CHINESE GORDON.

The Famous Englishman's Resignation and
Prophetic Message to the Khedive.
A correspondent writing to The Scot;
fish American says: One chilly morn
ing at Suez, in the winter of 1S79-s0,
I received a message from Colonel Cor
don. He had just landed from Suakin,
and wished to see me. found him seat
ed in room at the old Suez hotel, with
his black secretary and trusty factotum,
Mohammed Ell Tohamy, and few
friends, including the governor Of the
town.
Poor Mohammed Ell Tohamy, who was
destined to see his master fall at Khar-
tum and probably shared his fate, was
looking cold and miserable. and no
ticed he was slipping some hot mixture
Of which the aroma did not seem fam
iGar
On my entering, Gordon exclaimed:
ct have resigned the governor gen.
eralship Of the Sudan and am return
ing to England The khedive's ministers
dared to send me instructions, and so ]
have resigned Now, tell me honestly,
what will the world say Of my work
in the Sudan after the years I have
spent there? What is the apparent re-
sult?"
said something to the effect that his
name would live and be remembered.
/ "Aye," he rejoined, ''but what visible
trace remains of my exile and labor? 1t
is now God Is will that should abandon
my task, and there is absolutely moth
ing to show-nothing for the world to
gaze at except'''-he added this with a
curious smile and pointing to the shiv-
ering son OF. the tropics at the other side
Of the table except, perhaps, that
have taught my Mohammedan secretary
to drink hot toddy at 10 in the morn
ing"
Certainly Gordon's work was not In
tended for show. At Alexandria he had
an audience with the late khedive,
Tewfk Pasha, at which he rendered his
resignation. and then, removing his fez,
the badge Of allegiance, addressed some
words Of stirring advice to his highness,
"as from an independent English gen.
tleman." Before embarking for Europe
Gordon wrote famous telegram to the
khedive-"Mene, Meme, Tekel, Uphar-
sin''-which was shown 10 me and to
the correspondent Of great London
newspaper, but it is q question whether
1t was ever dispatched from Malta In

The Shakers had their peculiar desig-

were encouraged by their form of wor-

ending IN partial or total unconscious

delightful recognition tof Mrs. HAIRS

A car load of.wcod on Little Falls
and Dakota train going west. took fire
on Friday last few miles west OF the
city and it gained such rapid headway
that it could not be extinguished. All
the train hands could do was to wait
until it burned up, car and all, and then
remove the debris and proceed with the
train. A hot box was the cause of it.

MIR. Lewis statement that the one
"smeltery' in Wisconsin uses only
a third of the zinc ore product of the
district is misleading. The furnace
here uses only one class oflore--dry-
bone-and consumes all of such ore
raised in this district and thousands
of tons from other districts besides,
Blackjack and drybone must be es-
timated together to sustain the state
nlent as to proportion manufactured
here. To be entirely fair, Mr.. Lewis
and other agitators should designate
the different classes of ore when at
tempting to enlighten the public in
relation to the zinc industry and its
needs.

On the Gridiron-we Win a Game.

AS expected, the game of football
last Saturday, between tho Mineral
Point high school team and the Sec
ond eleven of the PIatteyille Nor
mails, was spirited and interesting.
Reports that this junior team OF
Platteyille was able to put the IA
nous Normal first eleven on their
metal, and that some Of the said
first eleven were in the Platteville
line, made the visitors favorites at
| the opening Therefore, the victory
of the home team was the more
creditable and gratifying. From the
start tho high school boys showed a
determination to win, if hard play
| ing and close attention to their du-
ties would accomplish It. They went
in with rush that surprised their
friends and nonplused their oppo-
nents, and never let up until the last
call Of "time.n The visitors eyi-
IDENTIFY met stronger competition than
they expected, and were not prepared
for il. Only cnce during the first hall
did they get possession Of the pig
skin, and when given them in the
second they failed in keeping 1t any
respectable time. But they stood
bravely to the rack, and met the yig-
orous onslaughts of our team with
unfailing courage and commeadable
good humor. No attempt will be
made to particularize, other than
the eighty yard run by Jones for
a touch down, after grabbing the
ball as 1t was being handled for a
drop kick. Each player Of the home
team filed his position exceedingly
well, as the score of % to 0 in its fa-
yor proves, The line up Of the teams
was az follows:

Money For New Zinc Works.


Julius Lewis, formerly of Highland,
now in business at Benton, is an act
i've and Jealous worker in the move
ment to effect an organization of the
miners of southwest Wisconsin, with
view to securing better prices for
ores. Week after week he has loaded
the columns of the Highland Press
with matter on the subject. Mainly
his labor has been on the line Of con-
demning the zinc smelters and ore
buyers as greedy monopolists, offer
ing very little Of practical value as
a remedy for the miners affliction.
But IN his latest production he out
lines comprehendable scheme for
the accomplishment of the desired
purpose, to-wit. the raising of capi-
tai and the construction Of zinc works
to be run on the cooperative plan.
He says "the forces are ripe for de-
cisive blow, and in the latter part Of
November is the time to strike" and
is confident that "a meeting for or
ganization, with such men as Rails
beck, Buchan, i. J. Law, p. A. Orton
and Thomas cambridge as leaders,
can be held to good account
Mr.. Lewis informs us that Oar
lington will take $4,000 Of stock in a
cooperative plant, Dubuque will go
it $4,000 better, and Shullsburg will
see her rieighbors' bet. Where is
Benton, Highland, Linden, and the
rest of the district? We need not
fear for the future. Our produce is
manufactured into material for
which there has always been a de-
iuand, for which the markets Of the
future will show as large a demand
as it ever has been in the years
gone by. The commercial field Ii
indeed large, but the territory from
which such ores as ours are raised Is
not large. There are two districts
where zinc Is to be obtained Is suffi-
cient quantities to satisfy the de-
mands of operating smelters. One Is
here in southwest Wisconsin and the
other is located peculiarly like 1t. in
southwest Missouri. They have there
more compact mining district, and
organization was more easily accom-
plished. Only

A Pleasant Anniversary Gathering.

The meeting of Emery Lodge No.
3l1, I.lo. G. T., on Tuesday evening, in
commemoration of the 30th anniver-
sary Of its organization, was an en-
ceedingly pleasant affair. The coma
pany embraced present members of
the lodge and invited guests from adj
jacent lodges, 60 in all. Entertain
ment consisted of masic by Prof.
Alderson's orchestra, an oyster sup
per, short addresses, etc. Among the
speakers Were Mr.. and Mrs. Aldro
jerks, Rev. Titmarsh and G. Halver-
son, Of Dodgeyille; j. r. Wallis, of
Allen Lodge; Miss Penhallegon. p.
Allen Jr., J. p. Hankins, w. J. Ham
mil and Rev. 4. Kent, Of the home
lodge. An interesting feature at the
banquet board was the reading of
letters of regret and congratulation
from absent members, among them
being Mr.. and Mrs. z. Lawrence, of
Pierre, S. D.; Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Hoare, .of Kansas City; Mrs. Sadie
Likens. Of Denver; DIR. Jas. Brown,
of Grass Valley, Cal; Mrs. A. r.
Yates and Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Hankins,
of Chicago; Mrs. Lizzie M. Bennett,
of Faribault, Mimi; II. r. Nelson, of
Lena, H.; Mr.. and Mrs. Geo Fester,
Of Milwaukee, and ReY. WI. G. Bond,
of Boseobel, Wis.
Emery Lodge was instituted Nov.
9TH, 1866, with 70 charter members.
OF these, 10 are dead, 32 are living in
different sections of the country, 2S
are still residents of Mineral Point.
Two of the original signers have held
continuous membership through the
30 years, namely Miss Sue Penhalle-
gon and p. Allen Jr.
This lodge is one of but few in the
state that have maintained continue
Gus, active existence for three dec
| AIDES, successfully meeting political
dissension and other enemies of the
order that have wrecked SO many
sister lodges during that time. In
those years an incalculable amount
of good has been accomplished. The
number of youths who have been re-
strained from the drink evil, and led
into lives of soberness by the intlu-
ence of Emery lodge cannot be esti-
mated, and many reclaimed from
and checked in downward paths are
monuments of its good work. This
grand history has been made by the
answering devotion and untirine
zeal of few earnest men and wo.
men, who, through severest trials
through evil as well as through good
report, have prosecuted their philan-
| tliropic work undaunted. Many OF
these have gone to their reward. A
few are still with us. Their names
deserve to be registered in letters ol
gold, and first on the shining list
should appear that of Phil Allen"

Singular Drowning of a Child.

Robert, the little one-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James NJ. Toay, came
to most singular and sad death at
the family home in this city last
Monday morning about 10 o'clock.
The older children being at school,
and the father at his business, the
mother went up stairs in the per-
formance of household duties, leav-
ing her baby boy, who had not yet
learned to walk, contentedly seated
on the sitting-room floor. Coming
down stairs within short time, Mrs.
Toay found her little one missing
from the sitting-room, and going di-
rect into the kitchen, the door of
which had been left ajar, imagine
her anguish to find him motionless,
head down, in a wooden pail. To
snatch him out and alarm the near
est neighbors with her cries was the
work of moment. But her coming
was too late. The efforts of those
present ana q physicians quickly
called Were of no avail. The spirit
had fled, no more to return.
The pail was large one, such as
used for shipping candy. When
found, the child's limbs were stick
ing out over the top, and its little
hands clutching the rim. There was
but little water in the pail, in which
the child's face rested, the back of
its head being dry. 1t is supposed
that the child crept into the kitchen,
and taking hold of the rim of the
pail raised to his feet, lost his bal
ance, and falling with its face in the
water was unable to release itself or
cry out. Every fathers and moth
er's heart in the community aches in
sympathy with the bereaved parents.
