Mine! claims the ostenatious husband As he jealously guards his bride: Each posture bespeaking possession Mistakenly held at her side. Her two faces of more Her pure face and langor of movement Uroclaiming her goals sacrifice, Which maidenhood pays at the alter, Ah love! and ignorance is the price. Mine! croaks that grim savant destroyer. Whose coffers ne'er remunerate toil. His tallions reaping wreck to mortals. mother, As she o'er her babe softly bends; Worshipful prayer swelling upward; Mother love libraring ascends. All Thine," yes, and thine Eden's Savior. The grail I shall transcribed to thee; Ignorance is flowered in wisdom Whose travail paid the debt to "Me." I am thine, Omnipresent ever.

DEATH CLAIMS A CHERISHED FLOWER. On New Year's morning, just a few moments after the bells had ceased extolling the advent of the New Year surrounded by the family, (all that were in Butte). Mrs. Charles Foster Clark passed peacefully into immortality. Contrary to the wishes of those who so ardently prayed and hoped against hope that the patient would recover, A favorite in Butte's social circles, a young wife and recently the mother of her first born, was one whose graces of person and of character were many and whose daily life brought often into manifestation the most admired traits of sterling womanhood. A large local public found itself deeply interested in the tidings that came respecting Mrs. Clark's condition, during the days when she was known to be making an intrepid fight for life. The messages of cheer that sometimes came serve to make all the more distressing the unwelcome announcement of her death. It is an affiliation in which the large company of those who esteemed and admired Mrs. Clark will share. The New Age, as the voice of the entire colored population, extends its sympathy to the surviving family and friends. Mr. Chris, Dorsey Has Reached His Destination. This office is in receipt of a letter from our recent departed townman, bearing date of December 27, stating that he arrived after a great ocean voyage, he also stated that in the wildest flights of his imagination he could not conceive a place so beautiful as that of Hônolulu. He is well and wishes to be remembered to his friends. PROF. WASHINGTON'S STAR. Among the news dispatches of Saturday was one to the effect that Booker T. Washington, the colored scholar and leader of his race, had delivered an address at one of the California towns, and that the banks and most of the business houses had closed for the occasion. Thirty or twenty, or even ten years ago who would have predicted that within two generations of the close of the war such an honor would be shown one of Booker Washington's race as that a community would take a "day off" to hear him speak. This is an even higher compliment to Booker Washington than to have dined with President Roosevelt. The latter event was the whim of one man. The California incident was the spontaneous tribute of an entire community.—Standard. A woman should not think every time she finds a stray hair on her husband's head that he got it off the head of some other woman. He may have gotten it off the head of the bed. Two Irishmen got into a difficulty and agreed to settle their trouble by a fight, promising that when one should say enough they should quit. After one had knocked the other down and pounded him severely the weaker of the two began calling out: "Enough! Enough!" The other paid no attention, but kept hammering away. A bystander called out: "Why don't you let him up? Don't you hear him say that he has got enough?" "I do," replied the best man, "but he is such a liar I never know when to believe him." Salt Lake Department Mrs. Susan Gladden went to Denver last week. Mr. William Forsha spent last Monday in Boise, Idaho. Miss Alice Walker is very sick. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. W. D.

She was the guest of Mrs. P. H. Robinson. She left Tuesday for Los Angeles, California. Mrs. M. W. Hodges left on the 27th for Sacramento, Cal. Mrs. Hodges came here from Leadville, Colo., about four months ago. She made many friends among the ladies of the city during her stay, who were sorry to see her leave. Rev, J. W. Washington and son, Dewey, returned Christmas eve, after a two weeks' visit to points in Missouri and Illinois. Miss Marie Howell entertained at dinner Christmas day Rev, and Mrs. McIntyre, Professor Milton, G. W. Lewis, Mr. Terrill, Miss Anna Howell.

Robinson, of Colorado Springs, Colo., the grand master of the F. A. A. M. for Colorado and jurisdiction, was in the city on Tuesday, the 23rd. He was making his annual visit to the lodges. The little Misses Ethel and Clara McAfee gave a delightful social to their many junior friends at their residence, 53 Franklin, hours 8 to 10 p. m. Many were in attendance and enjoyed the hospitality of the little hostesses. The Christmas tree at the Trinity church, the eve of the 24th of December, was laden with presents, which gladdened the hearts of the little ones, and the children rendered a nice programme for the occasion. We are proud to mention one of Salt Lake's energetic young ladies, viz. Miss Marie Howell, who shows much skill and marked talent in hand painting. It would make any one proud of the race. Who chanced to see the beautiful vase that was on exhibition at Druehl & Franklin's drug store last week. Her work ranks with the best in this city and is a pupil that any teacher should feel proud of visit to her home, will convince anyone of her ability as an artist. ANACONDA LADIES OF A. A, C. B. LEAGUE ENTERTAIN. One of the nicest and best attended social affairs that has been the pleasure of our society to attend was the meeting of the Epworth league Christmas week. A nicely arranged dinner was prepared and an allround lively time was in evidence. Speaking and general conversation was the feature of entertainment. An able address was made by Mr. H. Johnson, the honored guest, of Butte, and a general routine of business was gone through with. The committee on arrangement consisted of Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Roy, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Pope and Mrs. Norman. The meeting was held at 113 East Commercial avenue. Born To Mr. and Mrs. Webb. The home of Mr. and Mrs. A, S. Webb was visited by a new comer last Friday. Scarcely had the little infant opened its eyes until they were closed—never again to look upon the light of day. It was laid to rest last Saturday afternoon in Mount Moriah cemetery. The mother is resting as well as could be expected under the circumstances. While sorrow and affliction is holding its sway, our sympathy goes out to them during the gloom of sadness which is shadowing their household. Frank Mitchell, a negro born in slavery 108 years ago, is still living at Akron, Ohio, and has a vivid recollection of events that occurred in the first part of the last century. He has smoked and chewed tobacco for over 100 years. Wear Clothes That Fit A man can save money and feel more comfortable by wearing clothes that fit.

THE AGME GLUB 12 West Galena St. L. A. BELL - - Pres. and Treas C. M. WATTS - - Sec'y and Mgr BEST YEAR OF PROSPERITY TRADE OF THE NATION IN 1902 THE LARGEST YET. Every Branch of Ordinary Trade and Manufacture Shows an Increase Above Previous Years—Railroads Couldn't Handle the Business— Wages Were Generally Increased and Hours Shortened. New York.—Bradstreet's review of the business year, to be issued Saturday next, will have the following: To say that 1902 was the best year this country has ever experienced, while entirely truthful enough in the main, does not suggest fully the enormous strides which the United States took in the year just closed. Practically every branch of ordinary trade and manufacture shows a nincrease above the best previous years, and yet its immense enlargement of output was not sufficient of itself to satisfy the growing—it might be termed insatiable—demand for all kinds of materials. In many cases the usual foreign outlet for our products was, perforce, neglected by American producers, who conned their enorts to supplying insistent domestic demand, while in others foreign production was canned upon to reinforce domestic output, with the result that new currents and channels were created in our foreign trade. Our export trade, therefore expanded to unprecedented figures. The railroads of the country, in their efforts to handle the business offered them, suffered as never before from congestion and complaint of interruption with production and distribution of the products of the farm, the mine, the shop and the loom was practically universal. industrial unrest was naturally marked, as it always is either in times of prosperity or of depression, and serious disorganization of some of the countries basic industries resuited for a time. In many cases resort to extremes was rendered unnecessary by liberal recognition by employers or changes in the standard of living, and it is safe to say that two men obtained higher wages or had their working hours reduced without resort to strikes for every one who actually quit work. Speculation, it is true, felt the checks imposed upon it by conservatism, by short crops in the preceding year, and last, but not least, by high rates for money; but despite the fact that stock market operations were only about one half of 1901 bank clearings, those usually reliable guides of business showed aggregates practically equal to the hitherto unheard of totals of 1901. All this was-accomplished with a minimum of friction, as reflected in the form of business embarrassments. LATE NEWS ITEMS Dr. D. K. Pearson's, whose gifts to colleges have amounted to several million dollars, recently gave $50,000 to the Illinois college of Jacksonville. About a year and a half ago Dr. Pearson's announced that he would give the $50,000 if the college authorities could secure $150,000 from other sources before January, 1, 1903. The last dollars of this amount has been pledged to President Barnes of Illinois college. One of the most important deals in the history of railroad corporations was made known recently. Early in the year J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. will announce the consolidation of the Erie, Lehigh Valley and the Reading railways. The merger will be planned after the manner of the Northern Securities company, the stocks of the companies to be pooled and held as a basis or the issuance of a large amount of common shares, which will take as their name the title to be given the consolidated companies. The board of trustees of Hamline university in Minnesota announce that an endowment of $250,000 for the university has been raised, principally in money. James Hill and M. G. and J. L. Norton of Winona gave large sums. The endowment insures the permanency of Hamline along lines which the trustees have laid out. The navy department will adopt heroic measures to protect the enlisted men at the Puget Sound navy yard, near Seattle, Wash., from the evil influences which exist at Bremerton. An official report from Rear Admiral Stirling, in command of the yards, details a deplorable state of affairs in Bremerton and Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling has issued an order which will have the effect of keeping naval vessels away from that station in the future until the nuisance is abated. At the conclusion of the church service over the late Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont at Los Angeles, a disgraceful scene was created by the attempt of a number of women to obtain relics of the funeral services. A violent effort was made by these women to reach the beautiful floral pieces presented by the friends of Mrs. Fremont. Barquisimeto, capital of the state of Laral, which for some time has been in the possession of the Venezuelan revolutionists, has been recaptured by government forces. The towns of San Carlos and Tinaquillo have also been reoccupied by the government. The government forces were commanded by General Serno Castillo. Al Nell of San Francisco won from Tommy Reilly of Seattle recently on a foul in the eleventh round. Reilly put in a straight left in Nell's groin. Miss Mary Barber, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Barber, and favorite niece of the late President McKinley, recently became the wife of Major Ralph Hartzell. WASHINGTON ITEMS. An athletic club has been organized at Sprague with a membership of 46. Henry W. Brooke of Seattle, who was one of the pioneer business men of Spokane is dead. The bank clearings of Spokane, as shown by Bradstreets, for the year 1902 will exceed by over 50 per cent those of 1901. Allen Smith, the younger of the firm of Smith brothers at Republic, committed suicide recently with a 38 calabre bulldog pistol. During the year 1902 over $300,000 was spent in North Yakima in new buildings. Of this big sum the greater part was used for residences. The Creston football team defeated the Davenport high school eleven at Davenport recently for the championship of Lincoln county by a score of 6 to 5. The large frame residence at Coifax, owned by J. P. Stine, a farmer, and occupied by L. L. Meyers and family was totally destroyed with all contents recently. The report of Secretary of State Nicholls, recently filed, gives the receipts of his office for the period at $108,637.85 and the fees collected by the insurance department at $122,848.46 in addition. The fruit packing plant of Kelly-Clarke company has closed down at Vancouver, after the season's run of 60 days, during which 70 carloads of dried prunes were prepared for the market. The report of Adjutant General Drain for 1901 and 1902 has been filed with Governor McBride. It covers about 30 printed pages and contains matter of importance to the public as well as the National Guard. The committee in charge of the Pacific Coast Congregational congress, which will be held in Seattle from May 8 to May 17, inclusive, announces that G. Campbell Morgan, the noted divine and evangelistic orator, has accepted a request to be present at the conference. A panic was narrowly averted at the Catholic church on Christmas day at Uniontown through the courageous efforts of Father Faust and the coolness displayed on the part of the celebrant, Father Goller, S. J., of Spokane. The trimmings around the chancel caught fire. The Spokane Lumber company has closed a deal whereby it acquived 16,000 acres of timber lands along the line of the Great Northern railroad between Milan, Wash., and the Pend d'Orellie river. The tract was secured from the Northern Pacific railroad and the amount involved was about $100,000. This company had large holdings before in the locality and now owns about 30,000 acres near Milan. Ed Condin, the halfbreed, was not killed while resisting arrest for implication in the murder of Judge Lewis and wife, as was first supposed. He was fatally stabbed by an Indian at Keller during a quarrel which is said to have had nothing to do with the Keller tragedy. It is reported Condin and the Indian had been together drinking and became involved in a row over some minor matter. A fight followed and Condin was stabbed. Foolish Women. Portland, Ore.—Complaint has been filed in the district attorney's office charging A. B. Amandus, a clairvoyant, with the larceny of $1028 from a Mrs. Moore and another woman living at Mona Villa, a suburb. The women had visited Amanudus several times at his office, and he had gained their confidence. He asked the women to bring him $1500, telling them he would charm the currency and that it would be transferred into a box of gold of fabulous value. The women finally raised $1028 in currency, which they gave to the clairvoyant. He placed it in an envelope, sealed it and handed an envelope back to them. He told them to bury the money and not to dig it up until December 23. They hurried away to their home and buried the envelope, according to instructions. On December 23 they dug up the treasure, expecting to find a huge box of gold. Their disappointment was keen when they found nothing but the envelope which had been buried. With trembling hands they opened the envelope and found a bunch of newspaper clippings in place of their $1028. Complaint was made to the district attorney and detectives were sent to arrest the clairvoyant, but no trace of him can be found. Dewey Is at Ponce, P. R. Ponce, P. R.—Admiral Dewey has arrived here overland from San Juan and received an ovation. He was warmly greeted by a committee of native officials and citizens and was escorted by them from Juana Diaz to Ponce. The city was decorated in honor of the admiral's arrival, which was followed by a procession with bands of music through the streets. Later the admiral boarded the United States ship Mayflower, which was waiting for him, and sailed for Culebra. Bold Diamond Robbery New York.—In full view of passing crowds, the window in the pawnbishop of R. Simpson & Co., in West Forty-second street, was smashed with a Belgian paving block and $1000 worth of diamonds were stolen. Shot By Italian. Sprague, Wash.-Fred Brown, a young man, proprietor of a restaurant in this place, was fatally shot while quarrelling with an Italian by the name of Peter Sirinnl. Hope deferred gives the letter carrier importance. GIVES UP OFFICE OF LAND COM MISSIONER FEB. FIRST. He Was Lax in His Methods—Charges Against Two of His Subordinate Off ficials—His Successor Will Be W. A Richards, His First Assistant— Hitchcock and Hermann at Outs. Washington.—Binger Hermann commissioner of the general land of office, has resigned and will be succee ed by William A. Richards, now the assistant commissioner of the general land office. The change will take effec fect February 1, said Commissioner Hermann. Mr. Hermann's resignation was requested about two weeks ago by the secretary of the interior and was immediately presented. Charges have been preferred against two of the subordinate officials of the land office involving alleged irregularities and they have been given a specific time in which to make answer. The two officials are Harry King and Fred Metzger, assistant chief of the draughtsmen's division of the government land office. The former is charged with neglect of duty and the latter with mismanagement and unsatisfactory administration of his duties. tory administration of his duties. Mr. Metzger was formerly from Kansas and was once chief clerk of the general land office. The relations between Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner Hermann have been strained for a long time. Land Commissioner Hermann's laxness in enforcing the land laws has brought the latter's resignation about the secretary of the interior believing that the timber and stone frauds particularly were the result of the looseness of Hermann's methods. Many errors, the result of careless examination of records in cases submitted by local land officers, were approved and passed by the general land office and were not detected until they reached the secretary's office for approval. The secretary also believes that the commissioner has allowed sentiment to play too large a part in the settlement of cases, the commissioner at times so liberally construing the law as to almost nullify it. Local land offices have been so often reversed in their decisions that they were compelled to fall into line with Hermann's general policy, to which the secretary attributes many abuses now existing. Secretary Hitchcock has ordered an extensive investigation of the work of two of Hermann's subordinates and extremely interesting developments are expected. German Government Silent Berlin.—The German government is completely silent as to when the blockade will be raised, or whether it will be raised at all, until every question concerning arbitration is settled. The acceptance of arbitration after the blockade was declared is not received with popular favor in Germany. General von Boguslawski, one of the foremost military writers, contributes to the Rundschau his views upon the Monroe doctrine. He says the withdrawal of the blockade at this stage would show singular weakness. He quotes the late Prince Bismarck's expression that the Monroe doctrine was "a great piece of impudence." Ten Men Killed. Trinidad, Col.-Developments indicate that the wreck on the Colorado & Southern railroad just outside of this city recently which was caused by a collision between a merchandise freight train and a heavily loaded coal train, was the most disasterous in the history of the road, where freight trains alone were concerned. It is known tonight that at least 10 men were killed. Price of Oil Is Going Up Chicago.—A special from New Orleans says: The Standard Oil company has at last secured control of the Beaumont oil fields in Texas and the Jennings oil region in Louisiana. There are only a few small camps remaining outside, and they cut very little figure in the marketing of fuel oil. The price of fuel oil has advanced $1 a barrel, and the indications are that the quotations will go still higher. Big Timber Fire. Louisville, Ky.—Fire, which broke out in the wholesale whisky house of Bonnie Brothers, in the heart of the wholesale whisky district of this city, caused a loss of about $100,000 and threatened for a time to destroy the Louisville & Nashville Railway company's general offices and other property valued at three or four times that amount. Archduke Renounces Rank Berlin.—The semiofficial Berliner Abend Post says Emperor Francis Joseph has accepted Archduke Leopold Ferdinand's renunciation of his rank and has sanctioned his adoption of a civil name, Woefling, and has also ordered that his name be stricken from the lists of the Knights of the Golden Fleece and of the army. Two Found Dead at Hayre Havre, Mont.—Two colored men were found dead here under suspicious circumstances. One is a bartender, the other a retired musician of the Tenth cavalry. Morphine or alcohol may have caused death. LYNCHED WOMAN AND MAN. South Carolina Mob Had No Regard For Sex. Greenwood, S. C.—W. G. Jay, a prominent young farmer of the Troy section of this county, was murdered in his own yard by a negro, Oliver Weidman, or Weidman's wife, both of whom lived on the place, and a few hours afterward both of the negroes were lynched by Jay's infuriated neighbors. Mr. Jay, on returning home, heard Weidman abusing and fighting his (Weidman's) wife. He went to the cabin and ordered the negro to be quiet. Immediately afterward, Mrs. Jay heard the report of a gun and saw the two negroes running away. Calling her husband, she received no reply, and on looking around the yard found him dead in a pool of blood. The alarm was quickly given and parties were soon scouring the country in pursuit of the negroes. They were captured, and before the coroner's jury both acknowledged the deed. The man, however, said the woman did it, and the woman accused the man. While in the custody of a constable on the way to the jail, they were stopped at the Winterseat bridge by a crowd of infuriated friends and neighbors of Jay and both were lynched, each accusing the other of the crime. The lynching took place about midnight. Jay was a prominent Mason, holding a high office in the grand lodge of South Carolina. New York, Dec. 30.—Nine persons met violent deaths in Greater New York Sunday. Four were clear cases of suicide and the others resulted from a variety of causes. Mrs. Hugh Mooney drank carbolic acid and died before a physician could attend her. Her husband said she had tried 12 times before to commit suicide. Mrs. Mary Clarke, aged 45, wife of the chief officer of the steamer Beverly, died from the result of gas poisoning, self administered. George Simon, 46, and Jacob Schwartz, 35 years of age, died after drinking carbolic acid. Mary Stack, aged 24, of Dhittinsville, Mass., was found dead in a hotel. Escaping gas is given as the cause. An unidentified man was found in her room unconscious. Mary Serles, aged 38, drank wood alcohol and died in a hospital. Henry Bunkey, aged 27, was found on the sidewalk with a fractured skull and died later. Two men are dead as the result of falls, one in the power house of a street railway company and the other in a lodging house. An 18 year old girl unsuccessfully attempted suicide by swallowing carbolic acid and a woman, 32 years old, hanged herself in a police station, but was cut down in time to save her life. Fitz Smashed Mr. Ball. Anaconda, Mont.—With a left arm hook Robert Fitzsimmons floored his former manager. Clark Ball, in the lobby of the Thornton hotel a few minutes after 1 o'clock in the morning. The blow struck Ball surely on the point of the jaw and he was knocked against a corner of the desk at the end of the counter. His head came in violent contact with a sharp corner and a laceration resulted. In another fraction of a second Ball was prostrate and out. He was revived in a few seconds and his bleeding head bathed. He was not seriously injured and was apparently as well as ever within 10 minutes after the blow was struck. The trouble was precipitated by the fact that Ball has severed his connection with the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons combination and signed a contract with Jack Munroe whereby the local miner, who had stood before Jeffries for four rounds a week ago Saturday night, is to be the star attraction of an athletic show managed by the former manager of "Lanky Bob." When the men met tonight there was some wrangling and Ball called Fitzsimmons a liar. Then the blow was struck. Washington.—Considerable opposition is developing to the ratification of the Cuban reciprocity treaty now pending in the senate. It is not taking quite the form that the opposition to the Cuban legislation took last spring, but it is sufficient in substance to give concern to the friends of the treaty. From time to time as opportunity offers the president is discussing the matter with senators, particularly those who are known to have objected to legislation extending tariff concessions to the Cuban republic. Several weeks ago it appeared that the treaty when presented to the senate would be ratified without difficulty but some senators now are taking as strong grounds against the treaty as they took against the legislation proposed at the last session of congress. These senators are of two classes, those who are opposed on principle to any "tariff keringing," and those who represent states whose products may be affected by the concessions extended to Cuba by the pending treaty. Cold Snap in the South Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 29.—Last night was the coldest of the season, the thermometer registering 24 here and 30 at Tampa, the latter with killing frost. It is feared young orange trees are killed or badly hurt, as the previous warm weather had kept the sap in the upper limbs. There is considerable fruit yet in the groves in some sections, and it may have been harmed. In political life the ex follows the ax. CULLED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. A Review of Happenings In Both Eastern and Western Hemispheres During the Past Week—National Historical, Political and Personal Events Tersely Expounded. Hadda Mullah, who caused so many outbreaks on the northwest frontier of India, died recently. Rev. N. B. Naylor of Armstrong, Mo., performed a marriage ceremony recently by which five couples were united. General Leonard Wood has accepted an invitation of the Kansas Day club to respond to a toast at their banquet, January 28. General Funston will probably be present. The total number of students in attendance at Cornell University to date is 2968, a gain of 176 over last year. Count Tolstol has sent a personal appeal to the press asking the papers in view of his advanced age and illness, not to publish any further reports of his condition, as they cause him pain. It is reported on good authority that Archduke Ferdinand and the crown princess of Saxony and their companions propose going to the United States, there being little probability of their finding congenial homes in Europe. At Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, widow of General Fremont, died recently, aged 78 years. According to the Railroad Gazette, railroad building in the United States during 1902, aggregated 6026 miles, a total not exceeded in any year since 1888. Second track, sidings and electric lines are not included. Oklahoma leads with 507 miles of new line; Texas comes next with 496 miles; Arkansas is third with 371 miles and Indian Territory fourth with 363 miles. Signor Mascagni, the Italian composer, who abandoned his American trip while playing in Chicago has been placed under arrest on a charge of embezzlement, made by his former manager, Richard Heard. Max Hayes, a prominent socialist and labor leader, has sent a long letter to David M. Perry, president of the National Manufacturers' association at Indianapolis, challenging him to debate the relative rights of labor and capital. The place of meeting and date is the privilege of Mr. Parry. Papers found among the effects of George Pleydell, who was frozen to death at Duluth, Minn., recently, almost within reach of his own doorway, indicate that he was the son of Major Thomas Pleydell of Acton, Middlesex, England, formerly of the royal army, and a man of wealth. President Dryden of the Prudential Life Insurance company of America has issued a statement announcing that the plan proposed for the merger of the Prudential company and the Fidelity Trust company of Newark has been abandoned. Mrs. Mary Hartweel Catherwood, the well known authoress, died at her residence in Chicago recently of cancer. Fire in the center of the business district of San Pedro, Cal., destroyed about $75,000 worth of property recently. One half of the most prominent business blocks of the city was burned out. Two lives were sacrificed, R. W. Smith, a laborer, and Findezen, a retired sea captain. Dan McLeod won the championship of catch as catch can wrestling and the $1500 end of a $2000 purse in Mechanics' hall at Worcester, Mass., before 1100 people recently by getting the better of Tom Jenkins. Stole Northport Smelter Gold Rossland, B. C.—Peter Swanson a saloonkeeper from Northport, Wash., was arrested here on the charge of having stolen goods in his possession. His arrest is the outcome of a campaign against a ring of theives who have been stealing matte from the Northport smelter for some time. The matte is valued at from $3.50 to $10.00 per pound, and it is an easy matter for men about the works to put a pound or two in their pockets. This has been done and the swag traded at saloons about Northport until the practice became notorious. Swanson's place was a well known fence for stolen matte, and when Swanson came to Rossland he had about 100 pounds of the stuff, valued at $1000, in his possession. John S. Ingram, chief of police, made the arrest, and Swanson was promptly arrained on a charge of having stolen goods in his possession. He pleaded guilty to the charge. The maximum penalty is 14 years' imprisonment. He implicated others.

THE BLOOD. The blood is life. We derive from the blood life, power, beauty, and rea- son, as the doctors have been saying from time immemorial. A health; body, a fresh appearance, and general) all the abilities we possess depend or that source of life. Itis therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and normal as possible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, ha: given us a thermometer indictaing the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, head: ache, ringing noises in the ears, lassi tude, sleeplessness, are generally a sigr that the blood is’ not in its normal state, but is filled with noxione eub: stances. These symptoms deserve our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taker to remove them, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become un- known, and the human body would be- come stronger end healthier. Atten tion therefor should be paid to thos warning signs, and the blood can bx purified and poisonous substances re moved from it by the use of Dr. Augue Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

Disaster Happened at the Molly Gib- son Mine, near Nelson—8000 Feet Up the Mountainside—Slide Started From the Peak of the Mountain—Ex. perience of Survivors. Nelson, B. C.—One body found, eight men buried with no hope of recovery, is the record to date of the snowslide at the Molly Gibson mine. Five survivors of the disaster are at the mine, huddled in tae \unael mouth, with no fuel or ciotuiug beyond under- wear. ‘The mine is at an altitude of approx: imately 0000 feet. Up above is a rocky sige, then an immense glacier, half a «ile wide, then jagged bare peaks of rock. ‘The slide started from the peak by some probably slight cause swung round the clif or ridge sheltering the <uildings and struck the bunkhouse endwise, sweeping it and its occupants down a dry canyon. Of the 19 in the fouflding 10 escaped, although more or tess injured. Four of the survivors spent the night in the snow, wrapped in blankets. In the morning they start ed down the hill. The first two reach- ed the hut at the foot of the tram- way at 2 o'clock. The snow was from 6 to 20 feet deep. One man with a broken leg and shoulder bone was car- ried into the tunnel and spent all of Friday and Saturday till noon with- out food or attention. A couple of sur- vivors then got the tramway working and sent him down in a bucket. It vould not be used to get rescuers up. ‘The names of the men in the bunk- house were: J. Campbell, dead, body found. Buried in the snow since Christmas night: T. Rouse, Silverton; W. Col- lins, Nelson; L. Brouelle; W. G. Mur. phy; Ainsworth; Pietro, Italian; Piro, italian; M. E. Hall, assayor, Nelson; Chinese cook. ‘Those who escaped: D. McLaugh- lin, leg and shoulder broken; A Har- ris, frost bitten and bruised; D. Mc Creath, J. Dunlop, G. D. Bell. W. Sav. ille, A. McDonald, Charles Johnstone, all frost bitten and bruised; Jules La belle, W. C. McGinness, uninjured. G. E. Clark was in the hut at the foot of the tramway ac the time of the slide and escapea, McLaughlin was partly carried and sledded down 10 miles of the road to Kootenay lake and taken in the steamer to Nelson for ‘treatment, the bones having been set by Dr. Hawkey at the foot of the tram- ee. Campbell and Murphy were mar- ried men with families; the rest were single. It will probably be Monday before any bodies are recovered. Food will be taken up for the survivors and res cures tomorrow morning. The stable containing two horses was destroyed, but the horses are uninjured, although without food. Of the survivors of the slide nearly all had the same experience. The slide, after striking the bunkhouse, which went to pieces like a house of cards, swept the debris with the occu- pants along through the canyon below the buildings. When Dunlop was ex- tricated, his head was wedged between his knees, the snow locking him in that position. All unite in describing the suddenness of the slide. There was a sudden crash, for a couple of seconds the boards of the building were sailing in every direction, then a wild struggle through the snow, which twirled them like cords for a few mo- ments more and then only the roar of the wind and the wild cries for help from every direction, ‘The parents of M. 8.

In June, 1895, I wrote to you about her care. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead cnly for those wonderful remedies. “About the same time I wrote you ‘about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. I com- menced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. “Your remedies doall that you claim for them, and even more.” Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according to directions.

The at: tractions in December were neither a credit to the syndicate’s bookings nor a compliment to the discrimina- tion of Butte theatergoers, The “menu” for January is Buch as to warrant the belief that the attrac- tions will all be well worth seeing, Following the minstrels are: January 45, “Devil's Auction,” a magnificent spectacular production, January 6-78, “Fiddle Dee Dee,” Weber & Field's production. January 11-12-13, “Human Hearts.” January 14-15-16, with matinee on the 15th, Robert Downing in heavy tragedy.

VICTORY FOR CASTRO SEVERE BLOW TO REBELS After Two Days of Hard Fighting the Government Forces Compel the In- surgents to Evacuate the Town, Leaving 112 Men Dead and 325 Wounded in the Streets—Result In. sures Castro's Continuance in Power. Caracas, Monday, Dec. 29.—Barquis fmeto, capital of the state of Lars, which for some time past has been in the possession of the Venezuelan revo- lutionists, has been recaptured by gov- ernment forces. The towns of San Carlos and Tinaquillo have also been reoceupied by the government. ‘The revolutionists at Bargiisimeto were under the command of Generals Solagnie and Penaloza. They evacu fated the town after losing 112 men killed and 325 wounded. ‘There was hard fighting In the streets and suburbs of Barquisimetc for two days. The government forces ‘were commanded by General Cerfering Castillo. It now transpires that President Castro’s recent visit to La Victoria ‘was not of a social nature, as reported here, but for the purpose of conducting personally by telegraph the operations ‘of his forces at Barquisimeto. This victory for the government appears to be @ direct result of the president's initiative. It has been a most severe blow for the revolutionists. CAUSES MUCH CRITICISM. British Admiral Allows a Dutch Ship to Enter Venezuelan Port. Caracas, Monday, Dec. 29.—United States Minister Bowen has received information that the Dutch steamer Prins Mauritz has entered Venezuelan ports blockaded by the British fleet and discharged her cargo there. Spe- cial permission for the Dutch steamer to do this was obtained from Commo- dore Montgomerie of the British cruiser Charybdis. The Italian cruiser Giovanni Bausan ordered the Prins Mauritz away from port, but Com- modore Montgomerie directed that sh¢ continue to discharge her cargo. Ip Caracas this is held to be a discrimina tion against American steamers, and the British commodore’s action has been criticized. CASTRO BACK IN CARACAS. Minister Bowen Recommends Arbitra ‘tion by the Hague Court. Caracas, Dec. 31.—President, Castro arrived here during the morning. At 3 o'clock p. m. United States. Minister Bowen called upon the president and communicated to him the recommenda. tion that the issue between Venezuela and the allies be taken to the interna- tional peace court at The Hague. Venezuela's answer will be received in the morning at 11 o'clock. The vic- tory gained by the governmént at Bar- quisimeto argues for President Cas- tro’s continuance in power. VENEZUELAN BLOCKADE. Hoped in Washington It Will Soon Be Raised. Washington, Dec. 31.—It is under stood to be the hope and expectation ‘of the president and his advisers that, upon the receipt of President Castro's reply to the arbitration proposition, the allies will agree to raise the block- ade established by them over Vene- guelan ports. Such action, in the view of this government, would place ‘the question in controversy in excel- lent shape for arbitration. WILL SHELL MARACAIBO. German Cruiser Falke Threatens the ‘Ciniaieeatieds Sain. London, Dec. 31.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Willemstad, Island of Curacao, says: “The postmaster of Maracaibo, Ven- ezuela, having detained correspond- ence belonging to German merchants, the German cruiser Falke threatens, in consequence, to bombard the town.” BADLY DEMORALIZED. Remnant of Moorish Imperial Army Arrives at Fez. London, Dec. 31.—The Tangier cor- respondent of the Times says that the remains of the routed imperial army returned to Fez in a demoralized con dition. The sultan has told a deputa tion of Fez merchants that he is pre pared to die in defense of the town. ‘The Moors are confident, continues the correspondent, after what passed between Menebhi, who visited London jast year as Morocco’s ambassador, and “Foreign Sccretary Lansdowne, that in case of necessity Great Britain ‘cannot refuse to give the sultan armed assistance. It is impossible to dis- ‘abuse them of this idea, as they lay the entire responsibility for the pres- ent rebellion at Great Britain's door for fostering European ideas and intro- ducing Christians into the Moorish court. TEN PERSONS DROWN. Fishing Boat Capsizes Off the Spanish Coat. |, Madrid, Dec. 31.—Ten persons were browned as the result of the capsizing ef a fishing boat off Ondarrer, Viscaya, Immigration for the Year.

The man who will probably be pointed to for many years to come as the last negro in congress is Geo H, White of Tarboro, N. C., who, af ter serving two terms, retired at the end of the Fifty-sixth congress to be succeeded by a white democrrat, and the constitution of the state" has since made it impossible for a man ‘of his color to be elected, at least not until so far in the future that it is useless to consider it. South Car olina, Alabama, Mississippi and Lou islana have likewise placed congres sional honors beyond the reach of the black man, while in the other south ern states’ the opportunity which he has is no more favorable. While ir nearly every house since the war there has been one or more negroes it may be noted in this connectior that but two negroes ever sat it the senate, and both were from Mis sigsippi—Bruce and Revells, TO THE BUSINESS MEN. “Advertise in the New Age.

All kinds of dry pine wood, Kem- merer, Rock Springs and Rocky Fork Coal.’ No, 4 East Broadway. We noticed a sign in a hardware store the other day, which read: “Cast iron sinks,” as though every vne didn’t know it would sink, When Snow Is Smoke. When Professor James Dewar insert- ed a small jet of flaming hydrogen into a vessel of liquid oxygen, the hydrogen continued to burn, giving off snow in- stead of smoke. The snow was form- ed by the instantaneous freezing of the water created by the combination of the burning hydrogen with the ox- yegen inclosing it. When he cooled lig- uid air until it became semisolid, he found he could draw the oxygen out of the mass with a magnet, leaving a $elly of pure nitrogen. “Are you a married man?” inquired the inquisitive stranger. “No, sir,” replied the other sadly. “Ob,” said the frst, “I trust you will pardon me for referring to your be Feavement.
