A QI'EEU WEbTKKX TOWN.
Tha Way Belknap waa First Built by
Mistake on a Crust of Snow.
'ftp story of the town of Belknap, says
a feuiver letter to the New York Sun, baa
•cTer been fully told, but it is worth tell
ing, Rumors of the great wsW> to •>
hud cr —S.W in the Coeur d'Alene
scunlry had reached the outer world in
tbs fall of PSB3, and, being very persist
-Btly kept afloat, gave plain indications
that a boom would set in early in the lol
iowlsgsprmg. Twoenterprising men,who
werentireiy familiar with the art of
•realing cities, started from Denver in
-January, and ruling along tbe snow
bouad line of tbe Northern Pacific until
they same to a point w bich looked as If it
might t*e somewnere near opposite to tbe
promised land of gold on the other side of
the uioiiDta ns, jumped off into the snow
aud claimed tue town ol B lknap. Their
reo-on lor stopping at tnis particular
point was that me engine bad aaludtnerc
take in water from a tank, the onlv
struc-tir.- within a bundled miles ot the
place. Dw as not an over promising site
foratuwo. On ibe left or tbe track tbe
.ittiop bill, heavily timitered with im-
Tneast pine trees, extended skyward at
in as le ol 45 decrees, and on the right of
the track sloped downward at about tbe
tome Incline. Th**pine Ire* s were so close
logetber in some places that it was al
most im|s>ssible lor these piomers, wad
ing through the snow, to run the lines for
tba a .rvey of tbeir proposed metropolis.
Having, however, chopped down a tree or
; we, and claimed and named tbeir town,
!by set out iu searebot inhabitants, feel
ing (oieranly sure that nob-sly would steal
during tbeir alisence.
B> promises of corner lots they induced
a sufficient number of litxiring men to
loosaipany them to the chosen spot from
Roue City, Helena, and other Montana
towns, and, having at last cleared awav j
so ep-mug in a pine forest sufficiently
large l. accommodate a lew big tents,
*ey ini|>orted a big gang of Cninameu
< rr tbe Pacific alojie aud began ir. earn
■Ot the lav mg out • ! streets. Shoveling
tut anvwhere Imm six to ten feet ol
maw tiom around tbe trees, they saw*dt
tri.tbi trunks as close to the gtound as
•oasibie, and in the course of a few weeks
tad constructed Broauwav, which was
about 3><o yams long aud 40 leet wide,
running at right anal- s to tue railroad
wark, and First, Second and Third
sUr* t, narrower thorougbiari s of vary
ing len tb. wbicb crossed Broadway at
regular intervals. It being a mait-Y of
dispute wbeiher tbe section of land upon
which tbeir town bad been located was
the property ot ihe Northern Pacific
Railroad or ot tbe United Slates Govern
mast., they entered into some sort of an
arrangement with the railroad by wbicb
the latier nnderinok to iu ke the titles • f
ists good in either event.
All was uow in reed mess for tbe sale
•f real9iate. The Northern Pacific ud
veriiaid Belknap tarou.bout the E .st as
Aewuvpotttlhe i <eur d’Alene coun
try, and mops ol this new city, showing
all the desirable building corners, were
sang ia all toe real estate ufli -es of Den
ver. Cheyenne, Salt Lake, aud other im
pnrtam Western centres. A gentleman
w;o bad a large and profitable hotel here
m Denver sold out all his property here
aim bought two lots at tbe corner of
Broadway and second street, 1 think, for
•which ne paid $l.l >OO apiece. He shipped
atd lumlier to Belknap by the carload,
arid look out enough furniture to equip
two ordinary hotels. Arrived at Belknap,
be teund his corner occupied by trees ot a
use in r>'n growth. Nothing daunted, he
•awui the monster trunks off at tbe street
level, using the stumps as a convenient
and ready-made foundation for Lis new
hotel. Other at wcomers did tbe same,
and by March l there v. as such a sound
1 hawing anil hammering as bad never
bd-h dreamed of in this primeval forest,
ffew streets were laid out and shantits
seraii to go up iu every direction.
But now a most astounding and embar
rassing thing occurred. Tbe torest having
seen cleared l< r a large space, the rays
mi vh. midday sun be*: an io play havoc
with sUvet pavements. What ha.l before
appeared to be a fii in inundation began to
prove uncertain. Thu surface of the
street, and of euch building lots as bad
•teen cleared of timber, began to drop out
in ej-wte, and it was then found that the
tawu had been laid out six or eight feet
above terra firiua. In shoveling away the
anew, in order to get at the foot ot the
trees, the builders of the town had come
upon what they supposed to be the
groans, but which now proved to be a
:acrvcrust of leaves and twigs and fallen
boughs and branches resting upon a loun
datiou of snow which, as has been said,
was from lit to eight f-et deep. The re
sult can easily be imagined, ileuses
which had appeared to b--nn solid ground
were suddenly found insecurely balanced
In the air on massive stilts, and Broad
wav was no longer passable, being thick
ly studded throughout its length with un
said? tree trunks. The founders of the
tows, however, and the owners, having
made certain that they bad at last
eao ed a genuine soil, sawed the trees n
stceud time, and ret amd their tailing
buikiiaga. In ten wteks after its incep
tion the town of Belknap contained 4,000
inhabitant®, not including the Indians,
who came in troops from all directions,
supplying the new market with an abun
dance ef game. There were 17 .corner
liquor stores on April 1 on Broadway
alone, and tne foundation was being laid
for a large theatre—unfailing signs ot
prosperity in the West.
But just about this time a Mr. Thomp
son, wuo bad a band in the building of
Leadville, arrived at Belknap, and ruod
***t!y requested to be let into the towu
company. It was then that the authors of
Belknap made a grand mistake. Tney
should bare propitiated Mr. Thompson
had It taken two solid business blocks to
do it. They, however, gave him the cold
shoulder, whereupon he immediately
tourneyed back halt a dozen miles on the
railroad and started a town of his own.
The magnates of Belknap snapped their
degers at his riva'rv, conscious of the
fact that their relations with the North
ern Pacific Railroad were such that all
passengers tor the Oeur d’Alene would
be ticketed direct to Belknap. Such was
the case, but it didn’t worry Thompson in
the least. He simply presentel every
<*cnduotor and brakeman on the line of
the railroad with a corner lot, and trust
ed the consequences. The consequences
were as satisfactory to him as they were
disastrous to Belknap. Each train man
had constituted himself a self-appointed
missionary to rescue pvssengers fr< m the
horrors ot'Belknap, and two-thirds or the
travel was in this way switched off at
Thompson’s Palls, which was declared
•y the railroad employes to be the only
point from which there was communica
tion to the Cmur d’Alene mines. The
tiutb of the matter is there was no means
of getting to the point where the gold was
supp<ed to be from either of these
places except on shank’s mare, along a
narrow trail which ran over tne summit
cl the mountains. Men. women and
children were landed at Thompson’s or
Belknap, as the case might lie, only, to
find that thirty miles of snow, which
cou'd onlv be crossed on foot, lay bc
twe* r. them and the El Dorado of their
hope?.
Why the Onr d’Alene bubble did not
tljisj;' to g’Oafrf proportion# bcfCTC It
collapsed Ido not know. It broke with
out warning, and caught even the enter
prising real estate men of Belknap and
Thompson's Kalla so suddenly that they
were unable to save lit' I>* m >re than tbeir
necks, some of them having a desperate
struggle to accomplish even that. A month
or two later the town of Belknap was
burned down.
FIGHT! B SULLIVAN.
Boston's Most Distinguished Citizen
Losing the Confidence of HU Friends.
Bostom, March 25. —The occupation ol
the pugilist is about gone. The exhibi
tion business was overdone long ago, and
was revived only when John L. Sullivan
proposed to “turn over anew leaf," do
•tetter and make a tour of the world. At
present it is impossible to get a license
lor a pugilistic or a wrestling exhibition
irom the Board of Aldermen, and the con
tests mentioned in the papers from time
to time take p’ace in club rooms, to
which only a limited number of people
are admitted. Sullivan is in Philadelphia
preparing for a match with McCaffrey.
Nearly all the old friends he formerly had
in this city have abandoned him because
of his reckless ways, and he has verv
little money. His conceit has greatly
diminished, and be rails at those who,
while managing him, saved tbeir money
and are now much better off then he who
made it possible for them to clear thou
sands of dollars.
His last manager, Pat Sheedy, of Chica
go, has lost confidence in Sullivan, and
will have nothing more to do with him,
but Sullivan says Sheedy and he parted
l*ecause the Chicago man looked lor too
much money. Woen bueedy waa in this
city a few months ago he expressed the
opinion privately that Sullivan was little
short of a brute; that his na
ture was such as to surely bring him
to grief; that the Boston champion
would die with his uoots on, and that he
(Sheedv) would give $5,000 out of his own
pocket ir Sullivan was not shot and killed
during his management of him. Sheedy
also said that Sullivan did not possess the
redeeming quality of being a man of his
word, and that he suggested a back
down fiwni ttia agreement made with Pad
dy Ryan for the settlement of receipts
from tbeir New York exhibition.
It was Sheedy’s intention, had Sulli
vin behaved himself, to take the pugilis
tic champion on a tour through the South
to New Orleans, and later to travel
through Europe witn him. “If he doesn't
behave himself," said Sheedv, “I may not
go South w.tb him, but if 1 do accompa
ny him alter he has misbehaved, I will
certainly shake him after the engagement
in New Orleans has closed." Sullivan
now siys that be intends going to Europe
and Australia without Sheedy.' The suit
ol his wife for divorce comes' up shortly,
and Sullivan will contest, not that be
cares to live with Mrs. Sullivan, but he
wauts to get control of the baby, John
L. Su livan, Jr., of whom he La's great

GEN. BL ACK IN HIS NEW OFFICE.
Bis Numerous Callers and the Manner
in which he Treats Them.
A reporter sat long enough in the office
of Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pensions,
yesterday, says the Washington Post, to
convince him that the new Commissioner
is master of the situation, and will look
<>ut for the interest of the soldier as
sharply as ho will for those of the gov
ernment. He is quick without being
abrupt in bis disposition of alt matters
wniuu come before him, and bears the
complaint of the humblest pensioner
quite as respectfully as he does the re
quests of members of Congress, Oae of
the latter asked Gen. Black yesterday to
make a certain case “special"—that is,
take it up out of its order, and dispose of
It In advance of thousands of other claims
filed iiefore it. “Please put your rea
sons in writing," said the Commissioner,
‘•and we will then tak - pleasure in con
sidering jour request."
Next came a Hibernian, who wore the
blue in the war of the rebellion. He was
in- r<riat“il, but resjiectful in his manner.
The Commissioner read attentively a pa
per which the ex-soldier handed bifn.
“You sav you have a wound on the
kn*re; is it a bad one?’’
“Yis, Gineral; here it is," and rolling
up his pants he disclosed a ghastly
scar.
“Let me look at your wounded hand,"
said the Commissioner; and the veteran
exhibited a crippled bund.
“And you get but $0 a month ?’’ said
the Commissioner.
“Only $6, Gineral. For ’leven years I
wint widout a pinsion whin I didn’t need
it, and whin l not poor, be J "
“l ut, tut; don’t swear. I’ll have vour

sad: “Write to the lady who is the attor

to have her call at this office as soon as
she can make it convenient.”

Ctinriulug Mr*. Marilaon.
Jeetrie Benton Fremont* in Wi*le Awoke,
1 have heard many things, too long to
tell here, of Mrs. Madison’s way of receiv
ing in the White House. Wuile she was
talking with the more distinguished peo
ple her quick eye would mark some shy
young man or" nervous-looking woman,
not yet used to the socii ty in which she
was so naturally at home; a*ter the first
part of the reception she always moved
about the rooms as a lady would in her
own house, and in her own bright, natur
al way, said something ro any one, es
pecially to those shy and Dervous people,
which made them glow with the pleased
feeling that they were welcome and made
to be part of her reception.
Mrs. Madison’s considerate happy man
ner outlasted time and change and many
troubles, and made her house in Wash
ington a place w here strangers and resi
dents went with pleasure—a shabby
house, and the tall handsome old lady in
shabby old gowns ot velvet or brocade no
wise altered from the fashion of her days
of power. But she was Mrs. Madison.
And in the Washington of my younger
day name and character outranked ap
l>earance. No one questioned her wear
ing these short-waisted, puff-sleeved,
gored velvet gowns, with a tnu-lm neci
e chief tucked into the low waist
of the gown, and a little Ind a
scarf of lovely faded tones over it. A
wide and stiff quilling of net rose high
around her throat always— and, I fear me,
a little rouge and powder were al-o in use
to cover time’s lootsteps. Tne bad taste of
tne dav discouraged gray hair, and Mrs.
Madison’s dark row of curls was always
surmounted by a turban. And with all
this she was handsome, majestic and sim
ply diunitied, and very agreeable—with
a memory and kind words for every one.
tine dined out ot ten and was the chief
person always; and on New Tear’s day
h *r rooms were crowded, for every one
who was any one went there across from
tne President’s.
A great niece of Mrs. Madison—Adele
Coutts—was fully the equal of her famous
aunt in beauty and sweetness of nature,
while every charm that polished training
and associations cat I'ivestae rad gaiheie l*
oue would have graced tne W bite House
had her first husband. Senator Douglas,
of Illinois, reached the Presidency.
Seeing her again but a few years ago.
her fresh nes and added charm surprised
me Into asking her how she had kept the
clock back and suffered no change only
increase of beauty. “Because I am
happy, I suppose,’’ she laughed, with a
lovely blush.
Itrcntor or tbe Weather Map.
I tncinrbiti Enquirer.
Nearly everybody in town knows Frank
Armstrong, the commission merchant,
lut there are comparatively few who are
aware of tbe fact that he is the man who
marie tbe first weather map. It was in
1868, when Mr. Armstrong held a Dromi
nent position in the local office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, that
he put tbe idea, which had lieen discussed
by himself, George T. Williams and
Wylie Smith, to a practical test.
The map was traced upon a square
of copper, and the original is now
in the possession of the United
States Signal Service authorities in Wash

certain subscribers, manifold copies ot
the map were made, and theu a litho
graph was prepared. Mr. Armstrong
tried to get the Western Union Telegraph
Company in New York to take the nutter
up, but they wouldn’t do it, and be finally
sold it to H. D. Rogers. “Make any money

BILL NYE.
He Shows What Life Insurance Has
Done for Him.
Hudson. Wis., March 10.— Editor oj
the Globe: Referring to the matter of
life insurance and its benefits, 1 can
hardly give the Globe a very extended
experience so far as 1 am individually
concerned.
1 carry an insurance ot $7,000 only, and
though that may look small to you, Mr.
Taylor, 1 am sure that if you could see
me and converse with me you would say
it was plenty large enough.' If I were to
uie suddenly to-monow 1 would be al
most ashamed to claim the full amount of
the policy. lam trying now to lead such
a life that by next fall I would have no
hesitation in asking the companies to
raise my insurance to SIO,OOO.
1 look upon life insurance as a great
comfort, not only to the beneficiary, but
to the insured, who very rarely lives to
realize anything pecuniarily from his
venture. Twice I have almost raised my
wile to affluence and cast a gloom over
the community in which I lived, but
something happened to the physician for
a lew days so that he could not attend to
me, and I recovered. For nearly two
years I was under the doctor’s care. He
had his finger on my pulse or In my
jiocket all toat time. He was a young
Western physician, who attended me
Tuesdays and Fridays. The rest of the
week he devoted his medical skill to
horses that were mentally and physically
broken down. He said be attended me
largely for my society. I felt flattered to
know' that be enjoyed my society after
having been thrown among horses all the
week that had had much greater advan
tages than I.
My wife at first objected seriously to an
insurance on my life, and said she would
never, never touch a dollar of the money
it 1 were to die, but after I had been sick
nearly two years, and my disposition
had suffered a good deal, she said that
I need not delay the obsequies on that
account. But the life insurance slipped
through my fingers somehow, and I re
covered.
I have built up two life insurance com
paries and placed them on their feet since
that. I hope they will not forget it when
I come to call on them tor a favor. One
of them is an “old-liner," and tne other
is an assessment company. I took a
policy in the assessment company be
cause I had been in politics some, and
when I went out I missed my assessment
sadly. I had become a slave to the as
sessment habit, and so hail to do some
thing iu order to supply its place. I now
feel first rate. When I get my assess
ment notice I imagine I am an office
holder and that it is a billet-doux from
the central committee, so it is like old
times almost.
Lile insurance is a good thing. I would
not be without it. My health is greatly
improved since I got my new policy.
Formerly I used to have a seal-brown
laste in my mouth when I arose in the
mornin/, but that has disappeared entire
ly. lam more hopeful ami happy, and
iny hair is getting thicker on top. I
would rot try to keep house without life
insurance. Last September I was caught
j in one of the most destructive cyclones
j that ever visited a Republican form of
government. A great deal of property
was destroyed and many lives were lost,
but 1 was spared. People who had no in
surance were mowed down on every band,
but aside from a broken leg I was entirely
unharmed.
Since insuring my life I sleep better
nights, and my neighbors are getting
moiereckless aiiout leaving their water
melons and clothes lines out over night.
If I had a voice that could be heard on
the other side of the Soudan it would still
be for good, solid life insurance. In these
days ol dynamite and roller-rinks and the
gory meat-ax ol anew administration
we ought to make some provision for the
future.
FOHECASIB FOR GIRLS.
How Withes Maybe Fulfilled or Love’s
Tale Foretold.
Perhaps your affections are still disen
gaged, says Btlgra • ia, but you w’iah to be
stow them on one who will return like for
like. In this case there are plenty of
wishing chairs, wishing gates, etc., scat
tered through the country. A wish
breathed near them, and kept secret, will
sooner or later have its fulfillment.
There is no need to travel to the Lake
country or to Finchale Priory, near Dur
ham ( where there is a wishing chair); if
you see a piece of old iron or horseshoe on
your path take it up, spit on it and throw
it over your hit shoulder, iraming a w ish
at the same time. Keep this wish a se
cret, aud it will come to pass in due time.
it you meet a piebald horse nothing can
be more lucky. Utter your wish, and
whatever it mav be you will have it be
fore the week be out.
In Cleveland the following method of
divining whether a girl will be married or
not is resorted to: Take a tumbler of
water Irom a stream which ruus south
ward, borrow the wedding-ring of some
gude-wife and suspend it by a hair of your
head over the glass of wat.T. holding the
hair between the linger and thumb. If
the ring bit against the side of the glass,
the bolder will die an old maid; if it turn
quickly round, she w ilt be married once;
if slowly, twice. Should the ring strike
•the side of the glass more lhau three
times after the holder has pronounced the
name of her lover, tnere will be a lengthy
courtship, and nothing more—“she will
be courted to dead," as they savin Lin
colnshire; if less frequently, liie affair
will be broken off; anu inhere is no strik
ing at all, it will never come on.
If you look at the first new moon of the
year through a silk handkerchief which
has never been washed, as many moons
as you see through it (the threads multi
plying the vision ), so many years must
1 ass before your marriage.
Would you ascertain the color of your
future husband’s hair? Follow the prac
tice of the German girls. Between the
hours of 11 and 12 at night on St. An
drew’s eve a maiden must stand at the
house door, take hold of the latch, and
sav three times: “Gentle love, il thou
lovest me show thyself.” She must then
open the door quickly and make a rapid
grasp through it into the darkness, when
sne will find in her baud a lock of her fu
ture husband’s hair.
A FEMININE WILLIAM TELL..
A Marvelous Lass on tbe Pacific Slope.
Miss Lillian F. Smith, the phenomenal
rifle shot, says the San Francisco Chroni
cle, ia n. plump little maiden of 13 years,
ivbe is about five feet in height and sturdy
in build, iler tace is' reiuarkatily pleas
ant, round and smiling, ami lightened up
with a pair of twinkling, deep gray eyes.
She gives one the impression that she is a
frolicsome lass, who would never willing
ly or knowingly hurt a living creature,
rather than a young woman who has
killed wildcats, squirrels, cotton-tail and
jack rabbits by the score, and quails, red
heads, mallards and young ducks hv the
thousand. At an early age Miss Lil Pan
displayed a remarkable propensity to kill
all that came within her reach, and at 7
years of age she manufactured lor herself
a bow gun, with which she slaughtered
all tbe little birds about the house.
“How did you c me to be a shot?”
asked a Chronicle reporter of her the
other day.
“1 really don’t know. It came natural
to me. I have a brother who is rather a
good pigeon shot. Perhaps that induced
tne to emulate him, and that may be the
reason. Oh, no, I never have been out of
this State, I was born up in Coleville,
Mono county, and when 1 was quite
small we moved down to the Sau Joaquin
valley. That is where I actually com
menced shooting. No, lam not a wing
shot and 1 don’t like to shoot, because I
am afraid it will injure my rifle shooting,
though, of course, I sometimes shoot at
pigeons, as 1 did the other day at Bird’s
Point. You know I made somewhat of a
good score it. Sacramento last October at
the Agricultural Park. I smashed 94
clay pigeons out of 100. They were sprung
from the fourth notch.”
“Have you tried to get up any
matches?”
“Haven’tlf” answered the ambitious
shot with lively emphasis. “I have chal
lenged every body—Carver, Bogardus and
the rest of them—and they won’t take any
notice of a girl. I declare it’s too bad. I
have not tried to get lip a match in town.
Your paper said I was anxious to arrange
a match with Jacoby; but Jacoby won’t
6hoot. No one will,” and the appearance
ot something like a pout was plainly visi
hie on the disappointed face.

THE MERSEY TUNNEL.
How the Work of Bxcavatlnc Under the
Big River i* Coming On.
The inspection ol the Mersey tunnel,
says the London Standard, by a large
number of shareholders asd directors
was a matter of great interest yesterday
at Liverpool and Birkenhead. Theflist
act for such an undertaking was obtained
in 1860, and several additicnal powers
were subsequently applied for and ob
tained, but It was not until 1380 that the
real operations for making the tunnel
were undertaken. Since then the work
has progressed with energy, the solid new
red sandstone rock forming an admirable
material to work upon. Perfectly able to
support itself and to endure the opera
tions of blasting, the tunnel has only re
quired to be ImtHi with brick for the pur
pose of stopping out the percolation ot
water from the bed ot the Mersey, at a
distanoe of about t lirty feet, beneath
which tne tunnel has been perforated.
For the like reasons the physical charac
ter of the stone has enabled the portions
ot the tunnel under the streets of the two
towns to be carried on without the pur
chase of build'ngs and land, which would
have been needful to cover the effects of
subsidences in tne case of ordinary exca
vations.
The tunnel is now entirely bricked and
completed from one side of the river to
the other, a distance of 1,250 yards. Its
form is that of a depressed oval, and it is
26 feet in width and 21 feet in height, the
invert being nearly equal in form to the
arched portion overhead. Tho brickwork
of blue Staff rdshire bricks is three feet
In thickness at the invert. Below the
tunnel there is a drainage heading, run
ning continnonsly with the tunnel itself,
seveu feet in diameter. Into this at fre
quent intervals the water entering the
tunnel is pumped, and tbs tunnel Is in
this way kept dry and efficient. On the
Liverpool side there is a large subter
ranean station, with platforms and pro
vision for lifts which will be capable of
elevating 240 passengers to the level of
James Btreet in 40 seconds. This station
is 400 feet long, 50 in width and 38 in
height.
When the traffic is worked the tunnel
will be ventilated by two fans, one iorty
and the other thirty feet in diameter.
Alongside the tunuel there Is a ventila
tion beading cut In the solid rock a thous
and yards long and seven feet four inches
in diameter. On the Birkenhead side
there will he a similar station under
Hamilton street, and thence the tunnel
continues under the Loudon and North
western Railway and Great Western
Railway to the Haymarket. Both ends
ot the tunnel railway will ultimately la
brought to l he surface and connected with
the main lines proceeding from Liverpool
in all directions. On the Liverpool side
communication will be made with tne
Cheshire lines, and at Birkenhead a junc
tion will be formed with the London and
Northwestern Railway and direct com
munication for the first time opened up
with the Great Western line. Nortn
Wales and its beautiful scenery will be
brought within three-quarter* of an
hour’s journey of the busy city. When
the approaches are completed the length
of the lunnel railway will exceed four
and a bait miles.
A L' OK AT THE CREOLES.
Crowds Gather to See Them—The Type
of Creole Beauty.
Before the Creole women, says a New
Orleans letter to the Baltimore American,
all the other attractions of the Crescent
City fade away. No better time than last
night, and few better places than the
Washington Artillery Hall could have
been chosen to view them at an advan
tage. These are the women who have
caused duels, inspired poetry, ele-vati and
mmners, made men happy or miserable,
and fixed for themselves a place in his
tory. Many ot their best and all of their
most fashionable representatives were
ttiere. They waited in tbeir carriages on
side streets until the beautiful pageant
of Mourns had passed, and then they pro
ceeiled to the ball, the nominal occa
sion laing the reception of R- x. where peo
ple from every State in the Union and
irom nearly everv country under the sun
had come to see tnein. Tnev were all
chaperoned, of course; for French and
Spanish ideas on the subject are firmly
fixed here. Over 1/00 people stood in tne
street to look at the ladie as they arrived
and entered the hall. They began to ar
rive about 0 o’clock, and an hour later
there w’as a tremendous jam of people at
the door, so that the ticket takers were
compelled for a time to refuse admittance
to eomeof the late arrivals. The capacity
of the hall for dancing is about 2,000. but
the number of people in the plac at one
time was nearly 5.000, making it impose -
b!e to form sets’. But lew of the guests
bad con e to dance. The native peop e
came chiefly to be present
fed to Rex, and tie stran
gers came for the purp.rse already
mentioned. Some of tne ladies turned
away from the place without entering at
all, rather than have the di-comtort ol
being in the great crowd. American girls,
natives of New Orleans, were there, ot
course, and they had pre-eminently the
charm that belongs to Southern women;
but i heir l*eauty was the beauty ot
the individual, ' and not like that
of the Creoles—the beauty of a
class. It is because of their attractions
as a class that the feminine Creoles are
famous. Any one of a hundred in the
great assembly might have been selected
as a type; and, briefly, their characteris
tics are dark brown or Mat k hair, brow n
eyes, intensely brilliant, a clear, soft,
oi ight complexion—at least in young peo
ple, and a form which Tborwaldsen would
have choseu of all others for his Venus.
But this is not all. They have voices that
would make a flute sound harsh, wiih a
slight accent something more than agree
able to persons living farther North, And
in conduct, although as gentle as the
breeze from the Gulf, they have latent
spirit which, when occasion requires,
transforms them into heroines. They ai>-
peared like this to the stranger at the re
ception last night, hut they are sten at
their best In tbeir homes, for home means
something to them like strong family ties.
Th©Cliin#-is Giant to ot Married.
St, Louie Sundny Saying*,
“I understand you are to be married
Chang. How is it?”
A slight smile passed over Chang’s
face—it took quite a while to get over It —
and a blu9n was just perceptible.
“Yes, 1 am to be married, though I ex
pect to go home to China first.”
“Who is the lady?”
“I would tather not tell her name. Sbo
lives in Kansas City. She is rich, and is
worth over $200,006. lam worth about
$150,000, and 1 think we will not be in
need when our marriage is consummated.
The lady is large in stature. She is six
feet six inches in height, and her dress
makes her look much larger. She is
an American lady, and lives with
her parents. She first saw mo on ex
hibition, and talked to me a loug while.
The next day I was sitting in a par
lor in a hotel, playing on the piano. I
can play nicely on the piano, and would
like you to hear me. Well, I was playing
on the piano when I heard the lady enter
the room. I turned and saw her. She
looked rather timid at first, and 1 said.
‘Come in, lady; 1 will not charge you 50
cents to hear and see me.’ She laughed
and acted more at ease. I played many
pieces, wbicb seemed to please her not a
IP tie. Finally I got up and placed one
hand on her snoulder, said she was a nice
big woman, and 1 would like to have her
for my wife. She laughed and ran mer
rily out of the room. A week later I re
ceived a letter from her father asking me
if 1 really wanted his daughter in mar
riage, and asking me what I intended to
do if married. I said I wanted his daugb
br, and would beoome a tea merchant.
The engagement was then made. 1 will
come to St. Louis, settle down here and
open a tea store.”
Mr. Cleveland Drops Into Slang.
Philadelphia Telegraph,
A story is told of a very deaf Philadel
phian who called on Mr. Cleveland soon
after the election. He had heard about
the influence Mr. Gorman, of Baltimore,
had over Mr. Cleveland, and be oalled to
warn him against “that crowd.” He
went into details to show him what a bard
lot the Baltimoreans were, and appeared
to know them all intimately. The Gov
ernor listened with all his ears, occasion
ally yelling “Yesl” or No!” into the horn
of the visitor’s ear trumpet, and never
suggesting that he had had about enough
of it. Presently Col. Lamont, who had
been sympathizing with his chief, had
occasion to leave tbo room. As he passed
in tne rear of the Governor his Excellency
still seemed intent on the old man’s re
cital, never taking his eyes from his face,
but as the private secretary got directly
behind him he heard the familiar voice
say in a wearisome aside: “Dan, this is
the worst racket I ever struck.” But
the visitor was lnnooent of all suspicion,
and Cleveland listened patiently till ho
finished.
KENTUCKY’S OLDEST MAN.
H* Marries Bla Fourth Wife at tb Ac*
of HO Tears, and Lives Fifteen Yeata
After That. #
( y (*e4nnati Enqwrtr.
Richmond. Kt., March 20.—1 have just
learned from a resident of Harlan county,
Kv., the history of a man whose longevity
reminds one ot the great Th mas Parr,
whose remains lie buried in England’s
famous charnel house, Westminster Ab
bey, for no other reason than that he was
the oldest man Great Britain bad ever
produced, and there was no cause to
think the ‘'Old World” would ever look
upon bis like attain.
Toe a ed Kentuckian in question was
beorge Burkhart, and one of the most
remarkable th ngsm connection with his
history is that it has never been pub
lished. But Harlan county is in the
m<>uutains and does not possess one of
those professional news gatherers, a
newspaper. Burkhart was born in Ger
many in the year 1725. Soon then after
he proceeded to Virginia, where be mar
ried This union produced him five chil
dren and his wife died. He married again,
and in the yer 1800 removed to Ken
tucky. He settled on Crank’s fork
Cumberland river, fourteen miles south
of Harlan court house, and, with his fam
ily, took shelter in an enormous hollow
sicamore tree. By the way, Harlan coun
ty is not wholly unlike the big tree
district of Calitornia. This tree was
lorty-five feet in circumference, and ne
cessarily fifteen leet ill diameter. In this
romantic abode he and bis wife and the
five children had beds, tallies, cbes's and
such other furniture and things as a wild
mountain home usually contains. Al
though toe frosts of seventy-five winters
rested on his ample brow, he did pot neg
lect that part of toe divine injunction
which says: ‘-Be ye tiuitful, multiply
and replenish the earth,” ior when the
requisite years had flown he was found to
possess by the second wife eight chil
dren. In the meantime he had built a
cabin and acquired 1,400 acres of good
land, and was one of the solid men ot the
county.
His second wife died and after a short
p* riod ot mourning he went to Virginia,
that generous old state that had already
furnished him two helpmeets, and be
married a third time. Her name was
Elizabeth Gra' ill, and she resided in Lee
county. Mr. Burkhart was now a cen
tenarian. He repaired to bis cabin beside
the faithful old tree, where they lived
happily for five years, and, it is said, a
child or two were born. This third ‘-bet
ter half’ of the old man died at the good
age of 70. The grief-stricken husband be
wailed her less even more bitterly than
those who had gore before her. But bis
days of sorrow were not many. He soon
turned out to the ‘-log-rolling” and quilt
in. s, which fashionable pastimes were
frequent in tbeir occurrence, and danced
witn the girls, entertained them vvitii his
comic songs, and was a regular gay old
deceiver, as giddv as a girl ot 15.
In the year 1840, *t the great age oi 110
years, be married a fourth tune. The
name of this last wife w* Lavenia M>-r
--rs, and her age was 85. Tne immense
disparity of age, 75 years, worked harm.
Dissensions arose and a separation fol
lowed. No children blessed this union,
and as all his others bad become giown or
died tne patriarch was left al die in the
cold, cold world. II s days ol frivolity be
now considered over. He was too old to
rudge about bis vast mountain farm, so
h applied more closely than ever to hi*
tavorite pursuit, that of a sorcerer. For
miles and miles around his powers were
recognized. Even in far away renms
see and Virgiuia, people who were
troubled with witches and other unseen
and direful enemies, applied to him tor
relief. His magic wand was invincible.
Bewitched stock and dogs and cats, as
well as human beings, were made whole
t trough his influence. Diagnosis was a
matter of hut a moment’s glance with
him. Occasionally a case was so stub
born that heroic treatment became neces
sary. This treatment consisted in draw
ing a picture of the particular wucti that
was ruling over tne patient. This picture
was pasted on a tree at ten paces, and
wriih an old-fashioned long squirrel rifle
lie would send a bullet crashing through
it. The shot d-stroyed the witch, and
the patient was free. Sorcery was a con
siderable source of revenue to the old
man.
Mr. Burkhart spoke German to tis chil
dren and bid English to others. His
educatii n was alight. He was a man
whose word was as good as his bond, and
who never tired in doing kind acts.
The wonderiul old man died in the year
1860 at the great age of 125 years. He had
a s >n who lived to be 90." Judge Noble
Smith, Mr. G. B. Turner and other good
citizens of Harlan knew Burkhart, and
'estily to the faets in this slab nient.
Two persons recently died in thaieounty
aged 98 anil 100 tears respectively. Several
•nore reside there who are equally as old.
It is thus seen that the iate Dr. Graham,
of Louisville, who celebrated the anni
versary ot his lOOrh birthday, was uot the
only centenarian in Kentucky.
SO APriiE-SA>S FOU SAMUEL
Farmer Tilden Lfinfit Iwo Choice Bar
rel* While sleeping He^vlij.
Mr. Samuel J. Tilden, the sage specu
lator of Gramercy i’ark, says the New
York Journal, was spr\ ly walking about,
his farm at Yonkers yesterday morn ini;
with a double-barrelled shotgun. The
niirht hebre some penp>e crawled through
the window of his smoke-hous*, and stole
two barrels of apples for sauce w’hich
Farmer Tilden had locked up there ior
safety. Mr. Tilden was sound asleep at
tne time, having done a hard day’s
ploughing, and did not hear the maraud
ers as they were making away with bis
apples. I' is supposed that Farmer Til
den’s dog was chloroformed, as one of Mr.
Tildea’s speeches, in which it is believed
a bottle of chloroform was wrapped up,
was found lying under the nose of the ani
mal.
There is no clew to the thieves. The
foot tracks, however, correspond to those
of a Democratic heeler wno used to come
to the Yonkers firm last summer to urge
Mr. Tilden to run for the Presidency.
Some sav that the ouirage serves Mr.
Tilden right ior having apples when his
neighbors bad none.
Mr. Tilden intends to sit up nights
with his remaining nine barrels of apples
and guard them with his shotgun.
Osman Digua Ml Horn Frenchman.
Jhs Citi*<sn.
It may not be generally known that Os
man Digna is a Frenchman by birth, and
was born in the year 1832 iu a small hotel
in Rouen. His father dying a year or
two alter, his mother married an Alexan
drian merchant in 1837, half French and
half Egyptian, of the name ol Osman Dig
na, who, taking a great fancy to young
O-man (at that time named Alphonse
Ymet), Insisted on having his name
changed to his own, and dying in 1842,
left him about 500,000 francs. After the
death of bis step-tutbcr he was left to the
guardianship of Ali Khana, a kind of half
partner of the elder Osman. A Mussul
man, who, at the death of Mrao. Digna,
iu 1844, t<>ok young Osman into bis bouse.
His religion at that time, being very much
ol the Christian unattached type, was
soon converted into Mohammedanism.
Ali Khana was a very wealthy man, and
lived iu great Oriental pomp and splendor.
Though intending to be very kind to young
Osman, bis kindness was ot a very Spar
tan order indeed. He had numerous pro
fessors for various branches of learning,
and would often be examined by Ali him
self, who. if he did not consider that be
had ma.de progress, would have him
severely bastinadoed.
At the age of fifteen he was sent to
Cairo to an ex-Ftench officer to be taught
the various methods of European war
fare. Capt. Meraie had some fifty boys
residing in his bouse studying war In ail
its branches, two or threo of whom have
since become famous, not least among
them being Arabi Pasha. It is strange,
as illustrating the old saying that “the
boy is father to the man,” that both Os
man and Arabi distinguished themselves
as leaders in the mimic battles fought in
the grounds of Capt. Meraie, the former
in a dashing, swooping kind of way, car
rying everything before him, and the lat
ter as a tactician. The consequence was
that a rivalry existed between the two,
both having about an equal number of
their schoolfellows siding with them.
Osman remained here until his nineteenth
year, when he was sent by bis guardian
to France on matters relating' to Ali’s
business.
In 1866 he obtained the command of bis
regiment, butshortly afterward, offending
the Khedive, he had to leave Egypt, and
had his property confiscated. He then
went to Suakin, and entered business as a
ship chandler and coal agent under an as
sumed name; but, while on a burning ex
pedition, he was captured by a roving
band of Arabs, and was vioid as a slave to
the man who at present calls himself the
Mahdi. The Mahdt was charmed with
his new slave as & man of unbounded
learning, and who would be abie to train
bis numerous supporters in the art ot
war. He gav© Osman his daughter in
marriage, and has ever since treated him

A COOKING CRAZE.
Taun( Women Practising on Toy Stores
—Qatar Dining Clubs and Costly Din
ners.
A regular cooking craze exist? in Phil
adelphia in the most fashionable circles.
Young women are infatuated in the study
of hw to make Irish stews, and the
greatest belles of the town spend hours
before pretty little toy stoves of their own
studying the mysteries of marmalade
and mayonnais. Tber~ are hall a dozen
or more notable cooking clubs for men
here, some ol which have achieved a wide
reputation. The State in Schuylkill, as
it is called, is the most famous. Lafa
yette undoubtedly sat at its board, and
there are traditions afloat of how the
Father ot bis Country, wi h an apron on
and his sleeves rolled up, pared potatoes
and helped make soup under its roof.
Lately the cluo cehbrated its 153d anni
versary. It owns an island in the river,
which, in the formation of theori .'nalUn
j ion,was left as a joke out of the country,a
principality In itself, and it is oalled the
State in Sehuv lkill Every member has to
don a peculiar costume and help Drepare
the and nner and brew the punch." Every
applicant for membership must serve an
apprenticeship at cooking before be is ad
mitted. The Rabbit Club is another cook
ing organization, and there are a number
more that combine fishing and rowii g
with the art of frying and broiling. There
are dozens of men in the Philadelphia
t luh who, if the chef does not get up a
souffle to suit tht mj can and otten do go
into the kitchen and cook it themselves.
Large sums of money are spent for din
ners, and the private dinners of some of
the old banks and trust funds are exceed
inly elaborate affairs.
A movement nas just begun to have
cooking taught in the Girls’ Normal
School, with a view of giving the teach
ers who go forth to the public schools
such a knowledge of it that they may be
able to make practical housekeepers of
the rising generation of girls. The la
dies at the head of this movement are
Miss Pendleton, the sister of the Hon.
George H. Pendleton, and Miss Mere
dith, a daughter of the late William M.
Meredith.
A dozen or more dining clubs have
sprung up, all of them unique. The Clo
ver Club, for instance, makes it a point to
invite any stranger of consequence who
happened to be in town on the set dates
of its monthly dinners. The result is
that Governors, patent medicine men,
statesmen, dentists, editors, song a-id
dance men, railroad Presidents, actors,
negro minstrels—a medley of the most
surprising character—meet around it fes
tal hoard. Every one is expected to con
tribute to the entertainment if called
upnn, and from the beginning until the
ending of the dinner someone is on the
floor singing, dancing, telling a story.raak
ing a speech, doing a card trick, or amus
ing the company in some original man
ner. Acors and others sometimes come
in disguised and kick up fictitious rows,
to be taken out by mock policemen. Be
tween times the whole company, number
ing a hundred or more, sing comic songs
and click their glasses in chorus. Every
one has to throw off dignity for the time
being, and no man is sate from jokes and
interruption while speaking.
All the leading jewelry stores In Phila
delphia display more china and dinner
table ware than anything else. Men are
employed in a number of establishments
w>o do noth ng but invent novel menu
cards and favors for dinners. Gold and
silver are trequently used. A great point
in a fashionatde dinner in Philadelphia is
to have a present or favor for each guest
that will be flue and different from any
thing ever seen at another dinner. Mrs.
George W. Guilds set a table for twenty
gu sts a tew weeks ago on which the deco
rations in china, silver and gold repre
sented an expenditure of $60,000.
IIIHAT. the ■ entre of threatened hoatili'irs
in ihe East, has for years past t een the gale
through which Manchester cottons and ali
coes Sheffield cutlery and Birmingham hard
ware have poured into Central Asia lo crowd
out Russian goods, 30,000.000 wor'h cf each
