Jane Austen and Guy de Maupassant.
Unconsciously Jane Austen was a
forerunner of "a group of novelists,
represented at present perhaps most
completely by. NJ. Guy de Maupassant.
Could she have foreseen what was
coming there is no reason to suppose
she would have shrunk from the asso-
citation as perturbing to maidenly sus-
capabilities; her minute acquaintance
with Richardson, the outspoken habit
of her time, hint or two in her let
tiers, show the likelihood that her OBJ
lection to the form taken for the mo-
ment by French fiction would, like
ours, be to some extent offset, could
she read it, by admiration of the skill
of some of the writers-all the more
that she knew French.
She and NJ Guy de Maupassant are,
indeed, in odd contrast, and yet closely
alike. His range is perhaps as narrow
as hers; he avowedly goes out of his
way in search of the unhackneyed,
whereas she obviously makes her ar
rows of the wood that happens to lie in
her path. Her characters are apt to be
ladies and gentlemen; his are usually,
as Mr.. Henry James points out the re-
verse. Her plots turn on domestic lin
volvements;" by no stretch of language

A suggestive Tombstone.

A bright eyed Brooklyn friend whose
family came from the wilds of Staten
Island told Inc funny story the other
day. She said: Il started out to pay
my devotion at the shrines of my an
cestors, and for that purpose visited
the ancient country churchyard in the
interior of the island where several gen
erations of our family are now buried.
As wandered among the grass grown
mounds | came upon one newly made
tomb in the shadow of the weather
beaten walls of the old church. The
fresh earth showed that it had been
made within a week or two. No stone
or monumental urn yet marked the
resting place of the dead, but in the
middle of the mound was stuck an old
fashioned palm leaf fan of the sort
which you find in the pews of country
churches. The identity of the departed
was not known to me, but thought
the symbolic that was what it was in
tended for-was at least suggestive. 1t

United States Secret Service officials
made an important capture in this city
when they took in the gang of Italian
counterfeiters. The men arrested are
Rafael Di Nicola, the leader, Fred erick
Derogate and Giacomo Di Nicola. The
fourth one of the gang is a woman
nam d Emma Tate. The coin dealt in
is an imitation of the silver dollar of
1888 and is the same as has been passed
SO frequently for the past year. The
paper is a counterfeit of the IS treasury
note with the portrait of Jackson and
is fairly good one and extremely
dangerous.

the proofs positive.
Here's the proof-if it doesn't do YOU
good within reasonable time, report the
fact to its makers and get your money
back without a word-but you won't do
it!
The remedy is DIR Pierce's Favorite
PreScription-and it has proved itself
the right remedy in nearly every case
of female weakness. 1t is not a miracle,
1t won't cure everything-but it has
done more to build up tired, enfeebled
and broken down women than; any
other medicine known.
Where's the woman who's not ready
for it All that we've to do Is to get the
news to her. The medicine, will do the
rest.

Second to use it. Third to be cured by

HE WAS HARMLESS.

Yet He Put a Fellow-Passenger to Flight.
He was going uptown on Madison
avenue car. He had bundle on his
knees, and from the way he hitched
around and looked at the men on either
side of him it was evident he wanted to
talk to some one. He finally selected
the man on his right, who was a dapper
little fellow with eyeglasses and a
gold-he AIDED cane.
Ever bothered with rheumatics?'
suddenly inquired the man with the
bundle.
The dapper man never moved an eye
winker.
I'm having it considerab BILE this fall, !"
said the other. ''Strikes me in the
right shoulder, and I can't wash the
back of my neck morn than half the
time. You look as if you might be sub
ject to it..
The dapper man looked straight
across the car, and the only movement
betraying life was a jerlxy motion to
one toe.
Bin a-buyin' a flannel shirt" per-
sisted the man with the bundle. tSome
advised me to get indicated flannel,
and some said the common red flannel
would do. Which sort do you think is
best?"
The dapper man was now flushing
up, and his eyes turned to the door, but
he gave no other sign.
81 paid dollar for this" continued
the bundle man, as he united the string,
land he warranted it not to shrink I'd
like to ask your opinion of the goods.
Have paid too much?"
He unwrapped the paper and held the
shirt up to view. 1t was a red flannel
shirt, which appeared to be nine feet
long, and at first sight the dapper little
man turned whittier than flour, got up
and fell over his cane, and got up again,
shot outdoors and dropped off. Every
body else laughed heartily, and after
looking around in a surprised way, the
old man began doing up his bundle and
observed:
He needn't have bin a-scart of me.

Freight Trains Collide Through Misun-

tunnel on the Catawissa branch of the
Reading Railroad, near here. Engineer
Fisher and Fireman Smith were killed
Con ductor Rinker and Brakeman Stelz
fatally injured and Brakemen Jines and
Comton seriously injured
All the victims live at Catawissa.
Engineer Fisher was given orders at
CataWlssa to meet another freight train
at Lofty, five miles distant. There was
binding snow storm prevailing at the
tlne and Fisher put on full steam and
started for the meeting place.
When in the middle of the tunnel be-
tween the two stations the flash of a
headlight was seen directly ahead OF
them. Fireman Smith shouted to
Fisher and then jumped to the foot
board. hoping to get Off on the side of the
engine, but the tunnel was too narrow
to allow this. He then crawled back to
the cab. The engineer, in the mean
time, had given a warning whistle to
the crew of his train AMI applied the
air brakes
But it was too late. The trains came
together with q terrible crash. Clouds
OF steam and showers of blazing coal
filled the tunnel. The two Iocomo olives
went almost through one another and
car piled upon car until the two trains
were almost a mass of ruins. The crews
of the two trains were thrown in all
directions and from among the debris
could be heard the cries and groans of
the injured and dying men.
The citizens of Catawissa turned out
in force to render what assistance they
could, but it required two or three hours
hard work before an entrance could be
effected and the dead and wounded re-
moved from the tunnel. The de ad bodies
of Engineer Fisher and Fireman Smith
were found covered with smouldering
Goals, lying in the cab of the engine.
Brakeman Steltz was found pinioned
between the tender and cab with his leg
almost pinched off. - xzaNN ax3ax
Conductor Rinker's arm AMI part of

shapeless mass of bone and flesh. Jones
and Com ton were extricated from two

from death is a miracle. There bodies
are badly bruised and cut.
The cause of the accident has not yet
been determined but it is supposed to
be misunderstanding Of orders.
