IL should be added, is nowhere repre-
scented as being scandalized by Calvin's
Sunday boWl-playing. While the impor-
tatiOn Of the continental Sunday is to
be deprecated, the example Of Calvin,
not to speak of that of Luther who took
the same view Of Sunday that the Roman
Catholics do, should justify the park con-

pie can enjoy it.
Miss Lulu Hurst is experiencing a re-
action. The impression Is gaining ground
that she is not much Of wonder after
all, but merely very muscular girl with
great nervous force. Funny enough. her
reputation suffered most at her matinee
Yesterday at which only women We're adj
mitted. Although she got the better Of
Mrs. Langtry, some Of the women who
tackled her yesterday stood up against
her more successfully than did the ath-
letes Of the Union Club, and showed that
they, too, possessed her peculiar power
in a greater or less degree.
FASHIONABLE NEW WORKERS,
who are not too far away to get their
newspapers, must have been not a little
exercised at reading of the arrest of
Bradhurst Schieffiin's third wife for
bigamy. Although only wholesale drug
gists, in place OF being professional men,
the Schiefflins, with their families, be-
long to 'gOOd society,"" and both entertain
and are entertained by the "best people,"
Mr.. Schiefflin had married and lost two
wives, when he took to his bosom an
alleged adventures with any number of
aliases, who already had a husband in an
insane asylum. Before the latter lost his
property and became lunitic, she is said
to have dined and wined the Grand
Duke Alexis when he visited Cleveland,
where she then lived in luxury.
One can make himself feel half dozen

DEATH OF A FAMOUS COW.
A Jersey for which $500 was Twice


A Jersey for which S15, 900 was Twice
Refused.
The Jersey cow Bomba, No. 10,330, says
the New York Times, died on Saturday
last of milk fever at the farm of her
breeder and owner, A. B. Darling, near
Ramseys, n. j., two days after having
dropped her fourth calf, bull, by OAR
ling's Rioter. This was the first COW
that openly challenged public skepticism
regarding her alleged great butter yield,
and her trial of seven days In the hands OF
a disbelieving committee in the fall Of
1882, did, perhaps, more than any other
one thing to establish public confidence in
the claims made ON behalf of Jersey cat
tie. The result of the test was 81 pounds
liz ounces of unsalted butter in seven
DAYS, and it still remains the
best public record for a COW milk
ing in second calf, though one
private trial claims to surpass it.
Bomba had Just reached the age at which
her famous grand-dam Eurotas, No. 2, 454,
came to the zenith of her capacity, and it
was in contemplation to test her the CON-
ing year, in expectation OF reallZing her
owners prediction, that COW Will yet be
found capable of yielding 900 pounds Of
butter, followed by calf, all within a
year, In the combination sale in May
last Bomba's daughter, an s months
heifer. brought 5000 at auction. Her
second calf. a bull, now heads Col. H. S..
RusselPs herd, near Boston, Mass, and
sold privately for a similar sum. The
owner of Bomba received two cash offers
of $4,000 each for her, shortly after her
notable test, but preferred to retain her,
in hopes of demonstrating the correctness
of his estimate of the possible capacity OF
"A COW for bTtter-0iylng.

THE OTHER GEORGIA WONDER.
A Broken Contract and Probable
Lawsuit.


Lawsuit.
If the attempt of the last Georgia won
der, Miss Amy Lee Price, to get away
from Col. Miles is successful, it will break
up the plan which the various managers
of various wonders had to pool their
issues. 1t was arranged by Messrs. Miles
and Frohman that they should take these
young women to various parts of the
country and work them while the furore
lasted. Even they are not sanguine
enough to suppose that it will last
long, because it is feared that pretenders
will arise in all parts of the'United States.
Hurst being the original, will probably
last longer than any of the others.
Miss Prices action will benefit nobody,
n01 even herself or her parents.
Mr.. Miles, who made the contract with
the last named wonder, said: "Betore
bringing on Miss Price here l desired to
see what was in the business. If Miss
Hurst were a failure it would be no good
to attempt it. When she took so well l
sent for Miss Price to her home in Georgia,
where she had gone. l had contract
with her manager, a Mr.. Cunyus, and
paid their expenses to New York. l
bought the wonder dresses and shoes and
hats and all that sort of thing to make
her presentable. found that during. the
few exhibitions she had given her
manager had lost money, but believing
she would now be able to do well,
offered her manager a better contract
than the first one / had made with him.
By this he was to receive 5000 week and
the father of the girl was to get 300.
think now that if had offered Mr.. Cunyus
the extra hundred, he would not
have attempted to make a contract else
where. But on the very next morning
learned that he had signed new contract
with man named Bullock. Conyus
swore to me that the father was the cause
of it. The father told me afterwards that
he was induced TO sign by Conyuns, who
had not told him the new contract had
offered him. But / swore l would follow
them wherever they went and put in my
claim to their services. 1t is not that l
care so much about the matter, but that l
will not be trifled with in this way. l
first of all put a watch on their house, for
l understood they would skip if they
could, and then l sent to court for an in
junction. / intend that they shall carry
out their contract with me if it costs me
fortune. l think the girl will be success
full. She is a mere child, and therefore
the feats she does, which are better any
way than Miss Hurst's, would appear the
more wonderful

HIGH-ToNED sMUGGLERs.
The sweIIs Who May Bring in ValuabIes
Duty Free.


II could tell you some interesting
stories about the United States treasury
smugglers and their Devices" said a
special agent in the custom house, to
New York Dial reporter, this morning.
'.Only two days ago we found some hun
dreds of cigars in the condenser of one of
the steamers. The goods were all spoiled,
but the smugglers were caught. But that
doesn't come up to the diamond SNUG
glers. who are mostly females. They have
greater chances than a man. Only the
other day we found over $4,000 In the
heels of a pair of old boots, which were
LAID carelessly around the steamer during
the voyage across. Sometimes woman
will have over fifty yards of fine lace on
an old white skirt. What can you say!
WHY. you cannot do anything. Presum-
ably high-toned American citizens go over
and buy thousands of dollars worth OF
clothing. and can bring it in with impun-
ity; and this kind of smuggling has in
creased considerably since the recent
decision of Judge Blatchford in the Astor
case. because they have now only to plead
social position and they can get any
amount of goods through duty Free"

THE DOG SURVIVED.
BuryIng L self in swamp Mud after Hav-
ing been Bitten Big RattIesnakes.

BuryIng 1. self in Swamp Mud after HaY-
ing been Bitten Big RattIesnakes.
John Davis and George Miller drove
from Collonsville to this city on Monday,
says Williamsport pa special to the
New York Sun. When they were cross
ing the mountain at place known as the
Old Hermit's, a valuable coach dog which
accompanied them ran off into the woods.
Soon afterward they heard him yelping
in n peculiar manner. Both men jumped
from the wagon and hurried in the direc-
ton of the cries. They came in sight of
the dog in a small hollow, and found him
in fight with several rattlesnakes,
which surrounded him on a large fiat
rock, and struck him from every side.
Miller and Davis each seized long club
and went to the dogs assistance. They
killed eleven rattlesnakes, and many 9TH
ers escaped among the rocks. The larg-
est one was four feet long, and had seven
teen rattles.
While the men were busy cutting off
the rattles of the snakes they mad slam
Miller was overcome by the peculiarly
offensive odor that characterizes rattle
snakes, and Davis was obliged to help
him away from the spot. 1t was several
minutes before he recovered from the
effects of the poisoned air. The dog was
nowhere to be seen. DAVIS went BACK
into the woods to look for him. In pass
ing by the spot where the snakes had
been Killed, he saw a number of live ones,
which had come out of their holes among
the rocks, gliding around their dead COM
panions, springing their rattles, and every
motion denOting fury. Davis beat
~~+-aat. and went off in another diree-
ton 1S', calling his aoy. Suddenly he came
mon mon tbe dog. with his body embedded IN
a mire hole in swampy spot, Its lead
alone was above the surface. Dogs bitten
bv rattlesnakes instinctively seek such
places and bury themselves in the mud.
Old snake hunters say that if dog is
able to find swamp mud and covers him
self with it, it will invariably draw out
the poison. Davis left his dog in the
swamp, and drove on to this city with
Miller. Last evening the dog arrived
home, apparently none the worse for its
encounter with the yenomous reptiles,
although it must have been bitten by
them many times.

A LADY,s SECRETARY MISSING.
A Mysterious Stranger Says He viii be
Returned for $1,000.


This entire section of country is in
tumult of excitement, says Chattanooga
special to the New York World, over the
singular disappearance Of young man
named John A. Neal, a member of a very
prominent family of Huntsville, Ala.
Neal was private Secretary for Miss Maud
St. Pierre. She is very wealthy, and re-
GENTLY bought $4,000 acres in Franklin
county. Tenn. for SIS, 900. Neal was sent
TO look after the property. On Sunday
morning, June 10, he left the hotel for a
walk through the woods, and at noon was
seen on top of the mountain sitting by
tine roadside plucking flowers. Since
then he has not been seen. Miss st. Pierre
emDIOved TWENTY-FIVE men and instructed
them to search night and day for him.
Boats were built, and every stream for
ten miles was dragged. Canons, abysses
and gulches were thoroughly searched.
Skilled detectives were put to work IN all
the neighboring cities and towns, ana
railroad agents and conductors were put
on guard, but as vet no trace OF nm mas
been found. The lady says her accounts
were left all right and Neal did not have
one cent of her money in his possession.
He was in good circumstances and IN
good spirits. A few days since a man
was heard to exclaim in a crowd: "If
MISS st. Pierre will offer $1,000 ransom
Neal will be produced The man was
looked for but could not be found.

SWEARING AFTER A PRAYER.
The Curious Mistake Religious Lady
Made in the Custom House.

The Curious Mistake Religious Lazy
Made in the Custom House.
An elderly lady with delicate features
and refined manners, says the New York
World of July 10, entered the custom
house yesterday with timid steps. 1t was
evident that she had never been there
before, and she seemed bewildered by the
whirl, hustle and clatter of the rotunda.
The doorkeeper directed her to the desk
where she could transact her business.
This was of nature that required-as
nearly everything at the custom house
does-an oath.
ssYou'll have to swear to this, madam"
said the Deputy Collector to the old lady.
Her pious countenance became very
thoughtful and troubled at this announce
ment. She said nothing, but anxi0usly
watched the Deputy Collector make out
her papers. This done he said:
'sDo you swear to this, MADAME
The old lady had clearly made up her
mind that it was necessary for her to pass
the ordeal. So, with sweet but hesita-
ting voice, she replied:
ssGOd have mercy on me-Damn IT,
The Deputy Collector was dumbfounded
by this reply, but glance at the lady as
sured him of her sincerity. She had mis-
taken swearing" for profanity, and had
actually believed that it was necessary
for her to utter a "swear Word' in order
to get her papers.
