buO WOuuou bbhlu those awful months" !" Then we crossed over and went down into the cellar of the residency. With shudder of hor- TOT indescribable entered the cellars where 622 women and children had been crowded until the whole floor was full. I know the exact number, for counted their names on the roll As one of the ladies wrote in her diary-speaking of these women she said, '"They lay upon the floor fitting into each other like bits in puzzle" Wives had obtained from their husbands the promise that the hus- bands would shoot them rather than let them fall into the hands of these desper- adoes. The women within the resi- dency were kept on the smallest allow ance that would maintain life. No op- portunity of privacy. The death angel and the birth angel touched wings as they passed. Flies, mosquitoes vermin in full possession of the place, and these women in momentary expectation that the enraged savages would rush upon them, in violence of which club and sword and torch and throat cutting would be the milder forms
 Our escort told us again and again of the bravery of these women. They did not despair. They encouraged the sol diery. They waited on the wounded and dying in the hospital. They gave up their stockings for holders of the grape shot They solaced each other when their children died. When husband or father fell, such prayers of sympathy were offered as only women can offer. They endured without complaint They prepared their own children for burial. They were inspiration for the men who stood at their posts fighting till they dropped.
 The Guns of Relief
 Our escort told us that again and again news had come that Havelock and Outram were on the way to fetch these besieged ones out of their wretchedness. They had received letter from Havelock rolled up in quill and carried in the mouth of disguised messenger, letter

CHICAGO CHANCE.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The wheat market as- serted itself today, and for the first time in number of days influenced corn instead of be- ing infenced by the coarser grain At the be- ginning of trading whea, was f1rmer. The de- mand. however. was local and soon satified and prices eased of, the market degenerating into a scalping deal. Towards the close, on good scattering buying and rather light offer the top for the day December wheat opened at 56Ac, sold to 56I2 and 55ssc, closing at 56Ac, Aassc higher than Saturday. Cash wheat was steady and prices unchanged
 Corn started trmer on the reports of frosts in the west and on lighter receipts than ex- pected. Trading, however, was very light, outside orders being conspicuously scarce, and the market almost immediately became heavy and dull. The market rallied in sympa- thy with the advancein wheat on the posting of the visible supply, and the local crowd who have been selling corn freely during the past result of an advance in prices, the market

The luss, however, except in the case of the Northwestern, was merely fractional Chi cago Gas at one time displayed great strength rising to 72 but later receded to TO. The heavy for the Industrials Net changes in the railway list show losses of l 10 IA per cent, Northwestern leading.

an expression ut this time with refer

There was a time in the history Of
Pennsylvania RVpublieaniSm when
such q travesty on argument might
have been eficaeious, That time has
passed. The people today recognize
nothing sacred in the personality Of a

to know how these senatorial oandi-

Although they made a spirited bat

have contributed not 6 little in point

The work of the principal, George

previously sustained during his ten
years career as a public institute con-

histwelvs enthusi pstic assistants in the

evinced recognition of the fact by plsc-

With a start so advantageous, it ia
