Hermit and Mine Owner.

Near the village Of Burlington, Mont, there
is a strange character who excites no end of
comment by his peculiar actions. He is the
owner and lessee Of a mine, the shaft of which
is about fifty feet in depth This strange midi
vidual works the mine all by himself and to the
people whom he meets he is an enigma. He
steadfastly refuses to be interviewed and &C
corGing to the later Mountain, although pros
pectors on neiRhboring mines have made re-
peated efforts to evep.get a sslutation from
him. they have signslIy failed.
Every morning, as regular as clockwork. he
descends into the Ipine by means of a ladder,
and remains there until evening. Occasionally
he is seen to hoist a bucket of waste, and it is
presumed that this action is made necessary by
the fact that he is driving q cross cut single
handed and alone, and gets cramped for want
of room
But the most peculiar thing 10 connection
with this singular man is his manner OF work
ing. Every two weeks he changes shifts anc
works during the night time'for two weeks, to
change at the end of that time to two weeks
day shift, Some OF the miners who were in
that locality believe that the man is an old
time miner who has become so accustomed TO
working two weeks night and two weeks day
that he cannot overcome the habit
How the old man manages TO exist is another
mystery. To the knowledge of his nsignbors
he has not shipped pound OF ore for many
months. Many of the miners believe that be is
working under some delusion, aud that be had
a dream in which he saw rich lodges Of high
grade ore underneath the surface of that par
ticilar spot.
His neighbors bope he will be successful, al.
though they are confident he ia far from the
lodges Of that particular locality.

A Big Money Eight

A big battle OF doodle is said to be i'm
pending. AS a matter of fact, the prelimi-
nary skirmlshing is going on now, and re-
ports Of occasional shots may be found in
the newspapers. The wholesale liquor deal
ers, of New York principally, are organic
ing against the great whisky trust They
have grown tired of the trusts dictatorship
and extortion, and mean to make an effort
to throw Off the yoke. This they propose
to accomplish by the erection Of several
large distIlleries in the west where corn is
cheap A fund of $500, 00G for the purpose
is said to have been collected already, and
the work OF erection will be begun at an
early date.
When actual work on the antitrust dis
tilleries is begun the hard fighting will be
begun also. To Offset the wholesale dealers
half-a-million fluid for defense it is said the
trust has laid aside fund OF ST ,o00, eco for
the attack The trust people, anticipating
trouble, went to work years ago to provide
against time when the Binews OF war
would be needed and the big fund re-
ferred TO is the result Nor have they
stopped adding to it. Although the trust
is at present making clear profit of s. ,O00,-
600 mouth, according to Boston dis
patch, no dividends are being declared, all
the money going into the fighting fund.
In a money fight Of the kind anticipated
there would be unlimited corruption aud
maybe a little dynamite. 1t will be re-
membered that in the trusts fight against
the Shufeldt distil!ery not long ago tho
trust was charged with having hired man
TO destroy the plant with an explosive, and
that an explosion and fire actually &C.
Cured. Meantime, whatever might be the
outcome of the contest, consumers would
hardly be- benefited. Each party 60 the
prospective fight Is into it for profit, not to
reduce prices.

One Of the most pathetic incidents OF the
past week occurred in New York city. A
young mother left her baby boy asleep in a
carriage while she went down two flights
of stairs TO answer call at the door. She
was not gone longer than FIVE minutes, but
when abe returned she found her baby
hanging from the carriage dead with the
buckle strap tangled about fits neck The
distracted mother. in a paroxysm Of grief
threw herself down the elevator shaft,
breaking one arm, one Leg and three ribs in
the fall. She was immediately arrested on
the charge OF having violated the snicide
lew. But when the circumstances became
known che case was dismissed.

A Gigantic schsme.

Now Workers must get along without
underground rapid transit for awhile longer
and hang TO the straps and seats Of surface
and elevated road cars. Jay Gould is dead,
so the Manhattan Elevated did not buy the
underground franchise. as it might have
done had that extraordinary fnancier lived
a little longer. He was one of the few men
with nerve enough to take the lead
In scheme requiring total out
lay Of probably 500 900, COO, as has
been estimated will be necessary to
follow out the plans approved by the rapid
transit commission.
II was said not long ago that there were
at least three syndicntes. with practically
unlimited resources. In the field to contest
for the franchise, but when the time of the
auction came around there was but one bid.
IL seems that the tale of the three great
syndicates was but variation Of the tale of
the three black crows, Talking of such
fabulous sums of money as hundreds OF
millions was easy; so also was the feat Of
building the great tunnsls-on paper. But
when it came to making bids in good faith,
depositing 10 per cent. OF the purchase price
OF the franchise, together with the further
deposit within FIVE days Of $1,000 900
security, and the payment within thirty
days of the cost of survey, $4,000. and the
expenses and fees of the commissioners,
S25. 000-when IL came to doing these
things, that was "a gray horse OF another
color, and the syndicates were noticeable
for their absence.
This rapid transit scheme is one Of the
greatest undertakings of modern civil engi-
ueerIng. The building OF the elevated roads
was an easy job as compared with the build
ing of the subterranesn roads The Brook
Ign bridge, the Niagara Falls water-power
tunnels and Wheels and the New York I'M
dergrouud rapid transit system when it is
sccomplished) will rank together. In the
matter OF money this last great enterprise
will, like Katishs's tooth, almost stand
alone 1t is a gigantic scheme, and It is
no wonder that there were not other bid
ders for the franchise.

A Scheme to Assist Republicans
F.on. the BROOKLYN Eagle tpemA,


The stupidity or dissugenuousness Of the
recent Peoples partyl manifesto is obvious
On the political issue of chief consequence. the
issue which induced SO many western states to
declare against the Republican party, the issue
OF a low tariff. the populists and the democr ats
are in full accord. The only way in which the
practical benefits Of the triumph can be realized
is to deprive the republicans OF their present
control of the Senate, and that can be. accom-
plished only by fusion. Mr.. Tsubeneck, there
fore, urgently calls upon the populist legislators
not TO fuse, and he does it with an amount Of
HIS real motive

1t will take from now until next Christ
mas for the once pretty squares about the
city to recover from the ill-treatment they
have received during the past two weeks.
Ho!ss have been dug in them, young pal
metto trees ruined, tree boxes overturned
and smashed and other nets of vandalism
perpetrated that should never have been
permitted. If the boys are to be allowed to
build bontires in the squares on holiday oc-
casions q policeman should be placed in
each square during such time to see that
everything goes on right, and at the end Of
a stated period the fires should be put out
and kept out.
