Rev. Sam Jones on one occasion de.
livered his sermon called "Wives and
Husbands before an immense gather
ing in Birmingham, Ala. He dwet par
ticularly on the beauty and utility oi
mutual for orbearance between husbands
and wives, and then, as though desirous
OF showing the rarity OF that quality
said
"If there is a woman in this vast gath
ering who has never said an unkind
word to her husband, she will please
stand up"
A woman arose as though she had
been challenged, snd Jones, beckoning
her with both arms, called cut enthusl-
ustically:
Come here, sister! come right up
here to the platform. l want this aud
ience to see you"
The womag did as hidden, and when
she reached the preachers side, was pre-
sented to the throng as the ''most beau
tifnl woman in Birmingham Jones,
continuing his address, asked any man
who had never spoken an unkind word
to his wife to make himself known.
Promptly arose ten big, strapping. self
conscious chaps, who started for the
platform without further bidding, and
with an air that suggested the anticipa-
tion of praise from the preacher, who, as
they neared him, said:
That's right. my menl Come right
up! | want every ybody here to gaze on

The Laying of the

The entire universe has had its ear TO
the earth the past few days listening for
the first electric signal that announces
the distance of the Pacific ocean has
been overcome by science. The con-
Meeting ink will be made and the world
will hear the message finished under the
waters.
The work was that of an individual,
John w. Mackey. 1t was the gigantic
conception of the man. He never dwelt
in the small tralfics, but went into man.
moth affairs. The Pacific cable was the
colossal undertaking of his life, and
while he died before the wonderful
work was completed, yet he leaves be-
hind him monument greater than has
been built to the memory OF man in
bronze or masonry.
The queer feature is the hand that

Tonopah is Won
derful.

G. d. Van Duzer came in from Tono-
pah Monday evening. He is just from
the camp Of phenomenal strikes.
Each time go to Touopah," said Mr..
Van Duzer, "there is series of strikes,
and each time the town seems liyelier and
larger. | inspected the famous Mizpah
mine while there this time and wish to
set at rest rumors that the mine looks
splendid at the five hundred foot level,
Manager Oddie has certainly demon
strated his ability as "A mining man. The
mine has been splendidly developed and
there are now over one and one-half
miles of underground workings. The
mine is the greatest 10 America to-day
On the three hundred foot level, which
by the way, has opened up the vein, in
an easterly and westerly direction for
seventeen hundred feet ore body is con-
tinuous. They are drifting east and
west and in the face of each drift the
ledge is strong, large and of high value.
"On the four hundred level the ore is
fabulously rich. Fifteen pounds of rock
shows assay values of 1900 ounces of sill
yer and $3.50 per ton in gold. The ledge
is large. The main working shaft was
sunk to the north of the vein and in the
300 foot level they have drifted south
900 feet, cutting eleven lodges. AT the
500 foot level they have crosscut south
and encountered two veins, the first of
which on the east and west drift has
opened up rich.
There is by careful estimate about fif-
teen million dollars in sight. Mr. Oddie
is pushing the work vigorously and in
telligently. The company is simply de
veloping the mine preparatory. to open
ing up large bodies OF ore and the ercc-
ton of great reduction works.
"Another sensational strike is the one
in the Monta Tonopah property
where the shaft encountered an un-
known and new ore body. Telegrams
received this evei ing state that it is very
rich.

Buying the Pres
entS.

Christmas shopping has begun.
These are days when it is a pleasure
to watch the faces and the movements
of people in the streets. Human nature
gives itself dead away when the time for
buying Christmas presents comes.
The great problem from youth to age
is how to adjust the purchases to the
purse and still leave no one out. This
is what makes the child grave faced, the
mother anxious, the father--well, when
the problem becomes to tough, the father
goes somewhere and braces up. Could
the thoughts on peoples faces during
the holiday purchases be set to words,
what book they would make.
Mammas planning surprises tor the
children, children planning surprises for
mamma, and for younger brothers and
sisters. Sweethearts anticipating Val

work, the units that make up the multi

brought to mind when Jones did IA good

Then some who were here last year and
as heartily as any of US gave the CHI list

the silver mines of Nevada there would
have been but John Mackey, the miner.
With her silver she made John Mackey
the millionaire, and he, with the bullion
gathered from the treasure box of the
Comstock lode, gives to the world a
strand of steel that tells of life, Of death,
of victory, of defeat, of sorrows and joys
and cuts dreary hours to seconds.
To John Mackey,s memory belong the
eulogies that are now being crow ned up
on his mausoleum. To Nevada belongs
the credit of the gold that made the con
ception ripen into reality. The former
will be crowned; the latter forgotten. -

terminals we're as valuable now as they
we're in 1894, and the railroad attorney
said that while he was not an expert on
that subject, and would consider that Mr..
McIntosh's opinion should be as good as
his own, be would say he thought all
property in Omaha should show an in
crease in value in that period Of years.
As in the other railroad cases. Mr.. Nc
Intosh introduced records Of the United
States court with testimony Of officers Of
the Omaha road as TO the value OF certain
portions Of the property Of the company.
In one place in this recorded testimony
John B. Berry was shown to have stated
that the terminals Of the Omaha road had
cost 1886, 500 prior TO 1886 and were at
the present time much more valuable.
Mr.. shean asked Mr.. Mcintosh IL he would
please state his own opinion Of the value
of the terminals and to this Mr. Mcintosh
nswered that he was only a general at
torney, but IL he were a railroad attorney
he would probably be informed on those
matters and qualified to answer such ques-
tions. Mr.. Sheean then asked: do you
decline to give me your honest opinion of
the value Of those terminals, Mr.. McIn-
tosh?" To this question Mr.. Mcintosh
made no reply, but resumed his reading Of
testimony.
