MINERAL AND METAL PRODUCTION. The Output \Vell Sustained Under Most Adverse Conditions. The statistics of the mineral and metal production of the United States in 1894, compared with the Output in 1893, are published in . the Engineering and Mining Journal. The total value of the mineral and metal production was in 1893, $615,846,806; 1894, $553,272,902; showing a. decline of no less than 862,- 573,904, or 9 per cent. This great fall- ing off was, however, due far 'more to lower prices than tolessened quantity of the product. Thus the value of our coal production declined last year 813,783,- 828, or only 7 per cent., while in quan- tity it fell off only 6,220,970 short tens, or 3 1-2 per cent. This comparatively small decline in the volume of coal pro- duced is substantially a measure of the whole mineral output of the country. The copper output increased 8 per cent, from 327,255,788 pounds in 1893 to 353,504,314 pounds in 1894, though in value it declined ‘no less than $1,639,508, or 5 1-2 per cent. The production of gold increased from $35,955,000 in 1893 to $39,761,204 in 1894, but the commercial value of the silver produced declined from $47,311,450 in 1893 to $31,403,531 in 1894, a fall of 815,- 907,929, or 31 per cent. This was par- tially due to a reduced production from 60,500,000 ounces in 1893 to 40,846,875 ounces in 1894, but the price also de- clined from 78.2 cents an ounce in 1893 to 63 centsin 1894. Pig iron showed a heavy decline in quantity from 7,047,384 long tons in 1893 to 6,657,388 tons in 1894, but the value declined much more than the quantity, or from 893,888,309 in 1893 to $71,966,364 in 1894, a falling CE in values of 23 1-2 cent., and in quantity of only 5 1-2 per cent. The value of spelter declined ~ 81,000,000, though the quantity pro duced fell 011' only 2,250 tons. On the whole the mineral industries of the United States have made a highly satisfactory record in 1894 in the quan- tity produced under such an enormous shrinkage in values. With prices lower than ever before thought possible, and in the majority of cases lower than similar articles are produced anywhere else in the world, the output has declined very little. The low prices, no doubt, main- tained a large consumption, and now, with reviving prosperity and prices, the producers will reap the harvest for which they planted in the hard times. ' A PRISONER’S LADDER. Used for Climbing Out and Buck \Vhen He Visited His Sweetheart. Warden Patten, of the Indiana prison, south, at J efiersonville, has now on ex- hibition one of the most remarkable contrivances of a. prisoner that ever came into his collection. It is a ladder made of thousands of small pieces of twine,'thread, cords and rope, such as a convict would secretly collect through years of effort. With the rope Thomas Shepherd used to climb a thirty-foot wall and get out of the penitentiary night after night to visit an old sweet- heart. He never attempted to escape, and when his ladder was found one night he returned before his absence had been discoverer, rang the bell at the front gate and surrendered himself. On his arm he carried a. rubber coat, which had been used to conceal his striped shirt. He wore moccasins over his shoes. Shepherd told a straightforward story, so far as it went. He had made the lad- .der, he said, in order that he might visit a woman outside the prison. 'He had gone to her house only four times, he said. Last Sunday night when he returned he found his ladder gone from the wall and at once he decided to give himself up. He would not tell the woman’s name, but the prison officials think they have discovered her identity. She went from her home in Sullivan county, Ind., some years ago to live in J eflt'ersonville, near her convict lover. Shepherd said that he wove his ladder at night, and that it took him months to finish it. It contained threads, strincrs, and bits of cord of every size, length and color. They were woven, knotted and twisted skillfully. Shepherd was sent to priso'n to serve a. life sentence in 1875. was secured two years later, and he was_,repommitted on the same sentence on April 19, 1878. He has continually petitioned for executive clemency, and two years ago his sentence was com- muted to twenty years. He will be re- leased, consequently, on April 18, 1898. He was a country school teacher. One night at an apple paring he had a quar- rel with a man named Macey Engle over a girl- Engle had Shepherd ar- rested, and one night, before the case was tried, Engle was assassinated. Shepherdwas convicted purely on cir- cumstantial evidence... and has always ' maintained his innocence.—Vincennes Sun. Applying a Quotation. Hoax--—What’s the matter with Stock- by?

A new trial - IN SUMM‘BEE ’iDItESS. 'rr-rose USEFUL' WRAPS FOR COOL EVENINGS. Elaborate Capes 'and Collarettes. Tan, Gray and Colors Are Allowable in Some Styles. Suggestions as to the Children's Dress for “farm Weather. A light wrap of some sort is a neces- sary addition to a summer outfit, and as yet nothing so convenient and altogether so useful as the little cape has been in- vented. It is capable of great variety in material and- decoration, if not in shape, and the prettiest of airy trifles is simply a. yoke of silk covered with jet. to which are attached deep frills of point d’esprit lace and gracefully ar- ranged loops and bows of ribbon. Around the neck is the ruche of ribbon and lace which is a p-.rt of every dressy cape. All capes, if they are fashionable, are very short and show the waist line be- low, unless they are made in a. later style, which is fitted down to the waist at the back and front, with long‘stole ends reaching to the knee. Some of the nattiest little capes are full back and front and open over the sleeves, with only a. fall of lace or some loops of rib- bon to cover them, but the most general shape is cut circular to fall. in full godet plaits on the edge. Other little collar- ettes which reach only a little below the shoulder have long stole ends in front. A simple but showy cape is made of black satin in a short circular, which is shimmered with moonlight sequins and finished on the edge with a ruche :of black chiffon. This, with satin rosettes, forms the neck ruche, and on the shoul- ders are bows of black satin ribbon em~ broidered with spangles. Another pretty trimming for this style of cape is jet vandykes from the neck well down to- ward the edge, where it is finished with a tiny ruche of black lace, which is also used to finish the neck. Collars and revers of cream white open work embroidered batiste over white satin are a. novel and showy trimming for black satin capes. Some of the latest importations show a tendency toward longer mantles and a fancy for colors. They are made of shot glacc silks in shades of green or violet, and plaited full in the back, where they are fitted down to the waist and bloused a little in front with stole ends hanging below. The sleeve arrangement is a full short cape and the trimming an elaboration of lace. The latest thing in a. cloth cape comes in light gray, tan and dark blue, and is trimmed with inch wide bands of the cloth, stitched on in rows of varying lengths from the neck down, and lined 'with bright and very large plaid silk, which forms double bias frills down the front, made wide at the top and gradu- ated to nothing at the edge. Transparent black crepon is used for wraps and is usually lined with a color and trimmed with blacksatin ribbon. . Children's gowns do not admit of such variety in style and decoration as those for their elders, but any little change is an acceptable hint for mothers who can- not buy the little dresses ready made. Challies, in both dark and light colors, ' make very sensible and pretty dresses for girls of all ages, and they are made simply with box plaited blouse waists and satin ribbon collarand belt, or in a fashion more dressy, like the model, with a pointed yoke and epauletes of lace overa. plain color and trimmed with bands of inch wide satin ribbon of the color which predominates in the flowering—New York Sun. ‘ I ~the nasal passages.- For ‘ ‘ Stomach , .- Or Liver ' Troubles, Take YER’S A cathartic Pills ' Received ' ' ‘ Highest Awards At World’s Fair. .
