AN UMBRELLA SCHOOL.

Rules That Have Been Formulated for
 the Young Men of Gotham.
 It is said that school is about to be formed in the great city of New York for the purpose of teaching young men how to carry an umbrella properly over the head of fair companion.
 Something of the kind has long been needed, says the New York World. This season, with its rains and hail and snow, created an absolute demand for it. And so an umbrella school has sprung into existence. A committee of women selected from the most popular | classes of women - widows and 1 debutantes-have formulated code of rules which.shan stand as the A B C's of the school. They are as follows: Be sure that the umbrella is unfurled before you leave.the doorstep or car. It is exasperating to woman to walk un- der drizzly drip while her escort is fumbling with the shelter.
 When once the umbrella is raised, hold it not to the right nor to the left, nor to the front nor to the back, but directly over the hat of the woman.
 Be sure that it is not so far forward that the back prongs of the umbrella will drip upon her shoulders, nor yet 70 far back that the front will drip upon her bangs.
 Don't yank her by the arm while car rying an umbrella. She wants to hold ap her skirts and, besides that, the pose af the umbrella is sure to suffer.
 Never mind your own hat, oven though it be a silk one, and do not value she safety of your eyes, but devote your whole attention to the covering of that one woman.
 Should the elements rage in all di- rections, and the rains descend from everywhere, and the clouds pour forth torrents from the north, south, east and and west, abandon at once all hope o1 keeping the woman's garments dry and bring all your energies to bear upon the preservation of her frizzes. Keep them dry at all hazards. Fen though you have to shelter them under youl 'splaidie." Remember always that bet ter a wet, sozzled, dripping woman with pretty bangs than dry one witt stingy, discontented, desolated locks

A TERRIBLE WRONG
Anna Dickinson Tells a Story
 of Persecution.
DRAGGED TO A LUNAT1c ASYLUM
Inoarcerated for Five Weeks and Deprived
 of Communication With Her Friends.

She Accuses Her Sister oF Plotting Against
 Her to Obtain Money from the Public
 Set at Liberty by n Physician Who Rec-
 to be Instituted.
 NEW YORK, April 10.-Anna Dickin- son and her maid arrived at the Astor House late last night.
 In an interview this morning the elo- quent and gifted woman says she was locked up in madhouse with maniacs and gibbering lunatics without any cause and while she was still in possession of her own reason.
 - Worse than that, she says, the wrongs
 and sufferings she has undergone was
 the result of a deliberate design, and sthe
 author of that design a member of her
 family and bearing her own honored
 name.
 In moderate language, with the bearing
 of a woman who had weighed every word
 and understood the significance of all she
 said she told what she had gone through
 and why she believed she had been the victim of a conspiracy. Miss Dickinson's Story. On February 25, so ran the substance of her story, she had been seized in her home at West Pittston, Pa.; carried off by force, and in violation of law confined in the State Asylum at Danville. There she stayed five weeks and a day, without ex- animation as to her mental or physical condition, sick, worn with terror and anxiety needing medical attendance and lacking it, knowing all the time that a terrible wrong was being practiced upon her. but deprived of communication with her friends in the world. From this situation she was taken on April 2, in a sad state of destitution and misery by physician from another State, Dr. Seward of Goshen, N. Y., who had been called upon to remove her to his | supposed private asylum. Instead of shutting her up in another | institution this physician, practitioner of repute and standing, believed her sane | and set her free.
 | Baselcss Stories Given Out. To oaccount for her incarceration base | less stories had been set ahoat of her vio- fence and desperate madness. These Miss
 Dickinson circumstantially declared to be
 utterly false.
 The object of subjecting her to these | dreadful ordeals was, she believed, to get
 money from the public by arousing sym
 pathy for her pretended condition. The | person whom she accused as the chief in | strument in this unnatural design is heI | own sister.
 ] Legal proceedings which will test the l justice of these sweeping charges are tc | be begun at once.

The President and Secretary Blaine at
 Work on It.
 WASHINGTON, April 19. President liar rison was in consultation for over an hour with Secretary Blaine and Third Assistant Secretary of State Moore. It is learned that the conference was upon the phraseology of the legal part of MT. Blaine's intended reply to the Rudini dis patch.
 The previous correspondence in the matter has been handled solely by MT. Blaine, but it Is understood that the question of treaty obligations has as- SUI med a more serious nature, and it is necessary to have set forth in the reply an interpretation of the treaty that will stand.
 Mr. Moore was called into the confer ence on account of his great ability as an international authority and his familiar ity with the legal relations which the Federal government bears to the States. President Harrison is anxious to have the forthcoming reply to appear in such language that its meaning cannot be dis tOrted

He Was Present, but Did Not Kill Farmer
 Umberger.
 SOMERSET, Pa., April 10.-The following confession of David Nicely has just been made public:
 "SoMERsEr JAIL, April 1, 1S91.-I, David Nicely, make concerning the murder of Herman Umberger, for which l am con- victed and sentenced to be hanged April 2 the following statement: I was present when Herman Umberger was murdered. left home about o'clock on Feb. 27, 1889, to go to some place in Somerset County, for the purpose of robbery, if not murder, and didn't know who was to be robbed, not learning Umberger's name, until we'll along on the road. The mur- der took place about o'clock in the evening"
 q arrived at home about o'clock next morning. I had a pistol and fired into the ceiling, but not with the intention ot hitting MT. Umberger, nor did any shot fired hit him. intended only to frighten him. As to my evidence in court part was true and part was not. The pocket book produced in court as mine was not the one which I gave to Will Thomas, as testified in court. It was bogus.
 Hamilton Smiths testimony in the case against me was false in this: I was not ID Llgonler on fepruary ~, 1ooS, as he swore. Lew Bener and Ed McCracker did not meet me on the pike, as wa: stated in court. Charles Veneer anG Lewis Veneer, his son, could not have recognized me- as their testimony says they did, on the Pittsburg and Philadel phia pike, February 27, 1889. make this statement in view of approaching ex ecution, in fear of God, truthfully, to O. w. Granger, my spiritual adviser"
 Dave Nicely and his brother Joe, whc were hanged on April 2 for Farmer Um berger's murder, protested innocence o1 the scaffold. While he does not say s' it is thought that Dave intended to con vey the idea that Joe was the murderer

LABOR'S BIG BATTLE
The Mining Conference Ter
 minated Suddenly.
NO AGREEMENT WAS POSSIBLE
All Mine Woa,Ms in the Country Will De.
 mand an Eight-Hour Day.

They Will Stop Work on the 1st of May
 5OO,OOO Persons Will be Directly Af. fected-The Knights and Federation
 Back of the Men-The Operators Will
 Resist-Two Strikes Already Ordered.
 PTTsBURG, April 10.-The Interstate convention of Miners and Operators closed last night suddenly. After a fierce battle of words and opinions further talk was declared profiCless and an adjourn ment made sine die, which fairly made the miners heads swim, though they &C., cepted the proposition with a smile.
 This action means practically that the interstate agreement has been abolished, and that the amicable and harmonious relations that have existed between the two classes for the past five years have been broken off and may not be resumed. It also means that the 75, 900 mine work CTS in these two regions will stop work on the first of May, affecting 800, 900 per sons directly and hundreds of thousands indirectly.
 As the mine workers of the country will also demand an eight-hour day, a contin- uation of work after May now seems all most impossible. The two great organ izations of the countrywide Knights of Labor and the Federation of Labor-are back of the men, and their money will be at their disposal.
 The Operators Will Fight.
 The miners and operators immedi- ately held separate meetings. The oper ators talked over the situation and agreed to fight on May i, and fight hard. They will likely hold another meeting shortly.
 At the miners meeting the following | resolution was adopted: "That the miners of the competitive field demand l an advance for pick mining equivalent to an advance of 10 cents per ton in the Hooking field on the basis of an eight | hour day, and that no place resume oper- tions until all have received the advance, or until advised to resume by the Nation al Executive Board"
 Two Strikes Ordered.
 A meeting of the executive board of the United Mine Workers was held and it was decided to order out the men at Coshock. ton, O., and Tioga, Pa., and fight the operators in those places immediately.
 The operators also held 8 meeting and decided to communicate with the West ern operators to make preparations for the fight next May.
 Will Prostrate the Big Industries.
 Col. w. F. Rend said: 'Tt is with ex. treme sorrow I see the agreement shat tered. There will undoubtedly be g strike on May 1. There will be 500,O0( persons affected by it, and the big indus tries of the country will be prostrated."

Metz Says He Will Kill Himself.

RAILWAY, N. J., April 1O.-John Metz, of Newark, was discharged at noon by the coroner for the want of sufficient evil dence to hold him on the charge of killing Albert Schaub at the wedding held at East Railway on Monday night. The jurors, after hearing the evidence, came to the conclusion, after little delibera- tion, that the killing was purely acci- dental, and that no blame attached to Metz except carelessness. Metz says he does not care to live and will kill himself at the first opportunity offered him.

Love Stories Drove Him Insane.

RoNDoUr, N. r., April 10.-Charles Markle, 8 young man residing near here, has been declared insane and taken to an asylum. His condition was brought about by the reading of continued love stories in weekly newspapers, which pro- duced in him deep infatuation for the heroines. So interested did he become in them that he could neither sleep nor eat, but wandered aimlessly around with his mind concentrated on the characters and plots of the stories he read. With some he pleaded, while others he cursed as if in real life

Another Clark Thread Mill.

NEWARK, N. J., April 10.-It is very generally understood that Robert and William Clark, who, rather than con tinue to associate with Superintendent Walmsley of the Clark Thread Company, resigned from the company few weeks ago, have determined to embark ill the thu cad manufacturing business them selves, and have selected site at Arling- ton upon which to erect mill. The striking spinners will probably find em- plcyment with the new concern.
