express cars crashed into the engine
with terrible force, and in few min
utes were on. fire. The coaches, with
their precious burden of passengers,
were jammcd together, but did not
leave the track, to which fortunate oc-
currence is due that none of the passcn-
gers were injured.
AS soon as the train quoted the pas
sengers rushed to the piled up and
burning express cars, where they found
Messenger Stohl, Of the United States
Express Co., struggling to escape from
his car. In moment he was rescued,
but not until he had received injuries
about the head and body, and probably
internally, but it is thought he will re-
cover.
The passengers then turned their at
tention to the derailed engine below
in the creek, and were mortified to find
no signs Of the engineer or his fireman.
For five long, weary hours they con-
tinued their search, until at last they
found the crushed and dead body OF
Fireman Rhinehalt under the locomo-
tive One of his feet was entirely
burned off. Continuing their search
they came across bits of the remains OF
the unfortunate engineer, Nicholson.
These they gathered up and placed in
a bucket, the rest of his body having
been entirely consumed by fire.
Messenger Stohl was taken to Dalti-
more, where he lives, Sunday after
noon. The remains of Engineer Mich

taken to Glcnwood, Pa, where they

CENTRALIA, ILL.,, May 2G.-Despite
their defeat and the capture OF quar-
ter OF their number Thursday at Odin,
the Du Quoin miners made another at
tack on the Ceutralia miners before
dawn Friday. Justabout 3 o'clock fifty
of the strikers crept stealthily to the
mines, which had been left lightly
guarded in the belief that any attack, il
made, would be on the armory, where
the arrested men were confined under
heavy guard. The first known Of the
strikers approach was q tremendous
fusilade of bullets against the mine
company's office Fortunately there
were no guards there, but a. short dis
lance away. The guards returned the
fire with their Winchesters and the at
tackers took to their heels. So far as
known no one was hurt. A little after
8 o'clock the troops ordered here under
Col. r. N. Smith arrived and the town
was Immediately put under military
guard. News reaches here from Du-
Ouoin that 500 more strikers are en-
deavoring to steal train and come
here, while from Breese comes word
that the strikers there are preparing to
march. The troops, however, are strong
and will resist any mob that may come:
Sheriff Helms also has large force OF
deputies now on duty, all picked men,
who will not hesitate to act promptly
In an emergency The arrested Du
Quoin men had hard night OF it on the
armory floor without bedding and are
all very bitter. thinner, one OF their
leaders, asserts that none OF the Du-
Ouoin men committed any overt act
but that his force is suffering for the
acts of others.

Isn't it comical how fashion can de-
cree the rule of some particular article
or style of dress and how women will
perform the kowtow and accept it?
Now it is the rever. 1t does not matter
at all, at all, what pattern nature has
seen fit to cut you by individually, if
you are woman you must be revered-
that is, you must wear revers- You may
rebel and declare you are too short, or
too fat, or too long, or too lean, your
dressmaker will regard you with superb
scOrn, while she allows you a wee small
voice in the shape of your revers. You
may have them pointed and narrow or
fat and faring. You may be perfectly
conscious that when you get into them
you viii be submerged by them, and
you may court effacement by ordering
the fat and faing sort. You may select
your material, your liberty ranging from
MORE to wool or calico, but you must
accept your destiny, and destiny DEGREES
-revers- The only consolation to be de-
rived from the situation is that fashion
has the reputation of being somewhat
tickle and may change her mind soon.

shown in figure I was made from one
of those swell front affairs, so familiar
in New England homes of the past,
but of course any similar shape or pat
tern would be equally fitting To
make the change it is necessary to re-
move the upper drawers, upholstering
the space left thereby-seat, sides and
back The fat top of the bureau, of
course, will not be required as such,
and can be utilized as seat by cutting
to the proper size and mailing in place.
The cushion may be removable and
can be covered with denim, jute, vel
our or corduroy to suit ones purse.
The back and sides should be padded,
covering with the same material as
cushion. Finish the edges neatly
with gimp of suitable color or small
brass headed nails Should the wood
be dark mahogany any of the shades of
denim now offered will answer admir-
ably, and the pillows and holsters, if
used, may be decorated to advantage
with outline designs The suggestion
of using so humble material as denim
is with a view to economy; more costly
material may be used when desired.
A very handsome little settle may be
fitted up in the parlor in much the
same manner Figure 2 illustrates
what may be done in this direction.

The Pail Mall Gazette, in discussion
of the much discussed ''revolt of the
daughters gives the following pen
picture of what is supposed to constitute
u ''wen brought up mother"
t'She must never ask questions lest
she be told lies. She must learn not to
make inconvenient remarks and allow
her daughters to say the social thing
that is not, to her own domestic lnowl-
edge, with an unmoved countenance.
She must not insist on the fair, frail
creature wearing warmer clothing or
stouter boots than is consistent with
fashion. She must not venture to criti-
else the outsides of letters or examine
ball programmes. She must know every
thing and seem to know nothing and
remember or forget according to the
exigencies of the moment. She must
consent to be caressed in public when
such an exhibition is effective and

element is at discount

her to her bed. Lately her eyesight has
failed her and her mind has lost much
of its power. On April Is the venerable

Feminine Rifle Shots.

Miss Pryor, sister of Major w. r.
Pryor, late of the Twenty second regi-
nent of New York, is very skillful with
both rifle and pistol. Miss Pryor prac-
tees several hours each week at a private
shooting gallery. She has handled a rife
since she was girl and is a wonderful
fancy shot The Kildare club, which
has its happy hunting ground in the
Adirondacks, numbers almost as many
good feminine as masculine shots among
its members. The costume of the ladies
of the Kildare club is a pretty tweed
dress, with a shortish skirt, kniclxerbOck-
ers, trim coat and small, soft hat.
The outfit is similar to ahat of young
English girls, who of late have gone in
for shooting with so much earnestness.

If you must use powder and it won't
stick on, try this: Get an ounce or two
of cocoa butter-costs about ten cents
an ounce and looks like tallow. Rub
it on your face briskly until the skin
is well creased. Take a soft linen
cloth and rub the butter off-and you
viii wonder where all the dirt came
from; then repeat the process, this time
rubbing the skin well after applying
the butter Again rub the face with
the cloth and apply it vigorously
After that rub on the powder and your
skin will feel like satin. You can use
it on the neck and arms the same way
and it is not likely to rub off and make
your skin look shiny Cocoa butter is
a good skin food and is harmless.

Mrs. Cleveland.

Mrs. Cleveland is not beauty in the
sense of society's beauties. She is rather
of the Musidora style, which one swain
would see and apostrophize in her sim
pie elegance, and at the turn of her rus
tic head toward him would run away,
as if from virtues wonder. It is pos
sible that with time those northern, I'M
coquettish charms might grow little
hard. In a superior country church, at
a Sunday school picnic, at the seaside
harvest home when Neptune throws his
long arms along the beach ana seeks to
crawl ashore, this pleasing, proper wife
would be a charming setting to the
shadows, greenery or sun.-Cincinnai
