The Real Reason.

People who have absorbed the Cum
berland Ners' fancy that the operators
of this region proposed the 20 per cent.
reduction on account Of the Wilson
bill are invited to weigh the reason
given by the Coal Trade Journal in the
italicised words at the appended para
graph:
The action Of the Seaboard Association was
referred to in our last edition this has
necessitated reduction in tolls, and the
Pennsylvania road is stated to have reduced
10 cents ton to tide and 25 cents a ton to
other points. The other lines not directly
interested i'll mining will probably make
similar public announcement Wages had
already been cut in all other districts except
that Of Maryland, and in the past week the
rate was reduced there TO mc,t the competjtio,,
n other producers to 10 cents ton

BOurke Cochran Creates Sensation in
Speech IN New York.
New York, May 15.-Bourke Cock
ran created sensation by a speech last
night at the opening of the Catholic
educational hospital. He said:
''To declare the Catholic church hos
tile to the republic is to declare a
mother hostile to her offspring" Turn
ing to the archbishop and advancing
with forefinger outstretched, he de-
clared with impassioned eloquence that
he would accept the teaching of the
church from his grace with the utmost
reverence, ''but if the day should ever
come (here Coekran's voice rose until it
echoed through the big hall) when from
the Catholic pulpit you utter one word
hostile to the integrity of this govern
ment, 1 tell you such language would be
heretical, you would he false to the re-
public and false to the church that
placed the consecrated oil upon your
head for the blessing of your children"
A subdued murmur of astonishment ran
through the hall, quickly followed by q
great burst of applause.

deputy marshals arrived in this city
this morning with 19of the common
wealers arrested at Cokeville. Among
the number was General Shreffler, who
is charged with being the commander.
He denied this. He said the cuntin-

Kan, where his folks live. The ''gen-

showed card in local lodge of the

the United States court, stated this af-
ternoon that he would try the men for
contempt of court without any prelim-

that the appropriations will be increased

England, but one better than we have.
We have made great stride and
mapped out navy worthy of this great
country, and if those plans can be car
ried out shall feel that SO far as have
obtained the increase 1 have not lived
in vain.'

Fifty Million Feet of Gas Per Day the
Estimated Output.
TOLEDO, May 15.-The largest gas well
in the Ohio or Indiana fields was drilled
out at Horace farm, west of Bostoria,
today. The lease is owned by the Chi
cago Oil Company, and the well was
started last week, in territory which
was considered worthless. 1t came in at
4 O'Clock this afternoon, and when the
tools were thrown out the workmen had
to run for their lives. The drill-stem
and rope were thrown fully 500 feet.
The well is estimated at $4,000, 600 feet
of gas per day, the largest well on earth.
The gas caught fire, and as result the
wells are blazing in many places. Flames
shot up 100 feet above the tree tops. A
curious feature is that in 100 places
water is spouting through the ground 20
a height of 10 to 20 feet.

OLDEST DOLL IN THE WORLD.
Believed to Date from the Beginning of
the Christian Era.

the Christian Era.
Francella A. Hitchcock, in the
S;.DolIs Dressmaker," tells an interest
ing story of the famous Bambino di
Ara Coeli. 1t is the Oldest doll in the
world, and if tradition is true, almost
as old as the Christian religion, for it
is claimed to have been carved out of
a tree from the Edount of Olives in the
time of the apostles, and to have been
painted by ST. Luke. Be this true or
not, it has been in the Eternal city
many hundreds of years, and is called
the ''Ara Coen Bambino'' (baby), be-
cause the church of that name, one of
the oldest and most interesting in
Rome, is it's home. This church is
built on the site of very ancient
pagan temple, and its nave is formed
of twenty two columns, the spoils of
the ancient buildings, the inscription
on the third on the left proving it to
have been brought over from the pal
ace of the Casars. 1 shall never forget
the first day we visited this vast and
solemnly picturesque edifice. 1t was
just at sunset, and golden shafts of
light illuminated the mosaic floor,
lighted up the richly gilded ceiling
above, and flashed in wondrous bril-
hancy over the Presepio. or manger,
where lay the miraculous Bambino in
swaddling clothes, literally crusted
over with diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
sapphires and other precious stones,
while its neck and wrists were entirely
covered with strings of the purest ORR
entail pearls.

INDIAN. CORoNETS.
They Are the Most Expensive Sort an
American Girl Can Buy.


American Girl Can Buy.
American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting
Indian ones. The case of the recent
suit in which an English woman sues
for divorce from her Hindoo husband,
points a moral. She alleged cruelty
as ground for her suit, and it is
claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who
marry orientals and go home with
them.
As usual thing, the oriental gen.
tleman, pursuing his studies at an
English or American university, is a
picturesque figure. He is likely to be
very clever, and it is taken for granted
that he is a prince at least when he is
at home. He is popular with his fell
lows, and through one of them he
meets and marries a pretty, freely
brought-up girl. Then he takes her
home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the
orientals have many amiable and at
tractive qualities. and they are not
cruel. But if the husband has not cut
himself adrift from the religion and
ties of his childhood his wife must con-
form to a certain extent to the ordinary
life of the native woman. And, mas
much as she will only do this so far as
her love and duty to her husband
oblige her, she will certainly fail to
satisfy her new relatives. and will be
looked on with coldness and suspicion
by them.

A Study of Eyes.

A story is told of the courtship of the
late Sir George Airy, the famous astron-
omer. By reason of his timidity, he
seemed doomed to be bachelor for life.
But fortune favored him and he drifted
into matri1nony in an unexpected way.
An intimate friend remarked to him one
day: "Have you ever observed Miss
-.'s eyes? They have the property of
double refraction." Dear me, that is
very odd," he exclaimed; Il should like
to see that. Do you think might ven
ture to call?'' And call he did. and
begged permission to examine the young
lady's eyes.
The novelty of the situation may have
fascinated him. At any rate he begged
the privilege of a second look at the
eyes in clear light: the problem grew
SO interesting that he at length came to
the conclusion to make it life study.
The boldness born of scientific curiosity
enabled him ultimately to propose. He
was accepted, and the strange courtship
ended in a happy neutrality-suspicious.

lock of hair that has grown to sew

was then only about II inches long.
Since then it has grown constantly

The Decline of Outward Mourning.

The decline Of mourning has been
gradual for several centuries and
seems to keep pace with the growth
of civilization. Men no longer insist
on having all the women folk of
their family slain at their obsequies
as did our forefathers in pre-Chris-
tan times. nor yet do we cut off the
tails of our horses and rend our gar
ments as tokens of grief Even the
church is with us in the matter, and
by order of the pontiff at Rome sew
eral pastorals have been issued in
Italy and other foreign countries pro-
testing against and condemning the
luxurious character of funerals, and
especially against the abuse as re-
CARDS the amount and value of the
flowers. These pastorals have like
wise been taken as text by several
leaders of the Anglican church in
Great Britain and the Lutheran
church in Germany, with the result
that far greater simplicity is being
observed just now in matters per-
tanning to funerals.-New York Trib-
un0.

Old Preventives.

ALT old preventives are being used
in the present raid of influenza, and
some new ones. Faith in the camphor
bag still prevails, and English people,
who, it must be admitted, are peculi-
arly afflicted with the distemper find
practical solace in the Roman fever
safeguard. A three or four grain quinine
capsule is taken at $3.50 in the morning,
followed at once with small cup of black
coffee. A newer agent, said to prevent
efficiently, is to hang damp cloths, upon
which thirty drops of volatile oil of
eucalyptus are sprinkled, in rooms and
Corridors; little should be mixed with
spirits Of wine and used as a spray.
Eucalyptus in minute doses, one drop
on lump Of sugar, is sometimes en-
ployed to ward off scarlet fever where
one has been exposed. It is not, how
ever, regarded as an absolute prophy-
Tactic. It should be used only under the
directions of physician Point of
View in New York Times.

Superstitious Firemen of Company No. Is.
'The fire commissioners could do a
popular thing by changing the name
of Engine company No. 49," said a
member of the paid fire department
last night. ''The men who were
killed at the recent disastrous fire
belonged to Engine company No. 10,
and some of the men look with dread
on that number.
Let them just change the num-
Der. Have no such number in the
department. It is just as easy as
not. The numbers could jump from
IL to IA as properly as the companies
in the army jump from I to K. You
never hear of Company J, do you2
Of course not. That letter is dropped
as matter of expediency, because I
and j look so much alike. So, for
expediency's sake and to relieve some
of the boys from superstitious dread,
No. 10 might be changed into the
next higher number in the list. It
would do no harm and would please
the crew that is tired of carrying the
unlucky number. San Francisco

Where the Boston Hotels Silver Goes.
The fad of collecting spoons for SOU
venirs has ramifcations little dreamed
of by those who toy curiously with the
quaint little products of the silversmith's
art as they sip out of dainty porcelain
the fragrant brew from my lady's tea
ball.
Harvard boys are faddist as well as
their sisters and sweethearts. but they do
not seek the uttermost ends of the earth
for their treasures. The famous and
hospitable hostelries of the neighboring
Hub are where they carry on their dep
relations.
The more thoughtful and honest first
make sure that the obliging waiter does
not have to replace the missing article.
and then they slyly slip fork or spoon
into pocket. and no matter what the
check may amount to the spoony sopho-
more is happy, for he has added an
other to his collection with which to
mystify his fair friends.
This accounts for one who at a little
spread took tea from an Adams House
spoon and salad from fork bearing the
word ''Parker's."
If the student has been industrious,
every individual of party uses silver
from different hostelry.-Boston Her.
