To the MINING JOURNAL.
The appointment of postmaster is one
of several important matters agitating
the public mind.
For myself care not who Of the pres
ent applicants gets it, knowing all to be
alike without party following or in
fiuence.
In fact, believe Hon. George A.
Pearre would become very much
stronger man if he would cast all aside
and appoint some sound good. COM
petent citizen who does not look to
politics for rewards he cannot earn. 1t
would be better for him to appoint
good democrat than any of the appli-
cants whose names have been published.
am interested, too in the reason why
Hon. B. A. Richmond should be regard
ed as having any interest in our post
affairs. 1t is true, he has long been held
as our particular, special and final-resort
party hero, but even this does not seem
to confer any right upon him to name
our p"blic servant, as it is reported he
did four years ago.
Appealing to Caesar, |, therefore, ask
Col. Pearre to cast aside the list of ap-
plicants he has and find an accommodate
ing, enterprising business man who will
best carry out the peoples as we'll as
his own wish in the matter. For know
that the better the people are served the
better he will like it.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
Kindly allow me to say few words
in regard to present street lights.
In the first place, would like to ask
have not our Mayor and Council con-
tract with the Electric Lighting COM
pany for furnishing street lights? If so,
what candle-pOwer does the contract
call for, and does not that contract pro-
vide for dockage for all lights not burn
ing. A2ain-dOes not that contract call
for turning on the lights at certain
time after shutdown?
In regard to the candle-power | know
that some years ago the town required
the arc lights for street lighting to be of
1000 candle-power, but now there are
some arcs that do not provide that
amount of light. Does the town pay for
more than it gets?
The long nights are now upon us, and
as our people have to leave their homes
good while before dawn they are often
compelled to walk in the dark, or do as
l heard an old man say last Monday
morning eight their mining lamps to
find the electric lights
Now, see no reason why our lights
will not burn just as we'll as the lights of
other towns, and l feel sure that the
management of the lighting plant will
see to it that we get all our agreement
calls for if they are only told by the
proper authority that we want all of it.
But if they cannot give us as good ser
vice as other lghting-plants give to
other towns, then let the town author
tiles provide us with plant to he owned
by the town.
believe Cumberland owns her own
plant, has better service, and light there
costs less than ours. Yours truly,
CITIZEN.

basket ball. The latter was defeated by
score of 20 to ).
Shortly after the football game started
Friday afternoon of last week at the
Driving Park between Cumberland
team and the State Normal, Daniel McC.
Carl, of Cumberland, had his left leg
dislocated at the thigh. A Normal
School player had broken through the
line and was sprinting for goal. Carl
gathered him and both fell. By some
curious consensus peculiar to this game,
when a man is down it is the duty of the
other 81 to pile on him until the referee,
after appeal to the umpire, decides that
the fall was properly made and the pile
accurately stacked. Anyway i'll this in

understood that the wreck had ruptured

his spine had been broken, but i'll the

The "Crescents' of this place and the
Midland team played game of foot
ball Wednesday afternoon at the Driv-
ing Park, resulting i'll favor of Midland
by score of 10.
The "Crescents' challenged the third
team of Midland to average 1875 pounds
per capita, their team being of that
weight, but when Midland arrived they
averaged 1875 pounds. They had 3 first
team players. The celebrated "Slugger"
Hilleary played full back and made both
touch downs.
Taken altogether it was very inter-
esting game and would have resulted
differently but for the "Slugger."

Miss ELLEN G.. CHAMBERS.
At last the book of Life is closed
And sealed by death forever;
The Master called unto Himself
His faithful servant ever.
Like weary toiler of the day,
When sunsets ray is fieeting,
Her spirit Heavenward took its way
There with dear kindred meeting.
As noble ship, on ocean tossed,
Strives bravely to its haven,
So on LIES stormy, tickle sea,
Our loved one strove for Heaven.
Her neighbor loved she as herself
Oft sharing in his sorrow;
To all she gave the helping hand
And thought not of the morrow.
Her charity and tenderness
For all in hour of trial
A monument must ever be
To her pure self-denial.
O, noble soul thrice noble now -
Though all things else may perish,
Thy sterling worth we'll ever prize
Thy memry dear we'll cherish.
Thy work is done--the battles Der
Thine surely is the victory;
In triumph thou forevermore
Art crowned with Immortality.

Building superstitions.

In remote times sacrifice of somt
kind was always offered at the compile
ton of building, either public or pri
vate. Sacrifices were not only offered
at the completion of structures OF al
kinds. The foundations themselves
were usually laid in blood, whether the
structure was castle, bridge, cottage
or church. Originally-trac the sub
ject BACK to heathenish times-the sac
rifice was offered to the god under
whose protection the building was
placed. In Christian times the bloody
rite was retained, but was given anOth
er Significance. In those days it was
generally believed that no edifice would
stand unless the cornerstone was lait
in mortar mixed with blood. Usually
the blood was obtained by sacrificing
dog, pig. wolf. a black cock or 8
goat, and not unfrequently some male
factors blood was poured out to make
the ceremony more impressive.
