SILK WAISTS nEpuor TRADE.

There is nothing the average Amori.
can woman enjoys SO much as bar
gain. 1t is hardly while to say this,
for no one denies its truth. Particu-
larly does the woman like to make n
bargain in dress goods, provided she
can procure tho style that is indispen-
sable. The silk waist has led her into
renewed economy.
Formerly, u new dress for woman
meant IN anxious and tedious fort
night or so. There was the selection
of the material, with accompanying
misgivings as to its texture, shade and
fitness for the purpose. There were
tho trimmings to pick out, and the
Innings and other adjuncts to be pro-
cured of exactly the right quality and
quantity. When all this was ready,
and before the woman had given her
self time to recuperate from the stl ain
incident to spending long afternoons
in dry goods stores, aud watching the
clerk to see that she made no mistake,
there WAS the dressmakcr to BE con-
suited.
And what time the dressmakcr
had The dress must be made in o
certain way, and there was difficulty
in making tho waist fit. The only
consolation for the dressmaker lay in
the expectation that she would be well
paid for her trouble. But tho dress
maker with a small business finds her
business smaller than ever now. The
woman buys three or four silk waists
ready made, Ind has two or three
skirts made to wear with them. Then
she can have q new dress every time
she goes out by changing either the
waist or the skirt, and vice versa.
How many combinations can be made
by wearing three waists and four
skirts, say, has never been calculated.
Particularly when it is considered that
q bit of lace or ribbon put on in an
artfully different way on waist will
make it look new, and thus increase
combinations-alm indefinitely.
1t is fun for the woman, but it is
hard on the dressmaker, who finds
herself confined almost. entirely tc
skirt making, and the "cutting and
fitting" in which she used to delight,
and for which she was we'll paid, il
falling into disure.
Dry goods stores find that theil
sales of dress goods are nothing like
SO heavy as they used to be. Th,
silk waist has driven out of sale man,
thousands of yards of dress goods il
New York within the last year o,
two.
And the silk waist craze is as vjrulen
rs ever. Like the jerseys of ten year;
ago, which had about the same effec
on the dressmakers and dress good
merchants, the silk waist threatens tc
last long time
In the meantime, it is doubtful
whether New York women were eve
more daintily attired than they ar,
this winter. Silk waists and shir
waists show woman or well.-Ney

THE BRIDAL VEIL.

In these days OF the new woman and
female league against everything that
our grandmotheys held most sacred,
one of the few customs which has so
far escaped public denunciation as de-
grading and derogatory to the rights
of the fair sex is that of wearing the
bridal veil. Perhaps it is that the new
woman does not marry, and SO it may
have escaped her attention. Yet

Miners Entombed.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa. June % .-The
excitement at the twin shaft in Pitts
ton where nearly 100 miners are en-
tombed, continues to-day. At the
mouth Of the shast, besides the wives
and children OF the entombed men,
there are hundreds Of persons who
are not residents of the Pittston, line
bnt visitors from Scranton and
Wilkesbarre. The wives and children
stand near the opening to the death
chamber, urging the rescuers to great
er efforts. Practically nothing has
been accomplished towards the re-
covery OF the men. There is scarce
ly all old miner about the opening of
the mine who, does not believe the
men are all dead.
The rescuing party that went. into
the mine at o'clock came out at 7.
The foreman reports that timbering
Ii going on as rapidly as possible.
The work is necessarily slow, owing
to the danger of falling rock, loosen.
ed by the explosion. 1t is hardly
possible that actual digging will be-
gin before late this afternoon. If the
slope is not completely choked with
debris, the rescuers may possibly be
able to reach the men within twenty
four hours. The rescuing party is
1900 feet from where the cave-iu &C.
cured.
The roof, which was Weakened by
the explosion, is i'll danger of falling
ut any moment. A survey of the
interior OF the mine this morning
shows the main stope blocked worse
than the officials care to admit. Water
began to drive into the stope and
threatens to drive out the rescuers.
1t ls thought to be surface water and
will soon cease to flow. Others think
that the water comes from the Sus-
quehanna river. II it is river water,
the whole mine will be flooded in a
short time and it will be months be-
fore the bodies can be got out.

IL u
Monday night at freeman Hail. The
people turned out en- masse TO listen
to the graduating exercises of the
class Of '96, the first from the county
high school.
The exercises began at 8 o'clock
with music by the orchestra after
which Rev. John Dawson offered a
prayer.
Miss Ernie F. Robinson then step
ped to the front and in clear, distinct
tones delivered the saiutatory. Her
words were well chosen and SO excel
lently rendered, that she made the
audience feel at home She followed
her welcome with a history of the
class. Taking up each member, she
gave the date of his or her entering
school and other interesting matter
connected with the class Us individu-
alshnd as whole. -
Miss Robinson was mtently listened
to and us she retired from the stage
was greeted with hearty round of
applause.
Next came solo by Mrs. Gertie
Graham, after which Charles e.
Mayer read an essay in which he por-
trayed the evil effects of yellow
backed literature on the minds of the
young. His essay was followed by
the class poem in which he pictured
i'll golden characters the future lives
Of the class of '96. Charley did we'll,
both in his essay and poem, and was
generously applauded.
MI. L. Wintermantei and Mrs.
Brush kept the audience in good
humor for n few minutes with their
excellent music.
Miss Jessie s. Kenser then read a
a very interesting essay on "a Good
Cause Makes u Good Heart" The
young lady read well and merited the
round Of applause she received at the
close Of her essay.
The orchestra played waltz. after
which Charles G.. Drown, the class
prophet, kept the audience in good
humor as he pictured the future lives
OF the members of the class. The
"rancher boy" did web and if he cnlt1-
Yates his prophetic faculties, may
some time astonish the world with his
revelations Of future events. His
prophecies were well received and
won him hearty round of applause.
Miss Clara M. Taber, the valedicto-
rian Of the class, followed with an
essay in which she set forth the proper
influences that should govern the
home. AT the conclusion of her essay
she delivered an excellent valedictory
to her teachers and schoolmates.
Miss Taber showed, both in her essay
and valedictory, that the honors Of
her class had been worthily bestowed.
Hearty applause greeted her as she
took her seat.
After music by the orchestra, Hon.
w. A. Massey stepped forward and in
9 few well chosen remarks presented
the diplomas to the graduates. DIR.
stubbs being detained in Reno by
sickness, Mr.. Massey also made a
short address to the 'cltlss.
Then followed tie singing OF the
class song by the graduates, the bene.
diction by Rev. M s. Riddle and the
graduating exercises OF the class of
'96 we're over.
There was 30 much noise during a
large portion Of the exercises that the
