From the Galveston News.
Two radical changes have contributed

these is machinery by which much of
the labor formerly done hand is now
turned out. Another is women, thous-

formerly held exclusively by men. 1t

From the Atchisoa Champion.
The reason girls cannot throw stone
is simply because the clavicle or collar
bone in the female anatomy is some
inches longer and is set several inches
lower down than in the masculine frame.
This long, crooked, awkward female
bone interferes with the free, full use OF
the arm. This is the reason q girl can
not throw stone.

! Supt. s. 7. Godbe reports matters at
both the Day and the Mendha mines as
looking exceptionally well. At the Day
the new tunnel being run in the Junction

body continues to improve in size and
quality and Wine and an upraise are
being run in it, both in ore, though in
the upraise the ore is much better in
quality than it is below. About twenty.
eight tons Of ore from this place have
been shipped to Milford as back freight,

tage of lead. A large quantity of similar
grade ore now lies on the dump. From
the indications present Supt. Godbe be.
lieves the development in the Junction
will equal those in any other quarter Of
the mine.
At the Mendha the new working in.
cline has reached a depth of 535 feet, and
the mine looks better than it ever did
before. The ore now lying on the dump,
taken out in the course of development,
will, it is estimated, give net yield of
$4,000. The new incline shaft, which
goes down at the same angle the whole
distance, was for some time past out of
the ore channel. Last week ore was
struck again, and on Tuesday splendid
showing was made, when the drillings,
eighteen inches deep, from a seven by
nine foot face Of ore were assayed and
showed value Of los ounces In silver
per ton.

The Sudden Slide OF an italian From Az

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 24.-From
an Italian count and the husband of
young American heiress, to pauper
inmate of the Philadelphia almshouse
This is the transformation that has
come over the count di Montercole
within twelve months. In that period
the count has furnished plenty of ma
terial for sensational stories to the
press. His wife was Miss Virginia
Knox, Pittsburg heiress, who secured
a divorce from him some time ago,
after having had him arrested several
times for threats and violence. After
the bonds had been sundered.
the count sunk down to such
low financial ebb that he was
admitted to the lmshouse and on
one or two occasions was committed to
the house of correction for breaches of
the peace. The ordinary routine work
Of the almshouse, however, is not to
the Counts liking, and he recently en-
tered a formal protest, setting forth
that he was of delicate and sensitive
nature, that menial work was good
enough for peasants, but altogether
out Of line of what might be expected
of gentlemen, and that he did not pro-
pose to lower his dignity by breaking
stones, washing floors, or performing
any of the other duties to which pau
pers are assigned. Instead of sitting
In solemn conclave on this protest, the
authorities incontinently thrust the
Count into cell reserved for insuboip
idinates and kept him on bread and
water until his excessive dignity had
somewhat abatcd. Recently an inves-
tigation into his sanity was made, but
the physicians declared him to be
compus mentus, and he was put back
to work.

WAYNE, Neb., Nov. 27.--Wayne was
visited by the most destructive fire last
evening which has ever occurred in the
history of the city. At 1870 o'clock the

to be on fire; and the building was
soon n mass of flames In less than an
hour quarter block of six store build
ings, occupied by six Of the most prom
inent firms in Wayne, was destroyed,
and it was only the hard and excellent
work of the citizens that saved the en-
tire west half of the city. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but il Is sup
posed TO be the work of an ineendiary.
1t was first discovered on the second
floor OF the Hoffman building. The
total loss is about S55, 900. The losses
ore as follows;
o. A. Hoffman, building $500. II is

morning in session and listened to the
reading of the call for the

to call on President Harrison at
the executive mansion. Chair
man Clarkson introduced each
member by name and after few min
utes spent in conversation the COM
mittee withdrew and proceeded to
the state department where they
paid their respects to Secretary
Blaine. The Minneapolis people were
up early this morning. They looked
quite as happy as they did
last night, but they kept their jubilant
feelings we'll under cover. The
delegation would call in body on
Secretary Blaine at the state depart
ment about 1890 p. m. The reception
was informal. There were no
speeches.
