Literary work

AS regards literature generally, it
may be safely said that no work des-
tined TO live was ever produced by a
very young man or woman. The great
est poems of Milton and Dryden, o.
Wordsworth and Coleridge. of Tenny-
son and Browning, We're produced when
they We're past middle age. The same
may be said of the novels of Scott,
Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot and
Charles Reade; in fact, as regards fic-
ton, it may be safely said that while a
romance or sentimental poem may be
produced by man or d woman in
youth, no picture of life as it is can be
drawn until experience aids aptitude
and literary labor has achieved style
Therefore the ladies who fail as novel
lists may find a consolation not to be de-
sPisea IN rejecting that they are alto
gether too young.

The hired man" on New England
tarm occupies unique position and in
many ways j. a privileged character.
As a usual thing, says the Boston
Journal, he is regarded, not as a Serv-
ant. but almost as a member of the
household. There are New England
farmers worth their hundreds of thou
sands of dollars who never sit down TO
meal that they do not have their field
hands at their elbow. In the ordinary
household intercourse the worllmen of
the farm are treated not as menials, not
as interiors, but almost, if not quite, as
equals. They are on terms of comrade-
ship with the other members of the
household, young and old, and they
have their recognized place in ordina-
~ family gatherings This relation OF

RESCUED ALIVE.
Miners Entombed at Nanticoke Taken
from the Pit.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 9.--Intense
JOY and excitement prevails in the little
hamlet of Grand Tunnel this morning
over the rescue of three of the seven
teen miners who were imprisoned by
water rushing into the gangways and
breasts of the Susquehanna coal colliery
at that place on Wednesday of last
week, after the firing of a blast.
Since the men were lost experienced
miners declared their rescue alive an
impossi bility, and they were practically
given up. The whole community was in
mourning over their supposed sad fate.
The names of the men are Michael She
lank, VIM. Cragel and Jno. Riner, all we'll
known miners. They were found alive
in the upper workings near the out
crop, the water being unable to reach
them after they managed to get out of
the swirl when it was rushing through
the mine. The men were found in an
almost exhausted condition from their
10 hours imprisonment. and will re-
quire care to bring them through. Their
sufferings have been intense, but they
were buoyed by the hope of being
rescued, and the outcrop workings be-
ing fairly well ventilated they were able
to secure enough pure air to keep them

TEN THOUSAND OILERS.
General Strike Throughout she Connells-
Vile Region.

General Strike Throughout the Councils
Vile Region.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 9.-The great
strike in the Connellsville coke regions
was inaugurated this morning, and
by tomorrow morning every mine
and coke works in the re-
gion will be closed down. The miners,
to the number of about 10000, refused
to go to work to-day, the only men
working being the coke drawers. There
are 5000 men employed at this work,
and as soon as they have drawn the
coke from the ovens they will quit also.
The strike is for an advance in wages
of 129 cents per ton and against 10
per cent. reduction. Both sides are
firm, and long struggle appears to be
inevitable The workmen offered to
continue at the present wages
until March /, provided the OPP
orators would arrange q salts
factory scale in the meantime, but this
was refused Independent or small
operators then made a proposition to
their men to pay the old wages until
settlement of the trouble, but this was
also rejected and the strike ordered.
The operators claim that owing to the
depressed condition of the coke and
iron trades reduction is necessary,
while upon the other hand the work
men say the depression is only tenn
porary and the operators can well af-
ford the increase.
There are over 10000 ovens and 20
coal and coke works in the region.

Clement was shot down at her fathers
door, at 95 Blue Island Avenue, last
night. by her lover, Jesse Osborne.
With a married sister she had gone to
the Church of Notre Dame. on Sibley

a sick bed. When the sisters hurried
down the avenue from the church, and
were about to turn in at their own door,
Osborne met them. He implored the
girl 20 marry him, charging her, at the
same time,, with having gone to the
theater with another. The girl tried
revolver and fired twice. One
bullet tore a large hole in Blanche
Clements left side, an inch below the
heart, the other striking the girl in the
foot. Osborne then fired bullet into
his own breast. He buttoned his over
coat over the bleeding wound and went
to neighboring barber shop and com
menced shaking dice with party Of
friends for the cigars.
"By the way" said one of the men,
what was that shooting outsidea while
ago?'
ooh, nothing" replied Osborne; "a
fellow Just shot his girl and himself.
That's all. Let's see; I've got aces and
fours," and all the while his blood was
rushing from him,
1t was just then that Officers Grady
and Daily, of the Desplaines Street sta
ton, swung into the shop and arrested
Osborne. When their big mittens fell
on his shoulders he tainted, and was
trundled to the county hospital in
patrol wagon. He will die, and the girl
cannot live. Osborne is barber.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 9.-While ripping

ing the train. 1t is not known on what
road the Atlanta made her last run.

BosToN, Mass, Feb. 9.-The Boston

reliable sources that sale Of the Chica-
go & Alton Railroad is in progress,
probably to the Gould interest. Con-
trol Of the stock is now locked up in
New York and the price of sale practi-
cally agreed upon. In the event of
sale, the Chicago q Alton would
form the Missouri Pacifc's entrance in

make use of the situation to persuade
the Atchison to conform to his views.
it has been known for three months
