The Glass Of Bohemia at the Centennial.

But the display of Austrian glassware
is unmatched in any other quarter of the
building. The sight of the wonders,
done not only formerly but very recent
ly, by the glass manufacturers of b.
hemia and Austria, will inform and ele-
vate the taste of those untraveled Ameri-
cans who have boosted of paying 800
or $3.50 for set of "cut goblets and
similar prices for other crystals, which,
if placed in conti2uity to these shining
masterpieces, would look pale indeed.
Among them is an antique pitcher,
valued at $3.50, and two full services
manufactured respectively for the Duke
of Northumberland and an Austrian
nobleman, every goblet in which is
valued at $18. The designs for the en-
cravings, which are done partly by the
wheel and partly by hand, are mostly
original and of high merit, and the ex-
ecution is nearly faultless. 1t is impos-
sible to describe the effect ESQ far tran
scending that of the porcelain transpar-
encies and transfers of engravings to
glass which are familiar to Americans)
of these representations on glass of
beautiful objects. Held toward the
light they appear more finished than the
most careful bank-note engraving, and
have an effect infinitely soft and pure.
Where human figures are portrayed
there is not missing even the finest de-
tail, and in the instance of leopard, the
skill of the engraver has depicted, or
rather suggested, without in the least
exaggerating, his spots. There is mir
ror, with spirited picture of a stag and
hounds engraved on the back. against
which the quicksilver is put, throwing
the animals into seeming relief in front.
Altogether the Austrian exhibition of
glass alone is fit to arouse the interest
and even the amazement of those who
have regarded glass merely as brittle
substance to be broken by blow or cut
with diamond, knowing neither its
malleability nor its varied uses. And il
will afford the keenest pleasure to all
who are we'll informed of the PECULIAR.
ties and progress of this novel industry.

Martin is to take place at Whitneys opera
house, June o.

recent exhibition here gave us our first glimpse
Of scientific collar-and- elbow wrestling, is now
at his home in Detroit, pursuing an active
course Of training in preparation for his COM

the lips Of his taskmaster, Ben. Hogan the
Commercial is enabled to present the pro-
gramme in full. He walks, on an average,
fourteen miles per diem. Arising at a. m. he
sets out ON fve-mile heat. This completed,
a tussle with pulley-weights for an hour brings
his system into readiness for the reception of
breakfast. Then comes a little Kehoe exer-

slaught ON bean and sand bags.
Next, he tackles his trainer or any one who has
the temerity to face him with the "mittens."

tons Of the head and form, and rapid arm
movements, ensue after which rock-salt
bath, winding up with vigorous rubbing Of the

An Adventurous Career.

A San Francisco paper tells, under
the caption stranger than fiction"
what purports to be the story of the
wanderings of Col. Cronan, of the
Confederate army. A bare catalogue of
his exploits and experiences makes Mum
chausen seem possible. He was cap
tured and imprisoned in q Florida fort,
guarded by colored troops, in company
with other prisoners, rose on his guards,
making several of them prisoners, took a
small schooner, went to Cuba and sold
as slaves the colored soldiers, gambled,
was compelled to leave the island and
found his way to San Francisco, where
he earned subsistence as an instructor in
languages there he fought duel with
an ex-Confederate whom he had been
about to shoot as spy after the Wilder
ness, was badly wounded and thrown
into the water as dead, and now, fifteen
months later, tnrns up as Colonel in the
Egyptian service.

Tom.-A True Story.

We once had black and white cat
that was very fond of my sister Lucy.
His name was Tom, and as he did not
like to be petted and was not good
mouser, ne was not very great favorite
with any of us. Lucy paid him more
attention than any one else, and he re-
paid her with an affection that was quite
touching. Every afternoon at 4, when
Lucy would be coming from school,
Tom would get up in chair by the win
dow, put his fore-paws on the window
seat, and look up the street until he saw
her coming. If he could get out of the
house he would 90 to meet her if he
could not, he would watch her from the
window until she entered the yard and
then meet her at the door.
When we had had him some time O
little brother came to US, and, of course,
the baby took up all our attention. Poor
Tom was left quite out In the cold
Whenever Lucy held the baby he would
walk round and round her chair, new
ing and looking up in her face in very
piteous way. He was really jealous of
the baby One day Tom did something
we all thought quite wonderful. Lucy
had been holding the baby with his head
on her shoulder and one little arm round
her neck. AS soon as she had put him
down and seated herself again Tom
jumped into her lap and stretched him
self out, laying his head on her shoulder,
and putting one paw round her neck
just as baby had done. He seemed to
! be trying to say, "There, it that is all
you want, can do it as well as that
good-for-nothing babyl !" Poor Tom
I'm afraid We only loved the baby more
and more. After while he seemed to
get over his jealousy, but it was hard
trial at first, and I think he never quite
liked the baby. From that time he dis.
liked petting more and more, and finally
became 80 wild that he would allow nc
one to touch him.-G. ID. p, in Ne,t

Singular Tragedy.

Willie Fl. Perkins, aged eleven, was
shot and killed at his mothers door, in
San Francisco, under the following cir
cumstances (: The boy, his mother, and
n man named Jack Connors, who lodged
in the house, were sitting upon the porch
when man passed by wearing very
peculiar hat. The boy, who was feeling
very happy, called out, "Oh, what a
hat" The man stopped, came back and
started up the steps, the mother says,
with the intention of Furnishing the boy.
Connors started up and interposed him
self between the two. On the further
advance of the intruder Connors pushed
him back, meantime drawing his pistol
from his pocket. The man started for
the boy the third time, when Counors
struck at him with the pistol, which was
discharged, burying the contents in the
breast of the boy, who was standing di-
rectly behind. The ball struck the little
fellow in the right breast, just above the
nipple. He fell to the floor, but imme-
diately got up and staggered into his
mothers arms, exclaiming, "Oh mother,
I'm shotl" With this remark he fell
forward, being caught by one of the
dodgers, and, giving gasp, died. GO

Murder VI an Aged Lady Up Her Insane
80 Daughter. Tf q $50 r.


A most horrible human butchery has
come to light at the village of Evon,
some thirty miles west of this city. The
victim is Mrs. Sallie Faddis, lady up
ward of seventy, who owned and lived
on farm of eighty acres near the vii
lage aforementioned. Her only house
mate was daughter about twenty years
OF age, and of prepossessing appearance,
and on this farm the girl had lived from
childhood to maturity. Some years ago
she exhibited symptoms of insanity, and
at her own request was sent to an asylum
for the insane at Pittsburgh. Here,
with good care, she rapidly recovered,
and some months since returned to
Evon, apparently sane. Nothing more
was thought of her disease until few
days ago, when the prolonged absence
of Mrs. Faddis excited remark among
the neighbors, and search of the house
was instituted, and every nook and cor
ner explored without finding any sign
of either of the inmates. When about
to depart the sides of one of the rooms
was noticed to be old-fashioned panel
ing, but no break could be seen where
there could be a door. However, at
tention was called away to bed propped
up. BY lowering the bed the door to a
secret closet was discovered, and this
entered. Suddenly the searchers were
Mortified by their hands coming in con-
tact with dead body, which proved to
be that of Mrs. Faddis. The body had
been thrown in behind an old trunk
which was lying in the closet. Bringing
it out into the light of the room q terri
BILE butchery was discovered to have
been committed. The face was barely
recognizable, having been cut and
slashed horribly, probably by an ak.
The throat was cut In one or two places,
the windpipe, however, not having been
severed. There was deep cash on one
shoulder, the form of which showed al
most conclusively that the instrument
of death had been an AK. The legs also
were cut and chopped in the same man
ner, but the strangest part of all was
the fact that the body was perfectly free
from blood, which must have been ali
washed away before the corpse was put
in the closet. The daughter, Rachel,
was found short distance from the
house, and Immediately brought in and
shown the body. She said at first it
was not that of her mother, but finally
said that Ward, son-in-law, had taken
her mother away on Sunday, and that
was the way he had brought her back.
This was all she had to say about the
matter. She was arrested and taken to
Jail, where she remains.-Pittsburgh

Gone to the Centennial.

A New York paper relates the follow
ing story One of the strangest stories
that ever beguiled winters night was
that of the disappearance of stone
house in London while its owners were
journeying in the Holy Land. This
could scarcely happen in these days of
telegraph and steam. Neighbors who
saw the great gate taken away, the fur
niture removed, and every brick and
stone carried off in broad daylight, never
imagined the workmen were robbers,
and so did not interfere. But, that
strange things happen in New York as
well as in London, was demonstrated
beyond doubt this spring. On that
part of Fifth avenue which faces Central
park, an expensive brown stone front
house, in a nearly unoccupied block, was
rented by q SNOWY man calling himself
Capt.. 1t was furnished thoroughly
and elegantly by some downtown up
holsterers, pictures, bronzes, etc., were
added, great hampers of wines and pro-
visions were brought, an ice man, a
butcher, baker, and grocer were engaged,
and the whole establishment ready for
its occupants. An old gentleman, a
neighbor, with nothing else to do.
amused himself by looking at the con.
tents of the house, and one day pene.
trated the kitchen, where he found
plumbers taking out the range, who said
the Captain didn't like it, and had or.
dered a different patent" The family
failed to come for fortnight, the ice
man, the butcher, baker, and grocer
came for orders. but found M c,stop,
ers. Finally the neighborly old gentle
man told policeman he thought there
was something wrong about that house.

The boy sobbed nightly, but stood
still. "Stand there till i let you go, :"
commanded Trudie. Then she broke
one of her own flowers for him, and also
went into her pocket. Hold your

Sobbing and with hidden face, the
small ragamuffin held up his hand, and
Trudie poured into it stream of pen

she lis because you like pretty things.
The rest is to pay you for being struck. :"
The tawny little hand dashed tine
"pay" to the ground. Z" can't be paid

fearful eyes, and cleaning with them at

"Whats all this?" asked mamma,
coming down the walk.
Hearing the story, she went outside
and barred the beaten arm. There was
a frightful lump on the soft black baby
flesh. She looked up at her little sol
der ruefully, and he ran of.
She took the child in, and bathed the
bruise with camphor, picked him gor-
geous bouquet, and sent him home with
various admonitions and tendernesses.
Then she waited for Dorr to come.
BY and by he came, He was still
without his sword. He rushed to her,
as she turned at the sound of the little
footstep, and tumbled into her arms
head first.
"Mamma," he said, ct have martial

but he wouldn't strike me. Then l
thought what you said bout kisses for
blows, but he wouldn't kiss me but 1

and asked him to come to play-and-
well, mamma, haven't got any sword
no more |"
The little heart heaved but mamma
Rugged him close, and shed glad tear
to think her teaching had had its effect
as well as papa's.
"My kind of battles are very hard,
much harder to be fought than papa s, I"
she said, "and Dorr is drawer than if he
had killed hundred men."- Wide

A New Idea in Boots

The English Patent Journal describes
a combination of foot-warming appa-
ratus with boot. The heel of the boot
is of metal, and hollow, and contains a
supply of artificial fuel. The heat from
this is made to pass through channels in
the inner sole, part of which is placed
upon a spring, so that the action of the
foot in walking acts like bellows, draw
ing in the cold air by an aperture in the
heel and driving the heated air into the
boot. A modification of the apparatus
can, we are told, be applied to horse
shoes.
