W. S. Morgan, mining man from Carson,

the men employed sin the Holmes mine at
Candelaria, New, have suffered terribly
from the Iaysges of the grip. "Out OF 600
men employed in and about the mine," said
Mr.. Morgan yesterday, more than 400
have been Frustrated and something more
than 100 have died. The disease ragged for
time with such violence that work in the
mine had to be practically abandoned and
the company's physician was himself pros
trated from overwork. There has been an
abatement of the disease within the last
few days, l understand. but great many
of the men are still unable to work. This is
probably the worst case on record and pro-
portionately knocks the death-rate in Chicago

Left on Writing to Make Money.


1t is somewhat surprising to reckon
among the journalists and writers of the
country tho proportion of men who have
failed in other kinds of business, and who
took to the showing of pen with feelings
that must have been somewhat akin to de-
spair. This side of the story, however, has
been talked and written about until it is
no longer fresh enough to take for sub
ject. Who has ever thought about the
other side? Who ever counted up the num-
ber of men who fail in literature and are
driven to do other thngss There is a large
proportion Of them among successful bust
ness men. What, for instance, would have
become Of Jay Gould If he had had pluck
enough to continue writing county his

came so near Buying up the Baltimore and
Ohio when Garrett was first ready to let it
slip through his fingers. Sully gave
$4,000 dowry to his favorite niece when
she married, hut he could hardly have done

about the career to which he WAS destined,
and had continued to write and publish
books of poetry.

Daniel Huntington, the portrait painter
of New York, still practices his art in II
leisurely way. He recently retired from
the presidency OF the National Academy of
Design, an Office which lac had held con-
tinuously for thirty years. During his
long career he has probably painted more
portraits Of prominent men than any other
American artist. His work has always en-
joyed great popularity and is even now as
pleasing to many people as the newer style
of portraiture introduced by the younger
men who have brought from France, Italy
and Spain different ideas Of art with which
they hope to found in America better
school than the old. Mr.. Huntington is
seventy-fye years of age, but is still vigor
GUS and could get, if he would accept them,
