TAR AND FEATHERS. A Brutal Husband and Faseina . ti n s Widow Candidates fer a Coat.

PORTLAND, Me, April For some time past Captain William H. Bartol, of Long Island, has been remiss in his duties to his family, spending much of his time in the company of a handsome widow, Mrs. Wal lace, whose husband was drowned last sum- mer Monday six citizens of Long Island reported to Superintendent of the Poor Baker that Mrs. Bartol was starving. Sup plies were at once sent her. Wednesday Bartol came home, told his wife that he was going to apply for divorce, demanded that she give him deed of the house and becom- ing infuriated at her reproaches assaulted her in a brutal manner, hit her in the mouth, knocking her down, kicked her as she lay prostrate and threatened her life. He kicked her again and again, tearing a hole in her side, and left her insensible. The woman is reported to be dying. Threats of lynching are heard. It is expected that both Bartol and Mrs. Wallace will be tarred and feathered tonight. Officers have gone to Long Island to arrest Bartol

Lord RoseBery a Primrose.

London Letter to San Francisco Argonaut.
 Then the idea of racing bankrupt of but few years ago being made Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; for that was vir- tually the financial and social condition of the Earl of Rosebery in 1877, when he paid up his turf debts by Q marriage with Miss Rothchild. Apropos of Lord Rosebery, l have been told-with what truth I am una ble to say-that he once behaved in most dishonorable way to Miss Duncan, of New York. He had gone out heiress- hunting with 8 coronet for sale to. American papas, and had become engaged to Miss Dun can, whose father was one of the solid men of an Eldorado in the West; as much in the Arctic explorers who would force a way through eternal frost as in the Knights of the Holy Grail; as much in the 10th century as in the 18th, in Garibaldi and Gordon as in Godfrey and Tancred.
 The romantic schools of German and Eng lish literature were transient phases already outgrown; but the principle of romanticism in literature is immortal-it is the spirit as serting itself through the form. Classicism gives us perfection of form, romanticism fullness of spirit. Both are essential, seldom found united, but both must combine to con stitute masterpiece of literary art.

Half the stream ran down Mechanic street, carrying huge cakes of ice. Nearly all the houses in that section are flooded and unin- habitable. The sash and blind works of Nicholas Wilson were carried away and are a totallo The Stewart House, a small ho- tel, was flooded, but the guests and occu- pants were rescued from the second stories by means of ladders and boats. Patrick Clark and E. w. Wyman were capsized while in a boat and narrowly escaped being drowned.

Playing a Trick on MT. Wilkins.


 Dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal.l
 There are number of members in the House who are passionately fond of match ing coins. Among this number is Represen- tatiye Wilkins, of Ohio He is remarkably lucky, too; indeed, so lucky that many are afraid to try their luck with him. However, the other day two members put up job on him. They agreed to match with him and each to hold ''head" or a ''tail' at every match. That is, both to endeavor so that one would always match him and then to divide their winnings. The first member approached Mr. Wilkins and asked him if he wanted to match him for quarter. That's too small, :" replied MT. Wilkins. 'tI'll match you for 8 dollar" Just then the second conspirator ap- preached and he too asked to join in, as three made it livelier. They matched and Wilkins lost. Five times the scheme worked. t'Now I match you for five dollars,'' said Mr Wilkins; 'tI lose all or get even.' They matched. He lost again.
 ''Try for ten dollars" he said. They matched Wilkins lost again.
 s'Twenty dollars" cried Wilkins. He lost again.
 "Try forty dollars" said one of the con- spirators.
 :sNo," said Wilkins, ''but I'm going to see if really have lost my luck" He lushed into the lobby and the first per son he met was friend who was stock broker. "You buy me one hundred shares of Erie" he exclaimed. Wilkins had not lost his luck, for he cleared one hundred and fifty dollars off the stock above the money he lost matching. The conspirators now don't know whether to refund the money they won or invite Wilkins to wine supper.
