A Shabby Umbrella.

Strange how ashamed a man will be
of a shabby umblella-one of those
slouchy, corpulent affairs with the
bleached out covering divorced from a
third Of the rib tips, and a shoe string
clasped around its waist in lieu Of the
long vanished elastic! How he will
hide it as far as possible under his arm,
run it up his coat sleeve, tuck it away
beneath the folds of his coat, keep it
between himself and the wall, and
when he gets in the car how careful he
is to dispose Of it ii the darkest corner!
And ii, perchance, anybody spies it,
how quick he is to head criticism by
explaining that it is the enc he. keeps in
the office-so convenient to have
one there you know nobody will steal
-ha; ha! Or maybe, he will go a step
further-the lying rascal-and say he
borrowed it, and If he didn't return it
old Grimshaw would never forgive him
-ha! ha! But when the clouds lower
and the rain-drops begin to patter, who
so at ease, so enyied, SO proud and hap
by, as the man with the shabby umbrella
as be stalks along between rows of I'M
protected men and women, with his de-
spised umbril dripping its liquid har-
vest Unfortunately or the just and
unjust? Verify, there is nothing in
this life wholly good or wholly bad.

Read this. Girls.

Learn to darn stockings neatly, and
see that your own are in order. Don't
let a button be off your shoes minute
longer than needed. 1t takes just about
a minute to sew one on, and oh how
much heater foot looks in a trinity
buttoned shoe than it does IN lop-sided
affair, with half the bottoms off. Every
girl should learn to make the simple
articles of clothing, and we know a lit
tie girl of seven who could do all of this
and alSO make the whole of blue cal
leo dress for herself, and piece a bed
quilt. She was not an overtaXed child
either, but merry, romplng INDUCED,
only daughter. But she was "smart,"
and she did not die young either. In
deed we have seldom known children
"too smart to live" Very few ever die
of that complaint, whatever their
grandmothers may think. So never be
afraid of bit of over doing the bust
ness daily. Once get in the habit of
locking over your things, and you will
like it wonderfully. You will have the
independent feeling mat you need not
await for anyOne's convenience in re-
pairing and making, but that you can
be beforehand with all such matters.
The relief to your weary mothers will
be more than you can estimate.

three Was given and at the word "Fire"
both pistols were discharged. Mr..
Gibbs escaped unhurt, but the doctor
was wounded in the left shoulder. 1t
is claimed by the doctors friends that,
being a faultless shot with either pistol
or gun, he could have shot his adver-
sary dead, had he chosen to do so. And
is is claimed that, for private reasons,
he aimed above his opponent. Accord
ing to the agreement, when one was
injured the affair was to end, but after
the first shot the doctor seemed anx-
ious to try his hand again, but the sec
onds would not listen 10 such q propO-
sition. The doctor left the ground with
his friend, having paid no attention to
his wound, other than TO tie two hand
kerchiefs about it. The wound is con-
sldered quite painful, bat not serious.
1t is feared another meeting will re-
suit from this affair between the same
parties, as both seem willing to satisfy
the other, but no doubt the police au-
thorities will have something to say re-
garding this matter.

Gloucester (Mass) Telegram to N. Y. Herald.
There is feeling of relief here over a
report that the government means at
last, and after what seems to everybody
here overmuch delay, to come to the
relief of our fishing interests in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence and the British
America waters. The United States
man-of-war Kearsarge is to proceed at
once 10 those waters to protect our fish
ermen against further outrages, violence
and wrong; and what is thought by our
people of even greater importance, Col.
Fitz J. Babson, collector of this port,
and Mr.. Alfred Foster, of Boston, who
was connected with the Halifax COM
mission, are to 60 out in the Kearsarge
as commissioners, to make an official
report OF what is done wrongfully to
our poor fishermen to prevent them
from using their rights under the treaty
for which the governm ent paid SO many
millions. Mr.. Foster is a lawyer and
knows all the laws Of the case, and will,
it is understood, defend our people in
the colonial courts, where they get very
unfair treatment. Col. Babson knows
more about fishing interest than any
other man in Massachusetts, or in the
United States, and WILDE able to show
precisely what losses they suffer from
the misconduct of the Dominion peo-
pie.
The appearance of the Kearsarge in
the colonial waters will show the people
down there, at least, that our govern
ment does not mean to have our poor
fishermen run over any more. Mat
tiers have come to an intolerable point
down there; we are worse off than be-
fore the five million and half were

The Baltimore Duel.
Baltimore Bulletin, Aug 8.

4 difficulty that has existed between
a welLknown young physician and Mr..
J. W. Gibbs, of j. w. Gibbs & Co., to-
bacco merchants of this city, for the
past three weeks, eliminated this
morning at daybreak in duel with
pistols at point short distance north
of the north or Pimlico entrance to
Druid Hill Park. The duel resulted in
the painful wounding of the young
physician. Some time during the
month of July the two parties had
difficulty near the Rennert house, and
the lie was passed. Nothing further was
thought of the affair, on account of the
doctor being out of town, until several
days ago, when upon his return he was
handed note demanding tatlsfactlon
and stating that no apology would be
accepted. This left the doctor nothing
to do but accept the challenge. The
second of the two parties met on Friday
at Barnam's Hotel and arranged to
meet at a point in Druid Hill Park this
morning.
Mr.. Gibbs was first on hand with his
friend, DR.. Howard Graffiin, and after a
few moments the doctor and his Sec
onds were observed approaching. Some
time was occupied by the seconds IN
endeavoring to satisfactorily arrange
affairs. Neither principal, however,
would make any concessions to the
other. The distance was six PAGES and
the weapons used in the encounter
were Smith & Wesson shot revolvers.
When all was ready, the usual one, two.

TOO MUCH OIL.
4 Shameful and Awful Waste Of Ameri-
can Riches.
Philadelnhia Press


Just at the present time there is a
stagnatlon IN the oil trade that has its
effect in every line of business in the
oil region. The pipe lines declare
their inability to manage the great
volume of oil that is daily brought to
the surface. In consequence, tanks at
many of the wells are full and over
flowing, and the great illumination of
the world is running down the hillsides
and through the valleys o. Mexican
county to waste, at the rate of from
1000 to 5000 barrels per day. In parts
of the region. In order to dispose of the
dangerous combustible fluid. brooks
and streams in the valleys are damned
and the oil accumulated IN a body on
the surface Of the water. A number OF
men then gather about to prevent
the fire from communicating with the
wells or building in proximity, and the
oil is set ablaze. The fires are usually
made in daytime, so as not to alarm
the community with vast fire during
the night. Occasionally, however, the
pools of oil take fire by accident, and
are sometimes lighted by malicious
persons. A number of derricks and
tanks of oil have been burned along the
lines of narrow-gauge railroads which
pass through the actively developed
portion of the field. The fires were
created by sparks from the locomotives.
In several instances, [ understand,
persons who have sustained losses in
this way have proceeded against the
railroad company tor damages. The
cases are now pending in the courts
of the county. The causes of the oil
backing up In such immense quanti-
ties in the producing regions attributed
to the excess of the supply over the de-
mand, primarily, and the lack of fac
iiities for transportation and tankage,
by the pipe line companies. AT the
present time the United and Tidewater
Pipe companies have about 100000
barrels capacity Of iron tankage in this
district attached to the lines, and it is
claimed that this is most entirely oc-
cupied. Iron tankage connected with the
pipe lines is owned largely by individu-
ais and oil-producing companies. Of
course, to the extent of their tankage.
the pipe companies take care of oil be-
longing to the owners of these tanks,
The producers who are losing oil are
afford to build tankage. The general
storage capacity Of the pipe companies
is proportional out to the latter pro-
ducers. But, as already stated, these
tanks are about full. 1t now becomes
necessary for producers to do some
thing effective to check production.

SHE LOVES NE WELL.

If nv fond heart can aught divine,
Her own true heart is surely mine;
In her pure presence, peace so sweet

If this be not true love, and rare

Then drag Gear days III cycles by,
For woman'S love is all a lie!
Though silence often holds US long,
Our hearts e'er sing in sweetest song,
And soul cOmmuneS with soul the while,
And eyes glad glow, and lips still smile.
No vague, wild thought of sad unrest

But every hour we chance to meet,
My heart throbS new with love complete.

She loves me well:

When first her eyes met mine tonight;
Her voice was low-why did dread!

A LARGE number of Russian peasants
are exploring for the treasure of Ivan
the Terrible, which an old docume nt
declares buried in a wood between
Solowizy and Borzy, in the province OF
Smolensk. They have found two gold
horseshoes. but have not yet unearthed
a gold cross weighing thirty-three kilo-
grammes and sacks filled with forty
nine million roubles' worth of coin,
which the explorers expect to find.
Perhaps the enterprise may turn out
as have all attempts to discover the
gold hidden away by Captain Kidd.

CHILDREN must not eat peach kern
els. They contain a deadly poison
called hydrocyanic acid, of which two
thirds of a grain has often been fatal.
Should any sickness occur from eating
peach or other kernels, says the Chris
tian Union, it is we'll to remember that
ammonia is one of the best antidotes.
The patient should be made to inhale
all he can, and a few drops, diluted
with four or five times its bulk of water,
should be given internally.
