st. Martin-street is by no means one
which would be selected in ordinary times
as a residence street. 1t is inhabited prin-
cipally by the lower classes of
whites, negroes and in occasional
blocks by deDliHlOHde. The advantages
of having French woman, a former
resident of New Orleans, as a land
lady, and her assurance that. should | be
taken with the prevailing fever, she would
give up her undivided attention, induced
me to take up my abode with her at No. p
st. Martin-street
This morning early q loud rap on my
door awakened me from a short troubled
sleep-the first had in twenty-four hours
and in response to my inquiry as to what was
desired, saz is.forEsseSl by my landladiy that
she had inst discovered a house in the i'm
mediate vicinity in which were three col
Ored men-one dead, the other two delirious
with fever-and, said the kind-hearted lady,

will all be dead in an hour" Hurrying from

parently about eight years old, yellow as
gold, with lips and hands stained with the
fatal black vomit. At her side, in the same
bed, was another child, perhaps
two wears younger, with the
fire OF the terrible fever slowly but surely
consuming her young life, while the mother,
half crazed with the agony of her surround
ings, almost exhausted lay upon the floor

Father Hyacinthe and His American
W ifp


We have all along wondered III the
ecclesiastical Inconsistencies of Father
Hyacinthe in abandoning the Church
of Rome, and yet still claiming to be a
Roman Catholic priest and quite re-
moved from Professionalism. But we
had no idea that his theological aberra-
hons and isolated position rs a priest
could be followed by social embarrass-
ment regarding his marriage. To those
grim and dyspeptic old priests who crit
icised their brothers marriage more
sharply than they had his heresies, IL e
welded pair sent cards with pitying
words upon them % With tine forgive
ness OF Pere and Madame Loyson:" for
the late Pere had some time before his
marriage released him from his mo-
nastic VOWS, and when that witty Pom
tiff heard of his marriage, he said, with
a shrug, Poor man, he has taken his
punishment into his own hands.
1t would seem that the remark of Pho
Mono is another instance of the proverb
that many a true word is spoken in
Jest" The French Court of Cessation
has Just pronounced the marriage of
another priest, in 1913, to have been
null and void. and since holy orders are
indeEble. and once priest, a priest
forever" the marriage of Father and
Mrs. Loyson will be regarded as ille-
gal, and their little sons position viii
be socially unpleasant. The law seems
q hard one in the case of a priest of
good character, who conscientiously be-
lieves that marriage is lawful for him.
And il seems the harder in Father Hy-
acynthe's case, because. a. the English
Protestant Bishop of Lincoln publicly
stated, n prelate of the Roman Catho-
lie Church assisted at the marriage.
Dr. Christopher Wordsworth, the Bishop
in question, is in hearty sympathy with
Father Hyacinthe, theologically, and
was the only English prelate who at
tended the Old Catholic Conference at
Bonn

4 California Incident.

Mary Belle Low, scarcely fourteen
years of age, is a shepherdess, whose
rosy cheeks, sun-burnt face, and grace
full form as she mounts her pony, would
excite the envy of many city bellies.
Some DAYS ago, while looking after her
woolly wards, she discovered full-grown
wolf of the cayote species, stealthily ap
preaching the flock. She put her horse
to his speed, and the wolf fed. Then
there was q race over the hills and
prairie, neither showing any indication
of fatigue, and finally he was compelled
to consider himself run down." Now
came the tug of war" The little
maiden unbuckled her bride rein, and
with the ring at the end, and this only,
made good her position rs mistress of
the situation, and without alighting
from her saddle, soon disabled her foe
and saved her lambs. Then she started
for the nearest neighbor for assistance,
but found no one at home who could
assist her, save another girl, who
mounted another pony, and, armed only
with dull knife, these two girls were
soon galloping over thGsprairie to save
the scalp, for which the county pays a
" royalty" " when presented to the proper
officer. When they returned. the prin-
cipal of the Red Riding Hood escapade
had partially recovered, and was NOV
ing off. But one girl threw him down.
and the other cut his throat.

THE Italians, in their desire to create
navy, have naturally initiated English
traditions of naval management some
what indiscriminately. Among other
things they have adopted the famous
punishment of mast-heading. The heroes
of Capt. Marryatt's novels appear to
have spent considerable portion of their
lives at this uncomfortable elevation,
and a panorama of British feet at
anchor in the beginning of the century
would have been incomplete without
the introduction of some dozen or so of
Inidshipmen tipping the tapering mast
with their persons. Recently an Italian
cadet was mast-headed at Spezia in the
heat of the day, and losing his footing as
he endeavored to descend was killed.
The Captain has in consequence been
severely blamed, though if masthead
ing be prescribed in the articles of war,
the system rather than the Captain
would be to blame.

CHATHAM ISLAND is one of the places
where the sun "jumps day." and is
thus described: Chatham Island, lying
on the coast of New Zealand, in the
South Pacific Ocean, is peculiarly stu

points of the globe where the day of the
week changes. 1t is just on the line of
demarkation between dates. There high
twelve on Sunday, or Sunday noon,
ceases, and instantly Monday meridian
begins Sunday comes into a mans
house on the east side, and becomes
Monday by the time it passes out of the
western door. A man sits down to his
MONDAY dinner on Sunday, and it is
Monday before he finishes it. There
Saturday Is Sunday, and SUNDAYS Mon

A Short Interview with General
sheridan.

An Inter ocean reporter had a iiltle
chat with aforementioned sheridan
recently, and asked him regarding the
meaning and success Of the trip from
which the gallant hero Of Winchester
had Just returned. He went North, he
said, for the purpose of sleecting q site
for a new military post in Dakota. r.
order to do this. he had to examine the
country for many miles around. Great
care and prudence must be shown ia the
selection Of a site for the post, for It is
matter of great military importance,
and costs considerable money. After
reviewing the country carefully lie
selected Bear Butte, Dakota for the
site, and the military department will
construct a post there, which is to be
named BY the Secretary OF War He
had found the country in an excellent
and promising condition Crops were
in fine stafe and would give a good
yield. He was very much pleased WI h
the appearance Of the Black Hills
country. The mining Interests there
viii certainly be permanent ones, for
they are being worked with the best OF
systematic care and understanding. The
vicinity is rapidly becoming an orderly
one, and peaceable citizens are no longer
being molested. There are already one
thousand stamps in Deadwood. some oi
the mills having as many a. eighty. The
agricultural aspect of the neighborhood
is one surprising his expectations.
There are plenty Cf farms nicely cult
vated, and bearing a fine yield Of wheat,
oats, corn, rye, barley, beans, peas, pota-
toes. aud all the other vegetables which
are usually found in the Northern eli

located, but many little cities have
sprung up around it, and as each has in

4 Poorly Paid Composer.

The Irish ballads of Kathleen Ma
vourneen " and " Dermot Astore are
known wherever the English language
Is spoken; have been honored with places
in the selections of Lucca, Patti and the
other opera stars, and at the height of
their popularity had an immense run
in Ireland and England, but very few
people at this day know anything of the
composer of those melodies. Mr.. Fred
ericE William Nichols Crouch, Professor
of Music, a gentleman about sixty years
old, now living at No. 2S2 Chew street,
Baltimore, but formerly of Plymouth,
County of Devon, England, has this
week presented At the British Consulate,
i'm this city, the necessary proofs that he
was the composer of both melodies, and
in regular form has made out documents
assigning both TO John Faustone Adams,
of London, for twenty pounds, the songs
to be copyrighted at Statione-'s Hall,
London, which Is a literary patent office.
Mr.. Crouch saws " Kathleen Mavour-
neen " was first sung in public July Il,

THE correspondent of San Francisco
paper claims to have discovered Il new
lake. 1t is larger than Great Salt Lake
and more beautiful than Lake Tahoe
1t is in Nevada and is called Pyramid
Lake, from the pyramidal masses of
mari and limestone which abound in it..
Most of them are worn into fanciful
shapes by the water, and the highest,
FremOnt's, less than five hundred feet,
has boiling spring issuing from It
fifteen feet below the surface. There Is
an island in the lake six hundred feet
high and twelve hundred acres in ex-
tent, inhabited by rattlesnakes and
goats, who live on the alfilaree and the
punches of grass in the crevices, for the
island is simply a mass of rock. The
lake has no outlet, and its bottom has
never been reached by sounding. The
water is very clear and slightly brackish,
and evaporates about as fast as it flows
in There are innummerable trout in
IT. The shores are bleak and barren.
