Who Was the Girl?

A funny thing happened 10 a young
lady Of the town. She was attending
church Sunday evening, and, sitting
jus, in front of her, she saw tall,
handsomely dressed stranger With
piece of white lint, or raveling, hang
ing over his coat collar.
Being IA lady of an accommodating
disposition-one Of the warm hearted,
whole-souled girls vino gIDow to be
motherly old ladies, friend to every
body in town-she thought how glad
she would be if some kind-hearied girl
would do as much for her father if he
would come to church with raveling
hanging down his back. Besides this
thing worried her and ruined the
otherwise immaculate appearance
presented by the broad neck and well
built shoulders Of the stranger, SO as
the congregation rose for prayer she
concluded TO pick it off.
Carefully raising her hand she gave
twitch, but there was more Of it than
she supposed, and a foot or more of
the thread appeared. Setting her teeth
she gave another long pull and about
yard more of the thread hung down
his back. This was embarrassing, but
with grim determination to do or die
she gave another yank and found she
was unraveling his undershirt. 1t is
needless to say that her embarrassment
was then so painful that chloroform
could not have alleviated her suffering
nor pint of powder hidden her blush
es when the gentleman turned with an
enquiring look to see what was tick
ling his neck.-Seaford News.

THIS FARM HAS ITS OWN
COLD STORAGE PLANT.
Peculiar Freak of Nature BY Which
Blast of Cold Air Comes Gut of
a Cave,

George Stafford, farmer and coun-
try school trustee, residing on the Will
liams road, six miles east of Cumber-
land Md, while in Cumberland told of a
remarkable freak of nature on his
farm, in Allegany county.
A cave dug years ago, used for pre-
serving vegetables and other edibles,
kept them so cool that Mr.. Stafford's 5
sons concluded that there was cool
spring near the surface. In June last
the boys started to dig, but were
amazed to find the ground frozen so
hard that they could not penetrate it.
In August another attempt was made
but the ground was found to have
thawed only two inches, being frozen
hard beyond that point One day this
week third attempt to dig was made,
to find the condition of THE ground un-
changed. Mr. Stafford is of the opin-
ion that there is lake of ice under
the ground.
He says the soil is of the gravel
variety and the ground is frozen until
there are big cracks out of which cold
air rushes in great volume

Hinsley, colored. Ford recently gave
Hinsley notice to move out of the

before a magistrate and obtaining a
writ, Bowen summoned two men and
went to Hinsleys house and ordered
him to move. Hinsley demanded that
he see the proper papers and because
Bowen was unable to show them he
refused to move.
Then Bowen with his two deputies
forced their way into the house and
moved out THE household goods
Hinsley brought suit before Magis-
trate Cooper for trespass with the re-
suit above mentioned.

SERIOUS FIRE IN STABLES
CONQUERED BY FIREMEA.
Most Damaging Blaze in Recent
Years Kept Down to a Few
Frame Buildings.

The business affairs of Dover were
brought to a standstill at 5 80 o'clock
Wednesday evening by The most
threatening fire in recent years, which
broke out in block of livery stables
at North street and Governors avenue.
The stables were all filled with hay
straw land feed, and this made the fire
all the more obstinate and unap-
proachable
Alfred Leverage, in whose livery
stables the fire originated, places his
loss at $500; Mrs. Elias Reed of Buena
Vista, N j., owner of the stables, at
$1,000; Steven Martindale, owner OF
The adjoining dwelling house, at $500;
Samuel Wharton, owner, and George
Bogart, tenant of the next house, $400;
Samuel Wharton, owner of an adjoin-
ing stable, $500; Miss Sadie Green,
cwner of stables adjacent, 5000. John
Satterfeld's stables, worth 5000, were
also destroyed.
The Robbins Hose Company hurried
to the scene, and, l2sststed by hundreds
of citizens, saved the adjoining prop
critics and fought down the fire.
Occupants of the houses on North
street, several of them having caught
Attire, were moved out, their goods
being placed in the First Presbyterian
Church Professional men ruined
their clothing in toiling side by side
with laborers to save property and life
Two neighbors, Mrs. James and
Mrs. BARLEY were stricken with heart
disease and were lin a serious condition
but are apparently well again. Sam
uel Wharton, who, Though very i'll, had
to be moved, seems not to have suffer
ed seriously.
George Clendaniel was injured while
at work on the roof. A horse in the
Leverage stables was twice brought
out as far as the door but madly
fought its way back into the flames
where it perished.

AGAINST Mr.. M'KINLEY.
Prayer Pledges for Defeat of the Man
In the White House Are Greatly
in Demand.

A despatch from Indianapolis says:
The endless prayer chain" plan
which has been inaugurated BY the
ladies of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union here, against President
McKinley's election lis awakening
echoes from all parts of the country,
and Mrs. Mary E. Balch, secretary of
the womian's organization, announces
that formal action will be taken to
extend the scheme and give it the en-
dorsement of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union.
Mrs. Balch declares the demand for
the pledges lis enormous, and the
movement at this early time has
spread beyond the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and has supporters
among the women of many organiza-
tions. AS she expresses it, "It has the
endorsement of the rank and file of
women"
Mrs. Balch has information that
hundreds Of women are praying daily
for the defeat of the man in the White
House. She expects that the move
ment will spread rapidly, owing to the
attention called in the newspapers in
all parts of the country to the scheme
Mrs. Balch says that the prayers OF
the women are for John G. Woolley,
who is the only man that has promised
to down the saloon if elected.
