"'Cases pending. ," said gentleman

tlemen as they sat watching the smoke
form the Havanas curl upward IN

Not one knew, and he continued:
Centuries ago in Germany, when
people were just beginning to seek re-
dress at law, the courts had not the in
tricate machinery and manner of keep
ing records they now have. Still the
cases multiplied, and they used to write
them down ON sheet Of paper These
in time accumulated, SO they stuck them
ON a long wire which hung over the
judges table. They used to take them
off at the bottom Of the pile, while the
clerk always put the fresh ones ON the
top.
''Then there was always pile OF
cases hanging over the judges table,

A Ticket Chopper Who Is Saving Money In
Phenomenal Fashion.


Phenomenal Fashion.
There are some men with whom thrift
and miserliness are synonymous, but the
humble hero of this tale can scarcely be
called even penurious, despite the fact
that in 10 years, out of Q salary Of
$40. 80 week, he has accumulated over
SO, 900, all of which is drawing at least
per cent interest.
When the ''L'' roads were completed
and the ticket chopping machines placed
in position. he of whom this Is written
received charge of one at an up town
station during the night hours. Since
the day he went ON his post. he has new

week and so weeks each year has he
continuously worked the handle Of his
machine up and down, receiving there
for the munificent sum Of 81. so day.
Out of this he has by rigid economy laid

A dispatch from Durango, Mexico,
dated the 22d ult., gives the following
account Of the kidnapping Of an Ameri-
can girl: The project Of Concordia and
q party Of rural guards are in close pur-
suit OF the bold trio OF Mexicans who
kidnapped Miss Charlotte Newman, a
pretty American gir,, a few DAYS ago,
Miss Newman lived ut Mazatlan with
her mother, who is highly respected
She was on her way by stage from Aguas
Calientes to Mszatlan, when the driver
suddenly reined up at a call from the
roadside, where tour men on horseback
sat coolly pointing revolvers at his head.
There WAS no demand for coin, and from
the quiet manners Of the highwaymen
the driver could draw no idea OF the ma.
ture Of their demands. While one man
held gun on the driver and attended to
the horses, the other two dismounted
ami stepped to the end Of the coach and
courteousiy requested the young lady to
come out. The frightened girl recognized
the larger man, magnificent looking
fellow, as Jose Valdez, her rejected lover,
and divining the plot, che begged the
passengers to save her. Valdez warned
them to do nothing and as they had no
firearms they dared not protest against
the actions OF the bold robbers After
urging Miss Newman 10 come out with
out avail, Valdez and his companions
laid hold Of her and carried her to the
horses, placing her upon one, tying her
to the saddle and lead the horse into the
mountains. The Mexican authorities
we're at once notified Of the kidnapping
of the young lady.

DEAR SIR Yours OF the 2ls, OF De.
cember received, Profanity 10 not to
be commended, and doubtless as rule
is in bad taste, though there may be
cases where it is perhaps excusable.
The word "hell'' is not necessarily
profane. 1t Is not considered allow
able in polite society, aud has been ex-
eluded. an informed, from the modern
versions Of the Scripture, but it hardly
comes within the prohibitions OF the
Decalogue. Christ himself was so out
ragged by the deeds OF the usurers
and extortioners of HIS day, who don't
deserve to be mentioned for iniquity and
blasphemy Of all that is holy, with that
class in these days, that even He, the
most gentle and meek of all creation, was
provoked to say to them: 30, We genera
alton of serpents how can ye escape the
damnation OF hell?"
II grieves me to learn that you are
troubled on account OF what you con.
sidered my profanity. Permit me to ask
II your sleep is disturbed any on account
of the servant girls and industrious poor
who have lost their little all by deposit
ing in the savings bank OF the city?
Or those who have been sold out OF all
they possess by the chattel mortgage
fiends, or the starving poor OF Denver,
who almost daily seek refuge in suicide
Or are these matters OF go little impor-
tance that they vex not your righteous
soul? We read in the scriptures OF those
who are clean outwardly like an artistic
sepulcher, but within are full of all
manner OF rottenness and dead mems
bones. Very respectfully yours,

Jas McGee, Quinn and A Barker, left
this city about month ago OH pros.
pecting trip They headed towards the
Harqna Hala mountains and, in the
neigh borhood OF The Vulture, ran upon
a body of ore in a ledge form that is a
big thing in magnitude il not in value.
McGee and Quinn are well known miners
and prospectors and from the satisfied
way in which they discuss their find it
can safely he recorded that they have
struck it. The find lie situated in the
range OF mountains that runs Iateraly in
broken spurs between The Harqna Halas
proper and the Vulture district. This Is
region that virtually has never been
explored, the country rock being trachy-
tic tmai pai.) But the discovery as relat
ed by Pat Quinn, was more OF an acci-
dent than research. As usual. burro
cuts figure; he was lost and Pat was on
his trail hunting him. He, Pat, ran foul
OF float, which on being spooned
showed glittering gold. After two days
search the ore body was found from
which the float had drf'ed. The ledge
il not less than twenty feet TIE ore is

For several weeks, says the New Or.
leans States, the republican papers with
tears in their eyes have been calling at
tention to the thousands OF UNEMPLOYED
men in Chicago and declaring that the
democratic party is responsible for the
suffering an distress. 1t has inst trans.
pred, however, that the majority Of un-
employed are tramps and bummers who
do not want work and have gathered at
Chicago because they heard that funds
had been raised to provide the deserving
poor with TODD and shelter. The most
prominent and best known labor agent
in Chicago in an interview with the
Herald declares that never before has he
known applicants for work to be so few.
He has received orders for men to work
on railroad construction, but despite the
tact that he has advertised for laborers
he cannot supply the demand of con-
tractors who are offering good wages.
The people Of Chicago now realize that
the fund for free food and free lodging
was mistake, and has made their city
an asylum for loafers and tramps
