class of women staying at the Oriental
hotel during the months of tho war
excitement, a Miss Thompson, who
was tho correspondent of a syndicate
of American newspapers. She was a
woman of ability. She did her work
well and won the respect and esteem of
everyone who knew her; she wuh uni-
versally liked, except by tho officers'
wives, who could not condescend to
know her. They made their attitude
pronounced; they drew tho social line,
on whose safe Inside they congrat-
ulated themselves upon being. Ad-
miral Dewey undoubtedly has a sense
of humor as well as many other things
that go to make up a capable offlcer
and charming man. He evidently
smiled, perhaps In an amused way at
first, then a little grimly and Iron-
ically, when It came to his ears that
the wives of his subordinates had en-
tered Into a crushing social ring to
ostracize and persecute the newspaper
woman. Miss Thopmson had an unex-
pected visitor one day. Admiral Dewey
sent up his card. He paid a long call.
He and MIbs Thompson found much
that was Interesting to talk about. In
the enjoyment of their talk they were
apparently oblivious that the rest of
the Oriental hotel had gone mad. The
world had quite came to an end In the
teapot district, with Its self-righteous
ideas of the fitness of things. The ad-
miral had called on a worklngwoman!
They were made to appear in the
wrong. Perhaps it is better to draw
a veil over the subsequent walling and
gnashing of teeth, the tears and rage
of the would-be leaders of Manila so-
ciety. But Dewey was characteris-
tically relentless. He rubbed In the
lesson he had given. He asked Miss
Thompson if he might lunch with her
the next day, and again the whole
Oriental hotel knew it and was aflame.
The woman who had been humiliated
by the pettiness of petty people was
honored by a great man. And no one
can doubt that behind the iron com-
mander, with the eye of an eagle, the
brain ot lightning and the will of steel,
there exists the very tender heart of
a gentleman of the old school.

Amelia visits no one but us. She is

able, in the miner's eyes, than the
richest of golden bonanzas.
A vein of copper ore, averaging over
■even feet In width, has enabled its
lucky finder to sail for a visit to his
home at Cumberland, England, with
$80,000 in the bank to his credit, with
which to administer comfort to an
aged father and mother, whom he had
not seen before in fourteen years.
During the early part of October the
first carload of ore shipped to Chicago
brought a check of $664 above all
transportation charges. This first ship-
ment averaged 33.18 per cent copper,
but no return was made by the smelter
for either gold or Bllver. The last
carload shipped to the Argo sme ter
ran over 36 per cent copper and 1.9b
In gold, and one ounce of Bilver to the
ton. For this carload a check for $1,435
waa received.
The story of Ed Haggerty and the
discovery of the Rudefeha mine Is
plain but alluring. Haggerty began
prospecting, as he says, because he had
never been able to Bave a cent working
for wages. The first prospecting was
at Sandstone, about fifteen miles from
Grand Encampment, Wyo., but It was
not until the spring of 1897 that he
first saw the "prospect" that has since
made him a fortune and a reputation
as a miner. On this Journey Haggerty
was accompanied by several copper
miners from Douglas mountain in Col-
orado. The party camped a few days
at Battle lake, near the top of the con-
tinental divide. One of these men told
Haggerty that he was looking for red,
spongy iron ore at the surface, as he
considered it to bo a much surer in-
dication of copper than the green cop-
per stains for which most prospectors
looked. 1fla.
On the morning of June 20, 1897,
Haggerty left the camp and headed for
a big quartzlte dike some three or four
miles away, plainly visible at that dis-
tance on account of Its immense size.
but although it was in the latter part
of June, Haggerty was unable to reach
this dike, as the snow had not yet left
that side of the mountain.
On July 25 he finally reached the
White quartzlte dike, for which a
month before he had wallowed In valn^
He discovered that tons of ore hud
rolled down the mountain side, and
that the quality of the ore answered
the description of the Douglas moun-
tain copper miner. On closer exam-
ination of the ore he found a few
pieces of the hard sulphide ore stained
green in places with copper. Haggerty
at once set up a location stake, erected
a monument, and thus took possession,
by law, of a twenty-acre tract of min-
ing land, which he christened in his
location notice as the "Rudefeha Lode
Mining Claim," the name being com-
posed of the two first letters of the
name of each of the partners—Rum-
sey, Deal, Ferris and Haggerty.
Haggerty was now convinced that he
had at least a copper prospect worth
working, and he arpealed to his part-
ners to work the claim during the win-
ter Ferris and Deal were both will-
ing, but Kumsey was afraid the ground
was not worth the spending of more
money, and the work was accordingly
delayed, and Rumsey's one-fourth In- i ^ bill8 ln her fgt pocket book,
terest was afterward purchased for
$1,000 by Ferris. Haggerty then hired
out to a man north of Rawlins. Wyo.,
as a sheep herder in order that he
might make his expenses until spring
opened up. Not until the latter part
of June was he able to find a barren
place large enough on which to pitch
a tent when he made location on four
claims adjoining the Rudefeha, and
proceeded to trace the vein far up the
hill, findir.g It about five feet in width
at the bottom. He next began to sink
a shaft *o as to catch thp vein on Its
dip, and at * depth of thirty teet he

sailed into a dry goods store one day
bought a skein of embroidered silk.and
remarked airily: "You may send that

night,my spirit left my body. I shall
never forget my strange experience.
I have no recollection of leaving the
tenement of clay, nor of returning to
it. All I know Is that, seemingly poised
in air, I looked down and saw my body
there. It filled me with a certain feel-
ing of disgust. I said to myself: Is
it possible I live in such a thing as
that?' While floating in the air, buoyed
up by an unknown power I met, walk-
ed and talked to the young woman,
Amelia, who has been our constant
companion for so many years since.
She appeared as a mortal, and
clothed apparently in a
black robe. She said it was
her spirtual gown, and was not
really black, but appeared so only to
me. This was not a dream, as has
been abundantly proven since, but
when I regained human consciousness
1 was back in my body and in my own
room. 1 could hardly believe it at first,
and had to identify my familiar sur-
roundings before being convinced. I
confess I was disappointed to find my-
self back. "Following is the history
of Amelia and her family, as communi-
cated to us by her. I have never soul-it
to verify her story, but am satisfied of
its truth: 'My name is Amelia Bauer; 1
was born in Boston, Jan. 10, 1871. I
have blue eyes, long black hair, and
not very tall-five feel four inches-
of medium build. I passed into spirit
life when five years old. Croup, some
«ay spasms, caused my death. My fa-
ther's name was Barnes Bauer; he was
a carpenter, and was killed by a fall
from a ladder. My mother s name was
Lucy, a bad cold caused her death.
My dog's name was Victor. All of us
are now in spirit land. Mother and
I once visited the old home, but no
one ln the house knew we were there.
And after looking around all we
wanted to. we returned to spirit land,
which father and mother have never
since left. Every morning." con-
tinued Mr. Babcock. "Amelia comes

uninitiated, certain it is that Mr. Bab-
cock believes in Amelia almost im-
plicitly, and that his wife shares this
belief. To them Amelia is a living, if
tangible, presence. Their affection for
her is touching. Having no children
of their own, Amelia is at once child,
guide and companion, and the sever-
ance of the ties which bind the trio
together would be keenly felt as the
death of the dearest relative.
standing there now. The Chinese cof-
fin is made of very thick wood, shaped
to resemble a tree-trunk, and in this
instance it has been wrapped round
with straw.
Another extraordinary and terrible
phase of Chinese social life. As most
people know, the birth of a glrl-chlld
into a Chinese home is not a welcome
event. She is a "go-away child"—that
Is to say, when married, she leaves her
home and goes to her husband's,
whereas a son brings home his wife
with him. When a Chinese father is
reckoning up the number of his house-
hold he counts only his sons. The
birth of a girl means simply another
mouth to fill, and for this sordid con-
sideration baby-girls are often not al-
lowed to live. When they are not ac-
tually made away with, they are
posed of by indirect means. We see a
basket fastened to the wall of the city
of Chaocha-foo; some thirty miles up
river from the treaty port of Swatow,
This basket is for the reception of
newly-born girls who have not found a
welcome in their own homes—a verit-
able "letter-box," where baby-girls |re
"posted!" The father may possibly be
troubled with some slight scruples
about actually killing the infant, so he
places it in this strange receptacle,
whence any one wishing to adopt a fe-
male child is at liberty to remove it
and do what he likes with it. It is
awful practices like this that make the
Christian missionaries sometimes de?
spair.
CROCODILES IN INDIA.
The extent to which the rivers and
creeks in India abound with alligators
and crocodiles is scarcely credible. In
some of the streams they may be seen
in rows along the slimy banks, from
the baby of three feet to the monster
of sixteen feet; whilst others, basking
in the hot sun. are extended at full
length, head downward, with Jaws wide
open, showing a disgusting red throa'
and formidable teeth, ready at the
least alarm to slip Into the water. The
havoc caused by crocodiles, especially
among cattle, is considerable. They
travel long distances from the river
bank during the night in search of
prey. A swing of their powerful tail
will knock a cow off her legs, breaking
them in the act. aM thus the reptiles

sponsor for that state at the annual

Charleston, S. C., on May 10 and 11.
Miss Nina W. Randolph is a daughter
of Norman V. Randolph, a typical
southern fighter, whose daring and en-
thusiasm led him to Join Mosby s
rangers, and to serve under the com-
mand of that general throughout his
picturesque campaign. He is now the
president of Lee camp, the confederate
soldiers' home in Richmond.
Mrs. Randolph is a daughter of that
brilliant lawyer, William B. Reed, who
espoused the cause of Jefferson Davis
when the leader of the lost cause was
a prisoner at Fortress Monroe. With
such a father and a mother it is not
strange that the young girl who is
thus honored by her state is both
