Newspaper Page TextWOMAN’S WORLD. A PSW THINGS OP INTEREST TO THE FAIR sex. Gossipy Stories That Are Well Worth Reading:—Latest Fashion Wrinkles. Appetites of Brides—A Letter-Sign ing Fad. Yon have heard perhaps. says Clara Belle in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, that the tracery of the skin on the ball of any one person’s Unger differs from tbat on any other person. Well, this has brought about a pretty notion, and anew sealing wax is sold to carry it out. Of course, you use tbs teal for your own true love, and you don’t use it all unless you have taper fin gers, the tips of which are tiny and prettily marked. The new wax does cot harden auickly. When it is alm< st cool you press the tip of the selected finger into it and quickly withdraw it. The seal left is a delicate tracery like the markings on your pretty flDger. Only your true love will know from whom the letter comes. For, of course, you need not sign when that tell tale linger mark is there. Isn’t it a sweet notion I Borne girls use the idea iu a differ ent way. They take a little bit of colored paste on the tip of their Hager and then, where the signature should Oume they make a finger mark. The paste comes off, giving the same tracery. If you use a rosy pink paste the letter will seem to be ended by the sign of a crumpled rose leaf. And when your true love kisses it he will feel almost as if bis lips were touching the dear rosy fingers that made the mark. The cultivated but impecunious gentle women over the eea, says the .New York Sun, despite their conservative traditions, display more originality In taking up odd lines of work and in elevating common place callings to artistic and successful pro fessions than do the American wage earners, who press and jostle along in the over crowded fielde of woman’s work. Millinery, fruit and flower farming, poultry rearing, and buslnese of ail kinds are taken up by these killed dames of high degree, who re alize the futility of earuing a living by the more intellectual pursuits. The Woman's Tea Company of London is composed entirely of gentlewomen who import their own tea, blend, pack and sell it themselvee in the heart of fashionable Bond street. The tasting room is a pretty parlor where one is served with a cup of tea by a gentlewoman in a waitress' cap and apron. The company employs sixty women agent* and owns its own tea fields. In Pans a baroness and a company of ladies make and sell for oharity all manner of pure and delicately perfumed soaps, toilet waters, dentifrices, powders, eto. It Is quite the thing to bate the soap stamped like letter paper with the oreet, initials, or armorial bearings of the owner, and to have many tiny little cakes, called lawn tennis soap, just large enough for one using. On a fine day there is a long row of carriages waiting while their owners make their purchases and ohat with the baroness, who Is alwayw present supervising the business. “When I was in Lausanne last summer,” ■aid a woman to the New York limes, whose want of admiration for the English queen is well known among her intimates, ''l came out In a role that would have sur prised my friends, as it did myself. I act ually found myself defending Vlotoria, and to one of her own subjects, too, an English captain, whom I met several times while there. 1 ‘ln speaking of my stay in London I mentioned having seeu the queen, and, wishing to be very olvii, I refrained from farther comment, when, to mv astonish ment, be replied: 'And isn’t she an old frumpF I answered guardedly tbat while ■he did not present an ideally royal appear ance, 1 hardly thought her a ‘frump.’ ‘O, yea, you do,’ he replied, ‘and so do I, and ■he is, besides a selfish, useless creature.’ “ ‘At least,’ I cried, ‘you wiH admit that •be la a good wife and mother i' “The man turned and looked at me in un disguised wonder. ’Now what a funny thing that is for you to say,'he began. ‘So Is my wife a good wife and mother, but I am sure she never thought of taking credit for it. There are thousands of washer women in England who are good wives and mothers. Why, I think tbat is such an odd notion to apeak of. And 1 don’t think the prinoe consort would have agreed wl:h you either. Suob a life as she led him. The poor fellow never dared to say his soul was bis own. “ ‘And a narrow-minded, selfish woman nennot be a good mother in trie best sense cf the words. There are many better mothers than she In England. I want you to un derstand,’ he finished almost fiercely, ‘that •he is not In any sense a typical English woman.’ Which outburst from such a source amaied and really silenced me." As maidens, wearecxpeoted to b •tharnal, not only in dress and manner, but physi cally os well, says Clara Belle in the Cin cinatl fnquirer. But as bridee—well, that’s a time for the solid truth. ‘‘There’s ODly one drawback," said Tom to a friend just before his marriage to Mabel: “she’s a shade too ethereal, and how will a great, coarse, hulking, every-day fel low, such as I am, feel when running In double harness with a goddess! A goddess, absolutely! Bhe never eats. She’s like oue of those heroines one reads of in a novel— she simply ’partaKes.’ A wafsr, a sponge cake or a morsel of fowl, barely preceptlble on the end of a fork, are what she terms meals. Why, I’m actually afraid to kiss her. It Seems just like handling a butter fly—the slightest touch and down comes off the wlogs. No, I realize that she’s a million times too heavenly for me.” Now we skip to the morning after the wedding. Bathed lu sunshine, the private sitting room In the hotel at Niagara, with Its tastefully-bedecked breakfast table, ap peared a cage sufficiently gilded even for a pair of newly-wedded lovers, Mabel, her dewy freshness and fair loveliness enhanced a thousandfold by a ravishing wrapper, all frills and snowy purity, appeared to Tom a perpetual feast for mind, body and estate, and he seated himself, entirely bereft of his usually heal thy appetite. Mere animal food in bis divinity’s presence seemed little short of gross Insult. Her divinity’s eye, how ever, ranged over the well-spread board with a shade of dissatisfaction. “O," she cried, with a pretty little assumption of authority, as a deferential waiter glided into the room, ‘‘bring a good sized steak as quickly as possible.” "But, my precious,” remonstrated Tom, rather taken aback as the servant disap peared, "I really couldn’t eat a mouthful. Honestly, a cup of coffee, one of your sweet est smiles, and " “Nonsense, you silly boy!" she Inter rupted laughingly; “you must eat. What are these? O, eggs! They will serve to amuse until the steak is ready.” And her snowy fingers grasped a spoon. Tom sat amnzed. One, two, three, four eggs disappeared, and when the smoking steak arrived he mochanically out a modest portion, weighing, perhaps, three-quarters of a pound, from which the blood-reil gravy lusciously oozed, and placed it on her plate. This shs worked her way through in the same business-like manner and finally drop ping her knife and fork with a little sigh of satisfaction, cooed softly: “Really, it’s uot half bad! But you are eating nothing yourself, darling. Do try a piece of steak! It’s lovely I” "I oouldn’t really, pet. But, if you have finished and will permit me a cigars! to " "Certainly, poppet. And, O, Tom! if you think that horrid old waiter won't return fora bit I’ll try and smoke one, too.” In a semi-dazed condition be handed her his case. After a delightful stroll on Goat Island, followed by a luncheon worthy of the break fast, Mabel expressed a desire fora nap, and Tom, after tenderly arranging the cushions, betook himself to a newspaper. Presently, from the sofa there came a succession of snores, gradually Increasing in volume. “8cott!" murmured Tom aghast, “for a goddess this Is a startling take down.” When, in the gleaming, they sat beneath a veranda overlooking tbe swiftly-fiowing stream, he ventured to say, timidly: “But you never used to eat enough to satisfy a bird, darling, whereas now “SlHjr old boy!” she chirped. “Do you think I didn’t visit the pantry in between whiles: I’ve got a splendid appetite, Tom. dear, but you know it always seemed indelioate to expose it while we were en gaged.” “Thank goodness,” he answered, stifling her with kisses, “I was half afraid of pass iug my days with a goddess, whereas now I find she’s flesh and blood. Here, waiter I Two dozen fried oysters for supper and broiled lobsters to follow |” “And a Welsh rarebit and bottled ale,” chimed in his divinity. Not long ago, says tbe New York Times, there was a luncheon up town given by a woman well known in New York's social life, whose guests were invited to meet “the Misses Blank.” At the appointed hour a oompany of a dozen women were assembled in the hostess’ parlor, coupleting the ex pected number of guests with the exoeptioa of the sisters in whose honor the feast was held. Time wore on, the company grew hungry, and the hostess had visions of spoiled lunch eon, but still tbe Misses Blank tarried. At length, when a full half hour beyond the hour had struck, luncheon was announoed. and with a brief comment that tbe young women must have been suddenly and un avoidably detained, the hostess ushered her friends to the table. The long lunoheon was finished, and later, adieus spoken with no word from the missing guests of honor, and everybody went away ouriouito know wiiatoould have happened. In these days of messenger boys and telephones, to prevent the Misses Blank from at least making gome sign of its im port. A few days later, however, this curiosity was gratified. A note from her late hostess reached eaoh guest present, say ing that in justice to tbs Misses Blank she hastened to explain that through a curious freak of absent-mindedness she had neg lected to send them any invitation to the luncheon intended as a compliment to them. Which explanation fully exonerated the young women and proved amusing to all concerned, except perhaps the hostess. There is a lot of character in tongues, says Clara Belle in the New York Press. I don’t mean in speech—of course there is character in tbat. I mean Id tongues themselves. I learned it from a doctor. Of course the first thing a doctor does Is to say “Let me see your tongue." Now there is all the dif ference in the world in the way different people put out their tongues, and not only that, but in tbe tongues themselves. One persou’s tongue is broad and thick and rolls out. It has no point in partloular, and seems rather a mouthful. Its color, when it is its natural color, and does not consti tute a symptom for the doctors, Is a deep red, a bit purplish down the middle, and quite purplish on the under side. I seems to me that toe mere description of the tongue gives au idea of tbe character. An other and quite an opposite style of tongue is thin. The owner pusbee it away out from the lips, and it comes out sharp and pointed, with a quick dart. It holds itself ■tiff and the point turns up a little. Th# two sides of the tongue are al most of a color, a bright light red, tbe point being almost cherry colored. The texture of the tongue is about the same on both sidos, the veiuing on tbe under side being only a little darker red, and not seem ing full and loose as it did in the other tongue. The whole tongue also seems dry, while the other one was wet. Both the thick and the thin style of tongue are of many kinds. Some thick ones widen and fill the mouth without being pushed out at all for inspection. Others are pushed way out and are almost square. At any rate, they are qalte blunt. The thick tongue. If pushed out at all, usually hangs a little downward. Often it merely make* a sort of bag of the lower lip, by pusniug it out. The thiok tongue comes out between scarcely parted lips. On the contrary, the thin tongue is thrust sharply from the throat, the lips being well clear of it on alt sides. Sometimes the thin tongue is thrust out with tbe point directed downward, but this is not usual. Sometimes tbe thin tongue cornea out curled up along the edges, ana so making a deep groove along the middle. The thin tongue inclines to present a oon cave surface, the thick one to be convex. Some tongues of tbe thick kind, even when “healthy,” have very littls color. And that little is chiefly down the middle and on tbe under side. Many thiu tongues lack ooLr, the most, however, at tbe point. After all there is more than figurative elgntflcauoe in the phrase “a sharp tongue.” I will war rant it is tbe pointed tongue the tongue that thrusts forward like a swift fang, that says tbe cruel “sharp” things. The tbiok red tongue belongs to a slow passionate na ture. The thin tongue goes with mental alertness, nervous power, and oooi feelings and swift temper. But why tell you so! A bright, solf-po.sessed, alert individual habitually carries his tongue well back of his teeth, and it occupies little room in bis mouth. The slow man, in all stages to the idiot, lets his tongue more or less crowd bis mouth, and thrust itself loosely between the teeth, and even between the lips. Women have bright red a id thin tongues as a rule, sharp ones, too, more often than havo men. But then, poor dears, they need them. If Lillian Russell, the oelebrated New York actress, can give points In dressing to her sisters of the stage, so she can to many a much heralded “leader of fashion." She knows what will become her and wears that alone, tbs whole secret of dressing well. Her boudoir naturally bears evidence of this same bon pouf, and is a dream of white and gold which would delight James McNeil Whistler, for it is a perfectly exquisite "ar rangement.” Dainty and well selected treasures have aoouiuuiatad in it, and noth ing jars; the harmony is perfect. Thenret ty little room is indeed a boudoir in its true sense, and its cosy arrangement is in irself an invitation to a eauserie or to a musicals. Of course Miss Russell has diamonds galore, and of course she has a dog. That has been told. But what is not generally known is that her birth-month stone is th* turquoise, and if she has a fad it is that of collecting turquoises. Bhe has to-day the finest col lection la America, a claim once put forth by Mrs. Langtry. She wears much of her jewelry on the stage, but it is not noticed, as the brilliant siiarkle of her eyes and that exquisitely chiseled profile of hers attract more attention than the geins. As to tbe pet dog, named No No, he is tbe smallest Japanese spauiel in this country. No No trips about mid the regal finery of his mis tress as if to the manor born. He is every inch a Japanese prmoelet and curio, if Miss Russell has n weakness it is one wbioh is at present that of many others—the col lecting of souvenir spoons, from Alaska down to New Orleans, and her friends are daily adding to tbe interesting collection. Surely, whenever we take our walks abroad, how many signs we see that we are admirable, says Clara Belle in the New York Tress. Ah me! We girls get blamed for vanity and all that, bat remember what is expected of us! If a man is bald-hea led he needn’t caro. He can go out in tbe world and let the sun shine on bis head and if people snv anything they say how dis tinguished he loos*. Now think what an awful howl there would be if a bald-headed woman went into publio view without her front piece. Of course I kuow some men wear front pieces, but they don’t have to. As to teeth, also, a man Is not obliged and constrained by public opinion to keep hie rows of pearls apparently intact, no mat ter what happens, but a woman is. Poor thing 1 Of course she usually wants to, she wouldn’t be a woman if sbe didn’t, but in tlieee days when women have many griev ances, it is just as well to realize this one. It is as big a one as lots of the others about whioh ti ey make speeches and cry out ■gainst in publio. It shows just as dearly that there is really no such thing, even yet, as “equality of tbe sexes.” Is a man expected always to wear a ■mile and look pretty I No, indeed! Must a man spend half of hla time in front of a mirror, a curling Iron In bis band, if hla THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1892—SIXTEEN PAGES. hair dose not ourl of Itself, which, if he is a woman, it usually doesn’t 1 know that re mark is a bit mixed, but one is apt to get mixed when talking about women’s wrongs. A women has to be a slave to a curling iron if sbe expects to get along in the world. Poor thing! Bhe can't go out into publio view with a little thatch of whipy, straight hair hanging in her eyes. A man can and does. “If girls only knew,” remarked a woman eminent in her profession as a physician, to the Brooklyn Citizen, “how they disfigure themselvee by continually biting their lips, I think that they would make the effort to break themselves of the habit. “In infancy the red line of tbe lower edge of the lip Is very clearly defined. Constant irritation with the upper teeth sometimes extends the red oolor for half or three quarters of au inch below the original line and destroys the symmetry of the mouth. The lip becomes thickened and sometimes luflamed, frequently there are deep creases or cracks and the wind and sun burn and discolor it until it is almost a positive de formity. "An ugly mouth Is often the result of a habit which hns its rise In the possession of a dimple. Who has not seen girls and even middle-aged women in street cars making themselves absolutely ridiculous in thsir efforts to create a dimple by biting their Ups! Every sensible person in the car who took the trouble to observe them at all was, doubtless, laughing at them for their folly, but, ail unconscious, they kept on with this silly practice. Absolute repose of the features should he taught every ohlld as a part cf Us earliest lessons.” "So Mrs. F is dead,” said a woman of sooiety to one of her friends tbe other day, according to the New York Tribune. “Well, sue has had a good record. I never saw her at any time that she was not per fectly dressed. Ido not think she was ever guilty of an unlady-like action in her life and she was certainly the youngest-looking woman of her age 1 ever saw. If we could all do as well as that we ought to be content.” “I am told she was very charitable," sup plemented the other. “O, yes, I believe she was,” assented her friend, rather vaguely. “Anybody can be charitable, but it is not every one tbat can be grande dame down to her very finger tips, like Mrs. F .’’ AN OLD LETTER Found in the Spanish Florida Archives m Seville. From the St. Augustine <.Fla.) Neus. The following letter, found among the Spanish Florida arohives, in Seville, Spain, has never been translated or published be fore. It was written by an Indian Caoique living in Vitaohuoo, now known as Pavn’s Prairie, Fla. Tbe town was named for a former chief living there with hi* people, who was killed by DeSoto, A. D. 1539. The letter con tains expressions of gratitude for favors re ceived from tbe governor during his reoent visit to them. The Caoiaue having heard of the governor intending to leave for Spain, petitions him to Intercede with tbe king in behalf of bis people, who have been sentenced to work on the fert in St. Augus tine, as a punishment for murdering the missionaries, and tbat they be released in consideration of their former ignorant con dition.

"Jlmay," a Cheetnut Horse, Enjoys Life In Bplte’Of Misfortune. From the New York Herald. A horse with a broken neck, whioh soemi to on joy life as much as any other, has ex cited tbe interest of the students of the New York College of Veterinary Burgeons. “Jimsy," as the animal is called, lives iu the oollege stable.-, No. 333 East Twenty-seventh street. "Jimsy” eomes of good trotting stook, and were he only able to hold his head a little higher from the ground could prob ably get over tbe ground iu lively fashion. As it is be has to be careful bow be walks around lest be step on his own bead. The animal is a 4-year-old chestnut, 15.1 hands high. When a 2 year-old he ran away and dashed bead first agulnst a stouo wail. The force of tbe blow caused a fracture of the fourth articulation of the cervical verte brae —that is to say, a broken neck. The right dorsal bone and several smaller ones were crushed, and being still pliable on ac count of the youth of the horse, knitted to gether. Ossification began, and now there is a bony lump th? size of a watermelon on the horse’s shoulder and neck. Tne animal’s bead hangs within a few Inohes of the ground. The neck is bent to tbe left, so that a person seeing the animal for the first time might suppose it was trg log to bite its left tore boot. “Jlmsv’a” appetite is even better than that of the ordinary horse. He has some difficulty in drinking, however, as be can hardly raise his head high enough to get bis lips into a pail. Henry Amling, William Cook and Nor man L. Littell are owners of the horse. They bought him in Westchester county for a small price from the farmer who owned him, to whom the animal was worthless, except as a curiosity. Tbe farmer said that when “Jimey” broke his neck he oame near being shot, but when it was seen tbat he ■till took an interest in the affair* of tbit world it was decided to let him live. Professor of Veterinary Hurgerv C. F. MoadtDger, who has examined the horse, pronounces the case unique in veterinary surgery. The ligaments, he eays, are fractured and the spinous prooees is also broken. If the fraoture bad extended bait an inch further tbe apinai cord would have been broken and ’’Jimsy’’ would have died instantly. Death would have followed also had the horse been a few years older at tbe time of the aocldent. Dr. Luke, who leoture* at the college on the pathology of the foot, and Prof. Gill, lecturer on thoory and practice in veteri nary surgery, have also examined the horse carefully and pronounce the case a true broken neck. ECCLESIASTIC HONORS. THE WEKK OF THE GREAT VATI CAN CONSISTORY IS AT HAND. Cardinal Benefices America Will Probably Come In for a chare of Them at This Important Meeting. ICoDVrtght. 1893.) New York, Deo. 10.—A succession of important events will mark the closing . days of the octogenarian pope. They will signalize the climax of a notable adminis j tration. The oousistory cf this week will ! ue followed in February by the great jubi lee, for the pope will then nave been for fifty years an archbishop. This will be fol lowed by a second consistory in Maroh and then it seem* almost as though the work of the great successor of Pope Pius IX. were well rounded off. To Americans the consistory is especially important. With about 10,500 churches, ohurch property valued at *120,000,000 and almost 7,04)0,000 communicants and mem bers, there seems reason for the contention that cardinal honors are in plaoe. And for these great prizes in the church there are twelve archbishops to select from, with the great Catholic orators Archbishops Ryan and Ireland in the van. It is an open secret that tbe mission of Mgr. Batolll, archbishop of Lepanto, "the man nearest the pope,” had muoh to do with tbe subject of new car dinal priesthoods, more than the laity im agined, and more than tbe archbishops be lieved. “The eye of the Vatican has been on America,’' said a prominent clergyman to me, “with a fixedness which marks it ns a field for the bestowal of special honor*. Cahensly and Batolli have both been pApal observers, the former in the line of educa tion, the latter in the hlgner realm of church polity. But both have been im pressed with the solidity of the Catholic institutions of America and both have made most flattering reports to the Vatican. The defeat of Cahenslyism, of Catholic nationalization in the United States has been due to the very solidity of the Ameri can branoh of the Catholic churoh and to the patriotism of American ( athollos. This has made a deep impression on the papal see, and the reoall of Cahensly followed by the pope’s liberal utterance on the sobool question snows tbe marked favor with whioh the ‘home’ programme of tbe Amer ican priesthood is now regarded abroad.” WILL WORK IN THE WRST. So far it is fair to presume that Cardinals Gibbons and Tascbereau will be given at least two new assistants, men who will work iu the great wpßt and southwest. Archbishop Corrigan, perhaps is the most conservative of American arobbUbops, isnot without a host of friends at tbe Vatican, and it may be that his very conservatism, opposed tbough it Is to the liberal spirit now pervading the Catholic church of America, will be the most cogent season for a cardinal priesthood. In fact, there are those who believe that the mission of Mgr. Farley had to do with the cardinalate. But there are eighteen vacancies to fill in the all powerful cardinals' college, and it is presumed that at least ten will be sup plied. Five cardlnalates ure certain for Europe. These are Lours, Rouen, Urau, Dipietro and l’ersioo. Grau Is for Austria, but Mgr. Kopp, tbe prince bishop of Brea lau, ii by no means certain of honors. Ger many is not in favor at the vaticau. and all tbe Influence of the propaganda is now being direoted to keep the clerical party in the Reichstag in line against the army bill. They have no Wiiidtborst to fight their bat tles now, but a host of strong minded men lead the party. It is an opeu secret that tbe Emperor of Germany urged the appoint ment of Bishop Kopp, but lh? pope has de manded concessions for the nonor, and in all likelihood the cardinal's hat will go to tbe archbishop of Cologne or the arch bishop of Posen. The appointment of the archbishop of Colugne i* bitterly opposed by the German government and a re-enact ment of the May law s might follow In its wake. It will be a dangerous appointment to make and the vatioan is nothing if not conservative. Austria has asked for three cardinals, and this Catholic country will probably be conceded two, including the Grau appoint ment. The arohbisbop of Seville will probably also be named a cardinal. Eng land may be given a successor to Its great cardinal, but tbe general sentiment about tbe vatioan seems to iucline to the belief that this appointment will be deferred until March. The consistory will have muoh else of Importance to consider, however. The papal encyclical will be promulgated and will refer especially to the church In the east Iu bis speech, however, special refer ence Is to be made to the questions which have been agitating America, more par ticularly the school question. But his po< sltion will probably differ little from the published utterance* on the occasion of the recent appeal. TROUBLES IN SPAIN. The trouble between the Spanish factions is another topic for discussion, and the Uganda affair will not go untouobed. Not withstanding the death of Cardinal Lavig erie, who was deputed to investigate the case, bis report will be read to tbe consis tory. This, it is understood, will show up English interference in a rather unfavor able light, and copies will lie sent to every Catbolio in England and Ireland. In tbe oonsistory whioh is in session this week are famous men, divines and diplo mats, men versed in ail the iutnoaoiea of ohuroh learning and men equipped with all tbe greater intrioaoles of church polity. Cardinal San Felice it one of these. He is au extremely old man, but one of tbe shrewdest of diplomats in that greater school of diplomats, the Vatican. It is to Han Felice the pope turns, os did his Drede oeesor, when the King of Italy it to be con sulted, and next year there may be fresh cause for his services. Italy’s king and queen celebrate their silver wedding in April, tbe pope his golden jubilee in Feb ruary. These great events call for a rap prochement of some kind, and Han Felloe will bring ii about if it is possible. The great papal secretary of state, Car dinal ltauipolla, is a notable figure in the oonsistory. He it is ou whom the anger of the German emperor was turned for per haps a too vitriolic opposition to tbe triple alliance, Rampolla inspired tbe great ATud thorel in many of the latter’s most virulent attacks upon the policy of the German gov ernment. He is still a young man, and was natoei a cardinal but five years ago. He to-day inspires Cnspi in the letter's opposi tion policy in the unwonted vigor with which the ex-premier seeks to break the triple alliance and bring Italy iuto touch with Franoe. Incidentally I might that tbe German party, hea led by Archbishop Ledoohowskl will have little power in tbe consistory—as little aa they had in foisting Caheuaiyiam on America. The general situation of Europe, I might add iu oonoiuslun, will reoelve attention in tbe pope’s address. Itlsoertain in view of the strengthening of the armies of conti nental rations that the great Christmas dis course of four years ago, in which the pops appealed most pleadingly for peace, will he repeated. Compare a Modern Bill with This. However moderate the expenses of a student of ttie present time may be, they can hardly reach ihe extremely modest sum which suf ficed for Jeau Murmontcl. a French poet, dur ing the reign of Louis XV.. for a jeer’s school ing, In his “memoirs" he speaks of his school life as follows: “1 won lodged, as was the custom of the school, with five other scholars at the bouse of a meehan.c. "My provisions for a week consisted of a large loaf of rye bread, a littlo cheese, a piece of bacon and two or three pounds of beef.

A Prisoner Walks to Jail Alone and Hunts Deer En Route. From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. One of the most anomalous cases known to Keutuoky criminal procedure was triad at the September term of the Lewis county circuit court in 1836. It was peculiar, not so much on account of the crime (mayhem) as beoaure of the unheard of conduct of the sheriff and prisoner after oonviction. In the spring of 1836, Larkin Lyles and Edward Campbell, two prominent citizens of Lewis county, e igaged in a rough-and tumble fight at Vanceburg. They were both powerful inen physically, and, as wit nesses afterward testified, they hit one another like “Asses a-klckin'.” Finally, after each contestant hnd registered a number of knock-down blows, Campbell got bis opponent down, and pro ceeded to punish him in harmony with the most approved methods of the old-time fistic art. Lyles, who dad “worn the belt" for several generations, grew desperate at the awful prospect of being “licked,” and, raising his head with bulldog ferocity, be seized the nether lip of the prospective victor between las teeth and eliminated a large chunk of the inner part of It. At the succeeding term of the circuit court the grand jury indicted Lyles for the crime of mayhem, and a trial was at once aoonrded the defendant. The jury, after listening to the testimony, retired, ami, after a prolonged oonsultatlou, returned a verdict of guilty. Judge Walker Reid, therefore, ssutenced the defendant to the penitentiary for one year. And now come the features of the case that constitute it a striking anomaly iu criminal history. The sheriff, W. B. Darker, nick-named “Buck,” was a life-loug chum of the sen tenced man. Accordingly, instead of tak ing possession of Lyles' person, he told him to “go home, and he would see him on the following day.” Lyles, aoting on this liberal suggestion, mounted his oil black horse and left for home, seven mile* south of tbe county seat. Ibe next day Barker rode out to Lyles home, and found the latter “cutting up corn." ‘ ‘Hello, friend Larkin!" shouted the sheriff, riding up to the rail fence, a few steps away from the prisoner (!). “Hello, Buok! Good mornin’.’’ “Hard at work, I sec!" “Yep; cittln’ my hand in, ye see, so’s it won't go ser fox-laked hard wlm mo when I git tor Frankfort," “Kr, haw, haw, haw, bawl" merrily shouted the sheriff. “When do you think you’ll be ready to start, Larkin!” “I can’t tell jist ylt, Hunk,” returned Lvles, coming up to the fence and resting bis arms on the top rail. “Wal, about when do you think!” “Lerntne see, now,” returned the sen tenced man, scratching hi* head in puzzling cogitation. "I’ll try ter git ready two weeks from ter day. Ye see, Buck, I’ve got er heap sight o’ things ter see to afore I kin possibly git off. The oo’n Is all ter cut up, my Rtray hogs must be hunted and put up, an' (lead oodles uv other matters ter see to; but I’ll be ready by that time if tiiar's no providential hindrances." "All right, friend Larkin; I don’t want to disoommode ye no way, shape or form or fashion. Thar ain’t no big hurry fer ve down tbar ter Frankfort that I kin oee. It's got along very well so fur without ye, an’ I guess it can do a leetle while longer. Go right ahead an’ fix up ycr matters go's Polly Ann will hev as little trouble as possible, and when ye’ve got perfeotly ready, it I don’tsee ye ’tween now an’ then, jist come on in an’ we’ll go.” * ‘Ail right, Buck. Come around to tbe house. I hear the dinner horn a-blowin’.’’ * ‘l’ll do it, Larkin, fer I beam yer eon John killed a fine fat deer yesterday, an’ ter git a few mouthfuls of it Is mostly what brought me over to-day.” Two weeks later Larkin Lyles came In and reported to tbe sheriff. “Well,” spoke the sheriff, "if you’ve ready, Larkin, lam. Whioh route do they want to tuke!” "I don’t know whnt’s your choice route. I propoee to go the netrdest way, through the liille, an’ take my gun au’huut through to Frankfort.” “All right, Larkin,” returned the sheriff. “You walk through, if it subs you bent. I’ve got u little uizness ter sso to nt Mayi vllle;eo l’U jlst go on thar au’ tend to it, an’ then take the stage over the turnpike. I’ll try to be there before you do.” “You’ll have to make mighty good time, Book, ef ye do.” So sheriff and prisoner started for Frank fort, each taking a separate route. On the way through the hills Lyles killed several doer and arrived at Frankfort before the sheriff got there. He reported at once to Gov. Clark. When the latter entered the waiting room Lyles arose and extended his hand. “Be you Gov. Clark!" “I am, sir. What can Ido for you!" “But me In the penitentiary,” wa> the la oonio reply. “Butyou In the penitentiary!” exclaimed the bewildered executive. ‘‘What do you mean!” "Jiat what I sed. I wuz tried in Lewis oounty for bitin’ off adurn outs’ lip, an’ the judge sentenced me. Ain’t Sheriff Barker never showed up yiti” “No, sir; I kuow nothing about your case. I’ve no authority to put von in the peni tentiary, Where is the sheriff l” "Why," returned the astonished Lyles, “hain’t he never cum! He started the same time I did, an’ az 1 walked through, an’ he took the stage, I’d think be orter be here. I’m kinder unea-y erbout him.” While they were discussing, and the old governor was puzzled over the strange case, the sheriff came in. The two friends leaped toward one an other with uuuatural exclamations of de light. After they had shaken bands warmly the sheriff, who knew the governor well, intro duced the prisoner as ono of the "best hearted men In Eastern Kentucky.” "Well, now," spoke the governor, “let's understand this business. Was this man sentenced to the penitentiary for mayhem!” ••No," returned the sheriff, “not for May hens—it was for biting a piece outea the in side of Ed Campbell’s lower lip. An’ now I want ter tell ye, governor, there never was a batter man than Larkin Lyles, an’ 1 want ter say furder, that Ed Campbell is a heap sight better lookin’ man than he was before. His lip wuz a heap too thlok, governor, an’ Larkin jlst trimmed it down to about the right size." “Well," returned Gov. Clark, laughing, “isn’t It rather strange conduot in an officer leaving a man sentenced to the penitentiary to oome alone! Did you know you were responsible for him!” "Sartinly, governor, I knowed all that. I knowed jist what I wuz doin’. If you knowed Larkin az well az I do you wouldn’t a-been afeared ter trust him, either. I hope you’ll pardon me, governor, for this little irregularity.” "Yes, I will,” returned Gov. Clark, “and I’ll pardon him, too. You can both go home.” Bo ends this account of the most oele brated criminal case of this section. The truth of it can be substantiated by the reoords of the he wis county oiroult court, and by men of the highest veracity, who, though old, still retain a vivid remembrance of this remarkable oase.

BOMB VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES ABS TO BE AGITATED In Independence Hall, Where There Have Been Before Many Ringing Appeals for Legislative and Con gressional Action. (Coktrij'.tj 1892.) Phil\dblpiha, Dec. 10.—When Presi dent Samuel Gompere calls the 12th an nual convention of the American Federa tion of Labor to order to-morrow it will be in a spot hallowed by a great cluster of his tories reminiscences—in famous Indepen. deuce ball, Philadelphia. “It will be a historic convention,” said Mr. Gompers—“historio in its arraignment of the wrongs inflicted on labor and its ring ing appeals for legislative and congres sional aotion. The subjoota for discussion will be numerous, tad In the light of the year’s great development in the labor Held they will be of the deepest interest. Per haps as conspicuous a figure as any will be Lapt. John O’Brien, the national organizer for Oregon. Ho comes to give us the inside history of the Coeur d'Alene strike, and as far as lam able to learn u was cer tainly one of the greatest outrages of the century. The developments at the federa tion meeting will show tc the satisfaction of the people that the troops shot down miners who were at no time on tbs offeuiive, always on the defensive. And now Ise that Judgo Heallv of Idaho has enjoined the miners from holding meetings, an infringe ment on their constitutional privileges, if ever there was such an infraction. Nor will the Coeur d’Alene strike be tbe only one up for thorough discussion. The strikes in Tenneiseo, brought about by a vlolous convlot contract system, will be thorougnly investigated. Bo will the affair* at Buffalo and Homestead. And, by the way, the iant that the strike in the latter place has been called off will iu no way interfere with the general observance of Dee. 18 as Home stead day, tbe day on whioh the wage earn ers of the oouutry will be asked to con tribute something to tbs destitute in the Pennsylvania town. STRENGTHENING MOVSS. “The strengthening of the existing labor organizations will claim our attention first of all. We look to the extending of trades unionism, and hope to get into tbe fold of the federation the organizations of railroad men now so ably led by Messrs. Arthur and tiargent. “The immigration question will receive considerable attention. We believe iu re striction to a degree, and the discussion will probably bo on this basis. "The reduction of the hours of labor to eight will he thoroughly agitated. We will agitate for a concentration of effort In this direction. Twenty per cent, of the em ployed have now the 8-hour day, but the rule Is about nine hours, and there are many instances of still longer hours. “Then, too, we will appeal for a change in the conspiracy laws, enactments which, as they stand now on the statute books, are exceedingly unjust. “ The prohibition of child labor needs our urgent attention. It is evident that where there are such laws they are not enacted. We want the age limit fixed at 14 years. Under the laws of New York state a child cannot be compelled to work more than sixty hours a woek. There is nothing to pre vent it working twenty hours a day during the first or last three days of a week. But the rigid enactment of new laws is a quoe tion whioh will be impressed upon the minds of legislators. “Then the question of liability of employ ers for accidents to workmen will be con sidered. Where accident* are the rsenlt* of improperly guarded maohlusry the rights of tho laborers should bo mors stringently looked after. “ The convict contract system beoomes of special and mott timely iuterost in view of the Tennessee strikes We do not believe that convicts should be kept iu idleness, and when they are so kept It is generally for the purpose of causing a reaction In favor of a convict oontraot system. We want oonvlct labor regulated only so far as does it not in terfere with tbe work of the wage earner. Wo believe in work for the oonvlat whioh will do him the largest amount of good and which will do tbs unoonvioted laborers the least harm.” INTERNAL CFIANUKS NEEDED. Mr. Gomoers referred Incidentally to a number of needed internal changes which were of importance only to the members of tbe federation. Tba representation In the convention will be larger than ever. Many new organizations have been reoently organized, notably that uf street oar conductors aud motormen, and all of the.* will have their delegates ou hand. There Is every indication that the reso lutions direoted against the Pinkerton sys tem are already framed aud are long and of a stirring nature. They review in detail every one of the seventy strikes in whioh Pinkertons were called upon to interfere. They call attention to these repeated trea sonable transactions of employer* and ask for such legislation a* will prevent a repeti tion of the Homestead and other like affairs. The evidence given before the Heuate com mittee during its recent investigation of the Homestead strike is utilized, and a large amount of testimony against employers and Pinkerton* is del noted [therefrom Among tbe delegates will be a group representing tho Tennessee miners, “and tbe resolutions ou tbe troubles in that state hinge altogether ou tbe charge of a misera ble perversion of tbe law and a breach of faith on tbe part of the stale government.” The miner delegatee of Ten nemo* have already outlined the legislation they jneed In their state, and for this programme they will ask the indorsement of the federation. The headquarters of tbe executive ooun cll will be at tbe Girard house, aud there the credentials will be passed upon to-mor row morning. Tbe present executive council comprise* Hamuei Gompers, president; P. J. McGuire, first vloe pretident; William A. Carney, second vloe president; Chris Flvans, secre tary, and John B. Lennon, treasurer. GOMPERS TO RE RE-ELEOTED. All of these will probably be re-elected, although there is some talk of a ohange in the vice presidencies, and should the great railroad labor organizations daoids to join they will certainly be honored by one of these olßoes. The re-election of President Gomperi is a foregone conclusion. The trades union* of Philadelphia bar* also arranged an elaborate programme for the entertainment of tbe guests, and a re ception committee, under the guidance of H. 1- Minas, will see that the delegates are properly looked after. The representation in tbe convention will be upon the following basis: International and national unions with less than 4,000 mem' ers, one delegate; for 4,000 members or more, two delegates; for 8,000 members or more, three delegatee; for 16,000 members or mors, lour delegates; for 32,000 members or more, five delegates, and au on. Local, trade or federal labor unions, state federa tions, central labor unions, trades assemblies or trades oounotle, one delegate each. Then Baby was siek, we gave her Ceetorla.
