LEADVILLE.
lit e There Baa Grown Too Tame to Inter
eat the Visitor.
There used to be a deal more variety
and life In Leadville than there is now..
in its early days every phase of human
nature was represented here, and if
' there was any wickedness common to
any other section of the globe of which
this camp had no specimen some public-spirited
bad man would import a
supply. It .was a lively mining camp
in all that the term implies, and never
hid the light of its wickedness under a
buBhel. Nothing was hidden, neither
the saloons nor the gambling houses
nor the worst places. The man who
wanted to be bad need seek but lightly
lor an opportunity. As for the diver
tisement of an impromptu duel to the
death, that was so easily obtained as to
quickly lose its charm. ; Everybody car
ried a "gun," and, soon or late, every
body used it with a fellow-being for a
target.
- Now this is largely changed. Lead
ville is not yet a prominent way station
on the route to the better land, but is
as peaceful as the average town of its
size in or out of the mining region.
Men here are too busy to attend to the
affairs of their neighbors; there does
not seem to be an undue amount of
drinking, and business goes on about
as it does elsewhere. . State street is
still here, and those who knew it in
other days may be interested in know
ing that its sanitary condition from a
moral standpoint 1b still bad and need
ing fumigation and disinfection. An
energetic and general conflagration
along that thoroughfare would result
in a purification of the moral and phys
ical atmosphere. Still, I contend that
Leadville is no worse than many other
towns, and by comparison with Bonie
of them, and es: ocially with its former
self, is a brig; t and shining light set
upon, a bill. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Lord Bramwell'a Piety.
The late bishop of Winchester is said
to have possessed, among his many
other qualities, that of sarcasm. A good
story is told of a retort he made to the
late Lord BramwelL who, meeting him
on his way back to his room to take off
his robes after reading prayers in the
house of lords, apologized for having
been absent from the ceremony, "When
1 kneel down it gives me palpitation of
the heart," said Lord JJramwell; "and
It would not Us respectful for me to sit
or Biaua wniie your-lordship was pray
ing." Bishop Thorold.

A MIGHTY HUNTEE.
Death of a Once Famous Pennsyl-
.ante Nimrod. ' - ;
In law
. the
Oone By He Was Known
Host Successful Trapper
nnd Woodsman of .
the East. . ?
Joseph Mahn, of Elk county, once
famous as a mighty hunter4 died a few
days ago, nearly 90 years old. It was
less than ten years ago that foiling,eye
sight compelled him to give up hiB life
in the woods. He had hunted and
trapped in the Pennsylvania woods
since 1820, and the stories of his ex
ploits are household words in the west
ern and northern portions of this state.
He remembered when elk were ! yet
numerous in the state, and one of hip
favorite stories was of the time when
he was a boy and went with his father
on an elk hunt. They followed the elk
from the headwaters of the Alleghnny
river until it crossed Ahe river below
where Oil City is now, and led the chase
into Ohio, where, on the third day of
the hunt, it was killed not far from
what is now Mansfield.
This old woodsman ended his career
as a hunter and trapper by a series of
successes which he declared were tha
most satisfactory to him of all hip exploit.-'
He was ; trapping' in .Center
county, and had four bear traps out.
II istarted out one morning to look
after them. The first trap he visited
had done good work. It had a big
bear in it with a magnificent nt of
fur. The old trapper shot the beor and
went on to another trap. That one had
a surprise for him. It was not a beur,
but an ugly, glaring, snarling cata
mount, the largest one Mahn had ever
seen in all his career in the forest It
was not only ugly, but extremely tough,
fm the trapper had to shoot it five
times before it. would die. This trophy
was over four feet long.
After killing the catamount Mahn
want on to the third trap, and there he
found awaiting him a monstrous old
limer of a he bear, caught in the trap
by both fore feet. How the bear man
aged to get both feet into the trap was
something Mahn could not nnderstand,
as it was a thing unheard of in bear
trapping. This bear was a savage old
chap, and resented it capture with so
much tenacity that he would not ive
up until four rifle bullets induced him
to. ibat three traps in succeeelon
tliould have yielded each sxyfltie a prize
was enough to astonish even a veteran
trapper, but when the fourth one came
to the front with a third bear, as flne'iie
either of the others, the old trapper re
joiced greatly. 1 1 waa a tronpjng event
without precedent in the Pennsylvania
woods, and aa It waa a fortnight sine
Mahn had shot the biggest buck on
record aa having been killed in the tte,
he was willing to go home and rest the
remainder of hU dnya on the laurels
tnese exploits alone had won him. And
ne fully intended to do bo, for he had
lost the sight of one eye entirely, and
the othHt eye waa falling. But he was
not permitted to retire Just vet.
. A few week after his great trapping
rjjxrirnce a delegation of backwoods
rarniers waited on him and eoli.it!
him to go kill a War or soiutlhiug that
una playing Havoc with their sheen and
iga. The weather waa warm, and
Mann did not care to undertake the
lank, lwinir tlirn almost 80 years of age,
ma neignoors iniMed, and he took
down his gun once more and shouldered
his Irnps. He put out six wildcat traps
and four bear traps. The next day
ench. one of fhe of the former had a
wildcat In It, and the sixth one bad the
lower part of a wildcat's fore Irg. Two
of the liear traps had each a big bear,
a tnirn l-r trap wan missing. The
chain was broken looae from the wood
en clog, and It waa plain that a bear
had walked off with the trap to one of
irr. i ie fourth bear trap had not
porn iiiainrtx-u.
Mabndldnot Intend to go borne with

He tracked the hear that bad It to

The bear was Inclined to fight the Inn-

On bla way buck home to gat help to

FIGHT WITH TWO LIONS.
Hairbreadth Escape froaa the ClBtckes of
a Unngrv Beset,
..He saw, above the ledge and a little
beyond, the ears and head of a lion aa it
sat watching the deer. Jake rose In
his saddle to place a bullet, as he said,
midway between those ears, when a
powerful lion leaped from behind a tree
on the ledge of rock above and, striking
himln the chest .carried him off his horse,
headlong down the mountain, and hla
horse ran wildly away. A moment later
Jake waa lying on hla back In the snow,
kia head up hUl and the beast standing
over him with one paw planted firmly
on his chest, the other slightly lifted,
and wagging ita tall in delight, while
its hot breath waa exhaled Into Jake'a
face.
, HU first Impulse waa to hold down hla
chin tightly, to prevent hla throat be
ing torn open, while he cautiously felt
for his knife. He found the foUe and
aa he drew It a alight grating- sound
caused the lion to rebound at his feet
and aa it did so it uttered a scream
which Jake knew only gave him the
chance of a monies t. It waa a call for
the other lion, fearing to make a
motion of escape or resistance he moved
his band back in the snow In Branch of
his rifle, which had bees lost In the fail.
Hla finger touched the stock. He cau
tiously pulled it down by his side end
still looking his captor straight in the
eyes alowly turned the rifle till its
rauule faced the lion. The bullet pas-cd
through its heart and It sank on Jako'a
feet. Before be could more from bis
helpless position the other lion bounerd
orer the precipice and Borne what over
leaping iu mark lit la the snow and in.
atanuy received a bullet ta Its brain.
The two lions lay dead not tea feet

"Helen!"
The maniiging editor of the future
apoke shprply. She was evidently angry
about something.
"Yes, ma'am," replied the private sec

"She is drinking too much," ex

widower and has to depend on her for
support, but I can't help it. She will
have to go."
"I'll do it at once, ma'am."
' "This liquor evil la becoming a very

What does the prince of Wales owe?
Probably nobody alive could answer the
question, even approximately, offhand.
For 30 years at least his books have
shown a balance on the wrong side, and
despite the large sums annually passing
into his strong box, the deficit is be
lieved to have increased every year
with gloomy regularity. In 1884 ho
was said to be getting, from all sources
combi ned, about $600,000 a year. What
his gross income Is now it would puzzle
anybody to find out ( Mr. Gladstone,
In 1889, with that knightly deference
to the dynastic principle which has al
ways been so marked a characteristic
in him (and which has been constantly
repaid by the most spiteful ingrati
tude from at least the head "of the
dynasty), passed through the house of
aommons a measure to consolidate, re
arrange and otherwise reform the
whole Inwinees of royal grants, with
particular reference to the prince of
Wales and his family. Mr. Gladstope
vouched for the bill in a speech of great
earnestness and eloquence, and it Went
through olj right, but I have never met
anyone who felt sure that he under,
stood the exact elTect of lt provisions.
It was assumed, however, that it cer
tainly left the prince no worse off than
ho was before, and it did, in one re
spect, definitely Increase his specified
Income by creating a new grant of
$180,000 a j enr to him for his children
this to be In lieu of further graLts
to them as Individuals during his life
time. Since then his elder son has died
and his elder daughter has married a
banker-peer, who is alio nn Intimate
friend of the prince, and who, we may
l sure, has relieved him from the
necessity of accounting for thnt par
ticular fourth of the grant. Another
unugnter, rrtneeae Mnud. Is to wed
a cousin of the Danish family, who will
m nnnusoraeiy provided, for from
nnncial point of flow, sad It may hr
fvhea in, fl-rnnted that here, too, no
uesvy outlay is to be dreaded by the
prince, ner lamer.
The prince of Wales still 1ms. tlrr-r.
fore, a gross Income of $500,000 or more,
and jet, with all the machinery fr
liKbtening his current expenses, which
exerienee end necessity have perfect
ed, he gets more and more Into h lit.
I have seen with my ow u eyes a Irtti-r
written not long ago by h!s principal
man of business to an old-established
firm of wine merchants, to whom the
prince Lvl owed about $r.,ooo for five
years or more. They had asked very
resicetfulry for a settlement, and this,
lit suhttatire, waa the answer, which,
as bos been said, I personally saw! "lha
royal highness is ritremely annnyid
nt your communication, and lnslrii.-ir
me to any w at If he gets any more turn
letters his patienegeof your establish
ment will be at once and eiumni-tiUy
withdrawn. Inclose ITiO on account,
which Is the mast that can lie done at
present."
It Is raay lo think harshly of the situ
ation dierloeed by such a tloctimrnt as
Clila. but somehow to me t he pathr of It
cornea uptwrmoet If ever a man waa
thrust by fortune Into a false pokltton,
and then remorselessly held there, as la
a viae, by forrea entirely beyond hit con
trol, It la this unhappy rinre of Wales.
It is not opr-a to bim to go through Die
bankruptcy court. He eannot eut dow a
bis current outlay to any such eimoem
Sral twJnt aa would eleld ravine Urge
enough to affret the etrr mounting
prlnripal of hla debts. He has to go on
in the weary treadmill. Being the munvy
that eotora la to ettinguiab here and
here ancient claims which double
themselves at usurious rates, airaa
while euolraeling new obligations to
rise up and confound bim later on.
If there were no other signs of this,
the atrial hsmlllationa to whkb the
prince baa surrendered hitnartf during
the peel dorea jeers, solely for the sake
of the money they would )W-ld, would

called indifferently Hirsch, or Sassoun,
or Bleichroder, or Poln.ikoff, has been
brought into familiar prominence.
Sometimes one of them, as in the case
of Baron Hirsch, combines with servile
and fawning instincts notable and even
lofty qualities. Mankind very properly
is willing, in the case of Maurice Hirsch,
to pass over lightly and quickly tho
meaner and baser side of his character
and life, and to dwell for a long tiroo
upon the splendor and magnitude of his
philanthropic conceptions. Harold

A Omall Boy Enlightens Hit Teacher on
the Real Vernacular.
In a four-roomed house in a short
thoroughfare in the most populous part
of the west side live "Jamcsy" and his
family. His family consists of a father
and mother, and a younger brother and
a younger sister. Although "Jamesy,"
as the eldest child, is perhaps the most ,
important member of the famiJy, he
is less than seven years old, and not
very large for his age. The greater
portion of his brief life has been spent
on the sidewalk, where he learned to
fight his own battles and take a few
hard knocks without grieving. His
father and mother are hard-working
people, but they have been so busy for
two or three years getting soup bones
and firewood to throw at the wolf that
"Jamesy's" education has been neg
lected. The boy learned many things,
but he didn't get them out of a primer.
For two months he had been "hustlin "
papers, until a truant inspector found
him one day and took him home.
"Jamesy's" mother was told that the
boy belonged in school, and thnt he
must be started in at once. Bite was a
well-meaning woman and agreed that
"Jamesy's" education should begin the
next morning.
, The boy went to the tchoolhouse half
determined to "duck" at recess, but the
teacher treated him so kindly and there
waa ao much of a novelty in the show
that he decided to remain. He soon
began to feel at home, and he scraped
up a whispering acquaintance with a
small Jew boy at his right. The teach
er Interested him greatly.. He watched
I'M draw a picture of a cube, and then
heard her read off n row of figures from
the blackboard, and he concluded that
erxr-wa. aba smartest, ncrsotl in the
world, except the man at the one Per,
show who made a beautiful colored
landsi-aj while- the orchestra played
ryie tune.
Toward the close of the morning sea
alon the teacher sn Id:
"Now, children, I am going to read to
ybu a little piece out of this book, and
I wantyou to listen very closely, so that
jou can repeat it to me when I have
finished."
This aroused Jlmmle. If there was
anything he delighted In It was relat
ing, with sundry emphatic gestures, to
hla younger brother at home accounts
of the during exploits of Tom Dnlton
and Jesse James as he heard them from
Ihe lips of older boys. He wss certain
ly .tnterckted, and if m-hool was like
this be made up hla mind lo put up
with sevetal disagreeable features and
return the next forenoon. He straight
ened himself In hla scat st the request
lo "ait erect," prepared to alworb every
word of the exrrtrd atory.
The teacher said: ".Now, I will read
this from this little book, and any of
you who wish lo ean reirat it to the
class in your own words. Ikir't try
to soy it aa I read It, but jual ns you
would say It" Jlmmle'a eyre grew big,
and he waa all attention. The leat her

readers

Caa the cow run? Yra, the cow ran run.
("an the cow run aa fust as the horse?

all? 'Ale dead easy." Ills hand waa

Jsaira, you rosy try It, but be rsreful

"Jsmaej" arose. Ordinarily he wss
not bashful, b'lj. now his far Wss
flushed, and he wss trembling with Its,
