FORTUNES FAVORITE.

He was happy-go-lucky fellow, my uncle,
Col. Edouard Grifard He was ever ready
to risk his life, to take any chance, and chance
seemed always to favor him. Among his
comrades he was known as fortunes favorite.
At the age of 40 he was colonel Of a regi-
ment of hussars, and an officer Of the Legion
of Honor. He had an income Of 5000 francs,
enough to enable him to live well and main
tain his position, but not enough to tempt
him to relinquish his military career. He
was high spirited, brave as a lion, and well
educated He was at once gay and philo-
sophical, accepting without a murmur the
fatigues and privations Of a campaign, and
enjoying to their full the pleasures and ad-
vantages Of life in garrison. He had fought
in the Crimea, in Africa, Italy and Mexico,
escaping with only two insignificant scratches.
He had an iron constitution that enabled him
to endure suffering that would have killed an
ordinary man.
Such was my uncle Edouard when, in 1869,
It was our fortune to be in camp together at
Chalons, where his regiment, which had been
decimated by yellow fever, had been ordered.
he was not more than six years my senior,
and he loved me as though were younger
brother.
One day was dining at his mess, and while
we were over our coffee the sergeant entered
and handed him letter. He looked at the
superscription and knitted his brows, and a
shadow seemed TO fit over his handsomeface.
Excuse me-" he said.

where she looked through the show case at a
lot Of Indian mocassins and bead work Of all
sorts Pointing to an deliberately worked
pin cushion, she said to the attendant:
young man, what's the price Of that cakeF'
The young man told her that it was not a
cake, but pin cushion. "Young man. y she
said severely, Il did not come here to be in

possibly a half dozen head in Charles Good

roamed the west in thousands, and today
there is not one left. They were totally ex-

RealIlng of Old coaI Mines.

! An ingenious artitice that has lately beer
successfully put in practice at Shenandoah
by the Reading company, at the Kohinool

which coal has been taken out, is worthy Of
mention, since it is desirable that it should be

method is both simple and effective, and pre-
vents the caving in of the earth above, and
the consequent loss of valuable property.
which has not been infrequent in the mining

valuable pillars Of pure coal, which for many
years it was customary to leave in the mines
to prevent falling in Of the roof, can now be
taken out without fear. A coal dirt con
veyer, consisting Of a series of semicircular
chutes, similar to those used in discharging
coal from carts into cellars, and an endless
chain with scrapers attached automatically
conveys the fine refuse from the coal breakers
to an elevation, from whence it is discharged
into a second chute.
As thecoa dirt falls on this, water, pumped
from the mines, mixes with it through a liz
or pudding hole into the bowels Of the earth,
from whence the coal has been removed.
The coal dirt settles to the bottom of the
breasts and packs closely, and the water seeks
an outlet below, to be again pumped out to
repeat its duty. The cost of this pudding

three to four cents per cubic yard, is very

RECOVERING LOST ARTICLES.
A Suggestion from the French That Nigh

Suggestion from the French That Might
Properly BE Followed.
! Gas well look for a needle in a bundle of
hayn as for a small article lost in the city of
/ New York OF course every we'll conducted
railway or carrying company has an Office to
which articles found In their vehicles are
stored for reclamation. But there are so
many carrying companies; the articles may
have been left in cab or in some public
place, and if the owner cannot remember the
exact place, where is he to make inquiry for
it, Would it not be well to have a special
bureau to which all lost articles could be
sent, just as they have in Paris for examplel
There, if you leave your purse on counter,
your umbrella in an omnibus, or lose any of
the numberless small things a lady loves to
cumber herself with, you know where to ap-
ply for it.
Editor Medill, of Chicago, lost a /, 600 franc
bill in Paris a few years ago. The next day
he clambered to the bureau for lost articles,
in the third story of the palace of Justice, and
recovered it. 1t had been found in the straw
at the bottom of a cab he had used
The Paris bureau has just been reorganized
Articles found are entered at the central
office, with the name of the finder To claim
them, all that is necessary is to properly
identify them, and they are handed over
without charge, a gratuity for the finder
usually being left; but this is entirely at the
option of the owner II after fifteen DAYS
the article is not reclaimed the finder may
claim it for himself. In case he does not it is
sent to the magazine for storage three months,
and there if it be clothing or something Of a
perishable nature, it is sold Otherwise it is
kept for three years An instance is cited in
La Republique Franchise where a Russian
lost 10000 francs in a carriage
Eighteen months passed, and happening to
be in Paris again and hearing for the first
time Of the bureau for stolen articles, he went
there and made inquiry. He was astouished
to have it handed over to him, and in his gen
crosby he left half of the sum for the honest
coachman who had placed it there to his
credit, so to speak.
Now, it does seem a little unjust that the
articles found in public vehicles, and left I'M
claimed, should be sold to swell receipts of |
the company owning them; and the knowl- |
edge that the product Of his find will prob |

Entertainments.

There was small but enthusiastic audience to greet Otto Hegner, the boy pianist. at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The boy is certainly remarkable musical artist. He plays the piano with all the mannerisms of 8 Rubenstein, but he plays it wonderfully we'll. There is nothing wonderful in his touch or in his interpretation of the classical selections he rendered, but the wonderful part of his performance lies in the fact that boy of his years has become such matured artist. He is more graceful performer than young Hoffman and there is an individuality to his playing that was entirely lacking in his rival. His rendition of the s'Rondo Capriccioso'' of Mendelssohn, which Hoffman played here l showed better than anything else the superb l ority of Master Hegner's playing. The "Spinnerlisd" (Wagner. .Liszt), very difficult selection, was played with the ''fearless cer- tsinty" of veteran virtuoso. The soloist was assisted by the Mendelssohn Quintette club, who gave some admirable chamber music. Their rendition of the "andante, con expressione," from Beethoven's qIintette (opus 29) deserves the highest praise. But the gem of the evening was the "Fantaisie- stuck" (Vollbaoh), a sextette with violin obli- gato by Mir. Wilhelm Ohliger. Not since Wilhelmi has anything like MT. Ohliger's magnificent playing been heard here. In re- sponse to hearty encore Schumann's "Traumerei" was given with the indescrib- able grace of A thorough artiss. It is very seldom that our music lovers have a chance to hear such skilled musicians. Mrs. Penn berton Hincks sang two selections very ac- oeptably. The theater was very cold throughout the entire evening and the audi. ence were in more danger of catching colds in their heads than from lack of the much talked. of fire escapes.

THE ORONIN TRIAL.

Testimony Regarding the Knives
 Which Were Found I'm Coughlin,s
 Pocket Judge Wing Resumes His
 Argument For che Defense.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 2.--Whsn Judge McCon- nell's court opened this morning in the Cronin case MT. Forest proceeded to offer evidence contradieting the testimony of T. Oonklin regarding the knives said to be Dr. Cronin's which were found in Dan Coughlin's pocket. August Loewenstein testified that on April 27 Dan Coughlin bought pair of trousers at his place. After changing his trousers the ex-deteetive took all the articles he had carried in the old trousers pockets and transferred them to the new garment. Among them were two knives. Witness was shown the tive knives put in evidence Friday and said to the best of his judgment they were the same knives. 0n the cross- examination witness insisted that the date was April 27. Ex-Detective Lowenstein, Coughlin's partner, identified one of the knives, but could not swear to the other.
 After slight delay Judge Wing resumed his argument for the defense. The idea of sane man while suspected of murder carrying for two weeks in his pocket the knives of the murdered man was in Mr. Wings mind too ridiculous proposition to be entertained. The conspiracy and it's relation to Camp 90 next claimed the advocates attention. "A case of conspiracy must be established by the State beyond reasonable doubt," he said. "Either such & case must be proved or this trial must be dropped and the prisoners dis- charged. The only proof that such conspir- acy did exist is circumstantial evidence. of very fimsy nature. The assertion that the murder of Dr. Cronin had been decided upon at meeting of forty persons, and for no other reasen than that he had read paper of trial in another camp, the speaker characterized as nonsense and asked the jury could they as men believe it. GAS to the white horse hired from Dinan," the attorney continued, s'is it likely that & man contem plating murder would have hired horse from place at which he was knowns It has been frequently asked why, if Coughlin's connection with the white horse was innocent, why has the man not come back: There is little req son why he should come back. That man would have been identified by Mrs. Conklin. He know 1t and stayed away"
 At this paint court adjourned until to- morrow, when Judge Wing will continue his argument and Attorney Ingham begin for the State

He died of cancerous affeo- tion of the throat, with which he had suf- fered intensely for the last two years.

For the last six months deceased had been unable to take anything but liquid food. He had been able to be about the house until very near the last. He bore his sufferings with great fortitude and Christian resienation and ever uncompiain- ingly. He was devoted husband and kind fa~ ther and a valued citizen. He was formerly for many years employed at 0. 0. Cowles & Co.'s, and for several years of late at Swift's coach lamp manufactory. He leaves wife and two daughters, Mrs. Whitmore, wife of George A.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 2.-The work of coal- ing the vessels of the squadron of evolution was begun today. The Yorktown and At lanta were lowed to the Navy Yard docks where the work was prosecuted all day. The Yorktown will finish first and her place will then be taken by the Boston.
 The Chicago is coaling in the stream and all day long two lighters were busy filling her bunkers. It will certainly be Wednesday before the last ton is slowed away and it ia certain that the fleet will not sail before Thursday. Very few visitors arc now ale lowed on board, practically only personal friends of the officers.
