THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

The Tribune learns with deep regret
of the sudden death of an old news
paper friend, A. w. Merrick, Of pneu-
monia. at Deadwood, South Dakota;
MI. Merrick was the pioneer publisher
of the Black Hills. In 1876 the editor
of the Bismarck Tribune. who was
then with the Chicago Daily Tele-
graph, met Mr.. Merrick in a bowling
alley on Clark street AMI the chance
acquaintance grew into friendship.
Mr.. Merrick was a veteran newspaper
man but not a practical printer. The
Bismarck Tribune editor selected the
type and other material for Mr. Mer-
rick's Black Hills venture-the Pho
neer-and expected at that time to fol-
low the plant to the Hills. Mr.. Mer-
rick did a great deal to advertise the
Black Hills country in the early days,
but he lacked business. sagacity-was
too acknowledgements knew the value
of a dollar--and his newspaper career

and the country than to himself.
Since territorial days and the sund r.
ing of the ties that bound the north
erners with the early pioneers of the
southland, we have not been in close
touch with newspaper men of South
Dakota but it is hoped that the latter
years of that veteran soldier journal
ist were pleasant, peaceful and pros
porous.
The banquet of representative news
paper men of the daily press of the
United States in honor of Rrince
Henry. given by Herman Ridder, of
the Stats Zeitung, at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York on the evening Of
the 18th, was a brilliant affair. 1t is
hoped the press of North Dakota was
represented by Major Edwards of the
Forum-who is down east" some
where. The Bismarck Tribune editor
was sorry to send regrets.

The accident in Pulver's valley was per-
haps as strange happening as the an
nails of railroading in the middle west can
show. To a certain order of minds 1t had
the cast and color of a miracle; to the
more literal and hardheaded 1t appealed as
pure coincidence: but to both it was, per-
haps. equally astounding and impressive

the result of a cross order-that terrifying
shadow of doom and disgrace which hovers
over every train dispatcher's life, though
happily not so menacing as formerly,
owing to improved methods.
1 had been some three months in the dis
patcher's office. My position was that of

The Sponge Supply.

tohi iho -NeH 1oFk evening POSt.
At the Trinidad agricultural exhibition
specimens Of spenges which had been col
lected on the beach at Tobago were on
show. The sponges were not large but
were soft IN texture, minutely porous, and
the presence OF large silicious spicuies, so
common in inferior kinds, was not appar-
ent They resembled very much what are
sold as face sponges. In thesepecimens ex-
hibited 1t was seen that the structure was
tender and easily pulled to pieces, showing
that they would not last long in use. 1t
was explained, however, that the specimens
were taken from the beach, and there was
nothing to show how long they had been
exposed to the rolling of the breakers, the
heat OF the sun and the erosion of sand and
pebbles al the beach, which would natural
ly tend to rot the texture of a sponge
Such, however, Is the quality that it is
thought, says the Bulletin of Miscellane-
Gus Information" tTrfnfdad) a trial might
usefully be made by skilled diver on the
reefs where they are produced, to ascertain
whether the quality would be of fair mar
ket value, If harvested direct from their
ha bitat. Such an experiment would cost
but little, and, il successful. would confer
a blessing on the little island of Tobago so
long hampered by financial difficulties In
the Bahamas the export for 1898 was val
ued at f97 ,512, II the reefs of Toba go
should prove as fertile OF marketable
sponges as those Of the Bahamas 1t would
mean the establishment of a new and per

in soft gieamings, cattle stood in the still
shadows of trees, or thirstily pushed their
red noStrils into the streams. horses at
plOw and mower stopped without bidding,
heaving their dripping tanks, while the
faces of the working men were scarlet. A
thin. hot steam seemed to fill all space, the
sun looked family dim; yet out of it an
intolerable heat seemed to beat as from
the open door of a furnace All life seemed
half mad with suffering. Up in the Office
at Trayner we had been working since
morning in great discomfort. Old WIKI,
after a gasping puff. said the weather felt
mered away on the brass, his face wet, but
pallid. 1 felt irritable and weak. The heat
was stupefying.
The big eastern special. however, had not
been gone three minutes before the Office
force awoke to such activity as perhaps it
had never known before, for Saniine sud-
denly sprang to his feet, with his hand in
his hair and his face like ashes. A strange,
pitiful note came from his lips. He stag
gered back, looking with wild eyes at the
train sheet.

strides he was at Charley's table. Where?

is artist enough to realize the value of

skaters sets, consisting Of boa and muff,
have been made up at the fur shops, and

What Children Are Wearing.
Though the beginning OF the year always
brings conspicuous indications Of future
fashions for grown-ups and the windows
are filled with an incongruous show OF
muslins and Powered dimities. the children
take their seasons as they come. Little
boys at this hour are finding the intensest
comfort in their fur caps. and mothers who
regulate the fashions for very young men
put their blonde boys In caps of light gray
caracule and the brown-haired little chaps
in caps of SEAL Small boys have OF their
own free will started up a trade In coon
Boone cap and double-breasted pilot
cloth coat with a storm collar and vertical
band pockets is the lofty ambition IN dress
of the sturdy ten-year-old.
At the very tenderest age the American
girl begins to express her preferences in
colors and materials and dictate her ward
robe. Even the immature belle of ten plays
in the park of an afternoon in a wide olack
felt or velvet hat adorned with plume
that might have glorified the helmet of Ma
varre. There Is no doubt that this rich and
picturesque headgear sets off her fair beau
ty and chimes well with her gray corduroy
coat, boasting a wide collar OF Irish c-o-
chet lace. She Is not, however, as satisfac-
tory an object as the girl who wears q
three-caped position coat of tough, plain
green Irish frieze, nor the very childish
figures In bright red melton coats trimmed
with squirrel fur and topped off by cozy
melton hoods that have bands of the soft
gray fur framing the dimpled faces within.
