Addresses the Teachers of tn
North Side Association.

w. W. Pendergast, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, was in
the city last Saturday afternoon, the
guest of County Superintendent S. j.
Race. Mr.. Pendergast was here in re-
sponse to an invitation asking him to
address the North Side Teachers AS
sociation on the subject of the "Read-
ing Circle" The address was delivered
before the teachers at the high school,
about forty teacher being present. He
was introduced by Supt. Race. Mr.
Pendergast spoke in plain matter
of fact way without any attempt at ell
oquence. He endorsed Supt. Races
idea of teachers laying out plan and
then living up to it. He admonished
them not to initiate others, because
they might fall into the error of not
knowing what that was done for.

and as much as it is now doing it is a
paying work for Mr.. Moon. These are
the cold, plain facts, given without en-
thusiasm, without desire to under
estimate or over estimate.
Geology speaks of a third vein as
being the real and best vein. It is the
belief that such vein exists under the
second vein now being worked. Mr..
Moon has ordered shaft and will
commence to sink it as soon as it ar
rives.
The Minneapolis Journal has given
considerable attention to this mine of
late. Its enterprising correspondent
here has kept the paper informed as to
MIR. Moons progress in the develop
ment of the mine, and in the meantime
a reporter of that paper calls at the
office of State Geologist Winchell. The
latter thinks it a pronounced vein of
Ignite belonging to the cretaceous
system, and may extend into the bluff
26O feet. On the old George johnson
farm he says that Ignite was found in
1871 in drifts from one to four feet in
thickness, and that coal was found in
Jumps rather than in strata. Mines
were opened on the farm of George
Houghton and coal was found at a
depth of 40 feet. It was vein of lig-
mite Or charcoal, as it is known scien-
tiically, and it was in the cretaceous
formation of that part of the State.
This bed of coal was seven feet thick
and after series of attempts it was
proven that it could not be mined
cheaply enough or in sufficient quaint
ties to compete with the coal shipped
in from Pennsylvania and Iowa. After
making very thorough examination
of the matter, State Geologist Winchell
reported as follows:
"It appears nearly certain that there
are no workable deposits of coal in
this region. The rocks on the Cotton
wood and Redwood rivers, in which
coal is found, belong to the cretaceous
system and the coal secured from
them is of an inferior grade. It varies
in quality from camel to charcoal.
The charcoal is light and quickly ig-
mites, but large percentage of it is
ash. These beds lie in irregular sheets
end such coal is likely to appear at a
great many places throughout the
State"
Prof. Uphafn, of the same depart
ment says: eff three or four tons of
coal arc being taken daily from the
mine, it would seem to indicate that a
considerable deposit has been found.
However,when l went over the ground
under the direction of the State early
in the 7Os, | was of the opinion that
not a sufficient quantity of coal to
prove profitable to mine it would be
found in that part of the State. Con-
siderable OF the Ignite that I ran
across was embedded in rocks and it
would be very difficult to work it. In
the light Of my researches I am in
cined to believe that not very great
quantity of good coal will be obtained
or mined in that part of the State"
j. A. Schmahl leaves for St. Paul
oday, taking with him samples of
coal to be handed to the State geoli-
gist for examination.

A Western Tragedy.

The Saunterer has a friend on
the staff of Western newspaper
with whom he often exchanges in
teresting clippings. The latest bit
received at this Office was the fol-
lowing, cut from small paper pub
lished in North Dakota: "The
many friends of Mrs. E will be
pleased to learn that she is not in
serious danger, as the shock is not
50 severe as at first supposed. The
particulars of the unfortunate af-
fair are interesting. It seems that
Mrs. E, while going up stairs,
saw q mouse run behind barrel.
Her cries were heard by the hired
man, who hastened to the scene,
armed with his gun and followed by
his faithful bulldog. Mrs. E
then took courage and poked the
the barrel with her broom. The
mouse ran out, the dog started in
pursuit, the hired man fired, the
dog dropped dead, Mrs. p
tainted, and the hired man, think
ing he had killed her and that he
would be arrested for murder, took
to his heels and has not been heard
of since. The mouse escaped. -

Grants Musical Ear.

General Ulysses S. Grant was not
a musician, but he took a certain
degree of pride in being able to dis
tinguish two tunes from all that he
had ever heard. He frequently re-
naked that he never failed to re-
cognize "Old Hundred" and cyan
kee Doodle"
In the spring of 1880 General
and Mrs. Grant were in Galena, oc-
cupying the house which Mrs.
Grant still owns. On April 9th.
the fifty-ninth birthday of Grant, a
number of his townsmen, in recog-
milton of the event, gathered at his
home to treat him to serenade and
wish him "many happy returns. "
The local band was called upon to
furnish the music. The visitors
and band assembled in the front
yard and the latter opened the SER
enade with it's usual opening mel
ody, "The Girl I Left Behind Me. "
General Grant appeared on the
veranda, where he stood resignedly
until the musicians had blown out
their customary three airs. Then
he stepped forward and heartily
welcomed the crowd, at the same
time inviting the people inside,
where they were cordially greeted
by Mrs. Grant. An hour was de-
lightfully spent. One of the party
apologized for the quality of the
music which the band had furn.
ished. The Generals reply was
s'You might as we'll have serenaded
me with tin pans, as far as | am
concerned, as I know less about
music than anything else that !
can think of. | know, of course
that your band played Yankee
Doodle for it's opening piece, bu'
whether it tplayed artistically or not
l am not able to judge"
Further apologies were no
deemed necessary, nor did hl'
friend enlighten him that his un
cultivated ear had mistaken "Tht
Girl l Left Behind Me" for one o
the two airs which he never failee
to recognize.-Chicago Tribune.

Two Fast Rides.

Foremost among English feats of
horsemanship we have one which
for generations hassbeen represent
ed in the circus ring. Dick Tur-
pins famous ride from London to
York has taken its place among
nursery legends; nevertheless it
was actually performed, and stands
as a record of it's kind. The high
wayman, riding with the very best
reason in the world-the safety OF
his neck-covered the distance OF
over 200 miles in a little under
twelve hours. This performance
stands alone as the longest and
fastest journey on the same horse.
Most of the long rides of which
records exist have been made for
wagers. Such records are, there
fore. reliable.
Squire Osbaldestone's undertak-
inc to ride 200 miles in ten hours,
which he accomplished so success
fully, is one of the most remarkable
feats of endurance in the saddle,
and has the merit of freedom from
cruelty. The Squire rode his race
on the Newmarket race course,
changing his horse every fourth
mile. Four miles. is safe limit
for such purpose, as that splendid
horseman knew. Three-mile laps
could have been covered in time
relatively little better, but sound
horse in fair condition could do his
four miles without distress In such
time as to make that distance, with
the subsequent reduction in the
number of changes the most suita-

stone used sixteen horses for his
task, and rode standing in his stir.

Some Wives of Presidents.

Three of the first four Presidents
of the United States married Wild
ows. The wife of John Quincy
Adams, who received her education
in England, created great sensa-
ton at the nations capital. The
wife of Martin Van Buren, Hannah
Hoes, lived but short time after
her marriage, dying about seven
teen years before her husbands
election to the Presidency. Presi-
dent Tyler's second wife was an ar
dent Roman Catholic, and Mrs.
Polk was a calm-mannered Presby-
terian. Mrs. Millard Fillmore had
been school teacher, and the court
ship was carried on under difficult
ties, as the lover could rarely afford
the expense of journey to see his
fiancee. Mrs. Franklin Pierce was
the devout daughter of clergy
man and made the White House
the center of charitable and religious
enterprises.-Detroit Free Press.

customs.-New York World.

Oysters On Trees.

Lyman Belding, the naturalist,
has returned from a long hunting
trip in the vicinity of Murphy's
Camp. Speaking about an article
which appeared in the Mail recently
concerning the CLAIMS of Halfmoon
bay, which live in rock, he said !:
"That's nothing! I've seen oysters
growing on trees. That is not an
uncommon sight in Lower Califor-
MIA around La Paz bay. A dwarf
tree called the Mangle tree grows
at the waters edge. The water is
always half a foot up on the trunk
and at high tide the tree Is covered.
Oysters grow on these trees, and
when the tide is out you can see
scores of them on the branchee.-

Last November a man named
William Airheart went with three
associates to seek his fortune in the
mountainous region of Southern
New Mexico, just north OF the
Texas line. In the course of their
explorations the party came upon
a cave in what is known as Ozark
Canyon. The place is destitute
of highways and apparently un-
known to any one except those re-
siding in the immediate neighbor-
hood.
In the cave was found a human

cousin of the Youngers, and so pos

"About fifteen years ago, when

left his home in Missouri and took
refuge in cave in the Guadaloupe
mountains in Southern New Mexi

family had raised, went with hin
