MINERS ARE DESTITUTE.
Many of Them Compelled to Walk
 Out of Flooded Districts.

Bluefield, w. Va, June 2S.-Division Superintendent Riton says that the damage done in the flood was consid- erable. Trains are only running to Coopers to-day, but 1t is hoped to get a provision train through as far as Ennis this evening. Destitute miners with their wives and children are walking out of the valley. Superin- tendent Theodore Lowe, who was aboard a work train, picked up Camp bell Gilbert, wife and four smarl chil- dren, three of the latter too small to walk. They had started to Honaker, Va, a distance of 75 miles. Provisions were furnished them and the work hands made up purse for the desti- tute family.
 Thirty-eight Norfolk and Western men walked through from Williamson to North Fork, distance of 70 miles. They reported the worst damage to the railroad track at points between Viv-. ian Yard and Dacy, 16 miles distant. Owing to last nights floods, it is not probable that tl< track will be opened before Sunday. It is not believed that any lives were lost in the second flood in the valley of the Elkhorn, Blue stone and Tug rivers last night, as the people took to the mountains early enough to make good their escape.
 The complete list of the dead from Saturdays flood, as compiled by the Bluefield Daily Telegraph, is as fol lows: John Lewis, Mrs Nellie Smith, Anna Smith, Mrs Mckay, Mary Me Kay, Charles Shelley, Sam Poindexter, John Ballard, Bettie Brown. William Trigg, Jacob Riflin, John Bannister, Mrs Mary Foolier. IT. B. Christian, Mrs Bertha Anderson and two small children; William Cheatham, Guy Gaines and wife; Al Beverly md wife; unknown white man; John Van Dyke, Edward Van Dyke. Mrs John Hook and two children;s Charles Tate, T. F. Blankenship. R. J. Beaver, F. W. Booth. Paris Craig and one unknown man and boy. This list numbers 35 and it is believed that as many more bodies are still in the debris and drift wood.
 Keyser, ". Va, June 2S.-Later ad- vices from the New Creek valley, which was inundated by a cloudburst Wednesday night, indicate that no lives were lost and that the damage was confined to live stock and grow ing crops.

Hurley on the other hand stated that Mrs Urquhart is ac- customed to hum a song called kitty In the Garden" and as she was num- .ning it he whistled it, irritating her to the extent of causing his arrest. He made charges against her also, which if true. are serious reflection upon the vigilance of the police. There has been trouble before between the parties. Hurley was fined $7 and costs.

HORSES SKULL FRACTURED.
Be Reared up. Lost His Balance And
 Fell Backward.


 Hartford, June 2S.-A horse in Harry <,rusie's string met q singular death yesterday morning, and the driver has his own agility to thank that he did not get badly hurt in the affair. Harry and his brother were exercising a cou- pie of horses, the former driving. w. A. Foley's stallion and the brother '.teaming" the unfortunate one. There was q momentary misunderstanding between the brother and his charge, the horse finally rearing, losing his bal ance and going over backward. He fell with such force that his skull was fractured and died instantly.
 The animal was one that came north as a saddIer no longer ago than March, and was owned by Middletown man, who placed him in Charlie Smart's hands. He was not the handiest fell low in the world to educate, and he was finally sent to Harry Brusie, who is an expert in manipulating horses that require hopples in their education. Harry soon got him to going in these comparatively new-fangled toggeries, and the pupil had shown his ability to beat 2:20. with apparently q link to spare. As he was without race exper- fence, and consequently was green as to record and such handicaps, he was considered good prospect.

stereo.eopic Study of the Moon.

It has been observed that on account of the absence of an atmosphere on the moon and the consequent lack of gra- dation in shadows, the eye of the ob- server is seriously misled in judging the actual relief of objects forming the lunar landscapes. Prof. Prinz, ot Brussels, has recently developed a method of avoiding this difficulty, and of seeing the craters and other details on the moon in their natural propor tions. Taking advantage of the fact that as the moon travels around the earth the eccentricity of its orbit pro duces the effect of slow filtration, o1 balancing to and fro, which causes its face to be inclined now little one way and now little the other way, Prof. Prinz makes two photographs oi the lunar object to be studied, at oppo site points in the libration, and then combines them in stereoscope, where upon the object stanGs forth in full relief. This principle has hitherto been applied only to photographs of the moon as whole, and not to particular craters or egions.-Science.

"For nearly fifty years quick and
sudden death has been the punishment
for the rapist. Yet such crimes, usually
committed by the negro, increase
rather than diminish, and the very fact
that they are to be dealt with outside
OF the law breeds a sympathy for the
criminal among his race that begets
more crime. Every mob that gathers
to lynch a criminal has made It's con.
lribution to the cause of anarchy. A
prohlbitive law that never prohibits is
placed upon the statutes of a sister
state. A Carrie Nation, armed with
her Ratchet, leads respectable women
TO commit crimes against property,
which the community refuses to punish.
And so a dlsrespect for the law grows
and flourlshes and adds its CONTRIBUTION
to the cause of anarchy.

The public is somewhat inclined to
charge upon the lawyers all the mis-
takes of the law and the imperfections
in its execution. While there may be
justice in this charge as against the in
dIvidual lawyer working for the indl-
vidual client, it is o true when applied
TO the bar as a whole. The bar has
ever been true to the body po'ltic. Lib
erty is the daughter of law, and the
lawyer is her guardian. Free govern
ments have been founded, not by the
sword, but by the statute book and
preserved, not by the soldier, but by
the lawyer.

THE HOME WOMAN.

No clever, brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name,
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Her home is her kingdom, love her dover
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven near,
To win a smile and wipe a tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined,
AS round some reverend saint enshrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and ill;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew,
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile a blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for her!
L. ~ Montgomery.

FLAMMARIoN's QUEER LEGACY
Woman Friend Left Him Some OF Her
Skin Preserved for q Book
Binding.

Queer legacies are not uncommon,
as glance over the records of any
probate court will show; but the be-
quest of Mile. B to the French as
tronomer and novelist, Flammarion,
is probably without a parallel, says
the Chicago Record-Herald.
Mile. B was the possessor of a
wonderful complexion and a neck and
shoulders which made her conspicu-
Gus at any function where decolete
was required. Though not member
of the smart set, she moved in good
society, and it was at dinner party
that Flammarion met her, and with
the proverbial gallantry of his race
warmly complimented her on her fair
complexion. laying special stress on
the beauty of her neck and shoulders.
The girl was much gratified by his ad-
miration, and the incident closed for
the time being.
Some months later the author re-
ceived a black bordered envelope. It
contained an announcement of the
death of Mile. b and added that it
was the young woman's wish that the
skin of her neck and shoulders be pre-
served and sent to the author to be
used by him as binding for one of his
works. Such is the story as it has
been told on this side of the water.
Prof. Barnard, the head Of the as
tronomy department in the University
of Chicago, determined while on re-
cent visit in Paris to sound Flam-
marion as to the truth of the story.
Flammarion listened in silence while
the interpreter went over the details.
then with quick Pardon" he jumped
from his seat and left the room. In q
few minutes he returned with a vol
ume seemingly bound in delicate calf.
He laid it upon Barnard's knee.
''Voila" (behold it). he said simply.

NEVER HASTY AGAIN.
Made by Sir Edwin Ar
mold to One He Had Unjustly
Chastised.

The affection of almost total blind
ness has fallen upon Sir Edwin Arnold.
the charming litterateur and world
wide traveller. All the world regrets
this sad blow and sympathizes with
the victim. Many years ago-it was
back in the '5O's-Sir Edwin, then plain
Mr.. Arnold, was a pedagogue at King
Edwards school, Birmingham. In
those days there used to be placed on
the masters desk an inkstand, a roll
book and a stick. The story tells how
the future poet and journalist abol-
ished the stick.
It was sweltering day and the sub
ject OF the lesson was ssDe Amicitia.'
With an inattentive pupil the master
lost his temper. The stick descended
and he struck hard. The culprit pro-
tested that it was the unprovoked as
sault of a next-door neighbor which
had caused his thoughts to stray. The
next-door neighbor confessed and the
victims assailant was chilled with re-
morse. Calling the boy out, he
handed him the stick and ordered
the boy to strike him-the master.
Imperatively commanded. the boy
obeyed, and the stick was never more
used thenceforward-

at the prospect of having lark with

firemen with their funnier little
squirts on wheels.
It was fully half an hour before the
officers could locate" the origin Of
the alarm and order their companies

ed the Yankee soldier unspeakable
joy. He hated to lose such an oppor-
tunity.
But for all his professional calm,
DIR. Frank was by no means pleased
with the excitement attending this
episode. For an hour or more off,
GERS from all over the neighborhood
gathered in front of Brent's and had
to be told the particulars, BILLY

the heroine everybody expected her

on the electric. "Overwrought and
nervous" said Miss Porter, s'but
laughing at the whole business

sister and suggested that he go down
and tell the assemblage under the
front gallery that they would better

slowly dispersed, leaving only a
