Anna MCGOWAN is one Of those kind o. women
whom nature has profasely endowed withmusclei

Gle, with its external dressing Of pale white mem
brane, but obdursts active, energetic muscle sus-

woman, with broad features, broad shoulders and
an exceedingly broad expression to her counte-
nance, fun Of life and energy, with no small de-
gree Of clear grit If clear grit means pluck Anna
tolls IN the Treasury Department, and, like many
another Of the human rec che has been sOr ely
fairness Of her character. She ferreted out the
source from whence flowed these grim and blight
ing ruTors and iTmsaistsiy detsEmnsd to d fCy
the Police Court, but didn't ind It at home. The
business Of the day had closed, and nothing was
heard ssEe now and then the dismal howl Of some
lonely law-breaker, Gagged in one Of the pits be-
low. Retracing her steps, she filled her sails for
that branch Of Justice commonly called the magis-
trste's court. But here again she was foiled, and
tice had hid itself away and could nowhere be
found. She paused 0 moment at the threshold Of
this place and pondered we'll. A woman makes
character and reputation are at stake. 4 moment
was spent IN forming plan, and then, turning
suddenly upon her heels she darted down the
for an Instant and coming out with qnieiened
pace and more determined mien, while from her
hand glossy, brand-nsu breeding strap swung
gently to the breeze. She hurried around the
corner. About ten minutes after this she was Sc
going rapidly up the steps Of the Federal build
ing. She vas mad at this juncturs, and still at
wSo . aoa i ysS IKE to s.s,a .itsd servant
who stood In the door. , ~ -. -.
"Ann shililngs" was all she said, and then
passed quickly in.
Mrs. Ann ShiIlings, an elderly-looking lady.
soon made her appearance In the hall, aud asked
Miss MCGOWAN If she was the individual she
wanted to see. "If you are Ann Shillings yoa
are the woman want" abe remarked IN firm
tome land l want to know what right you have
to rob me Of my good name, which is more pre-
cious TO me than all the world besides" Mrs.
Shillings replied. THAT if she would 20 up into
her chamber she could explain the vhois affair"
Anna refused to 20. Mrs. Shillings then said
shat she would notqusrrel with her In the hall"
and turned TO go away. Here 10 where the strap
came in. Anna didn't 20 to work as though she
had been in the habit of strapplng naughty little
boys. Her blows had more Of o tendency to an
initiate than punish. They fell thick and fast,
until Mrs. Shillings filled the hall with her
cries for help, and sank exhausted to
the floor. Then Anna coolly doubled up the strap,
adjnsted her bonnet, and galked quietly out.
The afterpiece WIS enacted in the Police Court,
where both parties appeared with an array OF
and after aVprolonged trial, during
which Mrs Shillings faintsd, the court rendered

$40, PROFESSOR HERMANN.
Two more nights only remain of Herrmann,s
delightful entertainments, which should be
damned to the doors. No other performance de-
serves SO much the patronage Of our citizens. 1t
combines innocent mirth and with that much
food for sober thought. We are past the dark
ages, and only expect our sight TO become faint
ness Hermann can neither seen or learn, and so
rapidly and surprisingly is every act performed
that we are at loss to comprehend one twen-
tieth Of what Is transpirinK in our midst. If we

but having been so wonderfully deceived we must
