A CHAPTER ON DEADBEATs.


Not long ago we were talking with
some Denison merchants relative TO the
profits and Losses of business. i was
somewhat surprising to hear al OF them
complain bitterly of about dozen
deadbeats who have been preying on
the community for 10 these many years
The majority of these men are highly
Respectable, they wear better clothes,
live IN better houses, have more lux
uries than the majority of the honest
debt paying men of Denison. Their
names cover the books and are en-
shrined in the memories OF every met-
chant who gives credit. They are
Judgment proof in this world but If they
are in the next the whole scheme of
eternal damnation is failure. ~ you
ask one these men for the money you
have honestly earned, he Will be grossly
nsulted and probably Insult you in
turn. The trouble is that because these
men are we'll dressed and loud takers.
the business men hate to refuse them.
These men owe for the clothes they
wear. the food they eat, the chairs they
sit in, the cigars they smoke, the papers
they read. the coal they burn and the
stoves they burn it in. They are not
grateful even for the credit, or rathei
gifts, given them, If they have any cash
they spend it some place else rather
than at the place where they owe a
bill. We would like to see those fellows
at work on stone pile but do not sup-
pose we win ever see this highly phil

IaELAND.s STAGE RECORDS.
Recent Death of a Man Whose Workg
Theatrical History IL Invaluable.

Theatrical History Is Invaluable. "a
The best-known historian of the Arnef-
lean stage died on Dec. 20 last at MS
home in Bridgeport, Conn, but the fact
of his death attracted little attention az
the time. Joseph Norton Ireland's Rec
ords of the New York Stage from 1850 to
1867 is about the most valuable book on
the American theater and is highly APP
p,eciated by collectors. This is the most
important of Mr.. Ireland's works, al
though he was an author of several boo1
relating to theatrical history 1t is ctl
rious fact about such books that the good
ones are very highly valued, although few
persons take the trouble to write them

continued for years. He has had other
employment in the meantime, and his
book has been rather labor of love. No3w

authors opinion, splendid history Of the
actors of this country, it is impossible to
find subscribers who will enable him to
publish the work. But doubtless its
value within a few years after it is pub
llshed will be many times as great as it
is now. But the general interest in these
matters is too slight for a publisher to
take the risk, and the collectors have
have not vet been found who are willing
to subscribe in advance for the history
So it remains completed but without q
publisher. The great value of Mr.. Ire
lands works to-day emphasizes the diff
ference in the public appreciation of such
books before and after they are pub
l;shed.
Mr.. Irelands works were the result
merely of his interest in the stage, and
this avocation began when he was mer-
chant in this city He was born here on
April "a, 1877. His father, Joseph ireland,
was a descendant of Thomas Ireland, one
of the original patentees of Hampstead,
Long Island. Mr.. Ireland studied In this
city and in Bedford, N Y. He remained
in business here until 1853. Then he re-
tired and moved to Bridgeport, with the
idea of completing the work in which he
had SO long been interested. He had
never before written on the subject, but
had gathered a great deal of information
which he was able to use with authority.
The writings which he first contributed to
the press were afterward used to form
the basis of his principal work.
Mr. Ireland owned at the time of his
death an extra illustrated edition of his
Records which contained upward of
$500 portraits and autographs of the per-
sons who are mentioned in the work. The
extra illustration of this copy cost Mr.
Ireland almost as much time as the origi-
nal writing of the book, in addition to a
considerable outlay of money. Among
Mr. Ireland's other works were '.Memor-
ials of Mrs. Duff published in 1882 in Bos-
ton, and "a Memoir of the Professional
Life of Thomas Apthorpe Cooper" and
he contributed to dramatic collections and
magazines. But it is his Record that
is most in demand.

IN THE MINING WORLD
This Year Opens With Varied
Assortment of Strikes.
THE NEW MINERAL FIELDS
Much Interest Manifested IN the Vernal
and the Buffalo Hump Districts
How the Original Discov-
cries Were Made

The year 1899 opens with large and
varied assortment of the newest and
most fashionable strikes and discov-
cries in mining districts. The man
with a desire to spend the summer in
the hills searching for mineral wealth
may turn his attention in most any
direction and head straight for new
mining country. Reports this winter
have been numerous of the discovery
of brand new mineral fields. There is
the Vernal district, which has awak-
ened new interest in Utah, Wyoming
and Colorado Next is the Buffalo
Hump country in Idaho, which is at
tracing people from Boise, Baker City
and the Seven Devils country. The
fabulous richness of the gold strike at
Cripple Creek will lure thousands of
prospectors into the Businesses of the
Rockies The Blackfoot reservation in
this state, the Tobacco Root range, the
head of Ross Fork of the Big Hole,
the Sylvanite stampede and the excite
ment in Northern Washington-all COM
paratively new. and about which less
was heard in January, 1898.
Probably the most talked of districts
right now are the Vernal and the Buff
falo Hump. The Salt Lake Herald sent
man into the district surrounding
Vernal, and for the benefit of those
who are anxious to learn something
about the country the Herald's article
of recent date are published:
The original discoveries near the old
Golden Wonder mine are probably %
miles southeast of Vernai as the crow
flies, and at least 10 more by the wagon
road. which is fairly good now, but is
quite heavy during the summer, owing
to sand.
From Green river to Harper's ranch
is eight miles, which has lately been
made stopping place for numbers of
prospectors who have located along the
big vein until it sinks out of sight in
the low country north of the ranch,
some claims even being located in the
Harper pasture.
From Harper's it is IS miles to the old
camp at Golden Wonder, over benches
and flats, until within four miles of
camp, at which point the road enters
rough gorge, which runs along the base
and parallel with the immense cliffs Of
the Blue mountain range.

ton of the statements with reference

men had succeeded in keeping the fire
out of the building almost altogether,
and that the damage to the structure
by fire was very slight, though smoke
and water had ruined all the interior
walls. The damage to this building is
now estimated at $1,000 or 81 500, cover
ed by $4,000 insurance in the Mer-
chants. The loss on the contents, the
hotel property of Charles Heclsler, was
quite heavy, nearly all the bedding and

The destruction of the Case and
Courtney building was complete, and
the Ices will not be far from the orig
inal estimate, $4,000. There was $3.50
insurance on the property, $1,000 in the
American Central, and 1850 in the
Royal of Liverpool. DR.. A. w Noble,
of the Noble Drug company estimated
his loss yesterday at $1,000. He carries
$4,000 insurance distributed as follows:
The National of Hartford, $500; Con-
tinental, $500; Firemen's Fund, $1,000;
Aetna, $500; Prussian National, $500:
The Hartford $500, and Phoenix OF
Brooklyn, 5000.
The plant of the Butte Turkish Bath
and Massage company was owned by
DR.. Noble and carried under his in
surance, and therefore figures with the
drug stock in his loss. The Royal Mil
ling company's loss is as near as
could be estimated yesterday, about the
same as given yesterday, close to $1,000
on which there was $500 insurance in
the Queen. The milling company had
that day received two carloads of feed,
hay and grain in addition to the stock
usually carried. The place of Miss
Christina Ralph, proprietors of the
lodging house over the milling COM
pany'e store is about $500 more than
covered by the insurance. There was
one other loss not enumerated in yes

saw in this case something that was new
10 at least some of them. The horse,
the off one of a pair hooked to a truck
had gone down on a snoWcovered and
slippery asphalt pavement. The driver
cleared away all the harness loosed all
the fastenings, SO that the horse would
have perfect freedom of movement, and
then did the one thing that was new. He
got from the truck a big piece of burlap
bacging and went back to the horses
head and prepared to place it under the
horses forefeet. He spread it under the
horses off forefoot first. because that
was the one he came to first coming
from the truck, arranging it on the
ground close to the foot and then lifting
the foot and leg and pushing the burlap
under it. Then he went around the
horses head to repeat the operation with
the nigh foot, and when he got all ready
and had got hold of the horses foot to lift
it the horse lifted his foot himself, while
the driver simply carried i. forward to
its proper place on.sthe burlap. Then
with this good, secure hold for his feet,
the horse got up on the slippery pave

driver hooked him ubt again and drove
on. = rs ia

whom escaped. but none had time to

ing shelter. Tt has been impossible to
learn anything definite as to how the
fire started, as no one appears to have
known anything about it till Grocer
Lee Cook came out of his store and
saw the smoke coming out OF the Win
dows.
The department had two runs last
evening, the first alarm came in from
box 56 about 4:30 in the afternoon, and
was for fire in the two-story brick
residence occupied by Mrs Berry at
4O3 Watson avenue. The fire started
from defective flue getting overheat-
ed. Only for the prompt arrival Of the
department the house would have bsen
destroyed.
A still alarm sent in about Z o'clock
called the chemical to SIG West Galena
street. where Charles Ccpenharve built
fine new residence during the past
season. and which is occupied by the
family of John Murta. On the arrival
of the fire chief, thing very common
in Butte was discovered. that the f1ue
of the furnace had been sighted by
either the architect or contractor, and
that only the thickness Of one brick in
tervened between the fire from the fur
mace and the woodwork encasing the
f1ue. When it became necessary to fire
up for the cold weather, the one brick
layer heated through and set fire to The
house. The damage was only nominal,
but had it occurred at night the loss
would doubtless have been great.

poor hay, his endurance, condition

An Arkansas judge, in speaking OF
his local paper, recently remarked
Each year the local paper gives from
$500 to $4,000 in free lines for the
community in which it is located. No
other agency can or will do this. The
editor, in proportionate to his means,
does more for his town than any other
ten men, and in ali fairness with men
he ought to be supported, not because
you happen to like him or admire his
writings, but because the local paper
is the best investment a community
can make. Financially it is of more
benefit to the community than the
teacher or preacher; and ON the moral
question you will find that most OF
the local papers are on the right side.
Today the editors of the local papers
do the most work for the least money
of any set of men on earth.'
