Much to do about nothing that was
the part good many of our young ladies
played about going to the camp meeting
last Sunday. The trains ran and the
meeting went on, but only two of the
ladies went. There will be another
camp meeting at Desplaines next year,
Some young ladies were enjoying
themselves eating peanuts at the hall the
other night during the Sir Knights in
stallation of officers, while one young
man amused the crowd by sitting on the
pea nuts to crack them, the other young
man used his hat to carry out the
pea hulls. Such nut cracker as above
named ard such waste baskets would be
very useful in the country, but in city
like this such things are more funny than
useful and do not add much to the genus

 Four Boston men had little supper at the Quincy house two or three nights ago. Towards midnight the epidemic of retrospection broke out among them, says the Boston Herald
 One told a queer story of an encoun- ter with the mayor of southern city, another gave his strange experience in the far west, and another described 8 funny encounter with senator at 8 western capital.
 The fourth was a foreigner, who came to this country about a dozen or more years ago, engaged in business and has prospered steadily ever since. He said that he could tell story of himself that would beat all the other records. His had been a unique experience, such as no other man had known, and he in- sisted that his friends should come to his house, late as it was, and hear all about it.
 When the midnight journey had been made, and the friends were comfort ably settled with cigars alight, the host said:
 'When I first came to this country I was greenhorn fresh from old Ireland. My first home was with friends at Cam bridge. In one of my walks, before had been here a week, came across a queer, old-fashioned house that inter ested me immensely. l described it to my friends, and found that it was the home of the poet Longfellow. That in- creased my interest, raw lad that was.
 "The next day went again to the queer house, and stood gawkily looking at it and at the old gentleman sitting in the yard. I stared so long that the old gentleman noticed it, and, coming up to the fence, asked me what was looking at. told him that wanted to see the man who lived there, because had read his works in the schools of Ire land.
 ''The old gentleman asked me what I knew about Longfellow's writings, and told him that knew enough of one poem to repeat every word of it.
 "When he heard that he asked me to come into the house and recite it to him. I went in and repeated The Will lage Blacksmith without making mis- take. That pleased my listener, and, putting on his hat, he asked me to walk with him. He said that should have something that many people had asked for and tried in vain to get.
 "He stopped under big tree and said: This is the tree under which that poem you repeated was written. The village smithy was under this tree.'
 ''Then the aged poet marched up, and with his own hands broke off branch of that famous tree and gave it to me. '
 The host went to a chest, and, taking from it a withered relic, said:
 "Gentlemen, here is that branch"

Our old Fire Company.

''That was gay old company that we belonged to, Joe, way back in '69, when you and ran with the machine Do you remember the big fire in Hotel Row, one freezing night, when fifteen people were pulled out of their burning rooms and came down the ladder in their night clothes; and how Dick Greene brought down two kids at once -one in his arms, the other slung to his back? Poor Dick Y He got the catarrh dreadfully, from so much ex- posture and suffered from it for five years or more. We thought once he was going in consumption, sure But finally he heard of Dr Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and tried it and it cured him up as sonnd as flint. I tell you Joe, that catarrh remedy is great thing. It saved as good a man and as brave a fire man as ever trod shoe leather"

ABOUT TEA DRINKING.
One of Mems Delights Is Seeing It Pour,
 Out by Pretty Women.

One of Mems Delights Is Seeing It Poured
 Out by Pretty Women.
 The tea question seems to have 8 great many phases, says the Philadel- phia Record. Articles are written for and against its baneful qualities, and women who preside at five o'clocks are as tenacious of the superiority of the particular sort they offer as they are of the virtues of their family physicians Oolong, Formosa, Orange Pelzoe, and the rest of them all have their zealous advocates One of the best teas is un- doubtedly a choice and mild Eng fish breakfast. This tea has many grades, the best being as delicate and delicious as the poorest is rank and un- desirable. When it comes to the matter of brewing, theories again clash. How much to each cup and to the pot, how long to stand, to stir or not to stir these are some of the rocks upon which the ignorant go to pieces. c. P. Hun- tington, who is considered connoisseur in tea, and who frequently offers cup to business friend in his office, believes in the stirring clause. He ladies out the precious leaves, a teaspoonful to the cup and one to the pot, pours on a very little water, stirs it well, pours on lit tie more water, lets it stand for little less than a minute, then pours off this first decoction, which he asserts is not acceptable to the educated tea palate. After this he fills the measure with wa ter, of course freshly boiled, and in three minutes offers a cup of amber liquid, fragrant, smooth and delicious, to his favored guests. Real tea lovers take it unsugared and uncreamed; few, indeed, nowadays are such vandals as to take the latter trimming" though many still incline to the sweeteninp part As a somewhat romantic young man puts it: Part of the poetry of tea drinking is the fascinating moment when the pretty woman, clad in he1 dainty tea gown, pauses, cup in one hand and tongs daintily poised over il with the other, and, looking up into your face with most engaging expres. sion, murmurs softly: One or two lumpS?'"

THE increase in the price of coal is an indication that the recently formed combination of railroads in New Jersey and Pennsylvania propose to pay the rentals agreed upon and dividends upon stock, not only as was affirmed at the time the consolidation was made public, by reduction in expense, but also by exacting very considerable contribu- tion from the public. These consolida- tions have the power, and they are now preparing to use it. The contracts that have been assumed by Reading railroad corporation provided for the payment through series of years to certain rail- road companies very much higher rate of dividend than it has been possible for these companies to earn when carried on independently. This has given to the shares of the various corporations a market value, speculative or otherwise, which they did not previously possess, and has unquestionably afforded an op- portunity to those who were instru- mental in putting through this deal of making immense amounts of money. But mere manipulating and combina- tion are not sufficient to insure large profits. There was in this case an abso- lute necessity for a larger income, and these profits are now to be derived from the consumers of coal, who are practi- cally forced to pay whatever the com bination sees fit to charge. It is opera tions of this kind, says the Boston Herald, in which the interest of millions are simply played with by few inter- ested and influential individuals, that is doing more to bring about a popular feeling in favor of state socialism than any other means.

THE FLOOR COLLAPSED.
Two Killed and Two Injured in a Big New

 York Building.
 NEW YORK, May 6-By the falling of a section of the cellar floor in the four teen story Havemeyer building now be- ing erected at Cortlandt and Church streets, this city, Albert Zimmer and August Desola were killed, and John Hurley and Otto Pabst were hurt.
 The section of the floor which fell wal 30 feet long by IA wide, supported by six steel beams resting on an iron gir- der. This mass crushed into the cellar where six men were engaged mixing plaster. Trimmer, Desola, Pabst and Hurley were buried in the debris, while the others escaped.
 Pabst and Hurley were carried out more frightened than hurt. One hun dred tons of mixed plaster had been piled on the floor which gave way by order of the contractor, Michael Powers, who is held responsible for the accident, and will be arrested. The damage to the building will not exceed 3,00U.

reOpIo who Lack Salt.

Salt does not enter into the food of the poor Venetians, says letter from Ven ice to the Omaha Bee. They never taste it and the hospital for the scrofulous children at Lido is filled by those who have not had this necessary article in their food. Every evening I have no- ticed poorly dressed woman, accom- panied by two small children, boy and girl, go to point on the river and lean over the edge of the wall and fill a bottle with the salt water. Becoming curious as to the use made of it ap- preached her, with an apology for the question, and asked what she did with the sea water. Turning upon me a sweet, sad face, in which traces of beauty were still visible, she replied that this was the only way she had of giving her children the taste of salt which they required. The tax levied upon this article by the government placed it entirely beyond the reach of the poor.

 Express Crashed Through.
BADLY INJURED.

Terrible Scenes When the Passengers
 Five Cars Hurled from the Structure
 Into the River-HerOic Deeds of Rescue
 By the Engineer and FIremau-NIauy
 Narrow Escapes.
 FoRT MADISON, Iowa, May 6.-The eastbound transcontinental express wreck on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Road, which plunged through tres tie between Revere and Medill early yes- terday morning was much worse than at first reported.
 The bridge had been washed out of line by the rain. The locomotive had crossed and the rear car of the train stood upon the opposite side, when the structure gave way and baggage car, coach, chair car, tourist sleeper and one Pullman car were hurled into the river, thirty-six feet below.
 Seven persons were killed and twenty six wounded. The list of dead is as fol- lows:
 CORNELIUS LUTHER, Kirksville, Mo.
 JOHN c. GROVES, Macon, Mo. O. T. LANMARKEL, Kansas City, Mo.
 s. E. VERKLER, Westport, Mo. WILLIAM HYNEs, Oklahoma City. A woman and child, names unknown. It is not thought that any of the in . jured will die. Among the hurt are Mrs. E. T. Allen and w. A. Allen of Athens, Pa. Mrs. Jane Hosey of River | side. Pa., and J. J. Hurtgen of Reading, Pa
 It was terrible night All had gone well with the express until the pile and trest!e bridge over the Fox River, near Revere, was reached. This bridge was about 175 feet long and 30 feet high. | Two hours before the transcontinental express struck the bridge heavy freight train passed over it in safety, but the heavy rains had swollen the torrent which ragged beneath the rails and car ried the bridge out of line yet left it standing, and, SO far as the engineer on the locomotive could see, all right. ~. l With wheels turning slowly for safety sake the train crawled slowly on the bridge The engine crossed in safety but not the balance of the train, for the bridge went down with it's load, only the engine and rear sleeper remaining on either end of the abutments. Tn c other part of the train was precipitated | into the waters in the ravine below | Five cars, with their load of human freight, and the remains of the bridge sank together in 8 mass of crushed tim bers, torn and twisted iron work and mangled humanity.
 The engineer and fireman from on' side of the stream and the uninjured oc- cupants of the rear sleeper on the oppo- site bank hurried to give what aid was possible to the unfortunates who were battling for life. Men sprang from the | windows of the wrecked cars and fight ing their way through the whirlinq waters, filled with debris, reached tho banks and fell to the ground exhausted

Re5ection oE . vota of Conndonee-rr,r
 Humhertsn rourae in Douht.

Rejection of Q Vote of CsonMdoneo-EkInn
 Humbert'a Course in Doubt.
 Rom, May 0-The fate of the Rudini Cabinet is sealed, the vote of confidence in the Cabinet having been rejected in the Chamber after a warm discussion by a majority of 12 against Rudini and his Ministers Rudini's fall is now irrevoc- able, and any compromise that would permit the Marquis to remain in office is impossible.
 The defeat is wholly on domestic pol icy. The foreign policy of the Kingdom . is not likely to change in the slightest degree, and no fault has been found in this respect with Rudini's course. It is the prevalent conviction that he has not grasped the financial issue as success fully and intelligently as he should have done, and that his recent efforts to i'm. prove the situation have only made il worse.
 It is not considered likely that Signor Crispi will be recalled by King Hum bert, and at present the course of the King is in doubt.

A DASH FOR FREEDOM.
Rochester Prisoners BafEled By the Sherin
 and Q Drawn Revolver.


 and a Drawn Revolver.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 6. - Three prisoners in the jail in Exchange street in this city made bold attempt to escape shortly after midnight, but owing to the promptness with which the jailors and policemen, who were summoned by Il telephone alarm acted, the men were driven back to their cells.
 They drew the jailor to their corridor by making an unusual noise, and, as soon as he entered, they overpowered him, secured his revolver and pushed him into a cell.
 Then they passed out of the corridor, where the leader, named Sherman, was seized by Emmons Chaffee, the Syracuse postage stamp washer, in jail here Sherman struck Chaffee terrific blow on the head with the revolver, knocking him down.
 They were stopped at the head of the stairs by Sheriff Davy, who pointed a pistol at them, and returned to their cells.
