Gen. sherman's Retirement.

Washington, Feb. S-The president to-day
issued the following order, announcing the re-
tirement of Gen. Sherman:
Ger. William I. Sherman, general of the
army, having this day reached the age of sixty
four years, is, in accordance with law, placed
upon the retired list of the army without the
restriction of pay and allowances. The an
nouncement of the severance from the COM
mand of the army of one who has been so many
years its distinguished chief, can but awaken
in the minds, not only Of the army, but of the
people of the United States, mingled emotions
of regret and gratitude; regret at the with
travail from active military service of an officer
whose lofty sense of duty has been a model for
all soldiers since he first entered the army in
July, 1910, and gratitude, freshly awakened for
services of incalculable value rendered by him
in the war for the Union which his great mill
tary genius and daring did so much to end
The president deems this a fitting occasion TO
give expression in this manner to the gratitude
felt towards Gen. Sherman by his fellow cii-
zens and to hope that providence may grant
him many years of health and in relief from
the active duties of his profession.

A Startling Mining Episode.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Special: The borough Of
Hazelton, in the lower part of this county, a
city of 5000 inhabitants, was thrown into a
fearful state of excitement by the caving in OF
an entire square in the central part of the Dor
ough. The drop was about three feet, caused
by the giving way of the timbers in the Sugar
Loaf colliery underneath. Three of -four
houses including a hotel, we're entirely wrecked,
while numbers of others were more or less in
iured. The residence of Master Mechanic
Clark, of the Lehigh Valley railroad shops,
was utterly demolished. Fortunately, no lives
were sacrificed nor anybody injured. 1t is re
ported that grave apprehensions exist in Hazel
ton concerning further settling of the
surface. This is the first time the town II
known to have suffered from a cavein directly
in its business center.

of the Mile Laos Indians. Gov Hubbard saws:
Information given mo by ex-senator Sim

to visit them and personally learn the truth
about the situation, which / am led to believe is

to the government unless timely help be af-
forded them. Many of them are reported to be
in a state of utter restitution. Their rice crop
was a failure. Their act of violence in the de
struction of the dam of the Pam river was a re-
suit of the anxiety and desperation which that
failure caused them They can make no sales

nearly six years chamberlain of this city, dis
appeared on the Sth, leaving ~ostensibly for
Springfield, Mass, on business. II was ascer-
tanned he was a defaulter, and an examination
of his books shows a defaculation of S17,6Wl,
and it will poobably be much larger. A war
rant has been issued, and a reward Of $1,000
offered for his arrest 1t is thought that
Church lost much of the money in stocks, hop
ing to retrieve losses sustained in business.
He took $500 of the city's money with him,
and is supposed to have left the country. Mr..
Church gave a bond for $4,000 when appoint
cd, but did renew it when nominated for a sec
ond term. 1t is claimed, therefore, that the
sureties are only liable for the amount Of de-
Ejaculation during his first term. Mr.. Church

be from 10 to $50 degrees Fahrenheit,
or as hot as tea or coffee when first
poured out. 1t should then be slipped
slowly, so as not to distend the stomach.
It should be taken an hour or so before

In the United Staes the growing
distance between the extreme of wealth
and poverty is very great at all
times, but it is never so strongly
marked as in periods of commercial dis
tress. While the cities are full of idle
mechanics and laborers, and the scar
city of work is followed by low wages
and suffering, the balls and parties OF
the rich are as magnificent as ever, and
the sums lavished upon amusements
and Injuries of all kinds are enormous.
tt is state of affairs impossible to
change greatly for the better but which
no patriotic citizen can contemplate
with pleasure. If there is any time
when great wealth should be less osten-
tatious than another, it is when there
is unusual sufferings among the poor
and depression. A little more than a
year ago, just before Christmas, there
was a representation in a shop win
dow of an eastern city at Christmas
eve in the parlors of the rich, and in
the novels of the very poor. The con-
trast was extreme and horrible. Sew
eral thoughtful people protested to the
proprietor that it was iniudicious tc
harrow the feelings of the unhappy
by such a contrast. The result was that
evening the windows were smashed
and the representation destroyed by
those who were stung to madness by
unexaggerated representations of life a
it is. There is a lesson in this. Those
who have wealth can enjoy it-all t.
themselves if so disposed-but should
not faunt it in the faces Of the poor.
