 A Young Girl in the Hands of a
 Dozen Brutes.
 HUNTINGTON, Pa., August 11.-A most fiendish outrage was committed in the sub urbs at late hour last night by twelve at taches of Coles circus, two of whom were negroes, upon Miss Bertha Morrison, 8 beau tiful and modest girl of seventeen, who with a widowed mother resides at Center Union. Becoming separated from her companions Miss Morrison was approached by one Kim berlaine, who after much persuasion induced her to go into the show with him. Instead of doing so Kimberlaine enticed her to walk around the tents. When beyond hearing of the crowd eleven other employees of the cir GUS emerged from their concealment, grasped and gagged the young lady and carried her across several fields into the woods where they repeatedly outraged her in the most brutal manner. Her clothing was torn into shreds, her arms, face and body shockingly bruised and lacerated. Her piteous walls reached the ears of John McKeown, who compelled the assailants to de- sist and carried the girl to a nsighboring house and started home. He was set upon by the two negroes and beaten
 
 his home where his injuries were found to be dangerous and his mind still confused. Mock (colored) was arrested just as the circus train was leaving. the eleven others making good their escape. Mock was fui- ly identified by his victim this lynchipg tonight Excitement in the town is inten-s. Officers are in pursuit of the oth- CT participants in the crime.

 Governor.
 ALBANY, Aug. 1l.-Governor Hill before leaving for Elmira this evening was asked: "Can you give any indication to coming political events?'' sOf two things I em cer- tain," said the Governor, ''the Democratic State commi ttee will meet next week and sometime next month the State convention will be held. Who will be the nominees is all speculation"
 sBut you are favorably mentioned for re- nominationa'' "Yes, according to the news papers. In public life one cannot always be held responsible for what the papers say about convention times. My posi- tion, if you still insist upon knowing, is simply this: I believe the choice of the convention should and will undoubtedly be the strongest man before the people. There are several names talked of and they are honorable and upright men, any of whom would be strong candidate. Should the convention decide upon any one of these names shall do all in my power to secure his election. Of course my ambitions are personal-and it is my belief that ambi- tions are not considered dishonorable if honest. If the convention should accept my discharge of public duties as worthy and honors me with the nomination it would be compliment gratifying to me and my well wishers and such compliment as no one could say in advance that he would not accept. But this is all the work of the convention and to that body must be entrust- ed the details and nominees for next falls campaign in the State"

WHAT Is A wOMAN LrKE7

woman is like to-but stay
WHAT woman is like who can say?
There is no living with or without one
Love bites like a fly
Now an ear, now an eye,
Buz, buz, always ouzzing about one.
When she's sender and kind
She is like to my mind
(And Fanny was so, l Irenember,)
She is like to- o, dear,
She's as good, very near,
AS ripe, mellow peach in September.
II she laugh, and she chat
Play a joke and all that,
And with smiles and good humor she meet me
She's like rich dish
OF venison or fish,
That cries from the table, come eat me!
But she Il plague you and vex you,
Distract and perpiex you;
False hearted and ranging,
Unsettled and changing;
What then do you think she is like?
Like sand: like a rock?
Like a wheel? like clock?
Ay, clock that is always at strike.
Her heads like the island folks tell on
Which nothing but monkeys can dwell on;
Her hearts like lemon-so nice
She carves for each lover a slice;
In truth, she's to ME
Like the wind, like the eco,
Whose raging will hearken to no man;
Like a mill, like a pill,
Like a fall like whale,
Like an ass, like glass,
Whose image is constant to no man;
Like q shower, like flower,
Like a fly, like pie,
Like pea, like flea,
Like \ thief, liko-in brief,
She's like nothing on earth-but {. woman!

fought hard battle for life beneath the
shadow of the eucalyptus; that which
disease waged against my youth later,
was as deadly and more pro.

and rose shadow Of my old self, like
ly to be debarred from existence on the

It was years before the memento OF

had passed out of my system, but now,
after half a lifetime,I I can look back from
my fair, happy English home on that
incident OF Lay career as contentedly as
on any other OF my colonial experiences.
As to my enemy his body had been
found in the creek while I lay at the

Things in General.

After the battle Of Gettysburg one OF
the onion burial parties buried 80 Fed
eral soldiers in ono trench. They were
all from i, New York regiment, and all
had seemingly been killed by one vollev
! They were almost III line, taking up but
little mor<, room than live men. All Of
them were shot above the hips, and not
one of them apparently lived 10 min
utes after being hit.
The invention Of wooden toothpicks
is now claimed for q Maine man, one
Charles Foster of Buck sheld, who be-
| Gan the manufacture 25 years ago. The
| trade has increased rs per cent. during
| the last three wears and now amounts
| in round numbers to 5000, OO0,O
tootE picks annually.
The report Of purchases by -Ameri-
, cans at the Paris Salon at prices aggre-
gazing millions of dollars are pronoun-
ced false and absurd bya prominent
dealer who makes yearly purchases at
the Salon. The gentleman says that
500, 600 would be a generous estimate
for purchases from the Salon Of 1894.
The most expensive picture bought in
Paris by On American during the year
is Meissonier's "Arrlval ut the Chat
eau" for which MIR. Vanderbilt paid
the artist $40, 900, and some $l3, 900 i'll
duties.
A capital bull is related III the lifo of
DR.. Sims, of a countryman OF his own,
for whom he prescribed an emetic, who
said, with great simplicity: Ny dear
doctor, it is Of no use your giving me
an emetic; I tried it twice III Dublin,
and it would not stay on NY stomach
either tlme." This calls to mind the
story about singer who, being raptur-
ously encored, repeated her songs. \
stranger who had been at the opera was
asked how he had been pleased with
her. "Not at ALL" said he. Not at
all! why she is the first singer in Eu-
rope. " "That may be-, replied the man,
"but she sung so bad last night that
they made her sing her songs all over
again"
The life Of the modern actor, says
the Chicago Herald, is one Of almost
incessant shift. He lives upon the
stage, in the dressing-room, the car
riage, the hotel, the railway car. Back
and forth across he fits, a night here,
and another there, week in one city,
sometimes two weeks in another. The
shadows that come across the mind Of
the most prominent actors of the day
have made him silhouette typical Of
| his kind Unable to act, and yet ali
the time thinking his engagement be-
gins somewhere on the morrow, he is
constantly journeying to meet it. BY one
train toe Chicago, by another to St. Louis,
then back to New York, again to oPhila-
delphia to Cincinnati, he is continually
going and coming. His uneasy spirit
| seems doomed to walk the earth.

Cremation in Italy.

Brooklin Eagle: Cremation is slow.
ly making its way in Europe. In Italy
the advance it has mado in seven or
eight years is considerable. At Milan,
Udine, Lodi, Rome, Cremona, Brescia,
Padua, and Varese temples Of cremation
have been already created, and Spezia
has q crematory ready for opening,
while Novara, Venice, Florence, Pisa,
Leghorn and Turin are taking action
There have been 427 bodies cremated
since 1877. In Germany the movement
progresses. At Gotha, since 1878, there
have been 200 bodies crelnated. The
last case recorded is that Of DR.. Duke,
of Stuttgart. Associations tor the pro-
motion of cremation exist in Italy num-
bering 5000 members. In this country
there is still q large amount of object
ion to this primitive method Of dispos-
ing of the dead, but nevertheless the idea
is being received with increasing favor
among medical men and sanitarians.
Possibly serious epidemic Of cholera
or some other virulent disease would
lead to more general discussion of this
infallible method Of destroying the
germs Of infection.

Every Person a Lunatic Now and
Then.

Prof David Swing says: The fact
that druggist Of this city has ended a
human life by putting up the wrong
medicine awakens much indignation.
He says many customers were in the
store; he was in hurry; he put up
morphine instead of some similar drug.
The inquiry arises whether the clerIs is
able to fill al order only when he has
no customers in the shop? How empty
must be the shop in order 20 secure
safety? Must the street in front of the
drug store also be empty? What if a
fire engine goes by? What if dog
| fight occurs while the druggist is reach
! ing for q11inine? Is he justified in tax
ing down strychnia? What if his moth
erin law has come to visit him?
Such questions come up and proper
ly; but there is another side to the fact
of erring druggists, and that is, that
most persons are crazy part OF tho time.
The exceptions are rare. Each one is
now and then fool Of the most COM
plete order Of species. All the law a-l1
penalties in the world will not avail tU
make druggist or anybody else have
his full senses through ali his Life.

Most bells were originally feninine.
Now the two or three called by Chris
tian names in England are masculine.
The most celebrated, Great Tom, at
Oxford, was originally named Mary.
Tresham, the Vice Chancellor Of the
period, writes: "Oh, beautiful Mary,
how musically she sounds" She has
done little to belle this reputation since
she became Tom. Once only, in the
year 1900, Tom got into disgrace by a
series of incontinent strikings, which
greatly alarmed the undergraduates,
who divided in opinion as to "whcther
there was an earthquake, the Dean Was
dead, or the college on fire."
