A PRosPEoT-THEN A MINE.
All Dividend Paying Mines We're
Once Mere Prospects.


With all due respect to several wor-
thy members of this community, the
Review believes a wholly unnecessary
hue and cry is being raised against
wildcat" mining schemes and
worthless prospects, a prospect is
NOT worthless" as many people seem
to think, simply by reason of being
prospect All great producers nave
been only prospects at one stage OF
their existence, and without prospects
we would have no mines. The ap-
parent tendency to decry undeveloped
the country no good. a company that
is organized for the purpose of develop
ing a prospect, and that gives out an
honest statement of its purpose and
of the condition of the property, is en-
gagged in Just as lawful and laudable
an undertaking as any mercantile in
CORPORATION. 1t is only when such COM
pany undertakes to sell its stock upon
the Misrepresentation that it owns a
rich, developed mine, that it becomes
wildcat Swindle. In nine cases out
of ten the illegitinrate mining projects
are conceived and executed by a set of
eastern adventurers and sharps. West
ern people rarely descend to this form
of fraud. and in this inter-mountain
region there are fewer such swindles
than in any other mining section.
Eastern people who are bitten by the
wildcats" would be easy game for
any bunko sharps, for many avenues
of reliable information are open to
them.
The Review would deplore the inau-
guration of a wildcat regime, but
so long as people retain their senses
there is no danger of such a calamity.
Such a regime is certainly not upon us
now; neither is it threatened, and the
affected alarm of some people is not
only imprudent, but it is absolutely

HIS PECULIARITIES.
David MOOre's Actions Related in the
VIII Cn Ie.

David Moore's Actions Related In the
VIII Ca Je.
The alleged peculiarities of the late David
Moore were detailed to the jury today in
Circuit Court No. 2 Judge McComas, in
the case Of the widow and children OF
James L. Moore against Mrs. Annie E.
Barbour. the widow of James L. Barbour
AS explained in yesterdays Star, the will
Of David Moore is attacked, although the
suit is one in ejectment.
The will, made in 1876, cut off Mrs Bar
bour's brother. and, after it had been ad-
mitted to probate, her brother not pro-
testing, it is said, she entered upon the
property, said to be now worth about $50,
600. Upon the death of her husband Mrs.
James l.. Moore filed the suit, claiming that
her fa.her-fE-law's will was not lawfully
executed; that he was mentally incapable
of executing it, and that it was procured
through the undue influence and fraud of
Mr.. and Mrs. Barbour or some others.
The present Is the second trial of the
case, the Court of Appeals having set aside
the first verdict. which was in favor of the
widow and children of Mrs. Barbour s
brother. Miss Moore. the first witness
called in the present trial, detailed yester-
day and today the pecnliarities of her
grandfather. His memory, she said, was
very, very defective, and in almost every
thing he was childish. He was a very pro-
fame man, and, much against her inclina-
the old mans language He always had a
set way Of retiring, and If the slightest
detail was omitted by those assisting him
the air became blue with profa nifty. He IN.
yariabiy slept between two buffalo robes
three four pistols being within easy
reach. She was quite confident that at the
time his will was made the old man was
mentally incapable of executing it

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA
An Internal Machine Sent to Mr.. ]. n
Hill.
Young Man Receives an Accidental
and other Interesting Notes.

Mr.. J. M. Hill, owner of the st. Asaph race
track, yesterday received, by Adams ex-
press, a veritable Internal machine from
Atlanta, Ga. 1t was an innocent enough
looking wooden box, about twelve inches
long. three inches wide and three deep. The
box was taken into a back room and opened.
When the lid was removed mass Of scrap
Iron, screws, bolts, ETC., and powder filled
the interior of the box. To say that the
men were frightened is useless, for with a
bound they were soon outside Of the room
and waiting for an explosion: but none
came. The men cautiously crept back into
the room and up to the box, and. after
careful examination. 1t was found that the
fuse which had been put in it had been
broken in transit. The matter is being in
vestigated, and the sender, If found, will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Mr.. Hill was seen by a Star reporter last
night and said that he had no idea who could
have sent the machine, but supposed that
some crank had done it.
Accidentally Shot.
The sew nteen-yesr-old son of Mr. J. d.
Varnnm of Fairfax county was accidental
Iy shot at his home in the county yester-
day. He had a one-barreled pistol in his

discharged, the ball passing almost entirely

TO AID GIRLS.
Movement Among Charitable People
for n New InstitutiOn.

Movement Among Charitable People
for New Institution.
There Is movement on foot among the
charitable ladies of this city to establish a
home for young girls who are in poverty or
amid vicious surroundings, and also a place
to serve for the homes of the infant chill
cren of unmarried girls, where the maternal
affection can be kept alive, and where the
child could unconsciously act as a mission
airy for the redemption Of its mother. The
movement Is really continuation of the
good work carried on by the House of
Mercy, located at 24OS K street. which is
haven for erring girls. The necessity for
such a home. for which the movement is
started, is clearly evident through the
workings of the House of Mercy.
AS contemplated, there ia no intention Of
CHASING all of the inmates together, be-
cause Of the possible bad influence Of the
mtermingling of virtuouS and fallen girls.
While the new home would be for virtuous
girls in poor circumstances and for in
fants, the mothers of the children would be
kept at the House of Mercy. In. the new
home the girls would be kept until about
eighteen years of age, when situations
would be procured for them. The girls
would be taught housework in all it's
branches for their own betterment The
infants would be kept until three years of
age, and during their stay at the home the
mothers would be invited and induced to
NiSit tnem ana II possible, assist In their
support, the maternal bond being thought
to be able to accomplish a vast deal of
good.
The contemplated institution will be run
entirely separate from the House of Mercy,
though the sisters of mercy of the Episeo-
pal Church would doubtless have the man
agement of it. though In its workings the
new home would be non-sectarian. No COM
pulsion will be used, and as in the House Of
Mercy, tine girls would come of their own
free will The movement has heretofore
been kept up by private canvassine, but
now general appeal to the public is made
to help the good work along. Mrs Samuel
Donelson of No. 17O6 M street has consent
ed to receive all subscriptions for the
! worthy charity. Already one young lady
whose name is withheld has offered to nav
the first months rent for suitable build
ing when one is secured. As soon as other
assurances of support are received the
movement will be put into practical execu-
ton.

Everything Points to a Substantial
Social and Artistic Success.
The preliminaries of the approaching He
brew fair are being rapidly arranged and
the expectations Of the promoters Of the
applaudahle enterprise promise to be more

apparent on the part of business men here

ing both in a moral and substantial way
and the ladies who will participate are de-
termined tc accomplish equally as much in
making the event social and artistic sue
cess. The press committee which has
charge Of the Hebrew Fair Journal, met
last night in the Ad-writers' Club and de-
cided upon the character of the paper 1t
will contain a variety of high-class and en-
tertaining reading matter, and it's sixteen
pages will also be generously favored by
advertisers. The business manager. Mr..
Samuel Cans, reported substantial progress
in his department. The ladies of Debora h
Lodge are determined to have the most at
tractive booth at the fair, and the design
which has been accepted assures them their
wishes will be gratified. They have re-
ceived a bewildering amount of contribu-
tons, embracing many valuable and useful
articles. Mrs. Moser will be in charge of
Deborah Lodge table, and her charming as-
sistants will be Mrs. Guckenheimer, Mrs.
