A Building Hoom It's s Great Mining District. Park City, July 23. Special contractors and build-ers report liflv houses erected this year up" to ate In Park City. There were 150 houses built last year. This is a good showing for our little mining camp. Park City people do not think they are exaggerating when they say the city is the best, and most solid min-ing camp on the Pacilic coast. They think with all the great mining experts that have ever visited our mines that ourmineral resources are inexhaustible. There are no mines on our coast today that can show up the same returns in the same space of time as the Ontario and Daly. There are other properties here that would mako equally as good returns if they had tho capital to work them. There is no mining region that offers as good inducements for investments as Park City and yet we see capitalists investing their money in other places that would not rate fourth with this inviting territory of everlasting minerals.

All hall eke dawn of a new day breaking, When a strong armed notion shall take away The weaiy burdens from backs that ore aching With labor and minimum pay; .When no man Is honored who boards his mHIioni, When no man feast on another's tolL And God s poor suffering, striving billions Shall shore his riches of sun and soil. There is gold for all In the earth's broad bosom. There Is food for all in the land's great stars, Enough Is provided if rightly divided; Let each man take what he needs no more. Shame on the miser with unused riches, Who robs the toiler to swell his hoard, Who beam down the wage of the digger of ditches. And steals the bread from the poor man's board. Shame on the owner of mines whose cruel And selfish measures have brought him wealth, While the ragged wretches who dig his fuel Are robbed of comfort and hope and health. Shame on the ruler who rides in his carriage Bought with the labor of half paid men lien who are shut out of home and marriage And are herded like sheep in a hovel pen. Let the clarion voice of the nation wake blm To broader vision and fairer play, Or let the hand of a just law shake him Till his ID gained dollars shall roll away. Let no man dwell under a mountain of plunder, Let no man suffer with want and cold ; We want right living, not mere alms giving, We want Just dividing of labor and gold.

THE LliSKKAL MTANUARI) BEAKERS. The county convention of the Liber-als was a most enthusiastic affair. The proceedings were, as a rule, conducted with a great deal of dignity under the able chairmanship of Colonel Merritt. In every political convention there is of course more or less feeling aroused be-tween the candidates nnd their friends, and yesterday's convention was no ex-ception to the rule. Disappointment among defeated candidates is another inevitable result. But when the con-vention is over all bitterness soon sub-sides, the feeling arising from disap-pointment gradually disappears, and harmony prevails all along the lino. That is the rule among loyal partisans, and it will prove the case among the Liberals, than whom there is not a more loyal set of men on the face of tho earth. Every disappointed candidate and his friends can be depended upon to wheel into lino and make a gallant light for the Liberal cause. Tho ticket placed in nomination by the Liberals is undoubtedly a strong one. It is headed by one of the most popular and influential men in thin city. Prof. C. K. Allen, the nominee for county clerk. He was nom-inated by acclamation, amid the greatest enthusiusm. In accepting the honor he made a very sensible and elo-quent speech. No better man could have been selected to head the ticket. The principal event of the convention was the contest for the oflico of record-er, which, after u protracted struggle, was given to Col. Henry Page. This gentleman has resided in this commun-ity for eight years, during which period he has made a host of warm friends. Ho has always taken an active and prominent part in the affairs of the Liberal party, and has done a groat deal to advance the interests of the or-ganization. Col. Page was for a num-ber of years the clerk of tho Utah com-mission, and has been the chief registrar in this city for some time. Ho has a splendid military record. John P. Cahoon, tho nominee for se-lectman, represents the country. Ho has been a promniuent Liberal for many years, and his nomination to this important position Is a just recognition of his fat h ful services. Ho is in every way qualified for the place, and will make an excellent ollicial. W. J. Lynch was nominated, without opposition for county assessor. Ho is a gentleman in every way capable of discharging the duties of the oflico in a manner satisfactory to the people. Walter Murphy, nominee for coun-ty attorney, is a bright young law-yer. Ho organized tho young mens' Liberal club, and was elected its secretary. In thecanipuign of last winter he did as much effective work for tho Liberal cause as any other muii. and the samo is true iu regard to tho recent school campaign. Tho nomination of Mr. Barnes for sheriff was received witli genuine en-thusiasm, conclusively proving the pop-ularity of this favorite That he will make an excellent ollicial is conceded by everybody. Thomas Harris was nominated for coroner, Charles P. Brooks for surveyor, and J. K. Uulligher for treasurer-The-aro all well-know- men, and will do honor to tho parly and to them-selves. The ticket is well made up and is sure of victory. There is no mistake about that. The campaign from now until election day will be conducted in I he most spirited manner, and when tho votes aro counted it will be found that the Pcoplo's party has been snowed under. A Jiewsboys Game. The newsboys frequenting the City Hall park at night have invented a new sort of baseball game, which they play when the "sparrow" policemen are not about. They usually choose the long, brightly lighted wall in front of the city hall for the game, and nearly every night they attract a crowd of pe-destrians by their play. The difference between their game and the real gania is that instead of throwing and batting a ball they place it on the ground and the boy whoso "inning" it is rushes along and kicks the sphere as far as he can, after which he scampers to a base. The rest of the game is the same as base-ball, and the little fellows seem to enjoy it hugely. New York Star. Have Bug Handy. An extinguisher that did excellent service lately was a soft hat, with which quite a small boy, quick and ready, beat . out a fire. A girl's dress had caught firo from a dropped match, and this ready wltted boy, in possible good practice in beating out wasp nests with his hat, ex-tinguished the flames quickly, there be-ing no rug at hand. But there should always be a rug, a thick sofa blanket, a woolen table cover or a strip of rag car-pet at hand in summer, when lights are carried about in the hand or when a kerosene glass lamp may be tipped over and explode. Throw a thick woolen of any kind right over the lamp and the flame and it is instantly smothered. Do not take tho risk of carrying out a flaming lamp or oil stove. Smother the fire at onco with a blanket or bit of car-pet. Candles also may be carried quite dangerously near to mosquito nettings, or the flying heads of these treacherous matches "new Btyle" may sot fire to any net. Get that fire under a blanket as instantly as you can, tearing the net down if possible while you are muffling it in the blanket. Summer perils by fire are far greater to tho individual than winter ones on account of dress and sur-roundings. The winter risks from fire are to the property mainly or to sleeping people in the ordinary Philadelphia house, Philadelphia Ledger. ARRIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS.

The Duke of Edinburgh, besides being a clever violin player, is an enthumastio postage stamp collector. Edwin Booth, who has himself played the part of Hamlet thousands of times, has never yet seen it played by any one else. Cardinal Manning has always been an advocate of outdoor sports. To an in-dulgence in them he attributes his pres-ent health. Pasteur has treated during the past three years 7,893 persons bitten by mad dogs, and of this number only thirty-thre- e died. The pope recently administered first communion with his own hands to the son of Gen. de Charette, the well known French Legitimist. Mr. Gladstone, despite his vast wealth, is almost penurious in personal matters. He wears his clothes until they are threadbare, shiny and shabby. Alexander Dumas has given to the Cluny museum the sword of the Marquis of Pesbara, husband of Vittoria Colonna and hero of the battle of Pavia in. 1525.

A mass of 00,000,000 tons of pure, solid, compact rock salt, located on an island 185 feet high, which rises from a miserable sea marsh on the route from Brashoar to New Iberia, up the river Tcche in Louisiana, is one of the won-ders of the world. How this island, which contains over 300 acres of excel-lent land, ever came into existence in such a locality is a matter of conjecture. Vegetation is proline and the scenery is beautiful and varied. In the center of this island, wliich is the only solid spot in the vaut expanse of sen marsh for milos around, riHus Salt peak, the largest body of exposod rock salt in the world. Having never been surveyed, its exact extont is as yet unknown. However, En-gineer Brown, who has visited it, says that there is not less than 90,000,000 tons of pure crystal salt in sight. The dazzling clearness of Salt peak forms a striking contrast with somber lagoons, bayous and salt marshes which surround it on all sides. St. Louis Republic. Backless Cycling. There have been quite a number of erious accidents some attended by fatal consequences through people be-ing ridden over by cyclists. In ill of these cases the evidence goes to indicate excessive speed m the prime cause. There is a pace, especially when going down hill, which practically deprives the rider of all control over his machine. He can guide it, but that is all. As for pulling up quickly, as well might the engine driver of an express train attempt to do so. Nor even in the matter of guiding has the cyclist a free hand. Any large deviation from the straight line of his course would, if he were pelting along at the rate of eighteen or twenty miles an hour, inevitably cause an up-set. He has nothing for it, therefore, but to trust to luck and the chapter of accidents, which he does with a sang froid that would b9 truly admirable were it not so largely tinctured with recklessness. When he mounts to the brow of a steep hill and looks down at the decline stretching out before him he knows per-fectly well that if he once allows his steel steed to "take charge" there can be no attempt to pull up until the bottom is reached. Equally aware is he that by timely application of the brake and by "back pedaling" the machine can be kept at a moderate pace, admitting of guidance and of stopping. But because it is a pleasant rush down hill at the speed of a racer without any exertion he takes his feet off the pedals, sets his teeth tight and, to use his own expres-sion, "lets her slide." The result is that if any pedestrian chances to block his way being perhaps too deaf to hear the warning bell a fearful collision takes place, rnd one or the other is killed. Cyclists have yet to learn, apparently, that the responsibility of keeping clear of people on foot rests on the drivers of vehicles.

One of his children had produced a dinner table sensation by offering a grammatical correction of the language used by the head of the house to the effect that the phrase should not be "It is I," but should be "It is me." A chal-lenge of the accuracy of this view brought out the further statement that the educational authorities to which this child owed school room allegiance had determined that "It is him" and "It is her" were not permissible expres-sions, smacking of vulgarity, but that "It is me" had become established in this country by "usage," and was there-fore the correct form. I had an oppor-tunity to refer this matter to the pro-fessional educator of whom I spoke the other day, and I confess his reply was a staggerer: "Well, that case has received a great deal of discussion among us." Boston Post. Mks. Lksi.ie has announced her in-tention of going on the lecture plat-form. She will make a mistake. The proper placo for her is iu a dime mu-seum. Tub city council this evening should do something towards compelling pro-perty owners in tho business center to put down new sidewalks. That tho present walks are a disgrace to the city goes without saying. THKTOKKEV HANKKl'l'T BILL. The dispatches from Washington an-nounce that a vote on tho national bankruptcy bill will bo taken in the houso on Thursday. We take it that this is what is known as tho Torrey bill, which provides for voluntary aud in-voluntary bankruptcy. Under this bill a settlement in bankruptcy may be readily brought about by the debtor making an honest showing, and the creditors bciug satisliod that It is for their Interests to accept the settlement as offered. In explanation of the mea-sure, Mr. Jay L. Torrey, the author, says: A national law should be enforced by na-tional courts. We must have uniformity of We cau secure It only by hav-ing It administered by trial courts, from which then la a uniform appeal to a slurfe court of last resort. It therefore follows that the tri-bunal to euforce the banUruptcy law, or a court of original Jurisdiction, must be the United States district court. We have asshn- - Hated the proceedlnga In bankruptcy to other proceeding! of theae courts, ao as to create as little confusion an posHible. But two new offlcos have been created. They are thoaa of the referee, or assistant Judge, and the Itrustee, or the representative of the creditors. The compensations of the officers are reason-able, and aro paid upon such terms aa will make It to the Interest of every one of them to assist In expediting the bankruptcy business of the court. We think that the machinery of the bill Is the simplest that haa ever been devised, and la susceptible ot being ruu with a rapidity aud economy that Is not known and never haa bi eu known to legal proceedings. The Insolvent or dishonest person may be arraigned in involuntary proceedings upon fif-teen days' notice, and tried upon an allegation of having committed an act of bankruptcy. In voluntary cases the debtor will rile his peti-tion and turn over his property. After the de-fendant is declared a bankrupt, the creditors will meet, nomluate oue or throe trustees, and take such steps looking to the realization upon the estate as are dictated by the facta In the premises. The provisions of the bill aro adequate to re-quire every bankrupt to make a complete dis-closure of his affairs and a full surrender of hie assets for the benelit of those Interested. There are no barriers to prevent the most ad-vantageous method of reducing the estate to cash and distributing the same In dividends to the creditors. The criminal provisions of the bill are severe and are calculated to exercise an iutliiem e for good In the direction of preventing the com-mission of criminal acts. The prohibitions and punishments are directed to wrong dncrs Irrespective of whether they are oftlcers, bank-rupts, or other persons. CRISP CONDENSATIONS. A homing pigeon recently flew from Spartausburg, 8. C, to Baltimore, 420 miles, in fourteen hours. A well known London lady of rank has recently had a pair of ten button gloves made, in each button of which is a diamond. The pair cost $200. France's census of carrier pigeons shows that in time of war the govern-ment would have at its disposal upward of a quarter of a million of them. The opening of the British museum in the evening is much appreciated by the public. During the last two months the evening visitors numbered 16,077. Geologists assort that if the continents and the bottom of the ocean were graded down to a uniform level the whole world would be covered with water a mile deep. The servants in the imperial palaces at Borlin and Potsdam are so wretchedly paid that they have petitioned the grand marshal of the court for a considerable increase. The last prison stafetics of Prussia show that in the years 18SS-18-89 89,700 Prussian prisoners worked, all together, 11,000,000 days for wages of ten cents each per day. In New York typewriters and teleg-raphers have increased more rapidly during the last ten years than any other class of persons in proportion to their numbers in 1880. About 5,000 barrels per day of crude petroleum are consumed for fuel in Chi-cago. In the use of this oil for fuel about 500,000 tons of soft coal per an-num aro supposed to be displaced. The largest single dock in the world was opened on March 13, 1890, to the waters of Port Jackson, in Svdney harbor, New South Wales. It has taken in one steamer of 6,090 tons and had room to spare. The proportion of insane to sane per-sons in the United States is one in every 2G3; in Scotland it is one in every 574; in the agricultural districts of England it is one in every 820; in London the proportion is one in 400. A rather remarkable feature of a liter-ary society's picnic at Ringing Rocks, near Pottatown, Pa., was the rendition of "Home, Sweet Home," which music was extracted from rocks as they lay imbedded in the ground. Cricket is becoming a popular pastime among English women, who defand themselves from any charge of oddity by referring to women cricketers in En-glish literature and history.

It is probably seldom 'that an attorney who has passed fourscore years Btands to argue a case before the supreme court. This was the case when the Hon. William Heywood, of Lancaster, the oldest law-yer in New Hampshire in actual prac-tice, appeared in two Coos county cases. Though his voice was somewhat feeble, his arguments were clear and to the point. He has been a person of consider-able interest during the present law term. Concord IN. H.) Mouitor.
