ANOTHER ENoCH ARDEN.
W. L. Barton Reappears After Ab-
 sence of Six Years.

After an absence of six years, dur ing which he had been reported killed in an accident on the Ere railroad, William l.. Barrow, who formerly worked as a freight brakeman on the New York division of the New Haven road, made a startling appearance at his former boarding house on State street Monday afternoon in search of an old chum The attaches of the boarding place who had received word of his death, thought Bartow's ghost was the caller. Barlow left here rather suddenly little more than SIX years ago. None of his friends could &C., count for his disappearance, but a rail- road man who had worked on the Erie said that Barlow was working for that company.
 About three years ago the report was received by a number of his friends here that the former New Havener had been killed in a freight wreck on the Erie road, but this story was proven false yesterday. After he had been taken for a ghost and the women and some of the men boarders at the State street house had quickly made their exit from the dining room into which he walked, Mir. Barlow proved he wa, not visitor from other worlds, but | had just called to inquire after som, of his old friends on the New Havel road
 Barlow is quite well known anon, New Haven railroad men in this cit, and at one time was prominent in som of the railroad labor unions.

A. O. H. BARRED OUT.
Priest Refuses to Permit Order to
 Attend Church Funeral.

Philadelphia, Jan. 7.-Members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians were greatly stirred up to-day through the refusal of the Rev. D. I. McDermott church in this city, to permit funeral services to be held in his church over the body of John Daly, a parishioner, because Hiberian lodge had been in- vited to attend the obsequies.
 The funeral was to have been held yesterday, but because of Father Me- Dermott's opposition to the Hiberni- ans 1t had to be postponed. He. how ever, agreed to permit the funeral to take place from St Mary's only on condition that the invitation to the Hibernians be revoked. The widow agreed. and in the funeral notice printed to-day it was stated that the invitation to the Ancient Order of Hi- bernians to attend the funeral is here- by revoked" The funeral was held from the church to-day without the presence of the Hibernians.
 Father McDermott, in explanation of his opposition to the society, said he formed an opinion of the Hiberni. ans during the Molly Mcguire reign oi terror in the Pennsylvania coal re. gions. He said;
 My absolute opposition to the An. cient Order of Hibernians is based or my knowledge and the facts in my possession about the Molly Mcguire. which I got directly from the con demned Molly Maguires themselves No power on earth will ever make m, recede one inch from my stand agalns the Hibernians. l have given my tes timony against them, and what I saiC was true and is true. and I canno compromise on it."
 Tt is fierce" said M, T. Keenan president of the Irish-Americai club and member of the Ancient Or der of Hibernians, in commenting oi the affair. But what is the use t, raise any objections? Father McDer mott is boss of his church, and n, man will ever shake him in his prin ciple"

MOUNT ROYAL SAFE.
Long Overdue Steamer With 300 Im-
 migrants Puts Back.

Queenstown, Jan. 1.-The overdue steamer Mount Royal steamed slowly into Queenstown to-day, and the news of her safety was received with ex- pressions of delight in shipping circles She had not been heard from in many days, having been last reported off the Lizard on December 10, and watch was being kept for her on both sides of the Atlantic and as far south as Ber- muda.
 The Mount Royal belongs to the Canadian Railways Atlantic service. She left Antwerp December for St. John, N. B. She had on board 300 Hun- garian emigrants and crew of about 100 men. She was first definitely sighted off Old Head of Kinsale, six teen miles west of this port, early to- day. She was then proceeding slow ly under her own steam, and signalled that she was coming in here. She de- clined the help of a tug that was sent out to assist her. and came in alone
 The Mount Royal had trouble with her boilers, and this was the reason that she had to put back. She is a, best slow boat, and shortly after leaving the British coast she encoun. tered series of violent gales. She battled with the heavy weather for g fortnight, until Christmas eve, when serious trouble with her boilers devel. oped. The steamship was then in long ltude 24.50 west, latitude 45 north.
 The engine room staff ultimately sue ceeded in obtaining moderate suppl, of steam, but the weather was sucl that the captain reluctantly decided | was best to make for the Irish coast Consequently the steamship was head ed about and steamed slowly into port | Passengers and crew all are well

THE GREGORY TRADING COMPANY
Rain Spoiled Game.

The ball game last Sunday be-
tween Webb City and Baxter
Springs wac spoiled bv the rain.
In the first inning Webb City
scored a man, and when Baxter
went to the bat she scored four
men. The next inning was a
goose egg for both sides. The
third inning was played, and
each side scored a run. In the
fourth Webb City goose egged,
and Baxter scored. Then it
rained and spoiled the game, for
it takes at leaat five innings to
make a game. The rain saved
Webb City, and the boys of that
team know it. They are fine
lot of fellows, however, and will
try it again. But it was too bad
that the game was spailed, espe-
cially as the score was six to two
in favor of Baxter when the
spoil took place.
Next Sunday, at Ervin's park
in this city the Joplin and Bax-
ter teams will battle for suprem-
acy. It will be a good game, too,
as the Joplin team is being
strengthened, and it was already
strong.
Baxter's second nine went down
to Miami Sunday and wiped up
the earth with the second nine of
that place.

news FROM
The MINES.

The Hannibal & st. Joe mill
has been started up again, and is
producing steadily.
The Sweeney mill is making
lots of ore these days. The dirt
is very rich especially in lead.
The Good Luck is piling lots OF
rich ore on the dump. Several
tons of clean ore is in the bin.
The dirt from the Luther mine
is getting richer right along.
The lead dirt is especially rich.
The Lincolnville is one of the
most promising mines in the
camp. The ore is being cleaned
on hand jigs, and the dirt is very
rich.
The Hawkeye mine and mill is
producing big quantities of lead
and zinc each shift. The Hawk
is one of the best producers i'll the
district.
The Mason mill was fired up
again last week, and as soon as
the water can be pumped out OF
the ground the production OF
clean ore will be resumed.
Last week the following
amounts of ore were loaded out of
the Baxter Springs camp, and in
asmuch as the price of lead is go
ing up we can expect some big
lead sales now: Hawkeye, 65,-
900 pounds of zinc; Kramer-M Morse
Al, 4SO pounds of lead; E. F.
Sweeney, 1,73O pounds of lead.

Ry a Woman.

The original fox was a man,
the original grapes were the girls
he couldn't kiss.
Being a wife often means being
a servant with the wages left out
and the privilege of eating with
the family thrown in.
A mans desire for son is usu.
ally nothing but the wish to du-
plicate himself in order that such
a remarkable pattern may not be
lost to the world.
1t isn't the girls whom he has
loved and lost that a man signs
for; it's those whom he has loved
and never won.
1t is difficult to tell who is the
most grateful to Fate for his sex
the woman who watches her
husband while he is in the throes
of shaving or the man who sees
his wife getting into tight cor
set and a dress that buttons up
the back.
When a wife induces her hus-
band to get on the water wag-
owy against his will he is likely
to fall off with fearful splash.
Lazy men fancy that the wheel
of life is a roulette wheel on
which fortunes are won only by
chance.
