there. She asked in a hoarse voice for the
vicar. The housekeeper did not see her
face or recognize tin voice; the visitor de
clined to give her name.
Asking the -woman to step into the hall,
the housekeeper informed 3Ir. Stedtist that
a visitor wanted to see him on "pressing
business" those were the woman's words.
The Ticar rose at once from his seat, and
Mr. "Whvmper noticed that his face grew
paler, while the expression became filed and
determined.
For several moments after Mx. Stedfast
went into the hall neither Mr. Whyraper
nor the housekeeper heard anything. If the
vicar and the visitor were speaking it must
have been almost in a whisper. Then the
woman's voice was heard saying in an angry
tone. 'Ton must!" and the vicar's reply,
though calmly said, was loud enough to
reach the curate's cars.
"I will not," lie said. "Your exactions
have nearly ruined me already, and until
you give me the pledge I ask, 111 not give
tou another shilliug. If scandal must come,
let it."
For a moment there was silence, then the
woman uttered, with a hiss, these words:
"My curses upon you. You have ruined
ruined me. My God, what shall I do?" A
moment later the front door closed with a
bang, and the vicar returned to the study.
Mr. Vhvmper noticed that he was ghastlv
pale. He made no reference to what had
happened, bnt simply told the curate that
he lelt uuweil, and would do no more work
that night.
Mr. Whymper lost no time jn carrying
the news of ths incident to all the smart
people in Bourgoistown. Thev were horri
fied and outraged by it. Hone of them
doubted who or what the woman was she
could be nothing but a discarded mistress;
and, being not only smart, but virtuous,
they were appalled at the discovery. They
immediately resolved to hold a kind of
council of war to decide what fcteps should bo
taken.
At this council the general feeling was in
favor of a requisition to the vicar to resign
the living immediately, under threat of ex
posuie. Mr. Capelcoun, however, was a
cautiouh mau, and he would net consent to
this course As yet. he pointed out, though
there was every reason to beiieve the woman
was tlie icar's discarded mistress, there
was no proof of it. Such being the
case, it would be very rash" to act
on the assumption that the point
w:s established beyond doubt. But
though there was no pioof, there was strong
ground of suspicion, which the vicar might
very reasonably be asked to explain. Mr.
Capelcourt, therelore, moved that a deputa
tion be appointed to wait on the vicar, to
state the story which vas being discussed
all over the parish, and to ask him to reas
sure them by stating who the woman was, or
otheiwise satisfactorily disposing of the
scandal. Alter some opposition iroin the
more eager spirits, this motion was carried,
and a depuiation duly appointed.
Mr. Stedfast received the deputation in
his library. He listened patiently, and with
a sad face, to all they had to tell him. Xever
once during the recital did he break silence.
"When they had finished he rose to his feet.
"Gentleuieu," he said, "I cannot tell you
who the woman was. I can give you no ex
planation of the matter. It is a dreadful and
heart-breaking aCairto me. All I can do is
to assure you, in the most earnest manner,
that the public suspicions to which you reter
are absolutely groundless, and to appeal to
the evidence ot my life among you in 6 urn
port of this assurance. I can say no more.
Gentlemen, good tiitrht."
Before the deputation could realize it, the
vicar had left the room. They had no diffi
culty in guessing the reason of his hay de
parture. "While he was speaking his voice
had once or twice trembled so violently that
they were surprised it did not break down
altogether, and when he ceased his ejes were
lull ol teirs.
The vicar's agony moved the pity even of
the indignant smart people of Bourgoistown.
The howl of virtuous rage which they were
just setting up died away iu a few paltry
grumbles. Even the stalwarts, who were
no' moved themselves, had, in deference to
public opinion, to confine themselves to
growls.
Much curiosity was felt as to what Miss
Kose, the vicar's betrothed, would do. Of
course, as Mrs. Earthernware and Mrs.
Capelcourt and all the other ladies pointed
out, if she was a self-respecting woman,only
one course was open to her; but then the
difficulty was whether she was a sel -respecting
woman. You see, as Mrs. Earthenware
said, she was only a governess, and so you
could not expect much of her. If she had
been a Miss Capelcourt or a Miss Earthen
ware it would have been different. But
there, a governess can't afford to be particu
lar when she gets a chance. And it was
such a match too, lor the like of her. No;
none ol the smart ladies wonld be a bit sur
prised if she married him after all.
And she did. 2fot a month after the inci
dent which caused the scandal she became
his wife. The smart ladies, in spite ot their
anticipations, were shocked at her cillons
ness, as they called it. And their disgust
was not diminished when, be ore the wed
ding was over, it became known that on the
previous night the woman had again
come to the vicarage, had demanded money,
and, worst oi all, had created yuch "a
scene that the vicar had to gie way to her
desires.
"While the vicar and his bride were away
on their honeymoon this second appearance
ot the mysterious woman was the one sub
ject of discussion in the parish. The more
it was dicu-seii the warmer grew the public
indignation. The vicar ol Bourgoistown
that spot selected from the whole earth as
the especial retreat of all the virtues of re
spectability tbat he should be a man of dam
aged character, with a discarded mistress con
stantly wailing about his gates; the thing
was monstrous, intolerable! The whole
smart population, male and female, rose in
rebellion at the thought. The matter could
not be allowed to remain as it was, and yet
nobody could suggest what should be done.
Some talked about demanding his resigna
tion, but Mr. Capelcoun' a observations on
...., --- . . I
that point Deiore remained in people's mem- :
one, ana made them cautious, utbers pro
posed to request the bishop to intervene, a
suggestion which met with more acceptance.
But the bulk of the congregation took refuge
in that favorite device o British moralists,
and screamed.
The screaming was at its height when the
vicar und his bride returned. The poor Dir
son looked little like a bridegroom coming
home. He was pale and worn, and his face
seemed that of a broken and hopeless man.
His appearance was so piti ul that it might
have melted hearts of stone; but it had no
softening efiect on those of the smart people
of Bourgoistown. Their blood was now up,
and it would not cool till they had hd his.
Tbe first Sunday after his return thete was
a crowded congregation. The moment he
rose to read the first lesson half the people
present got up and left the church. The
vicar stood silently watching them go out,
his eyes dry and straining, and his mouth
twitching with agony. When they had gone,
with an effort he proceeded to read the les
son in a voice which trembled with sup
Dressed emotion.
Things had now come to a crisis. The
btshop, Dr. Waldiwize, heard of the matter
and intervened. He heard the vicar's
statement, and, being a gentleman, he ex
pressed his belief in it.
"But," he said, "though I believe all
you say tbat this secret is one not in the
least discreditable to you still, my dear
sir, you must see that you cannot expect the
world to be quite so charitable. Men of the
wor!d will put reliance, not on your de
claration, but upon the lacis; and the tacts,
however capable of explanation they may
be, are, unexplained, suggestive of very
grave reflections. I want then to appeal to
jcu. lor the credit of the church, either to
explain satisfactorily or to resign."
"I cannot explain' said Mc Stedfast.
'Then, my dear sir," answered the bishop,
'for the sake of the church and of religion,
resign. I appeal to you not to be the cause
of bringing sciudal upon our holy calling. "
The vicar did not answer lor a moment.
"My lord," he said then, "I see the justice
of your words, and will abide by them.
Give me a week 'or reflection By tbe end
of it I will be ready with either an explana
tion or my resignation."
Oh, tbe agony of that weekl "What hesi
tation, what struggles, what suffering of
spirit the poor vicar went through, pen can- J
not tell. On Saturday night he made up his
mind. He would'resign.
The next day he conducted service. As
belore.-the moment he rose half the congre
gation went out. He persevered, however,
and, when he came to. preach, be told the
people who remained of faU resolve. It was
the last sermon they should hear from him.
He did not blame them for harshness to
him; they could not too sternly guard the
holy sanctuary from contact with evil; and
appearances were against him. But when
the true facts came to their knowledge, as
come they might, they would then see (hat
their judgment upon him, though not unjust
under the circumstances, was altogether
mistaken.
The service was ended, and the vicar,
with trembling steps, had retired to the ves
try. Mr. Capelcourt one of the few smart
people who had remained had followed
him in order to take leave of him. Sud
denly a woman, mad with drink, rushed
into the room. At the sight of her thevicar
raised his hands with speechless horror.
"You won't give m" money till I give up
play and drink and TJlrici, won't you?" she
screamed, with the voice and mien of a
demon. "I'll show you I'll I'll "
Vhat she was going to. say was lost in the
report of a revolver. She had fired at the
vicar and struck him. He staggered and
fell fainting, wounded in the leg.
The sound of the pistol seemed to half
sober the woman. She ceased screaming
fora moment, and stood silently staring at
the bleeding man.
"Mv God," she muttered, "what have I
done?"
Mr. Capelcourt, who was standing para
lyzed with horror, now recovered himself,
and advanced to seize the mad woman. She
saw him and raised her pistol. For a second
she hesitated, then turning it toward her
bosom she pulled the trigger, and a moment
afterward lay dead, shot through the heart.
Several other persons had now entered the
vestry, attracted by the sound of the fire
arms. Among them was Mrs. Stedfast, who
rushed over to her husband and lifted bis
head upon her knee. The others stood round
appalled and motionless. Mr. Capelcourt at
last advanced to the woman, aud put bis
hand upon her chest.
"Dead; she's ded," he said. "The vicar
will be troubled no more. Who can she be?"
"I will tell you!" cried Mrs. Stedfast, as
she glanced up from her husband's pale face.
"I promised him never to tell while she
lived, but now my tongue is untied. She is
his mother!" London Truth.

A Couple of Cases Where Sis Arrows "Went

the Little FeHow "Will Make Once in a
TFhl.le.
Attorney "W. J. McDonald yesterday filed
the testimony taken before him as commis
sioner in the divorce case of Sadie H. Smith
against George Smith. The couple was
married iu 1888. Cruel treatment was the
allegation.
In the testimony it was stated that the
pair, unable to get along together, went to
Alderman Richards' office to draw up
articles of separation. While there Smith
struck his wife and knocked her through a
window, cutting her on the neck. For this
he was arrested and sent to jail. Another
time he met his wile and her sister on
Sinithfield street, and demanded of his wite
her wedding ring. She refused to give it to
him, and he knocked her and her sister
down. Mrs. Smith then rave up the ring,
and Smith immediately pawned it. Other
cases ot abuse were testified to, which, it was
claimed, were sufficient cause for divorce.
The testimony taken in the divorce case
of Mrs. Alkev Bush against John H. Bush
was also filed yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Bush
were married in 1873, when she was but 17
years of age. She claimed tbat her hus
band's treatment of her was such as to break
down her health and make her life intoler
able, compelling her to leave him two years
ago. Jealousy was alleged as the principal
trait of the husband's character. He would
fly into a rage and abuse his wife without
any provocation. For years he kept threat
ening to kill himself, and terrified her with
his threats. Many times he would dress
himself fur death, and get ont his revolver
or razor and bid her goodbr. He always
changed his mind, however, before he in
jured himse'f. and generally wound up by
getting drnnk. Mrs. Bush stood this treat
ment for 16 years, and then left him.

"fiecent Disasters.
THE DEFECTS OF THE STATDTES.

Perfect Safety.
THEEE LETTERS OP GRATE IMPORT
To tbe Editor or The Ulspatcct
. Apropos to the disaster at J. C. Haydon's
mines at Jeanesville, Luzerne county, it has
occurred to the writer that a few facts rela
tive to the section of the mine laws, which
provides for the .accurate, mapping of the
mines, also to the work of the geological
survey in that district may not be uninter
esting. The accident at Dunbar will be re
called, and other similar accidents where
life and property depended very largely
upon the accuracy of the existing mine
maps.
It has been recognized in the past (but a
few years ago) that section 1 of the anthra
cite mine law, and it appears of the bitu
minous law also, providing for accurate
maps of the mines' wai defective in that,
while it provided for an accurate map or
plan of the workings, the engineers them
selves or the" operators were the judges as
to what this accuracy should consist. Sec
tion 1 reads: "That the owners or agent of
every anthracite coal mine or colliery shall
make, or cause to be made, an accurate map
or plan of the workings of such coal mine,
or colliery on a scale of 100 feet to the inch,
and shall state (the map) the
general inclination of the-strata, with any
material deflection therein in said work
ings."
I have said defective, because it is not
made obligatory on the part of the engineer
or operator to place 'upon such plan the
levels or heights above tide, or some common
datum, of every instrumental station such
engineer makes, in making an "accurate
plan" of tbe mine. It will he seen that
such data are not necessary to make an
accurate plan, as this is simply the mine
drawn upon paper as a perfect plane, aud
while it certainly is necessary in inclined
workings fur the engiueer to take vertical
angles in order to make a perfect plan, he
does not usually place these angles upon his
map.
Where a Mistake Is Made.
The "general inclination of the strata and
any material deflection therein in said
workings" is taken to mean jnst "the
strata" and nothing else, and this provision
is complied with on the maps, 'bnt this is
not the heighth of the gangways and breasts
above a common datum,- preferably tide
level. There are no more accurate maps
made than those of the operating companies
oi the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania,
and this has long been recognized, but t is
only within a few years that it was con
sidered as essential for the engineer to know
the heighth and depth 'of the workings as
their length and breadth. The necessities
of the case have been , against getting such
facts, as primarily the operator wanted to
know how close he was working to his own
and neighbor's land line, so as not to
run the risk of a suit for trespass,
and in order to leave sufficient
pillar between himself and the adjoining
workings; and the calculations of the levels,
even if they were taken witbtboinstrument,
were looked upon as dead work. The pro
gressive engineer would .not, of course, be
content with a single plan of his mine, and
the maps of the large mining coiporatiocs
are not wanting in hypsometrical data, but
in the compilation ot the anthracite maps
published by the Geological Survey and now
to be found in everv public and every well
regulated engineer's library, the absence of
the levels on many of them was a source of
much regret and without which no cross
sections could be made or conclusions
reached dependent upon hypsometrical data.
The tops and bottoms of tbe shafts would be
noted, but these were generallyjudependent
of the engineer, being determined by the
contractor in many cases. , .
It was one of the plans of the late Charles
A. Ashburner, that, starting at Forest City,
the extreme northeastern end of the northern
anthracite or Lackawanna Basin, all the
collieries in the anthracite region should be
connected by an accurate line of levels
based upon mean tide level standard bench
marks being established within easy dis
tance of the collieries, that each operator
should base all his levels upon, aud so make
the levels on the maps at each end and in
every part of the basins exactly comparable
and show without roam for doubt tbe exact
relative heights of the gangways of one
mine to those of the mine adjoining,
and thus, in all probability, do away
with such accidents, as that at Jennsville.
As. it is now, the 'operators and engineers
have daturas of their own, when they have
auy at all, and so it is difficult to get the
relative levels of their workings, and when
they are based on tide level, the datum may
be taken from one set of railroad levels; und
for another colliery, from another set of
levels, as the railroads may be nearest their
openings, aud so they do not agree. For
instance, at Scranton, the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad Com
pany's datum is 7.4 leet lower than
that of the Pennsylvania Coal Company.
The plan was, however, not carried out,
owing to tbe money being needed for other
parts of the work.
The latest Terrible Disaster.
From tbe newspaper accounts of the
Jeanesville disaster, it appears that old
workings full of water were struck into by
the miners, who bad no idea ot iheir near
ness. This might have been obviated with
such a provision for levelling in the law as
spoken of. The law already provides that
"when any coal mine or colliery is worked
out preparatory to being abandoned, when
any level or lift thereof is being finished
with a view and for the purpose of being
abandoned, or when any pillars therein are
to be removed, the owner or agent shall
have the map or plan thereof, as the case
may require, careiully verified, and notice
shall be given to tbe inspector for the dis
trict in writing, o' the purpose to abandon
or remove the pillars, as the case may be."
Tnis law may have been complied with in
the case of the old workings referred to, bnt
as this abandonment may have taken place
a long time ago, tbe old Workings were lost
sight of by the miners, if they ever knew of
them.
It would seem that tbls-provision in the
law would be sufficient to accurately locate
old wotkings, and prevent their being cut
into, but there needs another provision in jt
to compel the placing upon all colliery
maps of the workings of the adjoining oper
ators, along those lines wbere they may at
some time come together. This would show
the nearness of the adjoining workings and
thus prevent accjdeut. As it is now, each
mine map may be aocurate, as relates to its
own workings, but m ty show nothing of
the workings ou tbe other side the line. And
If it does, the surveys being, made on differ
ent base lints the position of tbe different
workings shown on the map may uot be
their true position on the ground. Or, they
may have been put on the jaap by fitting to
the land lines; a very hazardpns way, when
land lines are so oiten in dispute. .
What Is Sliown'by the Sheet.
I have before me sbeet.No. "Vill. of the
Eastern Middle Atlas, Part IL of the Geo
logical Survey, published in 1888, called
the Jeanesville sheet? which shows the work
ings of the Jeanesville and. adjoining col
lieries, ou a scale of 800 feet to an inch, and I
desire to call the attention of those inter
ested, especially the. newspaper forces, to tbe
data easily obtainable, from these maps of tbe
anthracite regions, on the many items of
interest daily arislng-in connection with the
mining industry, aud to whom such in
formation should be a sine qua non. This
sheet shows, and this .will answer as a de
scription of each, sbeet.of. the anthracite
survey, tbe outcrops oi-rtue. different co
ocas, tne gangway ana nreasis .mined
each bed, in an appropriate color, in, fact all
tbe underground features as, well as those,
ot the surface, with all levels where they
could be had and were reliable, and, of
, course, all the geological 'features, with a
section of the coal beds mined on the area of,
the sheet.
It will not surprise anyone on looking at
the above sheet that such a disaster should
have occurred at Jeauesyilleaj with the
workings iu the Mammoth and "Wharton
beds superimposed upon each other there
appears little space where the coal is not
worked out in the Mammoth bed, and
where it might be n feat to mine without
knocking into some old workings. This is
stated very generally, as specific informa
tion is not at hand of the exact location of
the flooded workings.
But after all you cannot legislate men
good; neither can you by legislation give
them'brains, and where one snch accident
occurs from transgression of law, ten take
place from a want of appreciation of tbe
dangers incurred by the uneducated for
eigner who rushes into the mines, unable
even to understand the warnings given to
prevent him from being blown into eternity.
Legislate by all means, but the evil will
only be completely remedied by education.

COAL MINE FLOODS.
Not the Slightest Excuse for This Form of
Accident A Source of Wonder How
Any Such Thine Can Happen Some
Suggestions Made.
To the Editor of Tbe Dispatch:
There is one horrible form of accident in
coal mining fur which there should not be
the slightest excuse, and that is for those dis
asters arising from sudden floods from neigh
boring abandoned workings, such as we
have several recent illustrations of, and I
beg leave to suggest a simple method to ob
viate the danger complained of, and wonld
urge its embodiment in the State laws.
The trouble arises from-several causes,
among which may be mentioned want of
accuracy in tbe surveys, or failure to record
and post tbe records in such a way that the
mine bosses will readily understand them,
and secondly, want of conformity to a com
mon staudard, or base lines; in the survevs
ot neighboring mines, or in other words,
want of correct connection of separate plots.
A Necessity for Every Mine.
Every mine opened should have a refer
ence stone, in which is set a metallic point,
the stone to bo firmly established in the
gronud and protected from injury, and
situated at some point near and in plain
view of the entry or shaft. This stone
should be known as tbe Initial point from
wbicb an instrumental survey of tbe mine can
at any time be 'made. One or more similar,
stones should be set at a suitable aisiance
away on a line from the first one, which line of
sight will establish tne mines base. To exDlaln
tbe use of this base, we will suppose a transit
instrument to be accurately set oyer tbe
initial stone, the telescope is then directed
to plumb lines suspended lrom light portable
"horses," or tripods (which should be used
whenever possible) over tbe other points on tbe
base line and the vernier then to be set at zero.
Turning the instrument toward the mine will
immediately record some angle It matters not
what angle so tbat it 1 recorded on the plans
ot tbe mine, with tbe distance in the mine also
recorded, to which s iid angle carries to the
next turning point. And so on tbrougbout the
mine, the angles, checked on "forward sight',"
as much as possible, should be continued to be
recorded, with distances given from steel tape
horizontal measurement, using plumb bobs,
etc., line plugs in the roof being set at every 100
feet in all entries aud traveled passage ways, with
theelevations of the floor beneath them, referred
to the initial stone for the datum, recorded in
the books and ou tbe maps. No reliance upon
compass bearing records can be bad. An in
terior angle or say 65 and 41', for instance,
means always exactly what it sajs when turned
from a known bast whereas an angle of
north 65 41' west also interior from said base
changes from j ear to year and even varies at
different hours uf the day. The variations of
the compass, at least of the instruments in com
mon use, has proved them to be more of a
curae than a blessing to the peace of mind of
Pennsylvania land owners. Fow surveyors
read nearer than 15', or a quarter of a degree,
with their compasses. Now suppose the case
of two mines whose entrances are one mile
apart, an error of "soothing" in the one case
and of "northing" in the other iu their sur
veys, to tbe extent of one-quarter of a decree
would amount to about 25 leet on meeting dis
tance, should tbe mines over connect, whereas
if tbe allowable total error was kept within 3',
as it could be kept with transits, the discrep-'
ancy pussible due to this cause at that distance
would not be over five feet, and I may say that
much better work than this is done constantly
In engineering practice even in difficult curved
.tunnels.
With snch a system of surveys an accurate
record of tbe entries and rooms could be read
ily kept up, and when
Mines Are So Near Each Other
tbat some care would seem to be necessary to
prevent interference, the district inspector
should order a transit line connection of their
base lines. The intersecting angle of these
Uses being thus determined, with the distance
apart of their respective initial stones, the two
mines could be accurately plotted on one sheet
the same as though they were one property,
and by no other method can two Independent
surveys bo accurately collated. It would be
well to insist upon all neighboring mines within
reasonable distance of each other to be so con
nected, and before the abandonment of any
mine, or part of a mine, the inspector should
be notified so tbat he may have an assistant
make a careful tinal survey of tho worked out
portions. The mine owners should be re
quired to pay the expense of such surveys.
They should also be required to keep plainly
posted, framed under glass, a map ot their
workings in such a place that the miners could
have free access to it, and upon such bulletin
map weekly or monthly changes should be in
dicated by a system ! colors. Upon this chart
should also be shown, when it is desired by the
inspector, the position of tbe neighboring mines
or abandoned wurkings.
There is danger not only from water, but from
explosive Rises from neighboring abandoned
workings, and there should be prescribed bv
law an intervening space to be left unworked,
beyond which it should be' forbidden to go, uu
less. Indeed, it can be shown by examinations
or by authorized borings through that no water
or gas exists iu the abandoned mine. With such
a system of supervision the mistakes and the
weeks of anxiety experienced by the exploring
parties at the Farm Hill mines and the more
recent disasters at Janesvillo and elsewhere
would have been avoided.
Bnt Little Additional Expense.
What is hero proposed Involves little or no
extra expense to coal operators, while tbe re
sponsibility for this kind of accident.would res
upon intelligent men. On this point 1 think
the law should provide a penalty for engineers
Snaking an error in mine surveys of angle,
distance or elevation beyond a prescribed limit,
to be regulated by dlstanco traversed. This
wonld make them careful, and would result iu
none but thoroughly competent men, being
licensed to do underground work in coal
mines.
It has come to be considered tbat so many
men are to be annually slangbtered in the coat
mines of Pennsylvania, and that nothing cbe is
to be expected, and the public mind has be
come hardened, and to a certain extent Indif
ferent, to the welfare of miners. Tbe facts aro
that our mining laws need a general overhaul
ing, witb a reorganization ot departments, and
divided but.clearly defined responsibilities: an
organization in which men of executive ability
and scientific attainments cm find a place. An
industry second in importance only to the
greatest in Pennsylvania and around which
Eecullar dangers lurk is surely worthy of the
est thought of our legislators and the people
of the State. The cause of .humanity demands
this much even If selfish interests continue to
dictate Indllferenco to the needs ot a class ot
laborers considered but little better than serfs.
PITTSBUEG, Feb. 12, 1891. R.
A LEAK IN THE LAW.
Another Suggestion Intended to Enhance
the Safety of the Miner.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Allow me to say a lew words through
your columns to the mining inspectors;
Noticing you' and many others, who are
directly interested in the amending of the
present mining laws, are exercised over the
terrible disasters which have and may tike
place, through the present code of laws; which
do not give power to tbe proper persons, to
secure immediate safety; wllen danger is ob
served. Please allow me. to insert tbls. for your
consideration: And give power to Incompetent
men", (superintendents), to give Injudicious
orders, to tbe mining boss; which must be car
ried out or give up bis position, hence, tbe re
sult an honest mining boss forfeits his position
before bo will risk: the lives of men under hit
caro in snch a dangerous calling.
I think there is a leakage In this part of tbe
management of mines,anu "all superintendents
or the name, should pas an equal or more
difficult examination" than the mining boss,
tbat be may be qualified to dictate wisely not
ignorantly, and tbe public would recognize
tbelr position as one ot merit not favor.

GLEAMSGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS
The Presbyterian says: "The long and
fine educational aud religions-hisiory which
has been made by Washington and Jefferson
College may be largely'due to the fact that
there are now 28 Presbyterian churches in
Washington county,' Pa., with a member
ship of 0,119, an a'verage of 218. There are
25 United Presbyterian churches in the
same county, with 3,801 members. Ont of
these Presbyterian families what a steady
stream of students has flowed through the
past years into the halls of the college, and
through them into the learned professions
and into all tbe various walks of life!"
