AN IRlSHMAN'S WIT,

A short time ago two Americans on
a visit to Ireland hired a boatman for
the purpose of having a sail. One of
the Yankees, thinking he would have a
Joke at Pats expense, asked him if he
knew anything about astrology.
Be jabers, no, said Pat.
Then that's the best part of your life
Just lost, answered the Yankee.
The second Ameaucan then asked
Pat if he knew anything about theology.
Be jabers, no, again answered Pat.
Well, | just guess that's the very best
part of your HE lost, said the second
Yankee.
A few minutes later the boat capsized
and Pat began to swim. The Yankees,
however, could not swim, and both
called loudly to Pat to help them.
Do you know anything of swimology?
asked Pat.
No, answer both Yankees.
Well, be jabers, replied Pat, then
both of your lives is lost.

THE NOTE ELEGANT.
The Careful Woman Should be Very T.
ticular in her Correspondence. =

1t takes poet or woman to
derSe into the few brief sentences
the conventional note the comprel
siye, graceful message of congrap
ton or coincidence, the elegant acF
tanCe OF invitation, or the exquisit
iusal which never ofends. Some or.
called woman "the genius OF episto
communication" and indeed the
OF graceful letter writing is one pecu
to women, handed down from MOI
to daughter through the mystery
heredlty. Certain regulations govern
these apparently spontaneous produc
ti1nS, even as Browning sonnet in all
It's mysticism conforms 10 The require
ments OF verse structure. In the first
place the note elegant is not written
upon the convenient correspondence
card" but upon a small sheet of thick
cream paper, either glazed or rough,
according as the writer's taste inclines.
The sheet has at the top the street and
number OF the Iady's address in plain
letters, the name OF her country home,
or the town in which she lives, if it is SO
small as TO be without numbered
houses. The sheet Is folded once and
inclosed in square envelope, and is
more elegant and ceremonial if sealed
with wax.
As to the chirOgraphy, that which is
most Illegible is most stylish. If a wo-
man cannot correct her unfortunate
habit OF writing so that people can
read it in any other way she uses
quill pen, which generally brings about
the desired result. The feature of the
stylish hand is that ii has no curves,
but is sharply pointed and the letters
are closely crowded together. The
reason why this style OF writing is con-
sidered elegant is that it cannot from
its formation be written hastily. Any
evidence of haste is considered inele-
CANT, whether it manifests itself in
carelesvollet or in careless note.
The note begins on the first page,
skIps to the fourth, and finishes up by
being written across the sheet on the
inside pages. This is one OF the
things it is we'll for man to remember,
for sometimes the words of the fourth
page are not read at all, as the sigma
ture is on the third and complications
arse thereby.
One thing for woman to remember
is that she can never afford to write a
careless note, for some one is certain
to see it and Judge her by it just as
she Is sure 10 meet the man for whose
opinion she most cares when she goes
out in her old bonnet.
The woman who wrote in her haste
upon her visiting card, Come with
pleasure" in answer to dinner invita-
ton, found the gates of society closed
against her ever afterward as one too
busy or too brief for civility. Abbre-
viatiOns and numerals are as bad form
in the note elegant as derby hat with
4 dress suit.

GOING TO BED HUNGRY.

DR.. W. 7. Cathell has entered a
strong protest against the old-tashioned
idea that people should 90 to bed com
paratively hungry, says the Phlladel-
phia Press. He is of opinion that
fasting during the long interval between
supper and breakfast, and especially
the complete emptiness of the stomach
during sleep, adds greatly to the
amount OF emaciatiOn, sleepleSsneSs
and general weakness 50 often met
with. 1t is we'll known that in the
body there Is a perpetual disintegration
of tissue, sleeping or walking it is
therefore, natural to believe that the
supply of nourlshment should be some
what continuous, especially in those in
whom the vitality is lowered.
As bodily exercise is suspended dur

A Wealthy Farmer Missing.

TITUSvIIIE, Sept, 12-J0hn Hancox,
a wealthy and well known farmer resid-
ing about five miles west of this city, has
disappeared in a very mysterious man
ner. Thursday morning last he left
home in his shirt sleeves, telling his
wife he was going to look at field of
buckwheat on the Ross farm and that
she might look for him back by noon.
Since that time he has not been heard
from.
Fully three hundred men have been
searching for him since Friday, and eve
ry inch of ground within radius of five
miles has been carefully gone over. The
Ross farm is tenanted by family named
Golden, consisting of father, mother
and several children, some of them
young men and women grown. One of
the girls is an idiot, and another only Il
few days ago gave birth to a child
Early in the week the Hancox and
Golden families had a squabble regard
ing who should use water from a well
located in the Ross farm. 1t is claimed
at that time Golden and his wife made
threats that they would put Hancox out
of the way. The bucKwheat field Han
cox started for is located near the Gold
ems house. The searching party found
a lot of pieces of bone in the ernbers of
a smouidering brush pile near the house.
1t has not yet been determined by the
physician to whom they were submitted
for examination whether they are the
bones of an animal or human being.
The Goldens will probably all be ar
rested. The residents in the vicinity are
highly excited and the officers have gone
out from here to prevent a lynching'

Take Different Views.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept 12-The ton
mage system went into effect to-day at
the Homestead mill and so far as Is
known will govern from this time.
With regard to its operation David
Lynch, of the advisory committee rep
resenting the locked out men, said this
afternoon: The on-unionists were
badly enough off before in the Home
stead mill when they were paid day
wages but now they will be ten limes
worse, and in my opinion they won't be
able to live at all now, that they viii

amount of steel they turn out. Not
that alone, but from to-day they are to
be charged for their board while before
their mouths were supplied free by the
company Since the beginning Of the
trouble ut Homestead when the lockout
was instituted, | have never felt so en-
couraged as | do to-day, that our men

Secretary Lovejoy takes a different
view of the things. He stated To day
that the amount of work now turned out
of the Homestead plant justified a re-
turn to the scale prices OF the tonnage
system. 1t Is true, he said, '.that in
the future the men viii be required to
pay for their meals, but it Will he saving

THE Maine election says the Phila-
delphia Times, is not a Republican
knockout, but it falls little short of it.
1t does not in any measure retrieve the
awful paralysis that Vermont flung
upon the party, but it rather adds to the
gloom of the Republican situation.
Never was party effort more thoroughly
exhausted TO send out an inspiring ma
jority from Blaines's state, but Maine,
ike Vermont proclaims to the country
that its Republican vote Is rapidly di-
minishing and that New England has
ceased to enthuse over the Republican
policy of today.
There are some most significant re
suits in Maine beyond the general loss
of more than two-thirds of the Repub-
lican majority. Blaine did not register
and was thus not qualified to vote, and
his home city gave only $50 majority as
against 500 at the last election. The un-
written word in Baine's campaign letter
and his uncast ballot speak IL mute but
impressive eloquence of his attitude in
the contest.
Ex-Speaker Reed received a most
pointed admonition in his own home.
Two years ago he carried Portland 10y
1,527 majority and on Monday last he
received only l76. His majority in the
district was 4,SOO two years ago, when
there was a general landslide through
out the country against his party, and
now he is returned by less than 1000.
The lesson of Maine is that there is
no Harrison tide in present political
currents. He is not yet Il defeated can
didate, but it is evident that the politi-
cal situation as it is now presented,
must he greatly improved for the Re
publicans to bring him within range of
re election. Maine has not given him
Knockout but it has sent hIm soggy
to his corner.

One Vessel Out OF Provisions.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 1.-THE steam
ship Ohio, which arrived at Delaware
breakwater from Liverpool with steerage
and cabin passengers Saturday, is still
detained in the government quarantine
there. Manager Higbee, of the Inter
national Navigation company, made un
successful efforts to-day at the meeting
of the local board of health to have the
board request the authorities at Wash
ington to release the Ohio from the gov
ernmment quarantine and allow her
to come up to the Philadelphia quaran-
tine, about y miles below this city.
The Ohio sailed on the day of the is
suanCe of President HarrisOn's twenty
day quarantine proclamation and the
local authorities show a strong DISPOSE
ton not to attempt TO interfere with the
government authorities. The Ohio is
out of reach of provisions and the mar
inc hospital surgeon at the breakwater
says it will be impossible to get a new
supply on board while the vessel is quar-
antined.

COLONEL T. E PEARsAIL, chairman of
the Democratic General Committee of
Kings county, New York, announced
on Monday afternoon that Senator Dav-
id b. Hill had formally accepted the in
vitation of the Democrats of Kings coun-
ty to address them on the issues of the
Presidential campaign at meeting to
be held in the Academy of Music in
Brooklyn on Monday evening, Septem-
ber 10. The announcement was re-
ceived with great satisfaction at the
Democratic State headquarters, and
with equal qualification at the Demo
cratic National headquarters, to which
the news of Senator Hills acceptance
was communicated by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sheehan.
1t has never been doubted at either
headquarters that Senator Hill would
take very active part in the canvass,
and for some time it has been known
that his first address was likely to be
made in Brooklyn.
Arrangements for meetings at which
Senator Hill will deliver other speeches
in the advocacy of the election of the
Democratic national nominees are in
progress, and, undoubtedly, one of them
will be at Tammany Hall; but Senator
Hills engagement for Brooklyn on next
Monday night is the only one that can
yet be recorded Ms made positively and
definitely rs to date and place.

fhe Ballot.

HARRISBURG, Sept. 13-Attorney Gen
eral Hensel sent to Secretary Harrlty
his opinion as requested regarding the
proper form of official ballot to be issued
by the state department. The prlncl-
pie of discussion, SAYS the Attorney Gen
eral, has been the order In which the
names of the candidates should he print
ed, particularly as To their arrangements
in groups. He states that the clear IN
tent of the act Of June. 1891, Il that the
ballot shall Toe so p-inted to give each
voter an opportunity To designate his
choice of candidates by a cross mark ia
a sufficient margin at the right OF the
name OF each candidate. He says 1t i
also clearly provided that the voter shall
have an opportunity to designate his
choice of all the cand idateS of Il pOlItl-
cal party or group by one cross or mark
in the margin to the right OF the party,
name of political designation of such
group. The Attorney General refers to
the incongruities in the act, but says
that the secretary of the commonwealth
is given a wide discretion in the adop-
ton of such forms as will best effect the
general purposes of the act.
He discusses the various forms at
some length and advises Secretary Han
rity to arrange the candidates in groups,
with the political appellation at the
head of each group. First will come
the Republican groups in the left OF the
ticket, next the Democratic, then the
names OF candidates nominated by nom
ination, in alphabetical order The At
torney General can see no reason why

or Democrat" where it appears on the

Saved by His Toes.

The sturdy toes of John Daroski saved
him from a horrible death on Saturday.
He with other workmen were repairing
the West Penn Railroad bridge over the
Conemaugh River at Livermore. \
freight train approached and all the men
but Daroski fled. He didn't see the
danger and was struck by the engine.
He was knocked off and fell head fore
most down through the bridge He did
not, however, drop to the rocky river
bottom 30 feet below, as his compan-
ions expected. His toes were caught be
tween two ties in the bridge and there he
hung, head downward while the slowly
moving work train passed over him. 1t
was a horrible situation and the slight
est movement meant an awful death.
Daroski's companions ran upon the
bridge, threw a looped rope around his
body and pulled him up. The man was
unconscious but alive and the doctors
could find no broken bones. He will
recover.

THE Democratic National Committee
from their headquarters in New York,
on Wednesday issued the following ad-
dress:
To the People Of the United States:
The Democratic National committee
congratulates the country on the result
of the recent state elections in Maine,
Vermont and Arkansas. In Arkansas
the combined opposition, after so many
extravagant claims, fell short by over
$4,000 of the votes of the Democracy
alone. This has brought dismay to the
combination in the South, and to its
manipulators in the North. In Maine
and Vermont the contest was conducted
on distinctly national issues. The Re
publican managers appealed for votes in
those states on the ground that the size
of the pluralities would exert a great
moral influence on the campaign in other
states, and that the poll would be prac-
ucally our vote for President Similar
appeals summoned to their aid the
potent resources of their national organ
ization, with its exhaustless treasury and
its splendid equipment of orators of
national fame. with every favoring
force at their command, except public
opinion, with no organizations opposed
save those made up within the states by
minority party which has been out of
power for a generation. and which was
unaided from without, the campaign of
universsr'es for triumphant test votes
in these states so carefully planned and
so thoroughly executed, has ended in
conspicuous disaster. Our friends every
where are entitled to take fresh courage
from these results. They mean that the
strong tendency of public sentiment is
with the Democracy, and that the peo-
pie of the country are prepared to enforce,
rather than reverse, the verdict which
they rendered in 1890.
