Valuable Advice for the Present Day.

Mrs. Helen E. Sterrett, in a recent num-
Der of the Forum, contributes an article
entitled Housekeeping in the Future"
In it she tells how in few years electricity
will supply light for the home, the family
cooking and washing will be done outside.
and there will be so little work in the
household that the occupation of the do
nestle servant will be gone.
But Mrs. Sterrett's article is simply
prediction, and has no more than passing
interest for the ladies who live in 1890.
Their social and household cares are strain
ing their delicate, nervous system, and the
result is terrible. Headaches, backaches,
and womanly ills are growing alarmingly
common. Many of them find that men,
DRY is failing; they are unable to recall
the names of friends or tell whether they
have performed some of their usual house
hold duties.
Their nerves are in such condition
that very slight causes, or perhaps no cause
at all, may irritate them. Life grows to be
burden. There is no need for despair,
but there is great need of caution. Their
nerves should be built up, life fortified,
and brain restored with that remarkable,
preparation, Paine's Celery Compoun'
Instead of the depressed and languid feel
ings, after the Compound has been used,
they will feel active, vigorous, and happy.
To those who are weak and failing, and
desire health and happiness instead OF i'll
ness and misery, we earnestly urge that
they act upon this advice.

NAY LEAVE THE PRISON.
Chicago Anarchists Favored by the
Supreme Court.

supreme Court.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 7.-Chief JUS
tice Slope has granted writ of error in
the case OF Fielden and Schwab, the i'm
prisoned Anarchists, in order that the
question of the right of the condemned
men to be personally present in court
when the decision of the state SUI
preme court was rendered may be de-
termlned.
This will serve to again rivet the atten-
ton of the entire world on the penlten-
tiarv at joliet, wherein are confined
three men applauded by their followers
as martyrs to the cause of Anarchy-two
OF them serving life sentences, and the
other ffteen-year term for participa-
ton in the haymarket riot at Chicago
the night Of May 4, 1856.
Briefly stated, the ground on which
the writ is granted is that the defend
ants were not present when the su-
preme court affirmed the rulings Of
the Chicago court in affirming the
verdict in the cases of the several An
archists and the sentences OF death or
imprisonment. The law requires that
they shall be present, and the records
say they were present.
This question las never before been
raised in the annals of the country. and
hence the action of the United States
supreme court will be eagerly awaited.
Should it decide that the right exists to
prisoners to be present in the state SUI
preme court when final Judgment Is
passed, then not only Fielden, Schwab
and Neebe get new trial, but Spies,
Parsons, Fischer, and Engei illegally
suffered the death penalty. and every
inmate Of the prisons O the state,
whose case has received an affirmative
Judgment in the state court without the
prisoner being present ID person, has
been illegally imprisoned.
" lille lawyers conversant with the
case in all its details do not Iear or an
ticipate any such determination of the
case as this, yet the fact that there is a
possibility of just such a termination
remains and must not be lost sight Of,
and it may be said the condemned An
archists at Jojiet can still entertain some
hope of again breathing the air of tree
dom.
Leading lawyers here, in interviews,
say that in their Judgment the impris-
oned Anarchists can receive no benefit,
whatever the decision of the United
States supreme court may be; that there
is no claim Of error In the lower
courts, and that if the federal
court holds that the prisoners should
have been present in the state supreme
court when the sentence of the lower
court was affirmed, its effect will merely
be to send the prisoners before that
tribunal Tor confirmation of the SEN
tence ofthe lower court. The lower court
sentenced them to be hanged, and if the
point is sustained they would have 10
undergo that penalty unless they could
again prevail on their governor to COM
mute their sentences, as was done by
the governor then in Office.
The case will come up for preliminary
hearing at Washington at the October
term of the United States supreme
court.

GREENWAY IN DISGRACE.

A Scandal Touching the Leader of the
Manitoba Government Party.
WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 5.--An attempt
was made in the House of Assembly,
yesterday, to bring up matter that has
been the talk of the city for several
days. 1t appears that for some time
past public opinion at Winnipeg has
disapproved of the marked attention
Premier Greenway, the leader of the
Manitoba government, was paying to a
certain young lady of that city. He took
room at the Nicollet Hotel, and, in
company with the young lady in ques-
ton, retired for the night. The pro-
prietor of the hotel ordered the door
broken down, and the clothes Of the
couple were removed. The Premier paid
$1,000 to hush the matter up, but the
story leaked out. The attempt Of yes
terday to air the matter in the House
was defeated by the Speaker. but it will
be brought up again. Premier Green
way is married and has twelve children.

PORTLAND IN DANGER.
The City Threatened by Flood-FOot of
Water la he Streets

The City Threntened by 81 Flood-FOot of
Water ia he Streets
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb 5.-For several
days past the city Of Portland and other
points in Oregon have been practically
cut off from telegr&phic communi-
cation; and from telegram re-
celved this afternoon by the Postal
telegraph Company at Montreal, by G..
l.. Hosmer, OF the Canadian Pacific, and
orwarded by him to the Associated
Press here, it would seem that the city
Of Portland is in danger from
floods. The message, which came
from Portland this afternoon,
flooding First Street and is knee deep.
All traffic in the streets is suspended. as
the only means Of communication is by
small boats. The Pacific Postal Tele-
graph office floor is covered with water,
and the river is still raising. There is
no news from the South.''
The situation at Portland is undoubt-
edly due to the rapid rise of the Villa
mette River. 1t flows into the Coium-
bia just above Portland. For nearly a
month past the hills and mountains
through which this river flows have
been piled with continually falling
now. The drifts in some places were
teen and twenty feet high. During
past few days, however, the warm
lnds have melted this snow, and the
willamette River has become a tor
rent.
On the Northern Pacific, between
Noxon and Trout Creek, there have
been several avalanches since last Satur-
day, and the telegraph lines there are
also interrupted.
JACKSONVILLE, Ore, Feb. 5.-A phe-
nomenal rainstorm has prevailed in
Southern Oregon since last Friday,
which, in connection with the melting
snow In the mountains, has caused the
greatest flood known since the country
was settled.
The damage to the Southern Oregon
cannot be estimated rs yet. for postal
communication is go uncertain and
limited tibet only surmises can be made
of the ravages of the water on the line
OF the numerous tributaries of the Rogue

SIX SCORE ARE DEAD.
FrIghtfu1 Fatality in an English
Coal Mine

SOdG
LONDON, Feb. Can explosion oc-
Cured to-day in a colliery at Aber-
sychan, in Monmouthshire, ten miles
northwest of Newport.
Three hundred miners were impris-
oned, and for several hours no COM
munication could be had with them.
An opening was finally effected, and
at noon 200 of them had been rescued.
A number of those taken out are SCI
verely injured.
Rescuing parties are still searching for
those remaining in the mine.
1t is feared that it will be impossible
to rescue the miners who are still i'm
prisoned.
Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon forty
bodies had been taken from the mine.
Fifty miners are still imprisoned. 1t is
not known whether they ale dead or
alive.
The owners Of the colliery estimate
that l20 persons have lost their lives by
the explosion.
The scene of the disaster is in Mon
mouthshire, ten miles from Newport
and about 140 miles from London. 1t
is strictly a mining tow and has a
population of $4,000.
The cause of the explosion was the
Hoodlng OF the pits adjacent to that in
which the explosion occurred. BY the
flooding Of these pits gas was dislodged
and forced into the pit where work was
in progress and there it was ignited and
exploded. There must have been a
great quantity OF gas. as the explosion
had tremendous force. 1t was heard at
the distance of a mile. All the geering
Nh the shaft was thrown into the air as if
from the mouth of a volcano, and stimuli
taneously a vast bright volume of flame
shot upward, followed by dense, heavy
column oil smoke.

A Peoria dispatch of the Sd says: At
$50 tonight, as an Ohio, Indiana &
Western freight train started over the
bridge spenning the river at Bridge
Junction, the first span suddenly sank,
precipitating the engine, tender and
three cars into the river. Three men
were in the cab, Engineer VIM. Neville,
Fireman c. O'Brien and Head Brake

fireman and brakeman were buried

The engineer was pinned in the cab,

standing on the dead body of the fire.
man, but fastened in such way that he
could not be extricated. The physicians
and others worked all night trying to
get him out, applying hot water to keep
him from chilling to death, and pouring
brandy down his throat. He is still
alive, but there are no hopes of getting
him out. The surgeons would cut his
legs off, but cannot on account of the
water and debris. A later dispatch
announces the death Of the engineer.
The bridge is owned by the Peoria &
Pekin Union road, and was built in 1872
at cost of $4,000. It was inspected
four years ago by an expert diver from
Chicago, and pronounced in good con-
dition. 1t is the supposition that the
engine jumped the track owing to
spreading rails, and broke the supports
off close to the stone pier. There are
ninety-four trains passing over the
bridge daily, and traffic will be delayed
for several days. Following the freight
train were two passenger trains heavily
loaded. Trains are all being sent out
tonight over the Terre Haute d Peoria
