State papers report that there
are quite a number of tramps
coming into the state just now.
They claim to be looking for
work, but in reality, they all
avoid it on one pretext or an
other. They are more lawless
than usual, many encounters
with them are reported. None
have reached here yet, but when
they do, no time should be lost
in making them move on.

A TERROR OFF THE CONGO STATE.
Octopus Which Frequents Cnverns
and Devour Mems Brains.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Antwerp, Aug. 5.--A Belgian officer
just returned from the Congo Free
State reports that in the caverns of the
Uelle river there dwells species of &C.
topus that presents grave danger to
all who navigate the river in small
boats.
The strange beasts are called meg
we" by the natives, and are very num-
erous In the neighborhood of the station
of the Amadis owing to the number of
rocks and caves in that region. They
attack the native canoes, capsizing
them easily with their tentacles, and,
according to their state of hunger, seiz-
ing one or two men.
The octopus drags his human prey to
his cavern, and there, without inflicting
the slightest external wounds. feeds on
his Victims brains by inserting the
points of his tentacles in his nostrils.
He generally keeps his prey fifteen
hours, then lets. the body float out on
the river.
II was an eye witness to disaster
of this kind" says the Belgian. "A
canoe was capsized in the river, and
one of the three occupants disappear
ed. When the survivors swan ashore
they told us that an octopus had turned
their boat over and carried off their
companion.
THE next morning about 9 o'clock
the body was found floating, and no
trace of any wound could be found,
while the only abnormal appearance
was the swollen state of the nostrils.
On examination, it was found that the
brains had been extracted. The natives
of the UelTei an dread the 'nlegwe,'
while those OF the Itimbri know moth

of Pennsylvania for work in the mine.
That mears that almost every break
er boys father must have committed
perjury in order to place his sons In a
life employment that shuts out all
hope of an education, not only from
books, but also from contact with the
ref1nements or amenities of civilized
life: that so limits his field of oppor-
tunity that he is CT necessity condemn
ed to a life that shrivels his intellect,
begrimes his soul, and tends to make
of him a brute.
Poor as the miner is, the two or three
dollars week that his child can earn
In the mine do not make enough diff
ference in the family income to COM
pensate for the lack of education and
opportunity which offers to the child
his only hope of ever escaping from
the prison of a miners life. To a very
large extent, the miner takes his child
to the breaker from choice,
The Stocking Factories.
Another indication Of tx, preva&nce
of the child-stunting habit in Anthra-
cite is the appearance III the land dur
ing the last ten -ears of the stocking
factories, which make a market for
the labor of miners little daughters
A considerable percentage of all the
hosiery worn in the United States is
produced in the enormous mills in the
vicinity of Wilkesbarre. In these mills
are employed thousands of little girls.
They are paid under the piece work
system, and are able to earn from $1.50
to 50 per week. The limit of age at
which girls are allowed to work in
Pennsylvania is 10. For every child
who earns a pittance at the stocking
loom an affidavit is on file in the mill
Office declaring that she is 13 years
old.
Why have the stocking manufactur-
ers selected Anthracite for their fac
tory sites? Because they know that
the child labor demanded by their bust
ness can be more readily supplied in
the land of the miner than anywhere
else in the United States. They real
lied the prevalence of child-stunting
when they came to Anthracite.

FOR MIDSUMMER TRAVEL.

Miss Caroline WilmerdiEg, says the
New York Times, passing through the
city recently wore simple travelling
gown of ecru pongee. The skirt touch
ed the floor, and was scant; its full
ness at the bottom was given by
goring instead of an applied f1ounce of
plaitings, and the seams had several
rows of stitching in silk matching the
color of the pongee. The pouched bod
ice had shirtwaist sleeves gathered in
to inch-wide bands of pongee covered
with white lace, and there was lace
stock. The pretty feature of the gown
was the very deep and ripple -fronted
separate collar and revers of fine white
batiste, bordered with a deep band of
heavy white lace. The collar began
well down from the stock and was
sailor-shap ped in the back. In the front
it was fastened just an inch or so
from the armholes, each side being
shaped like half-square, with a. point
at the top where it Joined the back
portion and another at the bottom
where it touched the girdle, the middle
point fiaring out at the sides, the ba-
tiste dropping In full folds. The toque
worn had a round crown and Drim a
trife higher; this latter turned straight
up all around, forming indentations,
and was modified tricorne shape. 1t
was of dark blue straw ribbed hort-
zontally with white and had two short
white quills-or rather, ends of quills
at the left of the front.

WAS A DOUBLE SURPRISE.
Two Weddings Where Arrangements
Had Been Made but for One.

Two Weddings Where Arrangements
Had Been Made but for One.
A surprise party that proved a.
double surprise was given at the home
of Mrs. Alice A. Martin, No. 226 West
Broad street, last night. A number
of her friends and those of Mr.. S. L.
Todd were invited to the house, and
after they arrived they learned that
they had been invited to witness the
marriage of their hostess and Mr..
Todd which took place, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. J. L. Smith
of Bulloch county.
The friends were possibly not as
much surprised as they might have
been but for the fact that the mar
riage-to-be was given publicity in the
afternoon, but genuine surprise was
in store for both the friends and the
newly married couple, for shortly after
the ceremony daughter of the groom,
formerly Miss Carrie Todd, confessed
to her father that she had secretly
been married Thursday. Her husband,
were forgiven by the father, and then
the guests were called on for Sec
ond lot of congratulations.
The marriage of Miss Carrie Todd
and Mr.. Coffee took place in the par
lor of Rev. Father John S. Mccarthy
of St. Patricks Church. After the
ceremony the couple went to their diff
ferent homes, determined to keep the
wedding a secret until the time should
seem suspicious for it's announcement
This opportunity came last night.
