MINING FOR HiDDENITE.
A Gem Accidentally Discovered That Is
as Valuable as the Diamond.

as Valuable as the Diamond.
Some years ago Edison, the cleo
trio wizard, was convinced that plati-
mum existed in North Carolina. He
sent William Earl Hidden, an accom-
plished mineralogist, in search of it.
Mr.. Hidden little knew at the time
how full of results to him that pur-
suit of platinum would be. He could
not find the desired mineral, but he
found something far better.
At Alexander county, quiet part
of the state many miles from a rail
way, he was directed by Mr.. J. A.
d. Stephenson to gem bearing
ground, and looking a little more
narrowly found some of the gems.
He purchased some land, returned
to Edison, reported his vain quest of
platinum, then went back to North
Carolina He at once began to de-
velop the mine. Sinking shaft in
a simple way, he gradually made the
opening larger and larger until SUI
perfcially the mine presented the as
pect of stone quarry. Out of this
rude pit in the earth were taken un-
numbered gems, one hitherto I'M
known.
To this Mr.. j. Lawrence Smith of
st. Louis, an eminent scientist, gave
Hidden's name, and ''hiddenite,"
the equivalent of the diamond in
value, became instantly the fashion.
It's tender tinted green crystals, it's
intense hardness and it's new beau
ties when cut were only some of it's
charms. From the day of its dis
covery to the present it has been a
hopeless task to supply the demand
for it. Every hiddenite found is
purchased long in advance.
But strange as is this flashing
green miracle of the earth the place
OF its birth is yet stranger. The la
borers who are working in the mine
handle their picks with the greatest
care. They are on the watch for
pockets. Possibly for an hour the
digging goes on, and no pocket" is
struck. Presently the pick goes into
an opening, with careful fingers the
earth is partially removed, and final
ly the miner feels with his hands
every portion of the walls of the
opening. 1t may happen that his
search is in vain, but it is oftener
the case that his fingers touch little
crystals that are so imbedded in the
sides of the pocket that their points
alone project outward. They are
carefully picked out Perhaps all
are beryls, perhaps there are dozen
kinds of gems, or it may be that
there ere only hiddenites. Some
times gems worth hundreds of dol
lars are thus taken from one pocket.
Great Divide.

Ottawa Journal.

Ottawa Journal.
Dave Ovefmyer is fine specimen
to go Washington and pose as a
good Democrat and cry anarchy
against the Populists. Let's see.
In 1872, he was Republican prohibit
zionist, and made speeches for st
John. In 'S4, he made Republican
ratification speech for Blaine. In
's6, he Topped and became a Repub-
lican re-submissionist. In '88, he
Topped still farther, and ran as a
Democrat for congress. In 'S9, he
was regarded as an anarchist. His
speech on Sept. 2, of that year, is
regal ded as the most anarcbistic
ebulition ever heard in this state.
His denunciation of courts and ju-
ries was hair-lifting. And now this
fellow has gone to Washington to
tell what a rock-ribbed Democrat
and good citizen he is, and what an
awfully bad lot the Populists are
Whether the Populists are anarchists
or not, Dave Overmyer is the last

should be forced to have it done.
In view of the inhuman treatment
he received at the hands of the
brute, Curby, Ottawa and Franklin
county cannot afford to let it pass,
and the city council should repeal
the devil law" which declares a
man without money a vagrant.
Poverty is not q crime. Ottawa is
breeding anarchists by just such
treatment of the poor.

THERE is madness in the method
now prevailing with corporations in
their dealings with labor that will
certainly bear for tile capitalists a
fearful reckoning. So rapidly does
one outrage, secured by the paid
tool of Judge, follow another from
some other kindred court, that ev-
erywhere the people are stirring.
In alarm, they are asking where this
thing is going to end. If ballots
and the few honest judges can't, or
don't, soon end it, then, a little later,
bullets will. Take up all the late
rulings of the courts, and see how
rapidly this one-man-made system of
laws is divesting US Of the little re-
naming liberty. A few more turns
of the thumb screws, few more
applications of the iron boots, and
the thing is accomplished. Will the
people suffer it to be done?

AS WE take a look over the polit-

The New York Advertiser call at
tention to the fact that although the
price Of -four has been for many
years tending downward and is now
lower than ever before, "superfine"
being in fact quoted at So a barrelin
that city, and some grades at $3.50,
the price of bread has not changed
in 20 years. The conclusion OF the
Advertiser is that the master bakers
are making great deal too much
money. Somebody may say, why
do not people bake their own bread!
But that is a lost art among the
masses in the big cities. They have
not the room nor the facilities for it.
Home made bread is luxury for the
we'll. TO- do in the cities. The masses
buy their bread, and the bakers in
New York turn out 75V,OUU POUNDS
of bread every day Of the week, ex-
cept Sunday. There are $500 ba-
kers' establishments in New York,
but they know too much to compete.
They combine in keeping the price
of bread where it is, and they have
no notion, either, Of sharing their
profits with their employees, who
indeed are among the hardest work
ed of toilers. What is the matter
with municipal bakeries to furnish
bread at cost and provide employ
ment on humane conditions to jour
neyman bakers T? The price of bread
will never be reduced in any other
way.-New Nation.

ON the title page OF Our Dumb

gestive cartoon. In the back
ground are three large manufactur-
ing establishments wrapped in
flames. Around them is stoekade,
on the top of which armed sentinels
are placed. Immediately in front of
the buildings, in battle array, is an
army. In the foreground lies
slain workman, over whom crouches,
with countenances terrorized, a wo-
man and two children, while be-
tween this group and the soldiers
lie other dead, with the ground
thickly strewn with the tools Of
their handicraft. Silently it tells its
own story: The triumph of might
over right-of despotism over just
ice. Beneath the whole is this
legend: "Shall it be this ?-or hu-
name education for the rich and

the signs were that it would "be
