A Miners Luck.

An extraordinary piece of luck has come to a miner at Usworth Colliery, near South End. It appears that a mattress was bought some years ago from a person who had bought it sec- ond-hand, the price paid being 6s. The mattress was recently discarded and put outside the house. Recently, how ever, string was observed to be hang ing by the mattress side, and on ex- animation bag was drawn out con- taining $500.

A JOKE ON THE POLICEMAN,
How French Policeman Got Reinforce ments to CaDture a suDposed Thief.

How French Policeman Got Reinforce
 ments to Capture Supposed Thief
 Mile. Jeanne GraIlier, the we'll known French actress, once met with an amusing adventure. It happened at Marseilles. In one of the little pieces she plays by herself she has for acces- sory the lay figure of a man, skilfully articulated and dressed in a travelling suit, with which she dances. The figure during her voyage was enyeloped in tight fitting covering.
 On reaching Marseilles it was left in the luggage room with other things. The curiosity of two railway employees being art U cd at the sight of it, they took off the covering and resolved to play a joke on their comrades. They placed the figure i14 an arm chair at the desk of the eashies and shut the door. " hen the employts on night service came they opened the door and were surprised to see c man sitting down before the cash bog. They immediate Iy closed and loektd the door and raa for assistance.
 A policeman arrived, revolver iT hand believing like the employes that he had to desl with Q dangerous thief. lie called ol the figure to sur render and follow him to the sta ttcn. As it did not ofeg the summons, the policemen shut tfe door and ent la search ef retnfofeements to sur. round the place. and thereby to prevent zae eulDrit from escaping. The door 4as again opened. tie armed force entered, and 1t was not until they had suddenly bounced on tEe poor lay ro5- Der that they discovered the joke.

.s...s.5o.8oo fol oee Wor.l.

What would Tou think if you could make $250,o00 by speaking a single Wes4? Hon. William M Evarets, says the St. Louis Globe-Demoerat. once received the enormous fee of s25Q,> 0e0 for legal opinion he expressed in just one word of thSee letters.
 A great corporation desired a legal opinion on matter involving millions of dollars, for upon it practically de- pended that corporations very exist ence They decided to refer the ques- ton, which was wholly one of the cor rect interpretation of law, to William NJ. Eyarts, and to le guided wholly by his opinion. Their lawyer stated their case to the Senator, and asked him the important question. Evarts' reputa- ton and success are wholly due, not as a cross-examiner or conductor e cases, but simply to his remarkable knowledge of law and his power, which seems almost like intuition, of deter mining just how the Supreme Court will decide any question of law
 When the attorney for the great cor poration put his question, so vitally important to that corporations exist enee, Evarts sat buried in thought for minute, and then answered in one word, "Yes. His bill for the one word was $250, ,000, and the corporation paid t without a murmar. Eyarts' answer proved to be correo1-
 A L1fe of Uncertainty.
 When a person builds a house in Manila he must decide first whether he prefers death and destruction by earth quake or typhoon. If he wants to die by the earthquake method he builds a masonry house, which tumbles down on him when the earth quakes. If he prefers death by typhoon, he builds a bamboo house. The earthquake doesn't affect it, but the typhoon moves it over into Mindanao AS Manila gets both typhoons and earthquakes the choice is imperative.

OUR EMANCIPATION.

It is to be hoped that our public
spirited colored citizens will set
about devising some appropriate
means of celebrating the anniversa-
ry of the emancipation Of the
slaves in the District. The ques-
tionable methods which have hith-
erto been resorled to in order to
have street parade are not compli-
mentary to the good sense or pros
perity Of our people. Let us have
hall meetings and appropriate
school exercises and thus avoid the
motley crowds which parade our
streets on Emancipation Day and
let our white fellow citizens see
that the intelligence and not the
ignorance of our people has cons
troll. Let us discourage begging
and conduct services among our
selves, b, ourselves and at our own
expense.

LEE SHAFT, SCENE OF THE BIG STRIKE.
says all the way from $1,000 to as
high as S96.60O per ton. This chute
appears to be over 80 feet in length.
The phenOmenally rich ore encOun-
tered in the stope is holding out and
is gradually lengthening and widen
ing. There is now a streak of metal
lie ore three feet wide and twenty five
feet in length, eighteen inches of
which is almost solid sylvanite, and
the other half an oXidized, rusty and
native gold rock that is even richer.
This sudden riches is simply adding
another chapter to the fascinating his
tory of mining in the West. Where
one strikes it rich" a hundred never
strike it at all, but one may be GER
tain. in the case of the man who does
strike it, that he did not find fortune
by any other means than patience,
perseverance and pluck. The history
of mining in Colorado is replete with
such instances as the Isabella has lust
furnished, and stories of the we'll
known men and mines have been told
and retold. but the most interesting
ones are those that rarely reach the
newspapers. because they lie out of
the path which the average newspa-
per man treadS when in the West.

ports the wrong class of republicans
and democrats and for that reason
he is continually getting himself
into trouble. II is asserted that
all democrats are opposed to the
negro. There are just as many
republicans opposed to him as there
are democrats, but the only differ
ence is, there are more negroes
killed by democrats than there are
by republicans. The negro can con-
sistentIy divide his vote and espe-
cially in such places where it is
claimed he cannot be protected.
The negro must learn how to play
the same kind of politics as the
white man and play to win. He
cannot elevate his entire race, so
he must do what he can to elevate
himself. The negro vote ought TO
divide, because it will be to his
interest.

indebtedness Of $4,000 and very little
ore in sight. The old incline shaft on
the Buena Vista was continued down
and levels opened every eighty feet
In December, 1895, the first dividend
of one cent per share, or $4,000, was
paid. In the next eighteen months
$270000 was distributed among share.
holders and then dividends were
stopped. At the 400 foot point, OF
fifth level, the old Buena Vista rich
chute was lost. A great deal of cross
cutting and drifting and sinking was
done, but it could not be located. or,
if it was, the high values had diSap-
peared. In the meantime Hagerman
disposed of his stock to French inveS-
tors at about fifty cents per share.
At that time it was considered high
price. In February, 1898. a new
Board of Directors was chosen, and
Nelson b. Williams, of Chicago, elect
ed President. Feb. 1, when George
M. Kilborn took charge of the mine,
he found very little ore blocked out
in the different levels. He managed,
however, to take out enough to meet
the monthly pay roll, while he kept
the vast majority of miners employed
on development work
In November, in cross cut from
the Buena Vista fissure, at the ninth
or 66O foot level, the new vein and
ore chute was entered. 1t was kept
very quiet, and Williams and assOci-
ates picked up all the stock they want
ed at from 20 to 80 cents per share.
The first shipment of high-grade ore
from the new mine was sent out on
December 24. 1t consisted of sixty
five tons, and it averaged $1,020 per
ton.
In running the drift at the seventh
level on the vein, which is here about
six feet wide. there was a streak of

expense.

J 1t would seem that he Filipinos
are not so unOrganized and uncivll-
| ized as some Americans would
suppose. While the attitude they
have assumed may be a question
able one the fact remains that they
are displaying a stubbornneSs,
bravery and prowess which may
make it necessary to institute
systematic warfare against the
insurgents. The War has gone so
far as to have emboldened the
FIlipinos to throw up earthworks
on the very borders of Manila and
unless the works are destroyed nj ore
trouble may be in store. Of course
our army will conquer in the end
as much on account of it's
superior equipments as the necessity
OF self preservation and maintain
ance of authority of the United
States. There is certainly no dis
position to gloat over the success
of the FilipiEos, far from it, but
spirit of heroism, patriotism in the
Interest of independence which
is manifested goes to show that all
race under favorable or unfavor-
able conditions will make desper-
ate effort for freedom and inde-
pendence. The history of the
Philippine war will attest the fact
that all people who are
oppressed will fight and if need be
die for their liberty. While we are
with this country in its contest for
the supremacy of the doctrines of
humanity we cannot but admire the
bravery of people who escaping
from tyranny of one nation looks
with d ubt upon the friendship of
new protectorate. Moreover there
is some analogy between the strug-
gle which is now going on among
the colored people fer constitutions
al liberty and that of a similar race
in the orient and hence a bond of
sympathy naturally springs up.
We are for the flag pure and
unstained.

A DIVISION OF THE NEGRO
VOTE.

If negro advocates division of
his vote, the presumption is and
the charge Is made that he is a
democrat. Whe editor of the BEE
is and has been a republican from
the day he was taught what the re-
publican paatyis and its principles.
The BEE expects to be a republican
if it is permitted to do so, but while
that is true, it is not necessary for
all the negroes to die the same death
especially if it is to their detri-
ment. The negro has been and is
told that his government is power
less to protect him. He never gets
into trouble as long as he keeps
out of republican politics.
On the other hand he is told il
