SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 25-The few
developments in the strike situation since
yesterday were favorable to the strikers.
Three additional colleries were. closed to-

fcent to operate them. They are the
Park Place, Preston No. 8 and the Law

marches and regimental parades.

Made Ter Account Good.

II was only dainty little note from
a woman deposition, but it caused q
gentle ripple of merriment among the
accountants and tellers of an uptown
bank. The institution caters to wom-
en-, and the president has often remark
ed that the women depositors were in
some respects more careful in their
business methods than the men. A
few days ago the discovery was made
that the account of one Of the women
depositors had been overdrawn a few
dollars. The usual notification in such
cases was sent to the depositor, with
the request that the account be made
good. A prompt and polite reply was
received from the delinquent. She
apologized for the overdraft, thanked
the bank officers for informing her of
the fact so courteously-and inclosed
her check on the same bank for the
amount of the overdraft. 1t is needless
to say that an explanatory note was
sent to this depositor reminding her
that an overdraft was not a credit to
be drawn upon.-New York CONNER

Boiling Our Food.

There is undoubtedly a great deal to
be said in favor of the opinion that a
considerable portion OF the illness in
this country is caused by the unpleas-
ant habit Of eating too rapidly. OF
coure we all know, and have at times
very painful experience of, the fact,
that this is a high-pressuro age, and
all is done at express speed, but this
surely ought not to be the case with
cur meals. 1t is interesting, but not
pretty, to watch the business man
when he goes into a restaurant for his
luncheon. 1t is with him looked upon
in the light Of a duty and not q
pleasure. lie must eat, and he feels
that he has only a few minutes to de-
vote to the operation, so that he may
be back at his Office with all possible
speed. He attacks his food savagely,
gulps down his beer or wine, and when
the last sad rites are over he pays and
bolts-in fact, it is a case of boiling
from beginning to end Every doctor
will tell you that people should cat
slowly, and occupy the time pleasantly
with conversation. In this way we
shall live longer and enjoy bette,
health and greater ability to cope with
the world.

Not only was Rob received with en-
thusiasm by his uncle, aunt and cous-

rendered the government. The BLACK

RICH IN RESOURCES
Some Splendid Opportunities Are Open
In the Australian Colonies.


Queensland is practically undevel-
oped as yet, and it is only 40 years old,
that having been the time since its
separation as a colony. 1t contains
nearly 100000 square miles, and has
only 100000 population. North Queens
land has a population of only 100000,
and yet it IS an exceedingly rich sec
ton in natural resources. Charter
Towers, 50 miles west Of Townsville,
the principal gold mining section, pro-
duced 457,S5 ounces OF gold in 1898,
OF the value of S5,7S4,720, and the total
output of gold for the colony during
the past year was 920,O4S ounces, val
ued at S13,751,775. The colony has
produced, up to date, minerals to the
value of $4,000 900. Copper, silver tin,
etc, are some OF the minerals existing
in large quantities. Within the next
few years there will be a tremendous
output of copper, as a railroad is being
built to the very rich Chilagoe mines.
North Queensland is a great grazing
country, and as the climate and the
abundance of native grasses are all ia
voTable to grazing, the profit on sheep
and cattle is very large. There are
numbers Of sheep ranches on which
there are 100 900 sheep, one of which
has 100000 head. Cattle raising is
also extensively engaged in, the eX-
ports of cattle from the northern por-
ticn of the colony alone being $500
head day for ten months in the year.
A herder can sell cattle at-with
proft-S5 a head, and when he gets
$40, as he often does, the profit is very
great.-Cincinnati Commercial-Trib

Insects Committing Suicide.

1t is stated that insects have been
known deliberately to kill themselves
under certain forms of torture or prov
ocation. Experiments have been tried
upon wasps, which are extremely SEN
sitive to benzine and dislike the odor
very much. A tumbler was sprinkled
with benzine, then inverted over a
wasp, which at once attacked bit OF
paper that was under the glass. Final
ly the wasp appeared to become des-
perate. He threw himself on his back,
bent himself together and drove his
sting three times into his body, then
hs died. Repeated trials convinced the
scientists that wasps would under these
circumstances, take their own lives, as
several Of them got out of their IN
comfortable atmosphere in this way.

glad TO see Rob alive that he even
overlooked his statement about Lemuel
Starne.
Il have important news for you,"

and Cousin Elsie, then l want to tell
you something"
The earnest air Of the young fellow
impressed Mr.. Horton, and he led the
way to the dining room. The in
spector, readily seeing that there was
nothing for him to do there, had the
grace to depart.

keep a constant watch Here was

Rob soon told his experience, and

An officer in uniform was called in,
and the story was told to him.
Rob went home with his uncle, and
they sat up late that night listening to
his recital, over and over again, Of his
adventures with Starne and Elvin,
and on board the "Black Cat"
What panied them most was to learn
that Lemuel Starne, the man whom
they had trusted, and who had almost
succeeded in winning the regard of
Elsie, was such a villain.
Rob told his uncle of the promise he
had made to the crew of the BLACK
Cat" and Mr.. Horton assured him that
it would be substantiated by the presi-
dent.
There was little need of proceeding
to any extent to identify Rob, for Mr..
Horton recognized him from the photo
graph sent from New York. And IL
any further Identification should prove
necessary, there was time enough for
that in the future.
Mr.. Horton had taken all Rob's
things from the Royal Mall" and he
was soon clad in a trim New York
outfit. AS he was taking leave of the
now soiled Spanish jacket he felt in
the pockets, and there he found the
