INGERSOLL NOT YET CONVERTED.
He says Christian Endeavor Prayers
Have Had No Effect.


New York. Dec. li.-Col. Robert u. In
gersoll found a heavy mail from the Chris
tian EndeaVorers who have been praying
for him in convention when he returned
home from his Western trip. and he said;
mo, have not been converted by their
prayers. am glad 10 say. and there is no
occasion for taking a before and after
picture of me. | want TO finish my days
without the consolation of hell
Did it annoy you to have the Endeav-
orers take such a public interest In your
conversion"
Dear me, no." said the colonel: they
meant it kindly, and for my good. The
only difference of opinion that we have is
that l believe this world is natural and
they believe that ii is supernatural, some
thing that was constructed by sleisht-of-
hand by some one up in the clouds. That
is ALL
But what if you should be converted?"
suggested the reporter.
That would be a dreadful misfortune.
and should be unhappy all the rest If my
life
IF you had absolute faith in the Chris
tian religion would il make you unhappy"
1T certainly would. How could 1t be
otherwise? A man of intelligence who is
Christian and who has Imagination could
not help but be unhappy. Just think OF
the hell II holds out. If he is a Christian
he must believe thU the people whom he
knows and loves on earth are to he separ-
ated in death, and some are TO go 10 hell
and some to heaven. and they are to stay
there forever. 1t would make me very I'M
happy to believe that"
Admitting the truth OF the Christian re-
llgion. would not you wish 10 be con-
verted?'

Col Ingersoll had not had time 10 read
all Of the hundred or more letters that
were waiting for him. and two or three
that he had opened struck him as being
very foolish. one writer made a violent
attack upon the colonel and another wrote
in a kindly argumentstive way. Neither
produced any effect. however.

say that some of the miners did and the
result was they struck il rich. There was
no need for any man TO leave this camp
this summer without some gold dust in his
pocket if he wanted TO work. There were
lots of men in here this spring who would
neither work nor prospect, and the result
was all they could do was to run the
country down.
The schooner Alice. of Seattle. got to
the mines about July 20. with a party of
six on board. The party leased a piece Of
ground on Bear creek and went to work on
IL. About a week after, while the party
at work Bear creek, the captain
Of the schooner skipped out of the coun-
try and took the party's winter supply of
provisions with him. so of course the party
had TO handle the pick and shovel in great
style in order 10 get a grubstake for win
ter. Two OF the party took out enough
OF gold dust in one month to take them
to San Francisco with some gold dust IN
their pockets; besides, another one did the
same and went to Seattle. while the re-
mainder stayed behind and took out a
good grubstake for winter. Not only that
but they got out good claims TO open up in
the spring on Canyon creek. where the
rich md was made this fall.
so il only goes 10 prove that there is
no need Of any one 70 get stranded in far
away Alaska. but must say If ii had
not been for the PUCK and grit of the
crew of the schooner Elwood, C5ptS. wy
man and Johnson. of Sea tile coming here
with provisions, as they did. right into
camp on October n 1895. il would have
gone pretty hard with some of the men
that wanted 10 winter here. Mr.. John
son told us this morning that all the men
he dealt with up here had the gold dust 10
buy what they wanted.
"A few more words To say that the min
ers are not along the shore of the inlet,
but AZ the head of the inlet, in Turnagain
Arm. where the Elwood is now lying. The
weather is fine up here at time of writing
and the miners could stli be working.
There are about seventy men who are go
ing 10 winter up here They are all con-
tented. and expect to pass a pleasant win
ter. The largest nugget that was taken
ont here this summer is valued at A2.S7.

THE WATERBURY COURT HOUSE.
 If, as has been reported, the Meriden
 court house scheme was invented for
 the purpose of preventing Waterbury
 from having a court house it deserves
 to fall. And whether 1t was or not
 the appeal to the leglslatu ture made by those interested in the Waterbury court
 house matter is an entirely reasonable one. The inconvenience and costliness of the present arrangement have been severely felt by those in Waterbury and its vicinity who have been obliged to come to New Haven to take part in legal work that could be much more expeditiously and economically done in Waterbury. Asd as the population of Waterbury and the region around it grows the awkwardness of the situation will grow unless something Is done to relieve 1t. Years ago there was legal business enough in and around Water bury to warrant the holding of terms of the Superior court there. and the arr rargemert then made was fair Now there is much more business than there was then and court can no longer be held there because there is no suitable place to hold it in. There should be- New Haven county, which is the prin- cipal county of the State, and has one- third of the population of the State shouldn't be behind New London and Fairfield counties in the matter of court accommodations. And 1t shouldn't | be behind any county in fair and equit- able dealing.

MAN IS STILL MORTAL.

What is to be done? It has been found
 that blue glass will not give immortal
 life on this earth It has been found
 that Dr. Brown-Sequard' elixir of per petual youth will not stay the progress of old age. And it has been found that the marvellous tuberculin of Dr. Koch has killed more than it has cured. Anti toxin hasn't had an exhaustive trial yet, but there is already a good deal of doubt about it. Distinguished Euro pean physicians are finding serious drawbacks to it's use. The matter was carefully discussed by the Vienna Medi- cal society the other day. Professor Drasche's criticism was unfavorable to the new method, owing to the effects which he had observed in thirty cases. He found that injections of Behring's anti-toxin serum affected the kidneys seriously. This observation was cor robol ated by other doctors. They said ll-e1N III lilC pl cfoGilCG Ol lIlIS IdCI could no longer be believed that the injection had no injurious effects. It could not be matter of indifference that a pa- tient who was recovering from dan gerous illness should be subjected, through this remedy, to further se- rious malady Up to the present time, for observations have been much too short to permit final decision as to the value of the treatment, it is clear that its application should be limited. With regard to the statistics which were supposed to prove it's success, Profes sor Drasche said that, in diphtheria, bare figures were no evidence.
 This is decidedly depressing. Mean while there doesn't appear to be any in the number or activity of the bacteria. Which way lies safety? In giving more power and more money to boards of health?

served some partially indistinct red
 marks of words traced out on the front
 of the note beside the lettering, and on
 the margin. Curiosity tempted him to
 try to deeipher the words so strangely inscribed. With great difficulty so faintly written were they, and so much obliterated, the words were found to form the following sentence: "If this note should fall into the hands of John Dean of Longhill, near Carlisle, he will learn hereby that his brother is lan- gushing a prisoner in Algiers." MT. Dean on being shown the note, lost no time in asking the government of the day to make intercession for his broth CTS freedom. It appeared that for eleven long years the latter had been a slave to the dey of Algiers, and that his family and relatives believed him to be dead. With piece of wood he had traced in his own blood on the bank note the message which was eventually to secure his release. The government aided the efforts of his brother to set him free, this being accomplished on payment of ransom to the dey.

4 BIT OF "LABOR,' LEGIsL ATToN
 "Labor" is slowly finding out that
 some things cannot be done by law.
 and it is also slowly finding out that some of its pretended friends are its
 worst enemies. Last year the working men of New York were vociferously de- handing that all stone for State or mu- nicipal work be cut and dressed within the State or municipality. The law was passed upon the theory that it was to be an aid to laiborers Now it is openly charged that the legislation was really intended to promote asphalt pavements in the city of New York. As matter of fact paving with granite blocks prac- tically ceased after the passage of the act, as the cost was nearly doubled; and payers and all others formerly employed in putting down stone pave- ments were thrown out of work. Tn municipal buildings cut stone was avoided wherever brick would answer, and the whole body of stone workers suffered.
 The law was passed in 1894, and 1t is estimated that the total loss to the laboring men in New England quarries and in New York by reason of its pro- visions is $2,O0O 900. About 2,500 men in New York and 1000 in New England were affected by the lemagogic legisla- tion. The payers. and associated work CTS have denounced the law and de- manded that it be wiped out. The curb settlers of New York have declared that "in their opinion, the law was framed and passed to cover a scheme of pillage. which, if not guarded against, would defraud the city treasury of millions and enrich it's promoters and abettors with the result of public robbery and the adoption of asphalt instead of gran ite paving" And they demand an in- vestigation of asphalt paving contracts.
 The New York rapid transit commits sioners have asked the legislature to re- peal the law. The use of cut stone in the structures required for a rapid transit

rents believe that their daughters
 should reach the seventeenth or eigh-
 teenth year before beginning vocal
 studies, and any teacher will tell you
 that male pupil who has not passed
 his twenty-first year is an exception. | The fear of straining the voice by train
 ing it too early seems universal; but it is matter for grave consideration whether even greater risks may not De run in neglecting to train 1t Tn tlme l Talent for music Is almost lnVarlaply demonstrated during childhood Those who have voices usually begin to sing
 when they are children-sometimes as
 soon as they can talk, The gift IS con sidered a wholly natural development, and the little one is left to warble its
 songs as it pleases. While one child IS
 being carefully instructed in the rudl-
 ments of harmony, with a view to sup
 sequent piano lessons-while she Is
 taught how to sit at her instrument
 hold her hands, practice finger exef-
 cises, and in short is thoroughly drilled
 year after year in all that may estap-
 fish a foundation of correct method
 her little sister or brother with a voice
 is left entirely to nature, who, alas! or
 ten proves herself most inefficient mu- sic mistress. Most children labor from the first under congenital defects, and those who are fortunate enough to es- cape frequently absorb the defects or those with whom they are constantly brought in contact.
 With the exception of some eXtraor- dinary temperam ents, esthetic feeling in any marked degree is purely ques- ton of cultivation. A child with sen sitive musical ear but a healthy normal physique shrinks from discordant note, but initiates unconsciously ugly pronunciation, throaty or nasal delive- ry. and indistinct enuneiation-tricks which will send her later on to the throat specialist, or assuredly cause her and her teacher many palntul ana weary hour.
 Tn America, where the voices are beautiful in timber and possess reso- nant power, we are peculiarly afflicted with defects of utterance. Words are swallowed, jerked out, and carelessly run together in most unsingable fash ion; the national habit of leaving the lips stiff and half closed While speaking rapidly, causes overwhelming difficult ties to the vocalist who attempts to sing in a foreign tongue. How many children hear all about the errors which they cannot fail to carry into their songs One listens to a choir of boys, and the tones are enchanting in their clear purity; but when the solo comes, one can scarce endure the mumbled which leave us to guess at the meaning of the familiar anthem. The breath is taken in the middle of a word, | the voice is badly placed, every possible | rule is broken, and 1t is evident that no | vocal chords can stand the strain | placed upon them by faults which | should have been uprooted before talk ing such deep and injurious hold. Is it not wise to guide by course of valuable instruction the children who possess singing voices?
