WHITE LACE BABY.
Deserted by Its Mother and Left In
Church.


Joseph Long, sexton of st. Francis
Xavier's church, in New York, went to
his supper at 5 o'clock On a recent aft
ernoon, leaving the doors Of the church
open. He returned at o'clock and was
met at the foot Of the steps leading into
the church by two well dressed women,
who told him that somebody had left a
baby under the stone steps.
The sexton walked down stairs, and
in a corner Of the vestibule of the chap
Ell found a little bundle Of white cloth
ing, which he found contained a baby
about one week old.
The infant was handed over to a pO-
liceman, who took it to the West Thir-
tieth street station. The matrOn found
nothing in the baby's clothing which
might serve as a Clew 10 its identity.
The infant was handsomely dressed
1t was wrapped in a white flannel coat
heavily trimmed with expensive lace
Under that was a white lace dress so
fine that the undercIothing could be seen
through it. A hand worked wOrsted
hood covered the little baby girls head
Little wOrsted shoes and fine merino
stockings covered its little feet. New

CROSSING TEQUENDAMA CATARACT.

were extraordinarily daring and skillful
and have astounded the spectators by their
deed of proves. History tells us that in
1885, upon the entrance of Isabel of Ba-
varia into Paris, a GenOese allowed him
self to slide, singing. from the tops of the
towers of Notre Dame to the Point de
Change over which the queen passed and
entered through an opening in the blue
tatfeta sown with golden flowers deluxe
with which the bride was covered. After
having placed crown on young Isabels
head, the equilibrist continued his aerial
journey. When it was nearly night, the
Genoese assembled to the towers, carrying
lighted torch in each hand which must
have caused singular appearance from
distance, and doubtless gave rise to more
than one story Of fantastic apparitions.
If history has preserved for US through
five centuries the tradition of this descent
from the towers of NOtre Dame to the Point
de Change as marvellous feat, what can
we say of BlOndin and his imitators, es-
pecially of Warner, who has dared not
only on a wire to cross the cataract of Nj
agara, but has just performed the wonder
full feat Of crossing the terrible abyss of
Tequendama on rope?
Inc crossing or Niagara gave BlOndin a
universal reputation, he being the first to
try this daring act, but if considered con
scienttously, that is nothing compared
with the crossing Of Tequendama, for the
conditions of the two cataracts are quite
different. At Niagara an acrobat who be-
came dizzy and lost his equilibrium would
fall into waters that are perfectly tranquil
and very deep, circumstances which, taken
in connection with the fact that the fall
would not be more than about 100 feet,
would give the equilibrist the assurance of
salvation, for he would not encounter
rocks, and, if he knew something Of swim
ming, he would rise to the surface and
swim to one of the banks or to a boat
which would land him safely
AT Tequendamaa all the conditions of the
abyss are against the equilibrist, who in
case he experiences the slightest dizziness
and falls, would be very certain of break
ing his neck, for he would fall into
| a raging torrent from the terrible height
| of 479 feet! What would be the size of the
| largest fragment of the acrobat that could
be picked up at the bottom of such an
abyss2

A REMARKABLE FEAT.
Crossing the Cataract of Tequendams, In
BOgOta a Rope.

Scientific American prints a series of
pictures, taken from photographs, of a
most remarkable feat performed by Mr..
Harry Warner a Canadian equilibrist, in
Bogota.
The plain of Bogota is so miles long.
The river Funga traverses the plain in
a sOuthwesterly direction to Tequendama,
whore, through gap not over 36 feet in
width, it leaps over a rocky ledge upward
= 800 feet high, forming one of the most
magnificent cataracts on the globe, and
thence PUSHES down to join the Magdalena.
The height of this precipice is so great that
the inhabitants of Bogota were terrified
by the daring and audacious act of Mr..
Warner, who crossed the abyss of the Te-
quendama in imitation of the act of Blon-
din at Niagara.
From the remotest antiquity there have
always been equiibrists many of whom

CARNAHAN AT WILLOW CREEK
An Ogden Man Who Is Interested In
Idaho Mines.

DR.. J. D. Carnahan of Ogden came
in from Willow Creek yesterday and
went on to his home by the afternoon
train, says the Statesman Of Boise,
Ida. The doctor is one of the own
ers of the Chackmate. He reports that
work was progressing nicely on the
property and that developments were
satisfactory. They had a porphyry
feotwall for some 40 feet. AS seems TO
be the case in every instance in which
porphyry constitutes the footwall, the
value of the ore was lower than the
average The work has left the Dor-
phyry, however, and the grade of the
ore now being found is as high as that
formerly taken out
DIR. Carnahan's immediate object in
visiting the camp at this time was to
inspect the Sacramento in which he IS
an owner In this claim, at depth of
80 feet, they have Is inches OF ore
averaging S45 A trial lot of the ore
is to be sent in to the Steen mill for
determining how it will work. Plans
for DEVELOPMENT of the property depend
largely uron the result of this test.
The doctor said the Dewey people had
built an ore house on the Judas, which
was a good indication that they nave
something He was informed that ore
was being sacked and stored in the
cldmDSr at Tie -VV-AOOl ACNCi. liz Se'4o
he thought the Judas would be found
TO dip against a certain porphyry dyke.
and that this would be the footwall
below. In his opinion, if the porphyry
proves TO be the hangingwalr at the
greater depth, the vein will be strong
and rich.
Speaking of the appearance OF the
camp as a whole, DR.. Carnahan said 1t
was very good. In fact, he said, if such
q showing were made anywhere else
the mining world would be in a state
of crazed excitement over it.

AN ANSWER TO ELLIOT.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The state de-

charges preferred against Commits

Henry j. Elliot in his letter TO Assist

says:
Professor Elliot is not now, nor has
he been Cor several years past, con-
nected with the Smithsonian Institute.
or any department of the government
In 1890. he made a report upon the seal
islands as an agent of the treasury de-
partment, but it was full of inaccurate
statements, betrayed such want of
scientific knowledge, was so hostile to
the interests of the United States. and
was written in such a prejudicial spirit
that Secretary Blaine declined TO send
it to congress or allow 1t to be printed
From that date Professor Elliot
ceased to have any connection with the
government. and the officials say he has
lost no opportunity to attack every step
taken by it on the subject and to abuse
all persons having any relation TO seal
ing matters. His report was printed by
the British government, and presented
by the British conferees before the
Paris tribunal"

CASE OF DOCTOR ANDREWS.
Dean Wayland Takes a Hand In the
Game.

Providence. r. L. Aug. 1O.-H. A.
Wavland OF Kansas City. dean of
Brown university. has addressed a.
lengthy communication to Professor
Clarke and other members of Brown
university, in reply to the latter's open
letter TO the corporation. IN it men
ton is made of President Andrews res
ignation, and the issues at stake. Con-
tinuing, he says:
The real questions involved are. I
think, threefold:
First, has any instructor. minister.
an editor. the president of a bank or
of a college, a right to use his position
to give currency and authority to his
views without being open to sugges-
ton from those who have placed him in
his position?
L regret that the president. by his
resignation, seems to say:
:" 1 regard my views as of such i'm
portance that nothing can induce me to
forbear the expression of them
1T is stated that DR.. Andrews is to
engage in an educational enterprise. to
be endowed and controlled by John
Brisbane Walker. If it should chance
in the future that the views of DR.. An
drews should diverge from those of Mr..
Walker. will Mr.. Walker entertain the
opinion which the president now cher
ishes to independence?
Second, was the occasion such as to
justify the request of the corDoration2
The chief Justice of the Hawaiian
Islands recently said: THE advocates Of
free coinage in the islands were told
that the weight OF intelligence and the
integrity of the American people were
against their views. They never failed
to reply: Is not Brown university an
institution of high standing? Its presi-
dent is with us
Third, was there any want of cour-
tesv in the manner in which. the COR
poration conveyed their suggestions to
the president? The suggestion that is
in the air about the president being
forced out is as groundless as the as
sertion that his independence is COM
promised

AT THE ONTARIO MINE.
Quite Number of Men Still at Work
Underground.

Park City, Aug. 1O.-There are more
men yet working at the Ontario mine
than are credited by the current ru-
mors. No. 2 is not closed, there being
three shifts of six men each. Several
blacksmiths and machinists are en-
ployed in the shops. No. 3 is still work
ing 40 men, while the drain tunnel has
seven. The pumps on the 1900 level at
No. 2, together with 500 feet of water
pipe, will be taken out soon. It was
used to pump water from the stump at
the bottom of the shaft. The company
has on hand at No. 3 about 400, 900 feet
of mining timber, a sufficient supply
if the mine was in operation, to last
all winter. 1t is given out on reliable
authority that William S. Tolles will
look after the mine after the close

have completed q years service for the
Ontario company on the 22nd of this

of the Constellation prospect hole,
which followed the vein down about so

Constellation people expect TO reach
the vein in drift from the 300 level of

been for the purpose of investigating
into the merits of the Pelatan Clerici
process of ore reduction, informs The
Herald that while the process is a sue
cess with some ores. he is satisfied with
the old cyanide process, as it is the in
tention of the Chloride Point company
20 employ it in connection with its new
mill.
While the Pelatan process is more
rapid, said Mr., Peyton. "it is a more
expensive system, and by it's use the
cyanide solution. employed is decom-
posed and rendered useless after once
being used. OF course the cyanide pro-
cess is slower, but with plenty of tank
age capacity, the cost Of treatment is
reduced to a minimum after the pulp
is once put into the tanks, where ii can
be leached as long as desired without
adding any more TO the cost of the OPP
Grafton
The Chlorides Point mill will have a
tankage capacity to start with of 100
tons daily. while the crushing capacity
will be 800 tons.
Surveyors will go out to the mine this
week for the purpose of laying out the
millsite, and excavation work will be-
gin within the next ten days, and 1t is
believed and expected that the plant
viii be ready for active and effective
work within four months from the day
that the first ground is broken in pre-
pairing for the foundations.
Part of the machinery has already
been contracted for and the balance
will be ordered from time to time, as
required, as tbs the intention of the
company to build the mill itself, so that
it will not be subjected TO vexatious de-
lays and unlocked for expenses.
Mr.. Peyton believes. that the delay in
the erection Of the plant has been TO
the advantage Of the company, as now
electricity will be used as a motive
power at the mill, instead of steam,
which fact will save the company con-
siderable, as now the mill will not be
equipped with boilers and engine.
The company is about to contract
with Mr.. Num- for electrical power,
which is to be delivered on the ground
by the time the mill is completed.
