A Tin Anvil.

Pioneer Press: A small anvil OF
solid tin, on which is engraved the
name of the editor of the Pioneer
Press and the legend "Harney Peak
tin, Black Hills" has been presented
to the Pioneer Press by Mr.. E. w.
Johnson. We suppose Mr.. Johnson,
who is an enthusiast on the subject
of the wealth of tin ore in the Black
Hills, intended to convey a hint, in
this delicate symbolic form, that the
Pioneer Press might do something to
aid in the industrial development of
the country by hammering away on
the tin question. 1t is at any rate
one OF many visible and tangible
proofs that there is tin, and plenty OF
it, i'm the Black Hills, tin metal enough
for that matter for all the tin plate
that can be consumed i'm the world.
The tin metal, it is true, is simply the
shining coat of tin plate, forming but
) per cent of it's metallic constituents.
The plate itself is of steel, and OF that
also we have an unlimited supply.
We have also no end OF the capital
and can command any amount OF
the mechanical skill necessary to put
them together and to make all the tin
plate used in this country, and the
Pioneer Press has no doubt that in
time this will he done. But it will
nevertheless cost the country good
deal OF money before this desirable
consummation will be reached. If it
shall be reached as soon as many san
gnine people predict it will be worth
far more than it cost. But that is a
question the future must decide.

The Heights Of Chivalry.

The row over the organization of
Stevens county, in Kansas, is still
causing bloodshed.
When the wires announced the death
of Sheriff Dunn in fight with the mob
the full story was not told. Dunn
was on the side OF Judge Botkin, and
was his devoted defender. He was
mortally wounded by the mob, but he
emptied his revolver in the faces OF his
thirsty murderers, and, turning to his
followers, said: "They have hit me.
| will be dead in half a minute. You
must get out of here. Tell the Judge it
is sweet to die for ones friendsr'
And, with a bright smile on his face,
this brave man man met his fate.
His last desire was to let his friend
know that he did not regret losing his
life in his service, but made the sacri-
flee with pride and pleasure.
II one OF Arthurs knights had
stepped out of the pages of romance
into this commonplace world OF ours
he could not have borne himself more
gallantly than did this loyal sheriff
when he sent this message with the
death rattle in his throat. In this
selfish age OF plutocrats and paupers
and cranks it startles the average
reader to find an unknown western
sheriff suddenly leaping to thesupreme
height of chivalry and dying like one
of the heroes in the brave days of old.

Pulls the Beam at 907 Pounds.

Among the arrivals in this city Tues
day morning we're John Hanson Craig,
wife, child and attendants. Mr.. Craig
is known to fame as the largest man
in existence or that ever did exist.
When interviewed, shortly after he
reached town, he was found seated on
three chairs in the dining room of the
Bellevue Hotel on Front street. His
weight is 9O7 pounds; height, six feet
and five inches; measurment around
the hips, 8 feet and 4inches; thighs GO
inches. In other portions of his body
he is comparatively small, having q
hand over which a No. z glove fits
neatly, foot encased in a No. 9 shoe,
and a head which takes only a Ia
hat. At the present time he is 35
years of age, but when two years old
he took a prize of 81 900 for being the
heaviest baby in the world, weighing
then 200 pounds. When in need OF a
suit OF clothes he is under the neces-
sity of buying 2l 12 yards OF double
width or ~ yards OF single width
goods, or within one yard OF what it
would take to make six suits for that
many ordinary sized men. His wife
weighs 130 pounds, and his bright and
intelligent looking little l3-months'
old badly, 30 pounds. They are pleas
ant people to converse with, and
cheerfully answer all questions asked
by the inquisitive news sgatherer.-Wil

Print Cloths Trade in 1891.

New York Press: The Boston
Journal furnished TO it's readers on
the eve of the new year the annual
print cloth sales statement OF the
Fall River mills. 1t is IL criterion OF
the sales of print cloths for the coun-
try, and is not calculated to encour-
age the "tariff tinkerers" i'm congress
or the "calamity shriekers" OF the
Democratic press, who year or more
ago were predicting the general ruin
into which this great industry was to
be preciritated by the passage OF the
Mckinley bill. Not only was the pro-
duction increased as compared with
the preceding year, but the sales in
creased, and the figures show that the
surplus stock unsold is now one-sixth
of what it was at the end OF 1890.
To particularize, the stock on hand
in the country OF print cloths was
27S, 900 pieces on the last day OF De-
cember, 1891, as compared with
,952 900 on the same day in 1890.
That the mills have been run contin-
uously and that the operatives have
been kept steadily employed at living
wages is one of the striking features oi
the years business.
1t Is, however, the low range Of
prices that have prevailed that is the
notable feature OF the statement
Print cloths have never sold so low il
this country as during 1891, the aver
age being 2.a5 cents, as against 3.34
3.S1, $50, 3.34 and $50 cents il
1890, 1889, 1883, 1887 and 1856 re
spectively. Ii these figures respectin:

penetrate their hardened skulls.
must be apparent to the dullest min'
that there has never been a tim
when the purchasers OF print cloth
cot so much value for their money
without disturbing the wages of work
lers or lessening their time.

JOKE ON A JUDGE
Gresham is Absent Minded leases in Point

Chicago Mail: Judge Gresham is a
very absent-minded man at times, and
yesterday he left very important de-
cision in an Indiana avenue street car,
and for time he gave up the docu-
ment as lost. Two United States mar
shals went through every Indiana car
of the City Railway company and
finally found the judges precious de-
cision. Judge Gresham's forgetfulness
frequently involves him in similar
trouble. Not many weeks ago, how
ever, he was the victim of n clever
sharper who was evidently acquainted
with his honor's proneness to forget
events. While engaged in writing a
very important decision he was called
upon in his court chamber by a griz-
zled old gentleman, who represented
himself to be a veteran of the late war,
major in Tennessee regiment, and he
requested the loan of SO to purchase
IL return ticket home. The judge is
such a kind-hearted man that he un-
loosed his purse-strings and gave the
man the required amount. Two hours
