Doom is ON to stay. More miners
Than mines have been developed thus
far, but that is as it should be; yet
some really good mining prospects in
gold, silver, copper and other min
erals have materialized. Everybody
has his pockets or window siIls full of
specimens, and examines rock with
an eye-glass like an expert. Just
wait till the Vulcan smelter starts
up in three or four weeks from now.
But a very great interest is taken
IN the Tonopah outlook at the pres
ent time and the condition and inten-
tions of the company in control. We
all realize and concede the fabulous
richness of the mines, but what has
come over the spirit of the rich To-
nopah dream and given it a black
eye. Trouble and opposition in the
company are assigned as the cause,
all OF which is exceedingly detrimen-
tai both inside and out. 1t certainly
is to be hoped that this self-knocking
business will get Strengthened out

An Odd Enulish Law.

1t is an odd fact that in England
the cultivation of tobacco as crop
is prohibited BY IL tax so high on ev-
ery acre sown with tobacco seed
that no Englishman could afford to
grow it. except as an expensive fad.
The origin Of this prohibition is
still more curious, 1t originated IN
the reign of Charles II, when parlia-
mcnt passed a law forbdding the
Growth of tobacco in England for
the express purpose of encouraging
trade with the new colony of Nir-
rinia.

He Got a Bed.

"a good story about Battleax'
Gleason was dug up the other day."
said the man from Long Island City.
cts a story which gives some clew
to the eX-mayor's success as a polit-
zeal leader. 1t happened in 1896,
when he was out in indianapolis as
delegate to the national conven-
ton which nominated Palmer and
Buckner. The hotel accommodations
in the Indiana city were not the la--
gcst or the best, and by the time
the advance guard had got rooms
the town was filed to overlooking.
When the mayor arrived, everybody
asked him what he was going to do
to get place TO sleep.
"Dor he said. What am | GO
ing to do? just watch me-, And
they watched him. With The result
that he had the laugh on the whole
crowd of them. He simply went to
a hospital, hired private room at
$40 week and slept there in the
grcatest comfort for two nights
while the other delegates tried to
be comfortable in bandboxes for
which they had paid at the rate of
from $40 to $50 a day. No one can
tell me that Paddy Gleason isn't a
great man. It's these little things
that show it."-New York Mail and

a DEER ON THE TOLL BRIDGE

Not only in Ellsworth are moose and
deer growing SO bold. but all over Han.
cock county. K K. Thompson, keeper
fof the Mt Desert toll bridge thinks Of
spetitioning the game commission for
toll as the animals have begun using
dit as a thoroughfare. One morning
this week the man who was taking toll
heard the footballs of what he suppos-
ed was horse. trotting on the bridge.
HE heard no vehicle but supposed that
Athe vehicle must be fitted with rubber
tires and started from the house to
collect the toll. Great was his aston
dshment when he reached the gate to
meet, instead of a team the largest
buck deer that he had ever seen. That
buck didn't stop to have him open the
gate but bounded over and followed
the thoroughfare on Mt Desert Island,
evidently bound for Bar Harbor to
spend his vacation. Journal

PRIVACY IN A BIG CITY

Occasionally you getsa little peep in
to the almost absolute privacy and Writ
ual anonymity which it is possible to
enjoy in a big city. The coroners jury
in the case of James f. Mcdonald
found that he was killed "by man
known as SAM A newsboy testified
that everybody around Broadway
called the killer Sam. the Bum Graft
err" He was well known on certain
sidewalks and In the hotels and bar
rooms that were his clubs. Nobody
knew or cared what his name was
He was only straw in heap; only
one man in a monstrous crowd that is
willing to mind his own business and
Indifferent about names. The French
man whose body was found in a tree
near Coleville. N. J.. the other day was
known in the part of West Twenty
sixth street where he lived as French
Louis" the Fern Man." s.the Frog
Man" He kept his own counsel. For
purposes of their own convenience a
mans neighbors give him name.
French Louis caught frogs and gath
cred ferns for restaurants. His ma
tionality and occupation got him his
local names. The town is full of these
anonymous characters. working or
loafing under strange or picturesque
or no names The chief benefit of liy-
ing in a city is freedom to live as you
please, to avoid the scrutiny and in
,uisitiveness of the village. "A great

MITCHELL,s AMBITION.
The Labor Leader Revealed it to
Newspaper Man.

The Labor Leader hefedAeu ~ " =
Newspaper Man.
John Mitchell, the national president
of the United Mine Workers, who IS
now much in the public eye owing to
the differences between the anthracite
mine workers and the operators. once
had an ambition which was gratihed
within three hours and made him nap
py and care free, at the time OF the
strike of the fall of 1900. At that time
he made his. quarters at Hazelton, q
typical mining town, notorious Tor IT'S
poor hotels. He had been there Tor
two weeks when he shifted the head
quarters to Wiikesbarre for q While.
Constantly the target for the myriad
questions of a host Of newspaper mehs
surrounded all day and as late as he
remained up at night by eager ana en-
thusiastic labor leaders, with the pow
er to continue the strike which was
losing the miners $3,000,OO0 in wages
a month and the operators more than
that In profit, he was man with am
billions. One clever newspaper man
saw opportunity and a story.
ssNr MITCHELL" said he one night
when conditions had reached a crisis,
what is your highest ambition?"
1t was expected he would answer,
ssTo win the present strike" Instead
he drew his questioner into corner
You want an honest answer p
ssYes.'
s.I'n tell you. 1t has existed for a
couple Of weeks. It Is to eat a big,
thick, tender, and juicy steak"
ssYou see,' said Mitchell explaining,
81 have been obliged to live at these
ordinary hotels In Hazleton. I have
come here and must stop at the labor
hotel, and the meals at both places,
while good, are not ALWAYS appetizing.
When order steak. they bring me
something that is steak. no doubt, but
it is a hotel steak. thin dry, insipid,
and not the real article such as-well,
you know"
The newspaper man did know. Half
an hour later a conspiracy was being
Matched by the leading newspaper men.
The Herald, the World. the Journal
fthe Sun and the Tribune were repre-
ssented, and a couple of Philadelphia
writers were in It. At ten that night
Mitchell and Henry George were spir-
tfted away, and by devious paths led
Ito a quiet little room in an old Ger
man place. and there Mitchell achieved
his ambition, an old-fashioned beef
steak and onion dinner. with the steak
two inches thick.
Meanwhile the mine workers and
other newspaper men scurried about
Etown, the rumor spread that Mitchell
Swas meeting the operators in secret
session, and there was great excite
ment Few ever knew of the dinner
&but the great labor leader will never
forget when and how he put aside al
tcares, and with wholeihearted fellows
leaving the strike talk far behind
shared beefsteak and onions at Bau
mann's.-New York Tribune.

MILL NAMES.

In talking with mill owners 1t is
often remarked that they have pecul.
lar local names for mills ip which
they work. The travelling man may be
looking for the Standard Mills, the Riv-
erside, the Empire or some other con-
Germ found in the directory, but US
ually when he stops to inquire his way
he is told to go to the little MILL the
big shop" the upper mill, /" s'Har-
ris's," the stone MILL etc. Some in
teresting "reminiscences were told re-
Gently in connection with the jubilee
celebration at Blackburn, England.
When the cotton manufacturing in
dustry was started there those who es-
talished mills were diapers, tailors,
curriers' and other traders. A weave
shed now containing 1900 looms is
called 1.-THE Butter Tub and has been
so known for hundred years, because
those who established the industry
We're wholesale grocers, Another mill
was called "Latherox," because the
proprietor had been barber. Another
was started by liquor dealer, who is
said to have made his money by put
ting his thumb into the s'noggin''
measure when serving drinks, thereby
saving the gin, rum or Whiskey his
thumb displaced. His mill was called
ssPinchnoggins So Some Of the old time
names Of New England are SHANK
bone" Devils Dishful," Tin Horn, =
etc,-Fibre and Fabric.

roly-poly fashion of doing up the

lady, whose eyes were not mates.
