THE WORSE REALIZED.
Almost Two Hundred Lost their Lives in
the Aberschyan Explosion,
London, Feb. 5. The work of removing
the bodies of the miners who lost their
livus by the explosion iu the colliery at
Aberschyan yesterday is being carried on
as rapidly as possible. Already 135 bodies
have been taken from the pit and it is be
lieved about thirty more yet remain there.
The ventilation of the pit has been restored
and this greatly facilitates the efforts of
the workers. A very pathetic inci
dent in the work of rescno was
the finding of the bodies of
a father and his five sons
lying iu a group. They had not been
burned at nil and appeared to be calmly
sleeping. All of them had died from suf
focation. Several of the men who had
volunteered for the work of rescue were
made sick by handling the burned bodies
and were obliged to come to the surface.
The list of those who lost their lives by
the explosion in the colliery at Abaryschan
is constantly increasing. One hundred
and seventy bodies have thus far been
taken f roiii the pit and it is believed that
the total number of persons killed will
reach 11H).

THE PLOUR OUTPUT.
A bmaller rroauction Witn a
Production With
Much
Larger One Promised
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb.
The
Northwestern Miller says: "The
mills
made a somewhat smaller amount of flour
last week, the output barely passing the
100,000 mark. The aggregate figures were
103,1K) barrels, averaging 17,188 barrels
daily, against 117,740 barrels the week be
fore and 79,500 barrels for the correspond
ing week in 1S99."
"A larger production will be recorded
the current week. Three more mills are
ruLiiing now than a week ago, placing in
operation a capacity of over 4,000 barrels
in excess of last week. Still a fourth,
capable of making 4,500 barrels daily, will
ba started Moudav. The average output
of the week gives promise of being between
19,000 and 20,000 barrels. The agreement
as to the division of the water-power ends
today and hereafter it will be a go-as-you-please
'race.
"There is a unity of expression among
millers that seldom has the flour
market been as aull as at present.
Those who have reduced their out
put very lareely find it ex
tremely ditlicult to sell the little they are
producing. Some of the heavier concerns
which ure running steadily are naturally
disposing of a considerable part of their
product otherwise than by sales. In some
offices the supply of oldordeis has until
now aided greatly iu taking care of the
comparatively large manufacture, but this
source being about exhausted, more flour
will have to go into store if the present
status of things is preserved."
The export inquiry has become very
faint, the lowest prices made by millers in
many cases failing to elicit even a counter
Cropositiou. There is a trifle more interest
eing shown in low grades, the heavy ad
vance in offal causing them to be used as a
substitute for feed.
The direct exports of flour for the week
were 33,200 barrels against 3C.G3Q the pre
vious week. London quotations for 2S0
pounds c. i. f. are: Patents. 30s 9d to 31s
3d; bakers', 22s 9d to23s9d; low grades,
lis Gil to 13s Gd. There were 570.930
bushels of wheat receired for the week
ending February 4. The shipments were:
Wheat, 79,800 bushels; Hour, 100,948 "bar
rels; millstuffs, 3,820 tons.
A HAUNTED HOUSE.
This body of ours has been likened to a
tenement. It often has a haunted apart
ment the stomach. Scared by the eldrich
sprite, dyspepsia, digestion flies and re
fuses to return. What can break thespeil,
what can raise the ban laid upon the un
happy organs? Wo answer unhesitating
ly, Uostetter's Stomach Bitters, and we
are warranted in the response by the re
corded testimony of myriads, covering a
period of over a third of a century. A
course of the Bitters, begun in any stauo
of the affliction, aud persistently followed,
will termiuate in cure positive, uat partial.
The Bitters restore tone to the epigastric
nerve, renews aud purifies the juices ex
uding from the cellular tissue that act
upon the food digestivelv, expels bile from
the stomach and the blobd, and promotes
a regular habit of body. Malaria, kidney
complaint, nervousness, rheumatism and
neuralgia give way to this medicine.
TEG SALOONS DEMOLISHED.
Indignant Women of Lathrop, Mo., Take
the Law in Their Hands-
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 7. The Times
Lathi op, Mo., special says: For some
mouths past two saloons have been per
mitted by the city authorities to be kept
open in defiance of the local option law.
Lately serious disturbances have occurred
in both resorts. This so disturbed the
ladies of the city that they determined to
take action in the matter. To determine
the nature of such action an indignation
meeting was held today. About 100 ladies
were present, among them being the
wives of some of the most prominent men
iu town. At the meeting it was decided
to break up the saloons and the ladies
lost no time in executing the decision.
They proceeded in a body first
to the saloon of Thomas Ward. " He had
notice of the ladies intention and had
barricaded the doors of his saloon, but the
crusaders were not to be stopped by such
obstacles. They battered iu the windows,
broko down the door, demolished the
saloon fixtures, rolled barrels and kegs
into the street, burst them open and
allowed the liquor to flow into the gutter.
From there the ladies proceeded to the
saloon of James Carroll, whose saloon was
also demolished and his stock of liquors
poured Into the gutter. Three drug stores
were visited and their proprietors were
given notice thnt their establishments
would be treated like the saloons if they
did not cease to sell intoxicants in viola
tion of the law. About $1,000 worth of
liquor was destroyed by the crusaders to
day. Get into good condition for the change
of season by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.
A LABOR FINANCIAL ALLIANCE.
Boston, Mass.. Feb. 7. A mornincnapcr
states apparently on the authority
of the leaders of the move
ment that there is to bo organ
ized in this country previous to the eicht
hour strike of May 1, 1590, a gigantic labor
financial alliance withiu the ranks of the
American federation of labor. It is pro
posed to accumulate a joint stock fund of
at least jttSO.OOO before April SO, to be
placed at the disposal of auy trade whose
crafts may be on a strike or locked out.
The organization of this alliance is said to
be already well under way.
The leaders claim that labor organiza
tions have practically run ou nothing but
sentiment and the past is still strewn with
innumerable wrecks of labor associations
whose members had not learned that au
empty pocketbook meant hunger and that
hunger always enabled the euiulovers to
win. There are affiliated with the Ameri
can federation of labor 750,000 workers, I
.Allowing mat tnisuumuer of men average
forty working weeks in a year, that would
give $3,000,OjO for a joint fund by each
man paying 10 cents a week. This fund
would insure the success of strikes, and
make the organization extrenielv power
fuL CANADIAN FARMERS PROTEST.
TOKONTO, Feb. 7. The York county
council has adopted a resolution urging j
the government to permit the importation j
of American cattle to Europe over Cana- .
dian lines, on the grounds that it would
be injurious to Canadian farmers. j
RATHER PECULIAR.
A More Hopeful Tone Prevails With Less
Encouraging Reports.
New York, Feb, 7. R. &. Dun & Co's
Weekly Review of Trade 'says: It, rarely
happens that the situation In business is as
perplexing as it is now. The general tenor
of reports is less encouraging, .yet there is
seen in every quarter strong confidence in
the future of business and such reaction as
appears is generally believed to be tempo
rary. The monetary" prospect has clearly
improved, Domestic money markets are
gradually growing eacier with moderate or
fair demand. Collections, also, are aver
age or fair at nearly all points and defi
nitely improved at severaL Money ac
cumulates here notwithstanding the treas
ury has taken in $1,000,000 during the week
more than it has paid out.
At almost all interior cities the un
seasonable weather still retards many
kinds of trade. Trade at most other points
is only fair for the season. The iarger
branches of industry do nor, for the mo
ment, show entirely encouraging results.
Wheat has declined c, corn j&c, and oats
jc, with moderate trading. Od ias risen
2c Sugar is stronger and firm but sales
bv Snreckles are noted below trust prices.
Coffee is steady and the minor metals are
lower abroad and weaker here.
Little depression appeared in the stock J
inariveu wuiuu is ueiu icijr suuuuuimj, uc
average of prices being scarcely per cent
lower than a week ago. The reported
earnings of companies are heavy, averag
ing for January a gain of 13 per cent over
last year, when rates were much demoral
ize!. The foreign trade of the country seems
to shrink a little, as a natural result after
the enormous movement of last year, and
exports aud imports at New York both
show some decline in comparison with
a vear aeo.
The business failures number 321, as
compared with a total of 291 for last week.
For corresponding week of last year the
figures were 303.
In chronic cases of neuralgia, rheuma
tism, or gout, where this disturbing cause
is a certain acid which poisons the blood,
Salvation Oil should be used. This pow
erful pain-destroyer will in time dissolve
the poison circulating in the blood, aud
briug relief when all others fail. Price 25

CHEAPER THAN VIA CHICAGO.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 7. The Chicago, St
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha has given no
tice that it will at once put into effect a
reduced scale of rates from the Missouri
river to St. Paul on business destined to
New York, Boston aud other eastern
noints. The -nronortions range from 5"
cents a hundred pounds on first class to 20 J.
cents on nitu clas ana l'eDruary y is given
as the day on which they will become op
erative. The action is to meet competi
tion of the Great Northern & Sioux City,

rates from Omaha to the seaboard via St.
Paul and Cauadian lines much lower than
tnose iu effect via Chicago.

Glasgow, Feb. 7. Mitchell beat Mace in
a Doxiug match for 25,000. Mace was bad
ly punished.
The match between Mitchell and Mace
was short and decisive. It was fought in
four rounds of two minutes each. Neither
of the men had trained much. Two
thousand persons witnessed it and a num
ber of high priced aristocrats gathered
around the ring. At the end of the first
round it was evident that Mace had but
little chance ta win. When time was
called on tke"fourth round there were
many doubts whether Mace could appear.
DECLARED A DRAW.
BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 7. Dixon (colored)
and McCarthy fought tonight for the ban
tam championship of the world. The
men have been ill training for some weeks
and both were in prime condition. The

STYLES THAT ARE APPROVED AT
HOME AND ABROAD.
A. i.
fashions In Ball ami Evening Gowns The
ropulsrityjOfHSaMlan IfetXew Effects
in Bodice 'aadi1 Sleeves Two French
Skating Costames Described.
Russian net., in all colors, is much employed
for ball gowns. It is allowed to fall very
plainly over a silk skirt, and has ribbons or
velvet run in and out, trou-trou fashion. But
i greater novelty is a skirt of netted silk
braid, in the same style as the hair nets, onco
so popular. For half mourning an elegant
gown can be arranged with this network in
black, over a white silk and satin skirt, with
tolerably wide white ribbon run in and out,
near the edge; bodice and short square train
of black brocade, with a wido white sash.
Black lace, over black silk, can be substi
tuted for the brocade, if lightness is an ob
ject A. YELLOW SATIN EVESTKQ GOWS.
Skirts of crepe do Chine, slightly draped,
with a full pleating of silk below, and bodice
and train of brocade, are made up in ex
quisitely delicate shades silver gray, pale
pink, pale green and white being favorites.
The bodices are generally of two materials,
one half of a substantial one satin or velvet
and the other of an airy fabric drawn up
in folds to the sleeve, and finished off in it.
Sleeves are often quite differently manipu
lated. A bracelet of flowers worn just be
low the short sleevo on one arm is a pretty
fashion, and is often earned out in real
flowers. Sometimes there is a floral bracelet
on one arm, and a cluster of corresponding
flowers on the tulle puff forming tho sleeve
on tho other.
Most ball skirts fall quite plainly in front,
all tho fullness being at the back. Ribbons
run on or run in and out near tho edge of the
skirt are popular. Some go round the skirt,
others np and down it, according to tasto.
They match the bodice or the sash. On many
of the Russian net skirts a deep band of
pointed lace of effective design is sewn on at
a few inches from, or sometimes quite near,
tho edge, with the points upwards. A piece
with the points downwards passes round the
hips at the edge of the bodice.
In the cut is shown an imported dinner or
evening gown in yellow satin, embroidered
with silver. A deep silver fringe edges the
short front drapery. Tho back of the skirt
opens over a tulle petticoat.
Embroidered Jacbote.
Rich embroidered zouave or Greek jackets
are furnished now for wearing with protty
skirts. Tho newest shirts are tucked or have
alternate rows of tucks and French knots.
This is a stylo newer than smocking. Many
of the jerseys have epaulets in one style or
another, following tho dictate of fashion,
which roquires that everything shall now be
much raised on the shoulders. Even lace
fichus have, occasionally, epaulets, and may
be of mt-rabont trimming, pearl embroidery
or plaitings of lace. One recently seen had a
plain piece of lace cut to the shape of the
neck and shoulders, with a deep fall gathered
to it, reaching midway between shoulder and
elbow, while round tho throat was a band of
feathery marabout of palest pink, and epau
let pieces on each shoulder. It tied with pink
satin ribbons, and was intended to be worn
for dinner, or when otherwise required, over
a low dress. Fichu3 are often worn at the
theatre and small entertainments.
A Travelinc Bonnet.
An ingenious English speciality i3 a little
traveling bonnet made entirely without
wires; it can bo folded quite flat, and put in
a bag or hold-all; a favorite model is made in
dark blue velvet with loose blue velvet
crown, full pleated frill to the face, with ro
sette at tho side of bluo and gold ribbon; blue
ribbon strings from tho back.
Skating Costumes.
Many of the French skating costumes are
nearly covered with rich black silk embroi
dery. This is a stylo that promises to be
come popular, for the make of dresses is so
plain and simple now that the only way to
make them costly and produce effect is bjrtha
richness of tho material and the work ex
pended thereon.
FRENCH SKATTTO COSTtnTES.
One figure in the cut represents a prineea
gown in chevoit tweed, edged round tho hem
with fur, and ornamented round the neck,
the arm holes and down tha side of the skirt
with scrolls in gold cord or chain stitch.
Spaced festoons of woolen cord connect tb '
two borders of tho opening, and are secured
under tiny heads of fox, like the one on the
seal toque. The sleeves and panels are cf
velvet. The remaining costmne is composed
of a skirt of serge, trimmed with black braid
ing in front. Too close fitting jacket is of
Velours white, the coliarett and cuffs are of
raccoon fur. The felt hafrss trimmed with
black biros and satin ribboa.

driven nearly frantic by a phenomenon
which interrupted his labors at precisely 9
p. m. each evening. This man of letters was,
and still is, engaged in tho patting together
of an historical romance. He was formerly a
newspaper man, and his muse, from force of
habit, refuses to operate until tho shades of
night have fallen. It is therefore the novel
ist's custom, when he has finished his dinner
and smoked a pipe, to repair to his little
writing room, whose singlo window opens on
narrow co-art, and proceed to extricate tha
riiildren of his brain from the embarrassing
situation in which ha left them the night be
fore. THE GIANTESSES.
The progress of the romance was quite sat
isfactory until the end of the first week in
December, when the romancer was confront
ed by aa apparition as weird as it was inex
plicable. The novelist's window has no blind,
Tho window oL a similar room exactly oppo
site across the court is furnished at night
with a curtain of thin white cotton cloth.
There was nearly always a bright light in
the room, but its occupant was apparently of
a studious disposition, for no sound of voices
or noise of any kind ever disturbed tho nov
elist. The apparition in question had the
form of a pair of giantesses silhouetted on
the white curtain, just as they appear in this
cub, only so largo that their faces completely
covered the curtain.
One of the giantesses always wore a bon
net and the other a lace house cap. From tho
similarity of their profiles the novelist judged
that the giantesses were near relatives, prob
ably sisters. At 9:30 o'clock tho silhouettes
disappeared as suddenly as they had come;
but the following night they were there again
at precisely tho same hour, and remained ex
actly half an hour as before. This time tho
novelist arrived at tho conclusion that tho
giantess wearing the lace cap might bo the
mistress of the house, and the giantess in the
bonnet her sister visiting her. Their im
mense size, as pictured on tho curtain, was
evidently due to the position of the light in
tho room. But why did tho sisters sit overy
evening, without moving or opening thoir
lips, in exactly tho same position for exactly
half an hour?
Eventually this question nearly drove tho
novelist crazy, and left his hero and heroine
suspended in mid-air. Seating himself at his
desk at 8 in tho evening, ho would try to
take up tho thread of his story, only to find
himself speculating whether or not tho giant
esses could appear as usual, como earlier or
remain later. But for two weeks they never
varied their programme in the slightest par
ticular. Finally the novelist could enduro
the strain no longer. He appealed to the
janitor, who informed him that the room
across the way was the studio of an artist.
On tho following evening at 9:15 o'clock,
the giantesses having appeared as usual, ho
made the artist a neighborly call. The mo
ment ho entered the "room the mystery was
explained. The artist was at work on a por
trait of a child from a photograph, and tho
child's methodical mother also tho artist's
mother and her methodical sister living
across the street were spending half an hour
each evening, seated sido by side on a setter
near the window evidently watching the
picture's progress. A few days later tho
picture was finished, tho giantesses no longer
appeared, and the novelist was able to resume
his romance.
Tho Question of Dowry.
Special Correspondenco.
YrcTNA, Jan. 12. In every country that 1
have ever visited it i3 considered rather a
detriment to have been born a girl as far as
the prospects for matrimony are concerned,
for no nian will marry one unless Eho has a
dowry, and to such an extent is thu demand
for husbands carried that one might truth
fully state that men have a fixed marketable
price. Military men in the German coun
tries havo a price put upon them by their re- i
spectivo governments so much for a general,
so much for a colonel and so on down to the
high privates, and in tho most of these coun
tries the girl most provide 1,000 gulden or
she can't have her common soldier. This 13

aZZCleems tnat CE5 more advanced in civil
ization they are tho more exacting the people
are about dowry. The half savage tribes iu
the mountains in Europe expect a dowry of
gold and silver coins, wkteh the girl wears on
her neck and waist until wedded, and a cer
tain amount of household furnishing, and
perhaps a little cow and ptg or hecp.
The Turks form a notaola exception to the
rule, as they by no means exact a payment of
dowry with their wives; on the contrary,
they often buy them. Each parent in Turkcy
who gives his daughter as a first wife to a
young man feels a pride in giving her a dow
ry, but it is notatalliiecesaary, andif he doe
give her one it remains her own property
forever, and her husband never uses it for
himself. He controls it, and uses the interest
for her benefit; but it is kept intact for her
and her children, so that it she is divorced or
widowed it remains for her support. STo
