SPOKANE, Oct. l0--A ghastly find was
made to- day in the ruins of the Spokane
mill, burned last spling. Several boys
were set at work this forenoon picking
pieces of charred wood and other relics
about the ruins. Near clump of debris
at the northwest corner of the foundation
they uneartbed what appeared to be the
remains of human beng. Startled at
the discovery they ran away, and at once
notified the police of their find. Officer
Fischer made his way to the spot and
found corroboration of the story related
by the boys. Wedged down between the
sticks of charred timber and the burned
ruins lay the entire skeleton of human
being. The arms were folded, one across
the other, and the bones of the legs were
also crossed.

Dying by Thousands.

Ell PAso, Tex, Oct. Advises from
the interior of Mexico give particulars of
most deplorable state of affairs at To-
luca. The poorer classes are dying every
day by hundreds from starvation and ex-
posure, augmented by an epidemic of
typhoid fever. At Zacatecas 132 deaths
occurred last Sunday. The people are
growing desperate, and in several instan-
ces, notably Mcrelia, attacked the gov
ernment warehouses, overpowered the
guards and carried off corn and other
provisions. Ali crops have been killed
by the unusually early frosts, and greater
suffering among the poor is expected this
winter than last year.

Another Russian Famine.

ODESSA, Oct. 9-There has been no
rain in South Russia for four months, and
most of the agricultural lands has been
baked so hard that attempts to break the
fields result in breaking the plows. Win
ter wheat will be probably total failure,
and repetition of the great famine is
certain. In the northern governments
matters are little better. The last har
vest in the Caucasus amounted to 1885,
100000 pood, and should preserve that
region from trouble. Half of the middle
class proprietors of Bessarabia and Kher-
son have applied for an extension of
credit on mortgage loans. Should this
not be granted the general ruin of the
small agricultural classes would be i'm
minent.

OF n o REMEMBERED.

There is no moment when our dead lose power
U~nsignaled, ~unannounced they visit US.
Who calleth them / know not. Sorrowful,
They haunt reproachfully some venal hour
In days of joy, and when the world Is near.
And for a moment scourge with memories
The money changers of the temple soul.
In the dim space between two CULTS of sleep.
Or in the stiffness of the lonely shore,
They rise for balm or torment, sweet or sad,
And most are mine where, in the kindly woods
Beside childlike joy of summer streams.
The stately sweetness Of the pine hath power
To call tLeir kindred comforting anew.
Use well thy dead. They come to ask Of thee
What thou hast done with all this buried love
The seed of purer life? Or has it fallen unused
In stony ways and brought thy life no gain?
Wilt thou with gladness in another world
Say it has grown to forms of duty done
And ruled thee with a conscience not thine
own?
Another world! How shall we find our deadr
What forceful law shall bring us face to face?
Another world! What ~yearnings there shall
guide?
Will love souls twinned Of love bring neal
again?
And that one common bond of duty held
This living and that dead, when life was their.
Or shall some stronger soul, in life revered,
Bring both to touch, with natures certainty
AS the pure crystal atoms Of its kinds
Draws into fellowship Of 'loveliness?

The Greek Dress for Women.

women who care for their beauty rath
than for style in their attire shou

was arranged formed the very ideal OF

selves appear charming.
That the Greek is really the only mode
of attire suited to the form feminine is
sufficiently attested by the fact that nc
woman of taste wishing a life size statue
Of herself to be made would think OF
arraying herself in any other fashion OF
clothing. How would the bodice, short
vailing style, the full straight skirt OF
the founced petticoat, the tight laced
waist and the peaked shoulders, appear
when chiseled in marble or rendered il
bronze. So far, however, the demand
for classic ideals has been made in vain.
The attempts to revive the beautiful
fashions of the Greek women have beer
desultory and infrequent, and the few
ladies who have tried the experiment
have either been soon tired by the extra
trouble involved and annoyed by the no
tice they excited, OF they have not pos

A Ghost at the Window.

A curious story is told in New Albany.
On the night of Dec. 2 Mrs. Sophia
Scharf, wife of Anton Scharf, died at
her home in East Fifth and Spring
streets, and the funeral took place sew
eral days after. The next Saturday, ii
is alleged, Mrs. Frank Zoeller, a daugh-
ter-in-law of the dead woman, residing
on East Eighth and Sycamore streets,
was surprised to observe a perfect rep,
resentation of the head of her mother
in-law at the window of her house. The
apparition was afterward seen by Mrs.
Peter Weinman, Fritz Weinman, two
daughters of Officer Dennis Gleason and
several others.
After the second visit a perfect picture
of the deceased was left on the window
pane. Several persons, it is claimed, at
tempted to rub it off, but the picture re-
manned until Saturday evening, when
Joseph Scharf, a son of the dead woman,
who had just arrived from the far west,
having been called to his mothers
funeral, passed his handkerchief over it,
when it disappeared. The case is ex-
citing considerable comment in that
part of the city in which it occurred

One of the brightest and busiest news
boys in this teeming town stands on the
north side of Park place, just off Broad

parently not more than twelve or thir-
teen years old. During the year that he
has been selling papers in that particu-
lar locality he has built up a trade that
keeps him busy nearly all of the time.
He is seldom heard to ask a passer by to
buy a paper. A very large proportion
of the men who take papers from him
are his regular customers. His keen eye
discerns them half a block away. He
knows what papers they want and has
them ready as the customer passes.

A Romantic Story from Austria.

Ii Is believed that Influenza is answer

duke Henry and his beloved consort-
which, as announced, are the subject of
widespread grief in Vienna. The arch
duke knew nothing of the death of his
wife. The archduke's only child, Bar
oness Roineria of Waldeck, who had
been deprived of both parents in such a
tragic manner, says that they had a pre-
sentiment Of their fate. The baroness
grief Is heartrending. She is being con
soled by the Duchess of Alencon, sister
of the Empress Elizabeth.
The tragedy is intensified by the TO.
mantle history of the union of the arch,
duke and the opera singer by the sacri,
hces the archduke had to make and by
the exemplary happiness of the pair dur
ing the tweIee three years of their mar
ried life. They were idolized through,
out the Tyrol, and in Vienna the tall
strong figure of the archduke, with his
long white beard and blue eyes, was q
familiar object. He made the acquaint.
nee at Graz of the prima donna of the
theater in that town in the drawing
rooms of the Syrian nobility. He pri
vately engaged himself to her just be.
fore he had to leave for Italy to fight fol-
his country, and the girl in his absence
was offered brides to release him, but
resolutely refused.
At last the pair were married in the
private chapel of the archduke's palace
at Bozen. Large black flags foated
from the four corners of the Vienna
Rathhaus as a mark of sympathy. Boil
bodies lay in state in the archduke's pri
vate chapel till Wednesday night. They
were then conveyed to Bozen for inter
ment in one grave beneath the chapel il

wishes of the archduke. The Vienna
papers express unanimous regret at the
sad occurrence.-Pall Mall Gazette.
