There was jolly crowd of fishermen
at Brewington lake last Friday, and
naturally, after eating, politics became
the subject of conversation. 1t so hap
pened that an "Appelt man" got into
the hands of the Philistines and they
overpowered him, but after while
there came to his rescue another 'Ap-
pelt man" and the enthusiastic opposi-
ton dwindled into the position OF the

She earned a salary which at that mo-
ment was unprecedented.
During her prime she was one of the
ablest opponents of Wagnerian music that
has ever sung on the Austrian or any
other stage.
To-day, the older generation Of playgoers
who remember her rendition of the roles of
Brunhilde, Elsa and Armida was enthu-
siastic when recalling bygone times.
But in course Of years the magnificent
voice detefiorated.
Rather than occupy a position other than
that to which she had been accustomed.
Frau Materna resolved to retire.
Her farewell appearance at the Imperial
Opera House in Vienna. the scene of so
many of her former triumphs, is still re-
membered.
When at the fall of the curtain she
stepped before the footlights with stream
ing eyes to bid her final adieux, there were
many among the audience who burst into
tears.

good-kcaTtedness. however. prevented her

were not in unison with her income.
Indeed, 1t was an open secret in Vienna
society that on one OF two occasions wealthy
patrons had assisted her financially for the
sake of old times.
She seemed deaf to the advice Of her well
wishers.
Surrounded by fair weather friends she
continued her former mode Of life.
Some five years ago she purchased the
Castle of st. Johann. situated about half an
hours drive from Graz.
She furnished sumptuously, and conveyed
thither the numberless treasures she had
accumulated in the course of her brilliant
career.
From the start. however. her expenditure
far exceeded her income.

Amalie Materna's Interpretation of Wag-
merriam roles did much toward popularizing
the great master in America.
She reached the rare height OF success
where she stood alone in the sunlight Of
admiration
She heard the rising music of popular opin-
ion. whose theme was her own greatness.
To-day she is in the valley, ove~rshadowed
skirts Of golden favor.
The chatelaine of a picturesque castle in
Austria, a wonder house of art and refined
comfort. the fairy dream of her maturity,
was well-nigh realized.
Now it all has been swept from her as
though castle. tapestry. paintings. carvings,
books and marbles were things of a dream.
As the myths to which Wagner impaired
the mysticism of his music were a part Of
her stage life, so they seem to have mingled
with the natural.
The analogy at once arises of her gaining
the Nibelungen Ring of success, only to
fall under its luckless spell.
Frau Materna is a charming woman and
made many friends during her visits to this
country.
The following story of her misfortune will
be read with regret not only by them. but
by the thousands of the general public who
loved her for her art:

Johnstown, Pa, July 14.-It can be
stated that of the 600 men supposed to
have entered the mouth of the rolling
mill mine of the Cambria Steel COM
pany, ninety are known to be dead and
twenty-five reached. Four hundred,
so the mine officials claim, escaped
when the explosion occurred, leaving
Lightweight still to be accounted for.
One of the volunteer rescuers who
came out with this load of dead stated
that fire was raging in parts of the
mine. Most of those who were brought
out alive had saved themselves by
crawling into a chamber and turning
valve on the compressed air pipe line
which runs along the entry.

junction of the Blue and the Kaw ever

the Big Blue, covering the lower part
about six inches. The rivers just east
of Manhattan spread out several miles
wide, covering hundreds of acres of
corn and wheat. Parties in boats
went through the low lands, aiding
farmers to move from their homes to
higher places. Hundreds of hogs have
been drowned in the lower .sctions.
Water several feet deep covers all the
country roads leading in from the east
and south, and many bridges have
been washed out on the smaller
streams A freight train was wrecked
at the turntable. Water had backed
into the basin and the foundation was
softened, which caused the table to tip
over, throwing the engine into the pit
in several feet of water.

GOOD NEWS PRED)N|NATES.
Less Than The Customary Summer
IdIeness.
PRICES FULLY MAINTAINED.

New York, July 14.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
Good news predominates, although
unfavorable weather proved a draw
back at many points and new labor.
disputes arose. There is less than the
customary midsummer idleness in man
ufaeturing industries. despite the
scarcity of fuel Commodity prices are
fully maintained. Railway earnings
thus far available for June average 90
per cent larger than last years and
20. 6 per cent above those of 1900. New
England shoe shops are more fully
engaged than vt any previous time
during this year Union leather is
firm, but domestic buyers are taking
little hemloclz, the best inquiry being
for export. Upper leather is active at
! the west. A large purchase of packer
hides has strengthened the tone of
Chicago, while Texas hides arrive more
freely and concessions are made. Ex-
port orders for cotton goods are still
disappointing, and the home demand
is quiet, yet mills are occupied. At the
south there is disposition to delay
spinning until the new crop begins to
move, and this tendency is also report
ed in England. In woolens the best
feature is the recorder business in
heavy weights, quick delivery being
desired.
Corn has again been the prominent
feature of the markets for domestic
staples. Spectators at the west Sc
cured control of the 100000 bushels
in the visible supply, and compelled
| the short interests to cover contracts
at disastrously high prices. Farmers
reserves are evidently insignificant,
for attractive prices do not bring out
even a fair volume of receipts. Wheat
was quiet and strong and exports from
all parto of the United States were
only 2, $50, o92 bushels, compared with
1883, 736 bushels a year ago.
