TOUGH ON TYPEwRITERs.
All the Pleasures of Thier Vocation
to Be Swept Away.

The typewriter girl has undergone
a metamorphosis. She no longer looks
lovingly into the eyes of her employer
as She rattles off messages of business
to be indited by her. No longer will
her winning ways stir the heart Of the
big man she works for.
All this. in the opinion of the New
York World, is because of the introduce
ton of the photograph into most gem
eral use. A great many of these in
struments are in use, answering the
purpose of an ever-ready and accurate
amanuensis.
The progressive business man, locked
up in the quiet seclusion of his own
room, now says all he has to say in the
receiving horn of a monograph. He
reels off his business letters at a rate
that no shorthand girl could follow.
When he has finished he sends the ma
chine into the room occupied by her,
and she lets the words escape only as
fast as she can catch them and joE
them in cold print with the aid Of her
typewriter.
II think it's real mean," said a dear
little typewriter girl recently. 81 have
worked for Mr.. Blond six months, and
have written every letter that he has
sent out of this office, and yet 1 have
never. had the chance of saying a word
to him or of having the pleasure OF
hearing his own dear voice falling on
nv ears. It's too bad, 1 say, and if
these awful machines are more gen.
orally put into use we girls won't have
half a chance"

Help Allowed When it Could Be of
no Use.

Spring Valley, ILL.,, May 23.-Mine No.
of the Spring Valley Coal company is
now burning worse than ever and the
company will either have to wall their
fire within or else take all the men out,
stop the fans and smother it. 1t will
be months before the mine will be in
shape. The strikers at last have been
persuaded to allow the coal company
to employ men to put out the fire but
the superintendent says the decision
came too late as the fire is now raging
so furiously that few men can get near
it.
About 500 Ladd miners marched into
the city last night headed by a brass
band and held a meeting and decided
to march on Sheffield, Viola and Ke-
vance and bring the men out there.
A committee, however, precedes them
and if they get no satisfaction an army
of probably 1000 will march down there
and Cable and Gilchrist will also be
visited

Pueblo, Colo, May 2S.-Dr. Talmage,
pastor of the Brooklyn tabernacle, is in
the city today. While coming in on the
Missouri Pacific, thirty miles from Pu-
eblo, as the train approached a small
bridge, the engineer saw that it was in
bad condition. 1t was too late to STOP
so he pushed on full steam and crossed
it with rush. The piers had been
washed away leaving only the rails to
hold up the engine. The passing train
practically shook it to pieces, so that
it would be impossible for another to
get over without accident.

a HUMAN PINCUsHION.
Peculiar Result of a Wound Receiv-
ed on the Battlefield.

ed on the Battlenetu.
Another pin has been taken out Of
General Clement A. Evans of Georgia.
Southern people, Georgians particular
ly, have frequently heard the general
referred to as 1.-The pincushion." That
nickname "Shanks," which the news
papers have used, probably belonged
once to some other Evans-certainly
not to this one, his friends say, not
because it is inappropriate, but because
the other is more appropriate. The
general is literally a pinCushion. His
body was once full of pins and for sew
eral years he was greatly annoyed at
intervals by the working OUT of pins,
head foremost, point foremost and all
sorts of ways. Most Of them have been
taken out now. He hopes that they
are all out. He was rather surprised
recently, in fact, to learn from the ia
miliar symptoms that there was still
another one. 1t was fortunately a
straight pin.
The incident that gave the general
his nickname occurred on the battle
field. He held a new paper Of pins in
a breast pocket. In Leading a charge
he was shot off his horse. The bullet
had struck the paper of pins and gone
through his body, carrying a number
of pins half way. Most of them, Of
course, were bent-some like fish hooks.
The general was thought 10 De FATALLY
wounded. He recovered, however, in
time to do more fighting. His con-
valescence was retarded by the pins,
of course. Some of them had been
picked out by the surgeon soon after
the wound was inflicted, others neces-
STATED subsequent operations before
the surrender and others still have
struggled out at discretion. The gen
eral is tall and spare in figure, long
legged enough to suggest the name
''Shanks' to 4 stranger who never
heard the story of the pincushion. He
was a lawyer before the war and has
been a Methodist minister ever since.
He is in no sense a politician, being as
frank and affectionate as a child and
as modest as a woman. He is not an
eloquent preacher nor a deeply learned
one, but is earnest and true in his re-
ligion and is universally popular among
his neighbors and the old soldiers. His
rank in the rebel army was won by the
hardest sort of fighting. He was pro-
NOTED, step by step. after John B. Cor
don. The personal bravery Of the
preacher-candidate made him the idol
of his men.-New York Commercial ADJ
