** The recent death o£ Mrs. Scott-eid-
dons and the many beautiful things
nou being said about her brings to my
urn 1 ran of th- nn. r : j.l. :ri In;;,- ,:i-
ddents with .which memory is stored. It
was In Columbus. Owing to. s pelting
rain storm, a finshloanblc wedding and
a cotHllon party, there were not twenty-
fire people In the theatre to hear Mrs.
Bcott-Slddons read, and the most of us
were teachers. But we made up In en
thusiasm for what was Sacking In. num
bers'; and, finally, we were ml invited
up on .the stage to meet the beautiful
woman, whose elocution had so charmed
tis. She was lovely. Afid her deafness
added to her charm, for she had a way
of putting her hand back of her car,
bending her shapely head a trifle for
ward and letting her soft brown eyea
smile pleadingly at you as she said
"Eh! Beg pardon," In tt way which re
minded you cf a mocking bird Just
getting ready to carol. She may not
have b«eo great as au actress, but she
certainly was womanly, and a charm.
Ingand n good woman. Grand-daughter
' of the famous Mrs. Blddons nnd thus
cousin to that Frances Kemble whom
Plctco Butter married and brought to
Georgia, Mrs. Soott-Siddons was born,
In India, but, upon the death of her
. father, she, with her mouther, settled
In Somersetshire, England. Her educa
tion was completed at Bonn, and It was
in Germany that she first mail, her
appearance on the stage. At the ago
of IT she met her husband,'whose fam
ily name was Chanter, which he sub
sequently changed to that of his wife's.
— Lovers of tho art of painting and
picture-making In all Its phases will
be greatly Interested in tho various r.o-
. Gpes of Theobold Chartran, Which from
now on will fill tho papers. This emi
nent genre painter will arrive in Amer
ica" about December 1st. His beautiful
wife will accompany him. The Chicago
Times-Herakl of the !0th Shows a por
trait of Mme. Chartran, In which her
beauty actually survives the newspaper
cut, from which one may conclude that
Mme. Chartran Is tho roost beautiful of
her sex. M. Chartran will be best re-
remerabered by his portrait of His Holi
ness Pope Lea XIII, which was shown in
the French ecotton of fine arts at tho
World's Fair. He will open a studio In
New York in order to execute his un
finished commissions of last year.

From the London Woman.
There is tho man, always well dressed
and charming- uf manner to straw; iru
and those outside of hlo own family,
who, when he Is nt home, la a perfect
terror and bear, treating hln wife ami
servants alike In the brutal candor of
his expressions on all topics, from the
cooking of Ids dinner to tlv personal
app- arance of the downcast tvinan
who is chained to him for Mfo, and w ho
had to' preserve un umlnblo and Inter
ested demeanor In all he says.
And there is another charmer closely
allied to him: he of moderate means
only, who Maps all the money In Ids
own hands, never giving his wife any
sum, Aged or otherwise, for hou.tkcep-
lng, or even for her own clothing or
that ot bis children; paying the bills
himself grudgingly, r.o matter how
small they ore, or how carefully tho
partner of his life has struggled to keep
down every Item—to his perfect knowl
edge. This creature spends what he
chooses on himself, of course; Is always
In the fashion; bin wife has to ptay at
home tho greater port of her life be
cause eho cannot appear constantly In
the same dress and cannot visit or
make new acquaintances for the same
reason, and very frequently has neither
boots nor gloven fit to put on. She oc
casionally has a sovereign tossed to
her across the breakfast table. "For
youreolf, my dear," and when she ven
tures to remark that she really must
have some money for the children, the
surly brute replies quickly as he rises
from the tabic; "Ah, well, perhaps I
will give 5’ou some more next week;
there's no hurry for the children," goes
to his cigar cabinet, takes tho best
flower out ot the nearest vase, nnd
strides oft to catch his train or call a
cab.
Then there Is the man who, when
about to change residences, insists on
finding and settling on a house which
he likes, never allowing his wife a voice
in the matter, although most nt her
lifo will have to be passed In that house.
This man pitches on a new suburb,
miles away from their old circle of
friends, and where most of the people
are what Thackeray calls "not quite."
Tho wife, who comes ot a county fam
ily, finds this, out when she cannot
know such people, although, of course,
she will return their visits, He speed
ily says that ho finds out from the men
ho meets in the train that many of
them have billiard rooms, and he means
to cultivate them on that account,
which Intention he thoroughly carries
out to some purpose; and on an average
he Is in other people's houses four
nights a week from 0 till 1:30, and very
frequently accepts their Invitations to
a "little dinner." These neighbors give
picnics also, to which they always In
vito him, and he goes, and when his
wife objects to being so much alone, he
says: "Confound you, then why don't
you know-the people I"
THE CASE OP GAIT. MINOR

Minor, assistant surgeon- of the United
States army; retired. Copt. Minor was
a native of New Haven, Conn., nnd
a gentleman of fine education nnd abili
ty, but eccentric add dliwolnle habits. 11c
was commissioned an assistant surgeon
In the army in 1864, nnd rendered valu
able hospital services in the field till
the cloeo of the war. During tho epidem-
lo of cholera to 'Now York In 1866 Dr. Mi
nor volunteered his services at Fort Co
lumbus, where It was almost Impossi
ble to induce a physician to go, and dis
tinguished himself and endeared himself
to tho patients of tho hospital and to
tho publio by herloo effort, to nulli
fy the contagion.. Largely by his abili
ties and the following of hlsihyglenlo
proscriptions the progress of the scourge
was stopped ii)ithfit vicinity. For his
services at Fort Columbus, congrats, Sep
tember 28, 18C6, conferred upon him tho
brevet of captain. His exertions during
the cholera epidemic nnd the looseness of
his private life shortly afterword so
undermined hi* health (hat ho was re

whleh were nlmost continuous, he was
accustomed to frequent resorts of tbe
lowest character, nnd on the 18th of Feb
ruary of (he year mentioned, while iri a
cheap hotel In Lambeth, he became en
gaged In a furious altercation with a
norklngmon, whom hn stabbed nnd
killed. Arrested and brought to trial,
the then American nml,-areader, Robert
C. Schenk, spared no efforts to insure
a fair trinl, nnd an light n sentence ns
possible, the greatest popular excitement
manifesting itself at the, time, both in
England in America. During the prog
ress of the trial tho plea of insanity was
advanced by tho defence. It had its ef
fect in preventing the death penalty,
but the court finally sentenced the pris
oner to lifelong confinement In Broad
moor lunatic asylum, where ho has since
remained, despite the efforts of several

puto Wall called Stripling a liar. This
has been denied by Wait who soya
Stripling attempted to strike him with

S BITING THEHIVKH ON FIRE.
Origin of This Popular and Kxprcsslvo
I'hrosc.
From St. Nicholas.
Ci;m«tlmea when a person wants to
maxs an unpleasant remark in a
S lcaeamt tort of way about a dull boy
a win ray. "That bay will never set
,tho, river on fire." Now, thnt la all
very trite, for even the emortiest man
In the .world could never set » stream
of water on fire, •» perhaps many of you
who have heard this expression have
wondered what it meant by setting the
river on (ire.
In England many, many years ago,
before the millers had machinery for
elftlr.-j flour, each family was obliged
to< sift its own Hour. Flor doing this it
was nceeaeary to use a clove, called a
ttrose, whCch wad so fixed that (t
could, bo turned round and round in
the ton. of (L. barrel. If It was turned
Mo fiot.thO'DOctlOJi would ramotlmos
carnso It .to catch fire, end as It was
only the smart, hardworking boy# who
could make tt go so fast os that, people
got Inn the way of polnt'ng out a lazy
boy by saylmc that he would never sot
tho temse on fire.
After awhile the sieves went out of
use, but oa' there were still plenty of
stupid boys In the world, people kept
on ortying that they would never set
the ternse on fire. Now, the name of
River Thames is pronounced exactly
like 1 the .word ‘hemse.’’, and so, after
many ,years, fthoeo persons who had
never soon or, heard of the old-fash
ioned sieve thought that “setting the
temso on fire” meant ectimer tho River
Thames on Are. Thla expression became
very popular nnd travelled far and
wide, until (he people living near other
Utreaims dkl not see iwhy it was any
harder for a slothful boy to set till
Thames on fire than any other river,
and so the name of tho river was
dropped, and everybody after that sinr
ply sold “the river,” meaning the river
of hln particular city or town, and (hat
Is hiaw H to that people today talk of
setting the river on fire.
WOMAN’S LONG HOURS,
SHE TOILS AFTER MAN’S DAY’S
WORK ib DON...
TYlmt She Hr* to Contend With—Work
That Sooner or X*at«r Breaks Down Hm
Organism.
The great majority of women "work
to live” and “live to work,” and as
tlio hands ot tho clock approach the
hour of six, those em
ployed in stores, offices,
mills andfactories, hall
closing thno with
joy. They
havo won
their day’s
bread,
but
some
duties
aroyct
to bo
performed, and many personal mat
ters to bo nttouded to. Thoy have
mending to do, and dyosses or bonnets
to make, nnd long into tho night they
toll, for thoy must look neat, and thoy
lmvo no thno during the day to attend
to personal matters.
Women, therefore, notwithstanding
their delicate organism, work longer
and more closely than men.
They do not promptly heed such
signs as hcudacL*,, Ibafikacho, blues,
pains in tho groins, bearing-down, “nil
gone” feeling, nervousness, loss of
sleep nnd appetite, whites, Irregular
or painful monthly periods, cold and
swollen feet, eta., all symptoms of
womb trouble, which, if not quickly
checked, will launch them in a sea of
misery. SkHH
There to but'one absolute, remedy
for alt those ills. Any woman who has
to corn her own living will find It
profilablo to koop her system fortified
with this tried and truo woman's friend.
Lydia E. I’Likham's Vegetable Com
pound speedily removes tho cause and
effects a lasting euro.
Wo aro glad to produco such lottera
as tho following from Miss M. G. Mr-
Kami c, 114 Catherine St., l.'tleu, N.Y.:
“ For months I lind been afflicted
with that tired feollng, no nmbltlon,
no appetite, and a hoavy bearing-down
feollng of tho uterus. I began to use
Lydia E. Plnkhara’s Vcgetablo Com
pound, Soorf those bad fcellnga passed
away; I began to havo more ambition,
my nppotlto Improved and l gained
rapidly in every way, and now I am
entirely well. I odvlso all my friends
to uso the Compound, it is woman'll
truest friend.”
