A. & c. May Go Through Town Via
C.. o. & c. Railroad.

Before Ardmore secured the 4. 6
&c. road il was a muchtalked-of ques-
tion as to where the road would pass
through town. OF course the right-of-
way. as originally surveyed by the
road. ran through the town from east
to west. along the block between Third
and Fourth avenues.
a thorough canvass OF our people
found that 20 be an expensive route
and the A. & C. people asked us 20
contribute $4,000 to help buy the
right-ofway. We gave il TO them.
The railroad people went over the
right-Ofway and secured options on
the property. paying TO each property
holder the sum OF 81 10 cinch the
bargain. After that was done we wera
told the road was coming and the
contractors went to work but not a
Ilick Of work has been done In town
! except on the east side Hhere the A

RELICS OF ANCIENT MINERS.
Interesting Discovery I'm Long
Abandoned Scottish Mine
Near Edinburgh.

Archaeologists are much interested
in discovery just made in the Fife
coal pit near Edinburgh. During OPP
erations by the Wemyss Coal com
pany at an old disused pit at the
Blair burn, in order to prevent flood
ing, the overmen discovered a large
number Of miners tools such as were
used some 300 years ago. The shovels
are all made of wood, some of them
being as good as the day they were
made; the picks and mells are iron,
the piDches are wood with iron
points. One of the operators stated
that there are huge blocks of coal
living about all cut out with the pick,
so large as to puzzle the present day
collier how the old miners accom-
plished the task of cutting them out;
the pick handles are of great thick
ness, approaching almost to the
thickness of props used for support
ing the roof at the present time.
There is a tradition that the old mine
was flooded, causing the death of
many of the miners, and the condi-
tions of the mine and the fact of so
many tools lying about the seams
point to the truth of the story.

GIRL MANAGES BRICK YARD.
She Masters Every Detail of the
Business and Makes Money
Mt 1t

Perhaps Owensboro, KY, has the only
young lady in the country who is en-
gagged in the business of manufactur
ing brick and who can lay brick as
rapidly as any man and do any kind
of work in connection with the man
ufacture and use of brick that man
can do and perform it as rapidly. She
is Miss Ida Hafner, and operates an
extensive brick manufacturing plant
in the lower end of the city. She has
been known to dig and cart the clay
for 5000 bricks in day and to wheel
and set 10000 bricks in a day. She is
assisted by her mother and a younger
sister, and many of the residences
and business houses of the city were
built with brick made by them.
About four years ago the husband
and father, who had built up the
largest brick industry in the city,
died and left a widow and two daugh-
ters. Miss Ida took up the business
where her father left it and has con-
Quoted it with marked success. She
and her mother and the younger sis
ter have built their own home, which
is a handsome structure, and they are
rapidly accommodating money and
property.

preached that he was visited by a
youth named Daniel Diaz, who begged
him to go to his house and confess his
sister, who had been dead five years,
land who had appeared to him, be-
seeching him to call on the mission
aries to assist her out of purgatory."
The padre says that, despite the
fears which were aroused by this
strange request, he determined to go,
and took for his companions Mariana
Mellado and two sacristanes. On
reaching the house, which was a
gloomy place, he was conducted to q
cherries room, where he seated him
self and Immediately became aware
OF floating vaporous figure, while at
the same time he heard "creaking of
bones" The wretched young woman
made her confession, and, on being
absolved, disappeared suddenly.
The padre states that the awful ex-
perience brought on n severe illness,
but that since his recovery he has de-
termined to make the fact known, that
others may not be exposed to the
same long duranee in purgatory for
want of dissolution.
The news of this occurrence has
spread like wildfire, and the mission
aries have been the recipients of hand
some contributions since it took place.

asserts that apples, ard raw apples at
that. are the best diet on which to
feed genius. He tells of the penchant
of his father, a man of letters, who
lived to the age of nearly 80, for APP
pie pudding, which he ate almost
daily, and raw apples, which he ate
morning, noon and night. He adds:
at is surprising how many per-
sons fancy that raw apples are indi-
gestible, and only endurable in the
early morning. Doubtless the old
adage that fruit is gold in the morn
ing and lead at night is to some ex-
tent for this, to my think
ing, erroneous impression. l find that
after working late at night, say till
twelve or one o'clock in the morning,
one gets hungry, and that then five
or six apples or more, according 10
their size, with a draught of good
cider, constitutes n most agreeable
and wholesome supper, and one that
conduces to a sound and refreshing
nights rest. But apples, to be really
beneficial, should be eaten as children
eat them, rind and all, and in sutfi-
Gent quantities to be satisfying. The
man who, first pairing off the skin and
with it the best part of the flesh, dali
lies with the residue of an apple after
dinner is no true apple lover"

was moved when he saw the youth OF
his city growing up in ignorance and
vice. He sought to establish schools
for them, but found that there were
no capable teachers. To supply In
structors of better class he gathered
a chosen band Of young men into his
own house, where he supported and
trained them at his own expense. The
work soon outgrew these s<copmoda-
lions, and about 1855, with the aid OF
benevolent friends, he established a
normal school to be devoted to train
ing teachers for elementary schools.
A few years before Demia, prizes
Of Lyons, performed a similar service,
but soon after his death the enterprise
failed. La Sale gave up his canonry,
with it's honors and liberal income, to
devote himself to his school. BY his
self-saorifice his school became very
successful and established a notable
system of education, but after his
death nothing more was heard of in
dependent normal schools in France
for nearly a century.

HEAVY GAMBLING IN NOME.
Biggest Faro Games I'm the World
Are Being Played There at
the Present Time.

Dawson in it's palmiest days never
saw any higher bets made on one
turn of the card than have been wit
messed in two plays in Noine lately,
says the San Francisco Call. The first
play came up at the Dexter, when
Bull Con" Jack and Gus Seiffert at
tempted to put Wyatt carp and
Charlie Hoxie out OIL business in a
few turns. Bull Con" made several
stiff bets, and with his usual luck
won, and the dealer did not cut him
down until he attempted to bet $1,000
1t was lucky for the dealer, as Jack
won his $500 bet, and for some time
that was the usual stack on a single
card.
There was another stiff play in the
Northern, when four gamblers pooled
together in order to win out enough
to stake themselves to bank roll.
They started in with $50 bets, which
is the usual limit in the Northern,
and then commenced to double, win
ming every bet until they had $1,000
in checks out. Then they stacked
them all up on the ace and asked the
dealer to turn for the bunch, but be-
fore doing so the dealer asked Pro-
prietor James Murphy if he would
"stand for it."
"Let the boys put on as much as
they want, and if the ceiling is too
low We'll tear it off," said Murphy.
With that the dealer wet his finger
and slipped OIL a card. 1t was a great
big bullet, and four Disguised sports
walked out of the house.

A SAGACIOUS BARBER.
Willingness to Await
Their Turn.

A barber in Brooklyn has solved the
problem of keeping customers who are
in a hurry from running away when
they see all the chairs occupied. He
has fitted up gorgeous new shop, and
back of it has' arranged a gorgeous
waiting-room, decorated in very good
taste. 1t has heavy mahogany tables
and luxurious easy chairs, and scat
tered around are not only all the chief
illustrated periodicals of the day, but
also well-bound popular novels, Mac
aulay's history, some of the poets. and
two or three foreign comic papers and
illustrated art journals. A customer
on taking his seat, is asked politely it
he would like to see a comic paper, a
daily, cor, perhaps" says the next
hair-trimmer, you would prefer his
tory Or a book of poems" The shop
is a great success.
"You see" said the proprietor, it
used to make my men nervous to know
that their particular patrons were sit
ting on the anxious seat waiting for
their turn. Not only did the man in
the chair get less attention, but l
often lost customers who were too
impatient to wait. Now, man comes
in in aphurry, sees the chairs are full;
and goes into the parlor, takes up a
book, finds nice easy chair and a cool
corner, and forgets all about his hurry

NEW FUEL PUZZLES FINDER.
Product Recently Discovered Looks
Like Wood and Is Found In
Vein Like Coal.

Out in Washington they have dis
covered a new fuel which is believed
to be commercially valuable and
which cannot as yet be classified by
the scientists. This peculiar deposit
has been discovered near Asotin and
Lewiston. The product has a woody
fiber and burns with a bright flame
like dry wood. There is on occasions
suffering as if there were oil in
the substance, but there is no book
on bitumens that treats of 1t in any
manner. Assayer Fassett says that
he has never seen or heard of SIM
liar substance. He says that it ap-
pears to him like dried fungus, but
that if the reports sent him are cor
rect his theory must be wrong. In
a letter sent from Asotin the writer
states that he has a four-foot ledge
uncovered and has sunk on it dis
lance of six feet, the ledge lying be-
tween rock walls. There was de-
cayed worm found in a piece of the
product sent to the assay office, and
that is taken to show a vegetable
formation. The samples can be split
into sections with a knife without en-
countering any grit. If there Is a
ledge as described and 1t is within
well-defined walls the substance will
be of great commercial value.

CUNNING PET MONKEY.
Tho Clever Creature Kissed the Baby
Instead of Pulling It's
Ears

Jack, my pet monkey, is full of mis-
chief. One day he got into the kitchen.
and when the cook was not paying par
ticular attention to him he jumped up
on the table, seized pan of water that
was standing there and emptied its
contents on the sleeping cat, says a
writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer. He
never lost an opportunity to play a
joke on old Tab, or on the younger
cats, either, for that matter. He often
succeeded, when he was Gagged, in en-
ticing the cats close to the bars. when
he would seize their ears and pull them
until the victims fairly squealed.
This habit of his was well known to
a neighbor of mine, and once, when
she was visiting me with her baby, the
little one, unnoticed for the moment,
crawled up to the cage to have a good
look at Jack. The mother saw it and
rushed to rescue the child, but Jack
was too quick for her and had grasped
it by the shoulders before she could
reach the spot. He had no intention of
pulling its ears, however, for he drew
it gently to the bars and kissed it
right on the face.

TRAVELLERS THERMOMETERS.
A Variety of Them Are Made-sum.
mer the Time of the Great
est Demand.

There is no end to the variety of
thermometers, said a dealer in such
things to a New York Sun reporter.
"They include, for instance, thermom-
eters for travellers use. The oldest
style has a nickel-plated metal case
within which the glass mercury tube
is held when not in use. With the
glass inside the metal case and
screwed down it is securely and safe
ly carried. Another sort of travellers
thermometer has the tube upon one
side of the lid of slender little rose
wood box.
"The newest style of travellers
thermometer has the tube secured to
the inner side of two narrow, hand
somely finished pieces of rosewood
that are held together at one end by
hinge. Closed, these two pieces of
rosewood shut up together with the
glass tube between them and are Sc
cured by little clasp like pocket
book clasp. In use this holder is
opened widely, the hinge being so
made as to permit of moving one part
through three-quarters of a circle,
one part being then placed fat on
the shelf or dressing case, or wher-
ever the thermometer may be put,
the part with the tube attached
standing up, then inclined a little
from the upright back from the
hinge. These two last-named kinds
sell each at two dollars.
"As we sell more outdoor thermOm-
eters in winter, so we sell more trav-
elers' thermometers in summer. At
this season they are articles of daily
sale"
