Boston woman,s work.

Miss Caroline Nolan sof Boston, the
first woman who ever fired China
kiln, is about 50, years of age, with pale
red hair that just deepens from 3 golden
blonde, plump, short figure, broaden
ed by an apron, which conceals both
dress and form. A sweet, low voice and
very definite idea of what she wishes TO
say, and hands dimpled like baby's.
Five years ago she had kiln of the
ordinary size built under the direction
of an experienced workman, and, hav-
ing fitted herself for the business in En-
gland and other countries, she hoped to
make success. Just at the critical mo-
ment when her first ''baking'--an ex-
pensive dinner set among twas ready
Tor firing, her kiln-tender was found in
toxicated, and as it was fire or fail, she
attended to the firing herself until the
China was removed-a triumph OF wo-
manly pluck.
Owing to the excessive opposition OF
the only two firms doing amateur china
baking in this city, composed of men,
Miss Nolan's kiln barely supports itself,
her present generous income being de-
rived from designs in stained glass, for
which she is justly celebrated. Assisted
by six workmen who treat her with ut
most Difference, this enterprising woman
AIS orders for the most elaborate rooms
and edifces from Maine to San Francis
co all from original designs and often
original processes. In speaking of heI
china baking Miss Nolan gave a very
interesting description of the usual pro-
cess, and said that very little change
had been made in kiln-building for 4OC
years. If anything is intrusted to a
kiln, no matter how valuable it may be
there is no redress in case OF breakagt
or injury from smoke or imperfect treat
ment In desiring to produce new and
beautiful effects in stained glass she
made many disheartening failures from
lack of thoroughness in mastering tht
rudimentary details of her work. Their
was not for her more than for others :
royal road to success because of quicl
intentions, and she found it always bet
ter to 90 in the tried and beate.l path'
than to turn aside. Miss Nolan makes
a rule to employno drinking men, and
employing only skilled workmen, learn
from their suggestions many new idea
of the possibilities of artistic glass deco
ration.

Getting Even with the Ferryman.

A funny story was told me regarding
one of those doughty knights of the
sheep-shears and brand-iron who -four
ished in the wilds of southern Georgia
in the olden time. His name was
Wayne and a great and good man was
he. There were but fourteen men in
his county and twelve of them were his
sons. As matter of course he had a
walk-oyer at the election and came out
with flying colors, a duly elected MEM
ber OF the Georgia Legislature. He
owned the swiftest nag in those parts
and he was always in the lead when the
cavalcade of solons rode toward Mil
ledgeville.
One time, however, he was late The
legislature had been in session three
days, and all were getting anxious re-
garding the Hon. Mr.. Wayne. At
length, just as they were discussing the
propriety of appointing committee OF
inquiry, Wayne came riding over the
hill driving great flock of geese ahead
of him. The house adjourned to in
vestigate the matter, and as soon as the
quackers were corralled the old man
explained:

A Negroes Confession.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 22.-An old ne
gro came into Pierce City, in Lawrence
county, this state, and told a story hat
made many people believe he was crazy.
j j. White came to hat county and
bought n farm about eighteen months
ago. Shortly afterward his wife died,
and he was engaged to marry a Miss
Bowe, daughter of a ~neighbor. On
Whites farm a young man was employed
famed Ed. Clumm. He was in love with
Miss Bowe and a week ago Last Thurs
day he deliberately shot and killed both
White aud the young lady. Then he
made the negro help him bury them and
has by threats compelled him TO keep the
secret. To day the burden became too
heavy and the negro uuloaded. I%nvesti-
cation revealed the bodies right where
the negro said they were. Clumm is in
custody and will have a preliminary hear
ing to morrow, and will probably be
lynched.

Rough on Dixie.

LONDON. July 22.-Jawyer Matthews,
in addressing the Jury in the Crawford
Dixie case, referred with intense scorn to
"Frenchi6ed Sloane street orgies" and
said that no man who was not SO utterly
brutalized as to be lost to all shame would
act as Sir Charles had in them. Where y
asked the lawyer, lis Fanny, who is ac-
cused Of sharing in these orgies, while
trayed and degraded into them, is being
held Ut to infamy before the whole Eng
lish speaking world for ministering to the
horrible lust of Dixie? Fannie has van
ished; she dared not appear before this
Jury" Commenting upon the apparent
lack of sensibility manifested by Mrs-
Crawford, Matthews said Doubtless
the last spark of shame and self
respect in Mrs Crawiord's heart expired
after the three visits to bikes house.
The allegation Of conspiracy has complete
ly failed. ask the Jury to indorse the
judges decree nisi, made in the former
trial. l ask the jury to release Donald
Crawford from the tie which yet binds
him to a life ofshame and misery" Zap
plause.
Sir Walter Phillimore, on behalf of the
queen proctor, followed Matthews. Sir
Walter c%ontended that unless Donald
Crawford proved his wife committed adul-
terry with Sir Charles, he was not enti-
tied to a decree of divorce from her in
the present trial, because the commission
of adultery with the co respondent was
the particular and sole ground on which
u divorce was asked. Crawford
might obtain a divorce on the
ground of his wife's adultery with Capt.
Foster as shown in this trial,
but he would have to obtain it by bringing
another action, in which case Foster was
co respondent. Not a single witness had
sworn to either seeing Mrs. Crawford go
in or leave Sir Charles house, although
it was always crowded with officials and
friends. Every gentlemanly feeling had
restrained Sir Charles from going upon
the stand and testifying during the pre-
vious trial. There was a dark stain upon his
life, and he was unwilling to submit
to a process Of examination which would
be directed towards making an exposure
concerning Mrs. Eustace Smith, Mrs.
Crawford's mother. The absence OF
Fanny" Sir Walter argued, could be
similarly accounted for. She doubtlesslv
had a dark stain upon her life, and it was
enough to keep her out of the witness box.
Concerning Mrs. Crawford, Sir Walter said
the evidence showed that she had been
badly reared and that she was n most bold
and abandoned woman
The jury was possibly invisibly i'm
pressd by Matthews crushing Grafton.
The court adjourned until tomorrow,
when Sir Walter will conclude his address

The Anarch1st,s Trial.

CHICAGO. July % The first witnesses
called this afternoon were officers Jones,
McKeogh and flynn. They testified to
the finding of several thousand copies OF
the Revenge circulars in the office OF
the Ar6eiter Zeitm9-a great many copies
Of other circulars calling on workingmen
to take arms, were found at the same
place. Several pounds of dynamite in
one package were also discovered. Off
Ger McKeogh testified that he was in the
Arbeiter Zeitung office about an hour
after Spies arrest. lie saw the pack
age produced lying open and exposed to
view. Particularly pointed testimony re.
garding the finding Of dynamite materials

Officer Flynn.

United States navy, was the next witness
He had beard Spies, Parsons, FIELDING,

were natural enemies of workingmen.
He advised each individual present to

If a pistol was out OF the question, then
let him remember that enough dynamite
could be had for twenty-five cents to blow

were sometimes distributed through the
ArJeiter Zeituag office, but generally only
kept there for samples.
The defense made futile attempts to
place the witness in a ridiculous light, and
the days proceedings come to an end.

TelIer'a Turn.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-In addressing
the senate to day on the Payne investiga
ton, Mr.. Teller quoted from the Hoar
and Frye report, the following paragraph
''The senate has also recently referred to
the committee certain resolutions adopted
by a convention of the Republican editors
Of Ohio, held July 8, 1886, praying the
senate to investigate these charges. News
paper reports of the convention shows
that the governor OF the state was present
at the convention and declared his concur
renee IN said prayer. There have also
been communicated to us, extracts from
Democratic newspapers Of Ohio, showing
that a majority OF these papers have de-
clared their opinion that the election was
procured by corruption. Copies Of these
extracts are appended.
Il will not venture he continued, TO
comment on that statement. | will not
trust myself to express in this body my
opinion of an attempt to compel by a pub
lie convention OF political editors the de-
termination of a judicial question; ] will
leave that for the minority. | think l
need only to state it, to have
every honest man in the land
affronted. | am satisfied from al exam
nation of the testimony that there is no
proof of corruption of the members of
the legislature, and that no proof of it
can be obtained by this senate. / do not
pretend to say that all the methods Of Ohio
politics are correct. | did not inquire as
to what may have been done beyond
during the campaign or at some other
time. | confined myself to the question
submitted to the committee by the senate.
On that | have acted. on that | ain pre-
pared to record my vote, and record it
under the solemnities of my oath, with
out regard to the wishes of any mar or
men unmoved by prejudice or passion.
by interest or favor; unawed by threats,
unterrorized by what they say is public
opinion
Senator Sherman proceeded to address
the senate at length in favor of an inves
tigation, followed by Eustis in support of
the majority report. The chair (Mr.
SewelD announced the question to be on
the adoption OF the report of the major
ity OF the committee. Mr.. Hoar moved
as an amendment that the minority re-
port, calling for an investigation be
adopted instead. Mr.. Frye, in support
ing the minority report said the question
was whether bribery and corruption had
been used, and not whether the senator
from Ohio had himself been a participant
in It, In conclusion, Frye said the
United States can engage IN no higher,
no better, no more responsible duty than to
put itself to a work, the result of which
might be a warning and terrible warning,
sounding from East to West and from
North to South, that this corruption by
great wealth must stop now and forever.
The vote will be taken at . o'clock to.

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, July 22,-Mr. Hatch,
of Missouri, from the committee on agii'
cultural, reported back as a matter o.
privilege the oleomargarine bill with the
senate amendment. The speaker helt
that the report was not a privileged ont
and declined to entertain IT.
Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, rose to cal
up the naval increase bill, but fearing the
friends of the oleomargarine bill would
unite and vote against him. withdrew ii
for the present, and the speaker pro
ceeded to call the committees for reports,
when the following were submitted:
By Tucker. of Virginia, from the com
mittee on Judiciary, calling upon the at,
torney general for information as to what
action was taken under the Joint resolu
ton, approved April 10, 1869, for the
protection of the interests of the United
States in the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific Railroads Calendar.
BY Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, from the
committee on agricultural, the oleomar
garine bill with the senate amendments
and with a recommendation that they bt
non %concurred in. 1t was referred to tn,
committee of the whole, where it take,
its place at the foot of the calendar, anC
where it can only be reached by laying
aside the Morrison and Randall tariff bill
and one or Two internal revenue bills.
Mr.. Herbert again called up the speciaI
order, and Mr., Hatch again raised tn,
question of consideration of the oleomar
garine bill. The house refused to con
slider either the navy increase bill or tn,
inter state ommerc bill, and then wen
into committee of the whole on the
revenue bills, the object being to reacl
the sleomarearine bill, the Morrison tariff
bill. The bill giving notice OF termination

An Insane Chinese Convict.

JOLIET. July 22.-Ah Sou. a Chinese
murderer, serving a term of seven years
at Joliet, sent up from Laramie City in
1883, became violently insane at the pris-
on recently, and was to-day taken to the
asylum. But two Chinese c~onvicts have
ever worn the stripes at Joliet, All Jou
and Ling All Dive. The latter was sent
from Chicago for life several years ago for
numbering another Chinaman. Ling All
Dive attempted to kill All Jou, his cell
mate at the prison, several times, and
stabbed convict Church in the back with
a butchers knife. The ~convicts were in
constant fear of the treacherous heather,
and many threats were made to kill him
by his fellow c~onvicts until he was finally
declared Insane by the prison physician,
and he was taken to Kankakee and
placed in the asylum. Charles Smith a
three year burglar from Wyoming, was
also sent to the asylum Tuesday.

A Strange Deluslon.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 22.-One o.
the most remarkable religious manias u
which there is any record has broken ou'
in II little circle in this city. A party o
thirty or forty people, most Of then
prominent and above the average IN IN
telligence, believe that Mrs. John b
Maltin, of Walnut Hills, is Christ mani
fest In the flesh, aud that her sister, Mrs
John +. Brook, is the Holy Ghost. The
followers OF these two women meet a
Mrs. Brooks house, and worship then
both. Mrs. Martin has exerted somt
strange aud wonderful influence that has
put them completely in her power, anc
they are fanatics on the subject. One VI
the followers of this woman Christ il
named Jerome. He was a ~bookkeepel
here for tue Grnciuus1..r~m-rf An
pleton.& Co., the New York publishers.
He gave up his position Of 81, 800 IA year
to serve the female Savior OF mankind.
To an Enquirer reporter who saw him
o.day he said in an earnest and eloquent
conversation: II have seen God face to
face in the last half hour.
A young man named Cook who works
in the auditors office of the Adams Tx
press company, has also been captured.
He resigned his position and has attached
himself to the new sect. They believe
that all churches are frauds, and the
preachers are a set of fools. Accounting
for the fact that Christ should manifest
himself in a female, they say that in
heaven there are no sexes, and the Savior
is as liable to appear in a woman as in a
man Mrs. Martin, the New Christ -
and Mrs. Brook, the Holy Ghost" they
say, are the only two perfect women on
earth, and that the millennium is at hand.
This movement has been going on quietly
for a year, without becoming generally
known. The women secluoe themselves,
and will not be seen by any one who is not
a %worshiper, or vouched for by one Of them.
Many have sold their homes and taken
houses near the woman on the hill. Those
say they do not need work or money. All
they need is spiritual food. and this will
be furnished by the Lord, just as it was
furnished to the children in the wilder
ness.
A Miss Andrews, who lives with her
mother on Walnut Hills, is almost insane
from excitement, and passes her whole
time in weeping, singing and praying.
Her mother has tried to show her the
the folly of her belief, but in vain. Among
the worshippers of these new gods are
Mrs. Judge Carpenter. Miss Tillie Car
penter, Miss Emma Black, Mrs. l. H.
Foulds, Mr.. John Cook, Miss Cook, Mr..
Il. w. Jerome, Miss Marie Andrews.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Burke, Mr.. and Mrs.
Reuben Sherwood. Mrs. Flora Miller. Mr..
Sheppard, Miss Homitt, and Mrs. Crock
er. In this list are numbered some of the
best people in Cincinnati. Exposure to
public ridicule, it is thought, will bring
them to their senses.
