We Are Behind Hungary. Notwithstanding the fact that the telephone was invented in this country, we are still behind the old world in some of its appliances. In a little village of Hungary, for example, there was a concer' held lately in which the audience listened by means of telephones distributed around the room to songs by celebrated artists in three theaters of Buda-Pest, located miles away. Finally the young people danced for hours to music played in the same distant place. “Torpedo scissors,” a new form of torpedo net cutter invented by a Danish officer, have proved successful, it is said, in recent tests. They are fixed to the head of the torpedo and fall apart In striking the net. cutting it so as to let the torpedo pass through and strike the ship. “Female Sufferers, “ Hear me! “ 1 was discouraged, brokenhearted.

STARVING IN OHIO. THE DISTRESS AND SUFFERING AMONG IDLE MINERS. Sorrow and Want Stalk Through the Hocking Valley—An Appeal for Aid Which Has Not Been In Vain —Relief Su ppi ics Pouring I n. Need Food and Clothes. In the Hocking and Sunday Creek valleys of the Ohio, where prosperity and happiness once held sway, backed by healthy industry and good fellowship, at least 10,000 miners and their families are now destitute and dependent entirely'upon charity, and their condition is so serious that starvation must come to some ere relief can reach them. Hunger and sorrow and .suffering have taken the places of wealth, happiness and health. The miners’ troubles began about n year ago. There was some difficulty with the mine operators regarding wages and the workmen struck. The strike continued lor weeks and months, until all the savings of the miners and the unions were exhausted. During the last part of May the difficulty was settled and the miners returned to work, the operators agreeing to pay 60 cents a ton to miners in Ohio and 65 cents in Pennsylvania. Presently the operators of Pennsylvania violated this part of the agreement and refused to pay more than 55 cents a ton. This gave them a chance to underbid the Ohio operators and work began to be slack in Ohio. '1 liin^s went from bnd to worse in the Hocking and Sunday ( 'wk valleys. The miners had been in the custom of receiving their pay in the form of “scrip” good for purchases at the company's stores.

»" ——— — o ■ MINING SCENE IN THE HOCKING VALLEY.

When work began to slacken the stores carried the men on their books for a lime, hoping for better times. But finally this was no longer possible and the miners were refused credit. The miners of this part of Ohio are noted for their proud spirit. Their earnings had always been good, thus keeping them above every want, and their spirits hail never been crushed by reverses. So when they found themselves in so serious a plight they were too proud to ask aid, until finally they were practically on the verge of starvation. So far people outside of the immediately affected district had no idea how bad was the condition of the miners. -- MIXEKs' sHAMIIN, The first inkling they had was .lan. S, when a delegation from the Hocking Vai ley Truth s Assembly called on Gov. M< - Kinley ami stated to him the facts of tin case, ami asked for aid. A Generous Response. Gov. McKinley immediately ordered a earload of provisions sent to Nelsonvillc. the Columbus Board of Trade assuming the expense. Carload after carb uni of | supplies has since been sent to the sufferers in response to urgent requests, tin til to-day the number of loads is nearly a score. The present indications are that it will be necessary to semi several carloads of provisions into the valley every week for not less than three months, and possibly longer, it was the first intention of Gov. McKinley to issue a general appeal to the people of the State for contributions. He decided, however, not to do so at once, but to call on the various cities in turn as long as possible, and then to issue a general appeal if it should become necessary. I His idea in this method of procedure was to preclude the possibility of there being । i a great Hood of contributions sent into | j the valleys, which might encourage waste | । ami exhaust the supply before the time of need had passed. I The capital city, as before stated, was the first to respond. Then Cincinnati was called upon by the Governor, and the Chamber of Commerce of that city sent, seven carloads to the sufferers.

Since then there were generous contributions from many other ''points, and the situation is now much brighter, although there is not yet any permanent improvement, inasmuch as

there can be no final solaiiok of the distressing problem until there is a general revival of the mining industry of the valleys. There is now no promise of this. i There is not the slightest opportunity for fraud or imposition in the (list Coition of. the supplies.

The utmost care is exerted to prevent any person from drawing supplies from the commissaries who is not worthy of charity. BATTLE WITH BANK ROBBERS. Council Bluffs Officers Have a Fight with a Gang of Desperadoes. For a short time Monday evening the business streets of Council Bluffs were transformed into a battlefield, and timid people bent a rapid retreat in their efforts to seek places of safety. The fusillade was caused by tin attempt of Deputy O'Brien ami three other officers to arrest three men suspected of robbing the bunk at Griswold, lowa. O'Brien and one of tin* alleged robbers were seriously and perhaps fatally wounded, while a motorman was struck by a glancing ball. Two of the three men were captured, though the third made good his escape. During the afternoon the Council Bluffs officers were notified of the robbery of the National Bank at Griswold, lowa, and as a result the men were on the lookout for the suspects, .lust after dusk as one of the officers was patrolling his beat he noticed a man sitting in the office of the Kiel Hotel who answered tli<- <le»er>p< ion teloKrnplinl from Griwwold. Deputy Sheriff O'Brien was notified, and after taking a look at the man ho concluded that be was one of the individuals who were wanted, hut not feeling like attacking a bank rob-

ber singh handed and alone, he called tn his assistance Deputy Sheriff Hooker. i ami in company with Officers Peterson | I Ware the party entered the hotel office I and invited the suspected man to take a | । walk. As tile five men left the hotel two otll ers, who had been sitting near, arose and followed, keeping several yards behind ; The suspect was conducted toward tin | county jail and just as they reached tin steps of the court house Deputy O'Brien dropped behind, telling his priwn^T t< walk in 1 lollt.

Proverbs for Advertisers. A good advertisement is like the merchant's ships—it liringeth abundance from afar. He that payeth for advertisements with goods is a fool, for he raiseth up competition in his own market. Every wise man advertiseth, but a fool speculateth on the Stock Exchange. He that trusteth in a large circulation shall be wealthy, but he that believeth in cheap rates shall be busted. The smallest circulation hath oft the loudest tongue. A big advertiser leaveth an inheritance to his children's children’s children. A small advertisement is better than a bad traveler.
