wood as provisions. Milwaukee and
the Wisconsin towns have already sent
several loads of provisions and several
hundred dollars.
Many of the convalescent typhoid
patients, and others who are sick, need
fresh beef, which it is not easy to OBJ
tain. There are few cows on the range,
and milk is scarce and dear. This
makes it hard for the children and the
babies. Most of the houses visited are
comfortably furnished and clean, and
there are no signs of restitution except
in the flour barrel and the pantry.
Some of the FinlanGers and Bohem1-
ans, however, have all the elements
of dirt added to their Indebtedness OF
famine.
Last year the amount of money paid
to miners in IronwOod was 100000,
and on the whole range $500, 900. Near
" all OF it was spent on the range.
! Ironwood was the second mining town
in the United States and more thar

now employed on the whole range

Food Is Their Cry.

Famine has clutched the iron belt OF
Michigan and Wisconsin in its freezing
fingers. On the Gogebic range, In the
heart of which is located the once
thriving towns of Hurley, Wis, and
Ironwood, Mich, business of every
kind is paralyzed, and starvation con-
fronts the community. More than
$4,000 human beings, absolutely de-
pendent upon the iron mines, have SIX
long months of weary winter before
them. and in that lapse OF time there
seems no possibility of a cents being
earned. Of that number possibly 5000
all told have accumulated sufficient
means to carry them through until
summer. But this class includes only
those who are engaged in the business
of buying and selling. The miners and
laborers and their families must either
have food and clothing from charita-
BILE world outside the Gogebic district
or they will perish with cold and hun
ger before spring buds the trees.
Throughout the entire iron and lum-
Der districts of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, embracing an estimated population
of i25, 900 persons, the chief industries
upon which the people depend for
bread have been cut off or suspended
practically since May. In all the differ
ent iron and lumber districts suffering
has been entailed to more or less de-
gree, and the outlook for the next six
months is ominous. None of the iron
mines which form the Lake Superior
district, including the Vermilion and
Mesaba ranges in Minnesota, are now
doing more than working force sutfi-
cient to keep down the water in the
pits. The miners who are thus en-
gagged work for wages that represent a
cut of more than 80 per cent. OF what
they were last winter.
The Chicago Inter Ocean recently
sent out special correspondent, ac-
companied by an artist. to ascertain
the exact condition OF affairs. We re-
produce some of the illustrations here
and, according to the report in the
Inter Ocean, accounts of the prevail
ing restitution have not been exagger
.ated. Business is at standstill, thu

An attempt was recently made IN
a certain court 10 discontinue case
on the ground that the plaintiff was
dead. Whereupon his counsel sub
mitted an afiidayit from the plaintiff
himself, swearing that he was still
alive.
This recalls a queer case which oc-

several miles and. not being accus-
toned to the work, can make hardly
so cents day. Although the city
could little afford the expenditure 400
men were employed in street improve
ments before the snow fell, but that
occupation is now gone. The typhoid
epidemic cost the city $1,000 and the
county like sum, and the merchants
| have given credit as long as they were
able. For some time, in fact, they have
been receiving county bills in payment
for provisions, but now they have an
nounced that they cannot pay their
own bills in county paper, and the
Mayor has been obliged to call upon the
outside world for aid.
Hate to Ii scome Paupers.
Naturally people who have property
Of their own are reluctant TO accept
charity, but they cannot eat their
Furniture or houses. There are few
impostors, but there are more whose
pride prevents them from receiving
what they need. One old man wa:
seen to be terribly agitated at the
distributing department. He would
walk away and then return and this ne
repeated several times. When asked
if he needed any help, he admitted that
he did. THE old woman and me could
get through all right" he said, If
had to steal; but it's the children.
Finally the old man took away portion
of provisions, still bewailing that hi:
children must see their father come
upon the town. The States of Michigan
and Wisconsin are responding to the
call for help. Grand Rapids sent two
car loads of -four, Lansing one, and the
smaller towns in both States are giving
benefit entertainments and otherwise
contributing for the destitute.

Lately IA Forest
Seven years ago this tract of country
was a forest. About that time iron was
discovered in the mountains, mining
seemed profitable, and the city of
Ironwood grew as if by magic, until it
now has population of about $500.
Across the river in Wisconsin is the
village of Hurley: seven miles east Of
Ironwood is Bessemer; and six miles
beyond is Wakefield. To the west of
Ironwood are several small settlements,
where mining shafts now lift their
heads like ghosts. They are not
worked any longer. All are as silent
as the grave. Most of the inhabitants
have gone there within five years.
Some are American born, but there are
more Poles, Scandinavians, Germans,
Irish, Firms, Cornishmen and other
foreigners They had almost nothing
when they went there, but work has
been abundant, wages fair, and the
people have saved snug little sums in
some instances, which they invested in
their homes. There were several
building and loan associations, and al
though some of the houses are cheap
enough affairs, most of the miners had
paid wholly or in part for what they
we're proud to call their own.

mines in the smaller towns shut down.

THE QUIVERING EARTH.

Seismic Disturbances Terrify the People
of the East.
NEW YORK, March S.-Many persons liv-
ing between Twenty third and Fifty-ninth
streets perceived q shock like that of an
earthquake at 1910 this morning. Build
ings were perceptibly shaken and the con-
viction Of seismic CONFUSION of some kind
had taken place was general among those
living in the district.
LONG ISLAND CITY, March S.-Long Island
seems to have felt what is thought to have
been an earthquake at about 1910 O'Clock
this morning. At Long Island City the
shock was especially severe, in many in
stances shaking pictures from the walls,
and creating havoc among tho c%hinaware
and bric-a-brGc. AT several houses people
fled in terror to the streets in their night
robes, supposing that the houses were set
thing or falling. Most of these say that a
dull boom and a strongly marked stimuli
~taueous trembling of the earth were per-
ce ntible. The seismic disturbance lasted
several seconds and then passed away in a
southerly direction.

but there are a number Of walks that are in
q dispraceful as we'll as a dangerous condi-
ton. There is one walk in particular
which l think certainly deserves attention.
namely. on Helena avonus for several
blocks north from the intersection OF Rod
nsy street. The walk il lower than the
grade of the street, the grade having been
raised when the street WAS improved. Dur
ing the rainy season, and now while the
snow is melting. the great quantity OF
water that pours into Helena avenue from
Ewing and Rodney streets is obliged to Sc

being no cutters in tho street to cnrry it OIL.
Tho walk is thus submerged to IL depth of
several inches, and when the water sub
sides a deposit of an inch or W OF mud 10
left. Where Hclsna avenue crosses Dry

to three feet.

the convicts to escape from the state prison

had been eupplied by secret means with
nearly 100 rsvolvers. Their plan was to kill
any one h opposed them. Information
reached the officials in season to balk their
scheme. Discipline is said to have been
utterly at lax, the convicts dominating the
officers. The pistols had peen furnished
them at 500 each by some one. Gov. Rus
