LEWIS FELL
INTO A WELL
HE HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.
While Working in the Cellar of Hl

an Unsual Experience Bootblacks

Other Matters of Interest.
John T Lewis, nil aged and well
known resident of Kynnn street, hml n
most rcniiirkahle experience yesterday
morning, and nt the some t lino 11 re
markably narrow escape from death
by drowning In nn old abandoned well
In the cellar of his homo.
Ho hud been doing some work In the
cellar with Mrs. Lewis when he stopped
on tho board coveting the well. The
planks were lotlen and Mr. Lewis
dropped Into tlie well a distance of
about llfteen feet. There la fourteen
feet of water In the well, and the dis
tance from the cellar floor to the water
i5 about twelve feet.
Mr. Lewis sank about three feet Into
the water and luckily succeeded In ob
taining a foot hold In between the
stones In the well, as the well Is much
narrower at tin: bottom than at the
top.
Iln had presence of mind enough to
maintain Ills perilous position, while
Mrs. Lewis summoned assistance. Pa
trolman David Davis, who lives near
by, was hustled out of bed, and to
gether wltli several other men who
were passing at the time, they rescued
Mr. Lewi from the well.
It was necessary for one of the men
to go down Into the well and pull
Mr. Lewis out as ho had been some
what overcome by the experience.
When ho was safely out of the well It
was found that he was uninjured save
for a few bruises on his arms, which
werp scratched by coming In contact
with the stones In tlie well.
Mr. Lewis Is over 0 years of age, but
is an exceptionally active man. and
to this fact ho ascribes his escape
from death,
Bootblacks in Trouble.

The Holiday
Trade Rush.
Is now in full swing, and we're as busy as can be in all
departments where holiday outing supplies may be had.
Shirt Waists and Wash Suits are phenomenally active
and there's a reason for it. We've got the patterns,
qualities and styles that knowing buyers want. The
Hosiery, Glove and Notions Departments are also taxed
to their utmost, while those in search of fashionable
headgear at the lowest possible cost, are reaping a har
vest in our Millinery Department. It's the same way
with the men, among the Gents' Furnishing Goods, for
this is an age when right styles and extra values are
appreciated
Bat Perhaps the Most Interesting Item
Of Store News Today Lies Among the
New Creations in Ladies' Neckwear
A Window Full of Latest Novelties
Awaits Yonr Inspection Today and Tomorrow
While a few extremes for lovers of pronouueed styles
may be seen in the department besides all the popular
ideas' that have hit the people's fancy.
Full lines of Fancy Ties in Lawns, Batistes, Mulls,
P. K. Lineu and Wash Silks, especially designed for
the holiday trade, and at prices within the reach of
people of moderate means. Pique stocks aud the "New
Amazon" Collars, with just euough mannishuess about
them to be interesting.
But mere talk on Ladies' Neckwear is just so many
words wasted. Every day brings new ideas from the
many artists who give up their entire time to the crea
tion of novelties and their work must be seen to be
appreciated.

Much complaint Is henrd In West

and says the Joke must bo on somebody

of force to the city water supply In

Is not equal to the demand. They are
anxious that the matter should receive
prompt attention.

the West Scranton police station yes

found In tlie possession of Frank Dog

Wanted: A Rotary Engine
Nothing has stood more In the way
of tho attainment of great speed than
the absence of a true rotary steam
engine. With road-beds such as
modern engineering has provided for
our railroads, rails of steel, and
touooth-runnlng cars, theie would be
almost no limit to the speed nt which
trains might run with safety, but for
thu vlbrutlons produced by the os
cillating Jtwiiii engine. Although
skilful mechanics havo balanced these
moving parts as pcifectly as was pos
sible, the locomotive engineer will tell
you that long before his engine reaches
a speed of a hundred miles nn hour,
Its great muss Is In a quiver from end
to end and ready to fly from the Hacks
upon tho slightest occasion. On high
tpeed steamships tho vibrations of tho
engines are not only a source of great
discomfort to passengers, hut threaten
the strength of tho vessel Itself, Al
though 'tho lnventior quest ur It
has been long and remains, tho practic
able rotary steam engine still remains
an "unlnventcd Invention," Tho near
est approach to a solution Is that of
fered by tho steam turbine nnd tho
uho for that must bo limited. Kvcry

a charming homo In a suburb
town. Mrs. Jack Is from Bos
ton, filled with tho latest Ideas,
blight and inspiring. Jack
well. Jack Is Now Jersey "born and
bred."
"This town," said Mrs. Jack one
evening as they sat by the tire, "needs
In-proving'. I am shocked when I cllno
out to hear nothing but nonsense talk
ed. There nre some clever people here.
I have met them, but when they dlno
out they lef-vo their cleverness at
home with their evcry-day clothes."
"Isn't that what someone wns say
ing about some Christian Science be
lief? That you must change your
clothes when you come In, so as to
leave the germs In your overy-day
clothes."
Mrs. Jack Is tinged with a little
Christian Science, so sho answered,
shortly, "You never get things
straight, dear: tho germs ore germs ot
thought, and"
"Well, never mind the germs: go on
nbout improving dinner.' "
"I think," sho went on, "that wo
should give ronio dinners, four any
way, nnd if we make the first one a
thorough success we can be sure of tho
others. We must Invito both young
end cld-Mly people, a few biftght and a
few ordinary ones, because there are
not enough bright ones to go very
lar. Then we'll have the conversa
tion up to a certain standard nnd keep
it there."
"How will you niannge that'.'" said
her husband. Mrs. Jack made nn np
swen she was evidently thinking of
one.
On I he night of the first dinner party
everything was in proper array. Not a
speck of dust to gladden the eyes of
the gu?sts was visible. The wines
were gaining the light temperature,
and Mrs. Jack, In a Bostonesque din
ner gown, was toauy lor ner gnosis.
"I tell you, Mary." said poor Jack,
"that I can never talk at a runner. I
don't know what to say. Who do I
take out? Old Mrs. Bangs'' I never
rpoke to her. I never know what to
say to anyone."
"Never mind, Jack, dear. 1 know
that you nre positively no good at a
dinner party. Now, listen. I havo
written out a list of Interesting sub
jects and pinned on the wblecloth.
See?'' And sho led him up to tho
table. "Now, don't fall me, but when
ever It seems dull or people nre not
talking, look at this list and talk ot
some of the things. Kvcn If you don't
know nbout them, appeal to mo and
I'll help you out. There Is"
Just then the door bell rang nnd
Mrs. Jock hurried away to greet the
Hi st guest.
After they were seated at dinner
Mrs. Jack asked the guest of honor If
he hml seen the recent views on tno
m-bular hypothesis. The answer to
her question and tho Interest In the
subject wns so slight that sho looked
nt Jack, nnd he came valiantly to tho
rescue. "It does not. seem to me,
Mary." he called nut. "that the meat
has been unurally tough lately."
"What do you mean, Jack?" This
was with a true Boston Intonation.
Jack looked perplexed, but MrsV
Bangs was quite animated, and sho
nnd the elderly man next her had a
discussion ns to butchers and meat
that was eager enough to let Mrs.
Jack get her healings' again.
The next subject she Introduced was
"the recent affair In South Africa.
The Interest In onytuing inn com
Paul's excessive plainness was not
marked, and after a few desultory
views had been expressed, tho con
versation died out.
"Do or die." thought Jock, and look
ed ot his list. "Speak nbout Jane's
aprons." ennie next. "I don't know
what to cay nbout Jane's aprons, but
things seem pretty dull, so I'll clash
ahead as I was told."
"I say. Mary, what's the matttej'
with Jiine's apron? Aren't they all
right? Thy look llko the proper
thing." . , . , .v.
Visions of the husband of her youth
nt Morris Plnlns Asylum danced beforo
Mrs. Jack's eyes. Aprons! What was
the matter with hlin?
When she hud recovered a little sho
heard tho most eldrely man saying
to Mrs. Bangs: "Now enn you Imagine

belt? T always wore them when I was
boy." The elderly woman described
black silk nnd other aprons of their
youth and tho younger ones laughed
merrily. Mrs. Jack rather cleverly
steered tho conversation around to her
point ngaln and asked generally, with
n "don't-all-spcak-at-oncc" air: "Whti
has read the 'History of Papacy In
the XIX Century?' " After expressing
odmlrntlon for the work ot Prof. Nlp
pold, there was nnother silence, broken
Ity ono of tho young men, who said:
'What a thin old gentleman tho Popo
Is?"
Oood-hearted ohj Jack rushed to tho
roM-ue and broke the deadly sllenco
,wiih: "Havo any of you had trouble
with getting good butter lately?"
Tho Hood gates of conversation wero
opened ami young nnd old sailed out
on the stream. Boarding school, col
lege club, summer hotel nnd "gilt
edge" butter was discus-sod and talked
of, nnd nmld peals of laughter the
dinner was ended.
The men .smoked, going as they
pleased conversationally, nnd the
ladies In the drawing. room carried on
tho conversation on the lines laid down
by their host at dinner.
After every one had gone Jack said,
with an nlr ot conscious rectitude,
"Well, Mary, that dinner went oftJ
pietty well, didn't It?"
"Jack," she said hystorlcallly.
"where did you put your list, anil why
did you talk of such awful things?"
"Awful things? Why. I talked
about every single thing you wrote
down, nnd I thought I kept them go
ing pretty well. Old Mrs. Bangs
squeezed my hand when she left and
she wished she could always sit by
mo nt dinner. Th. - all said It was a
jolly dinner."
But what made you talk nbouij
meat, and Jane's alliens, and Oh,
Jack! It was too dreadful!" "
"fit-eat Scott. Mary, didn't you glvo
me the list. Here It is. See! It be
gins 'Speak nbout tough meat: speak
about Jane's aprons; hist butter from
grocer's bad ' I talked about thorn
all Just as you asked 1110 to. and If I
hadn't I think your dinner party
would have been pretty dull."
Mary took the leaf. It was her
memorandum for tho dav. On the back
of It sho had written the list of sub
jects for .Tack. I'nfortunately, or for
tunately (It depends upon the point
of view), In pinning It on the table
cloth the memorandum side was up
permost. Their guests are talking still of that
delightful dinner of Mr. nnd Mrs. Jack

FLESH A NATURAL FOOD.
There Is no doubt of the fact that an
exceslve use nf ahiiol acts on the sys
tem as a direct poison and produces'
most disastrous efforts, and to eat too
much beef deranges digestion and thus
Interferes with thought; but further
than this theie seems to bo no grounds
for Mpcclallzatlon. I have often heard
It claimed that eating of flesh tends
to turn man Into a predatory animal
of a carnivorous character that Is,
to make him a lion, a tiger, or a hyena,
but It appears more reasonable to
suppose mat tho lion feeds on flesh
because It Is his natural foood, rather
than the eating of ilesh made a lion
out of him Instead nf a gazelle I don't
know how many billions of ycais you
would havo to feed a gazelle on flesh
beforo It would be turned Into a lion;
nor could I calculate how many years
you would havo to feed a Hon on
cerealM beforo you could turn him Into
a gazelle. Kvorybody's Magazine.
