making an average, judge, of about 2, 000
| or 2, 500 words per day.
STORYTELLING Is q GIFT
She has not done much work for the past
| four years The death of her son Lionel,
and her accident at London, together with
other things, have made her moods such
that she has not felt like writing, and the
only work she has done has been some short
stories Of children here and there over the
world.
Mrs. Burnett is very modest woman. She
begged me to make the Ego in anything I
might quote from her as small as possible,
and she spoke very modestly concerning
herself and her work. She said she con-
sidered her power to write very largely q
matter of gift.
'It is no credit to me-" said she, "that I
have it. for / did not acquire it by hard
work. One man, you know, may be born
with voice tor singing, another may be so
strong that he can lift great weights, and a
third may have a wonderful faculty for
mathematics. Writing has always been easy
for me, and l like it and take pleasure in it.
1t has always been surprise to me that nv
books have been so successful, but suppose
it is the result of STORYTELLING talent
which is given to some people"
"You are now Mrs. Burnett" said I,
sjust at the beginning of your prime, 1 sup
pose you will continue to write?"
'I hope SC" was the reply. 'T should
feel badly to think otherwise; i, want to
write as long as / can, and L feel that
ought to be able to do better work as 1 grow
older"

replied Mrs Burnett. 81 have always been

ing poem. I can't say how good it was,
but probably not very good. NY family
had gone to church and 1 was alone at
home. 1 heard the bells ringing and in
some way or other I wrote this little verse
about the bells 1t was torn up and 1 don't
suppose the world lost much in its destruc-
tion. Still it is curious as showing an evi.
dence Of my desire to write. 1 remember
when was little girl at school that had
already in my childish way gotten an idea
that was to be an authoress and when we
children would speak together and say what
we would do when we grew up, used to

THE story is an old one, and don't be-
lieve it will bear retelling, but there are
some things about it that are rather inter-
esting. My first story was Miss Carruth-

cause I wanted to make some money. I

The National Printing omce.

Perhaps the finest public buildings in
Rio are the postoffice and the Government
printing house. The first is a sub-depart-
ment, under the general control of the Min
lister of Agriculture, and is situated in the
Rua Primeiro de March (Street of the first
of March), near the Custom House. 1t oc-
cupies only half a building, the other half
being the Caixa de Amortizacao, or sinking
fund and redemption bureau of she treas
ury. The new and handsome Typographea
Nacional (national printing Office, was
begun in the summer of IA, and finished
within three years at enormous cost. The
main building is radical departure
from the STYLES of architecture most
employed in Brazil, its facade be-
ing ornamented by symbolic designs
in relief, and the statues of Faust, Guten-
berg, Coster and Schoeffer. The commodi-
Gus offices are provided with machinery for
type founding and stereotyping; the large
halls OIL the upper floors are used for
lectures and exhibitions, and one on the
lower floor is given over to lottery draw
ings Never was Government printing
Office so important in financial point OF
view as this, because the infant Republic,
having little use for its Nresses, amuses
itself with the costly toy by putting out
new issues of bank notes every few days,
with truly infantile regardlessness of the
proportion OF notes to coin reserves.
Counterfeiting 10 Very Common.
When L went to the money changers'
Office to get some English sovereigns con-
yerted into Brazilian paper, the obliging
clerk asked if the bills were for immediate
use, and advised me to get rid of them as
quickly as possible, because oounterfeits Of
notes are so common that the Governments
frequently orders out Of circulation certain
issues that are found to be initiated, thus
rendering valueless both the good notes and
the bad.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. II. = Judah
Baker, one of the pioneer and best known
merchants Of san Francisco, was this
afternoon stricken with apoplexy, and
died shortly afterward in the Receiving
Hospital. Mr.. Baker was for many years
a partner in the well-known firm of Stew
ems, Baker IL Co., but about ten years ago
the firm was dissolved. Since then the
gentleman has been interested in Contra
! COSTA County coal mines, and also in
sawmills at different points in the Sierra

not engaged in business to any great eX-

meeting friends and business acuuaint-

morning he visited his office as usual.

greatly of the heat he did not appear to
be indisposed. About l o'clock he was
noticed 10 reel heavily i'll his Chair and
then fall in an insensible condition to the
floor. n telephone message was hastily
sent for the patrol-wagon, and a few
minutes later he was lifted into cot in
the Receiving Hospital, where he was at
tended by Surgeons Deane, Simpson and
Berry. Their efforts were of no avail,
and he died about fifteen minutes later.

FRESNO, Aug. T.-Forty stonecutters

In April the men informed Day that the
union had made a new schedule, to go
into effect in all quarries in the State. Ac-
cording to the new schedule the stone
cutters were to work eight hours instead
of nine, and receive the same pay, 81 per
day. Day agreed to obsel We the new rule
if other quarries did. The new rule went
into effect May 1st.
asAbout a month later Day found out
that the cutters in the San Jose and
ROcklin quarries were still working nine
hours a day at 81. He informed his men
they would either have to have the hours
Of cutters in other quarries reduced, or
they would have to return to the nine
hour rule. He gave them until August
18th to adjust matters. but nothing was
done. Yesterday was the time for the
men to go to work under the old rule
but they struck.
Last night several strikers came to
Days office and assaulted him. One of
the men picked up q coaI-oiI lamp and
struck him on the head, badly cutting
him with the broken glass. Other
wounds on his head were also inflicted
by his assailants. The men were under
the influence Of liquor. Day will put in

Desperate Fight Reported at Oliver
Springs.
NASHVILLE, Aug. ia bulletin from
Knoxville, Tenn, says that after a des-
perate fight at Oliver Springs between
the troops and the miners, the former
were forced to retreat and now have 200
convicts with them.
A dispatch from Colonel Wolford at
Hartman says: 'Major Chandler has
just arrived from Oliver Springs. All of
his men are captured, and the miners are
marching on to the Coal Creek Mount
aims"
The Chattanooga contingent of the
Army Of Tennessee, numbering $50, is
on its way to Oliver Springs.

MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Aug. 17.-All the

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE
CONvICTS.
NASHVILLE, Aug. Ex-Governor Blu
chanan says that he does not know what
he Will do concerning the convicts who
We're sent back to this city. He inclines
to the opinion that the Prison INSPECTORS
should declare the leases void because the
lessees claim that the authorities do not
protect them against mObS, and refuse to
pay for the support OF the convicts.
THE MINERS STRENGTH.
CHATTANOOGA, Aug. hilarious esti-
mates have been made as to number of
miners involved in the trouble The
estimates may be greatly exaggerated,
but the lawbrea<ers doubtless have a re-
serve force which will number fully
twenty thousand resolute men, and
should they break into open rebellion
and defy the troops, it will prove very
difficult body to handle, familiar as they
are with all mountain retreats and passes.
Conservative people think they will
hesitate to oppose the troops, their main
object seeming to be to create sentiment
against the convict lease system. Friends
of the miners say the trouble will subside
as soon as the mines are rid of convicts,
but most citizens fear it will take the
whole power of the State, and possibly
aid from the National Government, to
Quell the disturbance. The full force of
the State militia does not exceed two
thousand men, and they cannot possibly
be brought together inside of a week. In
the meantime, if the miners persist, they
will have accomplished their ends.

special 10 the RECoRD-UNION.
KNOXVILLE (Tenn.l, Aug. H.-Upon
the arrival of 200 convicts here this after
noon was the story of the surrender of
the stockade at Oliver Springs learned.
Last night some 800 miners seized three
trains, and with drawn Winchesters
compelled the trainmen to take them to
Oliver Springs. The Warden of the
stockade at Oliver Springs heard of their
approach, and when the miners were at
least mile away he assembled the guards
and convicts and marched to the miners
and surrendered.
This action comes as great surprise
after the defense made last night. The
guns of the militiamen were taken from
them, and the miners placed the convicts
and guards on train and sent them to
Knoxville. The miners then went to
Coal Creek, where men from the whole
region were congregating.
The universal belief is that Coal Creek
will be attacked before morning 1t is
impossible now to reinforce Captain
Anderson at Coal Greek, and the whole
brunt of battle will fall on him and his
command of $50 men. They have COM
handing position, are heavily armed,
and should give good account of them
selves.
The State is thoroughly aroused, and
men of all classes are ready to join the
law and order party to aid the military iii
restoring quiet, even at the cost of a few
lives.
The Sheriff of Knox County has called
for 500 citizens to go to the relief of the
miners at Coal Creek. This is under au-
thority of an order from Governor Blu
chanan. Petitions have been sent to the
Governor asking him to call upon the
General Government for aid.
