The NEXT ROYAL CoUPLE.-Among the
newest things in our shop windows are
some admirable German photographs of
the Duke OF Connaught and the Princess
Louise Margaret of Prussia. He is 3
young man of whom much good is
spoken, and who is said to be resolved
to claim no advantage from his royal
rank, but to rise in the army from sheer
hard work and the ordinary rules of
promotion. The portrait shows a SOL
dieriy young fellow, with frank and
pleasant countenance, who would be
handsome were not his profile rather too
suggestive of George Ills retreating
forehead and disproportionately prom
inent nose, as seen still on some of the
older coinage. Otherwise there is in the
face strong resemblance to albert the
Good" The Princess looks so nearly
pretty in the colorless photograph, that
the chances are that she Is actually
pretty in the flesh. She is said to be
simple and unaffected, and not above
doing her own shopping, and carrying
her purchases home with her = London

STRUGGLE WITH A MANIAC.
From the Erie Dispatch. !


A story thrilling enough in its details
to be woven into fiction has just come
to us fresh from Fair Point, Chautauqua
Lake. On Saturday last, a rather finely
dressed and well-appearing man landed
at the Point and engaged board for
fortnight at the Palace Hotel. There
was nothing unnatural in his appearance,
nor did it seem at all remarkable when
be attended church on Sunday morning
and bowed in fervent prayer near the
altar. People noting his conspicuous
position looked with admiring wonder
upon the man who, regardless of the
sorutiniziDg vision of the whole congre-
CATION. manifested his religious zeal in
the most emphatic manner.
Monday morning the stranger
strolled out near .hs lake and there met
George Irwin. somewhat neted duck
hunter, who had just come in with his
dog and gun. The nnely-dressed stranger
atfably greeted Mr.. Irwin and asked to be
allowed to examine the gun. Mr.. Irwin
unsuspectingly handed over the weapon,
when the stranger carefully examined it.
then cooked It. and holding it toward
Mr.. Irwin. asked him how he would
rather dis-would he prefer being
drowned TO being shot? Even then the
man seemed perfectly natural. Mr.. Ir-
win regarding the question as joke,
replied that If it were necessary for him
to die right there and then, he preferred
taking turn in the water. 1t is then
that the strangers eyes glared with ma
niacal frenzy. He grappled with the
now terrified Irwin. The struggle was
desperate one. The maniac was power
full man, and with an iron grip dragged
the sportsman to the waters edge, when
the struggle for life and death became
even more desperate. Finally they both
fell into the water, and while foundering
there, some men who stood at short
distance, ran to the rescue, and were
scarcely able to release the victim from
the maniac's clutch. His clothes were
nearly all torn from his body, and he
was terribly bruised by Que brief but
| fearful encounter.
Just about this time small steamer
came up to the dock. 1t required four
strong men to put the wild maniac on
board. He was taken to Mayville and
lodged in Jail. He persistently refused
to the last to give his name, declaring as
a reason for his conduct that it was ne
cessary to sacrifice some life to the CON-
secration OF the Sunday School ground
at that place; that he had been chosen
as the instrument of death. He seemed
to talk sanely about the matter, and
regarded Mr.. Irwin as an unappreoiative
man. because, as he said, it was clearly
in his power to shoot Irwin on the spot,
whereas he had given him his choice of
death, and when about to yield prefer.
ence for worldly friends appeared upon
the scene and interfered. The affair
created considerable excitement at Fair
Point, and is the,one topic of converse.

filled with new astonishment the man-
nsr in which one generation Of women
after another bear with the encumbrance

skirts and fell up. When | went in the
streets, up or down hill, it dragged in

tail and sides of the thing up under such
circumstances. do so now, but it
makes one feel ridiculous. In fact, one
feels 30 much like a woman while doing
this. Besides, it drsgs me down with
its weight. Nor can l walk with any
freedom from the Topping of 30 many
yards OF cloth on my knees and legs.
Now, every girl after ten or twelve years
OF age goes all her life enoumbered with
I don't know how many thicknesses
thus hung in front and behind her. It's
little wonder that women should be in
ferior to men in general ability. Their
strength must be entirely used up in
forcing their bodies ahead, holding their
skirts out of puddles and avoiding falls
up and down stairs. / observe, also,
that the nearer one gets to clviliza-
ton the more Of these encumbrances
are inflicted on women. In Austria,
women work as masous on the tall
six or seven-story buildings. They
may be- seen on the lofty scaffoldings
laying brick with men, but their skirts
reach only the knee, Otherwise they
would trip and fall over. The peasant
women in the fields have free legs. And
where would ballet dancing be in long
skirts2 Or Calisthenics. or surf bathing?
Since 1 have worn an ulster, ] Am
astonished at women's stupidity in 30
long retaining eighteen unnecessary
inches OF skirt. What is it for? Are
they ashamed of their ankles? Or limbs ?
Our grandfathers were not. They walked
the earth and signed the Declaration of
Independence with ali the symmetry of
their noble calves apparent to the world.
How long is this dreadful drag on the
whole female civilized world to go on
1t cannot last forever. Calculating that
there are 45,00O.000 of grown girls and
women in the United Kingdom, France
and the United States, and thet the
average unnecessary weight of skirt worn
amounts to two pounds, we have go, ,OO0,-
00G OF needless pounds every day dragged
along the street and up stairs and down
by the skirt-wearing women OF these
countries Now, If the strength thus
uselessly expended could be saved and
worked up into intellect, we might have
many more better balanced women. Be-
cause that's what's the matter. Woman
is mans inferior, mentally and physic.

torious horse thief, was arrested on Tues
day by several colored men who had been
victims OF his roguery. He had in his
possession when caugh. shotgun and
several articles of clothing belonging to
the men who arrested him. They at
once gave him his choice to be carried to
Jail or take one hundred iashes. He
chose the latter punishment. We are
told by one who witnessed the whipping
that it was administered by three stalwart
negro men. who took turn-about. They

great way and barkv with all his might,
The alligators go there and wait for his
getting in to go across. The dog knows
what he is about. when he sees from the

all gathered to the feast, runs down the
bank as fast as he can and swims across
before the alligators are aware OF the
trick that has been played upon them"
