\ PROPHETIC WE'LL.
Description of a Curious Hole in the
Ground at BaiOla.

The syndic of ForiO writes a letter
stating that Professor Palmieri has visited
the prophetic we'll at BajOla, near FOriO.
and after examination has come To the
conclusion that a volcanic fumaruola. or
smoke vent, opens into the well. The
VapOr from this fumaruOla is saturated
with sulphur, and is intermittent. When
il is in activity il renders the water of the
well turbid. muddy and OdOrOus of sui
phur. and heightens the temperature, the
vapor from the tumaruOla being as hot as
that of all the other smoke vents in the
island. When the fumaruOla is quiet the
water of the well again becomes
limpid and cold. The professor de
clares that il i'm future this change
IN the water is observed 10 precede
and follow any suDterranean cOmmOtiOn,
il Will be a better indicator of coming
earthquakes in the island than any seis-
mo@raph and he has begged the syndic of
F0rlO and other friends to study and keep
a record of the changes that take place.
Professor Palmieri believes that a seis-
mOgraphic station on the island would be
more useful to science than to the inhab-
itants. There are so many bright and in
nOcent vibrations in the earth that il re-
corded by the instruments the people
would at first live in constant fear, and
then, by long use, become So accustomed
to them that they would not believe in
real danger when it approached, the cry
of wolf would be heard so often that
when the wolf really was at hand no one
would believe it. The water i'm the we'll
which. as reported. became turbid about
the first of this month. cleared again after
the harmless earthquake that took place
lately, 50 that there seems at present to
be no danger, and yesterday no more dis
turbance took place than heavy thunder

PITTSBURG, Oct. IA special from
Bradford, Pa, says that there were no

begin at : o'clock tomorrow morning.
when 600 miners, in the employ of the
Rochester and Pittsburg Railway. will try

The railroad officers fear bloodshed, and

bloodshed. The detectives are accustomed
to deal with roughs, and as most of them
are good shots, they can make terrific
havoc among the strikers. A force Of

Pittsburg last evening, and tweve more,
under command of Captain Foley, arrived
from Chicago tonight. One car con-
tanned twenty mattresses for the use of
the men. The entire force will remain on

1t is reported tonight that every precau-

HAPPY COMMUNITY.
How the People of an Ohio Village Lead
| Lives of Contentment.
C1egeIag1 IJerGId

About 50 miles from Cleveland and {
miles south of Mineral Point, the terminus
of the valley road at the Wheeling june
tion of the Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail
road, there is quaint little old village
known as ZOar, inhabited by a strange
frugal and Industrious people, the happ
est, perhaps, in the world. They know
no care, nothing worries and troubles
them. \ large number Of them never
saw the outside of their beautiful
home, Veritabe paradise, and trouble
themselves little, if any, about the
turmoil and strife of the wicked world
The colony was first founded in 1877 by
Huber and Ackermann, two Germans
the former a native Of Wurtemburg and
the latter hailine from Bavaria. Shortly
afterward, in the same year, they and q
few followers from the same country
formed community and named it ZOar
because they looked upon their home as 6
place of refuge from the world which
they termed SodOm and GomOrrah. The
first two houses which Huber and Acker
man built in 1877 quaint antique struc
tures-are but inhabited by the descend
ants of the two pioneers. They are built
of logs and mortar and contain but one
large room, sparsely furnished. The
windows are small each containing nine
panes of glass about inches square
The roofs are covered with Tile, as are
those of all the houses erected to
1850, when the art of tile making died ont
in ZOar. The inhabitants, who have nc
desire to amass wealth, work for one com
mon end-that is, for the good Of the com
munity, which owns and controls the vii
lage, including thousands of acres of the
richest land in the Buckeye State. The
money goes into one common treasury
and the necessaries Of life, including food
provisions and garments, are furnished 10y
the village officials, consisting of three
trustees and a committee Of five, who are
annually elected by ballot. The village
contains about 800 inhabitants, whicl
number has been the same since 1917, an(
never increases or decreases to any nOta
bic extent. There are no preachers, bu
all the people are deyout, worshiping aftel
the manner of the Friends. The marriage
VOW is held sacred, and the laws are rare
ly broken.

MANCHESTER, n. H., Oct. 13.-The
subcommittee Of the United States SEN
ate Committee on Education and Labor
met on Friday. Thomas Livermore,
agent of the Amoskeag Mills, testified
that the mills used 10000 bales of cotton
yearly, and turned out 55,000,OO0 to co.
100000 yards of cloth, at a cost of between
$5,000,000 to $6,000,000 The cost of labor
was about 80 per cent. of the total cost of
the goods or about 81 100000. The amount
of capital employed in the plant, build
ings, etc, was about equal to the yearly
production. American operatives num-
ber one-fftth of those employed. They are
the best operatives. The operatives were
not discOntented in Manchester. There
had not been a general strike in 30 years.
The principal reason why the New Hamp-
shire mills worked longer hours than
those in Massachusetts was the larger
cost of transportation, which cost $780,
900 yearly more than if the mill was in

in speech, said that it was
necessary to pursue more vigorously
than ever the policy of republican union:
that within the last few months gulf
had opened between the Governmental
Republicans and the IrrecOncilaDles,
owing to the campaign of insults and
calumnies which the Radicals had con-
Quoted against the former party. .'The

4 New Fashionable Game.

Many a staid mother will not let her
daughter play it, though the girl, if shape

AN EXPERT DIAMOND THIEF.
How He Has Nictimized jewelers. in
Chicago-S5O,O 200 His Booty.


For several weeks past one of the
sharpest of diamond thiefs has been
operating here with great success,
having succeeded in relieving several
jewelry houses of $4,000 worth
of precious stones. Among his vic
tins are Otto Young & Co., who have
lost number of sOlitaires amounting to
$4,000, and Giles Brothers d co., who
have missed a stone worth $500 shortly
after receiving a visit from this diamond
expert. His scheme has been to
walk into store and ask
to look at some diamond rings. While
examining them he would take from the
tray the one he wished to steal and place
in its stead cheap ring which he had
concealed in his hand. Then quickly Sc
lecting another and keeping the attention
of the salesman directed to it, he would
inquire the price, agree to take it and ask
that it be laid aside for few moments,
while he went for the money. With a
polite bow he would then take his depart
ure, with the valuable diamond in his
possession, leaving the clerk to discover
his loss

Mems Love and seIf-LOve.


Girls are sometimes admOnished not to
fiirt, because, however pleasant it might
be to them, it might break the hearts Of
those with whom they flirt. Nonsense.
We have heard of victims of blighted af-
fectiOn but never yet came across one.
Time, in this sort Of matters, works won
ders. We doubt whether any man ever
yet died of a broken heart. Men are
more vain than women. There are eX-
ceedingly few of them who are not flat
tered by the idea of some woman falling
in love with them. The lady for the mo-
ment affords them this qualification Of
self-loye. She makes herself as agreeable
as she can. If the vanity of the man
leads him to believe that she has fallen a
victim to his charms, this is his own fault,
not hers. The illusion has raised him
to the seventh heaven for a brief PERIOD
and if the period be short he has been
the gamer. In one of De Bernad's novels
he describes an old captain who lives SUI
premely happy because he fancies that,
years ago, some girl died of broken
heart because he had declined to marry
her. tie carries about her portrait, ana
on all occasions takes il out and weepS
over it. One day, however, he meets the
girl who had not died, but had married
grocer and forgot all about the captain.
lie is in despair. lie can no longer in-
dulge i'm the luxury of grieYing over the
sad fate of the object Of his youthful aflec-
tions. Flirt on, young ladies, and do not
imagine that the amusement will break
the heart Of any one. 1t may wound his
vanity, quite likely, and where this is the
only quality the man has the blow may
stagger him. But it will do him good
show him his real selfishness. So flirt on,
young ladies, but at the same time temper
the blow to tenderness of the youth who is
to receive it.
