SEARCHING FOR RICHES.
Colorado Miner Found at His Post Three
Months After Death.


Anaconda Standard.I
Peculiar pathos attaches to the case of
James Devine, whose dead body was found
recently in tunnel where had been mining.
Here was man who for years lived practi-
cally the life of hermit, deprivlng himself
voluntarily of every pleasure, digging and
delving early and late, winter and summer,
in ceaseless search for riches which he
constantly believed the very next blow of
his pick would unearth. And after all his
toll and deprivation, without coming any
nearer to the accomplishment of mis- purpose
than when he first began, never realizing
any of the great expectations which he
believed the surface indications warranted,
there in the mouth of his tunnel, with no
hand to help him from the scene of his
accident to his cabin, no one near to ad-
minister medical aid or offer spiritual con-
ISOLATION, in the cold of January day he
suffered and died, his frozen body not to be
discovered until months afterYard.
There is. perhaps, no particular moral to
be drawn from the accident other than that
chance, a great factor in determining all
mems fates, is especially operative in the
case of prospectors. Other men, not many,
have undergone Devine's experience, and
struck it rich at last. Still others have had
to be satisfied with partial and unsatis-
factory results. Devine was a type of
hundreds of Door devils who in spite of un-
remitting toll and unnatural exertions
seem never to succeed.

HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE.

Families Who Lost All Their Possessions
Widows, Children and tho Fatherless
Left without tho Necessaries OF Life
Moro to BE Heard From Yet.
OIL CITY, June 6.-[ Especial. THE loss
can scarcely be estimated as yet. In the
burned districts termed ''The Flats" and
"The Bend. there was nothing saved,
and when it is remembered that
the property was, in many in
stances, owned or partially owned
by individuals of small means and whose
lives have been one continual struggle
against starvation, and that they only
managed to purchase little pieces of
property by the most stringent
privations, it may easily be con-
ceived what their loss means. The list of
the utterly destitute has been hard to OBJ
tain as the people here did not know the
unfortunate ones and they who did know
seem to have lost their self-possession.
The list from the Bend as far as I can
learn is as follows:
John Lowden, family of three, houses
totally destroyed with all the wearing
apparel, furniture and food Mrs. Lizzie An
derson, with babe, lost everything; T. Nc
Hale, family OF three, lOSG every IHlnS III
cluding food and clothing; Patrick Brady,
family of three, lost house, furniture and
clothing; Constable Adam FleIschmann,
lost property and all the contents;
Mrs William Pollock lost every
thing, McHale family of three, lost every
thing; Thomas family of three, lost small
store which he opened last week. Frank
Diebold family of four, lost everything;
Mrs. Odney, childless widow, utterly desti-
tute.
The list from ''the flats as given by the
Oil City Blizzard is: Lowe; George Kramer;
Martin; L. Fouquet; o. Smith; Joseph Will
son; John Calnpbell unknown family;
d. Sullivan; Homer; Mrs. Bes-
ton; Andrew Slack; Chris Kramer;
Lambert Eisman; unknown family; w. S.
Wick; - Cuplin; -Egan; = McA1ul-
lin; Downs: unknown family; unknown
family; J. Hassenfritz; - Harlow; S.
Steck; j. Roche; S. Richardson; =
Freeman; w. Briggs; j. 7. Hawks;
F. Goodrich /; F. N. Clark /;
A. He'll, w. Monks, j. Eisenbeis. j. Gra-
ham, - McReady, D. Fry, j. w. Baur-
linger, P. johnson, Benton, William
Caldwell, unknown family, James Fahey,
John Hart, Mrs. Hines, widow with nine
children, oldest 16; j. Downy, Mike Fahey,
w. A. Smith. M. Martin, - Feeney.
This list will probably be increased, as
there are many that will be heard of at the
opening of the relief office tomorrow.

A NEGRo's OPINION OF LIBERIA
A Beautiful, Healthy Country, With Fe,
fiIa Soil and ValuohIa Rocnurcea

Beautiful, Healthy Country, With Fer
tile Soil and Valuable Resources.
New Orleans Picayune.1
Some time ago an educated colored den-
tist, Philip I. Gross, sailed from Baltimore
to establish himself in Liberia. A letter
has lately been received from him giving
his opinion of the country. 1t is beauti-
full country, he says, reasonably healthy,
with a fertile soil and valuable resources,
but wholly undeveloped. and that millions
of dollars must be spent before much return
can be expected.
A few OF the negroes who. are there,
merchants and coffee raisers are doing
tolerably well, but the vast majority are in
poverty and suffering. The Government is
inefficient. Prices are very high. Wages
are very low, and as money is scarce laborers
have to take their wages out in trade. The
schools are as good as none at ALL Mr.
Gross is sorry 'he ever left the United
States and would advise any negro to stay
away from Liberia.

MIME. M0DJEsKA'S FAD.
1t Is the Cigarette Habit, Which She

1t Is the Cigarette Habit, Which She
Learned in Her Girlhood.
Modieska's fad is cigarette smoking, a
habit she learned in her girlhood. She
wanted to be with her brothers, but the
smoke of their cigars made her cough, so to
get accustomed to it she herself learned to
smoke. She thinks the fact that she smokes
a package or so of cigarettes every week
should not be regarded as heinous onense.
81 do smoke, but am not a smoker My
clothes never suggest the smell of tobacco,
my breath is not tainted, and there is not
trace of nicotine on my fingers I do not
shop, or gossip; am neither candy-eater,
a tea-drinker, nor a wine-drinker. 1 re-
quire something to quiet my nerves, and

all stimulants

The Bird In the Crowded Street.

Danske cambridge In the Critic
A bird sings in q crowded street;
His notes are clear; his tones are sweet,
There is such uproar of the throng
1t browns the sweet birds loudest song,
The trampling feet raise clouds of dust.
Yet still he sings, because he must,
For Nature bids, importunate.
Also! poor bird how hard his fate!
With none to heed the song he sings,
Nor ever free to use his wings.
Would Heaven that he might fly away
To some old forest, green and gray,
And there, in tranquil solitude,
His voice might ring throughout the woods
And timid creatures, frolickina,
Might pause to heed what he should sing;
But in this noisy, sordid mast
The sweetest bird might break his heart,
Might fall, unnoticed and unknown,
And die, mid hurrying feet alone.
