' ' DIVORCED PROM MUSIC.
MONKEYS
Observations or the Recent
Bill Nye’a ihibitory Police Order.
rc om the fletv York World.
Fr and bears are now held by the
Monkeyon Counsel to be obnoxious animals
Corporatty, and orders have been issued to
in this cU m whenever found. Every effort
quell forth to extend the limits of
is being dtfg here and to enforce the game
human! every instance. Monkeys are a
laws in/anyway, and bears are unsatisfac
luxuryyo a great degree. No one ever
tory f just how to take a bear, and that
now so many people do not make the ef
rt lie theory that music should in all cases
Tfiocompauied by a restless monkey, with
j /tail extending through the seat ‘ of his
- ntaloons, is entirely erroneous, and it is
aratlfying to know that the mangy and
pverestimated son of song cannot go
about New York assessing people with a
high hand any more without violating the
law.
The common American bear is also a
pest, and a thickly settled community like
New York ought to hold out every induce
ment for willing him out. If the country
would offer a liounty for every boar killed
outside of Wall street it would be a good
thing. I never feel any unworthiness so
much anywhere else as I do in the pres
ence of a loose bear. Once I met one at the
foot of Sheep Mountain years ago and I
know he must have formed a jioor opin
ion of me for he did not see my best
side.
Tame bears make good pet and generally
outlive from four to six owners. A German
restaurant-keeper bv the name of Fischer,
at Laramie City, Wyo., once owned a pet
tear which he* called William. Williajn
would frequently come and eat out of Mr.
Fischer’s hand and he endeared himself to
one and all for several years. But one dav
the relations between Mr. Fischer and "Wil
liam became strained, and after eating out
of his master’s hand for a little while he de
cided to top off with the hand. Boars can
never hope to get ahead so long as they live
from hand to mouth that way.
Bears will not only resent an injury but
they will also resent anything else that they
can get hold of. There are three
meeting an infuriated bear. One is to look
at him in a reproachful way till he feels
ashamed of himself and goes away to live it
down. Another is to heat him to insensi
bility with the clinched hand, and still an
other is to place one of your coat-tails in
his mouth and lead him so far away
from his home that he cannnot find his
way back. You can then dispatch him
at your leisure. Boar multiply rapidly and
are also quick in subtraction. If the police
carry.out strictly the new rule regarding
monkeys and bears an unarmed man can go
from Central Park to the Battery without
an escort.
The rule will ndt affect music generally
throughout the city. The man with the port
able piano still “the affrighted air with a
shudder bore,” to use the language of the
poet in anew way. The fortissimo gentle
man who whistles for a livelihood at Pier 6,
at so much per strain, will probably complete
his summer engagement also.
The strolling minstrel who plays the flute
witli his nose, and the deaf old lady near
Bryant Park who has made a large fortune
with a hand organ because it does not make
any noise and she is too deaf to know about
it, will both go ahead with their good work,
but monkeys and bears will please keep off
the grass.
On second thought, it might not be best
to give a bounty for the scalps of beers
here, for it would open the way for abuses
of various kinds. A bounty of $25 was of
fered for every bear’s nose brought to the
Register of Deed’s office in a certain county
in New England a few years ago, and the
Treasurer paid 0ut.51,500, it is said, for bear
snouts, which he now finds are made of vul
canized rubber.
A schoolmate of mine is now engrossed oh
a three years’ contract, at the Joliet peni
tentiary, in Illinois, for buying wo If-seal ns
in Montana, where wolf scalps are within the
reach of all, and bringing them into Illinois,
where there was more of a demand and
better rates. And still it is held that inter
state commerce is going to help all kinds of
business.
But the law to suppress bears here will be
productive of great good. They have never
been of any use according to history, ex
cept when Elijah fed a whole primary school
to these animals for speaking disrespect
fully of his baldness, and even that has been
severly criticised by other bald-headed men
since.
I don’t think that I could ever win the
affection of a bear so that he would re
member me after I was gone. The affec
tions of a bear are not lasting. He may like
u mun for a few moments, but after he has
eaten the features off aud the man’s beauty
is therefore marred the bear seeks out anew
face. ®
I am glad it Is not customary to call out a
bear every time any one said something re
flecting on a bald-headed man. for if they
did so now the gentlemen who sit on the
front row at the Fall of Babylon would
keep a menagerie pretty busy this summer.
That is the reason wo have decided to pay
no attention to such talk. Bill Nyk.
A LITTLE BRASS PIN.
How It Brought Good Luck to a Citi
zen of Houston County.
fYoni the Macon Ufa.) Telegraph.
The horse shoe, as an emblem of good
luck, has at last been discounted, and by a
rusty pin at that. Among the many South
ern legends that havo survived time and
circumstance, is one whose significance is
that if you And an old rusty pin and give it
to any one with the point to them, it will
bring them goo 1 fortune. Whether or not
this is altogether true cannot tie said; but
that it has proven true in at least one in
stance, the following will undoubtedly
show;
Among the worthy citizens who live in the
wjjjkhborhood of Loviila, Houston county,
•■Mr. John Gray, whom everybody in that
section knows, and knows favorably. Mr.
Bray has had (he misfortune to be a helpless
cripple and invalid all his life. Like the
majority of those similarly affected, he
is of a nervous temperament, and the
smallest thing out of the usual line excites
him.
This by way of preface.
On last Sunday Mr. Gray was visited by
Mr. Frank Gunn, a neighbor. After spend
ing some tiiue pleasantly together, Mr.
Gunn aroso to leave. As ho did so his eye
caught the sight of an old rusty pin lying
on the floor. He picked it up, and remem
bering the old superstition connected with
tl‘gi\ingot pins, referred to above, handed
it to Mr. Gray coupled with a good wish.
’"lie next time Mr. Gunn saw Mr. Gray
was a day or two afterward. The first,
thing that attracted the former’s attention
was ili,. old rusty pin in Mr. Gray's shirt
‘font where the latter had placed it.
“The pin has brought me the luck, Frank,
just as you wished,” exclaimed Mr. Gray,
'icfore Mr. Gunn had time to inquire the
cause of the pin’s being displayed so con
spicuously in his shirt.
"Tell me about it,” asked Mr. Gunu, ex
cited almost, as much as Mr. Gray, whose
good fortune had wrought him up to such
sn unusual pitch,
"This is how it was—You see this old
chair that I have iieen sitting in so very
haig? Well the other day it became so rick
ety that I feared it would come to pieces,
mid concluded to give it an overhauling.
J got a hammer and liegan to work on it.
I had scarcely hit it a lick before something
icil out of the bottom. To my astonish
ment, it proved to be a S2O dollar gold piece.
1 kept on hammering av.ay, and piece after
piece foil until it amounted to over $200,”
and Mr Gray’s eyes fairly danced us he
narrated the wonderful story.
Mr. Gunn was incredulous, of course, un
til he saw tho money, which was soon
brought forth and examined. The dates
put buck as far as 1850, and must have been
m the leather bottom of the chair for several
years.
The question wax, How did it get there!
'***'• Gray, while enjoying whatever hi*
emifort or appetite called frr, had never
had so much money at one time m his life.
In fact, a single twentv-dollar gold piece
was to him, in his condition, a small f r
tune. It was impossible for him to have
placed; it there. Then where did it come
from! This is the theory:
The chair, which as stated had been occu
pied by Mr. Gra\ r for some time, was given
to him by Mr. Taylor, of Crawford countv.
This gentleman had a crippled son, and the
chair was probably occupied by him for
some time. It may have been during the
stormy da.vs of the war, when everything in
the shape of money and valuables had to lie
concealed to be saved, and the leather bot
tom of the old chair was the receptacle of
this snug little pile of gold.
Any way, it is true that Mr. Gray knocked
every dollar of the sum from the bottom of
the clmir, and that he believes the old rusty
pin brought him the good luck.
The money was deposited to his credit in
the Exchange Bank yesterday, and a hap
pier man than Mr. Gray' does not exist. It
might’be well to add that he would not part
with his rusty’ pin for twice the amount of
money it brought him.
The Telegraph's correspondent at Byron
sent last night the following in connection
with the above:
“The history of the chair as near as can
be learned is as follows: About two years
ago Mr. John Taylor, of Crawford county,
died. He hod been an invalid, unable to
walk for more than thirty years. It seems
that ho used this chair during the war, and
probably for some years iuter, hut it is
known that it was not used by him for more
than ten years before his death. The chair
was discarded and remained all the time
either in the yard or on the veranda of the
house.”
SHE KISSED THE BABY.
A Thousand People at the Reception to
Mrs. Cleveland at Marlon.
New Bedford, Aug. 15.—T0-day has
been a noted one in the annals of Marion,
for nearly every one has had the privilege
of grasping the hand of Mrs. Cleveland and
listening to her pleasant voico as she bade
them welcome at the public reception to
day. In the forenoon Mrs. Cleveland and
her mother went for a drive, selecting one
of the numerous picturesque roads for
which the town is noted. On her return
she received a few callers from among her
more intimate friends. The reception was
fixed for the hours between 4 and 5
p. m., and at 4 o’clock many peo
ple were in waiting, and carriages
lined the roadway' for quite a distance.
There had been quite a heavy shower, and
the rain fell lightly for the first quarter
hour of the reception, but after that the
sun came out and the afternoon closed
pleasantly. The reception was entirely suc
cessful, aud was marked by a very pleasant
absence of formality. It is estimated that
nearly 1,000 persons were presented to Mrs.
Cleveland. There were a few handsome
carriage drosses and street toilets, but the
majority of the people were in plain walk
ing dress. They passed in at the south gate,
passing up the curved drive to the south
piazza, where Mr. S. D. Hadley, of Marion,
took their names and repeated them to
Gen. Greely, who in turn presented the
callers to Mrs. Cleveland, who was
assisted in receiving by Mrs. Folsom
and Mrs. Greely. The three ladies
stood in the parlor, which had
been cleared of furniture. Mrs. Cleveland
was charmingly attired in pale blue surah,
with draperies of spotted illusion lace. The
corsage was cut square and filled in with
lace, and about her nock she wore a broad
band of blue ribbon. She wore no gloves
and very little jewelry. Mrs. Folsom wore
a cream-oolorea dress, trimmed with black
velvet, and Mrs. Greely a pale green cash
mere, with trimmings of black lace. Mrs.
Clevelands manner delighted everybody,
and this added to her kinduoss in assenting
to a public reception has increased her popu
larity, if that was possible. She looked
thoroughly pleased, her bright expressive
face not losing its animated expression a
moment, and she shook hands with a hearti
ness that made all fec-1 the lady of the White
House was really' pleased to meet them.
One of the callers was a baby, and Mrs.
Cleveland bent forward and kissed the little
one.
The people, in a continuous stream, passed
through tue parlor and out upon the piazza,
leaving the grounds through the north gate.
Gen. Greely wore a white flannel suit, and
to many of the out-of-town | eople it was an
added pleasure to see the Arctic explorer.
People from the surrounding towns formed
quite a respectable contingent, and among
others were a dozen or more private cartages
from Mattapoisett, well filled with summer
residents, or whom Boston contributed its
full quota. Half a dozen carriages went
from New Bedford, over a dozen miles
away, and the adjoining town of YVare
ham sent twenty or more carriages.
The attendants at the reception were
by no means confined to the general public,
but nearly all of tlie intimate friends of
Mrs. Cleveland took the occasion to pay
their respects during the hour. The car
riages were so numerous that the street in
front of Gen. Greely’s house at one time
was almost impassable. The turnouts were
of all kinds, from the open express wagon,
containing the farmer from the outlying
districts with his buxom wife and rosy chil
dren, to the smart and stylish four-in-hand,
with coachman and footman in livery’, and
its load of ladies and gentlemen in gay at
tire. All wore cheerful and happy, and
when a block would occur in the narrow
roadway patience was exercisod, and
there wore no scowling looks
or bad temper exhibited. In
the house once iu a while there would ho a
slight lull in the passage of visitors, and
then Mrs. Cleveland would take a moment
to chat with some of her more intimate
friends who remained in the room or upon
the piazza. Shs had a word or two for
nearly’ everyone who was presented to her,
und some were so charmed with her appear
ance that they went around the house and
passed through the hall for the second time.
Gen. Greely, in conversation with the press
representatives at the close of the reception,
said it was no idle talk that Mrs. Cleveland
will keep more quiet during the remainder
of her stay, and it is hardly probable that
she will accept any further public atten-
tions.
ASLEEP SEVEN MONTHS.
A Remarkable Case of Catalepsy in an
Illinois Town.
From the Sett York Time*.
Joliet, 111., Aug. ltf.—The case of Mrs.
Herbert, the cataleptic of Bt. Joseph's Hos
pital, this city, is attracting very wide at
tention and appears to baffle the efforts of
medical nien to properly diagnose it. For
210 days stoe has slept, and all tho ingenuity
and skill that has been brought to bear to
bring her back to consciousness has been un
availing. Sue coutii.ues to sleep day after
day and has wasted away physically until
she is unmet a phantom. Ise al (Spiritualists
declare her to lie in the trance state and
say she will make some astonishing revela
tions before long. Cranks besiege the hos
pital, desirous of obtaing a view of the fa
mous sleeper, but they are rigidly excluded.
Meanwhile the impassive objeet of their
curiosity sits in tho easy chair provided for
bor in the hospital. She rarely moves a
muscle, and should the attendant raise her
arm and not replace it on her lap it would
remain in the exact [sisition in which it had
lieen placed until again moved by the doctor
or nuise.
The sleeper fumislied everybody a sur
prise yesterday, ho we veil Old Mrs. Burns,
who knew Mrs. Herbert tiefore her catalepsy
ooetired, occupies the same ward with her,
and yesterday was left alone for a time
with tlie sleeper. Sister Barbara, hearing
an alarm from that ward, hastened thither
and found Mrs. Burns crouched upon the
floor crossing herself vigorously and in a
state of great excitement. Hhe told the fol
lowing story of her experience with Mrs.
Hcrliert:
"Lord help mo, but I thought I’d have a
fit when I saw tho lids of her eyes roll up
and slie lookin’ at me wid all her might as
if Mlw'd look a hole through me body. Whin
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. AUGUST 20, 1887.
she seen how bad I was scared she set up
laughin’, and thin, before I could get a word
in edgeways, she began to rattle away'
about her neighbors as fast as a boi'se could
trot. The sound of her voice was so sharp
that it gave me a pain in me ear, and I
shook me hand at her by way of hiddin’ hor
to stop her clutter, but she kep right on,
lek she was wound up fur a month. At last
she shipped long enough to take her breath,
when I axed why it was she didn’t spake to
her childer whin they came to see her t'other
day. Wud ye belave it, the minit I put
that to her she snapped her eyes shut lek
two traps, aud her jaws wint together like
a bang. I)ivil the word more could 1 get
out of her.”
Dr. Ward, the physician who has attended
Mrs. Herbert closely, had a similar experi
ence with her some tune ago. She hud then
been asleep three months, but the doctor
was not even then convinced that she was
not shamming. Ono day he observed that
the pose of the woman’s head indicated that
she had been leaning forward, and had
quickly’ straightened it up as he entered the
l oom. Her hands were extremely’ cold and
her lips a deep purple. Her face was as
pallid as death. The doctor told her to
stand up. She did not move until he
touched her shoulder, when she immediately
stood up, her arms hanging lifeless at her
sides The doctor had a small footstool
placed In their path, and then said: “Now,
Mrs. Herbert, we will take our morning
walk:
“It may have been imagination,” said the
dootor, “but I thought I saw the suggestion
of a smile play about the corners of her
mouth as I spoke to her. However, holding
her hand in mine, I led the way to the cen
tre of the room, where Sister Barbara had
placed the footstool and we neared it I
quickened the pace somewhat and Mrs. Her
bert tripped over it, and would certainly
have fallen had I not been there to catch
her. As she straightened herself up she
opened her eyes for a moment only, and
then burst out laughing. It seemed to be
a hysterical laugh, but she was
over it in a moment and she
became apparently as insensible as ever to
any physical emotion from that day until
y’esterday, when she is alleged to have
talked at length to Mrs. Burns. “It is cer
tainly the case,” continued Dr. Ward, “that
she is now as fast asleep as ever, and it is a
grave question whether her next awakening,
should the interregnum of apathy be ex
tended to the same period as has been noted
in the jiast, will not be in another world.”
Mrs. Herbert receives only about enough
food daily’ to sustain life in a bird, the doc
tors say, and it is their opinion that she
cannot long live in hex present condition.
SHE DIED A BEGGAR.
Yet in Her Room They Found $7,000 in
Money and Bonds- Rags and Filth.
A dispatch from Boston to the New York
World says: From a lieggarly little room at
the rear of No. 71 Albany street Mrs. Marv
Smith was removed to the City’ Hospital,
Saturday night, where she died before
morning. She was 70 years old ami with
out doubt the most raggedly dressed woman
in Boston. Her apartment was miserably
filthy, and her clothes were little better than
old rags, kept together by’ strings.
Mrs. Smith was a professional beggar,
and it was while limping about on hor daily
round in search of charity, Saturday after
noon, that she was knocked down and run
over by a careless butcher boy at the comer
of Howard and Hudson streets. Somebody
removed her to her home and notified the
police and had her taken to the Citv Hos
pital. She was not liailly hurt, but, her ad
vanced veurs and enfeebled condition, re
sulting from long years of privation, could
not withstand the shock. Before she died
she said something aliout her money, and
asked that Lawyer Charles Colbeth be no
tified. The hospital attendants believed
that the poor creature was wandering in
her mind. This morning, however, word
was sent to the lawyer, when they were sur
prised to hear that the old woman had made
a will and was worth several thousand dol-
lars.
The police were notified and an officer de
tailed to search the miserly lodgings. Open
ing the door of the old woman’s room, a
foul odor greeted hint and a dozen rats dis
appeared leisurely into tneir holes. The of
ficer began his search by ripping open the
first of two old mattresses, when to his sur
prise, several handfuls of gold and silver
coins rattled down on the floor. The saw
dust, chips, and husks with which the mat
tress was stuffed, were poured out into n
pile beside the boil. Scattered among this
chaff was a hatful of bank notes. Officer
Franks poked over the pile and saw
that many of the bills were roll
ed up into wads and tied with
greasy strings. Ho cut these with
is knife, and counting tho wealth, found
$630. On the wall over tho bed hung an old
petticoat. Meahatiically thrusting his hand
into the pocket, ho drew out a hard rag.
Opening this, S7O in bills lay in his hand.
On a peg near by was another petticoat.
As tho officer grasped it to replace it on the
hook, he felt a hard hunch of something in
sido the lining. Cutting the threads witli
his knife, a little bag dropped out, and $6
in silver coins rolled off on the floor. Iqside
the door another dirty article of apparel
hung. It was searched and inside the lining
was found secreted a large pocketbook.
Sewed into this were bills of various de
nominations amounting to S7O.
On the floor lay a mattress black with
filth, and rolled up and tied with a piece of
clothesline. Inside this, and wrapped care
fully in a dozen newspapers, was a package
of United States Government bonds of the
i3sue of. 1887, bearing 4 per cent, interest
and amounting in value to S6OO. Down in a
corner of the bag were two hank books of
tiie Franklin Savings Bank, each showing
a deposit of SI,OOO. Continuing tbe search,
a black dress was found, and iu various purts
of the lining were found, sewed separately,
sls in bills and silver. In a bureau was
found $l5O in gold. The entire amount of
money and bends amounted to between
$6,000 and $7,000, which was turned ovor to
the police authorities.
Cured by Faith.
From the Chicago New*.
A faith cure which is attracting conside
rable attention in Allegheny is that of Mr.
Thomas Bedow. Home three years ago Mr.
Bedow began to lose the proper use of his
lower limbs and, a physician being called,
the ailment was pronounced paralysis. Last
year the attending physician, Dr. Stewart,
pronounced Mr. Bedow incurable. The
iiarnlysis increased and two weeks ago Mr.
Bedow could only move alsiut in n painful
fashion by grasping bold of the backs of
chairs. A few days before his cure he again
consulted Dr. Htewurt, who told him that
all tliut could be done had been done, that
Mr. Beilow was inerablo. and not only that,
buttho increasing paralysis would prodin-e
death in the cour e of two or. at the outside,
three years. Mr. Bedow felt much diseourag
ed and on the eve of the cure i t t Unit it were
useless to even try to move about any more,
and that ori the morrow he would resign
himself to the inevitable and attempt to
stand u|X)ii the poor, paralyzed limbs no
longer. But on retiring that night tin*
thought came to hirn, "God can cure me.”
lie had just read of tho Faith-Cure Conven
tion at Christ church,and he bowed bis head
and prayed for a long time. The next day,
instead of giving us, as ho had into."led, he
several times made his way across Ins room
by clinging to the ehniistund furniture, and,
as lie imagined, witli le-s pain and difficulty
than for several weeks past. Ho felt on
couraged and that night he prayed with all
the earnestness and iaitli of which he was
capable. He afterward slept soundly until
morning, a thing lie laid not done for over a
year, lie sprang from lied, danced about

I7MVE old mid well-known makers, whose
namos am a guaranty a* to quality and
dura btiity.
There's a difference in them, of course. The
(’HICK E KIN OS are oostiy; very much so. The
MATHUSJIEKS cost one-third less, and are
known ns medium priced The HUNTS come
lower still, hut they are beaut ten; and the
AUIONS am as low in price as a reliable Piano
can he produced.
Hut our cheapest arc good and ran be do
pended on for good service. Wo will not, and
do not sell any Pianos which cannot lie honestly
commended, and jtfve full, yea large return for
the money put in them.
We crive pat i ons a choice from our two hun
dred (litTeront styles and prices. Squares.

And These Easy Tf.rms: Only #lO monthly

Very easy to buy a fine Piano on such terms.
OUR CLAIM.
Just this: To furnish a
better Piano than can be had
elsewhere —-North or South—
for the same money. Wo say
this notboastingly, but plainly,
in a business way, knowing
whereof we speak and being
prepared to demonstrate its
truth.
Those who buy elsewhere
without first visiting us will
certainly be the losers thereby.
