The fishing steamer rocked gracefully
on the unexcited waves off the pictur-
esque Jersey coast, while the thousand
and one disciples of LEAK Walton (de-
ceased) peered downward over the rail,
each patiently waiting for q signal jerk
ON his or her line to convey the intelli-
gence from down in the pale blue depths
that finny babitue of the unfathomed
deep desired TO be pulled in out of the
wet. Naught could be heard but the
lazy swishing Of the water against the
stomach of the boat, the half suppressed
breathing Of the fishers and an OCCASION
oil gurgle from the mouth of q bottle as
some angler tested his bait.
A puff of smoke was seen to rise from
the shores Of Sandy Hook and float
lazily away on the ocean breeze. A mo-
ment later q low, sullen roar reached
the landwerd ears Of those on board the
steamer, and dark missile, flying with
speed of tornado, was seen coming
dead on toward them.
"a shot from the testing station at
the Hookr' shrieked the captain "It
will strike the upper deck and muss up
the whole bout with the shattered re-
mains Of late people. Ely below for your
lives -
Hold" cried manly voice from
tho lee rail. Calm yourselves, for not
hair of your heads shall be harmed.
Give mo plenty of deck room"
Tho crowd surged back in strug-
Cling mass, and the young man placed
T., L.,
behind-the-bat attitude and waited.
On came the shot, screaming like u
whole lot Of demons, but tho intrepid
young man flinched not. He was not

The missile struck his hands with "a

man was lifted from his feet and spun

tons grew slower until at last, with a
graceful spring, he alighted upon his
feet. dropped the GOO pound shot harm

Are you man or devil?" cried the
captain, endeavoring to draw his eyes

Artificial Cotton Yarn.

The production of artificial cotton yarn
from wood pulp is declared by Rhode Is
land oSperimcnter to BIO q practicable in
dustry, the difference between the two ma
terials being said to DO very slight as re-
CARDS appearance, softDeSs, strength, lus-
ter and general condition. 1t appears that
for this purpose the wood Of the spruce or
the pine is used and is deflbrated, after
which it is disintegrated thoroughly and
subjected to II good bleaching, much de-
pending upon the latter process. an essen
tial point being that tho wilderness of the
stock equals that Of the genuine cotton
material. Thus far, 1t is stated, the
bleaching compounds have consisted of hot
solutions Of bisulphate Of soda and chic
ride of lime. After bleaching the subdued
pulp the ceNulose L. treated with o COM
pound of chloride of zinc, castor oil and
gelatin, resulting in tho formation Of q
paste which is reduced to strands and rub
bed into threads.
Under the naked eye tho pulp thread Is
said to differ very little in appearance from
the real cotton, possesses practically oil the
features Of a puro cotton thread and is
white and soft, but when compared be-
meath q strong microscope q difference Ia
noticed, the fine, fuzzy and loose hbers SO
prominent In cotton threads being miss
ing in the pulp Sort though not to the dis
advantage Of tho latter. The peculiar
twist character of cotton thread Is also alb
sent Ia the pulp strand, while tho latter
seems harder and smoother under the glass.

cAosswlse RIDING.
A Riding Master Believes IT Dangerous
For Women.

For Women.
Since the appearance on ono of our
avenues few days ago Of woman rid
ing horse astride there has been the
usual discussion attending any innova-
ton in Buffalo. Investigation at the To-
cal riding schools proves that there are
q number of society girls taking up this
new fad, which Of course it is OF the
present time Whether or not it has
come to stay remains to DO seen.
People who know very little about
riding are undaeStho impression that the
crosswise riding for women is not SO
dangerous. Harold st. John, n local rid
ing master, is authority for the state
ment that riding astride Is much more
dangerous than the way women have
been accustomed to ride in the past and
explains it in the following way:
"a woman has more of grip in the
sidesaddle than In a mans saddle" he
said. "a man wouldn't have for tho
reason that from the hips down man
has more weight than woman A wom-
ans weight is mostly from the hips up.
50 the weight that would keep man
from being thrown in an emergency
wouldn't be of the slightest use for
woman Then, too, from the hips to tho
mees mans leg is longer; consequent
~ he can clinch the side of the horse
and keep from being thrown in this
way, while woman couldn't, as the
horse slantS where her knee would come
or course n coed rider doesn't ride q
horse by his grip, but by balance, but
when an emergency comes and the horse
Is frightened and jumps some sort of @
grip is necessary, and the woman will
find the best grip on her sidcsaddle.
I" woman will have to be a muoh
more sillful rider to ride astride than
the other way. The reason it has been
80 successfully tried in New York and
other cities is because only women ac-
customed all their lives to equestrian
exercises are taking it up. You let a be-
ginner try it, and see the failure.
For myself, have no objection to
it, only know that it is nonsense for SO
many people to say that riding astride
is safer way of riding One reason
people have come to believe the old way
not safe is because if woman is ever
hurt riding the fact is published all
over the country, while among the same
number of men more are injured, only
nothing is said about it. Anyway, even
though you hear of women being hurt,
you never hear of men being injured.
Then, again, you hear about the
twisted position Well, have no doubt
that the crosswise position is more com
Portable, but we have never heard of
woman being deformed through riding
as has always been the custom.
LAS to the grace: Well, that is en-
tirely o matter Of training the eye. If it
were customary for women to ride in
the new way, it would look just as
graceful to Us. A woman sits astride
much straighter than man. Buffalo

THE FLAT TOP GOAL FIELDS

The Outlook Bright-Ihe Output Higher
Yesterday Than Since May1.
The Bluefield Telegraph of yesterday
morning says:
Twenty nine companies were work.
ing yesterday and ran the output OF coal
and coke up to 40s oars.
This Is q heavy increase from the
average OF last week, but it is far below
what the producers expect to accom-
lish within the next few days.
The outlook Is Frightening every
hour. Not only Is the coal market in q
healthy state, but labor is becoming
more available, go that there is sure to
be great revival of industry In thia
field without further delay. It is said
that the demand for the Pocahontas coal
Is keener than ever now, the strike
exiRencies having compelled some of
the steamship companies to use other
fuel, the result of the change being any
thing but satisfactory.
In another week the operators will ba
able to furnish all the coal and coke
that the railway company can haul to
market. Seventy miners arrived on No.
lest night, and there were some
'desertions from the union yesterday.
The output at Elkhorn shows that the
strike Is prac ticslly over ct that point.
There arc gains all around and the en-
Sire thirty-eight companies will soon be
under headway
The two salient features In the situa,
Non yesterday were that the field WAS
peaceful and that many OF the miners
who have always borne repu tation for
sobriety and industry are leaving the
union and returning to their employers.
a union minec stated to Oawless yes
terday that anleas the trou BILE could be
fixed up this week he would leave the
union and return to work. Hundreds
OF the union uaen are holding out on the
promise that something is about to be
done to bring the strike to O satisfactory
settlement. They will wait very short
time longer. The strike Is being main
tsine& now by less than twenty per cont.
OF the deld, and there ia not the slight
est chsnce at this time for the managers
OF the movement to aecure any conces-
sions or promises of Importance from
the operators. The latter ara making
favorable terms with the miners indi-
viduslly without recognizing the union.

BAD ACCIDENT AT LlMINeToN.
I. f. Tucker of Portland Shoots at Par
fridge and Seriously Wounds Howard
Holmes.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

South Limington, September 30-A
serious accident occurred here last Friday.
Mr.. ]. l. Tucker, a grocer on HssYork
street. Portland. was spending vacation
with the family of I. O. Holmes in this
place. FIR iday, Mr.. Tucker and Mr..
Holiness son Howard young man of "a
years, went shooting. A short distance
from the house they "scared up'' several
partridges, which flew into some bushes
near and below the highway. Young
Holmes remarked to Tucker, ''You stay
in the highway and will go around into
the bushes and drive them out, and if
one flies up you shoot at him. This
Holmes did, Tucker remaining in the
highway. Holmes went around over some
rising ground and was coming down to
the bushes, whensa bird flew out and
Tucker shot at him. Holmes was right in
range and received large portion of the
charge Two shots entered one eve and
one into the other, several struck his face
and others struck him in the breast.
Holmes was taken to the dwelling of
Mrs. William Manson, near by and DR..
Moulton summoned. DR.. Moulton re-
quested that DR.. Randall Of Standish be
sent for also. When DR.. Randall arrived
he advised he be taken Immediately to
the Rye and Ear Intirmary at Portland.
Ho was made as comfortable as possible
and taken to Hollis Centre and thence to
Portland.
DR.. Moulton feared the shot might have
penetrated the skull back of the eye,
which is thin at that place and lodged in
the brain behind, which might cause
DEATH 1t is singular fact that young
Holmes was one of the party connected
with the ''fatal target shooting" which
resulted in the death of young Weston,
ON July 9th, at this place. and this affair
took place not over sixty rods from where
Weston lost his life.
Cat the Infirmary last night, it wca
stated that young Holmes was getting
along well, and it was hoped to operate
and save his eyes,
