smart widows at Saratoga.

Saratoga Letter in the Chicago later Ocean
1t was Chicago lady who won S400 with
which to buy bonbons, or bonnets, which
ever you like. Ladies are getting to be
very fond of betting and they are always
pretty safe in their ventures, since they
never pay if they lose, and several of them
have mpde some "lucky hits" already this
season. 1t is the fashion now, not only
for ladies', but the children also have their
betting books, and are as expert in making
entries therein as any follower of the turf.
1t took Chicago widow to inyeigle be-
witched old widower into betting pair Of
thoroughbreads against a box of cigars.
The widow won, as they usually do and
while we write is this moment dashing by
behind the thoroughbreds on her way to
the lake, with another man by her side.
These widows are indeed the most artful
of creatures, and Saratoga is full OF. them.
There is one pretty and lively woman of
this species here who has two engagements
on hand at the present and several others
impending. She wears two engagement
rings on her little finger, which would be
embarrassing to most feminines, but not to
this sly widow. When lover No. 1 sits at
her side it is his ring which glitters softly
upon her finger. The other ring Is tucked
snugly away in her belt. And if she has
not time to remove the ring she turns it
artfully around so that it appears an insig-
nifcant rim of gold to which nobody could
object. This widow, rs may be supposed,
has numerous correspondence from love
smitten youths, and her collection OF origi-
ginal love-letters is something unique. The
other day she dropped package OF letters
from one of her sweethearts and rival
lover picked it up. This was rather
troublesome for the widow, but, as usual,
she found her way of escape. There chanc-
ed to be another woman with the same
name as her own in the place and she de-
clared the letters belonged to her and ac-
tually sent them to her, having first, how
ever, arranged with her namesake by max
ing her valuable present

From CentraIia.
A COAL MINE CAVES IN.

Much excitement was caused at Centra-
liza on the 10Th inst, by the circulation of n
report that the surface over the workings
OF l.. A. Riley & Co.'S Colliery had caved in,
taking n tenement house with it. The colliery
officials were promptly notified, and Super
intendent Edward Reese hurried to the
scene and found large cracks opened on
the surface around the dwelling of Reese
Davis, which had already moved a foot
out of place, causing the plaster to fall in
nearly all the rooms. Mr.. Reese says that
n pillar of coal commenced to break, caus-
ing two breasts to run into one, and hav-
ing no support for twenty-five yards made
it unsafe. The house might go down at
any moment. The assures extend over
the surface forty yards to another tenement
house, occupied by George Cope, Evans
Williams and George Madara, all of whom
have moved out.

Invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
Of it generally, It's a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts Of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
relreshment of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We knowvery well that most
of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place
But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now, Very well; take a cool
er time, It's cool enough in
the store, when you get hare.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as we'll as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts Of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose you
drop us line. Wen help
, you if we can.

For the past four years the

they set to work to manufacture
an article for less money, but
to contain all the virtues of the

They are now manufacturing

statement Immediately preceding his name
concerning the roll of money, and not for
the allegation of an offer to the Mon
tour Conferces. That somebody offered
the nomination to Montour county for
$1,000, is admitted. Our statement was that
it was by II person who consulted German.
Mr.. Miles personally informs us that it was
not made by or fol- German, and he ought
to know, as he is the person to whom the
offer was made, and who Indignantly re-.
jected it. But our statement WAS made
on what we considered good authority,
that the man who made the offer was seen
comforting with German immediately after
the proposition had been made, and this
allegation is not contradicted by Mr.. Miles
explanation. The question now arises rho

serves punishment to the full extent of the
