These peaks are tn toys of your sense
of greatness and majesty. They make
you keep company with their silen. life.
They hush the tumult within yoS, and
awe the soul into alteration. They keep
before you two things, the Limitation of
your nature and the greatness of your
life. They change with the hues of the
sky, and yet they stand like sentinels at
the gateway of the world. They seize
upon what is transient, and they sug-
gest what is eternal. You are in their
power, rs you are in the hands of a
stronger person. They do not let go
their hold upon one who is sensitive to
the outer world. and it is the watching
of these peaks until one has lost his
grasp Of the things of familiar sense that
constitutes their wonderful charm.

Judge Pennybunker, an old bachelor,

The swords for the British army which
are manufactured at Solingen, Germany
are subjected to the following tests; The
blade has first of all to support a weight
of sixteen kilogrammes placed upon its
point, without showing the least defiec-

such an extent as to cause the bending
blade to shorten by sixteen centimetres
and, on its removal, to snap back per-
fectly straight. A hard blow is her
given. first with the edge and then with
the back of the blade, on an iron block,

measured. Then comes the bending
test. in which the blade is subjected to a

Mrs. Clcyeland's Title.

A pretty story, if one could believe it,
is told by the Paris correspondent of a
Vienna paper. A short time ago a matt
nee of music was given by the Duchess
Lamotte, and among the guests was the
charming bride-elect of President Cleye-
land, then in Paris completing her trous-
seau. The young lady was the object Of
many marks Of distinction, the high aris-
tocracy surrounded her, and there was
much talk Of her position. One Lady,
the daughter-in-law of the Duchess de
Persigny, condoled with Miss Folsom
because she would have no title as the
wife of Republican President. 'sAll
would be well, only you will have no
title said she; you will only be called
Mrs. Cleveland. but that name is
only for strangers" was the answer of
the fair American; ''the President has
for intimacy conferred upon me very
particular title" Everybody looked up
curiously, and, blushing deeply, Miss
Folsom added: 'sHe calls me-his dar-
ling. Can wife desire a better title?"
The hostess embraced heramiable guest,
remarking, ':You are right, and You ap-
pear TO me as if you would keep the title
to the end of your life. y

''The orator for the occasion has al
ready been selected by the board of man

choice has fallen is Col. Charles Marshall,

''That question is difficult to answer.

GEORGE FOX'S FEAT.
How the Founder Of the Society of Friends Set
Dslocated Neck.
(From the Medical Record.)

(From the Medical Record)
In an interesting and scholarly adj
dress by DR.. J. j. Levick on the "Early
Physicians of Philadelphia" he tells us
how George Fox travelled through New
Jersey and New England, keeping a
faithful journal of all that occurred. "In
1872 he was passing through New Jersey,
then but sparsely settled. He had spent
the day with Richard Hartshorne at
at Middletown Harbor, (the ancestor, if
I mistake not, Of one Of our present
Board of Managers, and Of three physi-
clans of that name who have so well
served this hospital, and next morning
went on to Shrewsbury. While at
Shrewsbury writes Fox, 'an accident
befell which for the time was great ex-
ercise to us. One John Jay, Friend,
of Barbados, who came with u from
Road Island, being to trie a horse got
upon his back, and the horse fell run
ming and cast him down upon his head,
and brake his neck as the people said.
They that were near him took him up
dead, and carried him good way and
laid him on tree. I got to him as soon
as could, and feeling on him, conclud-
ed he was dead. AS stood by him pity
ing him and his family, I took hold of
his hair, and his head turned anyway it
was so timber. Whereupon throwing
away my stick and my gloves, I took his
head in both my hands, and setting my
knees against the tree I raised his head
and perceived there was nothing out or
broken that way. Then I put one hand
under his chin and the other behind his
head, and raised his head two or three
times with all my strength and brought
it in. I soon perceived his neck began
to grow stiff again, and then he began to
rattle in his throat, and quickly after to
breathe. The people were amazed, but
bid them have good heart and be of
good faith; to carry him in the house,
give him something warm to drink, and
put him to bed. After he had been in
the house a while he began to speak, but
did not know where he had been. The
next day he was pretty well, and many
hundreds of miles did he travel with us
after this. -

AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO ROB.
The Plot Which it ia said Wns Discovered Ii
Enst st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, June 10.-A huge conspira-
CIV, the magnitude of which the sheriff
and his officers as yet decline to make
public, has been unearthed in East st.
Louis, but when the details are fully
known they Will furnish another sensa-
ton from the turbulent little city across
the river. For about two weeks Sheriff
Robiquet with some special men have
been watching the movements OF gang
in East st. Louis. On Thursday they
were run down, and one of the parties
implicated, it is said, made confession
giving away the whole business. The
plan arranged by the gang was to ascer-
tain when there were large amounts of
money on hand in the East st. Louis
Treasury and the Workingmens Bank
and leading business houses of the city,
and whenever a favorable opportunity
occurred to rob them, and also the pri-
vate residences of wealthy citizens who
were asccrtained to have considerable
amounts of money and valuable jewelry
in their houses. Noted cracksmen from
various parts Of the country are reported
to have been engaged by the gang to do
tie fine work. Acting on the advice of
tie party who squealed, Sheriff Robi-
quct last night arrested Jack Britton at
the Little Rolling Mills, where he was
at work, alleging that he was the chief
OF the gang and had charge OF the burg
lars tools. Britton was taken to Belle
vile and lodged in jail, but denied all
knowledge OF the conspiracy. Import
ant developments may be expected. It
is alleged that a majority OF the police
the conspiracy and that they will be
proceeded against. y significant fact in
this connection is the special session Of
the City Council called last night by
Mayor Joyce \ resolution was adopted
the entire police force of
fourteen men, Chief Holleran alone be-
ing retained. Detectives are now work
ing on the case.

pears that at an early hour this morn
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Halpin, = couple liy

woman was assaulted by her husband
with a skillet. Her head was cut and
she was badly bruised as the result oil
the blows she had received. but her II,
juries were not such as to nave caused
death. Soon after committing the as
sault upon his wife. Halpin lett the
house, and has not been seen since zee =

Halpin was visited by a neighbor nam
ed Mrs. Mccarthy, to whom she ue-
tailed The story of her sufierlngs tfom
the continued ill-treatment OF her nus
band, and said she had determlnea 10

and left Mrs. Halpin sitting on ehalr
in the front room of her house. On re-
turning few minutes afterward she
was found lying on the floor OF the back
room, and during the interval she had
either died or been killed. There was
no blood on her face or body, and moth
ing specially indicative OF violence. she
had not been dead long, however, when
her face and neck began TO be covered
with black spots, and this was at hrst
supposed to be evidence of stTangula-
ton. What was actually the cause oil
her death remains a mystery. No. one
is known to have entered the house be

house and returned, and her husband
could not have been there without be-
ing seen by some of the neighbors. all
OF whom were indignant at the woman
story of his continuous cruelty toward
her. A doctor who was called IN gave
it as his opinion that the woman died
from natural causes superiuduCe..
probably from the action of the shock
to which she had been exposed. But
investigation and post-mOTtem Will be
necessary to establish whether or not
this is the case. Halpin, who was
night Waterman at ArmOur's packing
house, but has been for some time out

direction Of the Hannibal railroad
bridge. At2:40 this afternoon the po-
lice were informed of the capture OF
