Fame of Comes Unsought.

Few of the men who enjoy world wide
fame ever set out to win il, and many Of
them did not care n snap OF the finger for
it. Socrates N Plato are famous be-
cause of their wisdom; Alexander and
Caesar because OF their conquests; Isaiah
and Paul because OF their moral suprem-
acy. Buonarotti n Shakespeare and
Dante owe their fame to artistic genius;
Newton to his scientific discoveries;
Bacon to his learning; Washington to
his patriotic services, and Edison to bis
inventions. The famous mon Of the
world have been men who possessed
great powers OF mind, or who performed
great deeds. They did not win fame by
seeking for it. Fame came to them as a
result OF their character or their career

Mother and Daughter Missing.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 2S.-Yester-
day afternoon a carriage containing tw
women stopped in front of the Sterlin
street school. One woman asked to see &
pupil named Carrie Cavagan. The cir
went out and after a few minutes CONVEX
sation entered the carriage and the
women drove away. For years past, the
girl, who is 10 years old, has lived with
Mrs. Michael Bremen on East Mar
street. When Carrie did not return home
from school n search was instituted. Ii
was learned that one OF the women in the
carriage was Mrs. Mary Cavagan, of 2ll
Board street, who is the mother OF Carrie.
Mrs. Bremen claims TO have adopted the
girl, but it Is not known that legal adopt
ion papers have been made out. No trace
of mother or girl can be found. Ii is
thought they have gone to Hartford. Par
ties have gone there in search OF them. II
is thought the girl was forced to go away
by the women in the carriage.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Good Run of Trade I'm Boston-Faiiures
of the Week.

" ~ WYNN
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review says: There has been
some increase in the distribution OF pro-
ducts during the past week, and the de-
mand for manufactured goods is distinct
Iy larger, so that business has %perceptibly
improved at many points. Yet the out
put OF gold expected TO exceed 5000
600 this week, reduces treasury reserves,
causes increased about the
future, and renders people more reluctant
TO engage in the new undertaking.
The liquidation OF some great specula-
tions has set free large amounts, so that
money Is everywhere comparatively easy
and cheap, and nevertheless there is more
sense OF uncertainty about the return
than appeared a month ago.
In most trades nj Boston business Is sat =
isfactory, New England and western or
ders being large, though the movement
OF goods Is hindered by the weather. The
dry goods trade exceeds expectations, cot
tons are strong, print cloths firm, textile
mills and shoe shops worked to their full
capacity, sales OF cotton and of leather
very large at firm prices and rubber goods
quite active. The dry goods trade in all
It's branches Is strong and healthy. The
market for cotton goods is the strongest
known for many years.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the last seven
days, "a reported to II. G.. Dun q Compa-
NY and +. Russell & Company OF the mer-
camille agency, number for the United
State 255, and for Canada 40, a total OF 300,
a compared with 1872 last week, and 30d
the week previous TO the last. For the
corresponding week OF last year the fig
ures were 297 failures in the United States
and IL in Canada.

ANOTHER MINE HORROR
Explosion and Fire in a Coal Mine
in Hungary Yesterday.
$50 MEN WERE IN THE MINE,
And IL Is Not Certain That One OF Them
Believed to be Dead-Work of Rescue

BUDAPEST, Jan. 2S.-An explosion from
n cause still unascertained, took place In
a coal mine at Tokod, near Grau, yester-
day. Fire broke out Immediately after
the explosion and is still burning.
About $50 men were in the mine at the
time OF the explosion. The shaft was not
impaired and the cage was sent down al
most at once. The bodies OF nineteen
men who had been killed by the shock,
we're found near the bottom OF the SHAFT
and were brought up.
The cage went down again, but returned
Immediately, as the smoke was SO dense
hat the rescue party were unable TO re-
main below. Two OF the party were un-
conscious before they reached the top.
About 100 men are still In the mine.
Machinery was taken out from Grau to
partially flood the mine, but as yet there
are no signs that the fire is abating.
The whole population of Tokod Is
around the pits mouth, but no effort has
been made since noon to send down a res
cue party. All the miners are believed 10
be dead. Az the work OF rescue cannot
be attempted for several hours, there is
practically no hope that any OF the men
below will be saved.
