"JACK" HAVERLY DEAD.
Man Il a Victim of Heart
Failure.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 3o.-John Fl.
characters of the American stage,
died Saturday at st. Marks hospital
While the immediate cause of death
was heart trouble, the once famous
minstrel leader had been in failing
health for several months. Haverly
came here in 1890 and engaged in
mining, which occupied his attention
until a general breakdown made it
necessary for him to abandon all
business activity. He built the Co.
lumbia theater in Chicago in the early
sos.
[John H. Haverly, better known as
'Jack" Haverly, a few years ago one Of the
best known and most successful Of theat-
rical managers, was born In eastern Penn
sylvania in 1888. He began his theatrical
career as doortender in one Of the theaters
at Pittsburg, Pa. He rose rapidly and he
finally became one of the most successful
Of managers. Mr.. Haverly wanted to es-
tablish chain Of theaters from New York
to San Francisco. Although this scheme
was never carried into execution, he was
the owner at one time of six theaters and
10 road companies. In 1866 the Haverly and
Cool Burgess MINISTRIES were organized. In
1876 the ]. II. Haverly MINISTRIES, with Bar
low, Wilson, Primrose and West as the
principal features, were launched, and con-
tinued for many years the most popular
company Of its kind in the country. The
United MastodOn MINISTRIES were next or
ganized. They were 40 in number. Forty
Count 'Em-Forty"-beCame HaverIy's
slogan and was echoed across the CONT
nent. An engagement of six weeks was
played at the Fourteenth Street theater in
New York, and the seasons profits amount
ed to 100000. The MINISTRIES toured the
United States and then were taken to Eng
land. In 1850 Haverly was a the height Of
his success. He controlled Haverly's the
alter in New York, Niblo's in Brooklyn and
house In Chicago. When HaverIy endeav-
ored, with some OF his theatrical profits,
to win fortune in western mining proper
ty, however, his steed failed him. Specu-
lations in western exchanges and in Wall
street caused his failure in 1884, and for
some years he had hard time to make
both ends meet

MORE PAVING.
City Council Grants Prayer For
Paving on East Ist Avenue.

There was a special meeting of the
,city fathers last night to consider a
paving petition, The paper was
signed by the property owners of 1st
Ave. east and asked that Let Ave. be
paved 80 foet wide with regula-
ton paving from 7th street to
9Th street. The petition was as fol-
ows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the city of Oskaloosa,
Iowa.
We, The undersigned property
owners on East First avenue from
7th street to 9th street respectfully
petition that yon pave said avenue as
above described, from Seventh street
to Ninth rect, with ordinary brick
paving, such as has been heretofore
accepted by the city engineer and
council including curbing and neces-
sary grading. Signed by
Isaac aud Jno. Kalbach go feet
Mrs. s. NJ. Carbon go feet
Geo. III. Carbon go feet
Nary K. Ninde sos feet
O. H. Carbon go feet
William Bailey so feet
The petition was duly granted and
paving was also ordered in on South
9th street between 1st and High
ayes. This was the principle bust
ness before the meeting but several
smaller matters needed attention and
they were brought up afterwards.
A petition was read signed by E.
H. Gibbs, F. X. Underwood and H.
H. Phinney asking that the grade of
the alleys at the back and sides of
lots 1, 2 and 8, block 26, o. P. be
lowered to prevent the water from
running into the cellars in that vicin-
ity. The Petition was granted.
A committee ways appointed to in
vestigate the Rock Island crossing at
9TH street and report on the advis-
ability of putting in viaduct. Mr..
G. w. Sewers was present at the
meeting and spoke in behalf of the
Rail road Co. saying he thought
if the city would stand good for all ac-
cidents the company would put it in.
Several sidewalks were brought up
and a motion was made to refer them
to the sidewalk committee but an
objection was raised and the motion
withdrawn.
The following sidewalks were then
ordered in:
Ave north side, from End to 3rd
street.

Citizens of Clarksburg, w. Va, are
confident that the Harrison county
oil fields, in which many Of them have
grown rich recently, will be brought
to their doors Immediately, and some
Of them have actually begun to ar
range to sink wells in back yards, as
was the fashion in Sistersville In the
early days Of the excitement there.
Many years ago an epidemic Of typhoid
fever at Clarksburg caused the town to
sink an artesian we'll on the outskirts
Of the village, as it was then. Oil in
the vicinity of Clarksburg caused the
town to boom, and the we'll is now in
the towns center. The other day a
property owner decided to remove the
plug from the old well which had been
closed for years, because it would no
longer give forth water. When the
plug was taken out oil welled to the
surface and enriched the premises. It
has been ascertained that the artesian
well was sunk to the first sand, known
as Dunkard. The sand Is pregnant
with oil.

She Is Burned to Death-Others
Badly Injured.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. SO.-As a re-
suit of an attempt to use oil to hurry
along the kitchen fire Saturday Mrs.
Barbara Sturgent is dead, her hus-
band Andrew and their son George
are dying. Two other children
of the family, Barbara and An
drew, are very badly burned. The
family occupied two rooms of tene-
ment house at 1902 Washington ave.
nue., Braddock. Mrs. Sturgent, while
getting the breakfast, started to pour
oil on the kindling wood in the stove
and Immediately an explosion fol-
lowed. The room was filled with
clothing hung on line to dry. In an
instant the two rooms were blazing
furnace. Mrs. Sturgent was burned
to death, while her husband and son
are literally cooked and can hardly
live the night through. The other
families in the building were rescued
by prompt work by the firemen.

MAHOGANY TIMBER.
Range in the Values Of Grades of Thi.
Wood.

Range in the Values OF Grades of This
Wood.
There is a great range in the value
Of mahogany timber. The poor grade
Of short stock may sell as low as so
dollars for 1000 feetwhile fancy mater
ial, used for the manufacture of coun-
ter tops may be worth $3.50 for 1000
feet, or even higher. Previous to the
war in Cuba much mahogany was
shipped from the island to the United
States, and the trade has been reviv-
ing within the last two years. The
finest quality from this source is called
the San Jago" and is used in the
manufacture of fancy furniture and for
the interior work of houses. The price
Of this variety made on an inch basis,
ranges from $140 to $165 for 1000 feet.
Fine hard Mexican mahogany, which
is one of the most satisfactory kinds
for fine furniture or interior work, is
sold according to the grade. 1t is hard
wood, Of good color, and finishes well.
The "firsts" and seconds" in this
class Of stock are sold for about $160
for 1000 feet, but when it is selected
it is worth from $40 to 5000 for 1000
feet. Commons" sell at from $110 to
S145, and "culls" lowest grade) at
from $50 to 800. The soft Mexican ma
hogany is not desirable, and, in all
grades is worth from $40 to $25 for
1000 feet less than the hard variety

When the land is contaminated men
should, at the time of milking cows,
let the milk fall directly on the ground
and moisten 1t. They should also fast.
Deeds of charity and sacrifices in be-
half of ancestors should be performed
in every house, village, and city. For
'impiety is the root of all diseases. So
says Charaka, the highest authority in
medical science. The planets should
be propitiated. The observance Of these
good rules will create in men a kind
of psychic force which will purify the
tainted soil, water, ETC., and render
them wholesome. Vishu should be wor-
SHIPPED in every house with offerings of
leaves of tulasi. Such holy observances
will put an end to all pestilential dis
eases like the bubonic plague, malarial
fever, cholera, etc. There will be time
ly showers Of rain, followed by abund-
ant harvests; men will pass their lives
in the enjoyment of health and peace.
Nothing else can contribute to the
happiness Of mankind.-Calcutta In

MucR-coYETEp, POSITIONS.
There Is Always n Mig Rush to se-
cure Places as CrOupiers
at Monte Carlo.

The other day the Casino at Monte
Carlo found itself in need of ten new
croupiers. Six of the vacancies were
caused by dismissals-some for fraud,
others for excessive frivolity in con-
neetIon with the fair sex. For the
ten vacancies no fewer than 1900
persons applied. Of these 22s were
selected for examination, 102 OF
whom failed to satisfy the doctors,
The remaining 1875 were then put TO
an examination as regards education,
chiefly arithmetical. Of the ten ulti-
mately successful five were Corsicans,
the rest French and of other ma
tionalities.
The successful applicants will at
tend school for six months before
they will be allowed to work at tho
public tables--a professor" teaching

ing, While at school they receive
$50 francs per month, which is in
creased to 200 francs on promotion
to the tables. After that the annual
increases are considerab BILE, to say
nothing of various additional advan-
tages, such as free medical attend
ance and respectable pensions. A
croupier, in fact, not only starts very
well, but with a capital vista of pro-
motion and prosperity, says the Paris
Messenger.
Many of the most prosperous
tradesmen and business people at
Monte Carlo are, or have been,
croupiers-starting in business with
the savings from their salaries. Lord
Salisbury's agent at Beaulieu, for in"
stance, is an inspector at the Casino,
and one of the ablest and most
courteous business men on the whole
Riviera.
