ITEMS OF INTEREST FOB CHRISTIANS Protestant ministers, not thinking it re quired of them by any lav, either human or divine, to live a life of celibacy, take to themselves wives, thinking they will be of great comfort to them in their homes, or rather in making a home. But there are churches that seem to forget a minister's wife has any household cares to occupy her time and attention. She is expected to lead in all the work of the Aid Society, to pre side at all missionary meetings, to teach in the Sabbath school, to visit all the sick, to go to comfort and help the distressed, to take charge of all the ladies' prayer meet ings, to superintend all suppers, teas, so cials, bataars, etc; in short, she is expected to be all tbincs to all women, that by any means she may help some. But why should she be asked to do all this? She is a member of the church; so are other ladies. "It might be means of power in the pastor's work if his part ner n ere possessed of all graces," so that she nnght be his assistant, without salary; but hare the churches any right to ask bo much from her? At a time when some ministers are intro ducing new wives to congregations and so many others are beginning work in new fields it will be well for both parties if they will, in this respect.becin aright. Marion Harland, who knows well how these things are by personal experience, having Deen a minister's wife for many years (she being the wife of Rev. E. P. Terhnne. D. D.. Brooklyn, N. Y.), wrote an ar ticle for the Sorth American Menew worthy attentive perusal by all In the churches. In it she well says: "There is no propriety in expecting the woman who has espoused a clergvnian to have, ex officio, special fitness for all departments of charitable and religious labor. Common sense rules sne may suit nim excellently well as a wife, yet be endowed with no peculiar gifts for 'leading meetings' and taking chairs.' fie cannot, after the manner of other public men, bold in the knowledge that their houses are their castles, cast himself betn een her and her censors with the protest, A poor thine, but mine own.' I have known men thus 'hindered' to drag the shrinking weaklings into the fore front of the battle, prick them into action be yond their strength by frantic appeals to ex pediency, custom, pride, love, piety, until the victims of a false system, wounded and wearied to their death, fell unaer the harness so much too heavy for them. The minister's wife is. In too many parishes, virtually included in the engagement which hires him, body and souL The unwritten contract is unfair, cruel and iniquitous. What a private church member of equal ability can do, she is bound to undertake, and nothing more. What she may or may not accomplish should affect her husband's influ ence in the same fielil no more than if he were a lay communicant in the church to which she belongs. I need uo father or mother In Israel to warn me I am touching upon delicate and dangerous ground. There are exceptional par ishes where the love and loyalty rendered the pastor envelope his home and the dwellers therein in an atmosphere of affectionate appre ciation, which is at once sweet and wholesome, invigoration and balm. Labor with such a peo ple is continual joy, and companionship with those who compose it enriches with fuller meaning the phrase The household of faith.'

A Climate in Which None Die Except Those With Boots On. WASHING FOBGOLD 0HLI TO GET WAGES ICOHEESPONDINCX OP THE DISPATCH.! N Camp Shakespeare. ) : Ghaut County, N. II., October 13. j . Though the real general development of this Territory's mineral resources com menced only a few years ago, Pittsburg capital is already largely invested therein. It was not until geological and mineralog ical surveys had been made and reported by the General Government, and the coming of railroads and convenient transportation had become an assured fact, that this live development commenced. Sufficient has thus been demonstrated to clearly establish beyond doubt that New Mexico is one of the richest and most permanent in mineral resources of all the States and Territories: that there are within its borders many mines entitled to rank among the most le markable and richest in yield in the known world. Generally theresourcesoftheTerritory con sist largely of not only its mines of precious metals, but likewise of copper, lead, man ganese and iron, beside mica, salt, coal, gypsum, soda, lime, kaolin, cement, sulphur, plumbago, mineral paints, marble and build ing stones. Precious stones, such as tur quoise, garnet, moss agate and emerald are also found. both bich akd attractive. Grant county at present, as for many years, is recognized as the principal mineral producing portion of New Mexico, and is situated in the extreme southwestern portion of the Territory. It is very large, and is beautifully diversified by elevated grassy plateaus, mountain ranges and peaks, and fertile valleys. The first discovery of gold in the county was in 1859, near Pinos Altos, about nine miles north of the present site of Silver City, the countv seat, and for several years thereafter from 1,000 to 2,000 men were actively engaged in gulch mining in this place. The placers are represented to have been very rich and of considerable extent. Washing is still carried on, upon a small scale, by persons without much capital, who, when not prevented by scarcity of water, make good wages at the work. One of the greatest districts oi the terri tory, in its quantity and quality of ores, is about 25 miles southwest ot the Burro Mountains, near the line (two and a half miles distant), of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and in the Pyramid range of mountains. The mineral bearing area Js about 20x8 miles in extent, and is most promising. The Atwood, or Standard Mutual Com pany, mines, owned by parties in New York, Pittsburg and Oil City, will soon be operating their own smelting mill and all works appertaining to the business, and have them in active operation. This com pany has also very rich claims adjoining the Atwood mine, on which assessment work is being done. THINGS MODERN APPEAR. The "free for all chance" in the race of modern energy, enterprise and prosperity the coming of steam transportation in its mighty, irresistible, onward course has here been peaceably met face to face, so that medieval conservatism and the crooked stick plows and industrial methods of the Ptolemies are things of the past. The climate here is very equable and ad mits of working the year round, the amount of ozone in the Rocky Mountain regions, especially in this latitude, is much greater than in the Central and seaboard States. Ozone will not tolerate imparities, hence the extreme wholesomeness of the atmos phere. In illustration raw meats are cut up and dried, preserved and stored for future use, without the usual preserving process. In spite of the absence of any system of sewerage in centers of population, as Santa Fe, Sorocco and Silver City, be yond natural drainage and the cleansing coming from copious showers, there is an extreme healthfulness among the people. This fact has given rise to the saying pro verbial among the native population that, "It is a country where none die except with their boots on, and of the octogenarian, that he "dries up and is blown away." A. A. HULttTGS. THE SCHENLEY PARK. The Amount of Preparatory Red Tape Nec essary Prospective Consolation for Men Wanting a Job. The Schenley Park project is not dead, but resting until the proper time comes for re-awakening official and public interest in the matter. Before any practical steps can be taken to beautify that portion of the city considerable civic legislation is required. Controller Morrow, when asked what the nature of such legislation would be replied that first an enabling ordinance was needed to empower the city to receive any gift of ground Mrs. Schenley may make, as in the case of Sneider Square in the Twelfth ward, given by the Denneys in 1872. The park mnst be accented and dedicated to that pur pose subject to the conditions in the deed of gilt. Then an ordinance will nave to be passed authorizing the purchase of any addi tional ground which may be necessary to complete or enlarge the gift to such an ex tent as to make it appropriate for the pur pose intended, and the appropriation bill will have to provide the money for park purposes. Another feature' of the preparations and one most interesting to people out ot a job at the time is the necessity of a Park Super intendent and assistants and probably park police. The superintendent's position will be similar to that occupied by William Hamilton, of the' Allegheny Parks. The Controller here said that no undue hopes should be excited or resignations take place in the hopes of securing one of those posi tions as it will be three or four years before there will be any necessity for their exis tence, during which time the tract of ground will be in the bands of the Department of Public Works. HE WOULDN'T BE GDYED. ASonlhaldo Urchin Receives a Canine In Return for Ills Fan. George H. Dorris was walking down South Twenty-fourth street yesterday when some boys began jeering at his somewhat outlandish get up. Dorris had on an old battered hat, and the young gamins were very solicitous about the antecedents of the headgear in question; calling out "where did you get that tile," to the intense dis gust of Mr. Dorris. Finally Dorris rushed at the urchins, and caught one of them, a little fellow named Edward Casey, whom he kicked and beat brutally with his cane. Having obtained his revenge he sauntered off. Meanwhile Casey's mother, who lives near, arrived and ran to find a policeman. Officer Gannon was at hand, and immedi ately started in pursuit of Dorris but 'could not find him. Mrs. Casey says that Dorris is boarding on Twenty-first street, and has a grudge against her husband. She says he was formerly a stenographer in Pittburg, but fell into habits of drunkenness, and has since lived by his wits. A Colored Land Company.

He Is busily at work upon the estimates of the naval establishment for the year 1890, which he hopes to send to the Treasury Department in a few days. At Chicago Joseph Paul, a 16-year-old boy was caught between, an immense flywheel and the belting in a machine shop and hurled around and around until his neck was broken and death put an end to bis sufferings. Lieutenant Scbrader, in command of the Vesuvius, presented bis report of the result ot the recent trial ot the vessel to Secretary Tracy yesterday. There was nothing in it different from the full accounts ot the trial published at the time it was made. The steamer River Ettrick, from Blnefield, Nicaragua, arrived at Boston yesterday morn ing, having on board the crew of the dismasted schooner Kate Foster, before reported towed into Vineyard Haven abandoned. The captain of the Kate Foster was drowned.

Manchester admitted to a friend that several persons had been badly hurt, and it was feared three or four would die. The coffin containing the remains of Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose grave at Concord, Mass., was disturbed Saturday last, has been placed in a securely bound box, which has in turn been deposited in a grave composed of blocks of granite cemented together and securely fastened with a granite covering. The generally accepted theory is that the act of vandalism was committed to create a sensation. A railroad accident happened at 2 o'clock yesterday morning in the suburbs of New Brunswick, N. J., in which two persons Engi neer George Garrabrand and Fireman Frank Anderson were badly bnrt and one engine was wrecked. An eastbound freight train ran into the rear of another train composed of five cars loaded with merchandise. A caboose and two freieht cars were burned. A drover who was riding in the burned caboose claims to have lost $3,000, which was in his satchel. Dr. Richard H. McDonald, the venerable millionaire who made his fortune out of vinegar bitters, and who now runs the Pacific Bank in intervals of his prohibition work, has brought suit at San Francisco against Senator Leland Stanford for $1,200,000, which he claims Stan ford owes him for 25 certificates of the original issue ot Central Pacific stock made 25 years ago. This is the stock which Stanford pur chased from Mrs. Clara Belle McDonald, the complainant's wife, who, it is alleged, stole it about two years ago. A pretty younc woman was arrested at Cllqnot, Minn , Wednesday night, while tend ing bar in a saloon dressed as a man. She ap peared in that town Saturday and at once ap- lied for work at the saloon of a man named Smith and was promptly encaged as barkeeper. Suspicion was aroused by her woman's voice, which she could not disguise. She was not surprised at beinz arrested, and took matters coolly. Her antecedents and name are not known. She says she assumed the disguise to escape from a lover who is a horsethief. She isstiliinjaiL Jay Gould has signed contracts with the city of Ft.

This is practically a consolidation of the Gould Kansas system at this point, and is considered one of Gould's strategic moves on the railroad checker board. Everything he wished was conceded here, and in return he will build an elegant depot, locate shops, etc. Rev. Dr. Thomas F.
