A Tragedy.

Four years ago a lovely, intelligent and
attractive girl, named Bella Allan, was hap
PLY married at the parsonage of the Chelsea
Methodist church in Thirtieth street, New
York. Misunderstanding arose between
her husband and her, and she left him
and drifted into life of shame. Penni-
less, wasted and dying, that girl was yester-
day turned out of disreputable house in
Twenty ninth street. She dragged her way
to the parsonage where she was married,
and was assisted to the Cremorne
Mission, whence she was sent to the
Magdalene Home, where she died before
nightfall. After the service of song at the
mission in the evening collection was taken
up for her burial. The life she led was
worse than death, and the good Samaritan
ism that softened her last hours could not
exercise the gaunt and loathsome speeter of
immortality that had claimed her as its own.

At Cambridge University Miss Helen Ma

that a woman can now do almost all that
man can in all departments, classical and
scientific. Almost all the university and
number of the college lectures are open to

University is to be preferred for historical

tute of Technology for the natural sciences

know what has been done to her, having
been unconscious during the worst part OF

she is necessarily praying for death to relieve
her. The doctor in attendance tells his col

Fiendisn Cruelty of tho Russians.

f1enufsn cruelty Oh INC FussAaHss
An Austrian physicians who has visited
the Jews Hospital at Odessa gives the fol-
lowing account of what he saw there:
"One hundred and twenty five mutilated
persous have been received within a few
days, still greater number are in the ruins
of their houses in Hozolo, Balta, and the
smaller places in the neighborhood. Most
of the wounds are of very dangerous char
acter, the aggressors having been cruel
enough to pour spirits OF turpentine into
them. II the Jews resisted this treatment
the Russians cut their arms and legs off,
badly used their bodies and carried them to
the woods to throw them to the wolves Very
few of the victims in the hospital are likely
to recover, and the accounts they give of
their sufferings and the treatment they ex-
perienced at the hands OF their aggressors,
would appear exaggerated did their bodies
not prove the truth of what they say.
woMAN's BREAST CUT OFF.
There is one young woman, little more
than eighteen years of age, whose breast was
cut off with a sword, while her one-year-old
babe, which was lying on a bed near her,
had its eyes put out with red-hot IRON She
told the physician that her husband had
house and shop in Hozolo, and that she had
always been on friendly terms with the Rus
SLAMS of that town. On Easter eve, as she
was making preparations for the Passover

her baby, and threatened not TO return it
until she had given up all the money and
valuables in the house. The child was
screaming wildly, 30 she fetched all the
valuables she had. When tie child was
returned to her, its eyes had already been
put out. In her despair she threw herself
upon those who had done the horrible deed,
but they threw her to the ground, treated h+r
in the most horrible fashion imaginable, and
when her husband returned and drew re-
volver he was thrown to the ground. bound
with cords and forced to look on while the
monsters cut his wiie's breast of, and she has
never heard Of him since.

miserable creature, who has not even the
comfort of tears, sits an old woman with her
head bandsged, the Uranium having been cut
in two by sword. Upon q physician CUES
tioning her why she was not in a recun bent

been so badly scourged it was one large open
wound. When she heard the aggressors

AN ANCIENT TOWN.

Those of our readers who have entered the
Mediterranean by the Straits of Gibraltar
will have observed the white walls and roofs
of Algesiras embosomed among the cork
trees on the other side of the bay. This an
cient town-half Moorish, half Spanish-is
now to be connected with Madrid by branch
railroad which will join the main line at
Jerez famous for its sherry wines. The line
does not approach Gibraltar nearer than four
miles Whether this be from the jeal-
ousy of the English government is not
stated. Possibly the Spanish government,
who are constantly complaining of
the amount of tobacco struggled into
the country from Gibraltar by the
Mogodor Jews, may object to affording any
further facilities for that lucrative but illegal
traffic. Algesiras is also the port whereby
Ceuta is reached, and, no doubt with a view
of securing the Moorish trade, the line has
been carried down to Spanish waterfront.
The ride from Gibraltar to Cadiz by st.
Rogue, one of the few mule routes still fire.
quented by travellers, will be superseded.
From the hills above Algesiras the pillars of
Hercules may be seen, and even the outline
of the Atlas range on clear day. To the
left lies Tarifa, the spot where the Moors
landed which was associated with the name
of Count Julian until a recent American
writer proved that the whole story was a
fable Passengers landing at Gibraltar will
soon be able to travel by rail right through
TO Madrid and Paris.

anxious voice: "Why is Narischa 30 quiet?"
The nurse tells her she is dead. This poor

her little sister year old, had had her ears

wounds on the head, which make the doctors
