TIL" Inconsistency OF Woman is ::
E;v"ri,' tI,r:n; with Gym ii Bachelors,
aal when ca:a' /, boa ut to the sur

subject, h wv t!:: d. roll the precious
mnrS, | unl,r their Tongues. Now We
will g Sc two e;sS>; rv, an>l r,,n. and DC
eide th;s much vvxrl opposition on a
tir mathematical basis. This from u
pittsburgh paper:
Samuel Eddy. ON being Released

and she was won by the fellow who
had imposed en- Sam during his alb

and started off whisllinS comic air,
AS unconccrncd as if he had only lost

This case will he regarded as an cx-

Now the mathematical deduction to

The Death OF Thomas EMing.

Thomas Ewing died at Lancaster,
Ohio, recently. Mr.. Ewing was born
in Ohio county, Virginia, December
%, 1899. He entered the United States
Senate from Ohio in 1881, acting with
the wings and taking a prominent part
in the debates on the removal of the
deposits from the United States Bank
In 1886 he introduced bill to annul
the instructions issued by Mr.. Wood
bury, Secretary Of the Treasury, direct
ing receivers in land offices to accept
payments only in coin or Treasury GER
tifcates, except from certain classes OF
persons during a limited time The
bill excited violent debate, and was de-
feated. His term expired In March,
and he resumed the practice of his pro-
fession.
In the presidential campaign of 1910
he supported General Harrison, and
when that gentleman came into power
he appointed Mr.. Ewing Secretary of
the Treasury. In 1S49 President Tay-
lor appointed him Secretary of the In
terror, and in 1880 he was appointed by
the Governor of Ohio to serve Mr.. Cor
WINS unexpired term in the Senate. In
1854 he retired from public life, and re-
sumed the practice of law.
1t is not generally. known that Gen
eral Sherman, when a boy, was adopt
ed by Mr.. Ewing. The mem bers of
the bar at Lancaster knew very well that
Judge Sherman had left no adequate
provision for his large family, and 1T
was agreed among them that some of
the children should be educated and
supported by the legal brethren of the
deceased parent. In accordance with
this arrangement, Mr.. Ewing, then in
the prime OF his reputation as great
lawyer and statesman, decided to adopt
one Of the boys. At the age Of seven
teen, Sherman, through the influence
of Mr. Ewing, was admitted to the
West Point Academy, and, in 1850, he
was married to the daughter of his
friend and patron.

Death Of Promising son of Roger A..
Pryor.
From the N. Y. Sun, Goth.

Yesterday morning body found
floating in the East River, off Atlantic
street, was identified as Theodore
Bland Pryor, who has been missing
since Sunday the 18th. A Sun report
er called later in the day at the resi-
dence of Major General Roger A.
Pryor, father of the deceased YOUTH
at 157 Willow street, Brooklyn. Gen.
Pryor said that on the morning of the
10Th young Pryor, who had been study
ing closely, complained ofnot being we'll.
He was found to have a high fever, ac-
companied with ague. The young man,
however, clunS to his books, and when
at last he was persuaded to abandon
house to take stroll, SO he said, and
cool off, He was never seen again I'M
til yesterday. Young Pryor was
about twenty years of age, possessed OF
brilliant attainments and high moral
culture. He entered Princeton College
in 1868, and IN 1870 graduated with
such honors as had never been attained
in that institution but by Aaron
Burr, nearly century ago
His grade was 500, and the
examining professor declared that the
examination which he passed almost
challenged belief. He gained the Jay
Cooke Mathematical Fellowship, that
alone was open to him. In September,
1870 he went to the University of Cam
bride, England, and in single year
won every prize and the only scholar
ship which was open to him Young
Pryor studied hard after his return
from England, and it is thought that
his too Jealous application to books i'm
paired his reason, and that in Il fit of
alteration he drowned himself. A con-
fusion was discovered ON the body, I'M
der the left eye.

Lies she who stood but yesterday alone.

TO lit The glory Of Aladdins court,
Then lose the spell that all that wonder wrought
Like her own prairies in one brief day grown,
Like her own praries in one fierce night mo~n.
She lifts her voice, and in her pleading call
We hear the CRY Of Macedon to Paul
The cry for help that makes her kin TO all.
But happy with wan fingers may she feel
The silver cup hid in the proffersd meal
The gifts her kinship and our love reveal.

Another Fasting Girl.

Another fasting & RI has turned up in
England. She is the daughter of a re-
spectacle miner living near Tresayean
Mine, West Cornwall, She Is stated to
have lain on couch IN a darkened
room for nearly nine months, only be-
ing moved for change of linen. Dur
ing this time she has been an almost
fetal abstainer from solid or liquid
food for several weeks she has drank
nothing beyond a tablespoonful OF
brandy with about rs much water, not
withstauding which the girl has lost
but very little flesh She is one OF n
family of eighteen. of whom eleven are
living. At times she is cheerful, but III
the presence OF strangers she IS very
nervous.

stoutlv she resisted. When her as
sailants found that she could not be
subjected to their purposes by main
strength, the weapon was used, and one
or two terrible blows must have laid
her low. Traces OF blood proved that
she must nave been severely wounded
there In the struggle the nail of one
of the fingers of her left hand was COM
pletely bitten off, and marks of teeth
of the finger on which she wore ring
were plainly visible There is no evil
dence that she was thrown down in the
street, but she must have been carried
or pushed along to point some fifty
feet to the southwark, the blood
streaming from her head into the dust.
Then she was pushed or pulled through
the fence, and left in a condition
altogether too horrible for descrip-
ton. Her clothes were almost torn Oft
from her. There were three distinct
blows upon her skull, which caused
what are known as '.star" fractures
one on the back of the head, one upon
the forehead, and the third over the
left temple. To cOnsumnate their hor-
rid work the villains took a large stone
weighing at least twenty pounds, and
crushed in the side of her head. Ii
their object was to murder it was need
less, but it was the murderors' satisfac-
ton. All the facts would seem to war
rant the conclusion that more than one
person must have been concerned in
the affair, for never was murder more
horribly, forcibly done.
The iron wrench, with clotted blood
and hair still sticking to it, was carried
to the police station, and during the
day was seen by large number of per
sons. 1t is fifteen inches long, weighs
two pounds, and looks as if it might
have been carried for weapon Of as
sault. On the handle Irvine was tied
in way to be slipped over the wrist,
SO that the wrench could be held like a
billy. 1t was wrapped up in paper an
old copy OF the Helena, Arkansas, Cla-
rion--as if for concealment. and the
paper was tied up with white Irvine.
None but a murderer would ever har-
Dor such a savage weapon, and for any
man to be found with it on his person
would be enough to warrant suspicious
of bloodthirsty crimes. Any clue to
its origin will be of the utmost import
ance as evidence in the case.

An Imperial Appeal to the Gar.

The new Benapartist paper, L'Ordre,
publishes the following letter, written
by the Empress Eugene to the Emper-
or Russia after the disaster of Sedan.
HASTINGS, Sept 30, 1870.
SIRE; A fugitive from my country,
| now write to your Majesty. If had
a few days since, when the destinies of
France were still IN the hands of the
authority constituted by the Emperor,
taken the same step, | should, perhaps,
have appeared in the eyes of your
Majesty as entertalng doubts OF the
real strength of my country. The last
events give me liberty to act, and | may
appeal to your Majestv's heart. If |
have rightly understood the reports
made by our Ambassador, General Fleu-
ry, your Majesty would q pri0rj
repudiate the ultimate ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of France. Sire, fate has been against
us the Emperor is prisoner and ma
ligned. Another Government has I'M
dertaken the task which we considered
1t was our duty to perform. | now be-
seech your Majesty to use your lntlu-
ence to bring about the conclusion of
an honorable and lasting peace when
the right moment shall come May
France find in your Majesty, whatever
may be its Government, the same dis
position which you have displayed to-
ward us III those bitter trials Such IS
the prayer l address to You. | beg
Your Majesty, therefore, to keep this
communication secret, which your gen
erous spirit will readily understand.
and to which | am impclled by the col
lection OF your MWesty's sojourn in

The Proposed international Horse Race.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.-ln reference to
the proposed international match $50
600 n side between the English horse
Sterling and the American horse Harry
Bassett, notice of which appeared in
the Tribune of Saturday last, Col Nc
Daniels, the owner of Bassett, states
that, when Mr.. Matthew Dawson of
Newmarket first proposed the match IN
question, last June, to Mr., Is. Ct.
Bruce of the Turf, Field and
Farm, he offered to run
it in America this fail, provided the
stakes were sufficiently large to induce
Sterling's owner 10 bring him over
here. Col McDaniels then agreed to
make the race for go, 600 or $50, 600 a
side, on the terms proposed, but no re-
ply was vouch4fed to his letter. He
wiz however, run Harry Bassett against
Sterling / miles, equal weights, for
$50, 600 side, or larger amount, and
allow $40, 600 for the race to come of
ut Saratoga next summer; but he will
not run in England. He Will also
agree TO make a second match for n
similar sum at two miles or two mile
heats. as the owner of Sterling may
prefer, to be run over the same course.
