WORE THAN MOLLIE MA
GIJIRES.

Cripple, Col, June 10-Clarence
G. Hamlin, secretary of the Cripple
Creek District Mine Owners; Associa-
tlon, gave out a statement TO-DAY in
reply to telegram from New York
newspaper, asking him to present. his
side If the labor troubles here. Mr..
Hemlin says the strike was not for an
eiebt-hour day, which already pre-
vails, the miners getting from s. to 81
da,, but 'to compel every miner in
this district to join the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, or leave the coun-
try. Tbs organization has record
of Iawlessness, murder, arson and
dynamiting in Couer D'Alene, Butte,
Leadville. Idaho Springs. Telluride,
Cripple Greek and elsewhere, extend
ing over q period of ten or fifteen
years. which should appall humanity.
These outrages eliminated here Mon
day, when fifteen men we're blown into
eternity and nearly as many more
MANNED so that death would be a
mercy. The only parallel to this
organization can be found in the Mol.
lie Maguires Of Pennsylvania, and.
their members we're law abiding citi"

which we have to deal with. The
peace and quiet of the State demand
that this organization be exterminatei

for the above outrages is so we'll fixed
that no person can belong to the Fec

Our Cemetery.

A visit to our cemetery will reveal
a very marked improvement, since
the administration of Mr.. Freeman
as superintendent. The drives have
been carefully tended, and evidences
on all sides of care in all matters ap-
pertaining to those attentions which
should be. bestowed on this sacred
spot by the association are clearly
evident. There is nothing which
marks with more unerring accuracy
the character of community than
the manner in which their Goods
acre. is cared for. and it is very evi-
dent the lot holders of our cemetery
too are trying to claim the privilege
of tenderly not only keeping up but
identifying those hallowed squares
where rest their dead. This is most
gratifying, and we feel the earnest
effort on the part of the association to
do their duty should stimulate even
greater effort in this direction. The
flowers which are laid upon the newly
made mound soon fade and wither !;
but where shrubbery and flowers are
planted, each returning spring the
hand of nature places them afresh
upon the grave. Nothing shows a
more constant thought Of those who
sleep that dreamless sleep beneath
those hower-clad mounds than the
shrubbery neatly trimmed. Here
there is no law as to fence or no fence.
1t is alone the unwritten prompting
of the heart and affection which
suggests the ever green enclosure.
There has been for some time small
assessment levied by the association
to assist them in carrying out their
work of permanent improvement; and
also, if necessary, to be appropriated
in purchasing additional ground when
needed. The necessity of such fund
is very obvious, and the obligation
should be cheerfully met by all.

The French National Society of Ag-
:riculture has recently had it's attention
called to a new potato which. some
French journals say will supplant the
Irish potato. The technical name OF
the new vegetable is solanum imper-
soni, but it is now beginning to be
called the Uruguay Irish potato, as it
comes from the banks of the Mercedes
River, in Uruguay. The yield is said
to be enormous and it appears to be
immune from any disease. This potato
is cultivated like the common potato.

Drawn From the Woods.

A sylvan GOODNESS blows from The
Wooden Works of Thomas Anony-
mous,'' printed in Baltimore and
bound, or said to be, at the Backwoods
Bindery, Sumter, S. G. In these
periodical sprees of the mercury,
poetry from the wood is refreshing.
The mystifying Thomas has returned
20 the wooden age of books. He
prints on wood. He binds in wood,
genuine boards. His wooden slabs
and their exterior wooden walls are
held together by tin rings, connected
by an ornamental brass chain. He
might have added couple of wooden
clasps, but what's the use Of finding
fault with a genius and an original?
"Thomas'' is thoroughly enjoying
himself; and, if merit is appreciated,
his poems will be hanging by the
chain from a peg or hook in hundreds
of happy homes.
He admits facetiously that he " took
to the woods when his brain was big
with poetry. Wooden as the book
looks, he thinks g it will be necessary
to peruse the contents fully in order
for any one to appreciate fully how
thoroughly wooden it is. - Mock
modesty; the book is fine gold. What
10y are these god-like lines to Us who
have long insisted that the art OF
poetry is merely carving OF prose
into assorted lengths and hunks:
The undulatory theory which assumes
that ether is
An elastic aud sensibly imponderable
fluid pervading :.
All space, the motions of those partl-
cles in the form
Of waves transmit light and heat. is
untenable for several reasons.
If there anything wooden in that it
is the rustic of immemorial eims.
Sleep drips from every line. You hear
the murmur of straws in oceans of
sherry cobblers. This is a man to set
Ganot's "Physics'' to music and COM
pei the "Principia" to "ragtime. -,
Now for more jovial vein:
Miss Luna spends the change she
makes for trips around the world she
takes:- she must through all her quar-
ters run, yet silver change can count
upon; in silver Luna rolls and she
suggests the silver coinage free: for
minds the moon can change and churn
with moon and men the tide will
turn. On esrth's affairs and human
sense the moon exerts an infiuence.
She sets-her duty tbs to batch those
theories that moonlight match. The
setting moon like setting hen is mad,
and mad she makes the men.
This poet is nobly wild. not mad.
Behold glorious rhyme, of unimagin-
able beauty:
And I dreamed was greens and that
coons grazed me o'er.
And of wild men with limited litera-
ture.
In this woodhouse there is unlimit-
ed literature, infinite riches in little
room. The works of Thomas Anony-
mous'' are illustrated geographically
in the grand manner. Who is this
True Thomas the Rhymer? Our old
Gopher friend, Jadam Bede, used to
put his poetical legs into birch bark
sspants.'' Has he now enshrined his
feet in wood?-The New York Sun.
