A writer in Harper's Magazine says
that the summer residents OF Cape
Cod town made up their minds that
they must have a casino. The build
ing was intended pretty strictly for
their own use, but it seemed wise to
enlist the interest of the natives in
the project, especially as the project.
ors wished to secure a site at as low
figure as possible. A building and
finance committee was appointed,
and an old resident, Mr.. Button,
was made one of the three members
Of it.
He was owner of the lot on which
The summer cottagers had set their
hearts. AT the first meeting of the
committee the matter of contribu-
tions was broachcd. Mr.. Button left
his colleagues in no doubt as to his
position. He declined to contribute
cent.
Then the two cottagers labored
with him over the site. Fifteen
hundred dollars was his lowest figure.
They explained to him the advan-
tages that would accrue to the place
through the erection of the casino,
and the inevitable enhancement o.
the value of his other property; but
he held out for fifteen hundred dol
lars. Finally one OF the committee
said:
"Mr. Button, you shall either knock
off something from the price of the
lot, or, if we buy it for fifteen hum
dred dollars, you should make IL
handsome contribution.
"Well," said Mr.. Button, "I'm ready
to do something for you. can't let
the land go for less than fifteen hum
dred dollars, but if you make the
figure sixteen hundred dollars, 1 am
ready to contribute one hundred dol
lars to the fund"
The meeting was adjourned on mo.
tion of one of the summer visitors.

HEROES OF FICTION.

Usually Endowed with the Perfection of
Physlcal Qualities.
All novel readers-and they are
about 80 per cent. Of all the people
who read books at all--must have
been struck with the fact that the
heroes and herOines of fiction are
usually endowed with the very per-
lection Of physical qualities, even
though their morals be somewhat
of color, and their actions such as
should bring them directly within
the purview of the criminal law. In
fact, 1T may be said in general way
that the bigger scoundrel and villain
a man is, in novel, the more closely
does he resemble the Apollo Belve-
dere In outward semblance; and the
more sensual and dcceitful and base
a woman is, the more is she fashioned
in the physical likeness Of some me-
dfnval saint, or Of some woman who
seems to eXude goodness and virtue.
If the novelists are right, the.
physiognomists and phrenologists and
:the great detectives and students of
penology of the world must be wrong,
The latter insist, with complete
unanimity, that there is well-de.
fined physical criminal type; that men
and women with certain shaped heads
and faces, and with certain kinds of
eyes and facial expressions, make up
the criminal classes, and that it is
just as unnatural to find crime unas-
sociatcd with these physical quali-
ties as to find grapes on thorns or
figs on thistles. 1t is true that there
are exceptions to this general rule,
but they are not numerous enough to
impinge in any degree upon the gen.
erality of the rule.
Once in a while an Antinous may
turn burglar or a Corne!ia may be
convicted of shoplifting, but tho
cases are so rare as to cut no marked
figure in the annals of crime. III II
is to he conceded that realistic flc,
tion serves useful purpose, tina,
purpose should not be defeated by
making vice attractive or criminals
physically perfect. If the novelis,
desires to portray a bad man or wo.
man, the picture should be drawn true
to nature, physically as we'll as NOR
ally; and it is certain that there is
not only Il heredity in crime, which
stamps itself incffaceably upon the
physique of the criminal classes, but
that the environment produces that
hardening OF the countcnance, that
furtive look and that shambling,
stcalthy gait which detectives in all.

The TExAs-PAclFIc EXTENSION.

A special dispatch TO the Globe
Democrat from Ell Paso says: Jay
Gould has shown his real intention
in the matter of the extension of the
Texas & Pacific railway to the Pa
cifc. His agents consummated a
deal last Saturday at the City of
Mexico with the Mexican govern
ment whereby he has secured the
concession of railroad from Ciudad
Juarez (Paso del Norte), on the
Mexican side opposite this city,
through the states of Chihuahua, So
nora and Sinaloa, to Mazatlan, the
best port on the Mexican Pacific
coast, and thence to the City of Mex
leo. This will give the new system
two feeders for the Pacific coast
one from this city, which is con-
verging point of three large systems,
and one from Vera Cruz.

The COMPASS PLANT.

On the western prairie is found
what is called the compass plant,
which is of great value to travellers.
The long leaves at the base of its
stem are placed, not fiat, as in plants
generally, but in vertical position,
and present their edges north and
south. The peculiar propensity of
the plant is attributed to the fact
that both surfaces of its leaves dis
play an equal receptivity for light,
whereas the upper surfaces of the
leaves of most plants are more SEN
sitive to light than the lower; the
leaves thus assume a vertical position
and point north and south.-Denver

AN IMPORTANT COMPROMISE.

AS foreshadowed in these columns
some days ago, the Lincoln-Lucky
mining suit of S. A. Joseph has been
settled to the satisfaction of all inter
ested parties. 1t is understood the
settlement was in the nature of a
compromise, both parties making
concessions, in order to stop ltiga-
tion and to work the property. The
stipulations of the compromise are
daily expected here from Denver,
when they will be filed of record in
the clerks office. AS result of the
new deal a corporation has been
formed called the Lincoln-Lucky-L
Mining company,with capital stock
of sl,oOO,OOo, and the shareholders
are Henry Lee, AL Townsend, Ed
Billings, S. A. Joseph, Nj. l. New
house, George w. Middleton and r.
Y. Anderson, of Denver.
The effects of the old Lincoln
Lucky company are now in the hands
of Frank A. Cove, of Denver, as
trustee, to be transferred in due time
to the Lincoln-Lucky-Lee company.
The "Lee" claim is said to be the
Anaconda mine, over which suit is
now pending before Judge Seeds and
which comes up ten days hence on
the question as to whether the tenn
porary injunction secured by A. M.
Hendrie and others to restrain the
company from working it, shall be
dissolved or made permanent.
One thing is certain,t the true value
of the original Lincoln-Lucky vein
has now been fully demonstrated ,and
no matter what the result of this suit
may be, it will be worked for all
there is in it, greatly adding to the
prosperity of south Santa Fe county's
mining interests.-New Mexican.
