Besides the onllnary hip pocket, there were two breast pock ets, a lengthwise pocket on the rlght band Bide provided for the comfort able stowing away of manuscripts, or packages of similar bulk. On the loft aide, near the vHlst, a tiny leugtb wlte pocket offered a convenient place of security for car ticket.

Yoiina Women Kill 'fhctneel vca. Statistical table yield curious in for mation to the careful student. For In stance, they ahow that over one-third of the women who kill themselves are not yet 23 year of age. They show that women take poison, where ni".i shopt theumelve, nnd they show that 'ho poor, sick and tho Infirm are not by any kind of reckoning In the majority. A physician who makes a study of caes of caw of attempted suicide said this: "Get a girl past 23 nnd sha'll go through poverty, elcknoe and deser tion and misery enough to kill ten men. The more people suffer the more they cling to life. I've seen It In hospitals. It Is not the patients -villi Incurable WW0 diseases or the hojieless crippled a!), lM-g to die. but the young, Mroiig. vita -woman, who hates pala and doesn't want to suffer it, even t T ' he chance ot getting well."

Almost anywhere east of the SIi hlssippl Valley the girl drummer hai come to lie regarded as a fact, but it the vast legion west she Is as yet i rarity. This Is especially true of ("all fornla. and Miss (Jlenn Byrne, a bus tllng girl from New York. Is glad thin she Is a novelty there. She travels fol n house that deals In women's ready made gowns, ami since her arrival It the (iohleu State she has Ix-eu doing t tine busliii'ss. Miss Rynie Is a sllii little girl, not particularly good-look Ing. but with an attractive manner. Ot course all drummers even tlx" men are voluble talkers. According to al ncmunta this young woman fully sus tains the general reputation. "How did you happen to go Into thli buslnifis?" she was askeil. "That Is easily answered. I took il up because I saw that there was a fu ture In It for mo. It Is one of the few professions that ore not overcrowilit' with women.

No, I don't call myself a new woman nt all.i I fall to see why c girl cannot be Just as feminine In inj bi.-sluess as though she knitted tidies for a living." Revival of Knlttiri-. One of the fads which are at presen! hovering on the brink of general adop tion Is 'hat of knitting. The iistlui(' of our grandmothers woh quite the rage at NewMirt last season. The swell girl went around with bags of yarn on their arms, and knitted themselves and their admirers golf, bicycle and tennis stick ing, as well as traveling bags and urn brella covers. At present stockings arc what the fashionable girl devotes most of her attention, to. The swell young man has bicycle stockings knitted for him by his 1.... admirers now. lie ru; longer has to buy them. All he docs Is to pick out the color yarn be wants, and one of his girl friends converts It Intu stockings. Weddlnic Hint. Only ma lib should wear white; wid ows are to be dressed In gray or mauve, and a bonnet, too, la considered best form for a widow. It has become very fashionable to have odd days to Is? married on, sucli us Monday or Saturday, an unheard-of thing a few years ago, when Wednes day or Thursday was tho day Invaria bly chosen. A very pretty fashion Is to have loose bunches of the prevailing flower fast ened to tho top of the pew's end In the church; not every one, but nt careless Intervals, and tho effect Is very strik ing. The brlde-to-bo, or some near friend If she can't get through with sn ninny, writes a note of thanks for euch gift, tho sooner tho better, and it Is usual to Introduce the groom's name In some way and write them In the plural num ber. A very pretty Idea Is the one In vogue for tho last few years of having the marriage certificate Isjtind In white kid, with a tiumlsT of vacant pages npismd ed for each guest to sign his name. It makoa a very Interesting thing to have and to hand down. r.I.KNX 1IVRNK. G M VW out. r:j)iimiium m th Antil Hrttk Tti.t Follows WtuitSBARHE. Pa., Oct. 3).

When the ex plot ion occurred Wi'.'.iam Lscey, a contractor, was at work in a roi k tunnel alo it a mile from the loot of the shaft nh thirteen men. Imme diately after the explo-ion a rescuing gang was organized by Fire Hosb William K. Jones and Vssistant Foreman John W. Josephs. The men proceeded down the ehdft, Jones and Jo-iephs being far in advance. When about one mile froaa the foot of the i-hatt they slum bled ove the bjdies o( Contractor l.acey, Owens, Herring and Worth. At this point Jones and Josephs were overcome by black damp and fell dead in their tracks. The other rescuers were forced to beat a hasty retreat, bringing the bodies of Jones and Josephs with them. ' ) A few hours later the air current was partly restored and the men were able to push their way into the tunnel, and at 8:30 last night signalled that they, bad reiovered the bodies of the four rock miu'-rs. The rescuers with the; bodies were brought to the surface, shortly afterwards. J : There were teveral theories as to the cauHe of the explosion. The mine is known to be a gas-ous one and extra precautions have always been taken to guard against explosions. All the menj at work in the tunnel carried safety lamps, so it is not believed that the gas was exploded from a naked lam . The moet plausible theory is that the ?a8 was ignited by a blast. ' The roof of the fan houee was blown off and the building otherwise damaged.; The shock from the explosioa was heard fully a mile away. The mine is on Are and will cause the company much trou ble and expense before the flames can be subdued. In paHt years this colliery has been the scene of several bad ex plosions, 'lhe most destructive oc curred on Sunday, March 9, 1WK), by1 which ei;ht miners were burned to death in a most horrible manner, and two years ago som of the members of the New Y rk coal exchange h id an irrow escape. A party of ten weie on the carriage and leen lowered a thort distance into the shaft when an rx plosion took place near the foot. The carriage was quickly hoisted ou'. of ihe shaft jiiH', in timi to save the lives of the New Yorkers. I a-a JliryctUtM. Xashviu.k, Tenti., Oct. 30. John 8..

The atrocities practiced by the Spaniards, w ho are exasperated beyond endurance by the persistence of the Cuban", would hardly be credited. I have seen women am' girls outraged, and I saw an Ameri can citiien, Dan Erb, formerly a fire man on the Denver A Rio Grande rail road at Ieadvilie, shot doTii in blood by a Spanish ollicer. Erb taken prisoner at the same time as cold was my- self. We were held as prisoners on the side of the tailroa i track awaiting the train t carry us to Havana.

Commodore Marita is a veteran naval officer, who has seen much service. He commanded a vessel during the recei t Chinese-JapaneBe war, and took an a tive part in the famous battle of We -Hai-Wei. During the time lie has been m the service, he has devote! a great deal of timi to the study of naval archi tecture, and is considered an authority on the subject of his own country. The mission on which Commodore Marita cornea tothij country is one of great importance, for his report will pro bably greatly influence Japanse govern ment in letting contracts for a number oi powerful battleships, fast cruisers and swift torpedo boata. "I am here," he Baid, "as the agent of the Japanean government to inspect your ship-yards, study naval architec ture and gain all the information pos sible in securing the warships it will need for its own defense. After inspect ing the American yards, I shall go to England with the same object in view. More than that I cannot jay now." Commodore Marita travels as an at tache of the Japanese legation, in order that he may be in closer touch with the government. He calculates that the work he has undertaken will requiie many months of dilligent effort, and he proposes to commence investigations in this city. New Honor nnd I'unlHh merit at Onre.
