Another Erring wife.

Michael Macadeeley,a Russian Jew, arrived
in Reading on his way from Mahanoy Plane
to Allentown. He was accompanied by three
little children. To a Reading World re-
porter Macadeeley told the following story ::
The father lived at Mahanoy Plane for 10
years, and carried on the blacksmith trade,
and was also an interpreter of the Pottsville
court, He speaks English, German, Polish
and Hungarian. His family up to two years
ago was an ideal one, but since then happi-
ness was driven from the home circles, and
the father and children We're neglected by
the wife and mother The cause of all this
is the oft told tale of an erring woman, in
nuenced by man who induced her TO break
her ties and yield TO the pleasure afforded in
following an untruthful and wayward life to
her husband and family. Soon the neatness
of the home was no more, and the little ones
were forced to endure the hardships Of a
cruel mother and the husbands appeals
were not listened to. The result Of such
procedure on the part Of the mother resulted
in the breaking up Of the home. The
family, which was at one time a happy
quintette is now severed-the mother is still
leading her wayward life, and the father and
children Vill leave Allentown for the West
The scene at the station was a pitinl one,
and the father wept as he related the mis-
doings of his erring wife.

Yesterday was the day Of st. Swithin, a
meteorological saint, TO whom tradition has
given a reputation as a weather prophet
similar to that Of the ground hog. In fact,
st. Swithin, who was Bishop of Winchester
England, something more than thousand
years ago, is to the summer what the ground
hog is TO late winter and early spring, so far
as weather is concerned. The old adage
regarding him is to the effect that if it rains
or is fair on st. Swithins Day the 10Th of
July, there will be continuous track of wet
or dry weather for the forty days ensuing.
The old lines say
st, Swithin's Day, if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain
st. Swithin's Day, if thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae mair.

Complaint is made against the practice of
storekeepers in burning waste paper and
other refuse on Pear alley. This thorough
fare is very narrow and lined by stables on
both sides, so that even with great precau-
ton there is much danger. Storekeepers in
that part of the town are made very nervous
by flame or smoke, as it was there the con-
flagration of 1888 started.

TWO YOUTHFUL ROBBERS.
They Hail From shenandoah And Were
Caught In Mahanoy City.
Special to EVENING HERALD.

Caught In Mahanoy City.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
MAHANoY CITY, July 16.-Two youths
from shenandoah named Daniel Cullen and /
Michael Seaman, made an unsuccessful /
attempt last night to rob the residence Of
Charles A. Welhaf, the shoe dealer of Main |
street. Cullen was caught in the act but
Scanlan escaped. He was subsequently
arrested, however, and both have been sent
to Jail. Cullen is but IA years of age.
Scanlan is about II.
The story of the case is an interesting one.
The robbery was attempted at about nine
o'clock. Mr. Welhaf and his family were sit
ting on the front porch Of the house, with the
exception Of the SON. David, who is a young
man having but one arm. He retired to his
bed in the garret early in the evening Cullen
and Scanlan entered the house from the rear
by removing a screen from n window on the
first floor. Having gained admittance, they
unlocked the kitchen door and left it open,
SO that there would be free passage for escape.
The young robbers then ascended to the
second floor and entered a bedroom. David
Welhaf heard scratching of matches
and as the the use of matches in the
upper part of the house is unusual his
suspicious became aroused and he descended
W llt ottOllu lOpls Ah lt Alh So oNdhldh
dashed down stairs and escaped from the
house by the rear entrance. Welhaf found
Cullen bending over trunk with lighted
match in his hand. The trunk had been
broken open and most of the contents scat
tered on the floor of the bedroom. In reply
to Welhaf's question as to why he was there
Cullen said he had no parents and was look
ing for a place to sleep. Welhaf asked
him what he was doing at the trunk.
Cullen made no reply, but sprang to
the open window and got partly out when
Welhaf grabbed one of his legs After
struggle Welhaf got the boy back into the
room and held him prisoner by the throat, at
the same time calling for assistance, which
soon arrived. Having but one arm Welhaf
was at disadvantage in the struggle. Cullen
was taken before Justice May and committed
to the lookup after hearing. He gave the
name and address of his companion and last
night Constable Leitenberger arrested Scan
! Ian at Shenandoah and brought him here. 1t
was at first thought that the thieves had
| taken purse containing $780, but this was
subsequently found in another room.
Thomas Carney, the saloonkeeper, lives
next door to the Welhalf house and was
robbed three months ago. John O'Neill,
residing on the opposite side of the street,
was robbed last Monday night. In both
cases the thieves were caught. Cullen and
Scanan were not connected with them.

Tho Social Side of nicyclinr.

Everybody knows in general way that
thousands of persons, young and old, are
riding bicycles this year, but few realize
what an important factor the social side of
cycling has become. To bring ont all the
facts, the issue of The Philadelphia Sunday
Press Of next Sunday, the 10Th inst, will be a
bicycle number. There will be page afterpag
of gossip, profusely illustrated, about all the
bicycle clubs and bicycle riders everywhere
and in Pennsylvania, New jersey, Delaware
and Maryland particularly. If you are the
owner Of a bicycle your portrait is likely to
be in next Sundays Press and there will
certainly be a chapter of gossip about the
cyclers of this section. The project is unique,
and the demand for The Sunday Press bicycle
number is certain to be immense.

HELp F0R rHE cUBAys.

The Senate acted on the Cuban mat
ter late yesterday afternoon. It's ac-
ton, while very important, is not of
that bold and fire-eating character de-
always for war. The resolutions adopt
ed recognized the Cubans as belliger-
ents and request the President to inter-
pose his friendly offices with the Span
ish government for the recognition of
the independence Of Cuba. The reso-
lutions were adopted by vote of "a
yeas to nays. The form of the resolu-
tons is concurrent instead Of joint and
therefore If the house concurs with the
senate the President will not have to
hurry in whatever action he may take.
The house will now act, and then
the President will have very delicate
and a very important duty to do. If
he does anything and If Spain doesn't
like the way in which he does it, and
if she thinks she can afford to resent
the attitude of this country she can
find an excuse for war. But there is
no need of new war excitement in
this country yet and perhaps there will
be no need of any. 1t viii be time
enough for excitement when it is dis
covered that it is necessary for this
country Ito protect the legitimate in
terests of Americans by intervention
Some of the speeches which have
been made in the senate and house in
support of the resolutions are not cal
culated to make good feeling in Spain
and they are calculated to give the
poor Cubans encouragement. There is
no doubt that the prevalent feeling in
this country is one of deep sympathy
with the Cubans and if after full de-
liberation and careful preliminary
proceedings, the government decides
to actively interfere in behalf of Cuban
independence the decision will be popu-

The great, the noble and the Chris
tian work of dividing Africa and the
profits thereof among those entitled to
them goes bravely on. Great Britain
claims about two million square miles
of Central Africa, with total yearly
trade of about nine millions and half
sterling. The French possessions come
next in extent, with an area of about
one million square miles and with a
yearly trade of about e2,500,000 The
Congo Free State has about the same
area, but its general trade may be set
down as not more than 100000 in all.
The area of German Central Africa is
about 900, 900 square miles, or, excluding
German Southwest Africa, Of which on
ly a small part lies to the north of the
line of the Zambesi about $4,000
square miles, with a trade value of
about a million and O half sterling
Portugal claims an area Of some 750,0 900
square miles, almost all of which is in
tropical Africa, and its trade may be
set down as about two millions and
a quarter sterling. The total trade of
Italian Africa is reckoned somewhat
doubtfully as about e500.0O0, and that
of Liberia at about the same. Tt APP
pears, therefore, that in Central Africa
Great Britain takes the lead in every
way-in extent of possessions, in their
total trade value, and in the amount of
trade per square mile of territory, which
may be roughly stated as ga 10s., as
against the 93 per square mile Of
German and of Portuguese Africa, and
the G2 los per square mile of French
Africa. AS to what share of the trade
in each of these districts falls to the
country which possesses 1t, it seems
that the bulk of the trade of the Brit
ish Central African colonies is done
with the mother country whereas the
bulk of the trade of the German coll
onies is done with other countries than
Germany, and about half the French
trade, and almost the whole of the inn
port trade, is with other countries than
France.
