He was graduated from Marietta (Ohio) Col­ lege, and soon afterward became a newspaper reporter. He saved his wealth, and in 1881 he bought the State Journal of Parkereburg, W. Va., at that time an obscure paper. Under Mr. White's management the paper grew in value and Importance, and soon became the leading republican journal in the state. In 1887 its editor was elected president of the National Editorial Association of the United States. His nomination for governor two years ago by the republicans waa unanimous. He had already served as collector # internal reveaae by ap- i -- governor white. polntment of President Harrison, and was rightly considered the stroag--I candidate in the ranks of his party. •rXl ,4, '?* * f'\ ^ Witt the MUta*e be TUctiftrtf "If a mistake has been made," says the New York Sun of Mr. Gage'a Rue- elan sugar decision, "then the mistake cannot be rectified too speedily or too frankly, and no pride of individual opinion should be suffered to stand in the way of such rectification."

From the number of letters received by the Christian Builders' union dur­ ing the last week from different parts of the country it is conceded tfcat the new religious labor organization has succeeded in obtaining a firm hold on a great many of the laboring class in smaller places. Each mail brings a number of applications for admittance to the new order, and the rapid man­ ner in which the newest innovation in labor unions has taken hold has caused the president, Henry P. Berck, to di­ rect all his energy to aiding the growth of the union. "From the numerous letters I have received and the manner in which the religious orders have taken hold of the Christian Builders' union 1 am certain that we shall eventually have as much influence with the contractors as the labor unions now enjoy. All our meetings are to be open to the publfc, and there is to be nothing on the se­ cret order about us.

Had Turchin remained in Russia he would have been some years ago, probably, the active chief of the czar's military establishment In 1856 Turchin went to London, on leave of absence, met there some en­ thusiastic officers of the American coast survey service, was induced by them to come to the United States, failed to secure the promised employ­ ment in the war department, drifted into the railway business, and at the opening of the civil war was appointed colonel of the Nineteenth Illinois regi- mennt of infantry. In the meantime, he had been outlawed by the Russian gov­ ernment, and bis vigorous way of making war soon caused him to be out­ lawed by the confederate government In the first year of the civil war he waa an experienced surrounded by officers of inexperisace. He was a fighter and strategist as well as dis­ ciplinarian, and his regiment--and his brigade when he came to the oommand of one--always gave a good account of itself in battle. He was, however, out of sympathy with General Buell, and in fact with th^ government In the tendency to treat rebels in arms con­ siderately and kindly. War to Turchin waa war, and he treated the people of the South aa enemlea. In aar queefton which Involved the safety, health, and comfort of his men and the people of a hostile district, he decided always in the interest of his own men. His policy was at first not approved, but in the later years of the war it became the policy of the army. Aa attempt was made to prejuldce the ease of General Turchin through a court martial. The court decided against him, but Presi­ dent Lincoln decided In his favor and commissioned him brigadier general, and he was a striking figure In the war to the very last Turchin wsa ot the old school of soldiers and gentlemen. like many Other officers trained in foreign schools he at first looked askance at our vol­ unteers, but in time he came to have the highest regard for them.

However--*- As I sped through the wide-open door a stranger bumped into me. "My dear fellow," I exclaimed, "do you know anything aboat this hotel? Where are the people who ran It? Where are the clerk, the caahier, the porter, bootblack, barman and pro­ prietor? I want to pay my bill and get away." "O, that's all right Bah. Let it go till you come back," he said. I declined. "Well, suh, being a friend of the management I reckon I can accommodate you. You may pay me. How much do you owe, suh?" My name was on the register, but no record of the time of my arrival ap­ peared. Just then the manager en­ tered, and the situation being ex­ plained to him, he said: "Don't both­ er about it, suh. Let the account stand until you return to Charles- town." "But I may never return!" I bawled, all out of pationce. "Then, suh, at your pleasure you may send me a check."

It la to be an amalgamation of the National Salt company of thla country, the Canadian Salt company, and the Brit­ ish Salt union, with a capital ot 950,- 000,000.

The known salt deposits of New York state alone cover 5,000 square miles and a** ige forty feet in thickness, thr are conservatively estimated to oaa- tain enough salt to supply the Unttsd States tor from 700 to 1,000 There are also vast deposits in MIchlgA, and both the Virgjtalae.

But in Lincoln county, Nebraska, there is a bed of rock salt ae mined that one man can dig and oat five tons a day. The depoaMa of Reno county, Kansas, are from 800 to 400 feet thick, giving about 2,000,090 barrels to each acre of surface. In Louisiana there are beds of salt over 800 feet thick, of unknown extent, and M per cent pure without refining. Theee are only a few and the beet known of the salt deposits of thla country. In addition there is ahraya the aea. It the proposed International Salt company succeeds in its aims that see- cess will not be due to any actual or possible monopoly of the supply ot •alt It can succeed only by keeping prices so low, so near the cost ot pro­ duction, that none will care to eom- pete with it There Is no possibility of any trust octopus, no matter how large, grasping the world's salt That la a necessity of life which cannot be monopolized. ~" The Gold Output. From advance sheets furnished by The Engineering and Mining Journal It appears that the United States was the greatest of gold and silver pro­ ducers during the year 4900. In goid production Australasia dropped from first to second place and the Trans­ vaal, which beat this country's ouput In 1899, fell far to the rear, owing to the stoppage of mining operations by the war.
