A Young Lady's Singular Expedient Saves
tho Life of Servant.
MoRPETH, ENGLAND, November 2.-Tes-
terday afternoon a servant maid in the house
of Mr.. A. NJ. Loades. Dacre street, Morpeth,
was engaged in cleaning one of the upstairs
windows fronting the street. when she was
heard to scream and seen to be in the act of
falling from the ledge to the ground.
A young lady named Miss F. Arkless, who
was passing at the time, seeing the danger of
the girl, at once ran to her assistance, and,
with great presence of mind. knelt down upon
the pavement, and received the poor girls head
in the lap of her dress as she fell. She thus
was the means of averting what would doubt
less have been injuries of serious nature. As
it was, the injuries she received were confined
to severe shock and a bruised thigh and arm
while Miss ArkIess herself, in her courageous
act, escaped unhurt. The girl was Immediately
taken into the house. and her injuries attended
to by DR.. Skrimshire.

THE VEGETARIAN CHURCH.
1t is Established in Philadelphia, but Not on
Scientific Grounds.

1t is Established in Philadelphia, but Not on
Scientific Grounds.
A vegetarian church is to be established in
Philadelphia. Ore of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the church will be that life is sacred,
and that therefore the shedding of blood, even
though it be for the sake of providing food for
the human race is wrong. But the vegetarians
don't follow out their own principles.
In the eyes Of the scientist, there is no ap-
preciable difference between plant life and
animal life. The only objection that vegeta-
rians have to the shedding of blood is that it
terminates life; but from the Scientific point
of view, they terminate life every time they
eat potato or turnip. Nor is it competent
for them to say that one sort of life is more in
Violable than another sort.
Animal life is moro highly organized, it is
true. and therefore its sensations are better
understood by human beings; but for aught
we know, the killing of vegetable may be to
it as much of tragedy as the killing of an
animal is to it. 1t is very convenient to make
arbitrary distinctions between different forms
of life, but It is neither scientific nor logical

SECRETARY STONE has been vindicated
by the election somewhat more decidedly than
some of his rivals. The four counties of his
district gave Pattison majority of 1,650 over
Delamater; while Stone has 1885 over his
Democratic rival. As Stone was candidate
for the Republican nomination for Governor.
this leadership of nearly 5000 votes over Della

IT is asserted in New York that one de-
pressing influence of the stock market is re-
moved from the fact that all of our railway
stocks held abroad have been returned to this
country, the English tinanciers having sold all
their Americans" in order to carry their bur-
den of Argentine bonds and similar securities.
The results may lead them to finally question
whether it would not have been wiser for them
to have unloaded their "Argentines" and held
on to their Americans"

PENNSYLVANIA OIL FIELDS.

The Supply Continuous and Production
Larger Than a Year Ago.
From the Philadelphia Times.1
The geologIsts have been saying for some
time that the Pennsylvania oil Held was nearly
exhausted and that the supply of petroleum
would soon have to be sought elsewhere
In spite of all this the indefatigable
oil drlller, who knows little and cares less about
geology and geologists, keeps bouncing the drill
with the result Of increasing rather than d.
minishing the supply of Pennsylvania petro-
leum. A year ago the average daily production
was 60 zoo barrels. Now it is 5000

terrible war, paying an enormous indemnity
to Germany, sinking s4OO, 900, 900 in the Panama

England with money to save that nation from

Fun in a Phonograph.

RY way OF vocal relaxation before the
matinee yesterday, DeWolf Hopper sat
on the back of . chair before q phonograph,
and poured Casey at the Bat" the classic
which has, as he confesses, pulled him out Of
many tight place, into the big funnel. 1t
was very laughable sight; the big Hopper. in
an easy suit OF brown. balancing himself Cd the
back of chair and rattling off the side-spitting
account of how the hope of the Mudvllle
nine struck out thrice, without any pauses for
applause orlaughter-for he had to keep right
on to get the piece on one cylinder. 1t didn't
take more than three or four minutes. and
then the phonograph turned around and re-
peated the thrilling idyll in q voice that
sounded like the shadow of Hopper's, but with
the humorous emphasis and infection intact.
Some actors lose their nerve before the cold,
mechanical stare of the phonograph funnel.
Florence, the comedian. put some Of his
speeches into photographic cylinders when he
was here the last time, but he complained that
the unsympathetic attitude of the phonograph
made it very hard for him to start. Hopper,
on the other hand, says he'd rather act before
a phonograph in refrigerator than cast his
comic pearls before an ultra fashionable
audience at matinee. He has filled scores Of
cylinders and the nickel-in- the-slot phono-
graphs IN the East are full of Hopperisms,
