A terrible tragedy has been enacted
at Elsinore. It seems that the widow
of the late Thomas P. Hamlet married
4,er husbands brother. James Q. Ham,
let. This SO annoyed her son, Col.
Hamlet, that he took to hard drink. and
in Q fit Of delirium tremens, declared
he saw the ghost of his father, the late
Thomas p, and that the ghost informed
him that his father had been murdered
by James Q. Col. Hamlet had been
affianced for some time to Miss Ophelia
Polonius, daughter of Judge Polonius,
of the supreme court of Denmark.
Col. Hamlet imagined he had heard
O mouse behind q screen, and, Selling
carving-knife from the dinner-table,
plunged il into the screen, behind which
Judge Polonius was concealed, TO keep
Col. Hamlet from mischief. Judge
Polonius was killed by the knife. An
evening or so afterward, at some private
theatricals. Col. Hamlet behaved so
rudely that his mother, uncle and Miss
Ophelia Polonius we're compelled to
leave the room. Col. Hamlet's conduct
so preyed upon Miss Ophelia that she
drowned herself. At her burial Col.
Hamlet jumped into the grave. and her
brother followed him; a most unseemly
fight took place, resulting in the two
drawing knives and stabbing each
other, and. just before dropping, Col.
Hamlet stspping his uncle. James @.
Hamlet.
All three died.

Sadness OF Vlere.sIne Funeraia


The dead are carried to their last
resting.place at night No one mist
be shocked during the day. while in the
midst of sunshine, and light, and gayety,
by reminder of our inevitable doom
by o thought OF how some day there
will be no sunshine or gayety for us in
this bright world.
A funeral in Florence is ono Of the
saddest OF sad spcctacles. with It's pro-
cession OF priests and boys in draggled
gowns that oncc were white, carrying
large candies, which drip their waxen
tears along the road-or would do so, il
they We're not caught as they fall in
little cups, carried by more boys and
priests, chanting, or rather whining
monotonously, as they step briskly
along, with most Indifferent air. One
can Judge somewhat of the wealth Of
the departed by the number of candles
furnished. The shorter the purse, the
fewer the candles, until at last the very
poor are thrown into cart. carried
outside the gates of the city, and shuiiled
into pit, one on top of the other-a
sight 10 make the angels weep!
One of the most grievous character
istics, TO me, of Florentinc funeral is
the absence of any relative or friend Of
the deceased. Not one creature who
loved or cared for him to follow him to
his journeys end, or to shed one tear
over the grave of q lost companion ;
eft, to lie almost thrown into the
ground by q few priests, who some
times, it is to be feared, look upon the
ceremony as a disagreeable, though
profitable task, to be got over a. soon
as possible.

Ono Thousand Dollars and Two Gold
Watches stolen.
Some time after two o'clock this morn
ing thief entered the sleeping apartment
of ]. B. Lebkicher, who keeps a saloon at
the corner of Chestnut and Market street
and stole almost 81, 900 in money and two
valuable gold watches. The circumstances
as they are reported to US are as follows
Owing to the crowds now in the city at
tending the German festival, and the late
hour at which many Of them and of
our own citizens, we're on the
street last night, the saloon was
not closed until O'Clock this morning.
At that hour Mr.. Lebkicher, went to bed,
and his friend DR.. A. Wassen, dentist, of
York, slept with him, Mrs. Lebkicher and
lady friend sleeping in another room.
When the parties got up in the morning it
was found that the pockets of DR.. Was
sen and Mr.. Lebkicher had been rihed !;
that about 5000 in money and valuable
gold watch had been stolen from DR..
Wassen and $25 and gold watch from
Mr.. Lebkicher. Certificates of deposit and
other valuable papers in Mr.. L. g pocket
were not taken. DR.. Wassen's rifled
pocket book was found in the back yar6.
1t is not known how the thief gained
entrance to the house. It may be that he
was concealed inside before the house was
closed. No locks were broken, but the
back door, which was locked on the inside
when the house was closed, was found to
be open when the family arose in the
morning. The matter has been placed in
the hands Of detectives.

A stranger visiting the Pitman Grove

that you can give up all to God, stand

Then Brother Inskip spies a man who is

and says: "Come, brother. Yes, you, l

now and give all to God?' The man rises
and Brother Inksip continues "Ae's up

THE STRIKE.


Not = Particularly Bright Prospect for the
Operators.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The Western
Union officials said this morning that the
wires were not tampered with last
night and consequently there was no de-
lay in getting at work this morning.
They say that there is now very little pros.
pect that tho brotherhood will obtain
what it has demanded. It is said that
there are many among the striking opera
tors who have begun to feel that it is use
less to continue the fight any longer and
they predict that q failure of the strike
will be the death of the Brotherhood of
Telegraphers.
The strikers Sock An Interview.
At noon to- day a committee of six
striking operators, formerly employed by
the Western Union telegraph company,
waited on General Eckert and asked for
an interview, which was granted. It is
not known what proposition they have to
advance.
The committee said that their call was
not to be considered as weakening on the
part of the brotherhood. Their pur-
rose was to inquire on what terms the
men would be taken back into the service
Gen. Eckert says he would Recommend
that those now out should apply to their
respective superintendents as to the terms
for resumption OF work.

Aon for the Judges.
WATKINS, N. Y. Aug. 15.-In the first
trial heat of the professional boat race
this morning the contestants were Roas,
Plaisted Grefan, Les and Courtney. Ross
secured fine lead. Courtney, who was
fourth getting away drew up to third
place very easily and was soon con.
testing for second plaoe, but Leo
steered directly across Courtney's course
20 that at the half mile they had almost
looked oars and Courtney had virtually
ceased to exert himself. They rowed along
side for nearly mile before Lee would
take his own course. Ross won the heat
in 1912 Lee second and Courtney third.
The crowd howled its disappointment, as
this would shut Courtney out OF the.
second trial heat, and also out of any
contest with Hanlon. Courtney claimed
second place on account of Lee's give out.
Judges have not yet decided the point.
