‘THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C WEDNES AY, MAY 18, 1885— “3 ‘Ve FIVE TIMES MARRIED. ‘The Remarkable Matrimonial Career of a Kentucky Woman. ‘ All that is mortal of Mrs, Louisa Maxwell, nee Louisa Ludlow, of Ludlow, Ky., was deposited In Spring Grove cemetery Thursday forenoon, the funeral taking place from the deceased woman's late residence, in the pleasant little Village across the river. With her demise an- other representative disappears of a family, earlier members of which figured prominently in the history of the state of Ohio and Northern Kentucky. When Israe! Ludlow appeared here the country was a wilderness. He purchased the land where the town of Ludlow now stands, and his house was about the handsomest in these parts. Of the children, Louisa was the eldest. The good people who knew her from childhood to the grave say that she was a child and a noble, charitably-dis looking woman. altar. Her first husband was William ¢ who in the earlier establishment In Cincinnatl, His wife insti- 1 tuted proceedings for divorce. One day William started for Maysville by bout” and disappeared, being reported drowned. Good Mrs. Ludlow, the mother of Louisa, sald it looked much like one of William's tricks to stave off the divore and so the suit was pressed toa successful issue.

The value of the estate depends largely upon the result of a suit now pending in the court of appeals at Frankfort, K. whieh Louis Maxwell is named as the plaintiff, against Wm. and Albert Ludiow, defendants. ” William is a bachelor, who lives in handsome apartments on west 4th Street, while Albert, the youngest of the family, cbizan. It is known that Israel Ludlow ulmost the entire town which bears this death a division of the es tate was necessitated. Some time was spent in making a plat of the estate. When all was ready the division was made. und people do say that William and Albert tcok those portions that were productive of revenue, and left Louisa the balance, and also that they profited by the division to the amount of about $63,000." The truth of the statement is not vouchsafed for, however, and is only made to show the object of the suit, which has now been pursuing the devious ways of the courts for about four years, and in which the plaintiff prays for a redivision of the original estate as embraced in the will. ‘The matter will be brought to a speedy settle- ment. ee __-___ A Platonic Republic. ‘THE SETTLEMENT OF NIHILISTS IN SOUTH OREGON AND ITS HISTORY. From the San Francisco Chronicle. Among the foothills of the coast range in the southern part of Oregon, ata place called Long- ale station, stands a settlement of Russian refugees. Although ostensibly subject to the laws of Jackson county, yet this community of exiles is in reality an imperium in imperio. It seems to be a sort of Platonic republic, whére property 1s common and where the greatest freedom possible to an organized society is allowed. In 1881 a band of twenty students of the Odessa and Kharkof universities left Russia in separate detachments, with New York as the meeting place. Arriving there they looked about for some place of settlement, and deter- mined on Oregon. Not having money enough, they again separated, and worked in different cities of the east until afund had been raised sufficient to buy the title deeds to several thou- sand acres of land. When the property was uurchased they at once started for Oregon and an the formation of a colony, to which have since been added thirty or forty additional ni- hilists. The Iand was divided into farms, and each colonist allowed a certain amount of money to purchase stock and tools. Soon the settlement thrived until their colony, which fs called “New Odessa,” stood on a sul stantial basis, Then rules and regulations were adopted for the government of the settlers. It was decided that each man should work but six hours a day, the remainder to be devoted to listening to lectures on nihilism and the rights Of man. One large house was selected as the lecture hall, and there the refugees daily listen to the speculations of the students on the right of revolution, which they claim will uprise in Russia as sure as the Volga flows into the sea. ‘The chief staple of cultivation of the colony is grain. There are about twenty women in the settlement, The colony is in the possession of a@large library, open to all, which is com d Mostly of treatises on political subjects in the Russian tongue. The library is gradually in- €reased by additions of books and papers from Geneva and Odessa. Among the settlers is Ivan Urvansky, who was connected with the nihilists in Odessa, and who was arrested in 1878. Atthat tim there was aman in Odessa named Kowalsky, ‘who published the books and pamphlets of the nihilists. One night while he was engaged in this work the house was surrounded by gen- darmes. The nthilists closed the doors und burned all of the papers and books. When the officers of the Czar broke down the doors a fight ensued between the two parties, and six Officers were killed. They found ‘evidence against Kowalsky and his confederates in the portions of set type that the nibilists had for- gotten to “pi.” “Kowalsky was sent toa prison, and on the journey the police sent three empty carriages, with a view of deceiving the peopl as an uprising was feared. Kowalsky was se: tenced to be executed, but Urvansky managed toafterward escape. ’ Another nibilist at the Oregon settlement is Mr. Ramanov Was arrested at the same time as Kowalsky. He was sent to Archangel. While there be played the réle of a natural fool, and was allowed his freedom provided he would report every morning to the authorities. He managed tw escape in the garb ofa peasant. The other prominent nihilists at New Odessa are Krimont, Fireman and Gurvich, all stu- dents, and ail connected with some’ political lot which caused them to leave their country. Whe settlement thus fur has prospered beyond all expectation, and no dissension has occurred to mar the accomplishinent of its purpose. the colony is still engaged in nihilistic projects, and is in constant communication with Russia, One Of the great objects of the colony is to furnish a home by sending money to nihilists who may hereatter escape from Russia. gc dean neta lies’ Co-Operative Schemes. ‘From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE PENALTY FOR NOT WEARING BELIS— HALLOWELL’S ECCENTRIC ANNUAL VISITOR. From the Hallowell (Me.) Register. In the winter of the year 18— the 14th day of February was bright and pleasant in the latl- tude of Maine. Along a wind-swept plain stretching for miles In one general trend be- tween hill ridges—the bottom of an ancient water-course, in fact—runs “the valley road,” so well known throughout the farming country which {t traverses or serves as natural outlet; and over this road, in the afternoon of that February day, drove farmer Edmund Dorr, re- turning from the city at the valley's end, With downeust he rode along behind his jogging horse, heediess of the way or of the beauties of the cheerful winter scene, the influences of which, though lost to him, were such as made bumap- in i feel soclably disposed. Without a word for any one he met upon the way, old friend or new, scarcely deigning a ehirrap even to the patient beast that drew him, the silence of bis long drive was broken only by the sound of snow beneath the gliding runners and the irregular beating of his horse’s feet upon the snowy road. One would have thought that some great calamity had happened to him, or some great wrong had been done him, but truly such was not the fact. No! The wrong was right, the injury was nothing, or next to hothing. Another man would have soon forgotten ft und let his wrath, if he felt any, go down be- fore the sun’s setting. But not so Edmund Orr. Early in the morning of that February day he left his farm and drove into the ¢ r sleigh-bells upon his , he was arrested as a violator t seusible ordinance, n oversight or ence ou his part; that was all, So simple as this would ‘not be worth the telling reit not for the t his arrest produced upon the hard-headed farmer, Hauled before a justice he paid his fine with the worst grace though with reluctance yet with a swagger, and turning ashe went from the ho} id, half choked with rage, “I swear that Iwill remember this day and you, too, shail re- member itas long as I live.” Then he drove homeward ing the city filled with wrath nst it und all that it contained, or more than twelve years that he lived thereafter he kept the promise that he made the day of his arrést. Among the earliest of the writer's recollections is Dorr’s annual ride to town, One of these periodical visitations let me attempt to describe. A jingling and a jang- ling noise, a sound of shouts and inughter heard confusedly inthe distance but gradually be- coming more distinct as the distance lessened; a nearer sound of opening doors and windows, and sight of people looking out to note what such unusual sound migat indicate and what its cause could be. A boiler shop in full opera- or a dozen bl: siniths working at their anvils, could not make louder din, less musical or excite more general notice. As the source from which this confusion sprung drew nearer into view the center of it all disclosed the old man Dorr seated in his rusty cutter driving a ring-boned mareat dog-trotgait. Every move- ment of the limping horse shook peals of horrid discord from the throats of nearly two hundred bells, fastened on to every partof vehicie or har ness that could bear a bell or where a bell could sped Aud such bells, too: big asa man’s fist, and green with the rust of forgotten years. What Junk shop had the old man raided to wrest such oils from Father Time? A string of twenty- ofthem around the horse's neck, another string of three times twenty-five _surcingle- wise around the horse's body; from belly-girt a line of them ran out between the horse's for- ward legs to meet the throat lash where a dang- ling cowbell swayed in beats of independent time and independent discord of its own trom any other element in this old farmer's sym- phon Other bells on every part of vehicle or ha ere it was of the Slizhtest use to put them. In every place where an industrious bell could get a hearing for itself it was afforded op- portunity. “Damn um,” said Dorr, ‘they won't arrest me for not havin’ bellson any more. I guess they'll let the old man alone, next time.” And so he rode. Down one street, up another and through eross streets the ofd man drove his noisy way untilhe had enough of it. Then he turned about, past the court house, where years before, he paid his fine, and through the busy streets again he went with echoing sound; provoking shouts of laughter from the loungers at street corners, and so on and out upon the country road aguin he passed, leaving behind a trail of sound that could be heard long after he had disappeared from view. sabdah = Notes on Boston Girls.

For inatance, I was the assistant at a private seance which the Daven- port brothers gave in London to a number of gentlemen, amonz whom were Dion Boucicault, Charles Reade, Algernon Borthwick, Lord Bur- rey, Capt. Ingleficld and others. The brothers were both tied in their cabinet. Lord Burrey stepped up and leaned over one of them to ex- amine the knot, when the other quickly slapped him on the back. There was a murmur in the room. These great men were struck with awe. Now, let me tell you, this rope trick depends upon mere physical dexterity, and the slap was made like a fash and_pretty ‘hard; but here is the deseription Dion Boucicault wrote of It: 4A small, white, delicate female hand suddenly appeared above one of the doors of the cabinet. It quivered for several seconds and then, slowly descending, tapped Lord Burrey geutly ‘on the shoulder aud thenmelted fn air. “It is just this way that otherwise sensible people allow their senses to be deceived and tbeir ima d upo! “The celebrated theosophist Englington com- pletely dumbfounded me in Caleutta,. Three of us were seated by a plain round table. Two slates were brought in. I took the two an washed and hem clean, He then gave me a little piece of slate pencil, which I put be- tween the two elcan slates. He took hold of one corner with one hand and I took hold with the other. We then clasped our free hands and held the slates under the table. Presently there ‘as a noise as of the pencil writing, and when we opened the slate 1 beheld the following: ‘My name is Gea Don’t you remember me? We used to joke of this matter at the St. George. I know better now “I remarked, ‘I know no one by the name of Geary.’ The siate was put under the table again, and the word ‘Geary, Geary,’ was written sev- ral time: Other slates were put under, too, and one was brought out with this on it, ‘i am i You knew me and St. Leger.’ “Then [remembered having met both inen at Cape Town, in South Africa, four years before, | Geary bad died three years before.

From the New York Times. The selection of the city of Washington as the site of the new Catholic university Is worthy of note as an evidence that the prelates of the Church of Rome in this country recognize the changed and rapidly changing character of the capital city and its promise for the future. Washington ts no longer mere seat of gov- ernment—the home of Congress and the Presi- dent, sustaining ettled population of of fice-holders and offive-seekers. It has already become a center of social gayety, and social ‘ayety pretty certainly and promptly brings in ts train the cultivation of letters and the arts, not only because that sort of thing is looked on with favor by the world of society, but because every soeial circle has a certain proportion of men and women with the taste, the time, the money and the brains to engage in serious men- tal work. The directors und curators of the National’ museum have long foreseen that Washington was to be an Important center of learning, and it has been their ambition to stimulate its development in that direction. ‘The prelates have done a wise thing, no doub in deciding to build the Catholic university a Washingtoi Combustible Gas in a Human Body. Dickens has been inuch criticised for his ap- Parent acceptance of the fact of spontaneous combustion, but Sir W. Gull lately testified to @ surprising case before the committee of the house of lords on intemperance. A large, bioated man, who was suttering from difficulty of breathing'and great distention of the venous system, died at Guy’s hospital. At the post mortem of the following day there was no sign o: decomposition, and the body was believed to be distended with gas. “When punctures were made into the skin,” said Sir William, “and a lighted match applied, the gas which ‘escaped burned with the ordinary flame of carburetted hydrogen. As many ns a dozen of these small flames were burning at the same time.” Enterprising Thieves. From the New York World. The enterprising young man who pulled on his old pants over a pair he was trying on in a clothing store last Saturday, and then walked off, was a genius in his way, although he came togrlef. The tritk was not, however, quite as novel as that of the man who fitted on a pair of new boots at a shoemaker's, and while admir- ing his fect In the ght of the door, before pay- ing, was struck in the face by a person outside. Ot Course, he started after his assailaut, en: couraged int the effort to catch the ruffian by the indignant voice of the shoemaker, who fol- lowed more slowly in the rear, Whether he ‘succeeded is not known, as the shoemaker has never seen the customer, his assailant or the boots since. e0—_—___ Bich Men and Colleges. From the Pennsylvania College Monthly. It may interest some to know what a fewrich men have done for the cause of education. Johns Hopkins gave $3,148,000 to the univer- sity which he founded.

From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. Sam Jones was once conducting a revival in Atlanta, For atull week he addressed himself tote members of the church. At last one of | the stewards suggested that he had better begin | to pitch into the sinners, “No, sir,” said Sam. “I want to get the church good stirred up first. I never kill hogs till I've got my water hot.” What he is saying in Chattanooga, the 7imes thus tells: “The great trouble with preachers in this good. day is that they are so clefant that they always refer to hell as the ‘burnt district.’ This sort of dignity is the starch of a shroud. One preacher id tome once: “Jones, if I preached as plain as you I'd lose my religion.’ Ireplied: ‘If I reached like you I'd lose my congregation.’ here 1s not a man in Chattanooga who doesn’t have family prayers that has got_as much re- ligion as a goat. I don’t want to hear anything from you old humbugs who belong to the church and don’t haye family prayers. Of course you'll go off and say you don’t like some things I've sald, . Some say this book is not the word of God. I've never secn a town yet that didn't have a ‘smiling’ infidel. The Ten Commandments are sufficient. I care not who wrote them, but the man who lives below them ought to be on the chain gang. You who break them are not only on your way to hell, but are outlaws. You say You have doubts, if you quit your meanness Pil be responsible for your doubts. I never saw a man yet who disbelieved in a hell, who, if there is one, is not making a bee line for it.’ A man never had a doubt which, if he pulled it up by the roots, had a seed at ‘the bot ym, and the name of that seed is sin, Your infidelity is as | deep as your meanness and no deeper. “Is there a progressive euebre Christian in town who has fainily prayers?

From the New York Sun. A disposition to delay marriage or to keep out of it altogether is strikingly displayed in New York, where the number of clubs and club members has greatly increased of late years because of it. These young men are able to get luxuries and elegances at their clubs which they could not expect to provide at their own | homes if they were married, and they would rather forego marriage than give them up. It_would be very well if they could get wives with portions which permitted the continuance of self-indulgence, but few of them are able to t. As bachelors they can live off the fat land, dress with clegance, and en social _gayeties, to which they know that the are welecmed with the more eagerness because they are single.
