Found Riches in Alaska,

William Lawrence, an Austrian min
er, who left Hazleton three years ago,
returned yesterday with fortune of
$4,000 which he made at Cape Nome,
Alaska. Lawrence toled for two years
in the gold fields before he struck the
pocket that yielded him a fortune. He
will leave next week for Austria and
will bring his aged parents to this coun-
try to share his good fortune.

Mr.. young's Armor.

The beautiful sui of amor worn
by Mr.. James Young in the first
act of "Quo Vadis" has an inter
esting history, it being gift to
Mr.. Young from a noted tragedi-
an. Mr.. Young was juvenile lea
ding man for Thomas Keene, and
his histrionic ability and in
clination for hard work endeared
him TO the star.
After Keene's death it was dis
covered that he had bequeathed
his favorite suit of armor to Mr..
Young. in appreciation of his ser
vices.
The suit is of exquisite work
manship and is almost unique,
there being but one like it, which
is in the British museum.
MIR. Young is, naturally, very
proud of 80 rare a suit, not only
for its intrinsic value, but for all
that the giving of it implies from
so great a genius as Keene, whose
mantle. it is said by many, has
fallen on the shoulders of his
youthful protsgs.

CORY, for an element of specula-
ton enters into all branches of
commerce and industry.
A retrospect of mining in Crit
tenden and adjoining counties will
show that where skill and capital
have been properly applied in mi
ming operations the result has been
the creation of richessfor individ-
uals and companies. Statistics
prove that the losses in legitimate
mining enterprises have been less
than so per cent, while in ordina-
ry mercantile pursuits, usually
classed as non-speculative, the
percentage of loss is over 90 per
cent.
Proportionatcly to the money
invested mining pays larger re-
turns than any other industry, and
the history of mining in the said
counties during the past year tells
the story in very emphatic lan-
guage. Investments in leases
prospected or not prospected can
be made, either in large or small
amounts, and when judicionsly
made amply repay the investor.
There is always money for mining
investments, but many would be
in 1estors fancy that nothing but
developed mine should have mon
ey put into it. The real miner
knows that this is often a mistake
The men who have made the most
money out of mines in this coun-
try have not done SO by buying
thoroughly developed mines at
full value, loaded with commits
sions. The best money has been
made by developing prospects in
to mines. That is the way big
money is made in mining; that
way lies the profit. The greatest
curse ever known to the mining
industry and to the successful de-
velopment of a mining property
is this thing prejudice. 1t is the
offspring of ignorance, the tyrant
that enslaves mankind.

LEGITIMACY OF MINING.
An Interesting end Rather Unique
Contribution.

EDITOR Press: The search for
precious metals commenced early
in the history of the world, and
interest in this occupation has
steadily increased with the result
that mining is now recognized as
one of the most profitable indus
tries of the present day. Until
quite recently this pursuit was re-
garded as a purely speculative one
But the wonderful success achiev-
ed during the past few years. all
of which is the direct result of
the extensive progress that has
lately been made in scientific mi
ming and metallurgy, have almost
entirely overcome the prejudices
which formerly existed against
this occupation; and today min
ing is recognized by those best in
formed on the subject as being as
safe as any industry on earth;
with the additional advantage that
under careful and honest manage
ment there is no limit to the prof
its that can be made. 1t is so re-
cognized by the leading bankers
and financiers of the entire world,
many of whom have enormous for
tunes invested in the business and
who derive their chief income
from the profits of this pursuit.
The preJudices against mining,
like an hereditary faint, still cling
to the ultra conservative, the tim
id and the less ambitious. Such
notions and ideas of mining,
though well mentioned, are based
upon the theory that some one
has lost money, either by mining
or mining stock speculations.
Millions are sunk yearly in rail
road, industrial, corn, wheat, pork
and other speculations, yet no one
thinks of condeming those indus
tries, and as to profits in mining
there is today as much money in
vested In mining as IN banking;
that the former pays much better
dividends, is safer and far more
profitable than the latter.
That there are risks in mining
as we'll as in other pursuits is well
known to all reasonable minds, but
that mining produces better and
quicker profits than any other in
dustrial pursuit is evidenced by
the score of multi-millionaires who
have sprung into prominence du-
ring the past few years. While in
a general sense the mining inter-
est may be termed speculative, it
does not stand alone in this cate

other important item in up-to-

CONFEDERATE HOME
Established by Legislature. Anti
Cigarette Bill Killed.
LAST WEEK Of The LEGISLATURE.

DEAR PRESS: We have made
splendid progress this week in pas
sing bills and advancing work, but
a score OF important measures
must be acted upon within the
next eight days, or an extra session
would he imperative.
The four redistricting bills have
been passed by the house this
week, without change from com
mlttee reports, by a strict party
vote.
The best indication that the last
trace of Bitterness engendered by
the great civil war is fast being
obiterated was demonstrated last
Wednesday when the house voted
on the bill appropriating money
TO establish home for disabled
confederates. The bill had previ-
onsly passed the Senate by q unan-
lmous vote, and a roll call in the
house only showed one negative
vote Gov, Worthington made a
pathetic appeal for those who by
bareing their breasts to the lead
en- hail of a superior foe, had
shown that they were honest and
patriotic in the sdefence of their
snd and property" Every ex-
Federal soldier in both houses
openly championed the bill.
The Local Option bill vas de-
ieated in the Senate by the decis-
I've vote of 81 to 16. This was a

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Session Occupied With Discussion of .-- Proposed Constitution.

New Haven Conn, March 5.-The Ma tonal Convention of the Knights of Co., lumbus was continued today, the session being occupied with the discussion of the proposed constitution, especially the ar- ticles relating to insurance rates. The Connecticut councils sent in a resolution asking that the rates be lowered to a level premium for members of the order who are sixty years of age and over. The Supreme Knight was authorized to appoint a committee of five to make such revision. The plan to create a department by which associate members could enjoy the advantages of insurance was defeated by a vote of 43 to g.
 The new constitution drafted at Cliff Haven. N. Y-, last June. except that part of it which refers to the assessment of members not over 60 years of age, was ratified. The Connecticut delegates want cd level assessment applied to those members and the convention voted that a committee of five be appointed to con- slider this proposition and report upon it at next convention. In all probability the proposition will be adopted. The conven- ton elected four new directors each to serve three years as follows: George F. Monaghan, Detroit; James X. Flaherty, Philadelphia; James A Burns, Orange, N. J., and Daniel J. Callahan, Norfolk,

advocate of the Nicaraguan route. All the members of the subcommittee. ex- cept Senator Kittredge, are also pro- nounced in their advocacy of that route, and he voted against the action of the subcommittee. MT. Pritchard was ab- sent, but he. too, Is known to favor the Nicaragua route
 The legal questions involved were not examined, and Senator Morgan is writing as the report of the full committee in favor of the Nicaraguan route.
 Senator Hanna Is stiil actively opposed to the Niceraguan route, and will fight 1t In committee, although he can accom- plish nothing except to help the minority report, which will probably be signed also by Senator Kittredge and perhaps one or two other members of tho commit tee, and this will bring the whole ques- tion before the Senate to betfought out < on its merits.
 almost daily now and hope to report the bill within a week. Today the testimony of Gen. Abbott United States army, re- tired, was taken. He was formerly chief national Board that met in Paris and passed upon the question of the practica- bility of the Panama Canal at the time De Lesseps was at the head of the com sDdny. Gen. ADDoLt Salu that ne Stil De- '1ieved the Panama route to, be the most feasible and practicable, and thinks the United States should accept the offer of
 the Panama Company to sell it's property
 for $f0,0000O0.
 What gives the friends of the Panama
 route more concern than the opposition of the Senate Committee Is the report from Paris that the Colombian government announces that it must be dealt with De. fore any. Transfer of the. title to the United States Is made. The friends of the canal project think that this new
 feature of the controversy may cause some trouble and delay and lead the people of the United States generally and
 persons in Congress particularly to exag- gerate the difficulties that stand in the way of bargain between the United
 States and the Panama Company. Ap- parently no official notice has been taken of the dispatch that the Anglo-F French syndicate has offered the Panama Com pany $s0.00000o for what the United
 States has been asked to buy for $40.o0o,- GOO. and the Colombian Minister and the counsel of the Panama Company in this oity do not believe it. At any rate, the United States has an option for one year.

Mutual Insurance Companies.

CutIin dealt at some length on the vast differences in the insurance laws of the various States. No two States treated the insurance companies alike-Minnesota and several other States had no law authorizing purely city mutual insurance companies. It was the duty of the National Associa- tion to endeavor to promote legislation in every State to permit both farm and city mutual insurance companies. The President was authorized to appoint a Special Committe on Resolutions and Constitution. The committee was later announced as follows: J. J. Furlong oi this city E. D. Babcock of Iowa. c. A Hamm, Wisconsin; F. J. Martin. Wash ington; NJ. c. Roberts, Tennessee; B. R Stouffer. Nebraska: C. P. Mayes Indiana and c. F. Mengenback. Kansas.

MT. Choate elo- quently referred to two dreamers who had lived 150 years apart. The first was Benjamin Franklin, who pictured the American continent peopled and ruled by the British; the second was Lord Rosebery, who indulged in pictures of what might have happened if separation had not occurred. MT. Choate asked If the actual picture seen today was not far grander than the pictures either of Franklin or Lord Rosebery.
