A Fresh Definition.

Old Squire Prince, of Franklin County, Tennessee, was the “lamed” man of the community. Many an illiterate one came to have him write and read their letters. On one occasion a man asked him to decipher an epistle he had received from Texas. In ft occurred the word "emigrant.” “What is an imigrant?” asked the dumfounded tanbark hauler. “Wall,” stuttered the Squire, scratching his white hair with his spectacles for inspiration. imigrant is a, is an anlmile, suthin twixt a possum and a coon, an powerful hard on corn.” Out of 100 men you run against, you' will find ninety-five worrying themselves into low spirits and indigestion about troubles that will never come.

THE TUipi OF LIFE. THE MOST CRITICAL PERIOD IN THE LIFE OF A WOMAN. Experience of Mrs. Kelly, of FUehopie, . There is no period in woman’s earthly career which she approaches with so much anxiety as the “change of life.'.' Yet during*'• tfier past twenty years women have learned much from IjTvA 'A a woman. jj It is safe to say JV J that women who themselves much easier than in the course to J nervous com- J A for the change. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound should be used. It is well for those approaching this time, to write Mrs. Pinlcham, at Lynn, Mass. She has the experience of years to aid her in advising. She will charge you nothing. J...... J She helped this woman, who says:—'1, have used: Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in my family ten " years, With the best results. Some time ago my daughter had catarrh of the womb, and it entirely cured her. I was approaching the “change of life,” and was in a deplorable condition. My womb had fallen, and the bearing-down pains and backache were terrible, and kidneys affected „ “I began taking the Compound, and my pains ceased. I consider it the strong bridge between sickness and health, and recommend it to everybody I meet who nsed3 it.” Mbs. L. Kelly, Patchogue, L. I. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not duo to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which thy pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly bv all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, thatydu have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should hhve tlie best , and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

The many imitatipns of HIRES Rootbeer simply point to its excellence —the genuine article proves it. Mk4t wily by Tb« Charles B. Htrw Ce., Philadelphia. A IAo. paokac* naakaa 3 gallons. Bald stsrywhsr*

FAITHFUL TO DEATH.

Why a Dob’s Statue Stands in | Brooklyn Cemetery. All who have entered the main gate of Cypress Hills Cemetery, at Brooklyn, during the last few weeks have had their attention arrested by the lifesize statue of a dog standing a few paces in front of a massive and handsome vault. Inquiries revealed a pathetic story thus perpetuated. The vault, whieh is of granite, perhaps 10 by 15 feet and 12 feet high, has just been erected by thq a widow of J. George Burckle. Mr. Burcklb died Just two years ago at the age of 05; .He had been a fanchman in the Dakotas, removing to Brooklyn several years ago. He, tv’s wife and daughter were a devoted {am-

HOW A DOG'S DEVOTION IS HONORED.

ily, but there was as much affection lavished on a pet collie dog he brought from his ranch as upon any jnember of the family.. As ter Ua BnrcHle’s demise the animal was* inconsolable and wandered about vainly searching for th« old famaHar hand that caressed him daily. He found his way to his master’s grave and was often discovered lying near it. Finally. the poor creature died, heart broken at Mr. Burckle’s decease. This devotion that even death could not daumt nor diminish so touched the family that it’was”lecrdecTto reproduce the dog in statuary. SO there the faithful collie stands in- life-like attitude Steadily gazing at the last resting place of all that was mortal of his master.

After a man is old enough to have whiskers he should not be seen on the streets carrying a pair of skates. A woman never thinks a man is making a time confession until he tells her something it breaks her heart to hear. No difference how rich a man is,or how prominent, a woman can throw; hind by accusing him of trying to kiss her. TJie first iron bridges were erected from about 1777 to 1790. The same general principles apply to the construction of iron as, of stone bridges, but the, greater cohesion and adaptability of the material give more liberty to the architect and much greater width of span is possible. A flying machine that will liy is said to have been exhibited recently by a man named Lamson in Portland, Me. The machine has wings like a bird and is said to be about as difficult to operate as a bicycle. The inventor moved about-with considerable facility at a distance of twenty feet from the ground.

Baby Ruth was foaled iu Houston, Texas, is 3 years old, nineteen inches high, and can stand on an ordinary dinner plate. She is remarkably pretty, and }ter owner, Col. J. H.

By a peculiar jerk of the tail the animal can retire from a dangerous object with almost incredible swiftness. The tail 1s much more effective in moving the animal backward than forward, a singular instance of adaptation to its situation, for by means of its tail it can withdrafv into its hole with such swiftness as in an instant to place Jt out of danger. Arizona women are out after political privileges equaLto enjoyed by the men, and recently a woman suffrage association was organized in Phoenix. For some years a few representatives of advanced womanhood have championed the cause in Arizona, and each successive Territorial Legislature has been asked to pass an equal suffrage bill. Once or twice the bill has passed one branch and has been treated as a joke in the other. But Statehood is almost in sight now, and the women are stirr{ng~themselves to greater efforts looking toward enfranchisement. The Governor of the Territory has expressed himself as strongly in favor of woman suffrage.

AN ENGINE OF DEATH

MANY KILLED BY A CINCINNATI GAS GENERATOR. Awful Catastrophe Occurs When Building and Streets Were Crowded —Certain that Many Are Dead and More Mangled—Panic in the City. Tale of the Horror. At 7:45 Monday evening a teirific explosion occurred in Louis Fey’s saloon ut Cincinnati, immediately opposite the Gibson house." The building, a five-story brick, was shattered to splinters. Fey manufactured his own gas with a machine from gasoline,. A large tank filled with tlie explosive fluid was in the room in. the rear of the saloon. In addition a? barrel of gasoline was being unloaded at the time. An electric motor furnished the power. The motor was operated at too high a rate of speed, causing the commutator to burn out. This ignited the gasoline, causing the explosion. It is almost certain that at least twenty persons were- killed. A fair- estimate places the number caught iu the falling building at -Tram-sixty in seventy-five. .At least twen-ty-five people, and perhaps more, the exact number may never,,be known, were mangled, crushed, burned and scalded to death. Bodie's of Adolph Drach’s family of four, and four unknown, were quickly recovered. Three of the Fey family, two servant girls, and three men employes were missing. Twenty-five injured were removed to the hospital, two of whom will die. The explosion shook large buildings' for squares. Hundreds of windows in the Gibson House were broken and plate glass windows on both sides of Walßut street the entire length of the square -w-ere shattered. Scores of pedestrians were knocked from their feet and there were dozens of runaway tennis in the vicinity. Several electric cars wore ’thrown from the track and at least twenty female passengers on different cars fainted away and were carried into'the Gibson House and adjoining places. The electric light, telegraph, telephone and trolley wires on the square were torn down and the explosion "was followed immediately by darkness. Whole Building Destroyed. Flash lights were rigged, up across the street and the rays thrown onto the ruins, Tlie explosiorf tore the entire structure front between adjoining buildings ,on either side ns neatly as. it could hi?ve been accomplished by Workmen; All that is now left is a mass of brick, mortar and torn lumber, over which tli'e rbof rests in a slanting position. It was occupied b.y Fey’s and Droeb's saloons, both of the better class. It is estimated that forty or fifty people were inside at the time, of the explosion, and 4 it seems impossible that atiy could have escaped.-- ——— The firemen beat a path into, the adibining barber shop and began drilling holes Trough the thick brick wall in the hope of reaching some of the bodies. The heavy roof lying over the ruins made it impossible for tlie firemen to make any headway (from the top or sides. The tipper floors of the five-story building were occupied as flats. It is not known how many people were inf the flats or how many were in the saloons, but none escaped. as the building immediately collapsed. There was no fire to consume the ruin.: and make certain death of all in tlie building, but the dust and dirt continued flying for n long time so densely that the work of rescuing the victims proceeded with great difficulty.

Hia Whole Family done. One of the barkeepers, \vho was not on duty at the time and escaped, lived in one of the upper flats, and was wild with grief because he knew that his wife and four children were in the ruins. One oi his children was recovered dead soon after the explosion. As the night passed the scenes about the wrecked buildings became more distressing than ever. Women whose husband s'and SbTVS'hard' not reached home by TO or 11 o’clock =ea me down to the Fountain ‘square and filled up the space about the government building, where they were weeping nud crying about their friends -being in the wreckage. Departments at Work. All of the departments of the city were at work at the ruins. The police commissioners were in charge of their department, together with Chief Deitseh, and the fire commissioners were with Chief Archibald. The street cleaning department was out in full force, at work removing the debris and hauling it away, and good engineers were soon on hand superintending the handling of the heavy timbers. Crowded with People. The explosion occurred at a time in the evening when there were many people in the bar, ana if was said soon after the explosion that a number of women and their osT-orts had just entered. They were probably in the wine rooms in the rear of the bar. The street was well filled with pedestrians and it is almost certain that many of them were fatally injured. Standing almost in front of the building when the explosion occurred was a Newport and Covington car. It was, completely wrecked auu the half-dozen passengers and, the motorman and conductor were more or less severely injured.

Panic in the Gibson House. There were several hundred guests in the Gibson House and they all became panic-stricken. Men and womeif rushed from their rooms, the latter shrieking with terror and several of them fainting. The guests of the house who were in the lobby, barber shop and waiting-room were mocked down by the shock. It seemed to them as though the explosion was in the hotel building apd, not knowing at what moment it would be followed by another, they rushed from the hotel, adding to the panic in the street. Wreck at Liberty, Neb. At 3 o’clock Monday morning train 63, fast freight on the Burlington, going west, ran into a washout, near Liberty, Neb. The engine and three cars wero wrecked. Two trainmen were killed and several injured. Engineer Brennan was crushed between the engine and te.uder. Conductor Wilcox, who was in the engine cab at the time of the wreck, was badly mangled, one leg being torn from his body and the other badly crushed. He expired in a few minutes after beiug extricated from the wreck. The fireman was thrown from the cab window and escaped uninjured, with the exception of slight bruises, as at the time of the wreck the train was running very slowly, having orders to do so on account of the heavy rftlaMk .Engineer Bream'an’s home was at SeottsvlUe, Pa. The bridge was a short one and one that had recently been filled—that is, earth had been dumped in And the open space beneath the bridge filled up. It is supposed that the recent rains wnshed out a part or all of tills filling and that when the earth gave way a portion of the bridge went with it.

The plat form embodying the instructions was adopted by a viva voce vote and without division, the chairman’s decision that the motion to adopt had carried being received without a challenge. Gen. Harrison did not make his eagerly expected speech to the delegates and did not visit the convention at all. The platform declares for “sound money,” favors the use of both gold and silver at a parity, urges bimetallism on an> international basis, and condemns the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to l. r It was 10:15 O’CloCkmTie'n tbeStafe chairman, J.

JR. Lucas of Indianapolis, the report of the Committee ~bimulei~anff Permanent Organization was read. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Richard W. Thompson was reported for permanent chairman, with a rousing cheer, and G. R. Stormont was named, for secretary. The report was unanimously adopted. When white-haired “Uncle Dick” Thompson assumed the gavel he was greeted with a rousing reception. Despite his 88 years, the ex-Secretary delivered' a stirring speech, which, disposed of the Democratic party to the entire satisfaction of the crowd, and vigorously predicted a, sweeping victory for Republican principles in the coming election. At the conclusion of Col. Thompson’s speech there were loud cries of “Harrison,” but the ex-President did not appear, and the report of the Committee on Credentials was submitted and , accepted without contest. Then came the reading of the platform ana resolutions.

MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.

Indorse McKinley for President—Animated Fight Over Money. An animated fight over the money question was the most striking feature of the Michigan Republican convention „at Detroit. It resulted iu squelching both the gold plank offered by the majority and the silver plank submitted by the minority of the resolutions committee, and the substitution tnerefor of the money plank of the Minneapolis platform of 1892. McKinley was.indorsetl most unequivocally and the delegate; were strongly instructed in his favor. Four delegates-at-large were elected, two of them without contests. The financial plauk was as follows: We are unyielding and uncompromising in our demands for sound and honest money. We are in favor of the use of gold and sliver and paper dollars in our currency, all to be maintained at n parity as to their purchasing and debt-paying power. We are opposed to provision that will invite-depreolatlon of any portion of our currency, and, therefor®, we are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone trader present conditions, and we believe that such a course would destroy the parity of and contract the currency.

It will also be possible to get a glimpse of the midnight sun, which is seen at the North Cape above the horizon at midnight, and a few days later a morning midnight. The expedition will be accompanied by many astronomers and students of astronomy.

Gypsy Superstitions.

If a gypsy meets a woman upon entering a town, he looks upon it as a piece of good lack and a sign that he will collect plenty of alms. If, on the contrary, hg encounters a man, he will get nothing, and will probably meet with misfortune besides. No gypsy girl wouhl listen to a nightingale singing when in company with her lover; if she did, It would denote a separation. To see a wolf both at the same time is the greatest luck that can befall- a gypsy pair. > Birds seem, as a rule, to bring misfortune, If a cock crows when a marriage procession fs passing, it denotes that the couple will always be qiiarrellng. If geese or ducks fly across the path, the husband will be ground under the heel of his wife and hpr female relatives. A flock of sparrows is a sign that the love of the bride and the, bridegroom will soon vanish. Ravens or crows at a wedding denote aproaeliing poverty. If the birds fly to the right, the wife will soon tire of the union! if to the left, the husband will tire of the wife. A flock of sheep brings luck; a herd of goats, misfortune. A dog, a donkey, a cow are all signs of good fortune. Doves or swallows crossing the path of a young pair are a sign of great riches. If a gypsy girl wishes to know how soon she will marry, she whispers in the ear of the first donkey she meets, “Shall I soon have a husband?” If “the donkey moves its ears, ( the girl knows that she will marry almost immediately. If, on the contrary, the animal shakes its head, it will be some time before she gets a husband. Treasure-trove means in law-money or other treasure found hidden and the owner unknown, in which case it belongs to the crown. Trove is from the French word trouver, to find.
