The old superstition that disasters come
by threes is illustrated in the matter of
the recent great fires. First, there was
the confagration in London last week.
shortly followed by the great fire in Paris,
and the third disaster of the kind was re-
ported yesterday from Melbourne.

they are, will be changed soon. But it is
possible that the progress of the coun-

he left that humble institution, where he
had been considered an uncommony bright

over his spccuntions, he took II half holiday

The man in France who has probably
killed more human beings than any
other person in the world is M. Dieb-
Ter. popularly known as Monsieur de
Paris, and he Is about to resign his
offics as the public executioner OF
France with a record of 502 official
deaths to his credit He is very old.
his hand trembles, and his extensive
services should give him the right OF
rest. His achievements are known to
all. He has dealt more than 500
wounds, all of which have been fatal,
but not for him. Lately 1t was noticed
that he has become enfeebled; he had
no longer the skill, the smartness of
his youth. At his 502d execution at
Nancy the other day. he very nearly
bungled the ceremony, and the people
of that province are very particular.
In few days, possibly even tomorrow.
the grewsome identity of Monsieur do
Paris will have fallen upon another
than Mr.. Diebler. who will retire from
the world. known simply as IN. Nor
eau" good. honest citizen. living on
small yet sufficient income. NJ. Dieb-
Ter has been an executioner for thirty
eight years. From 1858 to 1863 he as
sisted Rech, his predecessor, in eighty
two executions, and then became exc
cutioner des hautes oeuvres himself.
He is now 73 years of age. II such a
term be permissible, 1t may be said
that he is the most popular bourreau
that France ever had, and he has very
seldom been placed in an embarrassing
position on the scaffold. In personal
appearance, NJ. Diebler has been an
ideal Monsieur de Paris" with his
black beard iron gray hair dark mourn
full eyes and pale visage. He always
dresses in black. with long frock coat
and tall silk hat. His domestic life has
been quiet, as might naturally be sup
posed, and his wife, who died few
months ago, was a delicate, refined and
well bred woman, hardly the spouse
that one would expect to find in the
home of Monsieur de Paris" Nine.
Diebler was the daughter Of the execu-
tioner of Algiers.

THE WANTS OF RAILWAYS.
building and Equipment Draws on Nearly
Every Line of Industry.


Those who say the railway question
does not affect them are often thought
less persons. The prosperity of our
railways affects in one way or another
the whole country. Our railways first
of all represent an actual money capi-
tai Of one-fifth of the assets OF the re-
public. One out Of every five dollars
we possess as nation. Our railways
employ, or would employ today II pros
porous, over one million persons df-
rect at good wages. One out Of every
twenty-five of the population working
for living. Our railways indirectly
employ many thousands more, and in
one form or another add to the reve-
nue. of another million. Those who
doubt this should look over the daily
wants of these great distributors of
work and wages. The wants of rail-
roads, according to the observation of
a gentleman connected with trans
portatron enterprises, are only second
to those of women, which some French
philosopher has said no man can ever
hope to supply. To the casual observer
all that a railroad wants is roadbed,
ties, steel rails, cars and engines to
pull them. But growing out of these
general features are demands for ma
terials of such variety that the cata-
logue OF the purchasing agent (who, as
his name implies, has charge OF max
ing the necessary purchases for the
railroad), is good-sized volume
wherein are named several hundred ar
ticles In more or less constant use by
the corporation. Here are a few Of
the articles taken from this list: Axes.
adzes, acid, antimony, ammonia, bell
cord, bone-black, cour ale tused for
mixing up cores for castings), burn
ers, books, beeswax, chain, cement,
chimneys. chairs. clocks, cushions. coal
hods, dippers, disinfectant, envelopes,
flag signals. firebrick, fuse cotton,
globes, gold leaf, gasoline, hose. hinges,
hair, hektographs, knives. mops, muci-
lage, marking pots, naphtho, oakum.
paint, plush punches, powder, plum
hago, pins, rubber, rope, saws, snakes,
shorts, soap, sandpaper, solder, tow.
turpentine, time directors, tally covers.
wick and wheelbarrows. This list Is
large, but 1t does not cover more than
one-quarter Of the articles mentioned
In the catalogue referred to. So before
you say the railway question has no
interest for you, think little. No
American citizen can afford to see
these great properties stricken down.
They reach all over this broad domain
of ours, and distribute money and en-
ploy labor and build up communities
everywhere. Give the railways q
chance.-GaZette.

TO CONSIDER A STRIKE.
A Meeting of Coal Miners to BE Held at
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July la delegate conyen-
ton Of coal miners of the Pittsburg
district has been called for next Sat
urday BY District President Dolan. at
which the miners viii decide whether
or not a strike shall be inaugurated for
a higher rate. The call says all miners,
organized and unorganized. VIII be en-
Titled to representation. President Do
Ian said:
"There will be no strike of miners at
this time unless the convention decides
in favor of such action. If a strike is
iBaugurated in the Pittsburg district,
there is no doubt that the diggers in
all other mining states will join in the
movement"
1t seems that a general strike order
was to hive been issued, contingent on
certain circumstances. These circum-
stances had not developed, and the
plans of the leaders were spoiled by
the premature report that the order had
been issued. There is a growing SEN
timent on the part Of the miners to
strike, and 1t is probable that but lit
tie coal viii be dug in the Plttsburg
district after Monday.
