Here, in full sight of all the specta- tors on shore andall her companions, she lifted hep short skirts a trifle and adjusted the elastic of her long stocking, which had become lossen- ed with the effort of swimming. She did this with the utmost nonchalance; yet just imagine the sensation it would cause if she would perform this same harmless little toilet act on the veranda in the presence of the same audience. She would be cut dead by every woman, and quite likely requested to leave the hotel. Yet I doubt if anyone beside myself noticed or commented on the little performance—it is such an every day occurrence. Perhaps it was the eminent respectability of the young lady, who is the daughter of one of Philadelphia's most reputable busi- ness men, that attracted my attention to her very shapely stockings.—At- lanta City Cor. Philadelphia Times. Terrible Encounter Between Officers and Outlaws. Muskogee, I. T., July 1.—Sixteen miles northwest of Eufalla, in the Creek nation, last night, a corn dance was held. United States Marshal John Phillips and one depu- ty named John McGlaughlin attend- ed with the expectation of re-arrest- ing some prisoners who had escaped from them a few days previous. Ar- riving near the grounds where the dance was taking place, they secreted themselves near a spring, expecting that the parties they wereafter would go to that place for water. About 12 o'clock Wesley Barnett worst desperadoes in the Indian territory, and who were wanted on some half dozen charges, went to the spring. As soon as they arrived near enough, Marshal Phillips de- manded that they should halt and give their names. The brothers immediately drew their pistols and commenced firing. The first shot struck Phillips in the head, killing him instantly. Deputy Marshal McGlaughlin was also killed, but not until he had fatally wounded Watie Barnett, who died within an hour after the fight was over. Wesley Barnett went to where the people were dancing, accused Bennie McIntosh of putting the officers on their track and immediately drew his revolver and shot McIntosh through the arm and doubtless would have killed him had not McIntosh succeeded in wresting from him his revolver.

In a public speech on the 14th of January, 1880, General Garfield ac- knowledged his election as United States senator, in which he made the following glowing tribute to his predecessor, Allen G. Thurman: “I recognize the importance of the posi- tion to which you have elected me, and I should be base if I did not re- cognize the great man whom you have elected me to succeed. I say for him, Ohio has few lareer minded broader minded men in the record of her history than that of Allen G. Thurman. Differing widely from him as I have done in politics and do, I recognize him as a man high in character and great in intellect; and I take this occasion to refer to what Ihave never referred to in public—that many years ago, in the storm of party fighting, when the air was filled with missiles aimed at the character and reputation of pub- lic men, when it was even for his party interest to join in the general Wesley then went toa neighboring house, and securing a Winchester, went back and swore he would kill the entire company if they did not remove his brother's body to aneigh- boring house.’ The terrified crowd secured a wagon and did as the des- perado commanded them. The bodies of the two officers had not been removed from the place where they were killed up to a late hour this evening. It is a somewhat singular fact that about a year ago, near the same spot, Phillips’ possee, composed of three men, were murdered while asleep by desperadoes belonging to the same gang, for which Seaborn was hanged at Fort Smith a few weeks ago. clamor against me and my associates Senator Thurman said in public, in the campaign, on the stump—where men are as likely to say unkind things as at any place inthe world-- a most generous word of defense and kindness for me, which I shall never forget. Isay moreover, that the flowers that bloom over the gar- den walls of party politics are the sweetest and most fragrant that bloom in the garden of the world, and where we can fairly pluck them and enjoy their fragrance it is manly and delightful to do so.” William’s Australian Herb Pills.

Washington, June 29.—The dem- ocrats of the ways and means com- mitte have come to the conclusion that to allow the tariff debate to run on as at present means that they will stay here until next winter. They had an informal talk on this matter to-day and decided to take action within a week. They will wait until McKinley and the other leaders who attended the Chicago convention have had a chance to rest and will then meet them with a pro- position to limit the debate. In case of a refusal, and that is simply probable, they will immedi- ately amend the rules so as to pre- vent any fillbustering on the part of republicans. This hercic treatment may call forth howls from the minor- ity, who will claim that the course is unprecedented, but it will be done. The tariff bill, the democrats Say, is going to be passed this ses- sion, and the friends of it are tired of all the buncumb and nonsense.

Ti-6m No Takers on Odds on Cleveland. New York, July 4.—The Harrison men on the down-town exchanges yesterday continued to refuse the odds of $100 to $60 on Cieveland. This was particularly so on the pro- duce excange, where a plump offer on that basis by a Cleveland man was as plumply refused. The declina- tion was on the ground that two to one on Cleveland and Thurman were current elsewhere. That was trueto a limited extent on the stock ex- change, but only small amounts of money were offered. The Harrison men say they will take big money at these odds, but sneer at anything less than $100 bets. “When I was leaving for Europe a few years ago with my wife,” said William G.

Methodist nuns are tobe a novelty in feminine experience. They were created by the Methodist general conference, after a careful consider- ation of the subject by the committee on missions. The committee report- ed favorably, and the conference in- serted in the discipline of the church a section regulating them. They are to be called deaconesses, and they will be very similar to the nuns of the Roman Catholic church, ex- cept that they are not to take vows of lil service or of celibacy. Every annual conference in which these deaconesses are established will have a bow 1} of nine members to control this { of work. Nothing more detinite than that was done by the conference, but the impression is that the Methodist nuns will wear distinctive costumes. and live in houses by themselves. They will minister to the poor and sick, care for crphans, and do other work of They will be required to a probation of continual serv- ice of two years before being made deaconesses, and they will have to be at least 25 years of age. It has long been a desire of Rev. Dr. Dix, of Trinity, to have such duties per- formed by regular orders of women, and he succeeded several years ago in forming an organization of Epis- copalian nuns, but they have not been formally indorsed by the denomina- tion, and so the Methodists are the first Protestant church in America to attempt the recruiting and uni- forming of religious sisters. The first of these deaconesses will be very likely to be seen in Chicago. “And what costumes will the deaconesses wear?” was asked of nearly every member of the com- mittee responsible for their creation. No definite auswer could be ob- tained. Naturally a very sober garb will be chosen.—New York Sun. $25.00 Reward.

Lost her Charming Shoulders. A beautiful lady in Paris. belong- ing to the diplomatic circle, lately met with a must peculiar accident at a ball, to the immense delight of her “bosom friends” of the fair sex. The lady in question wore a low-bodiced dress of an artistie design, which at- tracted general admiration, but what most riveted the attention of the ball guests were her shoulders of dazzling white. Suddenly her brooch, a splendid cameo, became unfastened, dropped to the floor and broke to pieces. In her alarm the fair owner stooped to pick up the fragments. But this rapid move- ment caused something more valua- ble to fall to the ground. viz., a por- | tion of the charming white shoulders | | of the lad a piece of a mass of por- ely touched up in blue celain. del d pink.

Because they are not believed to be the protection that it was once thought they were.” This was what an electrician told a re- porter. Fifteen years ago the light- ning rod agent was everywhere in the land, and more especially at every farmer's door. To-day, it is claimed, their number has materially decreased and farmers are discontin- uing the use of the rods. “What is your opinion upon the subject of lightning rods?” was asked of Chief Walker, of the city electrical department. “Candidly, in nine cases out of ten.” he replied, “I think they are humbugs. I belieye it is a fact that more barns are struck and burned that have lightning rods on than with them off. In the first place, it is best to keep electricity as far away from a building as possible. The object of the lightning rod is to at- tract it. The rod is supposed to act as a conductor of the electrical cur- rent to the earth, but instead of being carried off, the current, in consequence of faulty construction of the rod or attachments, is fre- quently switched into the building. The end of the wire is supposed to be buried in moist earth, the moisture acting asa good conductor. With- out strict attention the iron becomes oxidized and rusts off, and then the rod is worse than nothing. runder such circumstances, attracting the elec- tricity of the atmosphere and having no adequate outlet for it. Then, “It is a positive dai again, the same danger arises when the insulators upon the sides of the building become defective. The lightning is attracted from the at- mosphere, where it might have re mained but for the rod, and it is turned loose against the building on its way to the earth. If, for instance, the attachments on a barn are poor or worn out the current may be de- flected and set fire to the building. This is no uncommon occurrence. In this city some years ago the rod on the Belmont water works was struck and it fused. The current flowed on down and played about the machine- ry in the liveliest kind of a way. A big stone was knocked off the Wash- ington monument by lightning. When the ground contact is good and the lightning is about to strike a building a rod may be of use, but I think the rods do more harm than good. There was a time when farmers were scared into rodding their barns and houses, but I think they are getting over that.”—Phila- delphia Record.

London, July 5.—The Standard’s correspondence at St. Petersburg says: It is reported that a marnage is being arranged between the czare- vitch and one of Emperor William's sisters. General Von Pape, during his mission here, broached the sub- ject to the czar, who gave his entire approval.
