HIS PUBLIC

The public requests OF the late JOHN
L. TRoUP are notable.
More often than not men of means con-
fine their philanthropic interest to one or
two organizations or institutions of char
ity or benevolence and on their departure
from life some one or two such are
especially remembered where others
equally worthy and demanding quite as
much OF a warm heart and a full purse
are not "mentioned. There Is, Of course,
in this no real disadvantage to any
worthy institution. 1t is In human
nature to make favorites and while one
institution may have the advantage Of
the support OF one rich man some other
institution will be equally blessed by the
interest of another rich man. II some
times seems as IL our charitable interest
runs in fads, that there is a burst OF phil
anthropy in favor of some particular BEN
eficiary for whose interests we are all,
for a time, especially moved to exert our
selves. Perhaps the situation as between
the Cruelty to Children Society and the
Cruelty to Animals Society in this town,
illustrates this tendency, the former
organization in recent years appearing to
moncpolize sn unduly large share OF pub
lie beueticence somewhat to the neglect
OF the other association, which, in itself,
was formerly something OF a charitable
"rsge." But in the long run these
seeming determinations are averaged up
pretty fairly between the different or
CARNATIONS according to their worth and
the size Of their sphere Of effort.
Mr.. 1RouP's will however, Is notable from
the very vice distribution of tidy sum OF
money. Exactly 10 institutions or associa-
tions Of charity or benevolencs are re-
membered, each with the same bequcst-
$500. In addition to this, the splendid
sum Ct 525, 900 is given to the Rhode
lsland Hospital, for q specific purpose, TO
be sure, but that purpose most literally
expressed and very likely not without con-
suhation with the hdlpital authcriiic, as
to how a boquest could be u most advan-
tnge 20 the Institution. And In this con-
motion the opinion may be safely express

Adventures Of Three Miners Who Were
Caught b. AN Avalanche.

/. +. Williams, ono Of the officers of
the Red Hill Mining company. has just
received a letter. dated the 7th, from
their agent at Leavenworth. which gives
an account Of a snowslide which occur
red at Red Mountain a few days ago.
The writer says:

Red Hill came back. On the morning
Of Dec. 80, about 0 o'clock, they were
swept away by q snowslide, which de-
molished tho building in which they
were sleeping and buried them in 90
feet of snow, and but for the substan-
tial chimney they would have perished.

chance was able TO get ont. He fortu-
nately was near the chimney, and man.

After he had sufficiently recovered they
started in TO dig out Mckenzie. They
could hear him meaning, and with the
appliances at hand it took three hours
to reach him. he was In ,ad shape,
and has not fully recovered yet.
They We're scantlly dressed, ana
were compelled to tunnel to the ruins
and get their clothing. They worked all
day in their stocking feet, until the
clothing was found. They remained two
days after the slide, found all the pro
visions and stored them in the cellar.
at took them eight days to come
down to L~eavenworth. They said it was
only wasting money to try and work in
the mine. as they could not make salts

three feet every day. One slide covered
up the work, and'it took two days TO
get through it. The slides would cover
up the work as fast as it was uncovered,
and they concluded TO abandon il. Tho
slide filled up the creek to a depth Of 60
or 70 feet, and only the tail end Of the
slide struck them. SPOKANE Spokes-

A Crazy Bear.

Long Wow asylum is ono Of the best
known in the central west. just now it
has in one Of its strong wards a patient,
unruly, vicious and exceedingly violent,
under treatment.
1t is doubtful IL ever before in any
insane asylum such a patient was ad-
mitted. The suffering one is a big black
bear, the property of Charles Smith, one
OF Long Vows directors.
The bear il as crazy as any %lunatic,
due to a case Of fever, and will receive

THE PINGREE BANQUET.

The night OF the seventh nnual ban
quet OF the Rhode Island Business Men's
Association has been and gone. 1t was
an enjoyable time on the whole aud some
what more amusing than the six previous
annual banquets because those events
were not presided over ny Billy knight.
But the president made up for the Husi-
ness Mems Associations lost opportunity
saturday evening and 1t was a proud n
happy momen in his qu%asi-public career
when he stood shoulder TO shoulder with
Mayor HAGEN s.. Pingree OF Detroit and
received the 100 holders Of supper tickets.
After President knight had smiled 100
times, and Detroit's executive had said
''tlowdo" with simultaneous frequency,
the wink was given to Representative
George A. Littleield, the secretary OF the
Il !. y. M. A., and that hard working and
always enthusiastic gentleman began 10

COMING TO THEIR SENSES,

During and after the recent national the silver senators would be dogs in the manager to the last, and that they would never suffer any tariff legislation to go through that didn't have a free silver rider on it. It now appears that these silver senators have been thinking strange as that may seem to those who have watched their antics The latest plan attributed to them is rather sen- sible one, both for them and the coun- try. It is represented that while they will oppose tariff legislation at this ses- sion on the ground that the Republi- cans might shirk responsibility for it. they will not continue their opposition after the 4th of March On the con- trary they will, it is said, gladly give their help to the Republicans then in passing whatever tariff law the latter may desire in order that, when pros perity fails to follow the law in the measure predicted, they may be able to argue more strongly than ever that free silver is what the country really needs. They are reported as recogniz- ing that continued obstructive tactics may do their cause great harm.
 There is no doubt that continued ob- struction by the silver senators would react strongly on them and their cause. They will do well to take rest and give the country a rest. If things don't turn out to suit them they can have the satisfaction of knowing that they have not stood in the way of the country's prosperity.

Highway Commission.

(trom the Hartford Telcgram,)
 The highway commissioners have submitted to Governor Coffin their first report, embracing what Slgnor Man tilini would call "the demnition total" of the initial years results in good and scientific road building.
 It is a good and satisfactory report, The people have had ocular demonstra- tion all over the State of how the mon- ey has been spent. and are jubilant over the investment, Competent civil engineers and practical road makers have told us over and over again that the State grant has been well and eco- nomically used. There is every evi- dence that the men in charge of the de- partment know their business, and have been faithful and unfagging in the discharge Of their duties.
 And right here we take the opportu- nifty of saying that this same highway commission is the very best State com mission that Governor Coffin has ap- pointed. No one has made a single complaint against them; everybody who has had dealings with the office or with individual commissioners has been squarely and honorably treated; every township and borough that took the trouble to share in the grant has been taken care of. The office has been open every working day of the year. The public and the press have at all times had access to books, plans, maps and every reasonable information. There has been no mystery, no con- cealment It is a model department. The Hartford Telegram was heart and soul with the highway act, It has watched closely and carefully the oper- ation of the act, and it cheerfully gives its testimony to the zeal and efficiency of the commissioners under whose di- rection the department has been man. aged. It matters not what these gen tlemens politics are. They may be Popocrats, Populists. Prohibitionists, Democrats or Republicans; the fact re- mains they are good and faithful ser wants of the State.

We print in another column on this page the hearty and just tribute paid the State Highway commission by the Hartford Telegram. What it says is the plain and pleasant truth. The commission has been shining success, And it is not detracting from the merits of any other member of it to say that much of its efficiency and success has been due to the planning and the work of the chairman of it, James H. Macdonald of this city. He is just the man for the place. Those who have known with what zeal and skill he has worked have rejoiced that the good roads movement in this State has had such competent and inspir- ing leader and director. He and those who have worked with him are well en- titled to the approval of all who realize what good roads mean and of all who realize the value of faithful public ser vice.
