THEY MET ON FIFTH AVENUE.
4 Glad Embrace Followed and Gave
 Hint of Hidden Romance.

Glad Embrace Followed and Gave n
 Hint of Hidden Romance.
 Pedestrians who were passing St. Pat rick's cathedral on Fifth avenue the other day at about 2 o'clock in the after noon were treated to a curious sight Coming up the avenue was handsome woman of about 25. She Was elegantly dressed and bore herself with manner and q carriage which were eminently aristocratic. She was walking slowly, as though out for an afternoon airing. looking carelessly at the carriages which were passing along the avenue.
 Going down town on the same block and at the same time was man of mid dle age. He, too, was dressed faultleSs- ly. He wore a silk hat and Overcoat of the latest cut. His trousers were prop erly creased, and ill his buttonhole was q small boutonniere of lilies of the val ley. In his hand he carried a neat cane. which he swung as he walked. He looked contented with the world and with him self and as though he had not care but to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and he luxury of a leisurely stroll. As they ap- preached each other. this lady and the gentleman, they arrived just opposite the main entrance to the cathedral
 Suddenly they caught sight of each other, and an instantaneous change came. The lady stopped short in her walk and exclaimed, "Theo." She dropped the small silk umbrella she had been carry ing, stretched forth her arms and sprang. rather than walked, straight into the arms of the man. He. while he did not exclaim, acted in a manner indicating more emotion than surprise. He dropped his cane and folded the woman to his breast with an ardor that showed more than gladness at the meeting. The pair stopped for a moment in view of the peo- pie, who were observing them. He picked up his cane and her umbrella, and to- gether they both disappeared around the corner into Fiftieth street.
 Who were they: Brother and sister united after years of separation: Their joy at meeting seemed too warm for that. Lovers separated in their youth and met again after many years: Who can tell? It might have been. But they disappeared around the corner, and they carried their secret with them. And the still lingering pedestrians felt somehow that they had come into contact with something holy and walked again on their way with glad feeling it was as diff cult to define as it was to tell whence and why it Came.-New York Press.

GOV. MATTHEWS CRANK.
Man Arrested Who Has Also Annoyed the
 President.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. l1.-Recently Gov ernOr Matthews has received numerous letters from n White county man who signed himself Hiram Collins and con- veyed by his threats that he was a crank of a bad variety. \ few days ago a letter reached the governor from Collins which was full of vile language, in which he Col lins) asked for relief. He stated that he was not Booth or a Guiteau, but that he would raise h." if something was not done in his behalf. The governor then de cided to head Collins off and began an in vestigation.
 It was learned that Collins was a crank of n dangerous disposition, who had also been writing letters of like character to President Cleveland.
 He had endeavored to buy pistol, but the merchants refused to sell him one. It was feared that the idea to call on the gov ernor in person might creep into his head. Proceedings were instituted by the authori- ties Of White county, and the governor was notified that Collins had been taken into custody at Logansport

Hayes had been carried away by his en unity to the general master workman to the extent of deliberately falsifying the accounts so as to mislead the delegates.

 Mir. Devlin continued in the same strain, reviewing the circumstances attending the Knights assistance to the CPur q 'Alene and Homestead strikers. and he said that, even if all the money collected had not been sent them, the balance was simply held as a loan to the organization, to be used hereafter as a part of the strike fund.
 At the morning session resolutions, whose chief features were as follows, were referred to appropriate subcommttecs. Recommending political action by mem bers in the interest of organized labor; ad, vocating he restriction of immigration SO as to shut out undesirable persons; that the saloon clause of the constitution which prohibits saloon keepers from becoming members of the order be modified so that barkeepers may be admit ted under certain conditions; concerning the relations of the order with several estab- lshments upon which boycutt~ have been

 When the assembly adjourned i'll the evening, the delegates were as noncommit tai as on previous days. The scene in the hotel corridors was not so animated as usual, the delegates as a rule seeking the seclusiOn of the upper floors or privacy of committee rooms. Members of the eNecu- tive board gathered in Congressman Davis room, where they were clOsetcd an hour.

The Iron Industry of Maryland.

The bog iron industry has lived and languished in the fiat, sandy, far south ern counties of the eastern shore of Mary land for perhaps a century, though there never was time when it was especially profitable. Now and again, however, some native with money to spare is tempted by the tradition of iron in the swampy lowlands, and he undertakes the task of extracting it.

 den of Governor Morris proclamation, The terrible financial cyclone which has visited half the world is making broad sweep through Waterbury, and many of our good people are firmly within its grasp. That something must be done and don" quickly is the conclusion that every "h- serving man has come to. Waterbury has always been justly ploud of its own pros perity and with good reason. Nothing less than world wide cyclone could have in jured her industries. But some of us are more fortunate than others, and it is to this class We direct our appeal. Many of us have abundant reason to be thankful, and this is Thanksgiving time. WE WANT THE WHOLE PEOPLE TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT THERE Is GREAT WANT AND SUFFERING RIGHT HERE IN OUR MIDST, and We want our churches to sound the alarm. There are many respectable people here who will not and cannot ask for alms. The clergymen are most likely to know them. To them they confde the terrible secret. Now, while the city is considering the advisability of making appropriations to relieve the unemployed, We must make due allowances for its senatorial like long windedness. We must have something for immediate relief. The coal dealer will not trust. The grocer, the butcher, the baker, etc have done their share of it. Thcrr are plenty of representative citizens who will take hold of it. The first thing that sug- sests itself is su FAIR ON A HUGE SCALE. Let the board of trade takc hold of it. Let them be the moving spirit. The Water bury Furniture company will be glad to do it's full share. Every merchant in the city will help ont although they are already over taxed. The doctors who are already giving many visits for nothing will help to make the fair d success. We will give the law
