Speaking of the new gold strike in the Grand Canyon and the excitement consequent thereto, the Champion says; "Small parties are leaving for the scene es the reported discoveries :; many, apparently, being afraid of being followed, leave during the night. The parties who made the first discoveries,
 Aessrs. Ashurst. Marshall and Nerris came to thus place, and after having assays made, immediately returned to the canyon. Seemingly fabulous re- reports arc ia circulation IS ts the riohsess of the reesat discoveries, but np 10 this time it has been impossible to trace the rumors b sRy authentic gource. Douhtless before our next lssue, moro desnite iaforGstioa will he obtained, as many oi the parties new out there will be com pelles to come in within tho next ten days, for supplies. Whatever may be the truth regarding the rumored disc Dyeriss, it Is highly probable that the preseat excitement will lead te important finds. as there 's, upqaestioasbly, mineral in that coun. try traversed sy the caayon. and min eral bearing leads must, in all presa- hlliiy, be exposed ir the walls of the famous gorge"

for ticket of admission. Families
would buy one less ticket than the
number of the party and unnecessarily
attempt to evade the watchful eye OF
the doorkeeper.
Two girls last night tried TO go in
without tickets and were stopped. They
talked awhile, endeavoring to impress
the doorkeeper that their friend Just
ahead" had surrendered their tickets,
but the little scheme did not work.
Altogether the ticket taking business
Is great gift, and the man who does 1t
must needs possess good memory, an
especially cool head and a temper
that refuses to be rlilied by
the most exasperating of patrons
As before stated in THE CRITIC the
ushers and other attendants employed by
Messrs. Barnum & Bailey are paragons
of patience and politeness, quite capable
of handling the enormous crowds
that attend and of making them
comfortable. But there are exceptions,
and in the selection of some of
the doorkeepers, the proprietors
have been most unfortunate. This was
strikingly illustrated last night In the
assault on Senator Eustis and in many
petty acts of dlscourtesy, and even
brutality. Those who complain Of this
treatment offer to submit the proof, and
it is q pity that the good name Of
Messrs. Barnum & Bailey should suffer
thereby.

Queer People Telegraph Operators
Have to Deal with Occasionally.
Telegraph operators with sense of
the ludicrous sometimes find their dull,
every day routine enlivened by the
amusing messages handed in by their
customers. An operator in small
Western town, says the YOUTHS Com
panion, was sitting alone in his office
when an old lady entered, who informed
him that she wished to send message
TO her daughter.
How much will 1t COST" she asked.
Fifty cents for ten words"
How much for five words?"
"The same. We do not send any
message for less than fifty cents"
"All l want to say is, i will come
home tomorrow and that will be the
same as if there were ten words, eh?"
Eyes, ma am
"Well, I may as well have my money S
wuth," she said reflectively. Then
holding up one hand and counting the
words off on her fingers, she added
"Johnny-cut-a- a-tooth-yesterday
There" she said, you send that
along, too, to make us even," and with
a comfortable sense that she had not
been defrauded by the company she
went on her way.
The operator was of too sympathetic
a nature to be amused over the distress
of a young man who, three minutes
after the departure of the last train for
the day, rushed up to the window and
dashed off the following message to be
sent to town sixty miles away, adj
dressed to a Miss Something -or.Other:
Have just missed the train. Must
postpone ceremony until tomorrow.
Would walk If l could. Try to be
calm"
