.PENs1oNING RAILWAY EMPLOYEES

-. -. ~ Ies1Ie . "SeniI' y
It Is a noteworthy fact that the railroad
corporations in this country were the hrst
to set the excellent example among large
EMPLOYERS of labor of establishing a pension
system for employees incapacitated by age or
physical inability for further service. The
Pennsylvania road has had such a system
in operation for several years. and now the
Reading Railway company has announced q
similar plan. All employees not appointed by
the board ,of directors to executive positions
who have reached the age of 10 years, will
be retired, and If they have been in the EN-
sploy OF the company for thirty years they
will be pensioned. All employees over s.
years old, who have been in the service fol
thirty years, and who have become incapaci-
tated, will be retired and pensioned. People
who have become affected by the demagogie
talk about the greed and inhumanity OF cap
iitalists should make note OF this.

The Care of the Teeth.

The Care of the Teeth. By Samuel A.
Hopkins M. D.. Professor of Theory and
|. Practice of Dentistry in Tufts College
Dental School. New York: D. Appleton &
Co. -, ,.
The commendatory feature Of this book is
the clear and convincing demonstration by
Professor Hopkins, who is teacher OF the
art of dentistry, that, If proper care Is taken
Of the teeth, by any individual, there is posi-
| lively no need for dentistry whatever. He
shows, moreover, that it is mot difficult
operation to perform ones duty to his teeth
If one is willing to curb his appetite and
stick to diet conducive to the welfare Of his
| teeth and defend them from acid producing
bacteria and to stop weakening the teeth
by eating food requiring little mastication.
The latter pernicious practice, Professor
Hopkins insists, will result in few thou
sand years in changing the human race so
much that there will be merely hole in the
face into which liquid food will be poured
! for sustenance. The book throughout is full
| of practical suggestions to preserve the in
! tegrity of the teeth ~ -

| This volume is devoted to the praise Of

Of all the great in art and letters, who have

Books and Authors
ENGLISH AND AMERICAN BOOKS

John Lane, the English publisher, who has
branch house in New York, in a recent in
terview published III the London Mall, is re-
ported thus on American and English litera-
ture: speaking generally, Mr.. Lane consid-
cred that the popular American writer whose
sales always approach the record" belonged
to slightly higher order than the most popu-
lar English writers, and that, consequently,
across the Atlantic it was more common to
find the combination of high sales and artistic
excellence. Mr. Lane has made a reputation
in this country for the publication OF a certain
order OF books that has come to be generally
known as 'Vigo-street bellies lettres,' and he
has found a large market for his publications
in America. 1T is worth remembering said
Mr.. Lane, that every great English writer
from Carlyle to Kenneth Grahame has first
been recognized in America Recently Henry
Harland's very remarkable novel, My Lady
Paramount has sold we'll in America, as have
Stephen Phillips poems. Mr.. Lane admits
that to a certain degree the American market
follows the English, and book with a vogue
here will generally have one in the United
States. 1t is worth remembering that garden
ing books. of which Mr.. lane has issued SO
many, and which have for the last two years
been in great demand in England, have also
sold we'll on the other side"

MINING NEWS.

Ing m NOnDfa, where uc lo lnttT- ested in some coal mines, has been worked on lease since last July by two experienced miners. There are two tunnels on the ledge, one from the north side of the hill and one from the south side The leasers have found good ore be- tween the two levels, having sunk a winze forty-five feet down from the upper tunnel. They are now stoping out some very rich silver ore.
 Globe Times: In an interview with Chas. N. Lewis, who has been in the employ of the Gold Noun tain Mining company, located in Rattlesnakc canon, Galnria mountains, and owned by the Fleming brothers, said the future seemed to be pretty well assured. They have d tunnel 150 feet, with cross cuts, about 100 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, and have taken out about 10000 ton of free milling gold ore, that runs from $6.50 to $500 per ton. Sergeant Chas Rye purchased from Jack Gardner, l7 claims, who was the original discoverer Ex-Governor Grant, of Colorado, and Capt Overton are financially interested in the camp.
 Jerome Reporter: The latest we have heard from G. w. Hull iS that he is in New York, arranging for thirty-ton smelter to be put in his property in Mescal gulch. Development work on the 10l, l02 and 103, by the Venture Hill min ing company showed those claims in favorable light; since that work on the Verde Apex group, which lies just west of Mir. Hull's property, has uncovered ore that dips in his direction. This late showing of the Verde Apex is re- sponsible for his early decision to bring on shelter. The intention Is to put up 30-ton jacket. MT. Hull Is tireless in his effort to de- velop this property and we are very anxious to see him succeed.
 Prescott Prospect: There was a good deal of talk on the street Wednesday about a strike made by the railroad graders on the Big Bug branch of the P. x k. They were cutting through the ground of the Wizard mine and struck an 8-foot ledge running parallel with the cut. It was said that the railroad work opened up $50 feet of the ledge The deepest part of the cut is about forty feet, and it Is all in ore, carrying gold silver and copper to the amount of S25 to $35 per ton. This is the first instance, in this country at least where railroad graders have cut an important mineral deposit. The ground is the property of Dillon x O'Donnell, and adjoins the grounds of the Providence Gold Mining Company.
 Range News: Superintendent King of the Eagle group of mines, now operated by the Gold Hill Mining < Milling company, has put force to sink deeper the old Eagle shaft while others are at work in the tunnel below raising upward. Within two weeks he will have the two connected which will furnish a good air supply when a winz will be sunk on the ore body

Latest Summary of the Results of the
Disaster at the Colorado
.. Mines.

Telluride, Col, March 1.-The number
or lives lost in the four avalanches that
swept down the sides Of Smuggler noun
tain yesterday IS now estimated at from
twenty to twenty-five. Fourteen men are
known TO have been killed, an unknown
number are buried under the snow and
twelve badly injured persons are in the
hospital. Several other men who were
hurt are at their homes. 1t is believed
that few If any more bodies can be recov-
cred until the snow melts.

breakfast and was in the stable sad
ding his animals when me heard a ter
| rife crashing. The stable grew suddenly
dark, and, stepping to the door, he found
the air filled with flying snow. A few SEC
| onds later it grew light again and he saw
the tram cable swinging about and buck
cts rolling down hill. He could sec
nothing of the boarding and bunk house,
but looking down the hill. he saw boards
and timbers sticking out of the snow and
! scattered about. He then went up to
where the ore and tram house had stood
and saw what he thought was a piece of
overalls. Grasping it he pulled out The
body OF Gus Kraul, terribly mangled and

POOR BOOKKEEPING
The City Treasurer of Milwaukee
Sounds a Warning.
BIG DELINQUENT TAX DEFICIT
Tax Accounts So Kept That Claims
Outlaw and BECOME
Total Loss.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, March City Treasurer
William Bollow reported to-day to the
mayor regarding the system of bookkeep-
ing and the city's financial transactions.
Grave faults are found.
Coupled with the statement that the
city has deficit of $215,000 on account
of delinquent taxes, he says: "Unless a
remedy is provided in the near future the
finances of the city are bound to become
seriously complicated. Too much stress
cannot be put on. the urgent necessity Of
immediate action.
The report shows that since the change
in the system Of bookkeeping was made
in 1881. the city has spent in anticipation
of the tax collection about $215,000 in ex-
cess of what really was collected This
expenditure has been caused by the
faulty manner of keeping tax accounts,
and the records of taxes bid in by the city,
which are now outlaWed and a total loss
to the municipality.
The system has been to borrow money
before the return Of the treasurer's war
rant and to pay Indebtedness when the
money collected was turned over to the
city.
1t had been the custom not to figure on
delinquent taxpayers, and the only pro-
tective measure for the city was to bid
in for the certificates Up to the present
time there have been about $169, 900 of
these outlawed certificates and the prop
erty which might have been turned over
to the city was never further considered.
