THE STORY OF A PERSONAL.
This was how it happened. It was about
6 o'clock in the eveuing and\J was enjoy-
ing an after-dinner siesta on the hack
piazza of my semi-rural residence in
Brooklyn: That is just why I prefer to re-
side in Brooklyn. One canbe semi-rural
within an hour of New York's heart.
I had had an excellent dinner and was
in that satisfactory self-congratulatory
mood that such an occurrence isapt to im- |
part. Life seemed very pleasant to me as
[ lay in my Mexican hammock, which
stretched across from one vine-covered post
to another, and the odor of honeysuckles
vas heavy on the air. A piano, two
houses down the street, was rippling an |
accompaniment to a girl's voice singing |
softly and sounding singularly sweet
through the evening stillness.
My wife sat in a low wicker rocker,
which swayed to and fro, and at her feet
our 2-year-old baby rolled ahout aimlessly |
on a white rug, making a soft cooing to his
nother as she bent her face to smile upon |
him. My pretty wife.! I can picture her
now as she looked that evening with her
beautiful brown hair gathered in a Knot at
the back of her head, her smiling face bent
down toward our child and her low-collar- |
ed summer gown of blue caught at her
white throat with a glittering crescent.
With eyes half closed I contemplated the
pretty picture through the smoke wreaths of
my cigar and thought what a fortunate
man I was to possess the prettiest wife and |
the most wonderful baby in the world.
Egotistical you say ?
would have felt that way yourself.
Then a fly iit on the end of my nose, I
hate the insects ever since, for that misera-
ble fly was the first insignificant cause |
which led to the train of startling events
which followed.

ing paper, which lay ona chair near me,
intending to use the sheet for a protection
for my face. :
“As I unfolded it my eye caught the
“personal” column, and in an idle way I
ran my eye along the paragraphs, suddenly |
stopping to read the following advertise-
ment.
“Will the blonde young man, with the
square mole under his left ear, who crossed
the Brooklyn bridge about 4 o'clock yester- |
day, be at the Brooklyn entrance this ev-

I'read this idiotic thing over and over
again. Why ? I was a blonde young man, |
with a square mole under my left car, and |
I had crossed the bridge yesterday ahout 4
o'clock.
Now, Iam not a man with a fondness !
for adventure, and I cannot remember one |
occasion since my marriage when I desired
to originate or follow up a flirtation. In
fact. I am rather old-fashioned in my ideas, |
and am inclined to despise the male flirts, |
mashers and nudgers that I have met. An-
other thing I am very much in love with |
my wife.
I had often heard the men downtown en- |
thuse over the charms of Casino chorus |
girls, Spanish dancers and burlesquers, hut |
I recollect experiencing a thrill of distinct |
contempt as I heard them and thought of
the pretty, dainty little woman who pre- |
sided over my home.
But this advertisement was very pecu-
liar.

his ‘left ear who crossed the bridge yester-
day about the same time I did ?
From my childhood up that clear brown
mark had been regarded asa distinguish-
ing mark, and which would identify me
under any and all circumstances. I had
never once thought of having it removed,
for it was not a disfigurement, and my
wife often laughingly said that it was that
mark which had first caught her fancy,
and she used to cite cases of people who
had fallen in love with a irregular tooth or
a snub nose.

into the street.

affections ? I'll send her home and give

to meet anyone and involve myself in a

necessarily be lies.

streets the car rattled, and at the bridge I

I had the sensation of seeing a man who

pass along my spinal column. There was
something uncanny in it. The young fel-
low was light complexioned and slim built,
and wore a sacque coat suit of dark flannel,
a Derby hat and spotless linen. His face
was quite pale, and I knew that if I were
nearer I should see the square mole be-
neath his left ear. It was the man.
He stood near the ticket office and kept
a sharp lookout on either side. He did not
seem to know in which direction the person
he expected would come. Perhaps he
waited for me ? My heart was beating

turned her face smilingly toward him in |

I shrank back out of the glare of the elec-

looked down upon the river. I lifted my
hand to my forehead and discovered that I
was cold as ice and that my face was cover-
ed with moisture.

PrrrsToN, July 5.—All was gloom and |
despair at the Twin shaft yesterday, but |
to-day, just a week since the accident oc- |
curred there, hope reigns, for there are in- |
dications that at least a few of the entomh- |
ed 60 miners are alive. The 11 o'clock |

hearing rappings, and every man of the |

rappings, but
The raps were first heard about 10.15.
At that hour several of the men on the
shift had managed to crawl over the debris
about 110 feet from the face of the fall.
Here they found an open space blocked by
a mass of rock and coal, over which it is |
impossible to force a way. While they |
were moving about there, examining the
fall, they were startled hy hearing five dis- |
tinct taps on the rail, two with a little in- |
terval between them, and then three rap-
idly. Before they recovered from their as-

‘cried William D. Owens, foreman of the |
shift. ‘Do you hear those rappings ? They |
are not made without cause.’ i
One of the men raised his pick and sent
back the tap. Then all listened intently. |
Back came the answer, clear and distinctly,
and leaving not a doubt in the minds of
the men who heard it as to its import. |
Again they tapped and again came the .
answer, and so they kept it up from* 10:15 |

| The Clearficld and Beech Creek cor-
| Iespondent of The Coal Trade Journal writes
| to his paper that ‘‘The officers of the Inde-
| pendent Knights of Labor in the district
| . REE . .
| are again discussing ways and means to aid
| in bringing about an advance in wages to
| the miners of the Virginia and West Vir-
ainia coal fields.”’ >
This is a wise move. For a long time
the miners were deluded by tariff buncom-
be but they have learned that this country
can produce far more coal than it consumes
and no amount of tariff will protect them.
During the ten months ending with April
1296 1,006,873 tons of anthracite and 1,-
874,805 tons of bituminous coal were sent
to other countries. The United States has
| everything to gain by free trade in coal.
| The Pennsylvania miner has to meet the
competition of the colored man in the Up-
per Potomac basin and of the convict in
Tennessee. The Beech Creek men are help-
| ing themselves in trying toraise the wages
[in Virginia. Since 1890 the coal produc-
I tion of this country has increased about
{ 7,500,000 tons annually and the number of
workmen from 191,000 to 244,000. While
the increase in the whole country was
7,500,000 the increase in the Virginia fields
was 5,000,000. While this was going on
the average selling price of coal in Penn-
sylvania dropped from 84 to 72 cents a ton.
The Virginias are now producing about
10,000,000 tons annually or about one-
tenth of the total output. Most of this
coal is mined by negroes who work for
wages that an Italian, Hun or Pole from
*‘pauper Europe’ would despise.
Stick to Democracy.
The Party 1s Greater Than any Single Issue.
Ex-Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, who has
been, as a candidate for United States sena-
| tor, making a red hot canvass for “free sil-
ver’ in his state, addressing an audience
of free silverites at Stone Mountian on
Decoration day, said : ‘‘The great question
| is that of finance. We must take hold of
it as we have done before, relying on a fair
| and honest ballot. But if the result is
| against silver we must stick by the party
| and cast our ballot for the nominees, who
| ever they may be. this is the only way to
| gain success. You will never see a party
that is for all you are for and ‘against ail
you are against. We must vote for the
| men who come nearest to our platform.’

| for free silver or gold. Democracy is he-
| fore and above any other possible issue.

sible to tell how far they are from the place |

The general belief is,
open space where the rappings were heard,
on account of the distinctness of sound,
but this open space is to-night 90 feet away
from the face of the fall.
SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE RESCUE IS MADE,
It will take atleast three days to reach |
and more fall. Beyond this, as far as the
men can determine, the fall is solid for
some distance, and 25 feet a day will be
good progress through it. It will be at
least six days, perhaps ten, perhaps twenty,
before the rescuers reach them.
This is the eighth day of their entomb-
ment. Can they live 10 days more? This
is the question which is disturbing the
people. :
Three Poles lived 19 days ina mine at
Jannesville without food. Several men
lived 10 days in the Sugar Notch mine on
a mule. Three men lived in the Nanti-
coke mine floating on a log for nine days.
There is hope that the unfortunates in the
Twin shaft may do as well. They have
good air ; there is no doubt they have
water ; they may have a mule; they cer-
tainly have their lamps, and the fish oil in |
them will furnish some sustenance. {
The investigation by Inspectors Roder-
ick, Stein and Brannon will be commenced
to-morrow. It has not been determined
whether is will be public or private. The
relatives of entombed men have employed |
a lawyer to represent them.
Only an Assault.
As the prisoner stood before the Judge
he gave evidence of a man having passed
through a cyclone and tapered off on a
threshing machine.
“You are charged with assault and bat-
tery on your wife,” said the Court to the
prisoner. ‘‘Are you guilty or not guilty ?'’ |
“Not guilty, your Honor.”
‘The officer who arrested you says he
saw you fighting with your wife and pulled
you away from her.”’ :
“Yes, your Honor, he did, and I was
much obliged to him.”’
‘And still you say you are not guilty 2"
‘No, your Honor.”
‘‘How do you make that out ?”’
“Easy enough, your Honor. She called
me a drunken loafer, and I tackled her on |
the spot.”
“Don’t you call that assault and bat-
tery 27?
‘No, your Honor. Only assault ; she
did all the battering ; fook at me, your
Honor, and judge for yourself.’
His Honor, in view of the facts, cut the

Don’t Do a Town Any Good.
Nine Classes of People Who are A Detriment to any
Town.
There are nine classes of people who do a
town no good and retard improvement and
progress, says an exchange. These nine class-
es are 1st, those who go out of town to do
their trading; 2nd, those who oppose im-
provements; 3rd; those who prefer a quiet
town to one of push and business; 4th;
those who imagine they run the town; 5th,
those who think business is done slyly
without advertising; Gth, those who deride
public spirited men; 7th, those who oppose
every improvement that does not originate
with themselves; 8th, those who oppose
every enterprise that does not appear to ben-
efit them, and 9th, those who seek to in-
jure the credit of an individual. Examine
the above list and see if your are to be
found in any’ of the; classes enumerated.
If you are you may come to the .conclusion
that you do the town no good: and retard
progress and improvement.

-———A well known minister gave utter-
ance a few days since to the following ad-
vice which is so full of good sense that we
present it to our readers. It is addressed
to young ladies and they would do well to
give the subject due consideration. ‘Do
| not ask your mother to wash the dishes
while you preside at the piano. God help
. the young man so unfortunate as to marry
a young woman ignorant of the practical
duties of home life.
around our fair daughters. Too many of
| our homes are controlled by the children
instead of by the parents. This lack of
home restraint finds its penalty in the af-
ter life of sorrow and remorse.”
——Some G. O. P. organs are making
much of the fact that McKinley is receiv-
ing messages of congratulation from Repub-
licans in which they say, ‘‘You will sweep
the country ;”? ‘You will surely be elect-
ed,” etc. Immediately after his nomina-
tion, in 1892, like turgid messages poured
in upon Benjamin Harrison. According to
our recollection, the Honorable Ben fell by
the wayside, notwithstanding the effusive
soothsayers. It would, perhaps, be wise to
bide the ides of November to see if the
Honorable Bill will do any better.
——The Mormon church suspended Mos-
es Thatcher for saying the church should
mind its own business and not meddle in
politics. For answer Moses’ fellow citizens
put a plank in their political platform de-
claring for the complete divorce of church
and State. They sent Moses as a delegate
to the Chicago convention besides.

shoes to-day,’’ said Jorkins, after he had

“You have had better luck than I ever

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Women’s bread winning has been treated
by many writers, but to avoid the discour-
aging experience so many encounter, a
woman must have some one secret of suc-
cess. Let her learn some one thing so
thoroughly that her way of doing it shall
create a demand for her work. A superfi-
cial education only fits one to battle the
world with pointed weapons, hut a thor-
ough training in some profession, trade or
art of market value provides one with the
proper materials for a struggle for exist-
ence.

Mis. Sarah Frances Dick has been cash-
ier of the First National hank of Hunting-
don, Ind., for fifteen years.
It is a very common practice amopg
women to wash the hands in water to
| which a little ammonia has heen added.
This is all very well if the supplementary
processes are carried out, but the simple use
of ammonia in the water will make the hands
rough and disagreeable almost beyond en-
durance. :
Use the ammonia by all means, but do
i not forget that it is unfit for toilet use un-
less its effects are carefully removed by
some suitable agent. Asa cleanser it is
invaluable, but it is strongly alkaline, de-
stroying the natural oil on and near the
surface of the skin, causing roughness and
a tendency to wrinkle.
After the use of any alkaline preparation
—and remember that many soaps contain
alkali—the hands should be rinsed in clean
soft water, dried with a soft towel, and
rubbed with some soothing compound ;
glycerine and rose water, almond oil or di-
luted honey will do. This restores the
softness of the skin and prevents chapping.
When the finger nails are dry and break
| easily, vaseline rubbed on after washing
| the hands will do a world of good. i

A pretty addition to a pink or blue shirt

Black and white striped satin jacket bod-
ices, trimmed with black and white lace
insertion are made with fronts of white
| mousselaine de soie embroidered in black
and completed with a jetted ceinture.
These are worn with skirts of black satin

etamine trimmed with black satin folds.
India mulls of exquisite texture and
sheer white linen lawns and organdies are
{made up in simple charming styles this
season, with skirts finished with a very
deep hem and one row of lace insertion
above, the sleeves close to the arm from
the wrist to three inches or so above the
elbow, the fore-arm nearly covered with
diagonal rows of lace insertion. The full,
short puff, or three graduated ruffles set in
one above the other, are of the dress fab-
ric bordered with the insertion, or they
are formed merely of four or five inch-
! wide tucks, which give great fullness to
the ruffles. In this case, the entire bodice
or else the yoke of the bodice, is formed of
the tucked goods, the tucks, as a rule, run-
! ning horizontally across the figure. In
other cases, the seamless waist or the yoke
alone is made of all-over embroidery over a
white or tinted lining. A pretty little
French gown of cream-white India mull is
trimmed on the bodice, skirt edge, and
sleeves with small frills of the mull bor-
dered with two rows of cream-white satin-
ribbon of the narrowest width that is made.
The effect is dainty and girlish.
{No very marked change in the fashion of
hairdressing has yet made its appearance,
but it is no longer considered good taste to
| wear anything but the very lightest of
| fringes, and hardly any curls are worn on
the forehead.” The Pompadour style which
is most in keeping with the fashionable
coats and basques, has almost all the
waved hair combed back from the face, es-
peCially in the centre, and one or two curls
only are left on the forehead at either side.
