Meanwhile he would have to go to jail, and to this Miss Kremer objected, She signed a release bond, and Monday morning Theodora and Lena appeared at the justice’ office, As the justice was about to make them man and wife Miss Mary Kramper of St. La- borious, who is twenty-eight years old and wealthy, appeared and forbade the ceremo ny “This is my man,” said she to the justice. “Weare to be married in two weeks, and I have bought a house and furnished it for housckeeping.” Theodore looked very sheep- ish as Miss per went on detailing her claims, ‘The justice finally asked Theodore which wo- man he would have, telling him that if he took Leva he would be released: if he selected Mary he would go to jail: “I'll take Mary,” he finally said. This was a sad blow to Lena, and she offered to settle for $1,500. TH give you $700; just what the law allows,” said the triumphant Mary, After some discussion Lena ai ted the $700, which was placed in trust, and Mary walked off with the wily Theodore, whom she will marry in two weeks, ee EXPANDING THE BRAIN, A Paris Doctor Has Found a Way to Make Statesmen of Idiots. The Parisian surgeon, says the Paris editor of the New York Herald has discovered anew method of developing the brain, Noticing that the head of an idiotic little girl was extremely small he removed part of the skull in order to give the brain room to expand. It duly ex- and the girl is now quite as intelligent is any real necessity that a girl should This successful experiment not only shows how idiocy may be cured, but it also seems to establish the fact that a man’s intelli- gence varies as the size of his brain. If, therefore, any man wishes to increase his brain power all he bas to do is to have, say, half of his skull removed. Gen. Boulanger might be converted into a new Napoleon by simply removing his skull and by expanding the brain artificially, The discovery is one which promises to be of great utility and can hardly fail to make the discoverer wonderfully popular in “‘idiotic” circles, —eoe—___ The Partition of Africa. To the arrangement with Germany is now added an arrangement with France. as to the respective spheres of influence of that country and ourselves in Africa,says the London World. According to some critics on the other side of the channel the bargain is altogether to our advantage. It is the triumph of British ra- pacity. According to censors at home Lord Salisbury has been outwitted by M. Ribot and M. Waddington, France obtains the Protectorate of Madagascar as the equivalent of our protectorate over Zanzibar. In western Africa «fine 1s drawn from Say on the Niger to Lake Tchad, giving us the Moussa kingdoms south of that line, the most fertile portions of the Soudan, occupied by the most intelligent and industrious races, while France obtains an uninterrupted tract of territory from Algeria to the Senegal. On both sides oe exception doubtless may be taken to particular points of the arrangement, But, as with the Anglo-Ger- man agreoment, its great merit is that it leaves to each nation a large region in which it will have ample verge and room enough to work pread without coming into collisiou with the other. The time of approach and con- flict will doubtless arri the victory will be to those who hav ne the best with their opportun.ties, to the most capable and energetic. We may rely with modest confidence on the qualities which a century anda half ago decided that India and North America should be English and not French, The dispute whether Swaziland shall belong to the Transvaal, as the Boers insisted, or to England, as the Swazis them- selves wished, has been decided by put- ting it off. For three years the Swazis are to belong to themselves, with a joint gov- ernment, British and Dutch, over the white residents, In the event of the Transvaal joining the South African customs union this arrangement will be permanent. {nu the meantime the Transvaal obtains its long-coreted access to the sea by the conces- sion of a railway across Swaziland to the port of Kosi, by which it becomes independent of the Delagoa bay route. There are little out- lying difficulties with Portugal. Otherwise the group of arrangements which we have de- scribed removes Africa from the region of po- litical controversy. _s@0-- A Characteristic Chinese Incident. There is a small family named Chang, says the Chinese Times, consisting of a mother and a gon of eleven summers, living ina place north of Peking called “‘The Old Tiger Cave.” The old lady was suddenly struck down with somo severe and incurable malady one day last moon, which grew worse from day to day. They were too poor to call in a doctor to give her proper treatment, and her faithful son, wifo constantly attended on her, seeing his mother's severe illness and their abject Poverty ‘and helpless- ness, took a knife and sliced off a big piece of flesh from his thigh. and, after invoking the blessing of heaven, boiled and gave it to her as medicine and food.

Changes Made During the Summer. Monday morning the Corcoran Art Gallery will be reopened to the public after two months’ of locked doors. It will be ina better condition than ever before, with all of the woodwork cleaned and revarnished and repainted, and all of the paintings dusted and cleaned. This Process of renovation has oceupied all of the time of Dr. Barbarin, the curator of the gal- lery, who has worked from early morning until the last ray of light im the even- ing in order that the gallery might be opened on time without the trace of a workman about it, He escorted a Stan reporter through the halls yesterday and explained the work that had been done. REARRANGING THE PAINTINGS. In the main gallery, on the second floor, there has been considerable rearrangement o! the paintings on the south wall in order to luce a better symmetry and develop some itherto undeveloped beauties, The vestal Tuceia is hung higher than before, so that it can be seen almost any point in the gai- lery, and that ly bit of old Dutch life in early New York, the “Edict of Willinm the Testy,” has been bi it from the compara- tive obscurity of the east gallery and hung in th nel on the south side. An exquisite pe work bas been brought down high corner to # point on the lower tered oy details and wage pone be appreciated. e general item of ging has been changed. the voi of long wires being abolished im favor of shorter ones that depend from two parallel strips of wood placed at different heights, running entirely around the gallery, THE NAPOLEON STATUE. The main change.in this gallery is the intro- duction of a single bit of sculpture, the famous “Last Days ef Napoleon,” by Vela, which formerly stood in the darkness of the lower floor amid the relics of an antique art. It has been placed in the center of the floor, between the entrance and the portrait of Mr. Corcoran, surrounded by a neat brass rail. In the rearrangement of the paintings many little gems were brought down to more favor- able positions, while others that could better bear distance were hoisted in their places. None of the paintings, however, havo been “skyed,” (ukied). In the east gallery there has been a weeding out of mostof the land- ‘scapes, and a concentration of the portraits, so that this portion of the floor is becoming more distinctively a portrait gallery, There are several paintings now on exhibition, and space is left for others that are to come later. Among these is the production of F. D. Millet, an American artist. cailed “The Trumpeter,” which has attracted a good deal of attention in New York, where it has been on exhibition for some months. It is a continental interior rep- senting a huge trumpeter spread ma chair surrounded by admiring females whose parents, and possibly sisters, are seemingly of a Puri- tanical disposition, for they sit at a distance in ® reprovingly demure manner. It is consid- ered a fine piece of character work. RENOVATING THE PAINTINGS, The paintings were all removed from their frames, cleaned, oiled, and in some cases var- nished. While the retouching artist, a dili- gent, conscientious Baltimorean, was working on the celebrated Schreyer canvas, ‘The Watering Place,” he accidentally discovered that the sky, a dirty, disagreeable yellow, which regarded as the painting's only merely an accident, having evi- dently been painted on to cover a defect in the way of a bruise of the original coat. He carefully removed this overlay of paint, particle by particle, until the artist's own sky appeared, a delightful combination of gray cloud and blue ether, which, now that it has been brought out and varmished, adds fully twenty-five per cent to the qualities of the canvas, ‘THE STATUARY HALL. Down stairs there is about the same laby- rinth of ancient marbles in their disfigured state, but Dr. Barbarin has introduced a valua- ble new element in the form of a reproduction of the Elgin marbles as they were found. He already had part of them, but had to send to England for copies of the others. His idea has been to present the Parthenon pediment: as it was found and has accurately imitated in wood eo much of the architecture as is necessary to show the marbles as they occupied position on the base, Asallof them were not found, the central figures being missing altogether, the entire pediment is not shown. The c: laced with accuracy and the arrangem: of great value to both historical and art stu- dents, A new style of numbering the wuntings and other pieces on exhibition has cen adopted. Achange has been made in the catalogue, which now appears for the first time in a pic- torial edition. The illustrations, which are clever representations by Moser of bits and corners around the gallery, are well repro- duced, the type is largo and well printed. and the whol? pamphlet presents an artistic ap- pearance under its en covert. The frontis- Piece is a process engraving of Mr. Corcoran, an excellent likeness, and on another page is a beautiful picture of gallery. THE NIGHT EXHIBITIONS, The night exhibitions by the electric light will not be begun immediately, the date of the opening to be determined by the board of trustees at their next meeting. There are no new painting in view at present, and it is prob- able that no purchases will be made this year, agpps of course, this will be a matter for the judgment of the trustees, es Transfers of Real Estate.

Some weeks ago, says the New York Electri- cal Review, while Messrs, Hibbard and Picker- nell of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company were experimenting on a line be- tween Ithaca and Cortland, N, Y., the follow- ing curious action between the telephone and a longedistance transmitter was noticed. Mr. Pickernell was engaged in talking on one pair of wires, while Mr. Hibbard was listening on another pair on the same pole line twenty miles away. Both circuits were equipped with transmitters and receivers, Mr. Pickernell’s voice came in on circuit No. 1 by direct trans- mission, so asto fill the room, and, in fact, made sucha noise that Mr. Hibbard was un- able to listen for traces of induction on circuit No, 2. Doubtless the patrons of long-distance ser- vice will a ite such obstreperons trans- mission, but in this case the receiver on circuit No, 1 must be strangled or the test could not goon. To do this Mr. Hibbard placed the offending receiver against the month- piece of the transmitter on the same circuit so as to closo it up and prevent the escape of Mr. Pickernell’s voice into the room, when, Jo! a shrill and sustained musical note of high pitch was emitted which drowned all other sounds. The pitch varied occasionally through an octave, but was exceedingly uniform in volume, and did not break while the telephone was held against or near the transmitter. The explanation of this action is as follows: The vibrations starting in the transmitter actuated the telephone through the primary and secondary circuits, the telephone throw- ing the impulse back to the transmitter through the air volume separating the two instruments, the transmitter reacting as before, the impulse acting with sufficient rapidity to forma musical note. We believe this is the first recorded observa- tien of “back talk” between a telephone and » The for maintaining this action is stored in the be in good cendii ——— +00 Sunday Drinking in Private Clu From the Pall Mall Gazette. : te : an z SPEED ON THE RAIL, Wi Trains Ever Be Rua at the Rate of 120 Miles an Hoar or MoreY “My opinion is that the speed limit of the lo- comotive engine has been reached with the present guage of track and diameter of driving wheel” said Expert Watkins at the National Museum to a Stan reporter. “I have been given to understand on very credible authority ‘that an engine on one road bas already made a record of 100 mile an hour—of course, over a very short distance of straight and level track. If that is to be beaten, it will only be done by increasing the sise of the boiler, to begin with. To got a greater ca- pacity of boiler it will be necessary to widen the locomotive and therefore the track. If the speed of anything like 120 milles an hour is to be attained in the future, the track must be dened, not by inches but by feet, and the size of the driving wheel proportionately. Naturally TRE QUESTION OF SarEeTT is the first one brought up in connection with ® discussion on this subject, and it is asked: Can trains be run with as much security to life and limb at 120 miles an hour as at 50? My answer to that is: No. Take a given streteh of track, in perfect condition, with m in the Way and train is more likely to ran off rail when going at 150 miles an hour than tra as well as a multitedeof other things, more dificult to look out for the more rapidly trains are going. Most important to think of, too. is the fact that if an accident does occur the train that meets with itis going to euffer in Proportion to the speed at which it is going at the moment of interruption. Two eack going at the rate of 120 miles an hour and coming into collision would quickly be re- duced to kindiing wood, if not toothpicks, THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYER, “Another thing worth inquiring about is the number of men that are going to be required to run one of these en- gines of the future that are to travel 120 miles an hour. Jump on board of one of the fast-flying locomotives at Jersey carries you to Philadelphia at the rate of nearly amile a minute, Do nothing but watch the signals 4 you pass with lightning speed through city after city at grade and across rail- i way after railway intercepting. You will find) that it takes about all your time to catch them, How much leisure has the engineer, then, to look after his steam ange and water gauge, to see to his air brake, to make of his mighty mach: touch with the train dispatcher's office and identify any extra trains as they pase hi that no mistake shall bemade? So is the strain upon this man’s nerves that asa measure of economy the company only - mits him to work four days each week, A spends the remaining three in resting and bracing up for further contests with space and time. 1s OTHER CoUNTRiEs. “Trains in England. on an average, rum faster than in this country. Their cars or car- riages are not nearly so heavy as ours; they have not neariy so many heavy grades end sharp curves, and the law gives the railway exclusive rights over their tracks, the infringe- ment of which is punished by fines and im- prisonment. In England one person out of every 5,250,000 people carricd is killed. To ride on the railways in France is more than twice as dangerous, inasmuch as oue out of every 2,000,000 passengers is killed. Belgium is much eater than England in this respect; only one out of every 9,000,000 is killed on its roads, Safest of all by far are the railways of Prussia, which only kill one out of every — 21,500,000 eople carried. There are many advocates im lavor of making our railroad cars much lighter, the argument being that it is absurd to drag a whole row of houses over the rails in order to transport a lot of comparatively light peckagve in the shape of people But itis very onrtain heavy cars have the advantage to safety in proportion to their weight. You will notice that the passengers in the heavily built parlor cars always get off with very much less damage in an accident than do the occupants of the ordinary cars, which are usually tele- scoped by the Pullman or Wagner coaches, Extra wg to draw means extra expense for the railway companies, but safety for the passengers they carry means saving of money in damages in these days when juries are given to muicting the companies severely in such cases, Of course, you read in the newspapers about the run- ning of Boynton’s bicycle engine at Brighton Beach the other day at the rate of a mile in 32 seconas, or 112 miles an hour. That may give 8 notion of the future of railroading as r pe. but I am not myself of the opinion that @ bicycle idea will work any revolution im t the business of transportation by rail.” ait ooo. _ Shorty Smith’s Yarn, From the Arizona Miner. “Shorty” Smith, the boss packer of the Brad- shaw mountains, while driving his pack train up the Del Pasco hill, had a very exciting ex- perience last week. Part of the mules were loaded with a Frue concentrator. One of the mules, the largest in the train, was loaded with the long side sills of the concentrator, one on each side, and when the train had got half way up the hill and om the steepest part of the trail the mule with the timbers gave a lurch sideways and landed about one hundred feet down the bili and lodged suspended in the air between two oak trees about fifteen feet from the ground. How to get the mule down was the next ques- tion. But, like all great packers, “Shorty” was equal to the emergency. He soon took in the situation, rashed up to one of the mules that had some powder, caps and fuse in ite pack, which he soon fixed so as to explode the pow- der and placed it in the hollow end of one of the trees. He touched a match to the fuse and yelled: “Get out of the road!” And when the shot went off and the «moke had cleared away “Shorty” looked around and saw Old Tom (the mule) with his load ali on walking up the bitl to the rest of the train and not a scratch on him. —see.
