OHIO RIVER HERMIT.
Picturesque Character Who Lives
ODpostte brownie IslanI

&AcSurebQue character Who Lives
Opposite Browns Island.
One of the most picturesque charac-
tiers along the Ohio river is Samuel Bur-
nell, the hermit, who resides in little
cabin on the West Virginia shore OPP
posite Browns island, which is south of
New Cumberland, w. Va. The cabin
overlooks one of the most picturesque
spots along the river. Burnell is a very
intelligent man of about IS years of age,
and he has resided in his present home
quarter of century. He is popular
with all who know him, and his cabin,
which is model of neatness, has many
visitors during the summer months.
Near his cabin is famous spring, and
the people who go out on hunting and
tfishing excursions from Steubenville
visit his cabin and get drink at the
spring.
Mr.. Burnell is a great reader, and
ne is we'll posted in politics and history.
He wears wooden shirt, is neat of ap-
pearance and enjoys good health. When
not feeling well he takes a hearty meal
of onions and goes to bed. He believes
that the best place for a man to live is
away from strife, and after residing in
New York city, Philadelphia, Boston
and Washington, and finding life there
to be nothing, but strife, he decided to
find place where he could live and die
in perfect peace. Hecame west to Pitts
hurgh, bought skiff and started down
the river, and when he landed at the
site of his present home he said:
This shall be my abiding place while
1 live." He built cabin, and his pres
ence attracted people to him who like
him.
The city people are delighted with
him, and all contribute to his personal
comfort. He is said to have stiff lit.
tie bank account. His living costs little,
as he has fish and game free and much
else in the way of food is given him.
He has taken care of the government
light at that point for years. for which
he is paid a neat salary. All references
to his past history he politely waves
aside, and his wishes in this regard
have been for q long time respected.
There are those who couple his name
with some love affair which lies too
deeply buried in his heart to become
| the subject of conversation.

GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-The Herald
says: Several of the leading directors
of the Canadian Pacific railway, who
are backed by unlimited English CAPT
tai and have the promise of liberal
rights from the Canadian government,
have organized an extensive mining
company, which promises TO eclipse
anything that was ever projected in
this country They will conduct min
ing operations and various transporta-
ton and trading enterprises on vast
scale in British Columbia, particularly
in the newly developed sections of
Alaska 1t is not unlikely that they
will open up sections of the great
Northwest.
This is the syndicate that Lieut..
Gov. Mcintosh. of the Northwest prov
ince. referred to when he returned to
New York from England. Mr.. Mcln-
tOsh at that time gave no details, but
said that some of the leading English
capitalists, including the Canadian Pa
cific directors. had decided to launch
a great enterprise for mining gold and
other minerals, and he also said that
very likely they would do some rail
road building and open up new ter
ritory. He assumed that the new road
would be operated in connection with
the Canadian Pacific.
1t is now definitely known that
President Van Horne, Lord Mount
Stephen and other influential directors
of that company, who are also inter-
ested in telegraph matters, will take
leading part in the new projects, and
besides the English capital, it is report
ed that John w. Mackay' and the
Rothschilds are interested. Whether
the latter are connected with the Ca
madam Pacific scheme could not yes
terday be definitely aSCertained, but
Mr.. Mackay's friends, it is reported.
have heard him speak Of a vast gold
mining scheme, in which fortunes are
likely to be made during the next few
years Mr.. Mackay is associated with
the directors of the Canadian Pacific
in one or two enterprises. The report
about Mr.. Mackay stated that he had
made prospects on a large scale in
various parts Of the United States, as
well as British Columbia. 1t was re-
ported that II. Maitland Kersey Amer
lean agent of the White Star line,
would resign his position to become
manager Of Mr. Mackay's company.

body. I made the experiments upon
myself, then upon members of my own
family, and lastly upon such patients
as were within the range of safe eX-
permentation. l inoculated myself
with the most virulent typhoid bacilli
obtainable, having first eradicated from
my system any predisposing cause for
the disease. The result was entirely
satisfactory, no evil ensuing beyond
the usual soreness as in vaccination.
Then I took into my system the
typhoid bacilli, and no typhoid fever

Incredible as it may seem, DR.. Powell
has not only survived the desperate
experiments that he has undertaken,
but has never. shown the slightest
signs of any i'll effects resulting from
them. The evidence regarding the

own written statements are backed up
by the testimony of many well-known
piysicans in whose presence DR.. Pow
ell has taken the germs into his system
during experiments that he has been
secretly making during the past ten
years.
DR.. Powell has decided that the time
has come for giving to the world the
result of his experiments, which he
claims have been a complete and I'M
qualified success. Here is the doctors
statement of the result of his defiance
of the power of germs:
