THERE are times when the old rule that
one shouldn't look gift horse In the mouth
can not be claimed TO hold good. The
French artist Bartholdi, In an outburst OF
International enthusiasm, conceived the
prolec, of endowing the great American Re-
public with creation Of his brain" Libsr-
" Enlghtening the World.' This gigantic
figure, modelled on the Colossus Of Rhodes,
was to be placed on an island In New York
harbor, the first object to strike the wonder
ing stranger as he enters port, the last to re-
mind him Of the young Republic on quitting.
The model of the figure was displayed at the
exhibition in Paris IN 1878 and caused no
end OF facetious remarks on the part Of the
witty Parisisns. Beyond understandable ugli-
ness The statue has nothing TO arrest aiten-
ton. Nor Is the experience OF other ambi-
tlous efforts Of the same sort Of nature to
encourage the contamination of this mon
strosity. In various parts OF Europe bronze
monsters Of this sort have been laboriously
built up In moments Of popular enthusiasm,
only to make the people ashamed when the
sober second thought overtakes. Near Mu-
mich there Is monster head Of Bavaria, In
which regimentof IN, II can take refuge, with
place in the ears for the baggage and camp
furniture. On the exquisite shores Of Lake
Maggiore there Is bronze giant commence
rating the good Cardinal Prince Borrcmeo,
but beyond the curious glance OF the tourist
passing up and down the lake the figure
might Just MS well he In the grave OF the Car
din giant. The head Of Bavaria moulder
in the green meadows near Munich, undis-
fnrbed by even the curiosity Of the tourist.
The American committee ask for subscr,p-
tions, which must reach . quarter Of mill
ion dollars before enough base can be built
to give the BaIthold! Liberty place for her
big feet. The figure itself costs $4,000,
and when done 10 TO stand on Bedloe's ISL
sne, place Of military execution-and civil,
TOO, for that matter. So that Liberty will
have the iucongruons task Of holding her
lamp over The hangman's episode labors and
reminding The cnlprit that even In death
there Ii but step from the Sublime 70 The
ridiculous. 49, Philadelphia Times.

ATTORNEY GENERAL MAcyEAGH did not
think IL part Of bis duty to 60 into ccun
and prosecute the star-route cases. They
failed. Attorney General Brewster, on the
other hand, announces that he considers II
his duty TO go into court and take an active

the story Of the meadow-larks and the farm

readers. When the la ks heard the farmer

MlRTHFUL INCIDENT
In the Life of Louise Gubs3s, late Sister
Mary Agnes.

A correspondent of an Eastern musical
journal writes the following in letter con,
corning the late Sister Mary Asner, refer.
ring to vein of innocent mirthfulneSs
which ran through her disposition:
MY informant recalls an incident which
displays this side of her nature. 1t was on
the occasion OF private entertainment
given by the pupils, when a row OF gravely
demurc and Sedate older sisters occupied
the front seat in the audience. Some little
play was about drawing to a close, when
sister Mary Agnes, who was acting as the
prompter, whispered TO one OF her pupils,
who, playing the character of a man and
dressed in the skirts of her sex, was also
provided with a stove pipe hat and an i'm
mense set of black whiskers. When the
last word of the dramatic tritle was spoken,
the Young miss jnmped from the stage, and
rushing among the sisters buXOm and sis
tiers spare, embraced them with manniSh
hugs and created a whiskered friction upon
the cheeks of the blushing and decorously
screaming virgins. The suggestion Of mas
culine hirsute adornments terrOrized the
row of black ROBBED figures, all unused to
such salutes.
"a most remarkable and deeply distress
ing calamity befell Armita Gubert, who was
receiving musical education from her
gifted elder sister at the convent Armita,
while descending stairway, fell down a
full flight In so doing the poor girl bit off
large portion OF her tongue. If | am not
mistaken, part of the tongue was COM
pletely severed. Armita possessed to a
considerable degree the power and natural
graces of her sisters voice, and the accident
was the occasion of the utmost solicitude to
Sister Mary Agnes, as well as pain to the
unfortunate girl, but the thought that it
would terminate fatally was undreamed of.
After some days of torture, the surgeon
observed the approach OF tetGnuS, and before
long Sister Mary Agnes was bereaved OF
pupil whose voice gave promise of aston
ishing the artist world.
SISTER Mary Agnes rendition of Il know
that my Redeemer liveth' was pronounced
superior to that Of Jenny Lind's. Among
the fayorite selections which were asked
for by those who visited the convent to
hear this wonderful voice were An Echo
Song" and "a Laughing Song both brist.
ling with difficulties, and displaying in an
eminent degree not only an exquisite voice,
but thorough musical feeling, understand
ing and soul"
she was about forty-fve years, and her
death was eccasioned by rapid consump-
ton. Her aged mother stood by the bed
side Of her dying daughter, the last of a
very large family.

A Good Time Suddenly Spoiled.

WASHINGTON, Pa, September A
couple of our old and well-known citizens
here, in the persons of A. White, Of broken
leg notoriety, and one Zeltz, met with quite
surprise about twelve o'clock on Satur.
day night, while they were hobnobing in
their humble rustic domicile near the
Union depot. 1t seems that on the night
mentioned they had supplied themselves
with crackers cheese, pickles and other
nicknacks, which were both eatable and
drinkable and placed them on @
table near where they were
seated. They we're enjoying themselves
hugely when, to their surprise, a billet of
wood, said to be railroad tie, which must
evidently have taken several stout men TO
handle, was thrown through the window,
alighting on the table and smashing IL and
its contents to smithereens. Fortunately
for the occupants neither was hit with the
missile, which in all probability saved US
the painful necessityof having TO report
a funeral. There appears to be no clue IS
TO who the miscreants were that done the
dastardly deed.

General Notes OF the Games In This
Locality.
The Neshannocks arrived here, yester-
day, but the heavy rain at 2:3O o'clock ut
terly precluded the possibilities OF game,
much to the disgust of the large number of
people who desired and expected to see
fine match. The rain fell in perfect sheets
and though 4 o'clock found the sun bright
ly shining down on the grounds, its force
could not dry up the pools of water which
stood on every low spot. To have two
games, the Neshannocks were induced to
remain over Wednesday and lovers of the
sport may have their fill. Engagements
had been made with the Stars OF Parkers'
burg, for Wednesday and Thursday, but the
Wednesday game will be played at 10 A. NJ,
so as to allow the Neshannocks the after
noon.
In publishing the batting and fielding
averages of the Standard, on Sunday, q.
Heinlein's average was given at 100 lower
than it should have been.
The Lafayettes, of Centre Wheeling. are
anxious to cross bats with the Riyersides.
Bets were freely made, yesterday, that
the Standards would lose the game. The
Neshannocks are very confident OF victory.

WANTED TO DIE,


But the Laudanum She Teek DidDt
The lightness in which life Is held by
members of the demi monde and their ap-
parent indifference to the danger OF
shutting off this mortal coil is
not to be wondered at when their
mode of life considered. No greater
indication of this is shown than
in the frequent and desperate attempts
they make at self-destruction. Generally,
however, in their desire to destroy them
selves they oyerdo the matter and work
their salvation and only very small pro
norton of the cases ever come to the pub
lie ear.
A desperate case of this kind occurred
last night, at the sporting house kept by
Annie Wright, on Twentieth street, the
would-be suicide, as usual, having resort
ed TO laudanum. Mamie Snyder is her
professional name, and Marietta her home,
but her own patronymic is Mary Wise. She
has been in this city about year, having
left her husband, Frank Wise, to
take up the sinful pleasures OF q
bawdy house. She is rather good
looking girl of %, and is said to have
been in love with (''stuck on" she would
saw UldH III thC thO ot~AJ
runs that he suddenly dropped her,
whereupon life at once became
burden that she would not
and could not, under any circum-
stances endure. About nine O'Clock, last
night, she left the house with the ambigu-
Gus remark that IF they saw her dead, 1t
would be all right. She soon returned and;
going up stairs she disrobed and
got into bed. But a moment after, there
was terrible commotion in that room and
the inmates rushed in to find her kicking
about in the agonies of CONFUSION.
An alarm was given at the hook and lad
der house, where telephone was yainly
used to call a physician. None
coald apparently be had. Some OF
the firemen, with several reporters, went
TO the rescue and began vigorous course
of treatment, walking the patient about
the floor and deruging her internal econo.
NV with hot coffee, mustard and
water, and all of the other antidotes
which could be recollected on the spur OF
the moment. Either those or the over
dose of the laudanum, the smell Of which
permeated the house, worked cure and
at a late hour the girl was out of danger.
1t was supposed by those who claimed to
know of such things, that she must have
swallowed at least an ounce Of the drug.
