was once a center for prospectors about Gothic mountain. I believe that only one family now resides within it's cor porate limits. Occasionally in sum- mer a prospector or miner goes up the old trail to the camp to do little as- sessment work or look after a. patented claim which the owner hopes may some day become valuable, but it will be many year before the town of Gothic gets a postoffice or shows any symp toms of life. I presume in the two towns I have mentioned over $3,000,000 changed hands during the few years of excitement
 "Billerton, over toward the Contin- ental divide, near where the South park crosses through Alpine pass, was an- other great center in those days. We used to hear of the murders there nearly every week. It was stage station first for the crowds who were racing into the Gunnison country and afterwards a shipping point for mines up in the Tin Cup district. Billerton had a newspaper, two smelters, vari- ety theatres and business houses for outfitting prospectors and tourists. The Tin Cup district was so named because of the rumor that a miner had washed out s100 in gold with tin drinking cup. Following that idea the mines were named Gold Cup, Silver Cup, Copper Cup, Little Gold Cup Iron Cup, Stirrup Cup and every other kind of cup. Bil- lerton had once great Fourth of July celebration with fireworks shipped from Chicago. To-day you would have hard work finding even the remains of the town.
 Once the Mary Murphy mine, near Hortense, on the eastern side of the pass, was famous all over the state for it's rich output. Pat Murphy of St. Louis was the owner, and for several years he was great gun in that part the east, and was said to have obtained fabulous returns. Some hot springs were discovered near Hortense which were believed to be of great medicinal value. An enterprising Yankee built near the springs a magnificent hotel supplied with all the modern improve ments and capable of accommodating q hundred guests. He thought that as a summer resort and sanitarium that place would eclipse all others. guess the bears and wildcats are the only living creatures that ever see the hotel now. I don't believe human being has set eyes on 1t for years.

srTLL GOOD CORN JyEArHER.


 Once more, and perhaps for the last time this season, we congratulate ev- erybody on the continuance of good weather for corn. This has been a great month for corn. So great that it doesn't seem as if corn would need another month of such weather. If it does we hope it win be provided. There is now no doubt that this sum- mer has been specially designed for the benefit of corn, and if another month of corn weather is needed in order to fully round out the plan, let us have it. By and by, when the g. 500, 0,000,0 ,000 bushels or more are all rip ened and harvested we can feel that we have seen a glorious work, even if some of the golden product thereof is distorted into death-dealing whiskey.
 Of course it is hard for some to be reconciled to the fact that this weather which is so good for corn is not good for corns. But such people must culti- vate serenity, and if they cannot put their feet triumphantly on their woes they must patiently endure their woes on their feet, knowing that while they are suffering corn is rejoicing and way ing Annie dear.

PREPARED FOR DEATH.
1 Bought Widows Weed For His Wife and Burial Clothes for Himself.

fFrom the St. Louis-Globe Democrat A remarkable case of premonition of death was that of Frank G.. St.
 Louis business man, who was taken sick the early part of June, and whose case was so serious that his family had abandoned all hope of his recovery, and even the physician in charge had lost faith in the virtues of his medi- cines. Suddenly the patient rallied, and vigorous, and the supposedly dying man soon returned to business.
 The first thing that G. did on enter | ing his office after his recovery was to
 order the books balanced, paying all outstanding claims. Then, with sigh of relief, he said, That's finished" Next he proceeded to dry goods store,
 where he purchased a complete mourn | ing outfit for his wife, soon to be wid- ow Then hastening to clothiers, he purchased a suit of broadcloth for him. self, in which to be laid out.
 Ever considerate, his predominating | trait controlled him to the last, and his next visit was to the grocer's where he ordered a supply of provisions of all | kinds, sufficient for month, and then, his task being ended, he turned his steps homeward. Poor c. seemed to be moving and acting as in a dream, his faculties, rather his sensibilities, were stunned, and his purchases were made as though for another, and that other a stranger in whom he had no interest save one of business.
 When G. reached his house and 1 mounted the steps, before he could use the latch key the door was flung open and his white-faced wife met him with the startled exclamation, My God! Frank, what does this mean?" holding I in her arms her widows weeds, which had been delivered before he reached home. Putting his arms lovingly

around her waist and drawing her closely to him, he replied
 Tt means, dearest, that I am soon to leave you, within two days, and l wanted to save my wife any unneces- sary trouble, so ordered these things sent home to you"
 Then he told the heart-stricken wo- man what he had done, how everything was so arranged that when he passed away there would be nothing for her 1 to do; everything had been done, every step taken to make the blow little easier for her to bear. Saying he was tired and would lie down awhile, poor Frank, whose last thought was for the loved ones, went to bed, from whence he was lifted forty-eight hours later cold in death.
 Poor G.s premonition, came true, but he had the comfort of knowing that ere taking his departure he had done all in his power to shield his wife when he had gone, and taken the bitter sting from death itself

or the acton of the Central Associa- ton In resolving to obey the Sunday closing law. This action was taken in good faith" said MT. House. and here after the saloons of members of the as- sociation will be closed in accordance with the law as It now stands. This will be done, notwithstanding the fact that the members of the association, and a majority of the association, I am sure, consider the law oppressive. All we ask Is that the law shall be strict ly enforced in the case of offenders who are not members of the association"
 Thus passeth another glory. The Bridgeport liquor dealers were not tam CT on recent interesting occasion than are now their once great and powerful brethren of New York city The pres ident of the New York association de- clares that the liquor dealers must place themselves "in the category of citizens who respect the law, be it what it may, must comply with the law at present and assume their places in the commu- nifty as law-abiding citizens" and de- vote their energies to securing the en- actment of more liberal laws. This IS sensible talk, and very different from the talk that went on year ago among the leaders of the New York liquor deal

mef'S WhTte has given way to delicate tints of gray. The latter shade is bet ter in way, because white is popular with every summer, white gray has just enough distinctness to mark q dress as brand new. To-day's picture presents one of these jaunty gray mo- hairs, the full skirt being ornamented only with lines of stitching, which also appears at the edges of the jacket and at the wrists. The jacket opens over vest of white linen trimmed with
 lace to initiate yoke and centre pleat, and on either side of it are three loops of mohair held down by large silver buttons. The mohair stock collar has a. rolling top of black moire, and the same moire is used for the belt.

In talk with the secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-slavery soci- ety the other day, slatin Pasha said that the slave trade was more rampant now than ever in the Sudan, Whenever raid is made on any of the neighbor- ing tribes the Khalifa makes all the male prisoners into soldiers for his ar my; the women and children are sold within the province over which he rules
 No external slave trade is allowed, but a certain amount of smuggling is car ried on. There are many nearly white women held as slaves in the Sudan Gallas and others. The Khalifa's wives number nearly five hundred. Slatin Pa sha explained that when the Mahdi was dying he appointed three Khalifas, who were to succeed him in turn. The first who inherited the power is the present Khalifa, but though the others who were elected are still living the Khalifa is intriguing for the succession to pass over them and go to his own son. Sla- tin says that the power of the Khalifa is very much on the wane, and that the latter, like the original Mahdi, is likely to fall a victim to his own excesses.

4 GREAT CHANGE.

Who can tell what year will bring forth? A year ago the liquor dealers Of New York city appeared to be the pow CT behind the throne and occasionally they appeared to be the power on the throne. They paid little or no attention to the law concerning the sale of in toxicating liquor on Sunday. They de- fled the Roman Catholic Church when it declared itself in favor of temperance and regard for law. And they display ed such power and such resources as to almost discourage many who saw in them an apparently insuperable ob- stacle to good government, or, indeed, any government that they did not stand in with.' But there has been a most remarkable change. The reform police board has enforced the law against selling liquor on Sunday. And To and behold, it is seen that the liquor dealers of New York city are not really the government of the city. It has be come too hot for them.

Nature is finally helping California vineyardists. It is reported from many localities that the phylloxera, the most serious pest that has ever attacked the vines, is dying out. The experts have tried every remedy to stay the progress of this pest, but without avail, and six years ago the vineyardists of the Sono- ma and Napa Valleys ploughed up all their vines and replanted the ground with resistant stock. The experts be- lieved that all non-resistant vines were doomed to destruction by the phyllox- era. But reports have recently come to the State Inspector of Orchard Pests that a material falling off in the rav- ages of the pest has been noticed for

Two Grades of Garments With the Same
 Fault.
 The new silk petticoats for the com ing season rival even those of last year for elegance and elaborateness. Most of them are set with detachable ruff1es that may be sent to the cleaners with out the body of the skirt. This re- duces the expense somewhat, and in sures proper care to the lace, ribbon and frills of the ruff1e, but even so the heart of the average women sinks. Pettfcoats of percoline have the gleam and rustic of silk and more stiffness, besides they cost much less. To be sure, they are not as satisfactory after going to the washtub as before. but, on the other hand, silk petticoats are even worse in this respect.

In one of General Buffers political campaigns, says the Boston Budget. he was to speak in a hall which had a small aperture over the speakers desk. Some of the younger and daredevil ele- ment secreted themselves in the loft from which the hole opened, and at an impressive moment in the General S speech a huge wooden spoon suspended by a cord was seen descending slowly from the ceiling. The effect upon the audience was instantaneous, and amid roars of laughter, in which even the dignified occupants of the platform could not help joining, the spoon pur- sued its downward course, halting only when directly opposite the speaker face MT Butler gazed calmly at the cause of the merriment. Then, reach ing for the trophy, he said gravely: Hello! There's one didn't get" and, pocketing the prize, he resumed his ad- dress.
