Railway Station Crushed.

The Pennsylvania railroad station was
crushed like an eggshell and now lies
upon it's side hundred feet from its
foundation. The loss to the McClena han
Granite Company will reach $4,000. The
company store at Rock Run was flooded
and a vast amount of merchandise ruined
many of Its houses were carried from
their foundations: its rock elevator is
swept away and a large stone warehouse
occupied by it was completely wrecked.
The planning mill and lumber yard of the
Rowland Manufacturing Company was
swept away. and the lumber, amounting
to millions of feet. strewn among tons of
ice. The loss to this concern will amount
to $4,000.

Building Picked Up; Swept Away

One of the freaks of the flood was in
connection with the one-story brick build
ing of the Tome Institute. This building
was picked up bodily. so to speak, by
the rushing water and fioated 100 feet
away, without so much as a single brick
being displaced. Those who occupied the
building had ample warning and sought
places of safety before the water reached
the structure.
The flood and ice gorge was the in
direct cause of a small-siZed strike among
about 200 railroad section hands this
afternoon. These men were landed about
mile and a half from the town from
trains sent out from Baltimore and Will
mington for the purpose of clearing the
tracks. The men walked TO town along
side the huge ice blockade.
When the men realized the dangerous
work they We're about to tackle they
placed their shovels upon their shoulders
and marched back to the trains, refusing
pointblank to work.

Friends in Need.

A young man in st. Louis who had
been told by his physicians that death
was likely TO come to him soon and
perhaps unexpectedly, had telephones
installed at his bedside in such man
ner that he might be able to call up
many friends in his last hour and bid
them goodby. The story is only one of
the passing tragedies which get into
the news columns every day. 1t may
be regarded as interesting as showing
how the telephone has brought mans
friends about him in a new, hitherto
impossible, fashion. But perha ps there
is deeper meaning In the action which
has been taken upon this mans behalf
than is to be found in q mere study of
utility. Deeper reflection suggests the
fact that perhaps one of the most
grievOus crosses imposed by death is
that of lonesomeness. If it is difficult
to live alone how much more heart
breaking must 1T be to die an a condi-
ton of isolation The man with q tele-
phone brought to his bedside will be
able to, call a word in parting: but
better still he will be able to have all
his friends around HMM thought and
heart at least. The novelist Thackeray
makes one of his most beautiful points
when after creating an impression of
INDIGESTION and lack of strength in the
character of Amelia Smedley he pays
her the final tribute of saying that her
father yearned to have her beside him
when the hour of death drew near. And
that, perhaps, is the deepest tribu1 e
you can pay to any friend-that YOU
would like to have him near when YOU
die.-St. Louis Times.

Cure for Poets.

The chief sin of the poet appears to
be that he is not content to write
poems about things that happen. but
when nothing happens he also wants
to write poem about that. The alien
lists and some laymen accordingly hava
cctne to look upon poetry as d disea Sc
and have been seeking d cure for it.
Arthur Spencer of Omaha admits
that he cannot do anything else but
write poetry and he wants to be cured.
He has offered to sell himself into ser
vftude for a period of one year in the
hope that he may be taught some gain
full occupation He is willing to put
himself in the hands of his purchaser
and leave his salary to be paid at the
end of the year. conditioned only that
ne get his bed and board during the
year. He insists that he is honest,
doesn't drink and, above all wants to
break himself of the poetry ha bit
We shall watch with much interest
the reformation of young Spencer. but
we have little hope that an ultimate
cure may be effected. The young
mans desire for reform may be based
on the material fact that he is not
eating regularly. We suspect that IL
he gets into some bank, or finds a way
into high finance, SO he may be able to
accumulate fortune in few years he
will become a backslider and start 10

tons at his own expense and making

Fishing With cormorants.

On the banks OF the river va we
saw many Chinese cormorant fishers
with their birds, which are very tame
and intelligent When fishing piece
of grass is first tied round their threats
to prevent them from swallowing the
fish, and they are afterward turned
into the water. The small fish they
can easily manage to bring back to the
boat, but when they find large speci-
men it sometimes needs the co-opera-
ton of two or three of the birds to
land it safely on their masters boat.
In this river the fishermen often catch
the great salamander. a huge newt or
water lizard. which sometimes reaches
a length Of ten to twelve feet and
whose flesh is much appreciated by
the Chinese.-Wide World Magazine.

THE GROWTH OF CONNECTICUT

The growth of population in Con-
necticut during the past ten years has
been a little less than that of the
neighboring New England states, but
it has been a state wide growth.
There has not been a county which
has shown loss, although in several
the gain is small.
It is ardently expected that Norwich
viii show a gain of 30 per cent, and
if the city does it is likely to lead all
other New London county towns. Since
the city's gain will have been made
greater by the town Of Preston's loss,
it will not be surprising if Preston
makes as large a loss as any town
in the state. Preston will not be to
blame, for she is simply the victim of
the ambition of the Rose of New
England" The Providence Journal
notes that the growth of this state
has been 22.7 per cent. to 266 per
cent. for Rhode Island, and is correct
when it says:
When the returns for the individ-
ual townships are published il will
be interesting to see to what, if any,
extent the drift away from the hill
towns has been checked, A consider
able proportion of the total number
of one hundred and sixty-eight towns
will no doubt be seen to have less
inha bitants than they had ten years
ago"

AN ExTRAvAGANT cAMPAIeNER.

Candidate Foss, the democratic nom
inee for governor of Massa chusetts is
a man of wealth who has made q for
tune by speculation and uses his for
tune to attain political success. He
has about as much sympathy for the
average man as the average man has
for yellow dog.
He has campaigned for the lieuten-
ant governorship, before. and his ex-
penditures to win second place are a
matter of record. Read what Senator
Lodge has to say of him:
when Mr.. Foss. on his own ad-
mission. spent s42,257 in his campaign
for lieutenant governor, he put out
more money than I have In my "a
years of public service / don't think
the voters of Massachusetts win per-
NIT the state to be sold to the high
est bidder.
Il ran five times at the polls as a
candidate for congress-" said Senator
Lodge, replying to the recent attack
upon him by Foss, my expenditures
in those campaigns average between
$4,000 and $1,000.
THE first time / ran for the senate
/ spent between $500 and $500 for
printing circulars and sending them
through the state. In my second and
third elections [ spent nothing. This
year / have contributed what I could
afford TO the state committee and !
wish that I we're rich enough to be
able to give more, for L regard the
election of Governor Draper as of
great importance not merely because
he is a republican, but for the honor
and good name of Massachusetts and
in the interests Of good government.
Il am not a Spectator. Since I
have been in public life in Washington
have carefully avoided any specula-
ton in the stock market and have felt
it necessary to keep myself as wholly
aloof from any investments which
could in any way be affected by leg
islation.
NO man who knows anything of
politics doubts that, if the democratic
party had been left to choose it's can
didate without the sinister use of
money, Mr.. Hamltn would have been
nominated.
The question now is whether he
can buy Massa chusetts. 1 do not be-
lieve the state is for sale. / do not
believe the venal vote so far as it
exists can decide the election"
This shows pretty well what kind
of a man the Bay state democrats
have taken up to win with.

As Winter Comes.

There is a notable brfskness in the
walk of persons on the streets these
days. Why is it? Only the ice man
walks slowly and lame. The man who
handles coal wears his hat on one
side and glares at anyone who ven
lures to speak to him. Why is it?
Is 1t possible that as the cold steals
upon US the dealers in fuel become as
naughty as do the men of frozen
goods in summer? We hesitate to
say so. These men-ice and coal
are men of principle and climate can
not affect them.
But winter is nearing us and we
need the good wishes-don't let is say
the good will-of the eminent man
who handles the goods which create
heat. What are we going to do about
it? If all the heat of summer could
be stored is the sultry season for use
in wintry weather. and all the roy cold
of the late months be kept in cold
storage for employment in Aueust-
why how happy we should be!-Phila-
