THE ISCONSIN. THOUGHTS OF DYING MEN SAXOM MX3T. BBS WROTE Death Crept Btoalthtly Upon Them IB the or the PMhetta In God'a Baa- Oatr. H. T.

Tribune. During the late strike of the miners in the Schnylkill coal region I had occasion to visit several of the mining towns. In one of them I enjoyed the hospitality of an intelligent miner who came to America twenty years ago from Baxony, where he had. worked in the mines. He left that country soon after the occurrence of one of the most terrible colliery disasters on record, by which a large nnm ber of miners lost their lives.

He was one of the force of miners who volun- teeredjx) enter the dangerous depths of the exploded mine for the purpose of attempting the rescue of such of the disaster as might possibly have survived the explosion itself but were barricaded from escape by walls of fallen coal between them and the mouth Of the mine. There had been a large number of such victims, as the rescuing party found too late, the obstructions between them and the doomed men having been too great to permit of removal in time to save them from a lingering and horrible death. Of that melancholy catastrophe my miner friend has preserved a most remarkable record in a series of manuscript copies, translated into English, of messages written to their friends by sncb of the doomed Saxon miiiers as were not killed outright by the explosion, but were among those who were preserved for the no less sure and more terrible death by suffocation, as the poisoned gases slowly destroyed the pure air that remained in the mine. These messages were found in notebooks and on scraps of paper on the dead bodies ot the poor men. when they were at last recovered.

These last messages from the dead certainly have parallel in heart-touching pathos. Nowhere, in history or romance, is snch scene depicted as is shown by these simple messages a picture of men, face to face with death, awaiting its coming with a calmness and a resignation which only the noblest and strongest hearts could summon. Not one word in the whole record reveals a feeling of bitterness against the fate they could not avert. There is an intensity of pathos in some of the lines scrawled by the death-besieged mien in the gloom of their narrow prison. For instance, one of them, miner named Keiche, held in his hand when his dead body was found a scrap of paper on which was scrawled these words: "Dear lister: Meyer, in the village, owes ine 10 thalers.

It is yours. I hope my face will not be distorted when they find us. I might have been better lo yon. Janetz forgives me. Good-by." as my old miner friend fold me, having the history of all these poor men still fresh in his mind, was a f-e- vere man, his only relative being a sister, a young and pretty girl named Kika, who had charge of her brother's household.

She was loved bv a young miner named Janetz, and she loved him in return. Her brother reiused to consent to her marrying Junetz, and had commanded all conirmiiijeation between them to cease. Janetz was one of the vietsms of the mine disaster. Pinned to his blackened coat when his body was.found, lyijpp near that of Reicbe, was a leaf from his note-book, on which he had written "Darling Rika: My last thought was of thce. It is well with our brother, and my heart holds no bitterness.

Thy name will last words my lips shall speak. Farewell." Utter absence of all selfishness, all re- pinings over their fateas it immediately ali'ented themselves, is toucbingly apparent in all the messages. Lj'ing'close to the body of the young miner Janetz was that of his friend Moretz, who had a wife and two children. On a paperin his cap heJrad written these words: "Janets? has just died. Richer is dying.

He says: 'Tell my family I leave them with Farewell, dear wife. Farewell, dear children. May God you." Two brothers of the name of Jaehn were employed in the mine, working in alternate "shifts." On the dsy of the disaster the brother whose turn it was to work was unable to go. and his brother, although weary from his own toil, generously took his place. The poor man was among the victims.

This message was found on his dead body: "Thank God for His goodness, brother! You are safe!" The miner Schmidt wrote: "My dear relations, while seeing death me 1 remember yon. Farewell until we nice; apain in happiness One of the doomed men was a man of family named Moller. His message, found oh the fly leaf of aTestament in his pocket, was oiie of the most touching pf all. "Dear he wrote, take good care of Mary. In a book in, the bedroom you will find a thaler.

Farewell, dear mother We will meet again." The Mary be mentioned was the miner's only daughter, who was Wind. A miner named llichcr, Whose brother was mentioned as dying in Moretz's message, siuiplv wrote on a piece of paper which wasfciind on hisbreast: "isa more toil in darkness." The story of the terrible struggle these poor men made lor life in the gas-choked depths is told in a few lines found in the note-book of a miner named Bahr ''This is the last place where we have taken refuge. It is the last we can take. I give up all hope. The ventilation has been destroyed in three different places of refuge.

Mav God take myself and relatives, and dear friends who must die with me, as well as our families, under His protection." There are many other passages in this pathetic dinrVj made up of the messages from these dying miners, all breathing' 'a simple piety and unselfish resignation. This uniformlv pious spirit was explained by the old miner. He said that the miiiers of Saxony are all reared in a strict religions school, and that on entering the mines they all petition Henven for protection while thev are surrounded by ever-present perils in tbe depths, End on leaving the mines they return thanks tS God for guarding them and bringing them safely through the dangers of their toil. "I never read these simple messages of those miners without moistened eyes," said the old miner. "I can picture to myself the scene of the Tough- handed but tender-hearted men.

spending their last moments not in wild cries for mercy and screams of remorse, nor in repining against their cruel fate, bni of sending these farewell words to their loved ones, who were even then bewailing them as dead. While my heart bleeds over the picture, I thank God that, humble miners though they were, they showed the world how bravely and nobly they could die." Regimental Reunion In June. LA Quant, April A circular haa been issued to aU members at the Fourteenth Regiment announcing the reunion to be held here on the 12th, 18th and 14th of June next. The La. Crosse and Lemomveir "Vallev and La CroEse County Associations will meet at that time; also the Second Cavalry.

The circular says: The first meeting will be held Tuesday evening. June 12, and the meetings will continue through Wednesday and Thursday -Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'cloct officers of the regimental association will be chosen for the ensuing year. Wednesday evening a public meeting will be held, at which, interspersed; with war songs, will be read papers prepared by the members of the regiment on the principal battles in which the regiment was engaged." Cols. Hancock, Polleys and Penis and Capta. Magdeburg, Johnson and Mansfield have already written the local committee, giving them assurance that they will be present.

rirs O'CLOCK TKA. From tbe New York Mai! and Express. THE many new and pretty things in jewelry; if not a joy forever, are certainly a delight for the time being. AN inkstand and paperweight all in one is the invention of some one who, probably, did not ait up very late. IN the naming of the new spring bonnets very few women of any celebrity or notoriety appear to nave escaped.

NEW sunshades and parasols are already on sale, and the women have not made up their minds whether they like them. pots are more and more the craze, as it is to be very much doubted if there is a French dressing table without one. THE Beruhardt shoulder cape and collar, all in one piece, is one of the new things from Paris sore to be fashionable. SO-CALLED vellum paper is something new in "iigh class The fact that it comes from London adds to the price. FEE-LINED fur-trimmed overcoats do not signify a great deal these days.

Often they enclose the most unimportant of men. DECORATIVE art has not yet. found a way to utilize the discarded high hat, which is strange in these days of even embellished coal-skuttles. PEABL-BLADSD, silver-handled paper cutters are on hand lor the class of buyers who have no faith in anything that is not sold at a fabulous pricel IN Paris the women are carrying a silver ball about the size of a tennis ball, which opens in a half and holds enough sugarplums for a few hours. NEW patterns and styles in oyster plates, although they'come late, do not look, as has been stated, as if they were going out of fashion yet awhile.

Too nianv silver trinkets and nick- nacks dangling about a girl in public soon get for her the reputation of not having the most refined taste in the world. IN the spring a young man's fancv may lightly turn to thoughts of a married woman's thoughts drift to an India shawl, if she has such a thing. BEADED lace and jet shoulder capes are-to be as much the fashion this spring as they ever were, according to.the bulletin in front of fashionable headquarters. THERE will be "weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth" among thousands of women when the time cojnes to put awa3' sealskin sacques, jackets and dolmans. THKEE and lour-fold screens, with two or three sets of different coverings, are new.

The material has brass rings on the edge which go on brass pegs on the framework. AFTER THE By the late David Gray, of the Buffalo Courier, ill bis "Last Indian Council on tbe Geneue."

FOUNTAIN April reached this city last night of a bloody encounter whicu occurred on the crossing of the Burlington Koad with the Chi- cago North-Western, about MX miles below the city. Two parties, one unknown, the other a quarry-man named scott, were under the influence of lignor, going home at a late hour on the night of the 2d the unknown party cut Scott with a knife and left him for dead. He was found morning in the ditch. It is thought he will as his injuries are severe, several gashes inthe.cb.e6t and face. Both men were seen in Winona on Sunday night drinking and quarreling.

AS tTJLLIAX BCVLPTOX-B SISGU- Uat MISTAKE. A Jtarble Counterfeit of the First JLady Land That Turned Oat to be MI- Imaga of Somebody Tlse A Washington Dispatch to N. T. World. Wesley Sisson, who is in charge oi the business details of the authors' reading for A.

M. Pahner, relates the following narrative, which is certainly unique and no doubt trne: "Last Snnday night I was dining with young Alexander Salvini, son ol the great tragedian. There were seated at the table several of his Italian friends, among them a young lawyer who attends to many local matters for the colony of his countrymen in New York. Between the courses of macaroni the lawyer drew a photograph from his pocket, and, handing it to me, asked if it was not the picture of some lady in my profession. The features were unknown to me, and so I told him.

he said with an odd smile, 'von all ought to know who that is. That's As each one of the party carried a mental, photograph at least of Sirs. Cleveland with him, there were various exclamations of surprise as the picture quickly went round. He then told the following story: 'About the holidays I got a letter from an Italian sculptor, well known in ItaJy and not without honor In America. He wrote that he would forward" me a marble bust of Mrs.

Cleveland. He wanted me to go to the custom house on the arrival of the steamer, pay the duty on the bust, take it' out and arrange through the Italian consul at Washington to have Mrs. Cleveland and the President see it, and he was sure they would buy it at the price he named, which was only $500. When the steamer pot into port I paid the duty, over and took out the bust. When it was unpacked I found to my great surprise that it was not lire.

Cleveland at all, at least not the Mrs. Cleveland whose face is so familiar. I thought at first I'd got the wrong package, but an examination of the direction and entries showed me I bad received what tbe sculptor had sent- 'It then occurred to me that he had shipped the wrong bust and kept Mrs. Cleveland on the shelf. So I wrote my Iriend in substance that the Cleyelands wouldn't Lave any use for that kind ofa bust, as it didn't-match the Test of the family.

I insisted he couldn't pslm off any of his' misfit statuary on Mrs. Cleveland, as she wao 'up in I told him-to send on the genuine article, and if it was up to sample, I'd see what I could do for him. In the course of the foreign mails there came a "long letter protesting tbat the bust was genuine, and must be all right, since it was copied from her which he in- closed, and which I have shown you. He finally, as if half doubting, begged me not to trifle with to tell him true Hf it was not really a likeness of our Sirs. 'I assured him that neither picture nor bust was that of Mrs.

Cleveland and sent him a photograph of the latter. Then came a wail from the slopes of the sunny land which wouM have made your heart ache. He had been given the picture by an American speaking book Italian whom he had met in a cafe at Naples. The obliging traveler had loaned him the photograph, and in a thoroughly disinterested and plausible manner iiad suggested that if -a copy ot it in marble were made and lady she might give him a £pbd round sum lor it. So he had spent his time and by no means commonplace artistic resources to set a satisfactory result, even down to such details as the figures in a brocaded dres-i, the links in a neckcbain and the medalion of a locke, as in the picture.

This latter, as. you have seen, is of a woman of about 35 summers, with a square but not unpleasant face, dark, wavy hair and a sort of 'Don't trouble expression. The card bore the imprintof a Cincinnati and I presume the original is floating around somewhere in that city of floods and soft-coal smoke. what am I to do! Find the woman, I suppose, and if she can afford it get her to buy the "There were many suggestions o0ered by those at the table with a view to satisfactorily meeting the situation. One said, 'Make a sworn statement.of the facts to the custon-house officials, the President and Mrs.

Cleveland will indorse it, for they know very well it isn't her bust. Then get your money back and look happy." The story, though" not told with the dialectic grace of J. Whitcomb KeUy, iior tbe drollery of Mark Twain, is nevertheless true, for the bust now Stands in the reception-room of Ricca- donna's restaurant in Xew York, where its excellence of execution is daily admired by countrymen of the artist. Ffcrmera' Institute in Wisconsin. Charles Dudley Warner In Harper's Magazine.

I Know of no other state where? a like system of popular instruction on a vital and universal interest of the state, directed by the highest educational authority, is BO perfectly organized and carried on with such unity of purpose and detail of administratipn: no other in which the farmer is brought systematically into such direct relations to the. university. In the current year there have been held eighty-two farmers' institutes in forty-rive counties. The list of practical topics discussed is 279, and in this service have been engaged 107 workers, 31 of whom are specialists from other states. This is an "agricultural college," on a crand scale, brought to the homes of the people.

The meetings are managed by local committees in such a as to evoke local pride, interest, and talent. I will mention some -of the tonics that were thoroughly discussed at one of the institutes: clover as a fertilizer; recuperative agriculture; bee-keeping; taking care of the little things about the house and farm; the education of farmers' danshters; the whole economy of sheep husbandry; egg production; pqnltrr; the value of thought and application in farming; horses to breed for the farm and market; breeding and management of swine; mixed iarming; grain raising; assessment and collection of taxes; does knowledge pay? (with lustrations of money made by knowledge of the market); breeding and care of cattle. with expert testimony as to best sorts of cows; points in corn culture; foil discussion of small fruit culture; butter-making as a fine art; dairy; 6ur country roads; education. So during the winter, every topic that concerns the well-being of the home, the profit of the farm, the moral welfare of the people and their prosperity, was intelligently discussed, with audiences folly awake to the valne of this practical and applied Some of the "best of these discussions are printed and widely distributed. Host of them are-full of wrse fleTails in the way of thrift and money-making, bat I am glad to see tbat.

the' uieetingi also consider the troth that as much eare be given to the rearing of hoys and girls as of calves and colts, and that brains are as necessary in farming as in any other occupation. -As these institutes are conducted, I do' jjot know anv influence comparable to Wem in waking tip the farmers to think, to inquire into and improved methods, and to see in what real prosperity consists. With as a rule, the farmer and his conservative, -keeping, churjfa-going, good citizens. The little appropriation of $12,000 has already returned to the state a. hundred-fold fi'nan- jcially and thousand-fold in general intelligence.

Our good old grandmothers knew for instance, that the opening of spring was the most perilous period of the year. Why? Because then the blood stream is sluggish and chilled by the cold weather, and if not thinned a good deal and made to flow quickly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossiule to havo good vigor the rest of the year.

May and June. It is a matter of record that this prudential, preventive and restorative custom saved many a sickness, prolonged life and happiness to a vigorous old age, and did away with heavy medical expenditures. Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, used Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla "for nervous tick headache of which I had been a sufferer for years. It has been a great benefit to me." Capt.

Hugh Harkina, 1114 South Fifteenth Street, Philadelphia, lays "it purified my blood and removed the blotches from my skin." Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton, Berks County, says she "was entirely cured of a skin disease of the worst kind," by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indicates a very bad condition of the blood.
