Among thaw praient was gentkman wo is not in sdt sense a prolic nun nor a seeker of newspaper notoriety. He is a very rich man, how ever, and this fact evidently filled the observant Jeames' bnunm with awe and reverence. "The yonng man. says Jeamrn with Lated breath, "whose wealth is com puted at over fifty millions, stood an attentive, devout and sad participant in the obsequies." bis "pale face, fringed J oat beneath tbe ears with tofts of black whiskers, wore a melancholy expression. He was attired in a neat fitting suit of black, black gloves and tie. Be stood when the congregation rose, knelt when it knelt and sat when it sat Through out the long service he remained with set, saddened face, and moat of the time with bowed head. Never once did he glance around to see who was there and not once did he exchange words with his pew companion." Jeames was overcome. A gentleman behaved like a gentleman, and yet, strange to say, he is compote) to be worth fifty millions of dollars! Evi dently the awe stricken Jeames sup poses that a man so rich might be nat urally expected to wear a red coat and yellow breeches at a funeral, to rise when the congregation sat down, to sit down when it rose and to dance a jig when it knelt That a rich man should condescend to be a gentleman evidently amazes Jeames, and with trembling fin gers he records the wondrous fact which is then placed within the posses sion of every friend of humanity for tbe insignificant sum of two cents. These are the things that inspire respect and admiration for a free and independent press. Harper's Weekly. Taet In an Abandoned Mine. An old gold mine near Georgetown. Cel., long since deserted by its ownors, Is still vi;u-d by miners who take out an occasional grub stake. Henry fraeer, an old Georgetown miner, went into the mine ten days ago to work a claim about a mile under ground. Me lost his candle and matches, and was unable to find his way among the hundreds of passages. For ten dap he was without food, water or light, and suffered untold agonies. His friends grew anxious at his long absence and started out in search of hira. They immediately re paired to tbe mine and fonnd him more dead th in alive, about a mile from the month of the tunnel. The mine is under an old river chan nel, and varies from 25 to 100 feet in width. This bun been all worked out, leaving an irregnlar chamber from 10 to 14 feet in height, filled with rocks and gravel. To reach this channel Praser bad to pass through a tnnnel 700 feet in length. It was only after tiresome search that his friends found him. Cor, Chicago Inter-Ocean. Olven a noyal Sendulf. At a recent wedding the contract ing parties were marked out by gov crul of their intimate friends as the objects of a joke which was pro longed to a most embarrassing de gree. After the trunks had been packed they were taken charge of by the frolicsome young people who carefully lifted out the garments, strewing rice in the folds of each. Naturally anxious to avoid a public demonstration, the newly married couple requested that none of the wedding party should attend them to the station. The request was granted, but instead of attending in person the merciless ushers sent down by Bie-senger a huge basket of tha most wonderfully fashioneopaper flowers, tied to tho handle of which was a big cardboard bearing the inscription, Tor tne uriue. -tiateltlelds Watt f 'tgton. A Qonl Somewhere Ahead. We are born in this world, and yet we are somewhat strangers to it. We have to take ourselves as we are, and yet we know that we are not what we were meant to be. Ideas of which the sun and moon and stars and the wide earth know nothing seize hold of as, and we have in our heart of hearts such affinity with them that 'tis as if in somodeep sense we were born of them, as, indeed, in our inmost being we move toward them. And sx I say we are pilgrims; every one who enters on the moral life is a pilgrim; his eyes are set for ahead it is not another land he seeks, another earthly home, but an attainment of the spirit, a rest for the affections, a company of souls wherein a perfect love doth reign. We struggle on, we fight our lone ly battles, we try to meet each day's tasks and duties, we catch but glimpses of the perfect goal to which our being tends, and yet, if one man's confidence can be of any use to an other, let me say that I believe that a goal there is, that the moral require ment shall have some day its fulfill ment, that we dream of and the heart sighs for will at last come true. We are not pilgrims traveling nowhere. We have a country, though jt is not yet-W. L. Baiter in Light Straggling With Duty. It is always a conflict, this wres tling with duty. A young dress maker, a member of the Salvation Army, received a letter from a would be customer asking among other things whether the material she was planning to bring plush would be suitable and look well to use in the big sleeves in vogue. Now, the fame of the customer as a parlor elocutionist had preceded her, but was misunderstood by the dress maker as associating its object with the stage, which her duty taught her to abhor. Bo she sat down and conscientious ly replied to the letter that she could notsewonagarment which was to be worn by a person so contaminated and urged her to forsake her ungodly work and turn her talents to some better advantage. The letter ran on thus for three pages and as sternly closed. But duty having been placated the natural kindliness of human nature popped up in a little postscript. "I think toe plush quite too heavy for the use you suggest. It would be better to make the sleeves of silk." New York Times. Electricity for Deafness. The extent to which electricity is be ing tued in legitimate medical practice is rapidly on the increase, and many of tbe new devices for applying it have dis tinct merit A recently invented appa ratus for the cure of deafness comprises a battery, a belt, an electrode snpiKirter on the belt, and shaped to rust on the car. and connectinus between the electrode and the buttery. This provides a con venient and efficient mode of receiving the current, which can be npplied in finely graduated strength. Exchange. Mining 300 Tuna of Halt Dully.

A stout gentleman, well on to 00 years, was in the throng of Saturday afternoon visitors at tho Produce Ex chango baths yesterday oftornoon. Ho told overybody that he'd had a hard week. He said ho was a bank president All the attendants Roomed to know him. He knew all the at tendants too. They wore Tom and Jim and Poto to him. He wanted overybody to under stand that he'd had a hard week. Every nowcomer was corralled an impressed with the fact Then he said he wanted some one to take his hand and wade through the pool with him. The pool is SO feet long and 15 feot wido, with five feet of saltwater. He wanted to wade in, new summer suit and all. It would rest him and make him forget his hard week, he said, if somobody would take his hand and wade in with him. "It'll mako me fool like a boy again," said the alleged bank presi dent "We used to wade in clothes and all when I was a boy," lie added when his appeal was not heeded. While he was waiting for soruo oue to take his hand and wade, in walked a young man also in a new summer suit The young man wore silver bowed spectacles. He is a graduate of Tale. He.peered over his specta eles at the old fellow, who returned the peer and then mode his appeal to the young man. "Well, old man," said he of the silver bowed spectacles, "I was out pretty late myself last night I'll go you." Solemnly the old maa and the younger man clasped bands and walked to the edge of the pool. They zigzagged a little, but they stood upon the brink of the pool steady enough, and banging their hats down upon their heads, they stepped off. The water was nearly up to their shoul ders. But hand in hand they waded the length of the pool, the bank pres ident smiling and contented and the younger man peering over his silver bowed spectacles as if in a contempla tive mood. Not a word did they say to each other. The old man's face wore the expansive smile of childish delight The younger man was sol emnly content They clambered out of the pool hand in hand, soaked from shoulders to heels. The old man shook the hand of his younger com rade and said: "I thank you, sir. Ton have af forded me much pleasure." "All right, old man," said the Yale graduate. "Any time you want to wade send for me." He gave the old man his cord, and as the old man jabbed the limp paste board into the puddle in his waist coat pocket he remembered his watch. He pulled out a massive gold timepiece. The salt water had stopped It and probably ruined it As he come to this conclusion the old man said: "Woll, never mind, we had fun, didn't wer Then the two men were tacked off to the steamroom and stripped, and for two hours they nodded sleepily at each other while their clothes and shoes were drying. New York Sun. Interesting- Heenea In Tangier. Tangier's beauty lies in so many different thinm in the monklike 1 garb of the men and in tho white muffled figures of the women; in the brilliancy of its sky and of the sea I dashing upon the rocks and tossing I the feluccas with their three cor nered sails from side to side, and in the green towers of tbe mosques and the listless leaves of the royal palms rising from the center of a mass of white roofs, and above all in the col or and movement in the bazaars and streets. The streets represent ab solute equality. They are at the widest but 1) yards across, and every one pushes, and apparently every one bos something to sell, or at least something to say, for they all talk and shout at once and cry at their donkeys or abuse whoever touches them. A water carrier, with bis goatskin bag on bis back and his flu ger on the tube through which the water comes, jostles you on oue aide, and a slave as black and shiny uhu patent leather boot shoves you uu the other as he mnken way for bis master ou a fine white Arabiau horse with brilliant trappings and a huge contempt for the donkeys in bis . way. -Richard H.

If thirteen young men lawyers and physicians who have jnat -organised " Thirteen club in this city, can find a huunted house to meet In they will be most happy. The organization is nearly couiplote, the bylaws and rule have been drawn up and adopted, and the only thing lacking is the haunted house. If this cannot be found it is proposed to one the dead house owned by the town. Among the rales are almost everything siiporstitiouB people avoid. The presi dent is to sit under an open umbrella during all meetings and at the quarterly dinners. .A ladder will be raised in the loom, and every memher entering will pass under it. A crosseyed janitor will be secured, and one of the members whose hair is fiery red will be obliged to enter the meeting room first every time it is opened. A skeleton will be seated opposite the president at every feast, and two black cats will be purchased and kept in the elubroom. Each member takes a euiemn obligation to look at the new moon over his left shoulder, pass on each side of a post when two are walking together, walk between any couples who may be seen talking together on the street, and do everything contrary to the accepted custom. The meetings will be held on Friday evenings, and if any member has to make a journey he will start on Fri day or the I Hth of the month. New Haven Cor. New York bun Curious Tmnb nf n Kenluoklaa. Several weeks ago Mr. .lames Golden, a well known lumber dealer of Hick man, Ky died there and was buried with a strict conformity with the pro visions of a remarkable will. He had while in health a strong fear of being buried alive, fostered prolsibiy by read ing accounts nf the few cases of this kind that are known to have occurred, and he determined to take no chances in that line that could pomibly be avoided. He caused a tomb to be erected, and in that tomb had an open..ig left on the east aide large enough for a man to pass through. This was covered with glass In his will he stipulated that a strong hammer should be placed in the casket with him, and that the lid of the coffin should not be screwed down, so that If by chance he should be consigned to the tomb before his life was extinct he might, if he gained power to move, push off the lid and with the hammer break out the glass in the oiiening left for tbe purpose and thus escuie a lingering, horrible death. His instructions were faithfully obeyed. Friends took It upon themselves to watch the tomb and be near in case tho gentleman's fears should prove well founded and render him as sistance. But death came with aa un erring shot, and he still slumbers peace fully in his oaaket - Husbands of Famous Woman.
