A Painful Accident.

A few days ago IL girl living in the fam
lily of Henry Chandler, near Chatham Pa
met with serious accident She ran a
hairpin into her nose, and losing hold of
the end of it she was unable to remove
it. The local physician who was called
in also failed to dislodge it, and the I'M
fortunate woman was taken to Philadel-
phia, where surgeon successfully re-
moved it, after several trials, by passing
wire into the nostril, catching it in the
turn of the hairpin and drawing it thence
into the mouth.-ECery Ercdhg.

ladies here use them to hold their hair

The Public Schools of this city are A
very large aggregation. Quite an army
OF teachers are employed, and if they
would appear in dress parade would
reach half mile three abreast But
they never turn out that way; when
they appear in public it is mostly driv-
ing some hard problem home to some
mumbscull. Some people hasn't very
exalted opinion of the common school
especially when they send their children
to pay schools to such an extent. The
setting up of private institutions against
this system is in many ways pernicious.
The national school idea should be kent
before the young aspirant as the only
thing that separates us from caste in this
country. This giving our children the
idea that the public school is too com
mon for them, is like the mugwump idea
OF our primary election system, always
talking of the DETERMINATIONS but never
trying to eradicate the evils by going up
to the polls and weighing among the
masses, and having some say in the
counsels of the party. These public
schools were opened last Monday, and an
aggregate of nearly $4,000 children were
gathered in. A school house year is the
average of those built, and even this
addition does not accommodate all the
children who ask admittance The
school-marms have all been away and it
is quite hardship for these instructors
to leave their pre- sent hours of ease and
go back to the blackboard. Yet the
scholar has some sort of enthusiasm to
get back, but it is only because he has
used up every expedient and device in
regards pleasure which only their pa
rents can realize. know by experience,

FIRE AT COLORADO.
Thirteen Thousand Dollars Worth Of
Property Destroyed by the Flames
Flames at Colorado.

Special TO the Gazette.
COLORADO, TEX, June ls.--Last night
Colorado was visited by another contia-
grafton which promised for time to be
the most destructive In her history. The
large frame livery stable OF Malin &
Calvin, two residences and beer hall
and restaurant were burned and but for
the bountiful supply Of water from our
water-works system and that gallant
work OF the tremen the ruin would have
been much more extensive. The fire
originated in the stable by the upsetting
OF an oil lamp, and spread with such
rapidity that 1t was with the greatest
difficulty the stock was saved and In
spite of all efforts four horses and two
carriages were burned. From the stable
the flames spread to w. M. Dunn's
cottage, next door, and from that
to DR.. Smiths residence, leveling them
both In few minutes. They next at
tackled the beer hall, frame building,
twenty-five by one hundred feet, but the
ilremen We're in trim now aud got the
flames under control and they were soon
put out entirely, and none too soon, for
the next structure was the Scott block
containing hne store rooms filed with
valuable merchandise. The losses are as
follows:
Malin & Calvin, $500.
William Dunn, $500
DR.. \, II. Smith, $500.
Oscar Johnson, $500.
Mr. Lasker, $1,000.
IL. Hill, 5000,
There was no insurance.
Sam Malin, one Of the proprietors Of
the stable, was sleeping upstairs In the
building, aud the stairway beng full Of
smoke aud flames, he jumped from the
window to the ground AS he did so his

hit the ground exploded, the ball hitting
him IN the calf of the right leg, and pass.
