THE MEDBhER.
"If the coat fits put IL on"

According to those who believe in
the grounding" theory connected
with Candlemas day winter is nearly
over. This will be welcome news to
the people whose coal bins have been
practically empty for the past three
months. The grounding is supposed
to come out of his hole on the second
day of February. If, upon casting his
eye about, he happens to see his shad-
ow he Immediately re-enters his hole
and hibernates for six weeks more. II
he sees no shadow he remains in his
front yard for little while and makes
arrangement for the opening of spring
which he is confident is near 1t so
happened that on Monday neither the
grounding or anyone else saw any sign
of a shadows there was no sunlight to
make one. Still it's a good idea to
wear your winter overcoat little while
longer.

In Bellows Falls sl1, 242 has heen
raised by subscription toward hospi-
tai and it has been decided to begin
operations as soon as the Sl5, 900 mark
is reached. The Meddler is willing to
make small wager that Bellows Falls
will have hospital before this town
does in spite of the fact that Brattle-
boro's money is already raised and has
been ready for use two years. The
latest wrinkle of the trustees is a
change in architects after one set of
plans and specifications has been com
pleted and submitted to various au
thorities. If this'keeps up the latest
on the part of the public will
be a petition for change of trustees.

the final score stood 165. The game
was unusually free from fouls and con
tanned a lot of good team work which

boys were as good as their opponents

their weakness in finding the baskets.

New York Fashion Notes

season, is evident here in dark grey
silk. The sleeves are plated to the ell
bow and the front of the waist Is plait-
I &c on a narrow yoke which extends
over the sleeves like epauliets, lending
breadth to the shoulders.
The Monte Carlo coat Is so graceful,
despite the liberllous imitation to
which 1t is subjected that its admirers
predict for it perpetual favor Certainly
smart is a model executed in satin
faced broadcloth in oyster grey, ap-
pliqued in ribbon design in wide silk
braid of darker shade of gray.
The cuffs are of dark grey velvet and
the coat is faced with white silk, while
the collar is of the gray velvet edged
with white braid and appliqued with
white lace.
! Worn with this coat is very stun
/ ming hat, combining the various shades
o. gray softened by bit Of the lace.
| Shirt waists made of vesting are
much admired, and though expensive If
purchased Teady-made, can be gotten
up at home for reasonable sum. The
vesting varies in price from forty-fve
to seventy-five cents a yard and lends
Itself charmingly to the plaits and
tucks, fancy stocks and big buttons be-
loved of the fashionable women.
In striking contrast to the substan-
tial vesting effects are crepe de chine
bodices made with a mass OF lingerie
tucks and yokes of open work hem
stitching and elbow sleeves of the
same. The fashionable tendency runs
more and more toward elaborate hand
work and this is a detail Of dress
which will mark the woman Of fashion
during the coming season.
Much attention is paid to children's
garments at this season. The display
windows are filled with the daintiest
little frocks of white serge, cream fan
mel and white pique. Blouse and sailor
effects are the ones most observed
among children's fashions, showing
that simplicity and neatness have re-
turned to take the place occupied for
the past few seasons by an elaboration
that was both extrayagant and uncom-
Portable.
Children's wraps, which are really
being sold at bargains show some novel
designs. One especially pretty coat of
tan melton has broad collar of quaint
shape and turn-back cuffs which are
made of brown velvet edged with
stitched bands of the melton.
Blue and a certain soft shade of
green which might be either sage or
olive. were there not so much white in
it, are pretty colors for little maids
dresses. Stirring and soft yellow lace,
with probably touch of ribbon velvet
give the necessary childish effect and at
the same time constitute an artistic
trimming.
Children's hats this year are tied
with streamers under the chin or at the
left side. This is a fashion borrowed
from their elders. But instead OF the
string Of ribbon or lace, streamers this
season are entirely of chiffon. Many are
finished with a fair-like bow Of tulle.

A NEW KLONDIKE,

There is a rich placer gold field in
New Mexico that is known to be ten
miles square and the gravel is 10 TO
1000 feet thick, in which there is
enough gold to pay the national debt.
This deposit of gravel has been form
ed by the action of water, eroding the
tops Of the many rich quartz veins on
the Ortiz mountains, on which is locat-
ed the Santa Fe Gold and Copper Co.'S
mines, that have paid over $l7,000,000
to the owners.
The famous Lincoln Lucky mine Is
also on this mountain and it has paid
over 100000 in one year to its
stockholders.
Adjoining Lincoln Lucky, on the
same vein is located the c. & G. Con-
solidated, with a rich body of ore that
will net from $40 to $3.50 per ton. With.
in the next year this mine should be
the largest producer and most profit.
able of any in the camp.
A small amount Of money invested
in 1t now will make you wealthy In a
short time.
For the next 30 days you can buy
some Of its treasury stock at &c per
share, fully paid and worcestershire;
It is being sold to equip the mine with
heavier machinery than that now in
use.
Don't fail to get some Of this stock
at this price. We want a few agents
in different localities to sell this stock
for the next 80 days. Cut this out and
write for terms and prospectus to

Poor Mans Chance.

It Is being said in many Eastern
journals and not few Western ones
that the day Of the poor man in min
ing is gone by; that no one but a big
corporation can succeed in mining any
more that it takes big capital to do
anything; that most of the good min
ing propositions are controlled by
trusts or millionaires and that there
is no longer opportunity for a man
with a little money. This is all a mis-
take. The day of the poor" mining
man was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most OF the good
mines are owned by trusts or million
aires is heard most often, but there Is
least in that of any Of the pessimistic
utterances. One hears Of the big mil
lionaire owners more than ne does OF
the thousands of substantial COM
panies that go right on with little
notoriety, paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally, it may be justly said in an
swer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with a
little money, that never in the worlds
history we're there fiuer opportunities
in mining for the man with a little
money than in the west half of Amer.
lea today. Are you interested?

you nothing and will aid you in max.

STATE NOT NAMED FOR PENN,
Mistaken Idea as to the Calling of
Pennsylvania.

Many people are under the impress.
sion that Pennsylvania owes it's name
to William PENIS vanity. In point of
fact 1t is not named after him but
after Admiral Penn, his father, and
the son only accepted the name under
protest. This fact is proved by this
paragraph in letter written by Will
liam Penn under date of January 5.

watchings, solicitings and disputes in
council, my country was confirmed to
me under the great seal of England.

much opposed to it and went to the
