The plea Of pessimism, the puzzle in
philosophy, the stumbling-block in SO.
cial science, the uncertain element
in all thought, the irreducible factor
in every human problem-all spring
out of the fact that we exceed our
material environment we outmeasure
tn Q material world in which we find
ourselves. Hence we predicate an
other world, not a future one alone,
but a world present, eternal spiritual,
out of which we come, to which we
return. and in which we exist. The
one purpose of life is to find paths into
this world, or to make paths If there
are none. One of the broadest is mu.
sic. It's the commonest way of escape
from this muddy vesture of decay
one that religion always keeps open,
and one that poetry and thought have
ever trodden with delight-T. T. Nun

Strange Things In This World.

There is man to whom rice in any
form is poison. Some friends wished
to test this persons susceptibility. and
at dinner surreptitiously got him to
partake of biscuit in each of which was
q grain of rice. He ate two or three
biscuits and soon after had to leave the
table, declaring that he was being poi
soned by rice, though he was absolutely
certain he had not partaken of any.
The other case was one in which the
juice Of a gooseberry acted as power
full excitant and produced at once vir-
ulent skin eruption. This man was SO
very susceptible that he could detect
gooseberry juice even when it was mas
queraded rs champagne. At a public
dinner he whispered to his neighbor it
was gooseberry Juice they were drink
ing and as proof he turned up his shirt
sleeves and showed him the rash devel-
oping. That man was clearly intended
by nature for q wine merchant. Al

PRELIMINARY WORK.
First Week Of the Fifty-fourth Congress,
A Forecast.

First Week OF the Fifty-fourth Congress-
A Forecast
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE first week
of the Fifty-fourth congress, which
convenes to-day, promises nothing at
either end of the capitol in the way of
actual legislation. The time before
the Christmas holidays is usually de-
voted to preliminary matters and the
work of the session does not begin I'M
til after the recess. The new congress
will probably not be an exception to
this rule. The senate proceedings may
be enlivened by an attempt at reorgan-
ization, but in the house nothing can
be done until the committees are APP
pointed. Speaker-elect Reed says the
committees will not be announced this
week, with, perhaps, a single excep-
tion-the committee on rules This
committee formulates the rules which
are to govern the house during its ses-
sions, and it is customary for the
speaker to name it during the first
week in order that it can Immediately
begin its labors. While IL is believed
the rules of the Fifty-first congress,
over which Mr.. Reed presided, will be
reported for the guidance of the
present house, it is understood a few
changes will be made as result Of
experience, which are designed to
still further improve the house ma
chinery and the facilitation of public

NEW YORK, Nov. So R. G. Dun 4

Business has not improved, though
there is very little change except in
the shrinkage Of prices which u period
of inaction naturally causes After
the extraordinary buying of the sum.
mcr and early fall, marked decrease
was inevitable and it is yet too early
in most branches to judge how far the
future was anticipated in purchases.
Retail stocks are still reported full in
nearly all branches, with delayed dis.
tribution in many on account Of unfa.
vorable weather. The movement OF
crops is only fair, both cotton and
wheat being largely kept back in the
hope of higher prices, and there is a
prevalent feeling that foreign imports
will fall off.
The wooden business makes scarcely
any gain, although clay worsteds are
largely sold at the advanced prices re.
Gently made and some dress goods and
overcoatings at prices partly higher
and partly lower The sales of wool,

last year. As before, Atlantic exports
are relatively small, and for four
weeks have been only s,267, 1O6 bushels

year. 1t is evident that with such
movements higher prices can hardly
be expected, nor can the exchange
situation be favorably affected.

been 279 in the United States against
ESQ last year and AZ in Canada against
&c last year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30--Secretsry OF
War Lamont has submitted his annual
report to President Cleveland. The
feature of it is showing of the tardi-
ness with which the plans for coast de.
lenses and ornaments are being
carried out The original plan, !"
says Secretary Lamont, Contemplated
an expenditure of S97, 7s2, 800 by the
end OF the present year. The actual
expenditures and appropriations
for armament and emplace.
ments have, however, been but
$40. 6Sl,O0 The average annual
appropriations for these two objects
has been less than 81, 100000. The
work has therefore been conducted at
about seventh of the rate proposed.
II future appropr iations for the manu-.
facture of guns, mortars and carria ges
be no larger than the average author
lied for the purpose since 1888, it will
require twenty-five years more
to supply the armament Of the
eighteen important ports for
which complete projects are
approved. If the appropriations
for the engineer work are to continue
at the rate of the annual appropria-
tions since 1890. it will require seventy
years to complete the emplacements
and platforms for this armament for
the ports referred to. 1t rests with
congress to determine by its appropri.
atoms the period which shall elapse
before our coasts shall be put in sat.
isfactory condition of defense. The
amount required for the eighteen ports
is about $4,000, 900, and the entire
work can be completed within ten
years"
The report shows that the expenses
of the war department for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1895. were $50, 0s7,
$50. The appropriation for the cur,
rent fiscal year is s4G,466, ST., and the
estimate for the following year, SSH.

the insurgents, commanded by Leonico
Vidal, wrecked a train carrying 200
Spanish soldiers and a quantity of

which exploded with terrible effect.
The locomotive and the cur next to it
were torn to pieces, the other coaches
derailed and the engineer, fireman and
thirteen soldiers, who were in the
coach next to the engine, were killed
by the explosion. Eighteen soldiers
were also killed when the rear coaches
were derailed, as they went down a
high embankment. About fifty SOL
diers were wounded, some of them
mortally. The soldiers who were un-
injured were SO terrified that they sur.
rendered without resistance. The
arms and ammunition captured were
valued ut many thousands of dollars.

Thirteen or Fourteen Men Meet Death In
Mine Near Carmel, N. Y.
CARMEI, N. Y, Nov. SO-An acct.
dent resulting in the loss OF thirteen
or fourteen lives occurred at the Tilley-
Foster mines little after 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Foreman Patrick
was descending into the pit to take the
time of two gangs of laborers, num-
bering about thirty.fve men, who
were working at the bottom, when a
vast weight of earth and rock slid
with the force of an avalanche from
the mouth of the pit to the bottom, n
distance of 800 feet The earth crashed
over the men with tremendous force.
Out Of one gang Of eleven only five
came out alive, and three of the men
employed in another gang were taken
out dead.
The dead arc: Michael Cannon, fore.
man; Patrick II. Murtha, foreman;
John Pagan, boarding house keeper;
Thomas Dennis, John Smith, an Aus
trian, name unknown, No. 234. An
Austrian, known as 1914, received a
fracture of the skull, and will prob
ably die. The names of the others
killed are at present unknown. Sew.
eral Of the workmen were severely in.
jured. The cavern caused the great
est excitement, but gangs of men were
soon set to work to remove the bodies
Of those under the mass OF earth. Su.
perintendent Tompkins and Foreman
Lynch took charge of the work, and up
to o'clock five dead bodies had been
brought to the surface. Murthn was
taken out alive, but he died Eve min.
utes after he was taken home.
The accident is supposed to have
been caused principally by the heavy
rains which opened crevices in many
places. The mine is owned by the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal Co., Of New
York and Scranton, Pa Clinton
Stephens is the contractor in charge
and the men killed and injured were
in his employ.
