A NIGHT UNDER WATER.
Fifteen Hours at the Bottom of Ne'
 York Bay Unharmed.

Fifteen Hours at the Bottom of New
 York Bay Unharmed.
 NEW YORK, Nov 25.-In the pres ence Of big crowd which despite the storm assembled to witness the emerg- ing of the submarine boat Fulton that craft rose from the bottom of the bay yesterday morning at 10:3O o'clock with all well and greatly surprised to find there was storm raging.
 The test of the Fulton's staying pow CTS was highly satisfactory not only to the officers of the company that built her and the naval officers present, but to those who went to the bottom in the boat. They report there was not the slightest discomfort to them during their more than fifteen hours of sub- mersion beneath the surface.
 Captain Cable of the Holland compa- ny, who was i'll command, said that the boat could have remained down for three months if there was food enough on board. Although there was but six feet of water over the top of the turret those on board felt nothing of the storm. Through the night there was 8 light rolling motion to the craft, but this Was ascribed to the regular mo- tion of the water and not to the dis turbance which was rolling the waves high on the shore.

Great Damage on Connecticut Coast.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 25.-The damage done by the severe storm of the last twenty-four hours has been the greatest in some instances in the history of the state along the water front, and the damage will reach $50,- poo or more. At Shippan Ponit, in Stam- ford, several docks connected with summer residences were carried away by the unusually high tide. and the cellars of a number of buildings near the water front were completely sub- merged. Along the canal the water rose over the banks, and a considerable part of the lower end of the city was inundated. The freight offices of the North and East River Steamboat com pany were flooded, as were many of the shops along the canal. Milford probably suffered more than any other town on the Connecticut shore, and the damage is estimated at S10,OOO. The sea wall at Burwells Beach, recently built, was completely carried away. At Fort Trumbull Beach every bathing house on the beach was washed away, and the banks and lawns of the sum- mer residences were destroyed.

Heavy Los.e. at Asbury Park.

ASBURY PARK. N. J., Nov. 25.- The storm struck Asbury Park with more force than any in recent years. The wind during the night attained a velocity of seventy miles an hour and did much damage to cottages. The great waves rolled across Ocean ave- nue, and the surf rolled across the beach and into Wesley lake overflow ing II, something that never occurred since Asbury Park was located. The water of the lake flooded cellars and Alade the streets in that vicinity al

ALL ARE FOUNDDEAD|
Eight Bodies Recovered From
 Burning Mine.
VICTIMS OF THE WHITE DAMP.
Party of officials Had Entered the Mine on Inspection Tour, BeIiev- ing the Danger Past-FlameA
 Are Still UnGuenched.

BLUEFIEIlD, ". Va, Nov. 25.- The dead bodies of the lost party of eight well known mining men who en- tered the West mine of the PocahontaS Galleries company on Friday morning last at Il o'clock were recovered at 12:45 o'clock yesterday. At o'clock in the morning a rescuing party num- bering forty persons entered at the main entrance, bratticing the mine as they went in order to improve the cir culation of the air. They had reached 3 distance of 5000 feet from the en- trance when they encountered such quantities of white damp that it was impossible to proceed farther.
 Retracing their steps, they decided to make another attempt from the Tug river entrance, some six miles across the Flat Top mountain. They went in this entrance about 1O:30 o'clock, and after going a distance of some 600 feet they found the dead bodies of A. $. Hurst, chief inspector; Bob Oldham, subinspector, and Frazier c. Bell, min ing engineer, all huddled together. From their positions they must have | All of them were lying face down, with no signs of struggle. Hurst had made pillow of his coat, on which his head rested.
 The bodies of the other five mem bers of the party, Superintendent of Mines Walter O'Malley, Joseph Card well, superintendent of the Shamokin Coal and Coke company; k. k. St. Clair, second assistant inspector; State Mine Inspector Price and Maurice St. Clair, subinspector, were found sev- eral hundred feet back in the mine, three of the bodies lying some little distance apart. Bob St. Clair and Jo- seph Cardwell were lying with arms clasped around each other cold in death. The bodies of O'Malley, Mau- rice St Clair and Price were discolor- ed and bruised about the face, showing signs of struggle, it being very plain to see that they made a desperate at tempt at retracing their steps to better air, but already had advanced too far into the deadly white damp to escape alive.
 The fire is still burning in Baby mine, and the mine officials seem at a loss to understand how it will be finally extin- guished. The only way, it is believed, is by flooding. This will be an enor- nous undertaking, as the mine is a drift mine. Mine experts claim there is great danger of explosions by flooding the mine, as when water comes in con tact with the fire the generation of gas will be so great as to possibly blow away the whole side of the mountain.

Do4r.s IN coNvERsATIoN.

It is a great index of character, the habitnal subject of conversation. A confirmed lover of argument is not q very agreeable person, but at least an argument is sometimes upon a subject worth talking about With girls dis puteS are more common than argu- ments. says the Home Companion There is no place in the civilized world for . disputatious individual Every one diSlikes contention, except per- haps those who for the moment are absorbed in it. A good plan when someone essays to argue with you just for the love of opposition is to be silent and at the first opportunity turn the conversation into some new chan nel. I do not believe it is ever worth while to argue over any subject what ever Each contestant is concerned only in fighting herself, and in the heat of the debate calm, unprejudiced thought is impossible No one was ever converted from well defined views by argument. Silent, quiet, though long continued and without heat or excitement, that is what af- fleets ones mind. Don't argue. That is one rule. Of course, you will never contradict anyone directly You learn
 
 can't have forgotten one of the first rules of conversation. Don't talk about your troubles, above all, any ill health or sickness. Nothing is so tiresome as to hear long tales of illness and suffering, unless it be to bear those af- fiictions. You deepen, strengthen and prolong the effects of sickness by dwelling upon it, in thought and speech. You can hasten your recoy- cry by enjoying your return to health and showing your delight in it, and that is the only way you should allow yourself to remind others of the ills you nave endured. Never speak of strictly family affairs, and especially be careful not to allow yourself, under any proyocation, to criticise any mem- Der of your own family in conyersa- ton with your dearest friend. And avoid too much tax of every kind about your own nearest of kim You are naturally deeply interested in your brothers college experiences or your sisters coming-out party, but it is all colorless to people outside of your own house. There is nothing more becoming to a girl than a woman ly reserve about her. personal and fam fly affairs. Beware of going into de tails in conversation upon subjects. They are tiresome to any thinking person who has to listen.
 l am sure it is needless to remind you that when you are guest in any family you are for the time regarded as one of them, and that any comment upon them is an inexcusable breach of the laws of hospitality.
 1 seem to have given you a good many ''don'ts,'' and you might ask What shall We talk abouty' Well, there's the whole world, outside of q very narrow limit, when you come to think about it. - =.

Atlantic City Suffer. Loss.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. 25.-- The severe northeast storm washed away a considerable portion of the board walk near the Inlet pavilion, in- Volving a loss of several thousand dol lars. The yachtsmen's wharf was also damaged. while small boats anchored near the inlet were torn from their moorings and washed to sea. Several houses on the upper end of the walk had steps torn away by the waves and the lower floors flooded. The street car tracks were submerged to such an ex- tent that travel was interrupted for awhile.

LONG BRANCH SWEPT.
Big Iron Pier Gone-Hote1 and Other
 Buildings Wrecked.


 Buildings Wrecked.
 LONG BRANCH, N. J., Nov. 25.- The full. rigged ship Flottbek, which went ashore at Monmouth Beach dur ing the gale, is now resting on the sands apparently little the worse for her experience, and her crew are being cared for by the life savers of Station No. 4 The tugboat Robert Haddon is wreck, but her crew was saved One man, unknown, probably resi- dent of Long Branch, was swept away when the iron pier was wrecked. Much property damage resulted from the storm all along that portion of the Jer- sey coast. Just before daylight a heavy crash was heard, and when daylight came it was found that the big iron pier had gone and that only few waving spiles remained to show where it had been.
 The United States hotel at Long Branch was wrecked early in the night. The gale started a corner of the roof, and the wind, getting under it, ripped almost the whole covering off and rolled it up and finally deposit ed it in the yard to the rear Very lit tie could be done to save the interior. The loss is estimated at $1O,OOO by a contractor who examined the building.
 Along Ocean avenue several store fronts were blown in, and the rain beat in during the night before the openings could be boarded up. Many of the ave- nues are impossible, owing to fallen trees and fences being hI0Tn anroas them. The telephone service is almost at standstill, owing to broken and crossed wires.

STORY OF LEW wALLAcEs GRIT

General Lew Wallace. according to his own words, was q poor student in
 his young manhood. He grew tired of his college course after six weeks and returned home. But his failure at college furnished the turning point in his career. He says: T shall never forget what my father did when 1 re- turned home. He called me into his oT1ce. and took from a pigeonhole in his desk package of papers neatly folded and tied with red tape. He was q very systematic man, because, perhaps, of his West Point training
 The papers proved to be the receipts for my tuition, which he had carefully preserved. He called off the items. xnd asked me to add them. The total, 1 confess, staggered me. That sum,
 my son. he said with tone of regret in his voice, represents what I have expended to provide you with g good education. After mature reflection, I have come to the conclusion that l nave done for you, in that direction
 all that can reasonably be expected of any parent; and I have, therefore
 called you in to tell you that you have now reached an age when you must take up the lines yourself. If you have failed to profit by the advan- |
 to surround you, the responsibility you for your neglect, but rather pity you for the indifference which you have shown to the golden opportunities syoh have been enabled to enjoy through my indulgence" s'What effect did his admonition nave on you? Did it awaken or arouse youl'' Gen eral Wallace was asked. Tt aroused me, most assuredly. It set me to thinking. The next day I set out with q determination to accomplish some thing for myself. My fathers injunc- Iion rang in my ears. New responsi- Utilities rested on my shoulders. as was, for the first time in my life, my own master. l felt that I must get work on my own account. After much effort, finally obtained employment from the man with whom 1 had pass ed many afternoons strolling up and down the little streams in the neigh borhood, trying to fish. He was the county clerk, and he hired me to copy what was known as the complete rec ord of one of the courts. 1 worked for months in a dingy, half-lighted room, receiving for my pay something like len cents hundred words. The tedi- ousness and the regularity of the work made splendid drill for me, and taught me the virtue ofSpersistence as one of the avenues of success. It was at this time began to realize the de- nciency in my education, especially as l had an ambition to be a lawyer. Being deficient in both mathematics and grammar. I was forced to study
 evenings Of course. that was very exacting, after a full days hard work: but was made to realize that the time I had spent with such lavish ur0digality could not be recovered, and 1hat I must extract every possible good ont of the golden moments then 65ine by all too fast.
