His Mission.

His Mission.
The MINING JOURNAL denies it admitted
the rate for hauling coal to Baltimore is 81. II
By that denial it leaves the public to infer
that the rate is even less, which is not SO. If
the JOURNAL does not know the rate it has no
business to pose as the receptacle Of all
knowledge pertaining to coal mining. - Uncle
Sam.
The JOURNAL is obliged for the hint,
but as Uncle Sans own figures furnish.
ed the basis for the SLIT rate, it is
responsible for whatever error may be
involved.
But the question of freight rate is
really not before the court, except
that SLIT is gross absurdity and
$1.95 a grosser one.
The JOURNAL knows that $22S IS
the wholesale price of this coal in
Baltimore. and that if the owners are
paying $l.95 freight, they are not
getting by II cents a ton enough to
pay the miner for digging it.
But if 81 95 be the figure, as Uncle
Sam still contends, then the onus of
demonstration to the contrary result
rests upon him.
Although he says
The profound JOURNAL, bowed down with
the weight of wisdom far even beyond its
years, is surely equal to the task know |
am but callow youth. and hardly fit for
such grave and learned discussion, but
am fain to learn, and would, learning, be
wise also
The JOURNAL doubts it. Uncle SANS
business is to do his level best to learn
without growing wise. He is here to
be the author of paradox and the dis

WHERE IS HEAVEN?
Evangelist Moody Does Not
Consider it's Location an I'm
portant Matter.

perhaps the first question
that presents itself regarding
Heaven is its location" writes
Evangelist Dwight l.. Moody in
the November Ladies' Home
Tonynak. "For my part, l am
not satisfied with the vagueness
that describes my future home
as everywhere and nowhere. l
read that the Master promised
His Disciples an abode in His
Fathers mansions, whittier He
was going to prepare them a
place, and in the Revelation the
Apostle John described the
wondrous beauties of the City
of God. The Evangelist Luke
tells us that Christ ascended
from the little group of His
Disciples as they followed Him
out toward Bethany. and that
while they stood gazing up into
Heaven there appeared unto
them two messengers to cheer
them with the promise of His
coming again. And SO it is with
the child of God when the earth>
ly pilgrimage is over, the soul
ascends to those mansions which
Christ has gone on before to
prepare for those who love Him.
The location of Heaven is not
All important matter. Christ said
very little about its situation,
but great deal about its being
with God. To be sure God is
everywhere, but Heaven is His
Home, it is the Fathers house
1t is not the home stead that
makes home the most attractive
place on earth, but it is those
who live there. And so it will
be with Heaven.

began his hermit life. In the
early days he followed the voca-
ton OF hunter and trapper, and
made considerable money out OF
the sale of furs and hides.
When the wild game became
scarce he devoted himself to
stock raising and agriculture.
He laid up money each year and
added TO his landed possessions
until he now has a farm Of
o,ooo acres, one half of which is
under cultivation.
! Several years ago he replaced
his log cabin with a new resi-
dence. 1t is situated Oh n hill
IN the center of his tract of land,
and Is unique i'll construction
and arrangement. 1t is built
with bamboo rods. intertwined
SO as to make many kinds of
pretty figures. These rods are
nailed to the framework OF the
house. The roof is thatched
with reeds. The house has
seven large looms, all hand
sornely furnished. The floors
are all of hard wood, stained,
and covered with furs and rugs
OF great value.
One of the rooms is used as a
library and is filled with several
hundred volumes of choice
books and the latest magazines.
"Uncle" Jacob is a great reader
and spends much of his time in
his library. He always has per
formed all of his household du-
ties, even cooking his own
meals There are few persons
who ever crossed the threshold |

any one as far as is known. 1t

METEORIC SHOWER
The Coming of Stars And Rain
of Fire.

The astronomers LOOK Tor the
next great meteoric shower on
the morning of November IS,
1899. They calculate that the
earth will then pass ag IN
i through the centre OF an I'M
Hense swarm of meteoroldS. as
III y afe called before com bust
/ ion. These great "l.conldc Star
Showers" as they are called,
occur at intervals OF every 80
y ars and one day. The great
shower of I709 occurred on Nov
ember IL, that of 1888 Oh Nov
elnber 13; that Of 1866 OH Nov>
clnber III, aid consequently,
repetition of the next wonderful
phenomena is expected OH the
morning of November IS, 1899.
In the mean while, however,
as the aggregation Of meteoro,ds
is of immense length, one end of
it will encounter the earth i'll
1903 and the other in 1899, max
ing, as Prof. Lewis Swift, the
distinguished astrorner, of Ro
chester, N. Y, says, considerable
showers in those years also. Not
only this, but it is stated OH the
same authority that many fore
runners of the great shower may
be expected to come within the
earths atmosphere Oh November
IA, 1897, because many of the
meteoroid DIS are always considers
ably III advance Of the main
cluster. Professor Swift says
1.-The thickness of the meteoroidal
stream is 100000 miles, and the
duration of the shower is equal
to the time of the diagonal pass |
age of the earth through it,
usually from midnight to dawn
He adds: GAS there is light
shower of I.eonides every Nov
ember, we know that there is a
vast ring formed by the comets
tail, and that the immense shoal
in one portion is the produce of
the exploded comet itself,
through which we pass once
every thirtythree years and a
day"
The meteoroids are dark bodies
and it is only when they pass
into the earth's atmosphere that
they are ignited by friction and
become visible for a few seconds.
The stream makes a revolution
around the sun in about 354
years, and Ivy consequence the
earth passes through it in new
place each year. Ihe length OF
the swarm is so enormous that
although in perihelion it moves
at the rate of nearly IS miles a
second, yet it takes it two years
to pass the earth, SO that when
its hirder part is still with us
its advancing side will have
reached the orbits of Jupiter
and Saturn. Notwithstanding
this extent, it is but a fraction
OF the entire orbit. Professor
Swift says: This great cluster
will reach the earth's orbit about
June 1, 1899, but the earth will
not have arrived there then, but
will be due nearly six months
later, when our planet will plunge
in the the swarning mass. and
for at least FIVE hours We
shall experience a literal rain of
fire."

Antonio, Texas.
"Uncle Jacob" as he is called,
has been on the hunt for a wife
only two weeks, but he already
is flooded with applications.
He enjoys the diversion and
reads closely every letter he re-
ceives, but as yet has not found
the kind of young lady his heart
is yearning for. He says that
nearly every application received
SO far has too much of a business
tone to it. He wants the young
lady whom he is to marry to
offer him her love. He is going
to keep up the search until he
gets the right one. He hopes
to get wife by Christmas time.
Tomlinson is a peculiar chars
acter. He has one of the most
beautiful homes in Mission
Valley, a rich section of country
northwest of San Antonio, Tex.
He made his first appearance in
Mission Valley fifty years ago,
and settled upon 100 acres of
land. He built a comfortable
log cabin home and lived all
alone. He was a handsome man
at that time, and still retaius
much of the fine looks Of his
younger days despite his old
age.
He had a number of single
handed encounters with Indians,
who made attacks on his home,
and the slaughter which he in
variably made On these occasions
gave him reputation for brav>
cry IN that heighborhood, and
ultimately caused the rowing
bands of Indians to leave him
severely alone. He made few
acquaintance, even in those pi-
onee- days. He has continued
to live the life of a recluse ever
since.
He makes occasional visits to
San Antonio for his mail and
