A MINER’S EXPERIENCE.

Incidentally the Experience of 3 Cricket
Fuse Line.

The truth of the following tale cannot
be vouched for. It ought to be true—
probably it is, as it was told the other
day to a small party in an uptown club
by an old mining engineer just from
Arizona who has always borne a
reputation for veracity.

“You know,” he said, “that one of
the most troublesome qualities about
giant powder which we use in our work
in the mines is the fact that the concus-
sion caused by one explosion explodes
any other powder which happens to be
near at hand. Fatal accidents are often

 

‘ - the result.

“And yet this same quality allowed
me to ascertain what I often desired to
know—just how fast crickets migrated.
They travel eight miles an hour, gentle—
men. I found it this way.

“Last- summer an old miner and my-
self were making our way across one of
the plains near Prescott to a claim some
miles distant. Night came on before
we reached our destination, and we were
compelled to build a fire on the trail and
fix ourselves till ‘ daylight came. We
had with us three sticks of giant pow-
der, which, for safety’s sake, we care-
fully laid on the trail about 100 yards
from the fire.

“Toward 10 o’clock we began to be
disturbed by a great number of those
big Arizona crickets,which were follow-
ing the trails across the plains. They
came by thousands. solemnly walking in
single file. We knew that it was no use
to disturb them, and so let them pass by
undisturbed. An hour passed and still
they came.

“At length I reached out to throw a
stick of wood into the fire, and as I did
so I brushed a cricket into the flames.
Instantly there was a loud explosion
that scattered the - ashes all over me.
Then came another and another and an-
other—bang! bang! bang!

“My companion and I jumped to our
feet and gazed down the trail. It was
simply aline of fire as explosion follow-
ed explosion. It kept up until we could
no longer hear the reports but we could
trace the devastation by the flashes of
light. The last died away in about 20
minutes.
had left our powder, and found but a
small stick, all gnawed, left. Then we
knew that the crickets had dined on it as
they passed. The fire and concussion
had done the rest.

“On the next day we kept along the
trail and found it strewn with the legs
and heads of dead crickets. The last
corpse was found just eight miles from
Where we had camped. An hour had in-
tervened between the arrival of the head
of the line and the disaster. Hence my
conclusion that crickets travel eight
miles an hour.”

\Vhispering Smith.

“Concerning Whispering Smith,” said
Judge Goggin, “he was a very remark-
able and successful man, although he al-
ways seemed to be broke. He occupied
the north half of the block, where the
post office now stands. He spent $70,—
000 on a frame building and $30,000 on
office buildings, and he had more busi-
ness from ’60 to ’05 than all the other
members of the Chicago bar put together.
He was collecting lawyer for nearly
every business house in the Eastern
cities.

“All his clerks roomed in the big
house he built for carrying on his busi-
ness.
lawyers that lived in Chicago—Judge
Magruder of the Supreme Court, Judge
Noble. John W. Ela, Judge Butler, Eg-
bert J amieson, Doc Clyde, Hart and
many others. Most of them are now
dead or nearly so.

“When J ami'eson kept his books Whis-
pering Smith used to make $75,000 a
year; but he spent annually about $110,-
000. He delighted in spending money.

. Once, when they had a sanitary fair

here, I knew him to lay five one hun-
dred dollar bills on the table for chances.
He had the best law library in the city;

Smith prospered in business until the
Baptist convention was held in Chicago
in 1866.

“Mrs. Smith, a sincere Baptist, invited
a large number of the preachers to stay
at her house, in which there was about
forty rooms. Smith raised a row one
Sunday morning, saying he couldn’t find
a clean shirt in the house, that the
preachers had stolen them all.

“He said that he was not running a
Baptist missionary home. That broke
up the family.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

SUNDAY DRINKING.

rm." McMillan Defines the Attitude ol
the Catholic Church Thereon.

The ,Rev. Father McMillan. of New_
York, recently preached on the subject
of “The Sunday Closing of Saloons and
Sabbath Observance Generally."~ He
strongly condemned not only the selling
of liquor on Sunday, but the patroniz-
ing of saloons on that day, and sup-
ported his position by quoting from the
pastoral letter and decrees of the Third
Plenary Council of Baltimore. Father
McMillan said:

“I maintain that every body or group
of Christians must take into considera-
tion the external observance of the Sun-
day in order that this important matter
may not be left to the priests as indi-
viduals. This has always been among
Catholics to recognized usage having the
force of law. The so-called continental
Sunday is a product of infidelity, and
has been forced upon Catholics in Eu-
rope by the civil power. This applies
especially to Paris, where the workmen
are beginning to demand the privilege of
giving up work on Sunday.

“After careful deliberation at the
Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in
1884, the Bishops of the United States
decided to remove all doubt concerning
Catholic Church teaching regarding in—
temperance and the proper observance
of the Sunday by the publication of a.
pastoral letter, from which these ex~
tracts are taken:

“ ‘There is one way of profaning the
Lord’s Day. which is so prolific of evil
results that we consider it our duty to
utter against it a special condemnation.
This is the practice of selling beer or
other liquors on Sunday, Or of frequent-
ing places where they are sold. This
practice tends more than any other to
turn the Day of the Lord into a day of
dissipation—to use it as an occasion for
breeding intemperance.

“ ‘While we hope that Sunday laws on
this point will not be relaxed, but even
more rigidly enforced. we implore all
Catholics, for the love of God and of
country, never to take part in such Sun-
day traffic, nor to patronize or counte-
nance it. And we not only direct the
attention of all pastors to the repression
of this abuse, but we also call upon
them to induce all of their flocks that
may be engaged in the sale of liquors
to abandon as soon as they can the dan-
gerous traffic, and to embrace a more be-
coming way of making a living.’ ”

She \Vas Absorbed in Her Paper.

She was a business like woman. There
was nothing frivolous in her face, if I
am any reader of countenances. She
looked as if she could. drive a bargain
with the skill of an expert. She board-
ed a. Main street car, walked calmly to
the front corner, sat down and began to
read a newspaper.

After several other pei sons had got
on, the conductor came forward to col-
lect the fares. The woman did not look
up from her paper. The conductor rang
upa number of fares and then began to
look puzzled. Evidently his receipts did
not correspond with the mental note he
had made of the number he should col-
lect.

“Did I get your fare?” he asked of a
man sitting on the opposite side of the
car. The reply was affirmative.

“And yours?” turning to his neighbor.
Still an affirmative reply. The woman
continued absorbed in her paper. The
conductor looked hard at her several
times, but evidently her sex savedher
from an accusation of trying to beat the
company. - ’

The conductor shook his head sadly
and returned to the rear platform. Then
the woman stopped reading and, with
just the ghost of a. smile on her face be-

' gan looking out of the window.—Buifalo

The Philadelphia Standard of Velocity.

The visitor from the West was wan-
dering around the streets of Philadel-
phia late at night. and finally ran up
against a police officer.

“ ’Skuse me, mister,” he said, “but
where’s the gate to the cem’t’ry?”

“What do you mean?” inquired the
officer.

“Ain’t thish cem’t’ry?” protest-ed the
visitor.

“No, it’s Chestnut street.”

“ ’Skuse me, I didn’t know.”

“Well, you don’t seem to know any-
thing very clearly,” growled the officer,
“and if you don‘t go where you belong
I’ll run you in.

“Guessh not,” responded the visi-
tor.

“Won’t I?” and the officer caught him
by the arm.

“Coursh you won’t; you can’t. Besh
you can do in this town ish to walk me I
in,” and the visitor tumbled helplesslyt
into the officer’s arms, with a leery
laugh.

Heel and Toe for 1,500 Miles.

Robert F. Clever, a Pittsburg law-
yer, proposes to take a walking tour of
1,500 miles this summer, starting on the
first of next month. The route selected
will be by way of Brownsville road to
the National pike, to Harper’s Ferry
and through the Cumberland and Shen-
andoah valleys. Mr. Clever takesa. trip
of this kind every year. He has walked
through nearly every State in the East
and through all the southern counties of
Pennsylvania.

No Striking There.

There are now five tramps in the Al-
lentown jail who are keptrat work car-
rying pig iron, and, strange to relate,
there have been no strikes so far. The
hours are from 7 :30 to 11:30 a. m., and 1
to 4:30 p. m. The rule of the prison, as
applied to tramps, is ”no work, no
food,” hence the absence of kicking.—
