A BEAUTIFUL GIRL IS ENVELOPED IN
FLAMING OIL. ,
Portsmouth, Ohio, Nov. 14.
MU® Bertha Wright, ene of the
moet beautiful and sec<mplished
young ladi#e in the city, was prob- <
ably fatally burned this evening
at 7 o’clock.
She was fitting reading beneath
a hanging lamp at her home on
West Seventh street, when the
hangings of the lamp gave way,
and it exploded at her f eet, the
flame enveloping her at once.
She was alone, and went scream
irig to the street, her clothing flam
ing high abme her head. Her cries
; attracted Captain Williamson,
Chief of the Fire Department, and
he ran to her rescue.
After some desperate work he
eucteoded in smothering the flames,
but not until the poor girl was
burned beyond recognition. Her
cries to belput out of her horrible
agony were heartrending. The un
fortunate igcrl is a daughter <*f Hen
ry Wright, the well-known ooh
tractor . She is 21 years old.
HER WEDDING PRESENTS.
VM. TLA US’ sued tiffany ant won
HER CAaE.
New York, Nov., 15. —Myrtilla
F. Hart to-day entered suit in the
Supreme Court against Tiffany <fc
Go. far $2,500, alleged value of
silverware and other property in a
trunk which was given inrtc thei"
charge.
She was married in I'BB4, at
Charleston, S. C., to Joshua L.
Hart , and seperated from him in
1892. She had given the trunk,
which contained the wedding pres
ents, en to Tiffany’s care, «nd the
husband wrote for the trunk. It
was sent to him.
He testified to-day that his wife
nevechad made appl'catiom to him
for the trunk. Tiffany & ’Co. put
' in evidence to show that the pres
ents were only worth $427. The ju
ry brought in a verdict of $l,lBO,
with Miterest, making in aid $1 ,199,
: 50.
Judge Barrett held that Tiffany
had no right to turn the trunk over
to the husband unless they could
prove that the wife had given au
thority to do so.
TO BRIGHTEN UP THE COLOR.
Now is the time to polish up the
complexion for winter wear with a
diet es sweet, winy fruits, asystem
of oold baths and a programme of
exercise in the open air. A spoon
ful of fruit is neither food or medi
cine- Both are needed. Buy grapes,
peaches and plums by the box, if
means allow, and eat them before
they have time to spoil. When the
crop is gone get sweet oranges and
tart tonicky grape fruit. It is a mis
take to save fruit. It ia too delicate
’ to keep. When a peach has lost its
bloom, or a bunch of grapes has a
brown, dried-up stem, they are not
beautifying or vitalizing food
HIS OPINOIN.
They were standing on a street
corner waiting for a car. She was
American, he was English. Sh
was delighted in proclaiming the
glories of this New World, hut he
only elevatsd hie beastly nose and
answered every remark wit i th v 1
irritalibe phrase,“lu the old coun
try, 1 ’ set.
While they were wei iuga pair
<>f bicyclers, a man and a woman,
wheeled by.
The woman was dressed decided
ly“up to datt.”
“Ahem!” the "'Englishman re
marked. 'Knick'-’ oJ e ! ’
The girl looked up in surprise.
“Do you mean the woman in
bloomers?”
“Yes; but in the old country,
vs know. we call ’em knicker
bockers.”
Miss America hardly knew how
to answer his know-it-all manner.
She felt it would be rude to change
the conversation too abruptly, so
she simply said : “By the way, do
you call ‘a pair of knickerbockers’
singular or p’ural?”
The Englishman glanced after
the retreating bicyclers. “Plural,”
he said, “as applied to men; but
in the case of women—singular”—

Washington C. H., Ohio, N<V
5. —Mrs Charles A. Cave, oftbie
city, relates in incident which
serves to show that even tbs lower
animals have syrupa'hetic hearts.
She bad killed a Dice, fat hen
and after chopping its bead off
threw it upon the ground.
The boss rooster of the barnyard
a bird of the Langshan variety,
did not notice the dying chicken
on the ground until it began to
flap its wings, when he tnrned bis
head around,and a peculiar expies
siou on his face fell over upon his
back.
Here he lay for fully two min
utes, apparently going through
' the agonies es death. Mrs. Cavs
went up to the rooster, supposing
him to be dead, when conscious
ness was reatorsd and the champi
on crowsr of the neighborhood was
■ able to walk around.
Some say that the rooster was ,
“chicken-hearted,” like some peo
ple are, and swooned away at the
sight of blood, while others believe
that he realised, in the fluttering
i hen on the ground with the blood
oozing frem her neck, his favor
t ite female companion, and fainted
j away at the terrible thought of
, losing her.
