THE GOSSIP LAND.

Oiiestlnls J.ove to Talk and There Is so Stopping Them.

vv'oe be unto the inhabitant of Chin.\ who seek to exclude the rest of the world from the inner secrets of Lis house! Woe be unto him who imagines he can have secrets! Such a thing as a "private house" in China is unknown. Anyone can go anywhere. The foolish ones shut their doors to shut the gossips out. "What is going on now?" the old women and even the men demand. "What has he to hide from his fellow townsfolk?" As there are no newspapers to furnish the materials for conversation neighbors must afford the subjects of speculation, and so the gossip flourishes.

A Chinaman who can give an accurate census of Ms relatives and connections has a fi jak of memory. What he lacks his wift provides. Ilis children marry early and supply all deficiencies.

At 00 he is related to literally hundreds upon hundreds of persons, and all have active recollections of the relationship, and their relatives in turn feel a family interest in the one great man of the family. There is usually at least one shining light somewhere on the domestic horizon, and to this shrine all the curiosity of the enormous community of "friends" journeya

Jeweled Shoe-Ilattons*

It is not unusual now to see silver or gold shoe-buttons on the latest French boots. These are not, of course, put upon walking boots—but on those for carriage, reception, or bouse wear, when the boot is of velvet, satin or brocade. In some of the French shops jeweled shoe-buttons have appeared, such as turquoise, amethyst, garnets and other stones, set ip silver or gold.

GOING UP! GOING DP! A Prediction Fulfilling.

Two months ago Darter & Larsh advised farmers to bold their wheat, that ihe price woald advance 40 per cent. At that time wheat was worth 48 and 80 cents. To-dav it is worth from 60 to 02 cents. Is'nt the prophecy being fulfilled to the letter? Of course it is.

KILLED AT HIS OWN DOOR.

Mysterious Murder of Hnnry Bellwood Carlyle, 111.

Cahlyi-e, 111., Sept. 27.—A murder was commi'ted here last night which is shrouded fc mystery. Henry Hellwood, a w*)i-to-do farmer just east of tho oity limits, was killed at his own threshold. The implement of death was a railway car pin, with which Hellwood^ unknown assailant struck him on the foreheaJ and face, crushing his face aad breaking his skull. When found he was laying on his face with his knife lying open under the body. Presumably he had drawn it in attempting to defend himself.

He had b''en in tb» habit of carrving considerable sums of money, and the theory is that some mce familiar with the man kille him for his money. His pocketbook can not be found. There is no positive clew to the identity of the murder.-]-. Itellwood was an unobtrusive farmer and had no enemies. This is the second mysterious murder which has occurred in the last year or two in the same neighborhood.

ItiK c.iopnanc nt f.nrge in Indian*.

Pkruk, Ind., Sept. 27.—Diamond, the ten-ton elephant and king of the h«*rd in Wallace &, Co.'s circus, in v» inter quarters near this city, broke, his chains yesterday morning, buttec' down the heavy double doors of tlit building and then breaking through the heavy gates of the grounds forded the Mississinewa river. From this point he rushed across the fields through barbed-wire and other fences and then along the turnpike for a distance of nine miles before he was captured. Consternation reigned and farmers lied for their lives. Keeper Patsy Forepaugh and others followed on foot and had a narrow escape from the infuriated beast, which desperately resisted capture. The supposed cause of the big brute's wr«".th is rats in the elephant i^o'iso.

Arrangement of Woman's Hair.

There is a struegle in Paris to introduce the fantastic fashions in hair dressing which accompanied the odd toilets lately revived. The struggle, however, has been practically in vain, the most fashionable nomeit refusing to be made conspicuous at the expense of their beauty. Most of them wear the hair frizzed and waved and arranged in a small chignon at the back round this, when worn with evening

asbangkmrnt of woman's hair. dress, strings of pearls are entwined or diamond revieres are placed.

The illustration given above shows one of the more moderate variations of the 1630 style. It is simple indeed when compared with the towering loops and bows of hair which have been worn by extremists of late. )The chief coififeur of Paris may be presumed to be the chief coiffeur of the world therefore what that clever person, M. Lentheric, says about a woman's hair will be of interest to most women who want to be as lovely as nature permits. In the first plaae Lentheric condemns the use of false hair. "It is hot," he says, "it Is uncomfortable, it is not pretty." Nor does he approve of dyeing the hair, though some hairdressers contend that dye is tho only thing that improves the growth of the locks. When undertaking to "dress a head" Lentherio takes all the hair in his hand and draws it up to the top of the head that he may study the 6hape of the skull then he looks in the glass and watches his subject's expression, and then he begins his work. He declares that it is rare to find a woman whose head and face .are well formed enough to bear the Greek st.yld of hair arrangement. M. Lentheric, by the way, dressed the heads of all the historical figures in the French exhibit at Chicago.—Chicagro Tribune.

Latest in Bonnet**

The very latest novelty in bonnets is a trifling affair not so large as were the head dresses of thirty years ago. They are really mere airy nothings, useful only as custom elects that something shall be worn on the head, and they fulfill at least the letter of the law. They are used almost exclusively for dressy occasions and the most fashionable are white. One that is especially chic is a tiny confection of white fancy straw, with a cap-shaped crown and a brim of folds of moussellne de sole caught up into a chou in front. Two choux of white satin hold two tiny white wings pointing along each side of the crown. The only large thing about this bonnet is the strings. These are of wide white ribbon.

As to hats, they are for the most part of medium size. The most popular En^ish sailor is of Milan straw and has a double brim to make it very stiff and is about four inches wide. It is trimmed simply with a ribbon band and a bow on the left side English turbans of rough straw in two shades of ecru are worn with linen suits. Toques are more fushionable than they

A RATTLING T*Mfi.

Given a Stick and a Plcke* Fence the Boy Is Bound to Have It.

"Every middle-aged man of sound memory who was brought up in town," said Mr. Gratebar, "will recall the fact that when he was a boy he found great delight in rattling a stick along the picket fence. "This amusement of childhood, like many others of that period of life,*appears to have been transmitted from generation to generation without material change. The strings of spools and the soldier hats and so on of the children of to-day are substantially like those of their forefathers. But it might seem to some that this succession is in danger of being broken. "In many suburban towns and villages there is now no picket fence. The modern spirit says lawns, and so there are many places where tho louses are as if in parks, and where the younger children might not know a picket fence If they should see one. "I have two children, for instance, «fho I am quite sure have never enJoyed the felicity of rattling a hard stick against the resounding pickets. It might indeed seem, under sucb circumstances, that this is one of the enjoyments of childhood which in soma families might be lost altogether that one could scarcely expect the children of these children who have never rattled pickets to think of it themoelves but I oannot believe this. "I believe, rather, that if in their youlh the children of these children should come upon a town where picket fences still remained they would pick up the handiest stick and go quite naturally and very gleefully rattling it along the pickets for I cannot believe that a habit grounded for centuries in the human race can be utterly lost by its lapse in a single generation.

LUKE'S IRON CROWN.

A Terrible Mode of Punishment Used In the Middle Ages One of the most awful modes of punishment inflicted by the law-invested barbarians of olden times was that jocularly referred to by the old inquisitors as "Luke's iron orown." I can only find record of one countryHungary—where it became the recognized mode of killing criminals convicted of enormous crimes (and there was only used on regicides) but several other governments are known vo have used it in aggravated cases. This mode of punishment with an apostolic name consisted of placing a crown of red-hot iron upon the head and leaving it there until the sizzling flesh and bone burned away and allowed the very brain of the writhing wretch to be fried to crisp before life had entirely left the body. Could even a hoofed and horned, spike-tailed devil, fresh from the infernal regions, devise a more inhuman method of inflicting the death penalty?

The term "Luke's iron crown" was applied to this method of legal killing because it was first used in ridding Hungary of a rebel named Luke Dosa. Luke and his brother George headed a revolt and the former allowed himself to be crowned king by his folowers. When finally taken by the government they made the crown business "too hot for him"—an ex« ample to future would-be kings.

Boy Hans* Himself.

Oakland, 111., Sept. 27.—Yesterday evening Phillip Potts, a farmer residing near llumerick, had occasion to ohastise his ittle son, aged 12 years, for some offense. The little fellow told him that if he whipped him he would hang himself. The father gave him a couple of slaps and after this the boy went, into an outhouse and took a small rope, attached it to a rafter and tied the other end around his neck. The parents missed tho child and bejran to call him, but he did not answer, so they went out to look for him and found him nearly strangled 10 death. At last acc unts it was feared he could not survive.

1 ARGENTINE INSURGENTS CAPI URE A CITY.

The Month American Itnpubllc In the Midst of a Revolution—Ex-Tresldent

1'elllgrlnl Leading tho Government Forces—Situation Urowlng Worse.

IUtkxos Ayhkb, Sept. 26.—The town of Rosari'-' is in the hands of the rebels. '1 .ie national troops have retreated to San Nicolas, fifty miles distant from ltosario.

Ex-PresidentPellicrini, undismayed by the threat of the rebels to shoot him on the spot if he again falls into their hands, has arrived safely before Tucuman, and telegraphs here that he szpects the rebels will soon surrender.

Other advices, however, have it that the foreign colonists of Santa Fe and its neighborhood are joining in the rebellion, and that some bloody engagements between the rebels and goverumcnt may expected hourly.

It is an admitted tact that a determined rebellion against President Saenz-Pna and his government is fon foot, and if the foreign element has taken a hand in it against the president and his party his downfall is not unlikely, as tne foreign interests are powerful and well represented here.

The whole of the Argentine Republic is convulsed with excitement and a revolution is in progress throughout the north at least. Government reports may attempt to belittle the situation, but this does not alter the fact. At Santa Fe some of the national troops have already sided with the rebels and the latter expect to receive further reinforcements from the same source. On the other hand, exPresident Pelligrini is leaving no stone unturned to crush the rebellion, and be knows that his life depends upon the success or failure to do so. With the object of defeating his enemies—for the rebellion is as much aimed at Pelligrini as at Saenz-Pena—the adherents of the ex-president have organized, armed and equipped the national guards of the districts of San Luis, Santi go and Cordoba. The important province fEntre Rios,having 3u0,000 inhabitants i* sending several battalions of its national gnard to the support of l'elligrini and he soon hopes to be at the head of an army large enough to subdue the rebels. In addition to being willing to support him, the friends of Pelligrini have money, which, it is believed, will be freely placed at his disposal. This will be an important factor in deciding which side will come out on top.

Late in the day dispatches were received here which showed that the situation is growing more serious every hour. Tile rebels are pressing Santa Fe, on the east bank of the Rio Salado and five miles from liajada de Santa Fe, capital of Entre Rios. The populatirn of Santa Fe is about 12,000, and it has an extensive trade with the interior. In this province and capital the nat onal guards have been called to arms, and large bodies of these troops will be sent to the front as soon as they are armed and equipped. The Argentine army only consists of about 7, 00 men. but the national guards number 350,000 men in all. If necessary, every man the government can muster will be placed under arms and sent to the front. The rebels, however, insist that the president and his supporters can only count upon the loyalty of a portion of the national guard.

It is said that it was not Gen. Alem who was murdered at Santa Fe, but Dr. Alem. the leader of the radical party. If this is the case the murder will cause still more bitterness and bloodshed, for the radicals are certain to do their utmost to avenge his death. By order of the government all the radical clubs were closcd and Dr. Alem and his principul adherents were shadowed by the police. Other radical leaders were handcuffed on board the "iirships. where thoy are now held in c) jse confinement.

when

they made an :irre:it which they claimed would resu t. in unfolding a series of crimes similar to those of Deeming, the A^glo-Australian wife murderer, for the body of one of the prisoner's victims has been found, in dune last, it appe rs, Hendrick Dejong, a Hollander, married in England a young Engl sh girl named Sarah .iewett and they si«d their honeymoon here. Soon after arriving hero Mrs. Dejong disappeared. Dejong, a 6hort time later, mariied the pretty daughter of a local innkeeper. She also disappeared some time after the marriage. An investigation followed, which led to the arrest of Dejong.

To-day the body of Miss .Iewett Dejong's English wife, was found in Wolfhezen wood, neai Arnliem, on the Rhine, forty miles from this city. There seems no doubt that the poof girl has been murdered and her husband is believed to be the murderer. The police of this country have renewed their exertions to get to tho bottom of the Dejong mystery, and hope soon to find the bady of the innkeeper's daughter, for nobody doubts that the latter has also been put out of the way. These facts have been cabled to the English police and it ia believed that Dejong'i victims are numerous and to be found on bo^i Bides of the channel.
