6 STRANGE COINCIDENCES. Stories of Losings and Findings in Every-day Life. e “Talking about coincidences,” said a young man to a group in a hotel lobby the other even- ing, “reminds me of something rather remark- able in that line which happened to me the ether day. You have noticed, perhaps,” he continued, “that several Washington young men wear Egyptian scarabs as watch charms, similar to this one on my chain. Well, I met one of these young men the other day on the svenue, and in course of conversation, noticing this little antique, he said: ‘Do you knowI have lost my scarab, and I am mighty sorry for it, too, It was a genuine antique, and I can't replace it, I thought at first that I would re- cover it, as I lost it in _a sleepi from New York to Washin l efforts were fruitless, and sol have givenitup.’ Now here comes the strange part of it,” con- ee “The very next day I on the avenue to have amoment’schat ‘@ mutual friend, a well-known official at , but all my the capitol.

He had hunted in the gutter a dozen times or more in vain, when about three years after the incident, in the very same spot, he found— what do you think?—twelve pennies wrapped up in a piece of brown ir.

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY BEFORE THE PARNELL COMMISSION IN LONDON YESTERDAY. ‘There was some sensational testimony given before the Parnell commission in London yes- terday. James Mannion, one of the witnesses called, declared himself both a Fenian and a member of the national league. He said he had taken part in several outrages, and had gone on moonlight expeditions. He knew no moonlighter who was not also a member of the league. Peter Flaherty, a farmer, of Galway, testified that he was a’ moonlighter, and was not ashamed to acknowledge it. He was perfectly ready to act with the moonlighters again. ward Flannigan said that he had been in America since 1879, He had been present at nnmerous league meetings at Pittsburg and New York, at which Stephen J. Meany had esided. He said that ny had collected junds for fhe purpose of buying firearms for use in Ireland. Presiding Justice Hannan intimated that the court’s decision in the matter of the disclosure of documents was thatall the documents which the Times’ solicitor thought spurious should be disclosed, in order to assist in the search for the truth. Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the Parnellites, stated that he had received several threaten- ing letters. Justice Hannan remarked that he also, and probably others Geet in the case, had received similar letters. e intimidation of witnesses, he said, was so certain that pre- cautions must be taken not to allow the pre- mature disclosure of their names. ——see. A Fatherly Bear. ‘From the Kingston Freeman. Wm. Van Bramer, of Rondout, related the following rather risky experience of himself and J. Sapp in the wilds of Denning one day last week: “We were riding along through the most lonesome and sparsely-settled portion of Ulster county, and just onthe border of Sullivan county with a load of chestnuts and other coun- try produce. All of a sudden I heard a crack- ling sound in a large chestnut tree, and I says to i ‘Joe,” says I, ‘look at that big darky over there knocking down chestnuts.’ “Joe looked, and as he did so his hat fell off, and I declare if his hair wasn't standing straight on end and he was white as a sheet. “What the deuce is the matter with you, Joe?’ says I; ‘are you sick?

The event was the arrival in this country last fall of Kilrain, the pugilist. The situation was that the big Cu- uarder Etruria, with the pugilist aboard, lay in the darkness off quarantine, waiting for morn- ing, anda Kilrain’s friends aboard was come anywhere near his vessel.

At the inquest on the last victim of the murderer yesterday George Hutchinson, a groom, who had known the victim for some years and saw her with a male companion shortly beforo 2 o'clock on the morning of the murder, testified that he saw a well-dressed man, with a Semitic cast of countenance, accost the woman on the street at the hour mentioned on Friday morn- ing, and the circumstance of his acqyaintance with her induced him to follow the they walked together. He looked straight into the man’s face as he turned to accompany woman and followed them to Miller Court out of mere curiosity. Hutchinson had no thought of the previous murders and certainly no suspicion that the man contemplated violence, since his conspicu- ous manifestations of affection for his com) ion as they walked slong formed a of the incentive to them in sight. the couple pons house Hutchinson heard sounds of mer nt in the girl’s room and re- mained at the entrance to the court for fully three-quarters of an hour. About $ o'clock the sounds ceased and he walked into the court, but finding that the light in the room had been ext he went home. During the hour occupied in standing at the entrance to or prome: the court he did not see a police- man. There is every reason to believe Hutchinson's statement, and the police place reliance upon his description of the man, it will enable them to runhim down. The wit- ness who testified y to having seen the woman enter the house with a man with a blotched face was evidently mistaken as to the night, as his description of her companion is totally unlike that of Hutchinson’s inevery par- ticular. The bulk of the evidence taken dies the time of the murder at between 3:30 and 4 o'clock. Another witness at the inquest gave an almost identical description of the man, al- though Hutchinson and he had no communica- | be tion with each other. ———-e+_____ Native Asters as Garden Plants. It is only within the last few years that our native asters have been considered fit subjects for the herbaceous garden, although in Eng- land they have been long appreciated, and Michaelmas daisies, as they are commonly called, form a partof the stock of the best nurseries. Flowering as they do, very late in the season, it cannot be denied that their deco- rative value is of the highest order, for they defy cold weather and are but little injured by the fall rains. Lon after their more tender rivals have succum| to the severe frosts these asters bloom away as though they rejoiced in the chilly weather and seem many times more beautiful from the con- trast with their brown and frost-bitten neigh- bors. If we have made a judicious selection of species and varieties, and exercised proper judgment in planting them, the mn will be source of pleasure for a ae after the more costly, and often less beautiful, exotic summer. plants have been cut away. But the value of these plants does not lie en- tirely in their sturdiness and their ability to prolong the season of flowers, for they have an intrinsic beauty that compels our attention. Few ape question the beauties of the a enni P loxes as they ate now grown, but we have to look back but a few years to find these much-admired plants represented by a few Lr eae! lish-pink and white varieties, with smal flowers and narrow petals. In their wild state the flowers of ic and P, maculata (the parents of our garden va- Tieties) are quite inferior to many of the wild asters, which undoubtedly are fully as capable of improvements, for, naturally, most of the asters vary to @ surprising degree, and, by careful searching, one may find varieties far rior to the t and these should be care- lly transplanted to the garden. It is best to collect them while in flower, for the best vari- eties may then be selected, and by transferring them to nursery rows they can be tested before placing them in a permanent position, Out of the (pomp number of species native to the United States the following are among the most useful: Aster Nove Anglie, with large, deep blue-purple flowers, when given good cul- tivation, is a grand plant, growing to the height of six or seven feet, and literally smothered with it showy blossoms. Its variety, us, is identical in every way except color, whichis a brightrosy pink, “A. lavis has dee} violet flowers, like small Cinerarias, and wi grow to the height of five feet. A, Novi- i 3s very variable, both in habit and flowers, the best varieties being very handsome and useful, In color the flowers vary from pure white to deep purple. A. turbinellus is very habit, with slender, much-branched stems, the large’ lilac-colored’ flowers appearing late in the season. g They need about the same treatment as would be given to the perennial Phlox, many of them doing much better when thinned out annually, as they are subject to mildew if grown too thickly, especially if they are somewhat shaded! —————o-—____ One, and He Got It. THE ONLY RED EAR OUT OF SEVENTY-FIVE ‘THOUSAND. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I tried to read, but I lost all interest in read- ing and drew my chair close to the table to watch the game. I looked on for a while, and became perfectly disgusted with the players, to think what chumps they were. I watched their game so long that I thought I would risk $50, and if I lost that I would quit. So I went to the captain and boughi $50 worth of “corn.” They used corn in those days, having no chips as we do now. I started in to play, and after a while lost all the corn all I had. It was not my bad playing, but simply bad luck. I invested $100 more in corn, and, to make a long story short, I lost that. I invested the balance of my money in corn and lost all but five or ten gruins, when the boat whistled for a landing. The first mate arose and said; * “Gentlemen: I am very sorry, but we have to take on some wood at this station and my services are needed. You gentlemen can con- tinue the game or wait and I will join you.” We agreed to wait. 1 thought I would take a stroll on deck to get some fresh air. I walked down the gang-plank, and where the boat had landed there was a great, large house. I walked Up, to it and felt that there were holes in the side. I ran my fingers through the holes, and imagine my surprise when I found it contained corn. I had accidentally run across acorn-crib. I was not of athievish dis- position, but I thought if I took an ear of corn and I won, why I would place in my pocket whatI had taken and only cash what I had really won; but, on the other, if I lost—well, it was like a drowning man catching at a straw. So I took an ear of corn and placed it in my pocket and commenced shelling it. In the course of half an hour we resumed the game. From the start I commenced winning. werything I drew to I got. About 3-a. m. some one proposed that we have a jackpot and quit for the night. NARS ee Be “avo There was something like $5,000 in the pot and I won it.

Some of the men wanted to shoot me, others wanted to lynch me, but the cay said no; he would not cash my corn and would put me off the boat. Immediately he stopped the‘ boat and sent me ashore without a nickel.

New York, The four great markets for wives in New York, writes s correspondent, are the Sunday school, the big stores and factories, the street. and the boarding houses. I have purposely arranged them in the order above because the Greatest matrimonial markets are the Sunday schools and the least are the boarding houses. Marriages are made in boarding houses, but the averag® boarding-house keeper's daughter is more apt to end an old maid than a wife. The reason is that it seems not to be good for the girls for men to see them too much varied a range of employment.

Such do happen, I suppose, but not frequently enough for con- sideration, the fact being that nothing could worse for a counter girl in a big New York store than for her to be courted while on duty. Ifher employers did not discharge her the other girls would torment her beyond endur- ance. Meetings between the girls and thdir beaux on the way home from work are not to be taken into consideration, for the lasses go home in troops, and are mer- ciless teasers, so that is also a rare oc- currence. One of the big shopping stores, by the way, employs detectives to see that no you fellows hang about the store at closing time to megt the counter girls. But there isa field for matrimony that is directly in the stores. and is exceedingly fruitful. The male employes, buyers, heads of departments, men clerks, cashiers, and even the members of the firms get very many wives among the girls whom they meet every day and grow toadmire, if their qualities are such as to recommend them.

Patrick Bowes-Lyon, the Scottish Jawn tennis champion, is the fifth son of the present Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, a representative peer of Scotland. He(the Hon. Patrick) was born in 1863, and from 1877 to 1880 served in the royal navy, He first won the championship in 1885, and ‘in in 1886, but in 1887 he wes narrowly beaten, by Mr. H. Grove. This year Mr. had to retire in the middle of the match beens terre pic after effects of an acciden' Cheltenham a fortnight before, and Mr. Bowes-Lyon re- covered his position. It should be ad that e very generously suggested a postponement of the eae matches, but with equal magnanimit Grove declined the offer. Mr. Bowes-Lyon comes of a t- loving family. His elder. brother, Herl and his sister, Constance, are both tennis-players, while nine of the family took a in acricket match between ladies and gen- lemen at Glamis Castle, the earl of Strath- more’s seat in Forfarshire, last week. As usual in such matches, the gentlemen had to bat with broomsticks, and to bowl and field with the left hand only. The ladies made 44 in the first innings, of which 20 were “extras,” and 14 were off the bat of Lady Mildred Bowes- Lyon, while her sister, Lady Constance, not only made 18 of 45 scored in second i 4 but also obtained six wickets for 18 runs. e —— however, won, thanks mainly to .

It is worth going a mile to see asheep man after dogs have been in his flock. He is real mad once in his life. He looks mad; he acts mad; and sometimes he has been known to talk mad—fully justified in being so under the re ———< cir- ri cumstances. A man feels ly aggressive under the sense of wrong against which he is unarmed and powerless. How a man will wish there were mad dogs around that neigh- borh: He wants to see something that is "5 mad enough to ne yi a who gets up some morning to find his 6! scat- fixed, torn, chased, killed, becomes ‘emonal- ized quick as lightning. He may have led a most moral, even exemplary life, full of char- ity and good works and words for all, but jost as sure assome worthless neighbor's worth- less cur, and that is the way he would talk of the best neighbor he had in the world, na mat- ter if that same neighbor was a preacher and his dog was esteemed to be “worth the best cow on the place,” but if he saw that dog sneaking home after a sae of his lambs he would swear down in great big mad heart. If he ain’t a Methodist and believes in repentance, let me suggest he will not be a safe man to meet, save on the most friendly terms, for month.

There is no “buck ager” in him then. He is willing to take big chances on anything. He never was so mad in all his life, never, never. When a sheep man has sheep killed the very best thing is to turn him loose with a double- barreled shot loaded as full of buckshot as the man is with righteous anger. He knows whose dog to kill every time, He knows more 7 imagine he does. Just let him alone and don’t mind him. He can take care of him- self. He was not bitten by a mad dog. He is mad though! The Sewing Circles of Boston.

Be that as it may, the sewing circle has come to be the great 2c register among us, by means of which a wothan's position may be accurately defined. One may easily make mistakes by inferences drawn from the houses to which people are invited for ‘at homes” or afternoon teas; it is even unsafe to place too much confidence in the deductions Te from the cir- cumstances that a lady dined at unexcep- tionable houses; but the sewing circle, so far as is possible in a democratic country, places its members accurately and finally, 'o know to what sewing circle a lady pelongs is, with the experts, conclusive and unimpeachable evidence of her social status.

In presenting THE EVENING STAR in its new ‘Arges and improved form, attention is called to its Peculiar merits as a news and family paper, as well as to the extraordinary advantages it affords w advertisers, Aligh professional authority—which in this tm stance only expresses public sentiment—has de clared that “THERE IS NO BETTER EVENING NEWSPAPER IN THE UNITED STATES” than Tur Stan But even more than this may be justly claimed for it, In all that relates to the composh on of @ fret-class journal, devoted to news, busi ness, family and local affairs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special qual- ities mamed it is not surpassed by any. With alert, intelligent and impartial special correspond- ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole field of news, and is able to presents Feflex of the entire civilized world each day up to the very moment of going to press. In those re Spects THE Sak is absolutely without « rival, and fearlesaly challenges comparison, within range of ™ the territory it occupies. In it treatment of public affairs it is impartial, ‘and aims to be fair and just to all taiths and inter. ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the high- ‘est and broadest sense of the term. In the publi: | cation of news it records facts without bins or | color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting | Only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be ‘Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeied by any other interest or consideration than that of serving | the public, and securing as far as possible the wel- | fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, | With these general objects in view, what Tus Stak specially concerns itself with, and that to Which it gives its best efigris, may be briefty de- scribed ag, THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON | AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since | 1% present management assumed its direction, and this policy will characterize the future career of the paper as prominently as it has marked itp past history. 48 AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. ‘The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com clusively establish that it In, the best local advertis- ing medium in the world!

For example, during the frst nine months of the present year the average daily circulation of the paper has been 26,681 copies, and the whole number of new advertisoments printed 30,683, against an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 38,504 new advertisements dur- ing the corresponding period in 1887.
