these lines, to show that Mr.. Blaine ia q
little cranky ON reciprocal free trade aud,
hence, there is no use in paying much
attention to what he says. Here are three
ways ont, and you can take your choice.
But through all this maze Of avoidance
and observation, there is no explicit de-
nial-but on the contrary tacit admis-

perfectly awful against the high and holy

readers will come 10 the conclusion that
when Mr.. Blackburn reported him as de-

DUSBlR, Pa, June 22.-The low slope OF
the Hill Farm mine has filed with water,
and the son Of Peter Egan said tonight,
with tears In his eyes, that he had given up
nil hopes Of ever seeing his father alive.
Egan was working at the lowest point Of
the mine, and would be dead long before
this. Egan Is "A bright young fellow, and
the work OF helping to support large
family will fall heavily on his shoulders
He says he will never go into a mine. His
father would not permit him to enter the
mine with him.
Many OF tho miners are superstltious, and
arc asserting that bad luck followed the
mines. An old miner, commonly known as
Mike, the Gouger," says the night before
the disaster he saw cloud hanging over
the mouth OF tho pit and would not enter
the mine on the fatal Monday. His super.

And called him trickster. whispered his disgrace.

Horrible Punishment.

Women are never incarcerated in pub

detention i'm the house of priest is the
usual punishment inflicted upon them for
small Offenses. When their crimes are
such as to merit capital punishment how
ever no mercy is shown them because they
are women.
Near the city of ShraZ is a deep we'll
into which women guilty of certain crimes
are cast alive. The woman is conducted to
the well. seated on the back of a donkey
with her face toward its tail. She is fol-
lowed by hOotng mob. who fling mud at
her and jeer at her misery. Arriving at the
we'll she is made to kneel down at its brink.

THAT TERRIBLE GRIPPE. .
What 1t Really Is Explained by One of the
Best Informed Men In America.

The president of one of the leading New York
medical colleges, in conversation with the
writer the other evening" said
LA Grippe" the Russian influenza, that has
eau ed so much talk, IS more severe sffiiction
than people usually think 1t arises mysteriously
and appears TO have its origin IN the atmOS-
phere. The last time III visited America as in
1903, and it came then, as now, from ASIA. The
name Influenza comes from the suggestion
that the maiady was due TO the influences OF
the heavenly bodies, but more modern science
has discovered that it is due TO the changes in
the electrical conditions. Whatever may be the
cause, it is u strong congestion of the blood
vessels and mucous membrane. principally in
the head and throat, and nothing but strong
stimulants will check this congestion and keep
the blood actively circulating. For this purpose
know of nothiIg Letter than whiskey, and i
believe Duffys Pure Malt to be the best and
purest whisky known to tie world.
Formerly the influenza was said TO preeede
an epidemic of the plague, and the person who
was about to be token with the latter, had rs a
preliminary u fit of SneeZing Now III precedes
u worse epidemic than the plague namely, the
terrible pneumonia IJs beginning is slight, but
its ending is often terrible. Pains in the limbs,
back chest and head; a sore throat and lack OF
appetite; copious discharge of the nose; these
are some of the symptoms Of this dread disease
Upon the slightest approach of any of these
symptoms, q nervous feeling or laSSiIude, resort
should be had to q pure whisky, which is the
only certain means OF breaking up this epidemic
before it secures hold upon the system or check
it when il has become started. are should be
taken, however, to secure only that which is
pure, as the article above named cet atnly is

She Said No More.

A young botanist was showing party
of ladies and gentlemen through the con-
servatories, and explaining to them the
properties of some of the choicest plants
and flowers. Among the visitors was a
middle aged lady, who. at every descrip-
ton on the part of the lecturer, volun-
teered the statement that the plants and
flowers she had at home were quite equal
to anything exhibited at the Botanical
gardens. Just as they were passing the
giant cactus, she was heard to exclaim:
well, this is nothing extraordinary;
have cactus at home that is still
larger; planted and reared it myself"
REARED it YOURSELF" the professor
gently observed. ''How remarkable!
This specimen is sixty-three years old,
and if yours is still larger"

more, but executed a strategic move
