KGIIy'S Dream.

Recently KELLY the Flour man had q dream and dreamt he died. When he stepped up to the gate, St Peter said, KELLY. you cannot be admitted into Heaven" KELLY asked him why not ? He replied, you are from Yankee state and will give you two guesses; which If you guess I will let you go back again to do penance and if not think you can guess where you will go." At that time KELLY felt like the boy who hung onto the bal loon string when he got up twenty feet. It was death to hang on and death to let go. but he said: Well here goes for my first guess Is it because advertise my charity through the public pressE" St Peter said, No. No. IL was not the motive that you had in view when you advertised your charity, it was the good that it brought to the poor. For example. if a man should donate SlOO to the Relief Bureau and ad- vertise it, people who are ready to assist in such a movement would be induced to add perhaps another hundred. The first do- nator is therefore entitled to more reward then if he gave it in silence, because the other hundred might never have been given. So you see we have no objection to YOU in Heaven because you advertised your charity" Now for the second and last chance. '.It is because did not do nate to the Relief Bureau on Scovill street. according 10 my means ot IfteE an- swered: You are a Yankee at guessing, and now before you return to Waterbury let me give you a little instruction. It makes no difference who runs q town meet ing or how it is conducted if it will assist the poor. and let me show you place that is reserved for those who can, but will not, assist the people in their hour of need. Then peeped through a long narrow tube and if friend Hewitt could only see what did through that tube. he would never sell English walnuts on a town order.

BRISTOL MINE ABANDONED

shaft Sunk 400 Feet but the Extraction
 Found to be Too Expensive.
 Operations at the Bristol copper mine have been suspended by the Bristol Cop per X Silver Mining company, and it is doubtful if any further attempt will be made to get copper from the mine. The vein was discovered some thirty years ago and several companies operated the mine but gave it up after many attempts to get the copper, at an enormous expense to those who were interested.
 The shaft is about 400 feet deep at the present time, and the company has con siderable machinery for mining the cop per. The machines have not separated the copper satisfactorily. however, and it has been decided by the company not to operate the mine.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-General A. J. Warner, the president of the conference of the Bimetallic league, which has been in session here for several days, gave out the following explanatory statement of the actions of the conference
 Tt was unanimously agreed in the con ference, first, that the money question is and will continue to be the paramount issue till it is settled, and settled rightly and on sound principles, and that 1t can be displaced by no other; second, that the first battle is for the next congress; third that to achieve results silver men must not only stay silver men after they reach congress, but they must there unite, and putting silver above party work incessant- ly to accomplish the object for which they were elected"
 A number of delegates were in favor of organizing a new party out and out, with the declaration made on the money ques- tion the sole issue, leaving the way open for the utilization of not only the Peoples party, but of the 6,OOO, 900 who refused to vote at all at the late elections. The con ference was not called for such a purpose, and a majority of the delegates present be ieved the course finally agreed upon to be the better policy in the coming congress SiOnal elections

Work For inc Senate.

For the third week in succession Hawaii promises eo be the important subject before the senate. The president will today com. ply with the requests of both houses o1 congress for copies of all the recent core spondence on the Hawaiian question, and it is considered almost certain that, whatso ever condition of affairs the correspondence and the message accompanying it may re veal, the senate will find in it text for numerous speeches.
 The programme for today in the senate includes the reception of the presidents Hawaiian message and speeches by Sena. tors Hansbrough and Dolph-the former in explanation of the bill for the extermi nation of the Russian thistle and the latter on the subject of the tariff.
 The remainder of the week that is not given up to Hawaii will in all probability be devoted to the consideration of compara- lively unimportant bills on the calendar of which there are a large number.
 Many of the senate committees have been turning out work at rapid rate during the two weeks of the session, and as a con, sequence the calendar is much longer now than it was at the beginning of the session notwithstanding the senate has passed 6 large number of bills for the time it has been in session.
 If the nomination of Judge HornbloweI us JuStlce or the supreme court should Dt reported by the judiciary committee at its meeting today, which is by no means cer tain, there will be an effort to have the nomination confirmed during the week and as there is likelihood of some opposi tion to this confirmation considerable time may be spent in executive session upon this subject. The only measure of national i'm portance upon the calendar in position tC be taken up for final disposition is the fed eral elections bill, and its consideration al this time is barred by stipulation be tween the Republican and Democratic members that it shall rest where it is until after the Christmas holidays. There is 6 desire on the part of senators generally that the Christmas recess shall begin or Thursday of this week, but the house will probably be allowed to name the day. Ii will not be later than Friday.

The statehood Bills.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-There is already considerable interest manifested to know what will be the course of the senate with reference to the territorial bills which are coming from the house of representatives. The senate territorial committee has not held q meeting during the present con gress or since the committee was reorgan- ized by the Democrats, and there has con sequently been no formal expression of opinion on the part of members upon the question of the admission of the new states. Inquiry develops the fact that the committee will probably not take up any of the bills for serious consideration prior to the Christmas holidays. A committee meeting will in all probability be called for some day next week, and it is possible that the matter will be taken up and that there will be general exchange of opin- ions among members of the committee, but as the holidays will be so near then it is safe to say that the entire question will go over until January.
 The prevailing opinion among members of the committee is that the committee will be found to be generally favorable to the bills for admission, but there are almost sure to be some disagreements on minor DOnts

The Kansas Coal Companies Will Ash

Injunction
TO Restrain the. Striking Miners
From Interfering With Their
Business.
Fight at Weir City In Which Many on
Both Sides We're Seriously
Injured.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 22.-The openly
expressed sympathy of the state ad-
ministration for the striking coal
miners and the fear that it will incite
the strikers to lawless acts which will
result in great damage to the mines
has induced the mine operators to
appeal to the federal authorities for
protection. All of the mine companies
doing business in Southeastern Kansas
are incorporated under the laws OF
Missouri and are, consequently, foreign
companies. It is proposed to apply to
the United States court for an injunc.
tion restraining every striker from
trespassing upon the property OF the
mine owners, or from interfering In
any way with men who are at work In
the mines. All of the federal judges
having jurisdiction in Kansas are out

some in Chicago.

pared and despatched in charge of al

!, by the Toledo and Ann Arbor Railroad
company recently. The object of thes'
proceedings 10 to place the strike dis
trict in charge OF United States mar
shals instead of running the risk of en-
trusting it TO state authorities in cas-
of any emergency.
The situation in the mining distric
Is becoming serious, and a bloody con
fiict between strikers and operators i
imminent. The major general OF tn
