BROWN THE DEFAULTER. His Wife and Relatives Say He is Inno- tent, but He is in Canada. A Providence, R. L, special to the Bos- ton Heraid says: Treasurer Brown's family were seen in Westerly yesterday by a Herald correspondent, and the wife and three daugh- ters, who have been at Noyes Beach, left for their home at Allston, Mass., on « laté train, ‘They received a telegram from Brown from Toronto on Saturday and more news from Mon- trealon Monday. The latter information was to the effect that they had better leave their summer resort and go at ouce to their former in secure as much of his property, as they can.and at the ment time their own personal property, and see ttis PY property, BEYOND THE REACH OF THE SHERIFF. After receiving the news and as soon as they could clear up their affairs where they were stopping they left for Aliston. After Mra. Brown has settled up her affairs she will prob- ably join her husband in France if he decides to go there. In his letter Brown said a about the amount he had taken or how muc! he had with him. His family and ali the rela- tives are as happy as the proverbial Rhode Island clam and seem to think that the whole thing will come out right. Mrs. Brown says that her husband never could have done any- ‘thing wrong, and that he will make a satisfac- tory explanation of this whole business as soon as he can 6 Bett down. Mr. John B. Brown, brother of the missing treasurer, says that Brown is innocent of m4 crime, and simply went to Canada because he has a num- ber of relatives there who are wealthy and will eid bim in any case where money is needed. His brother says that from information he has Brown will come into New England again. ENGLAND’S FRIENDSHIP. Significant Utterances of Prince Bis- * marck’s Organ. The Norti German Gazette, °(Prince Bis- marck’s organ), referring to the impend- ing meeting of the German colonial com- pany, says that angry protests against the action of British officials is politically undesira- ble. England, the Gazette says, will eventually set mattersright. If Germany had been con- sulted she might have pointed out weighty Objections against the German Emin relief expedition. Germany would regret the expe- dition adopting political aims or encroaching on British anes or mterests. England's friendship is of more value to Germany than all the expedition could obtain on the upper Nile. If Peters intends forcibly, or jointly with Emin Pasha, to seize a province secured to Turkey aud Egypt by treaties the ra will fall under the operation of the laws of the counties whose interests are prejudiced. CHANGES IN KILAUEA. The Appearance of the Volcano After Some Recent Disturbances. ‘From the Hawatian Gazette. The status of the voicano Kilauea is differ- ent now from what it was two or three montis ago, the change being to the effect that the general Halemanmau area has dropped down sbout 80 feet. A flow broke out on the floor of the Kilauea about the middie of May last, and the result was the sinking down of the Halemaumau area in consequence of the partial drainage off of the subterranean reservoir underlying the erater; so that the Halemauman area (an up- right cone with a space about it, on and in the floor of Kilauea, as it appeared two or three months ago) appears now as a smaller crater within the larger Kilauea crater. This smailer crater is eighty feet deep and a mile in diame- ter. The old cone, which months ago rose from the floor of Kilauea, is now ascending from the middle of the floor of the smaller crater. The cone and a circular-shaped por- tion (one mile in diameter) of the floor on which it stood dropped down when the subsid- ence occurred. In consequence of having a cone in the cen- ter of it, the smaller crater is nowaring-shaped depression in the floor of Kilauea surrounding small smoking mountain. The visitor now goes down into the smaller crater, proceeds along the ring-shaped depression, and partially ‘round the cone. and finds the Dana lake (the only one now in action), as it were wedged in between the central cone and basaltic wall sur- founding the ring-shaped depression. The whole appearance, the cone, a mile in diameter of the floor, and all, were evidently floating on a molten lava reservoir below and sank when the surface of that reservoir was lowered. The ring-shape depression will prob- ably fill up and a series of flows may occur on the floor of Kilauea. So immensely thickened up, by reason of repeated flows on it. has this even now become that the southeastern part of itis well up toward the level of the Sdjoining country. A Drop of Dew. From the Contemporary Review. No man ever yet denied that beauty “in silk attire” goes more beautifully, and no man who makes that admission will deny that the jewel trembling on cheek or hand adds precisely the charm that the dewdrop lends to the flower. The dewdrop, yes! if women could stop at the dewdrop. they never do know where to stop. Just as women are almost always over- dressed or underdressed, so it is with their “jewels,” as they call them, meaning gauds, trinkets, snd shining gewgaws generally. Seeing that the dewdrop makes the rose pinker where it lies, the lily whiter.and that the sparkle first attracts the eye and then contributes force to the tint already there, they must needs multiply dewdrops tili—the objects de- feats itself, A rose that gains much by the dewdrops gains nothing by being swamped at the bottom of a pail of water. And beaut: smothered by her jewels is just—smothere: even though the jewels be of the very finest uality. How seldom one sees a woman use wels [pene She either oblitera’ her ‘eyes and complexion by too much dazzle, wear- ing brilliants as big as pigeons’ eggs—in fact, @rowns the rose in the pail. or she goes to the other extreme and wears none, looking as if she had beén disturbed at her toilet by bur- glars or rifled by her creditors just before din- per. And I mast say this “moulting” is a dangerous experiment. It is too often the moss rose shorn of its moss! — to Leprosy in Canada. ‘From the Philadelphia Record. There are, according to the Toronto Mail, twenty-two cases of leprosy under treatment at the Lazaretto Tra- badia, Goucester county, New Bruns- wick. The Mail gives a remarkable story, epparently authentic, in regard to the origin of the disease. It say The first victim was the wife of a farmer, living in the neigh- borhood of Lake O'Law, Victoria county, Cape Breton, « romantic spot surrounded by lofty hills and occupied by a vigorous farming population. Her d hes betraye: no symptoms of the disease, nor bad any one up to that time in the vicinity. Yet the woman was dis- tinctly a leper. She died after an illness of twelve years.

Four others disease, while the remaining three, with their children, are to all appearances completely exempt from it. A man who at- one of the lepers in his illness took the disease, and the husband of « daughter d took it.

A Young Lady Beats Off a Negro Brute— His Arrest. A Centreville special to the Baltimore Amer- joan says: An attempt at outrage was made upon Miss Ida Booker, a young lady residing with Mr. Charles A. Bradley on the Thurpin farm near @entreville last Sunday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock by Edw. Downes, a burly colored boy who had been employed by Mr. Bradley to assist in threshing wheat. The young lady was left at the house alone, Mr. Bradley being in the peach orchard and Mrs. Bradley visiting some friends, The negro came through the orchard about 4 o'clock, and Mr. Bradley seeing him offered him 25 cents to assist in picking fruit, which he said he would do as soon as he carried s bundle of clothing which he had under his arm to the house. Downes then went on to the house, and seeing that Miss Booker was in the upper portion of the dwelling alone started up the front stairway. Miss Booker became alarmed and ran down the back stairway and across the yard to an out- building, the door of which she endeavored to secure. The negro followed, and going to the outbuilding where Miss Booker was hiding, succeeded after some effort in forcing the door epen. Assoon as the door was opened Miss Booker started to run, but the negro seized her, and then a terrible struggle ensued, the young lady screaming all the time and resisting the attempts of the black brute. The negro becoming alarmed at her screams, fearing that they would attract attention, and not being able to overcome the resistance offered, de- ited and started for the woods, saying as he tof Sst egey 3 shall catch me, as I will the train in the morning.” That the lady made a desperate struggle is evidenced by the condition of the ground where the attempted assault was made, her torn clothing and bruised person. Her dress, body and underclothing were torn into small pieces and her arms badly bruised, showing plainly the marks of the fingers of the negro. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Downes. He is about five and one- half feet in height, stout, very black, and about nineteen years of age. Miss Booker is a mod- est young lady of pleasing appearance, about sixteen years of age, and weighs about 195 pounds. She has lived with Mr. Bradley for the past five years, her father being dead and her mother living with the family of Levi Clough, esq., uear Church Hill. Downes was arrested Tuesday night at Town- send, Del., brought to Centreville and lodged in jail. --se0—-—__ Flood in Pennsylvania. A rain storm at Easton, Pa,, last night was the most violent ever seen in that section. Within two hours the water in the Lehigh river rose eight feet. Two bridges and a dam on the Clinton branch of the Lehigh Valley raiiroad and all Warren county bridges between Phil- lipsburg and Stewartsville have been swept away. The banks of the Morris canal have deen broken in two places. The damage to the og in this place will amount to about A Chief of Police Shot. About 1 o'clock yesterday morning. as Chief of Police Gaston was walking around the jail at Jackson, Tenn., he was fired upon by col- ored men, receiving ten buckshot in his face and neck. He willdie. Several colored men were lying around the jail in the weeds and grass, supposing that the colored porter of the Arlington hotel, who is in jail for assisting a Young white girl to elope, was to be lynched during the night. When discovered by Gaston they started to run, and bemg fired upon re- turned the fire, with the above result. No ar- rests have been madi ‘coo —____ The Republican Clubs. The last official session of the executive com- mittee of the National league of republican clubs was held at Saratoga, N. Y., yesterday. The work was mainly of an executive character. The principal topic of discussion was the plan of holding the next convention. It was pro- posed to get up excursions for the delegates and make a tour of the south, stopping at towns along the route, and have prominent repub! can speakers address the people. Gov, For- aker and Major McKinley, Gen. Woodford and others have already consented to speak should this plan be carried out. The object would be to encourage southern republicans. The New York Tribune was made the official organ of the national league. Messrs. Huston of Indiana, Byrnes of Minne- sota, and Humphrey of New York were ap- pointed a special committee with power to con- fer with a subcommittee of the republican na- tional committee in mapping out general polit- ical work and conferring together for the good of the party. The idea is to work in perfect harmony. ‘The rest of the work of the commit- tee was detailed to ious committees. +oo——___ Crooked Pittsburg Aldermen. Daniel R. Callen, alderman of the fifth ward of Allegheny, Pa., was yesterday arrested ona charge of conspiracy with Detective John D. Bauder and others to extort money from the keepers of unlicensed saloons, He entered bail in $1,500 for a hearing. Inspector Whitehouse, who made the arrest, has a warrant for another alderman in connection with the same cases, but the accused has left the city. It is probable that information will be made against two more aldermen on similar charges, Bauder and five of his distants are now under 6,000 bail to answer for blackmailing a num- ber of saloon keepers. It was their practice to bring prosecution for selling without license and then settle the case for a money considera- tion, varying from $100 down. we. The Cambridge Den of Infamy. The latest development in the Cambridge, Mass., malpractice case is the arrest of the nurse employed at Dr. Harper's, who is con- sidered an important witness.

MARY ANDERSON, Something About Her Health and Habits Not Generally Known. From the Brook; There is much ference of opinion in pri- vate circles over the reports of Mary Anderson's insanity.

Aman who saw her just before she left for England, and rept Bate! did see her then, tells me that at that ¢ her mind seemed to be clear enough, but that she was entirely unable to hold anything in her hands, The brain had lost control over the muscles, and she did not take hold of anything breakable because, no matter how hard she t will to carry a glass to her lips, she could not be sure that her fingers would not become suddenly nerveless and the crystal fall from them with a crash, The phy- —— look upon this as an almost unfailing ay APPROACHI¥G PARESIS; that is, if it does not follow after long and se- vere illness, when it is quite possible to be mere feebleness and long disuse of certain muscles, Some publications have been base enough to hint at disgraceful causes for poor Miss Ander- son’s affliction, but no one who knows her will credit such a c' e for an instant. Indeed, the main cause of her trouble was an excess of religious feeling. She is a devout Catholic and her illness made itself apparent just toward the close of Lent, when she had been fasting and raying with undue rigor. According to the abit of devout Catholic women she rose every morning at 6 o’clock during the sackcloth sea- son and went to the early mass without break- ing her fast by even as much as a cup of coffee. She was on her knees for an hour or more and always came home terribly fatigued. This would have been bad enough for any woman, but for one with a delicate physique and nerv- ous temperament, who acted every night and never got to bed before 1 o'clock, such be- havior was simply suicidal, Her friends and manager remonstrated with all their might, but quite unavailingly. When a woman is the subject of an emotional fervor reason has no influence upon her; it only confirms her in her unreason. It was plain enough to any- one ina perfectly sane condition that it was fairly criminal to refuse an overworked system it’ legitimate rest and nourishment, but it was not the first time, it will not be the last, that good women have committed crimes ainst themselves and others in the name of religion.

With a Hindu you can do none of these things. It is often better not even to refer to them. A Mohammedan will dine with you, but his ladies, with few exceptions, are even more {eslonsly secluded than those of the Hindu. Nor do the women for the most part seem to desire more liberty. Many of them know very well how to man- age their husbands, and if they want to go anywhere or to see anything the men have to find some means of gratifying them. Tne reverence paid to mothers is extreme, I kuow a man in high position and of mid- le age who is obliged to worship gods in whom he does not believe for fear of displeas- ing his mother, and another who cannot make the pilgrimage which he desires to Benares be- cause custom would oblige him to take his mother on his first visit to the holy city, and she is unfit to travel. But most Indian women are too uneducated to take pleasure in mixing in a society whose ways and thoughts are totally different from their own, Efforts are being made to teach them, and there is little doubt that when they know a good deal about the world they will wish to see it, and that when this becomes their object they will speedily at- tain it. Certainly it will be better to fit them for a position before calling upon them to oc- cupy it, Asomewhat similar remark applies to infant marriages and child widows, The women must desire change before it is made. A philanthropic maiden lady who bad passed her first youth was conversing not long ago with a married Indian lady and her wid- owed sister-in-law on these topics. After she had left them the married lady said, ‘I mor- ried at seven and my husband was nine yeara old, We have lived happily together. How is it that this lady bas not married till her hair is siting gray? Has nobody asked for her? here ought to bea law in England that no one shall remain unmatried after a certain age.” ‘he loyal comment of the sister-in- law on the attack made upon her was sim- ply, “Why does not the empress marry again?” —_—— cee ______ The Poison of Tobacco. From the Medical Record. ‘The great bulk of the evil physical effects due to the moderate use of tobacco are of an intermediate nature and not directly notice- able, The plainly marked results following the use of tobacco in relatively large amounts seem to be due to quick and extreme interference with nutrition, and a diminution of function of all kinds, which may be repre- sented by anything tro! slight decrease of appetite and digestive ability up to a complete loss of function of almost any important organ, Alcohol, owing to the nsual method of intro- duction through the stomach, produces direct noticeable structural changes. But with tobacco, the direct evil results are mostly of @ functional character, and are more gen- erally diffused, owing to the » usual slow manner of introduction into the body. It is easy to see the effects of large amounts of tobacco in the stunted growth of adolescents; in functional cardiac disorder; in intellectual sluggishness, loss of memory and color blindness; in loss of appetite and other neuroses of motion and marked blunting of various fuuctions of sensation and in degen- eracy of descendants. The greater evils that ire the outcome of a moderate use of tobacco re probably due to prolonged slight inter- ence with nutrition and consequent gen- eral decrease of vitality which renders the in- dividual more susceptible, through indixect in- fluence, to the invasion of disease and which lessens the capacity for productive effort. ———— rer. A Smart Sheriff. Sam Hutson escaped from the New Castle @el.) jail in @ mysterious manner.

A young man from New York arrived there at noon time one day last week, and, after getting his bag- gage into his room he took a chair on the front piazza, and began gazing down toward the vast expanse of sail-dotted sea with its low-lying shores edged with foam. To the beach from this hotel it is an unobstructed half mile, and a plank walk rans directly from the hotel steps to the bath houses, Our young man declares that a sharp hittle girl of sixteen detected him on the piazza, when she opened the door of her bathroom half a mile away. She walked straight up that walk with her eyes fixed on him, and, as she came near, he discovered that she was a clever and fine-looking creature, with auburn hair and blue eyes. He followed her with his gaze as she moved up the steps, and she wore 4 sort of half smile on her pretty mouth as she steadily returned his look. When she reached the middle step she sank on one knee with a little ery of pain. The young man sprang to her assistance, asking if he could be of any service. the window into the “I have turned my ankle,” said the girl ; “Oh, it hurtsso! Can you take my hand, please? | ™&2Y,cuts, fled for their tives, Thanks.” And with the assistance of the young man the fair creature limped up the steps and sank into the first chair that was come to. Of course the young man lingered and spoke many solici- tous words of sympathy, finally drawing a chair up near the girl and sitting down himself. It was the bathing hour and the hotel was practi- cally deserted, o these two sat chatting away about sprained ankles an@ liniments until the crowd came pouring back from the beach. All the girls looked with envious eyes at the little fairy who had turned her ankle and wondered who the stylish young man she was talkin, with could be. Dinner time came and sud- denly the girl jumped up from her chair, “T must go now and have my hair fixed for dinner,” said she. ‘I shall see you again, shall I not?” and she cast Sige him e look of flattering hope that he would not forsake her. “I sincerely hope I shall have that pleasure,” he replied. Then the jade went prancing off in a manner which showed that her ankles were in perfect condjtion, Recovering her presence of mind at the door she turned with a mischievous and coquettish look toward the astonished young man and limped out of sight, shrugging her shoulders as she went. ——————+e4e—_____ An Importaut Suit.
