Flat; liaising at .fmlilo.
On Saturday evening tiie old town of
.Jeddo was the scene of a patriotic gath
ering, and nowhere were the stars and
stripes ever given a more enthusiastic
greeting than when a handsome Ameri
can flag was thrown to the breeze from
tho top of the fifty-foot polo which had
been erected for the purpose. Tho flag
raising exercises were conducted under
tho auspices of Jeddo Progressive Club,
and right well did the young men in
charge carry out the work of elevating
old glory paying homage to the
national colors.
Over a thousand people had assembled
when the St. Patrick's band and large
delegations from Freelaud and Drifton
arrived at Jeddo. Afterseyeral patriotic
selections by the band, Frank McHugh,
representing tho Progressive Club, open
ed the exercises with an appropriate ad
dress, at tho conclusion of which he in
troduced Rov. T. A. Snyder, pastor of
Jeddo M. E. church. The address of
the divine was one of the host heard on
the North Side in many a day, and the
audience responded to tho sentiments
which he voiced with repeated cheers
and applause.
The news of Commodore Dewey's
great victory in the Philippines made
the occasion still more joyful, and en
thusiasm reigned supreme when the big
starry banner was gracefully unfurled
above tho heads of the assemblage.
Every heart beat in unison with the
stirring strains of the national airs play
ed by tho band, and after cheers for the
colors, for tho (Wo of Manilla and for
the Progressive Club the audience dis
persed. well satisfied that Jeddo's pat
riotism is of the genuine kind.

Three Men Killed at, Dm.yea.
The Ilalstead mine of tiie Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company, at
Duryea, was tiie scene of another acci
dent Thursday evening by which three
men lost their lives. Last week the
surface over the mine caved frn and two
men were entombed. Their bodies are
still in the mine. The cave-in affected
the main shaft of the mine, and last
week men were put to work to repair it.
Tho vvorkinginen wore engaged in relln
ing tho shaft when the accident occurred.
Sbuio heavy timbers were being lowered
into the shaft, when the chain holding
them broke. The timbers struck the
temporay platform upon which the men
were standing, demolishing it. All three
men were precipatated to tho bottom of
tho shaft, a distance of 300 feet.
It was some time before tiieir bodies
could bo taken out. The names of the
victims are John Titus, Stephen Jenkins
and John Monahan. All are married
and leave families.
Fire Sweeps a Little Town.
The little town of Nureuiburg, below
Deringer, was visited by fire at an early
hour yesterday morning, and several of
the principal buildings of tho village
wore in ashes before tho flames were
subdued. It was shortly after midnight
when a kerosene lamp exploded in
Doner's hotel, and the fire spread so
rapidly that the three-story structure
was doomed in a short whilo. Having
no protection against firo. the town was
at tho mercy of the flames. Yannes'
bottling house soon caught and was con
sumed. Dwellings owned by Sylvester
Kline and Mrs. John Nicholas were the
next victims, followed by the warehouse
of Joseph Marchetti and the store of
Breisch Bros. Hazleton and Mahanoy
City were asked for assistance, but none
was given tho little town. The damage
amounts to about $15,000, partially cov
ered by insurance.

NO BRET HARTE HEROES.
The Gold Region* Are Comparatively Free

There is little disorder in the Alaska
and the Klondike regions. The wild
life pictured in Bret Harte's books is
not in evidence, and that author would
vote the place dead slow were he to
visit it. Especially in Canada, where
the mounted police, the best organiz
ed force of its kind in the world, pa
trols the mining regions at regular in
tervals, there is little disturbance.
Rossland, just over the border north
of Spokane, is a good illustration of
this. Last year there were 7,000 min
ers in Rossland and only one police
man. Yet the town had no serious
trouble. The worst fuss that occurred
was when a drunken negro got into
a fight with a colored woman and
struck her several times with his fist.
On this side of the line he might have
received two months. The Canadian
court promptly sent him up for six
years. ,
Pulls do not go with the Canadian
police nor with any of the depart
ments of justice. The miners under
stand this thoroughly and have a
wholesome respect for law and order.
There are no barrooms pure and sim
ple. Drinks cannot be served except
in a bona fide hotel where guests
lodge for the night and there is a res
taurant serving regular meals. In
dians are not allowed to have liquor
under any circumstances. Few of
fences will get a man into the peni

to the aborigines. There is no mercy
shown whatever.
A Woman IIM Saw 7111 1 Hand.
"A brawny woman clad in blue cot
tonade waist and skirt, who is able to
run a saw mill engine as well as any
man in the business, is rather an un
usual sight," said Walter Wade, of
Louisville, Ky., "but that is just what
I saw in a Tennesse woods a few
weeks ago. The female engineer's
name is Annie Fables, and she told
me she had been doing a 'full hand's'
work at the mill for six years. Five
years ago she decided she could run
the engine, and the mill boss told me
she had been one of the most careful,
as well as one of the most competent
he had ever seen.
"Mrs. Fables lo3t her husband six
years and a half ago, and a few months
afterward she asked for a place in the
mill where hor liege lord had been
employed. She began working as an
off-bearer, and in a year and a half I
was put in charge of the monster j
piece of machinery which furnished
motive power for the large circular
and straight saws. She has all along '
earned a man's wages and has been i
able to support and give her seven
fatherless little ones a good common
school education. She is fond of the
hard labor, and has lost but five days
during her connection with the mill,
and then she was ipinistering to a
sick child."

| It recently took two powerful steam
pumps a week to fill the largest wine

feet deep.
j Of course it is in California, that
I State of big things, that this wonder
is to be seen—down at Asti by the
i Russian River valley, and the lake it
self is the blending of the juices of
grapes from a thousand vines. As a
system of blending wine it is in this
respect as much a wonder as in point
of quantity and place of keeping.
It another proof also that neces
sity is the mother of invention, for if
it had not been that the colonists
could find no way to dispose of their
wine in a profitable manner, owing
to its abundance, it is probable the
lake would never have been created
and another wonder thus lost to the

man when compared with this Cali
fornia creation. One could go boating
on this lake very comfortably, al
though it would be but a short ride.
A steam launch would find room
enough to steam back and forth and
possibly turn around.
This is how the tank was really
built. First an excavation was made
in the rocky hillside. Next a wall of
concrete two feet in thickness was put
in the floor and sides. Then came
the laying and glazing of the cement.
This was not all. Had the lake been
left open at the top impurities must
have found their way into it, not to
mention the deluge that comes in what
California knows as the rainy season.
All around the sides big steel gir
ders were put in place, and on these
rests the sectional cover of the lake.
This is so constructed that not a ray
of light can penetrate into this vast
quantity of wine, and it mellows and
ripens just as if it were in the most
deep down vault that can be found

families of men who may meet with fatal
accidents In tho mines and also those
who may be Injured while at work. All
who sign to join will contribute one
day s wages which will go into the treas
ury. In case of an accident another

and the company contributing as much
as the total contribution for thoir share.

Naval officers say that it is a great
piece of good luck for Commodore Dewey
that the cabin Is cut. While they go no
further they probably think that if the
wires to the Whito House were also
severed tho war would probably last a
fraction as long. It was 110 wisli of the
president to light a battle in Manilla
waters. 111 fact he had made up his
mind to call the Asiatic squadron back
home when an unexpected turn of affairs
caused the governor of Hong Kong to
order tho American vessels out the har
bor. They had no place to go and wore
consequently sont to Manilla. Thus
England may bo said to ho indirectly
responsible for tho good luck of Com
modoro Dewey in having a chance to
face the Spaniards.
Dewey's Relatives Robbing Up.
From the Hazlutoo Sentinel.

ago In I'ittston. He was a step brother
of Commodore Dewey, they having had
the same mother. Loron Dewey was
the grandfather of George E. Dewey,
