WOMaN'S FASCINATION.


Some OF the Reasons That Attract the
stronger ser to the asntier.
The power Of fascination inherent in
women may, moreover, be divided into
two kinds. All of us have seen the old
lady, generally white-haired, with kind
ly, pleasant features, on which time has
set no unfriendiy mark, who still retains
all her attractiyeness. Nots how the
boys and girls adore her, they will 20 TO
her and contide their sorrows, their
hopes, their ambitions, even when they
would not breathe word 10 their
mothers. The kindly. loving interest
cvineed in lads affairs by such one
has time and again first implanted the
impulses In his heart which eventually
led him on to an honorable career.
Quickly, almost by stealth, the good
Is done by such, and tho good seed sowa
which viii ripen In after time into =
rich and abundant crop. On the other
hand, we have most OF us seen, perhaps
in real life. certainly on the stage, the
fascinating adventures who, by her en-.
thralling beaute de diable, enslayes
mems souls and leads them Ton the
stagel TO dare all for her sake. Such 10
orectiy opposed to the sweet old lady
in her old-fashioned chair, and these
two form the opposite poles between
which the women who fascinate vary.
Types differ. and any one you may se-
lect has some position between these
two opposites Take, for instance. q
pretty and may be witty woman who,
hardly Of her own FREQ will, makes
every nan fall In love with her to a
greater-or less degree. She may be in
nocent OF all evil intention. but her POI
sition on the scale Is not vastly removed
from that of the melo-dramatis soceress
On, again, take the instance of the pref
ty young matron who, while devoted to
home, husband and children, yet has
several intimate friends Of the male per-
snasion. But her influence is all for
good. Her fascination IL exerted in q
worthy cause. aud she has found out a
great trath-~thst there Ia no friendship
so lasting. 80 true and 70 pleasant as one
between persons OF opposite sexes,
whsre true feeling Of bonnie camara-
deris exists and there Is no pretense Of
love-makinE. Such a woman, II sha
lives long enough, bids fair 10 develop
into snowy haired old lady on whose
friendship the children will rely. --

a country Where tho Mexican Dollar II
Not Below Par.


Not Below Par.
The chief coin In circulation along
ths coast OF China Ia the Mexican dollar
and the copper cash. Ii takes from 1000
to 800 cash to make dollar, and some
Of the coins in use are so poor that you
can break them in two between your
thumb and finger. They are OF the size
of an old red cent and have square hole
in the center In order that they may be
strung on string. They arc made in
different parts OF China, and tho viceroy
OF Canton is now building a mint with
modern American machinery, which will
turn them out by the million. In tho
interior of China these cash and silver
and gold In the lump form the money.
The standard Of weight for both is the
tael, which weighs about an ounce, and
the money Is cast In the shape Of a
Iady's shoe. Ten taels of silver make
. lump of about the size Of Chinese
lsdy's foot, and II you want to pay out
less than this amount you take your
knife or chisel and pound of as much
Is you want 1t Is the rudest way OF
doing business, but the Chinese are
very suspicious OF coins, and they like
the pure metal. Gold bricks about An
inch long and half an inch wide and OF
the same thickness are also used, but
you have 10 watch these. as you do every
thing else in the shape OF money In China.
In South China you will find chop dol
lar, out of which little chips of silver
have been taken, or In which holes have
been bored and these holes filled with
lead You will find coins under weight
and chunks OF metal which are coun-
terftit. and the result is that every
Chinese business house has to keep one
man whose business is to detect counter
felt coin. This man IL called the schroif,
and all the money OF the establishment
passes through his hands. He gives a
big bond. and he IL responsible for all
the money he takes in. II he makes =
mistake II il his loss, not that OF the
firm. You will Ind these schrehs con-
nected with our Legation abroad, and
they may be called the cashiers OF the
East. They are always Cinnamon, and
the foreign banks In Asia have all their
figuring and their money calculations
made by Cinnamon. The Chinaman
does this with his little box of buttons
strung on wires; he never makes q mis-
take, and be ia the great arithi- etician
Of the world.---F. q. Carpenter, In Ma

The Fun Commences.

The fight between the Burlington and
Missouri River railroad company and
'he original package dealers and foot
leggers along the line it is building
through this county has commenced in
earnest. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff
Gallagher brought down from Hill City
Aaron Lovett, Jerry Horgan and Frank
White. They are charged with selling
intoxicating liquors in violation of the
prohibitory law of the state. They
furnished bonds last evening in the sum
Of $400 each and the cases were set for
trial in the county court next Friday.
The titles of the cases are State versus
Aaron Lovett; State versus Jerry
Horgan and Ed Campbell and State
versus Frank White. The latter claims
that when arrested he happened to be
behind the bar in Christy's place.
1t is said, however, that he is one

charge may be placed against him if

The London Mining Journal, copy
of which reached our table on Thursday,
contains an elaborate account of the
opening of the great international Ex-
hibition of Mining and Metallurgy,
which was formally inaugurated on
Monday, the 2Sth ult at Crystal Palace,
Sydenham, by Lord Thurlow. The at
tendance was numerous, all enlightened
nations of the world being represented.
Among the representative Americans
present we note the name of James
Wilson, of New York, prominently con-
nected with the Harvey Peak Tin COM
pany. Mining machinery representing
the latest developments of science, show
ing the manner in which refractory ores
could be treated, we've exhibited and
their peculiar merits practically demon
strated. The exhibition gave to visitors
an opportunity of seeing the extent to
which science had brought machinery
up to the present date, and afforded
facilities and opportunities to those who
were interested in mining enterprises
for becoming more thoroughly convers-
ant with mining. Mineral ores of every
known character were abundantly dis
played, prominent among which, and
attracting much deserved attention was
the exhibit Of the Harvey Peak compa-
ny showing ore Of phenomenal richness
from their celebrated mines in the Black
Hills. The exhibition was one of more
than ordinary interest, and will have a
marked tendency to promote the best
interests of legitimate mining and scien-
tific metallurgy throughout the world.

We Are Ten.

The present issue completes the tenth
volume of the CHRONICLE; we have
therefore completed our first decade,
having reached the comparatively ma
ture newspaper age of ten years. 1t is
unnecessary to refer to the varied vicis-
situdes encountered by the CHRONICLE
craft upon the sea ofjournalism during
the ten checkered years Of its existence
The history of the Pioneer City, its
bitter trials and adverse experiences are
too well known to require repetition.
In the race for supremacy it is the
sheerest folly to look backward, hence
it is not the purpose of the CHRONICLE to
indulge in unpleasant vagaries of the
past, but rather TO direct its attention TO
the more laudable purpose of accom-
plishing favorable results in the fatare.
The CHRONICLE, like Custer, we are
pleased to say, has passed the danger
line in its history. There is not ling
ering cloud remaining upon the horizon
of hope, but on the contrary every token
Enthusiastically points to advancing prog
ress and permanent prosperity. We
enter upon our eleventh year with re-
newed confidence in the early develop
ment of our material resources, which
offer ample promise of bringing incal-
culable benefit to this city, and to the
Black Hills at large, which, with the
advantages Of railroad connection with
the outside world, now upon the eye OF
realization, will mark an era In our his
tory more pronounced in its progressive
character than can, at this juncture, be
fully realized.
The CHRONICLE will continue to work
in the interest of Custer and the Black
Hills, and endeavor to merit whatever
measure Of public patronage it may re.
ceive, relying wholly upon its merits for
future success.

A Fatal Wreck:

Last evening at about five o'clock the
work tram on the railroad started to
Newcastle from near the mines. Three
miles from town it stopped and
the men jumped off to finish half an
hours work, when the whistle of the
coal train coming down was heard. 1t
being necessary to come to Newcastle
ahead Of this train the foreman of the
construction gang ordered the men to
get aboard and started down the hill.
Just then the coal train appeared,
evidently beyond control on account
of the slippery track, and running at the
rate of probably mile minute. For
a short time there was a race betweeen
the new trains, but the heavy coal train
caught the other, lifting a car off the
trucks. This checked the coal train
and they parted, but again came to-
gether in fearful collision, about fifteen
cars, most of them being loaded with
coal, being piled together in broken
mass. The following were killed and
injured:
Tom Carney, laborer on DeYore's, ex-
ira gang, elbow dislocated.
Frank Taylor, buried under wreck,
and taken out dead this morning.
Robert Taylor, of Steward, Nebraska
brother of Auditor ]. G. Taylor of the
b. 4. NJ, caught under wreck; died al
3: 20 this morning.
ID. Malaby, head brakeman, thrown
quite a distance from train badly hurt,
but not seriously injured.
G. Langley, fireman, jumped from en-
CINE; not seriously hurt.
Oscar and Bernard j. KEYS, buried
under wreck, but not dangerously hurt.
The accident resulted from the light
mist which prevailed, resulting in wet
ting and making the tops of the rails
slippery without the engineer recogniz.
ing the fact until the heavy train was
under headway on the down grade
when it was impossible to control it,

Original Packages.

John Fitzgerald sent B. F. Pinnneo, a
detective, to the Deadwood extension to
break up the original package business.
Upon his return to Lincoln he said to a
reporter:
"How did the package affect the rail-
roads? Well, I'll tell you. To begin
with. we have sent men enough out over
the b. & NJ. to work on that line to have
finished 1t several times over. Yes, we
have sent over 1000 men to the front to
do that work through South Dakota,
and it is fact that we have been able
to keep less than 1000 of them. The
original package is the cause of il ALL
Since prohibition took effect in that
state the effect has been. not to diminish
the quantity but to lower the quality OF
the whiskey sold there. The local
authorities did nothing to remedy the
evil, and what the venders have been
pleased to call original packages have
been openly peddled all over the coan-
try wherever there were men to pay
for and empty them. Especially was
this true Of the long line of railroad con-
struction work. Men travelled the line
afoot with bottles in their boot legs, and
covered wagons with monster signs in
six-inch letters announcing Original
packages for sale" drove up and down
the line constantly. OF course they
were patronized. This would not have
been.so bad had they sold whiskey. But

correspondent in q communication to
that paper dated August 18th says:
Senator Moody stated to the Journal
correspondent to-day that he would not
leave Washington till the tariff bill is
finally passed. His state is greatly in
terested in TIN, fax, wheat, wool and
several other features upon which fights
are being made. He wants the best pro-
lection possible for these interests. He
said that he had been criticised severe
ly, and complimented for his recent
tariff speach, the estimate being made
according to the free trade or protective
ideas Of the writer's. The senator says
there is no mistake about the way
South Dakota stands upon protection
and the elections bill. She is for both.

Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, was visit
ed on Tuesday last by one of the most
violent and destructive cyclones ever
known in the State. Hundreds of
buildings were literally torn into kind
ling wood, whole rows Of trees were
blown down, railroad trains and loco
motives were blown over and utterly
demolished. Every electric light, tele-
phone and telegraph wire was totally
wrecked. Fully fifty lives are said to
have been lost, and the damage to prop
erty is estimated at half million dol
lars. Summervill, small town, thirty
miles west Of Scranton, being upon the
line of the storm, was totally annihi-
