Adelaide Rstoria was welcomed to
America last Thursday for the third time
in her long career. She was accompanied
by her husband, the Marquis del Grille,
and son. She makes her debut in English,
Nov. 10, at the Chestnut St. Theatre, Phil
adel phia, probably in "Marie Antoinette,"
for the presentation of which she has
brought with her scenery and costumes.
From Philadelphia she goes to Chicago;
She will not appear in New York until
Christmas week. Her repertory includes
What changes are wrought by culture
and civilization. The early Britons, the
remote ancestors Of the present race, are
thus sketched by Taine in his English
Literature Huge with bodies, with
fierce blue eyes, ravenous stomachs, of a
cold temperament, slow to love, home
stayers, prone to brutal drunkenness; pi-
rates at first, seafaring, war and piilage
their only idea of freeman's work. Of
all barbarians the most cruelty ferocious.
Torture and carnage, greed of danger, fury
ofdestruction, obstinate and frenzied, bray-
cry OF an overstrong temperament, with a
great and coarse appetite" Who can dis.
cover any resemblance in the Englishman
Of to-day to this picture?

Wild on clogS.-Oscar Wilde says: Why
should clogs be despised? Much art has
been expended upon clogs. They have
bten made of lovely wood, and delicately
inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. A
clog might be dream of beauty and, if
not too high or too heavy, most comfort

One of the latest feminine diversions in
England is spinning-introduced by one of
Ruskin's pupils Il is graceful and de-
corous pastime, and there is no reason why
with good wheel and loom, the contem-
porary belle should not spin her wedding
sheets as well as her greatgrand-mother did.

Deaths From Cholera.

ToULoN, July 20.-For the twenty-four
hours ending at.six this evening forty-six
deaths are reported. In the same time 10
cases were received at the hospitals. The
refusal of the municipal authorities to
allow procession of women in the streets
Offering prayers for the cessation Of the
scourge created bad impression.
MAasEiLLEs, July 20.- For the twenty.
four hours ending at 8 p. m. there were If
ty-seven deaths. The Chamber of Com
merce voted an appropriation of 10000
francs for the relief Of the sufferers to-day.
Three deaths occurred at Brignoles.
PARIS, July o0.-Two fresh sporadic
cases of cholera are reported. A notice
able fall in the temperature to-day is re-
garded as the best safeguard against the
disease becoming epidemic. A lady whose
husband died in one of the small towns
outside Marseilles, has been refused by
the Mayor permission to see the corpse OF
her husband, or even to enter her own
house, and has to encamp in the open air.
Instances of heroism alternate with the
terrible cowardice. The Sisters of Charity
are true to their duty.

A BRAVE GIRL,
Miss Eta Mccall Rescues a Baby From
a cistern at the Risk Of Her Life.
A Deed Requiring Such Bravery and EH
duraace as Few Men Possess.

CINCINNATI, July 2o.-Ella Mccall, .
modest, unassumipg young lady residing
at 220 Longworth street, near Smith, has
suddenly become beroine, having per-
formed feat requiring such bravery and
endur ance as few men possess. Yesterday
afternoon as she sat at her sewing she
was. startled by piercing screams coming
from the side-yard. Rushing to the window
she was in time to see frankie Parr, the
four-year-old child of the servant employed
in the family, disappear down the cistern,
the cap of which had inadvertently been
removed. 1t took her but an instant to
reach the opening, where she could see the
little fellow houndering about eight
feet below in four feet of water. Unfortu-
nately she was alone in the house at the time.
The little boy sank below the surface, and
there was no help at hand to summon. 1t
was a time to act rather than to think, and
without taking into consideration what
might be the consequences to herself, Miss
Mccall grasped the rim of the cistern and
lowered herself through the orifce.
Hanging suspended at arms length
for q second, she dropped into the water,
barely missing the struggling and almost
exhausted child. In striking the bottom
abe lost her footing, and was herself SUBJ
merged in the chilling water. She managed
70 get the BOY into ner arms In Time 10 saVe
his life. She cried for assistance, but no
one being at home, no one came. She tried
to attract the attention of passersby on the
street, but failed. Courageously she stood
In the water, which reached above her waist,
and held up the boy, who was much too
heavy load for her. She stood
there for fully half an hour. She was all
most fainting away, and was chilled to the
bone when help finally came In the person
OF her mother, who had been away on an
errand. Help was quickly brought, and a
ladder was lowered into the cistern. Miss
Mccall scarcely had strength left to hand
up her charge, and had to be
assisted 10 the dry ground. Restora
tives were at once applied, and to-day she
was as well as usual, and able to receive
the many congratulatory calls from hel
admiring neighbors, who can scarcely
express in words their praise for her
heroism.

AN IDIOl,s WORK.
He Drives . Nail Into His Fathers Head
and Leaves Il For . Pbysiciaa 10
Draw Out.

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 49, Valentine
Fritz, aged sixty-seven years, residing at
No. Montgomery street, is lying in crit
ical condition in consequence Of all injury
received at the hands of his idiotic son,
aged twenty. Fritz was prostrated by tine
heat on Tuesday and taken to his home.
Wednesday an idiot son wus noticed to
enter his fathers room with hammer and
several large nails in his hand. Shortly
after a piercing cry was heard, and upon
members of the family entering the bed
room they discovered Fritz uncon.
scious, and the son standing
near his fathers bedside with
the hammer still in his hand. Fritz
continued to grow worse. Yesterday his
wife, while bathing his head, noticed some
thing protruding, and an examination de-
veloped it was the head of nail. While
his aged father was asleep the weak-mind-
ed boy drove the nail into his fathers
head. The nail was more than three inches
long. The doctor had to cut around it
with knife before he could get hold of it
with nippers. Its miracle Fritz has
lived as long as ne has since the injury.
The cause OF Fritz suffering was unknown
until the nail was found.

Close Civil Service Decisions.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Two interesting
questions have been raised in connection
with technicalities of the civil service
laws. The first was raised by the Secre-
tary Of the Navy, and was whether clerk
appointed on probation under the civil
service requirements, could be subject to
promotion during his probationary period,
and in that event, whether he still con-
tinues as probationary appointee until
the term of trial expires. This
question was decided in the affirmative,
and the promotion of a probationary clerk
in the Navy Department authorized, and it
was decided that he would still be on pro-
baton. Another question raised by Secre-
tary Teller is, whether woman is eligible
to appointment as pension examiner.
The decision in this case was adverse,
although number of ladies had filed ap>
plications, it being held that the necessary
travel and the kind of work required was
unsuitable for women.
