' ' 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 the floor, Jumped info Ills clothing and ran down stairs -houtiug for Joy.
