Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage is not only
the most resourceful of all American
pulpit-orators in illustration of great
truths by the homeliest analogies,
but he is the happiest in the use of
them—time, place and circumstances.
I have long thought him to be the most
gifted man ever born on the Amer
ican continent, humanly speaking.
There is nothing ho touches, from
the sublime to the ridiculous, from
the loftiest mountain to the hum
blest molehill, from the perfection
of beauty in its highest type, woman,
to the almost undiscernible dust in
the tiniest of flowers, that ho does
not adorn.
In one of his recent eloquent
sermons ho illustrates the sentiment
at, the head of this little tribute, by
saying “look not on the dark side,
God never made a black flower.’’

Few of our readers pay little attention
to foot-wear exoept as a necessary article
of apparel or when It happens to cover
a pretty foot, and fewer still ever give
thought to the skillful workmen and in
tricate machinery now required to produoe
a perfect pair of shoes.
Many would be astonished to visit a
large factory such ns W. L. Douglas’ at
Brockton, Mass., to see how the excellent
shoes manufactured by him could l»e made
to sell at such low prices. Never la the
history of shoe-making In this country
have 6uch values been put into foot-wear
as are shown to-dav, and never has a well
made and durable shoe been so completely
within the reach or tho masses as at the
present time.
This of course Is pleasant for tho consu

one should be careful to get the best

The system of stamping shoes with

CATTLE KATE.
Th* Amason Cowboy Lynohod by
Indignant Ranchmen.
Chktbnnk, W. T., July 23rd.—James Av-
eriil end the notorious cattle queen, Kate
Maxwell, were lynched by cowboy■ Sun

range queen dangled from the same limb
of a big oottonwood this morning The
scene of tbe lawless but justifiable deed of

for years. On account ol prejudice
agalnstthe large outfits it has been im
possible to convict on this churge, and ttio
rustlers have become bold. Averlll and
his remarkable partner have boen re
markably successful In thieving. Tlie
woman could hold her own on the range,

slightest pretext, and handling the lariat

out unnecessary noise. The thieves and

From the Washington Post.
Tho sad cases of the Misses Selden,
who were taken from their home at
188!$ Eleventh street, to 8t. Eliza
beth's insane Asylum on Friday, has
awakened universal sympathy in the
community, both among the general
public and by those who knew them
and their family connections. They
belonged to one of tho oldest families
in the district, and in the days when
the best society was ruled by the na
tive families theirs oocupied a leading
position.
Virginia, tlie eldest of tho ladies,
had always been recognized as a re
markable woman. Strong of will, she
was proud, haughty and reserved.
Her face was almost Madonna-iike in
its contour and placidity of expres
sion, her hair was of the richest
brown, jind a pair of beautiful eyes
of tho same color, caused a nervous
twitch in the heart of many a gallant
in the days of the long ago, when, as
tlie daughter of the treasurer of the
United States, and by virtues of her
own benuty and accomplishments, she
was a popular bell* in capital soelety.
The second daughter. Lillie was
looked upon as the particularly clev
er girl of a very clever family. She
was of a literary turn of mind, and
was better read than the vast major
ities of young ladies. She possessed
an interesting face, and while not as
handsome as her sisters, had a power
of conversation nnd a charm of man
ner which endeared her to all.
The youngest, Florence, who is now
about 28 years old, is a beautiful wo
man, possessing that rare combination
of brown eyes and golden hair. So
much did she resemble the well-known
picture of the turbaned Beatric di
Cenoi that a relative once presented
her with a portrait of the latter set in
brilliants.
All three have refused many offers
of marriage, and in recent years have
led a life of seclusion, shunning tho
best society, in which they previous
ly moved. Their father, William Sel
den was treasurer of the United
States for forty years, and the seclud
ed life of the daughters began with
his death, their mother having died
just previously. Their father died
with a cancer of the eye, and during
his long and terrible illness his three
daughters were the most devoted of
nurses. When the grave had closed
over him Miss Virginia became morose
to such an extent that it developed
into melancholia, and her depression
of spirits .was communicated to hor
younger ' sisters, especially to Miss
Lillie.
Virginia had a strong sense of the
proprieties and an incident occurred
some years ago which wounded her
E roud naturo and caused her to shut
erself up still more closely from the
world. Her half bi other, William,
married a Miss Shriner, and the mar
riage was kept j secret for several
months. That her half brother’s wife
should have been using a card with
“Miss” engraved on it while she was
a married woman so shocked Virginia
that a total estrangement resulted
between her and her half brother aud
his wife.
Recently another brother, who was
looked upon as a somewhat wild
young man, took a position as a
marker in a billiard room', or in some
such capacity. This tlie ladies look
ed upon as a disgrace to their name
and family, and it has preyed
on their minds ever since.
About two years ago the sisters op
posed the marriage of another broth
er. The marriage did not take place
anil an estrangement followed, but
whether it has since continued is not
known, for neither friends nor rela
tives have as a rule been able to get
into the house, and nothing at all has
boen known of them by their connec
tions.
The house in which they lived is a
handsome four-story one, elegantly
furnished, but the front blinds, with
one exception, were always closed,
and tlie building had a funeral as
pect.
This girl is perhaps the most fa
mous of her age in the United States.
Many people would like to know how
she looks. To accommodate all such
we copy from the Augusta Chronicle,
as follows:
Mrs. Dawson widow of the late la
mented Capt. F. W. Dawson, and
Marie Burdayrou, the now famous
“Swiss maid,” passed through Colum
bia from Charleston Wednesday morn
ing en route to Flat Rock, N. C. On©
of the trainmen told some one at th©
depot that, tlie two ladies were on th©
train, and in a few minutes every on©
in and about tlie station knew of it.
They stopped here about fifteen
minutes, and during that time there
was a constant stream of people pass
ing through the ear to get a glimpse
of the now celebrated “maid/’ The
water cooler in tho car was emptied
in a few minutes hy tho crowd, who,
all of a sudden, became very thirsty,
wanting to get a glass of ice water
being their real purpose.
One extraordinary thirsty young^
gentleman, who is connected with a
well known cotton house, said he
drank at least a gallon of water while
looking at the little maid, but he
didn’t mind a small matter like that.
The maid’s good looks liava not been
exaggerated. She is rather petite,
short and inclined to be stout, but
withal a beautiful little figure.
She Is a decided brunette—black or
dark brown hair and dark complex

almost reaching her shoulders, and
had on a neat little straw hat, worn

Bay that tho use of water In- small
quantities and short intervals is bene

light meals is essential to health at
this season, and another says that a

sensible and well .considered. He-
says that to retain good health in.
summer, one, should get as much
fresh air as possible, gua/d against
excess in eating, exercise in moderation
and keep cool. He tiiinks that fruits-
sliould form a considerable part of
one’s diet, but that grqat care should
betaken that the fruit is sound and
ripe, as probably more sickness during
summer is caused by unsound and
unripe fruit than by anything else.
Pure milk is also recommended, and
rice is claimed to be the best summer
food, as it is cooling, and tends to
keep the stomach in good condition ,.
Tlie summer bill of fare that he sug
gests is a small quantity of meat and
rice, fruits, vegetables and milk.

at night in water that has been warm

should bo absolutely pure. If they
are given milk, it should be kept at a
temperature of from 70 to 80 degrees.
They should be in the open air as
