From the Pittsburg Bulletin: In his
prime the late Mr.. John Cook, the
great tourist agent. was man of iron
frame. But when years of railway
travelling, which averaged annually
some 10000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms, he made dis
covery that may be worth giving t.
the public. He found that the threat.
ened trouble, something spinal. disap-
peared,when he no longer sat with his
back to the engine. He always there
after faced it. and that the principle
is sound win be borne out by others
whom he advised to do the same. All
who are called upon to do much rail-
way travelling will be wise to sit fac
ing the horses"

their wedding journey by way of the

BURNED A HUME RED YEARS.
Colorado Mountain Who Perpetual Fire
cannnf re nncnched.

Cannot Be Quenched.
For 100 years and perhaps much
longer a mountain in Colorado has
been on fire. It is situated but short
distance west of Newcastle, and the
shadow of its smoke envelopes the
town se ) o'clock every evening. The
&c H#a= sae region have become so
aecaste.l ed to it that they pay little
Or NJ attention to the phenomenon.
10 tie stranger thereabouts, however,
The glittering patches of deep red fire,
where it breaks out on the side Of the
mountain and is exposed to view. there
Is nothing in all the state quite It's
eqaal. The fire is fed by big vein OF
coal which the mountain contains.
Just how the coal became ignited is
not known The Oldest resident says
it was on fire when he came and the
Ute Indians, WIN once lived there, say
It was burning many years before the
first white man crossed the eentlnen-
tai divide. The supposition is that the
coal was ignited by forest fire at an
early date in the present century. 1t
has smoldered and steadily burned I'M
til this day. At night when the moon
Is dark is the best time to see the fire.
Then it is that it resembles the re-
gions of inferno as given us in the
word painting of Dante. The earth
covering the coal is loosered by the
heat aud falls away, exposing the sheet
of fire. The escaping gas probably as
sists in stripping off the rocks and dirt
and wherever the vein of coal ap-
breaches the surface the fire can be
seen. The first fire I saw was fully
fifty feet square. It had peculiar red
tint, while the burning gas coming up
at the base of the coal vein added a
bright color to the scene. In many
places the surface of the mountain has
sunk, showing where the fire has
burned out its course. Efforts have
been made to extinguish the fire. Some
time ago a company which owns 9
large amount Of coal land constructed
ditch from a point several miles
above the mountain, into which it sue
ceeded in turning the water which goes
to form Elk creek. Previously a shaft
had been sunk in the mountain, and
into this shaft the water was permitted
to flow. The shaft was soon filed,
but the fire was above the level of the
water, aud the effort was failure.

LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy and Contented and
Crime Almost Unknown.

Crime Almost IHkuoWu.
From the New York Times. Few
people ever think of st. Helena except
as a rock in the sea on which Napoleon
lived a while miserabiy and then more
miserably died. That the greatest OF
anti-elinaxes was not the end OF the
little islands history is hard to realize,
possibly because a poet or remaneer
would have made it the end, and
continuation is therefore more Or less
unf.. tural and absurd. Be that as 1t
may, st. Helena has remained the abid.
ing place of ordinary human beings
who concern themselves very littls
about the colossal ghost generally sup
posed to be the islands only inhabi-
tant, and the report to the English
government just made by their gov
ernof shows that they have joys and
sorrows exactly like those of the folks
dwelling in places less tragically IA
nous. For instance, the revenues of
the island last year were Sc ,152, a de-
:idedly comfortable sum. but alas! the
expenditures amounted to e BAG, and
that Is an excess OF outgo not comfort
aple at all The governor says. how
ever, that the bad balance was due to
scme extraordinary drains upon the
islands resources, and that he antici-
pates substantial surplus for the cur
.ent year. A recent increase of the
garrison and extensive improvements
now making by the colonial and I'M
perial authorities assure the imme-
diate prosperity of the islanders. st.
Helena Las no public debt, but is pay
ing off by small annual installments a
Misunderstanding grant of $4,000
made by parliament in 1871. The i'm
ports. chiefly foodstuffs and building
materials, amounted last year to &c.,
985, and the exports, almost wholly po-
tatces to e 1891. Laeemaking has been
introduced among the girls of the is
land with great success. and the gov
ern3r is experimenting with the manu-
facture of brick and tile. The whal-
ers have now entirely deserted st.
Helena, the few ships engaged in that
industry keeping far to the perth or
south. The total population Of the is
land is 4,d43. The governor hopes that
winter Yisitors from England may be
tempted by the salubrity of the eli
mate to try St Helena. which is SUI
perior he says, in Gsme respects to that
of MADEIRA and th Canary islands. He
says The people as a whole compare
favo1ably with the English agrieul-
tural population; with few exceptions
all can read and write, and the lam
guage is spoken with greater purity
than in many districts at home. As
rule. the people are happy and con-
tented, with little crime among them
and much kindness in helping each
other. Strangers are greatly impressed
with the general eivility shown by
hem to old and young.

SUPREME COURT.
Several Decisions in Appealed Cases
Are Handed Down Today by the
Supreme Court.
Court CONSTITUTES Various Points of Law
and Decides Several Mooted
Questions.
(Froln Thursdays Daily.)

SuOS . AZ -
Several decisions have been handed
down by the supreme court. In the
case of A. B. Mcdonald VS.. the Nor
dyke Marmon company, Alex Currie
and G. w. Beatty, the decision of the
lower court is affirmed. This was an
action brought to set aside and annul
a sheriff's certificate of sale. The
court in affirming the decision of the
lower court holds that a notice of fore
closure by advertisement, published
forty days and 10 longer, was legally
published, having been published nee
each week for six successive weeks, as
the law provides.
The Ease of A. B. Mcdonald VS.. G..
w. Beatty and Alice Beatty, appealed
from the district court of Towner
county, is also affirmed.
In the case of John Kadlac VS.. Frank
Pavik, a contest over the Office of viii
lage marshal at Pisek, Walsh county,
the judgment of the lower court is re-
versed and the court is ordered to set
aside its judgment Diminishing the con-
test with costs against the contestant.
The court n0lds that proof that a per-
son claimed to be an alien voted in
this country overcomes the presump-
ton Of alienage, and that where a per-
son has resided in this country for
ten years and in county for seven
years, proof that he has taken out no
naturalization in that county is no
evidence that he was not a legal voter.
In the case of Welter VS.. Leist-
ikow from Walsh county, the decision
Of the lower court is affirmed. This
is al appeal from an order granting a
new trial in a case. The court holds
that a verdict is properly set aside
and a new trial granted where the in
structions were not applicable under
lle evidence and tended to confuse or
mislead the jury, even if they did state
correct legal propositions.
The case of Ballou VS.. Bergvendsen
from Ramsey county, is affirmed.
In the case of Cass county VS.. the
American Exchange State bank of
Buffalo, the Judgment of the lower
court is reversed and a new trial Or
dered. This is a suit against bonds
men of a suspended county depository.
One name that had been signed as
surety IN the bond had been erased
and other names appeared below the
erasure. The court holds that the
bond was primarily admissible in evil
dence, the legal presumption being that
the erasure al innocent, and that the
burden rested upon the ctler signers
t. show that their implied contract
ad been altered by the erasure.
