TIE NINE RAT.

One OF those who escaped alive
from the disastrous explosion and
fire in the coal mine Mt White Ash
near Los Cerrilos, New Mexico
about a month ago, was an inmate
of the Denver city Jail. The sur
vivoT of thacaiastrophe is George
Page, ladof l3 years, and he was
saved from the death by suffocation
and roasting which overlook most
OF his comrades in the mine, only
to fall into the clutches of the law.
He was taken to Golden, Colorado,
to serve out term OF eight years
in the State Reform school for a
theft committed at Anaconda, El
Paso county.
Young Page belongs to that
species of juvenile humanity that
are generally known in the mineral
camps as mine rats" These en-
bryo miners are usually the sons
of men who spend their lives delv-
Ing IN ore or conl beds. Brought
up in the mines, Page has seen
very little OF any other kind of life
and as soon as he was large and
strong enough to work he took
naturally to The pick and barrow.
On the day of the accident he
was at work ss usual. No thought

recorded by writer of tha
period, A certain gentleman oI
Florence had written book, and
liking Magliabechi, had lent him
the manuscript to read. Some
time later, Maglabechi, having
read and returned the manuscript
the author came TO him with n
long face and pretended to have
lost his treasured work. 1t made
him very unhappy, he SAID, be-
cause he had no copy OF it
aud he supposed he would
have to go to to the trouble of
writing it all over again. Maglia-
bechi told him to take comfort:
that he thought he could remem-
ber it well enough TO give hlm
copy, which he did. He sat down
and wrote the book ont complete
from memory; and it is the tes-
timony Of those who have
chronicled the tale that the Mag
iiabechi copy did not differ in the
slightest degree from the original,
which had not really been lost,
and with which it was afterward
compared,
He had likewise marvellous
memory for small details. No
how large library might
be, if he had looked it over care
fully once he could remember ex |
actly where every book stood. 1t
was said that one day he was sent
or by his patron, tie great Duke,
Who asked him where be could
procure volume that he hap
lened TO want, and which was ex-
,essively rare.
"Ihere is but one in the world"
iaid Magliabschi. "That is in
he Grand Seignor's library at
lonatantinople, and Is the seventh
,ook on the seventh shelf, on the
light hand as you go in."

The application of Eugene Deb:
and his associates to the L. S.
Supreme Court for a writ Of ha.
beas corpus, on the ground that
they are unconstItntionally i'm.
prisoned, was argued this week,
Attorney General Olney speaking
against the motion, and Mr.. G. S.
Darrow, of Chicago, for it. 1t is
expected that it will be several
weeks before a decision is handed
down in this case, which will prob
ably furnish a precedent for some
years after it is made, unlpes the
court shall be nearly evenly di-
vlded upon it. Attorney General
Olney gave dinner to the coupse,
engaged in the case. The guests
were ex. Senator Lyman TrumbulI,
g. S. Darrow and 6. S. Gregory Of
Debs' counsel; Edwin RI. Walker
and Assistant Attorney General

AN IEFALLIBLE MEMORY

From IIarpers Young People.
One OF the most marvellous
memories known to the world was
that of an Italian boy who had the
long name of Maglisbechi. He
was born in Florence in 1888.
His father and mother were very
poor and not particularly intelli
gent. When he was not more
than 7 or s years of age he was
employed by green grocer, but
he was too fine a boy to remain
long in such service as that.
Though he had never learned to
read, lie used to spend all his
snare time looking at books 10 a
neighboring booksellers shop.
One day the bookseller accosted
him, and hearing that Maglia
bechi could not read he asked him
what he meant by looking so
much at the booka.
The child replied that he did
not know why he did it, but that
it gave him so much pleasure
merely 10 look at the printed
pages that be could not resist.
This answer interested the book.
seller hugely, and he took Maglia
Dechi into hls employ and taught |
Iim how to read. After that bel
'ose gradually higher, until Ger
ain libraries of Florence took an
interest in him, ard got him EN-
,loyment there. I. Sas then that

The mining share excitement in
London and Paris, with shares OF
properties III the Witwatersrand
district Of South Africa as its OBJ
ject, says Bradstreet's, has had
limited but very necessary set back.
Prices for some Of the low priced
shares, which depended TO con
siderable extent upon const0nt
putting and advertising, have had
material drop, and new issues,
particularly of West Australian
properties, find less favor with the
public. In the opinion of the
most candid observers OF the sit
uatiop, the movement has been
overdone, and, as most Of the pub
lilo buying has been OF an outright
kind, the lock up of funds for this
purpose has exhausted the avail
able supply and caused the Lon

tired appearance.
