he crept closer to the corner of the

"They're going to the base ball
match" answered Fitz; won't you
come along?"
The young man paled and gasped for
breath, trembling violently.
why mani" cried the astonished
Fitz, what ails you? don't you like
base ball?"
Mono, I do-do not, sighed the
agonized fellow; "the very word of base
ball makes my flesh tingle with an un-
told fear; :. vague feeling of unrest and
terror SEXES me"
"Have me of your dear ones been
killed while at base ball? asked Fitz,
tenderly.
"No, no" moaned the suffering man; !;
"worse than that"
"Well, what can it be, my friend?"

TOLEDO, Ohio, July 3.-A queer elope-
ment was developed here tonight by the
appearance of John Wood, who says he

hied to Detroit, where they lived at the
Poor House for two weeks. Wood followed
and traced them to Monroe and learned
that they had lived as paupers during their
sojourn there. They were furnished
paupers tickets to Toledo and are sup.
posed to be here tonight.
Mrs. Wood is sixty y-seve years old.

Chinese COmb8tantS.

The attention Of our police officers was
called to Chinatown last night, where the
almond-eyed celestials were having a little
Fourth of July on their own hook. Frank
Mcdonald was the first to arrive on the
spot, and discovered two Mongolians in a
terrible encounter, Both were armed with
formidable knives, and one of the pig-tail
heatheps looked as if he had been run
through sausage machine. Upon the ar:
rival OF the police, the Cinnamon, who had
up to this time kept out OF the fight, all
pitched in and it was doubtful for a few
minutes as to who would get the best of it,
but Frank Mcdonald, with a club in one
hand and huge revolver in the other, scat
tered the celestials to the four winds and
succeeded at last in landing the murderous
combatants in the city jail. Weare unable
to learn the cause of the uproar Or what
charge will be preferred against the disturb
ers of the peace.

PITTSBURGH'S SHAME.
Christian Advocate.

Christian Advocate:
pittsburgh has been Inundated
and disgraced by the action Of
some of its oficials--if such thing
is possible. Last week a memb Der
of the city council went with com
panions of his own class to house
of ill-repute, and becoming abusive
and brutal toward the woman who
kept it, was on her complaint ar
rested and conveyed to the central
station. Thereupon the Mayor
telephoned to have his friend
brought to his house to spend the
night, instead OF spending it be-
hind the bars; which courtesy,
however, the friend declined. The
woman was threatened with the
most dire calamities if she did not
withdraw the complaint against
the virtuous councilman; and upon
her refusal, the guardians Of our
peace Graded" her house and arres-
ted her and her confederates in
crime, They would teach her that
she must not injure one Of the
city fathers, When the case was
finally disposed of, as we are inform
ed, the woman was punished, as
she, no doubt, well deserved to be,
on general principles, but the man
was allowed to go without any fine
or other punishment.
What a blot on the fame Of our
city is such conduct in our public
men! What does government
amount to in such hands? A mere
sham and burlesque! We shall
expect to hear Of the summary dis
missal of the policeman who had
the temerity to arrest the man in
such a case. He may arrest the
women, who,. bad as they are, are
not whit worse than the men
but he must keep his hands off the
men, especially if they be near the
city government. Shame!

Sumach Gathering In Virginia.
PROFITABLE INDUSTRY FOR HARDY
MOUNTAINEERS-C AND

PRICES.

WILDWOOD, Va, November o.
Sumach-gathering as grown into
an industry of considerable magni-
tude in the Virginia mountains of
late years. The bush is most album
dant on the rocky and uncultiyated
mountainside where no crop of
grain could be grown. Providence,
it would seem, has especially de-
signed that the mountaineer should
not be forgotten in the universal
economy of nature and that he
should find substance ready at his
cabin door. The season for pick
ing the leaf is now closing. 1t lasts
about three months in the year,
beginning in the latter part of
June. The first frost renders the
leaves unfit for use. The product
is hauled sometimes as far as fifty
miles, often over rough and stony
roads, in the ancient vehicles of the
mountaineers to some mill or con-
venient shipping point. For the
dry and cured leaf they receive 81
a hundredweight.
The wife and children of the
mountaineer assist him in gather
ing the leaves, and a little girl of
ten becomes as dexterous in strip
ping the bushes as grown man of
twenty-five. Each can earn SO a
day. Expert gatherers have been
known to strip off leaves which
when cured have weighed 500
pounds. One man living at the
top of the Blue Ridge near Manas-
sas Gap has picked this season
twenty tons and realized S400. It
is impossible to estimate the
amount of comfort given these
poor people by this source of reve-
nue..
