SOMERSET, Pa, April s.-Miller and

avengers have secured the mountains
for the murderers, but so fur they have
cludcd capture. Fully fifty men, under
the leadership Of Sheriff Good and
United States secret service agents
Fisher and Dupont, arc engaged in the
chase.
This afternoon Officer Dupont came
upon an old slianty which Miller and
Prtts hnd left evidently in q hurry. A
powder pouch and some cartridges
were found in the shanty, but the
scarchers were unable to find any other
trace OF the fugitives. 1t is now pro-
posed to starve them out. Guards lave
been placed at every pathway in the
mountains and vigilant watch will be
kept until tho murdcrers will be forced

While nearly NIL tho mountainccrs in

WOMEN AND MIRRORS.

 There is at least one lady in Chicago who has the courage to tell the truth in a matter m which most women would tergivcrsate. On being twitted by a re porter for the Inter Ocean on the gen eral fondness of ladies for mirrors she said:
 s'Yes, frankly admit that when a woman has got her bonnet and gloves on and is perfectly ready. with her par asol in hand, she always goes bacx to the mirror to take a last fond farewell. Every woman does this. but few are honest enough to confess it. Il don't mind telling you,- continued the frank but cynical young lady. that myself am not satisfied with one last look. invariably take four. The first IS for myself, that's fair; the second is for my brother. or--or some other young man, that's nothing but just; the third is for rny friends. that's only gen erous, and the last is for the women I dspt like and who don't like me. that's s human nature. If the fourth satisfies me. then, assure you, never take any more"

AT A CITY FIRE.

There Is Little Pun There for the Stranger
 and the Town Bell Doesn't Ring.
 Ore of the sharpcst contrasts be- tween life in country towns and life in New York is brought foreibly home to the newcomer in the city the first time he sees the fire engines rushing through the streets to fire. His first feeling is one of surprise that he did not hear the fire bells ring. He has been accustomed to hear every bell in his native town join in wild clangor long before the en- zines are On the way, says the New York Tribune.
 He does nOt know that the only fire bell that sounds at all is the gong in the engine house. which is sounded from the alarm box nearest the fire. Next he ob- serves that few people follow the fire engine. At home everybody who was not a hopeless cripple ran to the fire as fast as his heels could carry him. He cannot resist the temptation here. in fact does not want to, so he follows the engine as fast as he can, wondering that people stare ait him so strangely.
 As he hears the scene he recalls for mer exciting experiences at fires. where he entered burning houses and dragged out the furniture in fine disregard of hoyv badly he smashed it, so long as he got it out in triumph. So he dashes vigorously on, full of glowing antici- patior5 and the best intentions
 Suddenly he is brought up, '.all stand ing" by burly and surly policeman, who roughly bids him keep outside the fire lire Then he discovers that there is little fun for the onloolSer at a city fire. The police promptly draw cordon around the burning building. and nc one can get near it without fire badge" which is not easily secured by the ordinary citizen.

RUSSIAN NOBILITY.
The Farce of BsiIotin,: Upon Candidates
 for Royal .lonors-

The Farce Of BaifDtins tpon Candidates
 for Royal Ionors.
 The Russian nobility is eonstitntion- ally not an exclusive caste. There is a constant fiuctuation in its numbers. Persons of the lower classes are often raised to nobility if they make thcm- selves deserving in the government service, and nobles are degraded if for the commission of crime thu courts deprive them of their titles and prefer ences." A complaint has reached the senate, says the Chicago News, Lat an assembly of nobles had refused { enter upon their rolls the names of persons recently raised to their station. Upon further inquiry it was found taat the assemblies of many districts had made it practice to do the same. When q person who had been made noble sought for admission into their councils they would decide his case by ballot. Ii he did not receive a sufficient num- Der of votes he was excluded from their rolls and assemblies. The ''pedigreed nobility" have zealously watched over such ballots and taken care that no new-made noble should be admitted into their circle. The senate therefore decided that as soon as any person was admitted to the privileges of the nobiii- ty he becomes de facto member of the assembly of nobles of his district. It is the duty of the assembly to enter his name upon their rolls and to potiiy him of the constitutional and special meetings held by their body. They have no option in this matter. and their ballo.ing for new candidates is mere

 Across the aisle sat woman richly d-sssel in black, with an unmistaliabie air of breeding, and face that lit up with timid little smile. e.as she stretched out her arms and s,lid. plesainSly:
 ''Do, please. let me take the baby a minute"
 The young mother opened her eyes in astonishmeut and passed over the bun de in the plaid shawl with grateful Thank yc, ma'am."
 The baby screwed up its features, opened its mouth to yell. but thought better of it and hlinlled its eyes up at the new face, stared minute and stopped crying.

She talked to it. cooed to it in quiet whisper, looking so abso- lutely happy that the baby was actual ly induced to laugh a queer little cacli- ling crow. Every body in the car was interested.
 ''iou take to it as if you had one of your own, ma'am," volunteered the mother, adFniringly.
 Tine woman in black looked away and murInured, indistinctly: "l had a little one once" And. as she kissed the dirty. pink, pudgy face and handed the child back to its mother, one shin ing, salty drop fell into the folds of the old plaid shawl. And then the sweet .lcct woman hurried out of the car without backward look.
