 CArYyle, Emerson and Satan.
 Carlyle and Emerson once had a pas sage of arms on the subject of the ex- lstence of the devil. Carlyle believed in the devil He had robustcand de- liant faith In such parsonage, and we know that when Carlyle had belief in anything it was so even if it wasn't so. The great American writer did not believe. They argued the thing for some time. 'Well, come and see him for yourself" said Carlyle, and the poor poet, wondering whether the oth- CT had the devil chained up anywhere, put on his hat and went out into the London night. Carlyle took him round to various gin shops in Seven Dtals, to certain de1s of fnfamy and low class music halls. "Do you believe in the Sevu now 7'' said Carlyle. Apparently Emerson did not. They finished up by going to the Distinguished Stran- rers gallery of the house of commons. It was wild night of impassioned speeches, saving of arms and thump- ing of fists. Emerson had never seen anything like it and said SO. and Car lyle nudged his elbow into Eperson's ribs and whispered gravely. "Ds you believe in . devil now? ,.

Diplom.t1e Gun Play.

The Coffeyville Kan) Journal tells a story of the quick wit of a western gun artist: Bob Chestnut had an alterca- ton with an Irishman in a western cattle camp many years ego. The Irishman was a bully and bad man. While Chestnut always wore a brace of six shooters in his belt, he also car ried a sudden emergency Derringer in his outxide coat pocket. The Irish man had an eleven inch Colt already in his hand Bob thrust his hand in his pocket for his Derringer. but the weap- on had slipped down in hole in the lining His hand coming in contact with his pipe, he quickly drew it out and placed it in his mouth The Irish man lowered his gun, which he had elevated when Bob thrust his hand in to his pocket Bob reached for his pocket again, presumably for his to- bacco. Fumbling around, he secured the Derringer. brought it into play Nike flash of lightning, and they carried the Irishman away.

 He opened box of beautiful, costly cigars, and the odor diffused through the shop was indescribably pleasant. an odor half of tobacco. half, as 1t seemed, of spices.
 -Tnat spicy smelEdo you notice ft?'' said the dealer. "Well, that is the smell of the Spanish cedar. It communicates itself to the cigars, and so delicate and subtle is it that it actually improves their flavor.
 eff we put up our goods in chestnut or walnut or pine boxes the flavor of the wood, impregnating the tobacco, would ruin the cigars entirely; hence moderately good cigars are put in a box that is quite odorless, and the best cigars are put up in this aromatic and costly box."1Phiiadelphia Bulletin.

RedoIfo Goana, Known as Hero of
Ring, Is Locked Up for Creating
Sensation in Mexico City

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 8.-Redolfo Co
ana, the famous Mexican bull fighter,
known as the "idol of the bull ring" is
under arrest on serious charges in con-
nection with the suicide of Maria Lu-
isa Noecker, 10 years old, and member
of a well to do family.
The girl is said to have been of
romantic disposition and to have look
ed upon Goana as a great hero. She
slipped away from home and went to
a ball, returning next morning. Soon
after reaching there she committed
suicide by shooting herself. Police in
vestigation, 1t is alleged, adduced evil
dence to the effect that she had been
in company with Goana. The case has
created a tremendous sensation in
Mexico city. Specials received from
Aguas Calientes say that Americans
and Germans there have sent a petit
ton to President Diaz asking him to
take a personal interest in the Goana
case.
The girl who committed suicide was
of German parentagc Both Redolfd

BONNIECLAR TO
BUILD ROAD INTO
GOLD MOUNTAIN
BOARD CONSIDERS BRANCH TO
MINES
GENERAL MANAGER 1RUMBO
MAKING ESTIMATES
Company Will Probably Be Formed
to Build and Operate Branch from
Bonnie Clare Station - Will
Benefit Entire District

The officials Of the New Bonnie
Glare Mining company are compiling
estimates of the cost of narrow guage
railroad from Bonnie Clare station, on
the Tonopah &, TideWater and Las We
gas & Tonopah railroads in Nevada, TO
their Rattlesnake and Courbett MINES
and will probably organize company
to build and operate the road, which
will connect their own mines and the
entire Gold mountain district adjacent
thereto with the railroads mentioned
and their reduction works at Bonnie
Clare station. Andrew j. Trumbo,
general manager of the company, Is
engaged in making the estimates, and
the money is already subscribed by
members Of the official family. 1t Is
said that the directors of the company
if the scheme is undertaken, will give
every stockholder in the mining COM
pany an opportunity to take stock IN
the railway company.
The branch line has been under con-
sidcTation for several months, ana the
Tonopah & Tidewater railroad had an
examination made by its mining engi-
neer. who reported favOrably on the
proposed branch. The matter has
been held over because Of the accident
to John Ryan. general manager for
L
meantime Mr. Trumbo. realizing the
immense advantage of the road urged
the directors of the New Bonnie Glare
TO build it. The company has an op-
portunity to purchase from BoraX
Smith two Shea engines and five ore
cars formerly in use on the Death Val
ley branch, which since has been con-
verted into a standard gauge road, on
good terms.
The line. as proposed by Mr. Trumbo,
will be about eight miles in length,
and the construction will be ineXpen-
sive, as there will be no heavy grad
ing to be done. The New Bonnie Glare
Mining company is installing a mod
ern mill at Bonnie Glare station to
replace the incomplete plant formerly
in use. BY adding Chilean mills 10 the
equipment the capacity of this plant
can easily be brought up to 200 tons
daily. The company, in addition to the
ores from its own mines, VIII treat
custom ores, and it is the intention
eventually TO increase the capacity of
the plant to 800 tons.
The branch line will be Of inestima-
bic benefit to the Gold mountain dis
trict. giving the mines of that region
an outlet for their ores and direct COM
munication by rail with the smelters
at Salt Lake, the plant at Needles and,
eventually, with Ely Nevada, to which
camp the Tonopah q Tidewater has
undertaken the construction of a road
from Goldfeld. to be known as the
Ely-Goldfeld railroad. 1t is said to be
the intention of the Cole-Ryan syndi-
cate to build a large custom smeter
at Ely. which will take care Of the
silicious ores Of Goldheld and other
camps and the silver-lead ores Of Tybo.
Reveille and camps along the line of
the ly-Goldfield road.
