A Last Greeting.

Among the numerous notable sympathetic
creations of the celebrated artist, Gabriel
Max, who stands FIRST among the painters of
the Munich school, are the touching scenes of
the blind girl holding the lamp for her fellow
believers to descend into the secret catacombs,
and that of the poor motherless child, "Jnia
Capuiet," carried by the nun, also the crushed
widow compelled to look on the auction of her
distrained property. But by many, A Last
Greeting" is considered his masterpiece. IL
represents lovely maiden, whe has been cast
into the arena, in pagan Rome, to be devoured
by the savage beasts, for the delectation of the
inhuman mob. She leans against the en-
circling stone wall at her feet, broken by
their fall, lie some simple wild flowers i'm
ploringly she looks up, seeking the hand from
which they came. Her whole life, like some
gigantic panorama, swiftly flashes through
her feverish brain, every act stands out with
painful distinctness. Deeply she realizes how
often that same strong hand, which now alone
bestows last farewell, had been profered.
Ably it would have protected, beside ensuring
comfort, happiness, and health, had she not
carelessly and dis6ainfully turned away.

nesses peculiar to their sex are prone to just

A Temperance Report.

The Dauphin county Grand Jury
compliment the temperance movement
in their report as follows:
"That the number of bills passed upon
has been fewer in number, and of a less
aggravated character, than is usual for
the county of Dauphin, and would
naturally be looked for in the present
depressed condition of the country
They have amounted in the aggregate to
fifty four; of which forty-two were re-
turned true bills and twelve ignoramus.
The Jail too has been freer of in
mates committed for trial at court than
has been usual at this season for many
years past. Among the causes which
have produced this marked change for
the better, in the opinion of this in
quest, two are prominent. First, the
temperance movement which has taken
so extended and forcible hold upon the
people of the country.
The very marked change, in the num-
ber and character of the offenses brought
before this inquest, and the less number
of commitments for trial at the county
prison, speaks so forcibly and practically
for the good accomplished by the wide
spread temperance movement of the last
few months, that we bid its promoters
God speed and urge upon the communi-
ty to sustain and encourage it, and the
interest of law and order, as well as the
saving of expense to the county, in the
trial, conviction and punishment of
those urged to crime by the use of strong
drink"

Fatal Accidents.

The Lancaster NetU Era of last Mon
day records fatalities occurring in that
county recently, MS follows:
Another family has been thrown into
deep distress 10y the reckless handling of
firearms. Mr.. Christian Croft, of West
Earl township, has two daughters-Liz-
ze, aged thirteen years, and younger
one. On last Wednesday evening these
girls found the coat belonging to their
fathers hired man, and feeling some
thing hard in one of the pockets took it
out, prompted by curiosity. 1t proved
to be a revolver, and the younger girl,
pointing it playfully at her sister, said,
" m going to shoot YOU" and pulled
the trigger. The weapon was discharg
ed and the bullet went flying through
the girls flesh under the collar bone.
DIR. NJ. w. Hurst, of Earlville, was sum-
moned and probed for the ball, but did
not succeed in finding it, The girl lies
in a critical condition, another example
of the folly (if not eriminality) of hand
ling firearms in careless, threatening
manner, without knowing whether load
loaded or not.
a five year old son of George II. Rut-
ter, residing at the Gap, this county,
met with terrible death this morning.
The mother of the child left him alone
for a few moments, while she went to
milk the cows, and during her brief ab-
sence the child began playing with the
fire, its clothes caught fire, and in less
to death The affair has cast a gloom
over the entire community in which the
family resides, and the parents are al
most distracted at the sudden and terri
BILE disaster which robbed them of loved
and loving child.

An Irish Hero.

Prominent among the heroes of the
Metropolis tragedy stands the humble
and unpretending Irishman, Timothy
O'Brien. By his own unaided exertions
he rescued from the breakers nearly fifty
persons. This is the second wreck from
which he has escaped with his life, the
first being that of the steamer Golden
Gate, which was lost off Acapulco, on
the Pacific coast, in 1868. Soon after the
Metropolis struck on Thursday morning
and began to break up, there was gen.
eral rush for the rigging. O'Brien Sc
cured position high on the main mast,
but when it became apparent that the
only chance for life was to swim ashore,
he boldly jumped from the rigging over
the heads of others,a and struck out for the
beach, which he reached safely. Realiz-
ing the peril of his fellow-passengers,
O'Brien hastened over to the Currituck
club house, three-quarters of mile dis
tant, procured a pair of overalls and
some dry matches, returned and built
several fires. The sea was full of strug-

Thousands of Lives Lost.

A dispatch from Pelxin, China, con-
veys information of horrible catastro-
phe at Tientsin. The asylum for women
and children in that city has been almost
totally destroyed by fire and two thous-
and persons in the institution perished.
[Tientsin, the scene of this wholesale
horror, is a populous city at the head of
navigation on the Peiho, siXty-five miles
southeast of Peking, of which it is the
port. The disaster reported above has
seldom been equalled in the number of
lives lost Probably the greatest destruc-
ton of human life through fire was that
which occurred in the year 1912, when
the old London bridge and the buildings
in its vicinity were visited by terrible
conflagration, and 5000 people persisted,
most of them by drowning. They were
hemmed in by the flames on both sides
of the Thames, and there was nc escape
from this destructive element except the
equally fatal water. Another of the
most terrible disasters on record was the
burning of the cathedral in Santiago,
Chilli, on December 8, 1868, when 1900
persons, principally women, were burn
ed to death. This fatality, however, as
we'll as the one just reported, has been
exceeded in China. By the burning of
a theatre in Canton, in 1S45, about 5000
lives were lost.

and invited friend, named Miss Will

about among some clothing an old pis-

Robbing the Dead.

In the early part of last fall A. II.
Sinner, prominent politician of
Wilkesbarre, died, and his remains were
removed to Kimble's, a small settlement
on the Lackawaxen River, in Pike Co.,
Pennsylvania, for interment. With him
were buried very valuable pin, a set of
studs, and ring heavily set with dia-
monds. The plate upon the coffin was
unusually large and of gold. 1t has
now been discovered that the grave has
been opened and the valuables removed.
