an induction coil and the secondary circuit OF the
latter was connected to the tube This enabled the
sparks TO leap a much greater distance than would
otherwise be possible. William Crookes was one OF
the most active Investigators OF the properties or
the cathode rays and therefore the tube in which
high vacuum experiments were conducted was named
after him.
The first effect which noticed was faint

proved that this came from the cathode and that 1t
was caused by straight rays by Introducing a
Maltese into the tube 50 that IT would cast

CRIPPLE CREEK.
Latest News From the Great
Gold Fields.
A Kansas Mans Advice is "Stay
at Home"
COAL 81 PER TON.
Lumber Scarce and Rents Are
Very High.
Wages Are High Where One
Can Find Employment.

CANEY, Kan, Feb. cd. z. Cribs,
who left here some time since for Grip
pie Creek has written home to a friend a
good idea of the camp Here is the
letter:
II consider this healthy climate. We
are about 1900 feet above the sea level;
the air is light and pure. We have some
very cool, winter weather. In summer
it rains much of the time.
AT present an experienced miner or
man having trade or honorable profess
sion has no trouble to get employment,
but people are arriving, probably a hun
dred day, and when the spring boom
comes it is likely there will be g surplus
of labor so that a man not having friends
to assist him will stand a poor chance to
get employment
Sat present, wages are about as follows
per day of 8 hours: Experienced miners
and carpenters. So; common laborers, So;
team and driver, 81: bookkeepers, $50
to 500 per month; professional cook, SO
to $15 per week; dining room girls, So
to 81 per week. Board and bed, Sc and
upward; single meal, 25 cents; bed, 90
cents; -four, 81 so per cwt.; best meats,
1876; eggs and butter, 20 to 30c; coal,
81 per ton; oats, $3.50 per cwt. Five
lum Der companies cannot supply the de-
mand for lumber, hence rents are very
high.
ANY one expecting to locate here
had better come before the spring rush
is on. But my advice would be to
friends who have u home and business,
stay with it and not sacrifice a certainty
for an uncertainty"

Herbert Booth Charges Balling'
ton With Insubordination,
Then Dismisses Him From. the
Office of Commander.
AN EXCITING MEETING
Ballington Booth and Wife Have
Left Their Home.
A Reward Has Been Offered for
Their Discovery.

NEW YORK, Feb. %. -Ba1lington
Booth, commander g the Salvation
army in America, has disappeared
with his wife, Maud B. Booth. Their
home in Montclair. n. j., is closed.
They have not been at the army head
quarters in this city since Thursday.
Herbert Booth, bLother of Ballington
Booth. and commander of the army in
Canada, will take charge of the forces
here to-day. He offered reward yes
terday to anyone who would tell him
where Ballington is. The army is
stirred to great excitement.
On the steamship Tentonic Wednes-
day night, Eva Booth, sister, arrived
from England. Herbert Booth was
hastily summoned to New York by
Colonel Nicols, assistant staff officer
of the army, who came here ostensibly
on a mission to investigate the senti-
ment of repetition in this country
against the transfer of Commander
Booth to another sphere of action.
He arrived on Thursday and on that
day a court of inquiry was held by
three, with Ballington Booth before
them. The proceedings became
heated. There were charges and in
ordinations. Darlington Booth was
ordered to proceed at once to England.
81 will not CO." he said.
sFThis is characterization, replied
Herbert. "You know what that
means in the army"
Eyes, know"
SIT means dismissal"
"Then 1 will accept it," replied the
commander.
In the heat of the argument that
followed, the commander complained
bitterly of the injustice of his father
removing him arbitrarily from field
where he had labored so long, and in
which he hoped ia finish his life. He
10 ade use of insu bordinat1on, and crit
icised the general severely.
This means a trial by court-mar-
tial," cried Herbert Booth, springing
to his feet. ''You have spoken disre-
spectfully of your father and your
general. prefer charges of insubor-
dination and disrespect agrinst you.
l move that this court proceed to try
you for the words"
Colonel Nicols supported Herbert
Booth. He then made known his full
authority.
Il have authority to dismiss you
from Office he said, land to appoint
your successor. 1 demand of you all
the property of the army in America
in your name. You are dismissed from
office"
Then Ballington Booth rose to his
feet. Let it mean dismissal" he said.
81 will never stand it.
After receiving notice of dismissal he
and his wife spent the evening pack
ing up their personal belongings. The
keys were turned over soon after
wards.

Maher led with his left and another
clinch followed. Fitzsimmons seemed
a bit bothered aud broke ground on
Makers lead Maher followed him up
and led with his left, when Fitzsim-
simmons side-stepped, and swinging
his right, landed full on the point of
Makers left chin. Maher measured
his length on the floor, his head strik-
ing the canvas with great force. He
vainly attempted to rise, but could not
do more than raise his head. His sec
onds called to him to get up, but he
failed to respond, and sank back to the
canvas.
Maher vainly tried to rise, and Fitz-
simmons was declared the victor after
the minute and thirty-fiVe seconds OF
rather lively fighting. Fitzsimmons
admirers cheered him to the echo and
Makers seconds carried the defeated
Irishman to his corner. 1t was sever
al minutes before he realized what
had happened and FitzsimmOns
walked over to his corner and shook
him by the hand. Fitzsimmons also
shook hands with Quinn and the sec
onds in Peters corner. Barring the
slight bleeding at the nose occasioned
by the left-hand jab of Maher, the
Australian showed no marks of injury
and appeared as fresh as at the open
ing. Maher showed no signs of pun
ishment except slight break on the
skin just above the point of the left
chin where Fitz's master stroke had
landed.

Real RookwOrms at cornell.

Mr.. Austin, an assistant librarian, in
cataloguing the fine Dante collection pre-
sented to Cornell university by Professor
Willard Fiske, found some live bookworms
in an edition of the divine comedy bearing
the date MDXXXVI. This is the third
time only that these rare insects have been
found in an American library. Carefully
removing the worms, which were eating
from front to back and had only reached
the front pages of the Inferno" Mr..
Austin took them to Professor Comstock
of the chronological department.. There,
after making sure that they were genuine
bookworIns they were developed, and,
having secured the beetles, they were bred
from until there were sufficient eggs,
bookworms and beetles for the university
museum and enough more to make Mr..
Austin present of good sized vial full
of each.-New York Post
