Tho Patriarchal System Exists-wom,n Treated
NJ Inferiors.
The women OF Heligoland are, gen.
orally speaking. small and gracefully
formed and present remarkable
contrast to their tall and strapping
mates. Tho female loneliness is un-
fortunately some what transient. no
doubt owing in large measure to the
inferior fare and rough work with the
nets. No idea of female suffrage is
ever likely to enter a Heligolander's
head. His idea OF tho relation OF the
sexes is the old one that the man Is
the head OF the wife and that women,
take them as you like, are an inferior
order; they are kind and courteous to
their women In all respects, but there
Is no doubt who is lord and bread
winner Tho patrlarchal system has
scarcely died out. Each lusty. broad
shouldered SOD, though he may havo
passed his twenty-frst birthday, is
required to give all or nearly all his
earnings to his father as long as he
lives in his fathers house. When he
marries and takes up house for him
self then only does the patria protestas
come to an end. Helgolanders as a
rule marry young; there are more wo-
men than men. and it is not difficult
to find mate. Housekeeping is not
nm expensive job, and there is plenty
OF money to be earned If a man is In
telligent and Industrious. 1t may be-
some time before the young husband
has boat OF his own, for boat costs
f25 (they are all built in the island),
but he can always hire one. paying for
its hire about 80 per cent OF the pay
ment he himself charges.

ing her, and was content to walk
about the streets in q state OF happy
dream; md about his dream OF her
face were interwoven dreams of glad,
green fields, murmuring brooks, and
melodious woodland; for he pictured
her as some fair and vague embodi-
ment Of spring; some pale phantom
clad in white draperies of morning
something, seen In the heaving haze
--evnnescent; on the borders of the
mere. This dream floated even as
the haze; and full of it, he wandered
seeking the country instinctively.
BY nightfall he had wandered long
way through the many struggling
villages that hang like children
round the skirts OF London. He was
passing through one Of these when,
fatigue pressing upon hin, he turned
into the bar OF an inn and asked for
some bread and cheese.
"Come u long way, govenor" ask
ed one Of two rough fellows.
81 am going long way" replied
Dumpty. IL am going north-very
tar north"
"And what may yer be going north
for, If may make bold to nsk?"
IL am going to the lady Hove, and
| am taking her beautiful presents of
jewelry."
The two rough fellows exchanged
glances, and it is easy to imagine
how Dumpty was induced to let them
have his diamonds, SO that inquiries
nigh be made Of friend round the
corner regarding their real value.
Having, waited q little while, D,impty
paid for his bread and cheese, and
went in search Of the thieves. But
soon the imagined face of Henrietta
Brown came between him and oil

memberance of thieves and dia-
monds. AND in its bright influence

afforded. And 80 he went until the
first week of his quest drew to it's
close. But rs bodily strength grew
feeler the vision grew more beautiful
and emphatic, until at last he even
neglected to ask for crust, and
wandered foodless from sunrise to
shutdown. Yes, it was soft sum-
mer's night when Dumpty lay down
for the last time, and the heavens
were filled with glorious stars.
Dumpty had continued walking all
that day; but now a great WEAKNESS
had come upon him, and he had
thrown himself upon some hay that
was lying near the roadside. He lay
there looking at the glorious stars,
dreaming her, feeling all sense of
things slipping from him, and in
their place, divine oblivion en-
wrapping him, bringing her closer,
revealing her more intimately to him;
and as the ecstacy OF death deepened
and thickened about him, and when
he opened his eyes for the last time,
it seemed to this poor vagrant that
one of the stars came out of heaven,
and laid it's silver face upon his
shoulder.-St. james Gazette.

BILE position, and he had done the
work demanded ofhim so marvellous
ly well that it was felt that any
change in which Dumpty was con-
cerned would be like challenging the
wisdom Of Providence. Dumpty had
viewed with unalterable calm the
various dynasties that had come and
gone through the swing-doors and
had ruled in the back room. What
did it matter to him? There was his
desk by the dim window; there were
his pens; there was his pen-wiper;
there was the ruler; there was the
blotting-pad. Duinpty was always
the first to arrive and the last to
leave. Only once in his thirty years
ofservice had he voluntarily accept
ed q holiday, and when asked how
he had spent his holiday he an
swered that he had walked about in
the morning looking at the shop
windows, and in the afternoon he
had gone down to the office to see
how they were getting on. He said
that he did not like holidays.
An obscure, clan,lestine, taciturn
little man, whose conical head was
leaned on one side, as if in token of
his humility, occupying in life only
the space necessary to lean over
desk.
1t seemed that Dumpty had no
other ambition than to be allowed
to stagnate at desk for the rest of
his life. And his modest ambition
would, no doubt, have been realized
had it not been for slight accident
the one accident that had found
its way into Dumpty's well-ordered
and closely guarded life. One day
one summers day-when the heat
of the office was more than usually
intense, when the odors from the
deep areas penetrated between the
window and win dow-sashes, Dump
tvs somnolescent senses were moved
by soft and suave perfume. At
first he was puzzled to say whence
it came; then he grew aware that it
proceeded from the bundle of checks
which he held in his hand; and then,
that the odoriferous paper was one
pale pink paper check In the middle
of the bundle. He had hardly seen n
flower for thirty years and could not
determine whether the odor was that
OF mignonetteor honeysuckle or vic.
let. But at that moment the checks
were called for; he handed them to his
superior, and with cool hand and
clear brain continued to make en-
tries in the ledger until the bank
closed.
But that night, just as he was fall
ing asleep, q remembrance OF the
insinuating perlume.returned to him.
He wondered whose check it was and
regretted not having looked Mt the
signature. And many times during
the succeeding weeks he paused as he
was making entries in the ledger to
think whether the haunting perfume
was rose or violet, or mignonette?
Not rose--of that was he sure. And
in these moments vague emotions
were astir; hopes dead long ago or
hopes that had not been born, shad-
ows OF dead dreams--dreams he had
dreAmt or might have dreamt. The
world that swims below the waves OF
consciousness was in motion. Nor had
it's pulsations died wholly away, been
driven back into the neither depths OF
unconsciousness by these we're rule OF
his daily life, when the same delicious
odor, which he now recognized as
: heliotrope, came and took him again
with it6SntirV sweetness. He sought
foritemid the bundle Of checks which

FAIRMoNT, W. VA, Dec. 12.-The first
bloodshed in the mining difficulty at Mo-
nongah occurred late last night, and has
created the most intense excitement. Two
employees of the mines, John jenkins and
a man named Griffin, did not come out with
the strikers, but continued at work. They
had been warned by the striking miners to
quit work, but did not heed them.
Yesterday evening as jenkins and Griffin
were coming from their work, they were at
tackled by some 10 or u of the strikers.
Among the number was Alvin Hall, armed
with knife, who attacked Jenkins and
Griffin. He was told by Jenkins to go away
and not follow them further, but persisted
in so doing. whereupon Jenkins pulled
revolver and fired, the ball entering Halls
body near the heart, from the effects of
which he died about o'clock this morning.
Immediately after the shooting, jenkins
and Griffin started to Fairmont to give
themselves up to the officers of the law.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
WHEELING, Dec 12.-Prominent manufact-
urers and business men of this city held pri-
vate conference here yesterday to consider a
plan to construct railroad from Wheeling to
Connellsyllle, so as to give the manufacturers
of this community an independent line to the
coke region. The road will also be connect
ing link in the shortest line between the East
ern seaboard and the West.
For short time the manufacturers have
viewed with uneasIness the enterprise with
which Pittsburg has reached out to monopolize
the coal, iron, stone and timber of the Mount
ain State, and they have at last decided to
reach out and hold the trade themselves. The
plans have been sufficiently matured to make
it very probable that the road will be built at
an early day. The road will be known as the
Wheeling and Eastern Railroad Company, and
the incorporators will likely be all Wheeling
men, although some other great interests, it is
said. will be represented in the company after
ward. 1t is proposed to extend branch to
some point in the valley of the Cheat river and
connect with one of the systems now being ex-
tended from the West Virginia coke and coal
fields toward Pittsburg. In this way they will
be placed on an even footing with Pittsburg.
The line to Connellsville has been located.

"Fitzsimmons is by nature a hard-working
industrious man, and is never so well satisfied
4 when employed at some sort of work.
shall take advantage of thIs splendid trait and
try to make his training a pleasure rather than
the hard work il usually proves to be to the
fighter In general. L shall send him out on long
walks. Of course, hut these walks will be al
ways IN the direction of pleasure, such as hunt
ing. fishing and rowing as he Is a first-class
hOrseshOer, he will OccaSonally show his skill
in that direction by doing up couple of mules
or horses-in fact. any sort of animals that
need shoes that sho up for him to
exercise upon Of course there will
be ball punching and sparrinG. The
former will be done when FitZsimmons
feels inclined to exercise bit which will be
pretty often, and the latter viii take place
whenever any of the inhabitants OF the Bay who
aspire TO puCilistc honors or who would like 4
little Tree practice IN the art OF Self-defenSe
show uD At the quarters to have little spar ,
they term it. Ny methods in training men
differ greatly from those of most people, and.
in my opinion, to be good trainer man must
be a good reader OF human nature and give a
man the work which will be the least hardship
for him and give him the most pleasure. For
what will suit one man would be hard work for
another, and one must have his man carefully
SIZED up before he prescribes course of train
ing for him"
