Groeneveld's sermon at the Presbyterian church in thie city on laet Sunday evening, in which the crime of prize-fighting was severely handled, is a beginning of a move in the right direc- j co-operation of every clergyman and of | every good citizen in thie commmilty. I Mr. Grœneveld's sermon was practical in 0 every particular, and because of its prac-1 Usability and the absence of stereotyped scriptural phrases it had the ring that | j caught and enchained the public ear. to Every consideration and every interest that deserves a place in the public I thought demands the suppression of crime and rice in this community. That a town like this should be suddenly transformed from a pocket edition of [ heU to a snbnrb of the new Jerusalem is in not to be expected, bnt that a united ef fort upon the part of men I and women, who — *- 1 beUeve in the | right and who recognize and " ~~ ■—----- who four the dangers to them, their prosperity and their homes which the present demoralization of onr social con ditions present, can accomplish much is as certain as that the presence of rice is due to the efforts of those who traffic in it. The history of every great reform demonstrates that it was bom in the throes of agitation, and an agitation not on the part of thoee who make re form necessary, but on the part of those vllA /inmnn/i 1A TKa maamIa aA 4L 2 — .11_ who demand it.

Aiicy laiueu 01,240 tons oi ore and milted 35,711 tons at an average Silver Mine Owners and silver. Mining and Scientific Press: TheGranite Mountain mine of Montana, a famous silver mine, disbursed in dividends to stock holders the last fiscal year the sum of $1,900,000. They mined 37,248 tone of I •»uu minou ou, IXA luuB ab tui average cost for mi , Hng of f 10.61 per ton. Of the I I n vnrage coot of treating a ton of ore, $2.73 goes lor ealt, 61-00 for fuel and 74 Tor quicksilver. They used 5,123 tons of salt It will be seen tliat the mine ie a pretty big one, nud that it is paying well I but it ought to pay better. To show the j interest silver mine owners I ave in the free coinage of silver, the case of this single mine may be cited: * Up to the close ot the last fiscal year the company bad paid tif y-five dividends »mounting to $6,700,000. Sii ct then I fnilf* m Al n gross sum of $i 0.938, 80Ö. Under the fr« to ^ebrua.ry four moic have been paid, indu ling t!.. one on the ninth of November, making $7,600.000, or $19 per snare. Tools were first sent to the mine Oct. 8,1880. Expen ditures of all kinds up to July 31, 1889, were $4,052,512. This includes the cost and working of the property and all kiuds of expense. During the period the mine produced 10,989,859 ounces pure silver aijd 6,521% ounces pure gold, realizing the gross sum of $10,938,800. Under the free coinage law in operation prior to February Uß 73 ,' this product would have netted the Uai oI *^,335 135.showing that the company has lost $3,334,835, or 30 per V/Liuiptiny dub 108 L #0.004,000. or OÜ nei cent, of its gross income, because of the in ability to get silver coined on the same terms as the gold. Had there been free sil ver coinage during this interval, instead of $6,700,000 in dividends, stockholders would have received over $10,000,000. And yet thb "gold bugs" cannot see why the Western owners should make such a fuss over the silver question. It as Concentrates.

MEANEST MAN IN NEW YORK. Who Unique Story About a Person Syndicated Himself. Richard Frothington, handsome, clever! young and reckless, was "on his uppers." This, ia his opinion, was not his fault, but was due to the cold injustice of a cruel world. It is true, he realized that he was indolent by nature and extravagant by habit, that he had neglected certain golden opportunities and had been careless where he should have been attentive; but in bis present mood he did not dwell upon these unpleasant facte, but shook his fist at the throng of humanity beneath his window and denounced society, civilization law order and everything which in the most puÄlÄs * t0 reWard 6ffort a " d Then he lighted a cigar, sat down upon tb f. edge of 1,18 to** and counted the change win* h remained from his "ahanlutai-D r 8 well" dollar.

Then with a Cro T ded 8 « ™et " Soil! S. «JSCS« Coneolld.tloo Monopoly," he soliloquized. dren 4 i, Ä A . that ia dais the key-note to success. C<>nlroi some* thing that everybody wants—put up the price—and there you are. What can I get hold off I own nothing but myself—hardly in tbe list of available assets. Nobody wants me. There is no demand for me. I can't sell myself to an English syndicate. "I can't even pawn myself. But, hold! Don't these capitalists work in a narrow groove? They monopolize only those things for which there is a great demand. Why would it not be practicable to corner something that nobody wants? For in stance, the world has no use for me. Why not make the world pay for my absence? By Jove, I'll syndicate myeelf! Talk about Napoleons of Finance! Ye Gods, I'll be Alexander, Cæzar and Sergeant Gilbooly all combined! Whoop! Where'a my pen? Here's paper! Good! Now for it!" Thereupon he wrote the following: "We, the undersigned, knowing Richard Frothington, prononnee him the meanest man in New York city. Hehas taken from tbe bands of hungry babes, robbed blind beggars and treated bis friends to domes tic cig trs. Even in as large a place as the metropolis bis presence is considered a public calamity. Beware of him!" Carefully brushing bis hat and overcoat, seizing his cane and casting an amused glance at bims^lf in a email mirror, Frothington left the room, locked tbe door after him, dodged his landlady in the hail and was soon in the street. He looked like a young man of wealth and leisure as he stiolled along, a smile on bis well-cut fate and an air of self-satisfaction in his jaunty step. He entered a famous uptown bank, after a short Btrol), whose president he bad known in happier days. "Will you kindly sign that, Mr. C-?" asked FrothiDgton, stepping boldly into the preeid< nt's room and thrusting his pa per before tbe busy capitalist. Tbe presi dent looked up, recognized Frothington, glanced over tbe paper without seeming to grasp its significance, scrawled his name be neath the legend: "Beware of him," an swered the young man's "good morning" with a bow and was at oi.ee hard at work again. Frothington sm'led more gavly than be fore as he returned to the street. He real ized that a most important step bad cost him bnt little effort. Going at once to the lobby of the R-hotel he sent up his card to a celebrated politician. A few moments later his paper bore a name of national reputation. The politician had not even looked at tbe screed, having read tbe name of tbe bank president at the first glance. Frothington's task was now an easy one. Before business hours were ovtrhis docu ment bore twenty seven signatures, each one of them a name known to ail men from Maine to Texas. Nobody had read his scroll in such a way as to gather its full meaning. He had been questioned now and then, but his stuffing countenance bad reassured ail doubters, and the first name on his paper was a magnet not to be re sisted. And now a horrible thought entered his miDd as he turned homeward. Had he enough Btamps to complete his design? F> r the first time since he set out the 6onfidei>t smile left his face, and his features grew set and stern as he quickened his pace. Rushing to his room, he nervously un locked his door, threw open his desk and found—0, joy!—fifty two-cent stamps and a pile of writing-paper and envelopes. Seating himself as though for a long effort, he drafted the following letter: Mr. Mayor: Will you kindly inform your advisers that I,Richard Frothington, pronounced by Messrs.—here he inserted his list of names—to be the meanest man in New York city, intend to take up my abode in your town at once unless I re ceive by the next mail the sum of $50. I iuclose tbe full text of my credentials. 1 am n blight to any community. Positively no reduction for cash. He worked away for hours writing , let ters, addressing envelopes and cudgeling his brains for tne names of growing towns in the West and South. Finally his task was completed to hia satisfaction. He mailed his letters, pawned his cane and sleeve-buttons and ate a hearty dinner. When his cigar was smoked out he'returned to his room, sat in meditation for a while, and then, weary with the sustained effort of the day, went to bed and was soon sound asleep. oi of of asleep. How he existed for the next few days it is hard to tell. "I lived on my uncle," he would have said him self, and it is a fact that even his overcoat fell a sacrifice to his vulgar craving for food—and cigars. He told his landlady that he expected a remittance from the West, and from the way in which he w'nvtched the postman she was inclined to believe h m. A week went by and he be san to lear tnat ms syndicate was a failure. "Collapse in the Richard Frothington Trust," he imagined as a headline in the newspapers, and a wan smile overspread his pale face at the thought. One day, as he had just arisen and was wondering where he could obtain credit for a breakfast, a rap came to his door and a servant handed him three letters. One was from a town in Alabama, another from aD ambitious t iwn in Nebraska and tbe third from Bigtown, Mont. His heart beat rap idly and his hands trembled as he opened the epistJe from tbe South. It was very short. "Mr. Frothington: Sir—Y our commu nication received. Go to the devil. By older of the Common Council." "Whew," exclaimed Frothington. "Is this southern courtesy? But I'll have mv revenge. I'll obey the order of the com mon council." Then he opened the letter from Nebraska. It was not quite so barah as the preceding: Dear Sir: Thanks for your favor of the —th. Cannot entertain your proposition, as our funds are completely exhausted by our effort to obtain the World's Fair of 1892. Might make you a feature of the show, if we get it. Keep us informed of your future movements. This was not so bad, but could not be turned into cash. Heartsick, Frothington onened the com munication from Bigtown, Mont. To his delight and astonishment—for he had lost faith in his scheme—a check for $50 fell in to his hand. The letter read: Mr. Frothington. Dear Sir: As our town now hoids the meanest man in the West we feel that your presence would be ruinous. Please send us at once a sworn affidavit to tbeeffect that you will never visit Bigtown. Frothington jumped about the room in ecsta y. He had sent out forty-five let ters. If he obtained $50 apiece from one-third of them he would have $750 et his command, enough to last him until again inspired. That afternoon, however, his delight was somewhat dashed by the receipt of two letters threatening him with pros*cution for blackmail. But with them was an other epistle containing a $50 check so he cast dull care away and spent the evening at the theatre. * Ten letters reached him in the morniug. Only three of them contained money. One onT » n ,n . South Dakota sent him $25. "Ot< 8a,< l the mayor, "because we recog nality°" r claim, but as a reward for origi Jt the Jt ^ a8npt "»til two days later that he was handed the communication which de cided his fate.

Forty Thousand Victims to the Infla eiua in St. Petersburg. Washington, Dec. 24,-George W. Wart« in charge of the affairs of the United States legation at St. Petersburg, has gent the state department an account of the preva lence of influenza in Russia, with interest ing comments. Hestates that about the middle ot No vember public attention was called to a 1-irge number of persons falling ill wit h much the same symptoms of fever-severe pains in the head, back and limbs. For the lack of a better name, he states, the malady has been called influenza, but it shows signs of a typhoid character, thoueh not of a malignant nature, and up to the date of the writing, Dec. 5, no fatal cases are reported. The illness in most cases is very light, and last but a few days, seldom longer than two weeks. It leaves, however, all the persons who have been touched by it, in debility and a great depression of spirits. In fact, the after ef fects are rathfer more unpleasant than the complaint itself. The cause of the epidemic has not been satisfactorily explained. Most persons as cribe it to the abnormal warm weather ofthe past month, but that would not account for its appearance in Siberia, where it buret out in several places, the weather there having been cold as usual this season. Now, that the winter seems to bave fairly set in here, it is expected that the malady will disappear, but meanwhile nearly every one is affected. There is no exaggeration in printing the number of sick at fully tw thirds ot the population of St. Petersburg. Not a house has c scaped its visitations. The emperor was very ill with it for several days and scarcely a metnberof the imperial family has been free from it. More than 40,000 cases have been medically authenti cated, but these reprei-ent a small portion of the sufferers. The Epidemic Increasing. Paris, Dec. 24. —The epidemic reigns and rages. A conference of lawyers, which was convened yesterday, did nothing because the majority of the speakers were ill. Reports from Berlin are to the effect that there is no abatement there. In Bruns wick it assumed a malignant type aud there have been many deaths. At Frank fort it is increasing and the tramways have ceased operations because the ein ployeeare all ill. At Antwerp the disease is increasing, but it is diminishing among both the garrison and people at Amster dam. It has appeared at Dardrecht among the soldiers and sailors and in the factories, it is very serious in the barracks at Brussels, and the half-carbineers of the corps-des-guides are ill. At Vienna. Vienna, Dec. 24. — The frequent sequel to cases of influenza here is an attack of in flamation of the lungs. There are many persons in the hospital who have be«n suffering from influenza and stricken with inflamm ition ofthelungs, and several have died. Influenza has made its appearance in a Jesuit school at Kalksdurm, the pupils of which are children of conserv ative aristocrats. Sixty-eight scholars were attacked. HAVING A LOVE FEAST.
