A Peculiar English Woman.

The Catholic society of EngIar lost,
by the death of Lady Georgiana Fuller
ton, one ofits most characteristic figures.
"It is Lady Georgiana or beggar," said
lady once, who caught sight of an ap-
preaching visitor. Her dress was of a
kind so extremely dowdy that one won
dered where she got it from; but to the
notifications she made for herself she
by no means desired to condemn her
friends. She liked the young people
about her to be as bright and gay as the
rules of their religion would allow them
to be; and she took care to be the only
thing that had not the last finish from
Paris about it at her dinner table. Her
manners were of the sweetest, and they
were not the result SO much of studied
politeness as of natural goodness of
heart and fastidiousness of taste. 1t was
told of her that she once took the place
of woman who swept London cross
ing, so that the woman might go to
mass, and that nobody noticed the diff
ference. Yet she was equally at ease in
the appointed place at her husbands
table, groaning under its weight of gold
plate. Latterly Lady Georgiana had
lived almost entirely at Bournemouth,
which suited her own and her husbands
growing infrmities.

IN POVERTY IN THEIR OLD AGE.
The Senior Members of the PEAK Family
of Swiss Bell Ringers In an AlmshOuse.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Peak, senior
members of the Peak family of "Swiss
Bell Ringers" who were very popular
throughout the country a few years
ago, have become inmates of the Court
land county, N. Y, almshouse, having
lost their property and being unable
longer to compete with the newer attrac-
lions of the stage. Their family has
been broken up by death and the with
drawal of their children from the COM
pany, and they have been trying to
maintain themselves by giving concerts
in the small villages in northern Penn
sylvania and southern New York. Their
travelling equipment was burned in
Waverly, and they became stranded in
jamestown. They were admitted to the
county house on New Years Day.
Mr.. Peak is rs years old and his wife
is rs. They are very sensitive about
their situation, but hope yet to recover
their old position and to maintain them
selves. MIR. Peak has the melodeon
which they used for thirty years in their
public performances, and the fne-toned
glasses on which he played with wooden
mallets. They play sometimes for the
other inmates of the poorhouse and
their presence is greatly appreciated.
They are natives of Medford, Mass,
where, at the age of Is, Mr.. Peak played
the organ for the Unitarian church.
Forty years ago they joined John B.
Cough in his temperance crusade in
New England and travelled with him sew
eral years. They recall his cravings for
narcotics after he had quit the use of
liquor, and how he was Kissed in Ire
mont Temple, Boston, after his tenn
porary lapse in New York. The tour of
the original Swiss Bell Ringers with P.
T. Barnum gave Mr.. Peak the idea of
aeh company, and when
the SwitzaE returned to their own
country, thrSugh Barnum he bought
their bells, learned their use, and taught
his wife and children, William Henry,
Fanny, Julia, Eddie, and Lisetta. The
two latter are dead. William Henry is
in Australia, Fannie is widowed and liv-
ing in jamestown, Dakota, and Julia,
now Mrs. William BlaisdelI, is in Cali
fornia. Their family, except William
Henry's wife, do not know of their desti-
tuition. Mr.. Peak lost $40, 900 in specu-
lation in ST. Paul, and more in theatre
cal venture at Pixies Peak. They will
probably go to the Old Folks Home in

The Member who was Left

A Washington letter says: / heard a
member the other day bitterly reproach-
ing some of the lackeys about the hall
of the House for their neglect of him.
"They all know I haven't been re-
elected" he explained, ''and 1t is all
that can do to get any service out Of
them. The member who sits next to
me has been returned, and if he makes
the slightest signal half a dozen pages
will fly toward him with the utmost
alacrity. 1 frequently beat my hands
together until they are almost blistered
without attracting their attention, and
when I do succeed, they move toward
me as leisurely as you please,
and execute my orders with a display of
condescension that would be amusing if
it were not so annoying"
perhaps you have incurred their dis
pleasure in some way" I suggested,
land their neglect of you is not due to
your defeat"
''No, indeed" was the reply. "Before
L went home, last spring, all the clerks,
messengers and pages were most assidu-
Gus in their attentions. But when I
came back in December, after getting
left at the election, found that they re-
garded me as person of very little i'm
portance, and since that time have been
inclined to look upon me in the light OF
an intruder. 1t is so with all the mem
bers who have failed of reelection.
They are all making complaints, and
guess they have reason to. I tell you
that these fellows who hang about the
Capitol picking up the crumbs that fall
from the Congressional table have g
keen eye for the main chance and nc
use whatever for q statesman whose days
of official life are numbered"

THE TOWN SIGNAL SERVICE
SOME OLD CUSTOMS STILL CARRIED
OUT IN NEW ENGLAND.
What the State of Vermont Is Doing for the
Farmers Benefit.
From the New York SUM-

from the New York SUM-
In some of the New England villages
the curfew still tolls the knel OF parting
day at 9 o'clock in the evening, when
the virtueus villager is supposed to get
him home and to bed. At IL o'clock,
noon, the ringing of the same bell pro-
claims to the village that incoming and
dinner time are come. Bed time and
dinner time are thus obligingly signalled
to the community; and in some of the
Vermont towns it seems that public
proclamation of the state of the weather
is made at the expense OF the town.
Some scientific person of Chelsea, in the
Green Mountain State, invites attention
to a plan "for signalling the Government
weather indications by steam whistles
and other MEANS" The signal service
sends out six different varieties of pre-
diction, and the Vermont scientist pro-
poses that the different predictions for
each day shall be disseminated among
the country folk remote from telegraph
offices, morning newspapers and bulletin
boards, by means of blasts of varying
length on steam signal whistles. These
are the six kinds of weather and the six
blasts:
"No. 1.-Signifying fair or probably
fair weather for the next seventeen
hours.
"No. Foul or probably foul
weather for the same period.
"No. 3.-Fair at first and changing to
foul before the end of the term.
"No. 4-Foul and changing to fair.
"No. 5.-Doubtful, irregularly vari-
able.
"No. 6.-UnseasonabIe frosts or cold
waves.
"No. 6 is given only as an occasional
supplement to some one of the other
five. The number to be signalled is sent
to the engineer having charge of the
whistle. After the first long, unbroken
blast, given usually at about o'clock a.
M, there is pause of five seconds, then
for No. l fve-second blast, for No. 2
two such pauses and blasts, three for
No. 8, four for No. 4 and five for No. 5.
After the regular blasts Zone of the first
five) and another ive-second pause, No.
6 may be given by five two-second
blasts with two-second pauses. Nos. 3
and 4 will hint at the probabilities for
the day after"
So the remote farmer can lie abed, al
though we are afraid he never does lie
abed after seven o'clock in the morning,
look at the signal code tackled on the
wall, and wait for the long unbroken
blast and its successor. If it is summer
and five-second blast is blown after a
pause of five seconds, he can be assured
that it will be safe to open the hay that
morning; and if it is a winter morning
when the blast is blown, he will prompt
ly set the hired man to picking over the
potatoes in the cellar. And so on
through the code.
The new system has been adopted in
the town of Randolph, where the signal
blasts are regularly given at $50 every
morning. The author of the plan hopes
that the Selectmen of other Vermont
towns will insert in the March meeting
warrants a proposal for the establish
ment of signal whistles. Aanybody
outside of Vermont who is interested in
the plan may address suggestions about
it to Lock Box %, Chelsea, vt.

Bringing a Committee to Terms.

Mr.. Guenther, of Wisconsin, has
brought the River and Harbor Commit
tee to terms by trick that is unique if
not admirable, says a Washington letter.
The committee was rather seornful in its
treatment of him during the time it was
preparing the bill. He wanted money
for the Fox and Wisconsin River i'm
provement. The committee would not
admit him into its room to plead his
case, and kept it out of the bill. The
other day Mr.. Guenther sent up to the
desk bundle of amendments to the
River and Harbor bill. The clerk looked
them over and saw they were all in re-
lation to the Fox and Wisconsin i'm
provement. The first proposed an ap-
preparation of 100000 for that work ::
the second, 800, 900; the third, 1913. 900
the fourth, S97, 900, and SO on down to
the fftieth amount, which asked for
1000. The clerk winked to Chair
man Willis, who went to the desk to see
what was up. In a moment he rushed
to Guenther's desk.
''Mr. Guenther," said the Chairman,
what on earth do you mean by those
amendments ?"
"Why, they mean just what they say.
"ou1 an 1ulDS IOlu 2OU,UUU 10 s5lUU, UUU
Tor the Fox and Wisconsin work" re-
piled Guenther.
"Do you intend to debate each of
those amendments ?" asked Willis.
Certainly" said the Badger states
man.
"Ihen you'll kill the bill, that's all /"
concluded the Chairman.
81 shall be very sorry to cause sueb a
result, but it is my duty to secure INV
appropriation. That is what I'm here
for"
Willis went to his seat. He knew that
Guenther could talk three minutes on
each of the fifty amendments, and bring
on debate that would prevent a vote
on the River and Harbor bill during the
session.
The next day member of the COM
mittee carried message from Mr..
Willis to Mr.. Guenther saying that if he
would withdraw his fifty amendments
the committee would allow him S75 600
for the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers. On
the floor, later, the Chairman stated the
concession.

Gifts from Husband to Wife.

Judge Devens, of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court, has given an opinion
which will please every wife. A statute
OF that State allows a married woman
to hold as her separate property among
other things PARTICLES necessary for her
personal use acquired by gift from her
husband. The question was whether
piano given by husband to his wife
is an 'article necessary for her personal
use, and as such her property beyond
the reach of his creditors.
Judge Davens decides thatit is. "Arti-
cles necessary for her personal use," he
says, must include articles the use of
which Is attended with pleasure and en-
I9yment, as books, music, musical in
a'ruments, or which might be used as a
means OF education or perhaps of OBJ
tanning livelihood, as well as those
which minister only to strictly physical
comfort"

The Broken British Square.

The dispatches from Mr.. Williams, of

first fight at Abu Klea, and which were

ably, which cost him his life. He was in
command of the dismounted cavalry on
one side of the square and seeing
heavy Arab force advancing, ordered and
led a charge upon them. He dashed
forward, but was killed at the first shock,
and his men were hurled back after a
terrific fight hand to hand. Everything
on that side was confusion for some min.
utes. The Arabs poured into the square
and were nearly successful in breaking it
to pieces. Mr.. Williams positively as
serts that Burnaby made his headlong
rush entirely without authority.
