After the soIan Geese.

From London Society,"
 A sturdy cragsman fastsns rope of hair, bound with sheepskin, round his body. About twenty fathoms of this cable he keeps uncoiled in his hand The cord is held by two comrades standing on the brink of the abyss. He then adroitly descends the sheer sharp sides of the precipitous rock. The sea boils below in the dizzy hollow. There is mist above. The fisher grasps his staunch cord Such an equipment is bequeathed by the possessor as treasure to his descend ants. Eff father leaves his rope to daughter the young woman is reckoned one of the best matches in the island" The English party follow with eager eye the cragsman's dramatic but daily exploit. His implement is a long stick with a moose at the end. Attached to his body is bladder. He snatches the unwary fulmar or gannet by its neck. The bird in his grasp is frightened and vomits the oil from it's stomach into the bladder vessel of the man. The bird is then killed for the value of it's feathers, which fetch 4d. per pound The spectacle is Hdithery" one to men of unhinching nerves to face, but to the courageous cragsman the enterprise seems an easy diversion. He as cends the face of the cliff with the same alac- rity as he was let down. Daring as may seem th1S method or capture, mlSnapS seldom occur. The St. Kildians are men of steady nerves and wonderful powers of endurance. While the men ensnare the fulmar the wo- men find their quarry in the pufhns, which are taken in their burrows by small dogs. The thine hours movement" has yet to reach St. Kilda. When they are not fishing, cultivating their garden ground, sealing the rocks for feathers or eggs, the islanders are spinning and weaving seventeen hours out of the twenty-four. MT. Payne supplies pleas ant picture of their politeness. "They ney- CT forget to greet one another morning and evening The men raise their bonnets with the left hand and hold out the right. All remain seated in church until the women have departed. $ Family worship is held in every cottage morning and evening. Every meal is preceded by grace, nor will they take drink of milk or water without uncovering the head. x The men meet nearly every morning in front of one of their dwellings to discuss business. They all talk in the loudest tones. A stran- ger would fancy they were coming to blows. * The subjects discussed are, Shall we hunt sheep or mend nets, or catch solan geesep"

Here's Another.

Having read the report of the last meeting held by the unmarried men of Salt Lake City I thought it would not be bad scheme to inform the numerous unmarried gentlemen of this city of the promulgation of very important resolution unanimously adopted at their last gathering, viz:
 Resolved, That all men, young and old, before entering into 8 connubial contract with one or more spinsters, be compelled to Clothing, costing not less than $10.00, nor more than $25. CO., Heretofore the wives and daughters have been compelled to manufac- ture the cloth and make it into queer look ing garments, without regard to style, fit or finish And in these days of advanced civil ization it is blessing to know that one of the burdens of the gentle sex in that remote part of the country has been relieved to no small degree.
 Of course the clothing dealers will reap 8 harvest. And why not? When they can make dashing young Mennonite cut aswell at long or short range At short range in a neat sacque suit, and at long range in a styl- ish Prince Albert Coat. Morton keeps both. There are other styles not yet known in the far West, which give to the wearer an easy and graceful look, too charming for any thing. They are the four button Cutaways and Low Roll Sack Suits, of which Norton has an elegant showing of each. Besides an almost unlimited assortment of Business Suits, Overcoats, Trousers, Reefers, Sc. And no end to the styles of Boys and Chil dren's Clothes, from the cheapest to the cost Hest grades.

 JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 27.-The Blaine party arrived here last night, but owing to it's being Sunday no demonstration was made beyond his welcome at the depot by gener- al gathering of citizens. MT. Blaine was driven to the residence of Governor Fenton where he passed the night. From 9:30 to 10:30 this morning he received many visitors and at Ii a. m. he reviewed enormous pa- rade in Brooklyn Square where he subse- quently addressed the crowd. His remarks were upon the tariff question and the new and old South. At noon Mir. Blaine boarded his private car, the next stop being made at Randolph, where for five minutes he spoke from the rear platform of the train to the usual crowd. Salamanca was reached at 20 p. m. and here MT. Blaine made ten minute address in the presence of three thousand people. The booming of fifty guns, the changing of church bells and the shrieking of

Two Miners Found Dead and Fifteen
 others Unaccounted For.


 UN1oNTowN, Pa, Oct. 27.-At about 4 o'clock this afternoon terrific explosion of fredamp occurred in the mines of the Youngstown Coke company, whose works are situated four miles north of Uniontown. One loud report startled the employees, fol lowed shortly afterward by another. The mine is entered by slope instead of shaft and the explosion followed by sweeping flames which compelled shutting off all passage to and from the mine. In the course of an hour Sergeant Refs and others descended the air shaft and took out the following: Joseph Feebley, aged eighteen, found dead, body burned and crushed; Jackson Lape, aged thirty, suffocated by afterdamp; Jacob Cole, aged fifty three, pit-boss, badly burned; David Cole, badly burned; boy named Chauncey, burned and arm broken. Wash Keifer saved himself by lying down in a pool of water The flames were too fierce to allow the search to be prosecuted further and it was abandoned until prepara tions can be completed for shutting off the air and this extinguishing the fire. There were over twenty men in the mine at the time of the explosion and it is thought the fifteen or sixteen yet in the mine will never be taken out alive The mine was inspected this morning as usual and it was thought to be free from explosives.

 With Her Husband and Five Small
 Children.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The discovery was made to-day that the Baronness Won Bircke- feldt, niece of Richard Wagner, the eompo- ser, is living in absolute poverty with her husband and five small children in one room of house on the outskirts. The husband, Baron Von Birckefeldt, nobleman by birth, once staff officer in the army of Hanover, next 8 captain of grenadiers in the Prussian army and later commander of the seaboard of Dantzig, is, although nearly crippled with rheumatism, working for dollar day in a blood -fertilizing factory. The mother, whose father was one of the three brothers Brock haus of the great Leipsic publishing house, alleges in a long story that she was defrauded of her estate, that ill-health drove her hus- band from the military service and that they came to this country to restore their fallen fortunes, that the effort has been unsuccess- ful and that they are now next door to starv- ing and homeless. Extensive litigation over her fathers estate is now, she says, in prog ress, but her action in promoting the Gtiga- ton has so estranged her wealthy brothers and sisters that they refuse to give her 8 penny.

 ST. THOMAS, Ont, Oct. 27.-A shocking accident occurred on the Canada Southern road at Montrose, Ont, last night, resulting in the death of Conductor Thayer and the serious injury of several others. A train of sixteen empty cars in charge of Conductor Reynolds and Engineer Carlton was mistaken by switehman for light engine and he switched it on a side track where four ca booses were standing.

The stove fell on Con ductor Thayer, pinning him to the floor. The caboose immediately took fire. Every effort was made, but in vain, to rescue Thayer. His brother held his hand as long as he eould but was finally driven back by the heat and rescued through window after his leg had been broken. Brakeman Sehofeld and Conductor John M. S. Gragor were badly injured The victim was only twenty-one years old and had been married but a few weeks.
