2 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. SCHOOL STATISTICS. Commissioner Orr is preparing his report m the operation of the school system in Georgia, from which the Morning News ■eporter gathered the following statistics lor the year just closed: Percentum of white youths of school age m rolled 74.13, colored 50.52; whole per :entum (52.84, which compares favorably irith the most advanced States in the Union. The average attendance, estimated m the entire school population, is 44.51; the iverage attendance of those enrolled is •0.82. 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 THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1887. 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. John Boyle O’Reilly. 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 emerged from the theatre. “Yes, George; two dishes of ice cream," she murmured softly.— W\i*hinoton Critic.

A complete line of Seersucker Coats and Vr'-s: 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.
