The statement will doubtless go abroad that San Francisco wanted a carnival week but was not able to subscribe the 2O,OO0$ or 25,OO0$ the diversion was ex- pected to cost. A preliminary passing of the hat only made a showing of about I4,00O$. The other 10,000$ caused the collapse of the project. While a con- suming desire for a week of frolic has never been manifested, there would have been no trouble about raising 25, ,000$ had the carnival had right of way. But op- portunities to give away a little money have been provokingIy frequent of late. There were the Armenian sufferers, the victims of the India famine, subscrip- tions to the Christian Endeavor fund !, and finally our own unemployed. The subscribers to one fund are expected to subscribe to all funds, and the prospect became alarming. The unemployed were generally regarded as the best en- titled to relief, and no one will say that the decision was not wise. The carnival will doubtless go over for a year. The advance agent of prosperity will have arrived in the meantime, and the people will be in a mood for enjoyment. Just now our thoughts are turned with con- siderable steadiness upon the problem of making living.-S. F. Bulletin.

Old Documents Found.

A dispatch says that many documents bearing the handwriting ot George Wash ington, William Penn and King George have been unearthed hy workmen em pioved in remodelIing the Westmore- land county, Pa, court house. The pa pers were found in an old chest which had been stored way in garret. Among them are records as to slaves belonging to Washington; the boundaries and grants of Indian lands One document tells about his selling the property of John Jones in 17S6 for debt of G28 8s and 61. Public documents and letters with the signatures of King George III and William Penn were also unearthed Several interesting letters from Penn show his vague ideas of the region west of the Fort Pitt, since in alluding to the Mississippi river he styles it "The river that drain the great lakes" Other rec ords written by men of rank, both in the colonies and England, were found, but many of these are defaced and unde- cipherabIe. The documents will be turned over to the state.

Goqceqtrati6q 6f Wealth.

The eloquent Patrick Henry said : "We can only judge the future by the past 1" Let us look at the past When Egypt went down, two per cent of her population owned ninety seven per cent. of her wealth. Her people were starved to death. When Babylon went down, two per cent. of her population owned all the wealth. The people were starv- ing to death. When Persia went down, one per cent of her population owned all the land. When Rome went down, 1900 men owned all the known world. There are 10000 900 people Tn England, Ireland and Wales, and 100000 people own all the land in the United Kingdom For the past twenty years the United States has rapidly followed in the foot steps ot these old nations. In 1850 the capitalists owned 371a per cent of the nations wealth in 1890 they owned 83 per cent. About a year ago the Chicago Tribune published list of 200 Chicago capitalists who had within the fifteen years accumulated 506,OOO OOO$ of the peoples wealth. Out of l, 100000 people living in New York City, 1,300,000 dwell in tenement houses Washington Postal Record.

She Forest Reseroes.

The President has decided to take no action in the matter of revoking or modi-
 flying the order of MT. Cleveland setting aside twenty -one forest reserves in the West, until he ascertains whether con- gress will legislate on the subject. It is the general understanding now that the Senate will tack an amendment to the general deficiency appropriation bill en- towering the President to modify or re
 yoke this order There is said to be a legal qu3stion as to the Presidents power under existing law to make revocation of an order of his predecessor. MT. Me Kinley indicated to Representatives Lewis and Jones, of Washington, who called on him relative to this subject, that he would await this proposed legis- lation It is not his intention then to revoke the order, but to modify it by ex- cepting from it's provisions all mineral entered or subject to entry, and all lands not strictly mineral lands -SiIver Knight

Bryan and Immortality.

The following tribute to the souls inn mortality by w. J. Bryan is part of an address on the death of friend. It is a gem and worthy of preservation.
 ''If the Father designs to touch with divine power the cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn and make it burst forth from it's prison walls, will he leave negligent the soul of man, who was made in the image of the Creator? If he stoops to give to the rose bush whose withered blossoms float upon the autumn breeze the sweetest assurance of another springtime, will He withhold the words of hope from the souls of men when the frosts of winter come. If matter, mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of nature into multitude of forms, can never die, will the spirit of man sui fer annihilaton after it has paid brief visit, like royal guest, to this tenement of clay? Rather let us believe that He who IS His apparent prodigality wastes not the raindrop, the blades of grass or the evenings signing zephyr, but makes them all to carry out His eternal plans, has given immortality to the mortal and gathered to Himself the generous spirit ot our friend"

Grants Achievement as PeaeemaBer

The honors and attentions showered upon General Grant during his tour of the world are, perhaps, unequaled in the history of kingly hospitality He was received everywhere as the greatest sol dier of his time and as the foremost liv- ing American Hon. John Russell Young, who accompanied General Grant throughout the famous journey, graph ically recalls, in the May Ladies' Home Journal, it's conspicuous incidents; the receptions, dinners, fetes, balls, etc, given in honor of the illustrious Ameri- can. It is said that Mir. Young brings to light a fact that has received but passing attention that General Grant was instru. mental in arranging the terms of treaty of peace between China and Japan, which prevented an outbreak of war be. tween those nations.

The young lady in the sable cloak rushed into the telegraph office and rap ped sharply on the counter with the ink stand. The clerk came forward to see what she wanted this time. "Oh," she said, "let me have that telegram I wrote about fifteen minutes ago. I forgot something very important. I wanted to underscore the words perfectly lovely in acknowledging the receipt of that bracelet. Will it cost anything extra T" "No, ma'am," said the clerk, as he handed her the message.
 The young lady drew two heavy lines beneath the words, and said: "It's awfully good of you to let me do that. It will please Charley so much" Don't mention it," said the clerk. eff you would like 1 will put few drops of nice violet extract on the telegram at the same rates." "Oh, thank you, sir.

The Jerome Reporter says there is a striking example of how prospecting is usually done by fellows who get ''grub stake" and strike out in the fall to eat it up, in the incident that was brought to light few days ago near Prescott. A gentleman, while examining a deserted claim, took it into his head to put in a few holes and see what was in the bottom of an old cross-cut, and his curiosity was rewarded by seeing before him vein of rich looking ore, which by horn spoon test will run about sos. Why such a streak of ore was never followed up would be a mystery to any one who did not know the habits of the majority of the prospectors, but most likely the beans gave out and the man who might have made a fortune by few more hours work, took himself off to pastures new.

The famous Vulture mine formerly owned by ex Senator Tabor was sold last week by the sheriff to satisfy judg ments secured against the unlucky own CT. The old property added to the wealth of the country over 16,000, ,000$, and will go into new hands and will be worked with new vigor with the advan tages of the latest appliances tor treating the ores. The mine was located in the eos and was worked for years under many disadvantages encountered by mining men in those days of Indian warfare, exhorbitant prices for produces and supplies, besides the cost of man- tanning small army of men to protect the operators from the Indians. Aside from this the ore had to be hauled dis tance of 12 miles to site where water was obtainable for milling purposes. The mine at the present time IS in a very dilapidated condition. An old 80 stamp mill, an antIquated hoist and few other
 
 was the biggest mine in the state of Ari- zona. The deserted buildings used by the inhabitants of the camp in the eos and the old plant at the mine mark the spot where at one time fourlshed the great Vulture camp. The solid nature of the formation is such that no timbering was necessary. The mine has only been developed to vertical depth of 300 feet. It is said that the new owners will at once erect 100 ton cyanide plant to treat the tailings dump, which aggre- gates fully 3OO,OOO tons, and at the same time new shaft will be sunk and in reality new mine opened up. Senator Tabor. one of the former owners is now in the hills of Colorado prospecting and mining.-WesternM Mining World

4 Word of Warming.

Among the hundreds attracted this season by the richness of our far north western gold fields, there will, it is great ly feared, come many who, trusting to luck, will be but lilly prepared to tide over the alarming provision shol tage ex istence in the interior. It is difficult to understand why these people do not fully inform themselves of the conditions, and either come prepared to meet them, or if unable t, do so, remain away, but the glamour of gold so blinds them to the consideration of all else that they rush in not only to suffer hardships and privations, but to bring additional hard ships upon those already on the ground and who in humanity will be forced to share their scanty stores. It remains only to warn all of the existing condi tions and urge the necessity for taking abundant supplies-enough to carry them through year. We are not alarmists we would not seek to deter the coming ot single prospector to the gold fields of this country, but in justice to themselves as well as those already braving the ter TOTS of hunger we insist that all who come should come amply prepared to stay without becoming a burden upon the country or in any way bringing ad- ditional hardship to those already in hard straights. Every man who crosses the summit with an inadequate provision outfit becomes a menace to the welfare of the people of the interior. Even cash cannot procure provisions there; they must be taken in and that to in liberal quantity. By no other means can this suffering be averted Alaska Mining Record.
