it no more and no less ;
t
By thorough and rapid
assimilation with the blood ,
it reaches every part of the

The Lenten Plunge From Fes

Religious Ohnnges of a Gonora-

Cornell ,
NEW YOBK , February 12 The ad-
ont of Ash Wednesday and the open-
ng of the forty days' fast of Lent
moan something nowadays for society ,
\a \ well as for the markets and the ca-
orors to the amnaomont loving public.
L generation ago it was a day to which
ttlo attention waa paid. In the
olghboiing atato of Connecticut Pur-
an projudlco still instated upon plac-
ng the annual fast day in Easter
rook , until a protest by Epis-
opalians and Catholics ahamcd
10 state authorities into setting
in day for Good Friday. Hero it was
n ecclesiastical formality , except
mong Catholics , the Episcopalians
ontontlng themselves with a service
E morning prayer twice a week. But
10 rapid increase of Catholic congro-
atlonn and the growth of Eplacopal
bnrohos have changed this order of
lings. It has been helped , too , by
10 steady advance of the Episcopal
hutxSh in ritualism , an advance which
as made itself felt in 'all quarters by
ttraotlng to that fold many of the
onng people of other denominations ,
t would have occasioned an ooclnsias-
leal revolution thirty years ago had
"Vlnlty ( church 'then' ' instituted the
ally iCommunion service at 7 o'clock
a the morning , which la now an-
ounccd by the rector for Lent. These
rl services are quite numerously at-
ended and by very devout congrega-
Ions ; The practice of voluntary con *
esalon Is much in vogue , also , In this
ikrUh , and Is not dfaoouragod by the
lorgy , though they are wise enough
not to agitate it in print. It obtains
Iso among many of the clergy , r who
Hsort ancient custom and the author-
Ly of the prayer book for it , and who
ooomtnond it privately to the com
municants , especially in Lent. Of
onrse , the older sinners do not look
1th favor upon the idea ; but in the
MO of the younger members there ia
ttlo trouble in making the confea-
lonal the prelude to confirmation and
ommunlon. The nltra-rltualistio
hnrches of St. Mary the Virgin , St.
ilban and St. Ignatius have always
made confession a part of their
pen teaching , and people have
bus become in a measure accustomed
o the Idea , and it has coaaed to pro-
eke any very energetic protests. It
s the fashlonablo ypnng women who
re most accessible to thoBO teachings ,
nd not a few aocioty young men rig-
ironily renounce "tho world , the
lesh atid the devil" in the confessional
luring the Lent , and find it pleasant
o assist the ypnng women in their
orty days of devotion by escorting
hem to week-day services and carry-
ng their prayer books for them with
lovout demeanor. For society bos
low put on the black veil , and no ono
mt the man of shoddy will think of
opening his house for festivities
until after Easter. The price
of fish has gone up , eggs are

JAY'S JAUNT.
Gould's Explanation of His Pro-
Trip Aronni the
World ,
How and Where He Will
Travel.
NEW YORK , February 14. Mr. Jay
} onld will start on his tour around the
world the middle of the coming sum
mer , and will remain away two years ,
le was seated In his office at No. 71
Broadway this afternoon when information
mation waa sought as to the details of
its coming trip. Ho received his caller
ileasautly , and , when asked about his
ilana , ho replied somewhat thought-
nlly : "This Is such an uncertain
world thnt It is rather difficult to make
alculatlons in advance. "
"Havo yon decided upon any defi
nite tlmo for your departure ? "
"If my yacht ia finished In Juno I
hall probably leave within a month
afterward. My Intention is to i spend
next winter in the Mediterranean. "
"Aro there any places of particular
ntorest to yon , Mr. Gould ? "
"Yes , many. I wpnt to see the
ftodllorranean , Italy , Greece , Egypt ,
.ndla , and all the countries of ancient
civilization. "
"Havo yon any ether places in
lew in pnrllcnltr ? '
"Yes , China and Japan. I think I
shall to to Australia too. I have been
through England and Scotland. "
SEEING THE ELEPHANTS.
Mr. Gould said his second winter
will be spent in India. "You seem
to take a deep interest in antiquities ,
Mr. Gould ? "
"I do so ; a great interest. " There
was a merry twinkle In Mr. Gould's
oyoas ho added : "I expect to see a
great many countries where the pee > >
> ! o are not persecuted \tV , ' ' < t '
nd telegraph lines , and are supremely
nappy. "
"liy what methods shall yon travel
nlandJ"
"When I am in the lands of the
ancients , " continues Mr. Gould , oorl-
oualy , "I shall do as the ancients did.
' shall use dromedaries and elephants'
n their native countries. I expect to
ravel through India wilh a big pair
) f olophanto. "
"What will bo Iho size and speed of
'our ' yaoht ? "
'Tho lun lh will bo 230 foot , and
ho speed from sixteen to eighteen
cnols uu hour. I1 do not know what
t will cost. It is like furnishing a
louse. You never know what the ox-
ionao will bo. The yacht will take
ibont twenty besides the craw. Whom
ho company will include has not
eon determined. My entire family
will RO. "
"What effect do you suppose your
oavlng will have on the market ? A
panic and all sorts of things are pre
dicted. "
EFFECTS ON TUB MARKET.
"Not the slightest effect , " replied
Ir , Gould quickly. "I have not
> eon an active operator in stocks fore
o years. I am interested in certain
corporations and am content with
thoso. "
"Shall you take any active Interest
n the market or buelnosa affairs while
on your trip ? "
"I do not propose to think of busi
ness while I am way. I ha\o put
things in snug shape so 'that they
will run along smoothly until my re
turn. "
"Is it lll-hoalth. Mr. Gould , that
Induces you to go away ? "
"Oh , no ; iny health Is good. "
"Have you miy Idea of retiring per
manently from Wall street ? "
"I am going to try a little play. 1
did not have an opportunity when I
was yonutr , and I must do my playing
Inter In life. If I like It I m y keep it
up. I am llko the Bsotohtnau who
oamo to this country. Ho was naked
where ho was going , and ho said to
Vermont. Tha inquiry was made as
to what ho was going to do there , and
ho replied : 'I am golf g to make maple
sugar this oprlng , and if I find it pro
fitable I am going to follow It up the
yo r round. ' I have always been talk
ing about retiring from active businets
life , but I have never been able to
do It. "
"Mi. Gould , what Impolledyon ? to
make a trip around the world ] "
"Simply the doslro for a play-spell
which I have long boon thinking of , "
"And the reason you are to have a
craft of your own , I suppose , Is be
cause you think that will bo thn pleas-
autost way of making the tour ? "
"Woll , with my own yaoht I can go
whither I please and as I please. For
instance , if I want to stop at Cyprus
ti dig for antiquities , I can stay there
a year if ( t takes that length of time to
unearth something. "
"Wonder has been expressed th

Mr. Willlftm H. VandcrbUt , "
"Every ono has his 'special bales.
Mr. Vanderbllt has cultivated a love
'or fait horses because they give him

ly the best of anything In the world.

ant things in thla world. I receive a
great many klcka and cuds , bnt they
make the sweets the sweeter. "
"You are about to take a trip to

"Yes ; bnt I am called as a witness

STOCK RUMORS.
"What abont the story , Mr. Gould ,
that you propose getting ont of West
ern Union ? "
"My Investment in Western Union
simply aa an Investment. I never
lad an important voice in Its control.
Sx-Gov. E. D. Morgan , Augustus
3choll , Dr Norvln Green , and Harri-
ion Darkee have long been the con-
rolling spirits of Western Union. I

"There Is another story that yon

"I nm a director of the Union Pa-
Pacific , I have a moderate interest in
t whloh I do not expoot to part with.
The gentlemen who are managing
Jnlon Pacific Messrs. Dillon , Ames ,

practical businets men wo have , and I
can suggest no Improvement. "
"How do you regard the ] market ? "
"The outlook Is good so far as the
lualncaa of the country ia concerned
The exports are larger than the Im
ports , and the balance of trade is run-
_ largely in our favor , and likely to
increase during the coming summer.
The changes in the tariff and t hot IT ct

Interests are unsettling. Toe action ot
iho State legislature adds something

The country will go on and keep grow
ing. "
"Do yon fear disaster ? "
A OOOD OUTLOOK.
"No , I do not. The country is too
rich. I do not think there will be
enough securities made in the next
twelve months to supply the regular
homo demand. There are now less of
the dividend-paying stocks In Wall
street than I have ever known before.
The securities are held for investment.
The government has been calling in its
bond ) , and that money has gone into
dividend-paying stocks and bonds. "
"How do yon look upon American
purftlos ? "
"Ir regard then ) aa the best wo
have. "
"And American railroads ? "
"Tho American railroads are equal
; o the best roads in Earope , both in
espcot to equipment and superstruc
ture , and are built at less cpst. "
"Do you think there ia an oxceau
of railroads ? "
"I think a percentage of the now
oada are useless. Competing psral-
ol roads are a waste of capital. The
majority of the reads , however , are
pretty well situated and will pay. "
X.O&T IN SNOW.
An Omaha Boy'a Experience in the
Rookies.
Mr. Dennis Doe , ono of the best
cuowu citizens of Douglas county ,
IBS received u letter from his son ,
dike Dee , a young man who for a
roar or more past has been out weat ,
engaged in mining at Elko , Nevada.

an experience which will last him a
ifo time , and which came near coating
him hla life.
Ho had been , with several others ,
at work in a mine some distance away
From their cabin , and started homo
about the time the storm began.
When within a few hundred yards
of the cabin they lost their way In the
blinding snow , and wandered about
for throe daya before they reached
shelter of any kind. During that
time they probably traveled over
about 27 miles of ground , without
food and suffering terribly from the
cold.
cold.When they again reached a habita
tion , it was found that all wore more
or less crippled tor llfo , some losing
limb- ] , others fingers and toes , and so

three of his toes amputated.
Upon receipt of the letter Mr , Don-
uia Doe at once uont hla sou some

THE MINE DISASTER.
BRAIDWOOD , February 17. It is
now thought soronty-four miners were
buried in the mlno yesterday. All
hope of a possible rescue of any of
these unhappy beings by the opening
of the driveway from the older ahaft
into the worklngi waa abandoned
at dusk , when the water poured Into
the last named shaft. The ahaft and
workmen were compelled to abandon
their last desperate attempt at the sal-
vatlon of their fellows. The escape of
the majority of the people was almost
by a miracle. The country around
the mines is almost dead level prairie ,
and the reoent , rains have covered the
whole country with water. Hundreds
of acres of land are covered by the
mlno workings , many of which have
been worked out and abandoned. It
waa through the break of the aban
doned workings that the flood poured
in to-day.

This waa the moat terrible tragedy
; hat ever visited the Wilmington coal
ields. It waa in the No. 2 shaft of
; he Wilmington Goal , Mining and
Manufacturing company , known as
; he Diamond company. It was situ
ated tbreo and a half miles north
west of this city. Tno little village
of Dinmods is a scene of desolation
alcatated to wring the heart of oven
the moat hardened.
THE SCENE AROUND TUB MINES.
Yetterday afternoon a rumor was
spread among the population of the
mining village that the ground had
caved in over the main roadway In
ho Diamond shaft No. 2 , and that
; ho water that had stood in the largo
pond on the surface of the prairie
was rushing into the pasaagea of the
nine , cutting in the mine and
drowning them in the passage.
Upon the spreading rf the rumor
largo crowds of minors' wives with
children in arms , rushed toward the
acono of the cataatrophe trying to hear
of their huabanda and brothers and
ions who were employed in the mines.
When the crowd reached the main
entrance of the mluo they found
everything in a state of confusion.
Around the shaft were crowds of men
and women rendering any assistance
that was possible , to the half drowned
men who appeared at the ontranoo of
the shaft.
To the north conld bo Boon a crowd
of men collected around an air shaft ,
who were likewise fishing oat the
almost perishing men who had
climbed to the top , and would have
aunk back exhausted upon the ground
had It not been for the assistance of
willl' g handa.
The women wrung their hands a3 ,
one by one , they anxiously viewed
each now face that appeared above
the ground , but found not their father
or aon who waa missing , and for whom
aomo fell down upon their knees and
offered up heartrending and piteous
prayers.
