A Newport special to the Chicago
Times says A sensation has been
caused here to-day by the sudden de
parture of the russian minister, Bar
tholomei, leaving behind him large
number of unpaid bills, and a generally
unsavory reputation. Mr.. Bartholomei
has occupied the fine residence of Capt
Downing, here during the season, and
has gone away not only without paying
his rent, but leaving the house aud fur
niture in such condition that Mrs,
Downing, upon entering the house to-
day, could not refrain from bursting in
to tears. Bartholomew, who is an inn
mense man IN physique, always dress
ed IN il slovenly manner, and his falni-
ly, consisting Of himself, his wife, and
eleven children, and large retinue of
servants, lived in such a slovenly way
that the entire honse is in a shocking
condition. His landlord is not the on
ly party whom his excellency has vic
tlmized. tradesmen of ali sorts have
claims against him which he has failed
to liquidate. \ grain dealer named
Murray furnished Bortholomei with
feed for his horses, and, being unable
to collect his pay, ignorantly sued him.
Bartholomew came down in towering
rage and pleaded his immunity as am
bassador. lie demanded loudly to
know where the governor of the state
was and said he would know why he
was subjected to such an indignity. 1t
is known that this is not the only case
in which the minister has pleaded his
immunity. and many other suits would
doubtless be brought against him if
creditors did not know the uselesness
of such a course. Bartholomew has
than 4 few days, both on account of the
manner in which the family lived and
the harsh treatment which they receiv-
ed. He furnished one man servant
with suit of clothes this summer
The man was soon after taken very i'll
and went to the hospital. Bartholome Ell
went 10 a justice and demanded writ
to recover the suit of clothes The JUS
tice would not issue the writ as it APP
peared that Bartholnmei had given the
man the clothes, and the minister
thereupon went to the hospital and ac-
tually carried away his employees trunk
on his own back lie is physically well
capable Of such a performance. At
the morning assemblies of the fashion
able world at the circular pavilion in
the casino he has always doomed up a.
bove the crowd, looking like q Titanic
German farmer in his working clothes.
On these occasions he has always been
surrounded by the members of his fam
lily, talking loudly and necessarily in
various languages. Bartholomew left
here last night, going, as is supposed,
TO Washington. 1t Is stated that he
has been mysteriously shadewed Of
late by a detective, who came on here
from New York.

THE GOLDEN CUPID.
some Notable Events in the High Ton
ed Matrim oniaI World.
Naxr NorL T;,no-

New ork Times.
Among the marriages in the fashion
able world the coming season, none will
excite more interest than that Of Miss
Vanderbilt, the youngest of the railroad
king, with DIR. Seward Webb, the son
of James Watson Webb, the octoge-
marian journalist. Miss Vanderbilt is
now the only unmarried child of VIM.
H. Vanderbilt She is twenty years
old, slim and graceful brunette, re-
sembling her mother in appearance
She has an interesting and intelligent,
though not beautiful face. and is
very well known by sight to most every
body in New York who goes to the
opera, an amusement of which she, as
well as her father is very fond. Dur
ing the past three months she and her
mother have been among the very few
ladies occupying the conspicuous boxes
at the academy of music who have not
attracted attention by the splendor of
their toilets. Mrs Vanderbilt is lady
of quiet tastes, and in such public plac-
es as the opera she and her unmarried
daughters have never been noteworthy
for gorgeous attire. Mrs. Vanderbilt
made her debut where it is fashionable
for all the young ladies of New York.
upper tendon to make their social en-
tree. Some time later she went to Eu-
rope with her parents, and in Paris she
unwittingly captured the heart Of Lord
Duffield, who offered himself in marri-
age. His proposal was declined She
has been engaged for about year to
young DR.. Webb, who is some six years
her senior. Mr.. Nanderdilt's wedding
presents to each of his three daughters
already married were something mag
niticent, as would naturally be expect
ed, and it is said that his gifts to his
youngest daughter will include the
house on fifth avenue in which he at
present lives. He will move into the
palace now nearly complicated for him
within few months. DIR. Webb is III
comfortable circumstances. but he Is
by no means wealthy according to the
New York definition of the word
Some three years ago he thought of
abandoning medicine and of entering
the urnalistic ranks, in which his
father, the proprietor Of the Courier
and Enquirer, which preceded the
world newspaper Of to-day, won a repu-
tation ana a competency. He gave up
the idea, however, and is doing we'll in
his profession. if he has not yet achiev-
ed SO brilliant Il success as he has met
with in his matrimonial enterprise
The wedding will occur late in the fall.
Another event which is exciting an
equal degree of interest in society IS
the prospective marriage OF August
Belmont, Jr, to Miss Bessie Morgan,
the charming daughter of Mr.. Edward
Morgan. Both parties are immensely
wealthy.

4 BRUTE.
\ Horrible Deed Committed in south
ern Illinois, and the Murderer Al
lowed TO Escape.

The sheriffof Union county. Ill. saws:
"A liberal reward will be given by citi-
zens, and doubtless 500 by the govern
or, Tor the arrest of Samuel Hazen for
the murder of Mollie Dalton, a child
SIX years old, on the S1st day of Aug
ust, 1881"
The Farmer and Fruit Gro,cer, pub
hshed at Anna, in the same county.
says: The scene of this crime was in
that rugged portion of Union county
SIX miles east of Dongola, at the house
OF a woman named Nancy Keller. The
parties to the transaction were a woman
by the name of Dalton. mother of the
numbered child, the woman Keller,
William Hazel, a brother of the muir
derer, and Samuel Hazel. the brute
described above, who is said to be Il
former inmate of the penitentiary
None of the parties mentioned bear the
best of regulations
VIM. Hazel lived with the Keller wo-
man, and on the night of the murder,
August 81, was there with his brother
and the Dalton woman and her child
Alter 8 o'clock the two men went to the
premises of neighbor, widow, and
stole four chickens The woman came
out and objected and was shot at BY one
Of the men, the ball grazing her face.
They took the chickens to the house
where the women were, and had some
OF them prepared for supper. Sarl. Ha-
eel had ordered little Mollie Dalton not
to go to sleep, and she replied: Me
won't. After supper the child began
to nod and the brute would slap her
face to keep her awake. His rough
treatment at last made the little girl
cry, when he seized a cowhide and COM
menced beating her. This he kept up
for an hour and half, and the effect
on tender child of six years may well
be imagined. He then sent her out to
gather kindling wood for the fire, and
after short time shouted: "Mollie,
you, where are you?" The child
out IN the dark replied: "Here me"
Hazel then went into the
yard and commenced kicking
her. He brought her into the house
and kicked her from one side of the
room 10 the other like a ball. He
stamped the little form until no sign of
live was apparent, and one of the
women said: "Mollie is gone" Eyes"
replied the fend, ito hell head fore
most" After while, as if realizing
the enormity of his crime, he brought
some water and tried to restore the lit
tie one to life. Finding that this failed
he took burning brand and held it to
her foot, saying with an oath that he
would '.see whether she was dead or
not" This brutal experiment also fail
ed to restore consciousness, and about
8 O'Clock on Thursday morning, Sept !,
Mollie Dalton died
Samual Hazel, tie perpertrator of
this, the most cruel and cowardly muir
der ever committed in southern Hi
nois, was allowed to escape III broad
daylight, fact which does not speak
well for the citizens Of that portion Of
the ,ountry Tardy information was
furnished to the officers in this city, and
all they could do was to strike the trail,
but every effort will be made to cap
ture this demon. VIM. Hazel, the
brother who stood by and the life beat
en- out of the child, is in Jail in this
city.

Sickness a Disgrace.

All bodily ailments are more or less
urgent appeals for help, nor can we
doubt in what that help should consist.
The more fully we understand the ma
ture of any disease, the more clearly
We see that the discovery of the cause
means the discovery of the cure Many
sickneSses are caused by poisons, foist-
ed upon the system under the name of
tonic beverages or remedial drugs; the
only cure Is TO eschew the poison.
Others, by habits more or less at vari-
auce with health laws of nature; to cure
such we have to reform our habits.
There is nothing accidental, and rarely
anything inevitable, about disease;
we can safely assume that nine out of
ten complaints have been caused and
can be cured by the sufferers Tor their
nuses) themselves. .God made man
upright every prostrating mslady Is s.
deviation from the state of nature The
infant, mewfing and puphng IN its
nurses arms" Is an abnormal phenom-
enon. Infancy should be period of
exceptional health; the young of other
creatures are healthier as well prettier,
purer and merrier than the adults, yet
the childhood years of the human ami
nal are the years of sorest sickness !;

1 ROMANCE Of a Pretty Foot
Pbi,a5alnb;a Times


| don'tknow that there is anything
in the world that is so well calculated
to excite envy as pretty foot, and
when person can boast of such a
possession he or she is very apt, il
poverty doesn't stand in the way, to
make the most of it. 4 pretty foot is
a pretty fortune to a woman. Last
year made pair of shoes for lady
who had as pretty as were ever fash
toned. 1t was pleasure for me t.
make the shoes, and when they were
finished | put them in the show-win-
dow in a very conspicuous place,
where could view them at my leisure.
Pretty soon nicely-dressed gentleman
stopped and began looking at them
very attentively. Presently he entered
the store and inquired if they were for
sale. l told him no, that they were
made for one of my customers. He
looked surprised. and asked the lady's
name. | would not give him this
much satisfaction, but told him where
she lived, however l was csnsider-
ably surprised to learn afterward that
he was calling at the house, and more
surprised It'll when the lady, accom-
panied by the gentleman. called at the
store three months later She called
him dear then, so / guess they we're
married.

Elections upon the natural ability and
bias OF mind of young woman who
was fond of washing dishes"
This sensible, accomplished little
drawing teacher was the only one to be
found, who mingled in the upper cir
Giles" of New City, who said 8 word in
praise or defense of Helena Mills new
vocation. Miss Carlton always and
everywhere protested that the young
girls course was not only praiseworthy,
but beautiful. She maintained that
every woman, young or old. high or low,
who took upon herself the labor of ele-
waiting the much-abused as well as de-
spised vocation of housework-upon
which the comfort of every home de-
pends-te fine art, was a public bene-
factor.
Miss Cartons friends all listened and
laughed, and then went on with their
senseless and malicious TRADE She
was heartily glad when her engage
ments in New City ended, and she was
obliged TO move in such ''select" society,
whose ideas were always mere echo
Of opinion-which had been expressed
by few Of its more wealthy members.
Mrs. DR.. Forbes, nee Miss Carleton,
had heard very little about New City
society for five years. But having oc-
casion to pass through the place on the
cars lately, she treated herself to little
cosby chat with the conductor, whom
she had knowa as New City gallant.
"There is no particular news, Mrs.

statistics show that among the Caucas-
ian race men of 80 have more hope to
reach good old age than newborn
child has to reach the end of Its second
year. The reason of this: the health
theories of the average Christian man
and woman are so egregiously wrong
that only the opposition of the better
instincts helps them against their con-
science, as itwere, to maintain the strug-
gle for a tolerable existence with any
thing like success, while the helpless
infant has to conform to those theories,
with the above results.
Il have long ceased to doubt" says
DR.. Schrodt, that, apart from the eff
fects of the wounds, the chances of
health or disease are in our own hands;
and, if people knew only one-half the
facts pointing that way, they weuld feel
ashamed to be sick or to have sick
children. DR.. Fetir L. Os,roH, in Pop
