that flashed Through her mind as she
watched her sitting or sleeping SO
strangely then.
Suddenly a throng of girls appeared
ut the door. They were Maude's sister
bridesmaids, and after exchanging
word with her. they walked toward the
window.
..Hester is asleep" whispered one OF
them in astonishment, and the others
moved softly and spoke in hushed tones
as they gathered round the chair.
ssHow dreadful1y white she looks!'

Then a sort of curious awe. almost a

before them.
At that moment the maid approached
the panie-stricken group. Surprised at
the startled expression of the different

The Closing Night.

A brilliant house last night at.
tended the closing entertainment
Of the Authors Carnival. After
the inimitable Guards had given
their drill, which was received
with the usual enthusiasm, the
third chirp Of Dickens's "Cricket
on the Hearth" was rendered in o
very pleasing manner. the partici.

ciency In the several roles assum ed
by them.
A very attractive feature of the
evening was the singing of the Ty.
rolean Quartette, who were re-.
ceivsd with such demonstrative
favor that they were obliged to re.
spOnd twice to encores.
The "School for Scandal" with
the original cast, was repeated by
request. Not having been. able to

first presentation, we take the

jamaica Rum Made from Shoes.

Speaking of the industry statis-
tics, says New York letter to the
Springfield Union, reminds me
that several curious businesses
have been discovered by the CEN
sus deputies, OF which. SO far no
newspaper has given an account.
The superintendent Of Brooklyn
census was much puzzled some
weeks ago upon discovering that
there was some use made Of old
shoes, which was not known to
any of the deputies in his employ,
and could not be discovered. II
was found that old shoes were col
lected In large quantities by rag.
pickers and junkmen. and sold to
certain mysterious persons, for
what purpose no one could divine.
1t was we'll known that Prussian
blue Is made of old leather, but the
persons engaged in that business
were perfectly willing to have
their works inspected. After much
enquiry aud investigation, II was
found that the old shoes were made
into Jamaica rum. When they
came from the ragpickers, the good
pieces were cut out and cold to
ANAL cobblers for patching pur-
poses. The rest was distilled with
spirits, cOlored with burned sugar
and sold as Jamaica rum, and the
most singular fact about the bust.
ness Is that it is bought, not by
saloon-keepers, but by druggists
who pride themselves on the puri.
" Of their articles. Many indus.
tries were found in which, though
the value of the product was con-
siderable, no value was attributed
to the raw material. One man who
made tomato catsup acknOw ledg ed
to making $500 worth OF catsup
every year, but said that the raw
material cost nothing. When
pressed for an explanation, he said
he sent to the factories where to.

of the tomatoes were thrown by the
