Probably Fatal Accident.

Ernest Schoen, an emploYe at the
Bellaire steel plant, met with an acct
dent Saturday night that will probably
prove fatal. He was at work about the
cupola when a falling brick struck him
on the head, crushing his skull. The
wound was dressed and trepanned, and
he is getting along much better than
expected. His great vitality may pull
him through all right, but the injury is
decidedly serious.

Opera House, last evening, to witness
this rather clever comedy drama,
in which Miss Florence Bindley appears
to advantage in two star parts. The
play was we'll given, and the scenery
was all that could be expected. The
railway feature was especially well done,
aud the incline wreck scene was suffi-
ciently thrilling to satisfy any but a

expert in gems, was in Washington
last week, having just returned
from the famous platinum mines at
Nisjne- Tagilsk, on the eastern from
tier of European Russia, where he
went for the purpose Of procuring
precious stones such as are dug up
in great numbers and of many sorts
from the placer workings. Very
nearly all of the worlds supply Of
that precious metal comes from
this neighborhood, where it is found
in the gravels which have been
washed down during centuries past
from the Ural mountains.
It is procured by scooping out
holes in the ground to the depth OF
about fifteen feet, where ''pay dirt"
| is struck, and then burrowing rat
fashion in all directions. Twenty
nine hundred ear loads of earth
must be washed to yield fifteen
pounds of metallic treasure. In
summer the gravel is stacked up in
great heaps and in winter, when
mining cannot be carried on, the
stuff is washed out in primitive
mills. women doing most Of the

No Rod-Headed Dolls.

During the week Immediately
preceding Christmas" said we'll
known young man who is in the
service of the government at the
Capitol, II went into every store in
Washington where l was likely to
find the article for which | was
searching, but came away disap-
pointed. l wanted for a specisl
purpose red-headed doll, but it
was not to be obtained, and though
I did not find the exact article /
managed to have a great deal of fun
in the search. The girls in some
of the stores got into a perfect litter
when l asked for red headed doll,
and some of them were curious
enough to almost demand my rea-
sons for wanting such an article.
In my eagerness to find the doll |
made several very bad breaks, to
say the least, and l got myself
disliked in several of the stores by
addressing my remarks to young
ladies who had red hair themselves.
I did this, of course, without think
ing. Sometimes Isaved myself by
saying auburn instead of red, but
ali the same the girls knew what |
meant, and they apparently thought
| intended to be fresh and imperti-
nent. Well. to make a long story
short, could not find red-headed
doll in the city, and as | wanted
one badly with which to play my
joke l had to purchase haxen-
haired doll and soak the hair in red
ink. It answered the purpose. As
there are so many red-haired girls
in existence l have been wondering
why the toy-makers have never
put any red-headed dolls on the
market. Washington Post.

Mexican Business Ways.

A friend Of mine representing .
big American implement house,
went to Durango a short time ago
and then started out to solicit trade.
He had lot of samples in Durango
and was prepared to do big busi-
ness. He worked a week and Gid
not get an order. Finally he met .
young man who had lived several
years in Mexico and began to abuse
the country to him.
II know what's the matter with
you," eaid that young man, "you
are in too big a hurry. You talk
ploughs and reapers to them and
you push them too much. Those
are two things you must not do
talk about your business and hurry
the people. If you will put yourself
in my hands for four days I'll sell
something for you"
1t was done, and the two went
together to call on rich implement
dealer. The travelling man every
now and then wanted to talk plows,
but his friend, who acted as inter-
prefer, talked of everything else.
Finally they dined with the old Mex
lean, and over a bottle of cognac
the interpreter casually remarked
that his friend represented an imple-
ment firm and had lot of samples
at Durango. The old man merely
answered that he might go over and
look at them. The implement man
waited three days and would have
gone, but the friend made him wait
the full time. The old merchant
went to Durango the next day, and
after looking around little ordered
six carloads. He hardly seemed to
care what the price was, and the i'm
plement man was sure that he did
not realize how many plows could
be put in a car. He explained, but
the old man simply repeated his
order and drew up check for the
amount on the spot.-Kansas City

"EyeaYrnlns IS At END. "
Pathetic Story Illustrating the Despair
Of Russian Peasants.

A characteristic incident reported
by the correspondent of Nevoye
Vremya illustrates the manner in
which the Russian peasant accepts
his lot when all his efforts to help
himself have failed. The reporter
went to a large village. which con-
tanned a public school and cotton
factory. The peasants there eat
bread made of the goose-foot plant,
but those who are employed at the
factory make their bread ef q mix
ture of bran to one Of rye -four.
Still, there are many there who have
not even that kind of bread to eat.
The reporter entered a hut where
he heard children crying. Every
thing was bare. Two small children
sat on the floor crying. When he
began talking to them little girl
of twelve years came forward. As
soon as she saw the reporter she
she began making the sign of the
cross over herself, as if she had
been an apparition.
Is the master Of the house at
homer" he asked.
"At home. What do you want?"
answered a gruff voice from the top
of the oven.
II want to buy from you piece
of goose-foot bread. | will pay
you WE'LL"
"Who art thou? What kind Of n
man art thou? We have no bread
at all here, neither of goose-foot nor
of anything else," the man said an
grily, looking down from the oven.
"But why do you let your chill
dren cry? Why don't you do some
thing for them?"
IL can do nothing; we must die ;
my woman and l have lain down
since yesterday"
Lain DOWN. Are you sick? The
doctor is in the village to-day"
"No, we are not sick. But we laid
ourselves out, because everything
is at end" the peasant answered.
On further inquiry the reporter
was informed that the poor fellow
had done all he could to procure
bread. He had applied to the author
tiles of his borough, had borrowed
and begged from his fellow-villagers,
and had determined finally that
there was no help for him any more,
and "laid himself OUT to await
death. He begged the reporter to
leave his hut and allow him and
! his wife To die in Deace.

The Fatal Pointer.

No man hangs a criminal in Col.
orado. The condemned man com.
mits suicide without his knowledge,
which result is brought about by a
novel device.
A small space in the floor of the
large execution room is raised about
one-quarter of an inch by means Of
springs. Over this hangs the moose,
which is conducted by a system of
pulleys into the rear room, and is
attached there to a 50O-pound
weight, which is held in place by a
delicate trip lever. On the lever is
suspended a vessel holding fifty-six
pounds Of water.
When a murderer steps under
the moose his weight on the small
platform causes it to sink. In do
ing 80 it presses on a rod, which is
in turn connected with a chain at
tached to a plug in the bottom OF
the water vessel. This starts the
water running, and when the tank
is lightened fifty-six pounds, the
lever is suddenly forced up by a
spring, the weight drops and the
murderer is jerked five feet into
the air.
On the wall in the death chamber
is a white disc about eight inches
in diameter, across which red line
is drawn. A black hand or dial
starts on its journey around the
the disc as soon as the water is re-
leased, so that the witnesses to the
execution in the front room know
the exact second the weight will
drop when the black hand touches
the red mark.
This device has been used in the
Colorado penitentiary ever since
the secret law went into effect, and
in no case has it ever failed to break
the neck of the condemned, who
are launched into the other world
while the chaplain is reading the
service.-Boston Herald.
