RELIEF FOE THE LOCKED OUT
Received With Demonstrations of Joy By a
Starving Populatfen.

CHICAGO. July 26.-Mayor Cregier, Con-
gresham Frank Lawler and other members
of the Relief Committee left here this morn
ing with 80 tons of provisions and supplies
for the starving locked-out- coal miners of
Spring Valley, III. There are about 1000
idle miners in the district, making, with
their families, about 5000 souls. The ar
rival of the train there this afternoon was
greeted with great demonstrations of joy,
and the committee was greeted by the
strains of an improvised band, which was
none the less hearty in its welcome notwith-
standing the somewhat unmelodious eharac-
ter of the music which it discoursed. Every
where there were evidences of the most
pinching poverty and destitution. Men,
women and children were most scantily clad
in the cheapest of materials, and there was
great dearth of footgear among them.
Their faces bore unmistakable evidences OF
pinching hunger. These people have been
locked out nearly three months, and are
absolutely on the verge Of starvation.

Unexneet.a ,feet,nu.

Not long after the close of the war, Mr..
j. I. Trowbridge visited the field Of
Gettysburg, and held conversations with
many persons residing in the neighbor-
hood. One afternoon, on Cemetery Hill,
he met a soldier who was in the battle,
and who, being at Harrisburg for q few
days, had taken advantage of an excur-
sion train to revisit the scene Of that ter
rible experience.
Getting into conversation we walked
down the hin together. AS we were APP
preaching a double house with high
wooden steps, he pointed out the further
one, and said:

got o piece of bread at that house. a
man stood on the steps and gave each OF
us fellows a piece. We were hungry as
bears, and It was q godsend- should
like to see that man and thank him."
Just then the nan himself appeared at
the door. We went over, and / intro
duced the soldier, who, with tears in his
eyes, expressed his gratitude for that act
of Christian charity.

Lost In Detroit. Found In noston.


There should be q moral with a sharp
point to the following episode, and, un-
Esop like, it will not be appended, but
left to the reader to af1ix. A Fall River
gentleman was last spring in Detroit.
He went on Sunday evening to attend a
fashionable church, taking with him his
religious views and a handsome silk UNI
brella. The latter he left In the inside
vestibule in an umbrella stand with
numerous others, while the former he
kept with him. The service being long,
he went out a few seconds in advance of
the benediction, and, on looking for his
umbrella, found 1t not. So, being an
honest man, he took the next best one
and went to his hotel. Last Friday
while in Boston he stepped into the
Parker house. There with others on a
large settle hat rack stood his umbrella.
He knew it, for besides the peculiar
handle there on the gold plate were his
name and address. He claimed his prop
erty, explaining to the clerk at the desk.
So the two watched for the man who
should walk in and take the umbrella.
Soon he came, lighted a cigar, butteaed
his top coat, took the umbrella, and was
stopped. Whose umbrella is that, you
want to know" he said when asked.
Last spring ! was in church. one even
ing in Detroit, and some sneak stole my
umbrella out of the vestibule, where l
left it, and / took the next best one.
Next morning l found q fellows name
on 1t, but that didn't make 1t leak, 80 l
kept it." There was an explanation, and
while the Fall River nan got his um-
brella back, the other one got q new one
at the expense of the man from the city
of spindles. Providence Journal.

WIN Shoot Over Ten Miles.

A st. Louis shoemaker named Custer
has applied for a patent on a remarkable
gun. The inventor will not display the
affair itself, as he believes it to be 1.-THE
coming gun" but from the drawings and
obscure description offered by the owner
a vague idea can be CLEANED.
The gun is a smooth bore, very similar
to a Martini-Henry rifle, and hammer
less. On the left hand side of the breech
block is a magazine containing cartridges
so arranged that on firing the recoil OF
the charge opens the breech, at which a
spring presses q fresh cartridge into
place.
But the popularity lies in the cartridge
and the rear end of it. A very light
charge sutfices to start it.
After it has gone but a few rods the
extreme rear one of a series of secondary
charges explodes, giving the missile re-
newed impetus. These explosions are
continued until the series is exhausted
or the %proiectile has reached its object.
The advantages claimed for this odd
weapon are that a much lighter gun can
be used and that greater execution can
be wrought, besides getting longer range,
as he claims a bullet can be fired ten
miles, and even further, according to the
number Of prepelling charges, always
providing that nothing gets in the way.
1t requires a "a inch cartridge for a ten
mile trip. and one-quarter inch addi-
tional for each subsequent mile. One
thing that has always been a source OF
annoyance to gunners is surmounted by
this, the trajectory.
The projectile. in place Of making a
bee line. has heretofore described an arc,
necessitating raised sights" for long
distance shooting, a s the continuous
force of gravity would drag the bullet
downward below a direct line to the tar
get.
The inventor claims that his system OF
relays, acting as they do as instantaneous
forces. overcome the continuous and
cause the missile to move directly to the
mark.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-The gold
excitement in lower California, near
Bisenada, is increasing. and many peo-
pie are iocking from San Diego to the
gold fields. Work on the Cuyanaca,
San Diego and Eastern railroad is
stopped, as the workmen are leaving in
a body for the mines. The steamers San
Diego and Bisenada have double rates,
but the rush continues and stages are
now running overland, carrying passen-
gers direct for the mines, which are To-
Gated about sixty miles southwest of
Bisenada. San Diego papers declare
that the development covers 100 miles
square, and that placer miners are max
ing a great deal of money, $4,000 in
gold dust having been brought into Bis
enada and San Diego. Nearly all of
the California papers have urged people
to be cautions about rushing into the
mines. owing to the fact that many of

After leaving here her husband returned
to Russia and she became the reigning

More pathetic than this story, for II
was surely pathetic for a girl of IA to
