John W. Osler, haker, No. 113 West
Eighth street, with his family mysteriously
disappeared from home early Thursday
morning, leaving behind an army of
anxious crtdi' ors with claims amounting
to $4,000. Mr. O5ler conducted a first
class bakery, was doing large tusiness
and appeared to be successful. Recently
some of his creditors have been pressing
their claims ana few days before hi5 de-
parture the sheriff levied on his effects.
Aside from these facts there is no other
cause known for Mr.. oser's sudden dis
appearance. Philadelphia flour dealer
loses $5 coo by Mr. OsIer's failure, and
quite as much more will be lest by credi-

from Camden, from which place it ia
alleged he left by moonlight to avoid

THE great floods that have Inundated
the Western States, destroying an immense
amount of property and causing great
loss of life, can be traced almost directly to

THERE was quite tempest IN teapot
at Paterson, N. j., last week. 1t was the
occasion of the graduating exercises of
the high school. Most of the class was COM
posed of Sweet girl graduates" One of
these was Miss Hopper, colored girl of
both brain and heft-she tips the beam at
210. OF course the burning question with
the girls was, "What shall we wear?' Above
all, the white girls, who were vexed at hav-
ing to appear on the stage with her,
wanted to distinguish themselves from
Miss Hopper in the matter of dress, mas
much as that young colored lady had dis
tinguished herself in certain studies above
her fellow schoolgirls. Miss Hopper de-
cided that pearl gray silk would be the
correct thing for her to wear Upon this
the other girls decided to all wear white.
This piece of strategy was so cunning that
the girls couldn't keep the secret and it
became known to Miss Hopper, whereupon
she gave out that she had
changed her mind and intended to wear
white, too. When this came to the ears
of the white girls great was their constcr-
nation. 1t was too late to change their
dresses, and 'it would be too bad, SO it
would" they vowed, to appear on the stage
arrayed in the same color as Miss Hopper.
Some of them tried to have their dresses
changed others concluded to wear their
Sunday dresses, and others decided to ap-
pear in their white gowns. When the class
stepped on the stage to take part in
the opening chorus, Miss Hopper appeared
in her pearl-gray silk, and was greeted with
ripple Of applause from the large
audience. She had outwitteed her class
mates. Some Of them wore white, one
wore blue, another wine color and another
pink. The audience, to whom the whole
story was known, enjoyed the discontinue
of the white girls, and when Miss Hopper
stepped forward to read her essay, "In a
Rut," she was greeted with deafening ap-
plause. She had gained great victory.
PRISON life in many of the States pris-
ons and penitentiaries in this country
seems to be as horrible as convict life in
Siberia. The revelations of the cruelties
and barbarities practiced in the prison at
Sing Sing, N. Y, is enough to bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of the most
hardened prison keeper. The unfortunate
creatures confined there are overtasked
under the contract system, and then tor
tured with the paddle because they fail
70 do their tasks.
Far to the South comes an official report
that shows that the penitentiary of Ala
bama is little less than hell on earth 10
this State the convicts are farmed out ia
contractors, many of them to work in the
coal mines and on railways. The contract
ors have full control over them. Twenty
per cent. Of the convicts so employed died
in the year. The convicts employed on
farms, about hall, had better time, as only
