"a Friend of the Boys" in Sun

say regarding the conduct of the
Young gentlemen who attended the
Exchange Hotel Hop, and although
she was not a participant in the

to say the least.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I was not "dis-
gnsted" at the manner in which the
proceedings of the "well remem-
bered night" were gone through
with, nor wac my heart caused to
"beat' from anything save the JOY
and pleasure l then and there ex-
perienced, and for the life of me |
cannot see why "a Friend of the
Boys" should say that "it appeared
to the girls that something outside
of the dancing room was more at
tractive than themselves, who en-
Dyed part of the evening dancing
with each other"
Ills true the Young men were not
I'll the time in the young ladies'
presence, but they were anxious to
lance at all times and so expressed
themselves. Because the young Ia
lies told them they wanted to
lance by themselves is no reason
o believe that ''the boys" were not
'attractive"-oh, no /! far from it.

Accident at tho Rising Sun.

Yesterday morning, q miner by the
name of J I'm Angove, came to his
death by falling from q bucket while
oeing hoisred out of the shaft of the
Rising Sun mine. 1t appears he
gave the wrong signal and was
hoisted with such rapidlty that he
became dizzy and fell from the bucket
at a point about forty feet from the
bottom. His fellow workman, who
was in the bucket with him, was
safely landed at the top of the shaft.
Angove was born in Cornwall, Eng
land, was about twenty-five years Of
age and unmarried. No blame is
attached to the company nor en-
ployes for the accident. Had the
man sounded the proper signal, he
would have been hoisted slowly and
probably safely. The funeral will
take place from the Alice hospital,
VAUDEVILLE, at 2 o'clock p. m. to-
day.
