Oscar Wilde, since he il II pcre de
famille, is no doubt a wiser and "A sadder
man; he has cut his hair, and no longer
wears garments a la Disraeli; he has left
off turn down collars and short wasted
coats and fobs, etc Oscar has grown
very stout. His conversation is still
brilliant rather too epigralnmatic and
wanting in simplicity.
Mrs. Wilde is young and pretty; very
quiet, almost demure. She is as silent
as Oscar is loquacious. Lady Wilde
Oscars mother) is n striking old lady,
very accomplished. She can speak seven
languages, and though she has suffered
terribly from the state of Irish affairs,
she bears her many troubles bravely.
Her nom de plume is Speranza. London

A Big, Little Show.

The IRWIN BROTHERS GIVE a PERFORM
ANCE WoE1n SEVERAL TIMES THE
ADMISSION FEE.
The Irwin Brothers have the biggest
little show that has visited this city in
many years. The performance is worth
several times the admission fee and one
spectator was heard to remark, after the
exhibition, that he would rather pay 90
cents to see the Irwin show than rs cents
to see the Forepaugh show. The per-
Torrance is mainly one of athletic feats
and every performer Is of first class skill
The show begins with leapng troupe OF
ten athletes and some tirstclass work is
done. Then follow feats of skill on the
horizontal bars, flying hoops, flying ira
peze, etc. Two contortionists do clever
double act and there is an aerial contor-
ton act of iron rings that excels anything
of the kind ever Witnessed In this city
The slack wire performer is also one OF
the best and funny clowns help in making
the performance a thoroughly enjoyable
one. The concluding acts ny performing
dogs who do a number of clever acts.
Every one who attended last night went
away an advertiser for the show. Troy

IrOntOn's Terrible Tragedy.

IRoNTON, o., August 23.-The saddest
funeral in the history of Ironton took
place to-day, when the three pretty
children of George Hamilton-Leslie,
Edith and Emma May, were laid to
rest.
The three children the oldest of whom
was years old, were found smothered
in an old tool chest on Friday. Inyesti-
cation showed that after the children
had either climbed or been put in the
chest a strong stick had beer thrust in
the lock and staple, thus consigning
them to certain death in a few minutes
Although there were houses in the vicin-
ity, the cries of the poor little ones could
not be heard and the1e was no one to
save them.
The father and mother of the children
were away visiting, and returning home
missed the children. The mother dis
covered them in the chest. The faces Of
all were black and congested.
There Is intense feeling about the
tragedy, and they blame the Coroner for
not starting a thorough investigation
George Hamilton, the father OF the
smothered babes, is censured for not
urging n speedy investigation. The
family has subsisted on the proceeds of
the Oldest boys daily begging trips
through the city and suburbs. This boy
is 10 years of age, and he is the only one
who escaped death,

Selling Children for Food.

LONDON, August 23.-The stories of
misery received from Russia are almost
incredible. In .BeSsarbia parents are
offering their children for sale In order
to buy food. Many deaths have been
caused through famine, and families
may be found actually perishing from
hunger. The stewards of crown lands
and forests have been instructed TO allow
the peasantry 10 enjoy free pasture, and
freely to gather mushrooms and gather
wild fruits in the forests and woods OF
the state The collection of state and
local taxes in at least twenty provinces
will fall considerably behind the usual
amount. Besides large sums are required
to prevent whole populations from per
ishing of starvation.
The Government authorities are eX-
erting themselves, and the distribution
of relief is going on as rapidly as posi-
bic. When quantity of grain reached
Marinpol in the providence of Iekater-
inoslay on Tuesday last, the people were
so weak with want they were hardly able
to come and get their portions. They
gathered near the place of distribution,
presenting pitiful spectacle with their
wan faces and wasted forms. Nor Is the
misery confined to the lowest class.
Among the applicants at Marinpol were
mobiles and tradesmen, the latter ruined
in business though the loss of custom
on account of the famine, and the for
mer deprived of the margin between
their debts and their income on which
they had depended. The prohibition OF
the export of rye was none too soon II
the more frightful results of famine were
to be averted

A storm nj POttsville.

4 fearful cloud-bu broke over Potts
vile, Pa, on Sunday afternoon and rain
poured down in torrents for an hour.
The thunder and lightning was awful,
the latter doing considerable damage.
Nearly four thousand families were
driven to the upper stories of their homes
and their cellars and kitchens are filled
with water and Shiny mud. The busi-
ness portion of town suffered greatly,
cellers of stores being filled with water.
Cars on the Pennsylvania and Reading
railroads were moved by the flood and a
passenger train on each road was blocked
at St. Clair by the washing down of coal
dirt on to the tracks.
The Reading train moved into the sta
ton with men ahead in the water up To
their waists clearing the track of lumber
and rubbish. Water on Railroad street
flowed into the boiler house of the cleo
trio light and railway power house and
put out the fires, cutting off the current
and stopping the cars. Pavements were
torn up and bricks and stones carried
away. The Chronicle office was also a
sufferer, the ground floor being flooded
and the engine and presses badly dam
aged. 1t was the worst storm ever
known in Pottsville. The damage is
estimated at over 800, 600. Reports
from Minersville, St. Clair, Port Carbon,
Schuylkill Haven, Girardville, and Ma
honoy Plain tell the same story of devas-
tations and damage by rain and flood.

An Insane Mother.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Aug. 22.-
Word has just reached here that Mrs.
Sweinfurth, the insane wife of a respect
able farmer living at Helvetia, German
settlement in Uphur county, killed her
two children and then committed sui
eide last Tuesday.
She drowned the youngest child, a
baby, in a horse trough, and attempted
to Kill her boy, aged eight, in the same
manner, but the boy fought her off.
She finally got an axe and crushed his
head. After this she slashed herself
in many places, infiicting fatal injuries.
The husband was in the fields threshing
and was not aware of the awful deed un-
til he returned in the evening and found
the three dead bodies.

MILLER PURvIs, editor of the Farmers
Alliance Herald, the organ of the Peo-
pies party of Ohio, makes the assertion
that fifty thousand Republicans of Ohio
will refuse to vote for Mckinley because
of the tariff question. He further states
that Mckinley viii be the worst defeated
candidate Ohio has seen since Brough
piled up one hundred thousand majority
against Vallandigham.
The Republicans try to make light of
the subject and style Purvis as a vision
AIRY enthusiast, but they are forced to
admit that III his capacity as a lecturer
and organizer for the Farmers Alliance
he has visited all the rural districts and
associated intimately with the farmers,
he has enjoyed special facilities to find
out the true sentiment of the farmers on
the tariff question, consequently their
hilarity is of the kind that requires ex-
traordinary efforts to keep up.

THE weather crop bulletin of the
Pennsylvania State Service for the week
ended August 21st says: As compared
with the week preceding the weather of
the past seven days has not been so
favorable to crops, though the damage
done has been confined to particular
localities. In York and Lancaster coun-
ties the observers say that the repeated
rains have caused considerable damage
to grain stacked in the fields, and that
the early potato crop, which a month
ago promised to be very large and fine,
is almost a total failure owing to the rot
caused by frequent rains and hot sultry
wheather. In other parts of the state
the crop is reported large and in good
condition. The continuous moist, warm
weather, however, has very much i'm
proved corn and the crop is looking very
fine. In Wayne county the corn is suffer
ing for rain, and the fruit and vegetables
need moisture badly.

THE London correspondent OF the
New York Times furnishes some striking
figures in regard to the possible saving
in Europe by reduction of one-half in
the military force and expenditure of the
chief Powers. He points out that ''for
the past nine years alone it would have
amounted to 81, 400, 100000 while
nearly 3,OOO,O 900 men in the prime of
youth would have been resorted to labor
and production. Counting the value Of
of their labor, not their wages merely,
at the low rate of 81 each per day, this
would have amounted to 5000, 900, 900 a
year, or IS, 100, ,OO0,o GOO Tor the nine
years, making Il total net loss TO the
people of these six countries in that
period of so, 500, OOO, 900. This is
equal to the total value, at 81 per bush
el, of the wheat crep of the United
States for nearly twenty-five years"
Poor harvests and dear bread would not
bear so heavily upon the people if they
had nest-egg of this size III reserve.

Storm Clouds in Europe.

BERLIN, Aug. 24.-It is reported that
Emperor William believes the French
are preparing to provoke war, being en-
couraged by the evidences of Russian
friendship. The KI7es Zeit,ulg saws
Germany is prepared to meet the coming
storm. y dispatch to the Cologne Ga
1ete from st. Petersburg states that the
czarian has influenced the car in the
direction of forming friendly relations
with France, and that Baron Won Moh-
renheim, the Russian ambassador at
Paris, has obtained from the French
government an assurance that in the
event of Germany being defeated by
France and Russia Schleswig will be re
turned TO Denmark.

THIS nomination of 4 distinguished
PENNSYLVANIA like General Gregg upon
a platform constructed to suit the wishes
of NJ. ;. Quay and Chris Magee, says the
PhiIadelphia Herald, is an attempt to
bunco the voters of Pennsylvania. Ac-
knowledging that the candidate for Audi
tor General is all that the Republicans
claim for him, still his election at this
time would be serious blow to the state.
Ii elected General Gregg will go into
Office under Obligations to the RepublI-
can party. 1t is to the interest OF that
party to prevent an exposure of the
methods prevailing in that othce Tor
wears and to hide both the rottenness
which exists there and in the State Treas
ury. But what the people want Is
thorough and systematic investigation,
so that the state shall be purged from
corruption and Pennsylvania saved from
shame. Such an investigation would be
impossible if the Office is controlled by a
man under obligations to NJ. S. Quay.
The Republican fight is not to elect
Gregg and Morrison. 1t is for the reten-
ton of the old system with all its cor
ruption and plumber. This is the issue
before the voters of Pennsylvania, and
the selection of the distinguished soldier
to head the Republican ticket is similar
to the game of the green goods" men
when they deceive their victims 10y put
ting good note on the top of bundle
of worthless ones.
