Abrupt End of Church Service-Ths

Among the amusing instances of the
humor of the parish clerk that are told
is q story OF clerk who went to
sleep as the preacher went into the
pulpit. That day the parson had pre-
pared q particularly impressive ser.
mon, dividing 1t, according to custom,
into many parts. When the firstly"
was concluded the parson paused for
breath, and the clerk, awaking and
believing that the discourse had come
to an end, pronounced the usual Arr

passed out he slipped coin into the

the curate. "They have, SIR" replied

MARVELLOUS RESCUE
OF ENTOMBED MINER
POTTSVILLE, Pa, Nov. /;

PoTTSVILLE, Pa, Nov. ID.
Imprisoned for eighty-seyen hours.
several hundred feet under the earth,
almost directly under his own home
where his wife and children mourned
for him as dead, Michael McCabe. of
Gilberton, was this morning taken
from his tomb barely alive after one
of the most marvellous rescues in the
history of anthracite mining.
CHAMBER CAVED IN.
Since Saturday afternoon, when the
top OF the chamber in which he was
working caved in, and caused rush
of culm and water from the surface,
relays of workingmen have been work
ing INCREASINGLY to reach him under
the forlorn hope that he might still be
alive.
DETECTED SCRATCHING.
Shortly after midnight the rescuers
detected scratching noise which told
them that McCabe was still living and
with renewed vigor fresh reliefs were
put at work and at O'Clock this
morning he was reached.
He had not changed his position
| from the time the rush occurred as he
feared that by moving about another
rush of colm might start which would
end his life. He thought he had been
imprisoned for at least week and
was so weak for want of water that he
could scarcely speak and was unable
to walk.
REMOVED TO HOME.
| He was removed to his home where
the house of mourning was changed to
one of rejoicing.
Arrangements were made last night
to bore hole in hope of reaching the
entombed miner and supplying him
with water and food until his rescue
could be made in case he still lived.
DEMONSTRATION.
McCabe's wife and three small chill
dren, who had stayed with the rescu-
ers through the long effort to save him,
were overcome with joy. The rescue
of McCabe has astounded mining ex-
perts. who had given opinions that it
was utterly impossible to save him
and that it would take months to
reach the place where he wastburied.
A demonstration is being arranged il
honor of the remarkable efforts iof the
rescuers who doggedly continued their
work in the face of every discourage
ment and without any evident hope OF
! success

NO OPPOSITION
DEVELOPED

A hearing was held In court Satur-
day relative to the application of oiti-
zens for the legal abandonment of the
old Petriken cemetery on Bloom street.
A number of citizens under oath re-
lated what they knew of the old ceme-
terry, establishing without the least
doubt the several allegations, namely.
that the old burial ground is nuis-
anoe-that no owners can be found for
the tract-that it stands in the way of
onward march of improvement, etc.
Among the witnesses who testified
were: Walter o. Green, John Doster,
Alexander Foster, DR.. Jno. Swiesfort,
CounciImen George B. Jacobs and
Andrew Schatz. Street Commissioner
E. S. Miller and T. J. Rogers, the lat
ter trustee of the Grove Presby terian
church
Mr. Rogers explained how the old
Petriken cemetery detracts from ap-
pearances and the value of the church
property In his opinion every vestige
of the old burial ground ought to be
obiterated and the tract made an adj
junct of the park.
Councilman Jacobs explained that
it is the intention of the borough to
vacate and relay" the alley between
the Petriken cemetery and the park,
provided the former be legally aband-
oned. The cemetery will be added to
the park.
No one appeared at the hearing to
offer objection to the abandonment of
the old cemetery and the court made a
final decree, which is in part as fol-
lows:

The Street IOafer.

Tie street loafer is undesirable in
any city. but how to get rid of him is
an unsolved problem, The Canonsburg
Daily Notes says: "At Monongahels
the merchants are asking the city
councils to take some steps to put a
stop to street loafing. They say it
h1rts business to have crowds of loaf
ers in front of, or near to the stores.
No doubt that is correct; and it is
just as injurious to business in other
towns as it is in Monongahela. 1t
should be put stop to everywhere. ~

EFFECT OF WOMEN VOTING.
British Writer Tells Of Conditions In
New Zealand.

New Zealand was the FIRST Britioh
colony TO adopt women's suffrage
as far back rs $685." says a writer In
the London Chronicle. The New
Zealand woman was given universal
adult suffrage. Though she had not
sought II. she immediately used Il
Out OF 100000 women 100000 had
placed themselves on the register In
few months. and 10000 voted In the
general election Of November. 1893.
They voted peacefully and In ord3
during the day while the men were
at work. and left the booths to the
men In the evening. They have votee
with similar regularity and orderli-
ness ever since. How do the women
use their powers, Very calmly, by
all accounts. Roughly, women make
very much the same use OF the fran
chIse as do men. The result has not
produced either new heaven or q
new hell. Men have not been de-
prived OF their rights. There has
been no disorder or unseemly behav.
ior--no strange revolution In dress or
manners. Enfranchisement has led
neither 20 divided households nor d.
vided skirts. Families. as q mat.
ter OF fact. generally vote on the
same side. But on the other hand.
there Is a general agreement that fam.
ny life has become brighter. that hus-
bands and wives have more subjects
In common 20 talk about. and that
women are really setting themselves
TO study and watch public AFFAIRS.
The effects. In fact. have been rath-
or social than political Women seem
TO be treated with more real respect
and not merely at election times
There has arisen between the sexes
that sense Of equality which Is per
haps the only permanent and enduring
social basis. Speaking generally. they
have simply become citizens. whose
part In public affairs Is not sharply
distinguished from that OF men. New
Zealand women have simply stepped
into equality. And IA years OF polit
ical life have shown them equal 70
that equality. Working side by side
with man. woman still keeps her
place-'not like to like. but like In
difference
The word pictures OF which colon
lists used TO have so many given them

gotten. husbands uncared for. dinners
uncooked. dress and appearances neg
lected-have already almost passed
