INSPECTION
Female Gymnasts iss Nesc York.
A correspondent writes: The rage TO


A correspondent writes: The rage for
physical development among young women
is increasing. Glasses are forming in gym
nasiums where young ladies and girls are
taught, and also small clubs which receive
instruction in private houses. One of the
latest phases of this mania is an Unsuitable
desire on the part of many young ladies to
learn fencing. It has become fashionable
accomplishment in Europe, which is quite
enough to make girls here ambitious to &C.
| quire it. Last year there were only few
classes, and they we're small. This year
| there will be scores of young women poking
swords at each other. One of the best-known
gymnasiums in the city is within stones
throw of the Windsor hotel. The young
ladies who go there for instruction and
practice have little retiring rooms similar
to lighthouses. When they emerge they
have costume consisting of basque or
trousers. The agility, grace, and skill
they show at the various exercises is aston
ishing. They are quicker to learn than
boys, am told, and much more graceful
at everything they undertake. At first
they are made to make certain movements
with their fingers, hands and arms. Then
they are taught to swing dumb-bells and
clubs, keeping time to music. As the
average young Judy does not straighten
out her arms properly when in
the first stages of her training the wooden
dumb bells have little brass bells on them
that jingle when the movements are made
with proper force. One of the exercises
they are put through is that of marching
with sticks for guns. They like this very
much, and carry their head with jaunty
air. What young chap is there that would
not pay good fee at the door to see them
going through their evolutions! But the
professor vigorously excludes spectators.
The advanced classes are required to
practice on the horizontal bar. Begin
ners in this exercise have great difficulty
in swinging their feet over, but some
of the perservering ones go through a
great variety of movements with the
grace of an acrobat. Swinging in rings
suspended on long ropes is favorite ex-
ercise. In one corner of the room there
are several poles in an upright position,
most Incredible, but nevertheless a fact,
that young women will spend hours climb
ing these poles. The most popular exer-
else is that of mounting and vaulting over
wooden horse. They make rush at this
and spring into wooden saddle, and after
much practice they go over almost with
out touching. The private classes usually
meet in garnet so many times week for
lessons and practice. When young lady
who has the physical development craze is
detained at home by a rainy day she goes
up to the garnet and develops her muscle.

tract, by the good clergy, who will group
the prayers for all corners, and rattle them

extract from the pastoral letter of Lord
ship Bishop Walsh, which has been sent
promiscuously over the country by the pro-
motors of the lottery. 1t is as follows:
'We (the bishop solemnly promise and
engage to cause high mass to be cele-
brated on the first Friday of every month,
for the space of ten gears, for the temper
al and eternal welfare of the benefactors
of the new cathedral. The celebration of
the aforesaid mass will begin on the first
Friday of every month following its dedi-
cation. We request of the reverend clergy
to make this fact well known to their peo-
pie, and to explain the great spiritual ia
vors to be gained thereby.
IN. B.-Persons purchasing or disposing
of tickers for the coming bazaar will gain
the above favors."
The above circular was sent to many
prominent citizens, accompanied by the
printed forms for the sale of tickets, etc.
A good deal of fun has been poked at red
hot Orangemen who have been thus IA
vored. Comment on this open gambling
for the purpose of gaining money under
false pretepces is needless in this enlight-
ened nineteenth century.

Miss Sarah Capel, the daughter of Mr..
John 81. Capel, of No. 176 Ryerson street,
Brooklyn, yesterday told a reporter of the
World the story of the domestic unhappi-
ness of Engineer George W. Melville, of
the Jeanette expedition. Miss Capels
story was substantially as follows:
''My father, who is an elderly man, has
known Mr.. Melville for the last twenty five
years and is very much attached to him.
Ny father fully appreciates Mr.. Melville's
worth. When Mrs. Melville was taken to
an insane asylum at Norristown, Pa, Mr..
Melville, who was likely to be for some
time detained in Washington on business
connected with the Jeanette expedition,
telegraphed for my father to go to Shar
on lodge and take care of his house
and look out for his business there. He
went, as q matter of course, and is
dao afternoon, informing him of the car
rying away of Maude, but have not heard
anything from him yet. I am very much
tomorrow I shall send someone there t.
find out what the reason is"
"How came Maud to be in your custody.

"About six weeks ago." replied Mis-,

father and partly for recreation. I Ibid no

the true state of affairs, became anxious
to get Maude away from the influences by
which she has been surrounded for so
many years, and it was finally arranged
that should bring her home with
me to Brooklyn. brought her with the
full consent and approval of her father.
It was the intention that should keep her

her father could arrange his business SO as
to take charge of her, and arrangements
had been made to legalize the affair so as

THE FORGED DISPATCH.
A Clue to the Rascal Who Sent the
Bogus Telegram.

ALBANY, Sept 80.
A Saratoga dispatch says that on the night
before Mr.. French received the forged des-
patch, man Of middle age with gray beard,
and wearing high white hat, stepped up to
the telegraph Office in the Grand Union Hotel
and wrote message on one of the ordinary
sending blanks. lie tore up three or four
blanks before he wrote q message that ap
peared to suit him. He folded the blank and
asked the operator for Western Union en-
velope. The operator told him that he was
allowed to use the envelopes only in sending
out messages. The stranger then went to the
hotel office and made the same request Of the
clerk. Not succeeding there, he paced ner-
vously up and down the floor for few min
utes. He then went GU: and soon returned
with an envelope in his hand, which he
dropped into the letter box in the hotel. 1t
was in this box that the fraudulent message
for Mr.. French was found on the owing
morning. 1t was taken to MIR. French's
room, and few minutes later Mr.. French
was before the State committee to claim Col
lector Robertson's place. The gray-bearded
man would be instantly recognized by those
who saw him in the hotel. He is familiar
figure in political gatherings.

Gray Released.

DUBLIN, Sept. 80.
Judge lawson today, at the conclusion of
the session of commission court, ordered the
release of f. Dwyer Gray on payment of
$500. Gray's bail was RENTED.
Justice Lawson, in ordering the release of
E. Dryer Gray. pointed out that since his
imprisonment considerable change for the
better had taken place in the tone of his
paper, Freemans Journal. The judge said
the action taken by himself and the law of,
fcers had been efectual in preventing the
course of justice from being impeded. The
order of the court in regard to Gray's
sureties was made to prevent any publica-
tons, similar to the Objectionable one, from
appearing, but in the event of such publica-
ton here the executive had full power nee
essary to deal with them, and was also, he
added, not without hope that a reaction
would spring up against this system of
crime and outrage which has so long dis
graced the country.

4 YALE COLLEGE STUDENT
Obtains Money of Hi- College Mates
Under False PretenceS.
NEw HAVEN. CT {

New HAVEN, CT, Oct. l.
The case of Albert Smith. Yale, arrested
Wednesday for obtaining money under false
pretences. gave rise to meetings of the three
lower classes Thursday, and it was found he
had obtained 500 from juniors, Sl03 from
sophomore and $50 from freshmen. 1t is
known that one member of SO paid him $50
which was not included the above and I'M
doubtedy he has received other smaller
sums. At the meetings E. L. LINDSEY,
Esq, appeared for Smith and offered to re-
fund the money. The offer was accepted by
some, but many refused to settle
the case and offered to appear at the trial as
witnesses. Undoubtedly the whole amount
which Smith has received will fall not far
short of $500. Examination was set for to-
day, but has been adjourned until next week.
