THE HERALD LAKE.
The Water at Salton Apparently at a
Standstill.


Advices were received yesterday at
the Southern Pacific Office that Herald
lake at Salton is about at a standstill,
the rise in the water, if any, being i'm
perceptible. 1t was stated as an ascer-
tanned fact that the company will make
no attempt to remove the main track, as
it has been settled that it is in nc dan
ger whatever.
The action of the Riverside gentleman
was laughed lat, who wrote to the de-
partment of the interior at Washington,
asking that the Southern Pacific COM
pany be prevented from stopping the
flow of water into the desert. The COM
pany it was stated had no intention of
attempting to stop the flow, and if the
lake wanted to stay there no steps would
be taken to prevent it so doing. No
news as yet has been heard from the ex.
ploring parties. gsa4

WHY AuMBUG TARIves.

Because Some People Don't Know What
 to Do with Their Money.
 The fact of the matter is, America is a famous place to make money in, but a wretched spot to spend it in People of great wealth and people of small fixed incomes gravitate to Europe as the moth to the flame. There is an all turing radiance about life abroad which compels the rich and attracts the poor. There is no city in the world where one gets so poor return for lavish expenditure of money as New York; there is no habitation on the glove where the misery of living on small fixed income is so emphasized.
 It has often been figured how much families who maintain great establish ments, like the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Belmonts, or Goelets, can spend in a year. With incomes ranging any where from $25O,O0O to $1, ,OOO, ,O0O, says the Illustrated American, these people find it wretched hard work to get rid of $150,000 year. No wonder that they invest in huge steam yachts and diamond stomachers. A box at the opera, a ball or two, horses and car riages, and retinue of servants take only dipperful out of the barrel; and then the opera box is as often let as not, the balls turn to ashes, the horses and carriages are knocked about over the worst pavements in the world, and a multiplication of domestics only means so many more trunks and incompetents below stairs. A man may belong to 2 dozen different clubs and scarcely find one that is agreeable. A woman will patronize twenty different modistes and be lucky to find two that fit her. The mere fact that all the town insists upon crowding into the uncomfortable con fines of Delmonico's when it wants to give a ball or eat a luncheon proves how utterly without resource New York IS as dispenser of amusement and comfort.
 Our theaters, truly enough, compare favorably with the best of Paris and LondoA4, but they begin at an hour when most people prefer to be at dinner; and if a play succeeds at all, it is kept on the boards until it dies of old age. Flow CT shows, horse shows and dog shows all very well and pretty in their way, but neither intellectual nor enduring are seized upon by society with an ab- surd avidity born of ennui A new sin ger or pianist or violinist is hunted like a quarry, and made amused but happy to find that he can command ridiculous prices to go and amuse bored people at their own houses. Men take to drink or hunting, according as the frost ia hard or soft; women band themselves together into all sorts of classes and cabals, to be imposed upon by posturers and ''Delsarteans, simply to kill time. Every kind of humbug thrives and pros pers in New York, simply because the people who live there and have money to spend are crazy to be amused

BRISTOL COPPER MINE.
The Work of Reducing the Ore Begur
 This Week.

The Work of Reducing the Ore Begun
 This Week.
 The crushing and separating plant at the copper mine was started Wednes- day noon.
 The Bristol Copper and Silver Mining company has now been three years pros pecting and developing the mine and establishing plant for separating the copper from the ore. Wednesday after noon the ponderous iron jaws of the crusher began to chew up the jagged pieces of rock, and the rattle and hum of wheels, the putting of steam and the rush of water from the spOuts of the mill struck new note in the progress of affairs at the old copper mine, which for over thirty years was abandoned, full of water and not considered worth pumping out.
 The crushing plant started Wednes- day, with capacity of 400 tons a day and a concentrating capacity of about forty tons is the result of three years of toll, expense and faith in the value of the mine which has in Manager Hubbel probably the most persistent and san euine supporter of any one concerned in the enterprise.
 It will be several days before the re- suits of the mill can be estimated fairly because of the friction and minor diff culties to be remedied as the plant works down to it's bearing and begins to yield the concentrated ore for the shelter to which it will be shipped. The ore is already marketed as fast as it can be separated and shipped.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Meriden polo team will disband tonight after the game. The action is no surprise to those who have been watching the attendance in that city. The team has been looking for a suitable citylin which to locate, but has failed. There is no doubt that the team could have found a place to locate around New York, but this was opposed by the league as being too far. The players of thetteam will not have to wait long for positions. Hartford is going to have some and so is New Britain.
 The Athletic team has been selected. These are the gentlemen: Gumbert, Weyhing and Jones, pitchers; Cross, Milligan and possibly Connie Mack, catchers; Connor, first base; Richard son, second base; Mulvey, third base; Corcoran, shortstop; Wood, left field, Hoy, center field; Larkin, right field. Another pitcher may be signed. This is a strong team in every department of the game, being especially strong in the batting line and in the infield.
 Add Gumbert, one of Adrian Anson's pet pitchers, has promised Manager Barnie that he will sign with the Athle- tics.

My Home.

COMMUNICATED BY W. Oh 'tis beyond the deep blue waves, In far distant northern cline; It's shores the wide Atlantic laves, Still murmuring songs of olden time: Of days that were-when like queen Old Erin gemm'd that ocean wave, Unfettered. free, each sylvan scene Home of the beautiful and brave. Of the days that were, ere tyrants yet Had forg'd the chain that now she
 wears;
 Ere freedoms sun in slav'ry set
 Upon the yoke that now she bears; Of days that " ere-ere cruel fate q'To lordly Albion yielded power, And issu'd forth her fell mandate, Accurs'd forever be that hour. There lis my hQme-my own hearts Where unchain'd yet 'th' Atlantic
 wave
 Still proudly dashes its wild foam,
 Tho Erin now is fettered slave. And yet my home-my own heart'l
 home,
 My soul still worships at thy shrine, Tho far on other shores I roam,
 Erin, my heart still turns to thine. Oh may the sun of freedom yet Shine OCT thee, ocean, Em'rald Isle, And then, in brighter days, forget Thy captive chains and letters vile.

ANOTHER NEW ENGLAND WRECK.

Freight Collision at WheatOn's This
 MOrning-Three Men Injured.
 Another serious accident occurred on the New England road, at Wheaton's station, shortly before noon to-day, in which one man was fatally injured and two others seriously hurt.
 Conductor John Clark's special freight train, Engineer Davis, left here at 7 o'clock this morning for Hartford. Conductor J. J. O'Brien and Engineer Shea, with engine 591, left at the same time, acting as pusher for Clark's train, which consisted of forty-two cars. The trains were made up so that Clark's engine was first, followed by the forty two cars, two cabooses and then came Conductor O'Brien's engine. The trains took siding at Wheaton.
 Conductor Conlon's freight, consisting of fourteen cars, which left this city at 10:20 a. m. came along and dashed into the rear locomotive. Engineer Shea and Fireman Sullivan were on the engine of O'B-iens train at the time and jumped before the crash. Engi- neer Meehan of Conlon's train at tempted to stop the rain but was too late. He drove his engine against O'Briens locomotive with such force az to wreck the two cahooses.
 Brakemen James Quinlan, who lives in this city on Jewelry street, George Younglove, whose home is in Middle town, N. Y., were in the caboose ot O'Brien's train. Another brakeman. John Ellson of Portchester, N. Y., was in the caboose of Clark's train. The three were caught in the jam. Young. love was crushed about the chest and head.

 There was a gang of railroad mel around the station this afte moon, bu they would say nothing ab ut the ac cident. One man went so far as t. abuse the newspapers and two news paper men who were at the station.

 Our magnificent Handkerchief Window which has been ad- mired by all who have seen it, is but reflex of our grand stock numbering about Two Thousand Dozen. Prices range from 5c to $500.
