Eating In Mexico.

"Your name must in very truth be
put in the pot in Mexico if y u ex.
pect to dine at friends house there,' -
said J. NJ. Dukes Of the City Of Mex
leo, at the Southern to . ST. Louis
Globe. Democrat reporter. "With all
their extravaganza in other ways, the
MexicsBs are the most economical
people On earth in the matter OF their
table accounts. They buy just enough
of everything for each meal and the
purchase is based on the number of
people to eat. For instance, what
would you think of the poorest man in
this country going into . grocery
store and buying one cents worth Of
coffee? And yet you can see the SER
wants Of the richest families in Mexico
do that every day. 1t is the same
way in buying sugar, lard, flour, meat,
spices and so on through the list. l
suppose the M-xicans are forced to
this apparently picsy unish method on
account of the thieving propens,ties
of their servants. Thomas Benton
wasn't far wrong when he declared
Mexico to be . nation of blanketed
thieves. The lower GLASSES arc the
worst pilferers | ever saw. They
will steal any thing in sight from .
cent to a redhot cooking stove; and
for housewife there to attempt to
keep her larder we'll stocked would
he to invite q horde of poems to eat
themselves fat at her expense"

NO amount of legislation can

Unless the production Of silver can be

Legislative control. Under the exist

duct is utilized a. money, and gold
and silver are at par at the present

production of silver has increased
almost continuously from 55,300,O0(
ounces in 1874 to l43 $50, 900 ounce.
in 1891. The larger production, ever
at the decreased price, shows that tn,
cost of mining, smelling and refining
has been reduced sufficiently to in
sure . good profit at ruling prices.

ding occurred at Victoria hall at 8 o'clock
yesterday evening; Lottie Smartwood, a
tiny but pretty midget, became the wife of
Admiral Dot, another little person, who Is
known to thousands of. people who have

The wedding party was composed OF four
dwarfs, who were all as small Us the happy
pair There was Msior Atom, radiant in a
swallow tail, and Miss Sadie Billion, g
pretty little thing of 81 and about thirty
two inches high; Colonel Pueblsr, not
much taller, and Colonel Steere and wife of
Providence The bride embraced the
Hebrew faith few days ago and de-
nounced her Calvanistic Presby terianism.
The bride, who is really pretty thing,
looked much younger than ner husband,
whose somewhat mature face and grey
moustache made him appear quite dignited.
At supper, which followed the ceremony,
one curious guest was the child OF Colonel
Steere and wife of Providence. They are
both dwarfs and their baby il nearly as
large as they are.
Admiral Dot is Is years of age and rather
stout p. L. Barnum put him on the stage
when he was only six years OF age, so that
although young, he is veteran to the
stage. His wife is about feet in height,
while the admiral is not quite SO tall They
have both been travelling with the Lilli-
putians, and the courtship was especially
touching The admiral always escorted
Miss Smartwood to and from the theatre
where they were playing, and finally
popped the question.

Futile Attempt of the Sheriff to Start Train
Ont or Erie, Pa.

ELMIRA, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Great excite
ment prevails at Waverly, N. Y, on ac-
count of the strike of the Lehigh switch
men. A collision between strikers and
switchmen seemed inevitable this morning
over the attempt to run an engine and
caboose out of Erie, Pa, just across the
line. Men surrounded the engine and re-
fused to let them go. Sheriff Powell turned
the switch himself, but it was Immediately
turned by the strikers. The switch was
finally made. but the strikers pulled the
coupling pin between the engine and cars
and made another delay. The sheriff tried
TO arrest some of the men, but they were
Immediately rescued by their comrades.
Superintendent Stephenson and the
sheriff mounted the pilot and could not
keep the men away from the engine.
AT noon the engine had gone about 200
yards and the strikers were in command Of
the situation.
The alterations between the sheriff's
posse and the strikers have been con-
Quoted thus far without any serious re-
suits.
a special Just received from Sayre says
that sixty men were ordered to report to
Superintendent Stephenson this morning
to take the place of the strikers. They re-
ported but refused to go to work.
A union meeting of trainmen was held
this afternoon at Sayre and it was decided
that the trainmen would not do the switch
mems work of Sayre.
The turmoil SD sded this afternoon, the
sheriff admitting his powerlessness, but
more trouble is threatened when he under
takes the promised arrests with larger
force.
One striker, William Jones, was hurt in
one of the melees with the sheriff's force.

Number Of Lives Lost Nearer Eighty Than
Forty-Last Despairing Struggles
OF the Victims.

LONDON, Aug. IA special dispatch to
the Nelus from Helsingfors says that the
captain of the steamer Runneborg which
sank the pleasure steamer Ajax of Hell
singfors early last Monday morning. says
that he ran his vessel on the wrong side of
the Ajax in order to avoid the shallow
water. Hespleads that he had no
option to do otherwise because the
Ajax did not allow his ves-
sci sufficient room. Although the Ajax
was licensed to carry only seventy five per-
sons, she had 10 passengers aboard. The
number of lives lost is nearer eighty
than forty. The light from the moon
as well as from the vessels furnace and
lanterns showed hundreds of heads and
arms in the water struggling to catch
hold of anything that could be found.
The fight of many to throw off those cling
ing around them, the shrieks Of women and
children, all combined to make scene that
would be hard to paint.

bergs, while many more were visible
ahead. The North sailed north with
solid barrier of bergs ranging from seventy
to two hundred feet in height, while the
open water was filled with great quaint
ties of broken ice. At 10 o'clock on the
night of June II the vessel was entirely
surrounded with ice and it was feared she
would be crushed, but fortunately towards
morning the wind changed and enabled her
to clear the bergs. She had many marvel
Gus escapes from destruction. The bergs
formed breakwater fifty miles long, re-
sembling a large volcanic wave. His re-

from other vessels from around Cape Horn
that the ice drift from the Antarctic ocean
this season is unprecedented and that it
has reched the most northerly point ever

NARROW ESCAPE.
The Yacht Vamoose Very Near
Meets the Fate of the AIya.
The Steamer Cottage City Bears Down Upon
Her in Fog, but Collision Was
Miraculousiy Prevented.

Especial TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
PORTLAND, Me-, Aug 15.-W. w. r.
Hearst's yacht. the swift Vamoose. had a
narrow escape from sharing the fate of
William K. Vanderbilt's yacht, the Alva off
Nantucket Shoals, yesterday morning. The
New York and Portland steamer Cottage
City and the racer crossed each others
paths in bank of fog, and for some time
it looked as if all WIGS up with the Va
moose. The Cottage City left Martha's
vineyard at about S o'clock. After steam
ing along half an hour she ran into the fog.
Just before the chilly mist settled down
Concoder, Eldridge L. Gerry's flagship,
the fog came the hoarse shrieks Of several
whistles, conveying warning to the Cot
tage City that peril was before them.
At 1918, when running at quarter
speed, shrill whistle was heard dead
ahead, and in moment the form of the
Vamoose was seen. The pilot of the Va
moose ported his helm, evidently expect
ing the Cottage City to follow suit. In
stead the big steamer held to her course
The distance between the two vessels was
so slight that the Vamoose appeared to be
running straight ncross the Cottage City s
bow. Ii seemed inevitable that she would
be cut in two. That she was not was due
entirely to wanderful speed. Her wheel
was thrown hard aport and all steam
crowded on.
SHE WENT LIKE FLASH
and cleared the Cottage City's cut water
with less than q foot of space to spare.
The occupants of the yacht were panic
stricken as the great form Of the steamer
loomed up over their little craft. while the
frightened throng on the decks of the
Cottage City felt sure that there would be
q collision.
The Cottage City carried 100 passengers.
The Vamoose was returning from Marble
head where she had been doing duty as
press and judges boat during the New
York Yacht club cruise. TIE encounter
occurred directly off Pollock Rip lightship
aud within few hundred feet of the
wreck of the Alva. Captain Bennett Of
the Cottage City declared that the shave
was the closest in his experience. and
blamed the yacht for not keeping on her
course, as with the strong Roadway of his
vessel he could not port quickly enough TO
avoid collision. The Vamoose did not
stop but went ahead. her people hurling
abjugations in answer to the cry of relief
that went up from the Cottage City.
