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.

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.

Xao Frlnoo of Wales Owes Vast Suma of Money.' His Koyal Hlsrhness pftea Subjected to Deep Humiliation, bj Requests from Uredttors-The Trsnbjr Croft Baccarat Incident. . 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.

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.

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.
