The State Camp Concludes its Business at
Chester,
The state camp, Patriotic Order Sons of
America, ended its convention at Chester
yesterday A grand parade, in which 1000
members of the order participated was held
last evening.
There was hot fight to fix the next place
for the convention, Wilkes. Barre, Eric, Al.
toona, Emporium, Manayunk and Allentown
being mentioned. Erie was finally decided
upon for the fourth Tuesday in August, 1894.
According to the change made at yester.
days session, each camp will only be allowed
one delegate for every 100. Camps not having
a membership of 100 will be entitled to one
delegate. Another important change made
was that the Recording Secretaries of subor-
dinate camps will not hereafter be required to
give an itemized statement of the camp prop
erty, but will make their report as whole.
The report of the Committee on Appropria.
tions, of which x.State President Spiese was
Chairman provided for the curtailing of the
appropriations, which means great saving to
the order and met the views of the entire
convention. The matter of leaving the $4,000
of the state camps money in the bank with
out drawing interest caused considerable dis
cussion, but it was finally decided to have the
trustees put it out at interest After the con-
vention had fixed the per capita tax at 1C
cents per member, Brother Badger tried tc
get cents extra added for organization pur.

ton.

dent of Girardville, and having wife and
four small children dependent on him for
support. He was taken to the Pottsville jail
yesterday.
Evans has not been working much for some
time past and he had become indebted to his
landlord for eight months rent. The latter
had given notice that the remises would
have to be vacated yesterday, and it is sup
posed that the threatened eviction temporar-
lily unbalanced his mind.
At about half past eleven o'clock Wednes'
day night Evans left his house after his wife
and children had gone to bed and a short
time after there was tremendous explosion
in front of the house. The report was a
frghtful one and it startled the people in all
parts of the town. Evans had exploded a
quantity of dynamite on the front porch of
his home and then hurried to the mountain.
Fortunately some members of the volunteer
hose company happened to be on the streets
at the time and it did not take them long to
locate the scene of trouble and get to it. When
they arrived they found the front part of the
house had been badly shattered and was be-
ginning to burn. The screams of the unfor-
tunate wife and her children were heard in
side. The fremeu effected an entrance and
rescued the family. Mrs, Evans and the
| children were almost sutiocated
After rescuing the family the fremen
turned their attention to the flames and they
succeeded in saving the building.
One of the fremen tells pathetic story.
As he entered a room the three-year-old boy
was attacked by renewed fright by the
appearance Of the man and crouching in a
corner of its crib cried, 80, pop, don't beat
me p The fireman gently picked the
frightened child up and hurried with it to a
place of safety.
Several men started on a hunt for Evans
and carefully searched all the surrounding
hills but did not get trace of him until
yesterday morning, when he was caught by
constable while trying to sneak back to the
house. Evans was committed without bail.

avoiding milk and the compounds thereof,

Tnhappy Rich Maiuens.

Worse off than the match girls or even
the omnibus men of London are the I'M
married daughters of the rich people living
in the London suburbs Without IA voca-
ton in life, devoid of aim or object in exist
ence, there are no greater sufferers than the
daughters of the middle class, who are too
well of to work, too idle to excel i'll art or
in music and too selfish TO take in hand the
welfare of their poorer fellow subjects, and
to share with them the good things they
enjoy in supertluity.
The excess of women over men in London
is remarkable for the fact that whereas the
husbands and the brothers work many il
not most of the young women are idle.
Many Of them can never be married and
have therefore no hope of escape from the
vegetable lives they lead.
The type of elderly young women whose
fathers are well to do, and who are unwill-

that divides them from the realities and the
rationalitles of life, are often most miser
ably unhappy.-Mrs Arnold White.
