Badges for the Banning Team.
The sixteen badges for the members
of the victorious Si Paso running team,
ordered by jeweler Rothschild from an
eastern Arm, have arrived, and are at-
tracting much attention in Rothschild's
window. They are decidedly the finest
thing of the kind ever seen here. Each
consists of a cross-bar with the name
of the member, pendant from which is
a malteBe cross. Around i he ring in the
center of the cross Is the legend "E. P.
F. D. Running Team." In ihw center
of the ring is a star, especially appro
priate because the running team is
known as the "Star" team, in the cen-
ter of the star are the figures ''86." The
medals are of solid gold. Mr. Rothschild
deserves credit for getting such hand-
some pieces of of workmanship for the
department. The badges will be pre-
sented to the victors of the contest at
Albuquerque at a special meeting of the
department to be held soon.

I was Informed that in some parts of the
pass there irere masses of snow fourteen
and sixteen feet deep, and it would be all
but Impossible to get through them. As
I persisted In my determination, however,
I at length succeeded in obtaining the serv-
ices of a sturdy peasant who knew every
Inch of the route, and who was tempted by
the lilteral fee I offered htm. We left
Bergun soon after 12 with a well stocked
knupsack of provisions, including a bottle
of old brandy. An hour later the sky had
clouded over, the sun had quite disap-
peared anil llttlo wreaths of powdery
snow filled the air.
As we approached the majestic and ter-
rific Teufelsthal the snow thickened and
fell in large, compact Hakes, while the
gust of deadly wind came up with a roar
from the awful ravine where the Albula
. thunders In its rocky lted 300 feet below
the roadway. The whole laudscape was
obliterated, and it was Impossible to see
half a dozen yards ahead. The road itself
was entirely lost, but the guide, with un-
erring instinct, traced the way, cleverly
avoiding the precipices and the drifts,
though now and again we found ourselves
struggling up to the waist in soft accu
mulations on the road itself. By llio time
we had painfully toiled up to the well
known stone bridge which spans the awful
ravine, the wind# was blowing a gale,
While the snow was blinding. We catne
within an ace of plunging down into the
rocky chasm; for the snow was level
with the parapet of the bridge, over
which it curled in a great cornice.
A PEMLOOS UNDERTAKING.
Here, for the first time perhaps, wo
fully realized the hazardous nature of the
undertaking. But to turn back was out
of the question, as that would have been
even worse than going on. From the
bridge the road is carried over the faco of
stupendous precipice, and thence de-
bouches on to «n extensive plain. Before
opening upon the plain the defile is ex
ceedingly narrow, and through this the
wind swept with such terrific force, and
was so charged with compact snow, that
six different times were we driven back
into the shelter of the projecting rocks
that broke the force of the cruel blasts.
At length, taking advantage of a lull, we
forced the passage and gained the open.
I confess that here I almost lost heart.
The icy wind seemed to blow clean through
one, and it stung the exposed parts of the
face like whip cords. All around appeared
to be a solid wall of snow. The flakes
were as large as live shilling pieces, and
almost blinded one. Conversation was out
of the question, for it was was impossible
to hear each other, while the exertion re-
quired to make progress at all was ex
ceedingly exhausting.
No one who hadn't been born among
these mountains and who had not spent a
lifetime in such desolate regions could
possibly have found his way and must in
evltably have perished. But my guide,
with one or two exceptions, never once
seemed to go astray. For myself, I fol-
lowed in his tracks mechanically. I was
numbed and drowsy, and he had tho ap-
pearance to me of a white specter only
dimly seen. Although by the hour there
should have been plenty of daylight, the
air was darkened by a thick biiow, and I
began to very seriously doubt whether it
was at all possible to reach our destina-
tion. The guide had similar thoughts, foi
soon after he stopped and shouted in my
ear that there was a shepherd's hut some
where about there, and it would be as
well to try and find it and shelter in it for
the night. readily acquiesced in this
proposal, an i we turned off at an angle
and forged, head for about a quarter of
on hour, when, with startling suddenness,
the guide disappeared—where I knew not.
I only knew that he had gone out of my
vision, and I was left alone In that ghastly
region of death, with the appalling roar
of the wind and tho river thundering in
my ears.
OVER A PRECIPICE.
I stood for a moment and shouted, but
my voice was drowned by the wind, and I
scarcely heard it myself. I determined to
try and discover what had become of my
companion, and render him assistance, if
needed. And so, like a blind man grop-
ing along, I advanced cautiously, probing
the snow with my alpenstock, but sudden
ly my feet seemed to go from under me
and I felt myself falling through the air.
The next thing that I was conscious of
was that I was buried In the snow and
was suffocating. I raised my hands with
some difficulty and cleared the snow from
my mouth and was then able to breathe.
The next moment I heard a voice very close
to me, and never In all my life have I heard
anything that sounded so welcome as did
that human voice in that awful moment
of deadly peril. I managed to turn round
and saw about a yard away the head and
shoulders of my companion. The situation
was dear now; we had plunged over a
precipice about ten feet and fallen into a
soft snow drift. "We must get out of
this immediately," he said calmly, "or
We're dead men." Ho had retained pos-
session of his alpenstock, and he gave me
one end of it, and by this means, but only
with great difficulty, he was enabled to
extricate himself. We fortified ourselves
with a strong dose of brandy, and he then
ptdled me out and we scrambled by the
aid of some bushes to the road again.
The cold was increasing, night was com-
ing on, and the snow was thickening. We
were olone In that stern wilderness, and
at any moment we might topple over some
precipice, or, failing that, sink from ex-
haustion in the snow and be frozen to
death. If we could only have got shelter
from the deadly wind, things would not
have been so bad. For, apart from the
distressing sense of numbness it produced,
it swirled the snow around ns and made
breathing most difficult. One had to take
in tho air in gasps, as it were, and at in-
tervals, when the force of the blasts less-
ened. For two and a half weary hours we
struggled on. It was a sheer straggle of
physical strength against the forces of
nature, and the, slightest failure of that
strength would have sealed our doom. At
length, with startling suddenness, my
companion uttered a joyful zodel. His
quick eyes had seen what mine hid not—
namely, a friendly gleam of light stream-
ing from one of the little windows of the
lonely hospice on the summit. The people
of the hospice heard tho shout and came out
with a lantern to welcomo us. They were
naturally surprised at oar appearance,
and as we entered the room, where a huge
iron stove diffused a genial warmth. I felt
that we had come out of a white world of
death Into the living, breathing atmos-
phere of human companionship, that was
doubly and trebly welcome after the ex-
treme peril we had passed, through.—

ings showing in
every liuo tha
broad scope of an
"all around news-
paper man." He
served for lifteon
years on Philadel-
phia papers, begin-
ning as a reporter
iud ultimately be-
coming successive-
ly the managing
editor of three daily
charlks w. fostkr. publications, The
I'rees, News and Call of that city; and
during this long term as a general
worker had no opportunity or desire to give
his humorous faculties full play. In The
News and The Call he conducted " funny col-
umns" which were widely quoted, but man-
agerial responsibilities prevented him from
doing himself justice. Oil Tho Omaha World
he is not thus handicapped, and heuoe the
marked difference in results. He is a devoted
student of human nature. Mankind is his
hobby. Given a character and an occa-
sion it is easy for liim to guess what
it would bo natural for that character
to do. Mr. Foster's humor is thus full
of revelations, his little surprises seeming In-
exhaustible. Born and reared in the anthra-
cite coal and canal regions of Pennsylvania,
spending many of his early years in mining
towns, ho had tho double advantage of asso-
ciation with people of the highest i-cflnement
and personal acquaintance with characters
such ns could only tie found there. For
months be was one of tho denizens of a min-
ing district, one-half of whose Inhabitants
were arrayed against the other, tho law abid-
jig portion being drilled and uniformed in
regular military organisations and many
placos being practically undor martial law.
Following his natural bent., lie did his beet to
probe the cause of dissatfection to the
bottom, often taking long tramps through
the gang infested forests at night in
hopes of adding to his stock of information,
tho points publicly presented beiug apparently
of little moment. Men were Iteing shadowed,
beaten and shot seemingly without motive
and a reign of terror hail bogun, which con-
tinued with little interruption for years.
From such scones he was suddenly transferred
to an academy in a large city. After a few
years he returned to Ills mountain home at
Mauch Chunk, Pa., revisited tho mining
towns and was then sent to Dio Lewis' gymn-
astic: school near lloston, whero outside of the
hours of exeivise ho had nothing to do but
study tho universal Yankee as he exists In
Now F,ngland. After preparing for college,
eutering and remaining a few terms ho
abandoned the classics and spent sev-
eral years in business pursuits, which
took him into adjoining states and
threw him among people of every imaginable
sort His journalistic experience in Philadel
phia embraced every duly which a newspaper
worker can lie called on to perform, and led
him into all grades of society, from tho fre
quenters of the lowest dives and denizens of
the most revolting slums to the visiting
wearers of coronets and their cultured
American hosts. His reportorial duties for-
tunately happened to extend over the Centen-
nial year, and, being at the Exposition daily,
he acquired a familiarity with national traits
and customs only possible to the carefully ob-
serving traveler. It will be seen, therefore,
that The Omaha World man has notaohievod
popularity at a bound. He has labored as
only journalists cau or will labor at his
chosen profession, and his bright sallies are
but the glintiugs of sunshiny drollery along
the rough but diversified hedges of wide ex-
perience.

A Kentuckian Who Has Become a Cali-
fornia Millionaire.
The New York Sun has in its day aimed to
■tart many booms. Among them is one for
William T. Coleman, of California, for the
presidency. What it will amount to remains
to be seen. Mr. Coleman was born in Ken-
tucky. The Louisville Courier Journal has
this to say of his futbor:
"More than forty yoarsago, when thegreat-
est of Kentuckiaus,
taking Clay as an
example, were
farmers, ono of the
best farmers in
central Kentucky
was Napoleon Bon-
aparte Coleman, of
Harrison county.
He represented
that county from
1838 to-1*11 in the
legislature, when a
man might belong
to that body and
be esteemed by his William t. colkman.
neighbors a gentle- [Photo by Taber, Han Fran-
man. By tho way, eisoo.]
numerous other members of the Coleman
family in Harrison became legislators,
and all were accounted honorable men.
N. B. Coleman was likewise a lawyer of
prominence, having an office in Cyothiana.
His remains were placed in tho neat little
cemetery near that place. It is the son of this
trentleman who is suggested for the presi-
dency."
W iiliain T. Coleman was a pioneer on the
Pacific coast, buying 48,000 acres, including
the site of Kan Rafael, the capital of Marin
county, which city was mainly built
by him afterward. He planted 250,000
shade trees on the drives and boule-
vards of Han Rafael, and this place is
now a pleasant resort for those who desire a
warm retreat and a change from the cool and
constant winds of Man Francisco. Mr, Cole-
man has large and controlling interests in the
salmon canning establishments of tbo Pacific
coast, besides which be lias valuable gold
mining stocks, an interest in one of the few
borax mines in the United States, and mer-
cantile houses in San Francisco, Chicago,
New York and London. His success in man-
aging all theso varied interests marks him as
a man of wide executive ability. He is a
