MORE MYSTERY TH VV EVER.
IStfangr Story of the Young Woman at
Bellevue—Wrecked Off Spain When a
Child—Her Unhappy Marriage—Driven
from Her Bast Besting Place.
ATew York Time*, Aug li.
The young woman who was 'taken to
Bellevue Hospital Monday night, appa
rently under the Influence of laudanum,
and who jtersistently refused to give either
her name or her history to the public, told
a remarkable story to a lady who visited
her at her bedside. She said that when
she was an infant but three months old a
ship in which her parents, with herself
and two brothers, had taken passage
was wrecked in a violent storm
off the coast of Spain.. She has
since been told that she was picked
up on the beach by some fishermen and
taken care of in their cottage* Her pa
rents, supposing her to be drowned, con
tinued their journey without her. Some
days afterward the fishermen were in
formed that a lady in a neighboring vil
lage was looking for a baby which she
hat: lost on the ship. When the lady saw
the infant found by the fishermen she de
clared that it was not her own, but never
theless she desirtd to adopt it and bring
it up in the place of her lost little one.
The husband of this lady was compelled
to tra el a great deal in government em
ploy, and was withal an enthusiastic
geologist. He took his adopted child with
him a great deal on his journeyings, and
in her-early days she saw considerable of
the world. She was educated in Germany
and in England. Uer adopted father died,
and soon afterward her adopted mother
went to South America for her health.
All this time the girl never knew but
what the people who had brought her up
so kindly were her real parents. In South
America she met a rich young tea mer
chant, anti the two fell in love. After a
proper courtship they were married, and
went to live on one" of his plantations.
The girl wac then but little over 18 years
old. From her youth she had been ac
customed to luxury, and her husuand
humored her every wish.
The first Chiistmas after their marriage
there was a party at the house. The
husband’s mother was there. During the
evening, while taking with her new
daughter, she noticed a peculiar mark on
the palm of the right hand. It looked as
though a needle cr something similar had
been run clean through the centre of the
hand and the skin cut away on both sides
to extricate it. When the mother saw
the mark she became greatly agitated and
asked her son’s wife in "a tone which
attracted the attention of nearly all in
the room:
“Is that lady with you your real
mother V”
The young wife answered that she had
always been brought up to suppose that
she lived with her real parents, but she
had recently been told that she was only
adopted. Inquiries and explanations re
vealed that the baby who was picked up
on the Spanish shore by fishermen 18
years before had, after years of wander
ing, unknowingly fallen in love with her
own brother and married him. The young
couple were very much devoted to each
other, and the terrible revelation came
with cruel effect to both of them. If the
story told by the young woman is true,
she was not long in making up her mind
what to do. She resolved hot to pass an
other night under her husband and
brother's root. She had but little money,
but she took all her jewels and engaged
passage on an out-going steamer for the
United States. Her maid came to the
wharf with her. and saw the vessel sail
down the harltor at early dawn. From
that time to this she had" not written a
line to her relatives nor had she heard
/rom ‘hem.
'fWugh the young woman absolutely
,-.- 4 vs her name to the people in
declined to fe. - the lady to
the hospital, she that it was
whom she told this s, arrived
Pauline Esperanza Bolonda.
in this city July 7 last, and learning .
some friends whom she had met in Mexi
co were going to Europe on an early
steamer, she wrote to them, asking per
mission to go with them. In response to
her letter she got this telegram, which
was found pinned inside her bodice when
she was undressed in the hospital on
Monday night:
Go to the Fifth Avenue Hotel immediately
and tell Mr. Hayes to wait for me.
Julius Skilton.
She said that her friends had been stop
ping at So. 112 Frankfort street, Trenton,
but they were by this time far out at sea.
She claimed, furthermore, that for the
past month she had been living as com
panion with a young married • lady in
Twenty-third street, whom she had met in
Mexico. She told the name of the lads-’®
husband, specified his business an( j ga
now long she had bo*- y iving in ~ t ’ he hoU se.
k ‘ l,r *“ er confirmation of her story she
her under linen, which was mark
ed with the name of the lady she gave.
The person to whom the young woman
told this sad story hardly credited it at
first, and yet the "narrator’s manner was
so earnest and simple, there was so much
in her appearance to confirm what she
said, that it seemed to have at least an
element of truth. The young woman was
not pretty, but 6he had" an intelligent, at
tractive face and a winning manner. She
spoke English very well, Spanish fluently,
and French and Herman so as to be easily
understood in conversation. Her clothes
were not such as a companion to a lady
would wear in the street. Still, she had
on a costly bracelet and a nice pair of kid
gloves. She was evidently well read, and
talked about music to the little daughter
Of the matron in a way which showed that
she was familiar with" at least the princi
pies of it.
The .saddest part of her sad story she
told reluctantly and with tears. She said
that while she was in her friend’s house a
gentleman in the lamily (she would not
sav whom) took unfair advantage of her.
It was this that drove her into the street.
She said she did not intend to commit sui
cide. She wandered around the streets
all the afternoon, faint and tired, and
tow ard night found herself in Fifth ave
nue, in front of the Windsor Hotel. She
fainted away and remembered nothing
more until she was taken to Bellevue
Hospital. She was determined not to ex
pose her name, disgrace her family, and
bring the man who had wronged her to
ruin. As soon as she could she meant to
go to France, where a small iucome from
her adopted father’s property awaited her.
When the girl was taken to the hospital
she was put in the basement cells usually
occupied by women suffering from alco
holism. It was feared that she might at
tempt suicide again if placed in one of the
wards too high above ground. Tuesday
morning she remained in bed, but did not
appear to be suffering from any ailment—
certainly not like a person who had taken
poison. She claimed at the hospital that
she was a widow.
A rimes reporter asked Mrs. Morrissey,
the matron in charge of the cells for fe
males, if Mrs. Bolonda had intimated to
her any of the story related above. “Yes,”
said Mrs. Morrissey, “she did tell me
something of her past history, and if her
story is true (as 1 believe now it is) her
life Is a very pitiful one. She was cer
tainly a very lady-like person. She was
taken away "from here soon after break
fast to 6ome police court, but she came
back again this afternoon and told me
that the Judge discharged her at once. I
gave her money to go and get her trunk,
which she said was in the station checked
for Trenton, and enough to get her a
night’s lodging. She said that she was
going to pawn her bracelet, and endeavor
to get enough to pay steerage passage to
Europe. I do not know where she has
gone. I was surprised to hear when I
came on duty Tuesday morning that she
bad attempted to commit suicide. She
did not look so to me, and she told me
that she never had any intention of doing
SO.”
A policeman called at the hospital for
the young woman yesterday morning.
She was surprised to learn that she had
committed a penal offense, and was at
first reluctant to go with him. “Well,”
she said at last, “if it Is the law of your
country, I suppose I must go, but I am
so sorry to leave you here,” turning to the
matron, “you haft e shown me so much
kindness.” Mrs. Bolonda gave Justice
Duffy, in the Yorkville Police Court, the
same fictitious name which she gave at
the hospital—Paula Esperanza. She said
that she had been educated iu England,
but had friends in Lima, Peru. The po
liceman said she was arraigned simply
because so much prominence had been
given the case. The woman told the court
that she was subject to hysteria, and dis
claimed all intention of suicide. She was
discharged from custody.
The lady whom the young woman
claimed she had served as a companion
disowned all knowledge of her, or of ever
hiring a companion answering her de
scription. She was the wife of a gentle
man of undoubted respectability, whose
word could not be disputed. The lady as
sured the Times reporter that Mrs. Bolon
da had never been inside her doors, nor
had she ever seen her. Still, it was evi
dent that the woman knew something of
her history and associates. The lady had
traveled In the South, in Mexico, and in
England, but had no recollection of meet
ing the person who claimed so undesirable
an acquaintanceship. The lady was ex
ceedingly distressed at what had occur
red. She called her aunt, who was stop
ping in the house with her, to explain the
marked underclothing.
“I am very well known in charitable
work in this city,” said the aunt, “and a
short time ago 1 gave away considerable
of my niece’s underclothing to some poor
people. 1 can account for this girl’s pos
session of it in no other way than that
these people sold it to her. I know that
the poor oiten do such things with gar
ments given them. 1 was walking on the
street only the other day with the wife of
a prominent Judge in this city, when we
saw a woman ahead of us wearing a ging
ham dress of peculiar pattern.”
“That dress is mine, I am sure of it by
the buttons,” said my companion, and
before I knew what 6he was going to do
she had stopped the woman and asked
hey: “Where did you get that dress?”
“The woman was surprised, and at first
inclined to be insolent. ‘I meant no of
fense,’. said the lady, ‘but the dress was
mine, and I gave it to my washerwoman
last week.’ ”
“Ob, £ll right,” was the reply. “I don’t
know anything about it. I bought it from
a neighbor for 50 cents.”
“I could tell you of several ouch instan
ces. When a man gives away a coat he
cannot tell on whose back he will next see
it. Sometimes these poor people sell to
the second-hand dealers. I cun only ac
count for this young woman’s getting pos
session of my niece’s clothing in some
such way as this. Certainly she has
never been in this house, and I am sure
knows nothing of us but what 3he has
been told.”
As this was the only address the mys
terious young woman gave in the city, it
will probably be hard to find further
traces of her. The mystery surrounding
her is 6trauger than ever. The physicians
and nurses in the hospital were very
much puzzled over her conduct, but
strange cases are too common there lor
them to devote much time to thinking
over it. It the woman was telling an un
truth, she has a good memory and did not
allow herself to be caught napping in
cross-examination.
BELIEVERS IN THE SUPER,
NATURAL.
Two “Authenticated” Ghost Stories
From the Old World.
I have just heard a very curious story
which is now going the rounds of London
society, and which forms one of the sensa
tional topics ol the day, says a London
letter. It is certainly one of the best
authenticated stories of the supernatural
that I have ever heard, and is one of the
strangest. Suppressing, as is usual under
the circumstances, the names of the
parties concerned and that of the exact
locality wherein the incidents transpired,
the narrative runs as follows:
A few mouths ago a young English
artist, whom we will call Mr. B-—, went
down to the county seat of Lord X to
pay that gentleman a visit. The house
was full, but he was accorded a comfort
able and handsome chamber, apparently
one of the best in the bouse. He remained
for three days, the only noticeable feature
about bis visit being that each night he
was very troubled by a horrible dream, lie
dreamed that he was suddenly awakened
by the entrance of some person into bis
room, and that, on looking around, he saw
the apartment brightly illuminated, while
at the window stood "an old lady richly
dressed, in the act of throwing something
out. Her task accomplished, she turned
her face toward the amazed spectator,
showing a c untenance so distorted with
evil passions, so hideous in its expression
of wickedness, that it thrilled his soul
with horror. Then the light and the
dreadful old woman disappeared together,
leaving the artist to imagine that he had
been tormented by a frightful nightmare.
But on returning to London his imagina
tion was so haunted by that fearful coun
tenance, thrice seen amid the watches of
the night, that he made a sketch of it,
~*uch so conveyed the evil expression
/''ting aspect of the midnight hag
ana revi,. -ury body to whom he showed
as to horrify <*. went to pav a call
it. One day the art. . took
on Lord X—, and that hi
him into his picture gallery to - •.
some remarkable family porti ’ '
Among these what was the painter’s sur
prise to recognize in the likeness of a well
dressed and stately old lady the features
of his dream visitant, minus the revolting
and wicked expression. “I have seen
that lady,” was his involuntary exclama
tion as his eyes rested on the portrait.
“Indeed,” said Lord £ ; smiling,
“That is hardly possible, since she oied
something <}Vc r 100 years ago. She was
tbS second wife of my great-grand father,
and was anvthing but a credit to the
tamily, for she was strongly suspected of
having murdered her husband’s son by
bis first marriage in order to make her
own son the heir to the property. The un
fortunate boy broke his neck ina fall from
oneol the windows of our country seat, and
there is but little doubt of his having been
precipitated from the window by his step
mother.” The artist then related the cir
cumstances of his thrice-repeated dream
and sent for his sketch, which, so far as
features went, was identical with the
portrait in Lord H ’s gallery. He
afterward caused the sketch to be photo
graphed, and the lady who told me the
story said that she had herself seen the
photograph, and that the wicked face had
haunted her afterward for days.
1 have also recently heard in England
the following strange and undoubtedly
true story: A year ago an American
gentleman died suddenly while traveling
in Europe during the summer, and his
remains were deposited in a receiving
vault to await the approach of cold
weather before they were transported to
the United States. Some time before the
body arrived in America one of the de
ceased’s business agents had a very vivid
dream, in which he saw his defunct em
ployer standing by his bodside. “I am
come,” said the vision, “to tell you that
the coffin in which my corpse has been
inclosed is entirely too large to be gotten
through the door of our family vault.
You must have part of the doorway taken
down before the funeral, else a very vexa
tious delay in the ceremonies will ensue.”
Of course" the gentleman was far too
strong-minded to take so extreme a step
as that of causing the doorway of the
vault to be partly demolished in obedience
to the promptings of a dream. But when
the body arrived the coffin was found to
be far too large for the entrance, and all
the annoying incidents that had been pre
dicted in"the dream did really take place.
For the truth of the above story I can my
self vouch, as I know all the parties.
Vest and West.
J fieeouri Republican.
An agent from Philadelphia for the dis
tribution of photographs of the Greenback
candidates for President and Vice-Presi
dent, Butler and West, called yesterday
at the office of the new Greenback organ
in this city, and exhibited engrossed
samples, but on arriving here it was as
certained that the photograph of Butler
was correct, but that the photograph of
Senator Vest, of Missouri, was by a blun
der substituted for that of A. M. West, of
Holly Springs, Miss. The names of But
ler and West are properly given, but Mr.
Vest’s picture instead of West’s figures as
that of the Greenback Vice-President. The
agent stated that 2,000,000 copies have
already been put in circulation in the
country and 260,000 have been forwarded
in California.
The way the mistake occurred was this:
The artists who engraved the portraits
telegraphed to Chicago for West's photo
graph, and the name of West being mis
taken for that of Vest, the latter’s picture
was procured and sent on. This foreign
pronunciation of Y for W is a good joke
on West.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1884.
A WESTERN MONSTER.
A Mysterious Creature In British Col
. imbia.
The village of Yale, B. C., is situated at
the head of navigation on Fraser river,
90 miles above Few Westminster, which
was the capital ot British Columbia un
til it was changed to Victoria. About 20
miles from Yale, on the line of the rail
road, is a locality roughly known as
“Tunnel No. 4,” where the extraordinary
occurrences abou. to be related took place
during the early part of the present
month.
Notwithstanding the improbability of
any amount of prospecting resulting in
turning up even the bones of the “missing
link,” much less in finding an actual liv
iug specimen of thic much-debated being,
the actual facts which are related con
cerning the remarkable appearance near
“Tunnel No. 4” would tend to bear out
this theory of the- cubject. At different
times during the past two years there has
been seen in the hilly country about the
settlement a being whose personal appear
ance is variously described.
One day about a year ago a party of
young people from Yale went up on the
road as far as Tunnel No. 4, and there,
disembarking from the ears, proceeded to
spread themselves over the country in the
form of a picnic party. The tempting
meal had been spread upon the ground,
and the young men and girls were seated
in a circle preparing to enjoy the viands,
when there was heard a loud, crashing
noise above their heads, and in an instant,
withouWurther warning than was given
by a most fiendish yell—romething be
tween the shriek of a hyena and the In
dian war-whoop—there dropped into the
midst of the spread a horrible creature as
large as a man, covered with hair from
head to foot, with long arms, which he
brandished about in formidable style as
he vainly tried to extricate, himself from
the canned truits, cold meats, jam-pots,
and oleomargarine into which he had un
expectedly tumbled. Tai3 was a “surprise
party” for which no intentional prepara
tion had been made, and in a moment
there was a stampede. Tumbling head
long down the hill on whose crest the
elaborate meal had been laid, the frighten
ed picnickers so hastened their dep irture
as to be utterly unable to give anv coher
ent description of what had frightened
them to the railroad men whose assistance
they implored. A party fully armed was
at once made up, and the scene ot the
sudden onslaught was carefully ap
proached. The unwelcome visitor Lad
tied, hut before leaving he had plainly
helped himselt to everything that took his
fancy, and that seemed tc have been
guided by nothing but the opportunity. If
he were a human creature and had eaten
what was certainly gone, selected from
every imaginable article of food, his re
mains would undoubtedly be found in a
few hours. No Idiot, Indian, or ether kind
of man could possibly have eaten such a
mixture and live.
But if such was the case, the most care
ful search failed to result in finding the
body, and after a protracted search,
which lasted, after a desultory fashion,
for several weeks, the idea of his having
died of indigestion or gout was reluctant
ly abandoned. One fact which was de
monstrated by the circumstances of his
visitation caused the believers in the In
diau theory to be very deeply shaken in
their convictions. This was that he had
fallen from an overhanging limb of a tree,
carrying a large piece with him, and the
the limb was a good indication
that the creature must be as heavy as an
ordinary-sized man, and hardly an In
dian, as they do not usually climb trees.
A few mouths later another view of this
strange being was had by some workmen
on the railroad, but, though they gave
chase, they were not able to come up with
him. He" was not seen again until about
three weeks ago, when he was not only
seen, but caught. The spot where he was
discovered was a series of bluffs, deemed
inaccessible. A train was running from
Lytton to Yale, when the engineer saw
what he supposed to be a man lying close
to the track. Ho whistled down brakes,
but just as the train stopped the object
aiming to its feet, and in an instant was
climbing the side ot the precipitious de
clivity with the greatest ease. The con
ductor, brakemen, express messenger
and a number of passengers at once gave
chase, and after some perilous climbing
succeeded in corraling the creature on an
overhanging shelf of rock, from which he
could neither ascend nor descend. The
ingenious, though rather cruel, method
was now adopted for securing him of
dropping a piece of stone from above,
which, failing on his head, stunned him,
and he fell insensible.
The bell-rope was now procured, and,
after soijie expert climbing, he was
reached, tied, and lowered gradually
down to the foot of the cliff. He was
placed in the baggage-car and successful
ly transported to Vale, when it was
found that be bad recovered from his in
sensibility, and was tractable and docile.
One of the men in the railroad machine
shop assumed the care of him, named him
Jacko, and very soon made his friendly
acquaintance. And even then, and up to
the "Tsent time, it has not been satisfac
,„r;t nc -ertained to what race the new
discovery beii?. n^ ®• He is of the gorilla
type, but not delink 1 ? enough to bo de
clared a gorilla, which is, moreover, a
creature unknown to the latitude of Brit
ish ’ —*•“ there has been no
VUlULn’Mtt ™ .
menagerie there to introduce even a mon
key. He is about 4 feet. Inches in bei-nt,
anil weighs 127 pounds. His entire body,
except his hands and feet, is covered with
black, glossy hair about one inch in
length. He greatly resembles a human
being, but his forearm is much longer than
that of a man, and so strong that he will
break a stick—by wrenching or twisting
it —so large that ho man could possibly ac
complish this feat. He makes a noise,
half bark and half growl, but is general
ly quiet. His favorite food is berries, and
be drinks fresh milk with evident relish.
His captor intends taking him to London
for exhibition, when his exact position in
natural history will probably be discov
ered.
MR. KANDALL’S STOCKINGS.
Ail Incident of the Chicago Convention
Which Yields Mr. Ker a Souvenir.
“Do you see that pair of stockings!”
said YV. W. Ker, late assistant to United
States Attorney-General Brewster, draw
ing lrom his coat pocket a pair of gentle
men’s white English hose, as he sat in the
Philadelphia Press office.
“There’s a history connected with
them,” he went on. “During the meeting
of the Democratic Convention at Chicago,
Sam Randall arrived, hot, dusty and tired.
We wanted him to hurry up and appear
before a committee meeting of delegates,
but his baggage had not arrived, and so
we took him in charge, determined that
he should not lose any chance of getting
the nomination on account of the derelic
tion of the baggage men. I gave him my
room in the hotel, and he went and took a
bath. Then we began to collect some
articles of linen for him. I contributed a
pair of stockings, ex-Mayor Yaux contri
buted a shirt and collar and other arti
cles. Randall wears the old fashioned
shirts which button up before and which
have no studs in them. Vaux’s shirt was
ol the modern stvle, except that it had a
high old-fashioned collar attached. When
he got it on yon ought to have seen him.
The collar came away up to his ears and
almost buried the lower part of his face.
We got a black stock and fastened it
around the collar, and we got some studs
and put in the shirt front and sent him
off to the meeting in fine style. I forgot
all about the affair until to-day when Mrs.
Randall sent me the stockings nicely done
up. .
“Nobody shall ever wear those stock
ings.” said Mr. Ker, giving them a part
ing look and returning them to his pocket.
“I’m going to keep them until Sam Ran
dall is inaugurated President.”
Remarkable Results of a Snake Bite.
About Feb. 1, 1881, say 6 an Evergreen
(Ala.) letter, a man named Bledsoe
stopped for the night at one of the hotels
In this place. His room adjoined mine
and I had every opportunity for examin
ing him closely. He was a pitiable object
to be sure. lie was just from herding
cattle dn the plains of Texas. One day
in the early autumn of 1880, while he and
his companions were drowsily nooning on
the prairie, hejwas bitten on the left elbow
by a medium sized rattlesnake. He was
remote from any settlement and did not
obtain any medical aid for three days.
When I saw him some six months alter
the occurrence, his left arm was terribly
swollen and had assumed a perfectly
green hue. Loathsome sores were on his
left side from his armpit to his thigh,
which continually suppurated, exuding a
most offensive matter. These sores were
gradually extending over every portion of
his body—in fact that the poor fellow was
dying by degrees. While asleep he did
not snore, as istsome times the case, but ut
tered a low hissing sound like a snake.
He was never at ease a moment, and his
entire body was fast becoming paralyzed.
He left here soon after and went to Mont
gomery, and 1 have not seen or heard of
him since.
EARTHQUAKES AND EPIDEMICS.
A Lilt of Remarkable Tremors, Fol

Capt. Delaunay, the scientist, is out

things to the influence of the stars, follow

who connected epidemics with meteorolo

shared by many learned doctors who have
collected facts establishing very strange
coincidences, to say the least," between
the appearance of epidemics and atmos

Capt. Chapel, who has supplemented
the work of Capt. Delaunay, concludes
that in or about the year 1899 something
specially awful may" be confidently ex
pected. Capt. Delaunay quite agrees
with his colleague, but seems not so
sanguine about the fifteen years’ respite
promised by him.
in recent’years a number of very violent
earthquakes’ have been recorded, notably
the convulsion at Java 1883, and the great

Ischia in the Mediterranean in 1882.
A NOV Eli EXPEDITION.
Six Hundred “Persuader*” on a Tour
Among the Miners.
One of the most phenomenal expedi
tions of a phenomenal age, says a Fitts
burg special of Aug. 11, started for the
Monongahela riyer’s upper pools this
morning to use “moral suasion” upon the
coal miners in the fourth pool, and induce
them to desert the mines until the stand
ard price is paid. The price adopted by
tflo Board of Arbitration is 3 cents nor
bushel., with the privilege of check
’weighmen for the third and fourth
pools. This price has not been adhered
to, and the miners are now working in
the fourth pool for from 2to 2}£ cents
per bushel, and at a number of mines no
check weighmen are employed. This is
considered a great grievance to the min
ers of the other pools, who adhere to the
arbitration award, and the fact that coal
boats have been taken to the fourth pool
to load because the second pool refuse to
fill them for less than the established
price, has had a bad effect upon the work
ings of the Amalgamated Association.
Various attempts have been made to in
duce the fourth pool miners to leave the
pits and “stand out” for the full price,
but so far the efforts have been futile.
For this reason a grand persuasive as
sault was determined upon, and a circu
lar was issued calling upon the strikers
to meet at Six-mile Ferry this morning for
the purpose of taking a trip to the fourth
pool and endeavoring to get the men out.
In response several hundred miners gath
ered upon the Gumbert and Six-mile Fer
ry this morning, and at 11 o’clock, amid
considerable activity, the boat proceeded
up the stream.
The passengers are from the numerous
river pits, and also a few from the rail
road district. Each man carries his own
provisions to last from three to six days,
as well as his own blankets, or such bed
ding as they deem necessary. A number
of tents are on the boat, and they will be
set up at the different mining points in
the fourth pool where delegations are
dropped to persuade working miners to
quit the pits. There are 20 mines in op
eration under the price in the upper pool,
and between 1,000 and 1,500 miners are
employed at them. The Gumbert’s mis
sionaries will be dropped off at various
points, and set up their tents. By asso
ciation with the miners and using argu
ments and persuasions they hope to in
duce the men to quit. As the boat picked
up other missionaries at McKeesport and
elsewhere, the mission hopes to have
about 600 “persuaders” scattered among
the fourth pool men by Wednesday. The
first stop lor active work will be at
Wood’s ltun mines to-morrow morning.
The entire expedition is under the of
President Costello.
Couldn't Tell a Lie,
Chicaye Herald.
Coming up in a cable car last night from
Cottage Grove avenue an elderly man re
marked to his companion:
“They may beat Jim Blaine, but I doubt
it.”
“Why ?” was the response.
“Well, I judge the man by the boy. I
knew him down in Pennsylvania forty
years ago. He was a most charming lad,
and he had a way of gliding along in the
world as if he was greased. He and I
were hauled up in school once for stealing
apples during recess, and we agreed to
tell the same story and stick by each
other. When the teacher asked me what
I had to say I made the explanation that
had been agreed upon, but Jim elaborated
his story at great length. He was an ora
tor then as well as now, and when he had
got through the teacher took me by the
ear and said:
“ ‘I am pained to discover that yon are
a liar,' and then he belted me over the
head with a ferule. Just as I began to
holler Jim crept up to the teacher and
begged him to stop, saying: ‘l’ll forgive
him and I hope you will. I bear him no
ill-will.’ The teacher was so impressed
with his magnanimity that he hit me once
more for luck, and then ordered me to my
seat, It may be possible to beat that kind
of a feller, but he never was downed in
those days.”

FAMILY FACES.
Burdette Gives His Experience with the
Photograph Album.
Oh, yes, I said, 1 always enjoy looking
at photographs. Photographs and auto
graphs I just dote on. I had myself a
large collection of the autograiihs of emi
nent tradesmen, mostly local, to which I
was daily adding, paydaily, that was.
She was a serious sort of a woman,
Mrs. Squaretop, and never smiled at my
feeble joke as she handed me the album
to look over until her husband came in
from the field. I had just engaged sum
mer board.
I am a man accustomed to family pho
tograph albums. You can’t fool me on
them. I have set up with them from Hali
fax to Denver, and I know them by name
and sight. Pa and ma and that’s grand
pa and that’s grandma, and here’s uncle
George, and this is an aunt of pa’s, she’s
very wealthy and has no children, and pa
is her favorite nephew; and this is a young
lady I went to school with, and this is her
hrother Henry, and this is cousin Sue, and
this is aunt Hattie’s baby, and this is
a young man Henry went to school with,
and—do you know who this is? Ah, you,
now I won’t listen to another word." It
ain’t a bit like me, anyhow; it’s horrid,
and this is pa’s clerk, and this is—
he —a young man—uo, I won’t tell yon bis
name; he lives in Kickapoo, and this—oh,
my soil, you can’t stand me on photograph
albums. 1 know just where the family ends
and the strangers file in.
So I praised everybody’s ugly, flat, ex
pressionless, staring, stupid mug in Mrs.
Squaretop’s album, and hit everything all
right on the first and second quarter and
was coming along splendidly, and drew
up on the strangers just in sight of the
distance pole, arid I usually feel a little
tired then and rest myself on the
strangers.
“An who,” I said, airily, “is the placid
old female who had her tace ironed out
while it was hot?”
“That was Mr. Squaretoxi’s mother,”
Mrs. Squaretop said, half smiling, and I
felt elated. Evidently the old lady was not
so placid as she looked.
“Andold ‘before taking,’ ” I said; “this
forlorn old ghost just disappearing into
his shady collar?”
That was Mrs. Squaretop’s great uncle,
a grand old man, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. That is,
he would have signed it, she exclaimed,
only the soliciting committee got all the
signatures they wanted Just before they
got to hid. l had struck a snug, but not
a bad one. The uncle was out of place
anyhow. He ought to be run down. I
laughed anc’. said:
“ This old boy who had just been blown
up in a powder mill—did his friends
know that fie contemplated this photo
graph?”
That was her father’s cousin, who was
very dear to her. It has always been oon
sidered by good judges an excellent pic
ture. She 6a id it again, and left out the
good and placed the emphasis on plain,
unadorned judges. Somehow 1 wished she
wouldn’t.
I next found a “pirate stricken with re
morse,” which proved to be her half
brother, whom she loved more dearly than
any of her own brothers, and then 1 tried
to even up by praising the angelic face on
the opxios’ite page. Ah! there was a face
for a man to love; there was a coun
tenance to shine in a man’s home and his
heart like sunshine—ah-h!
It was Mr. Squaretop’s first wife.
Then 1 went at it again and tried to
check the falling thermometer by saying
that the imbecile with the curly hair
would look less like an ass if he simply
had his hat photographed, a6 that was
evidently what he had borrowed that silk
tile for, but a3 the imbecile was Mrs.
Squaretop’s dearest cousin it was a fail
ure, and I settled down for a final effort
on “the squab with the snub nose,” and
wondered it he had as many brains as he
had buttons and freckles, "adding that it
was marvelous how awfully black red
hair always took in a photograph. It was
Mrs. Squaretop’s eldest son) now at West
Point, and I was greatly relieved by the
opportune entrance of Mr. Squaretop, Sr.,
at that moment. He bowed, and I waited
for an introduction. I got it.
“This was Air.—ah ,” she said.
“Featherly,” I said, bowing.
“Leatherhead,” she" accepted, sweetly;
“he came to look at two rooms in the
south wing, but I think they will hardly
suit him. They are scarcely airy
enough.”
1 didn’t want them to think I was run
ning away or was frightened, and so I
sauntered down the roacl after 1 said good
bye with slow motions, but taking awful
strides. So I wasn’t 500 yards down the
road before Mr. Squaretop emerged over
the orchard fence, calling on me to stop a
minute. He might as well have asked me to
stop a whole week. A man clad in the habil
iments of a plow boy is not arraped for a
foot race, and before I was quite across
the country line he had given up the
chase.
I still retained unimpaired my excel
lent voice for photograph albums, but I
have no patience with people who scatter
their relatives all the way through them.
What shall it profit a visitor if he wado
safely and araoefully through twenty-nine
pages and then flounder in 130 fathoms on
a first coysin or an only son?
MAD ARCTIC EXPLORERS.
Do the Horrors of the Polar Night
YYeaken the Human Brain?
Some time ago, says the St.
James Gazette, “the present Mr.
Pepys,” writing in this journal, re
marked upon the little known fact
that the darkness, the loneliness, the
starvation of cold which Arctic explorers
un lergo, breed madness in an extraordi
nary number of cases. We now learn
that the minds of Lieut. Greely’s compan
ions were found to be “all weak,” and
that one became insane before he died.
Our Mr. Pepys told a dreadful story in
Illustration of his remark—a story that
may be worth repeating:
Capt. C served as a junior officer in
a certain North Pole expedition. Away
tbev went and soon were lost in solitude;
and then a time with naught to do but to
watch a long procession of ghostly days.
But in the commander’s ship his Lieuten
ant went mad; and presently food began
to fail; and then the commander, calling
his officers together, told them they had
come to the time of half-rations. But it
was also time that, at a certain place that
might be reached overland, a relief ship
should arrive with stores; and now the
question was, who would volunteer to go
off to this ship. C offered to lead the
party, and he did so, taking with him a
fair share oi provisions and the mad Lieu
tenant, who, poor wretch, was bound
down in the boat he was drawn in. So
they journeyed day after day: the mad
Lieutenant presently regaining his reason,
the well-hoarded provender still diminish
ing, till at length these poor seamen turn
ed in one night to rest with their last bis
cuit in their bellies.
A sad night; but in the morning on
again cheerily as might be, and there was
the ship visible almost as soon as they had
started. Now, there was a surgeon on
board that ship: and alter the surgeon had
dutifully examined-C ’s men, he took
him aside and told him that nearly all
of them might expect to go mad some day.
As for the Lieutenant, he relapsed; and
there was an end of him. As for C , he
only grew fretful. Like many another
seaman,he thought himself neglected and
his sufferings and services shamefully for
gotten. For years he grumbled,ever talking
ot his wrongs; as how many more do! and
how pitiful it is to hear them. Now a cer
tain great nobleman, the Duke of ,
had lately refurnished and reappointed
his ancient castle in the North; and when
all was done he invited a great bevy of his
friends to an entertainment there, and
amongst them Capt. C , tor whom he
had a kindness. The first evening tnere
was a grand ceremonious banquet, and
thereat sat C , and as soon as soup was
served grew warm about his wrongs and
the notorious accursed favoritism of ad
miralty officials. Nor would he cease,
though the Duke threw him many a mean
ing glance; would have much plaes
ure in taking wine with Capt. C , and
so forth. Now at the table was a lord of
admiralty himself; and by that,and by the
Duke’s friendship, we may understand
how it came about that just as dinner was
over a great letter, with a grand official
seal, was handed by a footman to my
Captain. It had just arrived; it was of
immediate importance; it was a commis
sion of appointment to the command of a
noble ship ordered on instant service. A
word of leave-taking, and that very night
the happy seaman 'was hurrying on the
southward road.
In due time he came to the port where
his ship lay; and there she w r asin Sunday
trim to receive him, and his Lieutenant in
full rig to welcome him aboard. Gladly
and proudly he stepped aboard; and
forthwith went raving mad on his quar
ter deck.
Leather belts are much worn. Some of
them are cleverly painted by their owners.
WHAT MORMONISM IS.
A Licentious Astatic Fractlce Its Effect
on Children.
A good Mormon, says the Salt Lake Tri
bune, said to the writer of this the other
day: “Why do you denounce our side of
the question so bitterly? Suppose a Mor
mon has more than one wife how does
that concern you ? If s ou do not like it,
there is nothing catching about it; why
can you not let things work their way
quietly and leave time to establish which
is right?” The man is an honest man and
deserves a candid answer. The reason
Mormonism has such a horror to us is be
cause it aims a mortal double blow at our
government. It preaches the right of a
creed to absolute rule, and it takes the
sanctity from home. It is an .exotic
transplanted from Asiatic soil. It lacks
the humanizing instincts which make
Christianity x>ossible, and which never
bore fruit through Christianity even until
it was engrafted afresh by the more gener
ous nations of Europe. A most gifted
writer says: “The most pitiful thing in
the Bible is the conspicuous absence of
the fireside. Look at "poor Apostle Peter
beneath the palace, at the kitchen fire on
the ground, among the servants, warming
his blood to fortify his faith—it sends a
cold chill through the whole plan of salva
tion. Every one knows that Christianity
had no people’s music—for the Psalms
and songs were priestly—no hymns, no
chants, no conquering measure of martial
tramp till it met the fireside men of the lur
clad North. The inspiration of our best
heart music is the march of Valhalla and
the wail of the Valkyrias—love and war.”
And, continuing, he says: “What 1 wish
to say is: That civil liberty, civilization,
Christianity are upheld by tbe family
circle, and I think the most evil infidelity
is a lack of faith in the virtues ot one’s
ancestors.”
Now, we hold that had the Christian
church been confined to the soil of Asia it
would, through the manipulation of Asia
tics, by this time have been as cruel and
licentious a creed as the Mohammedan
creed is. It took on its gentleness when
rough but tender souls of Northern
Europe interpreted around their firesides
the Master’s words. In the homes of
Europe Christianity was humanized, and
at the same time the liberty-loving races
that humanized it relegated it to its pro
per jdace—gave it charge of the hearts
and souls oi men, and made it remove its
control from the civil government. It
took centuries to accomplish this; it
causedtheßacrific.fi of millions of lives;
but on that stubborn ground it was fought
out, and the triumph was won because
the homes were kept sacred and children
learned at the same time reverence for
their ancestors, reverence for religion,
and reverence for law. This thing called
the Mormon Church is but a return to the
Asiatic system, and seeks directly to
break down reverence for home, rever
ence for law T ANARUS, and to bind the brains of
men to accept without reason the arbi
trary dictates of a creed. It seeks to undo
all the progress of the last thousand years,
and to make man the miserable nomad of
old. There are sincere men who do not
think this is so, but the system has con
tinued long enough to make clear its
tendency. In young Utah how much
reverence is there for ancestors? Three
out of four of them curse the crime that
caused them to be born in shame. How
many of them remember their early homes
with any thought but that of relief that
the miserable history is for them past?
Now, when a man has uo respect for his
ancestors and no reverence for the home
that he was born in, he is not a citizen
whom his country could in an emergency
depend upon. If a child never learns to
love the law of home he will never accept
graciously the restraints which the civil
laws draw around every citizen. He is
inclined to become a law to himself. And
it is to precisely this position that Utah is
swiftly gravitating. At the same time
the young of both sexes here are following
in the lead which all polygamous coun
tries gravitate to. The young men, as a
whole, are not so scrupulously honest as
their fathers were, and a greater propor
tion of the young women are going to the
bad, than in the old days of their mothers.
Young people cannot be trained from
childhood to deride the laws of their coun
try, except, that as a penalty', it will be
found they deride all other restraints. It
is for these reasons that we abhor Mor
nionism. It destroys home; it breaks
down reverence forholy things; it teaches
defiance to the laws; it strikes at virtue
in woman, because it degrades her; it
strikes at honor in man, for it chains him
to a superstition which, while offering
reward to his lusts, warps his brain into
a belief that he is not bound by the
restraints which civilization imposes, it
is the planting on American soil of a
worse than upas tree, which poisons all
the atmosphere.
A MYSTERIOUS PATIENT.
A Physician Left Hound and Gagged In
a Deserted Inn.
A letter from a resident of Havana, N.
Y., to a gentleman in this village, says a
Newfield (N. V.) special to the World ,
tells the following very singular
story: “A year ago this month a
bote was left at the drug store
of Dr. McCorn, in Havana, by a
boy, who said he had been hired by a man
to deliver it. It was a request for the
doctor to call immediately on an urgent
case at Henry McClure’s. Mr. McClure
w T as a farmer, who lived 2 miles from
Havana. The note was left at the office
at 9 o’clock at night. Dr. McCorn started
in his carriage for the McClure place.
“The night was very dark,and when Dr.
McCorn reached a road branching off into
Havana Glen a man stepped up and
asked him if he w r as Dr. McCorn. The
doctor could not recognize the man, but
answered his question in the affirmative.
The man then told him that he was the
person who had 3eut the request for him
to call, but the case was not at Farmer
McClure’s, but nearer. The man seemed
greatly agitated, and when the doctor
hesitated about taking charge of a case
about which so much mystery was made
the stranger assured him that it was one
of great urgency and the doctor finally
told him to lead the way. The stranger
led the horse into the side road. They
proceeded until they reached an old hotel
that had been long deserted and was rap
idly going to decay'. The doctor followed
the man into a rear room in the hotel,
where a lantern was dimly burning. An
elderly man and a middle-aged woman
sat on a bench. On the floor covered with
a carriage robe was another whose face
the doctor could not see. A young man
who stood back in the shadow came for
ward and told the doctor that the woman
lying on the floor was his wife and the
elderly man was her father. The other
woman, he said, was their family ser
vant. The doctor protested against Hav
ing anything to do with the case in that
out-of-the-way place, and insisted that
the sick woman be removed to a neigh
boring farm house. This the old gentleman
man it was impossible to do, and the suf
ferings of the woman finally induced him
to take charge of the case, she corroborat
ing the story of the two men. The doc
tor said, however, that he would report
the strange affair and have it made a case
for legal investigation.
“The woman gave birth to a male child,
and with it and the nurse she was carried
to a covered hack which was brought
from the shed beside the hotel. The three
men came back as. if to say something
further to the doctor, but seized him in
stead and bound his hands and feet and
gagged him, assuring him meanwhile
that they regretted doing so, but that it
was necessary to save the honor of the
people for them to get away without their
identity being discovered. They then
placed a bank note in the doctor’s pocket
and left him alone in the building.
“John Ames, Dr. McCorn’s clerk,finding
the next morning the note requesting the
doctor to visit McClure’s place, and the
doctor not having returned late in the
forenoon, started for McClure’s to seeif
anything had happened to him. No one
at McClure’s knew anything about the
doctor, and Ames, seeing the tracks of a
wagon leading down into a hollow, fol
lowed them. He found the doctor’s horse
tied in the shed and the doctor himself
bound on the fioor in the old hotel. In
stead of making the mysterious affair
public McCorn and Ames agreed to keep
quiet about it with the hope that they
might get on the track of the parties or
discover new developments. The matter
remained a secret with them for several
weeks when, being unable to get any
trace of the strange party, they made it
known. The story made a sensation in
the village for a while, but was finally
forgotten. It has been revived by the re
ceipt by Dr. McCorn of an anonymous
letter, postmarked Corning, 0., referring
to the birth of the child in the old hotel a
year ago, and inclosing $5O as a present
to the doctor from the child on the first
anniversary of its birth.”
Many skirts are being made with one
deep flounce extending almost to the
waist. Over this falls a short overskirt,
