The Pocahontas Story Not a MYTH.

The story of Pocahontas is absolutely true.
Nobody doubted it till 1885, when Charles
Deane started the present skepticism on the
point. Henry Stevens believed Smith i'm
plicitly, and he is the greatest authority of
our age Before l edited Smiths works /
knew of all this doubt. and went coolly and
warily into the matter, determined TO find
out the truth. Bit by bit the evidence accu-
INFLATED, until the honesty of statement and
high character of the Lincolnshire captain
came out refulgently. OF Pocahontas' exis-
tence and services to the English colony no
man doubts. The question is, did she render
this peculiar service to Smith? No one was
present there but himself? Did he invent it
afterwards Was he liar generallyi Ger
tainly not In my reprint many greater hair
breadth escapes than that are recorded in his
life, and in later Indian stories captive men
have often been saved from death by Indian
seuaws. Such an incident is almost CON-
monplace. So, after most rigorous test, l
was happy to believe that the Pocahontas
story is not myth like the William Tell one,
but solid, historical fact.-Athenaum.

THE DlAL'S SHADOW.

Go, Cupid; say to her love
That roses fall and time is feeting.
Iwatch the dial's shadow move
And wait-and wait-to give her greeting.
For youth is sunshine on the dial,
And love is but an old, old story;
The years may dance with lutte and viol-
The shadow moveS-so ends their gloryl
Go, Cupid, beckon with your wing,
That sweetest chance may watt her hither:
For we must WOO, remembering
How fast the roses fall and wither.
And oft the dial long ago,
The pavement sunk with messy edges
Saw Youth and Love meet all aglow.
And whisper by the old yew hedges
Co. Cupid, tell the maid prize
How many in the courtyard wandered.
What laughing lips and witching eyes,
In loves delight their beauty squanderedi
The rufus, brocade and buckled shoes,
How softly down the path they battered
With gallants gay in old world hues,
When crowns and kingdoms little mattered
Go, Cupid, sleep; your cheek is pale;
And we can WOO among the sages;
Romance is but a weary tale
Monotcnous from all the ages.
My hearth She comes from yonder door;
And time and shadows fit forever;
Why, there was never youth before
And love like ours, oh, never-neveri

The Time Fixed for Burying the Electri

The Time Fixed for Burying the Electric
Wires in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, November 3. = City
Councils Law Committee has again fixed a
date for the removal of overhead wires, but
this time it has arranged a graduated scale
to guide the companies in obeying the law.
This schedule, which was adoDted yesterday,
is as follows: All electric light wires be-
tween Vine and South streets and the two
rivers must be under ground by De-
cember 1. 1890; between South street
and Washington avenue, Vine street
and Girard avenue, and Gray's
ferry and Girard avenue, West Phil
adeiphia, by December 1, 1891; and all
other parts of the city except the rural sec
tions by December l, 1892. To bury the
telegraph and telephone wires the companies
are given years more time in each district
than with the electric light wires, so that it
will be December l, 1893, before the wires
in the outskirts of the city go underground.
There are now in the city 10, 324 telegraph,
telephone and electric light poles, of which
4,649 are owned by the city and 5,675 by
various companies. Up to the present time
825 miles of wire have been placed under
ground, but 5000 still remain overhead.

The Sorosis Society of New York Talks
About AtrOphied Faculties.
NEW YORK, November 5.-"Is is better
for the progress of mankind that all the
faculties of the individual should be har-
moniOusly developed or that some faculties
should be allowed to become atrophied for
the special development of others?"
This was the question that Sorosis talked
about yesterday afternoon at Delmonico's s
after a luncheon of six courses. The ques-
tion was put bv Mrs. Lucy Lee Holbrook.
Mrs. Alma C. Johnston read very bright
paper on the negative side. Mrs. Merrill,
of Boston, better known az Jean Rincaid,
said few words. Mrs. Jennie M. Lozier
read a very clever and scientific paper and
Mrs. Emma W. Higley talked very wittily
in serio-comic way.
Mrs. Helen Campbell, Mrs. Anna Ran
dali Diehl, Mrs. Mary A. Newton and Mrs.
Hester NJ. Poole all read interesting papers,
and Mrs Clymer then decided that the con-
clusion had been reached that in some cases
atrophy was necessary for certain faculties,
but that spherical cultivation of all facul-
ties was as a rule the best for humanity.

poem, Mrs. Marion II. Wilcox sang and

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP PArcR.i
Los ANGELES, CAL, November 5.-By
accident to-day DISPATCH correspondent
came across a man who clears away the
mystery surrounding the fate of the Benders.
His name is N. Coberly. He has been in
the employ of the Street Superintendent
here Coberly says that in 1882 he was
constable of Havana township, Montgomery
county, Kansas The Blenders moved there
in 1887 and opened wayside tavern, from
which many strange disappearances took
place. The authors of the crimes, were dis
covered by the murder of q man named
York, and vigilantes proceeded to the tavern
to mete out punishment. Reaching the
Rocky Hill region, Coal creek, a few miles
from the desolate Bender tavern, the posse
was halted and 100 bullets whizzed through
the air.
Three of the outlaws were literally rid
died with balls. Their bodies were not
buried. They were thrown among the
rocks on hillside, where wolves probably
fed upon them. No investigation case was
ever made by the authorities, but you can
rest assured that the Bender family will
never again be heard of in this world. The
next spring three more bodies of murdered
men were found in Dunn creek, and, all
told, it is believed Bender killed II people,
including a child that was burned alive.

cock has any purpose of casting his lot with the
striking Brotherhood, it is not apparent in let
ters which he is writing back to personal
friends in this city, in which he scarcely ever
fails to refer to his return in the
spring, and what he expects to accomplish
with the club next year. Glasscock is put
ting a good deal of faith in the pltchlng
ability OF Byrkitt of the wooster CiuD, ana
he expects to sign him with Indianapolis before
the spring opening Wooster demanded y, 5OO
for his release but GlasscOck angrily retorted
that he did not want to buy the club outright,
but would give $500 for its pitcher. Henry
Boyle has concluded he must change the style
of his delivery, and to that end he proposes
practicing the coming winter. After the sea-
son closed New York made no secret that they
''were on to him. as they expressed it, and
other clubs were also fortunate in solving his
delivery sufficiently quick to guess pretty
closely what kind of ball was coming.
President Brush, of the indianapolis League
club, does not appear greatly alarmed. ITS
few days too quick, " said he, ITO talk much
about what the League action will be. The
players have done nothing but what we ex-
pected they would do. They have made
statement of their troubles. and there the mat
ter stands, and until they say to the League,
We do not care to meet you, the situation re-
mains the same as it has been all season. The
policy OF the League will take shape later on,
and it will not claim anything not its due"

such scheme would never do. 1t would be
placing premium on deseTtiOn and unfathful-

Of the games. II has also been suggested that
a combination between the League and Ameri-
can Association would be advisable, and that
idea meets with considerable favor. 1t is evil
dent that the Brotherhood will, if success at

Association players. but they are waiting to see
how they are going to come out in their con-

NOT ENOUGH PIPE.
An Oil Well Supply Famine Which Seriously
Affects Production.

An Oil Well Supply Famine Which Seriously
AfIecrH Production.
WASHINGTON, PA, November 5.-Field
operations have been somewhat retarded by
the pipe famine which has existed since
early in the summer, and at present shows
no signs of cessation. Operating is, there
fore, rather inconvenient in this field. Sew
eral wells have been standing untubed for
weeks. A number of drilling wells
have been standing idle for some
time, and in few cases for a period of
months. An operator who by some scheme
can get the desired supplies, is considered a
very fortunate person, and is buttonholed
quite often. The scarcity of pipe is only
partly explained. The best reason given is
that the demand for casing and tubing is
greater now than it has ever been, as oil
statistics show. The mills have large con-
tracts for line pipe for gas operations.
Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New
York are heavy buyers, and Kentucky and
West Virginia are buying in large lots. A
few mills are not ruEn'rg up to their full
capacity on account OF the scarcity of gas
fuel
