WOMEN IN HYDE PARS. How Somo of the Cutco.3t3 of London Spend Their Livos. Prom the Pull Mall Oozette. During the summer months it was well known to the authorities that a number of young women night after night slept on tire grass beneath the trees in Hyde Park. They were principally young women, varying in age from 18 to 30. Home remained during the greater part of the day in the park; others departed early, as if on business bent. No one inquired what that business v as, and they were allowed todejiart without interruption. On wet, comfortless nigl ts the attention of the police has been called to these poor outcasts, but to all tho latter s recommendations or persuasions of going to a workhouse or casual ward they turned a deaf ear, expressing their determination to remain in the park and be “independent.” As the law was not broken in any way, and there was no public obstruction, tho police authorities believed themselves to bo power less, and the young women were allowed to take then- night’s rest in secluded parts of Hyde Park. As winter advanced, however, the num ber of these young women decreased, but at the preseut time there are many girls who have no homes, no money and no friends, and through the cold days and piteous nights take their only rest under the wide canopy of heaven. A fortnight ago, though the thermometer did not register a very low degree of heat in the atmos phere, the northerly winds were pierc ingly cold, and on the damp green sward of the park, in tho most sheltered posi tion they could And, were several young women seeking rest. Tho first we saw was a young gill, apparently strong and healthy. She appeared rather annoyed by the intrusion, but, in- answer to inquiries, said she had no home, no money, and was half starved. “Why not go to the work house?” “No, never,” she replied; and, in answer to other que tions, said she had been in good service, bad disgraced herself, and could not get a character to enable her to take another place. Her mother had mar ried a second husband, they wore poor, and could not give her shelter. She hoped to get honest work, she did not know how soon. The next two were sitting together, one mending her boots, the other patching some wearing apparel. They were clean, tidy-looking women; both had beeu in good situations as domestic ser vants, and both had been abandoned by soldiers. The one young woman was only 18, the other 24. f rheir friends lived at a distance, but they would never allow their parents to know the degraded position into which they had fallen. The elder one had hopes of being taken at a “home;” if not they would have to take her to a hos pital, she said. She had been sixteen nights on the grass, had caught a severe cold and felt rheumatism flying about her, but the hacking cough she had would seem to indi cate a complaint more dangerous than “rheumatism.” We visited the Hyde Park police station. The inspector on duty mado his appearance. He was very communi cative and polite, and even sympathized with tho sufferings of these women. “But,” he said, “what are we to do? The very three you have just seen have been offered over and over again tickets for the workhouse; I have reasoned with them myself hail a dozen times dur ing tho sixteen days they have been here. The truth is, they prefer this life to having any restraint put upon them. The fact is, innocent as they appear, they leave here when darkness sets in, and visit all the low public houses, and return to the park in the morning. ‘Compel them to seek a decent shelter,’ you say. You must remember this is a free country, and people stick up for what they call their rights, and if I were to turn them out of this park without their doing anything contrary to law. I should get a severe reprimand. So what are you to do? We cannot help them who will'not help themselves.” We next went to another portion of the park, where, under a clump of trees and try ing, as it were, to hide themselves from human eyes, we saw two young women who had made a bed of fallen leaves, which were plentiful around that spot, ami had put their beads under the shawls which they had placed over them in order to keej) in tho warmth. A lady was with us then and she roused the poor girls, who* were only 17 and 19 years of age. They told her they were orphans, and had maintained them selves at machine work for twelvo months, but first one was thrown out of employ ment and then the other. They lived upon the clothes they pledged for a time, and then they were driven from their lodgings because they could not pay the rent. They had-only been in the park two nights, and hoped to get some work in the morning, and then they would be all right. They had two pence to get bread in the morning, and they wanted nothing else. Their story appeared so truthful that our lady friend compassion ated them and asked the girls to ac<-ompany her, and she wouid find them lodging for the night, to save them from catching cold, and promised to look after them in the morning. This they gladly accepted. They obtained work, and a few days ago, lookin’-; well and happy, called on the lady to thank her lor kindnesses received. Twilight hnd come on and night was ap proaching, and without our lady friend we *>uld proceed no further; but we were told Home curious stories concerning somo of the young women who take shelter in the park, many of which were not very creditable to tho individuals, though profligacy was not even hinted at. A clever expedient was resorted to by two girls during inclement weather. They carried son e park chairs to a large hollow tree, and, placing the chairs and themselves within it, and covering the opening with their old shawl*, they made themselves comfortable for the night. In this way they passed several nights until one morning the policeman’s attention was drawn to the spot, and they were forbidden ro resort to the same stratagem in tho future. Our visit to Hyde Park was in the third week of October. Since that period the northerly winds, the heavy rains and tno occasional frosts have made their marks upon the poor outcasts. Two have gone to hospitals, one died, several havo departed no one knows whither. Six poor creatures have, however, taken up their positioas in the park during the night throughout this inclement weather. They may or may not lie deserv ing characters, but they are committing slow suicide by sleeping on the damp grass, even though their bodies are sheltered from the ram by improvised tents covered with shawls, which are worn the next day. The polioe authorities deem it unwise fel ony person to aid or assist these homeless women, as it would only increase the num ber of vagrants who frequent the parks; but as the Chief Commissioner of Police, iu order to put down vagrancy, is taking steps under tho vagrant act to arrest all rogues and vagabonds throughout the metropolis who are found wandering or sleeping in the open air at night during tho cold weather, why should not such a proceedingextond to nyde Park, and thus oblige tho homeless women to seek propel- shelter at night? PERSECUTED FOR A WITCH. The Experience of Old Anna Hiller With Florian Mitzowsky. From the Chicauo Tribune. “The Witch of the White Stockings” is an appellation that may be applied to Anna Hiller, a stout and waddling old G 'rtnan woman of about 50, living in a lo:u-si*|$ manner at No. 3155 Benson street. Justice Eberhardt said yesterday that she claimed to have been reviled and persecuted for a sorcerer right here in Chicago. This is hor story as told by the Justice: “Next door to Mrs. Hiller lives the family of Florian Mitzowsky. Florian has a 15- year-old daughter—a pale, sickly, ernaeiatod creature—who is a confirmed invalid. She is also lame and cannot set her feet down without a painful limp. Three different doctors have attended her, but none have Lien üblo to diugnose fler on e correctly. A few days ago old Anna Hiller waddled over to her neighbor's) to see the sick child and brought a pretty pair of hand-knit white rtockin as a present for the sufferer. She stroked the maid with tender caresses, told her she mu-t put on tho stockings, which would help to make her well, performed somo queer jugglery rubbing the patient’s mouth, n ad astonished the family by stopping in her incantations, peering weirdly out of her bright eves at the sufferer, and exclaiming in a sepulchral voice: ‘O, poor child! The doc tors can't make you well! You must have i another kind of doctor!’ Then old Anna turned about and waddled back home. The father was terribly wrought up over the strange prophecy, and when he came home from work the next night found his daugh ter had been speaking all day like one in a trance of old Anna Hiller and her white stockings. Bho could not, it seemed, get any rest, and to wear the stockings only made her lamer and sicker. She seemed, indeed, like one possessed. Florian ran madly into the ‘witch’s’ house and accused her of exercising a spell over his child. Would she just stop over to the sick room and see for herself the result of her evil words? Yes, she said she would. “Once inside of Florian’s house the whole family gathered about old Anna with niut terings and imputations of witchcraft and sorcery. She must exorcise the evil spirit in that child, or break the spell that bound her, or they would wreak vengeance upon her. Florian took up the broom, and hold ing the stick horizontally across the room by the bedside, commanded the alleged witch to jump over it. Anna said she v. as too old, hut Florian was inexorable. She must do it or he would not answer for her life. So, finding no excuse would avail, Anna caught up her skirts and successfully made the leap over the broomstick. “The poor little girl continued to pine away, and her people continued to heap im precations on old Anna’s head. One day this week Florian chanced to meet Anna in the alley in the rear of his house and beat her with a stick most mercilessly. Florian was at last driven to desist by a sturdy teamster who chanced to pass through the alley. Mrs. Hiller had him arrested for assault, and lie was fined 810 by me and put under peace bonds for a year. The flue was subsequently suspended. ” Five Hundred Oysters in One Hour. From Ihe Minneapolis Tribune. Reporters, inspectors and night watch man see some peculiar sights, many of which are laughable, but there was a little scene in the Coffee John oyster house, at 213 Nicollet., at an early hour Sunday morning, which caused more laughter to the square spectator than Sol Smith Russell or any other combination yet produced. At about 1:30 a. m., as “Coffee John,” the pro prietor of the place, was finishing a hearty meal including a large porterhouse steak, a certain physician who is well-known as a man-about town dropped in and as he wait ed for his stew, the conversation drifted to the subject of opening oysters. To the sur prise of all present, including several local sports, John proposed to eat 500 oysters in two hours, and declared that he would back the offer by risking $lO on his ability to get away with that number. The money was put up and quickly covered. A stakeholder and a timekeeper were appointed and the oysters eouuted. The oysters were to lio opened and eaten in two hours, and when the doctor saw the two large pails filled with huge oysters in the shell, he felt very pertain of going home with S2O in his inside picket. The game was called at 1:48 with half a dozen persons present. At about 2 o’clock a reporter and two or three others dropped in. An attendant was allowed to keep oysters constantly at hand, and the eater proceeded to open and flip into his mouth oyster after oyster until 125 had dis appeared. Ho then took a recess and ate not more than a dozen oysters until 3 o’clock, the timo from 2:15 until 8 being occupied in opening the remaining 125 in the first pail, and steaming in the shell the full 250 con tained in pail No. 2. At 8 a. m. the stew containg 125 mature, fullblown oysters being cooked, and the 250 being sufficiently steamed to open easily, the two lots were bunched, making 375 oysters on one large dish. In bulk they would have measured something over three solid quarts and were of several pounds weight. As John seated himself to this meal it was remarked by nearly all the spectators -‘that, no live man could eat all those oysters;” hut the wife of the oyster man, who until now had looked nervous and worried as if she was ready to run for a physician or call the police at, a moment’s notice, now got her courage and offered to make a little side bet of $lO that her superior nine tenths would eat tho oysters ami win his wager. Her money was covered by tho stakeholder of the first bet, and other bets were made in the crowd. At 3:18 Coffee John took a sec ond recess, this time taking a short walk in the open air. There was a great deal of banter and “chin” going as the programme was carried out. On returning John opened a fresh bottle of ale and began again. It soon became evident that he was full, and, with 250 oysters jet before him he ran his finger down Ids throat with the usnal re sult, and returned to the conquest. This process he continued, filling and emptying his stornaitli alternately while there were repeated encores on tho emptying act. One gentleman was so affected by it that he was obliged to seek the restoring influence of a breath of outside air. The excitement for a time was considerable and the remarks were many. No more bets were closed, and at 8:85 Coffee John deposited oyster No. 500 with 13 minutes to spare. He was cheered to as great an extent as the hour of the night would permit, and the doctor de clared that lie didn’t suppose it possible, and that he should havj the oceui-ence placed on record in the annals of medical experi ence. The oyster man declared at the close of the ordeal that lie felt as well as when beginning. In the two hours he ate a largo number of crackers, drank a considerable quantity of strong coffee and disposed of tln-ee botth sof ale, At 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon he was seen by a reporter and declared that he slept well during she night, ale a hearty breakfast this morning, and ex perienced no inconvenience from his ex ploit. lie wants to close a bet of SI,OOO that he can eat 1,000 oysters in four hours. Secretary Lamar as a Journalist. From the Philadelphia Feus. It may be that Lamar's admiration for newspapers arises from the fact that the only failure of his life was with newspaper work. Me (ells the story in a very laughable way. Shortly after the war closed Sam Thompson, the editor of the Oxford Falcon. went to Lamar and asked him to furnish a leading editorial for liis paper once a week. T.ainai-thought the newspaper his spin re and agreed. He had great ideas of re forming the press: that, the press was a power, and evidently thought that the La mar editorial would turn Mississippi up side down, and that in its new position it would be nothing else but true, beautiful and good. He then commenced to grind out his editorial by tho yard, and ho says: •‘At first Victor come himself after my manuscript. The second week or so he sent a boy, and the third or fourth week I had to send my manuscript down by messen ger. In the meantime it had been adver tised a 1 over the country that the noted L. <J. C. Lamar would write editorials for the Oxford Falcon, and I watched the ex change- to see them copied. The papers did not seem t-> care for my editorals and thev would take up nasty little squibs, which seemed to me then to be insignificant, writ ten by Victor Thompson, and pass by my serious thoughts. I concluded after a time th it I was not fitted for an editorial writer, and I rather think that Victor thought so too.” ________________ Catarrh, Hay or Rose Fever.
