M. e. Church was Filled Last
Night to Hear rlusicai.

The Epworth League last night
rendered it's last number of the
series in the M. e. church. The
entertainment which WAS composed
entirely of local talent, brought
out packed house, there being
between 800 and 100 present. The
program consisted of twenty num-
bers, which were well rendered
and received with applause. On
account of death in the family
Mr.. Rinehart and Miss Burns
were unable to take part and on
that account the program was
cut shorter than it would have
otherwise been. The verdict this
morning was that the entertain
ment WAS one of the best that has
ever been rendered in the city,
and the League has did itself
proud in this series of entertain
ments. Last nights program WAS
under the direction of Professor
Hilley who certainly knows how
to please the people.

On one occasion great public din

town of Boston. and he was asked TO
sit for his picture to Gilbert Stuart the

braggart. When Hull visited his studio
Stuart took great delight in entertain
ing him with anecdotes of his English
success, stories of the Marquis of This

ed how elegant was the society to
which he had been accustomed.
Unfortunately in the midst of this
grandeur Mrs. Stuart, who did not
know that there was sitter, came in
with her apron on and her head tied

An elderly woman with an impedi-

her own at the corner of Twelfth and
Walnut streets the other day. AS each

times before, the conductor would i'm
patiently exclaim, No; take the next
gar Then he would pull the strap
and the car would go ahead, leaving
The woman at the crossing.
There are five different lines passing
out Walnut street at this point, ard If
the woman could read the signs she
disregarded them. Finally conductor
more considerate than the others help
ed her aboard and allowed her to ex.
plain afterward. After three blocks
had been trayersed he found that she
wanted to go to Darby, and his was a

beamed her joy. '.Yuh-yuh-young man,

Dynamite In Coal Mines.

According to United States Consul
Brunot, at st. Etienne, a local inventor
named Albert has produced a success
full apparatus for exploding dynamite
with safety in coal mines where gas is
present in dangerous volume, without
the use of electricity, the installation of
which is always costly and subject to
disarrangement
The instrument seems to cover the ex-
posed end of the safety fuse, to fire it
and to receive all flame: and sparks
thrown off without allowing any com
munication with the atmosphere.
A copper tube receives the end of the
fuse to a depth of several inches. At
the other end of the tube is fixed a per.
cussion cap, similar to those used In
toy pistols, and lying against the side
of the tube, which Is pierced in It's turu
by small hole. The distance between
the extending end of the fuse and the
percussion cap is only 07 inch. The end
of the tube with the percussion cap is
introduced into another cylinder, also
of copper, which contains the firing
mechanism. TO operate the apparatus
the tube containing the fuse is held In
the left hand, while with the palm of
the right smart blow is struck ON the
button of the percutient, when the cap
explodes
The gas produced by the fuse fills
the cylinder, says the Black Diamond,
but cannot escape outside, unless extin-
guished, as the holes in the cylinder are
covered with metallic gauze. In prac-
tice, the tubes are prepared outside, in
the daytime, by the lamp cleaner, SO
that no stray percussion caps may be
brought into the mine
