Powderly's Power Over Men.
Especial Correspondence,1

OMAHA, Aug. 16.-At the national con-
vention of the Peoples party in Omaha
occurred an incident illustrating the.power
of a single man over a great mass. but it
passed almost unnoticed in the daily press.
Among the delegates was a minister
from Pennsylvania who evidently was
mentally unbalanced. He first attracted
attention by bobbing up on his seat when
something in the proceedings pleased him
and shouting, "IIet the people arise and say
amen!' This happened so often that the
convention, ignorant of the mans condi-
ton, but impressed with his religious fer
vor, took up his cry, and the "amen" shout
was one of the pronounced features of the
great gathering.
During the call of the roll of states for
nominating speeches the daft one got up
several times and asked if it was not Penn
sylvania's turn. When that state was
reached it was passed in the hope of avert
ing q scene. The work was progressing
smoothly when, without warning, the
Pennsylvania burst upon the stage and de-
manded attention by shouting to the chair
man, II want to raise a point of orderl"
repeating the demand until the attention
of the whole convention was riveted. The
chairman was too dazed to say or do Y
thing.
Impatient delegates sprang up in all
parts of the big hall shouting: "Pull, him
down!'' PUT him outW Three sergeants-
alarms rushed upon the stage and Crap
pied with the unfortunate man, but he
had the traditional strength of a maniac
and made a successful struggle against
the odds. All was confusion, and the
shouting delegates threatened a mad rush
for the platform, when a majestic figure
doomed up before the convention, the left
hand held aloft deprecatingly while the
right snatched the gavel from the chair
man n gave two or three laundering
raps on the desk. t7,
The great audience was hushed on the
instant, and the sergeants-at-arms released
their hold. The change was like magic.
Gentlemen Of the convention, y said he,
"this delegate has raised a point of order
and he shall have one minute in which to
state it,"
The tones were imperious and rang out
into the farthermost recesses of the great
hall. There was nothought of u%surpation,
no objection to the order, and the conven-
ton acquiesced without a murmur. Anod
to the delegate at his side and the insane
man made an incoherent speech about a
nom1nee acceptable to God, stamping his
feet and swaying wildly back and forth
until his face all but touched his knees.
The uplifted hand Of the self appointed
chairman commanded silence, and for one
never to be forgotten minute that immense
throng listened amid the profoundest hush
to the rawlings Of an insane man. Then the
gavel fell, and Terence v. Powderly, the
knights OF Labor leader, droppedthe badge
Of authority, slipped his brotherly arm
through the arm Of the poor unfortunate
and led him to his seat as unresisting and
asdocile as q lamb. FRED BENzINGER.

One Hundred and Forty-one
Miners Buried in a Coal Pit
in Wales.
Grave Fears Entertained That
the Entire Number Have
Perished.
Work of Rescue Going on Slow.
ly-A Number Of Bodies
Recovered.

LONDON, Aug. y7.-An explosion,
which, it is feared, may be attended by
enormous loss of life, has occurred at
Aberkenfig, hear Bridgend, in the
county of Glamorrgan, Wales. One
hundred and forty-one miners are en-
trapped in a coal pit owing to an explo-
sion which shattered the galleries by
which they could have made their exit,
and nothing is known of their fate.
When the explosion took place a vol
ume of coal dust arose from the mouth
of the pit, and this, along with the
rumbling noise, gave notice to the in
habitants that something serious had
occurred. Women and children rushed
to the mouth of the pit, crying and
wailing for the fathers, husbands and
brothers below. The scenes at the
pits mouth were most distressing,
and efforts were at once made to reach
the entombed miners to ascertain the
extent of the calamity. Their efforts so
far have proved unsuccessful and the
indications are that the explosion may
have destroyed every life in the mine.
The miners have called on men from
~neighboring collieries to assist in the
work of rescue and the most strenuous
exertions are being made to open a way
to the unfortunates below. In several
instances women have gone frantic over
the suspense and some of them have in
sisted on taking part in the work. Many
hundreds of spectators have assembled
from all directions and work is at a
standstill in the vicinity, so great and
general is the anxiety to ascertain
whether those in the mine are alive or
not.

Incontrovertible Facts.

The best year the United States gov
eminent has ever known ended June 80.
1t was also the first year of the McKin-
ley tariff. This law raised the duty on
a few competitive products and de-
creased the tax On every necessity of life
which cannot be produced in this coun-
try. The decreases exceed the increases
by about $50, DOC, OO0, a year in revenue,
and the result is that a larger proper
ton Of our commerce is now entirely
free than at any other period since the
war.-Jamestown journal.

Cleveland Will Try to Dodge.

The trend of the Democratic party is
now clearly and unchangeably fixed in
the free trade direction. But after MI.
Cleveland's experience in 1883 he can
see the danger of prematurely alarming
the country, and he will shrinkfrom the
too bold avowal and application of his
own doctrine during the campaign. The
Chicago declaration has aroused the
country to a full sense of what Demo-
cratic success means. - Philadelphia

Under the new tariff old industries
have been stimulated and many new
industries started, which are now esti-
mated to have given employment to
from 100000 to $50, 600 persons, and it is
asfact well established by reports frou
all countries that at this time, while de-
preston andganxiety exist in their indus
tries, there is prosperity ID the United.

Cleveland and the Veterans.

There are living a million of Union
veterans, and it is safe to say that very
few of them will vote to again place
Mr.. Cleveland in the presidential Office.
If there be any among them who think
that the government should not care for
the men who preserved it, that it is not
the duty Of the nation to provide for its
defenders-and it is possible that there
are some such-they will doubtless vote
for the Democratic candidate. -Burling-

A Bright Little Bow.

AAOcAo A/oJ
The Anaconda Standard, in speaking
of a song mission entertainment, given
by some Of the little children of Butte,
says:
The hit of the evening was undoubtedly
scored by Stanley Quinn, the bright little
5-year-old son Of Editor j. NJ. Quinn, of
the Miner, who has blonde hair falling
all over his perfect features in long curls.
The little fellow is as pretty as a picture,
and he is as bright and clever as he is
pretty. He recited 'Sheridan's Ride" in a
manner that would have done credit to a
trained elocutionist of many times his
tender years and in a voice so strong that
every word could be distinctly heard. He
appeared perfectly at home on the stage,
and his gestures and attitudes were those
of a finished actor. A perfect storm of ap-
plause followed his first effort, and, in re
Spouse to a most enthusiastic and per-
sistent encore, he recited barbara
F%ritchie," another difficult selection, which
was rendered in fully as good style as the
first. The little fellow was fairly covered
with flowers by admiring friends.

The expense as well as the impossi-
billty of leaving ones business makes it
entirely out of the question for many
people to take a vacation, however bad
they may need it. In all cases, where
one can afford it, q vacation is probably
preferable to %tonics; but for the tens Of
thousands who can take no rest the
brain and nerve tonic of modern medi-
cal science is an indispensable safe
guard. g
Nothing that Is known to the medical
profession to-day is the equal of Pe-ru-na
in the cure or prevention of all derange-
ments due to hot weather. Pe.ru-na
gives new vigor to the tired brain,
strength and quiet to the weakened
nerves, and as nearly supplies the need
of a vacation to the overworked man or
woman as it is possible for any remedy
to do. Peru ma is a reliable specific for
for nervous prostration, nerve exhaus-
ton, sleeplessness, and chronic malaria.
