Physical Training.

Boys of to-day have great advant-
ages in their physical training over
those OF even ten years ago. 1t is
easily within the remembrance OF
those of us who have not been out OF
college 80 very long, how the mere
nnention of football at home brought
down q storm OF paternal wrath,
while unrelenting prohibition follow
ed us back to shool. The game was
then an enigma, and the newspapers
added horror to the mystery by
printing their accounts OF matches in
"a manner calculated to chill the
blood OF any well-regulated house
hold.
Gradually as the sons induced their
parents to view the sport themselves,
the prejudice wore away. The game
finds favor in schools from Maine to
California, and the result is n genera
ton OF lads growing up whose physi-
cal beauty and healthful condition
put us OF thelast generation to shame.
Our 16-year old STRIPPING, says Har-
per's Young People can outrow, out
run, outswim, outride and outdrive
us; give us points on football, base
ball, and tennis; and happily devoid
Of that sickly pallor peculiar to the
student OF our day, knows quite as
much, with the ruddy glow OF health
in his cheeks. And yet there are to be
found some few that do not favor
athletics for boysl The glorious in

CHESTER. Pa, April 3.-Complaints have
reached police headquarters from women
whose purses have been snatched from
their pockets. One Of the victims gave a
good description of the thief and there
was no end of excitement when George
Williams, amember of the United Repub-
lican Club and leading colored politician
of this city, was arrested last night for
robbing pretty Lille Minner. The descrip-

Williams heard tho cutlery and rushed
into Wilde & Chadwick's store. Lille fol-

warrant was taken out for Williams ar
rest, but this morning Lille was seen by
powerful political friends of Williams
and induced not to appear against the
prisoner. She was handed the amount of
money stolen, SILLY, and Williams pay
ing the costs was released.
This thwarting of justice aroused the
public and tonight Williams was rear

TROUBLE oyEn A MACHINE.
A Case in which Much Interest Ia Take

A Case in Which Much Interest Ia Taken
by Charitable Cit:zens--The Law in the
Case.
Ever since the case relating to the seizure
of sewing machine from defenceless
woman by an agent was mentioned in
The GAZETTE q number of charitable
citizens, who arc always ready and willing
to aid the unfortunate, have interested
themselves in the matter and have signified
their intentions of helping the woman.
The facts concerning the seizure of the
sewing machine are these; About three
years ago the machine was purchased
from the Singer Sewing Machine Company
OF this city for S55. The purchaser was
Mrs. II. ID. Knight of No. Lord street.
According to her story she was 10 pay SO
per month until the machine was all paid
for. This the woman declares she did
until about six months age, when she was
taken i'll with the fever and has been un-
able To work until recently. A short time
ago, she says, the agent forced his way
into her house and took the machine away
after She had paid S33 upon it.
When one of the agents of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company was seen with
reference to the case on Saturday last he
said it was q waste of that charity to aid
the woman. He stated the woman had
been three years in paying for the machine
and that she has declared that it should
not be taken from the house. He told one
of his men to so and get the machine, he
said as he wanted to let the woman know
that il could be reclaimed.
Aside from the merits of the case, which
are evidently clouded by these contradc.
tory statements, there is considerable in
terest in the legal aspect of the affair. II
has been decided more than once by the
courts of this county, that parties selling
goods OH the instalment plan have no
right, when default in payment occurs, to
go into the purchasers house and forcibly
remove the article. They must sue for
their money, as for any other common
debt, no matter what sort of contract the
purchaser may have been induced to sign.
A forcible taking away of the property is
a criminal violation OF law.

THE COR M7NERs' STRIKE.
Its Effect More Deplorable Than Antici
pntch-. Heavy Failures lex nected

LONDON, April 4.-The effect of the strike
of the coal miners in Durham threatens to
be more deplorable than was anticipated.
The stock Of fuel in the large factories
is almost gone and it is probable that in a
few weeks number of heavy failures will
be announced.
There has never been so grave crisis in
the history Of trade and industry in the
north of England. All the berths on the
river Tyne are occupied by vessels made
idle by the strike and firms with a
European reputation are in jeopardy.
Huge coal yards, formerly The scene of the
busiest activity, are now idle. The strike
has already done more harm than any
modern strike, and its effect is becoming
worse daily.

in Ireland regarding the safety of Lord
Headley, of Aghadoe house, near Kill
larney County Kerry, who some time ago
left Fort Salisbury, one of the stations of
the British South African Company in
Mashonaland, with the avowed purpose
of traversing Mashonaland. He was ac-
