An Unpleasant Experience.

occasionally" said a retired BURGLAR,
"a man transfers to himself in single
night the accumulations of another mans
lifetime but these instances are very rare,
and nothing could be further from the
truth than the idea that burglary is a
quick and easy read to wealth. The fact is
that the great majority of burglars make
but scant living, and to make even that
they must encounter many difficulties and
dangers. The burglars reward, whatever
it may be, is never commensurate to the
risks he takes.
II have myself acquired some property,
but if had my life to live over again l
should choose some other occupation than
burglary. Indeed, when you come to con-
slider the inconvenient hours and the gen.
eral worry and uncertainty of that class
of business, the wondor is that anybody
should ever 60 into it; il man is at all
inclined to be sensitive he should certain
~ keep out of it.
81 remember long time ago going
late one night into room in which there
was one man sleeping. His clothes
were on chair near the head of the bed.
I was bending over these clothes and
about to take them out into the hall when
the man suddenly woke up.
"Without an instant's hesitation he
threw his arms around me. I was young
then aud strong, but this man was four
times as strong as l was. think he
could have crushed me if he had wanted
to, and he put me out of the house with
the greatest ease. But before he did that
he carried me over to the bureau and
turned up the light. As he looked at me
my watch chain caught his eye, and do
you know that that man took my watch
and chain and kept them7"-N. Y. Sun.

He Never Fought Again.

The death few days ago of Sid
ney Bowen, q we'll known local
character Of Bull Hill, Pa, at the
age of 60 years, has called out some
interesting stories concerning him,
one of which is related by the New
York Sun. From the time he was
20 until he was 45 he was the bully
ing terror of all that part of the
state and adjoining towns of New
York state. He lived on a back
woods farm, but visited the villages
frequently, and never without whip
ping one or more persons wherever
he went. He was big, powerful
fellow, surley and quick tempered.
He was likewise a terror in his fam
lily. When his wife died she left
12-year-old daughter. This child
the father compelled to take entire
charge Of the household and to do
the severest- labor, at the same time
treating her cruelty. She bore his
abuse and the hard work patiently,
and grew to be sturdy but good
looking young woman. At the age
of 18 she and a young farmer named
Charles Cole fell in love. Her father
discovered this attachment and
did not make his daughters life
any easier because of it. The girls
patience and submission to her
fathers cruel treatment had for
years been the wonder of the neigh
borhood. One evening the girl was
standing at the gate in front of her
fathers house when young Cole
came along and stopped to speak
with her. Suddenly her father came
out of the house, and, stepping up
to the young people, with an oath
felled the girls lover to the ground,
knocking him senseless.
No abuse that her father had ever
heaped upon her had ever caused
her to show any resentment toward
him, but when she saw her lover
lying senseless at her feet from the
powerful ruffian's blow, she turned
on her father and with one blow of
her fist knocked him down. He
fell as suddenly as young Cole had,
but he was upon his feet again in
moment. Again the girl struck him
and again the big woodsman went
down. The girls lover had come
to by this time, and arose to his feet.
Bowen lay on the ground, uncon-
scious, and his daughter and Cole
carried him into the house where
he quickly regained consciousness,
but the fight was all gone from him.
He gazed at his daughter, who stood
defantly ready to renew the con-
test if he made an attack upon
her in speechless amazement, and
walked dejectedly out of the house.
The girl and Cole walked three
miles to a Justices and were mar
ried that same night, and returned
to her fathers. From that time
Bowen ceased to be a bully. He had
whipped every one of the best
fighters in all that region, and in
his very prime had at last been
beaten by an eighteen-year old girl,
and that girl his meek and long
suffering daughter. He became as
submissive to her as she had been
to him, and until the day of his
death no more peaceful, sober and
industrious citizen than Sidney
Bowen lived in Northern Pennsyl-

NOW MINES ARE Sailed.
a Coarse Thread Let Out the Secret in
One Case In Utah.


An amusing story is told by the famous
geologist, Clarence King, of an investiga-
ton which he made of an alleged silver
mine in Utah. He undertook the task at
the instance Of certain capitalists who
proposed to buy the property, which was
represented to be of enormous value.
Appearances we're certainly very much in
its favor. On the way down the shaft
the walls on every hand cleaned brightly
with shining oar in the light thrown BY
the lamps, and the sides of the drifts
wers equally beautiful to the eye OF the
observing expert. However, while exam
lining the rock more critically he noticed
by chance course thread hanging out Of
it. Ordinarily threads do not grow in
rock, and the finding of this one led to
the discovery of the whole swindle, for
the fact was developed that the owner Of
the mine had taken great quantity Of
galena, reduced it to powder, made it
with water into plaster and carefully
succeed the entire walls Of the shaft and
drift with he material. The plaster was
carried for the purpose in zunny sacks, a
thread from one Of which got mixed up
with it.
Perhaps even funnier was the sailing Of
q mine in Colorado which was bought BY
ex-senator Tabor by order from some
friends of his in Denver. Chicken Bill, a
prospector OF disreputable notoriety, did
the job, performing itso successfully that
$4,000 was paid over to him for the prop
erty without any question. He was SO
elated over the transaction as to be un
able to keep the secret, communicating it
to number of intimate friends. In this
manner the news reached Denver and
the people who had employed Tabor as
their agent in the matter refused to re-
cieve the mine. So, Tabor, finding it left
upon his hands, determined to make the
best of the situation and proceeded to dig
futher in the hole. He pierced the rock
ten feet further and came upon body of
oar which proved to be one of the richest
ever found in the State.
The gullibility of persons who buv
mines has passed into proverb. 1t is
said that such properties have actually
been sailed with half-melted silver dollars
and sold to investors who did not realize
that the precious metal was not found
in nature with the stamp of the mint
uponit Undoubtedly the most scientific
method of accomplishing this sort Of
swindle is to apply the silver in the shape
of nitrate solution. When 1t is ready
for use some salt is put into it, and it is
squirted over the rock, the salt causing an
immediate precipitation of the metal in
manner that Is equally conspicuous and
deceptive to the eye.-Kansas City Times.

The Two-Thirds Rule.

In answer to many inquiries it is here
with stated that it will require two
third vote in the forthcoming National
Democratic convention to nominate q
candidate for either the presidency or the
vice presidency. At the st. Louis con-
yention, which nominated Mr.. Tilden in
1875, there was an earnest effort to abolish
this ancient rule and to substitute a ma
jority vote. The sentiment of the con-
vention was largely in favor Of such a
change, but it yielded to the claim that
the delegates had been elected under the
old rule, and that, therefore, they ought
to vote under the old rule that it would
be wrong to nominate, at that particular
time, with less than q two-thirds vote.
This claim, we repeat, was yielded to. and
Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Hendricks were NOM
mated by two thirds of the full vote of
the convention. But resolution was
adopted asking that, thereafter, Demo-
cratic national conventions should be
called and conducted upon the basic Of q
majority vote. No attention was ever
paid to this resolution, and the two-thirds
rule still obtains. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Iy far the most active stock to-day was North

point, it suffered a loss of 3-s per cent. II
would be rash to assert that the decline was on
account of the falling Of in earnings. or selling
ly European holders For peculiar reasons this
stock has hccn for long time open to attack
The controlling interests in the company have
afforded no support, but on the contrary have
exposed on ever occasion It's weak points. The
purpose may bc c0mmcndable, or otherwise. The

completion of the Great Northern Railway may
tend further 10 divide the business in the far
Northwestern territory. but this rivalry is not

merely a speculative one, and il would not bc
