A CHAPTER OF SCANDALS.
A SON’S ATTEMPT TO SHOOT HIS
FATHER’S PARAMOUR.
A Startling Scandal in Atlanta—A
Dentist’s Sons Warn Their Father’s
Paramour to Leave Town, but as
She Refuses They Attempt to Kill
Her—Other Sensations.
*
Atlanta, Ga., June 23.—This afternoon,
about 3 o’clock, an octoroon, named Rachel
Fleming, walked into the dentists’ shop of Dr.
Roderick Badger, on Peachtree street, where
the doctor and his two sons, Ralph and
Joshua Badger, were at work, and said:
“I understand, doctor, that your two sons
have stated oil the street that if I don’t
leave town, they intend to kill me. I want
to know if that is true?”
“Yes, it is,” said both boys, jumping up,
“And if you don’t get out of this office we
will kick you out, right now."
Upon this they rushed upon the girl. Dr.
Roderick Badger interfered, and after
struggle succeeded in ejecting the boys from
the office and closing the door. Joshua,
the younger boy, then ran into the tailor
shop of Rufus Cooper, ami taking a pistol
from a table drawer, ran back down the
hall tc his father’s office. Then Ralph and
Joshua forced the door ojieu and the latter
opened fire on Rachel Fleming, -
WHO RAN SCREAMING
behind a screen, wliilo Dr. Badger stood
in the door and yelled murder like a mad
man. Joshua Badger fired three shots at the
woman without striking her. He then
mounted the screen, and taking deliberate
aim fired the fourth shot, which also missed
its aim, and then the police rushed in and
put an end to the air ray by arresting all
concerned. Dr. Badger says that he took
charge of the girl, Rachel Fleming, two
years ago, at the request of Bishop
Turner, and has since fed, clothed
end schooled her. Ho says
that she lived a part of the time under liis
own roof and always Ix'haved herself. For
the past few months she has been living on
the Boulevard, where she worked at dress
making or did the washing for the Badger
dentist shop. The two sons say that the
girl is their father’s paramour; that he dis
graced his family by
BEGINNING AN INTIMACY
with her in his own house; that her trunk
was thrown into the street by their mother,
and the girl kicked out of the house; that
Dr. Badger then gave her a lot on the
Boulevard, where she has since lived, and
where he visited her almost daily, keeping
up the improper relations to the neglect of
his family. They warned her to leave town
or they would huij. her. They decided to
break up the intimacy between their father
and the girl, even if they had to kill her to
io it. A warrant was sworn out to-night
against Dr. Badger and the woman,
CHARGING THEM WITH ADULTERY.
The Badgers have hitherto stood well
here, and the racket of to-day amounts to a
sensation. Warrants will be sworn out to
morrow charging the Badger boys with
in assault with intent to murder.
POLICE PROTECTION GIVEN THE GIRL.
Rachel Fleming has asked the police to
guard her house to-night, as she fears the
triends of the Badger family will renew the
attack. The Badgers are all octoroons.
They are intelligent and respectable people.
Dr. Badger and his sons were educated in
dentistry at Philadelphia, and have many
white customers among the beet class horo.-
A BRUTE JAILED.
William Jones, colored, was committed
to jail to-day for a criminal assault on
Seiina Gordon, colored, near the Ponce
DeLeon Springs. The woman was quietly
walking along when he sprang from behind
i tree and felled her to the ground with a
big stick. She is strong, however, and
.'ought so vigorously that he failed to
accomplish his purpose.
CHARGED WITH ADULTERY.
Joe Cobb, a black negro, swore out a war
rant this afternoon against Dr. S. W. Gard
ner (white) and Mary Ella Hunt, an oc
;aroon, charging them with adultery. Dr.
Gardner lives on Marietta street, enjoys a
:air practice, and has a wife and several
thildren. He adopted Mary Ella Hunt sev
eral years ago, and she lived in the house as
me of the family. Both waived prelimi
lary trial before Justice Butt and gave
xmd for their appearance at the Superior
3ourt. Joe Cobb was once in the employ of
Or. Gardner.

NO CONVICTS KILLED.
die and Slanderous Stories Set Afloat
by a Dissolute Negro.
Athens, Ga., June 23. Col. J. R. Tow
rs and Messrs. E. T. Shu brick and J. E.
ichofleld returned to the city this morning,
if ter visiting the convict camps of Hon.
fames M. Smith. Col. Towers said that ho
tad thoroughly investigated the charge
iginst Mr. Smith for the killing of two con
note, and found the report utterly false,
dr. Smith, in the first place, does not work
tie convicts on Sunday, and on the day the
wo men were reported to have been killed,
here was preaching at the time. There is
10 wheat planted on the farm worked by
he convicts, and all the grain on the other
dentations is cut entirely by reairs. Mr.
imith stated that his convicts were never in
, better condition, and there has not been a
ieith in the camp for eighteen months. The
landorous report against Mr. Smith was
irculated by a notorious negro living in
kthens, by tne name of Dave Runce. Dave’s
tatement is that he passed by the camp on
Sunday and saw several convicts cutting
wheat, and that two of them refused to
work and were shot hy tho guards while
rying to escape. Since the truth of the
Jfair has lieen sifted out ami Col. Smith
ound innocent, Bum* denied ever making
he statement. It is understood that ho will
ie prosecuted for slander.
UNFOUBDED CONVICT HUMORS.
Atlanta, June 23.—The sensational
(imors of the killing of the convicts
t Mr. Smith’s Oglethori>e camp,
roved unfounded. Ciipt. Towers ami
fessrs. Hhuhrick and Schofield returned
-day from a visit to the camp, where Mr.
•rnith gave them every opportunity for
heir investigation. The only foundation
Dr the killing was that a convict attempted
o escape, and was abot at three
Imoe; lie was followed by
ogs and captured. Mr. Smith is
hargod with eighty-eight convicts, and
hey nil answered “present” at roll call. As
D the charge of working the convict* cut
ing wheat on Sunday there was no proof
rhatever, but he admitted that a few con
icte asked, on two or throe occasions, to
ut green food for the stock on Sunday.
THE COMMITTEE IN SESSION.
The investigating committee met this
ftemoon. There were present Meows,
luff, Harrison and Schofield. The main
msiness was the examination of J. VV. Eug
•h, Mr. Tower's partner. The testimony
ras of little imiiortance as to tho abuses,
•ut his opinions on certain questions wore of
Bterest.. As to whether working convicts
or a third party is a violation of the lease
ontrie t lie di<i not know. As to whether
bo State could profitably work tho
buviets he did not think it praetico
d®, as it would bo necessary Air the
ituto to appropriate >1,000,000 to'inaugurate
t, which Georgia legislators were not
.kly to do. Also, as to whetl ler the cou
a Bet* cyiljl fy sticeessfullv worked on iV
State farm, Mr. English was satisfied that
farming could not lx- successfully carried on
by convict labor. Grant and Simpson
originally tried farming with the con
victs but failed. Mr. English threw
light on the question frequently
asked. It has been hold that the original
lessees, who sold out, were still held by the
State liable on their original bonds. ' But
the purchasers have given the original
lessees indemnifying bonds. Mr. English
gave Capt. Grant a *37,000 I Kind. Senator
Brown will cotno before the committee to
morrow morning.
FUNERAL. OF MISS HARDEMAN.
Universal Respect Paid Her Memory
—College Commencements.
Macon, Ga., June 21! —The largest and
one of tlie saddest funerals in the history of
this city was that of Miss Jessie Hardeman,
daughter of Hon. Thomas Hardeman, which
took place from the First Baptist church
this morning. Her sudden death, of conges
tion, which occurred early yesterday morn
ing, shocked the entire community and cast
a pall even over business. Miss Hardeman
was an accomplished vocalist , and as such
enjoyed u Htate reputation. This, combined
with a perfect character, made her a popu
lar idol. The church was densely packed,
not even standing room, and the exercises,
conducted by Revs. Dr. Warren and Win
chester, were solemn and impressive.
MT. DESALKS COMMENCEMENT.
The eleventh annual commencement of
Mt. DeKales Acadomy occurred this morn
ing. Contrary to the usual custom, the ex
ercises were not public, only the relatives
and most intimate friends being present.
The exercises consisted almost entirely of
awarding the medals and premiums to the
pupils winning distinction in the various
departments. There were quite a number
given.
MERCER’S COMMENCEMENT TO-NIGHT.
Mercer commencement opens Friday
evening with a champion debate between
the Phi Delta and Ciceronian societes.
BOSTON’S BUDGET.
Disturbance Caused by a Poor Old
Gopher—A Unique Sign.
Boston, Ga., June 23. —Trade is getting
scarce in this classic city. One of our mer
chants took a gopher from a customer yes
terday in exchange for goods and laid him
away in the house. In the deep night, when
tho thermometer was so high that it was
real proud, there was an unusual scuffling
and scratching in the building. The
merchant, hearing the noise, thought a bur
glar was present, and instead of drawing a
Smith & Wesson’s improved and making an
investigation, ho fled to the cool retreat of
an adjoining stoop and called for help, which
soon arrived, and when the burglar was
found he proved to be the poor old gopher.
The “boys” are having lots of fun out of tho
Incident.
Mr. O. P. Bennett, a prominent merchant
of this place, has a very unique sign. The
word “Hardware” is painted as follows:
The letter “H” is made of a shovel and
spade, with a strap hinge, and each letter is
made from some article to be found in a
hardware store. It is doubtful if there is
another like it in existence.
A kiln of 125,000 brick is being made to
build a cotton warehouse here. Boston will
soon have two cotton houses.
There is a report that the depot of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
was entered by burglars at Dixie a few
nights ago. They got nothing hut a few'
do flare in change that was left in the draw'er.
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Prominent Names Mentioned The
New Receiver of Public Moneys.
Tallahassee, Fla., June 22.—Gov.
Perry has not yet appointed the Railroad
Commissioners, nor has he in any way in
dicated whom he will appoint. Applicants
are still pressing their 80 -called claims,
and many persons in different por
tions of the State are being spoken of.
Some think that Hon. C. M. Cooper, the
present Attorney General, can have a place
on the commission if he desires it. His
present office is a very responsible one, hut
the salary is so small that a first-class man
can ill afford to fill it for any length of
time. Among the other names mentioned
by outsiders are Judge A. E. Maxwell, of
Pensacola; Judge E. J. Vann, of Madison;
Hon. John T. Leslie, of Tampa, several of
Jacksonville, and one or two from South
Florida. Plenty of time still remains for
the appointments to be made.
Mr. John T. G. Crawford, the newly ap
pointed Receiver of Public Moneys at Gaines
ville, has been in the city during the past
few days receiving the congratulations of
his friends. Mr. Crawford is very young for
such a responsible office, but ho is fully
qualified.
Fatal Affray at Ringgold.
Ringgold, Ga., June 23.—Two men
named Dennis and Clark, living near this
place, quarreled over the result of a lawsuit
mid Dennis cut Clark’s throat. Clark's
brother then attacked Dennis and received
several dangerous wounds, and when the
father of Clark rushed into the fray he was
stabbed to death.
Diphtheria Diagnosed.
From the St. Louis Republican.
At a recent meeting of the St. Louis
Medical Society Dr. 1. N. Love, President
of the Mississippi Medical Association, road
quite a lengthy paper on the subject of
‘•Diphtheria.” Ho opened his argument by
stating that diphtheria was a disease which,
under various names, had existed for many
hundreds of years, and 1 icing so widely dif
fused and so destructive in its results, it
mast alwuys be of interest to the student of
medicine. Not until 1859 did
English medical literature adopt
the name, when the Sydenham society pub
lished a volume of memoirs on the disease;
translated from the Freueh by Brolonneau
and others. More authors agreed that the
disease was specific, infectious and conta
gious, sometimes pi availed as an epidemic,
and was epidemic in certain places, and that
it was characterized by the exudation in
various situations: particularly on mucous
membranes, and the surfaces of wounds, of
a pseudo-membrane compos'd of ex minted
flbris and epithelial cells, more or less
organized: that it was usually con
stitutional, and when so more or less
asthenic. The doctor desired to express his
belief that the two affections, laryngeal
diphtheria and membraneous croup, wore
identical. The fact that such excellent au
thorities ns Prank, of Germany. Dr. Hiller,
Dr. George Johnson, Sir William James
and Morel! Mackenzie, of England, and our
own Jacobi, of America, were of the same
opinion, strengthened him in this belief.
Of nearly 100 medical Journals, both for
eign and domestic which had come under
the doctor’s observation each month during
the past two years, there had hardly liecn
an issue which hud not contained numerous
suggestions regarding the treatment of
diphtheria. Even the secular journals were
not considered abreast of the times unless
their various numbers predicted a for
mulae for tho suppression of the
disease. Ho believed the changes
were more frequently rung on sulphur than
any other one remedy by lay journals. Tho
isolation of the patient should be complete;
his disinfection and thut of his surroundings
should be thorough. The liest disinfectant
for soil, vessels and sewers was a solution of
common copperas, one pound to the gallon
of water—beside being elilcient, it whs
cheap. The most desirable for clothing,
bed linen, etc., was five ounces of sul
phate of zinc and two ounces of com
mon salt to the gallon of water. Carbolic
acid was objectionable in that it must lie
used strong to be efficient, and by its all
|iervnding odor it gave a false" sense of
security. Ho made it a rule to give good
whisky or brandy lilx>rally. He instructod
at the same time that a supply bo gotten,
not from the average drug store, but from
a first class liquor dealer, one who was a
specialist in the business, for there was
great, risk in freely administering bad

FANEUIL HALL'S RIOTING.
THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY THREAT
ENED BY THE QUEEN'S HATERS.
The Crowd Charged and Trampled
Upon by Mounted Police—Ha
ranguing the Mob from Sam Adams'
Statue—A Defender of the Queen
Nearly Killed—None to Respond to
the Toast, “The President.”
Tho following special of June 21 to the
World from Boston, gives a graphic des
cription of the attempt of the Irish Ameri
cans in that city to prevent the British
Americans from celebrating the jubilee in
Faueuil Hull:
It was only through elaborate prepara
tions and hard work by the police that a
mob was prevented from attacking Faneuil
Hall to-night and driving out those who
1 were celebrating the Queen’s jubilee. Since
the agitation over tho question of permit
ting Faneuil Hall, the “cradle of liberty,”
to be used by those who wished to honrr
the Queen, a feeling of indignation has
lieon raised. The Aldermen voted to let the
hall to the British Charitable Society, and
then were petitioned to revoke the permit.
Many prominent persons opposed tho action
of the city fathers, and the matter was
brought before them again for reconsidera
tion. On the vote tho Aldermen decided, 6
to 0, not to rescind the order, six Irish-
Ainorionn Aldermen favoring the with
drawal of the permit. A delegation of citi
zens then waited on the Mayor, but he re
fused to interfere, on tho ground'of lack of
power to override the vote of the Aldermen
in a matter that was wholly in their discre
tion. Faneuil Hall has been frequently
used for home rule meetings.
Yesterday those opposed to allowing the
use of Faneuil Hall to this society found
that their efforts were of no avail, and they
openly declared that if the friends of the
Queen dared to enter Faneuil Hall they
would be mobbed and driven off. John
Boyle O'Reilly, who is oneof the best known
Irish-American residents, denounced the
British Society, and many others whose
voices carry weight used their influence
against the jubilee ceremonies. While they
did not advise violence, their sentiments in
tensified the feeling against the friends of
the Queen.
The police were informed to-day that pre
parations were making to attack Faneuil
Hall to-night and drive the British-Ameri
cans from the streets wherever they were
found. The society also heard of the
threats, anil asked the Mayor for police pro
tection. The Superintendent of Police was
notified that he would be held responsible
for the safety of lily and property, and it is
said that two companies of militia were
held in their armories under orders. The
evidences of a determined spirit of violence
were such that all the day force and every
policeman that could be drawn from posts
uptown were ordered to report at the sta
tions near Faneuil Hall at (i o’clock. The
force of mounted police who patrol the
parks and suburban districts was ordered to
report at police headquarters.
This afternoon the British Charitable So
ciety went on a picnic to Oak Island, and
on their return the banquet was awaiting
them at Faneuil Hall. Long before they
got back a crowd began to gather in Dock
square and the streets in the immediate
vicinity of the hall. Although the banquet
was not to be ready until 8 o’clock, tho
crowd was on hand soon after 6 and kept
growing in numbers. A detail of some 200
jx tlieeineu was present t< > surround the build
ing and keep the crowd moving. They
were busily employed in this until 7 o’clock,
when the proportions of the gathering wore
such that word was sent that knots of men
were scattered about the streets and could
not ho moved. Details were sent to rein
force the men already on the ground, and
before long tho four streets that surround
the hall were cleared.
It was not half an hour, however, before
the crowd hail again doubled, and the pres
ence of so many policemen seemed to irri
tate them. They veiled at the officers and
paid no attention to their orders unless
backed up by a liberal use of the clubs. Tho
crowd surged in through the side streets,
and drove the police before them until they
had reached the entrance to Faneuil Hall,
where the police made a stand. The crowd
Sashed up to the building and calk’d for the
ritish-Americans to come out and settle
the Irish question then and there. Then
they pointed to the windows and shouted to
the police to make way or they would be
driven off. The lights in the hall were turned
down and sojne one yelled that tho British
ers had not yet arrived. This information
was greeted with cries of:
“Line up around the door!”
“We’ll nx them when they come!”
“Shoot tho Britishers-1”
A rush was made for the doors, and it
was only by closing them and massing two
or three hundred policemen in front of the
mob that they were kept out of the hall.
The rapidly increasing numbers and tho
violent disposition of the crowd alarmed the
police, and word was sent to police head
quarters for more reinforcements. In
answer to this a troop of twenty mounted
police galloped down through Dock Square
and reined up in front of Faneuil Hall. They
were at once surrounded by the crowd, who
hissed them, but fell back when the reserves
began to arrive from a halfdozen stations.
Wliilo the new arrivals were massing on
Market street a band was heard in the rear
of the hall, and a rush was made in that
direction. A cart containing ice cream for
the banquet was standing at the rear
entrance, and the horses were sent away on
a gallop, scattering the freezers in tho street.
The mob halted for a moment at the rear of
the hall, when someone shouted:
“Go in and clean out the place!” Before
an effort could be made to force an en
trance the troop of mounted police swept
around the corner of the building and cut a
passage through the crowd. The charge
was so sudden that many were knocked
down and trodden under foot, and a howl
of curses and threats wont up from the mob.
Bricks ami clubs were thrown at the
mounted officers, and the crowd was gath
ering again when a large detail of police
came up from South Market street, and
with their clubs beat the mob away from
the doores. The crowd moved back to a pile
of bricks and building material in front of
the Produce Exchange, but were scattered
again by the mounted police, who charged
them at full speed and rode upon the heels
of the crowd. While the howling, cursing
mob was engaged in the rear by
the mounted police and those on foot,
who used their clubs freely and received the
yells and hisses and an occasional brickbat
front the rioters, a detail of officers cleared
the space in front of Faneuil Hall, and drove
the scattered crowd up into Dock square.
Half a dozen policemen then leaped from a
patrol wagon nnd with heavy sledge-ham
mers drove iron stakes into the pavement.
A chain was stretched across the street and
a cordon of police was drawn up in front of
it,. The patrol wagon then went around to
Market street and, with stakes nnd chains,
cut off the entrance in that direction. By
the time the streets surrounding the hall hail
been roped off the police hail driven the
rioters from the rear of the hall, out through
the side street, nnd the jiolice on foot were
left to guard the side entrances.
The people thus expelled from the rear of
the hall flix’ked around to Dock Square, ex
pecting to get at the entrance to the build
ing in this way. When they found their
approach unexpectedly cut off they swarmed
into l>x k Square and surged down against
the cordon or police. In less than ten min
utes the great square was crowded in all
directions by * bowling, Infuriated mob.
The riotei-s shouted at the police and swore
at the Britishers and yelled their threats of
violence. The pressure against the police
in front of the chains wus such that there"
was danger that the mob would sweep the
police away and push through into Dock
Sauare. The mounted police were again
called upon and with a clatter of hoofs they
swept up to the ropes. In anothor moment
they rushed into tlio mob. So tightly were
' i . > “*yl - t*}**’iv Ti’d**#!
jammed into the outlet of the square, that
it was impossible for the crowd to
get out of the way. The police forced their
horses into the struggling crowd, and the
animals reared and plunged while the police
re ached here nnd there and struck down as
many as their clubs could touch. The terri
fied crowd yelled with fear nnd scrambled
in all directions to avoid the horses. Many
wore strnck and knocked down, but were
carried away without their names being
known. Sergt. Keelan, of tho mounted
squad, headed the charge, which was made
under Ills orders, and forced his horse into
the middle of the crowd near the Adams
statue, in Adams square. Joseph Horn,
aged 11, was knocked down and trampled
under the horse’s hoofs. He was picked up
insensible and taken into the Quincy House,
where he recovered consciousness, and was
soon removed to his home. He is believed
to have suffered internal injuries, but will
probably recover.
After this charge by the police Dock
Square was cleared and the crowd swarmed
into Adams Square. They' crowded up
around the statue of Samuel Adams and
half a dozen stump speakers climbed up on
its sides and addressed tho crowd. They de
nounced in violent terms the British, and in
an excited manner urged the mob to attack
tlie police and drivo them away from
Faneuil Hall. While the speakers, who
dung to tho bronze statue for support, were
inciting tho rioters by incendiary speeches,
t,he report was shouted that the police had
just killed a little boy. At this one of the
orators raised his hat and said:
“My God, has it coni" to this? To support
the British dogs the Boston police have
trodden to death an innocent lad. It is time
that the Englishmen who wear badges of
American police be driven into the river.
What resolution can we adopt for a fitting
arraignment?”
For several minutes the incendiary speech
continued, and the crowd below vented their
rage in yells of:
"D n the Queen!”
“Bum the hall!”
“Down with the Britishers!”
“Drive off the police!”
“Down with Faneuil Hall!”
The mob was growing excited, and it was
deemed unsafe to allow the speeches to con
tinue. The police wore ordered to charge
the crowd, and they did so, the mounted
officers driving into the mob at full speed,
while the policemen on foot followed close
behind, anil scattered theothers by a liberal
use of their clubs.
Dock square and the crowd about the
Adams monument being cleared, the divided
mob rushed into Brattle, street. At the cor
ner of Brattle square a man wearing the
badge of the British Society' stood up and
started to say in a loud voice why the de
monstration against the Queen was wrong.
He had barely' said enough to identify him
self with the friends of the Queen when he
was set upon from all sides and knocked
down. The infuriated rioters beat him un
mercifully' and tore his hut and coat from
him. Rising to his feet, he was knocked
down again and his face terribly pounded.
There is little doubt that he would have been
killed but for the timely' appearance of the
police, who scattered the crowd and res
cued him.
After this the crowd became scattered,
and as fast as they again collected the police
charged them and drove them up the street.
If it had not been for the large body of
police early on the ground and their activity
in all directions there is little doubt that
Faneuil Hall would have been sacked and
the British Society attacked and driven
away. Several persons were injured by the
charges of the police, but they managed to
get away with the help of” their friends
without their names being known. Boston
has not seen so infuriated a gathering since
the draft riots of war times.
In the hall the noise and threatening yells
of the crowd outside could be plainly heard.
The banquet was spread for 525 persons, but
only 400 sat down to the dinner. A large
number of ladies were frightened awav by
the threats that had been made of an attack
on the hall, and those who did go paid more
attention to the windows, in fear of bricks
and other missiles, than to the dinner or the
speeches.
After the banquet James Wemyss, Jr.,
who presided, introduced the Rev. Frederick
Courtenay', of St. Raul’s church, who re
plied to the toast, “Tho Queen.” The other
toasts were responded to by' Dr. William C.
Brylan, Dr. Derrick (colored), of New York,
and several others. No one wished to re
spond to the toasfcto the President, although
Col. Saltonstall, Collector of Revenue, was
called upon. The demonstrations of the
crowd about the hall hud a decidedly damp
ening effect upon the banqueters.
The following is a copy of the cable dis
patch sent by' the Rev. P. A. McKenna in
accordance with the vote of the meeting at
Fanueil Hall last night to protest against
allowing the use of the “Cradle of Liberty”
for exercises in connection with the Queen’s
jubilee:
Boston, June 20.
To Editor O'Brien, United Ireland Office,
Dublin:
Immense mass meeting of Boston citizens
unanimously protest against celebration of
Queen’s Jubilee here. Tory' misrenresentations
will not prevail. J". A. McKenna,
Vice President National League.

Buffalo Bill in Bondon.
Mr. George W. Smalley writes to the
Tribune to detail an episode of Buffalo
Bill’s London career. All the world knows,
by cable nnd otherwise, that he was on
Lord Charles Beresford’s drag at the meet
of the Coaching Club in Hyde Park. He
was the feature" of that gathering. The
Princess of Wales herself was less an object
of interest, or, at any rate, of curiosity.
But there was an unreported incident.
Count Herbert Bismarck was then in Lon
don, as he is now. He went to the meet and
was seen by Lord Charles, who hailed him
and asked him to come up on his coach.
Count Herbert accepted this invitation,
climbed aloft and was assigned a place
on tho seat behind the box seat. He ob
served in front of him and next to Lord
Charles, a big, powerful man with long
lmir and what is here called a sombrero.
Presently he was introduced to this person
age as Col. the Hon. William F. Cody. The
son of the imperial chancellor of Germany
possibly wondered who Col. the Hon. Wil
liam F. Cody was, and pretty certainly oc
cupied his mind with speculations on the
greatness of this unknown hero who was so
conspicuously preferred before him. There
is no human being stiffer than your Prus
sian on points of etiquette; noue, on the
whole, so stiff. When Count Herbert Bis
marck returns to Berlin he will have it to
relate that, the man in whose favor he him
self was relegated to a bar* seat was an
Americun, joint proprietor of an establish
ment sometimes called Cody’s circus.
London, however, having sometime since
set up Buffalo Bill as an idol, and fallen
down before and worshipedhim, and burned
inrenso before him, is still well content with
its new image. He is liked as well as
lionized. His nerves are not fluttered by
contact with fashion. He takes what comes
to him with coolness and as if it were quite
a matter of course. Whether nt luncheon
or a dinner party or an evening crash, our
long-haired handsome giant has every art
of being at home. Why should ho not?
It must be easier to be the centre of
half a dozen, pretty women’s admiring at
tentions than a target for red Indian bullets.
“Have you met Buffalo Bill?” queried one
"smart” young man about town to another,
“smarter,” if not younger. “Yes, often.”
"What was he doing?” “Mostly' playing
poker with Duchesses.” This may lx- only a
vivacious form of expressing the extent of
Col. Cody's intimacy with the most exulted
society, but, with or without the poker, of
tho intimacy there can be no doubt.
"Isn’t there anything you would rather have
than a dish of ice cream?” he asked ns they

“Yes, George; two dishes of ice cream," she
murmured softly.— W\i*hinoton Critic.

EFFECT OF BATHING ON BEAUTY.
The Art of Dancing: AH Night and
Going Home Fresh in the Morning.
From, the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Ladies in New York are getting more and
more into the way of resorting to the Turk
ish bath as a means of restoring color to the
cheeks and brightness to the eyes after a
night of dissipation. I know a girl whose
complexion is of the clearest, but who has
left the ball-room many a time as early as 3
o'clock, so fearful is she of injuring her
greatest charm. She heard of the Turkish
bath, and, therefore, risked dancing
until 5 and after the other morn
ing. From the ball-room she
went directly to the bathing estab
lishment, feeling as if the entire
world saw her inflamed eyes and sunken
cheeks. From tho office she was conducted
to a box of a room about as large as a sec
tion in a sleeping car. And when iny
friend had removed her garments, which
she accomplished with some hesitation at
the last (it did seem so unnatural to have no
long inclusive gown to throw over the
rapidly appearing body), she docided that,
as she was in for it any way, she would not
bother with the poor protection of a towel,
but would face the bath with bold sim
plicity. The attendant returned shortly
and seemed so utterly devoid of conscious
ness, so far as seeing was concerned,
that the new customer regained
somewhat her composure. She was
led into an iron-walled room, where the
air was so hot that the perspiration started
at once from every pore. She was told to
sit down—there were several chairs for the
purpose—and to wait until called for. The
boat was surprisingly great, but after a mo
ment it produced the languid feeling that is
perfectly delicious to a tired body. The at
tendant reentered shortly, and bound a wet
towel about the new customer’s head. It
began to steam almost immediately. Five
minutes of this and it became uncomforta
ble, ten a torture, fifteen frightful, and the
last live of the twenty minutes were
simply immeasurable suffering. Then a
strong, motherly-looking woman came in.
She had on a loose gown that had no sleeves
and fell only to the knees.
“How long must I stay here?” exclaimed
the suffering customer.
The attendant ran her hand along the
dear girl’s back and limbs, and said:
“You seem to have sweated pretty well;
I guess you can come along now.”
They went into a room adjoining. It was
nearly as hot as the first. There was a table
in it on which the parboiled girl w T as re
quested to lie down. Then the stalwart at
tendant rubbed and scrubbed and lathered
her for several minutes, and scraped her
with a brush, and kneaded her flesh until it
seemed as if her very bones must have felt
the cleansing effect of the operation. The
attendant was puffing and blowing from the
exertion when she told tho customer to sit
up, and weut to a hose that lay in
nocently coiled up at one end of the
room. Without more than a “sit still now,
please,” she began to play a cooling stream
of water on the lathered and glowing girl.
The word cooling is used advisedly, for as it
played it rapidly grew chilly and presently
the dear girl was spluttering a helpless plea
for a change. The contrast with tne intense
heat she had endured was tremendous. The
attendant dropped tho hose when she thought
best, but before the poor, innocent customer
could rejoice at the relief, she was being
pounded with the icy cokl blows of a shower
bath. It was agony itself and it seemed
as if every inch of her glistening cuticle
were being overlaid with pricking icicles.
But this, too, had its end, and the novice
was all but crying with weariness and tor
ture when the attendant led her into an
other room and began to dry her. When
the water had been fairly removed from her
body she was wrapped in a blanket and
taken to her room.
“How long will you sleep?” asked the at
tendant.
“Why, I don’t want to sleep at all,” re
plied the customer. “I want to go home.”
But she was told she would have to lie
there awhile anyway, and that she would
surely fall asleep, 'so she would better say
when she wanted to get up. She named the
hour, and was tucked up in her bunk. She
was still perspiring, and in two minutes was
sound asleep. She was awakened promptly,
and her eyes feeling heavy and her body
wean", was told to get into a tank of water
sunk "in the floor of still another room, into
which she had been led. The
water was chilly and she was glad to get
out of it hastily. It was the last torture.
She was rubbed with alcohol to prevent her
from taking cold and then permitted to
dress. AVhen the dear girl got home it was
just her time for breakfast. She slipped
into the house unobserved and promptly ap
peared in the dining-room, feeling as bright
and vigorous as if she had had a full night’s
sleep, and betraying not the slighest sign of
her dissipation.
