PRENTICE MULFORD's LIFE.
A Goldhunter, School Teacher, Lee
turer and Literary Man.


New York Times.
Prentice Mulford's life had been one of
constant changes and many disappoint-
ments. He was born in Sag Harbor, be-
tween 1885 and 1910, and his early years
were spent among the ships and sailors
that once frequented that busy whaling
port. The California gold fever became
epidemic when he was yet lad, and his
writings show his eagerness to join the
young men who left Sag Harbor for the
mines.
In 1855 he shipped before the mast on
the clipper ship Wizard, bound from New
York to San Francisco, making the trip
around the Horn in the double capacity of
cabin boy and deckhand. For several
months he drifted aimlessly about San
Francisco, finally shipping as cook and
steward of the schooner Henry, whose
destination was the Lower California
coast. The next few years he spent as
placer miner in the widest of the then
partially populated gold fields.
Unsuccessful as miner, milford next
taught school in a mining camp in Tu-
olumne county, Cal. In 1923, when the
county, he was one of the first to shoulder
pick and stake out a claim near the then
promising town of Copperopolis. This
place lived and died in ten wears, and with
its death persisted Mulford's fortunes in
the copper business. He was by no means
discouraged, however, for in the next year,
when silver leads were first discov-
the spot. He organized the milford
Mining, Prospecting and Land Company,
staked out claims and trusted to luck. In
one year his company had failed and Null
ford was again reduced to poverty. In the
winter of 1864 the impoverished miner
began long tramp on foot from the scene
of his Nevada mistortunes to his old claim
at Sonora, in Tuolu mne county, Cal
On the way he became lost in the Sierras,
and suffered terribly from cold and hunger.
At one time all his toes were frozen and
death stared him in the face, but he pulled
brayely along and in the spring he reached
Sonora. His next year was spent in that
town in the capacity OF digger OF post
holes. While thus engaged he wrote lee
ture with which one day he astonished
his fellow-diggers. His reception at their
hands proved so enthusiastic that he
abandoned the post-hole digging business
altogether and spent the next few years
as an itinerant comic lecturer.
In 1866 he conceived the idea of running
for the legislature from the Sonora dis
trict His friends encouraged him, and he
set upon the task OF making hot canvass
of the county, but his reception outside of
Sonora not proving encouraging, he gave
it up as bad business. Then he wrote
letters for the Golden Era, a weekly
newspaper published in San Francisco,
and eventually the editor Of that sheet
offered him position as associate editor,
which he was glad TO accept. His services
on the Golden Era were so satisfactory
that in few years he was made editor-in-
chief. In the meantime he wrote for other

Providence, R. l., Special
The relations of Rev" Henry E. How
land and Mrs. John L. Sullivan, who is
said to have joined the Salvation Army at
the request of the persuasive parson, were
fully aired in the divorce court today by
Mrs. Rowland, who feels aggrieved that
her husband should prefer the society of
Mrs. Sullivan to her own. Mrs. Rowland
said that her husband was a good man I'M
til Mrs. Sullivan joined the church. Then
he was in Mrs. Sullivan's presence all the
time. The parson told her he had met
Mrs. Sullivan one day. and on the next he
brought her home to live with him. Mrs.
Rowland said she couldn't stand that and
told her husband to send Mrs. Sullivan
away. They went away together, os-
turned at o'clock in the morning. Then
Mrs. Rowland gave the parson a lecture,
told him it was a disgrace for preacher
to 60 away with a prlze-fghter's wife and
to accept a diamond ring from her. Sew
eral times, the witness said, she remon-
strated with her husband about associat-
ing with Mrs. Sullivan, but it did no good.
"He said he never could be a husband to
me, and he never was from that time"
said she. 'Once ! went to his church and
he began preaching about Deliah, the I'M
faithful wife. I came home because the
people of Centerville were going to tar and
feather him. He sent word to me that

and was to have received SD month, but

my husband was sick Mrs. John l.. Sulli-
van took care OF him. He never cared for
women before he was converted" Accord

with Mrs. Sullivan. The case will be con-
tinued next week, and Mrs. John L. Sulli-
van has been summoned as a witness.
