The Great English Military Commanders
Way of Making Friends.
An incident happened some years ago
in the cafe of a restaurant of rather good
class in the city Of Dublin, which is an
apt illustration of how gentleman oan
place himself on footing of equality with
an inferior in station without sacrificing
his dignity. At that time, and probably
the same narrow minded spirit and ultra
snobbishness exists there still 1t was the
habit for the proprietors of the better class
barrooms to refuse to serve drinks to pri-
vAte soldiers 1t was immaterial how well
behaved they might be or how they might
rank as noucommissioned officers the rule
was intleXlble.
On the occasion referred to two finely

said nothing, but turning on their heels,

the two men had attracted the attention
OF the guests, among whom were three or
four who were sitting together quietly
smoking at one Of the tables The men
had almost reached the door when one of
the smokers arose, calling out sharply,

The habit of obedience TO the command

RAILWAY COLLISIONS,
Several Hours Required to Clear mp Wreck
age of Cars,


The cNcursionists bound for Lakeside this
morning did not leave town until about AN
hour after the time fixed for departure, ow.
ing to an accident atMahanoy Plane due to
a collision.
p. & Il. engine NO ss3 and three cars were
standing at Gilhertou at an early hour this
morning preparatory to shifting cars at the
Draper Colicry when train No. II, fast
freight, ran into it. The conductor. engineer
and fireman of the shifting crew jumped to
save themselves and, with the exception of a
sprained ankle sustained by Conductor
Crosby, escaped injury.
The impetus given them by the collision
sent the shifting engine and cars at rapid
speed to Mahanoy Plane At the water
tank the Shenandoah local freight train was
standing and before it could be pulled to a
place of safety the runaway train from
Gilberton ran into it, wrecking four ears
badly. The delay to traffic only lasted about
an hour, but il took six hours to clear away
the debris. Traffic delay was avoided by
running trains through the round house.

'cotton" goods, We have again reduced
our price on wool bunting flags down to a
close second in price of the "couon" flags.
