We were discussing the wonderfully short

dreamed by a dreamer whose creamery is
in good order and geared up for fast work.
The city editor had worked off the

The Hustler.

The hustler, being unbelOved
BY every Grace and Muse,
He eats at night in Boston and
Next morn in Syracuse.
From the Adirondack mountains
To the far Pacific slopes
He plays with lines of latitude
Like little skipping ropes.
His home is in the sleeping car
No vine or fig trees shade
His music is its clanking wheels,
His poetry is trade.
This missionary of the mart
He spreads the true faiths germs
The endless merits of his house
Above all other firms.
He buttonholes the kings of trade,
His sample case unrOlls,
And talks until the love of life
Grows feeble in their souls.
The bOlted doors swing wide for him,
He needs not bolts nor bars,
And fears not any face of man
Beneath the sun or stars.
The heroes of baronial times
Were armed from hair TO heel,
With iron pots upon their heads
And pantaloons of steel.
The hustler hero of today
Is armorless and weak
But for the vigor of his tongue
And blushleSs breadth of cheek.
He meets all men with fearless mien,
Nor knows to pause or swerve,
With Lilliputian bashfulness
And Brobdingnagian nerve.
No dim distractions vex his soul;

HAPPY OLD MAIDS.
Their Curious Organization and Its worl,
in Milford, Conn,

Their Curious Organization and Its Work
in Milford, Conn.
This town boasts of as many pretty
girls as any in Connecticut, and it also
boasts of some odd ones. At Minor
Smiths Shore hotel yesterday there
was an assembly of girls" who proba-
bly, have no counterparts in this state of
hasty marriages and easy divorces.
They used to he called the "Bce Hive
society of the First church of Milford, {"
but at their meeting yesterday they
voted to adopt "Old Maids society" as
the title of their orga nization.
Thirty-five years ago thirty young
women belonging to the church organ
lied the "Bee Hive society for fun as
well as work in an ovangelistic way.
They passed a rule that only unmar-
ried women might belong, and that if Il
member so far forgot her promises as to
marry, her name should be stricken
from the rolls, and her picture on the
wall of the socicty's club-room was to
be draped in mourning. Each member
paid twenty dollars initiation fec. This
money was invested, and the interest
was to be used in providing an annual
dinner. The principal could not be
touched until only one member was left,
when the whole sum, with accumulated
interest, was to revert to her.
For several years the socie ty -four
ished, but at last Cupid came. and the
youngest and prcttiest member fell a
victim to him. Her picture was draped
with black and she was formally ex-
PEELED. The next year.two more of the
original thirty withdrew to marry, and
SO it went on in spite of the earnest
protestations of each member that no
man living could tempt her to marry.
This year just half the original num-
Der remain, and they were all present
at the supper at Smiths hotel The
oldest member confessed without
bushes to being sixty years old, and
the youngest is forty-eight. They are
handsome, sprightly women, and only
one wears glasses. The president called
attention to the fact that not set Of
false teeth could be found among them,
and wanted to know where the reporter
could find fifteen better-lool1ing or bet
ter-spiritcd women of their age.
Residents of Milford arc watching
the club with interest. Their work
among the poor of the church and town
is spoken of with the highest respect
by the pastors and selectmen, and, al
together, the Old Maids society is not
such bad thing. The original fifteen
hundred dollars which formed the as
sets of the club had been so we'll in
vested that the amounts now five thou
sand dollars.

EARTHQUAKES in JAPAN.
Sir Edwin Arnold Us tho Littio Onos
Arc Not Needed.

br EuWiu Arnolu S'y5 tho IittIo OnoA
Arc Not Needed.
81 was nstonished," Sir Edwin Ar
mold said to a Pittsburgh Dispatch re-
porter, ''by the news of such terrible
earthquake i'm Osaka and Nagoya
Never, if memory serves me, has an
earthquake visited that region before.
The usual scene of seismic disturbances
is in and around Toxic and islands near
the capital arc pointed out us their
foci. Near there is also the great vol
cano of Fugisan. Thirty years ago
twenty thousand persons arc said to
have persisted by earthquake and flood,
but this recent loss is evidently greater.
Osaka and Nagoya are busy, populous
cities.
'Nagoya is about two hundred and
fifty miles from Toxic and on the south
coast. A railway runs between it and
Toxic. The country abounds in hills,
many of them volcanic and no doubt
fires underlie the ground. 1t was here
that last year the Japanese troops ex-
ecuted their military maneuvcrs under
the eye of the emperor. 1t is large
city of wide, well-planned streets and u
population of one hundred and twenty
thousand. The principal occupation of
its inhabitants has been the production
of silk and cotton wove goods, and it is
very famous for it's porcelain. Osaka is
very rich and prosperous manufac-
turing city on the border of river that
leads to the sea. 1t is not so much
damaged, l imagine, as Nagoya.
"Thc great danger in earthquakes is
due rather to fire than to any commo-
ton. The houses are usually only one
story high and are of thin woodwork
and paper. A bad earthquake easily
shakes down these fragile houses, and,
as every one contains a fireboX and a
petroleum lamp, general bonfire is
the result. Light earthquakes are so
common in japan they attract little
notice. They begin with Il little com
motion, twice or three times repeated.
The vibration increases and roar fol-
lows. When you begin to wonder what
is about TO happen it ceases and all is
quiet. To guard against these frequent
Standings the Japanese have invented
an ingenious contrivance.
sin my house at Azova the column of
cherry which supports the roof was
pivotcd under the floor to a stone like a
cup 80 VndI tne earthquake ana not
cause it to tumble down but only made
it oscillatc. An earthquake door has
also been invented which is fastened to
strong, massive joint, which slips
along the beams. Thus the danger of
being struck down in the doorway is
removed, but the danger arises chiefly
from the ignition of the ruins, as have
described. The consequent floods, too,
are very destructive. The earth is lifted
up by tho shock and a huge wave swells
in from the sea upon the city on it's Dor

NOV A ONE-MAN PARTY.

The Hill wing of the New York
Democracy says that the calling of an
early State convention to select dele
gates to the Chicago convention was not
a Cleveland issue. They argue that
sCleveland's friends will have an equal
chance, since Hills candidacy has been
no secret for at least year. The con-
vention will be hold February % at
Albany, and it is fortunate for the
Democracy that New York is to show
her hand SO early in the campaign.
Hill will probably capture the dele
cation, and though Cleveland has more
followers throughout the country than
any other one man, this will settle the
question as to his availability, but not
necessarily insure the nomination Of
Hill.
The political history of this country
relates many party defeats because Of a
ono man policy, and there is a growing
indication that the Democratic party
will not make this fatal mistake at
Chicago next June.
