HER NIGHT DRESS.
A sensational case OF capturing q child is re-
ported from Bernville, near Reading, Pa. Mrs.
Minnie Rhine resides there and in her family
was a very pretty 3-year-old girl named Minnie
Haines Mrs. Rhine had taken the little girl 10
raise, and up to sunday afternoon she was not
only we'll cared for but was the little idol of the
household. Mrs. Rhine alleged before Judge
Ermentrout that Sunday afternoon, while the
child was up stairs sleeping, closed carriage
was hastily driven up to her house aud the
horses stopped. that q well dressed young man
hastily dismOunted. entered the yard aud tie
house, and during her absence went up stairs
to where the child was lying, grabbed up the
dazed little one and carried her down in her
night clothes into the carriage, whereupon the
horses were rapidly driven away The lad v
sobbSd very pittluily as she remarked that was
the last seen OF her little Minnie, and that she
did not know where they had taken ner to.
THE OHILD's EATHKk ACCUSED.
Mrs. Rhine further alleged that she has reason
to believe that the party WAS the father OF the
child, who had placed the little one in a chari-
table institution some time ago, whence she
had obtained her. Judge Ermentrout granted
q writ OF habeas corpus for the possession OF the
child, and papers Were put in the sheriff 8
hands to bring the accused man into court.

THE ABUSE OF FANS.
People Who Fan the Backs Of the
NeckS Of Their NeighbOrs.

Full rounded justice has never been done to
the woman with fan. 1t is true that this fe-
male Is not perennial. She has her season like
the flies and the mosquitoes. But when the first
faint breath of spring comes to breathe upon
the Icy grasp Of winters when there is q mild
suggestion OF flowers and spring dresses, then
she begins once more to be q power in the
world. Her theater Of action is mainly the
church. and there on any Sunday her victims
may be seen shivering and shaking and mov-
ing uneasily about to avoid the chilling blasts
OF air that are dung OF from the fan that moves
as II 1t was operated by clock work. When the
neck, aud everybody knows what delightful
sensation that ~, the person most directly in-
terested In that particular back Of the neck be-
avail to get ont OF the range OF the gale. Some
times fan Is spread over the afflicted
part. but the creator and ruler of the intrudng
zephyr remains calmly unconscious. After
y while the polar rigidity OF the neck begins TO
spread, and the owner draws up whatever
wrap + near at hand and huddIes down behind
it. The cold winds still sweep along, and until
the parson has reached seventhly and lastly it
10 q contest between the wrap and the relent-
the Tan, Tor unless the head is completely en-.
shrouded there II no chance OF avoiding tue
blasts from the industrious palm leaf In the
goes home to thaw out and review the memo
ries OF that ICY hour and half. The owner OF
Tie fan refreshed by the gospel exposition OF
exalted thought that she will carry this gospel to
sOme one whom sue knows does not practice 1t.
There are some people v ho have been known
TO be quite inoeSsant user. Of the tan, and yet
who are conscious that there may be people in
their vicinity who are disturbed by having q
gale playing about their backs.l They regulate
The motion OF the tan accordingly. But the
vast majority Of the great army Of fan manipu-
lstors seem 70 be OF the opinion that they have
right 70 fan =. they choose, and no one can
snce o. such people in an audience. Their calm.
ness stands out Ia striking contrast with the
unrest o. their viSnm,s; Inc, xnsy endure the dis
that Ia usual In such cases, and they are willing
70 stop tanning a. soon g they leave the
church.
Something In this style was what STAR re-
porter heard the other evening. when the con-
yerSAttOn happened TO turn 70 tbs subject of
fans, and from an interesting discussion OF the
Chinese origin Of the custom to some chat
about the quaint and beautiful forms which
have been Introduced. the talk at last turned TO
what one member Of the party at least regarded
as the important part OF the subject-namely,
the abuse Of the use OF the fan.

A Curious Cause of Death.

r'ol inc Fredericksburg eva } News
Mrs. Fanny A. Lewis died at her residence in
this place on Friday morning last, aged about
sixty years. Mrs. Lewis for many months past
has suffered intensely from an affliction which
completely battied the skill of the physicians OF
this city, VINO have assiduously waited upon
her, as well AS physicians elsewhere, whom she
hao consulted. SUCH was the singular character
OF the lnalady that no surgical operation sug-
gesied tself Ior herrelief. Some days before her
death she asked that q pOst-mortem examine.
llon should be made in the interest OF science,
ana that afternoon the same was made by Dr.
Martin, assisted by Drs Roy and Ashton, when
q TUT OF hair was discovered inside of her as
large as a man fist. The physicians say that
no such case Is recorded in the medical works,
ana mas not occurred before in their Xperence
Mrs. Lewis has resided in this place almost
continuously since her return from California.
IN i SOL, when she was a passenger on the ill
lated steamer Central America, which was lost
at sea, when her gallant captain, Vim. Lewis
Herndon, native OF this city, and number OF
the Grey aud passengers went down with the
snip. Mrs. Lewis, upon leaving the ship, re-
ceived from Capt Herndon his watch, with the
request that II saved she woulE deliver the
same to Mrs. Herndon, then residing in New
York city, which trust was faithfully fulfilled.

One OF the proposed incorporators. Mr.. John

given his name TO the enterprise because he
was In favor OF any movement that would tend
TO build up the city. He thought that now
Washington needed a large hotel with appoint-

creasing population. II was now proposed To
nave permanent exposition here. and the
natural increase in ;he number of visitors is
reason enough for the enlargement OF the pres
