A STRANGE PRISONER.

Ernest S. Eardley, the law student who Wa3 sen-
tenced to four months' imprisonment recently for
contempt of court and assaulting two police-officers,
has, it is said, conducted himself in a most extra-
ordinary fashion since be has been in the Birming-
ham gaol. He allowed the officials to take his
ordinary clothes off, but refused to wear the prison
dress, and offered so much resistance that it required
nine men to put him in the uniform. It was then
neces ary to apply a restraint jacket. The prisoner
also refused to take food, and on Sunday, after fasting
five days, milk gruel was injected into his stomach
while he was he'd by ten men. He still persists in
his refusal to take food, and contends that his convic-
tion was unlawful, and that he ought to be treated so
a first-class misdemeanant.

WOMEN'S PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.

The annual meeting of the Women's Protective
and Provident League was held on Tuesday evening
in the Essex Hall, London, Prof. Stuart, M.P., pre-
siding. In their 12th annual report the comini!tee
referred with satisfaction to the fact that there were
many indications of increasing interest in the chief
object of the league—the improvement of the indus-
trial position of women by means of association for
mutual protection and aid. In one important direc-
tion, however, there had, unfortunately, been little
progress made. The number of active helpers pre-
pared to devote time and energy to the development
of the Women's Union movement in London and the
provinces had not materially increased, and until such
increase took place there could be little hope of bring-
ing about any marked improvement in the cordition
of working women. The question was, wily did not
educated women come forward and assiet the league,
which was the only organisation through which work-
women could be educated and encouraged to apply
the powerful lever of combination with respect to tneir
industry? The words used by Mr. Walter Besant in
his new story, "The Children of Gibeon"—" The im-
possible way of helping working women is that the
ladies of the country shall unite to form a protection
league for their working sisters," would then no longer
be a well-founded reproach. It would then be no
longer possible to read such astounding reports of the
inequalities between the reward of capital and the
reward of women's labour as that lately publi-bed,
when at a meeting of the shareholders in a large
match manufactory a dividend of 22 per cent. was de-
clared upon the work of women and children, the
weekly earnings of the majority of these women rang-
ing from four to eight shillings. The adoption of the
report, proposed by Mr. S. Buckma,ter, seconded by
Mr. J. Holmes, secretary .of the Leicester Hosiery
Union, and supported by several female secretaries of
women's local assosiations, was carried unanimou,ly.
Professor Stuart, in the course of a brief address.
pointed out that the assocation was not a Trades'
Union, hut had for its object the establishment of
Trades' Unions in the various trades in which women
are employed. He dwelt particularly upon the need
for voluntary workers in the work of the League.
With regard to Trades' Unions, he did not seewhy
they should not be as successful for women as they had
been for men. The question of rai,ing the position of
women was one of vital importance, for no society
could progress and at the same time leave its women
behind. Several ladies also spoke.

IMPORTANT TO COLLIERY PROPRIETORS

AND MINERS.

- -
At the Rowley Regis Police Coutt on Wednesday,
the magistrates (Messrs. W. Batman° and C. Hot-
croft) were ot:cupied for two hours in hearing an
important ease aff,cting colliery proprietors aod
miner. Three pitmen, namod. William Snead.
Samuel Taylor, and James Jackson, sued their em-
ploye's. Messrs. North and Wright, of the Rowley
Hill Colliery, for wages amounting to .t 8 5s in lieu
of notice, and also for wages in .band, 4s for "yard-
ing," 3s for setting, 43 6d tonnage, and 80 a yard
for stoppage of stillage, amounting altogether to
.21 3s 4i-d. Mr. Clalow,.of Brierley Hill, appeared
on behalf of the plaintiffs, and Mr. Shakespeare
reprosented the defendants. Mr. Clulow said the
question the Bench would be called upon to decide
was one of considerable importArica to the coal
trade The three plaintiffs had been employed at
the defendant's-colliery for a considerable time as
pitmen, and his instructions were that from June to
September 30th a man named Baugh, who Wag on-
plojed as deputy manager, made various alters-
tons, and 4.n the 30th of September he refused to
',now 3s for setting trees. A complaint was made
to Mr. North, one of the employers, who ordered
the 3s to be paid. Upon the men going to the col-
liery Baugh said he should not allow the "yarding"
if they insisted upon being paid for setting the
tree-: • The plaintiffs said they wJuld not submit
to any alteration of the contract without fourteen

_BANKRUPTCY OF THE RESPONDENT.

In the Bankruptcy Court on Tiins—sKy-, before Mr.
Registrar Finlay Knight, a meeting for public exa-
mination was held in re A. E. S. Sebright. The re-
ceiving order was made in June last upon a creditors'
petition, and an adjudication in bankruptcy was after-
wards made. The bankrupt was described as of
Parish's Hotel, George-street, Hanover-square,
gentleman, and was respondent in the suit for nullity
of marriage reported above. The liabilities were
returned in the statement of affairs at £12,544, and
assets nil. There is also an item of .E 3350 in respect
of liabilities on bills accepted by Miss Lina Mary
Sobright, but which are not expected to rank against
the estate. Mr. Kent appeared for the trustees, and
said that the bankrupt was not in attendance, and
was evidently treating the Court with contempt. He
asked for an order for the committal of the bankrupt
under Rule 185. The Registrar said that he did not
feel justified at present in making the order, as it wai
notorious that the bankrupt's attendance might be
necessary in another court. He should adjourn the
case pro forma for a fortnight, and direct the bank-
rupt to be served with notice, and in the event of his
not appearing at the adjourned sitting he would be
liable to be committed forwith.

Sir John Lentaigne, C. 8., Inspector of Reformatory
and Industrial Schools, a Commissioner of National
Education, and an honorary member of the General
Prisons Board of Ireland, has died at his residence, in
Dublin, in his 78th year.

MESMERISM EXTRAORDINARY.

In these days when mesmeric, hysteric, and other
pathological or psychological phenomena are made to
play so large a part in fiction, it must be consoling to
the practical mind to find them for once connected
with fact. The chief French surgeons and medical
professors have for some time been carefully study-
ing the effects of mesmerism on the female patients
of the Salp6trit:Te Hospital, and M. Babinski, a
clinical surgeon of that establishment, has just effected
a series of experiments, the results of which would
seem to open up a new future for medical science.
Babinski tried to prove that certain hysterical
symptoms could be transferred by the aid of the
matinet from one patient to another. He took
two subjects, one a dumb woman afflicted with
hysteria, and the other a female who was in a state of
hypnotic trance. A screen was placed between the
two, and the hysterical woman was then put unc'er
the influence of a strong magnet. After a few
moments she was rendered dumb, while speech was
suddenly restored to the other. M. Babinski also
effected temporary cures of paralysis in the same
manner. Luckily for his healthier patients, how-
ever, their borrowed pains and symptoms did not last
long, and they were saved from a calamity almost
similar to that which befel Doctor Jekyl when ha
swallowed too much salts and irrevocably became
Mister Hyde.

RUSSIA. AND THE SPEECH.
(From the Dail' Chronicle Correspondent.)
BERLIN, Monday Night.

Count Kalnoky's st;atement has been received by
the Panslavist press of Russia with an explosion of
anger and endless threats. The IVovoye Fronya, in
its rage, calls for an instant declara,ion of war agains,.
Austria-Hungary, a war that would, it urges, be
enthusiastically welcomed by all Slays, and would re-
sult in an effectual settlement of the whole Balkan
question, including the future of Bulgaria, inasmuch
as Austria would, says this truculent Panslavi-t
organ, be infallibly beaten. The " irreso-ute chatter"
of Count Kalnoky, it continues, shows con-
clusively enough the feebleness of that -Power.
The .2.vovosti declares, with much strong language,
that Russia will not again submit her cause
to a European areopagus. General Kaulbars will, it
continues, complete his mission, come what may.
Russia does not fear a coalition of England, Austria,
and Germany, as a war would cause the Austrian
Slays to at once revolt, and France wculd also take
the field. Since the remaining Powers are arming
Russia should, it urges, reply by mobilising her own
forces, and se on. These windy rhodomontades cause
nothing but a contemptuous smile here, influential
circles still adhering to the belief that Russia, or
rather the Czar, will follow some wiser advice than
that tendered him by his journalistic counsellors. It
is already rumoured in diplomatic circles that Russia
intends to propose the appointment of an international
commission, analogous to that which dealt with the
Lebanon, for the settlement of the question, including
the union of Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia in the
double interest of Bulgaria and Turkey.

A GHASTLY BEDFELLOW:

A well-known West Countryman, who was in New-
castle a few nights ago (according to the Newcastle
Chronicle), having lost his train, returned to the
public-house where he had been imbibing an extra
dose of liquor, and secured a bed for the night. A
candle was handed to him, and he was directed to his
room; but being somewhat " fou" his unsteadiness of
gait jerked the candle out of its socket, and he was thus
left in darkness. He stumbled on till he found a
bedroom—though not his own. Doffing his garments,
he groped about successfully for the bed, but found
that it already accommodated another lodger. He
felt that his bedfellow was a more than usually "cold
subject." "Man," said he, " ye're as ca'd as clay;
yer feet's like icebergs!" He continued to push his
uncomfortable neighbour along, and the latter fell out
of bed altogether. "There, noo," exclaimed our hero,
"ye can lie there." He soon fell sound asleep. Next
morning he was awakened by the noise of two stal-
wart men fumbling with the handle of his bedroom
door, and then noisily entered with a coffin. The in-
dignant corpse suddenly sat up and demanded to know
why he had been disturbed. This was too much for
the two joiners, who dropped the coffin and fled. The
4ht of the coffin reminded our hero of his bedfellow.
He looked over at him for a moment, and then realised
that his fellow-lodger was a corpse. He jumped out
of bed, hastily snatched up his garments, and rushed
from the house, half dressed, to complete his toilet
under the portico of the Central Station.

THE RECALL OF SIR DRUMMOND
WOLFF:

rihe news, says the Morning Post, that Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff has been summoned to London to
report personally to her Majesty's Government on the
progress of his mission, and to confer with them re-
specting the negotiations which he is carrying on with
the Turkish Commissioner in Egypt, is a clear indi-
cation that the Government are resolved to resume
with energy the work of Egyptian reorganisation,
which was greatly interrupted while the Liberal Ad-
ministration was in office. Although Mr. Gladstone's
Government fully recognised the opportunity and the
importance of Sir H. D. Wolff's mission, no instruc-
tions of any importance were transmitted to him
during a lengthened period. There is np foun-
dation for the report that Sir IL D. Wolff
has been summoned to London, with the object of
entrusting him with a special mission to Constan-
tinople. The report has perhaps arisen from the fact
that, previous to the nomination of Sir William White
as Ambassador to the Porte, the idea of appoiLting
Sir IL D. Wolff to that post had been entertained in
Government circles. We understand that the 13ritish
Commissioner at Cairo is likewise expected to furnish
Lord Iddesleigh with further and more direct infor-
mation regarding 'smell Pasha's claims, and more
especially on the impediments which prevent his ap-
pealing to any tribunal. It certainly appears mon-
strous that in a country over which we indisputably
exercise a certain amount of influence, an Egyptian,
simply because he has been the ruler of the country,
should find it impossible to enjoy the privileges ac-
corded to the lowest fellah in submitting his claims to
any tribunal. We understand that the Government
fully realise the injustice of the case, and are anxious
that the affair should not become more serious than
it is already.

AN ILLUSTRIOUS DOWAGER.

The venerable Marchioness of Westminster, mother
of the Duke, has just entered upon her ninetieth year.
She is the only surviving issue of the first Duke of
Sutherland, and is, says the World, therefore aunt to
the Duke of Sutherland, the Duchess of Leinster, and
Lord Rorald Gower. iTer surviving children, be-
sides the Duke of Westminster, are Eleanor (Dowager)
Dri,hess of Northumberland, the Countess of Maccles-
field, (Dowager) _Lady Lady
Jane Lindsay, Lady Octavia Shaw-Stewart, Lord
Stalbridge, Lady Agnes Frank, and Lady Theodora
Guest. These have in turn presented her with
about 60 grandchildren, of whom the best known
are the Marchioness of Ormonde, Lady Chesham,
Lord Parker, Lord Wenlock, the Countess of Jersey,
and Viscountess Newark. It would be difficult to
enumerate her great-grand-children ; they number
about 40, and include the youthful Earl Grosvenor,
now in his eighth year, and a child of Lady
Newark, born only last week. The portrait of the
marchioness appeared in the Royal Academy a year
or two ago, playing whist with her youngest
daughtcr, Lady Theodora, and her son-in-law, Mr.
Merthyr Guest.
