sarf Bath without Going
Into the Water.

Individuality and personal vanity
shrink in the presence of the great
ocean," remarked a Detroit clergy
mans wife, who had just returned
from the seashore, relates the De-
troit Free Press, land the perform
ances If average humanity at a large
bathing resort are intensely inter-
esting. People forget themselves and
do all sorts of funny things. Sit
ting on the beach at Ocean Grove the
other day watching the bathers, !
saw two stout ladies in bathing suits
come trotting down near the water;
they were both quite elderly-nearly
so l should say-and / wondered that
they felt strong enough to go into
the SURF unattended.
But, bless you, the two dear old
bodies-as much like two elderly in
fants as anything else-had no idea
of battling with the waves. They
sat down at the oceans edge ano
rested bit. How droll they looked
in the funny little skirts, blouses and
straw hats of the sea shore costume.
One of them carried a large glass
fruit jar, ana it occurred to my IDLY
curious mind that she was going TO
pack it full of sea sand to carry home
in her trunk. But, no. In few
minutes she got up, trotted to the
sea, filled the jar with water, trotted
back, and emptied it over the head
of the other lady, who gasped and
sputtered, but said it was delightful
The shower bath, of course, ran
down over her shoulders, wetting her
thoroughly.
''This process was repeated three
times; then the nice old lady who
had had her handmade ocean bath
arose and the other sat down TO en-
JOY her ocean dip, conveyed to her IN
the same way. She, too, seemed to
enjoy the salt water hugely. After
it was all over, they trotted back to-
gether TO the bath house, to get
dressed in time for luncheon"

COLLEGE FOR WOMEN.
Develops Them Physically as wen
as Mentally I'm These Modern
Times.

With the increased study of the sub
iect of physical culture there has come
to women, as well as to men, greater
respect for sound body and much
clearer knowledge as to how far mus
cular strength is TO be regarded as an
indication of robust health. There has
been a mad rush into the realm of
physical development. Fifteen years
ago it was the gymnasium and its APP
paratus which attracted the greatest
attention. says Woman's Home Com
panion. Men exercised various mus
cles. and sometimes developed them
selves into startling freaks. Then
came a reaction in favor Of outdoor
sports, and il is TO this reaction that
much good may be attributed The
process was similar with the physical
development of girls, and to-day the
planning of both is for more salts
factory effect. Fresh air, moderation,
pleasure and interest are fundamental
alike for men and women in the pro-
motion Of health through physical de-
velopment. One cannot but be inn
pressed with the greater proportion of
fine, healthy girls and women one now
meets at school and college. The day
Of the pale, fragile girl, subject to
faints. who was once the type, has
given place to the reign of the out~of-
door beauty. whose attraction comes
from health and the high spirits incl
dent to its enjoyment. The evolution
Of such women can easily be measured
from the methods of sport now in
vogue in many of our large colleges
for women.

hind the court, awaiting the arrival of
his carriage to take him home. He had
had an exceptionally hard days work
and felt weary, and when the clerk of
the court asked him If he would see

"0h, well, show here in. I'll see her

The woman was ushered in. She was
dressed in black and wore a heavy veil.

Leaves Nothing to His Wife or
Grandchildren.

Washington, Jan. S.-The long-ex-
pected will of Charles Lewis Pullman,
brother of the sleeping-car magnate,
who died n few weeks ago, has been
filed in this city. The will is one of
three, and was drawn. it is said, in
New York just before the testator's
death. BY it his wife and grand
children, who are now living in Chica-
go. are cut off, and the estate is dis
tributed between his sister, his niece
and the wife and daughter of his busi-
ness partner. Thus Il third goes to
Miss Emma L. Hawk, of Bemus Point,
n. Y, third to his sister. Helen
West, the other third being divided
between Mamie Z. Metcalf and Marie
Louise Metcalf
The omission of other relatives is
thus explained in the will: Making
this my last will and testament 1 have
expressly omitted providing for my
grandchildren and other relatives for
the reason that l feel that my estate
ought to be distributed among persons
herein mentioned. What 1 have has
been in great part made through the
assistance of my said relatives" The
two grandchildren in Chicago are Mar
garet Pullman and William A. Pull.
man.
The estate is said to consist of about
$4,000 in cash in bank and large
block of shares in the Automatic Ven
tilating company and other patents of
the testator, whose value may be very
large, but is uncertain. The testator
Quarreled during his life with his bet

rate Of speed.
A message had been sent to Two

The train was rushing along in it's race

anything to avoid an accident. O'Hara
was given to the doctors in time to

STORY wAsHAIKI TOLD
How He and His Bride Were Treated at
the Very Door of the Church.

! Many questions We're asked the wit
nesses by the commissioners. COun-
sci for tie miners attempted to break
down some of the stories, but they did
not succeed in shaking the testimony
1t is the intention of the attorneys for
the nOn-union men to occupy about
! two more days in presenting this sort
of evidence. The most interesting
| story of the DAY was that told by
homasWasha1ski, of Hazleton, n clerk
for Pardee X Co., who was married
on the night of Sept. 16 last. He was
at work at the colliery, and his neigh
bOrs began to annoy him.
On the night of the wedding a small
crowd gathered at the Roman Catholic
church, and as the bridal party entered
the edifice Washaiski and his bride
were called "scabs." Coming out after
the ceremony he was assaulted by the
waiting crowd which had greatly in
creased. The driver of the carriage
was not permitted to take the couple
home, and the witness sought refuge
in the parochial residence and the
bride was escorted home in n trolley
car by friends. While in the parochial
residence the crowd remained in the
vicinity, calling the bridegroom vile
names and yelling 'scab.' Mt the rec

Later on. the witness said. he man.
aged to get away from the house and
spent the night I'm. the colliery, being
afraid to go to his home. The bride
spent an anxious night, as some un-
known persons came to the house and
threw stones at the place. All listened
to the story with close attention and
Chairman Gray's only remark was:
''What sort of n community is this,
anyway"
Charles Carl, of Mahanoy City, a
loader boss at the Tunnel Ridge col
liery, of the Reading company, told a
pathetic story. He was compelled to
remain wi.hin the confines of the col
liery because he was afraid to go
home. When his wife and children
visited him at the mines they were fol-
lowed by jeering crowds. He learned
that his mother was dying, and TAX
ing n circuitous route he reached the
home of his mother just after she had
passed away. While she was lying
dead in the house he was annoyed,
called vile names and his life threat
ened. He did not attend the funeral of
his parent, because he was afraid he
would be killed.
As an instance of lawlessness at one
eolliery David L. Jenkins, of Potts
Vile, a coal and iron policeman at the
Silver Creek colliery of the Reading
company at New Philadelphia. gave a
fst of acts of violence at or near that
mine. 1t included the tying of rail-
road ties and spikes on the railroad
tracks over which coal trains ran; the
turning Of a switch. which was dis
