Speaking of the approaching
mining hoom the New York FL
nancial News says: cit will be in
the west that men will first 60 into
mining, particularly gold mining,
on account of the unlimited de-
mand for the yellow metal at
present. With a limited amount
OF capital, men of ability think
they cAn Mai<e proportionately
greater profits in legitimate mining
than in the ordinary business line,
such as manufacturing or johbing.
The result will be that exceptional
fortunes will very likely be Sc
cured. These examples of success
will, from time to time, arouse
eastern capitalists from their half
lethargic condition of plodding
along with small profits and slow
returns, and they will be led by
slow degrees to look for a share of
the luck that has atteal.Sl the men

ARIZONA.

Phe following kindly words on
behalf of Arizona are from the
Chicago Inter Ocean:
zone of the good outcomes of
the evil of demonetization of silver
has been a stimulation of the search
for and development of gold mines.
There is no danger of the supply of
gold becoming too large, and there
was set danger in the accumula-
tion Of idle capital in bank vaults.
No inconsiderable part of this has
been let loose by, the revival of
gold mining enterprises, and Arl-
zona has been among the regions
most attractive to the speculator.
It long was an article of belief
among miners that Arizona was
productive only of surface gold and
that no deep workings could be
developed in it's limits. Experience
has brought knowledge; Arizona
is full of deep workings, and it is
not improbable that the Arizona
mines may equal those of Africa in
productlveEess.
IA second result has been the
development of agriculture for
supply of the mining industries.
And here again Arizona has vim
dicated itself against its calumnia-
tors. The territory has been de-
scribed as an untillable waste of
rock and sand, bnt irrigation has
made parts of it as productive as
the famous valley of the. Nile.
Another, though perhaps a minor,
result has been the discovery of the
fitness of the state as sanitarium
for consumptives and for the ner-
vously exhausted There is little
doubt that Arizona possesses the
finest winter climate in the world,
as warm as that of New Orleans,
but less humid; as bracing as that
of Southern California. and free
from the afternoon fogs of the coast
line; as equable as that OF Florida,
but free from the malaria that in
tests part of Florida.

ASKS FOR A DIVORCE.

She Asks for the Custody of the Children,
and Alleges Desertion and Cruel Treat

and Alleges Desertion and Cruel Treat
ment.
Another sensational chapter is to be
added to the history of the Mallet case, Mrs.
Clara H. Mallet of Freeport having began a
suit asking that the court decree her a
divorce from her husband. Hon. Edward B
Mallet. Jr.
This suit was recently began by Mrs.
Mallet through her general attorney ".
Edwin Ulmer. ESQ.,, of this city. Cage and
Strout, who are associated with Mr.. Clmer
in the suit brought against Mr.. Mallet some
time ago asking for a reformation of GER
tain deed signed by Mrs. Mallet after the
estate WAS passed over to trustees, will be
associated with him in the divorce proceed :
ings.
This suit was entered at the present term
of court, and will come up Mt the October
term. The prayer for divorce is inserted
in writ of attachment to enforce the
decree of the court regarding alimony in
such sums as may be fixed by the court. The
Mallet estate was attached for 100000. the
largest attachment ever made in a divorce
case in this county.
The service of the writ WAS made ON Mr..
Mallet, and attachment was made in Cum
berland and Sagadahoc counties at Freeport
| and at Bath. There was no attempt tC
make an attachment of any property owned
by Mr.. Mallet outside of Maine.
The writ alleges that Mr.. and Mrs. Mallet
were married March 29th. 1877, and it il
further alleged that Mr.. Mallet eserted Lis
| wife July Cd. 1889, and has not since lived
| with her.
Mrs. Mallet alleges desertion and crue
treatment on the part of MIR. Mallet, the
last allegation being simply another form Of
the first.
Mrs. Mallet asks for the custody of the
minor children, E. Thornton Mallet, aged
sixteen, Clara B. Mallet. aged fourteen
Thomas II. Maller. aged twelve. and Roger
P. M. Mallet, aged six.
Symonds. Snow and Cook, are the at
torneys for Mr.. Mallet, and Mr.. Cook. who
was seen yesterday in relation to the
divorce suit, began By Mrs. Mallet, said
For the present we shall have nothing Il
say"
The suit previously brought by Mrs. .Malle
against her husband, was fled at the AprI
| term of court. To that the defendant has
| thirty days in which to file his answer
which has not yet been done. The case viii
go over to the October term. The interes
that has attached to the unique career O.
Mr.. Mallet will MAKE the cases against him

| importance. There seems to be no doub

| Through all his difficulties. Mr.. Mallet ha
remained quietly at work, and has tried hi
best to Bring his estate out of the present
trouble. The effect of the present legal pro
ceedings may be to somewhat retard the
settlement of the estate which up to the
time Of the first suit had progressed very
favora bly,, making it certain that in the ent

property. His western holdings are very

FATHER ENDEAvoR CLARK.
Tells of the Enthusiasm of the Tennessee
Convention.

.Fatber Endeavor" Clark, as ,ba
President of the Society of Christian IN.
deayor is affectionately called. and Mr..
William Shaw, Treasurer OF the Society.
returned Wednesday from trip South.
The chief object of the visit was to at
tend the convention of Tennessee Chris
tian Endeavor Societies, which met at
Knoxville April lila. In conversation
DR.. Clark said that this was one of the
most notable gatherings he had ever
attended in the South. "These Southern
people 90 at thing with an abandon
and enthusiasm that we of the North
really cannot appreciate" he said.
Knoxville itself was thoroughly aroused
over this convention, the papers devoting
whole pages to it each day. 1t was a
typical Christian Endeavor gathering.
t was representative, on a small scale
of what we shall see in Boston next July.
And then the subject of systematic
beneficence, about which you will hear a
great deal at the Boston. convention, was
made much of in Tennessee" said DR..
Clark. $50 also was the subject of good
citizenship. You should hear the South
ern orators thunder away on tthis topic,
and they mean it every word.
AS looked at the gathering of child
ren at one session of the convention, I
was reminded of the union celebration
that will occur during the Boston con-
vention. I am sure that it will be as
much of a revelation in Boston as the
Knoxville meeting was to the people of
that city. Are they coming to Boston?
Yes, indeed. The greatest interest was
shown at every mention of the two magic
words, Boston, '95."
DR.. Clark stopped also at Baltimore.
where hs delivered an address. AT this
place the interest in the Boston conven-
tion was as pronounced as it had been
at the other points.

MISCELLANEOUS.
FALSE IMPRESSIONS
Are Misleading.

Some of our old time customers and
friends Inform us that our method of
advertising, particularly that psart which
relates to special leaders in Low
PRICED GOODS, has conveyed an i'm
preston to some people that ouE entire
stock predominates in common clothing.
SUCH is NOT THE FACT. No oNbetter
clothing is made tEan can be found on
our tables. If every buyer of clothing
were familiar with the quality-fof ma
terial used, make, fit and finish, our
prices would not only commend them
selves but would be an eye-opener
when compared with those charged else
where for similar goods.
Another wrong mpression-which is
freely circulated by our competitors-is
that we are here only for few weeks.
We have leased our store of the j. B.
Brown Estate and are here to stay, and

price, with what you may see elsewhere,
and if our price is not from S. to 81 less
than ali others, come back and get your
money, and a dollar bill for your trouble.
Can we use stronger language? Can we
present more forcible arguments than
the fact that our CLOTHING is GOOD,
and that there ARE DOLLARS TO BE
SAVED at Uncle Sans Clothing Co.?
