MRS. PENDLETON.

How the News of Her Death Wis Received it Eer Oil Hone CmciamtL Who She YTas, Iler Position la Society, Her Accomplishments, Iler Children Faller Detail of the Terrible Accident That Led to Her Death The Sentinel on Friday morning published all the information ayailab'e at the time concerning the smdden and terrible death of the rif e of our Minister to the Court of Germany, Hon. George II. Tendleton. The following we take from the Commercial Gazette, published in Cincinnati, Mrs. Pendleton's old home: The news of the death of Mrs. George II. Tendleton fell like a thunderbolt upon the few to whom it came last night. It was not known here, even to her relatives, until nearly midnight, and first came through the inquiries ot the New YorK papers. Nothing sadder could have come to darken the festival week in many of the best homes in Cincinnati. Born in Baltimore, the daughter of Francis S. Key, the author of the greatest of the National anthems, "The Star Spangled Banner," Alice Key came early to Cincinnati as the bride of Ohio's ynnng and brilliant statesman, now representing his country at the capital of the German Empire. The revolutionary Wood which she had in her veins was met by a equally proud lineage on her husband's side, and uniting to this rare culture, social graces and high political position, the family became naturally a leading one. Their three children, Frank Key Fendieton, Mary and Jeanne Fendieton, all grew to manhood and womanhood in this city, and though Senator Fendleton's public duties compelled him to reside for years at a time in "WasaingtOB, the family were always claimed as Cincinnatians. Mrs. Pendleton also adopted and educated as members of her own household Mr. James Barton Key and Miss Alice Key, now Mrs. Fotter, of New York, the children of her brother, Philip Barton Key. A linguist of rare attainments, a woman proud of her country and institutions, an accomplished society woman in the best sense of that term, Mrs. Pendleton was also a devoted Christian, and through herselfand 1 r daughters was active in the charities of tie Episcopal Church, and while an acknowledged leader of Washington society found also many quiet opportunities in which her position and that of her husband could help along the needy and deserving. Her house, while the resort of the most brilliant and prominent people in Washington life, was always open to merit, even if not recognized by success. When her husband's Presidential prospects were discussed, as they have more than once been prominently, it was a common thing to hear a political opponent say : Well, it would be a pride and a pleasure at least to see Mrs. Pendleton as lady of the White House," and that is a sentiment which so well expresses the universal regard in which she was held, that it seems appropriate to recall it even in this sad hour, though her rare worth as a Christian mother and wife will be now more consolingly remembered. Minister Pendleton is in Iierlin with his daughter Mary, while Miss Jeanne accompanied her mother to this country when her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frank Key Pendleton, died last winter. Dr. A. 8. Dandridge, whose wife was Mrs. Pendleton's sister, is in New York at present. Mr. Elliot H. Pendleton and Mr. Edmund Pendleton are Hon. George H. Pendleton's brothers, and Mrs. Dr. Noah Hunt Schenck, formerly of Brooklyn and now of New York City, is his sister. DETAILS OF THE SAD ACCIDENT. New York Special. Mrs. Allice Key Pendleton, the wife of George H. Pendleton, United States Minister at Berlin, and ex-Senator from Ohio, accompanied by Miss Jane Frances Fendieton, her daughter, started out from the residence of Mr. Frank A. Pendleton, a son of the exSenator, at 105 East Twenty-fifth street, at 4 o'clock this afternoon for a drive. The carriage was a one-horse open Victoria and wa3 driven by Hugh Hiley. The afternoon was clear and warm, and the ladies sought to accomplish several errands before going to the park, which was their ultimate destination. They went first into Sixth avenue to do some sboppiDg and then stopped at a riding school in Forty-eight street Once or twice during the drive the horse had shown sins of irritability, and while passing under an elevated raiboad station had become quite frightened. The driver bad overcome this, however, and when the Fifth avenue entrance of the park was reached the animal was as quiet and subdued as could be desired. Following the general procession which filled the park at that hour, the driver turned into the central drive. Everything went well until when withiH about three hundred feet of the Webster statue, when the horse again became frightened at a wagon which had been following in the rear of the carriage. In a moment he became nnman- , ageable and started to run. 'The driver vainly attempted to hold him, until a sudden leap of the horse pulled him over the dash-ooard to the ground. The ladies then became apparently panicstricken. Miss Pendleton, who was on the side nearer the wall, sprang to her feet and leaped to the ground. Along the side of the road-way was a sort of grass plot, and on this the young lady fortunately alighted. She was terribly stunned and unconscious, bhe was thrown backward, however, on the hard asphalt pavement, striking the back of her head, and receiving a compound fracture of the skull. Mounted Paik Officer Hall, who saw the accident, galloped hurriedly to the assistance of the unfortunate ladies. He gave his first attention to the prostrate form of the elderly lady lying in the roadway. SHE WAS E3TIEELT CSCOItSCIOrS. He felt the cheeks and found them almost cold. He then devoted himself to restoring the young lady to consciousness, and being a member of the society of "First Aid to the Injured," partially succeeded in reviving her. Captain Thomas Beatty, who had also come to the assistance of the ladies, tften pummoned an ambulance from the I'resbyterian Hospital. Inside of ten minutes an ambulance had arrived, but Mrs. Pendleton was already dead. Miss Pendleton was taken at once to the hospital and the body of her mother removed to the old arsenal, which is used as police headouarters in the park. Word was immediately sent to the family. Driver Riley was arrested and held to testify and Coroner Meseemer notified. Mr. Pendleton, the son. with ilr. Peter Marie, his father-in-law, Mr. Barry and Mr. S. L. Parrish, of 121 Madison avenue, soon arrived. An inquest was held at once. Huh Kiley, the driver, testified that he liad been employed by Bowles & Co., the livery men, for two months, but had been a coachman for twenty-five yeara. He aided: 'I had driven the horse I had out to-lav three or four times before. I ha 1 never had an accident previously. I knew that if the horse got any show he would plnn.re and try to run away. I am acquainted wit h Central I'ark and the different roads. 1 about tte length of an a-enne bIo:k below the 'V.'ebster monument when the animal first lrame unruly. Iwa? not driving very fast r.ct over seven miles an hour when a 'rr-zon came up quite close from behind. 2 iy horse then plunged and reared. I was 1 ulitd down over the danh board and thrown n ray head. I was dragged along about 290 feet. Tteborewa1? caught by some one, and I was enabled tQ get t? ray Xeet, I after

ward drove to the Arsenal with the same horse. I changed the reins after the horse was caught and put them into the bar from the check in the rings. "After leaving the stable where the horse was harnessed before I mounted the box, I drove to 913 Sixth avenue, near Filty-seventh street. One of the ladies made a short call there. Then I drove to Dicketa' riding school, on Fifty-sixth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. The carriage stopped there only about two minutes. I noticed that the horse was very restless under the Sixth avenue Elevated road, and once made a plunge when startled by a train. He afterward went along all right till we reached the place of the accident. I can not say that 1 would have been able to control the animal if he had been harnessed in the first place as I afterwards harnessed him. He was on a dead bard run when I was thrown off. My seat was very unsafe." When Coroner Messemer asked Riley if he had been drinking during the day, the coachman replied that he had only ene glass of ale, ana that was at his dinner. Bernard Sheridan, who is employed at the water-trough, told how he heard the screams of the ladies, and looking up saw the runaway. He said: "I saw the ladies jump out pf the carriage. The younger lady jumped on to the grass border. I did not see the driver at all. The horse ran about 200 feet after the ladies jumped out. I do not think the ladies were thrown from the carriage. I was about fifty feet away. There was a vehicle behind the Victoria. A park carriage was just in front. That was the only other vehicle I saw. The elder ladv lived two minutes. Her eyes were open, but she seemed to be unconscious all the time." MISS PEXDLETOS'S CONDITION. New York, May 21. The condition of Miss Tendleton, the daughter of the United States Minister to Berlin, who was hurt in the runaway accident yesterday in Central Park was to-day reported to be much improved. She was said to be out of all danger and only suffering from weakness consequent upon the shock. ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Hints to Housekeepers Pertleres and Cur. taint Good Things for the Table. No hostess is to be more dreaded than the one who frets under her duties. If she Is absent-minded at the table and conscious of the blunders in the service, the is an affliction to all about her. Let mistakes go. An easy, attentive bearing is worth all the angel's foou and wine and jelly in creation; for is it cot the essence of the angel itself that which puts us thoroughly at our ease? Oblivion is an absolute essential after the guests are seated at the table. One must be unconscious of mistakes, if they occur. We have known instances where an evening has been marred by the obvious anxiety on the part of the ladies that nothing should go amiss. In consequence, everything went wrong. Let us then have frequent entertainments, and less expensive ones. It is every married woman's duty and especially the prospective mothers, to hunt up and adopt every new idea that will help make her work easier, her cares lighter, the minutes for rest more frequent ami her desire for mental improvement stronger. MARVELS OF BEAUTY IS DRAPERY. Portieres are marvels ot beauty. A novelty is a pair of Delhi "puhlgaries," one mass of gold-colored silk embroidery, into which are worked small, round pieces of lookingglass. These give the curtains a very quaint and curious effect, for without a close examination it is impossible to tell what the innumerable glittering circles are. An elegaut portiere to match the window draperies is of peacock blue velvet, with a heavy border of embroidery of birds and flowers; the doors that this portiere frames have the panels painted with birds and flowers t3 correspond ; the curtains are arranged upon rings sewn to the inner side of the velvet, and cords passed through them so that they can be draped back to show the color to perfection. Plush, satin, velouse, cretonne, and most furniture coverings can be used to correspond with the surroundings of the room, while heavy curtains, with a deen dado, come ready for use, are pretty and not very expensive. Satin damasks are of the most gorgeous descriptions. Gold thread is introduced in many of them, some being stiff with the metal embroidery. Plain silk plush is pretty, but not serviceable, as it crushes so easilv. A handsome furnishing material is a red with damask velvet designs. Silk and wool damasks, so much in vogue many years ago, are now again becoming fashionable, and are made in all the new imitations of old colors, old gold, China blue, dull red, copper, etc. They are very serviceable, and by many are preferred to tigured goods. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TAKLE. OeaM'E Short Cake. For the filling of an orange short-cake, take two large oranges, peel and chop fine, remove the seeds, add fialf a peeled lemon and one cup of suar. Spnad between the layers of short-cake while it is hot. This may be used for layercake filling alfo, but in that case add the well-beaten white of an egg. Fish Patties. Line some small tins with pie-crust, not too rich. While they are baking, pick the fish into very small bits, season with cream or with milk, and a lump of butter, pepper and salt. Heat to the boiling point, and fill the patties when they are taken from the oven. Another way is to remove the bones and skin, pick the fish up fine, mix with a little chopped cabbage, and season with salad dressing. Still another way is to j repare the fish just as you would for the patties, and then serve on thin slices of buttered toast. In this case put milk enough over the fish to allow it to soak into the toast. Braised veal: Take a piece of tbe shoulder weighing about five iounds. Have the bone removed and tie up the meat to make it firm. Put a piece of butter the size of half an egg, together with a few shavings of onion, into a kettle or stone crock aad let it get hot. Salt and pepper the veal and put it into the kettle, cover it tightly and put it over a medium fire until the meat is brown on both sides, turning it occasionally. Then set the kettle back on the stove, see if the juice of the meat together with the butter do net make gravy enough, and if not, put in about two tablespoon uls of hot water. When the gravy is cold it will be like jelly. It can be served hot with the hot meat or cold with the cold meat. Baked Indian Pudding: One small cupful of Indian meal, one-half a cupful of wheat flour stirred together with co'd milk. Scald one pint of milk and stir the mixture in it and cook until thick, then thin with cold milk to the consistency of batter, not very thick, and add half a cupful of sugar, half a cupful of molasses, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of butter, little salt, two-thirds of a tea.tpoönful of soda added just before putting it into the oven. Bake two hours. After baking half an hour stir it up thoroughly. Graham pudding: Two cupfuls graham Hour, one cupful molasses, one cupful milk, one teaspoonful of soda, one cupful raisins. Steam three hours. Sauce foi the above. Two eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately, scant half cupful of butter, one cupful cf sugar. Beat butter and sugar together thoroughly, put in the yolks well beaten, then tbe whites beaten to a stiff froth and flavor. llarthohir Statue of "Liberty Enlightening the World" Will be a reminder of iersonal liberty for tg"s to come. On just as sure a foundation lia Dr. l'ierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" ben placed, and it will stand through the cycles of time as a monument to the physical emancipation of thousands, who By its u.e have been relieved from consumption, consumptive night sweats, bronchitis.coughs, f-j.ittiDg of blood, weak lungs, and other throat and lung affections.

ALDERMAN JAEHNE,

Of New York City, Gets Nine Years and Ten Months in ths Stita Prim Observations of Judge Barrett in Pronouncing Sentence Temporary Stay of Proceedings Secured From Judge Daniels. New York, May 20. The Court of Oyer and Terminer was filled this moraine with spectators, anxious to hear Judge Barrett pronounce sentence upon Alderman Henry W. Jaehne, who was convicted of bribery in connection with the Broad way Railroad franchise. Jaehne was in attendance, guarded by a Deputy Sheriff. His face was pale and his eyes had a weary look. After the Judge had taken his seat the District Attorney moved for sentence to be passed on the prisoner. General Pryor, of Jaehne's counsel, made a motion for an arrest of judgment upon the following grounds: (1) That the indictment was insufficient in substance. (2) That the count, in the indictment upon which the verdict was returned, is insufficient to sustain the verdict. (3) That because in law there can be no judgment upon the indictment and verdict. Counsel movel for a new trial upon two grounds: (1) Misdirection of the jury in matters of law. (2) Because the verdict was contrary to law and against the evidence. The motions were both denied by Judge Bairett. The counsel then took an exception to the denial of each motion. Jaehne then stood up for sentence, and, in reply to the usual questions of the clerk, gave hit; age as thirty-six years, and his residence as 43 Vandam street. He said also that he had learned the jewelry trade. He was asked what he had to say why judgment should not be pronounced against him according to law. He made no reply, but kept his eyes fixed upon the rail in front of him. Judge Barrett then sentenced the prisoner to nine years and ten months in the State Prison. He said the prisoner had been convicted after a fair trial; that he had every advantage that a defendant could have and able counsel. He had the services of two of the nost eminent members of the bar, one a eteran of the criminal bar, noted for his . ower and force, and another gentleman of .ted ability, whose services were ever ready the command of the poor, unfortunate and pressed. The case was a sad one. It was .umiliating spectacle that a man who was ected to public office in this city should . ve so heniously betrayed his trust as the sorter had. It was humiliating to the peo--of the city. State and county that such a etaele should be presented in a free vernment as a person betraying his st as the prisoner had. It was sad ee a man with the prisoner's ad- . tages in the position in which he now is. ould not be unmoved at the spectacle ef .r weeping wife and broken-hearted her, but the saddest thing of all aoout r case is the doubt which pervaded many d and honest minds of your conviction. -re was not a doubt of your guilt. It was . iversally conceded when the evidence was hat the case against you was clear, concing and overwhelming. There was no ibt of your guilt, but there was a doubt .cerning the chances of convicting you. convicting you the first doubt seems to ve arisen from a lack of faith in the ellici:y of the jury system, tne zeal of our pubi prosecutor and the efficiency of our po- . These doubts will be dispelled by your nviction. It teaches an important lesson. l ie majority of our people in public life r ave not their price. Let me aain say at j "is point that your offense was not technical bribery, but a stupendous bribery for i he furtherance of a stupendous transaction. Have the people of this city ceased to remember the fate of Tweed, of Genet, of Crowley, of Fish and of Ward? The people are not all honeycombed with corruption. According to tbe testimony in your case, the two only honest men in the Board were sneered at by you as dudes. Our worthy Sheriff Grant refused the proffered bribe, and it is entirely immaterial, as was suggested, whether they expected the reward Grant to run for Mayor and O'Connor for Governor." In conclusion Judge Barrett said: "It only remains for me to now pass sentence. In your case the maximum penalty of the law will not be imposed. Under a recent statute whenever the maximum penalty is abridged the prisoner has this advantage that in addition to his commutation for good behavior be can leave tbe State Prison between the months of March and May. Appeals have been made to me to be merciful in your case. I am not unmindful of the suffering of your lamily. Iso undue severity will be exercisea toward you. I have, therefore, instructed the Sheriff not to move you immediately to the State Prison. You will be conveyed to the city prison where you will have an opportunity to consult With your counsel in regard to the pending appeal in your case. The sentence is nine years and ten months." Lawyer Newcomb, on affidavits made by himself and Jaehne, and containing the legal points raised during the trial and the exceptions taken, secured from Judge Daniels a temporary stay of proceedings and an order to show cause why the stay should not be made permanent, pending appeal. Argument will be heard this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Copies of the order were served on Sheriff Grant, District Attorney Martine and Warden Finn, of the Toombs. Jaehne is in the custody of the warden, who assigned him to cell No. 11, on the third tier. According to the remission made for good behavior, Jaehne will actually have to serve six years, four months and elevan days. "TEXAS TOM." low an Old Timer Won 10,000 in One Afternoon His First Appearance in Indianapolis. San Francisco Alta. For a week past San Francisco's principal streets have been familiar with a slim, trim figure, faultlessly attiied, and surmounted by a smooth-shaven face, the features Of which are so puzzling as to leave the observer in doubt whether its wearer's years number fifteen or fifty. Such is Thomas P. Redmond, better known as "Texas Tom," formerly Pierre IiOrillard's head light-weight jockey, and for the past three years one of the most successful backers of race horses on America's tracks, Redmond was not born until late in 18G7, but for thirteen years of his life he has been so much associated with men of mature years and habits that there is nothing of the boy left in him, and the practice of wearing a high silk bat, added to his conyersaUon gives him the general appearance and air of one long past his majority. His first public appearance was in Indianapolis, at the age of six years, when he ran away from home and went on the variety stage as a precocious song and dance kid. A year or two later a bronchial aff ection ruined his vocal organs lor public singing, and for a long time he was unable to speak above a whisper, and even now his voice seems strained in ordinary conversation. Drifting into Texas he learned to ride mustangs, and achieved some notoriety as a jockey In the impromptu quarter races that characterized the gatherings of the stockmen. Getting back to the racing centers of the East, he obtained employment in galloping vicious horss that were beyond the control of the boys employed to give them exercise. Young Redmond proved a-pretty tough customer, and his stable companions, after feeling the weight of his fists, were so heartily down on him that everything amiss about the stables was always laid on the shoulders of "that d d Texican," and from this he received the clinging soubriquet of Texas Tom. Still, he proved a valuable fcand for the work he was, ensued for, and

in one stable of particularly vicious colts he was not discharged even after he nad shot at the head trainer for cracking a whip at his legs for some act of disobedience. Some time in 1S78 he received his first mount for a regular stake race, and after that he prospered rapidly. Among his best known early mounts were General Harden, Big Medicine, Toronto, Lady of the 1-ake, and other more or less famous winners of their day. It was the poisoning of the last named animal that first caused a ban to be put on Redmond, and after this turf scandals piled up on his name at a rapid rate. He lost employment with the crack stables, and became affiliated with a tough crowd of touts and sure-thing men, who stood at nothing to destroy to as great an extent as possible the "glorious uncertainty" of racing. About his last appearance in the pigskin was on the New Orleans course, in 1883, when he was put up on the old campaigner known as "Boston on the Table." Boston was a horse owned by a syndicate of gamblers who toured the tracks of the country, dependent more on their winnings at cards, no wever, than legitimate turf earnings. They ran against some pretty good poker players in New Orleans, and for a long time could only sit in the game with barely sufficient to ante in front of them. Wben one of them would capture a good hand he would bet Boston. The game hobbed up and down this way for some time, the gamblers, whenever their table stakes were oversized, saying, "Well. Boston's on the table," thus raising their opponents to the value of the horse. Finally the remark was such a byword that the horse came tobe known as "Boston on the Table." Bostcn nearly ended Redmond's existence on this occasion ly running away, throwing him off, and breaking his collar-bone and three ribs. Since then he has been either in the employ of the bookmakers or against them. If Le furnishes them information they make their odds according to their purport, and if he takes tleir odds they generally shiver. One of his streaks of luck, or judgment, or conmvance, as they have been variously termed, was the winning of 10,000 in one day ft Jeiome Park, his original capital being a $10 bilL There were seven races on the card, and lie backed everyone of the unexpected winners at long odds. It does not seem to make much difference where he drops in, he sc-eni constantly a winner, as his brief experience on this coast will show. He arrived in Sacramento on tbe morning of the first day of the Capital Turf Club's late meeting, and did not get to the track until the first race was ever. After that he bet on every race, and lever failed to call the winner, except in one instance. An Alta reporter, who made Tom's acquaintance, found him quiet and agreeable in manner, and a pleasant conversadonalist, although not inclined to speak ot hinself. He hardly knows when he was ever a genuine boy ; he never played a game of roubles or ball in his life, nor flew a kite, and tie rearf st action to the sport of youth that Le can remember is the robbing of a melon patch in New Jersey. He has been ruled off a dozen race courses, but on nearly every one of them he has bought pools in the down-town auctions of the night before and cashed them on the succeeding evening. Whether one-third of the wickedness charged against Tom by the Eastern turf press is true or not can not be positively known out here, but if a tithe of it belonged to him he should have leen hanged long ago. A Train in a Cyclone. IPIttsburg Ppecial.1 The train passed Forest, 22"J miles west of Tittsburg, about 10:35. The engineer was then sendiDg the locomotive along at about thirty miles an hour. The engineer put on more iteam, and when about three miles from Kirby the storm was at its height. Suddenly there was a dull roar in the distance and then a cyclone tore across the level plain on the south side of the track, and catch itg a big tree tore it up by the roots and flung it across the cars. One limb struck the locomotive and cut the cow-catcher in two, another limb fell on the platform and Fteps of the first car, and demolished them. Other branches smashed in the windows aloDg the three daycare and the two Pullran sleepers. Telegraph poles came dancing down at the same time and rocks and bushes flew through the air in a riotous scurry. The car windows were smashed to pieces, cracked and splintered, and the glass Hew in every direction. The train kept on the rails, and the engineer applying the air-brakes brought it to a stancstill within 200 yards. Every passenger was in a paroxysm of fear. The sleepen were transformed into dens of wildly excited men and women. The railway men kept fairly cool, and, as far as they could, assisted in the restoration of confidence. The storm continued. The air was still filled with Hying branches and stones, while tbe lare of eltctricty intesitied the uorror. Tbongh every window in the sletpeis Bai'e i and Salamis was fractured, and almost ev-rw pane in the other coaches smashd, but very few passengers were hurt. Mr. C. C. Bow, a merchant of Canton, Ohio, was i his berth when a tree shivered the glass above him ami received one piece under his right eye with such force the eye was literally cut out. A lady in the same car was also cut about the face. A few others had their hands cut. And an idea of its force may be conceived from the fact that rocks were blown into tbe cars on the south side and had sufficient impetus left to pierce the western windows as clean as if they were bullets from a Gatling gun. The locomotive boiler was dented in several places and smokestack was knocked out of a straight line. After about an hour's delay the train started again, and in due time reached Crestline without further accident, where another locomotive was procured. When the train arrived here it looked as if it had been riddled by sharpshooters and a battery of artillery. Brandy and Abslntbe. Omaha IIerald.1 "There goes a confirmed brandy drinker," said one cf the bartenders at the Arcade yesterday morning. He'li kill himself in less than two years." The man referred to had just absorbed a large dose of brandy, with the remark that he could not eat breakfast without the liquor. His face had already begun to assume a purple color, and it was evident at first sight that he was a hard drinker. "I used to be in Chicago," continued the man in spotless raiment, "and the proprietor of the place in which I worked was very fond of brandy. He used to drink it before breakfast, after dinner in fact all the time. I told him that it would ruin his health, but he wouldn't believe it. Finally I showed him by ocular proof that I was right I took two jars and placed a piece of meat in each. I filled one of them with whisky and the other with brandy which was taten from his own private bottle. I put the two jars away and at the end of two weeks showed tbem to him, Tbe meat in the jr containing the brandy was perforated with holes, which the liquor had eaten away, while the meat in the whisky-jar was in the same condition as wben it was put in. 'There,' said I, 'you can see what effect brandy has upon your stomach. Drink after your meals, but never take it on an empty stomach.' The proprietor tumbled, and from that day to this has never touched a drop of brandy." "There is another thing, too," remarked one 01 the bystanders, "which shows something of the ingredients used in making poor beer. You'll find that in every beer joint in Omaha the man who draws the beer has holes in his shoe. You see they put a lot of tannin in cheap beer. Tannin is the same stuff they use in preparing hides, and it eats away Icatner like so much nitric acid. It probably does tbe same thing to the lining of a man's stomach. However, I'll take chances," concluded he, as he raised a gla33 of the foaming beverage to hie lips. "I'll tell you, gentlemen," said the bartender,putting the bottles back in their proper places, "that absinthe drinkers nre petting to be almost as common in this country as they are in France. I've got several customers who drink it every day. I suppose that it is probably the worst drink a man could take, as it acts directly upon the brain." England owns 23,000,000 fowls, and 1,000,OW.OW egg were Imported in 1.933,

TILDEN'S HOUSB.

How the Sage of Gramercy Park Lives and Spend His Time. r Omaha Herald. Ex-Governor Samuel J. Tilden occupies a unique position in American politics, and his nandsome mansion in Gramercy Park has been the Mecca of political pilgrimages without number. It is one of the most attractive dwellings in New York ; it was not constructed for some successful but ignorant gambler of Wall street or the Produce Exchange, but for one of the most remarkable figures in modern politics and under his culivated supervision. It is two houses made into one, and unites domething of the Gothic with not a few at the graces of the French renaissance. Between the two bay windows are the carved beads of Shakespeare, Milton, Franklin, Goethe and Dante, Mr. Tilden's favorite authors. At the main entrance polished red granite columns, in the style of the renaissance support corbels on which are carved in bold relief the beautiful heads of the godessea ui luc iuui Bcoauus. vver tue uiuer cutrance is the head of Michael Angelo. Over the main entrance is a balcony from which tbe crowd might be addressed, and this is in closed by a bronze railing. The house ha an elevator. The entire second story is occupied by Mr. Tilden's bedroom, bathroom and private parlor; his library is in the second story. One of the reasons why he made the extensive improvements in his home here which cost him about $200,000 was to secure additional room for his library. The ceiling and walls of the dining-room are finished with finely carved satin wood and blue tiles; satin wood is used in doors and for decoration throughout the house. The front is brownstone ornamented with red Carlisle and gray Maine granite; the Scotch as well as the American stone is adorned with rich tracery, bringing out, as with magical chisel, leaves, flowers, beetles and lizards with a profusion that makes the facade a study in art. It is an abode that would have been worthy of an ancient Venetian Prince. It fronts on the private Gramercy Park, which now. with its turf -bordered beds of hyacinths and crocuses, its willows, buttonwoods, elms, shrubs and great urns of pansies and a few magnolia trees close by, is one of the few garden spots in the east side desert of brick, brawn stone and marble. A nymph perpetually bathes in a large fountain, and French bonnes escort the' prattling children ot the wealthy along the good old-fashioned gravel paths. Gramercv l'ark and the immediate nighborhood make one of those quiet spots away from the surging sea of city bustle, one of those quiet, secluded and aristocratic squares on which Thackeray loved to dwell in his life like fiction. It is on such a scene as this that the gentleman who believes that ten years ago he was elected President of the United States, looks out when he is in town. Much of his time is now passed, however, both in winter and summer, at Greystone, Lis fine mansion, two miles from Yonkers, on the Hudson. Among those who call most frequently upon him are William E. Dodge, John Bigelow and Assemblyman Beardsley. Ex-Comptroller Andrew II. Green stays with him while he is at Greystone. His mansion and various possessions there, by the way, are valued at $1,500,000. His fortune amounts to $4,000,000 or $.").000,000. On his Greystone estate he raises Jersey cattle, blooded horses, dog3 and fowls. He comes from English stock, and is in some respects English in his tastes. His extensive grounds receive the most careful attention. His sister, Mrs. Pelton, presides over his household, assisted by a number of nieces, who are much attached to the old statesman. He likes to be surroand by young people, especially young ladies. He has the elaborate gallantry of a gentleman of the old school. Among his neighbors are Mr. and Mrs. Harriott (Clara Morris), and sometimes he drives out with the gifted actress, who has been, like himself, an invalid. He waa formerly an exceptionally good horseman, but now, weighed down by years and infirmities, he takes his airing in a carriage. and in the summer makes short trips on the Hudson In his yacht. Some years ago he had a light stroke of paralysis, out his principal trouble is a nervous affection known to physicians as arthritis. The paralytic stroke, however, affected the lid of his left eye, which is contracted and drawn down, while his mouth and tongue are also slightly affected. Both hands are inclined to keep up a perpetual shaking; the left hand is most affected. This trouble set in as palsy about eight years ago; it is now chronic and beyond a cure; iodine is frequently applied to the left hand, and in conversation he of:en uses the right hand to stop tbe shaking of tbe other. When be sleeps bath hand are perfectly quiet. He usually retires at !:.') and arises at 7:30. He is cheerful and usually passes a comparatively pleasant day. His mind remains triumphant over the ills of bis poor, worn-out body; he is a marvelous exemplification of the fact that the human soul may win a glorious victory over all the ills of the flesh. The decrepit man of seventy-two reads, or has others read to him, engages in witty and intellectual conversation, and keeps up a large correspondence with various prominent members of the Democratic party. He has a private secretary and an amanuensis, both of whom he keeps busy. He has an exceptionally fine library; he is espe cially fond of rare books, more particularly of interleaved copies of old works, lite those, for example, of Izaak Walton. His memery is marvelous; without referring to his power of retaining historical facts and figures, it is curious to notice the tenacity of his memory for more words embodying nice shades of distinctian ; his discrimination in the use of synonyms is as delicate as that of the most uncompromising purist. He selects a word which expresses his exact raeaning, and he never varies from it even though he may dictate the same matter to one of his Secretaries or to the reporters a dozen times. Besides being a master of English, he is a good classical scholar. His voice has not been heard in public since 1S80, when he spoke at the Academy of Music, indorsing the nomination of General Hancock for President. Mr. Tilden now speaks altogether in a whisper, and it is necessary to get quite close to him to hear what he has to say. His sense of humor is exquisite; his wit often has a tinge of satire, sometimes quiet and delicate as a play of light on a damaskeened blade, sometimes Blightly sardonic and suggestive of Machiavelli in a gay and harmless mood. The impressiveness of his conversation is heightened by the fact that it Is from necessity SDoken in a whisper. And so the old statesman, with the penetration of a Metternich, the cunning, if not the courage, of a Richelieu, is slowly passing along a sequestered vale of life to take his place among the notable figures in American hiiiory. Oscar Willow nay Rwgs. The Phantom Train. Bob ton Herald. An old story, which may be of interest to tbe students of psychical research, comes Irom Old Orchard. Before the Boston and Maine Railroad was extended to Portlacdj visitors reached Old Orchard by a branch of the Eastern Road. Since the building of the former road's extention the branch has been abandoned, and no trains have run over it for years. The rails are up, and in many places the roadbed destroyed. Last summer, as a party of Canadian gentlemen, three in number, were walking along this deserted road, they heard distinctly the rumble of an approaching train. It came nearer and nearer, and yet nothing was seen. As it came close to them, they all involuntarily jumped from the track, and the invisible train pjusw'd them, going toward the beach, the sound growing fainter as it went oa. The gentlemen were much frightened, and one was quite overcome by the occurrence. He could not shake oil the impression that had hern left, and declared that he knew something terribie was to happen. That very afternoon he received a dispatch from friends in Montreal telling him that his wife and only child had been killed by a railroad accident thai very forenoon.

THE PALMER STAMP. An Karly Invention Recalled by an Old Man's Recent Suicide. Boston Globe. One of the old postage stamps prize 1 by collectors is that now known as the "Urattieboro stamp." It is rare and very scarce, avi frequently brings a high price'even at auctions. Dr. Frederiefe N. Palmer, the physician who jumped oil' a Portland steamer on M mday wi'h his little grandchild and wn drowned, originated this stamp. Dr. Palmer was Postmaster at BrattlPboro during President Polk's Administration, and be conceived tbe idea of a stamp to be affixed to letters from his office in order to avoid the trouble of branding etch letter with the words "Paid five cents" in huge red capitals, which was then the custom. This stamp was engravel by Thomas Ghubbuck, of Springfield, for the Postmaster's personal use. It may have been a most useful stamp at the time of its issue, but it certainly baa no pretensions to beauty of design, and compared with the Ave cent Garfield stamp, the Palmer stamp is very commonplace. Collectors are, however, willing to pay fabulous prices for it. and they vie witn each other in a struggle to add it to their collection. Two persons in Iloston have a Palmer stamp in their possession. Oneof these stamps was bought about twenty years ago for seventy-five cents, the other, bought about four years ago, cost perhaps $1 ( . A Conjuror' Wonderful Trick. Paris Lettei to London Telegraph. The Figaro, the most popular newspaper of the French metropolis, invited a very select number of notabilities last night to be present at the first appearance in Paris of a marvelous conjuror and of a singularly complete Russian Choral Society. The name of tbe ''illusioniste," as he calls himself, is linatier de Kolta, and he is a Hungarian by birth. His tricks were all original and perfectly incomprehensible even to the adepts assembled to criticise them. I will on!' attempt to describe one, which thoroughly puzzled all present. After spreading a newspaper on the floor, he placed a chair upon it and then asked a young lady to sit down. He threw over her a piece of silk which barely covered her from head to foot. He ttien rapidly removed the drapery, and the chair was empty. As soon as the amazement of the spectators gave tbem time to applaud, the young lady walked on from the side and bowed her icknowlegments. There certainly was no trap in the floor, the chair wa3 of the ordinary kind, and the trick was done in a strong light. The lady, in fact, disapperred before ibe very eyes of the audience; but so quickly was the trick done that no one present saw her escape. Judge Duval's Wife. Cleveland Leader.! Speaking of Stanley Matthew's marriage reminds me of a story which Ogle Tayloe tells cf Justice Duval, who whs on the Supreme bench for twenty five years, serving from 1811 to 183U. Judge Duval was a representative from Maryland to the first Congress, and while there he and William I Giles, of Virginia, boarded in Philadelphia with Mrs. Gibbons, who had a dauzhter who wa neither young nor taciturn. Giles an ! D aval became great friends, but after thev left Cngrf ss they lost sieht of each other for a titne. The- met again in Washington at the heginning of Jefferson's administration, when Giles was senator and Duval controller of tbe treasury. They were happv in the revival of old times, and were enjoying themelvts in'chatting about them until iSenator Giles inquired of Duval, "What ha? become of tbut d d cackling old maid, Jennie Gibbons?" "6he is Mrs. Duval, sir," was the reply, and it is needless to say that the conversation after this was for a time rather 8 trained.
