Mfrrors in Gloves.

a mirror in the palm of the glove Is
the latest novelty. With its assistance
its owner is enabled to be sure that her
bonnet is on straight and also that her
curls are In perfect order. She can like
wise ascertain If her bow is at the most
becoming angle at the proper time.
All these things and hundred others
important from a feminine point of
view, she can find out on the street
without attracting the attention of pas
sersby with the aid of this simple con-
trivance.
The inventor of this device has so at
ranged the little lookingglass in the
palm of the glove as not to interfere
with the shutting of the hand. He has
likewise taken the percution of putting
it in the left hand glove, so that iwhen
its owner shakes hands with friend it
will not he observed.
1t is not the fair sex alone that will
find this ingenious continuance useful
Men are quite as vain as women, so the
latter claim, and will be seen by any OBJ
server to look at themselves in every
mirror they pass on the street.

The Idaho Legislature.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 27.-A number OF the
members of the Legislature are begin
ming to appear. the senatorshiP is the
absorbing topic among those who are
on the ground. There are great
number of candidates in the PoPulist
ranks. Judge w. II. Claggett is the
most prominent, but there is formida-
Bile opposition to him. Other poPulists
mentioned for the place are Texas An
gel, ]. w. Ballantire and P. Nj. Bruner
of Blaine county, N. M. Ruick of Ada,
c. w. Cooper of Canyon, John K.
Wester, George A. Williams, Frank
Walton and Ed. Boyce. While Claggett
is in the lead among the PoPulists, it
is claimed that very few of the demo
cratic fusionists will support him. 1t is
now well understood that the influence
of the democratic national authorities
is being used in the interest of Senator
Dubois. Whether or not the effort to
re-elect the senator will succeed in
probIematic, but it now seems likely
that the democrats will refuse to caucus
with the populists, both on organization
and on the senatorshiP.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 27-The most
horrible train wreck In the south since
the famous one at Statesville, s. c.,
some years since, occurred this morn
ing near this city, when a passenger
train crashed through a trestte TO
river no feet below.
1t is known that twenty lives were
lost, and most complete search of the
charred train may reveal more. 1t is
also most certain that the wreck was
caused by fends for the purpose Of ROD
berry.
of the persons on the train, nine es-
capped death; and several of these will
die of serious injuries. None of them
can give a correct and detailed account
of how the accident occurred.
The train was local on the Birming-
ham Mineral a branch of the Louisville
& Nashville system, its number being
40. 1t left Birmingham at o:3o a. m. to
make the daily circuit of the mining
towns in that section of the country,
and most of the persons on board were
miners and their families, taking advan-
tage of the excursion tickets on sale for
the holidays.
For part of the way the line uses
the tracks of the Southern Railway
company, and 1t was ou these twenty
seven miles from here that the accident
occurred.
In crossing the Cahaba river there is
an iron trestle, surmounted by wood
work, no feet above the water, which
at this stage is only four feat deep. The
bridge was built only four years ago,
and was always considered perfectly
safe. Il is 500 feet long, the main span
being no feet in length. This. with the
span next beyond, went into the river
with the train.
The engine fell at right angles to the
line of the bridge with the cars piled on
top of it and around it. Engineer White
was found with his charred hand still
grasping the throttle
To add fury and commotion to the
event, the flames from the stoves in the
coaches ignited the wreckage ana the
entire mass was burned to the edge of
the water. The only ore of the train
crew that escaped with his life from the
wreck was the colored fireman, Sam
Spencer. He jumped from the engine
while it was in mid-air and, falling into
the river, escaped almost by a miracle
with only broken arm. Wild with
fright, he fed for the nearest station to
give the alarm, but before he reached
there a farmer passing saw the condi-
ton of affairs and drove to a telegraph
station with his horse at fall sDeed
Messages were sent to this city and a
relief train went to the scene, but ere il
reached there the flames had done all
their work.

Dubois Chances.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 27.-Members of the
legislature are beginning to arrive. and
the senatorial ball is being setin motion
There is arumor afoat to the effect that
if the democrats violate the obligations
of the convention contract and enter
into combination with the silver re-
publicans or Duboisites, the PoPulists
will, in the campaign, form a comeina'
ton with the straight republicans.
The grounds for the rumor, however
are not stated.
It is conceded that Dubois has tan
chance CT winning.

Chasing the Dauntless.

Jacksonville. Dec. 29.-The steamer
Dauntless came up the St. Johns river
last evening with a revenue officer
aboard, who was in charge. While the
officer was ashore, the Dauntless put to

Abusing q Duke.

The Duke of NORFOLK is exceeding
ly fond of relating the following
tale: He entertained an excursion
party from London, some 1000
strong, at Arundel and presided
over the dinner. Before dinner an
amusing incident occurred. Warn
ings to keep off the grass We're much
in evidence and were much obeyed.
One person, in soft felt hat and
REFER jacket, was observed crossing
the sward.
"Come off the grassr' said wom-
an sharply. "'Tis the likes of you
that gets poor people bad name.
Can't you see it's forbidden9"
The person went on, smiling. But
the woman's surprise was laughable
to see when she found at the dinner
she had been abusing the duke him

Bay City Mich. March 3.-The war
ring faction of st. Stanislaus Polish
Catholic church has refused to turn
over the property to the sheriff or
deredr by Judge Maxwell
The sheriff gained admittance to the
premises, but a mob 500 strong, the ma
Jority being women, armed with clu bs
and boxes of pepper, refused to admit
the sheriff'S deputies.
Three deputies endeavored to relieve
the sheriff, but We're repulsed by the
angry mob, one deputy being badly
dubbed.
AT the immense meeting held by the
ants it was announced that Judge
Maxwell had decided to call on the gov
ernor for troops unless the ants sur
render. but the belligerents declared
they would hold the church against all
corners until the bishops returned to
them all the money they had paid into
the church. Late last night the sheriff
withdrew from the church premises,
leaving the mob in complete possession.

LEADING CITIZEN
Gives a Whole Half Block for
the Purpose.
Proposed Building to Cost From
$4,000 to $25O,OOO.

Kansas City, March 3.-Kansas City
is to have a fine public building to be
used as an auditorium for national and
state conventions. public entertain
ments and expositions, with seating
capacity of at least 10000.
The building is to cost at the least
estimate $4,000. and will more probably
be erected at a cost of nearly a quar-
ter of a million dollars.
One of the city's greatest needs a
hall of this character, is now certain Of
erection This has been brought about
through the generosity of one of Kan
SaS City'S oldest and best known resi-
dents, William Askew, who has given
to the people of the city tract OF
ground 22213x2S0 feet in extent at Sew
enth street, Lydia avenue and Grove
street, to be sued for this purpose. The
offer was made yesterday afternoon at
a joint meeting of the directors of the
Priests of Pallas and the ComnDerciaI
club. The generous gift was accepted
with a rising vote of thanks at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
night at which the Priests of Pallas
directors were present
The stipulation made by Mr.. Askew
in his donation of the ground is that
the building to be erected thereon must
cost not less than $4,000 The property
was given to the people, he said, for
public gatherings, and for the further
purpose of perpetuating the Priests OF
PallaS organization by furnishing it
with Suita bic, permanent home for
its annual ball. The provision is made
that the building shall be maintained
and controlled by board of 10 trus-
tees the board to be continuous and all
vacancies to be filled by the board
When President Watson of the Com
merical club read the offer of Mr.. AskeW
there was enthusiastic applause, and on
motion of Ira c. Hubben every one
present rose to express a vote of thanks
to the donor. a. E. StilweI al once Of
fered IS, 900 to start the fund for the
erection of the building. This was fol-
lowed by an offer OF $1,000 by J. VIII
Merrill. Several speeches were made
in laudation of Mr.. Askew. Mr. Still
wells remarks. which ended with his
offer to give $4,000 toward the project,
were received with enthusiasm.
1T seems said Mr.. Stilwen that
Kansas City has just begun to grow.
This gift of Mr.. Askew will do as much
toward promoting the city's interests
as could have been done by anything
1t ranks with the presentation to the
city of SWOpe park and the gift of the
nucleus of an art gallery by Colonel
Nelson, and I pledge myself to give
if there is any public-spirited citizen
who will donate the ground for the
building will see that Colonel Nelson's
art collection is suita bly, housed"
The idea of President Loomas of the
Priests of Pallas is that the building
should be about 200x225 feet, but he says
no plans have been made
A building of the kind which the
projectors of the public enterprise in
neighborhood of 5000 900. No doubt t
all is expressed but that over $50. 900.
MIR. ASkew's stipulation, Will easily be
raised.
