Couldn't Slow up Her Talk.
from the New York SUM-

lrIOu Cu0 NEW IOrk
Mrs. Fannie Jacobs, g. young and
very pretty widow, was a. witness yes
terday before Judge Peckham and a
jury, in the supreme court, in suit
against her by the National Thread
Company and others for about ST.
500, alleged to be due for goods con-
signed to her husband before his
death. Mrs. Jacobs averred that there
was no Indebtedness, and testified
with such extreme rapidity that
Judge Peckham interposed, asking her
to talk more slowly.
GLOW can I, judge?" pleaded the
witness. 81 am only in the midst
of my story, I cannot stop"
"BEt you must STOP" persisted the
judge. "No living stenographer can
possibly take down what you say"
"You are right, judge" remarked
Col. Sheridan, the stenographer 81
hope you may be able to check her a
little, or else there will be a. dead Ste
nCgrapher here"
''In all my experience" said Judge
Peckham, II never encountered q wit
ness SO incorrigible and SO discursive,
Or who could talk so fast"
"No wonder her husband died in a
lunatic asylum" added ex-Judge Dit
tenhoefer, who was counsel on the
other side.
"Did you talk as loud as you do
here?" asked ex-Judge Dittenhoefer
upon cross examination when ques-
tioning the witness in regard to an in
terview which she had had with GER
tain gentleman.
"Why should II" she retorted. ~
was only talkingto one then, and now
L am talking to a full house. Besides,
when | am talking to single gentle
man | never talk loud"
A verdict was given in Mrs. Jacobs
favor all the same.

A knotty problem in awill case, said
to have never been settled, came up
the other day in Seymour, Conn.
John Fl. Tingue died recently in Sey-
mour, leaving personal property Of
100000, besides considerable real
estate, to his heirs, "to be taken,
owned and preserved by them, as if
had died intestate." His heirs were
five brothers and sisters, one of the
latter beings half-sister. The will was
executed in New York, where he had
formerly lived, and if he had died in
testate in that state the half-sister
would have been entitled to an equal
share with the others. But had he
died intestate in Connecticut she would
have had nothing. The question of
how a mans will, executed while a.
citizen of one state, is affected by bis
dying while a citizen Of another state,
is still open to Interpretation. The
matter in this case was settled by the
other heirs sharing equally and volun-
tarily with the half-sister, and so the
question remains undetermined.

Fun for the Audience.
From the st. James Gazette.I


In Edinburgh they are not dependent
on the play or players for amusement
when they go to the theater. If the
piece is wanting in the humorous ele-
ment they add it themselves-which
may be the best way of making sure.
On Monday night "Erminie" was the
entertainment, and there was q
splendid unrehearsed effect. The
marquis in the opera was singing the
song 'All for Glory the Soldier s Life, "
and, like other singers in opera, he had
struck an attitude, "his right hand
being thrown out in front of him."
says an Edinburgh paper, "palm up
wards" The position forcibly re-
minded gallery wag OF street singer
begging for coin, and like the American
student who spoilt Nine. Modjeska's
potion scene in "Romeo and Juliet, :"
by making O. vulgar sound with his
mouth just as she had put the vial to
her lips) he felt impelled to add to the
illusion. So he flung the singer pen
ny. Everyone laughed, and then an
other mite was contributed, and then
more, until the stagemanager had to
expostulate. At representations of
the Legitimate in booths during fair
time this is the recognized method Of
rewarding talent; but it is new to the
stage. Edinburgh, by the way, is I'M
derstood to be very critical and nice
in it's theatrical taste, and what 'sgoes
down" in London does not always
pass muster there. "Erminie. for IN
stance, in the authorized version.

Harris the HumOriSt.

The Chicago Mail tells a remarkable
life story: "Joel G. Harris, the famous
humorist of the Atlanta (Ga.) Consti-
tuition, has had a strangely romantic
career. His father was missionary,
and it was at the small town of Boog-
hal, on the southern coast of Africa,
that Joel was born. He was educated
by his father, and is a profound
Sanscrit scholar, besides being thor
oughly versed in Hebraic and Buddhist
literature. Just before the civil war
he emigrated to America, and taught
school in a village near Lake Teetee-
lootchkee, Fla. There he fell in love
with Sallie 0. Curtis, the daughter Of g.
wealthy planter, and soon was engaged
by Col. Curtis as a private tutor. The
parents made no objection to the
daughters choice of husband, but
the war came on before the marriage
could take place, and so Col. Curtis
and Mr.. Harris went away 80 the war.
The colonel lost all nis property dur
ing the strife, and at the battle OF Col
umbia, S. O., a grapeshot tore his leg
into shreds. When the war closed
Miss Sallie died of yellow fever, and
Mr.. Harris became the support and
comfort of the manned sire of his dead
sweetheart. The two yet live together
in avine-covered cottage near Atlanta.
Mr.. Harris is hardly 40 years of age,
but his snOw-white hair tells the sor-
row of his life. He is noted for his
generosity, his amiability and his ten
derness."

BREAD RIOT.
ssStarving Mechanics In London Meet
and Tarrorize the Police.

"Starving Mechanics'' In London Meet
and Terrorize the Police.
The ''starving mechanics of Lon
don held a mass meeting in Trafalgar
Square, around the Nelson Monument
on the 9th, and it resulted in a riot.
The proceedings we're opened with an
assemblage of 10000 men. Police
were present in large numbers. They
at once saw that the Socialistic ele-
ment of London greatly predominated
in the crowd, which was also managed
by well-known Socialists, and extra
ordinary vigilance was ordered to pre-
serve the peace at all hazards. Con-
spicuous among the leaders OF the
multitude was Mr.. Burns, who ran as
the Socialistic candidate in Noting
ham in the recent election. He sneered
at the police, and acted generally as If
he wished to bring about a conflict be-
tween them and the people. Finally
he assembled the pedestal of the Nelson
column for the purpose Of delivering q
harangue. He was well aware that
this act would not be tolerated, and
the police politely ordered him to get
down. This he refused to do, appeal
ing to the crowd to resist interference
with the exercise of popular rights"
The officers, however, were determined,
and they pushed their way through the
excited and resisting mass of human
ity and by force removed Mr.. Burns
from the PEDESTAL. This was repeated
again, after which Burns finished his
speech, and the rioters paraded the
streets, assaulting the police, smash
ing windows and doing other damage.
The most violent acts were committed
on North and South Audley Streets
and Oxford Street. Probably 200
shops and a dozen club houses were
seriously damaged. About fifty shops
were pillaged, including jewelers.,
bakers, butchers and wine shops.
Hundreds of inoffensive people were
maltreated. The police were power
less at first, but ultimately succeeded
in restoring order by breaking up the
ranks of the rioters into small squads.
The military was kept under arms all
the evening, while the policemen pa
trolled the streets.

Winter in Mexico's Capital
[CitY of Mexico I.etter.l


The January weather is perfection,
the mornings being delightfully."- crisp
and exhilarating. There is a con
slant temptation to "do nothing" but
"loaf and invite ones SOUL" This is
the Italy of our continent, and when
rich Americans find it out their coun-
try houses will be built here for
winter occupancy. The Mexicans
have got the best part of the CONT
nent for climate, but Americans eth
er can't Or don't want to believe it.
January violets sell in little punches
for 81 cents, and tuberoses are being
brought here in odorous punches by
hot land Indians. Mexico is a famous
country for flowers, which are to be
had all the year round in wonderful
profusion and at such cheap prices as
to make an American regard himself
as guilty of robbery not to give more
than is asked

A DASTAKDLY ACT.
Unknown Men Attempt to Hang q Young
Lady at Windsor, Ill.

On the night of the 18th, at Wind
sor, Ill, Miss Georgia Aldridge mar
rowly escaped hanging at the hands of
unknown parties. She was alone in
the house at the time and stepped out
of doors when she was seized, her
hands and feet weighed down with
bricks and she was then hungu to die.
She was accidentally discovered a
few minutes afterwards by her
brother who came in the
back way by chance, when life was al
most extinct. She can give no &C
count of the affair, being SO overcome
by the shock. She can only say "Oh |!
That mani That man." A note was
found saying that it was done to get
even with her father, DIR. Aldridge.
Miss Georgia is g. highly respected
young lady aged "a. No clue to the
perpetrators of the foul deed has yet
been found. Intense excitement pre-
walls at Windsor, and if the guilty
parties are found they will be dealt
with in q summary manner.

Honor Van Ness.

Why doesn't somebody erect mon
ument to the memory of the inventor
of buckwheat cakes? If, as one writer
has said, "the man who hath no pan
cakes on his breakfast table Is fit for
treason, stratagem and cold pota-
toes" certainly the name OF that Van
Ness, of Undertook on the Hudson,
who is supposed to have constructed
the original pancake, should be revered
as one OF the best benefactors OF hui
manity.

What Brought Them There?

Near Astoria, Ore, may be seen de-
post of clam shells which covers an
area of four acres, and in places they
are piled ten feet deep. A thousand
loads taken away seemed to make no
impression on the heap. A clam open
or made of the tooth of a. whale was
recently found among them. Over
these shells there are sixteen inches of
soil, in which fir trees 400 years old
are growing.

Much excitement was caused on the

announcement that Gen. Hancock
