A Victim of Opfum-OvercOme by the
Drug a Lady IL Assaulted by Two Men.
BATH, June 13.-Mrs. G. N. Porter, q we'll
dressed lady evidently of highly respectable
parentage, was discovered in an unconscious
condition in a back street of this city
Wednesday night by two policemen. She
was removed to the City hospital and treated
for chloreform stupor. When she regained
consciousness she told sad story. At one
time she was school teacher in New York.
She married wealthy oil Spectator from
Pennsylvania and went to the oil regions to
reside where the husband died shortly after
ward. She was then taken sick and during
her illness opium was prescribed for her and
she took it in large quantities. When she re-
covered the passion for opium was SO strong
that she could not resist. On Wednesday
while under the influence of the drug she
wandered out and was carried into q restau.
rant by two men who shamsfully assaulted
her. After the men left her she went and
purchased chloroform with the intention of
committing suicide. Mrs. Porter is now at
the hospital and her recovery is probable.
Driven To Suicide BY a Wife.
BALTIMORE, June Is B. F. Stone, aged
fifty, well known coach trimmer, committed

reservoir. Before committing the act he
wrote letter to his wife in which he said he
was driven to self-destruction by her un-
kindness.

There is n custom which fancy is
almost indigenous to Boston of going

two front seats of the open street car
that is far more pleasant than carriage
driving. For the carriage must rattle
over rough stones on most of the
streets, while the car has the smooth
track. and after & in the evening you
will see every outlying line of street
cars in Boston loaded with people
who are merely out for drive to the

The following thrilling and romantic
incident, Says the Omaha Bee. is ept-
omized from the diary OF Scrgt Rice,
one of the Greedy arctic explorers.
In one of the preliminary sledge par
ties to Halls rest, on tho Greenland
side, every match but one in the party
had been exhausted. The shiverng
group had no hope of life save in the
ability to strike II spirit-lamp from the
remaining match and the man now
dead wrote this description:
1.-The match snapped, cracked, and
showed little flame which by dexter
Gus management, was communicated
to the wood and triumphantly applied
to the wick of the spirit lamp. But.
great heavens! the wick is wet from the
moisture of the tent! 1t sputters--
fzzes-the match itself is burned up
to tho benumbed fingers of the holder,
when one of the agonized spectators
springs from his bag and, with admir-
able presence of mind, withdraws from
his breast-pocket document which he
holds to the expiring match in time to
perpetuate its fire. They are saved!
We must show that the action was he
iroic. The paper so promptly sacrificed
in the interests of science and human
ity was one received by its possessor at
the last moment before leaving civili-
cation, and it was surmised that it con-
tanned the last fond evidence of the
tender emotion entertained for him by
fair writer, who mayhap penned the
loving missive with trembling hands
and binding tears. No doubt gentle
hand had traced on that wel-worn let
ter sweet words that brcathed both
VOWS of devotion and prayers for sue
cess. 1t was apparently worn as an
amulet or taliSman. Tho romance is
yet not uuravelcd, for the hero is--as
heroes arc--roticent But are we not
reminded of the bible, which, placed
by tender hands with thoughtful care
in the breast-pOcket of the soldier,
stops the fatal bullet or of the cru
saders cross turning the deadly seine
tar of the SaracenP Surely, our Incl
dent may take its place beside these.
We can only hope that the fire was in
deed Prometheus and that the epistle
may assist match that was made in
heaven as well as one that was lighted
on the desolate Greenland coast"

| train is heard ste amers, huge and curious
to the sight, veritable Leviath,ans, follow
each other on the river, all filled with num-
berless passengers and heavy cargoes In
| deed there seems to be no rest in the bust
ness part of this city, for the nights are
only trihe stiler than the days; the street
cars never stopping their circulation, and
the tall chimneys of the factories never
ceasing to belch forth immense volumes OF
smoke, and whoever would enjoy the still,
| enhancing charms of the perfumed south
ern nights must fly into the garden section
of the city, where the wealthy have their
homes There he can fully delight in the
Arcadian purity of the atmosphere, the in
toxicating fragrance of the magnolias, in
the embracing stiffness of the long vo-
luptuous night; and while he has right at
hand all the restless motion, busy hurry,
and ingenious toll Of great commercial
emporium, he can forget all this for the
moment and dream amidst rural rest, tran
guilty and roses.
For New Orleans, while being n hard
working, 60 ahead, commercial city, IS also
country place, with streets shaded by
luxurant trees, with gardens bejeweled
with the rarest tropical flowers and be-
decked with the contest of summer houses,
where the Spanish bayonet trees beside the
agave foroibly remind one that he is in the
sou'h-ln the palace of dream and love.
This feature of the Queen City is best
apparent when from the roof of the main
building of the Exposition now at hand,
the eye sweeps over the plain; groves meet
with groves and frcm their midst roofs of
every kind and description peep forth won
deringly. 1t is the garden city par excel
lence-the city of flowers.
But, as its double character Of garden
city and commercial city might feasibly
suggest, at one period of the year the tur-
mol of toll ceases and is replaced by
shouts of laughter, sounds of gay revelry
and strains Of music. Garden City, Com
mercial city, New Orleans IS also the Car
nival City of America.
Who has not heard of these days of mer-
riment eliminating in the Mardi Grasa
Polygot crowds gathered from all the
countries of the earth come to gaze at the
pageant of the immortal Rex, and to add to
their thousands and hundreds of thous-
ands of permanent inhabitants.
Thus it comes that New Orleans will not
be out of her element when the great Cen
tennia Cotton Exposition of the coming
winter takes place. She has seen these
foreign crowds, aud knows how to deal
with them when they begin pouring in to
look at these marvels of civilization which
modern enterprise undertook to gather
here that they might be compared, studied
and then used as points of departure for
a more gigantic stride forward.

such house in this county, near the
Arizona line, and short way above the
mouth Of the Grand cafion Of the Colo
RADIO. where there is considerable petri.
fed wood, there being large petrified
logs lying on the ground. The cabin ia
six feet high and the interior is seven BY
eight feet. 1t is built in the side OF the
hill, only a portion OF the side of the
cabin and the front being exposed TO
view. This cabin was built by des-
perado and cattle thief, who some thir-
teen years ago devoted his spare time to
driving cattle from the ranges Of south
ern Utah over into California, where the
stolen stock was disposed Of, and wai
sought by him as place of safety when
pursued too cloNely by the enraged peo-
pie whom he had been robbing. The
house is built over small spring. This
