Making Things over.

"because they're worn out when

Mrs. Jones. "Its no use making

The Strange Story of - Hermit
and Her Sweetheart.

Many years ago there suddenly ap'
peared in Morehead City, N. c., a
progressing young woman calling
herself Mary Burt. She obtained
work and soon became a favorite
with her acquaintances. Fifteen
years after when all the circumstan.
ces concerning her first appearance
had been forgotten, she received an
offer Of marriage from one Of the we'll
to-do residents of the place. She re.
fused, however, and Immediately af-
ter her whole manner changed. She
became moody and seemed fond Of
solitude. She finally purchased a
plot Of land in the mountains built
u log cabin and lived there alone
The only book she had was the Bible,
which she knew almost by heart.
Inc story OF her lie was puoiisned
recently in the Asheville Citizen
The article was copied by Vermont
paper, and attrRcted the notice OF
Robert Fletcher, prominent citizen
of that State. Fletcher soon after
visited Ashevi1le, sought the editor
of the Citizen, and, together, they
went to Miss Burt's house. The her
nit did not recognize the vermonter,
but she soon learned that he was her
old lover. A mistake had kept them
apart for half century, but when
Fletcher left Asheville a few days

ness for help and comfort. One sooth-'
ing touch of her kindly hand would
work wonders in the feverish child.
A few words let fall from her lips in
the ear Of q sorrowing sister would do
much to raise the load of griefthat is
bowing its victim down to dust in
anguish. The husband comes home
worn out with the pressure of busi.
ness, and feeling irritable with the
world in general; but when he enters
the cozy sitting.room and sees the
blaze Of the bright fire, his slippers
placed by loving hands in readiness,
and meets his wife's smiling face, he
succumbs at once to the soothing in
tluences which act as the balm Of
Gilead to his wounded spirits, that
are wearied with combating the stern
realities of life. The rough school
boy flies in a rage from the taunts Of
his companions to find solace in his
mother'ssmiles. The little one, fullo
grief with its own large trouble, finds
u haven Of rest on its mothers bosom.
And SO one might go on with in
stance after instance Of the influence

social life with which she is con.
nected.

BaIdwin.s ORGAN Recital.

The fourth organ recital of the second
series given by Mr.. s. A. Baldwin, at the
House of Hope church last night, at
tracted large audience, comprising
some of the best peaple of the city, and
nearly all the prominent musical gentle
men of the city. The programme con-
sisted of four organ selections, all by
Guilmant, the French composer and or
gan virtuoso. While the compositions
are not intricate, they are admirably
adapted to the popular ear, and
Mr.. Baldwin gave them most art
istic presentation. The ''First Medita-
tation" was rendered in such manner
as to elicit the warmest applause, and
followed by the "Nuptial March" car
ried the audience away. The "Cantilene
Pastorale was executed in mastery
manner, while the "Offertory Over
Christmas HYMNS" with variations, was
truly captivating. 80, Salutaris," was
sung by Miss May Thurston In a very
charming manner, and she received an
enthusiastic recall. She sang Mozart's
aria, "Batti, batti," equally well, and
She received well merlted applause. Mr..
]. r. Tinkham gave his vielin sonata in
admirable style. The recital as whole
was greatly enjoyed Oy those present:
The next and concluding recital OF the
series viii take place on Friday evening
next. The vocal numbers will be given
by Miss Evelyn Burbank and Prof. W:

Specimen Conversation That Was Heard
by a Reporter.
[Chicago News.]
The temptation to speculate in grain is be-
coming SO universal at present that the bro
kers' offices in the exchange building and
about the board of trade are daily haunted by
women of every description, all eager to ascer-
tain the condition of the market, and the
proper time to invest few dollars in options.
Instead of cooking and sewing, wheat and corn
are the usual subjects of conversation among
these females. Said one yesterday: "Do you
know, Mrs. Sharp, bought 5000 October
wheat Monday afternoon and closed 1t out yes
terday at $l00 profit"
"Is that sos'' replied her companion. 81
put up SIS in margins last week and was
froze out in six hours. Since then have not
had the spirit to invest"
~ suppose you still deal through Cham
plin?" inquired the first.
"Ohi yes. Mr.. Champlin is long-headed
gentleman, and his commission is reasonable.
Did you ever hear the story of Mr.. Champlin
and his filly?"
"No. Hear me! The market has dropped
q quarter of cent. Ny margins will surely
be exhausted if this continues. Have you
seen those new dolmans at Pardridges~
"Yes; il l had not been froze out OF that $l5
last week, it was my intention to buy a dol
man and also buy baby new suit. Goodness
greciousi 1t has dropped another quarter:
Mr.. Champlin assured me the market would
continue to 20 up to-day, but now am glad
did not buy, though I thought November
| wheat was a bargain. You are bull today,
are you not?"
"Yes; and my margin is almost gone now;
but wont be froze out. Tlttake Mr.. Champ
Inns advice and back it up. / am sure the
market will 60 up soon."
This is sample of the effect that grain
speculation has on the ladies. Several OF the
Exchanges" and commission rooms near the
open board are entirely supported by women.
Two of the latter viii meet in hallway, kiss
each ether and the first question that arises tc
their lips is: "What is the market dear?'
After this the usual inquiry about friends Ii

CRITICISMS CRITICISED.


ard Associates In the Presidents Case
The Wound Necessarily Fatal-Conhdsnt
Belief the Treatment Will be Endorsed
by the Profession.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-From Tribune; Dr.
Bliss, who is preparing his report on fresi-
dent Garfleld's case for the Medical Record
at the house of DR.. Brady, this CITY, said last
evening he had no doubt the medical probes
sion would be satisfied from his report that
the treatment could not have been different
from what it had been. The presidents wound
was mortal, said he. Any attempt to
remove the ball would have resulted fatally at
once. The only way TO remove the ball was
by cutting the abdomen, lifting the stomach
and searching for it. Or we might have cut
through the back, sawed through the rib or
have done something else equally iutlie. AS
did we know where the ball was 1t would nave
been plain it was encysted. So 1t was not an
important fact.
Again, even if no particles of bone had been
carried forward into the soft parts OF the body
the injury to the vertebra would have produced
fatal results, as rotting of the bone would
have resulted, and the destructive processes
attending 1t would have extended to the spinal
cord, producing paralysis, with all its con-
nective evils.
In the light of the autopsy 1t was fortunate
no serious attempt was made to explore for
the ball, for by the conservative
course pursued the greatest comfort
was secured for the President and his
life preserved the longest possible
period. AS for determining the course OF the
ball, DR.. Wales and myself both tested it at
first with our fingers, but were stopped by the
broken rib.
In conclusion, he said, am perfectly salts
fed with the treatment of the president's
wound and believe the profession will admit
when the report is made that the wound was
mortal. 1t was only question OF time when
the president would die. q

against the four Nihilists belonging to the So
called black division, seeking to effect its aims
by fomenting popular revolution, who have
been IN prison eighteen months, have been

days and will be held with closed doors. The
accused are Maria Kriliva, a gentiewoman,

Indictment was implicated in Korkakasof's Is

1856, and who was asiriend ri Vera Sassaluth

previously been arrested for engaging In re-

pardoued and on the second for participating
In the disturbances following the acquittal of

whence he escaped. The other two prisoners
are Prikhadkson, gentleman, and Preplet-

the rapidity of his reactions proved, was a
man of splendid constitution, and such ane K

clothes were left on him, and for ten hours
no examination was even attempted, and then
the only surgeon, DR.. Wales, who attempted
one, was checked and dismissed. In the sub

fundamental maxims Of surgery were

lays down the following rules, not one OF
which was complied with IN the treatment OF
this important case. He says that 1t cannot
be too strongly urged that If you wish to
give yeur patients the best chances, that
pieces of clothing and loose splinters OF bone
should be removed, unless they are IN the
large cavities, when special rules laid down
in other parts of the book govern the case.
He adds that many unfortunate examples
illustrate the results of neglect to follow this
rule, that patents have lain in hospitals for
many months, when the happy discovery OF .
little splinter or few shreds OF clothing re.
lieyed them. He insists as far as the ball and
other bodies are concerned that their removal
is easier in the first few hours than later,
owing to the subsequent narrowing OF the
wound-channel."

difference in the case If these precautions had
been taken?"
