Brooklyn where one of the dark streets
leading from the Atlantic dock crosses
Van Buren street.
In the car sat a dignified woman with
classic and mellowed features. She
wore a tailor made gown and carried a
orick-colOred umbrella. Beside her was
a liGht-haired man whom every drip

resident who entered the car addressed

do l know the tall lady? Wei, l
guess do. She's Ada Rehan," said the
conductor ada Rehan amt her right
name, though. She used to be, when
knew her at school, Bridget Crehan.
She was a great singer and reciter.
Her mother lives ina two-story brick
louse In Cofrey street, near the German
American stores. Her children have
tried every argument to get Mrs. Crehan
to move to a more fashionable locality,
but the old lady says Red Hook is good
enough for her. That's her brother
Arthur, and everybody around here
knows him."
Can the trolley conductor have been
right? Miss Rehan's biographies show
that her name was once Miss Crehan,
but no literature of the stage gives the
informa ton that the brilliant star of
the Daily productions. the impersonatOr
of $50 charactars and the guest of Lord
and Lady Nuneaster was ever known
as Bridget.
When in town Miss Rehan crosses
the Hamilton avenue ferry every
Sunday afternoon to visit her mother in
the little Red Hook house that was once
the great actress home.

md, where buoys of all kinds
and shapes are, kept, ready to be placed
over some rock dangerous to navigation
or to replace any which may be damag-
ed or adrift. This long pipe, which
runs down into the water, is what fur
nishes the power for the whistle. When
the buoy is in the water the rolling of
the waves up through the pipe and the
pressure on the air in the tank forces
it out through the whistle and the we'll
known dismal sound is the result.
Whistle buoys in different ports of
the coast are given a different pitch in
order that the mariner may, on thick
night, be able to know his locality by
the difference in the sound. 1t Is the
duty of the officers to adjust the pitch
of these whistles when they get out OF
tune and they have become so expert
at it that they can detect and remedy
the slightest variation from the correct
pitch. The adjustment of these whistles
must be made while they are in place
and sometimes the great necessity of
the marks on dangerous rocks obliges
the men on the buoy boat to make these
repairs in very rough weather. The
repairing crew usually includes the
mate and one man, who are towed up
to the buoy until they are able to grasp
the rings on the side and Chamber up
over the side to the cage which protects
the whistle. Perhaps the most danger
Gus duty which falls to the lot of the
buoy tenders is that of replacing the
heavy buoys during a storm or while
heavy sea is running. With the
steamer rolling her rails under the
greatest care must be taken to avoid
accident, and many are the stories of
narrow escapes related by strong, rug
ged men who perform this dangerous
work-Augusta Journal.

WHERE GOLD GROWS.
fresh Deposits of the Precious Meta
very Year

fresh Deposits of the Precious Metal
/ very Year.
There are localities where gold may
be said to grow every year. or, in 9th
er words, where fresh deposits of the
precious metal are to be found annual
ly, says Answers.
One such district is in the Edmonton
country, In the Canadian Northwest,
where. after the spring floods from the
same banks and benches" Of the
Saskatchewan River, there are taken
every year considerable quantities Of
gold by a few diggers, who make their
living out of the business.
But the most conspicuous and inter
esting case of this sort is to be seen
near Ichang, in the province Of Hupeh,
in China. For many centuries past each
year gold has been washed from the
banks Of coarse gravel on both sides of
the River Han, and in the midst Of the
auriferous district there Is an ancient
town called Likutien. which means
Gold Diggers' Inn" Its inhabitants
subdivide the gold-bearing ground
among themselves annually, stalking
out their claims with partitions They
pay no royalty and appear to earn no
more than a bare subsistence, but this
may be doubted, as John Chinaman is
an adept at ''layin' low and sayin'
muffin"
The annual river floods bring down
millions of tons Of mud and sand from
the mountains, and this mud and sand
which is charged with gold. both Zine"
and in fakes, is deposited to a depth
Of six inches or more on the banks of
gravel. 1t is in the winter that the
gold is washed, and it is said that sew
en- men work about twenty tons of the
pay dirt" In a day.

AT KEITHS THEATRE PHlLA-

A house which has more patrons
from this town than have all the otner
Quaker City Theatres combined: the
New Years week programme VIII De
headed by 1.-The Girl with the auburn
Hair" the best card ever presented
in vaudeville. During the first fve
weeks this act has been the talk OF
New York and more people nave VII
messed it at Keith's than have opserV-
ed any other theatre in Gotham. Sne
will be seen for the first time In Ihii-
adelphia on January 1. The entertain
ment which will last from IL A. NJ. TO
10. 80 p. NJ daily will be the greatest
ever presented on any Phliaoeiphla
vaudeville stage, embracing no less
than three great stars-The Girl WIN
the Auburn Hair. Cissie Lotus ana
Nine. Hermann, widow OF the magl-
clan. Miss Lotus performance dur
ing Christmas week was seen by assem-
blies that packed the house from pit
to dome twice daily. 1t will be un-
ouestionably the best entertainment
in Philadelphia, notwithstanding the
fact that it may be seen for 10, 20 or
so cents.

The Vastness Of London.

The vastness Of London is becoming
more and more striking. The real Lon
don is comprised in what is called the
Metropolitan police area, and in that
area there is a population Of 5.833, 500,
which is as great as the combined pop
ulations Of four great capitals of Eu-
rope-St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris and
Rome. Already London extends eigh-
teen miles from Charing Cross all
around, and the mind cannot grasp the
idea of the London of fifty years hence.
In its streets, houses, workshops, riv-
ers, 66 persons die from various kinds
Of violence every week; so that nearly
$500 men, women and children every
year meet their deaths from accident,
negligence or design.

stand Up When Trying on Shoes

Stand Up When Trying on Shoes.
"People would find less difficulty with
ready-made Shoes" said the expert
enced salesman, III they would stand
up to At them on instead of sitting
down. Nine persons out Of ten, par
ticularly women, want a comfortable
chair while they are fitting shoe, and
1t Is with the greatest difficulty you
can get them to stand for a few min
utes, even after the shoe is fitted. Then,
when they begin walking about they
wonder why the shoes are not SO COM
Portable as they were at first trial. A
woman's foot is considerably smaller
when she sits In a chair than when she
walks about. Exercise brings a larger
quantity Of blood into the feet, and they
swell appreciably. The muscles also
require certain space. In buying shoes
this fact should be borne in mind"

Well, Timothy Brown, he thought for

been born, and he didn't know how
to subtract.
Come, when is your birthday? I'll give

ran away with him and killed him, and
Theodore, not yet It. was left a widow.
Naturally enough she wrote to her
husbands relatives, whom she had
never seen, and now, upon this October
evening. she was expecting an answer
to the letter.
The color mounted to her face as the
postman paused under her window-she
caught the letter from his hands and

And this cutting taunt, this gratuitous
insult, was all.
Theodore sat pale and silent. She
knew that her husband did not care to
refer to his relatives much, generally
avoiding the subject when she broached

cred that Lionel Dale was thoroughly

how selfish.
But the blow. sharp and sudden as II
was, nerved her to further exertions.
She put on her hat, went out to the
nearest jeweler and sold her watch and
chain-LionePs wedding present-for
probably about one-third Of its worth.
With this she paid her bill at Mrs.

A RELIC OF ST. PAUL.

Had anybody foretold, when we be.

To most people the name "Corinth"

md honorable history from the
when it founded Syracuse and
:yra until 1t was destroyed by the
,ans; 1t is rather the place made sa-
by the residence and loving labors
st. Paul.
In our first years work. while exca.
waiting a house evidently of the Roman
period. we had sportively called II the
house of "Sosthenes. the brother" LITTLE
expecting that we should ever come up
on anything which we could attach to
the great apostle except by the slender.
est cord of fancy. Accordingly. it was
rather startling to find. on turning over
block of marble found at a depth of
about ten feet an inscription of Roman
times, rudely cut and broken at both
ends, running, synagogue of the He
brews." The thought arose. and would
not down, that this stone was part of
the very synagogue in which Paul
reasoned every Sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. >
six months, teaching the word of GOO
among them"
The block was deliberately carved or
one side with a row of dentils and
higher bands of holdings both above
and below 1t, and had undoubtedly
formed a part of a fine entablature of
building In the older city destroyed by
Mummius: but in the synagogue it had
been used as the Intel of n door. Its
show side, with the elaborate carving
had been turned downwards. SO that il
could be seen by looking up as one
passed through the door. while the in
scription was cut in the edge now
brought to the front. which. being
plain, was well fitted for the purpose.
We have not been able to identify
any of the walls found near by with
the synagogue from which the block
came. although we may subsequently
give it such a setting; nor can we say
with certainty that the inscription is
not later than the time Of Paul. But
the probability is the other way. and II
is at least not unlikely that he passed
and repassed under this very block
We could hardly have found anything
more closely associated with him.
