Miss Nelson's Vow.

! FRANKLIN Town, Pa, June 3d.
IT want my wedding dress to be my
shroud," said Miss Elvina Nelson,
thirty years 30 last Tuesdy night, as
she removed the gown and took to her
bed. She was to have been married
that evening to Willis Rogers, a we'll
to.do young farmer Of an adjoining
town. The bride-expectant's home
was crowded with wedding guests, but
the hour of the ceremony came and
passed without bringing the bride
groom. At midnight his dead body
was found by the roadside, not far
from the Nelson residence. He had
been thrown from his horse on the way
to his wedding and killed.
Miss Nelson lay for weeks at the
point of death, but in time recovered.
She was then 16 years old, and she
made vow that she would never
marry. She kept her vow against the
offers of many Of the best young men
of the neighborhood for thirty years.
A few weeks ago George W. Cham
bers, wealthy farmer of Beaver
County, began paying Miss Nelson
attention, and succeeded in inducing
her to revoke the VOW she had made
and kept SO sacredly. They were mar
ried on Monday evening, the bride
wearing the gown that thirty years
before She had believed would be her
shrotd.

Fatal Fire at the Fair.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 1O.-Fire was
discovered in the lower floor Of the
big cold storage warehouse near the
Sixty-fourth street entrance of the
Worlds Fair at 1.50 p. m. While a
large number Of fremen were on the
dome Of the building the flames burst
out below them and they were forced
to Jump to the roof below, distance
of about one hundred feet. A few
minutes later the tower fell upon the
roof, crushing it in and carrying into
the burning building large number
Of Rremen, dead and alive. Among
those carried down with the tower
were some who had come upon the
roof to help their companions who
had fallen or jumped from the dome.
this all happened in sight Of twenty
or thirty thousand visitors to the fair.
The excitement among them was indie.
scribable. No accurate estimate OF
the loss of life or money is as yet pos
sible. Wildly exaggerated stories OF
the extent of the loss have gone abroad.
Fire Marshal Murray reports fourteen
fremen killed, that two or three paint
ers at work in the tower could not
possibly have escaped and that several
Columbian guards who Joined in the
effort to extinguish the fire at its first
appearance lost their lives. The
financial loss will probably exceed half
a million dollars. The cold storage
warehouse was destroyed. Its dimen-
siuns were 230 by 255 feet. 1t had q

ADVICE to Pretty Girls.

Here is some good advice for our
charming eldest daughter. If | we're
you, my dear
I wouldn't turn my head to look at
ter fine dresses or impertinent men.
I wouldn't forget to sew the braid
around the bottom Of my skirt or the
button on my shoe.
I wouldn't conclude that every man
who said something pleasant to me
had fallen in love with me.
I would not, when I could only have
one dress, choose conspicuous one.
would not, because I was tired and
nervous, give snappy, ill-natured re-
plies to questions asked me by those
who really cared for me.
Iwould not permit any girl friend
to.complain to me Of her mother; tits
like listening to blasphemy.
I would not tell my private affairs
to my most intimate girl friend.
I would not grow weary in well-do-
ing-indeed, I would keep on encour-
aging myself by trying to live up to
my ideal of woman and the very
fact of my trying so hard would make
me achieve that which | wished.

He Loved his Country.

I recall one which struck me as
amusing, and I have since heard Major
Brodhead, Of happy memory, get 1T on
at Grand Army encampments with
great JUNCTION. The story goes that a
patriot private was doing picket duty
on the Rappahannock that terribly
cold winter when Burnside lay along
Falmouth keeping watch Of Lee on the
Fredericksburg side. It was one OF
those mean winters, when it would
freeze for three days and thaw the
balance of the week, and it was colder
when it was thawing than when there
was an honest freeze. The night was
bitter cold, and as the picket walked
his beat, he dropped into soliloquly.
When soldier hadn't anybody else
to talk to, he found comfort in talking
to himself, and this particular soldier
ran on in this style:
eyes, 1 love my country, but just
look at those shoes nice protectlon
they are for such night as this. But
STRENGTHENING himself up and grasplng
his his musket more firmly I love my
country but look at this shoddy over
coat and these pants. Fine layout
this for a grateful government. But
| love my country but if I ever get
out Of this scrape, I'll be id it |
ever love another country. '-Btae and

To Graft Human Arms.

Theodore Lee, the armless news
dealer of Tacoma, Wash, who went
east recently with vague idea that he
could get arms grated onto his stumps,
has been heard from. He has been
inquiring among specialists regarding
his case and finds that he may yet Sc
cure arms. The arms that are to be
grated must be taken from healthy
person, and the hope is held out to Mr..
Lee that he may find someone, con-
demhed to be hanged, for instance,
who would for 81, 900, say, to be Civ
en- to relatives or charity, allow an
arm to be amputated for grating pur-
poses. AS to the method of grating
an arm, Mr.. Lee has been informed
that the splice would have to be made
just above the elbow joint, where there
are practically only two muscles, one
main artery and only one nerve. When
Mr.. Lee has found a person who will
submit to the operation, they will
have to be brought together in such
position as to permit Of the arms OF
both, which are to be operated upon,
being placed in plaster casts, so that
they cannot be moved. Then it is
proposed to cut the back part of both
arms, also cutting through the bone.
The arm that is grated to Mr.. Lees
stump, Or that portion of it that is cut
away at the first operation, is to be
adjutsed and fastened to the stump un.
til it heals, and there is evidence OF
circulation between the stump and the
part that is grated on. The second
operation will be the cutting Of the
remainder Of the inside portion Of the
arm, together with the artery and the
nerve. This operation, however, is
not to be undertaken until the sur
geons are satisfied that the circulation
through the part Of the arm grated on
is sufficient to nourish and support
the new forearm. This would be as
certained by placing ligament ON
the arm of the person who was con-
tributing the new member above the
elbow and shulling off the blood which
was flowing through the artery into
his own arm through that portion that
was not already cut of. f.-Chacago 4T1b'

Mckinley & Kelly Take Inventory To-Day.

After lapse of thirty years Mckinley
and Kelly to-day give an account of their
stewardship. On July 1, 1851, the demo
cratic party left in the United States
Treasurery $245, S91. 5S, and had added one
million dollars to the national debt. At
this time the cost of living and the wages
paid was as follows From the figures of
John Trott the average price of flour was
8. 90 barrel to-day's price for the same
grade of flour 4.25 bread was IL cents a
loaf sugar II cents per pound-to day
Al cents wages, boss bakers, O.OO-to-
day Is. 90 ; coal, S.75 a ton-to-day, 6.75.
The number of hands employed at the
Scovill Manufacturing company in 1861
was 1913 to-day 1850. The wages paid
weekly were to rollers, 1880 to lS:00
die sinkers, IS 90; casters, 1880 bur
10 90 to IL. 90 rolling mill help, 800 to
700 women, girls and boys, 8, so to 400
2e button-shop men, 500 to 600 :; other
help from 700 to 1000. To-day the
ScoyiIl Manufacturing company are en-
ploylng ,O57 more hands than in 1861,
and the wages paid are probably oo per-
cent. better. oooo
day $4,000. The grand list to-day Is more
than ten times as great as In 1851: Ihese
figures show that If the rest of this coun-
try has grown in wealth and prosperity In
the same proportion as Waterbury, then
Mckinley and Kelly have been good and
faithful servants, as it is under their adj
ministration that all these benefits come.
And to-day they hand the keys OF this
great nation over to CLEVELAND and
MORTALITY and If they can make our
hours of labor shorter, our wages greater,
and flour and eggs cheaper, we shall hear
the people from Maine to California, in
place of shouting for Harrison and hard
cider, Murray for Moriarty and his folding
bed.

Another Batch of Sidewalk Victims in
Court This Morning.
Judge Charles G. Root presided in the
police court this morning for the first
time. He at once sprang into favor
with the newspaper men by his clear
and concise decisions. The only pris-
oners present were those who were
charged with not keeping their side
walks in proper condition.
f. @. Lewis was the first victim. His
Cooke street property was neglected and
it cost him So and costs.
Charles Ney, 203 Cooke street, got a
similar fine.
D. H. Meloy, A Linden street, has a
walk seven feet in width and five feet
of the same was clean. He was found
not guilty.
B. Gallagher, 90 and 81 Farm street,
said he had only three feet of his walk
cleaned. He paid 50 and costs.
Patrick Thompson owns property on
South Leonard street and his trip to
Ireland made him forget all about snow.
1t cost him 50 and costs for his forgetful-
ness.
John McElligott, William J. Schlegel
and DIR Anderson, each settled case.
Judge Root in passing sentence
caused each convicted person to stand
up and then said: "The sentence of the
court Is that you are guilty and you
shall pay a fine of 50 and costs or be
committed to the town house until
paid" Even the judge himself had to
smile as E. G. Lewis stood up to take his
medicine. All settled their cases.
