The tnot horrible disaster that Ins ever oecurnd in the west happened at I o. o. K. -Meets noon tnday in l-jitli & Perry No. G mine, tind as a r suit a large nuniber of men are entombed and thousands of dol lars' v.oilh ol property destroyed. Just at the dinner hour, when tin nun were ascending eiyht .t a time on tho caf, u t r:ib!e is explosion occurred, ti!lin; every entry wit'i (1 imes of lire which fchot out of lint shaft. It cannot be ascertain ed toniyht just how many men arc yet in t ic mine, but at 1 o'clock one man had been taken out dead. The work of re moving; the debris and cUanin the shaft has been goin o:i all the afternoon, but it will be scveiul hours before much can be done toward entering the mine proper. A reporter called at the residence of the Kitp Tiutcndeut at 11 o'clock, found him proppi-d up in a chair with his face and hands banda-el aud scarcely able to talk, but he made the following state ment: "At just seven minutes after noou, I was telephoned that an explosion lmel ccurred at No. G. I went out as soon as possible and found the south cnge, on which the men always ascend, stuck in the shaft. 1 went down in a tub lowered with ropes aud found all badly burned antl in frenzy. In fact they were crazy, some shouting and others ninjiini;. "We ilnally managed to be hoisted by means of ropes and pulleys, in a fainting condi tion, and it was then ascertained that the north cage could be worked. I then called for volunteers to go down with me to sec if any of the poor fellows at the bottom could be got out. Kobeit Urick, George Henry, Charles Small wood and Nat Dulehand rerponded. "When we retched the bottom I looked through into the ir.try and saw a light, and I asked who was there and a voice respouded, "Gray," and I told him to put out his light. I then asked hi in to crawl to me, but he was so ex hausted he could not do so, and I rcack t d through the small aperture and dragged him on to the cage. Just as this was elons the wliul rushed with the velocity of a cyclone up the entry, putting out all our lights but one. This was followed by two loud reports, and a seething flame of tire, which came with a dtafuing roar, completely enveloping us and shee ting out the mouth of the shaft 210 feet above our heads. We were all horribly burned, and thought our time had come. The litmus decreaseel ns suddenly as they came, and Ave h.ul to al-ond the attempt to s iv;1 otlr: rs. I y lb tl to the mt n on top to hoist a way and after what seemed lu urs v.c weio started up and taken out in safety, though badly burned and great ly ' h uistcd. Probably all who v er in the mine at t'i? time of the lirt explosion are dt ad. Abjut eighty-live miners art employed in this mine. They are mostly negroes, ind came from Spt infield, 111., when the mine p!cned less than one year ago. NOTARY IX OKFICn. Tltlen Exainlaerf.

See page 4. fQ:T AA omen Ilarbera for Women. On one of the women's streets of this town, where the petticoats aro so thick that a man is almost ns much out of place as he would be at a ladies' luncheon, there is a woman's barber shop. It has not a striped pole in front of it. It is too .esthetic for that, and the Avomen lind it in Hocks without 6iteh vulgar aids. It is a woman's place in the fullest sense of the word, run by women and for Avomen. It is the outcome of the usual long felt want. Of course, there Avero always places where women could get their hair elressed, but when the universal Viang demanded constant attention these great artists Avere apt to act as if such ministrations were beneath their , attention. Then they charged enormously. The places where they trim bangs cheap AA-ere dubiously masculine; eA'en if they set apart a place for women there were glimpses continu ally cf dreadful, collarless, lathered male beings, and to the inexperienced feminine mind nothing seems so indecent as a man being shaved. Still another question of decency came in. The fine ladies whohave had their hair dressed ever since they Avere 12 years old, and who patronize men dressmakers and milliners, of course, have no sort of ob jection to men barbers, but lots of. young women in n less exalted sphere find it quite dreadful to have a man fussing half an hour over their heads. "You know," said one not over lucidly, "with the dentist you don't mind, because he hurts you so dreadfully all the time, but with a barber it is different. " New York Graphic. An Astonished Englishman. A newly arrived Englishman was told that the editor of The North American Keview wotild, that night, deliver a learned lecture, and that if he desired to become informed upon live issues iu America he should attend. He did so, and tho next day he wrote as follows to a London newspaper; "The Americans are surely a A-ery pe culiar people. Last night I Avent to hear a Avell known gentleman lecture on what these people term live issues, and I must say that 1 never heard a more ridiculous discourse. The people laughed In his very face, but he did not appear to mind it. He talked about absurd things, and spoke of shoA ing his fist into the bosom of the night, and Avent on at some length to tell of' a dog that had fleas. I did not want to be rude, but I really laughed. I actu ally expected to see the people mob the fellow, he was so very, very queer." He had been "steered" against Bill Nye. Arkansaw Traveler. The Cheery Wet "Weather Daisy. Athletics are not left to men. Women and girls go in for them, at least in their own mild way, and they are as enthusiastic as the most successful college oarsmen. What do they do? Well they rido and they fence, and do tho trapeze act in bloomers and short jackets; tbey Avalk, and they go in for dumb bells and Indian clubs, and indulge in a va riety of other feats that give muscle and ubundant breath. No weather has teiTcrs for them any more, and if you wish to see a procession of Philadelphia beauties, bigger and brighter than you will ever behold it at any other time, you must take a walk la the fashionable quarter on a wet day. There you will see them, ones, twos and threes, in groups and detachments, swing ing merrily along in their rubber coats and dainty galoshes, their cheeks aglow, their pyes shining, and their breath kissing the moist air. They are all bound well, no where in particular. But they must be out ia tho w-ct. It is tho new caprice. It indi C3.tes that they aro up to the days; days in which the Philadelphia girl, who knows what is the latest, insists on being healthy, on daring the perils of all weather,' on ignoring horse cars, and saving the pennies which erstwhile went to make the "horse car" fam ilies of the Quaker city so rich and powerf uL A.id she is mors than ever a lovely creature; h bright and cheery wet weather daisy.

I A BRIEF CHAT ON THE l-THICS OF STREET TRAVEL. flow to Avoid Hunger und Incoiiienieiico In Ciettlnc About the Metropoli The Clown and the Ignoramus Crossing the Street Hitch ways. "It always does me good to do that," said a friend to a reporter, as ho trod heavily on the heel of a man who had rudely crowded pa.st and placed himself squarely iu front of Use two pedestrians. The offender turned around In a fury, but becoming conscious either of the unequal match or of Lis being in the wrong, ho transferred tho "insult" from his heel to his pocket and walked off. "These big fellows seem to think that they own the town," continued tho triumphant social reformer. "They elbow their way without regard for others. If they are be hind you in a dense crowd they press you closely, and they never seem to like it when you turn your side to Ihorrv tv Vr on your hip aud g;vo ti(..a iuu pu.Lic oi y our elbow to impale themselves on. In a street car they will back up to a six inch interval between two passengers and settle into it, leav ing their neighbors to choose between stand ing tho crush or making room to tho riht and left. The fact is, there is a great deal of ignorance as to how to get alout in a big sity lite Now York, with convenience to one's self and deference to the rights of others. Clowns like this fellow do not mean to annoy any one only to make their own way. But there is widespread ignorance as to what is polite and proper, what tactful good 6cnse requires, what is safe or danger ous, in using the crowded streets and public places, and it ought to be a purtof a common school education to give a littlo instruction and lay down a few general principles that ought to be, but are not, universally accepted. DEFERENCE TO LADIES. "Men have rather confused ideas as to what deference they should pay to ladies in public places. It is well understood that in the elevator of a hotel a man should conduct himself as he would in any other room the parlor, for instance of the hotel, and should rise and stand uncovered "when a lady enters the elevator. But in the elevator of a down town building tho conditions are changed. That is a public conveyance not an apart ment, and in it a man may do exactly as he would in a street car. Tho rights and privi leges of pedestrians are very well defined, if people only knew it. That lubber whoso heel 1 just scrunched had a perfect right to pass me, but be was bound to keep ahoad. I can't stop walking just because he chooses to get in front of mo. I used to do so, as most peop'o do; one instinctively draws up rather than step on another; but I have conscientiously trained myself out of that habit, aud now I rather 'step out' than step short. "Very few people know how to look out for themselves about the city, and most of them plunge into inconvenience and even danger which a little headwork would aA-oid. Ninety-nine men in 100 will hurry forward to eatch a swinging door before it closes be hind some one who has just passed through, and run the risk of a broken wrist in receiv ing its full weight. They don't seem to think that if they let it swing freely toward them it will immediately swing back again, when they may pass through almost w ithout touch ing their bands tQ it. But tho beat way is to disregard entirely the door that another has just passed through uso tho other, and let tho first one swing off it3 hinges if it will. CKOSSIXO THE STREET. "A New York American has 110 need to bo in a hurry in order to take tremendous risks uLcrosAiBg,tho street. He never will learn taat thero is more room behind a moving ve hicle than in front of it, and dashes over ap parently for the mere satisfaction of accom plishing a feat. The New York drivers are not quite so reckless as the Paris cabbies, who aro said to run a man down Avhenever they can, but even in New York a pedestrian has few rights a driver feels bound to re spect, and the best way to deal with the cass is to give the truckman the right of way. Occasionally an imperious old gentleman ad vances boldly into midstreet and holds up his cane to stop the approaching express wagon. It may work and it may not ; but to bo sure of it one needs to be a police man armed with tho rattan of omcial authority, How many-men have narrowly escaped braining by bales and boxes dropped from a hatchway hoist. And how many. even or those wto understand the danger, secure their peace of mind by adopting tho only infallible rule of safety, never to pass under a. hoist ? There is always room to go around the hatchway, and I never fail to do that. "If people aro foolish and untaught about tho aA-oidaneo of danger, how much more so aro they regarding tho avoidance of incon venience? Never a train stops on the ele vated road or the Bridge but there a proces sion of gea-:e, oer to alight, standing in aisle of tho ears, ready to bo pitched, first headlong and th&n backward, yanked to and fro, clutching wildly at the door frames and at their neighbors, as the engineer applies the jerky air brakes. I usually get olj the car ahead of most of them, although I remain seated until tho train comes to a full stop, for I sit near the door, and when I get up 1 ris3 in my place iu the very van of the procession. A little headwork saves a great deul of leg work."' New York Tribune. Cheap a-nl SimpTc Gyumasiam.
