Attempt to Blow Up Miners.

An Associated Press telegram
from Phenix gives the following ac-
count of an attempt to dynamite
miners at Castle creek: Advices
from Whipsaw, mining camp SIX; Y
miles north of here, say that an at
tempt was made last Sunday to blow
up with giant powder ioity miners,
who collected in the messroom for
dinner. 4 miner named Cousins, of
whom little is known, aud who is
believed to be insane, is suspected of
placing under the messroom a large
charge Of giant powder of sufficient
quantity to blow the messroom and
occupants into atoms if touched off.
Cousins, it is believed, is the person
who lighted he fuse. One Of the
miners discovered the burning fuse.
aud but for the discovery there
would have been a wholesale car
mage.
Cousins, who had been in camp
two or three days, did not appear
for dinner, a circumstance which
caused comment. and he has not
been seen since the almost success
ful execution of the diaholical plot.
A party of miners secured the hills
in search of the missing man, but
was unable to locate him. The
miners do not know what grievance,
fancied or otherwise, the apparently
insance man holds against them.
Frightened by experience, and fear
ing another plot of tue kind might
be more successful, a number Of
miners quit their jobs and could not
be induced to return.

Danger In Postage Stamps.

A French army surgeon claims to
have ccuclusiveIy demonstrated that
stamp collectors are in a measure re-
sponsible for the dissemination of
tubsrcu' sis and other infectious dis
eases.
The surgeons discovery and sub
sequent investigation arose from the
fact that he had in his employ a
man suffering from advanced pull
monary tub rculosis, in whose sputa
the tubercele bacllli swarmed, This
man was a great stamp collector
and occupied his spare time in fix
ing the stamps in albums or on
sheets of gummed paper, moisten-
ing the stamps with his tongue. As
an experiment 300 of the stamps
were placed in sterilized water.
Eight guinea pigs were innoculated
with this water, and each of them
died with characteristic tubercu-
losis LESSONS As a result of the ex-
periments the French government
is preparing Tor general circulation
a circular warning stamp collectors,
and especially children, against plac-
ing any stamps near their mouths
in order to mOisten them.

HER SECRET IS SAFE NOW.
a Woman PhysicIan's Death Has
Robbed the WOrId of Formula
Worth $4,000.

With the death of DR.. Isabel Mitchell,
of this city, in the county almshouse a
few days ago there is lost to the world
secret which she had spent years in
perfecting and for which she had re-
fused $4,000.
She was taken TO the almshouse hos
pital a delirious sufferer from the gar
ret of house in which she was prac-
tically friendless. She was practic-
ing physician for many years, and while
engaged in her professional work be-
came interested in preserving meats
and vegetables without the aid of ice.
After many experiments she finally
perfected a formula which was said to
be harmless to the health of consumers
and the food in which it was placed.
The process was the forcing of ozone
into the food to be preserved.
Confident of the success of her proc
ess she impressed some of the wealth
lest men in New York and Chicago with
the value of it, and often appeared to
be near to realizing a great fortune
1t had received the Endorsement of such
men as Drs. De Wolf and Gleason, of
the Chicago board of health, and DR..
Billings, of New York F. K. Thurger
and other prominent New Workers,
with William P. Clyde, of this city, were
about to become interested in her pat
ents. She had received offers ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 for the perpet-
ual use of the formula, but she always
refused the offer in the hope that she
would be able to influence capitalists

So interested did she become in her

NO LONGER PUBLIC.
visitors to the White House Must
Now Bear Letters from Con-
Rressmen.

A new plan has been devised in regard
to admittance to the white house par
lors which will be of interest not only
to the thousands who visit Washington
every year, but to the American public
in general. 1t has long been customary
for the great east room OF the white
house to be open TO the public between
ten and two o'clock each day. Several
famous paintings hang in this room,
and admittance to it may be said to af-
ford a glimpse of the white house.
Opening out of it, however, are three
parlors, known respectively, as the
green room, the blue room and the red
room.
The admission of the public TO these
rooms has been more restricted, but
generally all responsible persons have
been allowed to goin at certain times in
the day, since these rooms are quasi
public in their nature. They are
adorned with paintings which have been
presented by great associations, the
members of which oftentimes feel,
properly or improperly, that they have
a right to see them. AT all events, the
number of Washington visitors who
would go away disappointed if only al
lowed to see the east room is very
large. But since the return of the pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley this fall, Sec
rotary j. Addison Porter has evolved a
novel and somewhat original theory in
regard to the three parlors.
This has been a very troublesome
matter for me- said Mr.. Porter to an
acquaintance who called to inquire
about this privilege. 1T is very dis
tasteful to the president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley to have anybody going through
these parlors. They have asked me
time and time again to stop it altogeth-
er. But, of course, could not enforce
this literally; member of congress has
some official rights in this matter, and
so 1 allow to go through the parlors
persons who bring requests from mem
bers of congress or from the heads of
departments. 1 am not recognizing
bureau chiefs and petty officers any
more. II a prominent senator or cab
met officer comes with a party OF
friends 1 usually order them to be
shown over the rooms when they come
but persons with simply congressional
requests 1 have wait until the hour be-
tween twelve and one. Mrs. Mckinley
is sleeping at that time each day up
stairs, and 1 suppose having people GO
through the parlors is less distasteful
/ to her than at any other time.
You would be surprised 10 know the
people that were in these parlors when
1 first came here. Almost everybody
was allowd to tramp through. The
| Clevelands, you know, were very demo.
cratic folks-very democratic. Then an.
other thing that think made some diff
ference was the robust health of Mrs
/ Cleveland-she was very robust. II
would be much simpler for me to shut
off the visitors altogether, but, OF
course, have to recognize a congress
man in such a matter as this. l could
not interpret the presidents request in
any other way" Louis Republic

II will try this day to live sim
pie, sincere, serene life. repelling
every thought of discomfort, self
seeking and anxiety, cultivating
magnanimity, self-control and the
habit of silence, practicing econo-
my, cheerfulness and happiness.
And as | cannot in my own strength
do this, or even with hope of sue
cess attempt it, l look to Thee, o
Lord, my Father, in Jesus Christ,
my Savior, and ask for the gift of
the Holy Spirit"
Following this the first two col
umns are devoted to clippings, Civ
ing a description of the famine in
India and an appeal for the relief
fund, by Rev. Mr.. Sheldon. The
third column contains a series OF
clipped and contributed articles Oh
the war spirit, the tenor of which is
against war. In the fourth column

loon. The fifth and sixth columns
we're devoted to the subject of pro
hibition. In the seventh and last
/ column is contributed articles on
the need of home for consumptive:
in Colorado. The second page is
devoted to editorials.
Rev. Mr. Sheldon is greatly pleased
with his success in getting out the

differ as to the Sheldon edition.
Religious people are pleased, while
the average man appears dlsap
pointed. As a purveyor OF new:
Sheldon is admitted to be failure
As an advocate of religious reform

About the Lima

Llamas are never ridden, EXCEPT by
children, who sometimes mount their
pets, and, unless they are very tame
and well trained, they will not permit
even child to climb on their backs.
Nor IS the male llama ever sheared, al
though the female in the pasture is usu-
ally clipped in the spring. The llama
was the beast of burden of the Incas,
and to its possession is attributed their
superiority over and final subjugation
of the neighboring races.-Peru Letter.

President Mckinley Is allowing
the other fellows to do most of the
talking these days, but he never
fails to act in the right way and at
the right tine.
Senator Elkins says he doesn't
want the yice-presidency, but does
want to remain in the senate. That
ought to settle the matter 50 far as
he is concerned.
As usual, those democrats who
thought the Porto Rico question
could be utilized to make trouble in
the republican party are up against
the jagged rocks of disappointment.
The cabinet resignation makers
are now giving their exclusive atten
ton to Secretary Hay, after having
ANONYMOUSLY failed to get Attor-
ney-General Griggs to pay any at
tention to them.
Mr.. Bryan cannot be blamed for
not putting too much trust in such
friends" as ex-Senators German
and Hill, and Boss Croker. He
knows enough to know that they
would knife him if they saw a favor
able opportunity.
Wise democrats have long ago re-
cognized the inevitable renomina-
ton, by reclamation, of President
Mckinley and have not taken part
in any of the silly attempts to make
it appear that some other republi-
can was being doomed.
