SHAMoKIs DAM.-Sunday Sept. lst
was quite an interesting day for the
Lutherans of this place. They dedi-
Gated their new church and raised
five hundred dollars on the occasion
which pays all the debts. The
church is a neat structure, finished
and well furnished and is credit to
the place. The whole cost of build
ing was about four Thousand dollars.
Clements Park is getting to be "A
great picnic place, as scarcely a day
passes that there are not one or two

Many come from quite II distance,
and hardly day passes without a
fight-yesterday a laby % whaled n
man with pailing till he got sand
in his teeth. Strange that of all the
fights there is seldom any one from
this place concerned in it, but poor
Shamokin Dam gets the credit as
being the worst place on this side of
Kratzerville. But taking it as a
whole, Shamokin Dam has about as
respectable people as any other
towp,of it's size. And what gives il
. bad name is the off-scourings OF
other pieces.

perceived that the machine was too bulky TO
admit Of being carried around on the excursion

LUNCHrNo AMID RUINS.
There was something very pathetic about the
surroundings amid which the party lunched 70
day. Everywhere there were blackened walls,
wrecked pictures and water-soaked drsperies.
Only a week ago the $S00, 900 home Of Delegate
Glenn Studebaker was devastated BY fire, and
today more than hundred people were seated
in the restored dining room and served with Q
Hoosier lunch. The visitors were received by
the ladies Of the household, Mrs. Studebaker
alone being absent-she not having recovered
from the injuries received on the night Of the
fire. In addition TO the members Of the inter-
national excursion party there were present
thirty-two Chicagoans-a reception committee
headed by Senator Farwell General Crook
and Potter Palmer. The others were all men
of prominence. and every one Of them was
hustling for all he knew how in favor Of Chica-

A Town Raided bv Raa-..

Duryes, little mining town two miles north
Of Pittston, Pa, is literally overrun with wild
bears, and for the past two weeks the residents
have been kept in a state of mortal fear lest
they should come in contact with the savage
animals unawares. Yesterday afternoon again
the local hunters we're thrown into excitemen,
when the report came that three Of the huge
black brutes had entered the outskirts of the
town and that the women and children we're
terror stricken. Armed with rifles the men
went to the scene and there they found the
animals, who had the streets all to themselves
the people having fed before them. At the
sight OF the weapons the bears ran, the hunters
following in close pursuit All but one, the
smallest Of three, escaped. This was shot sew.

STARVED ON AN ISLAND.
-Four Men Forgotten by the Governmen,
that Sent Them to Alcatrax.


News Of trssical interest comes from little
rocky island some ways north Of Sierra Leone,
on the west coast Of Africa Alcatraz Island
has no inhabitants, and would be perfectly
valueless were IL not that IL has considerable
deposit OF guano. The guano beds have been
very little worked, but France thought IL worth
while to take possession of the island, and over
two years ago four men we're set ashore there
BY order Of the governor Of Senegal to maintain
the rights Of the French flag.
Through most remarkable carelessneu the
men who were sent to live on the barren rock
entirely passed out Of the minds Of the suthori-
ties. The blunder 10 said to have been due
partly to changes in the administration Of Sene-
case. Everybody in Senegal is trying TO shift
the responsibility on somebody else. One day
recently document was fshed out of pigeon.
hole showing that over two years ago four men
had been landed on the island in behalf Of the
government.
There was considerable CONSERVATION when
this fact was discovered, a. there were not .
few persons who then recalled the incident. No
time was lost IN sending vessel to the island.
1t was estimated that the men had about six
months, supply OF provisions when they landed.
The only hope that they were alive was that
some passing vessel had seen their signals Of
distress and taken them off,
The hope was instantly dispelled when the
vessel reached the island. Only few minutes
elapsed before the skeletons Of the four men
were found stretched upon the rocks of the
uninviting little spot. They had doubtless
persisted by inches Of starvation. The reefs in
that neighborhood are dangerous, and vessels
generally give the island wide berth. The
island is for out Of sight of the mainland, the
doomed men had no boat, and there was
nothing for them to do except to die. forgot
ten, az they were, by all the world. Their
bones were taken back to Senegal for burial

The Laborers' Houses of Berlin,

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Some startling and painful facts were brought
to light at Q conference Of the societies for the
promotion Of morality held last month in Ber-
lin. In paper on the housing Of the poor in
Berlin it was stated that half @ of the dwell
ings consist Of one room. to which in some rare
cases q small cupboard-like one is attached In
one Of these rooms are often found sleeping
from ten TO fifteen persons, old and young;
10O, 600 men and more sleep in cellars and at
are to be found herded together. The number
OF illegitimate births in Berlin is 16 per cent,
or double the number in London. The prices
paid for rooms are very high, and one conse-
quence of this is that very many of the sc, 600
prostitutes in Berlin are received into families
as dodgers, with view to the lessening Of the
rental. They are the ladies of the house, and
both parents and children shun them, and the
latter, seeing the idle life these dodgers live
and the beautiful clothes they wear, soon learn
to enter on the same awful course.
