The TATTLER.

The idea Of organizing press clubs
among the editors and publishers and
writer's OF our newspapers, though slow
in coming 10 fruition, is now making
good progress, and associations OF this
kind are springing up on all sides. The
press club recently organized in this
city bids fair 10 assume considerable
proportions and the proprietors are
greatly encouraged at the prospects.
Such organizations are expected to de-
velOp the newspaper man both mentally
and, might say, morally. In fact the
amount of good that may result from
an association OF this kind can only be
told after the scheme has been a fair
trial. The news gatherers can make
their work a pleasant duty and accom-
plish much more than at present II pet
w iealousies arc cast aside and there is
a general minglng Of the press boys.

The sun has been the cause OF so
many violent bursts Of weather, say the
astronomers. Sun spots are the cause
Of wars, pestilence, dry spells, cold
spells, epdemics Of grip and chicken
pox, dynamite scares, high hats at the
theatre, riots at Deer Island, the crank
that walketh in darkness and the cigar
cite smoker that wasteth at MONDAY.
And sun spots brought Thursday 1.-The
worst storm Of the season" IL was not
only the worst, but IL was pre-eminent-
ly great spectacular, realistic storm,
with life-lke and startling effects, as
they say on the bills of every play that
is particularly bad.
II came early and stayed late.
With blizzardous force it struck the
town before daylight and remained I'M
I'll after nightfall.
For tender, sensitive souls, who have
an eye for the beautiful and who could
stay in doors, the weather was, no
doubt, to their liking, but for the aver
age individual little less of the beau
.iful and little less OF the blow from
the north would have suited better.
But so long as those sun spots appear
we will have TO take what we get.
March IS the faVOrite month for hon

To ne Edror Of As Register:
SlR:-In what connection did Secretary
Foster use the term flannel mouth In
speaking Of the lrishi
FRESHMAN.
Wheeling, March II.
In the New York Herald'S cable news
Of Friday week appeared the report OF
an interview with Secretary FOSTER, ia
London, which contained the following
paragraph;
America assimilates all Among the
best we get are the Irish. We take your
clam mouthed Irishman, with his vile and
children. an in the rough. In few years
ne is absorbed altered in every physical
appearance 70 rank with our best citizens,
lead our municipalities, and IN single gen
Grafton become one with the best American
type
When Secretary FOSTER learned what
had been printed he cabled a correction
to the Herald He had not, he said,
used the epithet 'clam mouthed." He
had been unsupported. What he had
said was "Hauuel mouthed." This did
no, better the matter. The Herald in
terviewed a number of New York Irish
Americans about il, and found that
they didn't like "han8el mouthed" any
better than ''clam mouthed." Some Of
them admitted that the Secretary in
tended 20 pay compliment to the en-
ergy and adaptability of the Irish, but
they were sure he had chosen an unfor-
tunate way Of doing IL, which the REG
IsrEE thinks is patent to everyone.
EDITOR HALsrEAD, who has for
many years had close personal connec-
tions with Mr.. BLAINE, writes as fol-
lows;
We are afraid Mr.. Blaine is very i'll, in
deed The influenza has sorely tried the
strongest men, and the delicacy OF Mr..
Blaine's condition is well knOwn-too well
known 10 himself and all near him.
Mr.. HALsTEAD may magnify the
gravity of Mr.. BLAINE's condition, but
his statement may well cause solicitude
concerning the Secretary Of State.
THE REGISTER presents the views OF
a number of eminent local divines upon
that most important Of all the church
festivals-Leut. Whereas there is a
wide divergence Of opinion, the fact
stands forth conspicuously that no harm
can come to ones spiritual and moral
welfare by an honest determined effort
10 make some personal sacrifice during
the Lenten season, while much good
and more peace of mind may result to
the Individual who makes the trial.

A Divorce Applicant Who Had Been
WrongGully Imprisoned in an Asylum.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 14.-Some
sensational testimony was given by Wesley
A. Merchant, of Warsaw, N. Y, in his ap-
plication for divorce from Alice C. Mer-
chant He was the owner of 300
acres near that place. He had ten
horses and $4,000 in the bank and
was prospering., In July, 1891, he was
working in his field, when he was seized by
messengers sent out by his wife. This was
at o'clock in the afternoon AT IL o'clock
that night he says he was in the insane
asylum at Buffalo. He says he was con-
fined in the asylum for five weeks, when
his wife secured his dismissal.
Meanwhile, he swears she tried to get
the Sc, 900 from the savings bank, but had
failed. In March, 1892, Mrs. Merchant,
the plaintiff says, threated to have him
again consigned to the asylum, when Mer-
chant left for Canada to escape his wite's
clutches. While Merchant was in Can
ada his wife was appointed guardian
of the personal property. After trip
to Canada he came to Sioux Falls, where
he received divorce to-day. Local ply
sicians who have examined him say he is
not, in their opinion, and has never been
insane He will leave in few days for
Buffalo, where he will begin suit tor the
recovery of his property.

Judge Oates Says the Bone of Contention
Centers in the Pinkertons.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - Special ] -
Judge Oates, Chairman of the sub-commit-
tee of the House which investigated the
Homestead and Pinkerton matters, said to
The DISPATCH correspondent to-day that
he had not the least idea as to what the
committee would do in regard to report.
"Of course, Congress expects some kind of
a report" said the Judge, "but when each
member of the subcommittee seems to want
a report different from every other member
it is pretty hard to guess what will be done.
We shall get together next Tuesday and
talk the matter over and possibly we may
reach some conclusion.
"The bone of contention seems to be in re-
gard to the Pinkertons. l think some of
the committee would like to advise the en-
actment of law prohibiting the mainten-
ance and employment by individuals or
corporations of such armed bodies as the
Pinkertons For my part don't see how
the United States can interfere with mat
ter which seems to me to belong wholly to
the several States, whose citizens are
especially affected If they do not see fit
to enact laws governing such conditions,
don't see why we should step in and legis-
late for them. However, I am but one
member of the committee, and the majority
will decide upon a report, possibly the
minority may decide upon another"

FIFTY MINERS PERISH.
English CoIIieries the Scene Of Another
Unexplained Disaster.

English CoIIieries the Scene of Another
Unexplained Disaster.
LONDON, Dec. 14-At least 30 lives
were lost to-day in the Bamfurlong colliery
at Wigan BY terrible explosion. The
earth was shaken for great distance and a
cloud of smoke shot up through the shaft
into the air. 1t is believed the explosion
was caused by accumulated coal gas which
had escaped the notice of the official charged
with the inspection of the mine.
The flames spread to the engine house at
the head of the air tunnel. This stopped
the pumping of air into the mine and added
greatly to the peril Of those who were in
the pit. The fire was not subdued until
o'clock this afternoon. Some little time
after the bodies of 20 of the miners who had
been suffocated by the noxious gases gen..
Grated in the mine after the explosion were
brought to the surface. Though the work
is extremely dangerous, the exploration of
the workings is continued in the hope that
some of the miners may have reached places
of safety. The rescued miners believe that
the explosion was caused by the sparks
from the engine house, which is said to
have caught fire few minutes before the
explosion Men were sent through the
mines warning the laborers, and many OF
those nearest the shaft escaped. The
miners who worked further from the shaft
tried to rush through fire and smoke and
were suffocated in the effort.
