LANCASHIRE LASSES,
They Are tho Strongest Female Workers
in All Europe.

in All Europe.
The Lancashire women, at least, are
the rosiest, strongest set of women
iinaginable-that is, on Sundays and
holidays, when repeated washings and
scrubbings have removed several lay
ers of coal-dust; and it is notorious,
locally, that at a pinch most of them
are equal in PHYSICAL power to their
masculine colleagues. At home they are
inferior to any class of women, working
or otherwise. Being engaged in the
open air all day, they can naturally
turn in the evenings with more than
ordinary zest to household duties.
In a word, they are thoroughly do
mesticated Lastly-and this, after all,
is the great poin.-their demeanor and
general conduct are absolutely unim.
peachable.
AS to the working dress Of the pit
women, that is certainly peculiar, looked
at from conventional standpoint
Up to few years ago they were at
tired like men up to the waist, with
buckled clogs on their feet Above the
knees came the end of peculiarly-fash-
Toned tunic, composite sort of a gar
ment-half jacket, half dress, with some
sacking material tied round the waist
as an apron.
limp bonnet, tied under the chin,
or sort OF turban, so arranged as just
to show the neatly-plaited hair and the
brightear-rings, completed the costume,
and very odd it looked. especially at
distance, which in this case did not lend
enchan tment to the view.
Now, out of Difference to the feelings
of certain peculiarly sensitive people,
the tunic is worn little longer, so as
nearly to hide the masculine garment,
the head-dress is little neater, and. in
addition. short jacket is worn.
The dress is certainly not picturesque,
but as means to an end, as allowing
the utmost freedom of motion and OBJ
waiting accidents. it is beyond all praise.
Nevertheless, the women themselves
are conscious Of its incongruity, and
take the earliest opportunity of chang
ing it for ordinary female attire as soon
as they get home from work.
1t has happened before now that while
proceeding to or from work they have,
some of them, been made the subject Of
attack by somebody with An undue pro-
portion of tongue to brain, but-this
may be said with safety-never more
than once by the same individual.
In addition to possessing q highly.
vigorous vocabulary they are so hard.

that they can give a good account Of
themselves, even though a fight should
ensue, and the opponent may have rea-

matadores or picadores were especially
anxious to get within the animals reach.
| They approached him in body, each
ready to help the other.
At this Juncture, however, a disturb
ance on one side of the arena attracted
the attention of the audience. The bull
was standing with his back to Alfonso;
but the boy did not heed this. He did
not understand the rules and regula-
lions of the fight, and without thinking
he jumped over the railing and dro pped
lightly into the arena. He rushed to-
ward the savage bull, shouting aloud:
''Poor Bella, good Bella. 1t is Al
fonso; don't you know me, Bella?'
The bull turned his head, pricked up
his ears, and then wheeled around and
trotted up to the boy.
There was breathless silence in the
vast amphitheater, and every one ex-
pected to see the little boy tossed up
into the air and killed. The sight
made many shudder, and few of the
ladies screamed. But Alfonso was not
afraid; he recognized in the savage bull
his lost pet
Bella was no less glad to see the boy
than Alfonso was to see his pet. In
stead of tossing the boy up in the air,
the big animal approached his side, and
licked the boys hands affectionately.
Alfonso threw his arms around the
thick neck as of old, and Rugged Bella
gleefully.
For several minutes this strange
scene held the audience spellbound.
Then a shout rang out that startled the
boy and bull Such an act Of heroism
had never before been witnessed in
bull-fght. The boy, still clinging to
his pet gazed around at the audience in
confused way. He was just beginning
to realize his position. For q moment
he had imagined himself back in his
little forest home.
The managers of the fight were in
terested in the little scene. The mata
dores and picadores were requested to
withdraw. Then it was decided that,
inasmuch as Alfonso had conquered the
bull, he was entitled to the animal
The audience applauded this decision,
and little Alfonso was requested to lead
his prize away.
This he did, Bella following meekly
behind him, and showing no more
signs of fight. Through the streets Of
Cordova he led the fierce bull, people
hiding themselves in stores and houses
as the strange couple passed along.
Bella was kept in Cordova close to
Alfonso's place of work, and every day
the two spent some time together. AL
fonso lived to be an old, respected mer-
chant Of Cordova: but he never parted
with Bella until death claimed the
noble animal.-George E. Walsh, in
Yankee Blade.

Some of the largest and finest OF
SPANS fighting bulls had been obtained
for the occasion. Every thing that
could make the fight a success had been
promised the citizens.
Alfonso had never witnessed a bull
fight, but he was so carried away with
the enthusiasm of others around him
that he eagerly looked forward to the
anticipated sport Early in the day he
obtained seat among the poorer classes
of spectators. From his lowly seat he
watched the fair women and richly
dressed men file into the great boxes
near the main pavilion. and he longing
ly wished that he was of their number.
The trumpet note of warning soon
after sounded, and silence fell upon the
vast audience. The matadores and plea
dores filed into the arena, and graceful
~ saluted the audience. Then they
rode around the vast circle. and signi.
fed their readiness to begin the fight
The first victim of the day was then
let into the arena. 1t was a large.
fierce-looking bull, with a shaggy head
and determined look in his eyes. But
in spite OF his strength and ferceness
he was soon dispatched, after he had
wounded one man and a horse.
Another one was brought out, and
skillfully killed. Three others fol-
lowed, and fought nobly for their lives.

AN AWFUL CALAMITY
Seven Hundred People Thrown Into the
Sea al Dartmouth.
A Struggling Mass OF Men, Women
and Children Pray for Help as
They Sink to Their Grave
-Sorrowful Scenes.

HALIFAN, \. -, July ia terrible ac-
cident occurred at Dartmouth tonight by
which number OF people were drowned,
but the exact number OF victims will not
be known till tomorrow. The disaster
happened by reason OF chain attached To
ferryboat slipping out of place and al
lowing the front Of the bridge to sink and
prccipitate the crowd OF GOO or 200 men,
women and children into the water.
The people were crowded there waiting
for the new ferry steamer Annex which
had just arrived from New York 20
dock. When the steamer got within two
feet OF the landing number of persons
jumped on board, and al that moment the
accident occurred. The outer end of the
bridge went down suddenly and the terror
stricken crowd slipped oil into the harbor
as though they were descending "a slide,
piling on top Of each other. shricking for
help and scrambling for means of safety.
For some moments there was a con-
fused mass Of men, women and children
str,Iggl ng in the water.
But the accident had hardly happened
before dozen men leaped to the rescue
of the drowning people and they were rap
idly passed up TO men standing above on
the wharves. and the rapidity with which
the rescuers performed their work resulted
who fell in being saved from
| death. When the crowd slipped
| oil the landing stage, the people aroun d
numbering some hundreds, crowded to
the sides Of the wharf and threw sticks
and boards Ia the struggling mass in the
water, while a number of life preservcrs
were thrown them from the steamer.
Many people were struck and injured by
the flying boards and all the bodies re-
| covered bear cuts and bruises.
| Statements of the spectators show that
most of those who fell in were women aud
children and the scenes Immediately fol-
| lowing the disaster were frightful.
| When all those in sight had been
brought To land the work of graphing for
| the drowned was commenced. Within
| two hours four bodies were recovered. hut
| up To midnight no other bodies had been
recovered. Ii Is believed at least three or
four others are lost, but the exact number
cannot be told at present.
Intense excitement prevailed in Dart
mouth aud Halifax when the news of the
disaster spread, and thousands fiocked to
the scene where they remained until d
late hour watching those working in th,
water. Owing to the confusion Il Is inn
possible to tell who are missing, but th,
number cannot he large. The names o
those whose bodies have been recovered
are Miss Bessie Foster, Peter Boyle, Mis-
Allie SyUos and John Bundy, colorcd.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Journal this
evening publishes n telegram under the
date of Carlisle, Pa, giving the text of
letter written by President Harrison in
response to an invitation To attend the
National Grangers' exhibition. In il he
says in part: "The tariff question is the
most important of the day, and the peo-
pie should be thoroughly educated on IT,
As there is no doubt the farming element
is the backbone Of this or any other gov
crnment, il Is necessary they should un-
derstand this question so they can choose
