Bath Times: Laugh and grow fat,
Americans and Maine-iacs. 1t is by
becoming morbidly serious. usually,
that one falls victim to the mania OF
self destruction. Even the worst of ills
and all circumstances may be borne if
one but cultivates cheerfulness OF
mind. In Maine, even, suicides have
become so common that ordinary af-
fairs of self destruction are being
given small heads and the bottom of
the column.

"Oh. very wcll-give me some brandy

1t was some time before Standish could

When he awoke the sun was high in

When dressed and ready it was nearly
half-past eight, and taking his hat he SAL

AS he strolled slowly toward the hut
where Old Jack, the boatman, sheltered
himself among his boats, drawn mp beside

had spent on the beach with Mabel and
Dorothy, the previous autumn.
Standish found Old Jack seated in the
stern of one of his boats, smoking IA very
black pipe, and looking out so earnestly
toward the east hcadland that he did not
hear the approaching step.
Good morning, Jack"
"Eh? Mr.. Standish! mornin'. sir

Standish accepted the old mans invita-
ti0n. and. lighting Il cigar, took his seat
beside him. A long spell of silence en-
sued.
Time went very slowly, and Stan,ish
vas quite surprised VIXEN half-past nine

putting up his battered glass again. "Ha

"Do," said Standish eagerly, "and I'll

pull"
Standing M. old Jack Goold shouted
.ong and loud the name of the boat taken
out by Col. Callandcr that morning,
Lively Peggy. ahoy!!"
In vain; there was not even an echo to
reply.
Then he returned to his oar. saying
simply, Lets make straight for the
Head"
So they rowel on and on. and round and
about, but no trace of the Lively Peggy
nor her Oursman was to he seen.
Never did Standish lose the profound
impression of that weary row, the sicken-
ing fear which grew upon him, the hope
l~essness and sinking of the heart.
AT Inst Jack Goold said s%ullenly and
h%oaraely. We'd hest get back, sir. l
don't see how We can do any good. We'd

much agitation. Won don't mean to say
you do not think Col. Callandcr is in her:'
II don't mean nothing. Mr.. Standish;
only it looks baddish seeing no sign of

The old man presently hailed the tug,
which ran down to them. Standish clam
bcrcd on hoard, but the old boatman
thought it better to return to his station,
in case they had, by any accident, missed
the object of their search, hoping to find
his boat and its occupant alike beached
and safe.
1t would take much time and space to
describe the growing fears with which
Standish paced the tugs dirty deck, or

Accused Dreyfus OF Treason. (,
Lieut.. Col. Henry OF the French army
VINO was one OF the principal accusers Of,
Captain Dreyfus, killed himself in Paris
twenty-four hours after his arrest for for.
gerry and perjury. He cut his throat with
q razor which he had copcealed in his va
use when taken to prison.
He had confessed that he forged n Of
the letters upon which Dreyfus was con-
victed. The letter purported to reveal
secrets of the French Government, and
Dreyfus was accused Of being in the pay
OF Germany. Henry admitted to the
minister OF war that his testimony in the
Zola-Dreyfus trials was false. His CON-
fession was so complete that 1t virtually
upsets the entire case against Dreyfus,
md the Government has virtually pr0mis-
cd a new trial. Henry's only attempt to
justify his conduct was the statement
That he thought the honor of the French
army required the conviction of Dreyfus.
Col. Henry was to be tried by court-mar-
tial.
Col. Henry was attached to the War
Department when he helped by his for
gerry and perjury to convict Dreyfus, and
he was one Of the prominent witnesses
who testified ~unfavorably to NJ. lola dur
ing the latter's sensational trial on the
charge of libeling military officials. The
victory for ZoIa is IN unqualified one. The

COOL COUNSEL PREVAILS.

Violence by Leaders.

violence by Leaders,.
Only the earnest pleading Of JOIN.
Mitchell, William Topham and other of.
Gals of the Coal Miners Union prevented
an armed demonstration against the
Springside coal shaft at Pana, ILL.,, the
other afternoon. David j. Overholt and
Lewis j. Overholt, the president and sup.
~erintcndent Of the company that has fifty
negroes Mt work, were captured by twenty
OF the striking miners and marched to-
ward the shaft. Rev. DIR. A. Willard, an
aged Baptist minister, received severe in
juries while trying to rescue the Over
hollis. He was knocked down with a re-
volvcr, his nose and jay being broken. In
tcrnal injuries were sustained and he may
not recover.
The miners, 700 or 500 strong, upon
hearing of the affair, left their headquar-
ters, where they had been in session, and
hurried toward the collicry, the State Off
cials following. They overlook the mob
half way out and secured from David j,
Overholt n note advising Sheriff Coburn
to ALLOW the negroes to confer with the
union men. The operators behaved brave
~ and were well treated after the union
officials arrived. Sheriff Coburn met the
committee of citizens and miners who
bore the note at the edge of the mine
property. The negroes and deputies occu-
pied strong positions behind hastily
thrown up barricnles Of logs. Coburn de-
cilned to honor the request, giving MS his
excuse that the Overholts were not the
mine owners. He sent back a note nd
dressed TO John Mitchell demanding the
surrender of the captivcs. Mitchell re-
piled he had nothing to do with the mat
ter.
The miners then held a meeting and
were addressed by Mitchell, William
Wright of C%artcrville, William Orphan
OF Danvillc and others. Al urged peace
and no violence. The men were for start
ing again toward the mine. They wanted
to make. the Overholts march in front and
would have done so had not the cooler
headed mel prevailed. The crowd of arm
ed men surged back and forth around the
Ove'siolts, who We're well guarded, and
the mob several times was on the point
of starting for the shaft. The officials of
inc miners union. not desiring trouble,
managed to induce the more frantic men
70 listen to reason. Some one cried: LET
Us havc a PARADE" and with a cheer the
men moved toward the business part Of
town, with the Overholts in the front
line. AT Schuylcr's bank the crowd halt
ed n the prisoners were taken into the
presidents private Office. where they con-
ferred for a time with the principal Off
Gals of the miners union. In half an
hour they were released and hurried to
the shaft. The men paradcd the street,

Its Peculinrities of Construction Make
Its Great Curiosity.
The triangular bridge Mt Croyland,
in Lincolnshire. is probably not only
the most ancient bridge in England,
but. OH recount of its peculiar con-
struction, one of the greatest curlosi-
ties in Europe. 1t is built in the mid.
die Of the town at the confluence OF
! the Welland and the Meme. The plan
of the bridge is formed by three
squares and an equilateral triangle,
about which they IRE placed. 1t has
three fronts, three thOroughfares over
and three under it. There are the
same number of abutments Mt equal
distances, from which rise three half
arches, each composed of three ribs
meeting in the center mt the top. Seen
from any point of view n pointed arch
appears in front.
.Antiquarics-often fanciful writer's
have suggested that the piece of ma
sorry was built as an emblem of the
Holy Trinity; for, though the bridge
possesses three arches, it yet properly
has but one groincd arch. More mat
ter-of-fact archaeological authors hold
the structure to have been designed as
Il startling place for measuring ecclesi-
astical boundaries, with the additional
utility of forming n support for a mar
ket crOss
An exceptionally interesting feature
of the bridge is a much-weather-worn
eftigy, traditionally said to he a rep
rcsentation of King Ethelbald. The
rudeness of the design, the uncouth-
ness of the headdress and drapery,
lead to the conclusion Of the efigy be-
ing a genuine Saxon sculpture. Placed
in a sitting posture at the end of the
southwest wall, the figure is embel-
lished with n crown. In one of Ed.
