A BONFIRE OF CORSETS.
Scores of Women Tear Them off at a
Revival Meeting.
A SCENE IN A SMALL TOWN.
The Revivalist Urges Iiis Hearers to
Tear the Accursed Garments from
Their Bodies.
K ingston , Ont., Sept. 15.—A few
weeks ago the Free Methodists be
gan a series of revival meetings in
Sydenham and made many con
verts. Women seemed paticularly
anxious to be gathered into the
fold. As the number of converts
increased the excitement grew, and
the meetings, which were held in
the town hall, grew so noisy that
complaint was made to the authori
ties, and the revivalists were noti
Vfied on Tuesday that they would
have to hold their meetings else
where.
Nothing daunted they left the
place, after putting out scouts to
advise their friends where the meet
ing would be held, and adjourned
to a large vacant lot in the edge of
town. Here they were addressed
by J. F. Frazier, a revivalist, who
sailed into the prevailing mode of
female dress and said women are
born beauliful and die misshapen
because of the wearing of corsets.
Frasier is an earnest and powerful
speaker and his words created
great excitement among the women
present.
"Throw the accursed invention!"
he cried, "throw it off and go to
God as you left him! Burn them
rather than burn yourselves in
everlasting fire!"
This suggestion struck a respon
sive chord and he had hardly
^ ceased speaking when an enthusiast
piled up material for a bonfire and
applied a match. It was a wierd
scene, the dusky evening, the
crowd of religious enthusiasts,
quivering with excitement, sur
rounding a fire which shot up long
tounges of flame.
"Throw off the garment!" shouted
the revivalist.
"Burn them!" hysterically cried
a feminine voice in the crowd, and
pushing and panting a young wo
man of twenty-five forced her way
to the center near a bonfire. She
was tugging at her dress. There
was a sudden gleam of white shoul
ders in the glare of the firelight
and she flung her corset into the
flames saying she would die as
God had made her and not as she
had made herself.
Her example was contagious, and
in less than half an hour not a
woman in the crowd wore a corset,
Land nothing remained in the blaze
i/Sfat a mass of grotesquely twisted
corset steels, amid which the
flaraes playfully flickered. The ex
citement was so great and the ner
vous strain so tense that several
women grew faint, but they had
burned their corsets and were
happy.
The Free Methodists consider
the revival a great success and
talk of carrying the war in the
states.
A SILVER MINE STORY.
Denver News.
The recent strike of a three-inch
vein of native silver in the mines
nt Caribou recalls an old story of
tho discovery of the mincH, as
told by Sam Cushman, an old-time
resident of Gilpin county, and at
one time superintendent of the
Caribou property. Some twenty
v five years ago there lived at Black
Hawk a prospector who never
seemed capable of getting ahead in
(he world, lie prospected oa "grub
8tnkt?f>" in the summer, sawed wood
and <1M chores in the winter, but
at :i!l times wjis a Imppv go-huky
sort of a fellow, well liked by all
who knew him. When the Union
Pacific was completed to Cheyenne i
he was seized with a desire to go
east and see the old folks. By one
means or another he managed to
scrape money enough together and
started for Cheyenne. Arriving"
there, he wandered down to the
depot, and not having seen an
engine or a railroad for many years
he was greatly interested in tho
movements of trains in the yard.
At last something particular at
tracted his attention. He climbed
on the car and critically examined
its contents, putting a specimen or
two in his pocket.
"Stop that," yelled the brake
man."
"Why it's not good for much, is
it?" replied the astonished pros
pector.
"That's Nevada ore, and it's
worth $1,000 a ton."
"Well, I know where there are
tons of it," replied the Coloradoan,
as he jumped from the train and
started for the leading corral to
engage passage with the next ox
train for the mountains. Outfitting
himself he started for the Boulder
mountain and located the Caribou
lode. The truth was he hai often
walked over the float that indicated
thé mine, but never supposed it
was good for anything until he
learned its value in the manner
related. The prospector disposed
of his claim for a song, but the late
Ex-Senator Chaffee sold it to a
Holland syndicate for a round mil
lion dollars.

Chicago News.
That great man, the Hon. Jerry
Simpson, of Kansas, in his speech
at Sharpshooters' park on Monday
is reported to have made these
cutting remarks: "The two parties
now in powçe. have,' appointed a
board of lad/ nwha^s for the
world's fair/ The * woopen of the
country are not represeii ^id . The
ladies are those tihb "friar silk
stockings, silk- dreâses qgid dia
monds. Our piarty would aake a
board of womeh.'t"& t
•7.^
No wonder Mr. Simpson's ire is
aroused. Stockings, forsooth! And
silk ones at thatl
When the representative in con
gress of the good people of the 7th
Kansas district has set mankind
and womenkind an edifying exam
ple of the dignity and honor to be
acquired by eschewing euch frivo
lous forms of haberdashery sheer
insolence alone sustains those who
persist in wearing hosiery.
A great .and blameless man is
this Mr. Simpson, who stands for
the uprisen masses, and who, as
Shakespeare has it, is "sans guile
sans fear, sans socks, sans every
thing."

An incident of rare occurrence
happened near Salem, 111., some
time ago. A highly respected
christian lady, whose name it is
unneccessary to mention, resided a
short distance from there, was lying
on her death-bed. Knowing that
the end was near, she expressed a
desire to have her funeral preached
before her demise. Four days

Biinkerhoff complied with her
request. lie went to the bedside
of the dying lady, called her bus
band and a large family of grown
children into the death-room and
appropriately delivered the funeral
sermon as requested. The lady,
who was a prominent member of
the Christian church, expressed
herself happy and ready for the
end to come. This is the only in
stance of the kind that ever hap
pened in this section.
THE LAST STRAW.
New York Weekly.
Daughter—"I can't marry that
man. He's bad."
Mother—"My dear, think how
very, very rich—"
Daughter—"In his youth he
killed a man."
Mother—"Youth can be forgiven
manv follies. Think how rich—"
Daughter—"Once he stole $40,
000, and his father had to pay it.''
Mother—"That was all hushed
up. Think how rich—"
Daughter — "He is an awful
drunkard."
Mother—"Many gentlemen drink

Daughter—"He says your are

Why are you thus
To be September squelched,
And leave the heart that thumps
To throb on in its
Throbfulness,
With nothing, save
The memory of a
Glinting gleam of glory
To lean up against,
. Until next summer's sweet supply
Comes into market?
Oh, ditn, delicious dream!
Oh, darn the luck!
Oh, summer girl,
Au revoir!
Oh, mamma!!
