will please stick like leech to their

us on the street. We have taken
considerable pleasure IN their So
ciety-a pleasure which we fatter
ourselves has been mutual-but this
can no longer be permitted to go on.
We trust that our mOtive-which
is pure cowardice-will not be mis-
construed. Somebody perishes in
gloriously every day for being on
speaking terms with married women,
and we do not care to have cur turn

THE sHOE-BLACKS DOG.

The following is from Chambers
anecdotes of Dogs Am English
officer, who was in Paris in 1915.
mentions the case Of a dog belong
ing to a shoe-black. which brought
customers to its master. This it did
in very ingenious and scarcely
honest manner. The officer. having
occasion to cross one of the bridges
over the Seine. had his boots. which
had been previously polished. dirted
by a poodle-dog rubbing against
them. He, in consequence, went to
a man who was stationed on the
bridge and had them cleaned. The
same circumstances having occurred
more than once. his curiosity was
excited, and he watched the dog
He saw him roll himself into the
mud of the river. and then watch for
a person with well-polished boots.
against which he contrivcd to rub
himself. Finding that the shoe
black was the owner of the dog. he
taxed him with the artitice; and after
little hesitation. he confessed that
he had taught the dog the trick in
order to procure customers for him
self. The officer being struck with
the dogs sa@acity. purchased him at
high price. and brought him to
England He kept him tied mp in
London some time. andthen released
him, The dog remained with him a
day or two, and then made his es-

THE AYONDALE HORROR.
4 Man on his Dea hbed Confesses that
he was One of six VINO Fired the
Rreasx

A Man on his Deaf hhed Confesses that
he was One of six VINO Fired the
Breaker
From the Scranton Republican.
WnKEsBARRE, Nov. 22-Since the
loss of Avondale coal breaker by fire,
and the additional terrible loss of a
hundred lives from the effect upon the
ventilation of the mine, there has been
endless and frlitless speculation as to
it's cause, and the profound mystery
which shrouded it at the time has since
enveloped it, and while the story which
reaches us comes from no authoritative
source, it is still SO generally circulat-
ed that we feel justified in giving it for
what it may be worth.
A man who lived somewhere near
Grand Tunnel died from the effects of
small pox last Friday night. In his
last moments he SAID to those about
him that there was something OH his
mind which troubled him, and he could
not die at rest with himself until he
told it. He went on to say that the
Steuben (Avondale) breaker was never
fred by accident, but that he was one
of party of six who fred it.
Then giving his own name he under
took to give others, but could only ar
ticulate what was understood to be
Michael" when fainting fit attacked
him from which he did not rally, dying
shortly after.
1t will of course never be known what
he intended to divulge, but he has GER
tainly left enough behind him to con-
firm the belief of some who have held
that the burning of the breaker was
through foul means, and it may open
the way to find out whether there is
really any foundation for the belief.
And should investigation show that
there was foul play, we hope that not
a stone will be left unturned to bring
the wretches, who could plan and carry
out so awful and dastardly scheme,
TO summary and effective retribution.

4 Strange EXnedition.

An expedition OF rather strange
character sailed from Oswego last
Tuesday afternoon, the particulars of
which we find in the Oswego Times. 1t
appears that the Government of Florida,
III its anxiety to open up and develop
the. interior of that State, ha offered a
large land-grant to any party that will
make Pease Greek navigable from its
A. G.. Nation, of Oswego, with an aim
to possessing himself of this tempting
parcel of land, has given the matter
serious thought, and has arrived at the
conclusion that good dredge, in the
hands of an energetic Yankee crew, can
do the necessary work.
The first point to settle was the most
economical way of transporting men
and materials to the field of action
After deliberation it was decided to sail
the expedition flom Oswego to Pease
Creek, Florida. Accordingly, the s. S.
Ellsworth, vessel capable of passing
through the locks of the Erie Canal,
was built, and fitted with boiler, en-
CINE and hinged masts. The Ellsworth
was loaded with large stock of pro-
visions, groceries, etc, two large port
able saw mills, and two immense shin
gle machines, with all the necessary APP
pliancas for working them. The expe-
dition consisted of Messrs. Mattoon
and fourteen men.
On arriving at New York some addi-
tons will be made to the outfit, when
the vessel will start for its Southern
destination. The route laid out is
through the Delaware and Rariton and
Chesapeake Canals to the Chesapeake
Bay; down the bay, and through
Hampton Roads, to Norfolk, Va;
thence by way of the Dismal Swamp
Canal, to Wilmington, n. G. From
this point straight course will be ia
ken to the Florida coast and the ocean;
thence around the Florida Keys to
Charlotte Harbor, to which Pease
Creek is tributary. The distance to be
traversed is about three thousand miles.
The funds of the expedition are to be
replenished, it is expected, by using
the vessel as a trader between the
Keys, Cuba, and the ports along the
coast.
1t has been fully ascertained that
Pease Greek will have to be 'dredged
two feet deeper for about sixty miles.
The land which is to reward the sue
cessful adventures, lies on both sides
of the creek, and hence if the required
dredging takes place, the grant will be
greatly improved in value, and will be
brought into market at once. 1t must
be acknowledged that this is quite a
hazardous undertaking, but it would
not be surprising if the plan should be
completely successful. If the block
AIDED streams of the South and the
waste lands contiguous thereto, are
ever made useful, we believe that it
will be owing to just such enterprising
Northerners as compose this Oswego
expedition.

Low lies the head in the quiet grave
Cold is the heart go true and brave,
why do weep?)
Never again shall that dear head ache,
Never again shall that true heart break,
Never again shall those sad eyes wake
From that calm sleep
Four long years in the grave at rest
Tired hands folded across the breast,-
(Why do l weep?)
Feet that had ranged the Wild world DER.
Eyes that had ached for the better shore,
(Nhy do ! weep?)
pale, cold lips that fain would kiss
@ heart and brain that hourly miss

My image keep.
See where II lies in my open palm
Thrilling my soul like silent psalm,

Tangled with kisses and wet with tears,
Nursed on my heart for four long years,

The Russian Army.

The Russian army Is now undergo
ing reorganization. A semi-official
Russian journal publishes some details
which, it states, have been obtained
from the most authentic sources. -
Henceforth the Russian forces will be
divided into troops Of the line and local
troops. In time Of war there will also
be formed troops of reserve, and in case
of extreme urgency national militia
will be called out The troops of the
line will retain, with a few variations,
their present organization. The local
troops will be organized upon a perfect
" new basis. Until now they have
been composed of very heterogeneous
elements. They included regiments,
battalions, and companies for special
fortress service, battaliOns for district
service, local companies, squadrons,
and batteries for reserve, ana others.
This diversity of organization and de-
nomination Will now cease. The chief
object of these local troops under their
new organization will be to provide in
time of war cddrcs for troops ofreserve
infantry and artillery, and regiments
dc mdrchc of all arms. During peace
the local troops will be employed III
home duties, IN the instruction eff re-
cruits. and periodical assemblages of
men on furlough and in the reserve. In
time of war the army will, according to
the scheme laid down, amount to /, 653, :
1893 men, with 50,954 officers of all
ranks. OF that force there will be in
European Russia 1921 officers and
], 1892, 543 men in the Caucasus there
will be 4,071 officers and 1921 men.
The total number of battalions will be
raised to /. 293. and of squadrons of
cavalry to $50. The number of guns
of the artillery corps is to be 2,574. OF
this total there is to be allotted to Eu-
squadrons of cavalry, and 2,27S guns !;
to the Caucasus. 1876 battalions, 20
squadrons of cavalry, and l02 guns. In
time of peace there will be under arms
81, 707 officers, and 40, 600 men, in ad-
dition to which viii be the 81, 600 men
temporarily included in the district
companies of European Russia. 70
these figures, however, must be added
the Cossack troops Of the national mil
itia In the event Of a European war
the calculations relate only to the Cos
sacks OF the Don, who would furnish
66 regiments of cavalry and ii batter
les of artillery or $4,000 and ll6 guns.
Excluding the local troops and the mill
itla, there would be always inreadIness
for mobilization in European Russia
S76 battahons of infantry, 9+S, $50 Off
GERS and men, $50 squadrons ofcavalry
and 1896 sofmas Of Cossacks with lC9,-
600 horses, 2, 44S guns with 81, 500 MIN,
and Is hattahons of engineers with 49,,
GOO men. If to these figures are added
the statfs of the engineers and artillery
parks. 81, 600 men, and OF the military
hospitals, Il, 500. the total OF troops
available for active service would
amount TO /. 234. 460 men.

Norwich, Conn, Nov. 22.--The
steamer City of New London, Captain
Brown, of the Norwich and New York
line, took fire about half-past four
o'clock, on the river Thames, five miles
below the city. The flames were first
discovered issuing from one of the ven-
tilators The captain was on deck and
ordered the boat anchored. Efforts
were Immediately made to extinguish
the flames, and after ashort tine were
apparently successful. A rigid exam
nation discovered no traces of fire.
The anchor was hoisted and the boat
proceeded up the river When about
three miles below the city, abreast of
the mouth of the Poquehannock Cove,
fire was discovered in some cotton
which was on board
The donkey pumps were started, and
the captain and engineer, aided by the
crew, in less than one minute had three
streams on the fire Despite all the
exertions the fire spread with great
rapidity, and soon enveloped all the
forward part of the boat. The cap
tain, seeing all efforts to extinguish the
fire were useless, ordered the boat
beached, but the engineer could not
start the engine. The donkey pumps
were, however, still kept at work until
the engineer notified the captain that
he feared an explosion of the boilers,
in which event all would be lost. The
spread of the flames had in the mean
time cut off all communication with the
boats, and rendered life prese,vers in
accessible. The passengers and
crew then threw themselves into
the water, clinging to such por-
tons of the cargo and boat as had fall
en- overheard. Those who were aple to
swim had not much difficulty in reach
ing the shore. Some were picked up
by boats from floating pieces of cargo
in an exhausted condition and taken to
farm houses in the vicinity, where they
were cared for and resuscitated. Some
half dozen of the crew and passengers
are still missing, and, 1t Is feared, lost,
among whom is c. b. Rogers, we'll

your reporter visited the wreck he
found it lying about fifty to seventy
five feet from the river bank, with her
bow down stream, still burning fiercely,
with no hope of saving anything of
consequence Everything above her
deck is already consumed.

down from the city, but too late to be
of service, The wreck has since drift
