Christine NiIsson,s Husband.

Madame Christine Nilsson will
shortly lose her husband, NJ. ROuZe-
and. He has become mere shadow,
and can no longer even walk. This
mainly was the reason that she did
not come to this country this season.
He could not have born the voyage
over, and, besides, he would not leave
the one occupation which absorbs his
soul and body, and that is speculation
on the Paris Bourso. Every morning
it is open-th2t is about four days in
q week-he may be seen wheeling
himself in a little perambuiator he
has had constructed for himself, along
the Rus de RivOll, towards the Boursc
building. He is carried up the steps
by two coiporeurs, who wait patient
" until he comes. lie then wheels
himself on tho floor, and buys and
sells with perfect enthusiasm. At the
end Of the day hc is more dead than
alive. His wife gives him all her
money to invest for her, and he has
been more fortunate with il. lie is,
besides, rich man himself. But two
months more viii probably make
Christine a widow.

Rutter Easily Spoiled.

We have frequently shown how
easily butter becomes bad when it is
reached by any bad odors. In an eI-
change is recorded the following facts ::
Our people laid some veal in tie cell
lar. from which little blood fo% e1
out and was neglected until it had
commenced to smell. The result was
that jar of butter we were packing
smelIed and tasted like spoiled beef
We know pond of filthy, stagnant
water a few hundred feet from the
house. from which an offensive efIlH-
yiuIn would be borne ON the breeze
directly to the milk-room when tho
wind was in a certain direction, the
result of which was that the cream
and butter would taste of the disa
greeable odor coming from the pons.

The Salt Lake Tribune, published
in the Mormon country, says: There
are three distinct types of faces, de-
noting stubborness, ignorance and
superstition. The stubborn face first
strikes the observer. A forehead like
the end Of filbert, crooked nose and
a protruding lip. Such faces belong
to men who will take the minority
side of any question and stick to it
clean to the grave. Every town has
some odd, cranky character who is
willing to bet two dollars and a half
that the world is flat who denies that
water will seek its level, and if on a
ury always stands out against the
other eleven. If he ever has to leave
his native town, he will fetch up in
Salt Lake in the Mormon Church to a
dead certainty. He embraces the
faith, content 10 know that 1899 out
of 10000 look upon it as the grandest
sham III the century. The super
stitious class have faces Of another
type entirely. There is strength IN
the stubborn face, but none in the
superstitious. Their under lip re-
treats; their chins are hardly discern
able, and sitting with dilated eyes and
open mouth, they drink in the flood
of bosh and drivel from the preach
ers, absolutely believing that
the meaningless language is
the divine Inspiration of God.
Then comes the vast array of igno-
rant faces-whOle rows of men who
look like chimpanzees from the jung
giles of Central Africa men with lit
tie diminutive noses, big mouths, cnn-
ming, twinkling eyes and Protruding
teeth. The fringe OF neck whiskers
about the lower part of the face COM
plete the general resemblance the bah
Don, which is never lost when viewed
from any direction, front, side, or OBJ
lique.
These faces only belong to the con-
gregatiOn, the tithe-payers. The
tithe-eaters, who sit up and do the talk
| ing, are of a different order. Their
faces are stamped with sleek, plaus-
IDLE cunning, and they maintain their
/ gravity and decorum with a good
show of naturalness, and they face
/ the poor devils whom they have rob-
/ bed and duped for half a century
/ Cannon is a fine type of the sleekest
/ faced apostle of fraud and robbery.
/ To the congregation below he seems
/ the perfect impersOnatiOn of piety
/ and purity. The cut of his jib, the
! perfect brush of his hair and the mild
and gentle look of his eye all indicate
/ the man whose sleek exterior is but &
mask TO cover his real characteristics
| The wretches to whom his hypOcritic-
al sermons are directed, driuk in hi:
platitudes like water.

High Heel Shoes.

The English physicians have been
investigating the subject of high-heel-
ed shoes and pronounce them the
most dangerous invention of the nine
teenth century-far more dangerous
than dynamite or nitroglycerine. Not
to mention sprained ankles and LAGER
alton of the internal and external IL
garments of the ankle, which they so
eften produce, they are responsible al
so, the NJ. DIS say, for many spinal
diseases, diseases of the lungs aud a
hundred other maladies. The Lon
don Lancet indorses these medical
views. 1t is said that the Peruvian
ladies are so convinced of the truth OF
these assertions that they are actually
giving up high-heeled shoes. The
fact that Paris has given the shoes up
may persuade our ladies to abandon
them, but the advice of all the physi-
clans in the world certainly would
not, if they were still the fashion.

The Great Locomotire Failure.

a Pittsburg exchange tells The story
as follows:
''The wonderful ''Fontaine" locomO-
tive for which great results were
promised, and which was TO have
been given trial of speed shortly on
the New York division Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, has been suddenly sent
back to the shops at Peterson, where
it was constructed. The engine was
taken last week from Philadelphia to
Altoona for preliminary work, where
its peculiar construction of upper and
lower driving wheels was carefully
examined by the master mechanics OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
and afterwards given trial. This
trial was not satisfactory 10 locomo-
tive experts. They said that the dam
age te the tracks was greater than the
compensation in expected economy in
time. An officer of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company says that If the
engine was given a straight track and
one car, it could undoubtedly make
good time, but if tried under the same
circumstances as engines on this road
are, the results would be very unsatis-
factory.

RHETORICAL BOB.
THE srAR-RoUTE CoUNsELs PLEA.


The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Comm ercidL Tins char
acterizes Bob IHgcrsoll's speech made
last Saturday in the Criminal Court !:
Bob Ingersoll finished his argument
in the Star-rOute cases to-day to the
pleasing music of applauding hands.
It was of course an eloquent, enter
tanning effort, being in his best style,
but it contained more Of anecdOte than
authority, more oratoricaI pyrOtech-
mics than legal principles and pre-
cedents. His theis was that process
by information is unconstitutional.
1t is in conflict with the genius of our
institutions and with the rights of
American citizens He insisted that
the crime laid at the door Of his client
was infamous, and tia hcncehe
could only be tried upon by a grand
jury He was listened 10 with great
attention by .he crowded audience,
but his eloquence had less effect upon
the minded, cOOl-headed Judge
than the arguments that preceded it
or that which followed. The latter,
that of jeff Chandler, of St. Louis,
was heard with respectful attention
by the same crowd which Ingersoll
had held for hours, despite the fact
it was rich, not in rhetorical figures,
but in legal eruditiOn.

Clara Louise Kellogg has made one
engagement which is likely 10 break

Whitney, a wealthy and well-known
New York stock-breker. The casta
diva Is reluctant to take the fatal
step and speak the fatal word which
would bring her stage career to a close.
Hence she has opposed her impetuou-
lovers dcsiIe to have her name the day
and has put Off the sweet now UNITE
the sweet by-and-by. Nothing daunt-
ed, the lover has followed her with
out cea9ing from city to city, begging
for favorable answer. AT every per-
Torrance he has
Waite patiently about
Till Clara did appear.
Although this has been delicious, ii
has also been awkward. This unpro-
tected young chicken of prima dom

So her lover proposes that she shall
abandon all her concerts. go to the al

following her until she consents. A
day or two ago Miss Kellogg was de-
scribing her predicament to Herbert

exclaimed: 'Well, why don't you

A Louisville Courier-Jou1na1 spe-
cial has the following:
At Cuilman, Ala, to-day, an i'm
mense crowd OF people attended court,
the majority Of them getting on a gen
eral drunk, and finally getting up a
fight Of immense proportions, in
which bricks, rocks and knives were
freely used. At this writing several
persons are seriously wounded, and
many windows in the town are shat
tered to atoms. No pistol shots have
yet been fired, although it is feared
that it viii come to that before morn
ing. So general was the drunk that
the Judge had to be carried from the
Courthouse and put into his little bed
to sober up, and court was adjourned.
Cullman is a German settlement
away up on the top Of Sand Mountain,
thirty-ihrec miles frem Decatur. Its
people are pezceable and prosperous.
They have made the mountain top to
blossom as the rose, and have drawn
into THEN town an immense trade
from the mountains on both sides of
the railroad. The natives from the
mountains naturally come into Gull
man for their supplies, and many of
them don't neglect to get aboard Il
plentiful supply OF whisky also, and
or such occasions they delight in quar-
rcling with their German friends.
Such was the case today. The fight
was between the Americans and the
Germans, the former being on the of
fensive and the latter on the defensive.
am informed that some time since
party Of Americans made an attack
or the German colony OF Cullman, but
! the Germans were too much for them
az they caught their tormentors, and
| denuding them Of their clothing
drove them to their homes in an eli
tirely naked state, leaving their clothes
hanging on tree, and for which they
never returned.
