There isan item goingthe rounds
of the State press that the Austin
mines have produced $24, 900.
This is an error. Wells, Fargo d
Co.'s old books show that up to
1888 the old Manhattan Company
shipped out bullion from the Aus
tin mines valued at $38, 100000,
and since 1888 the output of bull
lion has been over 100000,
which places the total amount pro-
duced at over $44, 100000 These
figures, while large, are absolutely
correct, and before many months
go by Austin will again be added
to the list of towns producing bull
lion.

The Babies.

At a banquet given something
like thirty years ago to General
Grant, the toast given Mark Twain
to respond to was, "The Babies"
In the course of his speech Twain
said:
Fifty years hence we shall be
dead, | trust, and then the flag, il
it still survives-let us hope it
may-will be floating over a re-
public of 2O0,OO0,O0O souls, ac-
cording to the settled laws of our
increase; our present schooner of
state will have grown into a polite
al leviathan-a Great Eastern
and the graded babies of todey
will be on deck. Let them be
we'll trained, for we are going to
leave a big contract on their
hands,
The speech was filled with hum
or, but there was here and there a
suggestive fash like the closing
words of the above. More than
half the time is past, but the
facts, the important facts, in the
above are more than half verified.
The man who was the honored
guest on that occasion has for
Tor than twenty years been
asleep in his new home on the
heights above the Hudson, and of
the others present, more than half
have passed on. The speaker who
kept hat table in a roar is bending
under his years, and has reached
the age when the sudden notice of
his death will not, when it comes,
bring surprise. And the schooner
of state" has indeed become a
leviathan. and the flag not only
survives, but has taken on new
splendor and new majesty since
then.-Goodwin's Weekly.

Shot Himself After a Quarrel.

Timson Manor of Cambridge committed
suicide Dec. 10 by placing a shotgun in
such a position that the contents were
discharged into his throat. Just before
Manor performed the desperate act an
alteration occurred between himself and
his son-in-law. Arthur Shanreau. because
the latter whipped his little son. Manor,
man Of 70, lnterposed and declared that
the same roof could not shelter him and
his son-in-law, and that he would go to
Fairfax. where he had other relatives.
He went to his room on the upper floor
and took from a peg on the wall a shot
gun loaded with blrdshot. After attach
ing one end OF string TO the trigger, he
fastened the other end to his foot, stretch
ed himself on the floor, placed the rsuzzle
of the firearm under his chin and kicked
the string.
The entire charge penetrated his throat
and entering the base Of his brain killed
him instantly. His throat and head were
terribly mangled.

Another attempt was made on the bank
about three weeks ago. The wife Of the

the men at work in the bank across the
street and gave the alarm. Many cit

an emergency, threw open their windows
and began a fusilade with shotguns, rifles
and revolvers that lasted several minutes
but so far as is known none Of the rob-

The Church and the state Trouble In
France.


Plus X is a sincere and fervent Chris
tan, but II is unfortunate that to his
deeply religious nature he does not bring
some of his predecessors statecraft.
He rejected the French governments
final offer OF a means by which Roman
Catholic worship might be continued
under the common law. Under the new
law, passed last year. Roman Catholics,
Protestants, Jews and other religionists
are compelled to register themselves as
associations cultulles, or associations for
worship. All but the Roman Catholics
have compiled with the government pro-
visions, which in many respects are Ike
those obtaining in this country In trustee
ship for the various churches. Because
of canonical objections the Pope declined
to permit the French Roman Catholics TO
register under the new law. The govern
ment thereupon pointed out that these
could not be invoked against an earlier
law recurring government sanction 10 as
sociations; and offered to accept simple
declaration in accordance with that law.
So reasonable had the situation now be-
come that such progressive prelates as
Cardinal Lecot and Archbishop German
had advised compliance, so IL was re-
ported. The solution of the problem has
been made impossible by the Pope's pro-
nouncement prohibiting declarations under
the earlier law and directing parish
priests to remain in the churches until
driven out by violence. The publication
of this pronouncement created sensa-
ton in government and Catholic circles
and the prelates in question hastily IN
structed the parish priests in their do
ceses that their advice previously given
was void. NJ. BRAND. minister OF pupnc

Editor or The PhRnlN,
Dear Sir:-In regard to the distorted
account OF the prosecution of Ralph and
Robert Parsons for unlawfully killing a
deer, 1t is only fair to Game Warden VIII
kins to say that the original complaint
came to him from Stratton parties. that
he Immediately asked for instructions
from State Commissioner Thomas and
was ordered by him to prosecute. Mr..
Wilkins then notified H. D. Ryder. states
attorney, who issued a complaint and
warrant, sent the same to A. F. Schwenk,
who handed 1t to Mr.. Wilkins. When Mr..
Wilkins received the complaint and war
rant both we're fully filled out and COM
pleted and he transmitted the same to
Sheriff Willis Of Jamaica for service. The
Jamaica correspondent of The Phoenix let
his admiration for his fellow townsman.
Mr. Piper, run away with his judgment
and he exploded in last weeks paper at
half cock. If he would take little pains
to investigate, his statement would be
much more reliable.

The second half opened brlskiy and
after about one minute of play Manseau
scored. Davey missed a seemingly sure
chance at the BASKET with no one to him
der him and all the time wanted in
which to shoot. McGuiggan scored again
for the visitors and directly afterward
Riley Gagged the ball after one of the
prettiest bits Of team work the home team
did throughout the game. Newport was
given one point on the third foul by Brat
tleboro, making the score 21 TO IA
Davey did Il few seconds Of his regu-
lation basket ball work and scored his
second basket In the game. Time was
called again while a Newport player re-
cuperated and when the referees whistle
blew again there was only eight minutes
left to play. They were busy minutes
The play was thick about the Newport
basket and the floor at the Brattleboro
end was wholly deserted The ball
emerged from the general mlxup and was
thrown clear across the hall into the open
space beneath the Bratteboro basket
Boutwell, contributed the most spectac-
ular play Of the game by running almost
the length of the floor and tossing the ball
into the basket as easily as he would
shake hands. Gion scored for the Wis
itors directly afterward, bringing the score
to 20 to Is in Viewpoints favor. The re-
naming few minutes of the half were
spent by Newport in killing time and pre-
venting the home team from getting
