they managed to rescue his body with
the heavy line, just as he had planned.
Then Conkling called for another
diver, but not a man responded. They
said they weren't that kind of fools.
'All right" said the captain, in his
5usinesslike way; then I'll go down
myself and stop that hole" And he
called the men to dress him.
At this time Capt. Conkling was IS
years old and had retired long since
from active diving. But he was as
strong as horse still, and no man
had ever questioned his courage.
In vain they tried to dissuade him.
''I'll stop that hole," said he, land I
don't want cny extra rope, either"
He kept his word. He went down,
and he stopped the hole, but it was
with his dead body, and Today some
where in the Holyoke dam lie the
bones of brave old Capt. Conkling, in
cased in a full diving dress, helmet,
hose and life line, buried in that mass
of masonry. No man ever dared go
down after his body.-From Cleveland

To Clean Jewels.

Every little while all brooches,
rings and such things that are in con-
slant use should be brushed with a
toothbrush that has been dipped in
eau de cologne. If the setting is open
it must be done from the back, and
care must be taken not to loosen the
stones Then lay the things in box
of jewelers. sawdust, which has been
slightly heated beforehand, and leave
for an hour, says the Ohio State Jour
nal. Gold chains may be washed in
warm soapsuds, drying them on soft
towel by pulling back and forward.
They may also be dried in sawdust
and the particles blown or busted out
afterward. Be sure and get them dry,
as they will be apt to become worn
between the links if any dampness re-
mains.

1t is said that conditions and ones
station in life create the difference in
the sense of appreciation of men, and
this morning this was plainly demon
strated when Constable P. D. DOYLE
conducted an auction for some time
in front of the office of Squire Will
liam Sellers, selling the trunk and con-
tents of Mrs. Mollie Smiddey. This
woman lived in suite of rooms in
the vicinity of Vine avenue, with her
little girl, bright-eyed child with
waving curls of raven black, and
every one who saw the child was at
tracted by her happy disposition and
beauty. The woman started to leave
the city few days ago for Augusta,
Ca, it is claimed, leaving a number of
unpaid bills, and an attachment proc
ess was procured before Squire Sell
lers, and Constable Doyle was given
the paper to serve. He attached a
trunk and published the sale for to-
day before the magistrates office. He
began the auction with a small bevy
of court officers, lawyers and casual
passers, and the officer rapidly dis
patched the business. He sold several
articles of wearing apparel of the
woman, many articles Of furnishings
for the mantel and parlor, and when
nearly through, or to the bottom of
the trunk, he grabbed down and Sc
cured bundle of clothing which the
little girl had worn.

Couldn't Sell Her Doll

''This looks hard, boys, but I have
to sell 'em, SO how much am I bid?"
One of the constables bid them in,
and the crier proceeded with the sale.
The next article sold was pair Of
shoes that the little girl had worn,
and the officer obdurately sold the
goods without remark.
The next sale was one that stagger-
ed him. He found large and beauti-
full bisque doll, carefully wrapped in
a silk cloth. He hesitated a moment,
and said:
"This must be sold, too, so how
much am 1 bid?"
repeated:
How much am l bid, boys?'
That the officer was affected was
visible Ike De Marcus was on the
precluded him with:
Boys, l can't do it have little
girl at home, and l know how she
loves her doll will send this doll to
that little Smiddey girl in Augusta if
it is the last act of my life"
The officer wiped the tears from his
eyes, laid the doll aside and proceeded
with the sale.
But there was little animation
thereafter in his conduct, and it seem
ed that the ardor of the crowd in bid
ding had been mothered.-Knoxville

Making of a Skeptic

When father got his picture took he had
a winnin' smile.
Jes' like an angel whispered to him
every little while;
He wore a stand-up collar and a button
hole bouquet,
An looked the family over in a kind an
patient way,
Like nothin' ever riled him. None who
saw him would have said
He'd have the heart to take a strap to
me out In the she'd
The photograph can never do full justice
to the look
That fathers face had on the day he got
his picture took.
But when we got back home it wasn't
any time at all
Till father smoked his pipe an left his
coat out in the hall,
An looked as fierce as anything, an
started in to scold
Because the steak was tough an every
thing was gettin' cold.

Hand-embroidered towels are the
latest vogue in towels for actual use
where something specially nice is de-

plain, fine huckaback or other fine
towel fabric taking the place of
damask or other decoration. A deep
hemstiched hem is the usual finish,
and one end only is embroidered

RESULT IN MAINE
Republicans Victorious by the Usual
Large Plurality.


Portland, Me-, Sept. 13.-The Re-
publicans carried the state in the BIZ
ennial election yesterday, the returns
indicating a plurality of about 81 900
for William Cobb, the Republican can
d;date for governor, compared with
1884 for Hill, the party candi-
date four years ago. The Democrats
have probably made slight gains in
both branches of the legislature, but
the body will remain strongly Repub-
lican and will probably reflect United
States Senator Eugene Hale. The
vote was the heaviest cast since 1888.
The four present congressman were
also returned.
The party was also successful in
many county contests, of which there
were more than the usual number.
While the various county contests
were bitter and hard fought, general
interest was fixed on the probable plu-
rality for Mr.. Cobb, the Republican
candidate, the Democrats aiming to
reduce it below the $4,000 of 1900, and
the Republicans determined to pre-
vent a falling off. To that end the
leaders put forth every effort, espe.
cially in the cities and large towns.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Savage attacks
were made upon non-union workers at
the stockyards last night, and in the
fights that followed eight persons were
injured, four of them so severely that
it was necessary to take them to hos
pitfalls. At Halstead and Root streets
two young women, Annie Cook and
Mamie Jasper, were dragged from a
streetcar, pounded over the head,
knocked down and badly beaten before
the police arrived Miss Cook was
severely cut in the face, her shoulder
was injured, and she was taken to the
hospital. Miss Jasper was struck with
a brick, and her face and forehead
were badly cut. 1t was found neces-
sary to take her also to the hospital.
Three policemen rescued the women
from the mob, but it refused to dis
perse, and continued to throw stones.
A westbound car which happened to
pass during the trouble was struck
by several of the missiles, and two of
the passengers were struck. One wo-
man was hit in the mouth with a brick
and all her front teeth were knocked
out.
Anton Ashutra, a driver for a brew
cry, tried to drive through the crowd
and was hit in the back of the head
with brick and knocked from his
wagon. His scalp was badly cut.
= A call for help had been sent in and
officers soon arrived, whereupon the
crowd soon scattered. Ten minutes
after the officers returned to the sta
ton they were called out to suppress
a second riot in which seven colored
men employed in the stockyards were
attacked by large crowd of strike
sympathizers. Policemen went to the
assistance of the colored men and
made strong fight against the crowd.
One of the negroes was chased into an
alley where he was knocked down,
kicked and badly bruised. A number
of the crowd were hurt by stones
