favorable impression on the audience -
'by his ightforward, dignified and

The faith of Rev. Claude G. Langford,
pastor of the First Baptist church at
Pttston in the sincerity of beggars, was
rudely shaken on Sunday. After the
morning service a seedy-ooking indivi-
dual made his appearance at the church,
and, calling the pastor aside, told the
latter a pitiful story of hardship and
suffering. Mr.. Langford's pity was
aroused and he took the fellow home
and gave him dinner.
Some time later he discovered that his
overcoat and gold watch belonging to
Mrs. Langford had disappeared. The
matter was reported to the police au-
thorities of Pittston, but Mr.. Langfprd' S
guest has not yet be found.

Nearly Smothered to Death.

Robert Major, a thirtcen-y ear-old
Avoca boy, had an experience on Mon
day that he will not readily forget. He
is an employe in the Central breaker of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company, and
was sent into the pea coal pocket to
shovel coal. While buSily engaged at
his work IA car was run under the
pocket, the gate opened, and the coal
drawn therefrom. In moment Rob
felt himself slowly but surely being
drawn under as if he were in the tolls
of quickSand.
Realizing that he was likely to be
smothered he gave loud cry, and then
knew no more until some minutes after
being drawn through the open gate
His cries were heard by the men who
were drawing the coal. and they, sur
missing what was the trouble, opened
wide the gate and let the coal (the car
being fulD fall upon the track.
Soon the boys legs appeared and they
were quickly seized by the willing hands
and the boy pulled through the open
gate and restored to consciousness. He
had been under the coal three and one
half minutes and his injuries consisted
OF bad cut over the eye and bruised
chest.

Tion of 1892, and neither such literary
hopes as he may have begun to cherish
nor the still unsolved problem of his
chances of distinction at the bar were
enough to keep him from plunging into
the political conflict. He became the
liberal candidate for the Wycombe di-
vision of Buckinghamshire, the scene of
Benjamin DiSraeli's electoral contests
during the greater part of his career
y liberal victory was thing almost
unheard of in Bucks for 60 years, and
a tory had been sitting for the division
for nearly septennal period, with a
majority of more than 1000 ut his
back; but Mr.. Hope, seemingly remem-
6ering nothing but the eXhilarating eX-
reriences and animating hopes of the
days of the Oxford Union Debating So
ciety, pitted himself against Lord Cur
aon, the outgoing tory member; and to
see him before the electors in the hot
work of political exposition and COM
bat you would have thought that this
mans one ambition in life was to make
a great career in the house of commons,
and to find place by and by in the
front ranks of craftsmanship At the
end of fierce contest he found him
self beaten by the conservative lord,
by majority of more than 1000, the
only consolation in point of figures be-
ing that the noble lords majority was
something less than that by which he
had gained the seat at the previous
general election.
Then the young author quietly with
drew from the political arena, Two
years later he had abandoned the bar
and given himself over wholly, for the
time at any rate, to the profession of
letters. He had jumped league into
fame as the author of The Prisoner of
Ionda;' everybody was talking of the
fascinating novelty of The Dolly Dia-
logues, and other samples, with
the fresh dew upon them, of
his light handiwork, appearing
in the pages of periodical liz
erature; and it may be taken as a
token of how far he has gone, in alb
juring the allurements generally Of the
political or the platform career that in
going across the water he does not pro
pose lecturing, or exposition, or rhet-
nric of any kind, but simply to enact
scenes from his works Of fiction"

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Beige eolors and all shades of drnb
have caught the popular fancy at last.
Paris is tired of the outspread skirt
and already there is looming in the
distance the clinging, dragging pattern
of picturesque and untidy memory.
Velvet flowers are in favor at the
present moment and dahlias and chrys-
apthemums are cleyerly copied and
make beautiful decorations for ball
gowns.
The new blouse, with short basques
drawn in round the waist, with hand
some belt of gold or. silver gallon set
with cabochons or else belts of gold
smiths work set on velvet, with beauti-
ful buckles or clasps, is made in velvet
plush or mirror velvet, richly trimmed
or in woolen material broche with two
colors.
Partisan blouses show the minute
tucking which seemingly cannot be
done outside the French capital. One
handsome blouse made for royalty is
of red surah, with rows of tucks and
plain pieces between in lengthwise
lines. Others are made with tucked
epaces across and some have a deep
folded piece over the belt which may be
stylish, but is not becoming.
