The Georgia Wonder Ruins the Elly’s
Dress.
Lulu Hurst is having a good deal of fun
at her entertainments at Wallack’s
Theatre, in Sew York. A foreign looking
gentleman, who had been tumbled about
the stage at a lively rate, undertook to ex
plain the power. He said:
“Ze peculiar influence,” 6aid he, “is—”
“That’s all right, Ben Butler,” cried a
bald-headed man, referring to the French
man’s organs of vision. “Cleveland’s
nominated.’’
Capt. Williams stuck his head out from
behind the scenes and grinned, and the
gallery caught sight of his Panama hat
instantly and roared so steadily that the
Frenchman’s speech became amusing!v
pantomimic. When the gallery calmed
down, and the Captain's magnificent
ebapeau disappeared, a tall, handsome
young man, with a graceful moustache,
stepped forward, braced bis lelt leg pic
turesquely on the carpet, and wiped the
cane with a silk handkerchief. He was
young Mr. Gordon, a relative of ex-Sena
tor Gordon, of Georgia.
“I’d like the young lady,” he said aloud,
“to place her hands on mine as 1 hold
this stick; then I can tell if her power is
muscular.”
“Who are you?” bawled a Mr. Thomp
son from the parquette. About one hun
dred men shouted. “Shut up!” with all
their might at Mr. Thompson, and Mr.
Gordon gazed at him.
“It makes no matter who 1 am.” he
said; if sbe exerts her musele, I’ll let you
know. That's what I want to find out.”
The wonder placed her palms on Gor
don’s clenched bands lightly for several
minutes. Mr. Gordon stood perfectly
still. Then the wonder gave him up.
“I 3ee nothing phenomenal,” said the
young man. “I iound no difficulty in hold
ing the cane perfectly rigid.”
“You’ve partly succeeded,” said
.Manager Atkinson. “I’d like you to try
again later on.”
But the handsome man got no further
opportunity, and after the Wonder had
refused to hold her bands over anybody
else’s again, many strong men were una
ble to prevent her forcing a chair down to
the floor against their combined resist
ance, or from holding it up when they
tried to carry it down. She laughed
repeatedly ran her fingers through her
big bang, and seemed to enjoy it hugely.
A stout man, who said he was a Dr, Mott,
threw bimself against a chair that the
wonder held her open salm under, and
fell down in the attempt to lorce it to the
carpet.
“If it were muscle I could easily have
discovered it,” he said, “for the carbonic
acid gas—”
“Oh, turn off the gas!” bawled the gal
lery gods, and the Doctor turned off' his
speech.
Prof. D. L. Dowd, a man with muscles
like steel, clinilied on the stage, in a gray
pepper-and-salt suit, and watched the
wonder. He has lilted 1,442 pounds of
iron with bis hands, and topped the
heavy-weight lifting record. He noticed
that while she pressed her open palms
against the sides of chairs, the mysteri
ous gyration and upsetting didos were
not performed until she sudJenly
placed the hall of her marvel
ously powerful thumb against
them. Then he went forward to test her,
and carried chairs to the floor in spite of
her resistance, defeated her efforts to
force a cue to the floor, and went over to
the Gilsey House and showed how he
could do it all himself by simple muscle.
“There is no mystery about the won
der," he said; “herpower is muscle strat
egetically used, but she is marvelously
strong.”
Then a chair was placed in front of the
foot Ii jlits. and. Miss Hurst standing be
hind it. placed her open hands on the
hack. It spun around, flew over her head
and struck on the stage behind her, brok
en so that it was useless.
Finally Ed. Gilmore, Mr. Mora, and
Charles Memtham pressed down on a
chair which Miss Hurst held up. It was
forced gradually to the floor. The curtain
went down aud it was shortly afterward
raised on an empty house.
Mrs. Langtry, in a dress of tbTn, white
material and wearing a sea green tinted
sunshade hat with green trimming,
stepped from her place of concealment.
She was gracious aud statelv with the
Georgia girl.
“Will you give me a mild test of your
power?” sue said sweetly, after a little
space.
“Yes,” said Miss Hurst’s manager,
“the gentlest test we know of.”
Mrs. Langtry held a chair with its back
her chest, “i am very strong,
you’ll find,’’ she said. The wonder put
her hands oyer Mrs. .Langtry’s, touch.ing
the chair with the tips of her tinge.rs.
The women looked into each other’s ey es
for an instant, and then there was a rusl’.
Mrs. Langtry was forced backward, ana’
before she had time to cry out she fell
against the lower upright in the balus
trade in the stairway leading up out of
the kitchen scene in “May Blossom.”
The column broke, aud Mrs. Langtry fell
to the floor. Half a dozen men, supposing
she was badly hurt, ran to her assistance.
Sbe was quickly on her feet again,however,
and when asked if she would like any
further test replied that she was satisfied.
Meeting a friend at the theatre ex it, on her
way home, she exhibited her to rn dress,
ripped across the back and on the right
sleeve.
“I’ve been with that girl just two
seconds,’’ she said laughing.
DISPUTED TKlUli rOKV .
The Controverav Between Texas anal the
Government.
Sews reached here to-day, says an Aus
tin special of the 10th inst., to the iSt.
Louis Republican , that the Commander of
the Department of Missouri, acting undr
orders from the Secretary of War, has
issued an order directing all settlers bo
leave the territory known as Green coua
ty, Texas. The Secretary, it is said,
bases his action upon the claim
set up by himself that Green county
does not belong to Texas, but is a
part of the Indian Territory, and acts
upon the authority of the United States
statute passed in 1832, giving the military
the right to remove intruders from the In
dian Reservation. A copy of the order
was received by Gov. Ireland this alter
noon, and he is astonished at its contents,
lie immediately wrote to President Ar
thur on the subject, taking issue with the
Federal authorities, and cites the fact that
the Seci etary of the Interior already de
cided that Green county is a part of "Tex
as. and calls attention to the President’s
message to Congress, taking a similar
view of the question.
If the order is carried into effect—and
from indications It will be—it will iresult
disastrously to hundreds of settlers who
located in the county during the past two
years on representations made by the
State of Texas. It is suspected that the
peremptory order of the Federal authori
ties is probably due to the fact that •cer
tain landmen and speculators are now
endeavoring to make a purchase of G'te
entire batch of land certificates issued to
veterans, which, under the laws of Texas,
can be located in Green county. Last
year the State appointed a commission to
act with one to be appointed by Congress
to settle the boundary line of the State,
and determine whether or not Green
county is a part of Texas, but thus far
nothing has been done by Congress.

To say that it created a sensation among
the traveling passenger agents expresses
it but feebly. Said one of these gentle
men:
“The distribution of printed matter for
connecting or foreign roads along the line
and at stations of roads all over the coun
try is one ot the courtesies that has long
existed, and has come to be recognized as
almost a necessity by all prosperous
roads. The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia has been one of the most aotive
in this respect, and its printed matter can
be/ound at stations of neAr all connect

road is inexplicable, as all business
secured by advertising matter will natu
rally go over that line until the connec
tion desired is reached. This is the onlv

such an order.”

Indianapolis, July 14.—Ex-Gov. Hen
dricks has written the following in re
sponse to the letter of Secretary Chandler:
„ _ „ Indianapolis, July 14, 1884.
/Ton. W. E. Chandler:
Sib—l find in the newspapers this morning
a letter to me from yourself, written yester
day and circulated' through the Associated
Press.
You comp’ain that I did you injustice in an
address to the people of this city made on the
evening before. In that address I urged that
“we need to have the books in the government
offices opened for an examination.” and as an
illustration I cited the case of a fraudu
lent vou< , her in one of the bureaus of
your department. and st.ted that
upon your testimony before the
sub-committee of the Senate it appears that
the frauds amounted to feii.cw, and is not
every word of that true? You were brought
before the committee and testified, as I stated.
You admitted under oath that the sum of
money lost amounted 'o PB.OO'I, but your de
fense was that the embezzlement did not
wholly occur under your administration, but
that part of it was under that of your prede
cessor. It seems to have covered the period
from June 3SB, 1880, down to Jan. 23, 1884.
Does that help your case? You were at the
head of the department a year and nine
months of that period, and vour predecessor
about one year and ten months.
CHANDLER’S RESPONSIBILITY.
He was in office at the payment of the first
false voucher on June 21, 1880. and up to April
17,1552. when you came in, and you continued
thence until the last false voucher was paid on
Jan. 2"'. 18*4. The period was almost equally
divided between yourself and your predeces
sor. How much of the $03,000 was paid out
under yourself and how much under your
predecessor, your letter does not show; but,
sir. upon the question that I was
discussing, does it make any
difference who was Secretary when the false
vouchers were paid? I urged that in a case
like this, when frauds are concerted in the
vaults or in the books of a department, the
only remedy of the people is a change of
control, so that the books and vouchers shall
come under the examination of new and dis
interested men.
NOT ANSWERED HY EVASION.
Do you think that I am answered when you
say that I was mistaken in supposing that in
this case the frauds were all under vour -ad
ministration, when in fact part of them ex
tended hack into that of your predecessor.
Why, sir, that makes your case worse, for the
Bureau of Medicine' and Surgery defal
falcation is large, hut a more serious
fact is that it could and did extend through
two administrations of the department, a
period of nearly four years.without detection.
But it becomes more serious as you are indi
vidually concerned when the fact is consid
ered that vou had notice and took no sufficient
action. The information upon which I spoke
was from Washington on June 2(1 by Asso
ciated Press, the same that brings me your
letter. The Associated Press obtained its in
formation either in your department or from
the investigating committee. If you were
not correctly reported that, was the time for
complaint and the correction.
THE DEFALCATION.
You testified that the total of the suspicious
vouchers discovered so far was about $63,000,
and that the money fraudulently obtained
was in some instances divided between a
watchman in the department, Carrigan, the
chief clerk, and Kirkwood, in charge of the
accounts. Now, what notice had you? Ac
cording to the Associated Press report
of your testimony, vou received a let
ter last year charging Carrigan, one
of the parties, with drunkenness, and after
that a man came to you and told you that
Kirkwood and Carrigan were engaged in
frauds. Did not that put you u|K>n notice
aud investigation? You testified that some
inquirv was made, and the conclusion was
that while there were some suspicious circum
stances they did not warrant the conclusion
of guilt. After notice, verbal and in writing,
you left the men in office. You did not bring
the fraims to light nor the guilty parties to
punishment. It was a government detective,
Wood, who discovered the frauds, and the
Associated Press report says that Wood de
clared that he would have no further dealings
with your departmeut, but would press an in
vestigation before Congress. What is your
next excuse?
A WORSE EXCUSE THAN ALL.
Worse, if possible, than all before. You
say that a large number of Congressmen,
including some gentlemen of great Influence
and position, recommended that the head of
the bureau. Dr. Wales, should he reappointed.
The members of Congress knew nothing of the
frauds. They had no opportunity to know. It
was with n your reach and duty.' They were
p’obabljr his personal friends. You were his
official superior, but did you reappoint him?
I understand not. Perhaps the
detective discovered the frauds too soon.
Hut Dr. Wales was not one of the three guilty
parties. He nether forged vouchers nor em
bezzled money. His responsibility in the case
is iust the same as your own. lie was the
official superior of the three rogues
as yon were of himself as well
as of them. Neither liim nor yourself
exposed the frauds nor punished the parties.
I have not thought of nor Considered this as a
case of politics. Addressing my neighbors I
said this, and admonish them to demand
civil service reform in the removal of all from
office who were not seen to promote it within
the sphere of their official duty and author
ity. Respectfully, T. M. Hun pricks.
A NEGRO POISONS TWO HOYS.
Ills Crime Divulged by a Woman, and
He Falls Victim to Lynchers.
New Orleans, July 14. —A dispatch
from Starkville, Miss., says: “In October,
1882, B. J. Parish’s two boys, aged 12 and
14 years, died suddenly. It now turns
out that they were poisoned by a negro
named Newton Carpenter, living with
Parish at the time, who put poison in
water which the boys drank. Carpenter
confided the matter to a colored woman,
who a few days ago told Parish
what sbe knew about the death
of his boys. Carpenter was arrested.
He said" that he got the poison
from a negro doctor, Ned Mack, a notori
ous character, and Mack was also ar
rested. |A posse of half a dozen men
took them in charge and started for the
jail, but when about seven miles irom
here the prisoners were seized by a party
of disguised men and lynched. Carpenter
said that it was his intention at the time
to poison the whole family. He said that
he was glad the matter had come to light,
as he had not had a sound night’s s.eep
since he committed the crime.”

trating his work in New York.
BCTLER'S COURSE IN DOUBT.
New Tork, Julv 14.—Gen. Butler just
before leaving for Washington to-day said
to a reporter that he had not yet made up
his mind whether to support the Demo- 1
cratic ticket nominated at Chicago. He
was equally uncertain as to whether he
would accept the Greenback and Anti-
Monopoly nominations which had been
tendered him. He denied emphatically,
however, that he had yet accepted either.
Views of the London “Times.”
London, July 14.—The Times this
morning, in an article upon the Republi
can and Democratic nominees for the
I’residency, says: “The platforms con
cocted by "the Republican and Democratic
Conventions are both equally unworthy of
respect. They are distinguished by an
absence of clear convictions, by evasions
and trimmings, by servile rivalry in flatter
ing the masses and in pandering to popu
lar prejudices, thus encouraging some of
the most pernicious doctrines of modern
demagogues and social quacks.”

with his head almost severed from his
body, it merely hanging on by a piece of
skin. Loaflin Martin fell with a pistol

while Zariah Taylor, aged 18 years, was
putting a rod in a reel at the Cambria

was thrown out over his head and drawn
tightly around his neck, almost decapi
tating him and literally roasting his neck
and shoulders. Thomas O’Neill, another
workman, sprang to Taylor’s help, and
with his bare hands untwisted the rod.
Taylor’s injuries will prove fatal. O’Neill
wa9 also badly burned.”

CLEVELAND AT HOME.
What is Thought of Him at the Capital
of New York.
Personally the Governor is liked very
much in Albdny. Whenever he is spoken
of it is with great favor and respect. He
is not often seen on the streets, and he
rarely appears in any public assemblage,
but whenever one does meet him and
speaks to him he Is sure of a kindly greet
ing—one that is remembered because of
the hold that a noble, simple nature
always takes upon the heart. The gath
ering at the Executive Mansion Friday
evening was the result of a spontaneous
outburst of sincere gladness and satisfac
tion among the thousands who have
learned to admire the Governor for the
good qualities with which thev have be
come acquainted. People say he is a man
ot destiny. That idea is expressed on
every hand, and it is also in many of the
congratulatory messages that have been
sent him from a distance. On every side
there is found a settled conviction that he
will be the next President, because he is
the man to right the existing wrongs of
the General Government.
Col. Lamont, the Governor’s private
secretary, had hardly been seated in his
office Saturday morning when an old gen
tleman who had not been able to attend
the meeting called Friday evening to cele
brate the nomination, came in for the
purpose of expressing his joy. “I do
wonder,” said he, “if I am going to live
to see a Democratic President elected. It
is the first time I have had any confidence
since the war.” He went away with a
face all beaming with smiles.
The Governor walked over to the Capi
tol as usual Saturday morning about 9:30
o’clock, and went at once to his desk in
the main Executive room. He seemed to
be as calm and self-possessed as if the
most extraordinary event of his life bad
not occurred the day before. He is cer
tainly a fine-looking man—erect, with
broad shoulders, a mighty chest, a head
and neck that rise up like a column of
granite and a face of rugged power. It is
not a serene face, not one full of unreas
ing, conscienceless ambition, such as
Napoleon bad, but one of dauntless cour
age and unflagging perseverance, tem
pered with benignity and the softer traits
of humanity.
A mass of telegrams and letters were
lying upon his desk. Part of these he
opened himself and part of them he
handed over to his Secretary, Col. La
ment. When asked for permission to
publish some of them m the World he
said:
“Oh, well, Ido not think 1 ought to al
low many of these names to go out, for a
large share of them are from Republicans,
who might be in some way embarrassed
at having sent congratulations to a Demo
cratic candidate.”
POISON IN TOMATO CANS.
Suit Against a Canning Finn to Re
cover $50,000 Damages.
Miss Theodora Kolyer, aged 22 years,
living at 33 Clermont avenue, Brooklyn,
says the New York World, has entered
suit for $50,000 against the firm of Thur
ber, Whyland & Cos., of this city, for hav
ing, as alleged, injured her health. She
ate some tomatoes canned by that firm,
which, she alleges, contained deleterious
substances, the vegetable having been
sold by defendants lor a pure article.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants
sold to Nicholas Ahrens, a grocer, canned
tomatoes labeled as being of superior
quality. Relying upon the accuracy of
the representation thus made by the de
fendants, plaintiff’s lather purchased the
tomatoes from him. After eating them,
plaintiff became so ill that her life was
despaired of, and her health has been per
manently injured. Plaintiff also alleges
that in the soldering of the tomato cans
muriate of zinc, flux and other poisonous
substances were used, and that the toma
toes were an inferior article, and that the
defendants knew when they caused the
cans to be labeled that they had been sol
dered with poisonous substances.
This suit is based on the result of the
examination made by the Health Depart
ment through Dr. Bartley, whose report
states that the symptoms were those
which would arise from poisoning by mu
riate of zinc, which is used in soldering.
Eight other similar suits are awaiting the
result ot this action.
A SACKFUL OF DOLLARS.
How a Defendant Got Even With an
Obstinate Lawyer.
Avery amusing incident happened in
court last week, says the Henderson, Ky.,
Journal. Mr. Nick Becker had purchased
a certain piece of ground and executed
his notes for the same. Later on and be
fore the last note had become due it was
discovered that the survey did not hold
out by quite a number of feet, and, there
fore, Ale. Becker declined to settle unless
a be made for the loss of land.
Suit instituted, and last week judg
ment was given for the amount of the
note, less so much for the loss of land.
Air. Becker seemed satisfied, and so soon
as he heard the decision of the court ap
proached the attorney for tbe plaintiff and
proposed to give him a check in full set
tlement. The attorney declined the check
and was asked what he wanted. “Gold,
sliver or greenbacks,” was the reply.
“Very good,” ejaculated Air. Becker, “you
shall "have it.” And out of the court
room he weut. Soon thereafter he re
turned with a man he had hired, and up
on whose back was a great sack, in which
was deposited 875 new silver dollars, 10
and 5 cents in silver and one copper, mak
ing in all $875 16, the amount of the judg
ment. He had tbe sack laid at the feet of
the attorney, and enjoyed it more than the
one who had to see it deposited in bank.
MOVING IN BOSTON.
The Resinning of a Practical Reorgani
zation of Parties.
The Boston Herald of the 11th inst. says:
In nominating Gov. Cleveland for Presi
dent, the Democratic party has displayed
the wisdom of its opportunity, as the'Re
publican party, in nominating Air. Blaine,
maniffested the audacity of its desires.
There are corrupt and dangerous elements
in both parties. In the Republican party
they have at last prevailed. In the Demo
cratic party they have been beaten down.
The Republican party is led by its tail,
the Democratic party by its head. With
a reform candidate nominated by the
Democratic party solely because he is
and has always been a reformer and is
acceptable to the reform voters, it looks
like the beginning of a practical reorgani
zation of parties. It certainlv looks like
the beginning of the end ot the Republi
can party as at present organized and led.
On the whole, a change is desirable. AVe
take it as reasonably certain that Gov.
Cleveland will be elected. The independ
ent voters will all support him. The re
volted Republicans have named him as the
one Democrat for whom they could vote.
If his own party does not support him
loyally, it will be evidence that its time
has come to die. The Democracy at last
deserves success.
CHOLERA NOT DYING OUT.
A Russian Town Invaded bp tbe Dread
DWease.
Marseilles, July 14.—There were 32
deaths from cholera here last night, and
4 since 9 o’clock this morning.
There were 66 death from cholera in this
eity during the 24 hours ending at 9 o’clock
this evening.
SHOT IN THE PYRENNK3.
London, Julyl4.—A Frenchman was
shot to-day by guards in the Spanish Py
renees while trying to evade quarantine.
RUSSIA INVADED.
St. Petersburg, July 14.—There have
been two cases of cholera at Paltavia, one
of which resulted fatally. Tbe Siberian
plague is raging at Pskov. Twenty deaths
have already occurred, and precautionary
measures seem inadequate to prevent the
spread of the disease.
INTENSE HEAT AT TOULON.
Toulon. J ulv 14.—The number of deaths
in this city from cholera last night was
11. The heat is intense. The streets are
entir?ly deserted. Al? cholera patients
who were in the city hospitals have been
removed to tbe suburbs.
The Mayor of this city has been at
tacked with cholera. An order has been
issued forbidding an illumination in
honor of the national fete.
prance brought out by fumigation.
Alexandria, July 14.—A conflict has
arisen here between tbe Egyptian customs
officials and the French agent. The
Egyptian officers, in fumigating mails to
guard against cholera, discovered and
seized a quantity of contraband valua
bles. The French agent protested against
this interference with the mails, and
hence the trouble.
FKELINGnUYSKN’S PRECAUTIONS.
Washington, July 14.—Secretary Fre
linghusen to-day instructed by cable the
consular officers at London, Liverpool,
Marseilles, Havre, Bordeaux, Bremen
and Hamburg to at once appoint compe
tent physicians to inspect all vessels and
passengers departing for the United States
from ports mentioned. The consular offi
cers referred to are instructed to refuse
clean Dills of health in all cases except
upon the recommendation of the sani
tary inspector that such bills be
given. The Consuls are instructed to
report by cable any case of infectious or
contagious disease known to exist on
board any vessel at the time of her depar
ture for the United States. This course
is adopted in order that the health officers
in our ports may have timely warning of
approaching danger and be prepared to
take such measures as shall prevent the
scourge from gaining a foothold in this
country.
THE CHOLERA PANIC.
Parisians Getting Ready to Move at the
First, Appearance of the Plague In
that City.
It is estimated, says a World cable
gram, that 120,000 people have left Mar
seilles since the outbreak of cholera
there, and the distress consequent upon
such an abnormal exodus from that city
and Toulon, particularly in the outlying
districts, which depended almost solely
for existence on their urban trade, is piti
ful. It is now feared that a similar panic
in Paris is imminent, many of the wealth
ier families having already made arrange
ments to depart at the first sign of the
disease.
Many prominent newspapers in Germa
ny are urging the government to recall
Dr. Koch so that he may be at hand to ad
vise his own people in the hour of peril.
Dr. Koch remains firm in his already ex
pressed opinion that the cholera scourge
must spread throughout Europe. It has
taken so firm a hold in such large centres
of communication as Marseilles and Tou
lon that he believes it must run its course
during the summer throughout contin
ental Europe. He says that America, it
great vigilance is exercised in quarantine
precautions, will probably escape, but
holds out no hope for countries insulated
simply by technical frontier lines.
In England great uneasiness is begin
ning to manifest itself in the large cities
because of the negligence of the authori
ties in taking necessary precautionary
measures against the introduction of the
plague. It is urged by prominent physi
cians and other scientists that the confi
dence resulting from England’s insular
position is misplaced, and that without
the most perfect sanitary inspection some
incoming vessels from a Mediterranean
port will slip in and bring cholera, with
all its attendant horrors.
CHOLERA HELPING TRADE.
New York Drue Men Profiting l>y the
Scourge.
A New Yoyk letter to tbe Philadelphia
Ledger says: The cholera in France has
stimulated the demand even in this mar
ket, for a numerous class of drugs and
disinfectants that are used in the treat
ment of it, and prices have sharply ad
vanced in consequence. Since this day
week opium has gone up 25 cents a pound,
and sulphate of morphine 20 cents; oil
peppermint is also in demand for export
to France at higher prices; camphor is
also in brisk request, and dealers antici
pate an advance; chloride of lime iß<up
25 cents per 100 pounds, and large pur
chases are reported in tbe English market
for continental account; carbolic acid
crystals have advanced from 25 to 35
cents per pound. Tbe principal manufac
turer in this country has just received an
order from the New York Board of Health
which will absorb at least the total pro
duction of a fortnight.
It may be stated in this connection that
the Health. Department this morning se
cured a lease of the premises 149 to 156
Worth street, for the purpose of manu
facturing disinfecting fluids. The depart
ment has also purchased eight new tank
wagons for the transportation of disin
fecting material to different parts of the
city. These works will have a capacity
for furnishing, if need be, 5,000 gallons
disinfectants per diem. In future all
complaints received by the Health De
partment, as to nuisances in yards, streets,
sewers or out-houses, are to be sent to this
place, and a route for each wagon is pre
scribed by the Superintendent. This looks
like business in the right direction and at
the right time.
EXPENSIVE PANTOMIME.
The Young Man Who is Fond of Flirt
ing Meets With a Mournful Experi
ence.
I know a young man who is just a trifle
fond of flirting, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. He has that sympathetic and
altogether charitable notion that a great
many young men have, that any lady
who sits alone by the window watching
the passers-by must inevitably be lonely
and pine for masculine attention. Several
mornings as he came down town he saw
what he took to be a wistful face
at a bay window looking longingly in
the distance. He first Itecame curious,
then interested, and finally excited. The
lone, lone female should not pine in
vain or waste her young life in loneliness
it he could help it. He gradually worked
up a smile for her, growing broader and
broader, until it assumed the proportions
of a grin. He thought she appreciated it,
and he kept it up. “Ah, me! ’tis sweet to
know there is an eye that watches for our
coming and grows brighter when we
come/’ At last he mustered courage to
add a low bow to the smile. She did not
show any displeasure. The other morn
ing he came along smiling so broadly that
he could be seen two blocks off. She
was at the window. He raised his hat,
and just as he did she rose, disappeared
for a moment and then returned with a
gentleman in his shirt sleeves, to whom
she pointed in a significant manner, and
a baby which she held up to him in the
most kindly and expressive way. The
young man goes down the next street in
the mornings now.

that a band of roughs tore another on the
Boulevard Haussellaun.

The Marquis of Salisbury maintains bis
position that there should be no franchise

Parliamentary seats.

there is threatened with annihilation by
drought. Sheepmen with flocks are ar

IVOLSEY’S PORTRAITS.
No Authority for the Idea that the
Cardinal Had but One Eye.
1 here are very few portraits of Cardinal
Wolsey, yet a great deal has been said
and written about them, says Motes and
Queries. What all this amounts to may
be chiefly summed up in a few short state
ments. 1. There is said to be no head of
Wolsey which is not in profile. 2. It is
said that his portraits were done in pro
file because he had only one eye. 3. The
loss of his eye was caused by an infamous
disease of an infectious character, afford
ing additional evidence of the depravity
of his nature. It has, however, been
shown that there is at least one full-faced
portrait of Wolsey, which, though small,
is of some authority and considerable in
terest; it is a drawing of the House of
Lords, taken by order of Thomas
Wriotbesley, Garter King-at-Arms, and
shows Wolsey with both eyes on the right
hand of the King, and is reproduced by
Fiddes. Anstis believed that, this draw
ing represented the Parliament held at
Blackfriars on April 15,1524, and remarks
that if there was any truth in the story
that Wolsey lost an eye it must have been
subsequently to that year. It has, how
ever been pointed out that though tbe
portraits generally show only one eye.
yet sometimes it is the right eye, and
sometimes the left, and tbisseems to prove
that the profile portraits were not the re
sult of a lost eye. The assertion that
Wolsey lost one eye, though by many
writers very confidently put forward, ap
pears really to rest on no evidence but, in
fact, only on the very scurrilous lines of
Skelton, who bitterly hated Wolsey, and
said that he wore a patch over his" right
eye, and would probably lose it. If it is
true that he did so lose an eye, it must
have been late in life, and subsequently
to the time when the portraits were
taken. In Cavendish’s “Life of
Wolsey,” edited by Singer in
1825, there are three drawings, respecting
which a little more information is de
sirable. They purport to be illustrations
copied from a manuscript of the “Life”
belonging to Francis Douce and bearing
date as “copied by S. 8., 1578.” Two of
these (“Wolsey and tbe Two Dukes De
manding the Great Seal from Him in 1529”
and “Wolsey 111 in Bed and Dr. Butts
Coming to Him with a Message from the
King,” in the same year) distinctly show
Wolsey with two eyes and no patch. If
these drawings are old they have some
kind*of authority, while if thev are
modern it seems natural to ask," Wbv
were they so drawn? And there is vet
another point worthy of remark in both
these drawings, and also in the third,
“Wolsey in Procession,” and clearlvshow
ing bis right eye. The Cardinal has a
good beard. His early portraits all show
a very smooth chin. Is there anything to
show that late in life he appeared beard
ed? No doubt there were thousands in
his lifetime who hated Wolsey, though
probably but few who dared to speak
against him: but after his fall, and still
more after his death, all that men knew,
and also wbat they suspected, might be
freely said, and it is hard to believe, if the
evil charged against him was true, that
there should have been no one to take up
Skelton’s accusation and show that there
was a sound foundation for bis scandal.
KIDNAPPED BY THE GOVERN
MENT.
Th Manner In Which Mexico Got Rid
of an Editor who Worried the Rulers.
Among the first of the passengers to
spring on the gangplank leading from the
steamer City of Washington from Havana,
says the New York Sun, was a tall,
athletic young man, with a sun-burned
face, a light brown moustache and large
hazel eyes. He was dressed neatly, and
wore a jaunty straw hat. He carried a
square valise, from the top of which a
sombrero swung. He was P. Marc Sau
valle, chief editor of the Trait d> Union ,
and he is here because the Mexican Gov-
ernment compelled him to leave Mexico.
He is a native of Havre, and lived there
until sixteen months ago, when he went
to Mexico to assumo control of tbe Trait
d’ Union. His work progressed smoothly
until June 18, a month after the Mexican
Government entered into negotiations
with u French syndicate for a loan of
$30,000,000. As there wore good prospects
that the loan would be effected, the Na
tional Bank of Mexico agreed to loan the
government $30,000 five days In every
week and sloo.oooevery Saturday {lending
the negotiations. He published "an article
asking what was done with this mousy,
and asserting that it was not expended
in the interests of the tax payers.
On the 19th of June a second article
appeared. It charged that when the
money left the bank und passed into the
hands of the government nothing moro<
was ever heard of it. On tbe following
day Mr. Sauvalle crowned his charges by
iutimating that the money was used for
the personal uses of high government offi
cials. On June 21 the Dinrio Official, an
organ published in the interests of the
government, denounced Mr. Sauvalle’s
articles as incorrect and tending to excite
a sentiment prejudicial to the govern
ment. When Mr. Sauvalle reached his
office on the following day he was told
that a gentleman had called, and had ex
pressed much anxiety to see him. At 7
o’clock that evening tbe gentleman met
Mr. Sauvalle in the latter’s office.
“I am a warm and sincere friend of
yours,” said the man, “and I come to tell
you that you had better get right out of
Mexico.”
“Well,” replied Mr. Sauvalle, who had
noticed two other men lounging near by,
“you may he a friend of mine, but 1 don’t
know you.”
One of the other men then stepped up,
and Mr. Sauvalle proposed beer as a
pleasant way of getting out of any im
pending trouble. They adjourned to a
cafe, and, after the beer had been dis
posed of, the man who said he was Mr.
Sauvalle’s friend informed him that he
was under arrest. On being asked to
show their authority, they produced a
a legal-looking dooument, which they
would not permit Mr. Sauvalle to read.
He was then hurried to the barracks,
where he was locked up, and where he
was told he would have to remain pending
the action of the Secretary of War. He
was detained in this place five hours, and
was then placed on board a train, and,
under the escort of two guards, was sent
to Vera Cruz. He was detained in Vera
Cruz one day. during which he occupied a
little celljin the fort of San Juan d’Ulloa.
The next day he was taken to the coast
and placed in a small boat, which con
veyed him to a man-of-ivar. He was held
there nearly twenty-five hours, and was
then put on board the City of Washington,
which had left Vera Cruz and was on her
way to Havana.
“When I left the lort at Vera Cruz,”
said Mr. Sauvalle, “a military passport
was given to me, but the agents of tbe
Alexandre line refused to recognize it
because I was compelled to leave the
country, and so I had to pay my fare.”
“How long do you intend remaining
here.”
“Until December. Mexico will have a
new President then, and I will go back
there. My paper is still being published.”
A PAKISTAN TRAGEDY.
A Brutal Crime ami a Discovery that
Smacks of Monsieur Lecocq.
The details of a singular and horrible
tragedy which happened very recently in
Paris, says the Paris Morning News, have
just begun, by the merest chance, to
emerge from the mystery which has envel
oped them. In the early part of May the
trunk of a human body was taken from
the waters of the Seine near the bridge
Marie, and on the following day the head
and limbs, which evidently had belonged
to it, were found near the Pont Neuf. At
tirst it was supposed that the corpse bad
been thus mutilated by collision with the
prows of the steamboats plying up and
down the river. A surgical inquest,how
ever, established the fact that the (rag
inents found were the fearful revelation
of a crime. The police then began to
search for elues, and, aided by unhoped
for circumstances, have got at last upon
the tracj of the truth.
A cafe waiter named iliel, living at No.
23 Hue de Lvon, suddenly disappeared on
the 28th of April last. The evening before
a strange incident occurred at his
lodgings. Miel was already noted for his
evil ways. He had taken breakfast in
company with another man. After the
repast cries for help were heard issuiug
from his windows, followed by plaintive
screams.
A neighbor—for the whole house was
agitated by the sounds—knocked at Miel’s
door and asked what was the matter.
Without opening, Miel simply responded
that he was quarreling with his mistress
An hour alterwards he descended and
told the concierge that he hjjd a friend in
his apartment who had tried to throw
himself out of the window and that he had
restrained him with great difficulty.
These facts drew the attention of the
police, but were supplemented by an
other one which threw an entirely differ
ent light upon the affair. A dog was
noticed howling about the shore of the
Seine, near the Pont Neuf. It was learned
that the little animal belonged to one
Francois Lebon, a shopkeeper in the Rue
des Juifs, No. 11. and that the latter had
disappeared from his home precisely on
April 28.
The police also established that on the
evening of this day Miel had caused to be
removed from his lodgings two chests
filled with somothing that weighed heavily,
and that they might easily have contained
a corpse cut up as that had been which
was found in the Seine. The outline of
the crime was thuS complete. A search
at Lebon’s apartment left no doubt as to
its motive. The money and securities
which had belonged to him had been
stolen.
THE GOVERNOR’S BIRTHPLACE.
His Father’* Old House Now Occupied
by an Advocate of Blaine.
. The Rev. R. C. Berry is now pastor of
the Presbyterian church in Caldwell, Es
sex county, N. J., in which Grover Cleve
land’s father officiated at the time of the
Governor’s birth. He lives in the old par
sonage. He is a Blaine advocate, and a
picture of Blaine stands in the room in
which the Governor was born. The house
sits back from the road 100 feet. Two
noble ash trees stand as sentinels in front
of it. The house itself is a 2%-story
building, with a front porch and low win
dows, and the whole place savors of an
tiquity.
“It was claimed,” said the Rev. Mr.
Berry, “that the Governor was not born
here, but at the other end of the town, but
that is not so. When the Clevelands lived
here there were only seven rooms in the
house. Four more have since been added.
The old place has been sketched for an
illustrated paper, and I suppose it will
now become quite famous.”
Marcus Harrison, an old resident, said
that he remembered when Parson Cleve
land lived down in the old parsonage. “It
would be impossible,” he added, “to keep
account of his children. Young Grover,
as we called him, was then just toddling
around in frocks. He was named after
Stephen Grover, the predecessor of his
father in the pastorate of the church.”
As intimated by Dr. Berry’s remarks,
there is quite a rivalry between the resi
dents of the two ends of the village over
the birthplace of the Governor. An old
house that stands on the other side of the
town is pointed out by some of those re
siding near it as his birthplace, but there
is no doubt that the parsonage the Rev.
Mr. Berry occupies is entitled to the
honor.
