SENsAT1ON'INA CHICAGO COURT-A dramatic
and startling scene occurred in the Sturla-Stiles
murder case in Chicago yesterday. The de-
PENDANT, Sturia, went on the stand not long after
the opening of court and began the story Of her
relations with the man, Stiles, she at last killed.
1t was long recital Of abuse and brutality at
the hands Of the dead man, and occupied nearly
five hours In the telling. AS she approached the
date of the tragedy the recollections overcame
her and she grew nervous and incoherent When
she began to describe her walk into the city
through the rain from Sunnyside on the night
before the murder, she suddenly threw M her
hands and fell forward from the witness chair
In historical commissions which II required hall
dozen mea to restrain. With her shrieks rin9-
Ing through the rocM she Was removed, and the

Cremation q Good Thing.

From TIE London World
There are only three ways In which dead
bodies can be disposed of-either In earth sea
or fire. There are obvious objections. ON the
score Of good taste, to sending our dead to be
torn to pieces By fishes. 1t is also certain that
our cemeteries and graveyards. with slowly
dccompOsing masses of animal matter leads to
the surrounding soil being poisoned by the
production Of putrcfactiOn-a result that can
not be considered healthy by any stretch Of
Imagination. But II we burn dead body to
ashes We do or nee1 do injury to nobody,
There is nothing uRwholesome in the ashes,
which may be preserved with reverent care
as sacred relics. and people who prefer to burn
their dead rather than let them lie in cold
obstruction and rot" have both sense and
science on their side Indeed we have never
heard OF anything Ike q good argument against
cremation. save one 1t is that started by
Beigium statesman, vino holds that if we burn
DEAD bodies we essen the chances Of detecting
cases OF poisoning. But surely it would be
possible TO devise means whereby, whilst the
body was consumed. the stomach of each CORPSE
might be preserved for certain time after
death. lest it might be wanted DOR ANALYSIS.
We do not share the terror of those bishops
who. like DIR. Wordsworth think that crcua-
fiOn mag tampcr with the popular belief i'm the
resurrection OF the body; EOr can we affect to
sympathZc with the late home secretary, who.
when cremation was once bruit ed i'm his pres

Interesting Facts About Hair.

= ARemarkable Deal i'm whist.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, Nov. "a.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Culver club
house, Clay Culbertson. Jerry Ktersted, Alex
ander Starbuck. and E. G. Webster entered into
game of whist. After the first hand had been
played, Mr.. Webster, whose turn it was to deal.
took the cards, shuff1ed them, and, after they
had been cut by Mr.. Kiersted, dealt. Each
player, as he arranged his cards, appeared to
be laboring under some unusual excitement
Mr.. Culbertson, whose turn 1t was to play, and
who generally is~ery prompt in placing his card
on the table, delayed the play until Mr.. Starbuck
broke the omnous silence which prevailed by
exclaiming, gentlemen, have the most re-
markable whist hand l ever held 1 hold thr-
teen hearts" 'And l." remarked Mr. gilbert
son, ''hOld equally as remarkable hand.
have thirteen spades" "And l." nervously said
Mr.. Kierstedt, 81 have the thirteen diamonds"
"OfcOurse. hold the thirteen trumps" quickly
chmed in the dealer Mr.. Webster. To say the
players were unduly excited at such an expose
of the hands but feebly expressed their men
tai condition at the time. The conversation
that ensued relative to this unexpected event
in whist among the players and members. as
they dropped in during the afternoon. was de-
cdcdly animated. No one had ever heard of
holding such hands in whist. A case occurred
In O Boston club year or 80 ago where player
held the thirteen trumps, and also similar case
In a New York club but aside from these two
no one could report even such hands as these.

Phrases of Women.

From the London Spectator.
Wrinkles disfgure q woman less than III
nature.-Dupuy.
Woman is an idol that man worships until he
throws it down.
Women love always; when earth slips from (
them they take refuge in heaven.
The whisper OF a beautiful woman can be heard
further than the loudest call of duty.
There is no torture that woman would mott
suffer to enhance her beauty -Montaigne
OF all things that man possesses women alone
take pleasure in being Observation-Disclosures.
Before promising a woman to love only her,
one should have seen them all, or should see
only her.-A. Dupuy.
We meet In society many beautiful and attrac,
tive women whom We think would make excel
lent wives-for our friends
We censure the Inconsistency OF women when
we are the victims; We find 1t charming when
We are the Objects Desnoyers.
The highest mark OF esteem q woman can ,
give q man is to ask his friendship; and the
most signal proof of her indifference 10 to OFFER
him hers.
At twenty, a man is less a lover of woman,
than of women; he is more in love with the sex
than with the individual, however charming
she may be.-Retif de la Bretonne.
Men are 30 fearful Of wounding wOman'ol
vanity that they rarely remember that she mayj
by some possibility possess a grain Of common
sense.-Miss Braddon.
Women among savages is a beast Of burden; 1
in Asia she is piece of furniture; In Europe She
is q spelled child.-Senac de Meilhan.
1t is not easy to be q widow; one must re-,
assume all the modesty Of girlhood, without
being allowed to feign its Ignorance. -Madaml
de Girardin.
Women Of the world never use harsh express,
sions when condemning their rivals. Like the
savage, they hurl elegant arrows, ornamental
with feathers Of purple and azure, but vita
poisoned points.

about half mile northwest of South Butte, and
stands alone at the head of an extensive and
picturesque glen. The rock is about 5Ox1O0

on top. To reach the top from three sides it is
necessary to climb perpendicular wall from

at only one point. and thereby crawling through

termlned to rob the mammoth hive. They were
supplied with powder, fuse, drills. bars, &C.,
with which to assail the stronghold. Few of
the invaders had nerve enough to cross the
bridge, but three of them got over all right and
fired blast. The result was cloud of bees
that made them retreat. Next day the assault
was renewed and, after lively battle of three
hours, the bees were defeated. The dead bee 9
niled three grain sacks to Overfowing. The
cave was then blasted open and the party found

FREE TRADE IN sH,IPs.

Congressman Farwell has introduced 9
bin looking to free trade in ships. He
desires to make it possible for an Ameri.
can to buy ships in England, if he SO
DESIRES and to sail them under the Ameri-
can flag. The bill authorizes their enroll
ment and registry as American vessels,
subject to the proviso that they shall not
engage in the coasting trade, l. e., sail
from one port of the United States to an
other. Mr.. Farwell states in support of
his bill, that he knows an American who
asked for terms on the building of an iron
steamship at the same time from John
Roach and from ship-builder on the.
Clyde. John Roach asked sa5o, 900. The
English ship-builder asked 800, 900. The
American got his ship built in England.
