We came to the edge of the mine, or pad
dock, as it is called, which, after all, is
nothing but broad, open pit, with slop-
ing sides and perhaps some 40 or so feet in
depth; q poor thing in the eyes Of any one
expecting shafts and machinery and the
elaboration of western methods, but suffi-
cient for its purpose as Chinese methods
are apt to be. Three hundred men clad in
loose blue coats and drawers and plated
sun hats three feet across arc digging up
the pay dirt at the bottom Of the pit with
great hoes and putting 1t on fiat wicker
baskets Others catch up the baskets,
slung one at each end Of n yoke, and bal

throw down their burdens by the wash

IN OBSERVING DOG.

a gentleman of Mount Lebanon,
La, owns a fine Newfoundland dog
allied Kate. Something like a year
tgO last spring Kate was very badly
afflicted with mango, and her master
had her taken to the neighboring
lanyard and thrown into n vat filled
with dye and made from red oak
bark, which is possessed of healing
properties. The dog got well and il
the course of the year had litter of
fine young puppies, all except two OF
which were drowned.
A few days ago Kate discovered
what she evidently considered sure
symptoms of mango in one of the
pups, SC, bidding it follow, she made
Il bee line for the old lanyard, followed
at some distance by the pups. Ar
rived at the well remembered vat
which had formed the scene of her
own ablution, she seized her afflicted
pup by the nape of the eek and
calmly gave it good bath in spite of
its protesting yelps and struggles.
As a reward for her foresight and
maternal care the pup re covered, and
is now as risky and healthy as any
mother could desire

UNIFORM COTTON BALE.

For the last year, or even longer,
there has been an effort on foot in
Texas and in other cotton bearing
States to secure Il uniform bale OF
cotton. The advantages in having
all the cotton of he South pressed in
to uniform sized bales are many, and
railroad people have long sought to
bring some kind of influence to bear
which would secure the desired result.
But Oh account of Il large percentage
Of the press owners being put to more
or less expense in changing their
presses, no great Roadway has been
up to the beginning of last season.
But since last season there was made
II great deal of mission work done in
his direction. and the outlook now is
very favorable for the next seasons
bales proving of a more uniform size.

THE outburst on the silver ques-
ton is made an issue by the so.called
Democratic Convention in Chicago,
but the great question is the ones
ton for revenue for the government.
The government will not likely get
revenue enough to pay its way until
a Republican President and Congress
comes into power to change the tar
if law so as to get more revenue. 1t
looks now as if the administration
will soon have to issue more bonds to
get money to keep the government
running, and yet with all that ruin
GUS financ'ering there are people who
are carried away with the silver craze
instead Of standing by Mckinley for
an increase of the revenues, so that
the government may go on smoothly,
paying its debts as it was doing un-
der Republican rule.

BRYAN is free trader, and i. is the
low tariff rates that he and others
passed. that makes the issue OF bonds
necessary to get the money to pay
the running expenses of government.
The necessity that drives the govern
ment to borrow money to pay iis
running expenses is had enough, but
it is not AS bad an inhiciion as would
Bryan be. He helped to bring about
the state of affairs that compeis .

and denounces the governmep. far

his lire of conduct produced. What
he worked for, produces state Of
affairs that he denOunces, and there

he coadems himself, for he helped to
bring about state Of affairs that be

Killed by Snakes.

The Sunday Philadelphia Times,
published the following shocking des-
patch:
CHAMBERsBURG, July 1S-The fam
lily of Martin L. Drury, a well know n
farmer, who lives on the North noun
tain in this county, in Montgomery
township, was on Thursday night at
tackled by copperhead snakes with
terribly fatal results. The heat of
the night was oppressive and Drury,
his wife and two children, 6 and 8
years respectfully. had taken their
bedding to room in the lower story
and were sleeping upon toe floor in
their improvised beds.
During the night the 6-year-old
boy awoke the rest of the family by
crying out that something had bitten
him. The father struck light and
saw big copperhead snake crawling
away from the bed which he and the
boy had occupied. The younger
child, which had been in bed with
the mother, then began crying and
the mother upon raising the bed coy
erings, saw another snake coiled
around the legs of the baby. The
snake had already bitten the child in
several places and when it dropped
to the floor it attacked the mother.
who was bitten twice.
During the excitement both snake
disappeared in the cellar of the house.
4 neighbor was sent to Mercersburg,
eigh miles distant, for a physician.
When the doctor arrived he found
Mrs. Drury, and both children suffer
ing terribly, with their legs swollen
and almost black. The baby died in
a few hours. Intelligence reached
here this aftesnoon that the boy had
died and that no hopes werc enter
tanned for the recovery OF the mother.
The terrible results have created n
great excitement in the community.

Escaped.

Last Saturday three hard cases es
capped from Huntingdon Reformatory
where they had been sent to be re
formed. The act of the three proves
that labors for their reform are in
vain. They came almost to the aci
of murder when making their escape.
The head plumber at the institution,
Mr.. Charles W. Kuepps, was doing
some work at the pumping station
along the Juniata river and had for
bis assistants three prisoners. The
pumping station is not over q hun.
dred yards from the prison eDclos-
ures. At an oprortune moment the
three boys pOunced upon the unsus
pect;ng guard, tied securely bis
hands and feet, gagged his mouth
and then robbed him of his coat and
revolver. In the pump house there
is well about forty feet deep, con
tanning anywhere from sixteen to
eighteen feet of water. To pitch his
body into the well is what they had
fully decided to do. but the plead
ings of the gagged guard finally pre-
vailed and the brutes were content
with throwing him into little recess
behind the pump, from where they
knew he could not free himself for a
long time.
With Knepps securely tied in the
pump.house, the prisoners started up
the RIVER Another guard with a
squad of boys working on the front
lawn, saw the fleeing boys. but he
could not lesve those in charge of hin. {.
and he gave en- alarm by firing sever
al shots from his gun. The fugitives
would not stop however, but cOntin-
ued tteir flight to the dam about a
half mile west of the institution. Sit.

er side. At the landing they stole
the hat from the head OF a little boy
named Gorsuch and then ascended
the high rocks to make their escape
by overland route.

MANY people ask us TO explain what is
TO means. They are figures of weight.
by the mint act of 1894, which. except rs
every owner of gold bullion and of silver
bullion was permitted to take it to the
mint In unlimited quantities and have it
coined, free Of expense, except for refining
and for the alloy used. into silver dollars
and gold eagles and fractions of an ea gle
at the rate of sixteen times as many dol
lars for a given weight of gold rs for an
equal weight of silver That is to say,
while 33 - grains of pure gold went to the
dollar in gold, ~ grains of pure silver
Were required for Il silver dollar. With
the alloy added, it took 25.S grains OF
standard gold for the dollar in gold, and
4l214 grains of standard silver for the sill
yer dollar. The provision Of this law. as
to silver, was repealed in 1873, and this
provision the slvcrites now demand to
have re-cnacted.
AS matter of fact, an ounce of silver
was worth in the markets of the world,
from 1884 to 1873 more than onc-sixteenth
of an ounce of gold. the rate in Europe he
ing at the rate of 1o19 to1. Consequently,
our silver coin was exported rs fast as it
was coined, gold became the only coin in
circulation, and in 1858 small change be-
came SO scarce that congress authorized
silver halves and quarters of n dollar to
be coined, on government account cxclu-
sively, of less weight than the proportion
ate parts of the full dollar, so that two
halves and four quarters contained only
3Si grains Of standard silver, instead of
4l214 grains.
At the present moment the market
value OF silver bullion relatively to that Of
geld bullion is as about 81 to 1. That is
to say, one ounce of gold is exchangeablo
in the market for thirty-one ounces of sill
yer. Hence, If the law of 1884 relating to
silver We're re-enacted the dollar would
sink in value very nearly one-half, because
under free and unlimited coinage silver
coin would be worth not more than silver
bullion The reason that the silver dol
lars now in circulation remain equal in
value to dollars in gold is that the quan-
tity Of them is limited, and they are re-
ceived by The government on the same
footing rs gold in payment for dnties and

The candidate fairly represents the sem
