1t was lunch time. l strolled into one
of the restaurants in the neighborhood of
Twenty third street frequented mostly by
women, and it was crowded. Every chair
was occupied with either a person or a
bundle. Finally, after moving what had
been large part of the stock of some dry
goods house, one of the walters succeeded
in clearing space enough at one of the ia
bles for me to edge myself in.
There were two women already seated
at the table, and they looked daggers at
me for thus intruding myself upon their
privacy. Finally they were ready to go.
One paid the check with the exact money
and the waiter took it to the cashier. She
produced dime from her pocketbook and
laid it on the table, remarking at the same
time that it was for car fare. The two
then began to gather up their bundles.
The waiter returned, saw the dime, picked
1t up and put it in his pocket, evidently
thinking it was his tip.
The elder and more worldly wise turned
lust in time to observe him slowing it
away in his vest pocket. She glanced over
the table. The money was gone. Then
she bestowed her sweetest smile upon the
waiter. He nodded his thanks, and the
pair of pretty women swept out of the
place. The waiter saw my smile, and CON-
ing quite close said: .
'Thats the way we have TO do it, sir.

would never get it. New York Herald.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The custom of
receiving friends formally on the list of
January survives only in Washington.
The official reception is still one of the
great events of the year at the capital. 1t
is the first of the official receptions held at
the presidents mansion, and it is the only
one at which the public and the office
holders mingle freely. Nothing more dem
ocratic than the New Years reception at
the White House is known even in the
democratic United States On the first
day of the year statesmen, diplomats and
reverend judges rub elbows with the pub
lie, but not with the great unwashed
public. A clean face and hands and tidy
costume are the only passports required at
the gates of the White House grounds.
Carriages begin to fly about at an early
hour. Men in the uniform of army or
navy are seen hurrying from place to
place, many of them awkward in the I'M
familiar garments, for uniforms are little
worn in Washington, though they are an
invariable feature of every story or play
which is supposed to illustrate Washing
ton life.
At the White House the police have
taken charge early in the day. The grounds
have been closed to all but those who have
business in the mansion putting the last
touches to the decorations. The president s
lighthouses have not sufficed to provide the

the number of trips that had to be made

deep mine. The sheave is an iron
wheel, trimmed, hung directly over the
shaft, and from 80 to so feet above it.
The engine is generally set from so to 80
feet away from the shaft, and the cable
which is composed of steel wire ropes,
half an inch in diameter, and seven to
eleven of them placed side by side and
woven together, and is therefore fat, is
taken from the drum over the sheave
and down to the cage. An indicator on
the drum perpetually tells the engineer
at what point in the mine the cages are,
and it seems that accidents could not
occur. Yet carelessness or wrong read
ing of the indicator sometimes sends the
cages into the sheaves travelling at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour, and usu-
ally killing most of those on them.

immense amount of work done by the
elevators in the chamber of commerce
building, and gave the number handled
by the one most used at about $500 per
day. Beside the showing made in some
of the deep mines of the Comstock, the
elevators spoken of are ''not in it.''
The Consolidated Virginia and Califor-
mia mines were worked through COM

into three com partments and the cages,
which are simply iron frames with a
wooden floor and an iron bonnet, or in
other words elevator, were about three
and half feet by four and half feet.
Two of the compartments run cages
with two floors, or double deckers, and
the other cage was three decker. The
main ore body of these mines lay be-
tween the 400 and 700 feet levels, SO
that the average lift was l 800 feet, as

word Successful" This news estab-

Deep Waterway Association Offic ais APP
prove Canal Commissioners.
TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 6.-The an
nouncement made in Washington that
President Cleveland had appointed three
commissioners to confer with similar
number from Canada on the subject of
deep waterways, has revived local inter-
est in the work of the Deep Waterway
association, which was originally
formed in this city in the summer
of 1894, and whose recent convention
in Cleveland did much to further
its objects. Mr.. Rowland, presi-
dent of the Deep Waterways associa-
ton, says the American commissioners
would prove admirably suited for this
work. He was especially pleased at the
nomination of Cooley, who he said is an
engineer of great ability. He said this
was the beginning of most important
work. Nothing is so far known as to
whom the Canadian government will
put upon the commission but it is ex-
pected that the gentlemen elected will
be Mr.. Rowland, one of the govern
ment's chief engineers, and some one
other whose name has notyet been men-
toned.
