OLD TEXAS GOLD MINE FOUND. Discovery of Groot KIHim Midi fto I'voldo Count?' San Antonio, Special. An old Spanish mine has been rediscovered in Uvalde county and the assays made of the ore show that it is of fabulous The mine is situated twenty-fou- r miles north of Sabinal in the southern edge of the I.tano mineral district. It is on land owned by Albert Mtiverlck, wealthy business man of San Mr. Maverick stated that he discovered the shaft of the old mine about twenty-liv- e years ago, but he took no interest in the discovery, for the reason that he had no faith in that region as a mineral country. About a year ago V. IL Blocker, a prominent attorney of Hondo City, Tex., learned of the existence of the oM shafts and he secured a lease on the property fiom Mr. Maverick, and began the work of opening up the mine. The shaft was filled with debris and several months were spent in clearing it out. In the bottom of the shaft a number of old Mexican mining implements were found. At a depth of about thirty-fiv- e feet the ore vein was struck and samples were sent to assayers and the returns gave fl,500 sliver and a trace of gold to the ton. A large piece of ore in which gold was visible to the eye was found' in the cld shaft. This was assayed and showed f 15,000 gold to the ton. It was evident that the latter sample had been thrown into the old shaft and this led Mr. Blocker to make a search for the gold vein. He found this vein crossing the shaft Just above the silver vein. An old irlft followed the gold vein for some distance. The secret of the rediscovery and richness of the mine was carefully guarded and did not leak out until today. An aged Mexican priest, now living at Santa Rosa, Mexico, wac the padre stationed at the mine tvhen it was being worked by the Spaniards. Mr. Blocker visited this priest and learned from him that the mine was dosed and abandoned in 1836 by order of General Santa Ana immediately after the battle of San Jacinto. Mr. Blocker has a large force of miners at work and the first car load shipment of ore to the smelter will be made in a few days. ricn-nes- s. Au-tonl- IRON DISSOLVED BY o. How my beautiful sister would have wondered could she have known that this same new arrival was the hero of my dreams. I will tell you how he came to perform so important a part in them. We at home home always made it a practice to celebrate the birthdays with a fete. Five years ago, when it lacked but two weeks of my sisters eighteenth birthday, my mother died. We mourned her loss deeply; but Kate, for her oaths sake, given In the shape of enameled invitation cards, would not give up her usual party. I pleaded, "please dont Oh, Kate, have it! "You dont know what you are saying, child. I can not change my plans after the Invitations are issutfd, and father thinks it Is best And so it ended.

Miss Scott is only 22 years of age and enjoys the distinction of being the first woman who has ever been permitted to preach in the Presbyterian churches of the Quaker city. She is a remarkably magnetic talker, and holds her audience with ease, while the religious influence she apparently exeits over the crowd is remarkable, as is evidenced by the large numbers of converts at all her meetings. When Miss Scott was asked the other day to furnish particulars regarding her career, and to tell why shfl became an evangelist, she said: 1 was born In the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland, in 1876. My grand father on my father's side was a farmer in the north of Scotland, and he was recognised throughout the country as being one of the most Godly men of his time. My mother comes from one e, of the oldest country families in Scotland, and from her I have the blood of the old Scottish covenanters in my veins. I was converted at a very early age and after finishing my education, I. with my parents,-camto America four years ago. Being brought up in the Presbyterian church from childhood, we united with the ,11st Wigh-tonshlr- e L llethesda Presbyterian church of Philadelphia. A number of the ladies of the church, seeing my strong desire to become an evangelist, became very much Interested in me, and they sent me to Col. H. II. Hadley, in New York city. I remained in uls great mission on East d street for some time, and after Bpending an enjoyable time with him in his great work, I came back to Philadelphia, God helping me to come out as an evangelist in the Presby terian church. As the church never had been open to women before, I knew the battle would be a hard one. I went and saw a number of ministers, and they did not seem very willing to let me in, but I held on, and one bright day Dr. Wilbur Chapman of Bethany mission (Mr. John Wanamakers) sent for me to come and address an enormous meeting. 1 went, and the Sunday school building was packed. That was my beginning. The first man in Philadelphia to open his pulpit to me was Dr. Andrew Jackson Sullivan, of Trinity Presbyterian church, and I held a week's meetings with him laBt January and on my last Sunday the church was packed to overflowing, and many souls were brought from darkness into light from his church. 1 have since been in other Presbyterian churches in Philadelphia, and have always been favorably received.

No, I guess I had rather stay at home and have a quiet day of it What a little old maid you are! Well, you needn't go unless you want to!" and she was off. I watched them drive away.

From the Philadelphia Record: Some Interesting experiments and researches into the ability of water to exercise a destructive Influence on iron pipe, which have been recently made in Europe, have yielded results not generally expected. It has been ascertained that waters containing a little lime, but an appreciable quantity of dissolved carbonic acid, were observed to exercise a solvent action on the iron, and the A course of the action was traced. known quantity of iron filings was placed in each of three vessels, which were respectively filled with ordinary river water, and the same water after carbonic acid had passed through it for a few minutes, and after the addition of sufficient lime to Just neutralize tho carbonic acid. The vessels were sealed by mercury from contact by the air, and, after the lapse of a certain time, the iron dissolved in each case was determined. In the first case the water had dissolved about per cent, in the second per cent, while in the third only traces of iron could be discerned. The water in the second case was clear, but on standing exposed to the air ferric oxide separated. It was, therefore. Inferred that water containing carbonic acid and very little lime dissolved lion as ferrous carbonate. The latter is then decomposed by the oxygen of the air and ferric acid Is deposited and carbonic acid formed. The latter can again attack the iron, and thus water containing little carbonic acid may have a powerful action upon iron pipes.

APRIL 30, 1898. VOL. V. There are numerous cases on record where men suffering from some form of paralysis have' been charged with drunkenness, and have suffered in consequence most severely in mind, if not in body. It is far from being an uncommon circumstance for a man to receive in some street row, or, as the result of some practical Joke, an injury to the head or spine, not serious enough, perhaps, at the moment to disable him, but certainly dangerous if not attended to at once. He may leave the vicinity where he received the hurt, may possibly walk for miles, go into a restaurant and take something to strengthen the nerves; then go out and gradually sink into a state of unconsciousness and be found in a doorway or lying in the road, bearing every indication of intoxication. The breath may smell of the stimulant he has taken, he is stupid and helpless, and at once the unpracticed eye stamps him as drunk and incapable. Locked up by himself, he speedily becomes feverish and seriously ill, and dies without assistance. This is no highly colored picture cases occur over and over again, and we regret to say that It appears to be the common practice of the ordinary policeman to arrest and take to the station house any person who Is acting strangely or stupidly in the street, or who exhibits signs that are generally accepted as indicating the use of intoxicants. The proper place for these unfortunate persons Is not the police station, but the hospital. An Inspiration, Whats the use of making resolutions?
