w. A. PINkERToN's VIEWS.
Thinks Manager Collins Was MUIR
dered BY a Secret Order.

Denver, Nov 24.-An organization
similar to the Molly Maguires,' once
the terror of the Pennsylvania mining
district, is responsible for the killing
of Manager A. l.. Collins of the Snug
gler-Union mine in the Telluride min
ing district according to the opinion
of William A. Pinkerton, the head of
the great detective agency which
bears his name. Mr.. Pinkerton ar.
rived in Denver last night from Los
Angeles, California, and at the Brown
Palace hotel last evening discussed
the murder Mr.. Pinkerton is of the
opinion that the murderer of Mr.. Col
Inns can be discovered and that sys-
tematic efforts will result in the ap-
prehension of the leaders of the Or
ganization which is responsible for his
death.
Il have just come from the Pacific
coast and am therefore not entirely
familiar with the situation in Tellu-
ride said Mr.. Pinkerton, but | am
satisfied that the killing of Mr.. Col
Inns was dictated by an organization
similar to the Molly Maguires,' who
caused the death of so many men in
the Pennsylvania district in the '70s,
and which, when it was broken up.
resulted in twenty-three men being
hanged. and more than twice that
number being sent to the peniten-
tiary." -

THE MAN WITHIN THE GUN.

Here is the l6-inch gun which has
just been completed at the Watervliet
arsenal. This view shows the muzzle.
with a man in 1t whose weight Is l65
pounds. The gun Is immense. when one
considers the quality of the metal con.
talned in it, which Is. OF course. the
best that science and skill can produce
at the present time. 1t Is built up Of
nine pieces of steel forgings, the first
piece being the tube, all in one piece,
4S feet long The whole length Of the
finished gun is 49 feet, the diameter az
breech end is 515 feet. and at muzzle
. feet inches. Its weight Is 1870 tons,
and 1t is rified with 81 grooves. The
breech-loadlng mechanism Is operated
by the one movement of turning a
crank. Twenty turns of the crank
swings the breech block out ready for
the firing. which is done by pulling a
lanyard after the primer has been
placed In position and connected with
electric contact. The firing mechan-
ism is connected so as to make 1t i'm
possible 10 explode the primer before
the breech block is properly closed and
locked.

The disease. according to the physl-

rounding atmosphere. But the super
natural features are the result Of true

Scientific Agriculture.

Secretary Wilson believes that not
enough attention Is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges OF to-day.
and he has taken up the agitation OF
this matter as II hobby. Wherever he
makes II speech he tells his hearers that
= his department utlllzes the services OF
every young man 1t can lind who has
had thorough training IN some branch
OF scientific agriculture There is u
great demand for this kind OF service.
and the department has the utmost diff.
hculty In holding on TO its experts be-
cause OF the growing outside calls that
are being made on them. There are
about two thousand people IN the De-
partment Of Agriculture who are en-
gagged on scientific agricultural work,
yet hardly one OF them came Into the
government service fully equipped. Sec.
retary Wilson calls attention to this
fact to emphasize his statement that
the colleges should give more thought
and attention to the development Of
agricultural sciences. There are some
fifty agricultural colleges In the coun-
try calling for CONF etent teachers. and
some sixty or seyJhty agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, where there is al
ways an opening for trained scientist.
There is money In becoming an agricul-
tural expert, and Secretary Wilson
thinks that our young men would do
well to choose such a profession rather

END OF A MouNrAlN.CLIMeeR.
Alpine Adventure that Caused the
Death of Four Men.

Alpine Adventure that Caused the
Death of Four Men.
Owen Glynne Jones. who was killed
with three guides while climbing the
white Tooth" in the Alps three years
ago. was one of the greatest OF noun
tain-cllmbers. The details of the ac-
cident which ended his life at 81 are
recounted by Harold Spender in Nc
Clure's Magazine. Jones was safe and
scientific climber. and his death was
due to no fault of his own. The five
men in the party. tied together with a
rope thirty feet between man and man.
proceeded in this order: The guides
Furrer and Zurbriggen. first, then
Glynne Jones. Vuignier. another guide,
and f. W. Hill, who was a schoolmas-
ter like Jones, and who. like him. pur-
sued Notwithstanding as n sport.
Coming to difficult buttress ten feet
high, Furrer, who was in advance.
could not find hold. 1t was necessary
for him to mount first, and then pull the
others up when he had secured foot
hold; so Zurbriggen and Jones put an
ice-ax under him to stand on. and
crouched down to hold 1t. AS they
could not see what Furrer was doing
above them. they were unprepared for
sudden shock.
1t Is evident that these men were de
pending on Furrer's success In getting
;he hand-hold for which he was reach
Ing. Mr.. Hill. who was some feet be-
low the group about the ice-ax, saw
Furrer slip. He fell upon the two OBJ
livious men beneath him. All three
went, striking Nuignier, who stood be-
tween Hill and the three falling men.
Hill had instinctlvely turned to the
rock to get u firm hold, expecting to be
carried away with the other men; but
after few seconds he realized that he
was safe and alone. Looking round. he
saw his companions sliding mt fatal
speed down the rock into the abyss.
Between him and the unfortunate men,
who We're being hurled to sure death,
he saw thirty feet of rope dangling from
his waist. The faithful Vuignier had
Ihsteneu II 10 some point In the rock to
protect his master. The weight of the
four bodies had broken the rope, and
this saved Mr. Hills life.
After two days of hardship. climbing
alone, Mr.. Hill arrived at the hotel.
The lesson here for all climbers. those
who make sport of 1t and jest with
death, and those who, in unsought
predicament, need to know how to
climb, is this: Those men blundered
by allowing the fate OF three men to
depend ON one mans hand hold. Again,
SO far as Is possible. every man In
climbing party should know what the
others are doing. In order not to be TAX
en- unawares, as were the unfortunate
men who held the ax under Furrers
