The members of the stock exchange
mustered early today and bought all
the flags and bunting available. Every
one sported a unon jack or badge Of
some sort.
The opening OF business was delayed
owing to the excitement. But, the ju-
bilant stock brokers had little incina-
tion for business and amused them
selves by connecting by telephone to
the Paris bourse so that the singing OF
God Save the Queen" by lusty lunged
patriots might be heard there.
AS the day proceeded the wild tur>

when the remaining places OF business
closed for the usual half holiday the
released clerks formed huge process

town. singing and hurrahing and thus
adding to the extraordinary excitement
OF the throngs OF holiday makers
whose volleys OF cheers kept up an in
creasing roar.
All the naval and military centers

Fire in a Mine.

What came near being a serious fire
occurred at No. 3 mine of the Kingston
Coal company Wednesday morning at
about 6 o'clock. The oil house was dis
covered to be on fire by Samuel Har-
rison, a driver boy. who gave the
alarm, but before assistance arrived
the foot of the shaft was a mass of
flames and it was with great difficulty
that the fire was extinguished.
Besides the oil house, several mine
cars and the timbers for a considerable
distance around were burned. Several
of the employees who helped to extin-
guish the fire are worthy of especial
praise for their bravery as the masses
of falling rock, coal and timbers great
ly hindered them. The fire was caused
by an employe who went in for oil
with naked lamp and ignited the oily
timbers.-Wilkes- Barre Record.

Schuylkill Valley system. The lines will
be operated jointly with the Chestnut

Buying Old Steel Rails,

During the past six weeks the Car
negie Steel company has been in the
market for old steel rails, and it is said
that 10000 tons have already been pur-
chased by it for delivery up to July /.
The price paid for these rails is slight
ly above the market-$26 to $3.50 per
ton--and it is the prevailing impression
in iron and steel circles that Carnegie
anticipates shortage in open hearth
material, and for this reason has made
these purchases.
A large number of open-hearth fur
naces are in course Of construction in
the Pittsburg district. and as old
rails and scrap are required in
certain quantities in the manu-
facture of the product Of these
furnaces. it is certain that the demand
for old material will be strong within
a few months.

ed. l.. M. Bunnell also favored united
action in making the selection. Mr..
Holgate favored the Newcomb idea.
The Republicans should have no say In
the selection Of the next Democratic
candidate for Judge, he argued. Mr..
Newcomb expressed himself as viewing
the action contemplated by the Jessup
resolution in the light Of the Demo-
cratic party permitting the Republi-
can lawyers to train horses for It.

questionable Jessup resolution--and 1t

posed. Mr.. Holgate at this juncture

lowing resolution:

Mr.. Newcomb called this an attempt
at horse trading and averred that IL
robbed the action of the Republicans
helping to give the Democrats a judge
of the appearance of good faith. He
moved to table the resolution on the
ground that many members had voted
and retired and consequently a full ex.

was actually no form of amusement in
the whole city to assist him in Willing

suggest n way of passing the remain

The landlord took pity on the stran-

in the house in which n number of
Scotchmen were playing a game called
''nap," which is a sort of modification
of "seven up" They were playing for
a shilling a point, so that the game was
a pretty stiff one. The stranger got in
the game and played very cautiously,
for he was quite sure that the players,
or at least some of them, were cheat
ing. One solemn faced Scot, he was
especially sure, he caught cheating a
number Of times. He began whisling

who had been cheating arose from the

Making Caricatures.

The way in which some artists can
distort features without making them
unrecognizable is certainly very re-
markable. Thomas Mast possessed
this faculty to an extraordinary degree
and he had a very peculiar way Of
adding new faces to his mental pho
tograph gallery. When a fresh sub
ject would arise in politics, for in
stance, he would invent some preteXt
to call upon him at his office or house
and hold him in conversation as long
as possible, studying his features.
When he took his departure he would
purposely leave his cane. Once outside
Mast would make hasty pencil sketch
on a card and would usually find that
his memory was deficient as to some
detail He would then return, ostensi-
bly, for the cane, and another look at
the victim would enable him to per-
feet his sketch. After that he had the

When Joe Keppler was alive he used
to make frequent trips to Washington
for the purpose of seeing statesmen
whom he wanted to draw. He was
very clever at catching likenesses and
scarcely ever referred to photograph.
