 Great World of the Poor.

Mrs. Ballington Booth Describes the
 Great World of the Poor.
 By those unacquainted with the poor it is not understood that there are as many different classes and grades among them as among the rich. Those who live with and study the multitudes have learned that they also have their feelings and prejudices, and ideas of caste, that make them live in so many little circles in the great underworld of poverty and misfortune. There are, for instance. the respectable honest poor, who work when they can, and through hard toll and thrift manage to keep their self-respect. and to a sur prising extent fight the wolf from the door except in the hardest seasons. when many of them would rather starve than beg. Then we find class made up of the more unfortunate, who are constantly feeling the pinch of dire distress. who work occasionally, and whose homes become one or two rooms in tenement of the poorest character, from which they constantly have to go for shelter into the many low lodging houses. By day they wander the streets. during their non-worklng hours. Again there is the lower class that knows no. home. the members of which herd together in the greatest squalor, and live the hand-to-month ex- istence of hopeless drifting life, where work is not sought. finding the means of . drunken existence from H.

There Were Few Features of Interest in the Speculation.
 New York. Dec. 24.-Speculation at the stock exchange to-day showed few features of interest, Lackawanna, Read ing, Dlstillers and General Electric be- ing strong for time. Atchison, Cor dage and Bay State Gas were weak. Reading advanced a point to 16 on the announcement from Philadelphia that the finance committee had sufficient stock to elect MT. Harris president. General Electric was strengthened at one time by the denials of the reports that the company was in poor shape and that the Hood-Wright was selling the stock.
 The proposed opposition to the in- slders' plan for the reorganization of the Distilling company stimulated the upward movement in that stock. Lack awanna sold up to 1922 on an attempt to cover by an old short interest. Att chlson fell to 4 on reports that the as- sessment on the stock will be heavy. There were further liquidations in Cord age which declined to 61a for the con- mon, 11% for the preferred and 20 for the guaranteed, a decline of A@2h per cent. Bay State Gas dropped 25s to 17% on Boston selling. Southern Rail- way issues were not influenced by the reports that the securities of the com pany had been listed in London. New York Central was lower on, vague ru- mors of reduction in the dividend rate. The directors, it is thought, will meet on Tuesday next.
 Variations in the other prominent stocks call for no special mention. Sugar was only moderately active at S9@S9%, and Chicago Gas was quiet. Speculation closed steady. Net changes show losses of A to 9s per cent. Lacka- wanna rose 1%, Distillers A, General Electric, Reading A and Rubber h per cent.
 The bond market was quiet and weak CT. Sales were $S70,0O0.

UP-To-DATE MINING METHODS.

They Have Opened New Gold Ers for
 the Pacific Coast. From the Argonautl
 The golden lining to the silver clouds that hung over this country a year ago is just becoming apparent. When this government oeased its purchases of silver, and the hints of India were closed to the white metal. the financial outlook was dark indeed. But out of evil good often comes and. whatever other effect these measures may have had, they have resulted ,benefcially in causing gre&tly increased activity in gold mining. Never before in the his- tory of this state have the prospects been go frttering. The spectacular ef- feet that accompanied earlier mining excitements is wanting, but there Is in its place an element of greater stabili- ty and persnanbnce. The romantic eras fD'

Crossed in Love. From Harper's BaZar.1

lFrOln narperb D bdZdr.l
 Probably nothing more wholly, more exclusively concerns the persons enter ing into it than theIr marriage. And yet, as a rule, all their associates and most of their acquaintances seem to feel as much interest in 1t as them selves, and talk far more about it. Their knowledge of the engagement, and how it was brought about, with ev- Yy minor detail, appears very much greater than the knowledge of the cou- pie immediately involved. -',
 The fact is that marriage, generally and particularly. is 8 subject of ex- treme interest to young people every where, especially to young women, and in all, ranks of society..1t ifs not strange, therefore, that it should fur nfsh endless gossip and criticism, though these may be excessive, and are often mischievous. Many mortals may be in no wise attractive, but when they are on the eve of marriage they become attractive by that circumstance alone
 The regard, the reverence, felt for wedlock is a proof of civilization. Eve ry truly enlightened person believes in 1t as an institution, as essential to the well-being of the state, whether he ac- cepts or declines it on his own account. The opinion in America is so over- whelmingly in it's favor that there is apt to. be a. prejudice, in minor towns especially, against any man who perse- veres in bachelorhood. He is generally believed to have neglected one of his plainest duties, and to be in some way responsible to the public for his neg lect. But under this belief shoulders a ha1f-formed conviction, notably among women, that he is not directly answerable for his celibacy.
 Indeed, the sentimental world is, so entirely promatrimonial as to hold that the unwedded have been unlucky in their wooing. They have been disap- pointed in their suit, or, as the com mon phrase is, have been crossed in love. It is always wondering why this man or that woman-un1ess there are visible reasons for it-is not married; :; and after a certain amount of wonder ing, it imagines it has solved the pro- blem by concluding that he and she have been crossed in love. There may not be the slightest evidence or argu- ment for any such conclusion. But on the hypothesis-a violent one-that mo- body would continue single if a partner, were procurable, disappointment must be assumed. Excellent as marriage is in itself, all who embrace it may not share it's benefits, especially those who are undiscriminating or precipitate in their choice. There are, also. persons of both sexes constitutionally unf1tted for wedlock, and if conscious of their unfitness they deserve credit for re- training from 1t. So many couples make serious mistake connubially, and discover it too late, that it is fair to infer that many ceMbates are judi cious as well as lucky to have remained such. Besides, hundreds of men in ev- cry community are bachelors from cir They do not want to mar ry in cold blood, and never having met } woman who appealed to them partic- ularly, or aroused tumult in their hearts, they have remained bachelors.

Falls Destroy the Work Of the Resouing
Party.
Special to EVENING HERALD
PLYMOUTH, Feb. 16.-The relatives and
friends of the thirteen imprisoned men in
the Gaylord colliery of the Kingston Com
pany are still hoping against hope. The
work of rescue is still going steadily on, but
is growing more difficult rs progress is be-
coming slower and slower as the heavier
parts of the fall are approached. From the
tiD the last message was sent ont last night
the rescuing gang earca ruout forty feet 10
the plane, but the premonitions Of anothar
impending fall became so pronounced that q
hasty retreat was made to the foot ST the
I shaft aud a little later the expected fall
| came, but the men who had gained caution
by q e fate Of their fellows were in safe
place.
1t was not deemed advisable to approach
the vicinity of he fall again for two hours
and then il was found that the work of the
past lwenty-f -four hours had been undone
| The last three sets of timheTing had been
| splintered as fine as matchwood, and the
gangway for fully twenty feet had been
rendered in Dpassabie and it was necessary tc
do all the clearing ana tmbering over again
The fall is now extending 10 the neighbOr-
ing colleries and is assuming a worse phase
every hour The workings OF the number
| five collieTy OF the Delaware and Hudson
c0lliery are caying and all the miners have
been ordered out. Several falls have occurred
! in he Parrish eolhery, the workings of vii cl
connect on the west and the workings OF the
Dodson colliery of the Plymouth Coal Com
pany are squeezing.
The opinion 70 now beooloing prevacn
among the officials that an explosion Of ga
must have occurred il mediately before tn,
fall, and that every man must have beer
killed by il aud the bodies thrown througl
the connecting headings and gaugway
! Therefore the bodies Of some of them ~,
likely to be found at any time AT tn,
present rate of working it will be at least
| week before the place where they were las'
seen can be reached.
Hon. Daniel Edwards owner of the IN ne
was asked what caused the accident He
! attempted to explain that that portion Of th,
mine had really been worked out twenty
years ago, and that since then the pilar
had been so constantly chipping that mucl
Of their supporting strength was lost and The
weight of the mass Of rock and coal above
them had gradually sagged them until they
| were no longer able to Withstand the weight
Mr. Edwards atteItiO was called to the
| statements of the papers that the pillars had
been robbed but he would not admit that the
| papers were right. He however after some
| questioning admitted that the pillars had rol
perhaps been robbed but that more coal had
been taken away from them thsn should
have beeu and that they were weakened
| thereby
