HE OBJECTED TO 1T.
Th : Man Had His Osn Ideas on the
Subject of Safe III oisting.

He was an elderly gentleman with
Micaw ber-like appearance. He stood
looking at a number of men engaged
in hosting n heavy safe into the fifth
story of a large building on Chestnut
street last Saturday afternoon, says the
Philadelphia Press.
After gazing for some time at the
tackle that was being arranged, he ac-
cosled the man who VAS directing the
work and said:
will you let me speak to you a
minute, young man?n
In a few minutes, I'm busy now"
replied the rigger.
But it is important that | should
speak to you at once" persisted the old
fellow.
Very WELL" exclaimed the other.
impatiently. Hold on. Dan. Now,
then, what is it?"
do you think it is safe to attempt
to lower that safe up your way?h in
quired the crank" hesitatingly.
Certainly! know my business"
That's all very well. young man;
but I'm leetle bit older'n you an

"Yes; all rightr' shouted the rigger.
Go ahead. Dan"
But hold on. young man. l have

Yes. But I'm afraid you will let

Il think you arc Il ID old crank"
what! Young NAH"
Stand back, old FOSSIL" shouted the
rigger, 'or We'll drop the axmaravel-
Gus, rs you would call it, on your
head"
You impudent young rascal! You
should know better than to address Il
man old enough to be your father in
that manner. Will You try my way?"
No! That settles it old stick-in the
mud. Get out of the way?n
Hum! Fiddlestcks! Young men
these days know too much for their
breeches anyhow. All right! All right!
You folks had better git far back. That
wild, impudent boy will let that thing
drop as sure us guns are made of iron.
Ii he would only try my way he might
save life and labor. But I've warned
him."
And he retired to the rear to await
developments.

On the Judges Side.

A story is told of well-known Judge
who is noted for his fondness for con-
veying to jnrors in his charges to them
his own opinions with regard to the
merits of the case. 1n one case he
had done so with great plainness. but
to his amazement the jury remained
out for hours without coming to an
agreement. The Judge inquired of the
officer what was the matter. and learn
ed from him that one juror was hold
ing out against the other eleven. He
sent for the jury at once, and, stating
to the jurors that he had plainly inti-
mated how the case ought to be de-
cided, said he understood that one
juror was standing out against the
other eleven. He proceeded to rebuke
the juror sharply. The obstinate
juror was a nervous little man. and rs
soon as the Judge was done he said:
Your Honor. may say a word?"
Yes. SIR said the Indignant Judge:
what have you TO say?'
We'll. what | wanted to say is. am
the only fellow that's on your side. -

SHE WAITED FOR HER GRANDMA.
A Pathetic Little story About the Child
hood of u WeIi-Known Woman.

You remember Emeline Torrey OF
Boston, who established the public
cooking sctIonls in Pittsburg and Mil
waukee and who is now carrying on
the same great work in California?
You know what jolly, merry little
grig she is. S ,e was born in Austria
lia, where she lived until she was 6
wears old. Then her mother died. and
the little girl was sent to relatives in
this country.
Her mothers mother brought her
over, and saw her safely located with
her fathers family in Boston. The
grandmother remained in this country
but three days. and then returned to
Australia.
1t was not thought best to tell
Emeline that the last link between her
and the old life was to be broken. and
when the grandmother came in, cloaked
and bonneted to say good-by the child
imagined that she was merely starting
out for the afternoon. Even that made
her feel lonely, little stranger that she
was in a strange land, so she went to
the window and watched the familiar
form out of sight.
Then it occurred to her that it would
be a good idea to remain there and he
the first TO greet grandma when she
came back. She drew up little rock
ing-chair and waited. Somebody came
in the room with great bunch of
grapes. Half of them Emeline ate;
the rest she held in her hand very
carefully Y, to keep for her grandmother.
The afternoon wore on slowly. it
seemed to her. She sat looking out of
the window and the more she saw of
the unfamiliar faces in the new country
the heavier her little heart grew and
the more she ionged for the face she
knew and loved.
Twilight fell and still she waited
The family supposed she was playing
with the other children. She seemed
to be forgotten.
1t was quite dark when the servant
came in to light the gas and found
her there. The light showed the
patient little figure. bravely keeping
back the tears that threatened to
come. But there was traitorous
break in the baby voice that said to the
maid:
"'Scuse me. Anna, but do you 'spect
gamma pity soon?"-M. Y World

AN EvlDEvcE OF ms INTEGRITY.

The iailer, Levi Jones. one of Hunt
ington's most esteemed, citizens, says
Harrison has been the exemplary pris-
onor ever confined within the county
jail. He has found him absolutely
truthful in every statement, never at
tempting to shield himself from blame.
A month ago there were a dozen des-
perate characters in jail awaiting trans
portation to the penitentin-y. They
formed plot to effect their escape by
falling the jailor with heavy bar, pos.
sessing tn emselves OF the keys, and
rushiugout. Supposing Harrison, with
death doom hanging over him, would
be glad 10 join them, he was informed
of tho plan. Unexpectedly, he demur-
red, and was threatened with dire con-
sequences if he did not join. So far
from being influenced thus, he took the
first opportunity to warn the jailer Of
his danger. Immediately the city po-
lice were called, the prisoners searched.
and astounding evidence discovered OF
tho truth OF Harrison's statements. A
number OF the convcts had secretly
armed themselves for the onslaught,
which was close at hand. They we're
all remapded to their cells. and kept
there until transported 10 Moundsville.
Had Harrison been the heartless MUIR
derer he had been represented to be, he
would hardly have foregone this certain
chance OF escape from death for the sake
OF his friend. the jailer. And now it
seems peculiarly hard that ono who
voluntarily made such fearful sacrifice
in the interest of justice and humanity,
should be dragged out and strangled to
death by the hand OF the law.
There is no one here who does not be-
lieve in his heart, that, under the cir
cumstRnces. imprisonment for life
would be a sufficient expiation OF his
CRIME, terrible as it was.
His past good character, his manli-
ness and honesty in jail, his absolute
truthfulness, so fer as known, combine
to create Nary decided impression
that his account oil the sad affair is ex-
OctIy true.
The scallold is ready FOR its victim,
and all preliminanes have been ar
ranged.
Though terribly broken up by the
governors decision, Harrison says he
knows his sins are forgiven and expects
10 die like n man.
Harrison has selected the hymns for
his last religious service tomorrow. He
says he had intended to Kill himself
and cheat the gallows, but now intends
to meet his death on the scaaold. He
will have no speech TO make. Tho pro.
cession will start for the scene of
execution at Las p. M, and the work
will be done as expeditiously as possi-
Bile.

srRUBRNvlLLE, ONO. Nov 9l.-Twen-
ty-fve kegs of powder exploded almost
simultaneously at Blanche Coal Mine, at
the west end of the CollierS, W. Va,
yard, and the explosion and belching
fame scattered death among the miners
at work. The explosion occurred at
1915, just when them were return
ing from dinner, which was providen-
tisl, for had it occurred ten minutes
later nearly every home at the mines
would have carried Grape. The
accident was caused by the fizzing fuse
carrying FIRE into a miners powder can,
and the flame set fire to other cans
stored there in boxes which were open.
After the explosion the scene at the
mouth OF the mine was heartrending.
Wives and mothers we're there begging
the men to 20 in where death iurked
until the mir was clear. The mine boss
and several others ventured in finally
and brought out the following:
Killed.

Wounded:-
WILLIAM ANDERSON (colored). leg bro

ED Cook icolored), burned about back
and head; will die.
MATTHEW WRIGHT, burned about head
and back.
GEORGE LETTERS, internally injured.
JoIN RAMSEY, burned about head and
arms.
That more were not suffocated is due
to the presence OF mind Of James CLARK
and James Borden, who shut the out
side door Of the shaft, which was blown
of the hinges. The works belong to L.
@. Smith, OF New Cumberland. William
Smith and John McNutt, Of Wellsville,
W. Va. About fifty men are employed
in the mine, which has been in opera
ton since May, 1891. Two men were
injured these a year ago by powder

ROME, Nov. 2l.-Thc pope followed
with the Iiveliest attention the recent
presidential struggle in the United
States. He had special reports concern
ing the progress OF tine campaign and
the result OF the election sent to him.
His holiness has no special sympathy
with either OF the great parties, but his
sympathy with and admiration for the
United States makes him desirous OF
showing all the developments OF the
public spirit and Of all shades OF cur.
rent public opinion on both political
and social questions.
In RdSscGna Nd,iOndle the great politi-
cal review OF Florence, has an article at
tacising the democratic policy of the
pope. The Rdsa9nG asserts, ana gets
angry over it's belief, that this change
in the vatican policy will end in the
election OF an American pope. The ar
ticie is significant, proposing as it does
the interest which tho United States
has in the pope's policy and its devel-
opments towards democratic cathol-
icism.
The vatican is well satisfied with the
results OF the italian elections, because
in the great towns, out OF the total OF
possible voters, only a fifth or fourth.
have gone to the polls This indiffer-
ence OF the electoral body is the best
justification of the pope's tactics, and
proves that without peace being made
with the vatican the political life OF
Italy has become sterile.
The periodic reports current about
the pope having been i'll seem to arise
from two causes:
First, that he is wont to seclude him-
self, in order to work more Mt his ease,
and next that his death is desired by
all those 10 whom his democratic and
republican tendencies are obnoxious.
All rumors that he is ailing should be
held doubtful. At present he enjoys
good health, with freshness OF spirit
'and power work which are simply
astonishing. HIS doctors, his domestic
attendants and others with whom he Is
in daily contact marvel over his vitality,
his alertness OF mind and body.

for q time. When finally he was able
TO make his voice heard he said he
would not reply 10 NJ. Delahaye's alle-
cations, as he believed that tho charges
arose from violent political passions.
The government, however, could not
refuse the demand for an inquiry. II
was in tho interest OF all that light
should be thrown upon the matter.
Tho government had nothing to hide.
The chamber agreed that commit
tee of thirty-three should be appointed
with extraordinary powers to examine
al the charges.
NJ. Delaunay urged that the most
searching investigation be mado as the
responsibility OF the government, the
press, the leading financiors and con-
tractors were involved.
The chamber then, by vote OF 3ll to
244, decided that the investigating COM
mittee should be appointed at to-nor,,
rows sitting By scrntin-De'Liste, and
the chamber adjourned.
After the adjournment OF the cham
Der, there was an animated discussion
in the lobbies. The scenes OF the de-
bate are described as recalling the days
OF Bouiangism in the conduct OF the
deputies and the fiery character Of Dela-
hayes accusation. NJ Delahaye's own
friends blame him for his wholesale
charges, while admitting that he kept
his promise to avoid personalities. The
