BOLD ROBBERY IN NEW YORK

Woman Assaulted in a Carriage and Her Ear-Kings Torn from Their l'lace. Her Diamonds and Jewelry Stolen The Cabman in League with the Thief The Woman's Account of the Outrage. New York, March 0. Among tho many passengers who came over lrom Jersey City on the 7:10 ferry-boat, Pavonia, last evening, was a handsome woman, apparently about thirty years of age. As she sat in tho ladies' cabin tho attention of the other passengers was attracted by the richness of her attire and by the fact that she was traveling alone. Tho lady wore large diamonds in her ears, and as she took off her glove several unusually brilliant gems were displayed upon tho fingers of her right hand. When tho boat landed at the foot of Cortlandt street the traveler stood upon tho street for a few moments as if nndecided what to do. Approaching tho driver of a cab she inquired how much it would cost to take her to Fifth avenue and Forty-first street. 'I'll take you up for $2," replied the cabman. The lady drew out a well-filled purso and paid him tho amount asked. The driver was a well-built man with a red mustache. He wore a black slouch hat. and a hcay overcoat. Nobody around the ferry seeems to have noticed the number ou his cab. A policeman stationed there remembered that the man drove a bay horso and that the cab was apparently a new one. Just as the call was driving oil' up West street a roan who had been lounging around the ferry-house jumped upon tho seat with the driver. The evening was dark, nnd, being Saturday, there . was less t than the usual number of wagons passing through the West-side streets. At 10 o'clock last night the attention of detective Jacobs, of the Hofiman House, was attracted to a woman who was walkiug on Twenty-fourth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. Her handsome dress was torn and the train dragged along the sidewalk, her eyes were swollen with weepiug and there was blood upon her face and hands. She seemed to bo in a dazed condition and her left ear was torn and the diamond ear-ring that had been in it was missing. "Oh, save me from those men!" she exclaimed when tho detective stopped and spoke to her. Seeing that she was a lady in distress, detective Jacobs conducted her to the hotel and placed her in one of the ladies parlors. Although nervous and frightened the lady soon recovered sumciently to narrate a startling story of assault and robbery. She was the fair passenger who had landed from the ferry-boat a few hours earlier in the evening, lhe lady said that she was Mrs. Edward M. Jordan, of Philadelphia. Her husband is connected with a largo platoglass manufacturing company in that city, and had gone to Boston a week ago on business. "He telegraphed me to come to Boston," said Mrs. Jordan, as he found that he would have to remain in that city a longer time than he expected. It was my intention to stop over night in New York, with friends who live on Ffth avenue, near Forty-first street. I did not know that tho elevated railroad ran near their ' residence. 60 I engaged a cabman to drive mo up town. While we were driving through Christopher street I remember the name, because I noticed it on a street-lamp as we went along the cab suddeuly stopped, and a man opened the door and jumped in. Uive me that pocket-book,' he said, and he snatched for my purse, i screamed and struggled, but he placed his hand over my mouth and stilled mi' cries. Then . ho pulled out one of my ear-rings and I fainted with pain. I remember the driver opening the door and pushing me out into a dark street, and then driving rapidly away. I walked up as far as Twenty-fourth street, hardly knowing where I was going, but striving to find tho residence of my friends." She furnished the address of her friends, which she requested him not to make public as she did not wish to bring them into auy notoriety. The detective conducted her to their home. Mrs. Jordan will leave this morning for Boston, but her friends do not intend to let the matter drop with her departure. Murderer's Desperate Fight. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal.

GKIEVASCS OF A WIFE. Novel and Varied Allegations Against a Prominent Chicago Board of Trade 3Ian. CniCAOO, March 29. Ross Peters, one of tho most prominent men on tho Chicago Board of Trade, a partner of the late J. T. Lester, was served with divorce papers of an extraordinary sort yesterday by his wife, wno, as Miss Clarion E. Howard, of Brooklyn, wedded Peters a couple of years ago. The wedding was a faultlessly stylish affair and seemed particularly charming by reason of the fact that both parties were young, handsome and very wealthy. Mrs. Petera's attorney is W. A. Foster, one of the lawyers in the Anarchist . and Cronln cases. Her bill charges that Peters is so engrossed with club life that he has no time or inclination to attend the demands of home. From the time the couple commenced house-keeping, a few weeks after their marriage, Mr. Peters, his wife says, has heen making her life miserable, and for many months has been coming home nightly from 12 to S a. m. in a cab iutoxicated. Ho awakes some time before noon and wants the morning paper at once, and helnsoften pushed his wife ont of bed and compelled her. to bring him his favorite journal. Mrs. Petersisvery fond of amusement particularly theaters, but Mr. Peters, she sajs, goes to the play house aloiie, refusing to take her along. The last time he accompanied her anywhere was to tbe doc show, a year ago. Mrs. Peters's parents, she says, gave her ahree-thousand-dollar trousseau, the principal dress costing 10 a yard at wholesale in New York, but Mr. Peters continually avers that tbe costume was illycontrived, mean and penurious, and her parents should have been ashamed of it During their entire married life, it is said. Peters did not give her over one hundred and fifty dollars' worth of apparel. Mrs. Peters says her husband criticises her manner of eating, saying she devours her food like a "hog," and that her voice is 'disagreeable," "coarse' aud "vulgar." The bill concludes with a statementtbat though Peters has failed to furnish bis wife with clothing, and viciously curses at the bills of the household, he is a constant patron of the most expensive tailors in America.

Not Much Faith In the Energy of Men Hired by the Day. Cincinnati Times-Star. . P. D. 6tagg, a philosopher of southern Indiana, hasn't much faith in the energy of workmen who are hired by the day. He used to illustrate his theory very amusingly, as follows: "I hired a lot of men to dig post-holes on my farm, and separated tbem into two crews, promising to pay the first crew by the day and the others bo mnch per .hole. Well, they set to work, aud alter awhile I sneaked out to'see how they were getting along, keeping ray presence in the vicinity unknown to them. The fellows who were getting paid by the day were bringing their spades 8 down upon tho gronnd in the following style: Bj' the job-b-b (pause), by the job-b-b (pause), by the job job job-b-b! (rest, and conversation.)' Then I watched the fellows that they were going to be paid a stipulated amount for each bole, and their spades were working in this style: 4By tho job. by the job. by tbe job, job, job, job! By the job, by tho job, by the job, job job!' and 60 on. No pauses, rests or conversation. Mr. Stagg's quaint manner of reciting this storv added a liavor that cannot be imparted in nriut The drawling, longmeter tone in which he chanted the "Bv the job" of the day workmen, and the lightning-like rapidity with which he rattled off the "By tbe job" of the "piece" men aided strikiugly in his illustration. Water from the Jordan. The Independent. "A patriotic Chicago man now living in England." says the New York Tribune, "has sent for a bottle of Chicago-river water to be used in babtizing his infant son." There is more patriotism than sense in such an act. The custom beginning to Erevail among ministers who travel in the ast, of bringing home a bottle of water from the Jordan to be used iu the sacrament of baptism, is tot much less foolish. It smacks of superstitiou and betrays weak-

THE LOVE EXSTENXT E! CHILDREN.

MUi Harrison Tells How It Should Be Trained Talk to Mothers. Chicago Trihnne. Miss Elizabeth Harrison talked on tho "Love Instinct in the Child" beforo the mothers' class at the Art Institute yesterday morning. "Tho first time the baby smiles at its mother shows the awakening of the soul, the instinct of love which the Creator implanted." she said. "We should learn to train this instinct, than which none is more important, from tho beginning. The child must Jove; it may love what you and 1 would timi from in disgust I do not doubt the statemeut of a celebrated physician that many infants in f oundlings'homes die from lack of love they are treated there like little machines. "If you don't train this instinct properly the child will do wrong. Here is a fundamental principle: Love is to be tested by its etlect upon the will. While 99 per cent of grown people are selfish and unloving, all little children are naturally loving and unselfish. They can be easily trained. .Selfishness lies at the root of all the worst evils of human life. One of the most significant figures in Shakspeare is King Lear, tbe rich, powerful, loving, and indulgent father, who comes to great grief because of his child's ingratitude. And so do other good parents who do not understand how to train this love iustinct of the child into tho unselfish and self-sacrificing kind. 'There are two kinds of love or, rather, two tendencies of the instinct. The first is that which expresses itself in a mere kiss or caress, or a word, of endearment, without any special sacrifice; tbe second, that wbich includes a sacrifice. While your child is in a loving mood ask it to do some little thing for you. You of ten see a child throw its arms around the mother's neck, and fifteen minutes later do something that it knows will pain tbe parent. Character building is the same as muscular building it is gradual, and must begin early. : )T will give you an incident which camo within my observation showing the value aud tho result of this testing of tbe child's love. A mother was shut up in her room with a sick headache Her little boy came in and she told him mother was sick, lie went out of the room and carefully closed the door behind him. A moment later the mother heard the most peculiar bumping and rolling about in the next room. Then all was still. Soou the littlo fellow camo tin-toeing in and laid his hand on his mother s forehead, saying: " Mamma. I fixed up all the chairs and the work-basket Ain't your headache better?" "He wanted to show his love for his mother by doing something to please her. Once, in my kindergarten, a sturdy little Scotch laddie displaced a younger boy in the seat nearest me and stubbornly refused to relinquish it. I asked hi.a why he wanted that seat and he said because he loved me. In all good kindergartens tho children love their teachers. " 'Isn't your love strong enough to stretch across the table?" I asked him. Yes," he replied, and gotuo and went to a seat further away. When I caught his eyes again they wero just gleaming to show that his love was strong enough to stretch across tho table. When an appeal is made to the child aright it will quickly respoud. "When a child offers to do something for yon never refuse the offer. Don't crush down this spiritual love. If the child wants to do something really impossible don't say You'ro not quite big enough; mamma will do it' Substitute another, service. Your little boy cannot dress the baby, but he can hold the pins lor you while ton dress it. Train the ohild to do things that are disagreeable. It is only by self-sacrifice that this spiritual, unselfish love is built up and made strong." OVER A TOWEL. Women Who Shop in Paris and Coniult Together About the Goods. Detroit Free Press. The soul and body of the dry goods clerk waxeth weary when ho sees three women headed for his counter. One isbadenough; two are worse, but three women in counsel over the merits of a bath towel are enough to make a poor, worn-out clerk wish ho might depart from earth by the electricity method. Tt seems like quite a good one for the money, don't it?" says the intending purchaser. "Well, I don't know," says the other, holding the towel up at full length and eyeing it critically. "I got one quite as good for 372 cents at White's. "Yon did!" "Yes; but it was eight or nine weeks ago, and I don't s'pose they've any more like it" "I may be mistaken; but Pve au idea it would shrink," says number three, taking tho towel from number two and wrapping a corner of it over her finger. "See, it's a little thin." "Well, I wouldn mind if it did 6hrink a little, because oh, look at this one! Isn't it lovely!" "Beautiful! How much is it?" "A dollar and a half." "Mercy!. I'd never pay that for a bath towel." "Nor I." Those colors would fade." "Of course they would." "Do you know I like good plain crash as well as anything for towels." "I don't know but see these towels for 15c. I paid 2.o for some, last week, not a bit better." "Let's see; are they full length? Yes. They are cheap. Pve a notion to but I guess 1 won't. I have, so many towels now." "They're a bargain if one really needed them." "How do you like towels used as tidies!" "Horrid!" . 4,I think so. too." ' "So do I ob, let me tell yon, I saw a woman on the street, one day, with an apron made out of a red-and-white fringed towel!" "Mercy!. Looked like fury, didn't it? How was it made?" "Oh, one end was simply gathered! to a band, and there, tho towel was just like this one; and she'd taken it so, and gathered it in so, and really, it didn't Jook so bad. after all." "Do yon suppose the colors would run in this border?" "Well, I hardly know. I had one very -much like it once, and the colors in it ran dreadfully the first time I washed it". "Then I'll not take this, for I why if it isn't 4 o'clock, aud" "Who'd ever have thought" "I must go." "So must I." ' "And I n6, I'll not take the towel today." , MEN WHO WEAR CORSETS. Tho Purchaser of the Article Resorts to De- , ception in Buying. Philadelphia Tress. Tho man who wears corsets to-day usually orders them from the gentleman's furnishing store where he buys his shirts, his suspenders and scarfs and similar articles of dress. How he comes to the determination of . wearing corsets it is pretty difficult to say. He does so probably when he begins to grow so stout that the line of his waist is nearly obliterated and he finds that there is no curve whatever from the point of his arm-pit to the beginning of the hips. The ordinary man usually exhibits a good deal of embarrassment in giving his first order for this new and strange feature in his wardrobe. Indeed, he dreads so mnch the necessity or alleged necessity f,T giving it that in many cases ho buys a large size misses' corset, on the pretense that it is for his daughter who is staying out of town or for some other lady member of his family. He finds, however, that this at lair does not fit, and after all he is come; elled to resort to his habeidasher. Ihen e doesn't come out and say it is for him self. He formulates all mauner of diverting excuses, the chief among which is that lie is troubled with weak muscles, and that his doctor has advised him that a corset is absolutely necessary. The proprietor of the store takes these excuses as a matter of course, and orders the corsets from a regular manufacturer. When the corsets are finally made, they look more than anything else like a largesized belt curved for the hips and are about ten inches wide. The are made of the same material as a woman's corset, but whalebones aro used instead of steel for the purpose of giving shape to them. They are usually laced at the back and aro fastened in front by means of eleven small elastic bands. The-elastic is used so as to give pefect freedom of motion. The corsetwearers pay all the way from $2.50 to 20 a pair for the corsets, and they are very particular, not to say cranky, about tbe ift of them. The men who wear thent are. in me nrsi piace, uie lasnionauie young fellows around town, who am intent on being known for their handsome figures and

who do everything they can to increase tho size of their shoulders and diminish the size of their waists. Ontsnle of these the wearers of them aro military men aud stout men who find themselves growing too corpulent for gracefulness. Actors often wear them, and among the actors who aro addicted to this sort ot thing Kyrle Bellow and Herbert Kelcey aro most frequently quoted. These men, it is said, secure corsets from a theatrical costumer instead of the fashionable furnisbing-goods men. IN A HALL HKDROOM.

Told by a Younel'ellow Who Used to Live In One with Ills Chufcu Buffalo Express. . That nice girl who told about life in a flat last week, did have something to complain of, but. I who have seen a litioof high Jife, too, on the fourth iloor iuNhe back room atSl.50aweek strictly in advauce can't help thinking what a lot of room she and her sisters had, alter all. I am really surprised that they did not take boarders if they were in straitened circumstances and had so much room to spare. It reminds me of a period of my young manhood which was passed within narrow limits, that is. when it was passed indoors, and about which 1 intend to write a novel sometime entitled, "Lifo m a Hall Bedroom." How well I remember that snug littlo room in which my brother and myself spent so many pleasant hours when we were asleep, lt is photographed upon my memory as plainly as though somo amateur photograph fiend had done it with his instaneous camera. There at one eud was the window open in tho summer tiuie to let in tho re fresh i tic odors from tho neighboring car-stablcs. At tho other end, nine and three-fonrths feet away, was the door, and in the long vista which stretched between ctiuld bo seen tho bedstead with its tall headboard, tho table which served as book-case, secretary, side-boifrd.dressiug-case, and other purposed too numerous to mention, the mirror, with the glass knocked out of one corner, two chairs, a cuspidor, a little oil-stove, a lot of hooks on the wall, from which were hung tho old clothes which wo didn't happen to have on at the time, a little shelf with a 10-cent picture of Lilley Langtry and a picture of my brother's girl, and, maybe, one or twoother things, but certainly nothing else worth mentioning these articles in ado up tho scene within the four walls of our apartment when we were not there. , When we were there then thero was not room to see all these things and us too. I remember my brother and I alwaya flipped a dollar, or if we hadn't a dollar, a penny, to see which of us should occupy tho easy chair for the evening. The room -was just wide enough to admit of the bed and a chair standing along side of each other, and if one of us wanted to go from one end of the room to the other, wo had to put the chair on the bed or there would be no thoroughfare. The quarters did very well for two, but when there was company it must be confessed they were a little cramped. We gave a little party oue evening to the other male boarders of the house there were five of them. Two of them took the chairs, three of them sat on the bed, my brother sat in the window and caught an awful cold, and I 6tood in tho corner. On another evening my brother and I were entertaining two friends and ourselves at draw poker and beer. Which we drew the most of, poker or beer, it is unnecessary to state. My brother and 1 were seated on the bed aud our two friends occupied the chairs. The beer and the poker chips occupied the middle. There came a gentle knock at the door. 1 knew that knock, lt belonged to my aunt a good soul, but-very much addicted to temperance. She had a habit of coming right up without stopping at the parlor. "She wanted to see how wo boys looked," she said, "in our own little room." You can bet that wo didn't look the Fame after tho door was opened that we had a moment earlier. 1 6aid, "Wait a moment, auntie, till I get my collar on," and while I was getting it on, or supposed to be, that beer, those poker chips and those cards I had three aces and a pair at that very moment all went under that bed and stayed thero during tho visit, which fortunately was a brief one. 1 havo not lived in a hall bedroom for many years, but you don't know what it is until you've tried it , Household Hints. Red pepper freely sprinkled over the leaves of house plants and on the surface of the soil, keeps off many of tho insect pests. A circle around a strong canna is a pretty ornament for the centre of a lawn, especially if arranged with coleus plauts of various colors, to which a few geraniums may also be added. . This is said to bo a superior lotion for chapped hands and face; good for feverblisters and sores. Get a druggist to put it up: Rosewater, C ounces; glycerine, 2 ounces; chlorate of potash, 2 drams. Apply a small quantity at a time; rub well. A handy contriranco for supporting your clothes-line is made by planting three or more posts fifteen or twenty feet apart, and in the top of each cutout a long, nartow slot through which to pass the line. These posts should not bo more than six feet in height ' Tie to one end of the line a stroug wooden pin, and allow it to remain, as it will fasten the rope, so you havo only to draw it along through the slots; then wrap it around a second pin. and your clothesline is perfectly secure. In this way you can dispense with props. One of the best applications for pain in pneumonia or dysentery is a flannel bag tilled with hops and rung out with hot vinegar. The wringing process may be avoided by tho nse of two tin-plates. After the bag is ready pour a little vinegar into one plate, set it on the stove and Jay the bag in it. Place the other plate on the top to keep in tho steam. When tho vinegar has all evaporated into the hops add a little more and turu the bag. In a few minutes the bag will be steaming hot, but not dripping. This keeps it light, a thing always to be considered when the chest is weakened , by pneumonia, aud snves the hands of tho nurse from tho scalding vinegar. A writer in tho Ladies' Homo Journal fives the following as a remedy for croup: f the child wakes up in the night croupy, mix camphor and lard together in proportion of live or six drops of camphor to half teaspoonf ul of lard, grease throat and chest well and put on a piece of llannel. I have a bib made of red flannel, with ties to fasten around the neck, which keeps the throat warm. If tho croupy cough is heard and choking socms imminent, drop a drop or two of common kerosene oil on a lnmp of sugar nnd give it. This has proved eliicacious in 6overe case ith me. and I have never known it to fail to reliovo in a very short time. If you are in the habit of doing up your own collars and cutis or ever help about the family washing you may bo glad to learn a new way to arrange while dr3ing small pieces which have buttonholes in them. Take a broad piece of white muilin and on it 6e w buttons of various sizes, tin these button your collars and culls and any small articles, of which there will bo plenty if there arc children in your family. This is then seenred to tho line with pins, aud thus considerable room is saved. The strip may be any length and width you wish, aud there should be two or three rows of buttons, their number depending upon the size of your wash. On a warm day you will appreciate this laundry help, as minutes 6eem long if spent hanging out clothes in the hot sun. Improvine tbe Wblt Hoate.

It seemed that there was a spelling-match to be decided in the town, and l.Jull ot foolish confidence in my own ability, attended and submitted to the process "choosing sides." It never occurred to ma that there could possibly be any feeling either between sides or between individuals as to the result.

Mind, I never knew how serious a matter "spelling down" is, and when.ther asked me to go in, I simply went in. sure that there could be no danger that any of the rustic crowd could spell me down. Tho work began, and boys and girls, right and left, sat down on words of three syllables. Soon there were only twenty of th origi. nal forty contestants, then only fifteen then only ten, at last only five. The words grew harder ' and harder.

Wo see large sums of foreign money com ing into our country to buy our breweries, amLvarious manufacturing establishments, which verifies a prediction of miuo mado many years ngo, that such would be tha cas. thereby casting upon the market millions of homo capital to seek employment and investment, and in what shall ic bef Where and how shall it be located or placed? This is a problem of mnch more serious importance than the parties who have received these largo sums of money may now imagine or have properly considered. As to the propriety of receiving so much of this foreign money I am not in doubt let it come it is but destiny ordained for tho good of our country and the world. Tho moment it become) invested in any enterprise in our country, that moment it becomes a pait of our wealth is under tho protection of otir laws, and liable to taxation the same as though it hadalwavs been, here, and it is without any special identity. I bavo asked what tho owners of theso large sums of money will do with it what is the best and safest security? You may say real-estate loans, and will say true, but it cannot all co there, and tha farmers who borrow it what will they do with it? Thisj question I cannot answer, but I will express tho hope that one-half of all tho money borrowed by the farmers may bo invested in cattle. While i would not advisft the firmer to borrow money, generally, I would advise him to borxow money if need be, to buy all the cattle he can keep, at the present prices, feeling snro ho will not fail of a. handsomo profit iu the next two years. I havo neglected to state ono other circumstance that may. and probably will, have a tendency to keep prices low in the spring aud early summer, that is the large number being fed on cheapcorn the number is unnaturally large in the West, because of cheap corn.

Comparative Demand for Intellectual Rook. O. D. Bunco In North Awnlcaa Review. It is not easy to find a book that stands upon equal conditions in both countries. Looking over tho list of recent books, there is one which seems to me to afi'ord favorable circumstauces for a just comparison. Charles Darwin is probably as well known and as popular with readers here a in England. I am unable to Fay what differences there is in the sale of his books in the two countries, but tbe recent biography by his eon, Francis Darwin, gives us just the facts we are in search of. Tti book is published in England in three volumes at 9. and in this country in two volumes at 4.50; yet tho sale iu England at double the price has been twice as large. Moreover, as tbe greater number of copies there went into the libraries, they had probably ten tunes as many readers. I consider this a conclusive tet as to tho comparative demand for intellectual books b readers in England and readers in the United States. Much has been snid about tho greater sale of the "Encyclopedia Britannica" in the United States than in Euglaml. Seven editions were published here at a much lower price, ar.d the sale was pushed in each instance by an army of active a cents. Had this work been published in this country at one.half the English price, and sold, as it was in England, through the regular book channel, the bhowing would have been very difierent. Nevertheless, the large consumption hero of a work of so high a character is very creditable to our people. Mourning Over I ldo. w York Weekly.
