WAS NOT HIS FAULT.

"Have you been to the American con-
sul?'' l asked. He had not, but it was
not his fault, for he was just out Of the
port hospital and did not like to trouble
the consul. A few hours later / was
taking some pale ale under an arcade with
Bostonan and Baltimorean, and soon
| saw my young sailor in distress heave
in sight. He came along with eyes down,
and, not discerning me, be stopped at our
table and renewed to my friends his re-
quest for money, and was as hungry as
ever. They gave him few bits, and he
went on. Shortly after I CHANGED TO meet
him and said: Aren't you ashamed to be
begging in the streets, when all you have
to do, if your case is good one. is to go
to Consul Hoff3" This time did not be-
stow my silver upon him, but let him go

Sans idea Of the tramp is that he is an

YOUTHFUL SUICIDES.

At Grove City, Pa, Charles Sny
der, aged IL years, hung himself, af
ter having been whipped by hii
mother. On Saturday at Philadel
phia, John Sullivan, aged sixteen
hung himself, his father having chas
ed him home during the day, ant
scolded him for being a shiftless
lazy boy, addicted to drinking beef
and idling his time away. with bad
boys. At Cory, Pa, Sunday, Rosa
Smith, aged 20 years, ended her life
with morphine, discouraged because
she "had nothing to look forward
to more than the life of a servant
and its hardships." These three
suicides are reported in the same
paper, as extraordinary because OF
their youth; halt dozen ordinary
suicides occur almost every day,
and are given but little notice, so
common has self destruction become.
There Is no limit to the suicide

ment, for we do not believe that

Mans Dress In San Francisco.

Mans Dress In san FfanciscOs
The genuine 'down east'' or Canadian
visitor who arrives in San Francisco dur
ing the winter season greatly helps to in
crease the diversity in dress which one
notes in San Francisco. He often comes
equipped in fur lined raiment, and when
the clouds grow heavy and the wind be-
gins to come in puffs from the south he
looms up like survivor of an Arctic ex-
pedition. His ponderous coat with its
fur collar enveloping his ears looks strange
beside the light summer overcoats or the
still thinner cutaway coats made light
and airy by white neckties and plug hats
The newly arrived owner of the fur lined
overcoat, however, rarely sticks long to
his old love, and is soon found airing his
figure without any overcoat at all or
stalking along with a gossamer garment
thrown back to display his light necktie
and other summary raiment.
The Visitor from the Orient, If he be of
a foppish turn, contributes more than his
share toward the contrasts in dress. He
is generally of ''horsey" turn and de-
lights to stroll through the streets ON his
way.to q livery stable remarkable in a
hunting suit, tight fitting, cords" and
top boots and spurs. An Oriental tourist
who struck the town not long since,
sailed out from the Palace hotel one chilly
afternoon IN a pair Of canary colored pam
falcons, patent leather shoes with striped
cloth tops, blue vest with polka dots and
a claret colored velvet coat. The whole
rig was surmounted by pith helmet Of
the kind worn in tropical countries. The
gamins of San Francisco are too much
accustomed to sharp contrasts in dress to
be easily excited but this Shanghai fash
ion plate was too much for their equa-
nimity. By the time they had presented
their compliments in the shape of wheel
barrow full of cobble stones, the Shanghai
masher reached his hotel through dozen
back streets and was seen no more in
velvet coat on cold winters day.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

hope may be of interest. On Sunday,
April 20 quite an assemblage ofyoung

organizing Sabbath School. Several
young ladies and gentlemen from
Hedgesville were present, among
others was Mr.. John Quinn, who after
calling the meeting to order and
stating its object, then proceeded to
organize the school, which will be
known as the Dry Run Union Sabbath
School. The usual officers were elect

Horrors of Russian Prisons.

Yadrintseff, the author, who has de-
voted many years to the study of prison
life in Russia and Siberia, and who is now
editing The Oriental Review at st. Peters
burg, writes of our provincial prisons:
Almost in every 'ostrog
there is a corridor nearly underground
which has the moisture and smell of o
grave. In this corridor are the cells for
i, the more important common law prisoners
awaiting their trial. These cells are half
underground. The floor is always wet
and rotten. Mold and fungi cover the
walls. Water is continually oozing from
beneath the floor. A small painted win
dow makes the cell almost completely
dark. Tho men are kept there in irons
There is no bedstead, no bed The prison
ers are lying on the floor, which is covered
With worms and myriads of fieas; and for
3 bed they have rotten straw, for cover
ing their poor overcloth torn to pieces
The moist and cold air makes one SILVER.
even in the middle of summer; the sentry
runs away to breathe fresh air: and in
such cells the prisoners spend several
years, waiting for their trial Even the
most healthy of these prisoners become
insane. Michael Malkoff in Chicago
