BLACK HILLS EXHIBIT.

As the recent legislature failed to
make an appropriation for the purpose
Of making South Dakota exhibit at the
worlds fair, il has been suggested that
the Black Hills people take the matter
in hand, raise sufficient funds and erect
building of our own. The suggestion
is good one and definite action relative
to the project should be taken at once.
Hot Springs has been mentioned as
being good point for representative
men from all over the Hills to get to-
gether and talk the matter over, and, u
deemed advisable, perfect permanent
organization. Something more than
talk should come from this movement,
and the Herald suggest that meeting

up. Will the editorial brethren or the
Hills please give their views on this sug-
gestion, so that action may be taken in
the direction Of making a call for the
meeting providing the suggestion here
in contained meets with sufficient ap-
probation to warrant call being made
Hot Springs Herald.
The CHRONICLE is already committed
to the policy Of advertising the wonder
ful resources of the Black Hills upon all
occasions where there are good reasons
for the belief that fair measure OF
benefit may be obtained. and in this
instance, where the grandest opportun-
ity that has yet been offered in this
direction presents itself, we are more
than ever anxious that the Hills should
take the proper steps to secure the great
benefits which would surely follow.
While it may be question as to the
policy of taking early action in this
matter, in view of the effort being made
by South Dakota's world fair commits
sioners for state exhibit, the policy Of
advocating Black Hills exhibit by the
local press, in case of failure on the part
of the state, can not for moment be
questioned. 1t is possible that more
central point than Hot Springs, which
would be entirely satisfactory TO this
place, may be urged, but that is ques-
ton Of little moment; the main thing
is to meet in convention, at the proper
time, no matter where, and take such
steps as will warrant the certain attain
ment Of the important object in view.

He Was shamming.

City Physician Gapen was called to
Deadwood short time ago to testify as
an insanity expert in the case of Harry
rutland, who was arrested as one OF q
gang Of counterfeiters, and who feigned
insanity. The Deadwood physicians
declared 1t to be genuine case, but
Doctor Gapen insisted that the prisoner
was shamming. He received letter
today stating he was correct, and that
the prisoner had given in. 1t seems
that on the 18th of March, the United
States marshal for South Dakota, left
Deadwood for Sioux Falls, where United
States court was TO convene. On the
way rutland requested the prisoner
chained to him to ask the marshal what
would be done in case he gave up being
insane. He was informed that the mar
shal, would say good word for him,
and shortly remaked: "Say. Mr.. Mar
shall, am getting d--d tired of thil
racket, and / am going to give up beinl
insane, and / want you to deal as lightly
AZ possible with me-" From that time
on he was as rational as any one. HI
now wants 10 tell of the gang ofcounter
feiters and get of easy. Rutland say
trying to be crazy was the hardest worI
he ever did, and he believes If he ha'
kept the racket up much longer h
would really 60 crazy. II il the las
time he will try the insanity dodge. III

Dakota Coal.

The census bulletin on the coal pro-
duction of the trans-Mississippi country,
published on the oath inst has the fol-
lowing in regard to the coal product of
the two Dakota's: "The ascertained
coal areas of these states lie in the west
ern counties between line drawn from
the Turtle mountains in the north
through Be-ley county, to the southern
border of the Black Hills and western
boundary line. The principal develop
ments have been made along the line oi
the Northern Pacific railway at Bis
marck and westward ut points along the
Missouri river as far north as Fort
Stevenson, and also in the vicinity Of
Hay creek in the Black Hills. The pro-
duct is fair grade of Ignite of brown
coal, suitable for heating and steam, and
in some localities is found to be adapted
for the manufacture of gas. The seams
vary in thickness from q few inches to
twelve feet. The absence Of transpor.
tation facilities has hitherto retared the
Ideveloment of the coal mining industry
but under the new condition of state
hood increasing demands will encourage
railroad construction and stimulate in.
telligent prosecution Of mining oper-
ations. The best authorities upon the
subject look forward to the near future
when the demands for fuel in these new
and rapidly developing states will be
readily supplied within their own
borders. No coal mining operations
were reported at the tenth census for
Dakota. The reports OF production
as published by the United States
geological survey in years past have beer
mainly estimates. The output OF al
mines in North and South Dakota, dur
ing the calandar year 1889. was $3.50;
short tons. of which 7 ,292 tons were from
ranches, digings and local mines. The
total product was valued at e4l, ,43l."

or to Lett is a prominent adornment Of
tue houses In Asoury Park and Ocean
Grove this season. Even the casual OBJ
servers notice the unusual mum Der OF
these signs. The season which is usual y
well advanced at this time of the year
Is discouragingly backward, and the
keepers of hotels and boar Lighthouses
wear q doleful look. There have been
retarded and backward seasons in
previous years, but the outlook for
money making this season is less
hopeful n for a long time. The full
effect OF this is understood best by those
VINO depend on the Income OF the ten
weeks OF the summer season for their
profits and maintenance during the re-
manning fo-ty-two weeks of the year.
Only seven weeks of the usual summer
season remains, and the prospects are
that they will not compensate them Tor
the losses already incurred
There are various causes ascribed for
this discouraging state of affairs. Some
OF the attributable causes are The
weather. the suppression OF the Mon
mouth ParK race track, the ultra severe
liquor measures. the growing popularity
of other neighboring seaside resorts. and
the repressiye and unpopular regulations
which govern the park and the grove.
The hotel and boarding house keepers
do not think the absence OF racing at
Monmouth Park has affected the matter
greatly. They admit that Monmouth
Park was a source of profit to them, and
its extinction has kept away some visit
ors, but they charge the dizziness to the
severe rules and regulations which pre-
vail "rhese regulations suit the re-
ligious element of the place, but 1t is the
smallest and least profitable element OF
the two Places" so spoke an old hotel
keeper. Continuing on the subject he
said:-"Our profitable visitors are the peo-
pie who come from the literally gov
eIned cities. They are free spenders and
generous in their distribution Of money.
1t is to them that Asbury Park and Ocean
Grove owe their successes. They are the
people who made the places what they
are, and they can unmake them by stay
ing away aud p%atronizing other places
dominated by more liberal ideas. As a
novelty the strict governing regulations
were a success, but when. with each sue

came more Illiberal. people became tired

MAKING A FouR TRACK ROAD.

PennsyivanIs to Have Eight Rails to
Philadelphia by New Years.
Unless something unexpected takes
place, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pauy will have its tour tracks completed
and ready for traffic between Jersey City
aud Philadelphia pY the first day of
January next. The company's plans two
years ago were fixed and arranged so that
the trains would nave been running sew
eral months z on the four tracks, and
this might nave been the case had mat
tiers run along as smoothly in Trenton as
they wished for. The great drawback In
carrying on the work was through south
Trenton, but all difficulties aud obstacles
have been removed and the work will be
now hurried to completion.
The biggest Job now on hand Is the adj
dition to the piers of the Delaware bridge.
There are four piers and W a0utments
that will have TO be extended on the
south side of the present railroad tracks.
This is necessary on account OF the want
OF room for the four tracks. The masonry
contract has beer given to Messrs. Parker
and Evans, of Philadelphia, and they
have everything In readiness to begin
operations tomorrow. Three derricks
have been placed in position, one on the
Morrisville end. another on the centre
pier and the third on the Trenton side OF
the bridge, A gang of men will be set TO
work at zach point, and by this means
the contractors hope to complete their
part of the WORK In two mouths. The
contract for the superstructure has not
been given out as yet, but the railroad
officials say It will be this week, and the
whole work on the bridge. including the
LAYING Of the two additional tracks, will
be completed by the middle of November
or the first OF December at the latest.
Considerable work has been done at
Trenton, where the grading and mason
work from Clinton street station TO the
Delaware bridge is finished. At Norris
VILE a new bridge over the culvert is
being built, and racks have beeu laid for
unite a distance. A new bridge Is in
course of construction at Lam berton
street, and a bridge has been built at
Centre street. A new station at Clinton
avenue is nearly finished.

The True way of Resting.

There are various kinds of rest. A
person whose occupation is chiefly
carried on by the use OF his brain
rests that organ when he changes his
work to physical labor. Thus. a
student who spends eight hours a day
in intense mental application deriv es
immense benefit, not only to his
brain, but to his whole system, by a
brisk walk of two or three hours or O
like period employed in chopping
wood. In such a case as this there is
no complete rest for the body; it is
simply a change of labor from one
kind to another kind. 1t amounts to
nothing more than a proper exercise
for the mental and physical systems,
and if accompanied with seven or
eight hours sleep and five or six
hours for eating and amuse-
ment, might be carried on indefinitely
in any ordinary healthy locality. The
body does not require absolute rest,
and, as a matter of fact, it never gets
it, for even to sleep there is a not in
considerate functional activity of
various organs going ON. Such a
student as | have referred to
would receive great advantage from
going to the woods, or to the noun
tains, or the seashore for the summer,
not to lie down in a hammock or to
loll on the sand, but to take his books
with him, preferably devoted to sub
jects different from those that he had
studied in the city, and to exercise his
muscles by rowing a boat or hunting
for natural history specimens on land
DR. sea, instead of working is
a gymnasium or walking up
and down Broadway or Fifth
Avenue. Such a person not only
alters the character of his mental and
physical labor, but he does it with
such advantages as are to be derived
from change of air and scene, and
they are by no means inconsiderable.
Now, this is not rest; on the contrary,
it is work, and very hard work, too;
but no one can doubt that that stu
dent would return to his regular pur-
suits with a mind and body invigora-
ted and capable Of doing better things
than when he left the city. f. :.
In short, a man or woman is to be
managed in respect to rest in very
much the same way that a farmer man
ages his field. The latter knows the
advantage OF succession of crops. He
knows that II he plants cabbages
every successive year in the same
piece of ground he will, in a short
time, have very poo cabbages and
very poor ground; whereas. by chang
ing from N to another, the product
is better and the earth Is not deteri-
GRATED. He knows. also. how much
mis- land is improved by allowing it to
lie fallow every now and then. Men
and women, like the fields of the
earth, require change, and, like them.
they require rest; and these objects
can never be attained in the way that
the average American sets ouJ to get
them.-Dr. William A. Hammond in
North Americaa Recsew. !

The natural prey of man is woman,

Wa are in receipt this morning of a
neat terra Gotta colored pamphlet,
labelled primo Messaggio Annuale
dello Onorle. Edoardo r. Stanton,
Sindaco della Citta di Hoboken, N.
j. We understand this to be an
Italian version of the first annual
message of Mayor Stanton of Hobo
ken, printed and issued for the benefit
Of some shark printer.
This is one of the worst examples of
jobbery we have ave come across. 1t
is only one degree better than com
non robbery. Assuming that 1000
copies r printed in Italian they
must have cost the city of Hoboken
at least 800 by the time the transla-
tion and the printing were paid for.
This expenditure is absolutely
wanton. extravagant and unjustifi-
able. There is no use and no demand
for the pamphlet. 1t is simply a job
for a printer, and even that printer is
so far ashamed of it that he does not
afix his imprint to it.
