An Unfair Criticism.

Commenting on the possibility of an in ternational university athletic contest, Lady Colin Campbclls Realm says: "The American universities have nothing like the authority in athletic matters that ours have. Things might easily go wrong. The baser kind of sport hangs about the American tracks, from falSifying a record to poisoning competitor"
 A greater falschood was never printed. College athletics in America are as honest as they could be, and the English critic who declares that records arc falsified and competitors arc poisoned in college sports on this side of the water is either insane ol is willful prevaricator.

This is the biggest thing yet of- fered to the trade. Fifteen dollar solid oak chamber set with large bevel plate mirror and every thing else in proportion. This is our dull season every year, but we have no fear of it being dull with us while these goods last. The only trouble we have is in getting enough of them to go around Come early.

Fashion Notes.

Unlimited favor will be given to velvet
next season.
Many of the rough cloth jackets are made
in REFER shape.
Some very elegant black costumes are pre-
pared for dressy autumn wear.
Some of the new fur capes are finished
with vest fronts of contrasting fur.
Bohemian glass in a new shade Of pink is
exceedingly dainty and very popular.
Towering moses are a favorite design for
hand painted cuffs, collars, fronts. sashes
and the like.
The newest setting for diamonds is white
enamel. This enhances the brilliancy of the
stone and the setting hardly shows.
The iridescent button of great size, the
notified or pattern button and the many beau
tiful Dresden buttons are chiefly in favor.
Among the novelties for cool weather wear
are fur sailor collars finished around the en-
tire edge and long pointed fronts with a
deep fringe Of sable tails.
The great rage for crepon fabrics has re-
suited, as usual, in the production of cheap
grades of it which will turn dowdy looking
and rusty in two months time.
Many green and black-and-red and black
color mixtures appear among autumn dress
goods and narrow striped tailor mixtures in
healthy cOlors are used for fall travelling and
shopping costumes.

Joseph Mans. an, industrious native OF Ger
many, during tha past twelve yeas. He can
not speak too highly OF tho va liable services
his four daughters have rendered in the
working OF ryhe mine, and slys
that he would have BEN compe.l-d
to go out OF the, business several years ago
had 1t not been that they stood by him.
Consequently he and his wife have got over
the disappointment that they felt when their
first four childreh proved girls instead Of
boys. OF the seven children born since these
girls four are boys, so that Mr.. Mans will
soon have four young miners to help him
cut dusky diamonds in the bowels Of the
earth. While he and his athletic daughters
are working the mine his wife runs their
farm, which, according to his story, is the
best paying investment Of the two. The
product Of their mine finds ready sale among
the farmers of the Mahanoy and Mahan-
tongo valleys.
The only other instance known Of women
working in or about a coal mine in the lower
anthracite region occurred eight years ago,
when Mrs. Daniel Grassens attired herself
in mems clothing and found employment as
an inside loader of the Gimlet colliery. She
worked on the same shift as her husband,
and her sex was not discovered for a period
Of two months. Then the boss admitted
that she did a mans work well, but he dis
charged her because she was a woman. She
and her husband are now prosperous tillers
of the soil in the Mahanoy valley.
