Lady YIorence.s verscity.

CHICAGO, March Elm reply to the
recent charge of Lady Florence Dixie
against Patrick Eagan the latter said, in
an interview to-day, In regard to Lady
Dixie's assertion that she did not know
Richard Piggott, that a pamphlet Of
eighty pages WAS placed in the hands Of
n Dublin printing firm last September,
containing the grossest charges against
the Land League. 1t had page intro
duction sigued by Lady Dixie, but the
rest Of the pamphlet was in Piggott's
handwriting and proofs were sent him.
After dozen or more copies were
printed Lady Dixie became frightened
at the array Of charges and caused all
thr books TO be destroyed and the plates
broken. Mr.. Pagan says he has n copy
OF the pamphlet and is aware that all
Lady bikes statements were taken
from IL. As to her call on Pagan to
prove his denial of her charges he say-
she has no standing from which to at
tack the Land League at all. She has
never subscribed Il penny nor pretended
to have any sympathy with the League,
and Nv rot an Irish woman. She Is not
u daughter Of the Peer. Her recent fab
rication about the bogus attack on her
should show what value there is in any
thing she says. He repeats the story
that Pggott, as editor of the Irisl,'nan,
told him that Dublin Castle officials had
offerered Piggott 1000 to publish tcti-
tious statements of Land League ac-
counts in his paper. Piggott offered to
suppress these statement for f300,
which Eagan refused TO give. Pagan
says these statements are the same as
those promulgated by Lady Florence
against the League.

The laugh is on Il Cincinnati police
sergeant who. the other evening, ;lc-
copied the assistance Ola philosophical
citizen in an attempt to catch a couple
Of burglars HE had seen the burglars
trying the shutters Of Il house in a dark
alley, and the citizens came along just
in time 10 act the part of a Waterman
while the officer went around the block
in order TO come upon them from the
rear. But before he could carry out his
design, the burglars fled. Although
much disappointed, he took particular
pain, to thank the citizen for his disil-
terested aid, and it was not until the
next day that he discovered how COM
pletely he hail been taken in by a clever

(heaDentSlg the Prices,

The price Of whisky was lowered two
CENTS on Tuesday by order of the mana
ger Of the Cincinnati whisky pool. The
action was accompanied by the rumor
Of IA dissolution Of the pool, but Presi-
dent Miller says there is no cause for
trouble : that the pool is us strong now
as ever, and that the disastrous failures
which have occurred of late. together
with the decentralization in Kentucky,
makes the existence of the pool more
important than ever. 1t is the only
means for safety so long rs cattle are in
stables. He attributes the decline to
the fall in corn and says he has for
some time thought ~ too high. The
pool leaves the price Of spirits aud other
goods subject to such fluctuations ~
manufacturers choose to make.

IOHN WANAMAkER,
1901 Chestnut.

One OF a set OF silk foul
ards that came yesterday
deserves notice for its happy
color-work. The figures
are Passion Flower sprays of
about the natural size, of
flower leaf; and are, perhaps,
not extraordinary in them
selves. The bronze pattern
is the one to be looked at.
The ground of plain bronze
is pictured with sprays of
shaded bronze with little
strong touches OF crimson
and. if you look closely, nile
green and brownish orange
and pink. Not that these
colors belong to the Passion
Flower. 1t is as if you were
looking into a distant smoky
air, and these flowers we're
hung near by and half-lost
in the haze. You do not
think of color, nor of silk,
nor of dress. 1t is by some
thing of an effort that you
remember that it is a picture|
and a dress that you are
looking at; Sl.65 a yard.

a long breath and said, 'whoosh! Hen
merry, your pa is mighty sick man. The
deacon came up next, and he had run his
head INTO hanging shelf and broke a
glass jar of huckleberries, and they We're
all over him, and he SAID, give me air.
Earth's but a desert drear.' Then ma
and the deacon's wife came up on a gal
lQp, and they looked tired. Pa began to
peel off his coat and vest and said he was
going out to bury them, and ma said he
could bury her, too, and l asked the dea
con if he didn't notice faint odor Of
sewer gas coming from the cellar, and
my chum said it smelled more to him as
though something had crawled in the
cellar and died. Well, you meyer saw
sicker crowd, and islt sorry for ma and
the deacon, cause their false teeth fell
out, ann knew ma couldn't gossip and
the deacon couldn't talk sassy without
teeth. But you'd didc to see pa. He
was mad and thought the deacon had put
up the job on him, and he was going to
knock the deacon out in two rounds,
when ma said there was no use in getting
mad about dispensation of providence,
and pa said one more such dispensation
of providence would just kill him on the
spot. They finally got the house aired,
and my cl,un and me slept on the hay
in the barn, after we had opened the out
side cellar door SO the animal could get
out, and the next morning l had the
fever and ague, and pa and ma brought
me home, and have been firing quiniue
down my neck ever since. Pa says it is
malaria, but it is getting up before day
light in the morning and prowling around
a farm doing chores before it is time to
do chores, and don't want any more
farm. I thought at Sunday school last
Sunday, when the superintendent talked
about the odor of sanctity that pervaded
the house ON the beautiful morning, and
looked at the deacon, that the deacon
thought the superintendent was referring
to him and pa, but may be it was an ac-
cldent. Well, must go home and shoot
another charge of quinine into me, and
the boy went out as if he was on his last
legs, though he acted as if he was going
to have little fun while he did last.
