without success, when the conclusion
was reached by the party in cnarge of
the work for the owner that the ore
did not go down. Recently the Old
shaft was cleaned out and newly tim,
bered, and a thorough prospecting Of
the ground at lower level inaugurated.
A mass of lime known to be more than
40 feet wide, was encountered and in
this and at point Al feet from the
shaft, Mr.. Stoddard has struck the
body of ore, others had said did not

of its extent as the large drift being
run is in solid ore, which by the way,
contains four times the copper values
of the ore above, the black sulphide Of

of copper at the present depth. Next

itself is the fact that the iron overly

exactly the same character as that oc-

of development will be continued un-

very capable man, while Mr.. Stoddard

The three days delay in arrival of
the western mail and passengers was
caused by peculiar wreck at Gila
Bend. The train was stationary when
wrecked. A heavy rainstorm had rem
dered the track bed soft, and as one
side settled quickly, the engine and
two cars toppled over on their sides
An engine was sent for and came in
from the west. 1t was feared that a
further settling of the track on one
side would ditch the entire train. The
engine coupled to the three cars in the
rear of the train. The passengers were
outside and their effects removed when
the engine attempted to pull the cars
back but they fell over on the same
side as the others. A crew of workmen
worked on the wreck continuously and
the track was thoroughly tested for
several hundred yards before the be
lated train was permitted to travel
over it. The damage was not great
and nobody was hurt-Tombstone

A Great Difference.

What difference it makes when a
man is broke How little loose change
buoys him up. There is no feeling that
brings more pleasure to a man than the
sound of the jingle of few odd pieces
of money in his pocket. 1t makes him
independent and cheerful when other
wise he would be gloomy and despond-
ent. For instance:
A man drifts into mining camp;
has walked all day over dusty and
rough trails and possibly has not eaten
very regularly for few days. He is
anxious for job and his face lights up
with mellow smile when the shift
boss puts him on. He makes wire
candle stick, steps on the cage and
goes merrily down the shaft to begin a
new life. He brags to his partners of
the fine meal he got at the company
boarding house at supper and pro
nounces il the best meal he ever ate at
public house.
As he settles down to work cleaning
out the ore and waste the day shift
broke down, he sees to his great salts
faction that the pick is sharpened and
hardened just to his liking. The shov-
el is just the right length and of fine
make, The drills when tested prove
excellent; they stand the work, follow
each other and do not "fissure." The
hammer, with its shining face as large
as silver dollar, is just his size and
style The foreman is all right and be
is so pleased with his surroundings he
whistles softly, keeping time to the
blows of the hammer. His first half
shift is soon ended and the cage takes
| him and his fellow workmen up to the
hoist house where lunch is eaten and
sundry funny and questionable" sto-
ries are related. The lunch bucket
opened he sees lunch fit for the gods.
Cake, pie, ham, two boiled eggs, a
pickle, stewed fruit, and two or three
slices of bread and butter. The world
looks straight to him and he is gay and
contented with his lot.
Two months later The poor old
weary wanderer who was happy with
his lot, has now put in GO straight
shifts and has only drawn from the
company store few plugs of tobacco
pair of Levi Strauss overalls, pain
of Bucking d Hecht nailed shoes, a
jumper and suit of red flannel under
clothing, and has about 139.50S due
him. He is changed man; capital
ist as it were. He is now among the
oldest hands and an authority on al
subjects relating to the mine. He goes
to supper and kicks at the grub until
the waiter swears he will break his
head in with coffee pot. He goes on
shift and nothing suits him. The
picks break off and the drills will moi
stand two rounds, He is overbearinl
and generally obnoxious. If the shift
boss suggests to him that he put In hi,
shots little differently so as not e
shoot the ore down with the waste, b,
mutters under his breath and is read,
to quit. After the boss is gone he cir

Little Fight In Senate Over, the Nc.
.Gowan BILL Matter.
ST. PAUL. Feb. Ex-senator Daugherty
had a fight on his hands in the senate
this morning, when as chairman of the
labor committee he reported back for the
majority of the committee substitute
for the MCGOWAN BILL making eight
hours constitute a days work. The sub
stitute provides that the provisiins of the
bill shall apply to employees of the state
CT: municipal corporations or employees of
contractors for those corporations.
The minority of the committee made a
report asking that the bill be definitely
postponed. Senator Sheehan (Ramsey),
advocated the minority report. He con-
tended that state supreme court decisions
in several states had held that the prin-
ciple ivolved here was unconstitutional
unless applied to all classes OF laborers.
Senator .Daugherty asked if the senat-
or's contention before the committee was
not that the original bill was unconstitu-
tional because 1t excepted farm laborers.
The senator from Ramsey admitted that
thmat was true. D.:
Senator Daugherty demanded a roll call
on the substitute motion that the report
of the minority be adopted. Protests
came from all over the senate, but Mr..
Daugherty insisted on a roll CALL Then
followed a technical discussion as to the
effect of the adoption of the motion,
which Senator Daugherty insisted would
indefinitely postpone the bill. He finally
won an admission from the president that
his contention was correct. The minority
report was rejected on the roll call and
the majority report in favor Of the bill
was subsequently adopted.
An anti-blacklisting law that hits
strikes as we'll was introduced by Senator
Hawkins The bill declares it unlawful
for any persons or corporations to COM
bine or conspire to prevent or interfere
with the business of any persons or cor
porations by threats, promises, the cir
culation o fboycott cards or dogers or by
declaring a boycott and advertising Its
existence against any persons or corpora

The Wolf Is Mt the Door.


There's haunting horror near us
That nothing drives away;
Fierce 1amping eyes at nightfall,
\ crouching shade by day;
There's whining at ne threshold,
There's scratching at the floor,
To work! To work. In heavens
name!
The wolf is at the door!
The day was long, the night was
short,
The bed was hard and cold,
Still weary are the little ones.
Still weary are the old,
We are weary in our cradles
From our mothers toll untold,
We are born to boarded WEAKNESS
AS some to boarded gold.
We will not rise! We will not work!
Nothing the day can give
Is half so sweet as an hour of sleep;
Better to sleep than live!
What power can stir these heavy
limbs?
What hopes these dull hearts swell?
What fear more cold, what pain more
sharp
Than the life we know SO well:
10 die like man by lead or steel
Is nothing that we should fear;
No human death would be worse to
feel
Than the life that holds us here.
But this is a fear that no heart can
A fate no man can dare
To be run to earth and die by the
teeth
Of the gnawing monster there!
The slow, relentless, padding step
That never goes astray- wa
The rustic in the underbrush-
The shadow in the way
The straining fight-the long pur-
The steady gain behind
Death wearied man and tireless brute,
And the struggle wild and blind! =.
There's hot breath at the keyhole
And n tearing as of teeth! Fl
Well do ] know the bloodshot eyes +
And. the dripping jaws beneath!
There's whining at the threshold
There's scratching at the floor
To work! To work! In Heavens
name!
The wolf is at the door! ..-'.-,

Three Organizations VIII lie Under
the Roof of the Hussars.
One room of the quarters of the Geor-
gia Hussars win be used exclusively by
members of the University Club, the Hi
bernian Society and st. Andrews Society.
This was decided upon at a meeting Of
the Hussars last night, when the matter
was submitted to the troop. II was de-
termined to surrender one of the rooms
that has been used for billiards to the
three organizations the tenants TO fit II
up comfortably for their meetings ana
gatherings.
The Hussars also decided to extend the
privileges of their club to the members or
the three organizations for the dues that
are charged the active members of the
troop. Many of the members of the Uni
yersity Club and the two societies are
members Of the Hussars already, and It is
probable that others will take advantage
of the opportunity afforded and the con,
venient club privileges so close at hand
to associate themselves with the Hussars
Resolutions touching the death of three
honorary members of the Hussars were
adopted. The deceased gentlemen thus
respected were Mr. William Neyie Hab-

LESSONS FROM THE GADFLY.
Rev. !. p. Mendes' Lecture on the Ef-
fects of Mrs. VOynich's Novel.

The Rev. l. p. Mendes delivered a most
interesting lecture on ''The Gadfy" yes
terday afternoon. Under the ambiguous
title of Romance. ne said, is gathered in
discriminatory all the works of fiction,
many of which compel our interest from
a consideration of the possible effects for
good OF evil that they may have on So
ciety as a whole. The latest book of the
kind is "The Gadfy." and few books in
recent years have awakened such an inter
est, or furnished more food for thought
than has this work.
The general plot, DR.. Mendes said, is so
we1 known that it is unnecessary 10 give
even an outline of it, suffice 1t to say that
though numbers Of people are willing TO
admit the literary value and strength of
the story there are many who are com
PEELED to confess TO the very unpleasant
effect the book has produced upon them
and Il has ever been a question among
thinking peop.e whether any good results
can accrue from the constant desire of
some writer's 10 weaken and destroy that
beautiful structure so necessary to mans 6
happiness, religion. To persons antago-
nistic to religion the bitter raillery and
vituperation of the Gadhy are toothsome
norsels.
Dr. Mendes discussed the question, he
said, not from the standpoint of any par
ticular religion nor in the interest of any
special creed, but from the vantage ground
of unpre judice so necessary in the discus
sion of any religious question. Religion he
conceived to be as described in the plain
definition chat is familiar to every child
in the correct knowledge of God and in
the observance of his commands, Relig-
ion all came from a common source, but
being transmitted from people to people
and from tribe TO tribe. differences have
crept in; the simple statement now that
one is a Christian is not sufficient but
must be supplemented with a statement
of your views and ideals hopes and as
pirations in order to show just what kind
of sect you belong to, and it is a truth
that every setback that religion has re,
ceived has been caused by a war of fac
tons. A melancholy truth was enunci-
ated when 1t was said that men would
wrangle for religion; would fight for il;
would die for it; would do anything buJ
live for il.
DR., Mendes said he was ashamed that
in the dying years of the nineteenth cen.
tury any person would be so fallen as to
condemn any religion because there are
some hypocrites and some traitors in 1t.
He ended his remarks by an earnest ap-
peal for tolerance, closing with Pope's
lines He can't be wrong whose life is
in the right" which, he said, is the best
lesson that can be learned from the Cad

CITY COURT CRIMINALS.
Misdemeanor Offenders Sent to tn,

MisdemeanOr Offenders Sent to the
Chain-Gnng and County Farm.
Yesterday morning in the City Court was
devoted to the cases of the petty criminals
who had been arrested during the week,
and remanded by either the Recorder or
one of the magistrates for trial before
Judge Norwood. About the usual number
of them were sent to the chain-gang or
county farm for terms ranging from six
TO twelve months.
Peter Garvey was before Judge Falligant
for the larceny of silver and linen from
the Atlantic Clubhouse at Tybee. The
guilt of the negro was clearly disclosed,
and he was sentenced by the court to pay
a fine of SIS and costs, or to serve twelve
months on the chain-gang of the county.
His inability to pay the fine and costs COM
PEELED the acceptance of the latter aterna-
tive.
Arthur Mitchell, negro boy of Is. plead
ed guilty to the offense of larceny from
the house. Mitchell stole a quantity of
gas fixtures from a new dwelling that is
being erected on Park avenue by Mr.. j.
Fl. Wilder, and was caught in the very
act. He was sentenced to pay fine of $40
and costs, or serve a compulsory enlist
ment of twelve months in Dale's Cadets
in assisting the agricultural operations
now Delng carried on on the county farm.
Ernest Hobbs had stolen a number of
pieces of cloth from Messrs. j. McLaugh-
lin & Son The usual penalty of $40 and
costs, or twelve months was annexed to
this offense by Judge Norwood. David
Holmes was found guilty of larceny from
the house, and sentenced to pay a fine of
SIS and costs, or twelve months on the
chtln-gang.
Dave Harris was charged with assault
hat
mond had attempted Dawes arrest, it ap-
peared from the evidence, and the negro
had resisted and cut the officer in the arm.
The wound was not particularly serious,
but 1t incurred a penalty Of $50 and costs or
twelve months on the gang Ben Pinckley
received a sentence of $25 and costs or six
months for assault and battery.
Robert Alexander 1t lie negro of about
ten years, was found guilty of the larceny
of $4 from the person of Mr.. John Sulfi-
van. The boy is a bOotblack and on last
Sunday had been called into Mr.. Sulivan's
grocery store, where the proprietor had
gone to read his mail, to clean his shoes.
Mr. Sullivan changed his trousers in the
store and feft the pair he had taken off in
the same room with The little negro. When
he returned the boy was gone and 81 in
money, that had been in one of the pockets
of the trousers, was gone also. Judge Nor
wood sentenced Robert to a year on the
county farm, but suspended sentence on
account of the boys immature age, on con-
dt,on of a promise of complete reforma-
ton.
