HOUSEHOLD INVENTORY.
An Admirable Idea for Keeping Track
of Ones BelOnRinps.

VI Ohes boiOhSinRS.
One of the latest aids toward SIM
plifying ones responsibilities is the In
ventory of Household Goods, which is
in the form of small pamphlet, de-
signed for the use of housekeepers who
are going to rent their flats furnished,
send their goods to storage warehouses
or insure them, or for those systematic
women who demand such list for the
peace of their souls. These inventories
are very comprehensive and should be
part of every well regulated house-
hold. A page is devoted to each sep
arate room-parlor, library, dining
room, kitchen, bed rooms, bath room,
etc. Under different captions are
spaces for the number of each article
IS chairs, 2 sofas, etc.; their values,
descriptions, location. Not a kitchen
utensil is omitted; not pie of brio
a-brac, or soap dish. Whoever is re-
sponsible for the making of the lists
has done the work In thorough man
ner. At the back of the book are some
odd pages, for fuller description Of
the bric-a-brac and the books, so that
a detailed description may be written
and books named by title, binding, etc.
Whoever has wrestled with the horrors
of packing and unpacking or with the
absolute ignorance that assails one
after fire as to the extent of loss will
be gratefully conscious of the possess
chm ne ono Of these aide Tn ypo,,,orv
and to a good temper.

"Kismet" one day the housemaid was
dressing the room, when her mistress
appeared.
"Sure, ma 'am would you moind tell
in me the mainin' of this writin' on

"Kismet means fate" replied the
lady.
''Shure, and is that it?" remarked

"Why, what is the matter with you,

DEATH IN A TUNNEL.

Eleven Men Killed by an ExploSion OF
Gas IN the Water Works Tunnel At
Cleveland, 5000 Fest out Under tho
Lake-Fhe second Fatality During Its
Contraction.
CLEVELAND, o., July 1.-THE lives
OF eleven men were snu1ed out in the
twlnkling of an eye this evening in the
big water works tunnel that Is being
constructed under the bottom Of Lake
Erie, as the result of an explosion Of
gas.
Following are the names Of those who
were Killed: John Parks. foreman, 80
years of age, and single; James Parks,
brother Of John, 30 years old, and sim
gle; John FradeY, italian, 20 years old.
and single; Tony Brunetti. Italian. %
years old and single; John -, Ital-
ian, IS years old and single; Emerson

ried; William Tucker. colored, 26 years
old and single; Gus Wattz, % years old;
wife and several children; Frank Glenn
ents, married, with several children;
Frank Haney, married, aged %.
The tunnel Is an immense AFFAIR, be-
ing projected to extend outward from
the shore for a distance OF four and
half miles, and 1t has been under con-
struetIon for more than q year. The
work has been attended with great DIFF
ficulty. About six weeks ago there was
an explosion Of gas In the shore end OF
the big hole, which killed eight men and
injured number of others. Soon AZ
terward a big pocket OF quicksand was
struck and work was stopped for some
time. The contractors then asked Tor
permission to defect the course OF the
tunnel from the route fixed by the city
engineers, but 1t was refused. The
work was finally resumed and had pro-
gressed uneventfullT until this evening
when this latest and most horrible ac-
cident came.
The explosion occurred at few min
utes before Z o'clock this evening, but
nobody will be able to tell what caused
It, or how II happened, for every witness
Is dead and the bodies Of all are lying
where they fell, 5000 feet out under
the lake. The only man IN the tunnel
who escaped death Is Con o'Donnell. a
lock tender, who was stationed 300
feet from the shore. He heard the e&-
ploslon, or series Of explosions. He says
there were ten OF the shocks and the
conclusion was something terrible, for
& threw him OF his feet. and four hours
he was in such a dazed condition that
he could scarcely remember what had
occurred. He finally CROPPED his way
out and told what had happened.
Two men. Patrick Vonseer and Mar
tin McCauley, were the first to venture
into the tunnel after the accident occur
red. They made their way to a lock,
300 feet from the shore, but were there
overcome by the gas and fell to the
floor. When they failed to return
young man named James Clements. son
OF one Of the men who was killed, and
who was employed as a mule driver,
went to their rescue. He found them
almost unconscious lying over a mule
cart and succeeded In helping them to
the well at the shore end =. the tunnel.

lights were out beyond the 5000 foot
lock and that they could not 90 any
