About three bushels of rose leaves entered Into lti competi tion. The pillow brought ten dollars and will go to Pittsburg as a wedding present.

The Delaware and Hudson company Is making preparations for sinking their No. 3 colliery nt Plymouth to tho Baltimore vein, which will take nearly twelvo months. Tho oillclals of tho company will endeavor to run tho breaker half tlmo until tho shaft Is driven tho entire depth. Another electric motor Is being placed in the AVoodward colliery near Kingston, enlarging tho electric haul age plant. The system Is ns yet prac ticable only In mines where tho work ings ure not too much distributed, ns In the AA'oodward. Dny after day culm Is being flushed Into the Co'nyngham mine of the Dela waro nnd Hudson In North AVilkes Barre. Some years ago the water gained on the pumps to such an ex tent that tho mine was Hooded and It took about a year to pump out the water. Then the mine caught fire and It was again flooded. The Hooding and pumping out took over another yenr. Then It was discovered that tho lire had not been put out and it again had to bo Hooded und the water pumped out. This took another year and a half. The last pumping out was linlsh ed last Sept. 18. An exploration was mado a few weeks later and to the astonishment of nil concorned It wns found that there was still heat In the Inner workings, denoting tho presence of more fire. Another Hooding wus not resorted to, but the company Is nt present flooding culm through a bore hole Into tho seat of the trouble. This Is cutting off the ventilation from the affected area and It is thought that when the air is all cut off tho lire will dlo out. The Hushing will tako several months more. In the mean time, part of tho mine is being worked, but a largo area can bo reclaimed by extinguishing thu fire, and busldes the men will be safer. Grent rim In Conilantlnople.

We of the "fair" sex seem strangely npathetic In this city. Either we are feeling too horribly miserable over the war and ull that It means, or else we are amazingly indifferent. Certain It is that, as compared with our sex in other cities, we ure little interested In the great disturbance. To bo sure, these other women are possibly making sublime nuisances of themselves in order to prove their patriotism. I have no sort of doubt but that their ever lasting tensing of the president and the war department to "please give us something to do" Is a great bother. Their mannish tendency to make reso lutions about their sentiments toward Mr. McKInley must be another nuis ance. It'a nil right to "resolute," if only they wouldn't Insist upon having somebody read the results. It must take one private secretary the entire time to return polite thanks for the hysterical resolutions the women's clubs and societies all over the coun try are sending to the jyiilte House. Of course the president is glad that he is pleasing the women, even If they can't vote, and even If he can't seem to satisfy tho exactions of all the other people, but it must grow a trifle mon otonous to bo obliged to read or listen to these voluminous testimonials of approbation. Probably the less prominent officials nnd the physicians supposed to bo In charge of hospital arrangements have the hardest of It. No doubt they de voutly wish the society woman would conllne her yearning for nursing nnd making bandages to the privacy of her own household and not be so deter mined to "try It on the dog." Sho has been courteously but firmly shoved off the hospital ship. The beautiful pic ture of herself In pastels, In a moonlit battletlelds, as she lilts about from one poor wounded soldier to another, dis pensing comfort and cheer, has been rudely marred by a brute of an olllcer who peremptorily informed her that tho Held Is not her place In any capac ity. She has been told that the work of a nurse in n military hospital Isn't the sweet ministry described In the war novels, and she has been assured that picking lint and making band ages, although harmless amusements In themselves, are a waste of time, since It costs the government only a trilling Mini to provide these supplies. Moro than all this and It would teem that no one could expect her patriot Ism to withstand such a shock a leathery-hearted high otllehll has pub licly stated that no good-looking young woman need apply. They want middle aged and vory plain-looking nurses nt tho front. Strange to say, there are still thoso who endeavor to secure a commission, even under this wot blankoty proviso. Of course, however, tho ones who are refused take a cer tain amount of consolation in the cause of rejection. Notwithstanding all these rebuffs, women apply In swarms for suggestions ns to what they can do for their country. Tho members of the "unquiet sex," as Helen vvatterson Moody terms n certain proportion of tho women of the laud, seem determined to make a plaeo for themselves In tho present crisis. One of tho most remarkable Ideas they entertain Is to begin the formation of woman's clubs In Cuba, ns if tho poor things down thoro had not already suffered enough! Tho work which they might do with great credit to themselves and inflnlto nld to their land ns auxiliary to the Red Cross, in many cases thev disdain and succeed In netting Into quarrels over author ity, precedence nnd methods, greatly to the Injury of good results. Thus, perhaps, the women of Seran ton do not err In their quiet acceptance of the disaster of war, and In their plncld belief that It will ho all right without their help. Yet It Is rnthcr surprising that they havo made no ef forts In a public wuy to ameliorate the woes of the soldier at tho front, since, as a rule, they aro quick to follow or even to originate fads. iPosslbly the uncertain fato which has threatened our regimental atnbulunco Is a blight damper on their patriotism. An atn bitjanco which Isn't allowed to amble, after being purchased for tho benellt of our own boys, Is enough to dig courugo the enthusiasm of a war tor podo. Maybe if they wont at It and made a lot of pincushions, noodle books, woolen socks or Htinnol wrap pers for hot water bottles und other necessaries, thu cruel government wouldn't think these things were good for the Thirteenth reglmant nnd would send 'cm nil bnok. Probably" 111 they forwarded delectable Jellies rind pieserves for our own soldiers Some, ot tho regular 1. S. olfleers (somehow' wo can never think of our boys nn anything but the N. G. P.) would oat nil tho goodies. Of course, Hrranton women might bustle nround nnd try to do something for the Ninth regi ment to replace Us losses by lire. Surely If this Is it holy war, destined to unite factious, fated to llrmly fasten the tie between north and smith, It ought to havo some effect on tho old time feud between Seranton nnd Wllkcs-llarre, but somehow we hnven't been seized with i enthusiasm for Bow ing und cooking for the Ninth regi ment. Ah, me! 1 fear wo are not very pntiiotlo. Saucy Bess. ftaaSiical Gossip One of the finest pieces of choir worlc ever heard In Seranton was rendered by the qholr of the Second Presbyterian Church lust Sabbath evening. Tho beautiful hymn, "Now the Day hi Over," by Burby, was sung by the en tire chorus for the offertory,, withrju't accompaniment. Four stni)za'wcro given with a beauty oCAijIeerByinpftliy of expression nnd rich to'n,e blending and coloring which waS'-enlranclng'. The shading and, balance of .voices blended beautifully nmb nt tljio close of tho fourth stanza, when the volcea had melted away into the most deli cate pianissimo, Mr. Chance took, up the refrain In u charming" soft com bination o tone on tlio organ In tho same key aa the piece was written nnd thlotighoilt the entire selection tho choir had not varied from tho truo pitch. To render a selection us this was given requires art, voice and care ful practice, and this excellent body of singers under the capable leadership of Mr. Chance ure giving to tho con gregation of the Second church ns lino music as cunf)0 heard In any church In any city.
