CANNON TO PROTECT MINES.
General Brooks Decides Upon q Plan
to Check Lawlessneas.

Leadville, Col, Oct. 5.-General Brooks
and his offfcers have practically decided to
make provision for defending the endan-
gered mines by placing cannon on Car
Donate hill, which commands most of them.
The next object of attack, if further at
tacks be made, is pretty well understood to
be the great pumping plant of the Maid
of Erin mine, which drains the Mahala,
Emmet and Marian mines, which are now
resuming work. as well as many others.
The pumps belong 10 Smith and Moffat.
If these pumps were crippled, the ruin of
the mines by water would reduce the nor
NAL production of the camp fully one
third.

FLORIDA VOTES TO-DAY.
Democrats Will Elect the Governor
by Big Majority.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 5.-Not since 1876
has there been SO much interest taken in
state election as is displayed in the con-
test that will be settled at the polls to-
morrow. In addition to the state issues,
there are many county differences to be
adjusted. AS rule, only Democratic and
Republican tickets are in the field, but in
some cases there are Populist and inde-
pendent candidates. The battle, however,
is between the Democrats and Republic
ans and in the fight for important state Of
fees the Democrats will win by large ma
iorities. Fifty thousand votes will prob
ably be cast, and of these it is estimated
that Bloxham Oem), will receive between
20 900 and 5000 for governor

An ANGEL in Disguise,

The proprietor of large store on
High street went to his place of bust
ness at an unusually early hour re-
Gently; In fact the sun had not yet
risen when he turned the key in the
door. On entering he was surprised to
find a man trying to open the door
Of his safe.
He stood and watched him for some
time, apparently deeply interested in
the proceedings, when finally the bur-
glar swung open the door of the safe
with a delighted chuckle, but happen
ing to turn he saw that he was dis
covered and became very much alarmed.
He jumped up and was about to make
his escape through back window,
when the merchant called to him:
Don't be in a hurry, my friend;
come back and sit down awhile and
smoke cigar, while straighten up
things little bit, and then come home
to breakfast with me. You have done
me a great favor"
"Why, how's that?" asked the burglar
In great surprise.

ton of the safe on bit of paper and
last night l accidentally locked 1t in
the safe and forgot how to work it;
spent most Of the night trying to
get the thing open and came in early
this morning to have another try at
it."-West Medford (Mass.) Windmill.

of them have never seen railway train
or a steamboat, the world outside of
their immediate settlement being a
sealed book. Wives are traded as fire.
quently and with as little ceremony as
horses, and religion is an unknown
quantity.
Marriages are of the common-law
sort and divorces are secured without
appeals to the courts.
1t was only recently that an old man,
firing of his wife, who had reached the
age of sixty and, desiring younger
one, effected trade with a neighbor,
giving an old silver watch as boot to
atone for the disparity in the ages of
the two females. Trades of this kind
are of common occurrence.
Children born in this locality are
brought up in this state of semi-bar-
barism. There are no educational adj
vantages except those of district
school, some miles distant, which is
open for a couple of months only dur
ing the winter.
Boys learn to chew and smoke tobac-
co at an age when other boys have not
long discarded dresses. They learn to
use the name of God only as an oath.
The reading is confined to the news
paper that comes to the schoolmaster
occasionally. when he happens to be
in the settlement. 1t is to him that the
inhabitants look for some stray bits
of news regarding the great world OF
which they have heard so little. Salts
fed with drudgery and toll and the
meagre living they get from their small
farms, they never think of venturing
over the mountain tops and descending
to the valley where the railway trains
would carry them to civilization.
Perhaps the one ray of sunshine that
comes into the lives of these poor peo-
pie is the visit of the country school
master, when the district school is
blessed by his presence. AS is the Gus
tom in the country, the schoolmaster
boards round; that is, he visits at
different periods of his school term
among the various families of his dis
trict. OF course he is given a right
royal welcome, and although the fare
is of the poorest and rudest kind, yet
true hospitality is given him.
After the evening meal the host
hands his guest well-worn corn-cob
pipe, and, taking one himself, prepares
to enjoy his evening smoke. The boys
of the family, if there be any, also reach
for their pipes, and lighting them,
smoke with the experience of veterans.
1t would be simple charity to send
missionaries to try and redeem these
rough and untutored men and women
up among the mountain peaks of the
Catskills.
