II appears that some time ago the COM
missioner of mines, in his official capac-

lode of Cripple Creek and found that
the defendant had shaft 225 feet deep,
with no ladder or other means OF access
except the cage The defendant had
stored In the boiler and engine room a
considerable quantity Of giant powder
and It was found that the mine was In
very dangerous and defective condi-
tiOn generally The commissioner noti-
fed the defendant to remedy these
matters, but so far has failed to CON-
ply with his instructions.
Suit has been brought to secure en- In
junction to prevent defendant from op-
Grating the mine until lie has compiled
with the law.
This Is the first suit OF the kind that
has been brought in this county, but 1t
will not be the last unless mine owners
comply with the law more fully than
they have in the past.

Cambridge. Mass. Feb. 27.-F. l..
Woodward. of the Lawrence Scintffic
school at Harvard has devised a new
ray lamp. by means of which excellent
catholic photographs have been OBJ
tanned. The lamp has walls of sheet
aluminium one-tenth of nm inch in
thickness. The rays pass through the
aluminium slil..-A
Mr.. Woodward has obtained y..v
Clearly defined shadowgraphs of the
hand In five seconds, from an. induced
current of only between 2j,OO0 and
10000 volts.
The base of the lamp is Of solid
glass. fitted into the base of alur1inum
with plaster of paris, and made Dir
tight. A metallic ring passes round
the base OF the cone, and holtss the
sides firmly to the glass blttom.
Thrcug! point n little ut on. side
of the center of TIE glass. pass Is the
cathode pole into the lamp. md IL
platinum disc Is fastened to the end
of 1t, at such an angle as to be palsll-

lamp, and directly connected with the
metallic side Is the anide pole and at
the top of the cone, is n glasa tube
through which the air may be exhaust
cd. The glass tube is also fastened in
with plaster OF paris and bound by n
metallic ring. A circular wooden disc
Is fastened inside the metallic cone
to prevent any collapse of the sides
as the air Is exhausted.
The new ray lamp has an interest
aside from its construction, from the
fact that experiments conducted with
it appear to disprovc the theory that a
glass vacuum envelope plays an Lmpor-
tant part in the generation Il the
Rocntgen rays. THIS theory was ad-
! vanced by Roentgen himself. The re-

Ono Instance of Thuu.ht Transfsrence
Which Created Mrch Marvel.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
"a strange case Of telepathy came
under my observation recently" said a
well-known telegrapher to a group Of
listeners at the Planters the other day.
Some years ago there lived in the city
an operator and newspaper man named
Johnstone. who met with an accident
that disabled him from work for some
months. Not being very well fixed
financially, his little savings were soon
exhausted in meeting current expenses
and paying doctors bills. until at last
he did not have cent in the world
and was not yet strong enough to hus-
tie for living. In this extremity
Johnstone approached an acquaintance
and told him the situation, and asked
for loan until he could get on his feet
again. This was come six or seven
years ago. May. the man approached
by Johnstone. advanced sufficient
money to pay outstanding claims and
tide over for few days until he could
lock around and find something to do.

had not heard anything about him since
he disappeared from st. Louis some siS
years ago. May then related his fnan-
cial dealings with Johnstore, and we
parted. New Years evening a letter
was received by May pos;marked at
small town in Colorado, written By
Johnstone, and containing an express
money order for the full amount of the
claim. The letter was dated Dec. 80,

Washington. D. c.. Feb. 27.-A STIR
ring speech by Mr.. Vest on behalf Of
Cnba was the event of to-day in the
Senate. 1t came unexpectedly, rs Mr..
Vest seldom announces his speeches
or makes preparations. The Senate
Ind agreed that the final vote Of the
Cuban resolution would be taken at
p. M tomorrow. and the debate was
proceeding. Mr.. White of California,
ana Mr.. Cray of Delaware, contelding
as legal proposition that the United
States could not at this time recognize
Cuba's independence This aroused
Mr.. Vest. first for questions of re-
monstrance, and then to one of the
bursts OF eloquence with which he at
times electrifies the Senate He spoke
OF Spain as the toothlcss old wolf who
had lost one by one Of her litter and
was still clinging to this single re-
manning cub. He pictured Spain as
the impotent Giant OF Despair In the
Piigrim's Progress, gazing on defeat.
In ImDnssihna1 tynrr1a he mnce nm
apothesis Of liberty or rare beauty md
fervor, adding with ringing emphasis
that the Cuban patriots would never,
never. never agaIn become the uuwill-
ing subjects of Spain.
At the close of the speech. Mr..
Gray. who opposed Mr.. Vest, said that
If eloQuence could achieve the free
dom Of Cuba, then the burning words
OF the Missouri senator would set her
free. The debate will be closed by
Mr.. Sherman tomorrow. 1t is ccnsid-
cred certain that favorable action will
be taken on one of the several resolu-
tions. The only doubt being whether

The outlook for the phosphate busi-
ness in South Carolina Is gloomy, so the
state phosphate inspector reports.
Prices are lower than ever before; the
working force has been reduced and
the wages cut. One of the largest COM
panies has suspended operations The
causes assigned for the depression are
a decreased demand, and the growing
competition OF phosphates from AL
gerIa from Venezuela, from the French
District of Somme and from Tennessee.
The Tennessee phosphate is the most
formidable competitor of the South
Carolina product, filling its place per-
fectly, and being placed on the market
Mt less price, as 1t does not need wash
ing or drying. 1t is significant. in this
connection, that South Carolina syn
dictate has recently paid 100000 for
21 900 acres of phosphate land In Ten

New York. Feb. 2S.-At an adjourned
meeting of the annual meeting Of tn,
New York Yacht club last night, with
forty yacht owners present and about
GOO members crowding the club house
Lord Dunraven was expelled from mem
bcrshlp in the club by vote Of 80 to l.
the one being the sloop yacht Oriva.
owned by Chester Munroe.
The club house OF the New York zach.
club was absolutely packed to-nIsh.
with members and yacht owners, who
were anxious to testify by their presence
that the Dunrayen-Dcfender case should
be settled once and for all. Up 70 the
time of meeting $50 o'c1ock), no direct
apology or notification OF intended resi.-
nation had been received by any club
officer from Lord DunraTen.
1t was rumored that letter embody-
Ing resignation was IN It's way from
the doubly defeated owner Of valkyrie
but 1t was not in e' 'idence when the
meeting was called to order by Ccpmd-
dore Brown. a.
As soon as the meeting was cnIled to
order by Commodore Il. NJ. Brow, Cap
tain Lewis Cass Ledyard requested that
his motion, calling for the resignation OF
Lord Dunraven from the Sew York
Yacht club, which he PROPOSED two
weeks ago, should be withdrawn The
request was granted unanimously. Cap
tain Lcdyard then claimed that onder

Gated therein may be removed from the

should be summary deak with.
Captain Leyard then offered
lengthy preamble and resolutions reci.-
ing the facts that Lord Dunrayen hal
made charges that were not substs ntia:-
ed and had not npologizel for them, ami
tina; he should therefore be dropped froiu
the list of honorary members. Thf reso-

TELEGR.A AS TO WOMEN.

The telegraph messenger who keeps
his eyes open has an opportunity to
note many curious phases of human
nature. One told recently that wo-
men never opened a telegram without
turning pale, and when the message
was not alaming they looked disap-
pointed. He delivered about two
death messages IA day, four birth mes
sages, a great many business messages
and once in great while love mes
sage that makes him tired to carry il,
He carried one recently to a young man
in town that: How are YOU today. dar-
ling: The answer went promptly
back by the boy, and was to the effect:
81 am better, love-" He once carried
message of death to colored woman
and after reading it her emotions
overcame her to such all extent that
she caught the messenger in her arms
and soundly boxed his ears. Another
colored woman refused to open or sign
for message, but walked the floor
and beat her heart and screamed, sup
posing it announced death. When all
the neighbors had come in, one more
venturesome than the rest read the
message. 1t was simply a notice that
the woman's sister would come mp
from Leayenworth that evening to see
her.
