UmpireGoldsmith. The Louisville Club for Sale. Louisville, May 9. President Davidson, of the Louisville Base-ball Club, last night announced that the club is on the market, and unless disposed of in a few days bo will disband and sell the players. He is disgusted. Base-Ball Notes. Sowdcrs of the Bostons is not doing very well. i Leon Viau was fined $100 a few days ago for drinking two glasses of beer. The Cleveland club has bought Hanrahan, the clever short-stop of the Minneap polisclub, for $1,000. Clarkson's pitching so far leads Murnane to aay that Keefe's record of last season is in danger of being beaten. Keefo won nineteen straight games. President Spalding is quoted as declaring that if the Brotherhood resists the classification scheme every member of the organization will be expelled from the League. Fessenden, the new League umpire, did not give satisfaction at Philadelphia. He seems to be imoartial, but his judgment on balls and strikes is very bad. He is n homo umpire, and his outlook is not promising, the Philadelphia people think. New York Press: The experience of the New York nine with the Philadelphias will undoubtedly lead to the placing of Keefe in the field at a very early day. President Hay may as well know iirst as last that Crane, Titcomb and George cannot make up for the Cambridge star twirler. If he wants a championship he will have to pay Keefe his price. His club won at homo simply because it played at home. Bakely, who is pitching such good ball for the Cleveland club, is a Philadelphian and a protege of a policeman, who brought him over to the Athletic grounds, wherehe was given a trial. His work was so good thathewas signed. At that time he was out at toes and knee, and presented a dilapidated appearance. He was taken to a tailor and clothed in a gorgeous manner, and accompanied the team on its trip next day. Ease and money made him lazy, and also brought on other habits that made him unserviceable. Ho seems to be taking better care of himself this year. As things look now this will be the most successful year for tne sport in the history of the game. Every littlo town iu New England has its base-ball nino, and the rivalry created is something remarkable. In and around Boston, it is said, are many amateur teams fit to cope with tho League clabs. Down through Maine the base-ball fever is raging. Augusta. Bath. Lewiston, Gardiner. Skowhegau, Waterville, Bangor and Portlr.nd will put strong teams in the field, and beforo tho summer closes many of the best Massachusetts amateurs will journey; down among tke pines iu quest of victories. Chicago Sporting Times: If he has not already done so. President Young will have to give a judicial interpretation of two opparently conflicting rules that appear in the new code, and concerning which there was an argument at Indianapolis last week. The question involved is: At what time may the extra man provided by Bulo 28 be substituted? The second section of the said Tule says that 'an extra player may bo substituted at the end of any completed inning." One would naturally supEose that this meant after both sides had een at bat and had been retired an equal number of times. But KuleC5 defines 'an inning" as "the term of bat of the nine f layers representing a club in a game." At ndianapoiis umpire Barnum decided a point at issue according to tho natural interpretation of Utile 2S, but when his attention was called to rule 65 he reversed his judgment. THE KENTUCKY DERBY.

.Spokane, a Montana Horse, Carries Off the Honors and Lowers the Itecord. Louisville, May 0. The spring meeting of the Louisville Jockey Club opened today. Tho judges were if. Lewis Clark, T. J. Megibbeu, Gen. J. F. Kobinson; timers, Major B. G. Thomas, John Funk and W. S. Barnes; starter, James B. Ferguson. The weather was very fine and the largest crowd ever known was present, being variously estimated from 15,000 to 25,000. Tho stand was overflowing, and every available space was full, while the field was blocked with struggling humanity. The track was in good condition, well sprinkled, hard and safe through two inches of dust, and a little fast. Montana answers to California in the result of the day. AU elso is eclipsed in the Kentucky Derby. It has been iu sight aud heart for weeks. A great race was expected, aud 'the expectation did not rise to the reality. As three years ago Haggin brought IJen All out of tho West to lower the Kentucky Derby record to 2:C1 1-2, so Armstrong came to-day with Spokane, aud two seconds more disappeared. A little crowd of far-West turfmen were present, and with little ado they went about backing their favorite. Armstrong, a' year ago, said he was going to take this, the highest honor of the We6t. There wero not enough coast people lo overcome tho immense enthusiasm which backed tho home horse. Proctor Knott, and the betting was nearly all ouo way. The first pool sold this morning was SlWfor Knott, and 111 for the field, and while much better than this was done, both In the books aud especially in private bets, this shows the strength of tho sentiment. All bets against Knott wero snapped, and tho only reason Keutucky is not broke tonight is the lack of men from the West to take their otters. As tho horses riled up the track for tho great event all appeared in perfect condition. The game chicken on tho greafrfuturity winner was cheered to the echo as ho came out sixth, and Young's entries, who' followed, were lost in the ap-. plause. Spokane was hardly noticed, though a quiet tip was out among the knowing that he had been saved for tho occasion. Facing the post tho starters were: Sportsman, Spokane, Proctor Knott, Once Again, Bookmaker,' Cassias, Outbound, Hindoo Craft. Summary: KenDerby, one and one-half mile; three-year olds, $1,000 entrance; f 2.500 added. The race was run out of the chute, Ferguson had little difficulty in getting them ofT together, and the start was very even. Hindoo Craft was in front. Bookmaker second and Spokane third. On the way down to the stand Names GUve Proctor Knott his head, and tho great gelding bounded forward liko a Hash, passing tbo stand five lengths in the lead, with Hindoo Craft second aud Spokane third. Young's p.iir being close behind. All the way round to the head f tho Btrctch the positions wera littlo changed, though the crowd was closing up on Knott) who was evidently waitiog .'or

the finish. As they turned around tho stretch the race commenced, and seldom was such a rnn witnessed in America. Knott was let out, but Spokane came up with a tremendous rush. Half way down the stretch Knott swerved, and bnokaue forged to the front by two leugtbs. Barnes wheeled the favorite into line just as they reached the distance stand, and became up like a bolt. It was too late, however, and Spokane passed under the wire winner by a nose, with Once Again third, and three lengths behind. The test were strung out. Time, 2:&4 1-2. Snokano is owned by Noah Armstrong, of Helena, M. T., where he was bred. Ho wintered at Memphis. The race was worth 4.850 to the winner. r Tho first race of the day was a fivo-eighths-mile dash formaiden two-year-olds, for a purse of $400. Nevin got away lirst. In the stretch Swifter came up with a rush, and won by a length; PiukioT. second, Morse think lime, 1:04 S-4. Second Kace One ami one-sixteenth mile; all ages; purse 400. Como-to-Taw led from start to iini.sh. Coming down the stretch Badge made a dash and was second, and only a nose ahead of Lavinirt. Time, 1:51 1-2. The third raco was the Derby. Fourth Kace Selling; all ages. Frank Fehr City Brewery purse, $500; 100 to second, $50 to third; three-fourths mile heats. Tho first heat resulted: Bravo first, Tudor second, Macauley third and Weeks aiid Vanguard distanced; time, 1:17. Second heat: Bravo first, Prather second, Macauley third; time, l:lGS-4. it is the general comment to-night that the Derby run to-day was tho greatest on record. No better bred horses everstarted. Milton Young fully expected to win with one of hisenteries, and backed them heavily, as also did Barnes. A big sum changed bands on the result. The quarters in tho Derby wero run as follows; First, s2i 1-2; half, :481-2; three-quarters, 1:141-2; mile, 1:411-2; mile and a quarter, 2:00. The Nashville Kaces. NASnviLLr, Tenn., May 9. The largest crowd of tho meeting since the first day attended West-side Park to-day. Tho track was dusty and the weather warm. Tho sensation of the day was tho jockeying of Terra Cotta by McLaughlin, but though he was ruled off, tho general sentiment is that it was an error of judgment on his part, rather than an attempt at intentional fraud. First Raco Selling; seven furlongs. Deer Lodge went to the front at tho half, and kept tho lead, winning in a driving finish by a short head from Thomas J. Husk, who was threo lengths in front of Eva Wise, third. Time. 1:30. Second Race One mile, After some delay in getting oft, Galen got in the lead and kept it until the turn was reached, when he gave up, Angelus taking the lead, closely followed by her stablo mate, J. T. Tho former finished first, a neck in front of J. T.. second, who was a length and a half in front of Gardner, third. Time, 1:43 1-2. Third Raco Five furlongs. Heartsease took the lead at the upper turn, and was never headed, winning by half a length from Cecil B., second, who was two lengths in front of Mary J., third. Time, 1:00: Fourth Race Rock City handicap; one mile aud a sixteenth. Hamlet was oil first, but CJnra C. was in front on passing the stand. She kept in the lead all the way around, and won by a neck fpoiu Santalene, Terra Cotta being threo lengths away. McLaughlin rode liko a demon down tho stretch, and could have won on Terra Cotta easily, but thinking Leavey could win on Santalene, he pulled Terra Cotta, almost double, but Leavy failed to come to the front, and Clara C. took the race. Tho crowd set up a yell of foul, and after somedelay tho iudges gave the purse to Clara C, but ruled jockey McLaughlin and Terra Cotta oft tho track, and declared all bets ofT, reserving their decision (as to the placo horses. Time, 1:481-4. Fifth Raco Soiling; eleven-sixteenths of a mile. Golightly took the lead at the start and was never headed, winning by a short length from Red Leaf, with Montpelier third. Time, 1:10 1-4. Coming Kace of Oarsmen. Salt Lake, May 9. Oarsmen O'Connor, Lee, Gaudaur, Hamm and Peterson will row on the great Salt Lake on the 2d of June a eingle-scull race, three miles, with turn, for a $1,500 purse, to bo divided as follows: Eight hundred dollars to the winner, $400 to tho second, $200 to tho third and 8100 to the fourth. A San Francisco man otters a 550 purse to tho man who breaks tho world's record.

Cruel Treatment of Incurabto Patients. Chicago, May 0. The taking of depositions in tho suit brought against the management of the Home for Incurables was begun to-day under an order of the court. The depositions of a numb or of inmates of the institution were taken. They were 2 generally of a tenor to sustain the allega'.$ion in tho complaint filed in conrt a couple of days ago by certain ladies, who averred that they wero unable to right the wrongs being done in any other way than by an appeal to the law. Tho unfortunates were very loath to testify, a number of them declaring that they would be made to sutler for it. Their stories were pitiful ones, and told of neglect and harsh and cruel treatment from tho matron and attendants.. Two of tho patients testified that on the morning before tho night that James Botton died they heard a conversation between Mrs. Barlow, the matron, audau attendant named Tuxford. The conversation was relative to a proposition made by Tuxford to tie Botton's hands. Mrs. Barlow agreed to the proposition, the witness said, and the next morning Botton was found dead in bed with his hands tied and his face and eyes blackened from the attendant's blows. Others testified that a paralytic was forced to walk without shoes or stockings through the snow from one building to another; that a patient snflering from chronic dyspesia was not allowed to have the food prescribed by a physician and nearly starved to death; that another patient, suffering from a spinal atlliction, was forced to sit in a stiff, straight-backod chair, causing him intense suflcring. and generally that patients were treated to abuse arid cruelty. Dr. Croniu an Eccentric Man. x Ciiicac.0, May 0. John Fitzgerald, president of tho Irish National League, arrived in this city last- night. "The disappearance of Dr. Croniu is not so very mysterious to me," ho said. 'I would not ho surprised to learn that ho was building up a new practice in some far-away town. His love for notoriety, 1 believe, has conquered him. The stories that his enemies in the Land League have disposed of him, because he was aware of certain questionable dealings regarding fnnds collected to send to Ireland, is not only absurd, but wicked. Ho never collected any money for tho league, nor was he aware of the dealings of those who did." 'How do you account for the story, then?" "All on account of the jealousy existing among the league members in Chicago. The night of Cronin's disappearance his friends were too excited tct consider the Doctor's eccentricities. They thought of nothing but his enemies, and their jealous disposition asserted itself by hinting that their enemies were to blame for Cronin's disappearance. I think he is alive and kicking." Kentucky Democrats. Louisville, May 0. A Democratic State convention met hero at noon, yesterday, to nominate a candidate for State Treasurer, to bo elected in August. Notablo men present were Senator Blackburn, Congressmen McCreary, Stone, Cariith and Montgomery and Congressman-elect T. H. Paynter. Congressman McCreary was made temporary and Congressman Stone permanent chairman. Without opposition. State Treasurer Stephen O. Sharp, who. was appointed to succeed the fugitive Tate, was nominated. Speeches were made while resolutions were being prepared. Among the speakers was Senator Blackburn, who aroused great enthusiasm by his treatment of national topics. Tho majority report on resolutions indorsed the national platforms of 1884 and 1SSS, and especial reference was made to the staud taken on the taritF. A minority report indorsed previous national Democratic platforms generally, and purposely avoided reference to the tariff. The majority report was adopted by an almost unanimous vote. Alleged Shortage of a Financial Secretary. New York, May 0. Theodore Wildman. who was secretary of Typographical Union No. d from 18S4 to 1SS3, is said, bv an expert who has examined tho books, tone between 0,000 and $7,000 short in Ids acconnts with the union.

WASHINGTON'S 3IOTUEII.

Her Grave In the Hands of Strangers Some Ileminicences of Her Character. Fredericksburg (Va.) Letter. 'Do you know who owned the property originally m which the grave of asiiin Ston's mother was located?" I do not, but presume it was then a farm 6pot belonging to one of her kindred. Lnless something is speedily done there is no telling what will become of the site. You see at tho time of her death it was customary iu Virginia, and it is still kept np m 6ome parts of the State, to bury on farms near the place of death. Frekcricksburg was then a great commercial port, and Washington's mother preferred to live there even after ho had become a wealthy and prosperous man. He had been inaugurated but four months before she died, which was early in September, 175$. From that time until the close of his presidential career he was absent from Mount Vernon most of the time, and if he ever had any intention of removing her remains thither it is not of record so far as I knows The fact remains that her grave is still at Fredericksburg, partially marked by a monument, but upon a piece of land that is subject to be sold to the highest bidder at any time. I do not beliove the people of the United States know tho facts, or another year would not pass without steps being taken to rescue this sacred spot from the hands of speculators." "What is known of tho history of Washington's mother?" "Comparatively verv little. She was the daughter of Joseph Ball by his second wife. Sho married Augustine Washington, a gentlemen of high standing, noble character, large property and considerable personal attractions, being of fair complexion, tall statue, commanding presence and at that tune thirtv-six vears old. She was twentysix. In those days early marriages were common, but the conduct of Mary Ball in this important matter of a woman's life was only an evidence of the consummate wisdom, calm equipoiso of soul and perfect self-control so strikingly displayed throughout her subsequent career. At the age of thirty-nine she wns a widow with live children under eleven years of age, of whom George was the eldest. Tho homo in Westmoreland county appears to have been destroyed by fire not long after their marriage, and they moved to a place opposite in Fredericksburg. At that time tho town was the most prosperous of any in that part of Virginia. The old homestead of Washington's mother is still in fair preservation in Fredericksburg. It Is a low, humble frame building, not bevond repair, and ought to belong to tho Nation. "The only memoir we have of this sterling woman, and most fortunate of mothers, is one now out of print, from the pen of the venerable George Washington Parke Custis, himself so long an objectof affectionate interest to the American people, as the last lingering survivor of tho Mount Vernon fireside. From his noble and graceful tribute, not having a copy of the work accessible. I can quote only from memory and from some fragmentary jottings made long since for another occasion. His biography of her opens with thesa words: 'Of that distinguished woman whose peculiar cast of character, whoso precepts and discipline in the education of her illustrious son, himself acknowledged to have been the foundation of his fortune and his fame, I scarcely know how to 6peak. It was said by the ancients that tho mother always gave the tono to the character of the child, and we may be permitted to say that, since tho days of antiquity, a mother has not lived better fitted to give the tono and character of real greatness to her child than her whose life and actions this reminiscence will endeavor to illustrate.'". "Aio there not reminiscences of her lifo which are familiar to you?" 'l regret to say that I know but few. A great aunt of my wife was present at the celebrated ball given in Fredericksburg after tho surrender of Cornwallia. She was well known in that town and Vicinity as Aunt M . She was a perfect mine of reminiscences concerning the life of Washington's mother, but she died without leaving any record of her knowledge of events. "She was a daughter of Dr. CharlesMortimer, a native of England, but at this time a citizen of Fredericksburg, tho neighbor, friend and family physician of Mrs. Washington, on whom, whethor she was sick or well and he himself disengaged or busy, it was the rule pf life, to call every day to see that she wanted nothing. Occasionally these visits 'were returned, but never on foot. . Her sizo at this period of her life and the increasing infirmities of age making walking irksome, she always came in her little phaeton, driven by old Stephen. On these occasions she was clad, in Auut M 's words, in a 'yellow short gown. 'A yellow short gown! Aunt M V her little auditors would exclaim with uproarious peals of laughter. Yeg, my dears, you - must -' remember these were war times, when everything was scarce, and the very best people dressed poorly enough. 1 was only thirteen years old, and it's been nearly seventy years since. But I remember her looks as well as if I had 6een her yesterday.' "Tho 'Yorfetown ball' is still told in tradition as well as history. On their return march from the capture of Cornwallis a brilliant galaxy of French and Continental officers paused for a few days to enjoy the far-famed hospitalities of Freder-" icksburg. In their honor the old town outdid herself. All was revelry. A snlendld ball was given, to which Mrs. Washington, then close on to her eightieth year, was specially invited. To gratify her sou, and to do renown to the great occasion, she accepted and entered the hall leaning uon his arm. All eyes were turned upon them those of tho old denizens of Fredericksburg with affectionate and familiar reverence, those of the titled and courtly foreigners with amazement and incredulity. That Mrs. Washington! The mother of the chieftain whose renown tilled two hemispheres! No diamonds! no lace! no feathers! novelvet! no brocade! Only an unadorned robe of some home-made material, spotless, but severely plain. "Simple in garb, majestic' and serene, (as Mrs. Sigourney has it), she stood tho cynosure of that brilliant assemblagel' Mon Dien!' was t the comment that passed among tho foreign guests, 'if such be the matrons of America, no wonder she has illustrious sons!' "The first shockof wonderment over, the chivalrous Gauls crowded around her to pay attentions that were tilmost reverential in their character, until, at an early hour, she took her dignified and courteous leave. "At this ball, as I have already said, a great aunt of my wife was present. "In tho autumn of 1784, Lafayette again, and for the last time, saw her, having made the journey from Philadelphia tolredericksburg lor the especial purpose of paying to the venerated lady his parting respects before his return to France. This time he found her in the garden, clad in homespun, with a hat of straw, engaged in tending her flowers with her own hands. On bidding her farewell he asked and received her blessing, aud afterwards remarked to a friend that in her case only did the Roman matron flourish in our modern day." Wishes to Kick In a Rigbteons Cause. Cbicaffo Herald. "There Js a man iu town hero whom I would very much like to lick," said a railroad official yesterday. "I never saw him, and 1 do not Icnow his fighting weight, but I am confident, from what I know of his record, that I can get away with him. About a week or so ago we needed a typewriter operator in our oihee. I looked in the Herald, aud found the advertisement of an agency which agrees to furnish expert type-writers, so I telephoned this agency lor ajgood one. In about an hour she arrived at. the office, a very bright, pretty littlo girl, who could play the commercial piano to perfection, and was well up in the pot-hooks of stenography. We gave her a trial, and engaged her at once at a good salary. The other day fihe happened to tell me sho was obliged to nay the man who runs the typewriting agency one-half of her lirst month's salary. 1 would not object to a reasonable commission or fee, but one-half of a full month's salary is too much. I told her that if she ever paid a cent of it sho must consider herself discharged, and I told her we would protect her if the fellow attempted to collect it. Then I called bun up on tho telephone, and told him just what 1 thought of him. If ho ever has the nerve to come around after any part of that girl's salary, I'll have to take a kick at him, even if I get the worst of it" Standing on Iler Dignity. ChtctKo Tribune.

TELEPHONE 8&4. THE SWEETEST AND OUH INFLUENCE IN ASIA. Americans Who Are Prominent in Japan, Corca, Siam and China. Forelen Letter. Jntheedncation.il tranches of tho Japanese kingdom, Americans hold high rank. There are not so many connected with the Imperial University ns there were a few years ago, owing to the principle adopted by tho Japanese of not allowing foreigners to do for tliem anything that they can get or teach the Japanese to do. Still Professor Tenalossa, of Salem, Mass., is now the great art critic of Japan, and he is. I am told, to have the charge of the old art works of tho empire, which, largely thron gh his efforts, are now being collected br the government and preserved. Professor Fenalossa looks upon Japanese art as the great art development of tne world, and he says that Europeans and Americans have as much to learn in art from Japan as Jnpau can learn irom them, lie has maue a studv of Japanese art since he came to Japan, a decade ago, to take a place in the university, and he is an enthusiast upon the subject During my stay in Japan, ho was traveling over the empire in company with our late Japanese minister, Mr. Kuki. collecting the art works about Kioto, and having some of the most noted of these photof raphed by the court photographers. Mr. 'enalossa is married, aud his wife, a New Entrland lady, is one of the court circle of Tokia. The head of the Agricultural College of Japan is an Americau, who is also married, and who has a family here with him. Professor Georgeson was connected with several of the leading agricultural colleges of the United States before he came to Japan. There are a large number of American missionaries in Japan. These have their homes all over the country, and - there are extensive settlements in the larger cities. Liko all foreigners in the empire tho missionaries have large houses and very comfortable homes, and were I going to choose a country iu which to do missionary work I would pick out Japan. Tho people here are more clean and friendly than the Chinese, and they are as far above these heathens of Siam as we are above the Indians of our Western plains. The field is a good one, for three-fourths of the Japanese are infidels and the other fourth does not more than half believe in the lluddhist religion. Our missionaries are, I am told, doing good work, and they have churches aud schools everywhere. Dr. Hepburn, tho author of tho only English-Japanese dictionaries an American, and now, in his seventies, he prefers to live in Japan. Ho has been hero a lifetime, and he now acts as tho president of a missionary college at Tokio. There is an American physician in Yokohama and there are two in Tokio. Two of the brightest Americans in Tokio have married Japanese ladies. Ono of these is Mr. Dunn, a bright, fair-complexioned, young man connected with our embassv to the court of Japan, and the other is Lieutenant Foulke, who was for a tim e connected with the American legation at Corea, and who is said to be one of the best posted among tho foreigners on the Corean language, literature and customs. Mr. Dunn is a relative of Senator Thurman. As to American merchants, there are a number in Asia, though not 60 many, perhaps, as there were ten years ago. It is a surprise to travelers tohnd that Americans abroad are, in nearly all cases, col lego-bred men, and that their contact with the society of the East has rather polished them than anything else. The socioty of Asia, as far as the foreigners are concerned, is as good as you will tind anywhere, and the several capitals have a coterie of as eletrant neoplo as you will see in Now York or Washington. In Corea there is a very pleasant foreign colony, consisting of the foreign ministers aud consuls, tho employes under tho King, and the missionaries. They have their social dinners, their literary and musical clubs, and their lawn-tennis ground. They have comfortable homes, furnished in American stylo, and the latest of the magazines and papers are sent to thom by fortnightly mails from America. The head of the King's school is lrofJ8sor Hunker, an American, who graduated at Oberlin College not many years ago, and his wife, who came out here as a medical missionary, is physician to the Queen, aud is very popular at court. There are missionaries scattered all over China. I met, at Canton a Mr. Fnlton, of Ashland, O., who was broken in health, and was about to go home for a vacation. He had been working in the interior of China, and his sister, who was a doctor, was with him. They had under them a young Chinese medical student, and this young Celestial had, in some way, gotten hold of a skeleton, which he.hiuin his tooui. Mrs. Fulton, find ins soap scarce, had made a barrel of soft soap, and this was standing outside the house. At this timo thecrj was raised that the missionaries wero killing Chinamen, and were using their bodies to make medicine. TJiey mobbed the missionary's house, and when they found the skeleton and this soft soan they looked upon these as prima facie evidence of the crime. There is no soft oap in China, and they know nothing of dissection or of study of anatomy by skeleton. The result was that they burned down tho house, and the missionary and his family narrowly escaped with their lives. Speaking of bright American girls, a grad

One of the leading plrysiciaus of the great missionary hospital of Canton. China, is Miss Dr. Niles, the sister of one of the editors of the Omaha llee, and there is a lady, now married and living at Tientsin, who came out here as a medical missionary, aud who. when Li Hung Chang's wife wa-t in danger of dying, performed what was thought by the Chinese an almost miraculous cure. A brother of the great preacher, Dr.T. DeWitt Talmage, of Brooklyn, has been forty years a missionary at Amoy, China, and his grayhaired wife and young daughter still assist him in his work. a A DISGUSTED PCJCTOn. lie la Called to Treat a CftM of Poisoning and Finds It Too Easy. New York World. A middle-aged man, named James Hanson, entered the Hoboken police-station at 12 o'clock yesterday morning and begged that a physician be sent to his residence. No. 11 Madison street Ho said that his wife had taken Hough on Ilata, and that she was dying in great agony. The sergeant in charge 6ent for city physician Simon, who at once went with llannon where ths supposed dying woman was. The doctoi found the woman in bed, suffering apparently from convulsions. He timed her .pulse and found it beating regularly. He then looked for the "poison" and found a package of tooth-powder. Near by was a class containing part of the mixture. Ho camo to the conclusion that the pretty, fair-haired woman was feigning, and in a stern voice exclaimed: "This stomach-pump is useless in such a serious case as this. I'll have to cut her open!" The Doctor had hardly spoken the lat word when Mrs. Hannon sat up in the bed and excitedly shouted: "My Cod, Doctor, don't do that. I have not taken poison at all. I only took toothpowder and water, and I did it to frighten my husband, who was jealous and neglecting me." The husband wiped away his tears, and took his wife iu his arms aud kissed her. while Dr. Simon left, thoroughly weary of his early morning's work. Wouldn't Say Dearest. Boston Letter in Chicago Tribune. The envious, whose howls are always elicited bv other people's success, assert that Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is affected. It is qnite true that fcho has her oddities. A lady here in Boston tells of an occasion when she chanced to occupy rooms at a hotel it was several years ago immediately adjoining others tenanted by Mrs. Burnett aud her family. She had scarcely taken possession of her apartment when she heard a scampering of small feet through the partition wall, and then came a child's cry of "Mamma Mamma!" Whereupon ensued a series of audible Slaps and squeals, and tinally a woman's angry voice, Baying: "How often 6hall I have to tell you to call mo 'dearest,' and not 'mam mar " " The humor of this lies in tho fact that, according to Mrs. Burnett's account, n often repeated to her friends, the boys fell of their ownf accord into a prettv way of calling theirinother by their father's pet name ior her. It will bo remembered that Little Lord Fauntleroy himself copied, so Mrs. Burnett says, after her son ivian does likewise. One cannot help wondering if the youthful nobleman of the romance was likewise spanked into calling his mamma "dearest." What More Do They Want? Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. What a wife inherits or accumulates U her own and likewiso a third of her husband's property, and she can sue and b sued, owe and bo owed, make contracts, run banks, practice law and medicine, run railroads, be a stockbroker or a clergyman, and in fact do anything that a mere man can do except marry somebody handsomer than herself or vote at a presidential or other purely political election, sit on a jury or go lor a soldier.

A railroad man of Ashland, Wis., has perfected an electrical invention which rings a bell in a hotel otlice and registers the room number when some verdant person blows out tho gas. It is very simple, and can be attached to a regular liotcl annunciator at a small cost. Chicago lorkera In Danger. Washington Pott. It is sincerely to be hoped that Chicago's famous lake breeze will not set in until that Carter divorce case is out of the way. It would be in the nature of a national calamity if any of the bacilli that infest that case should be blown over into the pens at tho hog-yards. A Satisfactory Explanation. Baltimore American.
