EUGENE FIELD TELLS TRUE STORY ABOUT
THE WAY HAWTHORNE WORKS.
From the Chicago News.
In the current number Of Lfppincotfs
Magazine Mr.. Julian Hawthorne says that he re-
twenty-six consecutive hours without pause.
We remember to have heard Mr.. Hawthorne
say that this was during his residence in Lon
don shortly after he had entered upOn literary
career. he had agreed to have q story done by
certain hour on certain day, and, as is very
on the work until the eleventh hour Them con-
1fonted oy the uncompromising fact that he must
40 the work or lose his money, he set himself
at the task with all his might and MAN. He
started in at nine o'clock one morning and stuck
nard at work until nearly noon the next day.
He says he found no difficulty in writing after
Inc nrst hour; his thoughts came freely and his
hand worked mechanically. He remembers
that when he finished the story he became
aware that his little children were playing about
the room where he had been writing; he neither
now they looked more like shadows than real,
tangible FORMS He did not feel particularly
worried; but his brain seemed to be strangely
confused; so, instead Of going to bed, as a man
naturally would think OF doing he put on his
nat and overcOat and set out for o long walk.
he remained out of doors until dusk; then,
upon his return home, he ate a light supper,
drank two bottles of ale and went to bed. The
bodily exercise had cleared his head, his brain
was as cool and quiet as could be wished and
ne slept eighteen hours as soundly and peace
fully as child.
Within the last month Mr. Hawthorne has
Done big piece of work in q remarkably short
time. On the twenty-third of March he began

So soon as Clipsham had determined to 60 TO
Colorado, the doctor asked him If he should
stop in st. Louis. He said he certainly should.
Then the doctor told him that he must call on
the address. The doctor took card and wrote
on 1t Mr. George Clpsham, introduced by DR..
Jones'. CHpsham was lying on long extern
sion chair, carefully wrapped up In Zun1
blanket, and he asked the doctor to put down
the name and street on this fatal calendar, and
there the doctor put ii, Just as ClipSham babe

HARRISBURG BANKS SWINDLED BY THE TREA.
SURER OF MISSIONARY SOCIETY
A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times
from Harrisburg, April 81, says 1t has Just
leaked out that two Harrisburg banks have
been swindled of $500 by well-executed for
geries. The person alleged to have been guilty.
of the crOokedness is Miss Priscilla Mcclure a
member of one of the best families in this city
ana IOr several years a teacher in the Pine
street Presby teran church and until lately
treasurer OF the missionary society OF the
church, with which she has long been connected
she was considered one of the most exemplary
members OF the congregation and the discovery
OF forged Endorsement on notes, on which she
obtained the money from the banks, has caused
a great sensation among her friends. Miss
Mcclure left this city short time after the
notes indicated had been discounted and her
present location is unknown. but she is sup
posed TO be in one of the southern states. One
OF the notes. for 81 800, was Endorsed with the
name OF the lady's mother. Recently it came
due and notice being sent to the supposed in
dorser she declared that the name was d forgery
She, however, waived the protest to save her
daughter.
Since then the case has been placed in the
hands OF AN attorney, in the hope OF the re-
covery OF the amount paid by the bank to Miss
Mcclure. Another note Oh 81 900 was cashed
by the Dauphin Deposit bank, of which Sena-
tor Cameron Is one OF the trustees. This was in
dorsed with the name OF Thomas Furst of
Bellefonte, cousin OF the missing lady 1t has
been recently learned that this name Is also q
forgery. The reason which impeled the al
legged forger1es can only be conjectured. Moth
Ing Is known as to what disposition was made
OF the money. Among the reasons is one that
