TWO NOTED WOMEN GONE,
Maria Mitchell, the Astronomer, and
Carlotta Patti, the Famous Singer.

Maria Mitchell, the noted astronomer, died
at $50 in the morning ct the residence of
Mrs. benjamin II. Currier, in Lynn, Mass She
has suffered with disease of the brain and
been failing for the past year and half.
The remains were taken to Nantucket for
burial.
Maria Mitchell was daughter of William
Mitchell, the astronomer, and was born in
Nantucket, Mass, August l, 1918. She early
made such progress i'll mathematical and as
Economical studies as to be able to assist her
father in his Investigations. She devoted
much time to astronomical research, espe-
cialy in the line of nebulR and comets.
In 1847 came the discovery of the comet
which introduced the young astronomer to
the older astronomers. The King of Denmark
gave her a gold medal in recognition Of tho
discovery. There are seven other comets
which she has found. She was in advance of
other watchers in some cases by few days,
in others by only few hours. Soon after 1847
Miss Mitchell went to Europe. In England
she was the guest of Sir John Herschell and
Sir George Airy, then astronomer royal at
Greenwich.
In 1865 Miss Mitchell was called to the chair
of astronomy at Vassar College where she
remained until 1888, when she offered her res
ignation. The trustees refused to accept it,
but granted her leave of absence. The degree
of IL D. wa. conferred upon her in 1852 by
Hanover, and by Columbia in 1888.

TRAINS IN COLLISION.
FrightfuI Loss of Life in a PennsyE-
vania Wreck.

A triple collision of freight trains occurred
near Latrobe, Penn, forty miles east Of Pitts
burg on the Pennsylvania Railroad about
2:3O o'clock in the morning. Thirty cars were
wrecked.
It was believed that thirty people were
killed
At the hour named, freight train No 308,
west bound, left Latrobe and had ustreached
the bridge, about fifty yards west OF that
place, when it collided with extra freight
train No. 1913 coming in the opposite direc
ton. Another east bound freight was stand
inc on a side track on the bridge and the
wrecked trains crashed against it, causing one
locomotive and number of cars to go over
the embankment into the creek, distance Of
fifty feet.
Engineer Caldwell and his firemen were
killed instantly. Brakeman Miller was ter
riblv aud fatally crushed. The bodies offour
traInps were taken from the wreck. There
was nothing about their clothes to identify
them. They were stealing ride, and were
coninp west. The loss to the railroad COM
pany was very heavy.
Thirty-One cars went down over the bridge,
and are piled one upon the other in the wa
ter. The conductor of the freight said
that in all probability thirty or
forty men were still under the
wreck, as he put off at Derry station about
fortv-five men, who were 1abOrers- returning
from Johnstown He said that when he moved
out great many of them got on again, and
in that case it was more than likely that the
killed would reach the number given.
A car load of lime in the centre OF the train
was the last to 90 down. and it was scattered
over the pile of shattered cars. Then the de-
bris took fire. Arms and legs of the victims
could be seen protruding from the daorls.

-Four w omen and Two Men Su6O-
Gated by Gas in Paterson. N. j.
The bodies Of six persons two men and four
women, were found asphyxiated by gas at
No 50 Water street, Paterson, N. J. The
apartment on the lower floor of the house
was occupied by John Godfrey, aged nearly
eighty years, a silk weaver in the employ
of r. g. II. Adams. Although he had only
one room with a partition running partly
across it near the rear, he had been in the
habit of giving lodging to abandoned women
who called at his place at all hours of the
night. Three days before the discovery a
number were there and since that time
there had been no sign of life about
the place. Mrs. Seiferth who lives no
stairs, noticed a smell Of gas and informed
the police of the case. An entrance was
forced and q horrible sight presented itself
In the forward part Of the apartment were
the bodies of four women, three on the floor
and one on a chair. One of the women
lay in a pool of blood, but this
is believed to have been caused by
fall, there was no evidence of a fight,
although the greatest disorder prevailed. In
the rear Of the room was found Godfrey's
body and that of another man, the latter
sitting on the floor, dressed. None but God
frey was identified The gas came from
gas stove near Godfreys body, the stop-cock
of which had not been fully Gurned off.

DURANGO IN FLAMES.
Half of Colorado City Destroyed by
Fire

Fire started in the southern part of Ou-
range, Col, at 3 o'clock il the afternoon,

Carlotta Patti de Munck has just died in
Paris in the forty-ninth year of her age. She
was the daughter of Salvatore Patti, an Ital-
ian singer, and Of Spanish mother, well
known before her marriage with Patti as Sig
nora Barili. She was a sister of the famous
Adalina Patti-Nicoini.
Carlotta Patti was one of the greatest song
birds Of the world, and had it not been for
her defect of lameness she would have rivaled
if not eclipsed the fame Of her sister Adelina.
AS it was, her sphere was restricted, and her
reputation was less general.
Her voice was the marvel of her time; and
was probably the highest soprano ever
known; while her execution has been re-
garded as extraordinary.
She tried the experiment of singing in
opera, appearing in the Magic Flute, " where
the heroine is not obliged to be active but her
physical limitations made her efforts unsuc-
cessful.
AS q concert singer her fame was world
wide. But this success did not satisfy her am
bition, and toward the last she grew to be a
disappointed and unhappy woman.
It was a sore trial to her pride to be regarded
as SO inferior to her sister, when she felt, but
for the misfortune of her lameness, that she
would have been the greater Patti. Of late
years she has not appeared frequently in pub
lie. In 1879 she married the well known vio-
hncellist Ernst de Munck-

Newspapers in a Utilitarian Light

There is 70 article so inexpensive which
after it has been read and is ready to send
to the kindling box, in those cases where
file of newspapers is not systematically
kept. Nearly all good housekeepers know
how invaluable newspapers are in packing
away the winter clothing, the printing
ink acting as a defiance to the stOutest
camphOr or tar paper. For this reason
newspapers are invaluable under the
carpet laid over the regular carpetpaper
The most valuable quality of newsnapers

keep out the air. 1t is we'll known that
ice completely envelOppd in newspapers,
so all air is shut out. will keen a longer
time than under other conditions, and
that pitcher of ice water laid in news
paper with the ends of the paper twisted
tOgerher to exclude the air. will remain
all night in any summer room with
scarcely any perceptihe melting of the
ice. These facts should beutilized oftener
than thew are in the care Of the sick at
night. In freezing ice-cream when the ice
is scarce pack the freezer onlv three-quar-

by certain date, the work is ready lit
tie in advance of the date.
All this comes of a habit of fOrecasting,
planning out, of working daily according
to settled programme, of allowing for
each tick of the pendulum asecond to tick
in.
If the person who is always in hurry
will sit quietly down and make a list of
what he has to do, what must be done,
what may be omitted, and of the time
each task will probably take, of the limit
beyond which work cannot be deferred,
and will then simply work up to his pro-
gramme, he will find no need to be in a
hurry
Some housekeepers are always in hur-
nv about breakfast or dinner, or getting
to church, or having their sewing done, or
making calls, or something else and they
do not realize that hurry is in their state
of mind, is within them. and not caused
by circumstances outside of them.-New

Hurry.

Some people are always in hurry, and
generally always behind-hand. The two
go together; for hurry is the child of a
state of mind rather than of train ofcir-
cumstances. The methOdical man is never
in a hurry He moves along in his orbit,
as Goethe says the stars do, without
haste and without rest" He knows what
is first to be done, what next, and how
long each item to be attended to will re-
quire He sees in an exigency what can
be omitted or deferred, and what mustbe
done according to the programme he has
made. If he is due at a certain train he
is there on time, with five or ten minutes
to spare. If a certain task is to be done

Appreciative Words.

We have read somewhere that a Scotch
man never tells his wife he loves her until
she is dying. However true that state
ment may be, which we can hardly be-
leive. it might be said also of others beside
Scotchmen. We know of many people
who rarely, if ever, speak loving, tender
words in their families, vet they are not
devoid of affection, and would be deeply
indignant we're they told that such was
implied in their daily intercourse with
them. They are undemOnstrative and
silent. They seldom show or express in
words their tenderness or love, even when
the honest SER timents of their hearts can
mean nothing less.
We consider such persons extremelvun
fortunate. 1t has always seemed strange
tons why few tender, appreciative words
should be withheld when thev invariably
bring so much pleasure and cost SO little
and are seemingly such a small invest
ment, with such large returns! It is to
thOughtlesSness, doubtless. that vast
amount of the unsaid words. which make
un the sweetness of social and domestic
life, is DUE A few pleasant words and
little praise will bring the sunshine in
family for whole day. None Of us are
above little flattering now and then; we
all love dearly to have our work appreci-
ated Do not he afraid of OVERRIDING the
matter We fail far Oftener in the con-
trarv direction. Have Won those in vonr
employ who are doing good faithful work?
Tell them frankly that YOU appreciate
their services IT will not hurt YOU to saw
it. but will do them world of good in
tightening what may be to them a weary,
irksOme load Tell them of the good and
pleasant things YOU hear abOutthem and
their work. You may call it "taffy,
which Won affect to dispose, but what fit
is? "Taffy'' is one of the very best of our
commodities: why not use it more freely?
1t is one of the hest lnbricatOrs imagin-
able for the household machinery. Some

F'taffv'' for our friends while living is far
better than SO much ''ephitaphy'' after
they are dead!

J.F. COLON is at last out on bail.
The additional bonds of S4S,500 were
obtained last night, and at about 10
o'clock the party, composed of Collom's
attorneys. his partner, c. j. lockwood,
and others proceeded to the Jail. after
having spent three hours at the NUM-
cipal court with Judge Emery, looking
over the bonds with the states attorney,
Frank NJ. Nye. The work was tedious,
and kept the gentlemen busy so long
that COLON gave up the expectation of
receiving bail last night and had re-
tired. His friends gained access to the
jail, showed their authority to the
sheriff and COLON was informed that
he was free man. In a few minutes
he had donned his clothing, and, bid
ding his jailer good night, took carriage
for his residence. He was rather glad
to get out, though he has been quite
comfortable at the Jail, and is looking
better physically than when he entered
it. 1t is pretty well understood that
proceedings are stopped until the grand
Jury meets. The following are the gen.
