Mrs. Cleveland and Her Defiance o
Aristocratic Nonsense.

AriStOCrattc Nonsense.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel
Brave and beautiful Mrs. Cleveland is
level-headed little woman, with ideas of her
own and the courage to carry them out. re-
CARELESS of the frowns or sneers of what is
called society" at Washington, She is dem
ocratic In her ways doesn't believe in any
aristocracy save that of merit, and has a pro-
found contempt for distinctions which have
any other basis
Mrs. Cleveland has entertained good
many Of her OLD schoolmates at the white
house since she became its mistress. Among
them was young lady of engaging manners
and fine accomplishments, who made a
marked impression upon Washington Socie-
ty. A gifted musician, she sang and played
divinely, and was quite the rage for a time.
1t soon turned out, however, that she was
dependent upon her own exertions for
livelihood, and that she actually supported
herself by teaching music. Society" stood
aghas5 at this revelation, and was almost
beside itself when the young lady actually
accepted an engagement as musical instruc-
tor in one of the senlinaries at Washington,
under its very nose. Society proceeded
to snub the young lady, and tried to make
Mrs. Cleveland understand that it was not
an equal footing.
But Mrs. Gle elaud somehow couldn't be
made to understand it. If the expression
may be pardoned, she isn't built that way"
She went right along inviting this horrid
music teacher to the white house teas and
entertainments, took her driving and to the
theater, and showed her as much conSidera-
ton as if she had been duchess or Wander
bilt. OF course Mrs. Cleveland didn't "pa-
tronize" her or make an ostentatious display
of her form. She simple treated her as she
did all her friends, emphasizing her atten-
tions only enough to make the rebuke to le
Goldfish aristocracy, which has been trying to
establish European social code at Wash
ington, pointed and direct enough to be I'M
derstood.
Society" at Washington is an ola DO
dridd, composed to very large extent of
male and female adventures, people who
have acquired wealth suddenly and are fond
of display and ostentation, contractors, job
bers, lobbyists, and such like. AT last ac-
counts this precious crowd of snobs and par
venus was trying to devise some means of
Furnishing Mrs. Cleveland for introducing
common people" into its charmed circle.
1t will be interesting to observe what sort of
revenge it takes on 1.-THE first lady of the
land" for her presumption. Mrs. Cleveland
will hold her own, depend upon it. AS
contemporary remarks: simplicity tand
naturalness are the foundation OF her school
of manners, and it is through these she has
endeared herself to the American people.
She knows no difference in her friends,
whether they be clad in silk attire or russell,
and the one is just as welcome as the other"
Mrs Cleveland stands on the American plat
form, and she need have no fear of the
frowns and sneers of the funkies and toadies
who infest the national capital, and call
themselves society" and other people per
sons"
Down with snobberyi

 LONDON, Jan. 26.-Lord Brassey delivered 6 lecture before the chamber of commerce yesterday on the inadequate defenses of coal ing stations
 When he had finished the Duke of Cam bridge, commander-in-chief of the British army, indorsed his views, and said that the existence of the empire depended upon it's power to keep commerce free from alarms He was unable to understand why the com mercial community could not see that the preparation for contingencies was the truest economy. Formerly there was time to pre- pare, but now the warning came one day and the action the next The country was not prepared for an emergency. It was positively endangered and courted insult.
 Lord Charles Beresford explained that he resigned the office of junior lord of the ad. mlralty because the interests of the military and naval service had been srbordinated to political exigencies. His statement was greeted with enthusiastic applause. He added tha5 the reason for his leaving the govern ment had nothing to do with the general policy of the Conservative party It was a question regarding the defenses of the coun- try. Anybody who knew anything regarding British Notifications concurred with him ir the opinion that they were Inadequate. Ii was better, he declared, to havo no guns ir their forts than to have those of ancient pat

The wind rose with the sun and blew the fine snow from the ouse tops, picked up large quantities in the streets and landed it in the faces of edestIians, making outdoor life disagree lble for several hours. With the wind the louds appeared, and what promised this norning t. te beautiful day turned out be very disagreeable. The streets are lied up with snow and the horse railroad ompany had great difficulty in keeping heir tracks in cond ition for traffic.

 HARRISBURG, Jan. 26.-The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania state board of agricu ture opened here yesterday in the supreme court room at the Capitol building. Governor Bea- yer presided at the morning session. That and the afternoon session were devoted to the con sideration of the forestry question. Som, widely divergent views were expressed on tn, sanitary and economic value Of forests, indi- eating that before any comprehensive legis!a- tive measures can be asked for there wi.. probably have to be greater accordance O, opinion concerning what is to be done.
 Dr. J. M Andeer, of Philadelphia, read al essay to prove the value of forests as a proven titive of certain contagious and epidemic dis eases, such as malaria, typhoid fever, an, cholera.

ENDORSED BY THE MINERS.
STRIKERS DETERMINED TO MAKE NO
 CONCESSIONS.

The Re-employment of the Discharged
 Railroad Hands and the Per Cent Ad- vance Are the Conditions on Which They
 Will Resume Work.
 PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 26.-Both branches )f the striking miners organizations were in ession yesterday. Daniel Duffy, of St. Clair, ,'a., secretary, and John Thomas, of Tracks Jil1e, treasurer, were reelected, and Rlcharo Iorthey, of Mahonoy City, was elected presi-
 lent over Iver Jones, who filled that position several terms. Northey's election is claimed % be victory for the anti-conservative ele- nent and indicates renewed supremacy of he party that favors contesting the battle to he end. Jointly the railroaders' question oi ,ermtting individual colieries to work at 5he advance was voted down, and after a bitter discussion the alliance between the rail- ,oaders and the miners represented by the Swo organizations, the Knights of Labor, md the Miners and Laborers' association, vas reaffirmed, and the standing out for the , per cent advance and the unemployment
 f all hands on the railroad and at the mines, .sas overwhelmingly indorsed. The conven- lon adjourned until the regular meeting in february.
 Over sixty members, forming one of the argest meetings ever held of district No F, ,f Miners National district No 135, K. of L., vas in session all yesterday, and will finish its abors this evening Master Workman Lewis then expected back from Ohio, and will certify the action taken. It is expected thai important public announcements will then be made.
 The result of these two meetings is a victory or the strike leaders, and no official change the situation can be expected for few lays at least It is predicted, however, that y Feb. all the indi vidual operators will be ;iven the privilege to work at the advance. Chairman Lee says that he is preparing al .nswer to Corbin's circular of Jan. 21, which will radically differ from Secretary Cahill, and ;hat he will prove that the company, and par icularly Superintendent Swiegard, hav,

RECOVERING THE DEAD.
The Death Roll of the Wellington Min.
 Explosion Largely Increased.

The Death Roll of the Wellington Mine
 Explosion Largely Increased.
 PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. 26--Rescuing parties have been working hard at the Wellington coliiery, the SC ne of Tuesdays disaster. The cage can be lowered to where the debris is. From there the rescuers descend by means of 9 ladder. The work of clearing away the debris from the bottom of the shaft is being pushed forward with all possible speed, and not till this is done can any dead bodies be brought up It is now believed that nearly ninety lives were lost in the explosion.
 Following is closs estimate of those ill the mine: Lanse Robinson. P. Robinson, Jacob Kline, - Regardo, John Stewart, D. Mc- Donald, William Horn, James Jones, Valaria :; John McReal, William French, N illiam Wilkes, Charles Filler, Alex. Ross, - Bel Ionia and Italian partner, John Marshal, R. Vincent, D. Gordon R. Greenwell, w. God .rey, E. Davis, J. Williams Frank Mccoy and two others, names unknown; One miner, name unknown; two men, not in the employ of the company, taken down by miners; twenty-five Chinese, employed as runners, and fourteen Chinese employed by miners as lOaders.
 All possible endeavors are being made to recover the bodies. The greatest obstacle is after damp. No hopes are entertained of the lives of those below. There is no scarcity of volunteers, as officials and employees of the Vancouver Coal company ace rendering every assistance required. Not much damage was lone to the mine, but how the explosion took place is mystery.
