Spark That Ignited Old Timbers Near
Coiliery Laid Bare 100000 Tons of
Anthracite.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, Oct. IA find of
100000 tons of anthracite coal is the
astonishing result Of what was feared
might be a disastrous mine fire. This
bonanza strike of the Philadelphia &
Reading Company is worth cool
100000.
Several days ago spark set fire to
some old timber and brush in the sunken
surface above an old working at the
Boston Run colliery. AS men were al
work in the mines close by, IL was
feared that shutdown would occur
on account OF the danger OF gas explo.
sions. The fire had got good headway
before 1t was discovered, but work at
once began to extinguish the stubborn
flames.
To put out the fire effectually it was
necessary to strip the old pillar that had
been ignited. In doing this the miners
were startled when they laid bare bed
of as good anthracite as was ever dug in
Pennsylvania.
The company officials say there are
100000 tons in the bed. All OF IL can be
easily mined and is right on the Phila.
delphia & Readings own lines, SO that
the discovery seems to be worth easily
$1,000,000.

The tendency to twist and corkscrew
the trimming about skirts, to festoon It,
and to have 1t low on one side and high
on the other increases and is leading
the way to the double skirt, the very
ugly "over skirt" of long ago. From
Stimulating a festoon effect, we shall
really do ii presently and loop up an
upper skirt and riot in ugly folds under
which our semblance to human folk and
womankind will disappear. But that is
what fashion busies herself for, first to
get rid of an ugly style and then to get
it back again.
Most wondrous weavos are shown In
silken stuffs. "Waterod silk" that was,
would hardly know itself in the beauti-
full many-lighted moires of to-day.
With the tendency to orDamentation of
skirts comes the use of the more elab.
crate material In the skirt. The elegant
dress pictured has a skirt of silk glace of
strange greenish shade with water
curves in cleaning white. Four tiny
pulls circle the skirt, the top one at
about the knee. The material used is
blue satin, just the right shade of blue

Guipure is being much used, not only
in the piece but in applique. The popu-

accomplished by the use of white or
cream guipure with black satin or silk.
A stylish demi-season gown was of black
satin, the bodice with large puffs from

rows of applique guipure medallions
ornamented the puffs, a full frill OF gui-

covered with it. The round waist Was

closely about the hips, fared at the foot,
and showed three rows Of medallions

The fashionable woman having
modelled her boudoir gown after that OF
the Japanese woman, on the harem
plan and on the Greek, now has an idea
to illuminate her bored fancy, and she
goes IN for a more or less full Indian

1t Is pity that her own country should
so long have been denied the ilattery Of
imitation, but Miladi is going to make
up for all that now. The "Hontasn suit
is Of exquisitely delicate mousquetaire,
mounted on delicate silk. 1t is heavily
embroidered with quilts and beads after
the savage fashion, and is pretty much
all fringe Of the Indian sort, the leather
being cut for it The revolutionary part
OF this get-up Is that after the Russian
blouse affair that the Indian maid has
been pictured as wearing, the rest of
her covering is as closely followed by
mousquetaire leggings.

How can civilized people become
better off except by becoming able to
buy more of the comforts of life with
the rewards Of their toll? leave tho
question for some one of my friends in
his own time to answer. If their money
incomes from labor of all kinds, labor Of
the hands, labor Of the brain, go further
in the purchase of commodities, then
say We have an index, and sure one,
that civilization is not retrograding but
advancing; but yet hear II gravely
argued here by friends of my own
political faith that it is wise statesman
ship to obstruc: this mighty progress, to
throw obstacles under the wheels of the
car of civilization in order that It may
not proceed upon the magnificent path.
way upon which it is proceeding for the
bctterment and blessing of mankind. |
hear them say that we ought to resort
to some legislation that will cheaper
money and raise the prices Of com
modities which are necessary for
the comfort and enjoyment of life
that is, though they may not mean ii,
make it harder for the poor man to feed
his family and clothe his wife and
daughters in the respectable manner in
which he wishes to clothe them, and has
right TO wish to clothe them. / hear
them using the same argument that my
friends on the other side used two years
ago when they said that things were too
cheap, and they proposed distractions
in another way. They said, we will
place barrier on our shores; we will
prevent the commodities, the goods of
the world coming in; we will make
things higher, and we will bring greater
rewards to the manufacturers of this
country. Things are too cheap, said a
President of the United States; it is
not respectable to wear cheap
coat. So, by strange trans
formation, we find the arguments OF
1890 on the other side repeated on this
side of the chamber. l say that no man
can properly interfere with this grand
progress which have so imperfectly
described. You can not interfere with
the operations of economic laws; you
can not by legislation clog the wheels
of this magnificent progress. You may
interfere with it temporarily, you may
run athwart Its passage, but you will
find that your laws will go down, and
the eternal and immutable laws which
govern human intercourse and human
traffic and human business will vindicate
themselves and assert their potency and
sway, notwithstanding the pigmy efforts
which are intended to thwart them

BEST BICroLB RECORD.
Windie Beats Two Minutes, with Flying
Start, at Springfield.


SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Oct. 3.-W. w.
Windle, in contest against time from
a flying start, to-day, broke the worlds
bicyclerecord for the half, three-q uarters
and one mile. The first attempt was
made against the record for the half. In
this trial Sanger and Tyler acted as
PAGERS and the distance was finished in
.56 80, breaking the record previously
held by Tyler, made at Detroit, of .564-5.
Later In the afternoon Windle ap-
peared to do tho mile. In this event he
was paced for the first third by Ohm
stead, Measure and Broadhead on a
triplet, Clark and Arnold on & tandem
for the second third and Sanger for the
last third. The mile was ridden in /. 5s
10, breaking Windle's own record of
2.02 3-5 made by him here October 18th,
1892. In this trial he also broke the
record for the three quarters, doing it in
1.29 3-5, against his own previous record
of 1.3o As, made. October 7th Of last
year.
The time for the quarters was: In
the half mile trial, .27 3-5, sc 3-5; in the
mile trial, 80 1-5, 100 3-6, 1.29 3-5, 1.5e

for the trial and the pacing was almost
faultless.

DR.. @. L. Anderson of Hagerstown,
Nd, communicates paper on "peach
fever" to the Maryland Medical Journal.
The only "peach fever" that we ever
heard of was that which broke out with
the building of the Delaware railroad
nearly forty years ago, and set every
body to planting orchards instead of
corn. One effect of this fever, at its
height, was to set the steady going
native farmers half wild with promises
of wealth to be reaped in the culture Of
the peach and to rush the market value
OF their holdings skyward until the
fever had run its course. II was a very
wholesome variety Of fever in the main,
since while 1t lasted it brought great
deal of money and energy and new life
into the Peninsula. But this is not
the "peach fever of which DIR.
Anderson treats. He defines his va.
riety of peach fever as an ex-
ceptional disease not infrequently seen
in canning and packing houses, and he
recognizes two forms Of the disease: First,
the psychotlc variety, marked by mental
exaltation, ideas Of grandeur, seen in
persons having a lively imaginative
faculty, (query, docs the doctor have in
mind persons whose lively imaginative
faculties have been stimulated by peach
brandy?) secondly, the true peach
fever, caused by contact with the fruit
in the course of Its being picked and
packed for market. This latter variety
Of the disease the doctor defines as "a
morbid condition of the respiratory and
cutaneous surfaces, with some conse-
quent systemic disturbances, due to
irritation from the pubescence of the
skin Of the common peach" WE'LL

The Boston board of aldermen, like
our own Street and Sewer Commission,
has under consideration an ordinance
regulating the use of bicycles on
municipal highways, one of the pro-
posed requirements being that each
wheelman shall carry light or lantern
at night. There is some objection, in
Boston, to this provision, based upon
the notion that horses may be frightened
by the unsteady motion of the light,
which the Boston Herald dismisses as
not well founded; that paper holding
that the use of light as a warning to
pedestrians, particularly in suburban
districts where the streets are poorly
lighted, is one of the most important
features of the proposed ordinance. "If
the members Of the board care to make
a practical test" says the Herald, tive
should advise them to go out upon some
moonless night to Dorchester, Roxbury,
or perhaps to the roads near Chestnut
Hill reservoir, and have a number of
bicyclists ride past them as they walk
around or across the roadway, some
supplied merely with gongs and others
with both gongs and lanterns. We may
add that under ordinary conditions a
gong would only be rung when the
bicyclist believed that some one was
in his immediate vicinity, while the
light would serve as a constant warning
even though the rider might not be
aware Of the near presence of other
persons. But an object lesson such as
we have referred to would, we believe,
convince the members of the board that
the ordinance adopted by the Common
Council was one which could not be
wisely departed from In this particular. -

A Yankee translation.

Some years ago, says the Youths
Companion, q remarkable name ap.
peared on the programme of concert
given by the band of the academy at
West Point. The bandmaster had sent
to the adjutant list of the pieces to be
performed, that copies might be made
from 1t.
The first selection on the programme
was the overture, "Felsenmuhle," the
English of which is "Mill on the Rock. !"
The adjutant, who was downright
Yankee, and had firmly-rooted OBJ
lection to all foreign tongues, made a
"free translation" into English, SO that,
as he said, folks could have some idea
what they were hearing"
The bandmaster's disgust can easily
be imagined when he read as the first
number on the printed programme:
!. Overture: ",rhe Fenced in M ule .
Reissiger.
Undoubtedly the adjutaut thought
everyone present could understand the
general design Of such an overture, even
II unfamiliar with the workings of a
German composers mind.

Mr.. Gladstone, says the New York
EOenfHg Post, has undoubtedly furnished
the keynote of the campaign to the Lib.
erals by his attack on the House of
Lords at Edinburgh. In fact, greater
piece Of luck for the Radicals than the
defeat of the bill by a great muster of
Peers could hardly have been imagined.
It at once enables the Liberal orators,
like Mr.. Gladstone, to establish a resem-
blance in fame and value between the
Home Rule bill and several Of the great
historic measures, such as the Reform
bill, the removal of the paper duties,
and the disestablishment Of the Irish
church, to which the Peers have op-
posed an equally fierce resistance. More
over, by making the resistance of the
Lords campaign issue, he closes the
mouths Of good many Unionists like
Mr.. Chamberlain, whose denunciation
of the House Of Lords in their Radical
days, as enemies of all progress, was
fierce and bitter. In fact, the Liberals
are now heading their campaign leaflets
with some of "Joseph's" choicest vitu-
peration of the Peers. Mr.. Gladstone's
suggestion, too, that if the House Of
Commons should go to the country on
the Home Rule bill, the Peers should go
too, and If defeated do what the House
of Commons would have to do-clear

vein. tits strokes like this which main
tain his hold on the masses and make
him the most formidable Parliamentary
antagonist who has appeared in England
