G,assnakinc and blindness.

There is one terrible circumstance
in connection with the Venetian glass
industry, and that is that after many
years of work. when these good
people are between 40 and so years of
age, they begin to lose their sight, and
after short while are wholly blind.
There seems to be no remedy for this
unfortunate state of things, for many
protective devices have been tried
without success. The blindness is
caused by the excessive heat and also
by the glare OF the never ceasing
flames from the glass furnaces. 1t is
some comfort to know that these poor
victims to art are content to live very
simply, and as their wages are high
they are able to save large sums. Thus
their declining years. although passed
under such sad conditions, have not
the additional misery which want en-
tails. Chambers Journal.

There lives in wilderness section
of this Columbia county hermit.
He has welded a destructive knife
and revolver in half a score of TRACE
dies and is constantly on the alert,
expecting to be assassinated. This
man, who has forfeited tie compan-
ionship of mankind. is guarded by
animals that pre- well trained watch
men. He has q magic control of the
brute creation, and owns SIX large
goats and an equal number of dogs.
His lonely cabin stands in the middle
OF a fifteen acre field. When he goes
to blowing three of the dogs are plac-
ed at each side Of the field at his rows
end. The dogs are trained to patrol
the adjacent forest, and no human be-
ing can approach without being ex-
posed BY these vigilant sentries.
At night the dogs and goats lie
about the cabin-the goats without
the yard inclosure and the dogs with
in. When any human being APP
proaches these goats set up an I'M
earthly series OF bleating. The dogs
within understand the signal and rush
furicusly at the intruder. Armed to
the teeth the proprietor halls the visi.
tor. If found to be a friend one word
from the hermit silences both goats
and dogs and the guest is invited in.
Thus guarded the desperate man says

THE FUTURE OF THE POPE.
Archbishop Ryan's Remarks on the
progressive Newspapers of the Aye.o

Archbishop Ryan, when questioned in Phila-
delphia yesterday as to the many rumors con-
corning the movements of the pope, and par
ticularly as to the published assertions of the
near removal Of the papal household from
Rome, said that no credence whatever should
be given the statements Said his grace:
1t seems to me that the progressive news
papers of this rapid age do not hesitate to map
out the future of popes and peasants, and the
heartless way in which they periodically en-
broil the nations of Europe in wars would be
highly censurable if the wars so ably planned
ever reached realization. OF course it is all
readable, but, as I said, too much reliance
should not be placed upon things one reads in
the public prints. Now. for instance. the cur
rent number of the Contemporary Review has
as Its leading article anonymous communi-
cation in which the writer gravely outlines the
only way in which the future of Catholicism
may be preserved. Cardinal Gibbons il in
directly selected as the next pope and the
seat of the holy see is transferred from
Rome to London. Now the truth of the
matter is that it is absolutely beyond the power
OF human knowledge to say who will be the
successor OF our good Pope Leo. God. in His
divine providence, watches over the chair of
Peter and in his own time will guide the wis.,
dom OF the conclave of cardinals so that a worthy
man Will be chosen. To speculate to the man
who will be called is sheer nonsense But I
trust that it will be many years before the holy
father will be taken to his reward, and in the
meantime the affairs of the church will be con-
Quoted with the same judicious prudence and
care that have ever been characteristic of the
work OF the hierarchy

A LETTER FROM MIR. BLAINE
His Regret at the Withdrawal of Ex-

Whyte's withdrawal a delegate to the confer
ence with the South American states The let
ter is dated Bar Harbor, and is as follows:
my Dedr Dfr Wbyte: am very sorry to hear of your
withdrawal from the South American Commission,
and yet can well see how it would conflict with your

spect, would strongly contradict the reports

DISASTROUS RAIN STORMS.
Newark Flooded, Railroad Tracks
Washed Out and Travel Suspended.

A most disastrous storm visited the vicinity
Of Newark, N. j., yesterday afternoon and
evening. In the city cellars were flooded and
sewers bursted. Work had to be suspended in
the factories in the lower section. A washout
occurred on the Morris and Essex railroad at
South Orange and trains were delayed for
many hours. In South Orange several build
ings, including the post Office, were carried
away and $50 barrels Of -four were washed out
Of one store house. In Orange Valley the
water is up to the second-story windows and
great damage has been done to the stock in
the numerous hat factories there. People were
compelled to paddle around on planks and to
swim in order to get to places of safety on high
ground. Bloomfield and Mt Clare also report
great damage to property. No lives are known
to have been lost. The greatest alarm pre-
walls around Milburn. Above it is the Orange
reservoir dam, which is not regarded as safe
Should it burst it would overflow Milburn and
other small towns along the Railway river. of
which it is the source, and the damage would
reach as far as Railway. At 10 o'clock last night
the dam was reported all right, but the inhab-
itants of the towns were preparing to move to
high ground. Nearly every road in the coun-
try is impossible, as all the bridges have been
washed away,

Naluables i'm Her Bustle.

A fair smuggler came to grief in New York
yesterday in bidding defiance to fashion edicts
She was handsomely, magnifcently dressed.
She arrived on the steamship Neustra, from
Gibraltar. She wore an immense hustle. The
size would probably have passed unnoticed six
months ago, when expansive bustles were the
rage. But inspectors have noted the collapse
In such adornments, just like other men. and
one Of them reasoned very naturally that a
woman who dressed so much in accordance
with style In other portions OF her raIment
would. unless for some sinister purpose. have
discarded the hustle. He, therefore. ordered
the inspectress, Miss Anna c. Parks. to investi-
gate. She did so. Miss Parks search brought
TO hight five gold chains, thirty three pairs OF
kid gloves, two gold-mounted smelling bottles.
two silver watch chains. nine gold finger rings,
hve gold pendants and five pair of gold ear
rings. The jewelry was duly confscated and
taken 10 the seizure room, and the fair Maria
Nmcenz Chiara was held to answer on q charge
OF attempted smuggling.

CAMPBELL'S NEW AIR SHIP.
Another Balloon to be Built and His
Backer Will Supply Funds.

A New York special to the Philadelphia In
q'tirer saws: John Burrill, the financial hacker
of Campbell. the inventor of the air ship, an
Imitation OF which cost Hogan his life, has
sold some more property and will invest the
proceeds in another balloon. He will furnish
the means to construct one with a capacity of
$4,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas, which will
be attached to the original car, which has been
safely stored away.
Inventor Campbell, in speaking of the sub
iect, said that all the prominent aeronauts
were just pining to give an exhibition in the
new ship. Hogan used an imitation air ship,
but the balloon attached to it was that which
was made by Mr.. Burrill's financial aid. He
said also that Professor Allen. who was once
Dom Pedro's court aeronaut, and who made the
Unsuccessful ascension with the air ship.is ex-

try.

WOMEN WHO GAMBLE,
They Make Great Complaint Because
of the Action Against Bucket Shops,

From the New York World.
The action recently taken by the New York
stock exchange against the bucket shops seems
to be more bitterly complained of by women
who have enjoyed specializing in small way
than by men. "Of course. if win it pleases
me" said lady well known in the speculative
colony the other day; ''but, next to this, 1 like
the excitement of the uncertainty of being a
winner, and the ambition to win point which
an occasional loss imbues me with. l smiled
the other day in reading judiciously worded
circular issued by Mr.. Henry Clews, in which
he says: A legitimate stock broker performs
Cor ought to PERFORM strictly legitimate
transaction acting simply as an intermediary
between the buyer and seller OF actual prop
erty.' Admitting the ought, all persons who
speculate know they can never hold broker
to his 'oughts.'
81 cannot feel, with a friend of mine. that
the bucket shops live and prosper only on the
losses OF customers; that the majority of them
are nothing but the keepers of gambling re-
sorts, whose only aim is to fleece their clients,
My own experience has taught me better. ]
am very fond OF theater-going, and for months
the only way have been able to indulge my
self in this respect to my hearts content was
with what Cleaned through my bucket shop
broker, whom only knew in a business way.
l believe the idea of the true bucket shop
broker is the same as that of the legitimatized
broker, who is a regular member of the ex-
change. to do his best for client, 80 that he
will wish to operate through him again, and
not to bleed him till he has the appearance of
squeezed lemon and then pitch him out.
Every effort may be made to crush them
out of existence. but like the wind that
bloweth where it listeth and thou nearest the
sound thereof but cannot tell whence it cometh
and whittier it goeth,' SO will the bucket shop
broker Dol, up serenely some day, under another
name, perhaps, and though he dwell in the
midst OF Us yet shall we not know whence he
cometh, and he will find warm women sup
porters if his own sex go back upon him."

DEFYING THE AUTHORITIES.
RUDE Burrows Has Sent Word to Take
Him If They Can.

1t has not yet been learned whether the
militia sent by the governor of Alabama to aid
the sheriff in protecting old man Burrows, John
Burrows and the old mans son-in-law Cash
from rescue or lynching at Vernon, as was
stated in yesterdays STAR, have been obliged
to act. 1t is stated, however, that Rube Bur-
rows has gang with him near the mountain
and has sent word to the authorities to come
and take him if they can. His location is
known, and the county is full of private detec-
tives and sheriff's possess The rewards offered
for Rube aggregate $4,000 and desperate at
tempt to take him will be made. 1t is alleged
also that Jim, who was captured in Montgom-
cry last year at the time Rube escaped, and
who was sent back to Arkansas for the Tex
arkana train robbery, did not die as reported
but escaped, and is now in Lamar county with
Rube. People who knew him from boyhood
swear to his identity.
The last crime Of RUDE was the old-blooded
murder of Postmaster Graves for refusing to
deliver Jim an anonymous package Rube
claimed that it was intended for him.
Three years ago Reuben Burrows and his
brother Jim robbed a train in Arkansas and Sc
cured S13, 900 from the express car. They killed
Lamar county, Ala. A few months afterward
detective who followed them to their home in
they were arrested in Montgomery. Rube es-
capped by making dash for liberty from the
uooi VI INC JAIL anu suOOtlnS GOWN q man who
attempted to stop him. Rube disappeared and
was not heard of again until he robbed train
on the Illinois Central railroad, in Mississippi,
last January. He disappeared until two weeks
ago, when ne killed Postmaster Graves.
The Southern express company and the
Illinois Central railroad company started
score Of detectives to Lamar county as soon as
they learned Burrows was there Saturday
last the officer located him in little cabin in a
wild ravine. There were four of the despera-
does with him, and all were heavily armed
Before they could be surrounded the outlaws
quietly slipped out of their hiding place, but
yesterday they were located in a new strong
hold, and the sheriff wants troops to help cap
| ture them.
The father OF Burrows is the oldest resident
OF Lamar county, and he has many relatives.
Nearly all the people in the county who are not
friends Of the outlaws are afraid to aid the
officers, and the country where they are hiding
| is the widest in the state. Burrows is known
to be dead shot with pistol or rifle and is a
stranger to fear
