The Extravagant Prices New Or- leans Ladies Pay for their Shoe-Leather. New Orleans Times. “Yes, sir,” said a down-town fash- ionable shoemaker to a Times repor- ter, ““I do a big business on what you might call a small scale. T haven't such a great number of customers, but those I have pay me well for my work, I only employ eight assistants, seven of whom are women and girls; but they know how to do the work allot- ted to them to my complete satisfac- tion. T make a specialty of my busi- ness and 1 get orders from a great many different places.” ““What is your specialty?”’ inquired the reporter, becoming interested. *‘Shoeing pretty feet,” was the sen- tentious reply. “You don’t call those pretty shaped shoes, do you?" asked The Times man pointing to a rather awkward looking pair, ““Well, no; but they are intended for a lady who thinks she has pretty feet, and so long as sho is willing to pay a high price for the delusion I dou’t object. You see, that whena lady buys her shoes from me her ac- quaintances immediately jump to the conclusion that she has pretty feet. If they are undeceived afterwards they are too polite to say anything to her about it "' “‘Are New Orleans ladics yery par- ticular about what kind of shoes they wear!" ““They are indeed; in fact they all are. 80 far as my observations go, and I think T ought to know. Why, I have been paid as much as €150 for a pair of shoes by a lady who was par- ticularly anxious to give her fest a pretty showing, Since the fashion of short dresscs has come into vogue 1 have been put to my wits' end devi- sing new methods for makipg feet look smaller, There are a great many devices for ac- complishing this end, and among them shading and coloring are not the least important. A lady should not wear the same colored shoes during the day as she does at night, if she wants to deceive people as to the sizo of her feet." “Aren’t high heels a great help in your business!"’ ““Of course they are, but it is very difficult to adapt them to some people i | who ave slightly sway-backed, or who lean forward a good deal in walking. 1 have to make allowance for all these peculiarities, and the task is very difti- i "n lady who was one of the richest and i [outside places—whoro are those places? “Citics at the North and W 1 { | store three months later. I was very,much amused one time at one of my regular customers. I re- ceived an order to make as neat a pair of shoes as I corld according to the measure that was sent me. I ex- pressed some surprise to the bearer of the order at the dimensiims stated, when T was told that the shoes wero | intended for a female, but the bearer | said that the shoes were for an old servant, Well, T afterwardsfound oue | that the shoes were actually worn by most fashionable in the efty.” “You spoke of getting orders from don’t know that there is anything ing the world that is so well calculated to excito envy as a pretty foot, and when a person can boast ot such a possession, he or she 1s very apt, if poverty does not stand in the way, to o the most of it, A pretty foot is a fortune to o woman, Last year I made a pair of shoes for a lady who had as’ pretty feet as ever were fashioned. It was a pleasure for me to make the shoes,and! when they were finished 1 put them in the show window in a very con- spicuous place whero 1_could admire them at my leisure. Pretty soon a nicely dressed gentleman stopped and ! began looking at them very attentive- ly. Presently he entered the store and inquired if they were for sale 1 told him no, that they were made for one of my customers. He lookedsur- to Fallston, two miles further down the road, for the purpose of continu- ing work on a new depot, in progress of erection at that point. He asked Rogers if there was a probability of danger if tho run was attempted be- fore the second section passed. Rogers says ho cautioned Robison not to at- tempt the start, as the second section was_running lively without stop, and would likely pass his train ere Youngs. town was reached. Robison laugh- ingly roplied that he would risk t, saying if the hand-car was struck, that was all it would amount to evidently moaning that the men could jump in time to save themselves, teport says, the first seotion passed on and Robison and his men proceed ed to load the hand-car with carpen- ters’ tools. Half way between Beaver and Fallston the little stroam known as DBrady's run empties to the Beaver river, The railway passes over the mouth of the creek and the crossing is made by a trestlo work or bridge at a height of thirty-five feet. Robison knew that ten minutes must elapse according to the regula- tions of the line ere the second section could follow the first. A portion of these precious ten minutes was con- sumed i loading tools on to the hand- car Then all was pronounced res and nine mea boarded that littlo car. Nine great strong men in the heyday of life, seven of them on their ride to death, Thoy were James Robiuson, a resi- dent of Bridgewater; James Baldwin, of Phillipsburg; Richard Brown, Beaver; Stephen Foster and Elijah prised and asked the lady's name. I would nat give him this much satis- faction, but told him where she lived however. I was considerably sur prised to learn afterwards that he was calling at the house, and more sur- prised still when the lady, accompa- nied hy the gentleman, called at the She called him ‘dear’ then, so [ guess they were married.” “In what part of the country are the prettiest feet to be found?” “Right here in New Orleans. The creole people, you know, are famous for their protty feet, but I've found that some of the American ladies have as much to boast of in this respect as the creoles. There is some- thing else that you perhaps don't know. I've been written to a number of times for ‘models.’ In New York ond Boston. where a- good deal of statuary work is done, the artists need models for feet as much as they do subjects for the face and ure. It isan impossibility to find a perfectly formed human being, and hence an artist or sculptor has to work from models taken from different sources. There was an artist from Brooklyn visiting here last year, He came to sce e one day, and during his stay said that the prettiest feet he had ever seen 1n Lis life were those of the old creole gentlemen. I'here is a heap of truth ¢én that re- mark. An old creole gentleman is the only matured man that can justly pride himself on the beauty of his feet. You see they know how to take care of their fuet, and when they get old they can wear as close fitting shoes as they did in thgir young duys American gentlemen can't say that much, and yet everybody accuses the young creole of being more of adandy than the young Amer cans,” “Do you see as many pretty feet now as formerly?” “No indeed; pretty feet are becom- ing very scarce. I don’t know what the cause of it is. It’s strange, too, that people’s feet don’t grow smaller, because I read that the races are ret- rograding, and in the course of two hundred years a man six feet high will be considered a giant, Children are becoming so plentiful nowadays that parents cannot afford to keep them in shoes, and hence their feet are allowed to spread more than they should. That's one cause of ugly feet.” ey DASHED TO DEATH. How the Hand-Car was- Hurled From the Trestle Bridge by the Special Funeral Train. Pittshurg Leader. The frightful accident on the Pitts- burg and Lake Ere railway Tuesday morning was one of the saddest and certainly the worst in all its features ever known on the road. It has caused a feeling of the most intense horror throughout all Beaver county, and in fact wherever its terrible details have become known. The accident, as its particulars became thoroughly known, grows in magnitude. Last evening a Leader reporter found, upon making inquiry, LE‘:L a great feeling of indig- nation has become a[:parent among the friends and neighbors of the men whose lives have been so cruelly taken away. This fecling is against the wilway company, and has its origin no doubt in the many wild and con- flicting rumors that are floating about. Reliable information makes the facts appear as follows. The train that left Washington Friday night by the Baltimore and Ohio railway was u special containing a number of jour- nalists, together with the commandery of Templars, of which the late presi- dent was » member. It was the cbject to reach Cleveland in advance of the train bearing the remains of the presi- dent. The trip was made without any in- cident of especial note until this city was reached, about 5:30 Tuesday morning, No time was lost in trans- ferring the journalists to the Pitts- burg & Lake Erie depot, where & spe- cial train, an engine and two cars, was in waiting, the rear car being one of the handsome Woodruff drawing- room coaches, Conductor Baird was in charge of the train, while the mas- ter mechanic of the railway, Mr. Samuel Haines, was the enginecr. He is a thorough mechanic, and as it was intended to run to Cleveland should be extra fast as well as safe, every procaution was taken and the best crew obtainable was placed on beard. The train was scheduled as the second section of train No, 7, which leaves the city at 5:40 in the morning. The fist section pulled out on time and reached Beaver, twenty- oight miles distant without ilnpul{- ment. At Beaver the boss of a num- ber of carpenters employed on the road, James Robison, approached the engineer in charge, H. H. Rogers, and asked about the second section, observing that Rogers' engine had signal flags, indicating that it was followed. Robison said he wanted to take his workmen, eight in number, Corney, Homewood; George Vankirk, Alliquippa; Jerome Peterson and Richard Irwin, Beaver, and William Graham, Bridgewater, The fog that was visible with daylight had not yet entirely lifted, somewhat obscuring the view, but the men had no fear, and sped on their way in joyous con- versation. They moved rapidly until the bridge across Brady's Run was reached. Then there was a roar and rumble, and, as Peterson described it, he turned his head to look, when oh, horror of horrors, the second section was speeding around the curve at a spoed of fifty milos an hour. On it came with frightful velocity, while the men lent all their strength to the levers of tho car, but it was a smil's pace to the speed of the flying iron mohster that came pufling, hissing along. ‘‘Men, jump for your hwves!" shouted Paterson, and he sprang with one of two others into the yawning culf bencath. The engineer of the train saw the hand- car through the fog, and he states he reversed his engine as soon as possi- ble, but it was too late. The pilot of the engine struck tho little car with a great crash, forcing the trucks nearest it up, and pushing it along to the oth- ar ond of tho hri(%go as if in anger at the miniature obstruction, threw it spitefully into the ditch. There the train came to a halt, and in an instant all were out and speeding back to the bridge, looking for the 1men who were on the hand-car when the crash came. What o sight met the gaze of that horror-stricken party. Poor Baldwin rested on the trestle, his head nearly severed from its trunk, the blood ooz- ing over the ties and dripping down into the gulf beneath. HK:e was stone dead, poor fellow, struck by the coupling or “bull nose” attached to the pilot. Dr. Smith Townsend was on board, and at once went to the aid of the men, The scene is well de- scribed at this point by one of the journalists on board. He says: The special came dashing around the sharp curve on the high trestle bridge at a speed of forty-five miles an hour when the engineer was horri- fied to see only ashort distance in front of him a hand car with nine men on it. He reversed the engine, but the train had slackened but little when it came upon them. Two of the men jumped from the hand-car for- ward on to the trestle outside of the ralls before the engine struck it. Here they managed to hang on for life while the train Went sweeping by over their heads. One man was mashed to jolly against the front of the boiler, the whole front of the en- gine being spattered with blood and braips. Another wasstruck and killed and his body thrown off on to the trestle, whero it hung suspended across one of the ties until removed after the train had been stopped. The man’s face was cmnl(nlutuly torn off}. and was a most shocking spectacle to look upon, Still another was caught by the pilot and carried to the end of the trestle, where the dead body fell off. The others were thrown down over the trestle thirty- five fect to the ground below. On stopping the train the party went back and picked up the men who were dead and laid out the bodies. Dr. Smith Townsend, health ofticer, who was the physician who first attended Garfield after he was shot, was on the train with the Knights Templar, and he immediately got to work to do what he could for the wounded, Richard Irvin and Peterson, who jumped and clung to the trestle, were only bruised a little and did not. need his attendance at all, James Robinson was badly wounded in the leg, which was dressed Many men, women and children were soon on the spot, the latter moaning and crying; the men were sullen. Bome'one in the journalistic pariy on the trestle halloed to some men below to briug up the wounded men, #o that they could be attended to by the doctors, They yelled back: “The railroad did the bloody work and they are the ones that should fin- ish the job.” The journalists say the accident was the result of a foolbardy piece of dar- ing on the part of the hand-car men, They had been warned by Eugineer Rogers that it was coming. Not- withstanding this, they attempted to cross the trestle ahead.of it. The foreman said he thought he could make the other end, where he ex- dected to take the car from the track. e e e FARMERS ANDMECHANICS, If you wish to avoid great danger and trouble, besides @ no small bill of expense, at this season of the year, you should take prompt steps to keep disease from your household, The system should be cleansed, blood purified, stomach and bowgls regula- ted, and provent and cure discases arising from spring maluria.
