Her Fault.

II one wishes to be candid, and really
criticise the American girl, not for a score
of fancied faults which are not hers, but
for fault which is peculiarly hers, it is
that she fritters away deal of time on
many things and does not give enough
time to any one thing. One advantage
which this fault has is that she can over
come 1t. And she should She should
learn the art of application. Whatever she
starts out to do let her do it we'll. If she
wants to play let her learn to play, not in
differently, but well If her taste is for
china painting let her concentrate her
mind to that, and learn to paint well. II
she is fond of needlework, let her train
herself to be expert of the needle If her
tendencies lead her to languages, let her
take up that tongue the study Of which at
tracts her most. But If she takes up French
let her content herself with French, and
not study French one day and German
the next. Nor should she forget that to
know the English language well is her
first duty.-Edward W. Box in Ladies'

One of the most popular operas of the

too late, alas, to console the disappointed
composer, whose death was accelerated, il

chef d'9uvre. Carmen" was, in fact,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15,-Commodore
Melville commented on the above cable
as follows; 1T seems a most extraordi-
nary condition of affairs that the two
principal officers of the Fran should have
been found so far away from their ship
and separated from the other members OF
the ships company. The meeting of Nan
sen and jackson is to be considered an ex-
tremely apt one for the former. If his
chronometer and watch had stopped he
had lost his reokonings, and without
doubt would have persisted had he not
met Jackson. 1t Is extraordinary that
nothing Is said definitely of the wherea-
bouts of the Fran beyond the fact that
she was abandoned in 81 degrees north

IL the present state of the public over
national politics the case of Mr.. David
Martin, of Philadelphia, is not exciting the
interest it otherwise would. 1t will be
remembered that the councils of Philadel-
phia, held what purported to be an invosti-
cation last winter as to how a telephone com
pany was granted. valuable privileges, but as
the witnesses Of importance were out of
reach it was a iasco. Recently the Andrews
investigating committee probcd the same
case and brought out the fact that Martin
had received large blocks of stock in the COM
pany, and that he had been in consultation
with the witnesses wanted by the councils
investigating committee the day before he
appeared to testify and deny all connection
with the affair. These witnesses were at
Trenton, n. j., at the time and it looks very
much as if Martin kept them out Of the way
purposely. This testimony created a seusa-
ton which was not lcsscucd any when Martin
denounced it as perjury, and offered to go
before the committee to testify, and asked
that he be given the opportunity to do so.
When the committee acccded to his request,
Mr.. Martin refused to testify unless he were
permitted to have counsel, presumably to
protect him. As innocent people don't need
counsel to protect them Mr.. Martin has
placed himself in the position of having
played a game of bluff and failed. This is
the man who rules the councils of Philadel-
phia, and without whose sanction nothing is
permitted to pass that body, Truly, the

BLooDsHED IN CLEVELAND.
Three Men Shot in "a Fight Between
strikers and Non-Unlonists.

strikers and Non-Unionists.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 15.-Three men were
shot and n badly wounded in a conflict
which occurred last evening between a
party OF the Brown company strikers and
several n~on-unton men who were going
home from the works. Two of the wounded
men are non-unionists, the third is a
striker and the fourth a spectator.
The names of the injured are: j. w.
Caldwell, %non-union, shot i'm the thigh
and struck on the head with n billy;
George Plumb, non-union, shot through
the abdomen, will probably recover
Thomas Evans, n striker, shot in the back,
badly hurt and may die; William Laurey,
q bystander, struck in the face with a tele-
graph insulator and badly hurt.
The trouble occurred nearly two miles
from the works, at the corner Of Wade
Park and East Madison avenue. A num-
Der of the non-unionists live in that vicin-
ity, and eight or ten of them were going
home from the works together. Just as
they turned the corner n crowd of strikers
who had been in hiding behind a saloon
attacked them, Stones were hurled, and
George Plumb, one of the non-unionists.
pulled "a revolver and fired. Plumb was
then shot, as he claims, by Henry Smell, a
striker.
The firing become general ,%atleast twenty
shots having been exchanged. The fight
lasted but a few minutes, and as soon as
it was over the strikers disappeared. The
police had not anticipated any trouble in
that section, and it was some time before
they arrived on the scene and began an
investigation. Ambulances took the in
jured men to hospitals or their homes.
The police have arrested j H. Whitlan,
a striking m%achinist, formerly employed
by the Brown Company. He was seen to
throw a revolver, all the cartridges in
which had been fired, through an open
door into a barber shop.
The Brown company strike has been ex-
tended TO Pittsburg. The strikers learned
a few days ago that the Schaife Foundry
and Machine company, of Pittsburg, was
doing work for the Brown company and
sent a representative there. He sent back
word yesterday that he would probably
succeed in getting the patternmakers,
machiniSts and iron moulders of the
Schaife company to strike.
