SUMMER RESORT.
The Spot Chosen for the Newport
of the Northwest.

The one choice retreat on the shores of
Devils lake where peace and quiet are to
be found; where the ambitious angler
may cast his line with certain and boun-
tiful results; whore aquatic pleasures
and sports may be indulged in to the
best advantage; where the overworketl
business man may sleep and rest beneath
tho sombre-boughed elms and giant
oaks; where the mother may throw OFT
the restraints of city life and lot the kids
measure their lengths upon the green
sward and play leap-frog and so on in
frocks especially made to be soiled and
torn at the seashore; where the most ar
dent lovers may spoon and spoon again
in hooks especially designed by Nature
for this North American privilege !;
wherc the forlorn maiden may reap the
four-leafed clover which tells her of
conquests lost and Of the days which are
no more; where the confirmed bachelor
may mediate upon his harvestings of
wild oats sown broadcast over the field
Of II misspent life, and tlirt with tho ell
derby spinster In Il modest bathing suit {;
whero tho confirmed dyspeptic may find
the long-lost appetite, and forever aban-
don tho prescribed milk porridgo; {;
where tho consumptivo of last stages
may he inspired with the hopo Of long
existence by breathing in tho balm Of
pure air; where tho Lake Minnctonka
mosquito is unknown; where tho un-
tanned Dakota brcozes dispense their am
brosial offerings in healthful plcntcous-
ness and leave tho victim of smoky and
poorly-sewercd cities full of life and
vigorous ioy-the one choice retreat
where all these transformations take
place has been located upon the briny
straits that load out to the great salt lake
of North Dakota.

since 1884 in righting the wrongs against
women in the common law which had come
down from our English ancestors. A woman

steadily enlarged and protected until now

cerned, stands as equals before the law. In
the talk which followed, participated in by
Mr.. Thomas Tash, Mr.. Baker, Mrs. Stevens,
Mrs Perry, DIR. DevOil, Mrs. Humphrey,
Mrs. and Dr. Bashford and others, IL was
showed that the laws Of Massachusetts are
far less favorable TO women than are the
laws of Maine. Miss. Allen read a selection
from Sweet Cieely." Ii Is the purpose Of
the Association TO ask for legislation from
the coming legislature in behalf OF woman
suffrage A suggestion was made that 1t
may be we'll to consider the question Of ask

| secure for women all the protected privileges
which are now given 10 men. Mrs. May A.

the association and to address the legisla.

the reform to which they give their hearty
adherence.

Miss Mary S. Brennan, the matron Of q
female seminary in Cincinnati. is said to be
the only woman in the country who holds a
license as an engineer. There was trouble
in the school with the heating apparatus,
and she took hold Of the matter, studied up
the science Of steam heating and introduced
many improvements. Finally she went be-
fore the board of inspectors and passed a
first class examination and received her Ii
eense as an engineer. This shows that a
woman may, With patience, learn to run even
a house furnace.

a Woman who objects to Having
Her Property Destroyed.

BosToN, Dec. 1.-THE aristocratic ele-
ment in the Sophomore class at Harvard
University is in fever of excitement over the
action of the faculty with reference to sever
al of their number. The most fashionable
club at Harvard is the Institute Of NO.
or as it is better known "The Dickcy." Not
only must the candidate for membership
possesses wealth, but the highest social DO
stion must be held by his family. About
week ago ten SOph0mores were elected to
membership, and former members began to
initiate them. Last Sunday evening three
of the new men, who dine together at a pri-
vate club on oxford street, Cam bridge, had
as guests at dinner four of the "Dickey'
men who were initiating them. During the
evening the party became boisterouS, and
the runners" began to review their Initial
ing methods. The room was luXuriosly fur
nished, but in obedience to orders from the
runners the candidates deliberately de-
molshed an elegant plate glass mirror
stripped the walls of handsome pictures,
piano, and to complete the work of destruc-
tion all hands took hold of the instrument
and hurled it through the window, sash and
all. They then departed for their several
rooms, after telling the landlady to send
around her bill. The landlady, however,
proceeded at once to the presidents house,
related the facts and gave the names of the
parties. The president investigated the case
anda at 4 meeting of the faculty on We'd
nesday, three Of the young men were dis
missed from college, and two others sus-
pended for one year. Two of the youg fel-
lows hail from Boston, one from Salem, one

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Three Highwaymen Board a Trair
and Rob the Passengers.

ST. Louis, Dec. 12.-The three robbers
who went through train near Bellevue sta
tion yesterday were unmasked and made no
attempt at concealment. They arrived at a
water tank few minutes before the train.

with drawn pistol, ordered Engineer Ayers
and his fireman, and Q. G. Miller, another
engineer who was riding on the cab, to
alight which they did. He then marched
them some thirty feet from the train and
took all the valuables they had. While this
was going on the other men went through
the train.
One of the passengers who was looking
out OF a window saw the operation with the
train men and suspecting the situation went
into the forward cars and told the other pas
sengers to secret their money. This they
did in various ways, giving most of it and
their diamonds to several ladies aboard.
Miss Kate Haas of Fort Worth took charge
of $4,000. Mrs Chambers of Pottsdam, n.
Y, received $1,000 and some diamonds. Mrs.
Wittlck of Carthage, Mo-, took her hus-
bands gold watch and several hundred dol
lars.
Mrs. Wittick was greatly incensed at the
proceeding and boldly stood up in the car
and asked If 40 men were going to submit to
such 0utrages at the hands of two highway
men. About $4,000 in money and $4,000 worth
of diamonds and yaluables was left by the
robbers in their haste to. get through the
train and because they did not search the
ladies. They were evidently novices in the
business aud went away with the paltry
sum of S105, three gold watches, ten silver
watches. five revolvers and one gold ring.
The robbers left the train at the rear of the
sleeper, mounted horses standing near, and
rode rapidly away The train was then hur-
ried on to Bellevue, whence kilograms were
sent to Superintendent Forstall at Fort
Worth, who Immediately replied, offering
$3.50 reward for each robber.

Victor, the blind horse, owned by Mr.. Ly-
man Bachelor Of this city, is dead. Not
withstanding his loss of sight, he had gained
considerable reputation as fast hsrse, and
has won many an exciting race over Port
land street, and on the ice in Back Bay. He
was OF Knox blood, and was raised by Mr..
j. A. Tompson of this city. In spite Of his
blindness he was valuable animal, and
both Mr.. TOmpSon and Mr.. BacheldeY dur
ing their respective ownerships refused sew
eIal offers of good prices for him.
The Bangor Whig relates a singular case
which occurred in that city. A year ago, a
horse belonging to Hon. +. A. Cummings in
jured one OF his feet so badly that the hoof
had to be taken Off A veterinary surgeon
advised the killing Of the animal, saying
that the foot could never be used again. Mr.
Cummings, however, objected and said that
the hoof would be replaced in time. His
views were correct, and a whole year was re.
quired for the operation. The animal now
has a new ho0f, and his owner has CON-
menced working him upon one Of his Goa
teams.
