Spencerian Pens are famous for
their elasticity of movement, smooth
ness of poinC and great durability,

the real Swan Quill Pen than any,

From the New York Herald.
Francis W. Brooke, OF IA Broad
way, was arraigned before Judge
Bowling at the Tombs Police Court
yesterday, charged with being an
accomplice to the stealing Of $50, 900
worth of bonds from Carlotta +.
Shotwell.
Miss Carlotta f. Shotwcll is
lady about twenty-seven years of
age, of dark complexion, hazel-eyed
and most expressive features. She
has wealth Of purplish black
hair, and during conversation the
languishing glance of her melting
eye fascinated even the stern mag.
istrato on tho bench.
Miss Shotwell, who was attired
in an elegant black silk dress
with fur mantle, after tho manner
of the daughter of a Hungarian
magnate, is evidently woman Of
clairvoyant powers, and rejoices in
her spiritualistic knowledge. She
told very long circumstantial sto-
ry to Judge Dowling, the subject
of which, according TO hcr state
mcnt was as fellows: ..f
On the 18th of December, 1873,
she was in New York, and was in
troduced to a man named George
A. Everett, at the Grand Central
Hotel, by J. Styels Amour. To
him she made known that she was
about to leave New York to go to
Alabama, for the purpose of get
ting somo bonds of the Selma and
Gulf Railroad from Gen. 2. ID.
Roddy, of that State, with whom
she had two contracts for the de-
livery of the bonds of that Road
to the amount of 100000, which
bonds were worth about twenty
five per cent. on their face. Ever
cit, she says, told her if she would
go South, by the way of Chicago,
he would furnish her passes over
the entire route, as he had a good
deal of influence with railroad Off
cials and could easily procure them.
The journey to Chicago was
made in company with Everett,
who was very attentive to his lady
company-got ont at every station
and brought her broiled chicken
and oyster soup, and sometimes
fried oysters, and was constantly in
attendance to keep her well wrap
ped up against the various dranghts
that penetrate a railroad ear.
On this train was conductor

was naturally jealoas, and warned

To Young Men,

1t is easier to DO a good business
man than poor one. Halfthe en-.
ergy displayed in keeping ahead
that it requires to catch up when
behind will save credit, give more
time TO business, and add to the
profit and reputation Of your word.
Honor your engagements. If you
promise to meet man, or do u GER
tain thing be ready at the appoint
cd time. IF you have work to do,
do it at once, cheerfully, and there.
fore moro speedily and correctly.
If you go out on business, bo found
there when wanted. No man can
get rich by sitting around stores
and saloons. Never "tool' on bu-
siness matters. If you have to Ia
Dor for a living, remember that one
hour in the morning is worth two
at night. If you employ others,
beon hand and see that they attend
to their duties, and to direct with
regularity, promptness, liberality.
DO not meddle with any business
that you know nothing Of. Never
buy any article simply because the
man who sells it will take it out in
trade. Trade is money. Time is
money, A good business habit and
reputation is also money. Make
your business pleasant and attrac-
tive; then stay there to wait on
customers.
Never use quick words, or allow
yourself to make hasty or ungentle-
manly remarks to those in your
employ; for to do so lessons their
respect for You and your influence
over them. Help yourselfa and 9TH
crs will help you. Be faithful over
the interests contided to your keep
ing, and all in good time your re.
sponsiblities will be increased
Do not be in too great haste to get
rich. Do not build until you have
laid and arranged a good tounda,
ton. Do not, as you hope for sue
cess, spend time in idleness. If
your time is your own, business
will suffer if you do. 1fit is given
to another for pay, it belongs to
him and you have no more right to
steal that than to steal money. Be
ob!iging. Strive to avoid harsh
words and personalities. Do not
kick every stone in your path
more miles can be made in day by
going steadily along than by stop
ping to kick. Pay as you go. A
man of honor respects his word as
he docs his bond. Ask, but never
beg. Help others when you can,
but never give when you cannot af-
ford TO, simply because it is fashion
able. Learn to say no. No neces-
sity of swapping it out dog.fashion,
but say it respe cfully. Have but
few confidents, the fewer the better
Use your own brains rather than
those of others. Learn to think
and act for yourself. Be vigilant.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
time. Decide upon some particu-
lar employment, and porsevere in
it. Make up your mind to accom-
plish what you undertake. All diff
ficulties are overcome by diligence
and perseverance.

Mrs. Burr died of cancer, in tho
spring of 1194-in time to escape
the abuse and ignominy which
were destined 80 soon to blast her
husbands name forever. When
the grave opened for her, Bnrrs
star was high in the heavens; ten
years alterward it set in eternal
night on the heighths Of Weehaw-
ken. The bullet which killed Ham
ilton annihiated Burr Better, in
finitely better for him had the light

tho fatal trigger.

ond Mrs. Burr-was born it is said
in Providence about the year l775.
Her mother was q prostitute, and
the daughter seems to have follow

profession. Sho was for several
years a servant in the family of
Major Reuben Ballou, and while
there gave birth-October 9, 1894
Ito George Washington Bowen,
the plaintiff in the suit now pend

the father of the child, and took no
pains to relieve himself from the
burden of tho unwelcome honor.
Soon after arriving at the dignity
of maternity, Betsy left Providence
and went to parts unknown, leaving
tho child in charge Of Ballou. Sew
eral years later she returned, bring

been living with during the inter

duly deposited in the earth, and his
widow or mistress, fingered about
the city for somo time and then
went to New York, where by
means never explained, she man
aged to marry Stephen Jumol, a
wealthy French merchant. This
was in 1904. In 1916 the Jumels
went abroad and lived in great
splendor in Paris until 1922, when
they returned to New York some
what poorer than when they left,
but still rich enough for all reason
able purposes. A story is current
that Madame Jumel attempted to
deliver u lecture in Providence on
tho French court, but being threat
ened with a mob was compelled to
abandon her supremacy impudont

of Burr's life. Madame Jumel died |

A New WAY TO Light CASA
now method of lighting gas has
been invented by Mr.. J. Ellington
Booth, of Preston. BY this meth
cd street lamps can be lighted 81.
multancously from any distance.
The apparatus constituting the in
ventior, the Preston Chronicle tells
US, looks like u moderately sized
globular inkstand of glass, sur
rounded by q tube Of the same ma
terial, with y metallic top. BY
scrcwing off the burner it can bo
very easily attached to any lamp,
chandelier, pipe or ordinary gas
jet. The base or globular portion
is well filled with deep red col
ored liquid, so cheap that three
penny worth will serve the lamp
for year. Over tho liquid and
within the glass tube there is
plate of zinc, with apiece of graph
ite or gas coal, and between these
and n thin coiled platinum wire,
fixed over the cup Of tho general
vessel, into which q gas burner is
inserted, galvanic communication
is obtained. Ignition is thus ef-
fected: A pipe is screwed to tho
top of the gas pipe, pressure on
the gas in this pipe causes n stimuli
tanoous depression upon the chcmi-
cal solution which occupies lower
level in two side tubes; the gas oc
cupies the vacuum caused By the
displaced liquid, and then ascends
to chamber connected with tho
burner, while displaced liquid is
pressed into two side tubes effect
ing contact with the zinc and
graphite, and generating galvanic
activity. This is communicated to
the platinum wire, and excites its
catalytic power; the wire being
then exposed to the ascending jet
of sgas, immediate ignition takes
place,

Letter from Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 4, 1873.
Editor Dallas Herald:
Il letter from kentucky will
probably not prove unintcresting
to your many readers. AS the bash
ful young man, when he visits his
sweetheart first enquiries Of her as
to the weather, so will | commence
by telling you that we have had
the coldest weather that has been
felt for many years. All our peo-
pie have gathered their ice-some
gathered as early as the middle of
November. The thermometer has
been rs low as 100 below zero. The
weather chroniclerS swear by all
the bourbon that is good, that it
has been the severest winter they
have had for 10 these many days.
You will observe that we write
from Lexington. What recollec'
tions have the people ofthe United
States of this place? AS we write
wo are midway between his resi-
dence and his grave. On the one
side of us we look, and our imagi-
nation carries us back to tho proud
old days of our Republic. We look,
and looming up in the dim, irrevo-
cable past arises the noble form of
Kentuclsy's patriot, Henry Clay.
That Clay, who in Congress an
nounced that he would rather be
right than President" That Clay
who, by honest and successful la
Dor, raised his reputation and carv-
cd his namo upon tho highest pima
Gle of fame. That Clay, who, to-
day, if he were living, how differ
cnt would be the condition of our
bleeding country. How have the
great men departed Could the
prayers OF our unhappy people pre-
vail, there would be a generation OF
just such men as Clay opening up
in our midst, and they would send
their loud appeals through the halls
of Congress, and again restore the
long lost rights of our people.
We look on the other side of US,
and there we behold the consum.
nation of mans energies and
works-the grave. The towering
monument which points heaven
ward seems to say, "this is your
final reward be ye always ready"

cs, and was told "No," but on
/ ticket presented by Everett. Oh
arriving at Chicago Everett wa
more than usually attentive. IL,
escorted Miss Carlotta to break fas
and introduced her subsequently
to his wife and children.
Miss Shotwell then went out t.
take n drive with the Everett fami
", and on her return she found hel
trunk broken open and all her pa
pcrs gone. The papers comprised
bonds ofagreemcnt to deliver bond'
OF the Selma and Alabama railroad
in the State of Alabama, amounting
to $50, 900, and also number o.
other private papers belonging tc
the lady herself, and which she con
siders libellous.
Miss Carlotta F. Shotwell placed
tho case in the hands Of Detective
p. D. Tyrell, Of Chicago. Everett
was arrested and brought before
the Criminal Court there and held
under S75 900 bail to answer. Ev-
erett communicated to Tyrell that
the papers were in the possession
OF Francis W. Brooke, of New
York city, but that he (Everett)
had nothing to do with the rob-
berry.
Miss Shotwcll and Detective Tyr
rcll came to Now York together.
An application was made before
Judge Bowling, at the Tombs Po-
lice Court, Wednesday afternoon,
for the arrest of Francis W. Brooke.
Irhc warrant was issued and placed
in the ,h.::pds Of Sergeant Quinn. At
half,past four Mr.. Brooke was ar
rested at ~ broadway.
Yesterday afternoon the formal
complaint was taken before HIS
Honor Judge Bowling. Miss Shot
well appeared in the full panoply
o. her charms, radiant with jewel
ry, principally rubies and pearls,
which studded her bcauteous throat
or hung pendant from her we'll
shaped ears. Brooke looked at tho
complainant in u peculiar manner,
and, us it was aftcrward ascertain
cd, they had been friends of some
five years standing, and knew each
other in many different vicissitudes
of life.
Brooke is what might be called
a handsome man, about five feet
ten inches in height, large, full,
dark eyes, dark complexion, rogu-
lar features and black mustachc.
lie is u man of portly bearing,
about thirty-six years of age, and
is well known in New York among
what is called "men about town"
There is u peculiar phase in this
case which will probably be dcvcl-
opcd on its future trial. The COM
plainant is young lady ofpccul-
lar attractions and fascinating in
the extreme, and has for some time
among the mostprominent
politicians in Washington, and was
the originator of u company called
"Thc Automatic Ship Ventilator,
Fog Alarm and Whistle Company"
The mem 5ers Of this Company were
Gen. p. d. Roddy, W. F. Myers,
Francis w. Brooke and others. She
also claims to be q member of "The
American Seal Lock Company"
Francis W. Brooke was held by
Justice Bowling in $4,000 bail TO
answer. Ex-Judge Cardozo, who
demanded an examination ycster-
day, will appear for him to-day.
Mysterious developments, affecting
prominent persons in this city, are
expected to cxude from this pecul-
lar case.

A WISE PLAN.-To be sure soft
answer turns away wrath-in some
cases. But absolute silence is even
more efficacious. A Spanish wri-
ter tells of q woman who bad been
very frequently beaten by her hus-
band, who asked surgeon what
remedy he could give her to pre-
vent SO much pain and misery to
herself. The surgeon gave bottle
of spring water, and advised her
whenever her husband came homo
in a passion she should fill her
mouth with this physic, and keep
it there so long as her husband
was angry. The cure was perfect
and complete. And this supplies
another proof of tho destructive
power of words. There arc words
which separate hearts sooner than
sharps words there are words
whose sting can remain in the heart
through q whole life. Therefore,
think always before you speak, and
speak in love, or be silent.
