A Woman of No Importance.

Oscar Wilde took desperate chances
when he wrote the play entitled "A
Woman Of No Importance" for the
very title OF the drama ISLANDERS the
sex. There are no women of no i'm
pOrtance. At least, if there are, they
are seldom seen, and they certainly
do not patroniZe the st. Paul & Duluth
Railroad. The fair patrons of the
Duluth Short Line are all women OF
importance, as all the men will agree.
They are women Of intelligence, for
they know that the Duluth Short Line
is the line to take whenever one de-
sires to travel com fortably and rapidly
and reasonably between St. Paul, Min
neapOlIS, Duluth, West Superior, Still
water and Taylor's Falls. The facili-
ties offered by this route are such as
to appeal to everyone of taste, and the
result is popularity. Patrons like The
lunury of good equipment, the benefit
Of speed, the advantages of close con-
nectiOnS. and they take the Duluth
Short Line for that reason. All tick
ct agents will cheerfully furnish in
formation, time tables, ETC., or they
may be obtained upon application to

CHINESE REGISTRATION.
Some Curious Facts About the Celestial
Residents OF Rhode Island.

The work of registering the names Of
the Chinese residents OF Rhode Island is
progressing slowly but steadily. OF the
160 natives OF the Celestial kingdom who
make their homes in this State more
than thirty have already complied with
the law and Messrs. Kavanaugh and Gill
martin are satisfied that they will have no
trouble to complete the list.
The Chinese were very slow to avail
themselves OF the opportunity to register.
They did not like the idea of posing for
their photographs, but when the ice was
broken by Chin How and Lee Yeng and
they found that they were only doing their
duty by complying with the law they
made no further objections and were
willing TO talk freely with the revenue
officers.
Among those who had registered UP to
Saturday night only three were from out
of town. One came from Newport, one
from East Greenwich and the third from
Central Falls, Those from Pawtucket,
Woonsocket ard other towns and villages
are expected this week.
Nearly all OF the Chinese who have
registered are members of the Lee family.
There is Lee Yong, Lee Que, Lee Ling,
Lee Hing and many others, oil of whom
are related. In China there
are many big families, and the tie of blood
relationship that makes the Chinese people
80 clannish when at home Is not forgotten
when they take up their residence in other
lands. For that reason the Chinese i'm any
large city are chiefly representatives of
two or three families. In Rhode Island
for instance, nearly every Chinaman Is
either Lee, Chin, or Moy.
There are no Chinese women in Rhode
Island, but two married men have already
registered. When a Chinaman enters the
matrimonial ranks he takes another name,
adding Il to those that were given him
at his birth. There are many men in
Rhode Island whose wives await them in
their native land, but Lee Mo Loung and
Ice Hung Bingare the only men who have
yet signed Uncle Sans list. AZ IL O'Clock
today five more Chinese signed their
papers at the revenue Office.

PLUCKY MRS. BOSWORTH.
Her Midnight Struggle with a Des.
perate Burglar.
His Revolver Had No Terrors for Her
and She Grappled with the Intruder.
Her Act Saved Many Naluables.

Mrs. c. A. Bosworth, governess in the
family of s. G. Jameson at All Broadway,
had desperate struggle with a burglar
last night. Shortly after l o'clock Mrs.
Bosworth was awakened from her
slumbers by noise in her room. She got
up and discovered man ransacking her
jewel case on the bureau. AS the woman
arose the noise caused the burglar
to spring to tie bedside and
Mrs. Bosworth saw that his face was COW
cred with a heavy black mask.
The burglar ordered her to keep quiet
and pointed a revolver at her. Mrs. Bos-
worm screamed when the man grabbed the
woman and attempted TO choke her.
Hhe governess clung closely to her assail-
q It and screamed again, and the burglar,
with a curse, exerted his strength and
threw the woman heavily TO the floor.
AS he left the room Mrs. Bosworth
screamed again, and the man, alarmed,
flew down the stairs to the front dooS and
escaped.
The family were awakened and an in
vestigation was made. 1t was found that
the burglar had secured all the silver ware
in the dining room and had piled it up on
the floor preparatory TO taking the "swag''
away.
An inventory revealed the fact that
nothing had been taken.

ANXIOUS ONES LEARN SAD NEWS.
Pathetic Scenes at the Mouth Of the
Shaft at an Early Hour This Morn
ing-It is Believed That Bodies
VIII BE Recovered Today.

WILKEsBARRE, March 12.-It is ru-
mored here that four bodies have been re-
covered in the Gaylord Mine.
The officials of the Kingston Coal COM
pany refuse to either confirm or deny the
report. large crowd is now collected at
the mine, expecting the bodies to be
brought up at any time.
At O'clock this morning one OF the
company officials paid hurried visit TO an
undertaking establishment. A hall hour
later the undertaken was seen driving
in the direction of the mine. He
had four coffins on his wagon. night
watchman saw the undertaken and gave
the alarm. In less than an hour over 1000
persons had congregated at the mouth oil
the shaft.
The relatives OF the entombed men were
the first 10 reach the slope. They made
many anxious inquiries as to the latest
developments under ground, hut the mine
officials refused to answer
Mrs. Walsh, a widow of one OF the men
i'm the mine, arrived at the slope at 4
o'clock. She wanted to know OF the super
intendent il her husband was among
those found. The superintendent said he
was unable to answer.
At 4 O'Clock the collins were lowered in
10 the mine. IL is believed that the bodies
of the men are unrecogniZable.
Mine operator Edwards told a represen-
tative OF The Associated Press at 8 O'Clock
this morning that there was no
truth that the bodies of the buried
miners had been reached. He says, how
ever, that coffins were taken into the
shaft and that the erescuers expect to come
upon the bodies at any hour.

SOME DISAPPOINTMENT.
Polo Admirers Find Fault With the
Home Team.

A few days ago the patrons and sup
porters of polo in this city were in high
feather because they thought that Provi-
dencc would capture the league champion
ship. Now they are dependent, for they
can see no reasonable hope that the
Grays will be better than third
in the race. There has been great fall
ing off i'm team work, due to several
causes. Listlessness and indifference are
charged and open condemnation is heard
in many places. This is q natural sequence
of hope dashed 90 earth, whether in
team will have TO be first and
likely TO be tail-enderas any other club.
No one would find fault if the players
played all tho time as IL they wanted to
win, but when game IL apparently
thrown away general cry of chagrin,
not to say disgust, is expected. This is
about the condition of affairs at the pres
ent time due wholly TO the
poor exhibition made by the
Grays recently. A few games won
in succession, however, would restore con-
fidence and then all the poor play would
be forgotten. TO maintain enthusiasm and
preserve popular patronage, providence
must show considerable improvement over
the work of last week. There are about
four weeks more in the season, and il is
possible for the Grays to be first, and fail
ing in that they should wind up the sea-
son at least number two in the race.
This evening Worcester will be here and
the Grays ought TO win in their own hall.
The standing OF the clubs now is:
