Frequenters of the uptown drives are inter-
ested in an unknown horse that first appeared
on the road last Friday. He is a powerful and
large black gelding Of great speed. His first
exploit was to defeat William II. Vanderbilt's
bay gelding Jack, carrying him to bad break.
He is not known to anybody on the drives, nor
Is his driver The driver does not make any
stoppages while out. This same horse, on COM
ing up Seventh avenue yesterday, had a brush
with Charles w. Griswolds chestnut geldng

defeated many other fast horses.

queens OF the Cabinet.

Seldom, writes q Washington CORE
spondent, has it been that, in the selec-
ton of q Cabinet, The wives of the men,
bers enjoyed such distinction, apart from
the reputation OF their husbands, as do
some of those OF the present administra-
ton. Mrs. Blaine is fine looking lady,
tail, with good features, and hair well
sprinkled with gray. She is pleasant in
her manners, a ready conversationalist,
and shrewd. Her long experience in
public life has made her valuable ac-
QUESTION to the administration, or at
least to that part of it represented by
her husband. She can Keep a secret
and ward off the inquisitive. Mrs.
Blaine possesses those peculiar qualifi-
cations which make wife a gceat COM
fort and aid to public man. Mrs.
Window is fine. matronly lady, who
has never shown any disposition for So
ciety and its frivolities. While she
always dresses in good taste, in either
black silk or satin, or some solid color,
there is nothing dashing to distinguish
her in crowded reception-room. She
appears to best advantage in the home
circle. The oldest fish in the Cabinet
basket is Samuel j. Kirkwood, the Sec
rotary Of the. interior. He is a plain
man, and has an agricultural appear
ance, but the one who picks him up as
fat will be mistaken. Little is known of
his wife beyond the fact that she is ali
estimable lady, who partakes in meas
IRE the quiet manner of her husband,
and has limited circle of acquaintance.
Secretary Lincoln's wife was Mary Har-
Ian, daughter of ex-senator Harlan,
woman of exquisite loneliness. In her
younger days the suitors for her hand
were numbered by the score. Her
presence in the charmed circle of the
Cabinet will add to its briliiancy. The
fact that Mrs. MacVeagh is Simon
Cameron's daughter has given her a
reputation which has preceded her here.
She is tall, graceful Of figure, and, hav-
ing spent years in society with her
father when he was in tie zenith of his
political glory and power, comes well
prepared for the new honors which both
her husband and herself will receive.
Those who know her intimately say that
| she possesses in marked degree many
| Of the characteristics which distinguish
her father, and that these traits are
more largely developed than In any
of her relatives. Having been brought
up In a political atmosphere, she has
| acquired the faculty eff reading men and
women at a glance and am told that
hers has been the directing mind in
many Of the movements made by her
husband. Mrs. Hunt will be the belle
of the Cabinet beyond a doubt. She is
a beautiful blonde, agreeable in manner
and cultivated in taste. Mrs. Hunt is
one of the best-educated ladies in Wash
ington, and withal brilliant society
woman. Her circle of acquaintance is
large and she entertains with true
Southern iberality. Postmaster James
has a lovely wife, who will be an orna-
ment to society here.

About five months ago the daily papers
Dublished a smart item regarding team
ster named John Collery, who attempted
to drive his team through barn door
and in doing so had his head forced down
upon his breast until his neck was
broken. Police Surgeon Slambaugh
made an examination Of the injured man
and found that the seventh curvical
vertebra was fractured, and that the
spinal cord had been stretched out nearly
two inches. So serious was the injury
that the reporters after chronicling the
incident under the head of fatal accidents
paid no further attention to the matter,
and failed to inquire into Col
lerv's condition concluding him dead
and buried. A CbrOnlcIe reporter was eX-
ceedingly surprised the other day to meet
the supposed corpse near the city prison
looking remarkably well for man with a
broken neck. In a conversation which
enSued Mr. COllery stated that he was al
most as well as before the accident, slight
stiffness in his right side constituting his
entire "unhealthfulness. After his
removal to his home Collery states that
he was LAID flat on his back with sort
of fence about his neck and head
which kept him immOvable for over two
months. Both the body and the vertebra
and the archlng lamin@ were discovered
TO be broken, and the operation Of JOIN
ing them together without pinching the
spinal cord where il had sagged between
the ragged edges is described as one of the
most difficult ever performed. For month
the patient lay on his back COM
pletely paralyZed in one-half his
body, and with but little feeling in
the other. If ne moved in the slightest
degree in the first fortnight he could
plainly feel the ragged edges of the bone
CRATE together, and for hours after such
an attempt he was content to lie on his
hard bed without attempting to move a
muscle, for fear that the spinal cord
should be crushed and his existence end
ed in twinkling. The straightest posi-
ton attainable was required, and to this
end DIR. Stambaugh was compelled to re-
fuse him mattress, forcing him to lie
on a wide plank. COllery says that be-
fore his eight weeks of enforced quiet
ness were ended he thought that board
was made of adamant. The most dan
gerOus time he experienced, he says, was
one day when an attendant told him that
a man whose neck could stand breaking
as his had was not born to be hanged. His
desire to laugh was irresistible, and the
shaking up his merriment gave him
caused his faSteningS TO burst,
and the fracture came near being rup-
tured afresh. During the first five
weeks he did not move a foot from his
first posture. The paralysis has now
almost entirely disappeared, and DR..
Stambaugh yesterday promised him that
he would be able to go to work within
six months. The average fatality in
cases of clearly defined fracture OF the
spine is estimated at 500 in 1000.

Hartford Times. I


a Middletown young lady never tires
of relating an amusing occurrence Of the
Sleighing season last winter. She was
enjoying a ride in company with two
Hartford gentlemen, and she was driving.
One of the gentlemen slyly inserted a
hand IN her mu1f and lovingly pressed
her disengaged hand. She blushed and
withdrew it just as the gentleman on the
other side slipped his hand in the muff.
She knew by the action of her adorers
that the hand pressures were frequent
and loving within the silk lining of
the mutf, for first one face and then the
other would bob forward and catch a
look at the sweet face and eyes which
prompted, as they supposed, the tender
pressure of the hand. The by-plav lasted
until the young lady quietly remarked:
eff you gentlemen are through with nv
mutf will trouble you for it now, as my
hands are getting cold.'' And the two
gentlemen who had been comfortably
warm up to this time suddenly felt an
Arctic chill creeping up their spinal col
umns, and the mercury of their feelings
dropped to $50 degrees below zero. The
two gentlemen are strangers now.

1--we Sisters.

In 1916, two sisters finished their
course OF study III a Western school.
The youngest, whom we shall here call
Sarah, regarded herself as an altogether
exceptional woman, and had brought her
school-fellows to think the same. The
truth was, she had All active brain, a
retentive memory, an indomitable Will,
and great ambition. She declared the
ordinary life Of women afforded no scope
for her powers.
She pursued her studies on leaving
school, totally neglected all social and
domestic duties, went through medical
| course, and was finally admitted to prac-
tee in an Eastern city. At that time,
such a career involved hard fighting on
hex part against the press, public opin-
ION, the medical faculty, the very teach
ers who instructed her. She was quite
ready to fight. Her tongue was sharp,
her pen facile. her wit bitter and coarse.
Such a contest would be- justified If
her motive had been high one, as it is
with many women who leave the beaten
track. But in her case, she was urged
Oh neither by a desire to help suffering
humanity, to elevate her sex, nor even
to develop a defined talent i'll herself.
She simply coveted notoriety.
| When she had gained her profession,
she was in a position to become real
helper in the world, an active, benef-
cent power. But she settled down into
q hard, sarcastic, selfish woman, no bet
ter a doctor than the hundreds of young
III. DIS abort her, and with narrower
| influence than most of the wives and
mothers of whom she always spoke
with plying contempt She died year
| ago, stirred out, as she said, 'with
living" and with but one or two friends
to follow her to the grave.
| Her elder sister was dull girl, cared
little for books, had no ambition, and
no especial talent (Sarah used secretly
to wonder why the world was filed with
such commonplace nonentities, to lead
lives of nothing, nothing worth'0. But
she had an affectionate heart, piety, COM
mon sense, fine tact, and, above all, alb
solute unselfshness.
She married, and became the mother
of half dozen children. They are men
and women now, with families of their
| own. They are artists, authors, mer-
chants, ministers OF the gospel, each life
an active current of strength and good
IN the world.
"Whatever any of Us have done, said
her husband. once, "or may do that is
right or bel pful, comes at first from
mother here in her chimney corner"
Young people starting out in the world
should remember that it is not the tai
ent of a man nor his profession. but his
motive In living which IN the end makes
his life great or noble, or q miserable
failure. Youths Cona2oa5aion.

The Sleeping iFomGn OF PGTis


a case which is exciting great interest
in the Paris medical world just now is
that Of young woman who has been for
the last three months an inmate of the
Beaujon hospital. She was found by the
police asleep, and apparently tipsy, on
seat III one of the avenues leading to the
Bots de Bouloene, but as after remain
ing for two or three hours at the police
station she did not give any signs of re-
turning animation she was taken
TO the Beaujon hospital The res
1dent physician found that she was
enceinte, and adopted several mild meas
nres for aWaking her from her Icthargy.
All OF these proved Intellectual, and sew
eral other medical men, including DIR.
Charcot, were called in. DIR. Charcot
was OF the opinion that the best remedy
would be a Series of cold dOuches; bu: as
1t was impossible, IN her condition, to
apply this, nothing renamed but to
await the course Of events. SO the time
passed, the patient showing 70 signs of
life except a heavy breathing, but nour-
lshment was administered 10 her by az
1iticIal means.
About the middle of last month. when
she had been for eight months in a CO.
matose condition, she gave birth to still
born child, bat this did not have the eff
feet of bringing her back to animation,
and after fortnight's interval, the
dOuches were tried. These seem likely
tc be successful, for though she can
notye speak, she is beginning TO express
by signs that she understands what is
said to her, and can take nourishment in
the ordinary Tho Hnn4n~c
hope that in the course of
a few days she will be able to
explain the mystery, for there is no
means Of getting at her identity. She
had no papers upon her but a purse con-
tanning few francs, some religious
coins and a chaplet. The widest public
ity has been given to the case, and sew
eral women, whose daughters are missing
have come to the hospital IN the expecta-
ton OF recognizing her. One or two have
at first believed that she was their
daughter, out subsequent inquiries have
proved them to be mistaken.

Hzclv Japanese Widows Wear Their
Hair.

Hair.
My new friend the teacher was a Wild
ow and meant never to marry again.
But do you say how did you know. when
you couldn't talk together? I know by
her hair. 1t is science in Japan-this
study Of the doing Of the hair. The age
and sex Of baby may be known by the
tuft in the back of the neck, or the ring
around the crown, or the bunch left in
front while oil the rest is shaved. 4
girl of or 6 has her hair made up into
a bow on the back and wound round
with red Grape, while the front is shaved
bare and bangs dangle at the sides. A
young lady combs hers high In front
and arranged as a butterfly on the back
OF her head, and plumaged with gold or
silver cord and gay hair-pins of gilt
balls. Some very stylish young ladies
prefer to have their back hair resemble
half-open fan instead of butterfly, A
married woman must keep the waterfall
style, while widow who is willing to
think OF matrimony wears her hair tied
and twisted around a long shell hair-pin
placed horizontally across the back of
the head. But when widow firmly re-
solves never to change her name again
she cuts OF her hair short in her neck
aud combs it back without any part,
This IS the way my new friend, the
teacher, wore hers.-ROat3aG the World

SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 3l.-The comm is

OF seven Gentiles, nine apostate Mormons
and eight Mormons. Judge Roge, Democrat,

for every precinct subject to
the approval of the commissioners.
There is great dissatisfaction among the Gen

registers can reform the territory and perform
the duty for which they were sent here by
placing Mormons in the responsible position
