A CHARITABLE DETERMINATION.
The Russian Aristocrats VIII Give Their
Champagne Money to the Poor.

Especial to THE WoRLD.l
ST.. PETERsBURGJ October All
classes of citizens here, following the
example Of the Gar, who has decided
that no court balls will be given during
the coming season, and that the money
usually spent for this purpose shall be
devoted to the relief of the sufferers by
the famine in this country, have re-
solved to abandon all entertainments
during the winter, and to contribute
the money thus saved~to the fund for
alternating the distress of the famish-
ing people. Most of the public Off
Gals announce their intention to de-
vote a certain percentage Of their
salaries to the same purpose. Work
men have decided tolgive proportion
of their humble wages, and even chill
dren will offer their little savings.
Collections are to be taken up on every
feast day in all the churches. The
stream of relief is coming through wide
channels, but the system of distribu-
ton, it is claimed, is very Detective
The Grashdanin announces that the
officers Of the Imperial Guard have de-
cided not to drink champagne at any
of the regimental banquets, and to
contribute the money which would, in
the usual course Of events, have been
50 spent, to the peasants of the famine
stricken districts Of Russia.

WAsHNGToS, October IA bell with
history has been brought from San
Domingo to this city and viii be ex-
hibited at the Worlds Fair. II Is Of
bronze, is only Sx6s inches in size, but
IS Of fine workmanship. It bears the
image Of San Miguel and the letter T.
ii old Gothic, from which Il i inferred
that the bell was given to Columbus BY
Ferdinand Of Spain.
1t is believed that this bell hung
originally in the church built by Col
umbus at the founding of Isabella, in
1893. in 1496 Isabella was deserted
and everything cfvalue in it, including
the bell, it is believed, was transported
to La Vega, which had been built in
1894.
In 1542 La Vega was destroyed by an
earthquake and abandoned. Three
hundred years later the bell was found
supported by the branches of para
site which had twined itself around the
ruins Of the belfry tower of the ruined
church of La Vega.
For long time the bell was pre-
served as a sacred relic and venerated
by the natives Of San Domingo. TWAS
finally hung in the chapel Of a convent
school by Padre Bellini, of San Domin-
go City, and by Senior Bellini, his ne
phew, and an ex- President Of the Re-
public, it has been loaned to the Col
umbian Exposition.

CARBoNDALE, PA, October Near
ly 200 acres of ground in the north
west corner of this city, under which
Coal Brook colliery of the Delaware
and Hudson Company is tunnelled, are
in state of turbulence, and there is
danger Of one of the most extensive
cave-ins in the history of the coal
regions. The 200 mine workers have
been ordered out, and the company
are awaiting results. The ground is
heaving like a constant earthquake.
From the inside the noise Of the work
ing, which at first was indistinct and
did not presage any. very serious
trouble, has become loud and con-
tinuous. Miners who have heard it
say that it can be likened to nothing
but the rumbling of thunder in the
distance with occasional sharp reports.
These are caused by the cracking of
the earth and rocks that resemble the
thunder peals that follow flashes of
lightning. The sounds reverberate
through the mine 50 that they are con
tinuous and deafening.
The last serious "squeeze" in this
city occurred about eighteen years ago
at No. shaft. One man was caught
and crushed, and several others had
narrow escapes. About forty years
ago similar accident occurred at the
odd No. shaft when many deaths re-
suited, and some of the bodies were
never recovered.

Through your column the enquiry has been

question which would be well for the public
to give attention. With your permission /
will PROFOUND: did not the people de-
clare through the ballot box, this should be a
prohibition county,"
Have we prohibition city, or rather has
she not the name onlyg'
1t is not uncommon 70 hear il asserted that
whisl1ey is sold here daily. Is there no way
whereby our officers could find those places
that deal the poisonous etuff to our boys and
in the same way thief would steal his neigh
bors sheep. Are not the lives and characters
being stolen from the noble men of our
county?
The non-cnforcement Of the cattle law
falls into nothingness. when compared to the
non-enforement of that law, which, if stricklv
observed would heal many heartaches and
save thousands from drunkards grave.
Can we not as citizens and officers awake
to the importance of having this. law enforc-
ed and be in reality a prohibition county Z?
Shall we not put on the armour of COURAGE
and all qualifications requisite TO a tr1e
citizen, and go forth daring to do the right?
Then our prosperous city will have other
causes for rejoicing greater than that of hav-
ing electric lights and other Improvements.
No longer will parents fear sending their sons
here to be educated. Let all consider.
