Some statistics that are especially in
teresting at this time are contained in
the report of the bureau of mines.
which shows the number of persons
employed in the anthracite region last
year was 140,5S3 and in the bituminous
district 91.440. says a Harrisburg dis
patch to the Philadelphia Public Ledg
er. The total production of the an
thracite field last year was 54,034 .224
tons as compared with 41.145,174 the
year previous. The btuminous output

ma and Wayne.
In 80 years, according to this report,
0,5T5 persons have lost their lives in
the mining region. Chief Roderick

many of the accidents. The average

CELEBRATED
Twenty-Founh Anniversary in Business in
Marietta.

Mr.. Conrad Baum, the well known
barber, celebrated Mondayas the twen-
ty-fourth anniversary CT his engaging
in business in Marietta. Mr.. Baum
came to this city from Buffalo, N. Y,
in 1876 and started with one chair, his
shop being in the rear of the National
House, now the Norwood Hotel, on
Second street.
On February 18th, 1892, he moved to
his present location in the Citizens
Bank Building opposite the Court
House where his success has continued
and he is now running one of the
most up-to-date establishments of the
kind, in the city. He has recently
placed in his shop six fine Berninghaus
Hercules chairs and employs skilled
BARRIERS to assist in taking proper care
of the trade. Bathroom and boot
black stand are also features of his
place. Mr.. Baum's pay roll is now
$5S per week. He has the Marietta
Phone, Nc. 500 in his parlors.
Mr.. Baum is one of the leading Ger
man citizens of Marietta and his sue
cess in business is due to the fact that
his first aim has always been to please
his customers.
One fact that he greatly appreciates
is that among his present patrons are
several who have patronized his place
ever since he started in business here.

The PARIS EXPOSITION
II
IN FULL BLAST.

Belgium, Holland and Russia being
represented. Only few specimens
from Italy and England will be dis
played, and so ar as ! can learn, none
at all from the United States. One
English horse will be among the most
costly in the exhibit, being valued at
$105, 900. The Russian collection, how
ever, is considered the best sent by any
country, and contains some excellent
specimens, although two superb black
stations were lost on the way, being
unable to endure the fatigue of the
journey. One died in Germany, ard
another within the city of Paris, not
ar from the stable door. This horse
belonged to Russian grand duke, VINO
had recently refused 10000 rubles for
him.
Among the interesting examples is a
cross between the Arabian and Rus
sian horse, hardy and well-shaped
animal, about medium size, of the gen.
eral appearance of the Arabian horse,
but with heavier bones and broad
back. The cossack horse, widely used
in the Russian army and beginning to
be employed by the military forces of
other countries General French, in
the Transvaal, has two hundred for
vanguard service) is also strongly
built. The Finnish horse is of the
type that served the Roman and Greek
sculptors in ancient times. Another
specimen is the Ardennes horse, huge
and heavy in frame, with strength in
proportion, and yet far from clumsy,
and walking with a comparatively
light step. These animals are especi-
ally suited for plowing in Russia,
where the soil adapted to cultivation
extends to an unusual depth.

II You Do. Then Y"n should Vote For
Bryan Next November.

Bryan Next November.
By as much as much as business is
bigger now than it was when the last
Democratic victory started the Demo
cratic panic of 1898, the day after the
election, by so much bigger will be the
Bryan panic if it comes. An especially
we'll posted New York observer says,
speaking from purely business stand
point:
in 1893 a contraction of only $50.
100000, or less than Is per cent in the
bank loans OF this city, brought on a
panic that spread over the whole coun-
try. The loans of the same banks are
now over $500 600, 900, against maxi
mum of $465, 100000 in 1893, and those
of all other banks in the country show
a similar degree of expansion.
There is, therefore, room for a
much greater contraction now than
there was in 1898, with liability to
a corespondingly greater disaster. Mr..
Bryan and his followers are right in
attributing to the increased money
supply of the country the general rise
in prices which has belied the proph
ecies of disaster as consequence of
maintaining the gold standard, which
he made in 1896, but they do not see
that the greater part of the increase
comes not from the additional supply
of gold, but from an expansion of cred
it's due to the confidence which our
people have had in one another and in
the stability of our financial system
1T is true that, should revision to
! the silver Gtandard be effected, prices
would rise again to higher point
! than before, because they would bf
reckoned in a deprecated currency
but while the measure was merely i'm
/ pending there would be fall in then
such as the country has never before
! witnessed"

PERIL OF THE NUNS.
Storm Scenes In Convent of the sa-

Storm scenes In Convent OF the Sa-
cred Heart at Galveston.
In q letter to John ]. McGovern, vice
president of the Ferris Bros company
of Newark, \. j., Sister NJ. de PoZZi.
dominican nun, tells Of the peril of
herself and the other nuns in the Con-
vent of the Sacred Heart in Galveston
during the recent flood and hurricane,
says the New York Press. Sister de
Pozzi formerly was Miss Isabelle Au-
gey of Newark. In her letter she says:
Mother sent word to us to go to
chapel and pray that the storm might
cease. We had just knelt down before
the statue of ST. Anthony when the
ceiling fell right where we were; but
thank God, we escaped injury. We
moved back little toward the door,
when the windows came crashing in,
and strange to say. Notwithstanding
the flying Of glass and plaster. there
was not one of our statues scratched,
and they stood as firm as rocks during
the storm. After we left the chapel we
went into the next room, and shortly
after the back part of the house gave
way, and another gust of wind came,
sending the windows in pieces all
around us and blowing the panels Off
the doors.
"The truth is the house is badly
damaged. In fact, it Is only half
house. Still mother has thrown the
doors wide open for any one who
stands in need of shelter, and they
number among the thousands. A poor
man came in yesterday asking for
something to eat. When food was CIV
en- to him, he could not eat, he was so
distressed He had lost his wife and
seven children. and this Is only one
case of the many who are in the same
pitiable condition"
