Two happy girls are Miss Alice Hands
and Miss Mary Cannon, for by their
work are they acknowledged as profess
sional equals of men. Architects Of no
mean ability are they, and much prom
ise IS given them by the acceptance of
their plans for the Florence hospital at
San Francisco, which is now being erect
ed at a cost Of $25 600 Plans for this
building were subjected to examination
by many prominent architects, both Of
New Z ork and other cities.
The hospital is built Of wood in pure
~ colonial style and accommodates 40
patients. It is a private one and under
the care Of the founder, DR.. Florence
SaltonstalL There are two wards, with
is beds each, and ten private rooms. The
operating rooms. with sterilizing and
etherizing rooms opening off, are most
complete as to arrangement and size.

schoolhouses and other buildings. They
are the first women to have work hung

only women belonging to the Sketch

One of the Wealthiest families Of Cliff
ton has just placed in the dining room a
sideboard that is unique in this city. It's
intrinsic worth is great, but its artistic
value and the stamp CT its workers give
to it a merit above dollars. Tt was de-
signed and manufactured by three girls,
sisters and partners IN the only furniture
manufacturing concern in the world
where every item of work Is done by
girls. On Laurel street, in Louisville, is
the shop Of the Swami girls. In 1850
Miss Laura Swami made a cedar chest
with her own hands and sold it for $50.
Hiss Josie, another sister, tried her hand
on a wardrobe, which was sold for $40.
The third sister designed and executed
a six piece suit, which was quickly sold
for $215. The father then fitted up
shop, and the girls went to work. They
prepare work only on orders and seek
only the best trade. No stock is carried,
and no Implications are permitted. The
designs, the construction, the carving,
are all done by the three sisters. Wealthy
families IN nearly all the eastern cities
have their work. and no one can pur-
chase who IS not in society. Secretary
Carlisle and Senator Blackburn, Starin,
the New York boat magnate, and many
others, have specimens in the shape Of
tables, chairs, sideboards, bric-a- brao
stands, hat racks and bed and parlor
suits This sideboard is the first of their
work to appear here, and its cost is said
to have been close to four figures Gin

MINING OF COAL RESUMED
IN THE PITTSBURG DISTRICT.
Unanimous Endorsement of the Column
bus Scale.

The convention OF the coal miners OF the
Pit,sburg district Friday indorsed the action
OF the national and district officers in accept
ing the 69-cent rate, and resumed work
Monday. The vote was 80 TO 81, but II was
made unanimous Immediately afterward.
The remarks OF the delegates indicated that
the disaffection over the terms OF the settle
ment was because OF misunderstanding con-
cerning 1t. When the explanations were
given. the opposition 20 the officers melted.
and II was admitted openly that the settle
ment is better than may be expected.
District Secretary W. II. Warner read the
circular sent to the miners Of all parts Of the
country 10y the officials who signed the agree
ment.
Charles Morgan moved that Il be adopted
"a read. and the officers indorsed. This
brought out a discussion which continued all
afternoon. After several speeches In favor
of adopting the circular, "A delegate from
Madison demanded from some OF the officers
an explanation US TO why the men In that lo-
cality had been left out Of the settlement. No
terms were made for them and others outside
OF the thin vein miners Of the district, and II
they were expected TO go TO work on Monday
they must know at what terms. Rev. Silas
Cole. of Finleyyille vice president OF the dis
trictswa called to the chair, and president
John \. Cairns took the floor to give the ex-
PLANTATION.
He sketchcd the work OF the national and
district officers and organizers. and concluded
10y reading letter from President John
Mcbride to the delegates. The letter states
that for the past three weeks the men have
been kept in line only by the suspense Of the
convention held, ami ths incessant agitation
OF the organizers. II continues:
our funds have been exhausted, and we
are hundreds Of dollars In debt. There was
no money to pay the expenses OF the field
workers. and they have been ordered home.
From all quarters came the cry for mon or
money to keep the strike from breaking. We
could send them neither, and the result was
easily foretold. With one more issue the
United Mine Workers Journal will sus-
pend publication until money comes in. Your
officials have been serving without salary and
have exhausted their private means to keep
the movement alive. Dozens Of our members
are in jail and others have been arrested for
conspiracy, and we have not dollar to de-
fend them.
President McBride's letter stated further
that with thousands Of miners working and
with evidences OF weakness at many points,
the whole DRIFT OF the strike was towards de-
morall2ation and disaster. lie stated that
when the country was prosperous, up to May
]. 1856. miners here worked contentedly for
60 cents per ton. Now, with business prostrat-
ed. they have gained an advance from to 16
cents per ton since the suspension.
At theconclusion Of the reading the vote
wa. taken.

VINO had taken six grains Of morphine
with suicidal intent. He found the
patient in bad way, with cultural
and jerky breathing, a blue face and a
circulation barely perceptibly. He at
once administered fifteen grains OF
permanganate hypodermically, but no
apparant effect followed. Another
physician being called in consultation,
nitro-slycerine and strychuine were
administered, but with no decisive re.
suits. The doctor then resolved to try
oxygen gas, and procuring a five and

worked like charm, and in few
