New York Hotel Life.

A small community moves in and
out of New York hotels daily. The
transient guests in all the hotels OF
whatever grade form a small army.
There are 1853 hotels recorded in the
business directory. But in this list none
of the cheap lodging houses of the
Bowery type figure. There must be
hundreds of the 25 and so cent lodging
house grade. Not less then $4,000
transient guests find a resting place in
New York nightly. Colonel Carr, the
veteran clerk Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
estimates the number of "transients" at
forty leading hotels as averaging 5000
daily. Joseph Lennon, who reports the
hotel arrivals for the morning papers,
confirms this estimate. The regular
boarders are not included in this calcu-
latiOn. They must be two or three times
as many. / counted 1877 arrivals in one
register one day recently. They have
in extremely, busy seasons had as high as
275 arrivals in a single day. The aver
age expenditure Of a transient guess
directly for hotel accommodations is
about 81 a day. This is $780, 600 a day
that is paid in at the forty leading hotels,
or S.. 500. 600 per annunn. But the items
Of other service, the money paid to the
barber, the bar, the newsdealer, the
cipar-stand, the billiard-room, the hack
man. the walters aud so on, will bring
a guests expenses up to Sc or 81 a day.
Then what is spent in the general trade
Of the city foots up to an enormous sum.

MS DEAD WIFE IN A SACK.
Louis Francois Arrested on his Way to
the River.

A tall Frenchman, whose back bent under
the weight of n bulglng canvas sack which was
slung over his left shoulder, suddenly wheeled
around the corner of Tenth avenue into West
Twenty-eighth street, New York, and started
down the dimly lighted thoroughfare toward
the North River. 1t was about - O'Clock in
the morning, and the only other person stir
ring in the street was Policeman Thomas Nc
Cormack, Of the West Thirty-seventh street
sfstion.
The Frenchman walked half block at an
ordinary gait, but skunk in the shadow Of the
houses and cast anxious glances around from
his deep-sunken eyes. When he caught sight
of the policeman near a lamp post on the OPP
posite side of the street he quickened his steps
smartly and got behind big truck. The
policeman noticed the movement and felt sure
he was a burglar. He ran across the street
with his drawn club.
"What have you got in that bag?" he cried
as he caught the Frenchman by the shoulder.
'AIy WIFE" was the reply
Mccormack started back dumfounded and
stared with bullying eyes at the Frenchman's
bristling red mOustache and then at the bag
that he held clutched tightly in both hands.
81 tell You right" the prisoner repeated
coolly. 81 have got my wife in the bag. l
found her dead. / am too poor to bury her,
and 1 was going to throw her in the river"
Then the Frenchman swung the sack off his
shoulder and carelessly let it drop on the side
walk A coarse canvas towel that was tucked
over the opening fell off as the bag struck the
pavement. 1t revealed two female feet covered
with red woolien stockings protuding above
a woman's head. The body was doubled up
and tucked tightly into the sack.
The policeman sci zed the Frenchman by the
arm again and raped loudly for assistance.
The alarm brought Roundsman Pless running
around the corner at full speed. They got
more policemen, and carried the dead woman
to the station on a stretcher.
The Frenchman leaned against the rail at
the station house and stared at Capt. Wash
burn with perfect self-pOssession.
81 am Louis Francois" he said, with a
strong French accent. II live at 307 Tenth
avenue, and found my wife dead there when
came home. didn't kill her"
Captain Washburn locked him up in cell
and telegraphed for a Coroner, who hurried
in. GREATNESS, at 4 O'Clock. The body of the
dead woman was still warm and the limbs PHI
able The sack was made of course canvas. It
was about three feet long and half as wide.
The Coroners verdict was that the Frenchman
killed his wife by strangling her, and took this
method Of dispOsing of the body.

FIGHTING THE INDIANS.

| Dispatches from Winnipeg on Tuesday state
/ that Col. Otter made an attack on Pound.
/ maker, aud, after a severe battle, captured
/ him and took 1873 prisoners. The battle was
/ fought in Eagle Hills, and Col. Otter made the
assault against orders. TWenty-one Canadians
/ aud 8 Englishmen were killed. No trace OF
/ the teamsters taken by POundmaker a week ago
was found, and it is supposed they have been
massacred.
The rebel loss is far greater than was i'm
/ agined. Father Louson states that he buried
/ 50 bodies Of hal-breeds From information
/ given him by half-breed women he believed
| the rebel dead amount TO between seventy and
/ eighty half-bTeeds ard twelve Indians. He
also thinks many more will die Of their
wounds, as they lave been secreted OF carried
away and have no medical attendance.
Two Of Riels councillors, who are wounded,
being asked their opinion Of Riel, said he had
gone down in their estimation, rs he had
/ duped aud deserted his followers. A scout
has been dispatched through the country to
tell the rebels if they come in and surrender
they will be allowed to 60 back to their farms
| except the ringleaders and members of Riel 8
Council who ill be given fair trial.
Riel acts like a craven coward and spends
his time alternately praying and kissing the
crucifx. He will doubtless play the lunacy
act and already some Of his sympathizers are
paving the way for such a course by giving it
ont that he has always been crazy.

night along with the captured teamster, two
women, and priest, to ask upon what terms
he would be allowed to surrender. Baptiste
Fontaine. the scout, who was supposed to have
been killed a fortnight ago, while on a
/ scouting expedition under Constable Ross
came in with the released prisoners. He says
that Poundfnaker was demoralized on hearing
Of Riel's surrender. The Indians were terribly
frightened. and piled their rifles in tepee,
and hoisted an old British flag which they had
cuptured somewhere. They then held big
council, and decided upon sending letter
asking for terms of surrender.
The prisoners sent in include twenty team
sters. captured in the Eagle Hills; Fontaine,
the captured scouts Bremner and Sayres Of
Bresaylor's Settlement, and two women in male
apparel. Twenty-one women and children
from Bresaylor's Settlement are held as host
ages. The teamsters say they were well treat
ed by the half breeds, who protected them with
leveled rifles from the Indians who were
threatening to kill them. In the Indian camp
were over 800 sOuls-360 mounted men, and
700 in all capable Of bearing arms.
Bremner says their loss at Cut Knife was 80
killed and II wounded. Big Bear was not at
the fight but his son participated. Pound
maker now holds a strong position near Lizard
Lake, fifty miles from here. At the last in
telligence Big Bear was between Pitt and Frog
Lake. The Indians say he was ill-treating the
prisoners. Father Cochin leaves tomorrow
For Poundmaker with letter from Col Otter
saying that he must negotiate with Gen. Mid
dleton, but hostilities must meantime cease.

The Care of Children.

One would naturally suppose that the
care of children would be the first
thought Of the parents, whereas in
many cases it seems as if the first
thought were rather to escape that bur-
den-although the responsibility may
never be shirked without penalty-dele-
eating It to hired and Indifferent hands
and heads, often Ignorant often incom-
petent. without rejecting that it de-
mands not only the love and tenderness
such as no alien can furnish, but that
the wisest mind is not too wise for the
task, nor the most cultured intellect too
we'll trained or too brilliant to cope with
the subject, to fit the human soul for
its sphere and its work, for the develop
ment of its transcendent powers. The
person who on engaging a nursery-maid
remarked, by way of preface, that
neither he nor his "wife knew anything
about the care of children, nor did they
wish to know" only frankly acknowl-
edged the deplorable condition of mind
of many, and certainly had no business
to have the bright faces of children
about his hearth. One wonders if he
treated any other Of his possessions with
such unconcern. Those who regard
their children as their chief occupation
in life, and who love that occupation,
can hardly understand the state of mind
of mothers who accept every excuse for
turning them off upon whoever will
take the charge, careless of the dangers
they may meet from the unguarded and
untaught speech of servants or gdnl5R
I. nd
pleasure better than the souls Of their
sons and daughters, who find no delight
in Watching the unfolding of a human
intellect, and whose minds are too mar
row to appreciate the self-abnegation OF
wiser mothers, whom they regard as
slow specimens of the race of women,
old fogies with domestic proclivities too
strongly developed, beings without a
thought or aspiration beyond the clean
faces and clothes of their brood, with
out a proper sense of the sphere of wo-
man, which in their view seems to con-
sist merely in dressing and gossiping,
flattering and being hattered by the
other sex. People take infinite care Of
their homes, their land, their clothes
but they too often leave their children,
their most valuable possessions, upon
whose welfare the progress of the race
depends, to take care of themselves, IN
aware or needless of the great interest
at stake, and deaf to all admonitions. A
child's mind is plastic, ready to receive
every or any impression, and it is the
parents who have the power to dictate
what these impressions shall be. When
a child learns lying and thieving or any
evil, it is i,generally the father and
mother who deserve the punishment for
those offenses. They received the pre-
cious gift of an untutored mind into
their keeping, and if they have
neglected it, have chosen to waste their
energies on lesser themes, on the vani-
ties Of the world and the flesh, not to
mention the devil, they have sown the
wind and will reap the whirlwind.-

rHE PRINCESS OF COLONNA.
An Old Miners story Of the Early Life o
John w. Mackay's StepdauEhters

The story of the life of Eva Bryant
Mackay, who recently became, by mar
riaoe with a titled Italian, the Princess
Of Colonna. brings to light song strange
things. / have found one of those
characteristic '40ars who, In the days Of
Miss Mackay's poverty, mined in Sierra
comfy. California. He is Tom Jordan,
one Of the gold-pocket hunters whom
Mark Twain so graphically describes.
Said he in a recent interview;
''Afiss Hungerford, Miss Mackays
mother. when l first knew her in 1850,
was a very pretty little girl OF only II
years, who lived at Goodyear's Bar with
her widowed father, Major Hungertord.
He was Louisiana creole, and spoke
French and Spanish huently, as did also
fine child. Miss Hungerford grew pref
tier as she became older, and at length
became the acknowledged belle Of the
mining town. Offers of marriage from
wealthy miners, storekeepers, lawyers,
and men of other callings were refused,
until one day the girl met DR.. Bryant. a
dashing young man of 90, from the
neighboring camp Of DoWniesville. 1t
was case of mutual love at first sight.
In less than a year they we're married.
A wear later the Doctor died from blood
poisoning, contracted while making an
autopsy in a case of a young woman
said TO have been poisoned.
Meantime Eva Bryant was born.
DR.. Bryant, who had followed the
Western way of living, left his young
+ wife and child in very stringent circum-
stances, and a purse of 500 was sub
scribed for them. and Mrs. Bryant took
no her residence at Virginia City, then
in the heyday of its prosperity. There
she met John W. Mackay, who became
the wealthiest Of all the bonanza kings.
"IFs strange, isn't it, that little Miss
Hungerford, who used to trot about
barefooted among the rough miners Of
Goodyear's Bar, is now the leading and
wealthiest American lady in Paris, and
the fatherless and destitute baby, Eva,
is the Princess. Of Colonna? And I, a
contemporary, who saw it all, and be-
held a thousand others go up on the
wings of wealth, am a busted miner,
eking out my livelihood in the sage
brush deserts of Umatilla county"

RIOT IN PARIS.
A Fierce Fight Between tho Police and An
nrchists In Pere-ln-Chaise.

PARIS, May 25.-Sunday being the day set
apart for the annual visit to the burial places
Of the dead, there was an unusually large
number of persons in Pere-la-Chaise Cemetery.
The visitors were as orderly as the place and
purpose of their visit demanded until demon
stration was made by Anarchists over the
grave of one of their dead. This was followed
BY the appearance Of body Of Communists
carrying red flags.
The police attempted to seize the flags, but
a stout resistance was made by the COmmun-
lists, and fierce fight ensued. The police
charged the crowd with bayonets, and the
rioters retaliated by firing their revolver and
throwing stones at the police.
Several times the police charged before iGey
we're able to break the solid mass Of meg, We
men and children confronting them. Finally
the onslaughts Of the police could no longer
be withstood, and the crowd fell back.
Men, women and children were lying here
and there upon the ground, some Of them
wounded with bayonets, while many Of the pO-
lice were found to have been shot, some seri-
ously, and in two or three cases fatally.
Forty of the Communists were arrested, and
the wounded and dying were conveyed to the
hospitals.
The police were unusually severe giving no
quarter. The scene resembled the outbreak Of
a revolution. The shops in the vicinity Of the
riot were hurredly closed, and the utmost ex-
element prevailed until q late hour. Knots Of
Communists gathered at various places to-
night, vowing vengeance on the police and the

DYNANIIrERs DOOMED.
Burton and Cunningham Both Sentenced
for Life.


LONDON, May 19.-The trial Of Cunningham
and Burton at the Old Bailey was brought to
a conclusion. The courtroom was crowded
with people to hear the Judges charge and see
the termination Of the case. Among the no
liabilities present we're the Lord Mayor and
United States Minister Phelps. There were
many ladies in the room. The prisoners wore
an anxious LOOK and followed Judge Hawkins
charge with intense interest
The drift Of the charge was clearly against
the prisoIers. The Judge began by explain
ing the nature of the charge against the pris-
onsrs and expounded the law on the subject
lie then snalyzed the evidence, calling the
jury's attention 70 the fact that Burton's state
ment was not made under oath, aud therefore
entitled to very little credence. If there was
any truth in the statement, said the Judge, it
was astounding that no witness was called to
support it. The Judge drew attention likewise
to the fact that Cunningham and Burton had
frequently been seen together and dwelt upon
their connection with the trunk, what they
had told their landladies concerning it, and
the unsatisfactory explanation Cunningham
had since given of his relations thereto.
The jury then retired. They remained ont
not longer than fifteen minutes, and returned
with a verdict of guilty against both prisoners.
The Court at once sentenced both men to
penal servitude for life. The announcement
Of this sentence was received by the spectators
with applause, which the Court suppressed.
