Two famous |tersniHges now before
the public furnish subjects for sketches
in the April Number of (iodey's Maga
zine. One of these is (Jt-orge Francis
Train, the "most eccentric man in the
world," whom Gilson Willets has inter
viewed in his favorite oorner in Madison
Square, New York City. The citizen
talks in his characteristic strain and
with his usual sallies of wit and sarcasm,
and the reader is left, as the author
says, to judge for himself to what extent
the oitieen's ecoentricity has developed.
'1 he other public character is Chimtnie
Fadden whose home is on the Bowery
and whose friends are everywhere. Mr.
E. W. Townsend has dramatized Chim
mie, and Beaumont Fletcher gives a
Ifood idea of the play* in a profusely
illustrated article.

fates io its oounty convention and a dis
ipatob from that eity says that Bon
HomsMk Htttehinaoo* Clay, Union, Han
son and Lincoln counties will all oppose
free silver delegates to St. Louis. Pierre,
Hand, Kingsbury, Brown, Ciark and the
grater portion of the northern part of
the state are for McKinley, so that on
the whole it looks as if the state convbn
tion must nec^nsarilly goMcKmiey.
Secretary Manley of the republicafl
national-committee figures out that up
to date 174 delegates have been elected
to the natioual convention and of this
number McKinley has 57 Reed, 3G
Allison, Cullom, 19 rton, 5 Quay,
2G, and there are 31 that
are contested. In these figures
Mr. -Manley evidently forgot to
place the Iowa delegation of twenty-six
elected Wednesday, as the district con
ventions were all held at the time of
the state convention. The Allison men
claim that tbeir candidate has Bix dele
gates in Texas, four in Louisiana, and
four in Georgia, to make a total of forty
already eleoted.
Mining Review: Not including the
Alaskn Trend well mills, Lead, South
Dakota, holds the honor of having with
in {.he city limits the largest quartz mill
ou the Western Hemisphere, if not in
the worl l. The Star mill is now drop
ping 'J00 stamps with a crushing capacity
bf 800 tons per day 24,000 tons per:
month, or 288,000 tons for the year,
With such an enormous consumption of
ore the question may well be askrd, what
will become of the mountains around
that city in the course of fifty years?
We might say, with truth, that they wil
probably be in the Red Creek.

for Coatlnoinc ontrnet
WASHINGTON, March 18.—It is ex
pected that the river ami harbor bill
will be reported to he house within a
few days. The lirst est mate of the

appropriate more than $10,000,000, but
will put a large number of projects
under the continuing contract sys
tem. The contract for the Mississippi
river improvement is about to ex
pire and it is quite likely to
be renewed, as is that for the Missouri
river, where tho work is not yet com
pleted. In addition to this, it is prob
able a number of other projects will bo
added to the bill, and contracts author
ized, even if but for a small amount
for beginning the work, is carried in
the bill which is now being prepared.
Among those who will no doubt be in
cluded in the measure are contracts fo.
the improvement of Boston harbor un
der tho plan proposed by the engineers
the improvement of Duiuth (Minn.)
harbor,
vto
make it available for yessels
drawing 20 feet of water, at a cost of
about $ {,r0(),000. Those are only a
few of the most important provisions,
which are to be put under the contin
uous contract system, with provision
for expend tures yearly as the sums
may be needed.
