Her father is Court- ney H. Gordon, a rich farmer, whose Place is three miles from Mattawan, N. J. Early last string Davis, tattered, torn and foot weary, arrived at the | Gordon farm-and asked for work. He said the was of good family, but in hard luck, and he begged so kard for employment that Farmer Gordca hired him. Davis seemed to put his whole heart in the work he had to do about the farm, and the farmer liked him so well that he -kept him employed until about ten days ago, when the farm work slackened'and his help was not needed Davis then took up his residence ar Keyport. After having worked for Gordon 3 few weeks Davis was able to buy him- self good clothes. Upon occasions hr donned his best and made a very good appearance. The longer he stayed at the farmhouse the better he was liked by the Gordon family. It was noticed that Miss Lizzie often smiled upon him, and of late they had been seen strolling along the road’ together. seen so often together that the neigh- bors began to remark, saying “That Davis fellow seems to be shining up | to his young mistress.” Nothing se- rious was thought of by the family, however, and the daughter was allow- ed to receive the man’s attentions. After leaving the farm Davis came down upon several occasions to see Miss Lizzie. One day last month he eame to the house with a horse and buggyand took her for a drive, They went to Keyport and since then have not been seen.

Offspring of a Rotary Mind, It Takes a . Circular Twist. The bicycle is.responsible for a new salutation. From the wheel to ride has | been evolved the wheel to shake. The | new handshake is rotary, muscular and amusing; it is also growing popular. The bicycle handshake is here to stay, and neither war, nor rumors of war will diminish its popularity. The bicycle handshake {s the natural offspring of. a rotary. mind busied 12 | hours in the day with its own and other people’s wheels. If men and | Women ride wheels and talk little else and | but wheels-it is only natural that they should soon begin to think wheels, and thinking wheels makes the thinker look at life as a thing circular, speedy and puncturable. The bicycle face, the high and low gear laugh, the puncture- proof self-assurance and’ the chainless conversational ability are part and Parcel: of the bicycle era. And now the bicycle handshake adds the final touch of refinement. To ride on the saddle of convention- ality you must grasp the right’ grip of a friend when you meet him or her, elevate your digital handlebar above your chin and push off into space with your hand and'the hand of your friend in tandem, describing +a 100-inch sprocket wheel in the air, while you indulge in verbal scorching about the weather—and wheels. In other words you grasp the hand of your friend and attempt to. wrest his arm: out of its socket by making a human windmill of him. If you don’t indulge in the bicycle handshake—well, you’re not a wheelman, and that’ means social and business: ostracism:—New York Jour- nal. TOOK ACCUSTOMED PLACES. Ten of the Twelve durymen File Inte the Criminal Dock. “I have just 1eturned from a trip to the southwest,” d.a lawyer, “and whenever I happened to be in a town where a court was sitting I made it my business to go and see how justice was dispensed. In one town, whigh shall be uameless, ‘the trial of a man who has been accused of shooting a neighbor’s dog was about to begin. I found the court room crowded with lo- cal. characters, each one of whom mow at least two rapid fire guns, slick and well loaded. Twelve of these fellows had been drawn for the jury, as they swaggered around fas easy to. see that they felt their eee importance. By and by there | was an agitation near the door, and in marched the judge. Seating him- séif on the bench he rapped for silence, and, acting as his own crier, ‘he shout- ed in a massive voice: “This court will now come to or- der, and it came. Another thump on his desk, and then the judge said in a decisive fashion: “The gents who have been drawn for the jury will now take their accus- tomed places.’ “Twelve heavily armed men arose as one man and ten of them filed into the dock.”—New York Sun, 0 An Old English Firm. For more than 300 years a drapery business has been carried on in the same building at ‘Sheffield, under the | title of the Sign of the Crowne, and since 1750 the business has been con- ducted by one family.

ENGLISH SENATOR. Runs Off with the Daughter of His | One of the Pecuilarities of Registering’ at Monaco. To be thorcughly informed about the personality and movements of every visitor, the government at Monaco, Eu- rope’s. gambling principality, supplies the hotel registers, which are examin: ed daily by the police, and any land- lord who allows a guest to remain even for a night in his house without filling up the blanks makes himself Hable to a.heavy fine. The blanks include such questions as name, residence, occupa- tion, last halting place, intended dura- tion of. stay in Monaco and intended destination. So, when George appear- ed with the black-covered book in his hand I knew what he wanted. Per- haps I should explain that here, as in most European hotels, it is not neces- sary for a guest to go near the Office unless he chooses to. The register is brought to his room; the bills, the meals, if he likes, and the landlord, too, if-he is rung for. “All right, George,” I told him, “don’t bother me with the thing. You register: under any name and occupa- tion you think would bgsuitable. Iam not in the least. particular.” He went to the mantel piece with the book and a lead pencil, and his ex- Pression showed that he was going through a severe mental struggle. When it was over he brought: the book to see “wheder dat’ll do, sa..” In his anxiety to make his country- man appear as grand as possible, he had rather turned the tables upon me, for he had registered me as “Hon. G. W. Ingram; residence, Washington; occupation, United States senator; last stopping place, Paris; intended stay in Monaco, two weeks; intended destina- tion, Cairo, Egypt.” Fine as it looked, such false pretenses might lead to awk- ward complications, and it was neces: sary to find some way to back out gracefully. “Has my friend registered yet?” I asked. “No, sah,” said George. “I’se jest goin’ to his room now, sah.” “Very, well, then,” I told him. “You need not trouble him: This descrip- tion you have written will answer for him very nicely, and I will put my own j tame and ‘pedigree’ beneath it,” which ; I did, and the rosy young Englishman ! received the greatest honor of his life ; by being made for the moment an American and a senator.—New York Times. SHE FOOLED THE BORROWER. Mendacious Woman's Scheme to Avold Making a Small Loan. There is an art in warding off re- quests for small loans which some men possess, but when {t comes to polite, ingenious, not to say scientific, denials and evasions the average woman far surpasses the average man. Usually, too, women manage to dodge the bor- rowers without greatly straining the truth, though the instance which fol- lows is an exception. A Chicago wo- man with a reputation as a borrower turned up at the home of one of her friends the other morning with a much done-over story about a persistent and threatening dressmaker, and the usual request for the loan—“pay it back to- morrow, certain”—of $5, “Why, my dear, certainly,” was the pleasant response to her carefully re- hearsed little yarn. “You poor thing, you! Just wait till I run upstairs and get my purse.” She ran upstairs. The male head of the house happened to be in the room where she kept her purse. He saw her dig the purse out of tha chiffonier drawer and deliberately remove a wad of bills from it, leaving about 37 cents in silver and copper in the change re- ceptacle. The man was mean enough to lean over the stair railing when hit wife went downstairs to the parlor witb her flattened pocketbook in her hand “Oh, I’m so sorry, Mrs. X.,” he heard her say, “but I really thought I had the money. I find, though, that John. as usual, has been at my purse—I heard him say something about settling a plumber’s bill last night when I was half asleep—and the mean thing has only left me enough for car fare. Too bad! Of'course, you know, if I had it,” etc. POWER OF THE PRESS.

Glatigny died of rab- fes at her home at Seventh and Bull streets. yesterday morning about 2 o’clock. Her sufferings from spasms of the throat and larynx just before her death were terrible, and it was impos- sible to do anything: for her relief, says the Savannah (Ga.) News of March 23. Dec. 29 Miss Glatigny took her dog and went out for a walk toward Mr. Kies- ling’s place, a short distance. from her home. When near there:she saw two dogs, one of which attacked her dog, and when she took a stick to beat it off the other dog sprang at her and bit her through the right -hand, between the thumb and forefinger. Miss @lat- igny went on to Mrs. Kiesling’s, where some turpentine was applied to the wound and after some days !t healed up. On Jan, 12 it broke out again and Dr. Stanley was called: He pricked the hand and let out a small accymula- tion of pus, after which it healed again ‘und she took no further notice of it until Thursday, March 18, seveuty-nine days after the bite, when, about 12 o’clock noon, she began to feel a pain in the hand, which. ran up the arm, through the shoulder and down her side, She wus very restless Friday night and in the morning and com- plained that the pain kept annoying her. She was about the same Friday. night and Saturday morning about 10 o'clock she sent for Dr. George H. Stone. When Dr. Stone called he found her suffering from this pain, but there were no other symptoms and it ap- peared that she had taken cold. The pain was easily relieved and it did not [KING KILLED BY A 8EEF BONE. The Days When Fun Meant Only-Sheer Bratality. The king who died in this houge was. that young Dane who appears to have been an incarnation of the ideal Danish brutality. He dragged his brother’s body. out of its grave and flung it into the Thames; he massacred the people of Worcester and ravaged the shire; and he did these brave deeds and many others all in two short years, says the Pall Mall Magazine. Then he went to his own place. His de- parture was both. fitting and dramatic. For one so young, it showed with what @ yearning and madness he had been drinking. He. went across the river— there was, I repeat, no other house in Lambeth except this, so that it must have been here—to attend the wedding of his standard bearer, Tostig the Proud, with Goda, daughter of the Thane Osgod Clapa, whose name _sur- vives in his former estate of Clapham. A Danish wedding was always an oc- casion for hard drinking, while the minstrels played and sung and the mummers tumbled. When men were well drunken the pleasing sport of bone throwing began; they threw the bones at each other. The fun of the game consisted in the accident of a man not being able to dodge the bone, which struck him and probably killed him. Archbishop Alphege was thus killed: The soldiers had no special desire to kill the old man; why couldn’t he enter into the spirit of the game and dodge the bones? As he did not, of course he was hit, and as the bone was a big and a heavy one, hurled by. a powerful hand, of course it split open his skull. One may be permitted to think that perhaps King Hardacnut, who is said to have fallen return. She had one choking spell and on the return of Dr. Stone Sunday morning she complained that she had not slept through :the-night, though sha had suffered no pain. She then showed signs of rabies in her inability. to swal- low and from then until 2 o'clock in the 2m)rning, when she died, there was & constant succession of spasms. when- ever she attempted to drink water. Al- though she wished for water eagerly, and would hold a glass of it in her hand for an hour at a time, while the Sight of it did: not seem disagreeable to her, yet when she-attempted to swal- low it her effort would make. the spasms of the throat still more intense and these kept up: continuously. to the time of her death, nature being unable to endure longer the severe strains pro- duced.’ Miss Glatigny was conscious to the time of “er death. She knew those about her and would talk when she had long enough relief from the constantly recurring spasms of the throat to do so. Her case was accom- panied by all of the other symptoms of rabies, such as extreme nervous irri- tability. .Touching her nose at at- tempting to blow it would bring on a severe ‘spasm, as would also any draught of air, no. matter how slight, On one occasion the suggestive treat- ment was tried and;she was finally en- abled to drink a glass of water. through the induced belief that she could do it. But this could not be kept up an@ the spasms became more frequent and More severe until death: relieved her. Yesterday morning DrySteme and Drs. Graham and Brunner held an autopsy for the purpose of making a thorough investigation of the case. There was. no doubt in the minds of any of them that it was a.true.case of rabies.

You might have ‘im- agined yourself in London upog a bank holiday. But the present empress is a woman of very firm religious, princi- ples and William II, however change- able he may be in other matters, is a rock where his pious belief is con- cerned. It has veen the dearest wish: of both himself and. the empress to in- troduce the ““Exglish Sunday” to the Germans, and it is wonderful, tadeed, how they have succeeded. The in- crease of belief is remarkuble; the Ber- lin cnurches are now attended by crowds and the clergymen, torinerly at a discount in society, are: feted as if they were the military, Both emperor and.empress always attend divine ser vice in the morning. The preacher is forbidden, it is true, to speak longer than fifteen minutes and the congregar tion is warned: against “staring” at their majesties.

From the New York Sun: Although every one has his feet measured for shoes, there are very few persons whe know what the sizes marked upon thé shoe stick medn. There.are two shoe sticks. in: use-in. America and. Europe. The stick used in the United. States was originally English, and is still used in England. The rest of Europe uses the French stick. The sizes on the English shoe stick were derived from the length of a bar- ley corn, and they run three to the inch, The first mark onthe stick, or size 1 is made arbitrarily, just four and a half inches from the upright. Why this distance was fixed upon does not appear to be known. For some other reason, which can only be guessed at, the graduated part of the stick is again divided into two sets of’ numbers. These numbers begin at 1 and run up to 13, and then they begin at 1 and run up to 13. The first numbers from 1 to 5 are known as infants’ sizes, those from 6 to 10 as children’s, from 11 to 2 as misses’ sizes, from) 24% to. 6%! ag women’s, and from 7 to 13 as men’s sizes. i The French shoe stick is divided into & great many more sizes than the Eng- livh, and the French shoemakers sub- divide ‘these again, as is done with the English sti¢ks, into: half sizes.. There {s- no exact relationship: bet’ ‘Ahe markings on the two sticks, but the French size 16 corresponds to the Eng- lish infants’ 1, and their size 44:is the same as the English size 10 for men. A woman who wears a 2% shoe: by Eng- lsh measure would get a 34 or 35 by the French measure, and a man with a 7 foot by English measure would wear a 40 shoe in France. Over here the width of the shoe is designated by a letter, while the French use figures. The width AAA Is the French 000. B is the French 1 and EE the: French 6 width. ° IT CAME LATE. But It. Was None the Less Heartfelt and Sincere. “The assistant rector of a well- known Episcopal church in the bor- eugh of Manhattan told an amusi story to a Brooklyn acquaintance n long ago,” says the Brooklyn Standard Union. “There is 1, colored woman in my parish whom i have known. for several years. A year or 80:ago she lost her husband, and though she did not put on mourning for him, shi seemed to:feel her affliction deeply. short time since she was married again. I met her a day or two ago, and to my surprise she. was dressed in the deep- est mourning. “Why, Mrs. Black, what does this mean?’ I asked. ‘Well, you see, sah,’ was the answer, ‘when my first husband died I didn’t hab n money, sah, to pay for mourning; an now I’se married again, and got de money; I’se put on mourning for my first husband.’ ” Lord Wolseley as Man of Letters. Lord. Wolseley is almost as devoted to the pen as to the sword; and if he had not been fated to be a field-mars: he would: beyond question have been a man of letters. He rises early in thé smorning:to write, and his official duties only commence when a pile of MS. testifies. to his industry with the pen. Hetarich Heine's Jealousy. Heinrich Heine, the German poet, was terribly jealous. One day he pois- ‘oned a parrot belonging to his lady love, for fear it should claim too much.
