Mr.. Heaven, the owner of Lundy Island,
is dead. Although the English Govern
ment was more than once desirOus of pur-
chasing the freehold of the island, he de-
clined on any consideration to part with
a property over which there was no one
his right to dispute. Perhaps he had the
feeling in his mind which influenced
Thomas StOOkeley, the DevOnshire adyen-
turer, when he told Queen Elizabeth that
he would rather be the first person in the
Isle of Man than the second in England.
More than million of ships pass the
island every year, and when certain winds
prevail scores of vessels lie in safety un-
der the shelter of its cliffs; but at present
there are no certain means of communica-
tion between it and the mainland. Its
cliffs are celebrated in Kingsley's prose,
and the curious formations of the rocks
on the northwest corner OF the island are
unsurpassed even in Cornwall. An en-
thusiast in botany or OrnithOlOgy. who is
not scared by solitude, would find a resi-
dence upon Lundy Island to furnish him
with opportunities of study for years.

witnesses and defendants in election
cases were discharged from further at

November next.
The District Attorney replied that the

Attempted Robbery OF a Bride.

An incident which occurred at the
wedding of Miss Florence Smith to
Baron Won fricsen at the Church of the
Holy Trinity last Wednesday afternoon
has just been made known. As the
newly married pair left the church and
reached their carriage the crowd, which
was very dense, thronged about them
i'm its anxiety To see the bride, and for
an instant interfercd with the Baron's
entering the carriage after his wife.
This moment of time was taken advant,
age of by u rascal on the opposite side
of the carriage. who quickly opened the
door and attempted To snatch the dia-
mond brooch with which the brides
veil was fastened, and which was the
gift of her newly-made husband. The
Baroness feeling the mans hand ut her
throat graspcd his wrist and pushed
him back, and at the same moment the
Baron catered the carriage, and, sup
posing the opposite door had boon
opened by some overzealous spectator,
pulled it to with u slam, very badly
smashing the forelinger of his wife's
left hand. On the way to her fathers
house, No. 1918 Walnut Street, the pain
was so great that the young lady mo-
mentarily tainted away, and again LOST
CONSCIOUSNESS on reaching homo. Not
withstandipg this and the distressing
fact that her finger was so badly hurt
that the injured nall came off as soon as
it was touched, the Baroness bravely
stood up for half an hour and received
the congratulations of the hundreds of
friends who attended the reception AT
the house, Philadelphia Rocom,

The Handsomest Man In France.

The S'Dude!"

The "dude" has recently become so
prominent figure in the society of
cities Us to be awarded almost the same
amount of attention that was given the
male msthete when he first made his
appearance. The attention, however,
must. from the nature of things, be of
totally different character. The
"dude" Is q wcll-bred dawdlcr because
he chooses to be so, and the male
aesthetic is frequently an offensive idiot
because he cant be anything better.
Where the effort for the reformation of
the one would be sincere by reason of
the probable good to flow from It, that
In the case of the other would have this
Encouraging element entirely lacking.
The "dude' il always masculine IN
gender, but feminine i'm manner and
speech. He is well-bred, well-dressed,
educated and conservative. He never
strikes silly attitudes, oiliciously en-
beavers to monopolize attention, nor
wearlong hair. He never wears clothes
so loud or so sparse that they shock the
sensibilitles of other people. He is
well read In literature, past and pres
ent, and knows enough of art to'dis-
tinguish good work from bad. He
never under any circumstance forces
his opinion upon the attention of others
md when once drawn out it is so ex-
tremely conservative as to border on
seemingly difiidcnt vagueness.
u is in none of these things that the
"dudo" differs from other society
men, so as to call for public notice. But
H.. -.
OF his being an entirely negative guam
tity. There is nothing positive about
him, He says nothing he does moth
Ing that necessity does not de-
mand of him. Either out of a pure
feeling of indifference, q fancied spirit
of cynicism, or morbid love of semi
melaneholia, he simply dawdles through
his young life, just near enough the
whirl of action to be safe from its
sweep. With everything in the world
in his favor, no Is ono of those unsatis-
factory beings about whom the best
thing to be said Is that you can't say

says nothing.
Now, a young man like this ought to
be awakened to a sense of what he is
throwing away. There are two rene
dies which are morally certain to cure
him. He should either he thrown on
the world to fight with other men the
stern struggle of and for existence, or he
should fall head over heels in love with
some hearty, vivacious, progressive girl
who objects to being married to a non
entity, no matter how amiable. If then
there is that substratum of manlincss
