SPINSTERS' CONVENTION.

A"O NPAAOCSAo |
North Carolina that met in the
Messenger Opera House last
Friday was greeted by one of the
audiences of the season
and from the "roll call" to the
last number On the programme
there was not a dull moment, and
every member of the convention
distinguished herself, and the
variety Of the programme kept
the audience constantly interested
and hilariously delighted.
On the whole the convention
was a great success, financially,
socially, and-well, we doubt not
that the Ger cent of matrimonial
alliances following directly upon
the open avowals last night will
be large.
The hit of the evening was the
following original poem read by
one Of the Spinsters amid great
enthusiasm:
Sisters all of the Spinsterhood,
[ come to bring you tid1ngs good.
The way has been long and rough
thus far,
For some of us night with no sin
gle star.
But hear now this list of anne on
my roll,
Let them Sink into your Utmost
soul.
Who says there is cause to grieve or
NOPE?
For remember, "While there is
life, there's hope"
Are there not still young men galore?
Can you in reason ask more?
If on Tom Robinson you will call,
You will meet a druggist, admired
by all.
Or wishing a beau, polite and clever,
You will find him Just as sweet
as ever
Oh Ed, dear Ed, it's time you e
wed.
There's no girl in town could with
stand you.
IF you'd only brace up, and go
straight ahead,
Believe me, friend, she would land
you.
A real estate man, of brow serene,
On Railroad Street. may oft be
seen.
Here's a chance for an American Girl,
To win for herself, a real live Earle.
There is a fellow, not far away,
Who waits for girls, the livelong
day.
When n comes shopping, there's
"Hallelujah,"
But you'd better watch out, or he
will do" you.
Oh Tommy Atkins is the chap
Who keeps our homes SO bright.
But homes are not the only things,
He keeps our purses "Llght."
Is there a girl who'd like to ride.
Through life by Rob Kornegay's
side?
If there be one, he'd like to know;
He'd gladly come and be her beau.
Or maybe you think it would be even
nicer
TIC ride to see sick folks with DIR.
John Spicer?
Most of us would, no doubt, choose
some other vocation,
But to serious maids 'twould be real
recreation.
Up Joe Rose and tall" was he,
Out he spake and thus spake he,
A bachelor, I'll always be,
Unless some girl will tie to me.
If there be q maid without a beau,
Though surely one are justly soy
To John g.. Sizer we would direct her.
In whom she'll find a fond protector.
OF all the charming youths l know,
There's none like u own Frank.
But if you try to ''do him up",
He'll make you walk the plank.
There's a slender youth of the sombre
kind.
Who bears the name of Murray,
He has a purpose, but You'll find,
That he isn't in much of q hurry.
On Widows Hill Is another young
catch,
If you're bent on the business of fish
ing,
Or throw your line ct the foot of the
hill,
Sim Isler is had for the wishing.
| A certain dear friend, who they say is
to wed.
| Has precious few hairs on the top ofhis
head
| And1it seems to he clear if tradition be
true,
fewer and few.

Sunday Passed without Disorder or
Excitement.

] Galveston, Texas, September s3.-Sun-
day was quietly spent in Galveston.
Many people attended church services
and the day passed without disorder or
excitement.
Gen Scurry says Galveston is now as
orderly as any city in the state.
a Several times since'the storm, rain has
come, but fortunately for the thousands
of pie living In wholly or partly un-
rooted houses, the showers have been
light and of brief duration.
In all about 40 bodies were taken from
the ruins today. Tomorrow 1t is esti-
mated $500 men Will be at work on the
streets cleaning away the wreckage.
Thirty days VIII be required to do this
work.
The plan to erect homes for those who
lost everything by the storm, so earnestly
advocated by Miss Barton of the Red
Gross society, is meeting with every en-
couragement. A large fund is to be
raised for this purpose, to be distributed
by direction Of Miss Barton. Five hun.
dred and seventy six persons were treated
at the emergency hospital today.
Many serious cases are reported and
several deaths are likely to result.

Pottsville Pa, September 22.-The
Eighth regiment Pennsylvania National
Guard, Col. Theodore II. Hoffman com.
manding, with headquarters at Potts
vile, received orders early this morning
from Harrisburg to mobilize his regi-
ment.at Mahoney plain at 3 o'clock a. m.
Immediately messengers were sent out
and by O'Clock the regiment had i've
companies ready to move.
The Fourth Regiment, with headquar-
ters at Allentown, also arrived early this
morning, followed later by the Twelfth
regiment, with headquarters at Sunbury
and Wiliiamsport.
The opinion here is that one troop Of
cavalry seems rather small force to send
to place like the Shenandoah region,
with its coIlieries scattered for miles and
some think an entire brigade Will be
necessary to preserve order II the mob
shows any disposition to break loose.
The Ninth regiment of Wilkesbarre and
the Thirteenth regiment of Scranton, are
held in reserve in anticipation that an
outbreak VIII occur in either OF these
regions.

CUSTOMARY QUIETUDE.
Absolutely No Change in Coal Strike
Situation.

Hazleton, Pa, September 23.-There
was absolutely no change in the coal
strike situation in the Lehigh region to-
day and the customary Sunday quietude
prevailed. This afternoon the employees
of the Calvin Pardee mine met at Latti-
mer, and the United Mine Workers held
mass meetings at both Epley and Beaver
Meadows. Tonight the presidents Of
three anthracite districts comprising the
entire hard coal fields CT Pennsylvania,
had a conference with President Mitchell
for the purposes of discussing the situa-
tion as it now prevails in the anthracite
region.
During normal times coIliery here
and there works on Sunday, but today
not q pound of coal was mined in the
Hazleton region. Every one of the 25 or
more towns in this region was quiet.
Three Of the deputies VINO were sworn
in by Sheriff Harvey of Luzerne county
and who are sons OF prominent Wilkes
barre families, were arrested late last
night at Freeland on the charge of high
way robbery. They are Hamilton Farm
ham. Van Buren, b. Howard and A. R.
Shoemaker, Jr. The men are accused of
robbing a Polish liquor dealer Of $167 in
cash. The squire committed the three
men, but instead of looking them up at
Freeland, the accused were driven 30
miles over the mountain to Wtlkesbarre,
where they arrived at daylight this morn

Travelling Men Are Overcome In q
city OF strange Faces.

Travelling Men Are Overcome In a
city OF strange Faces.
There are many degrees Of loneli-
ness" refectively remarked a grizzled
commercial traveller 90 a correspondent
81 the Philadelphia Inquirer, "but there
is one that. when I used 10 experience it,
hit me worst OF all. ! tell you continued
the man of mileage books and sample
trunks. 1T is the sensation that comes
over a man, especially a young man,
when he is on a train carrying him into
q great city FOR the frst time. II gener-
ally strikes him as the outskirts Of the
city are reached and the twinkling clec-
trio lamps begin to come into view. As
the trnin gets nearer the center Of the
city and the lights multiply fenfold the
sensation increases almost in like pro-
portion. but it doesn't get in its best licks
until the train stops in the center Of the
big station and the passengers begin TO
disembark
Here is where the newcomer feels. in-
deed, he is a stranger in a strange land.
Say the trainload numbers 800 or 900
passengers. 1t seems TO him that every
other man and woman has some friend
or relative to meet him or else knows cx-
actly where to go to meet friends and nc.
qualntances, and how to get there quick
est. As for himself, he may know the
name Of the hotel at which he intends to
stop, but he has never seen it and hasn't
the slightest idea in what direction to 20
to reach it. He has TO turn to n police
man for directions as to its location or TO
a haclman to haul him there. If any
man ever thinks of his home town. where
he knows everybody and everybody knows
him, where he can go about blindfolded
almost as well as with his eyes wide
open, he thinks of it then. And In nine
times out of ten he wishes himself back
there.
With a second trip to a city the lonely
Keeling begins to wear off, and after
awhile the victim grows to looking for
ward to getting back there again. But
1t hits the most of as hard the first time.
JUST as 1 nave described, and it's a mighty
depressing sensation, you may well be.
