MARK TWAIN PENNILESs.
The Great Humorist Working Hard in
London to Pay off His Creditors.

London, February 13.-Few of Mark
Twain's many friends know of the
plucky fight he is making with adver-
sity, or how badly he has been used by
fortune. In word. Mark Twain, who
a couple of years ago thought himself
a rich man, is today worse than penni-
less. Since his return from Africa a
few months ago, he has been living in
very modest lodgings in London, going
nowhere and seeing but one or two
friends, working all day and every day
at a history of his trip around the
world. With the proceeds of this book
he hopes to be able to pay off his cred
itors and leave something for his fam
lily.
Mark Twain lost practically every
thing when Webster & Co. failed and
the lecture trip around the world which
he undertook with the hope of retriev-
ing his fortunes did nit turn out
financial success for him. So, over
sixty years of age, in poor health and
in a strange country, Americas great
est humorist is perhaps working harder
than ever before.

TO ALASKA IN A SMALL BOAT.

Down on the beach at the back of
Meiggs wharf George Ebert an old

MAKING PENS.

Pens are made by machines which
seem almost to think. The steel is
cut into ribbons as wide as the length
of one pen. and these are fed into
machines which cut out the blanks,
then fashion, stamp them, split the
points and place the makers name on
the backs. The pens are now complete
save the annealing. and this forms a
separate operation. After being an
nealed they are counted and placed in
boxes. A machine has been invented
for performing both these operations.

would not allow him to appear on the
stand. Miller, since the failure of the
bank, has been dong big business in
Chicago, at least so he asserts. He went
in for hallelujah work there in leading
Methodist church, and was teaching
large class in Chicago Sunday school
when he was interrupted by his enforced
presence in Denver. HIS Sunday school
teaching will, probably, be interrupted
for number of years to come. After
the bank failure McClurken went to
Colorado Springs, where he became
broker. When the indictments against
him were found he answered voluntarily,
and since then has resided in Denver,
making living by soliciting accident in

The Denver Bank Wreckers Have Reached
the End of Their Tethers.
Denver. Jan. 2I.-Tomorrow the cases
of c. H. Dow, Sidney McClurken and o.
E Miller will come before Judge Hallett
in the federal court here. The Judge has
already declared that he will not listen to
a motion for new trial, and there is no
doubt that the three bank wreckers will be
sentenced. The only question is as to
the extent of the sentence, The three
men have been convicted on 13 counts.
fhe minimum sentence is five years and
the maximum ten years. While it is
probable that the sentence will be made
concurrent it would be possible for the
judge to sentence them each under the
law to 1870 years. Dow and McClurken
have been out on bail ever since their
conviction month ago, while Miller has
spent most of his time in the county Jail.
Since the wrecking of the bank to the
time of the trial last month Dow's career
has not been free from suspicion, and il
is claimed he has constantly INDUCED
his propensity for gambling. On the
other hand Dow's friends insist that be i

the richer. During the trial Dow wa |nted
