MITKIEWICZ’S CONCESSIONS. The Russian Lejfa’ion May Prevent Tlieir Completion Prom the Xew York Sun. Washington, Sept. s.— The Chinese min ister has not yet decided to sigu the conces sions for bank, telegraph and telephone privileges to the Barker syndicate. Ho is investigating the financial standing of the parties in the syndicate, and lie will take ample time before deciding upon his course. Mitkiewicz has been, according to his friends, too indiscreet in pub lishing his plans. This indiscretion has caused him to come into a great deal of prominence, and it is probable that he will have to read a great many un pleasant things about himself before he suc ceeds in clasping the millions which iie has in view. The Russian legation may have a great deal to say, if current reports are true, and it is possible that the representatives of the Czar may spoil the whole scheme. It is said that there is a grave doubt as to the l ight of Mitkiewicz to assume the title which he persists in adding to his name. A care ful search of the heraldry of Russia to-day fails to show that this name is recorded among the nobilitv of the Czar's empire. Mr. Paine, of Pennsylvania, who is Mr. AY barton Barker’s immediate representa tive, is in the city, and he is sanguine of the outcome of the conferences which are being held with tlie Chinese Minister. He savs that the capital necessary to carry out the enterprise ft forthcoming, and that the syn dicate will have no difficulty in convincing the Chinese Minister that they can do all that they undertake. He does not, doubt that the concession will be signed by the Minister, but he does not expect that this will be done immediately. In the mean time the Turnbull people are asking. “Where do we come in?” If they cannot get a satisfactory answer to this question they threaten to make some interesting dis closures. It seems that the money of the company has been heavily invested to secure the concession, and that there is a prospect of frigid weather for all the com pany except Mitkiewicz Mitkiewicz is well-known at Amherst, Mass. He appear •.! there in the summer of 1873. At first is was not known why he came. He was 34, jood-looking and dressed well. He put up at the Amherst House, a little country hotel. There was a good deal of wonder as to who he was and what was his business. But after awhile it became known that he was paying attention to Miss Caroline Lester, the 19-year-old daughter of Ralph Lester, a banker of Rochester, and the niece of Prof. AVilliam S. Tyler, the Greek professor in the college. It leaked out that the Count was engaged to marry Miss Lester, and the match was much gos siped about. He had made Miss Lester’s acquaintance on an ocean steamer, it was said. She was with her parents returning from a tour of Europe, and he was coming to this country to live. Miss Lester was a novel-reading girl and very impressionable. He told her storias of his noble pedigree, and she believed him. He found out that Miss Lester’s father was rich and she an only child. The Lesters lived at Rochester and Bing hamton, and visited every summer at Prof. Tyler’s home at Amherst. The Lesters and Tylers did not like the Count, and they sent abroad to find out if his reports about him self were true. They learned, it is said, that he had no standing at his home in Poland, that his family were respectable tradespeople, but that he was looked upon as a black sheep. Miss Lester’s parents kept Mitkiewicz on probation a long time while they investigated his character. Finally they arranged that their daughter should be separated from her lover for a year, and that the pair should not write to each other in that period. This arrangement lasted until the summer of 1874, when the -Lesters again came to Amherst, and Mitkiewicz reappeared upon the scene. The Lesters forbade their daugh ter having anything to do with the Count. But Miss Lester did not obey her parents. Bhe met the Count at the house of a rela tive. Mitkiewicz stayed at the hotel. He was an expert billiard and card player. He con tracted debts. Nobody knew the source of his income, and nobody believed in his title. In the fall of 1874 Miss Lester and Count Mitkiewicz were married in Brace church, Amherst, by the Rev. Henry Allen. It was a big wedding. All the college students and townsfolk attended. None of Miss Lester's relatives or friends were there. But one solid maq of Amherst sympathized with her. He was a wealthy, white-haired man, an ex- Legislator named Boltwood. He gave the bride away. She was a pretty, plump bru nette, and was beautifully dressed. The Count had been having a convivial time at the hotel with some friends, and was feeling quite jolly during the marriage ceremony. After tire wedding in the church they went to the hotel, where they were remar ried by a Catholic priest, the father of St. Bridget's church. Then they took a train for New London. There was a big crowd at the depot to see them off. The count put his wife in the cars, and waited himself on the platform to shake hands with the boys. AYhen the train was leaving he stood on the rear platform, and winked significantly at the crowd. Mitkiewicz and his wife were absent some time, and then the)' came to Northampton. There they ran short of money, and Mrs. Mitkiewicz sought a recon ciliation with her folks. Then the Mitkie wiczs disappeared. It was reported that they were in California. The next rumor placed the pair in Italy, where Mitkiewicz was said to be trying his skill at games of chance* and moving from place to place, leaving debts. Four years ago they returned to this country and separated, Mrs. Mitkiewicz going to her father’s hoirte at Rochester. Two years ago she died, leaving seven chil dren, who are now in the charge of her family. „ Mitkiewicz was occasionally heard of at Washington, where he was lobbying in a small way Now he turns up in a halo of millions. CLARA BELLE’S GOSSIP. How a Woman Betrayed Her Igno rance-Weight of a Girl’s Clothes. From the Chicago Tribune. New York, Sept. 3.—lt would seem to ®ny one visiting Long Branch this season that all the overdressed ignoramuses in tho laud were holding a congress there. Two girls were sitting on a veranda at Elberton with a matron tho other morning. They attracted much attention by their magnifi cent costumes. The woman had a hand painted satin wrapper, and an artistic gen tleman sauntered up fora nearer view of the wonderful vine of westcria that climbed her robust person from ground to throat. She was rnurling the morning paper and romment ln£ thereon This is what he heard: The florist ’begs to announce that his gladious exhibition will begin next Monday.’ IH bet a dollar my husband wont miss that. He 11 see Sullivan every time he gives one of ms matches.” She read agniu: “Although too old and heavy for the character, Booth will make ‘Hainlet’ his pioce de resistance “■™ coming season.” “Yes, I seen him in that piece last year,” ot the girls. M Which piece?” asked the other. The pieco of resistance,” good-naturedly the matron: “I mean ‘Hamlet.’ ” , Well, it’s the same piece. ‘Hamlet' is "“•.best of BchilleS’s plays.” Bchillor's? Why, it ain't spelled that here,” protested the reader. * don't mean Bcbiller, but Goetho," cor reeled the girl, ami fcor friend said, “Of wurse, Ooethe. 1 savt Booth play it my w>“’ often and often. It was written on Purpose for him, hut he's getting tired of it and letting other folks piny it, Just as Me Jr** Rankin lets that otner’fellow play ‘The .i "nd Nell Burgess lots that man 1% Widow Bedott.’” *h* aaiTingii in thuir intellectual h— An have paid n vear'* rental of a theatre * , iuud’MiuMd natin morning draw , mat ax mm h aa poor Hhaknpoar* ever out of his play* Tho Jintonoi got up ud walked airay juat im twmm on aaio; “To Juki that hath aliali \m aivwi-—” “Not always,” ho remarked, looking at the gorgeous ignoramuses. The spectacle of a dudishly-dressed gen tleman holding with gingerly touch a lady’s bustle and shoes attracted the attention of a great crowd at Long Branch the other day. It was the customary throng of bathers in front of a hotel, augmented by many be sides who knew that they were to be repaid by a sight—always too funnv for anything —of a gentleman handling a lady’s apparel. The occasion was the settlement of a wager that was all the talk among a rather uncon ventional set assembled as boarders together at a certain cottage—theatrical folks and idlers—all proper enough, but bent on hav ing fun. An actor among them had ended a week of hot discussion as to which sex wore the heavier clothes by betting with another man in the party that men carry less weight in garments in hot weather than women. Itnad been decided that a certain young woman of operatic hopes, but only concert realizations, should submit to hav ing her clothes weighed on the same scales with those of the actor who made the wager. No particular time for the solution of the problem was agreed upon, but the young singer assures me that, so as not to be taken off her guard, and so as to win a victory for her sex, she never afterward put on anything that was not of the lightest weight among all her belongings. She ran a tremendous risk of pneumonia—but what true woman would care a fig for a little thing like that under such circumstances. The actor may have done the same thing, but it was thought that he took no advan tage of his opportunities. This morning it had been agreed upon that the test should be made at the bath. Hence the man and the bustle. The wise young concert singer first handed out a white lawn dress—a mere web, ail lace and open work, where such things are both fashionable and possible. It and its belt of ribbon weighed precisely one pound on the spring scales borrowed of the cook at the boarding house. Then came three white skirts which weighed two pounds, and the bustle and shoes, which weighed one pound three ounces. These were followed by stockings, cuffs, collar and handkerchief, weight altogether, four ounces, and a hat that weighed five ounces. The corset, stig matized in books and lectures for half a century as barbarous and brutal, weighed, what do you sup pose? Three ounces, and no more. There was much figuring and arguing over the conversion of pounds into ounces and ounces into pounds again, but at last this result was announced: “Total weight of Miss Blank’s things” (note the mannish way of speaking of what he deemed so mys terious that even the good old word “clothes” never occurred to him) “fifty seven ounces, or three pounds and nine ounces.” Then came the weighing of the actor’s ap parel, and the first thing hooked on the scales, by the way, outweighed the lady’s clothes tremendously, so much so that if it had not been for a woman of sense standing bv, who knew that the whole world would like to know the truth about this much vexed question, nothing more would have been put on the scales and the bet would have been settled. This first thing was the actor's outer suit of trousers, vest and un lined sack coat. These weighed five pounds precisely. Think of it. Thirteen ounces more in the outermost garments than in all that the lady wore. The weights set down to the actor’s credit (and discomfiture) were as follows: Pounds. Ounces. Hat 4 Suit and suspenders 5 2 Shirt and undershirt X 8 Shoes and socks 1 8 Collar, cuffs (with links) and tie 4 Total 138 Total for lady 37 Excess of weight in man’s clothes 81 What a sermon there is in those figures? What an opportunity for men of all eras and all occupations to take back all that they ever wrote concerning woman's inhumanity to herself in dragging around a great weight of clothing and in loading herself with pounds of superfluities. To be sure, the lady said she wore the lightest garments she had, but she might have put on her heaviest apparel and even then would have won the wager easily. As for the actor, he declared he had never dressed more lightly, though not in preparation for the test, but on ac count of the weather. Clara Belle. THEY FOUND A HERMIT. He Lives in an Abandoned Mine Over in Jersey. From the Heto York Times. Just on the outskirts of the pretty village of Arlington, on the banks of the Passaic river, is the copper mine which at one time furnished considerable wealth to many of the old residents of Newark, N. J. For a number of years it has not been worked, and is only visited occasionally through cu riosity. The entrance to the mine is in the side of the bluff which overlooks the ceme tery, and in front is a stretch of meadow which reaches almost to Snake Hill. Several days ago George Oliver, a con tractor, had occasion to visit the cemetery, when he discovered a man of odd appear ance, who seemed to be wending his w ay to the entrance of the mine. Mr. Oliver started after him to see who he was. When he was near ths stranger the man turned around, and, giving vent to an exclamation, disappeared in the mouth of the mine. Oliver went home and told the story to a few of his neighbors, who concluded to in vestigate the matter. They equipped them selves with lanterns and other necessaries and started upon the search. They traversed the mine in all directions and finally at last got lost. After walking around for several hours the party saw a light a long distance away. They followed it. When fc'iey reached the light they found that it pro ceeded from a pot of grease in which was a lighted rag. They were on a raised plat form about 15 feet square, which evidently formed a living place for someone. While standing there they heard a hoarse voice demanding what they were doing. Raising their lan terns they discovered a man who appeared to be about 40 years of age. He was of medium size and well built, with long hair and beard. He was clad in an old coat, a dark shirt, baggy trousers, and very old shoes. The hermit again asked why they were there, and they replied that they were exploring the mine and had lost their wuy. He then offered to show them the way out. When they asked his history he at first refused to talk, but at length told the following story, though he would not give his name: He said that four years ago he lived on Thirty-seventh street, New York. Several months before that he had married the daughter of a boss bricklayer, and adored his wife. He was employed iu a plumbing establishment and earned good wages. For some time ail went well, nut he discovered that his wife was untrue to him. He at once left home, with thoughts of suicide in his mind. Wandering about he finally went to the Arlington Cemetery. There ho changed his mind and entering the mine, made himself a home there. He has once been to New York and told a friend of his purpose, and then re.uming has remained there ever since. He is ignorant of the whereabouts of his wife, and says ho does not wont to know where she is. In the Whole Hideous Cataloguo of diseases, there were none which, previous to the discovery of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, offered more formidable resistance to the old fashioned inodes of treatment than the group of maladies which, under the collective name of malarial disease afflicted entire communities that suffered hopelessly.

THE GREAT WATERBURY CLOCK It is Nearly Done and is to Surpass That at Strasburg. From the Philadelphia yen's. The Waterbury Watch Company have almost completed their wonderful clock, which in its mechauism is said to sui-pass the famous clock of Strasburg. It will lie completed by early autumn, and will then be on ekhibitiou in several of the leading cities of the United States. No one has yet seen it but the builders. The clock is 18 feet high, with a base of 7 feet; the width is 8 feet and it is 6).j feet deep. Nearly all the choice and expensive varie ties of wood enter into its construction, also a numberless variety of metals. The cabinet work throughout is a marvel of beauty. Five long years have been con sumed in its construction; sometimes four, at others five men have been engaged in the work. Time is indicated in the usual man ner by hours, minutes and seconds; in addi tion half-seconds, eighths, sixteenths and thirty-seconds. The day of the year, month and week may also be taken from the dial. The number of wheels, parts, pinions, springs and other parts of the mechanism is legion, all of which contribute to most wonderful and amusing exhibi tions of historical events. The several .phases of the moon are indicated. The entire system of the planets and solar systems are shown in perfect form aud in all the varied revolutions. A per fect system of astronomy may be studied from the ingenious machinery. Many hun dred figures represent distinguished clergy men, lawyers, physicians, orators, poets, musicians, sculptors, artists and actors- also distinguished men of all nations. These figures are said to be carved in wood from correct likenesses, and are most complete representations. Tbe signers of the Declara tion of Independence assembled as repre sented in history, the Cabinet of Lin coln when the emancipation proclama tion was signed, the surrender of Lee at Apponiatox, several scenes at the Cen tennial at Philadelphia, in 1876, and noted scenes and historical events as represented in the Bible have a prominent place. Shakespearean plays are set out with char acters true to the representations of tne author and the modern sotting at the thea tres, with dress and costume to correspond. Figures aud fashions of dress, both ancient and modern, down to Hie latest period, are among the curiosities. A multitude of amusing scenes will fill out the measure of this wonderful clock. It is safe to say it will surpass any other mechanical structure of the kind ever produced. When Gen. Grant Enjoyed a Hearty Laugh. Front the Chicago Tribune. (fan. Grant was rarely known to smile, and the occasions were few indeed when his dignity so far broke down as to permit him to laugh outright—though he was far from being devoid of a relish for a good story or joke. There was one time in his life, however, when he indulged in a roar of laughter that might have been heard for a quarter of a mile. It was while be was fill ing the Presidential chair and made his trip to Des Moines, la., and delivered tho famous speech on education —the first time it was discovered that he really could make a good speech. He passed through the little town of Bloomfield,twelve miles from the Missouri line, at 9 o’clock at night. A crowd had assembled, conspicuous among them being the village toper, who always filled up on great occasions, and bad therefore risen to the emergency, and was in a condition on the arrival of the Presidential party to hobnob with a King. The train halted at the station for several minutes, and in re sponse to cheers President Grant appeared on the platform aud lifted his hat in stiff, schoolboy fashion The old toper looked at him with blinking eyes, and then deliber ately thrust his face close to the sphinx-like countenance before him. There was a dead silence, the audacity ot tbe act causing the townspeople to stare in dumb amazement, while the few persons surrounded Grant were equally astounded. For a moment the drunken man swayed and started, and | then said: • “Ish zis Presh’dunt Grant?” The features of the hero of Appomat tox relaxed a little as he nodded affirma tively. “Come, now, hones’, pardner,” persisted the toper. “Shay, ol'roan, y’ ain’t tryin’ to fool a feller, are you?” The scene was cut shortly by the town Marshal reaching up and yanking the intruder to the ground • but it had such an inexpressibly funny side that the “silent man” burst into a hearty guffaw, in which those around him joined as the train moved away.
