The publication of anew story by Miss
Adeline Sergesnt, entitled “A False Posi
tion; The Story of a Mysterious Marriage,”
will be begun in the Morning News next
Sunday, and in the Weekly News June
20. Miss Sergeant has written several
stories of great power, and they are very
popular. She is descended from an old
Lincolnshire (England) family, and was
born at Ashbourne, Derbyshire. She began
to write when 8 years old, appeared in print
when 13, and published a volume of verse
when 16 years of age. Her first success was
with “Jacobi’s Wife,’’ which was accepted
while she was traveling in Egypt. Subse
quently the story was issued as a serial by
Messrs. Tillotaon & Son, and Miss
Sergeant at once beoame a favor*
ite with tb readers of newspaper
fiction. Her forthcoming story will arouse
the warmest enthusiasm. It opens with a
mystery, develops by means of a love scene
into a deeply absorbing domestic story, is
lifted on a higher plane of interest by an
unexpected tragedy and the disappearance
of a leading personage, and continues its
course through an infinite variety of scenes
and incident*, treated in a graphio style,
until the mystery and romance surrounding
“A False Position” are thoroughly un
raveled, and the novel terminates delight
fully with the second generation of char
acters. The reader will conclude with
rest the story he commenced with delight
and expectancy.
Mississippi will have tha novel experience
of trying a 8-year-old murderer very soon.
What will be done with him is hard to say,
for his crime was fratricide as well as
murder. But he wUI probably not be
banged. That could easily be done in this
case with a few strands of spool cotton.
By way of expressing contempt for the
Prince of Wale*, a Pittsburg police court
justice took occasion to state reoently that
the prince oould not get a saloon license in
Pittsburg. Since the heir-apparent is not
likely to be an immediate applicant for such
distinction it *eems that the magistrate
gave himself unnecessary trouble about the
matter.
The way the mayor enforces the ordi
nances against those who are supposed to
be a “power” at election times makes the
old time pclltfnians open their eyes with
astonishment. .And if the mayor should
want the vots* of the people at any future
time he woull get them. They admire a
man who ha* the courage to do what is
right. __
Starting a small rum-shop of their own
turned out disastrously for a party
of Harvar* students when they were called
up in a Catotoridge police court and assessed
$1,850 for the fun they’d been having with
out a liceflsk, Each member of the unin
corporated wompany was invited to con
tribute s<tt (a bullion. Hereafter they will
probably buy their booze from a licensed
tap room. |(R come* much cheaper in the
end.
The Central’s New Management.
It is to be regretted that the Central loses
some of its ablest officers by the change that
has been made in its management. They
are all good men and it has been proven
that they possess exceptionable ability in
their respective departments. Under Gen.
Alexander the Central has been remarkably
prosperous. Its stockholders have had no
reason to complain, and the property is
much more valuable than when he took hold
of it. And there never was a franker or a
more approachable man at the head of a
great railroad corporation than he. He will
be greatly missed, not only by the employes
of the road to whom he was always court
eous and considerate, and with whom he
was deeervedly popular, but also by those
whose duty it was to seek information
from him for the benefit of the public. His
excellent judgment was never at fault as to
what was proper to make public and what
was not, and what he bad to give to news
gathers he gave promptly and willingly.
His record as president of the Central is an
excellent one—one to be proud of—and to
thoee who have business relations with the
great corporation his retirement will seem
like a personal loss.
While Savannah will cease to be the head
quarters of some of the principal men in the
management of the Central, the city will
gain by the close relations which have been
established between the Central,
the Georgia Pacific and the Richmond
and Danville. A greater amount
of business will be forced upon the Central’s
lines, and the Ocean Steamship Company
will have to increase the number of its
steamers to meet the increasing demand
upon it. In addition to the business which
the Georgia Pacific and Richmond and Dan
ville will influence in this direction, Gould's
Southwestern system will have a seaboard
outlet here. It can be stated quite posi
tively that it is the purpose to make the
Central a much more profitable property
than it has ever yet been, though it is one
of the best paying railroads in the country,
and in proportion as its business is increased
Savannah is certain to be benefited.
As stated in our dispatches the other day,
the Georgia Pacific’s control of the Central
does seem like the "tail wagging the dog,”
but it was hardly to be expected that those
who managed the leased road would bo
retained to manage the combined properties.
But although the loss of the Central’s indi
viduality is a blow to Savannah's pride, it
being a Savannah institution, there ie every
reason for thinking that the Central will be
a greater factor in Savannah’s prosperty
than ever before.
Maj. Burke's Failure.
The public hex not yet forgotten Maj.
Burke, the defaulting treasurer of Louisi
ana. He was the director general of the
ootton centennial exposition at New Or
leans, and as suoh became known to people
in nearly all parts of the world. He was
very popular at that period of his career,
and regarded himself as a great man. He
was a smart man, and had he been thor
oughly honest he would have climbed the
ladder of fame much higher.
At the exposition at New Orleans he be
oame a great friend of President Brogan,
of Honduras. Indeed, so highly did Brogan
think of him that he made him vast con
cessions in Honduras of wbat were thought
to be gold-boaring lands. When New Or
leans became too hot for Maj. Burke, owing
to the fact that as state treasurer he ap
propriated of the state's property about
11,000,000 more than his salary, he went to
London, where he induced a number of
capitalists to loan him money with which
to work his gold lands in Honduras.
Now and then he has been heard from in
Honduras. At one time, according to the
reports, he was getting rich rapidly, and
would soon return to Louisiana and pay
what he owed that state. At another time
he was at the head of President Brogan’s
army, stamping out an insurrection.
The latest report is that he has spent all
the money obtained from the English capi
talists, and his miniDg ventures have come
to nothing. It seems that he was impressed
with the idea that there was gold in un
limited quantities in the bed of a certain
river. He set to work to turn the course
of the river. It was an immense work.
Maj. Burke employed many hundred men
for a long period of time. He dually ac
complished his object, though at the cost
of his entire oapital. But there was no
gold in the river bed, and thus came to an
end bis last great scheme. It is not prob
able he will pay Louisiana what he owes
her very soon.
Fashionable and well bred people in Lon
don manifest a strong disposition to regard
the charges againßt Sir W. Gordon Cum
ming by the Wilson family as a mere
malicious attempt of social upstarts to dam
age the reputation of a distinguished army
officer of good family, simply to gratify a
personal grudge. They roundly rate the
Prince of Wales for allowing himself to be
drawn Into aiding the sobeme. Doubtless
the Wilsons and their especial friends the
Greens highly enjoy the whole affair for the
widespread notoriety it brings them. Such
a thing as consideration for their guests does
not appear to nave in the least troubled
them. In the house of really genteel people
no such scandal could ever have originated
beoause every one oould have been abso
lutely relied upon to say absolutely nothing
about It. But the bourgeoise fashionable
must malign somebody and get themselves
talked about even though they have to rush
into the police court to gratify their morbid
oravings for scandal. Nearly all of Sir
William's friends are quietly standing by
him as well as his fiancee Miss Garner, who
was falsely said to have turned from him.
Probably he will after all be cleared, and
then the Archbishop of Canterbury will
unite him with bis bride.
Thayer of Nebraska appears pretty
anxious that Manderson should succeed
Secretary Proctor when the secretary
goes into Edmunds’ seat in the
Senate. Therefore he is rather eager
to have this somewhat extensive shifting of
seats begin right off, so that he may resign
and be appointed senator by the succeeding
governor. Thus will Cobb get left and all
of his flagrantly informal and Injudicial
conduct go for naught. Possibly the judge
may then feel strongly impelled to see Boyd
get justice and the honestly elected state
officers reinstated.
Although the New Haven decision doesn't
altogether defeat the democratic cause in
Connecticut, only the closest sort of sticking
together can avail the democrats anything
since it was rendered. Now they have a
harder fight ahead of their than ever be
fore, and they ought to fight even harder.
As the Prince of Wales has not lately
announced his intention of coming over
here the New Tork papers saem to be talc
iag a ereas uaal Jt unnecessary trouble

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1891.
i The Sub-treasury Schema In Kansas.
The alliancemen of Kansas are going to
try the sub-treasury scheme as a private
enterprise They are so oertain that it is a
good thmg that they are willing to risk
their money in it. There can be no reason
able objection to their doing what they
propose. If tbsy can demonstrate that it
would be a good thing for the government
to take hold of,they will have a strong argu
ment with whioh to approaoh congress in
its behalf.
John C. Hopkins, of New York oity, who
was a delegate to the Cincinnati conference
from the New York Economic Club, is the
man who has induced the Kansas alliance
men to try the sub-treasury scheme. And
be says that he has the indorsement of a
number of New York capitalists. It might
be well for the Kansas farmers, however,
to inquire into the antecedents aud business
reoord of Mr. Hopkins. He may be all
right and may intend to deal honestly and
squarely with them, but they ought to know
all about him before putting too muoh
confidence in him.
But the Kansas farmers are in no mood
to accept advice. They are infatuated with
the sub-treasury scheme, and they will not
be satisfied until they have given it a trial.
It is to be hoped that their expectations
will be realized, and that the result will not
be that at the end of a year or two Mr.
Hopkins will have a good deal of their
money while they will have only a little
more experience to show for their faith in
the scheme,
It is proposed to establish a bank in each
county iu the state under the direction of
the local alliance exchange, the capital to
be furnished by alliancemen. In connec
tion with each bank there is to boa ware
house in which a farmer may deposit his
unperishable products, and for whiob be
will receive a check for 80 per cent, of their
market value. It is expected, of course,
that the check will be used as money until
paid.
This, of course, is only a brief statement
of the scheme. There are many details, but
on paper, and, as Mr. Hopkins presents it,
everything connected with it is very at
tractive to the farmer. It does not appear
to be a huge swindle, though it cannot be
said with absolute certainty that it isn’t.
Just how the farmers are to be benefited,
however, does not appear to be very clear.
The amount of grain Kansas farmers can
withhold from market is not great enough
to cause an advance in the prices, and farm
ers will have to pay for storage, insurance
and extra handling. However. Mr. Hop
kins has tbe confidence of Kansas alliance
men aDd the whole country will rejoice if
he succeeds in doing for them what he
promises.
The Tranby Croft Crowd.
The most of the people who were assem
bled at Tranby Croft, the scene of the bao
carat scandal in which the Prince of Wales
figures so conspicuously, are of plebeian
blood, and the prince’s personal friends are
wondering how he and his two or three
boon companions oame to be the gueste of
the Wilsons at their country house, Tran
by Croft. Mr. Wilson is a
good sort of a man who began
life in very humble circumstances,
and conquered fortune by indefatigable in
dustry and indomitable oourage. His wife
was the daughter of a provincial postmas
ter and belonged to the lower middle class.
And all the friends of the Wilsons, except
the prince and hi* companions, who were
at Tranby Croft, belong to the same social
grade.
And from all accounts the prince and his
companions did not conduct themselves as
if they thought there was BDy occasion for
an exhibition of polite manners. They
smoked, drank and gambled in the presence
of the ladies, and the ladies joined them in
drinking and gambling. They bad a high
old time at the Donoaster races and they
were very jolly by the time they began
playing baccarat. In fact, Sir Edward
Clarke, during bis cross-examination of
some of the witnesses, intimated pretty
plainly that while tbe game was in pro
gress some of the players were not in a con
dition to say whether or not there was cheat
iDg.
The reason the prince’s friends give for
his presence at Tranby Croft is that Mr.
Wilson’s pocketbook was at bis disposal.
As is well known,the prince is about always
up to his oars in debt, and Mr. Wilson, who
is a very rich man, helped him, it is sup
posed, for some slight social recognition, to
satisfy some of the more importunate of his
creditors. The spectacle, therefore, which
tbe heir-apparent to the throne presents to
the English people is not one of which they
have any reason to be proud. They feel,
however, that it would be useless for them
to render him any further pecuniary aid,
because, however much they might increase
his allowance, he would always be iu debt.
But it hardly seems fair that because be has
got himself mixed up iu a nasty scandal the
people who entertained him should be
sneered at as being of low degree.
Pious swindlers appear largely In the
majority of late. Either the swindlers have
all taken to joining the church as a prepara
tion for business, or else the church people
have largely taken to swindling. Which
ever way it may be, the better class of
church people have before them a plain
duty to perform in keeping a closer watch
upon their devout fraters who manifest too
thrifty a tendenoy. Beside many similar
reoeut instances, a swindling firm of alleged
real estate agents has just been “hooked and
landed" in the penitentiary in Wisconsin for
extorting money from would-be agents on
the faith of realty security that they didn’t
have. Their professed piety is what eblefl y
deceived their victims. They deserved
more punishment than they got from the
court.
Officers of the Union Theologioal Semi
nary stand nobly by Dr. Briggs, notwith
standing the action of the Presbyterian as
sembly at Detroit. Such action on the
part of the assembly is palpably regarded
by the direotors as an usurpation of author
ity that they do not intend to tolerate. So
they go right ahead and place the doctor
just as they would have done without any
opinion from the assembly at all.
Some of the ladies connected with the
Chicago world's fair committee are ac
credited with the statement that the men
officially connected with the enterprise are
trying to prevent the women from having
any important part in the show. But as
they are chiefly friends of Miss Phoebe
Cousins their cause of complaint is easily
understood.
Advises from Pittsburg complain that a
“centrifugal machine” engaged in amusing
a soap factory did suddenly ’ ’let go,” greatly
to the scatteration of the observers there
about. Nobody aaa blame the machine
To be ooafiued hi a soap factory them hot
days is enough to make anything “let so.”
PERSONAL.
Bismarck intends to publish his memoirs
during his life, so that be can defend them if
they are attacked.
Miss Ethel Mackenzie, daughter of Sir
Morell Mackenzie, is tbe London correspondent
of several American newspapers.
Mrs. EmmaP. Ewing, the lecturer on cooking,
declares that while improvements have been
made in all other directions, practical cooking
stands where it did 100 years ago.
Thomas A. Edison is writing his first novel.
A telegraph. Atlantio cable, telephone, phono
graph, audipbone. and kinetograph will figure

Miss Louise Patsons, the superintendent of
tbe Baltimore Training School for Nurses,
studied her profession In London with Florence
Nightingale and was a nurse with the Egyptian
expedition. The queen bestowed upon her the
Royal Bed Cross.
Lord Salisbury, stout and indolent as he
may now seem, has been a hard worker, and In
1952. when he was Robert Cecil, visited the Ben
digo and Ballarat gold fields, where he joined
the diggers, lived in a tent, did his own washing
and cooking, and dug and gathered nuggets.
Miss M. G. McClelland, a noted Virginia
novelist, is visiting in Baltimore. Miss Mc-
Clelland Is of middle age, tall and slender, and
with iron gray hair parted over her

shal. have been the object.-, of much interest
recently in Germany. Mai. Helmuth was
named after his uncle, acted as his personal

the house of the geueral staff.
Capt. M. B. Hughes of the Ninth cavalry lias
a curious relic of the late Geo. Crook. It is a
little wooden doll baby that the old Ind an
fighter carved out of an old army wagon
tot gua with a penknife while on the Apache
campaign in Arizons. Crook was universally
known among the Indians as the “whittling
medicine man.’’
There is a strong likelihood that Rev. Dr. John
Hall will resign soon as chancellor of the Uni
versity of the City of New York. Dr. Hall was
chosen chancellor several years ago, after the
late Rev. Dr Howard Crosoy had resigned. Dr.
Hall was selected because the council of tne
university wanted his name and influence. His
position is nominal only. He does not occupy a
chair in the university and draws no salary.
Although the late ex Minister H. S. Sanford
first attracted general attention by throwing up
a diplomatic position rather than wear a dis
tinctive uniform, he was a great stickler for
etiquette. An amusing story is told in iliustra
tion of this trait. At a grand dinner which be
ODce gave in Washington a blue ribbon was
stretched across the table at a certain point, to
separate the people of title and office from the
common herd below.
The young Chinese emperor has celebrated
the completion of his 20th year by picking out
anew wife. Precedent allows a man of his
rank seven of these companions, and this
acquisition is only the second. His mother ex
a tuned the many candidates for the honor, and
selected ten therefrom, out of which number
the emperor made the final choioe. This
maiden is the daughter of a mandarin of the
yellow button, and is said to have the smallest
foot in Pekin.
One of the funniest things Eugene Field, the
Chicago humorist, ever did was the way he ad
dressed a letter to M. P. Handy, the newspaper
correspondent, and now director of the world's
fair. Me took a white envelope and drew on it
the back of a human head. He picked out a few
tufts of hair on top of it. and then from the
cheeks he drew a pair of luxuriant whiskers,
which he tinted with a red pencil. Then he
wrote under it simply "Philadelphia, Pa.," that
was all. The letter went straight to Handy.

That Blua Jay Liar.
“Don't you think It would pay for someone
to establish a restaurant In this town?" queried
the Blue Jay liar from tbe west to a New York
World man as he rode on the rear platform of
a Twenty-third street surface car yesterday.
"Why, we have a thousand of'em, sir!” re
plied the astonished conductor.
"Not restaurants?' 1
“Of course! I can show you several within
the next two squares. There's one right over
there."
“Ah! That's what you call a restaurant in
New York, is it? Well, I’m glad J found out
I’ve been looking for three days and couldn’t
find one."
“Most any one could have directed you, sir.”
“Plenty of them tried to, but when I got in
side the places I saw they were wrong. What
you call a restaurant here we call a free lunch
temple out west. I don’t suppose you have a
real, genuine restaurant here, as your people
would not support such a thing.”
The conductor mechanically ruog up a fare
and stared hard at the stranger, who continued;
“Went into a place way down Broadway,
somewhere, and ordered everything on the bill
of fare and a dozen extras, and treated half a
dozen brokers to champagne. What do you
suppose the bill was?”
"Fifty dollars, perhaps.”
“A little more. All they could make it was
$96, and 1 felt like breaking up the dishes. I'd
like you to sit down in a western restaurant
with ms—sit down to what we call a noon lunch.
They'll average about S3OO per plate, but you
never hear any kicking."
"Good lands, sir, but you don’t tell me a
luncheon costs S3OO out west," gasped the con
ductor.
"Astonishes you, does it? Ever see a $75,000
mirror in a restaurant?"
“No. sir.”
"Ever see a place large enough to seat 2,000
people and give each a table?”
“No, sir.”
“Never saw gold plates and knives used here
I take it?"
"Never, sir."
“Well, New York may grow to it after
a while. If I could get about four acres of
land fronting on Broadway, near the city hall,
I believe I'd spend about $10,000,000 to put up a
restaurant and give the thing a trial. If it was
a failure I suppose I could turn the place into a
riding school or an aquarium. Ever out west?"
“No. sir, but I hear it’s a great country,” re
plied the conductor, as he pocketed a fare and
forgot to ring up.
"Must have heard it by letter, then, for the
New York press is too jealous to sav anything
good about us. We have now aid then a horse
car line out there, but we run 'em for exhibi
tion -to show strangers how people used to
travel 200 years ago. Think you’d like to go
west?”
"I would, sir."
"Well, I’ll see you again. I’m opening a
cable line twenty-four miles long at Denver,
and shall want about fifty conductors. Might
take a few of you boys out there as curiosities,
but I’d pay you well. Honest, of course?”
“1 ain. sir."
"That’s good. The cab’es will be of silver,
and tha tassels on the cushicn-seats of pure
gold, and I want an honest lot of conductors on
me line. I'll drop off here at Sixth avenue. I
want to see this Masonic temple. We’ve got a
new lodgeat Helena—about twenty-ttve mem
bers—aud the boys want to build one just like
this If it is roomy enough to hold us and our
traps. So long."
Talk About a Small Table.
Steele Mackaye, the dramatist, can tell a good
story as well as write a good play, says the
Washington Pott. At Wormley’s last night he
was relating some of his experiences in the little
village of Concord, N. C., where he spent some
time during the winter.
"I wonted a table made," he began, “and was
directed to the village carpenter. He was an
aged man. and when I finally found him he was
leisurely engaged in the manufacture of a coffin.
It looked as if he had been at work upon that
coffin for a week. I asked him if he could mane
me a table. He ‘allowed’ that he could when he
‘got at it.’ ‘And when will you get at it?" I
asked. The old man pondered for a long
time. Suddenly he parried my direct question
with another. ‘What kind of a table do you
want? he asked me, with the air of a man who
has got his snemy cornered. I described the
table, and the old man again fell into deep
thought. At last, when I showed some Impa
tience, he told me to come again next wdek. A
week later I reminded him abont my table.
Yes, he remembered the conversation, but he
did not think he could go to work upon it until
he had seen some of his relatives He did not
exactly know whom he bad to see, nor where
they lived, but he was positive that they had to
be seen before my table could be commenced.
Besides this, he hadn't a iy lumber.
"Where can I get the "lumber?” 1 asked, in
desperation. Well, he thought it could be ob
tained at the mill. And where was the mill?
Twelve miles away. So I mounted my horse
and started for the mill. I found it after a long
search. It was a dilapidated affair, aud the
saw was half way through a log. But the saw
was rusty, a sign that it had not been in use for
a week. A woman caine out of a bouse near by
and answered my shouts. I told her that I
wanted to see the owner of tbe mill. ‘What do
you want to see him for?’ she drawled. I told
her about the lumber which I needed, and her
husband came out. He was a long, lean, lank
fellow, and he was sucking a yam. It was the
funniest sight you ever saw. All during the
conversation he sucked this yam, and spoke in
slow, deliberate sentences. He finally con
cluded that he didn't care to take the trouble to
cut the lumber, and I rode twelve miles back to
town." ‘
"And did you ever get the table?" asked the
Post reporter, who listeued to the story.
"Down by the railroad was a factory," said
Mr. Mackaye. "Nobody In the town had men
tioned it, although fifty people had told me of
the aged and work deferring carjieuter. I found
the factory by accident, gave my order for the
table, and had it delivered to mo within tweuty
four hours."
Shakespeare Helped to Rave Her Life.
Shakespeare has just received in New York
another of those compliments whioh are occa
sionally paid him. says the Chicago Herald, and
which are not possible to any other writer iu
any language. During the trial of the Italian
girl. Pasquabia, who killed her delinquent
lover, a boy wituesa testified that, just before
she fired the fatal shot, her face turned green.
Being cross-questioned, he reiterated the state
ment, and again used the same expression.
While charging the jury, the court said that
the boy's testimony had puzzled him. and be
was not able to credit or even understand R un
til he had found the following passage in
Shakesp.-are:
“Was the hope drunk,
Wherein yon dulled yourself; bath it slept
sinee,
And makes it now to look so green and pale
And what It did so freely ?"
********
* ‘She pined in thought.
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief!"
It may seem at first sight strange that a
coupls of quotations from the bard of Avon
should have their weight in a modern court of
law in saving a girl’s life, but on any subject
that refers to the passions of the human heart,
and their visible effects, Shakespeare may he
taken as authority, even in a court of law. As
an observer, his faculties far outstripped all
else that we know of human intelligence.
Farewell.
Owen Meredith.
Man cannot make, but may enoble. fate.
By nobly bearing it; so let ustrust
Not to ourselves, but God, and calmly wait
Love’s orient, out of darkness and of dust.
Farewell, and yet again farewell, and yet
Never farewell—iffarewell meaD to fare
Alone and disunited. Love hath set
Our days, in music, to the self-same air.
And 1 shall feel, wherever we may be.
Even tho’ in absence and an alien clime.
The sbadow of the sunniness of thee,
Hovering, in patience, through a clouded
time.
Farewell! The dawn Is rising and the light
Is making, in the east, a faint endeavor
To illuminate the mountain peaks. Good night.
Thine own, and only thine, my love, forever.

ITBMS OF INTEBBST.
A strange metamorphosis In the heavens wss
was visible at Wassamoneta, O.,Monday evening
last An immense cylinder cloud, over
looking from west to ea*t and trav
eling with great rapidity, passed over
the town in the same direction. It was
black and gray in color, and as it revolved
its color changed. What it was no one seems
to know; but it attracted hundreds into the
streets and housetops, who watched it until it
disappeared in the western heavens.
Wm. Derringer and wife reside near Watson.
Ind. Two months ago Mrs. Derringer gave
birth to twin babies, which were probably the
smallest specimens or humanity to he found in
the state. One of them died soon after birth.
The other is alive and well and at birth was
easily placed in a quart cup. It has grown some
since and now weighs two pounds. IU head
measures ten and one half inches in circum
ference, its arms are eight inches in length, its
fingers three quarters of an inch long, and it Is
about 16 inches high now. It appears to be as
healthy as any regular, natural-sized baby.
A pathetic romance has just come to light at
Benton Harbor, Ind. Several days ago Thomas
Flood, a well-known and wealthy citizen of that
place, dropped dead on the street. Mr. Flood
formerly resided at Chicago, where he formed
tbe acquaintance of Miss Nellie Costello, a
charming young lady of high intelligence and
prepossessing appearance. They became firm
friends, and after Mr. Flood moved to Benton
Harbor kept up a correspondence. Their
friendship warmed into love and finally ended
in their engagement. The will has just oeen
admitted to probate, aud it is found that Miss
Costello is heir to a fortune of $15,000. The
young lady is almost heart-broken over the un
timely death of her lover.
An lnterbsting account has lately appeared
of an experiment made in the North of France
in the training of swallows as carriers and in
testing the swallows so trained by competition
with carrier pigeons. A brood of young swal
lows having been taken from tbeir nest in the
eaves of a house, were first trained to fly from
the ground to the nest; then, by gradually
increasing stages, from Ronbaix to Lille, and
finally from Ronbaix to Paris, a distance of 110
miles. When this had been successfully accom
plished a race was arranged over the latter
course between the swallows and some trained
carrier pigeons, with tbe result that the swal
lows came in winners by three-quarters of an
hour. The success of the experiment seems to
reveal great possibilities for the future of this
method of rapid communication.
There lately arrived at Memel, a seaport town
of Prussia, a bent, white-haired, and careworn
man whose conung produced a sensation such
ns could not have been made by the appearance
of any other living person. He was Gustav
Gebhardt, who forty years ago was a butcher
in Memel, and was accused of having com
mitted a double murder and was condemned to
death. On the morning set for the execution
his cell was found empty, and be could never be
tracked. After someyeaisa respectable citizen,
when on the point of death, confessed to his
pastor that he was tho murderer, and therefore
that Gebhardt was innocent. Advertisements
of this news were inserted in all the native and
foreign papers, summoning Gebhardt to return
to Memel, but nothing was heard of him. At
last, however, the fact reached his ear. and he
came backy to his home.
I met Billy Maloney of the famous boodle
board of aldermen yesterday, says a writer in
the New York Recorder. Although much
grayer than he was before his enforced exile
in foreign lands he looked well, and was as
chipper as ever. "Yes.” he said, “I am all
through my troubles at last, and I am glad of
it. I feel as young as I did twenty years ago.
I went from New York in 1884, months before
there was any noise raised over tho Broadway
grant. I intended to remain aw av four months,
but 1 liked the study of French so well that 1
stayed four years and nine months. I feel
rusty from lack of work now, and as I am a
lawyer think 1 shall open up a law office. An
old friend from Montreal is in town, and I am
going up to see him at tbe *San Cloo.’ How is
that for a French pronunciation?” and with a
gay laugh the ex-boodler darted off through
the throng on Broadway.
The “International Exhibition of Artistic
Photographs" organized by the Vienna Club of
Amateur Photographers, opened in May, was
rigidly restricted to a high standard of excel
lence. The selection committee, which con
sisted of eminent painters and sculptors of
various nationalities, admitted 600 only out of
4,00i impressions offer- and. The Vienna journals
frankly admit that the most valuable exhibits
from an artistic point of view belong to British
photographers. Next to the English photog
raphers; a foremost rank is occupied by an
Italian lady. Countess Loridana, and Wilhelm
Dreesen of Flensburg. Among the Vienna
amateurs are the Barons Albert and Nathaniel
Rothschild. The patroness of the exhibition,
the Archduchess Maria Theresa, as well as the
Princess of Wales, the Grand Duke Ferdinand
of Toscana, and Count Bardi have exhibited
hors concern s. The Princess of Wales has sent
some small instantaneous photographs which
are excellent.
The remains of Mrs. Katie Stuff, the oldest
resident of Greencastle, Pa., were recently con
signed to their last resting place. Mrs. Stuff,
ca.led "Aunt Katie,” was almost 98 years of
age, and ud to within a few days of that event
had not tasted water since she was a little girl.
Aunt Katie insisted that water wasn't health
ful, and drank tea and coffee only. Fishing
used to be one of her passions, says the Chicago
Revs. Getting up early in tha morning in sum
mer time, she would fill the pocket of her dress
with grasshoppers, pin it to keep them secure,
and then, rod iu hand, she would repair
to the banks of the Conocoheague
creek, often putting the local fleherjnen
to the blush by her skill. For the last ten years
It was a source of great pride to her to visit the
harvest field each summer and bind a sheaf of
grain, which was always faithfully recorded by
the local press, affording her the highest grati
fication. Last summer, however, old age tri
umphed. and Aunt Katie, to her great distress,
was compelled to break the record for the first
time. "I will never die." she used to assert,
Sroudly. “I will just dry up and blow away.
ee if I dou’t." And she almost kept her word.
At the time of her death it would not have
taken much of a gale to waft her away on its
pinions.
A prominent CLERGYMAN of Philadelphia, re
cently speaking of the relations existing be
tween clergymen, told the following astonish
ing anecdote. He said that no clergyman who
has ever been pastor of a New York church,
was more popular, in his day more famous, or
had a wider repute as a pulpit orator and a
public speaker than Dr. Edwin CbapitL Chapin
was a universallst, and Hor.toe Greeley was one
of his pariahoners. Dr. Chapin was smitten
with a mortal disease and it was public] y an
nounced in the newspapers. He had some
heart trouble, which did not prevent friends
from seeing him, but it was known it would end
his life in a brief time. He had been sick for
some five weeks, when one day the Rsv. Dr. Ar
mitage called. He was shJwn into Chapin's
room and found the distinguished clergyman
lying upon a sofa. When he saw Armitage he
burst into tears and Dr. Armitage was surprised.
Chapin said. "Doctor, I can’t help these tears,
hut they express gladness rather than sorrow.
Do you know that you are the first clergyman of
all of those who have professel friendship for
me who has called to see me or even sen? a mes
sage of sympathy to me in my illness Not a
single clergyman has been so considerate, and I
tell you it has been a bitter sorrow to me at this
time Two days Kter this great orator was dead,
and the only religous ministration or sympath
etic call he had during his final illness was that
of this Baptist clergyman.
