All rich people do not choose to live amid
such luxury. 1t is becoming quite the
fashion nowadays for the spoiled darlings
of society to accompany their husbands and
brothers to the AdiriondackS on hunting eX-
petitions. They clOthe themselves in
coarse wooden costumes. made with Qua
keTike painmeSs, and wear leather gloves
and coarse shoes. They camp out on the
mountain peaks and follow the chase with
a true sportsman eagerneSs. They return
to the city in the fall brown as a nut and
recOuped for their inevitable round of
fashionable dissipation. The sleep which
they get from their birch bark couches on
the mountain sides does much to prove
that nature indeed has a sweet restOrer.
Could they pass about six months of the
year on the expeditions. the mental and
physical stand ny of the next generation of
rich young New Workers would be aburf
fifty degrees above the present high-nu
mark

A Young Chinese ~ oman Sliced Into
ThOusnnd Pieces.

Thousand Fieces.
Canton Letter.
The execution ground yesterday was the
scene of most horrible tragedy. A young
girl, aged IS. was put to death by the bar
barrie method of Ling Chi, or beng cut into
a thousand pieces. The girl who was mar
ried some time ago, lived with her husband,
her father and mOther-in-law. in small
village in the district of We Ping, or Peace.
in the department of Wal Chau. One
day few months ago her husband,
father and mOther-in-iaw had gone to
their duties in the field. and the
young wife was left at home to prepare the
meals aid look after the pigs. She pre-
pared kind of congee for the pigs, along
with which she boiled root said to De
very good for fattenng pigs and sheep.
While she went out calling the pigs her hus-
baud, his father and mother, along with
neighbor. returned home. The calling of
pigs is..a sight and sound frequently met
with in travelling through villages in China,
as the porkers are allowed to wander along
the roads and villages at will. The party
returning from their work hot and thirsty
wished for something to drink, and seeing
the congee took some and drank it off.
The root which had been boiled with the
comgee, though good for sheep and pigs, is
bad for man. The four persons gradually
developed symptoms poisoning and ulti-
nlately died. The clans-people Of the
deceased took the young girl to the
district magistrate aud preferred charge
of poisoning her husband. father and
mother ln-law and female ne ghbor. To
make the charge appear more plausible un
der the circumstances. which were all in her
FAVOR, they intimated that she had poisoned
her relatives because she was afraid of be-
ing discovered that she had been unfaithful
to her marriage VOWS. The magistrate
made strict investigation. and no evidence
beng produced that she was guilty of inf
deity. he decided to release her. To this
the clan objected most strenu0usly. so the
case was referred to the project. Tie pre-
fect's decision corroborated that of the dis
trict magistrate but the clanspeople were
bent upon her destruction, so the caseswas
referred to the provincial judge. His judg-
ment correspondent with those of his two
suoordinates. Still the clanspeople were
not satisfied. So the case was brought be-

the 1884 woman suffrage candidate for

to meet the dear girl. Belva told stoiy
which shows that she has good memory
and does not let a chance slip by
to get even. She was in Chester
county once on some law business, and
when about to address the court the
judge refused to recognize her as law
yer. She couldn't convince him, and so had
to retire. Some time afterwards Bplva was
sitting in the district court at Washington
when Chester county attorney appeared
before the court for admission he having
some rather important business to transact.
The Judge was about to admit the Chester
man. but before doing so said that if the
Chester county courts extended the same
courtesy to District of Columbia attorneys
and there were no objections his name
might be enrolled. Instantly Belva A.
Lockwood was on her feet and said: II
object To the adm ssion, your honor. as
Chester county refused the same courtesy to
me-" That settled it. The court waved
the Chester attorney away, and he doesn't
practice in that court.

Speaking of autumn leaves as 1 was

friends. amid the glories of the October
landscape, | asked one of the party, a lady.
if she had collected any of the brilliant red
ones this year as was her custom. She said
no. that it was impossible to get good ones.
that all she had examined proved to be dis
figured by stains or blotches, which made
them useless for purposes of decorations.
This defect was not apparent in looking al
the leaves as they hung III great masses
on the trees. but was noticeable wien
they were stripped off. Another fact 10
which my attention was called was thai the
leaves were falling before many of them
had changed color. the ground beng
strewed with the yellow and red. while
the green were still upon the boughs. My
companion suggested as reason Tor this
state OF things that the frost had struck
the foliage too early for the full frnition OF

When W. L. Johnson resigned his,
commission on the Indian board,
the friends Of Bishop Walker Sc
cured the place for the latter, and he
was recently in Washington looking
after the matter, the associated press
saying: "Walker is a tall broad
silouldered man, with a fine address.
He dresses fashionably, and his
prominent distinguishing mark is
an enormous seal ring which he
wears on the third finger of the
right hand. He can be traced all
over Washington by that ring.
which seems to have rivited the at
tention Of every person who saw it.
Either the ring or the Bishops fine
address captured the president. and
his nomination yesterday was a sur
prise to all the officials in the Indian
bureau, none of whom had recon-
mended him. A good joke on the
bishop, Of which he is probably not
aware, is told here that in two
hotel corridors he was pointed out
as the proprietor of one of the most
conspicuous faro banks of Montana
his size, neat dress, stylish appear
ance and ring having caused him to
be mistaken by two Eastern travel
ers through the northwest for a
gentleman of sporting tendencies in
Helena. The Indian bureau is
much pleased with the appointment,
the only doubt existing being of
uncertainty as to the bishops poll
tics, that office seeming to consider
it desirable that a ma ajority of the
board should be in accord with the
administration.

you wish a jolly good laugh, come.
We call attention to an interview
had by the Minneapolis Tribune
with Gen. Washburn Of the Mime
aplis & Pacific railroad, published in
another place. Mr.. Washburn really
promises much to the farmers along
the line of his road. The NJ. & P.
now has the full confidence and best
wishes of the farmers in this Sec
tion Of country-in this county we
know-and if the new road proves
itself able to compete as Mr.. Wash.
burn proposes, it will ever hold this
confidence and esteem. We pub
lished some time since the particu-
lars of the millers' association dis
solving, and it is hoped the new
plan will, really, rebound to the
the benefit of all concerned. And
we believe it will. Read what the
general says.
One Of our Dakota contempora-
ries seem to have struck the right
drift in regard to what some con-
slider a newspaper dun. Let a
farmer place himself in a similar
business and see if he would not do
the same. Suppose he raised one
thousand bushels of wheat and his
neighbor should come and buy a
bushel, and the price was a small
matter of So or less, and say, II
will hand you the amount in few
days. As tho farmer does not want
to appear small he says all right,
and the man leaves with the bushel
Of wheat. Another one comes in
the same way and still another, un-
til the whole thousand bushels of
wheat are trusted out to one thous-
and different persons. and not one
of the purchasers concerns himself
about it, for it is a very small
amount he owes the farmer and of
course that does not help him any.
He does not realize that the farmer
has fritterd away his large crop of
wheat, and its value is due him in a
thousand little tributes, and that he
is sesiously embarrassed in his bus
mess because his debtors treat it as
a small matter. But if they would
pay him promptly, which they could
do az well as not, it would be a large
amount to the farmer, and would
enable him to carry on his business
without difficulty. The above COM
parison is too true of the difficulty
with which the newspaper man has
to contend.
