BEAUTY SEEKING A FORTUNE.
A Lot of Applicants for the Prize for Female
loneliness.
From the Philadelnhia Press

A Lot of Applicants for the Prize for Female
LONELINESS.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Some twenty five pretty, vain, and ro-
mantle young ladies have responded to
Adam Forepaugh's offer of $1,000 for the
loveliest lady in the land, and as these are
mostly from near by places, it is fair to pre-
sumo that by the time the mails come in
from more remote points there will be col
lected photographs enough to form, in the
language of circus advertiser the grand
est aggregation of female loneliness ever
Witnessed.
Eyes, said Charles H. Day, of the Fore
paugh show yesterday in conversation
with press reporter, Il have received about
twenty-five responses, and such varied
collection of letters you never saw, big let.
tiers, little letters, white letters, pink letters,
blue letters, yellow letters, chocolate colored
letters, wide letters, narrow letters, thick
letters, thin letters, sweet scented letters,
letters written in blue. black, pink, and
every other color of ink; letters written
prettily. cutely, badly, horribly, illegibly,
and in every other way"
"Well, how about the photographer" in
terrupted the reporter.
''Oh! there were some good faces among
were bad lot, and am afraid that not one
of them stands chance for the prize. We
have only heard from points near Philadel-
phia and New York. Just wait till we re-
ceive the photographs of the Kentucky blue
grass bellies, the beauties of Baltimore, and
the big footed girls of Chicago. Then you
will see an indispensable collection of fe-
male beauty. Look at that" continued Mr..
Day, pointing to penny valentine of a hid
eously ugly woman, bearing the title: ''The
Prettiest Girl i'll Town" 1T came from
New York yesterday, with the request to
consider it the illustrated shadow of an APP
plicant for the $4,000 prize. Feeling as
sured that she had no chance to capture it, I
tackled her upon the wall"
Don't you think that most of the re-
sponses to your offer will come from ballet
girls and female subordinates in theaters?
ventured the reporter.
Il have no doubt that we will receive
many from such sources, but also expect
to hear from persons outside of the profess
sion. 1t would not surprise me to receive
photographs from Vassar college. The
girls are SO vain, you know. It's natural
feminine weakness. Every girl thinks she
is pretty. I suppose you know that we
want this lovely woman to appear in our ORR
entail street pageant dressed as princess
1t don't matter if she has big feet, or is era
zy, so that she has apretty face. 1t is a
question of beauty, not brains. Why, sir,
this woman, whoever sheis, will make her,
fortune Already we have two prominent
photographers offered to pay heavy royal
ties for selling her picture, but we will at
tend to that ourselves and pocket the mon
ey. The offer stands open till March 81 land
tin the meantime can only say, good luck
to the fortunate one."

A Georgia EDITORS Tribute to His Wife,

From the Gainesville (Ga) Express.
There is little brown eyed, enthusiasts
tic, high spirited lady, who, after she had
cooked breakfast, cleared the things away,
set the house to rights, attended the call Of
the bread wagon, and MIXED the COW, dons
her hat and cloak, comes into this Office,
yanks us out Of the editorial easy (Dchair,
pounces on the exchanges, alnputates every
item of interest, stacks them, on the copy
hook, grabs up Faber, travels it over a

her snowy white apron, shoyes up her
sleeves, grabs stick, and rule and sets it all
every error. That's our wife, and she
will get her reward in heaven" The lady
referred to in the above was Miss Ella

We are decidedly against calling upon

A SMALL EXODUS,
south CarolInians Migrating 10 New
York.

Last night there passed through this
city, via the Pennsylvania Railroad a select COM
pany Of gentlemen well. known in South Carolina,
but who for some time to come will be located in
Albany, N. Y. The party was composed OF Lewis
r. Redmond, John Moore, and WI Kelly, and for
fear they might change their minds and step
OF before reaching their destination they were
accompanied by United States Marshal A. Blythe
aud two deputies, all Of the Palmetto State, but
who will return afer the trio first named wear the
regulation uniform Of the Auburn penitentary,
where they will be lncarcerated for different terms
for violation OF the United States revenue laws
The head devil of the group is Redmond, whose
reputation Is national. He Is twcnty-six years
OF age, about FIVE feet ten inches high, slim
build, with black hair and moustache, and
looks anything butthe desperate he isrepresented
He has been violating the revenue laws for seven
or eight years and during that time has killed one
mnn-Deputy Marshal Duckett, In Swayne County,
North Carolina, in ls75-and wounded several in
Pickens and Greenvillo Counties, South Carolina,
TO say nothing OF the amount OF liquor he has
illioitly distilled and the other ofenses he has com.
mltted. He was arrested in Plokcns County last
April by posse Of deputy mnrshals, who saw him
in an open field, armed with his double barrel
gum and who fred upon him without ceremony,
inilicting seven wounds one in the back and the
others In the legs. Redmond did not return the
fire, but ran until he fell, and was captured He
was tried I'm the United States Court, convicted,
and sentenced to ten years hard labor at Auburn
As result of the wound In one OF his legs, he is
compelled to walk on crutches, but intends, as
soon as he lands in Auburn, 10 ask to be
sent to tho hospital, the South Carolina doctors
having told him that when winter sets in his leg
can be completely cured and straightened. He
has wife md three children living in North
Carolina. Moore is n red-moustached, rough
looking mountOiueor about forty years old, who,
in addition toviolating the law by making whisky,
has been in numerous skirmishes with the OFF,
cials, and about two years ngo shot one OF them,
but not fatally. His sentence is for three years
and eight months Kelly is about thirty years Of
age, smooth faced and quiet looking. As he has
not much reputation for being a bad man. and
never even shot anybody, he was only sentenced
for two years and eight months He has wife
and two children. They travel without the or
dinary ornaments in the shape Of handouts, mp.
pear to take things easily, and while waiting for
the train sat in the depot last night and smoked
cheap cigars with rs much apparent relish as q re-
porter smokes his Regina.

Secretary Of the Navy Hunt and Commander

Of Friday evening and THE REPUBLICAN and Post
Of Saturday morning, and in the presence of the
gentlemen named, and ofLieutenant Merry execu.

Innate to Commander Kellogg that he would re-

speak to the Secretary In Commander Kclloggs
behalf; Secretary Hunt did change his mind on
Saturday, after the morning papers showed In what
ridiculous attitude he had placed himself, and
concluded not to remove Commander Kellogg.
The latter officer did not inspire any article in The
REPUBLICAN, Of Saturday. The star of last Friday
afternoon was beaten by the critic, as 1t generally
is, aud contained no account OF the scene, and on
Saturday evening printed the following missate-

There appears TO be little or no foundation for
the story OF the alleged" scene yesterday between

A fatal accident resulting from the care

subject Of inquest by the coroner occurred yes
terday afternoon at the bakery of Mr. John Carroll

Theodore Cook, aged twenty, James Quills, aged

yesterday that DR.. Hamilton had visited the Poto-
mac fats, and had been so affected by the horrible
stencil that he declared well man could not live
in such a stencil week. Itwould seem to be about
time that the surroundings of President Garfield
should be thoroughly examined into If he can
be safely removed now, could he not have been
safely removed long ago when he had more
strength, and have had the benefit of more salu-
brous atmosphere these many weeks during which
he has been wasting away? The malaria of the
White House has been notorious to everybody but
