Miss KITTY c. WILKINS, w no is admir-

as horse queen of Idaho, has at pres
ent about three thousand horses on
her range, including Hambletonians,
Clydes, French drafts and others. She
has also about two thousand head of

An unmarried woman possessed of
considerable wealth, who died recent
ly in a town in Pennsylvania, was
buried in grave that was dug nine
teen years ago. Her father was buried
in it originally, and after two years
his body was cxhu1ned and placed in q
vault. 1t was a principle Of the fami-
ly never to spend money uselessly, and
the daughter, realizing that she would
need the grave some time, decided that
filing up the grave would be a waste
of good money, and ordered that it be
kept open for her. When the not-too-
long-delayed day came (she Awas then
eighty-one years of age), the grave
was found to be half dozen inches
too short. It was heightened and the
interment made.

JAMES ROBINSON, who now lives at
Cincinnati, is probably the Oldest sur
vivor of the old-time circus. He is over
eighty-two years of age, and was act
lively engaged in the business from his
boyhood up to just before the war.
He says that in those days the regular
charges in the south were twenty-five
cents for whites and thirty-seven and
one-haf cents for slaves Spanish
coins were plentiful and dollar could
be split up in nearly any way desired.
The slaves were charged the higher
price in order to, in certain measure,
restrict their patronage.

SOME uneasiness is felt in Indian ter
ritory over the attempt now being
made by The United States to remove
the so-caued intruders. The govern
ment has bad job on it's hands and
may require troops to eject the in
truders. The intruders number about
twenty-five thousand, and compose the
most thrifty population in the nation.
They say they will fight before they
will allow the government to sell their
homes and drive them out Of the coun-
try. They are class Of people who
have been coming into the nation and
fencing up the Indian land, when they
had no right to do SO. 1t is said that
statehood is the only remedy that will
guarantee protection to the Indians
against this class Of people.

ACCORDING to a recent writer, it is
impossible to give any close figures on
the number Of persons who have lived
on this earth. 1t is generally consid-
cred that one person in every thirteen
dies each year. At this rate the popu-
lation would be renewed every thir-
teen years. Assuming that the popu-
lation Of the world is / 1000, 900, 900, and
that it has been 1000, 100000 at cny
time during the last 5000 years, we
find that the population has been re-
newcd about 461 times; that is, that
462, O0O, 900, coo have lived on this earth
since its creation. This, of course, is
vastly in excess Of the real number, for
the world, SO far as we can tell, is
more thickly populated now than ever
before. Probably if we were to cut
those figures in two VIC should still be
above the actual number, with total
of oS1, OOO, 900, 600 persons

The Treatment of Cholera.

A medical journal considers that it is
quite an open question whether or not
any form of treatment is OF service in
cholera cases, though many are
adopted. One thing seems certain,
namely, that the old-fashioned calomel
and opium treatment, as indeed all
indications administered via the
stomach, are useless, If not positively
injurious. Pending the discovery of a
sure and safe means of providing i'm
munity, there is consequently plenty
of scope for innovators in the domain
of practical therapeutics. DR.. Lauder
BruRton has communicated to the
Royal Medical and Chirurgical society
some interesting observations on the
use of atropinc in the treatment of GER
tain forms of cholera, which are worthy
of more than passing notice. DR.. Brun-
ton is of the opinion that there is more
than one form, of the malady, and
there can be but little doubt that un-
der this name are included a number
of affections associated with diarrhea
presenting great pathological and etio-
logical differences. The effects of afro
pine arc directed mainly, if not exclu-
sively, to the circulatory embarrass-
ment following on intense vomiting
and diarrhea from whatever cause.
The drug does not prevent the exhaust
ing discharge from the intestinal canal,
so that in typhoid cases of cholera, it
is doubtful whether it would be avail
able. On the other hand, the evidence
appears to Justify the hope that afro
pine may be found Of great service in
conditions of circulatory collapse from
other causes, as, for instance, in the
summer diarrhea of infants, or the
diarriea met with in association with
divers other maladies.

lost one of her thousand dollar diamond
earrings. There was much weeping

to the millinery firm that the bonnet

mond entangled in the lace trimmings.
She concluded her letter by saying
she was anxious to return the diamond
to it's owner. Honesty such as this is

were heated and in that condition he

them hot" That settled it. The run
was stopped.

About $4,000 Of Them Return to
Work In England
AT THE OLD RATE OF WAGES.
The Great Strike Begun Last July
Against n Reduction In Prices. and
Ends In . Virtual Surrender OF the
Mine Owners and tho Bosses.

LONDON, Oct. 10. Dispatches have been
received here reporting the resumption OF
work in many Of the coal districts. It is
estimated that 30, 900 men went back to
work to-day at the old rate Of wages.
The great strike that began on July %
is now practically over, and it looks as
though the men had forced the masters to
agree to their terms.
The strike grew out of the action of the
masters in deciding to reduce wages 20 per
cent. The men refused to accept any re-
duction or to arbitrste the dispute. They,
or at least about 90, 600 of them, go back
to work on the terms they held out for.
Although a majority Of the owners Of
collieries In Dcrbyshire who adhere to the
federation of coal mine owners are posting
notices in accordance with the terms Of
the resolution adopted on Tuesday at the
conference in Sheffield, several of them
have reopened their pits, and miners have
gone back to work at the old rate Of wages.
Nine thousand men resumed their work
this morning in Derbyshire.
The resolution referred to declared that
the mine owners were DESTROYS of termi-
mating the distress arising from the strike
In the coal districts and of breaking the
deadlock in trade, and were therefore will
ing to reopen their pits for the present at
n reduction OF 10 per cent. in wages,
though they reiterated their claim that the
state Of trade warranted a 20 per cent. re-
duction. The fact that nine thousand OF
the men have gone back to work at the
wages paid before the strike, Is somewhat
in the nature Of a victory for the men.
Fully twenty thousand miners are now
at work in Nottinghamshire and Warwick
shire, and it may be said that the situation
In the coal districts there has virtually as
sumed its normal condition.
The West Riding OF Yorkshire will M.
parently have to pay dearly for the strike
In that section. This part OF Yorkshire
was the scene Of several riots during the
progress OF the strike, and considerable
property was burned or otherwise destroy
ed or damaged. Those who suffered losses
In this manner intend to hold the officials
responsible.
