A Female Orchestra.

There are a great many amateur musicians in
New York, and a large number of these are re-
cruited from the ranks of what is known as $50
ciety." But most of these amateur musicians
are pianists. There are a number of men who
play the piano, but there are more young women
who torture this instrument, though there have
been discovered enough who play other instru-
mepts to form an orchestra, and Miss Hewitt,
the daughter of the Democratic congressman,
has organized an orchestra composed entirely of
ladies we'll known in New York social circles.
They play all the instruments from the violin to
the triangle. This orchestra has not begun
serious work as yet, for all it's members have not
returned to town; but, under Miss hewitts
baton they are going to saw and blow
and pipe this winter as hard as though they were
paid for it. If they give a performance it will be
one of the affairs of the season. and l think be-
fore the winter is over they will be heard in aid of
some popular charity. 1t will then take some time
to get in good working trim, but / fancy that
their faults of technique will be forgiven by
their admiring friends. In organizing this
orchestra Miss Hewitt had a good deal Of trouble
in selecting her material, for the difficulty with
the young lady instrumentalists was that most of
them played the banjo; and while the banjo IS a
very jolly instrument it is hardly fit for orcbes-
trail music. But finally she succeeded in getting
together the requisite variety of instruments,
and now l believe the number is all made up.
This is a great move, and will be much more
elevating for the young ladies who belong to it
than are amateur theatricals.

An Ugly Beauty.
New York Letter.

NeW IOEk LcttcI.
The foremost professional beauty Just now is
Olga Brandon. The remarkable thing in her
case is that she is not beautiful. 1t is a strange
fact that if once a woman can GET the assertion
publicly made, with sufficient emphasis, that she
is lovely, the reputation lasts, no matter if
ninety-nine in one hundred declare. on sight of
her, that she is ugly. The discussion once set
going is quite sufficient to serve her purpose.
Olga Brandon was one of the youthful amateurs
whom the former management of the Madison
square Garden made it a policy to employ. She
was set forth boldly as a creature of beauty rare.
Instead of failing in the role, she has succeeded
wonderfully. When a play was lately produced
with the character of a professional beauty in
it, Olga was engaged to play the part. In the
flower stands at benefit matinees she was the
chief attraction. She has been acting in a SINH
lar capacity at Wallack's Theater. Happily can
it be said that she is a reputable wife, who takes
advantage of her luck only in a decent way. She
is of good height and very slim. Her figure is
spoiled by a stoop of the shoulders and a hollow
negs of the chest. Her features are sweet and
refined in expression. but they do not conform
to any allowable type of beauty. Her nose is
long and dominant. Her complexion is almost
colorless, and suggests i'll health. Her eyes are
magnifcently black, but too deeply set and rem
dered artificial in look by edgings of paint. She
dresses in excellent taste on and off the stage,
and on the promenade the only distinct mark of
the actress is the carrying of a black King
Charles spaniel.

MIR. Beecher's Good Turn,

. IOIh OSdIs
Some years ago, when the Lee-avenue Church,
Brooklyn, was hating between two opinions re-
speeding its choice of ministers, q spiritual
conference was held, at which several of the big
guns of the church were heard, among them
Henry Ward Beecher. The young clergyman,
w. w. Hicks, whose chances for a call to the
vacant pulpit seemed to be in the ascendant,
was a personal friend and sort of protege, l be-
lieve, of the great Brooklyn divine. On this oc-
casion Mr.. Beecher seemed very much inter ested
in the rising young minister, for whom he saw a
bright future, and said to him: Il hope you will
make your best effort before the conference to-
night" He (Beecherl was TO speak first, and
Hicks to follow Immediately after. Beechers
address fell fat, and was SO unlike his usual
effort that his admirers, who had expected so
much of him on this occasion. were sadly disap-
pointed. When the next speaker. Hicks, who,
fired by zeal in the cause and youthful ambition.
made the hit of the evening. which resulted in
his call to the church, Beecher congratulated
him and said, soto voce: Remember, Hicks,
l won't promise always to play second fiddle to
youn

The Dog Nuisance.

The local papers in this section Of the country
chronicle, of late, more than the usual number
of attacks upon sheep by the dogs which infesr
the country. There are dogs and dogs-some of
which, like good boys, stay at home nights. while
others roam about the country, killing and maim-
ing the f1ocks of sheep upon the hillsides. Nine
teen out of twenty of all these accused dogs are
absolutely worthless, and in most cases are
owned by men who are so poor or so lazy that
they find it extremely difficult to feed their chill
dren. There is only one way in which these
predatory dogs can be successfully dealt with,
and we counsel our readers, whose sheep have
suffered, to make a trial of its efficiency. Next
time a sheep is killed take the hide off, leave the
carcass in the field, and sprinkle it literally with
strvchnine. About the time it grows a little
odorous, all the worthless ours in the neighbor-
hood will be on hand for a free lunch. The canine
mortality which will follow this experiment will
gladden. any sheep-grower who tries it. A lunch
of the kind alluded to makes a sheep killing dog
very tired-often 80 tired that he dies on his way
home. You need not be afraid of doing harm
Any dog that prowls around at night ought to
be killed, and he who kills most is the greatest
benefactor.

MOrmOns Find a MARTYR.
Special to the Globe.


SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 16.-Several
days ago Andrew Burte, a deputy sheriff
of this county, assaulted Henry Collins. a
deputy United States marshal Burte's
detail was in the interest of the saints to
watch the United States marshars Office,
shadow the deputy marshal and give notice
as rapidly as possible to the polygamists
and help them to get away. The deputy
marshal dropped on his game" and led him
some long wild-goOse chases. which made
him furious. Then the Tribune, gentle
paper. printed an account of his doings,
designating him as spotter. Burte, who
is big, athletic man, chose to resent all
this on Collins, a small man, and gave
him severe beating. The Mormon
papers were pleased that a Mormon
had threshed deputy marshal.
A complaint was made against Burte before
Commissioner Mckay, and he was arrested
the same evening. In the police court next
morning the justice fined Burte S25. The
same morning United States Attorney
Varien filed statement in the Third dis
trict court, asking that rule for contempt
issue against Burte for interfering and OBJ
structlng an officer of court in the perform
ance Of his duty. This was heard yester-
day before Judge Zane, who fined Burte
SI50 for contempt of court and sent him to
prison for five days. The Mormon papers
are wildly denouncing this act of the judge,
and Burte will be made a martyr for his
services and sufferings. The case has
caused more excited and general talk than
anything since the Clausen conviction.

The Vessel ESCAPES.

RANGooN. Nov. 16.-In the fight with
the war vessel belonging to King Theebaw,
reported yesterday, the fire from the British
caused 200 on the Burmese vessel to Jump
overheard. The British then boarded the
vessel and proceeded up the river with
her. 1t is reported that 5000 troops are
stockaded at Fort Kuligon, which
occupies a high, dominating posi-
ton overhanging the river at Minhla.
The capture of the Burmese man-of-war
will prevent the Burmese from placing
further obstructions IN the river or moving
troops and guns by the river route and will
disabuse the minds of the natives of the idea
that King Theebaw is invincible. The
steamer Doowoon, recently sent to
Mandalay to bring away the Europeans
detained there by the Burmese government,
has escaped from there and reached the
British lines. When the authorities at
Mandalay discovered the Doowoon moving
out into the river, they opened heavy fire
on her and sent force to board her. The
boarding party were repulsed by the crew of
the Doowoon, and having got full head OF
steam on, the vessel ran the
gauntlet and escaped with little injury.
The Italian consul and the other Europeans
are still detained at Mandalay, not having
been able to get On board the Doowoon,
The city was quiet on the 18th inst, but at
the palace revolution was expected.

Whipped by Masked Men.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 16.-At midnight
Saturday band of regulators took Noah
Carey and Susan Mayhem, both colored,
from their cabins and gave them a terrible
beating. The mob numbered fifteen men,
thirteen with small arms and masked. The
party marched to a portion of the town oc-
cupied by negroes, bearing the name of
Happy Hollow" On the way the men
stopped at cabin and forced two colored
men to point out the dwellings of Carey and
Mayhem, and those of several other ex-
convicts who had been discharged from the
penitentiary and who were employed by
the Tennessee Railroad Coal and Iron COM
pany. On reaching Carey's house the reg
ulators took him out and gave him fifteen
lashes. They then went to the woman's
(Mayhew) home and administered similar
punishment to her, after warning her to
leave Tracey City without delay. The
band aroused the eX-convicts from their
sleep and delivered to them the same
message they had given the woman, add
ing that death would be their portion
should they disregard the warning. As
soon as they could take their departure the
ex-convicts babe the town farewell. The
mob then departed, and so quietly was
their nocturnal task done that nothing was
known of it for several hours. The eX-
convlcts have been regarded with suspicion,
but the law and order committee had de-
cided that they could stay. 1t is not known
what Carey or the woman had done.

control of Santa Fe land rings, and the
courts were in its hands and men who
fought fraudulent claims were prosecuted.
Parson Lobby was the minister who talked
too much against fraud. He was murdered.
McMains started the investigation and got
one Mexican to confess and implicate
another. McMains always counseled peace
full methods, but the Mexican was lynched.
McMains was indicted tor murder, the jury
being mostly Mexican and Catholic Ameri-
cans. After inability to agree to an acquit-
tai, he played the trick of writing verdict
for murder in the fifth degree, an
unknown crime. The verdict was
set aside and the case never re-
tried. This is all the murder that
is connected with McMans. He is a
brother-in-law of William P. Fishback,
master in chancery at Indianapolis. lie
says he knew nothing of Vincent's suspen-
sion. FiShback has son, cattle raiser,
in COlfaX county. He saw in a RattOon
paper the account of Dorsey's being jury
commissioner and secured Vincent's re-
moval himself by simply calling Commis-
sioner Sparks attention thereto. McMains
says Vincent's statement of trouble between
cattle and sheep men is purely a concoc-
ton. He charges that the banquet at Dor
seys ranch, which Vincent attended, was
arranged by Smithy, who was with Webb
in Dorsey's newspaper, which published
fictitious land notices. McMains is Dem
Ocrat and member of the New Mexico legis-
lature. He is here before Assistant Secre-
tary jerks getting the famous Maxwell
grant opened up.
