Wanted n Vain Woman.

Its very hard to make the average man take a good pictureI" said 6 well known photographer as, wiping his moist brow, he watched the broad shoulders of a belligerent customer disappear. "TheEs goes a man that's a fair specimen of his sex when before the camera. He wouldn't look sideways-ho thought 1t affected. Re wouldn't button his coat-it wouldn't seem natural He wouldn't be taken standing-it might be thought he wanted to show of his clothes. Nor would he lean his head on his hand-it would make him look like an actor. He didn't want to try to look pleasant-he was afraid he would seem smirking. He wouldn't ait profile-il natured people might say he was vain ot his nose. As a result" said the tired artist, he will go down to pos terity full faced, when his face is too round, with a perfectly stony stare in his expressionless eyes, and his coat looking untidy. Art Is wasted on such c man. Oh, heavenl If only a vain woman would come in now, how refreshing 1t would hap;,

 RENovA, Pa. Jan. 7.-Snowslides GOV ering five miles few miles west of Lock Haven on the Philadelphia and Erie rail- road blocked traffic While a freight train east bound was running along the base of the snow capped Alleghanies. with the ice bound Susquehanna below, 1t was sudden ly submerged by an avalanche of dry, sleety snow, which coursed down the mountain side between Ritchie and Hyner like wheat from an elevator and with all the treachery of quicksand. The train was covered almost its entire length.
 Crews from the east and from the west to the number of several hundred train men came to the rescue and worked the train through the snowslides for a dis tance of fivo miles. Meanwhile the Erie mail train, with large number Of pas sengers, lay at this place for eight hours. The mail train ran9 the Rantlet and scraped the white wall, which pressed threateningly against the windowa almost crushing the panes. The train was in im- minent danger of being engulfed or hurled down the bank into the river. Hundreds of men are standing ready to rush to en. gulfed trains, as the danger is great.

The Presidents Reply.


 After this had been submitted to me prepared in writing, with some care, a re- ply to the question it contained to be read by mo to the commissioners at our meet ing. l intended tu avoid all misunder- standing and misconception by absolutely contining myself to such written reply, of which the following is a copy:
 "GESTLEMEN-You must permit me to remind you that this interview is not an official one, and that instead of receiving you in R representative capacity I meet you as individuals who have travelled 0 long distance for the purpose of laying 6 certain matter before ma
 You ask me if there Is any hope of my doing anything for the restoration of the constitutional government of the Hawaii an IslanoS.
 II suppose that this question is largely prompted by the fact that soon after the overturning of the late government of the queen investigated that transaction and was satisfied that there had been such an unjustiflable interference in aid of that movement on the part of the representa- lives of the government of the United States in its diplomatic and naval service as to call for correction, not only to rectify what seemed to be wrong done to others but also through that rectification to ward off what appeared to be a danger to Amer can honor Approaching the constitu- tional limitations of my executive power and by no means unmindful of the hin- drances that might arise. I undertook the task.
 Having failed in my plans, commit ted the entire subject to the congress of the United States. which had abundant power and authority in the premises. The executive branch of the government was thereby discharged from further duty and responsibility in the matter unless moved thereto by congressional command. The congress has. both by its action and its | omission to act signified that nothing | need be done touching American interfer- ence with the overthrow of the govern ment of the queen.
 Gave Them No Encouragement. Quite lately a government has been es. kablished in Hawaii which is in full force and operation in all parts of the islands. It is maintaining its authority and dis charging all ordinary governmental func tions. Upon general principles. and moi losing sight of the special circumstance: surrounding this case the new govern ment is clearly entitled to our recognition without regard to any of the incident: which accompanied or preceded its inaugu ration.

The President Says He Told Them In a Let ter That He Couldn't and That Congress Wouldn't Do Anything to Restore the De- posed Queen of Hawaii.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The attention of President Cleveland having been called to a hint thrown out in the senate discus sion on Friday that the visit of a certain committee of royalists from the Hawaii an Islands, is connected in some way with the departure of the American ships from that locality, the president said to Q reporter:
 Of course such an insinuation is very absurd Its propriety and the motive the judgment of fair and right thinking American people. am entirely willing that all our people should know every thing know concerning the visit of the so called committee of royalistS."
 Last year in the latter part of July or early in August three gentlemen from Hawaii arrived here and asked through the secretary of state my designation of 0 time when they could have an interview and present a message from the deposed Hawaiian queen. Though I could not with propriety recognize them officially, was not disposed to reuse them personal y the courtesy of an audience. Therefore a future day and hour vere fixed for the interview. In the meantime at my re- quest, transmitted through the secretary of state. these gentlemen made known the precise purpose of their visit in the follow ing note. dated Aug. II, 1894:
 "The Hon. W. c. Gresham, Secretary of State:
 'SIR-We. the undersigned commission prS hv- hnr " 4 al nj, request an audience of the president of the United States. We desire to ask his excellency whether there Is any hope for his doing anything for the restoration of the constitutional government of the Ha- waiian Islands. J. A. CUMMINGS.

and he continued to be as consequential and oyerbearing as over. Harsher meas ureS were resorted to, and the victim de- serted the stage for good and all.
 An excellent story is told by McClory of c green super whom he hired when the late W. J. Florence was playing "Ticket of Leave Man" In this city. The new man gave his name as Pafe. McClory was very busy, and Pafe was instructed us to his duties by a misohievous super-one of those natural born comedians" of whom l havo already made mention. This fel low told him that as soon as the two po- licpmun had arrested Florence ho must walk up hurriedly and hit the hero a sharp blow on the back. Pafe carried out his instructions to the letter, and when he struck Florence, who had just shaken of the two minions of the law, the eminent comedian went spinning down toward the footlights and barely had time to roll in side as tho heavy curtain struck tho stage.
 Florence was mad in earnest, and think ing that Pafe was drunk sailed into him and would have administered a lively
 thrashing had not McClory interfered with an explanation. The genial come dian's anger left him at once, and he laughed until the tears streamed down his cheeks He never tired of telling this joke on himself. either.
 On another occasion, when McClory had
 come supers on for Henry Irving several rshsarsals were found necessary. Every one knows what a great stickler for cor
 rect tout ensemble" the great English tra-
 aedian is. On this particular occasion he
 was in an exceptionally fussy humor
 After featuring several of his actors on the manner of doing certain things he turned his attention to the supers. One was told to look more serious, another to hold his head up and still another to turn his toes out. Finally the signal was given for two of them to advance. The poor fellows did so tremblingly. Before they had walked six steps Irving yelled: "Backl Baoki Take your places again. Now watch me. This Is the way you do, and he initiated the stride of the supers.
 "This is the way you should walk, " and l going up the stage Mr. Irving strode ma | jsstioally down to the proper place, add ing: That's very simple Walk in that | manner"
 This was too much for the younger of | the two offenders, who very sapiently ob- carved, "Ar. Irving, If we could walk like | that we should not be working for 50 | cents night" Irving either did not or would not hear. At any rate, the rehears- | d went through to the end without any
 more fault finding on his part.

SOME of the republican leaders are in- duiglng in line of talk that they will re- gret inside of six months. They are say ing that the only trouble with the treasury is that caused by a revenue insufAcIent to meet the expenditures of the government. and that the de6c is caused by the new tariff law. That is just the talk to suit the democrats. who know that as soon as the treasury begins to realize from the duty on sugar, which is jusS beginning to come in largely, and on tue income tax. which will soon be collectable. the re- ceipts of the government will be in excess of the expenditures. It will be amusing to see these republicans when confronted by their present talk flaw months hence.
 SOME of the numerous men who are al- ways going of half cooked were probably responsible for the rumor which was cur rent day or two ago and was widely tele- p-aphed from Washington. to the effect that the administration had withdrawn the demand it had made upon Spaln 10 cease discriminating against American flour shipped to Cuba, under penalty of having the sugar of Cuba and Porta Rico shut out of the United States. The originator of that rumor got bis facts exactly reversed Instead of withdrawing its demand upon the Spanish government the administration has reiterated it in stronger language. and accompanied it with notice that & prompt reply must be given or the presi- dent would without further warning issue a proclamation against tue sugar of Cuba and Porta Rico.

tion of Charles A. Dana, editor of The
Sun, on a charge of criminal libel preferred
by F. b. Noyes of the Washington Star,
came up before Commissioner Shields in

Root and Bartlett for the defense insisted
that the federal courts in the District of
Columbia had no power or right to de-
mand the removal of Mr.. Dana from this
city to Washington.
Commissioners Shields, after hearing the
arguments on both sides, issued an order
OF committal to- Judge Brown of the
United States District Court and paroled
the defendant in the custody OF his
lawyers.
Mr.. Macfarlsne and the lawyers for the
defence Immediately repaired to Judge

1t Scared the JaiIer Out Of

Ten Prisoners Walked Out Of the
Prison UnmoIested.
A Large Number OF the Convicts
Would Not Leave the Place.

SEATTLE, WASH, March 1S.--A daring
Jail delivery, headed by the notorious Tom
Blank, twice murderer, was perfected at
the county jail here last evening, in which
ten prisoners, including two convicted of
murder, made their escape. The delivery
was accomplished by means of a
dummy revolver made of wood. Tho
jailor, Yarden, went into the north corri-
dor to take medicine to w. A. Wilcox, a,
convicted murderer. When he reached
the corridor in front of the cells he saw
revolver thrust between the bars and
heard Blank say: "Throw up your hands,
Blank made Yarden turn around and tied
him to the bars. He next loossned the cord
about the jailor's arms and threw q moose
over his neck, at the same time calling
out, "Unlock the ombination." The
jsilor complied, and with the disenaged
hand soon had the door to the cages
swinging open and Blank then
went through the jailor's pook-
cts, taking his keys and 30 cents ia
cash. Then proclaiming freedom to all
in the cells hs walked leisureIy into the
open air. There were 21 prisoners in the
cages, but only IL joined in the attempt
to escape. As soon as possible the jailor
was released from his predicament and
Sheriff Vanderwent is now securing the
