V cated south of the Ophir the bonanza mines, the Crown Point. Belcher and Consolidated Virginia. and no sudden fortunes like theirs from mining have ever been equalled in the world. Tn 1872 the -four bonanza kings took out over $54 100000 in caean profits from the Com stock lode. 1 have heard Penrod tell in Virginia City and Frisco many 0 time, while he sobbed how he had sold a sixth interest in that lode for a pitiful $5,OOO. He lived in Virginia City for years and was one of it's characters.
 Tn 1876 the limits of the Comstock lode were reached, Prospectors have tried for over twenty years to find 1t again among the hills and mountains of Nevada, but so far all in vain. or course, that lode, although broken and twisted. extends somewhere, and some day it may be relocated. There's no req son why it should mot be as rich else where as the mines in it have already been, and it may make another set of bonanza millionAires.

PRACTICAL GYMNASTICS.
Exercises Which Will Bring Color to the Pale
 Cheeks and Flesh on to Bones.


 Active gymnastics comprise walking, running, jumping, dancing, wrestling, swimming, etc. These develop the mus cles and strengthen the body and give After few months weak and delicate children become strong and sound in health and body, and heavy, indolent boys and girls become light and supple, Experience teaches us that one organ of the body should never be exercised to the detriment of the others. We see a proof of this every day. Look at dancers, for instance-how pronounced their legs are, and now thin and un- formed are their arms; and that, because only their legs have been duly exer- cised.
 A healthy womaln's gymnastics Should have in view only the perfection of her organism, by developing the beauty of her form ard tine grace of her move merits Walking, running and jumping are natural gymnastics. The hoop and skipping rope are excellent gymnastics fer children. But to give grace there Is nothing so good as dancing, and dancing cannot be taught too soon to children. They learn how to sit, stand move and walk gracefully, and these graceful hab- it's once acquired nothing can destroy.
 Dancing like running, much improves the shape of the legs, and keep down fate. When dancing days are over, therefore, would advise ladies to ex- ercise dancing steps in their room after their bath, and move their bodies to and fro, and from side to side, to retain the suppleness of their figure and keep obesity from the door. I could mention some ladies who have retained their youthful figure by skipping when none could see them. No corset must be worn, however, during skipping or jump ing Skipping, jumping, dancing and like exercises, will be found to be far more beautifying to the figure than tight-Iacing Jumping on the toes, danc- ing on the toes and walking on the toes will cure the deformity called fiat foot if persevensd in daily.
 i Never jump on the heels, ccmnfotion of the brain might ensue. Always jump on both feet together sprains frequent ly occur to those who try to jump only on one foot The trapeze-of course, low enough to be quite safe-is excellent for developing arms allu leSs.t IL diSo SiNeS strength and agility to the muscles There are as many as eighteen differ ent trapeze exercises, each one of which strengthens some part of the muscular system, and adds to its beauty.
 Medical or hygienic gymnastics success sively exercise every organ of the body, to complete their development, and keep them in health ard vigor. They also remedy defects, deviations and defornd- ties. In eases of general weakness. every muscle is exerc.sei; in cases of partial weakness of any part of the body the muscles of the opposite side are ex- ercised. Before beginning these exer- cises every part of clothing that inn pedes natural movement must be taken off. I repeat, no corset whatever must be worn. rssS.s~r-s
 Nothing, nl@persuaded. is more strengthening andeibeautifying to man or woman than rational gymnastic ex- ercises.u Sst A

To M. Fayol, an eminent French engi- neer, having in charge the coal mines at Commentry, is due the theory of the for nation of coal, claimed to be based on such facts and experiments as receive the support of scientific men-the mines in question being partly worked in the open air, have rendered it easy to olS- serve the relations of the different strata making up that region. It appearing at first that the pebbles constituting the pudding stones were formed of rocks whose place of origin was sometimes quite distant, and the coal being the result of vegetable debris laid down in horizontal layers, one above the other, the conclusion arrived at from these data assumed that a Mquid must have been necessary to transport and arrange in this way such different elements-coal, therefore, not having been formed in the place where now found, but is a product of transporta tion. It is urged that the climate of the coal epoch being very moist, abundant floods carried away trees and whole forests and swept them into basins, the trees thus forming great rafts of logs; the heaviest materials, gravel, sand, clays, were deposited in the order of their density, the lighter vege- table matter floating Longer and being deposited last. This, it is thought, ex- plains why the layers of the earth and coal are not parallel, and why all these layers, as has been observed in deltas, are inclined in the same direction and at different angles.

A new combination of steam engine and boiler is proposed by w. Schmidt, of Ballenstadt, Germany, the eonstruc- tion in this case being considered a val uable improv sment on that class in which the cylinder of fne engine is either partly or wholly arranged in the boiler. The objects aimed at and be- lieved to be accomplished is for a steam boiler and engine capable of yielding high effect, requiring repairs only at very long intervals and not neeessitating continual attention. Thes= advantages are attained by arranging the cylinder of the engine within the interior of the boiler, with the lower end projecting into the frs box. The cylinder serves as a. stay to the crown sheet. The en- zine is single acting and the valve is placed in the steam and water room of the boiler. Still further to secure eff1- cient results by means of this arrange ment there are provided, in addition to the heating surface furnished by the firsbox, number of drop tubes, which add very much to the steam general ing capacity of the boiler.

Georgia insane Asylum.

Milledgeville, Ca, Nov. 9.-The ne
gro section of the Georgia insane
asylum was burned to-day. There
were within the walls at the time the
fire broke out, inmates and all, over
seven hundred persons, but no lives
were lost. The group of buildings con-
stituting this section covered about four
acres. Portions of the section was
saved, but the major part was gutted.
The asylum water service was excel
lent, and was reinforced by engines
from the fire department of Macon,
thirty miles away, which were brought
here on special train. DR.. Powell,
superintendent of the asylum, estimates
the loss at about 100000, including
buildings and furniture, upon which
there is insurance of fifty per cent.
There were room enough in the other
buildings to temporarily care for those
who were dislodged by the fire. The
Legislature of Georgia is now in ses-
sion; and prompt relief will be granted
the asylum.

Detroit, Mich, November "a
special to the News from Sand Beach,
Mich, says: With her rudder gone and
northwest gale blowing forty miles an
hour, the steamer John c. Pringle is
drifting down the lake at the mercy of
the waves. The steamer with three
barges in tow, bound down, was mott
ced outside the harbor this morning
flying signals Of distress.
The tug boat Boynton, with the life
savers, went to her assistance. The
tug got a line to the disabled steamer
twice, but each time it parted. The
seas then became 50 heavy that the
Boynton was forced to give it up. The
life-savers are staying with the Pringle.
The barges are apparently all right,
and have sailed on down the lake.
The Pringle and tow are lumber laden.

Guldensuppe riurder.

New York, Nov. 10.-There was an
extraordinary turn of affairs to-day in
the Thorn murder trial in Long Island
City. Mrs Augusta Mack, who was
indicted together with her erstwhile
paramour, Martin Thorn, for the muir
der Of her former lover, William Gul-
densuppe, for whom she deserted her
legal husband, appeared in the role of
q States witness against Thorn, to the
CONSERVATION of the latter's lawyers.
Late last night William F. Howe,
Thorn's counsel, was awakened by a
messenger boy, who brought to him the
message that Mrs. Augusta Mack had
made full confession, duplicating
Martin Thorn as the murderer of Gull
densuppe, and that through her legal
adviser she had offered to turn States
evidence against her former lover.
Thorn was not told of the confession
until brought into court this morning.
When he heard Of it he showed evl-
dences of nervousness for the first time
since his arrest He soon regained his
compOsure, however, and while he
leaned forward and spoke to his law
yers, Mrs. Mack entered the court
room, accompanied by her lawyer and
a deputy sheriff. The woman passed
close to Thorn on her way to the dis
trict attorneys table, but while he
kept track Of her every movement she
avoided looking at him.

Tom DixOn's Choir Struck.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, IT,, the noted
New York preacher, has been in North
Carolina for the past week. He had
trouble il his church Sunday morning
when he returned to the city.
The chorus choir Of the Peoples
church, of which be is PASTOR consist
ing of about 90 singers, refused to sing
Sunday out of sympathy with Prof. Ag-
ramonte, their leader, because the
pastor last Sunday advocated the
election Of Seth Low for mayor. Prof.
Argamonte is Cuban and member
of the iunta. His son has been in a
Spanish prison on the island of Cuba
for two years. The Cubans say that
Seth Low was opposed to any interven-
ton of this country in Cuban affairs and
has stood against the cause Of Cuban
liberty since the outbreak of the last
war. Mr.. Dixon, in his sermon yes
terday said that he sympathized with
Prof Agramonte and had advocated
the voting for Low last Sunday only
because he stood the best chance for
election against Tammany. He was
opposed to Low personally'-Ex.

Gen, Julio SanguiIly.

Philadelphia, Nov, S.-The Press
will say tomorrow that General Julio
Sanguilly, the Cuban patriot, has re-
ceived an order from General Gomez
to report for duty in the insurgent
ranks. The order places him in most
embarrassing position. Sanguilly had
become an American citizen, and when
arrested IN Havana two years ago was
only released from Moro Castle on
pledging his word not to again take up
arms against Spain. Sanguilly gave
this pledge after much hesitation. Not
long afterwards General Gomez or
dered him to report for duty, but Sec
retary Sherman, it is said, informed
Sanguilly that if he did SO he would
forfeit his American citizenship.
The last note from Gomez is to the
effect that if Sanguilly, who is a major
general by commission from Gomez,
does not report by December TO- he will
be reduced to the ranks and discharged
without honor.

To StifIe Competition

Macon, Ca. Nov 9.-The hearing on
the petition of the Dunlap Hardware
Comgany, ct al, against the Southern
Railway, application for receivership,
viii take place before Judge Emery
Speer, in this city tomorrow. The peti-
ton alleges that the Southern Railway
Company, by its ownership and control
of the Central Railway, the Southwest
ern Railway, and the Georgia Southern
and Florida, is acting in direct conflict
with the constitution of the State of
Georgia, which prohibits the control
of one railroad by another for the pur-
pose ofstifling competition. The charge
is made that Macon's business is serious
ly impeded by the ownership of the
Southern. The petition asks that The
Southern Railway be perpetually en-
joined from the Contl0l Of these roads
and that a receiver be appointed to take
charge of the stock owned by the South
ern Railway in the competing lines.
Ex-senator George +. Edmunds, of
Vermont is counsel for the Southern
Railway Compay.

The GuIdensuppe Murder.

New York, Nov. 9.-Punctuality
seems to be the watchword of every
one concerned in the trial of Martin
Thorn; one of the alleged murderers of
William Guldensuppe, which began
Yesterday morning in the Queens
county court house.
Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning
District Attorney William J. Youngs,
his assistants and the lawyers for the
defense were in their places, and the
prosecutor began his opening address.
Martin Thorn, handcuffed to Captain
Mclven, and escorted by constable,
was brought into court few minutes
before the district attorney began
speaking. Twenty witnesses were sum-
moned for examination to-day, and the
district attorney took them one by one
Just as the finding OF the different por-
tons of the body opened up to the pub
lie the fact that q terrible crime had
been committed
At o'clock all the witnesses who
had been summoned to court for exam
ination had given their testimony, and
as there were no more available the
prosecution asked for an adjournment
until tomorrow morning. The court
gaanted the request. 1t is expected
that the greater part of the testimony
tomorrow will be that of an anatomi-
cal expert who will be produced by the
people to prove that the parts belong to
the same body, and also, if possible, to
prove the cause of death. The district
attorney believes that he can prove
these things to the satisfaction of the
jury, after which he intends to convince
the court and jurors that the headless
body which was so savagely dismem
bered is none other than that of the
missing bath rubber, William Gulden-
suppe.

marked casually that he had just come
from a long interview with his client,

through, and on coming out said:

Its tone is very pacific, and instead of

The cabinet also gave consideration
to the icebound Behring sea whaling
fleet. Two plans have been decided

weeks, and another to send the

was reached after the receipt Of a tele-
gram by Secretary Long from the com
mandant Of the Mare Island Navy

ioned at once and sent Immediately on
her mission. 1t is stated that there is
very good supply Of provisions at
Point Barrow, and another supply at
Herschel Island, also that at least
three vessels we'll supplied with pro-
visions will winter in the arctic. The

which are wanted for transportation,
