8 nomeopatn, with quite radical theor1es as to high dilution, and if this were not enough, he looked moreover young and, inferentially, inexperienced. It is an unwritten law that the successful physi clan must never appear young.
 Donald Bartels was not given to con- fidences regarding his ante nuptial amours, which tradition said had been toward those who had accorded him favor, but that, in his utter absorption in the one great passion of his life, all that came before it seemed sunk into utter nothingness. In a prudent inn pulse to forestall the gossips, however, he had told his wife all the story of his friendship with Mrs. Rogers. It was a bald little tale, only worth the telling because of the mountain of talk that had been built up from the mole hill of fact. The Rogerses had simply made him vel come to their house in the unaffected hospitality they extended to all mankind In his bachelor loneliness he had found it remarkably pleasant to be invited to tea, to play croquet in the summer twilight, and take hand at whist on a winter night. And when, one day, the doctor had found him tossing in the misery of mountain fever, Mrs. Rogers had promptly come to his dreary boarding place, bringing delicacies to tempt back his appetite and books to amuse, her visits bringing more life and cheer into the darkened room than all her hus- bands pellets and powders. That the world had afterward. called him her lover was to Donald Bartels always a sufficient refutation of all other gossip about her; the calumny was so absolute ly unfounded in the one instance, it proved how easily the poor little woman might be maligned under other circum- stances.
 "Yet at that very time you were en- gagged to mel! exclaimed Anita, in a voice of eloquent reproach, when she had lis tened to the tale

 Danger is Considered Great

New Pastures Discovered Last Night AL
 most Caused a Panic---Many Families
 Left Their Homes---Five Hundred Houses
 Affected---The Excitement Growing, AL
 though the Mine Owners Say There is
 No Danger.
 HAzLEToN, Pa., Jan. 12.-Last even- ing miner on his way from the Laurel Hill shaft to his home on South Pine street, noticed a ragged black line in the snow near the pavement. He found the crack extended along Pine street 30 feet The miner knew what that meant. He knew that 700 feet below that part of the city men were at work taking out coal s ohe rang the door bell of the nearest house. and told the man who lived there of his discovery.
 An hour later 1000 men and women were patrolling Pine, Chapel, Walnut, Chestnut and Cedar streets with Ian terms. They found fifty cracks from half an inch to five inches in width. In the walls of houses long, ragged lines were found.
 Foundations had fallen away from the frame structures in some cases five inches. The yards and alleys were SetulouJ anu OCCeSlOndlIy CrdCk1nR noise indicated that the buildings were settling further.
 Soon twenty families were moving out of their homes. Women hurried along the streets to 8 safer neighborhood, their arms filled with bundles of clothing, clocks, and bric-a-brac. Sleighs and wagons were backed up to the door steps and all the furniture was carried off
 Now and then it was noticed that the cracks in the streets gaped further, and it was found that for thirty feet on the | north side of Chapel street, east of Pine, the ground had fallen fully yard. Long | undulating hollows here and there showed 1 that the street was caving in elsewhere, | and the excitement grew, minute by | minute.
 l Of those who moved away about a score | took with them part or all of their house ! hold belongings, while the rest put out the fires in furnaces and stoves and de- parted without trying to save any furni ! ture.
 The cave-in commenced on Christmas Day, and the first houses to suffer were in the neighborhood of Broad and Pine streets. It extends southward five blocks and a-half, ending 100 feet beyond Chape street, and east and west about one block between Wyoming and Cedar streets. A Pardee & Co. are the people operating beneath that district. Five hundred houses are affected.

CHAPTER I.

Orodelphia was very much like any other town of its size in Colorado. With western enterprise it had been an incor- porated city before it could boast of five hundred souls, and it was quite as much a matter of course that the ambitious young community should, with all pos sible haste, treat itself to every advan- tage within its reach--the best available system of water works, fine school build ings, handsomely equipped fire depart ment to be proudly exhibited in glitter ing procession on all public occasions, and fair ground, where neighborinS communities might annually be invited to contribute to the glory of Orodelphia Nor had there been any narrow minded hesitation as to assuming q burden of bonded indebtedness heavier than any before when at length the opportunity came to obtain railroad connection with the outside world, and nobody dreamed of murmuring that their public spirited enterprise had saddled them with taxes of corresponding excess. They liked to do things on large scale, and quite took unction to their souls in the fact that they handled no change smaller than a nickel.
 The place was now mostly one long street of uneven and much varied archi- lecture, intersperscd here and there with a vacant lot. Weather beaten wooden buildings of the early day clbowed hand. some brick blocks of conspicuous new ness, the banks and saloons even attain ing the splcndor of plate glass fronts. The slnelter near hrmouth of the canyon at one end of the town and the flour mill on the creek mile below, together told the business of the place, which had grown up as a distributing point and depot of supplies for the rich mining dis tricts of the mountains on one hand, as well as for the ranches spread out over

NOT TAE REAL LEADER.
Prominent Mexican Officials Said to Be
 Backing Garza.

CHICAGO. Jan. PA private letter from Monterey, Mexico, says: Though Garza is intelligent and brave, he is not the real leader of this revolutionary movement. The leader is one of the most prominent men in this republic, and he is ably seconded by very promi- nent military men and diplomats, who will never tire unless killed or trium- phant.
 ''What aids or, rather, will aid the revolutionists is the general depression which reigns, and which makes itself felt more and more every day. The prisons are full of people driven to crime by dis tress, and President Diaz himself under stands that the situation is critical. The police are very active in the search for the leading conspirators, but are meeting with poor success.
 ''L Lameda Diaz, Mexican Consul at Laredo, has orders from the fort to doc tor all reports passing through his hands and destined for the United States.
 "Though Garza may be defeated now by the combined efforts of the United State and Mexico, and though he may be killed, the revolution will not end. Small bands will harrass the government on all sides until the election, when another stronger effort will be made, and then the Conservative or Clerical party may take hand.''

CHAPTER II.

Let no man delude himself with the thought that controlling passion may ever purge from a wOman's heart all memory of his offenses against her. For give she may in exceeding tenderness, but never will she forget. In all that pertains to the man she loves, the passing years will but give her time to remember.
 That Mrs. Rogers should have been talked about, in the full meaning of that pregnant phrase, would have sufficiently damned her i'll the eyes of Mrs. Bartels, who had been educated in most whole some awe of Mrs. Grundy. To her the voice of the people was as the voice of God indeed But that this unconscion- able little coquette should have drawn strom of vulgar gossip was to the wife an offenSe never to be condoned.
 Nowhere does the scandal monger so flourish, and nowhere is he so merciless in his condemnations, as in those frontier communities, where the untrammeled condition of society in it's early days has served up so much highly spiced scandal as to have developed a morbid insatiate appetite for that sort of pabulum. In- sensibly, as he listens, the purest minded grows to regard his neighbor with skep- tical eyes, feeling that to give to anybody the benefit of doubt is the part of charity rather than sound sense. People will have something to talk about, nor, so long as they are amused, are they dis posed to trouble themselves with any too painstaking discrimination between facts and fiction. Cui bono? A lie may be but the truth disguised, and surely peo- pie would be driven to sore extremity for talk if every black imp of scandal must be stripped of its domino of ingen- ious fabrication. And thus, with all the

 Death of His Daughter.

 Mrs. Lindley leaves six children. She was nearly 51 years of age, having been born October IS, 1841. It is but seven weeks ago to-day that Mrs. Cyrus w. Field died, and this new sorrow has greatly prostrated the aged millionaire.

A Scheme That Works.

When you go into the Marble Collegi-
ate church, at Fifth avenue and Twenty
ninth street, you will find in the book
rack of each pew card of the size of a
fashionable envelope. 1t is an "ac-
quaintance card" bearing the PASTORS
name and church address on one side,
with a nice little square in the upper
right hand corner in which is printed,
"lf mailed, two cent stamp here" On
the other side is printed: "ln order that
the pastors may have the opportunity of
seeking personal acquaintance and ex-
tending to you the courtesies of the
church, please write your name and ad-
dress below, drop the card in the pas
tors mail box, hand to an usher or return
by mail. Signed, David James Burrell,
D. D., pastor; Rev. Palmer S. Hubert,
Rev. Alfred E. Myers, assistant pastors"

In little out of the way alley not far
from Stuyvesant square there is small,
dingy barroom. 1t is the favorite drink
ing place of a dozen or more old men,
who are cronies and have met and played
chess there for many years. The aged
proprietor of the place has filled the
room with notwithstanding stuffed
birds, autographs of old New Workers,
theater tickets of quarter of century
ago, a few old fashioned collars, etc.
The old gentleman is facetious occa-
sionally. He has been chuckling over
his latest joke for week or two.
Hanging from the ceiling directly
over the bar is bamboo birdcage. The
four sides of the cage are covered with
cloth curtains. On one of these curtains
is printed this inscription, "a Mexican
Bat" OF course every customer wants
to see the animal, but ON lifting the cur
tain one sees nothing but brick sus.
pended from the top of the cage by a
string. The experiment generally costs
the curious person at least the price of
five fagons of ale.-New York Tribune.

The police regulations in England are
very different from those common in
this country. The policeman there is
not nearly so autocratic as he is here
and would never think of using club
or striking man, except in self defense.
j. Gilmer Speed gives this story of their
mild sway:
Upon one occasion man came into
my Office and created disturbance.
ordered him out. He declined to go, so
sent for policeman. A sergeant came,
| said to him:
"This man does not belong here and
refuses to leave my Office. Will you
please take him out?'
expected the sergeant to tell the man
he must go, and then if he did not move
on expected to see the officer remove
him by force Not at all. The sergeant
said, "You had better leave here, sir"
and his tone was as respectful and civil
as though he was asking a favor.
The man manifested no intention of
leaving, and the police officer began an
inquiry as to his reasons for wanting to
stay. This so eXasperated Inc that put
the man out myself, greatly to the
astonishment and apprehension Of the
officer.
He explained to me that had no right
to interfere in the matter had brought
to his attention, and that doubtless the
intruder would get out a warrant agains,
me and have me arrested for assault.

Mrs. Florence Kelly, special agent of
the Illinois bureau of labor, says of Chi
cago: "There are 1000 sweating shops
in this city, and in each shop are little
girls and boys, Bohemians, Germans,
Russians and Italians, all huddled to-
gether, the girls from twelve to fifteen
years old working at the machines and
the younger children sewing on buttons.
1t is terrible, and for this state of affairs
we are indebted to the philanthropic
Marshall Field, H. w. King and others.
They are the abettors of the sweating
system. The government is also to
blame, for consider it the foster mother
of the system. Laws should be passed
by the city government making it an
otfense for clothes to be made in any
place which is used as a place of habita-
tlon' This is only right, for in the
houses where these cloaks and other
garments are made there is often ma
Hgnant and infectious diseases. The
disease is thus spread into the homes of
wealth and culture"
