thing of the faoion»
Rocky Mountains led
[ year* ago, to paw a portion of
my mramer vacation in the vicinity of the
world renowned Com stock Mines. While
idling a boot and absorbing, as it were, in
formation throngh the pores of my skin, a
similarity of tastes brought me into dailv
contact with one of the Flood, Mackey Sc
O’Brien syndicate of Bonanza Kings, and
the inelegant but forceful philosophy of
bis great accumulator of wealth made &
lasting impression upon my mind.
Sitting ane evening in his room and enjoy
ing at once his quaint humor and his
fragrant Havana, I remarked, “Captain,
one of the old proverbs recites that ‘there
is no short road to wealth,’ but you have
found one. You are still a young man, com
paratively, and are quoted a multi-million
aire.” “Yes,” he said, “and of all the un
true sayings some of the proverbs, pop
ularly supposed to embody the wisdom of
the ages, are the most false and misleading.
Look, lor a moment, over the list of
wealthy men whose fortunes amount to $50.-
000 and upward, and point out to me, if you
can, one single individual who has not ac-
n ' 'Mg money by some short road to
wealth.”
• i ue days of man are few, and time is not
given in this age of the world for men to ac
cumulate much wealth except by means of
special openings, and by taking advantage of
the nigh cuts.” “You may be right,” I said,
•*tut where one man succeeds in reaching his
goal by a cross country road, do not the
many fail?” “No,” said he, “Didn’t I see
you starting out yesterday by the main road
to the camp on the other side of the moun
tain?” “Yes,” I said. “Well.” he replied,
“you could have taken the trail over the
hills, saved probably two hours' walking,
and reached the camp in absolute safety and
Certainty, only you did not know of the
trail. It is just so in business, the man that
wants to travel with an ox team and ride in
the wagon, must go by the big road, while
the fellow who goes by the trail will get
there first, and if there is only one supper to
be hat at the station the cross country
traveler is the one who will eat it. Take
my own experience, which is simply an il
lustration of the way every fortune has been
made. 1 was keeping a little store here and
barely ‘making tongue and buckle meet,’
when I had an opportuntity to get holt of a
block of stock in the then infant Comestock
Mines, ‘i chewed it over’ for three days
and decided to take it in, and that
move lead naturally to all that 1 have done
since, and proved the foundation of mv for
tune. I bought more stock, as 1 had
money; bought stock in other good mines,
and before I knew it 1 was well fixed.”
“But,” i said, “prices here are so high that
there is little chance for a man of small
means.” “That’s true,” he replied, “but
there ara plenty of good properties about
here, and their success is only a question of
means and good management. Then, too,
if you want to do something in mines, I will
tell ycu of a field where you can do better
than here, and one that in my opinion is the
bast on the Americin continent. I should
have gone myself to it if I bad not been so
heavily interested here that I could not get
away. I refer to the gold region of North
Georgia. There is the first, an 1, as I said
before, I think the best mining region in this
country.” “Why,” I said, “is not more
beard about it?” “Because,” he replied,
“planting was the great absorbing industry
of the South before the war. That region
during the war was the battle ground, and
miners were forced into the West, where, in
the meantime, the centre of the industry
has become establBhed. In Georgia you
can get hold of mines on the basis of $100,•
000 that in the West would be worth
a million, and to make them success
ful you only nee I money to operate
and efficient management. There you can
work out doors every day in the year; labor
which is high here is cheap there; fuel and
water are abundant, and the ores generally
in larger bodies, equally as rich or richer
than ours, and the cost of mining, owing to
the softer walls about the veins and lower
wages, is less than one-quarter of the cost
lor the same worx here.’ 1
Naturally I was interested to look up the
history of the Comstock, and I found that
stock quoted atfS.OO per share in the early
days o» operations, sold soon after as high as
$li 8) per share, and that upwards of $300,-
000,000 were paid out in dividends to share
holders.
. 1Y) a iMir>wlnrlgp of these fact®, and a sub
sequent'-thorough acquaintance with the
Georgia gold region, which my friend, the
Captain, has not overtstunated, may be di
rectly attributed the formation of the At
lanta Gold Mining Company.
The company has carefully selected its
property, has placed in management of the
same men of experience, tried in the busi
ness, and now places before you the oppor
tunity to secure some of its shares at fifty
per cent, of their par value, or $5.00 per
chare. The money you pay for these shares
will be used in erecting complete and suit
able reduction mills, and the officers of the
company teel sure that at the same
time thar. you are furnishing the
funds to put the property upon a paying
basis; you will be planting your own feet
upon one of these “short roads to wealth”
which have enabled every rich man in this
country to reach his pr* sent position.
The stock is fully jai l up and non-assess-
able; the total amount of stock is $l(X),0J0,
and $50,000 of this amount is devoted to the
uses of the treasury of the company.
The company has reserved the right to
advance the price-ot its shares without for
mal notice, and the demand for stock is such
that an advance is now iu contemplation,
but is not as yet ordered.
The Southern Banking and Trust Co., of
Atlanta, Ga., one of the strongest financial
institutions in the South, acts as transter
agents lor the company, and to it all orders
for stock should be aduressed, accompanied
either with New York exchange or post-
office money order for the number of ihares
ordered at $5 each.
There are now 143,000 nautical miles
of cable under the different oceans,
which require thirty-seven specially
equipped telegraphic ships to keep them
in order.

BENJAMIN HARRISON.
The following is in substance President
Harrison’s lett?r accepting the Republican
nomination for the office of President of the
United States:
“Washington, D. C., Sept. 3, 1692.
“Hon. William McKinley, Jr., and Others—
Committee, Etc.
“Gentlemen—I now avail mvself of the
first period of relief from public duties to
re pond to the notification which you
brought to me on June 29, of my nomination
for the office of President of the United
States by the Republican National Conven
tion, recently held at Minneapolis. I accept
the nomination, and am grateful for the ap
proval expressed by the convention of the
acts of the administration.
“The great work of the Fifty-first Con
gress has been subjected to the revision of a
Democratic House of Representatives, and
the acts of the Executive Department to its
scrutiny an 1 investigation. There has sel
dom been a time, I think, when a change
from the declared policies of the Republican
to the declared policies of the Democratic
to the
Party involved such serious results
business interests of the country.”
Here Mr. Harrison writes at length on the
currency question. He continues:
“Few subjects have elicited more dis
cussion or excited more general interest
than that of a recovery by the United
States of its appropriate share of the
ocean-carrying trade. This subject touches
not only our pockets, out our National
pride. The great ships—the fastest upon
the sea—which are now in peace profiting by
our trade, are, in a secondary sense, war
ships of their respective Governments.
“It was plain to every intelligent Ameri
can that if the United States would have
such lines, a similar policy must be entered
upon. The Fifty-first Congress enacted such
a law; and, under its beneficent influence,
sixteen American steamships, of an aggre
gate tonnage of 57,400 tons, and costing
$7,400,009 have been built, or contracted to
be buiit, in American shipyards.
“In addition to this it is now practically
certain that we shall soon have under the
American flag one of the finest steamship
lines sailing out of New York for any
European port. This contract will result in
the construction in American yards of four
new passenger steamships of 10,000 tons
each, costing about $8,000,000, and will add
to our Naval Reserve six steamships, the
fastest upon the sea.
“The Democratic Party has found no
place in its platform for any reference to
this subject, and has shown its hostility to
the general policy by refusing to expend an
appropriation made during the last admin
istration for ocean mail contracts with
American lines.
On the subject of reciprocity President
Harrison writes:
“Another related measure, as furnishing
an increased ocean traffic for our ships, and
ot great and permanent benefit to the far
mers and manufacturers as well, is the re
ciprocity policy declared by Section 3 of the
Tariff act of 1890 ar' 1 now in practical opera
tion with five of the Nations of Central and
South America, San Domingo the Spanish
and British West India Islands, and with
Germany and Austria, under special trade
arrangements with each.
“The removal of the duty on sugar and
the continuance of coffee and tea upon the
free list, while giving great rebef to our
own people by cueapening articles used in
creasingly in* every household, was also of
such enormous advantage to the countries
exporting these articles as to suggest that
in consibacation thereof reciprocal favors
should be shown.in their tariffs to articles
exported by us to their markets.
“Great credit is due to Mr. Blaine for the
rigor with which he pressed this view upon
the country. We have only begun to realize
the benefit of these trade arrangements. Toe
work of creating new agencies and of adapt
ing our goods to new markets has necessarily
taken time, but the results already attained
are such, I am sure, as to establish in
popular favor the policy of reciprocal traie,
based upon the free importation of such
articles as do not injuriously compete with
the products of our owu tarms, mines ol
factories, in exchange for the free or favored
introduction of our products into other
countries.
“The~Obv!cus efficacy of this policy in in
creasing the foreign trad© of the United
States at once attracted the alarmed atten
tion of European trade journals and boards
of trade. The British Board of Trade has
presented to that Government a memorial
asking for the appointment of a commission
to consider the best means of counteracting
what is called ‘the commercial crusade of
the United States.’
“The Democratic platform promises a re
peal of the tariff law containing this pro
vision, and denounces as a ‘snam reciprocity’
that section of the law under which these
trade arrangements have been made. If no
other issue were involved in the campaign
this alone would give it momentous import
ance.
“The declaration of the platform in
favor of ‘The American Doctrine of
Protection’ meets my most hearty ap
proval. The convention did not adopt a
schedule, but a principle that is to control
all tariff schedules. There may be differ
ences of opinion among protectionists as to
the rate upon particular articles necessary
to effect an equalization between wagei
abroad and at home.
“Once or twice iu our history the produc
tion of tin plate had been attempted, and
the prices obtained by the Welsh makers
would have enabled our makers to produce
it at a profit. But the Welsh makers at
once cut prices to a point that drove the
American beginners out of the business;
and. when this was accomplished, again
made their own prices.
“But in spite of the doubts raised by the
elections of 1690 and ef the machinations of
foreign producers to maintain their mono
poly, the tin plate industry has been estab
lished in the United States, and the allianea
between the Welsh producers and the Demo
cratic Patty for its destruction will not suc
ceed.
“This tariff law has given emploment
to many thousands of American men
and women, and will each year jrive em
ployment to increasing thousands. Its
repeal would throw thousands out of
employment and give work to others
only at reduced wages. I regret that all
employers of labor are not just and con
siderate and that capital sometimes takes
too large a share of the profits. But I do
not see that these evils will be ameliorated
bv a tariff police, the first necessary effect
»f which is a severe wage cut, and the second
a large diminution of the aggregate amount
work ro be done in this country.
“No inte’lsgent advocate of a protec
tive tariff claims that it is a v ile, of
itself, to maintain a uniform rate of
wage-, without regard to fluctuations in
the supply of and demand for the
products of labor. But it is confidently
claimed that protective duties strongly tend
to hold up wages, and are the only barrier
against a reduction to the European scale.*'
In regard to the Federal Election bill Mr.
Harrison says: In my last annual message
to <!oagress I said:
We must yet entertain the hono that it is
|Arssiore xaj a c:un. oaLC.onc consiaer-
ation of such Constitutional or statutory
changes as may be necessary to secure vhe
choice of the officers of the Government to
the people by fair apportionment'- and
free elections. I believe it would
be possible to constitute a com
mission, non-partisan iiK its mem;
■s lip and composed of pa trio •>, wise and
irtial men, to wmm a consideration of
QU3stions of the evils connected with om
ttion systems and methods raizht be com
mitted with a good prosp?ct of securing
unaaimity in some plan for removing or
mit/gatiog those evils.
The Constitution would permit the seleo
tiocj of the commission to be vested in the
Supreme Court if that method would give
thej best guaranty of impartiality. This com-
I mission should be charged with the duty of
inquiring into the whole subject ef the law
of elect ions as related to the choice of officers
of the National Government, with a view
tjo securing to every elector a free and un
molested exercise of the suffrage and as near
J-'an approach to an equality of va’ue in each
ballot cast as is attainable. * * * The
demand that the limitations of suffrage
shall be found in the law, and only there,
is a just demand, and no just man should re
sent or resist it.
It seems to me that an appeal to our peo
ple to consider the question of readjusting
our legislation upon absolutely fair nonpar
tisan lines mignt find some effective re
sponse. Many times I have had occasion to
say that laws and election methods designed
to give unfair advantages to the party mak
ing them would some time be used to per
petuate in power a faction of a party against
the will of a majority of the people.
Of this we seem to have an illustration in
the recent State election in Alabama. There
was no Republican ticket in the field. The
contest was between white Democrats. The
Kolb party say they were refused the repre
sentation guaranteed by law noon the elec
tion boards, and that when the courts b-
mandamus attempted to right this wrong, an
appeal that cou’.d not bs heard until after
election made the writs ineffectual. Ballot
boxes were thrown out for alleged irregu
larities or destroyed, and it is asserted on
behalf ot one-half, at least, of the white
voters of Alabama that the officers to whom
certificates have been given were not
honestly elected.
There is no security for the personal or po
litical rights of any man in a community
where any other man is deprived of his per
sonal or political rights. The power of the
States over the question of the qualification
of electors is ample to protect them against
the dangers of an ignorant or depraved suf
frage, and the demand that every man found
to be qualified under the law shall be made
secure in the rights to cast a free ballot ana
to have tdat ballot honestly countea cannot
be abated.
Our old Republican battle-cry, “A fr«e
ballot and a fair count,” comes back to
us not only from Alabama but from other
States, and from men who. differing
with us widely in opinions, have
come to see that parties and polit
ical debate are but a mocsery if,
when the debate is ended, the judgment of
honest majorities is to be reversed by ballot-
box frauds and tally-sheet manipulations in
l the interest of the party or party faction in
power.
These new political movements in the
States and the recent decisions of some ot
the State courts against unfair apportion
ment laws, encourage the hope that the
arbitrary an 1 partisan election laws and
practices which have prevailed may be cor
rected by the States, the laws made equal
and non-partisan, and the elections free and
honest.
The Republican Party would rejoice at
such a solution, as a healthy and patriotic
local sentiment is the best assurance of free
and honest elections.
I shall again urge upon Congress that
provision be made for the appointment of a
.non-partisan commission to consider the
subject of apportionments and elections, in
their relation to the choice of Federal offi
cers.
In conclusion the President remarks: “It
is not possible tor me to refer, even in the
briefest way, to manv of the topics presented
in the resolutions adopted by the convention.
Upon all that havo not been discussed I have
before publicly expressed my views. ^
“A change in the personnel of a National
administration is of comparatively little
moment. If those exercising public func
tions are able, honest, diligent and faithful,
others possessing all these qualities
may be found to take their olaces.
But the changes in the laws and
in admiaistiative policies are of great
moment. When public affair^ have been
given a direction and business has adjusted
itself to those lines, any sudden change in
volves a stoppage and new business adjust
ments. If the change of direction is so rad
ical as to bring the commercial turn-table
into use the business changes involved are
not readjustments, but reconstructions.
“fhe Democratic Party offers a pro
gramme of demolition. The protective
policy—to which all business, even that of
the importer, is now adjusted—the reciproc
ity policy, the new merchant marine, are all
to be demolished, not gradually, not taken
down, but blown up. To this programme of
destruction it has added one constructive
feature, the reestablishment of State banks
of issue.
“Tne policy of the Republican Party is,
on the other hand, distinctively a policy of
safe progression and development—of new
factories, new markets and new ships. It
will subject business to no perilous changes,
but offers attractive opportunities for expan
sion upon familiar lines. Very respecially
yours, Benjamin Harrison.”

troubling cattle in the vicinity of Hartford,
Conn., does not eat into the horns of the
animals, as has just been reported, but that
it lays its eggs around them. The fly is a
blood sucker, and worries the animals so
that they cannot feed.
The insect comes from Europe. It first
made its appearance in this country near
Philadelphia in 1887, and is believed to have
been imported with the large shioments of
European cattle in 1886. From Philadelphia

Colonel Volkun Reports to the

The United Stat War Department has
received a long a interesting report by
Colonel W. J. Voinan, of the Adjutant-
General’s Depar ent, on the National
Gunrd of Pennsyltiia. The report dwells
at some Ismrtn onhe mobilization of the
militia at Homestd ami speaks highly of
the efficiency and iscipline of the State
troop:-.
After criticisipghe equipment of tbe
troops and the iiination of some of the
militiamen to we starched linen and

colonel commends 3 activity displayed in
calling out the troc and says:
The system for tifying men is unique
and very interests. A captain in a
Western regimentexplainei to me his
method, which, if 1 uniform throughout
the entire Guard, iiuostantially followed
by many officers. The company was
divided into squads, ch under charge of a
sergeant, corporals a privates of squads
being grouped, as fas practicable, accord
ing to residence or pfe of employment.
In one regiment tte was a company con
sisting entirely of cl miners; when the
captain actually reeed his orders, Mon
day morning his n were miles under
ground, among sbaftnd galleries of mines,
yet the orders were mmunicated to the
men, who dropped tr mining tools, as
cended to the surfaced were soon in their
places in the ranks.
The colonel gives c,it for the discipline
in the Guard to Govior Patterson. Col
onel Volkman has tl to say of the lams
case:
When the Guard ived at Homestead
the inhabitants prepd an adroit plan,
well calculated to hce the troops to
affiliate with the poj»c.-*. With quiet,
soldierly dignity the (imanding General
frigidly decline 1 to ertain such over
tures, and be instantly ;ame the target for
abuse.
Matters reached a cax one day when
the hand ot the assasswas raised: for a
moment no one could 1 who would fall
beneath the next shot 1 great excitement
prevailed. In Hom-ad the provost
guard speedily dispersecrowds clustering
about posted telecrap bulletins, while
enlisted men disposed gather in groups
were ordered at ones to?ir tents.
In defiance of this 01-. one man pro
posed cue-rs for the ass.n and was dealt
with surnmar.iy if not i xact accordance
with forms oi law. Th* are times when

and although the one touch I al ude has

Life in Twelve Hours.
A wonderful piece of mechanism,
consisting of a watch dial of unique
construction has been finished and put
on exhibition by one of the deft-fin
gered artists belonging to one of the
large watch factories at Waltham,
Mass.
ft contains, instead of the usual
numerals, twelve small but distinct
silhouette figures, beginning with a
woman with a very small child in her
arms. At 1 o’clock the little mother
and her miniature baby are clearly
depicted, the infant being in ‘dong
clothes.” At 2 o’clock the same fig
ure appears, but the child has peretp-
tiblv grown. At 3 o'clock the little
mother is still tho same, but the baby
is in “short clothes.” At 4 the child
again appears, and so on up to 8
o’clock, when he goes to school for
the first time.
At 9 he is seen in college gown,
standing beside the now elderly
mother. At 10 o’clock the death bed
is brought to view, the young man
taking leave of his loved parent. A$
11 o’clock he is aged with the snows
of many winters. At 12 he makes
his final appearance, an old and de
crepit specimen of humanity, praying
for the end.
During the next 12 hours the same
scenes are again enacted. The little
machine is a wonder all around.

Disappearance of the Little Toe.
Physicians have at last decided that
the small toe of the human foot must
go, and that civilization tends gradu
ally to crowd it out of existence, and
to depend more than ever for locomo
tion upon the great toe. After a cer
tain period of life it has been ascer
tained about nine-tenths of the little
toes have the two end joints anchy-
losed. Even in childhood it is a poor^
deformed appendage which does not
seem to be of any earthly use to the
owner. It may be pretty in the
babies, but when the child begins to
wuIk around the big toe grows out of
all proportion to the little toe. That the
big toe is all that is needed for good
walking and running is easily proved.
The strength of the fast runners and
football players is gradualfl* increased
along the line of the great toe, and
many of them wear shoes that are so
narrow that the little toe could be of
no earthly use. The feet of civilized
humans are thus gradually changing
under the pressure of the modern
shoe, and if the little toe is destined
to go, the so-called tight shoes will |
not prove such a great disadvantage 1
afier all. They lessen the strength of
the little toe, but thev increase it !
along the line of the big toe, which j
seems to be all that is necessary.— 1

Search Llgltts Versus Torpedo Boats.
It is stated that one of the most ef
fective means of protecting a ship in
these days of torpedoes, the grouping
together of a number of stationary
search lights, each illuminating its
own section so that the ship is sur
rounded by an unbroken circle of
light is to be adopted in the new
American war.-hips. This has been
suggested by a very pronounced de
fect in the usual search light practice.
In order to afford sufficient time for a
careful^ examination of the water’s
surface at points removed from the
ship, the beam of light must be re
volved very slowly, and hence during
a great portion of the time any par
ticular section of the water is left in
darkness. As it takes only five min
utes for a torpedo boat to rnu a dis
tance of two miles, it will be seen
that the conditions are all iu favor o..
the attacking force. Before the revo
lution of the search light is completed
there is plenty of lime for the torpedo
boat to run in and discharge her dead
ly weapons.— [New York CommerciJ}
