BURLINGTON.

BURLINGTON, O., June 27.-Quite an
amusing incident occurred on Thursday
evening. which ended in disappointment
to a number Of our friends, who are inter-
ested in the gas and oil business. 1t seems
that some person started the report that
the Glenns Run Oil Company had struck
gas. The news spread like fire in straw
stack. The people were made TO feel
little uneasy when they heard that the gas
had exploded, and that the derrick had
been blown away. A number OF Martins
Ferry people went out to the well on horse
hack. while others left in vehicles. After
investigating the matter, we are informed
that the only gas that could be found was
that which went through the spigot OF a
beer keg. which had been tapped In that
neighborhOod.

snectal cortesposdsnce ofMe Reg.stsr.

New York, June PA am much
puzzled to understand why an editor
should wish me to write an article about
midnight feasts at Vassar. In fact, it
is rather Disseminating, just as one
leaves college for good, with her mind
full of great ideas about work in the
big, serious world, to be questioned
about schoolgirl pranks, which she
would almost wish forgotten in her new
dignity of bacheorhood. Now, a little
essay on 1.-The Higher Education Of
Women," or "The Influence OF College
Bred Women on Affairs would seem TO
me much better worth while, IL | were
an editor.
However, if / can't be serious / will
be reminiscent, which is the next best
thing, and remind you that the best OF
the good times are all over at Vassar,
since the corridor teachers-the police
were done away with. For the last
year the students have done pretty much
as they liked, and, of course, they have
behaved better than ever before, as
there was no reason to do otherwise.
When the school was first founded, in
the old bootjack days, the rules were
very strict.
You don't know what the bootjack
days were? Why, they say that Mr..
Vassar was so ignorant Of the require
ments of young women that he included
bootiack in the furniture Of each
room in fitting up the college. | don't
know whether this is really true or not,
but | think it must be, for | have seen
several of the bootiacks, which are val
ued very highly as decorations.
As was saying. in the old days the
rules were strict and the police were
lynx-eyed. Even as late as my coming,
in 1887, the spy system was kept up,
and of course we had great sport in
GLIDING our watchers. Whenever any
girl got box of good things from
home, she at once planned "spread. "
Spreads were of two kinds. One was
decorous, respectable and dull, under
the protection and with the approval of
the police. The other kind was secret,
mysterious, and much more alluring
without their knowledge. An invita-

tongue was getting into line-''1t's you
as | have been planning this year or
more &c ask, but somehow you was alters
so sweet lOokln' and so quiet that l
somehow couldn't do it"-Surely the I'M
ruly vocal powers were getting very
obedient-"Ive loved yon from little
girl-I've-Tve-"
The machinery stopped suddenly here,
and it was as much as half minute be-
fore he continued.
"You see, don't know how to tell 1t,
but love you. love you with all my
heart, and alters have, and I've wished
and wished l could tell you, but |
couldn't, bein' so stupid; but Eve told
you now, and Pm glad, fer amt no
room in my heart Tor no one else"
He was quite choked up with emotion
now, yet in his eyes were a new bold
ness, a new inspiration, and he leaned
eagerly forward for her answer.
It was now her turn TO be confused.
The willy Martha Ann forgot her cum
ming Of speech. forgot her well-laid plan
and the first she knew the tears were
rolling down her cheeks. She had no
words to say.
She allowed her head to sink slowly
toward his breast and hiding her face
there with his strong arms about her,
she gave herself up 10 the soft passion
Of tears.
And then he raised her tenderly and
kissed her over and over again-how, he
never knew and will never be able to
explain to himself, for he had no need
to be told she loved him and was his for
all time.
And so they sat silently while the fire
flickered and grew passionate in turn,
and the old clock licked with gladder
tone, and even the breathing OF the god
OF night in the lilacs became subdued.
And so, heart beating against heart and
hand claSping hand, they sat, too full
Of the spirit ofloye to say aught
And this is how they became en-
gaged.
Yet still the people of the big creek
section are wondering, Ibid Martha
Ann really propose?"

Before their minds rose unbidden the
vision of the woman with the artificial
nose, whose portrait has illuminated all
the papers in the country for so many
long years. They drew closer together,
Shuddered invOluntarily and were silent.

But IL. around my place Of sleep,

Should keep them lingering by my tomb.

steamer Palestine, Loaded With Coal,
Sinks.
SAN Francisco, June 26.-The steam
er Palestine, commanded by Captain
Mccartney, a vessel of 1,400 tons, nine
days out from Tacoma with twenty-five
hundred tons of coal for the Southern
Pacific Co., struck on rock yesterday.
A big hole was knocked in her bottom
and she sank an hour after striking, in
thirteen fathomS of water. Only the
tops of her maSts are now visible. AS
soon as it was seen that She must go
down, Captain Mccartney ordered the
boat lowered and all on board, twenty
one in number, embarked safely, as the
sea was quite calm at the time and the
weather clear. The tug Wizard towed
the shipwrecked sailors into the harbor.
The Palestine was built in Bath,
Maine, in 1877 and was owned by Capt.
Samuel Blair, of this city. She was
valued at about $4,000 As far as
known the insurance on the vessel was
but $4,000. The cargo OF coal valued
At $40, coo, was uninsured.
