One ''actress" achieves fame by marrying

that she never married the man she has
lived with for ten years, pronounceS her
two children Legitimate. and goes through
the ceremony of marriage with wifebeater
who is paying alimony to previous part
ner OF his joys and sorrows. and now they
are living in the same house. A truce to
such filth. If we must have the scandals
and it is quite evident that sensationalism
and the lives OF certain women of the stage
are inevitable-let them concern people of
more eminence and position. Miss For
teScue is notorious because an earl did love
her, and Mile. Feghine became famous be-
cause duke didn't love her. Miss East
lake has made reputation among painters,
and Miss Terry. despite having been mar
ried four times. has pushed the darker side
of her life out of sight and kept herself in
the public eye by an endless variety of
amusing and proper little tricks and devices.
This is a plea, not for Sensationalism. but
for more presentable stuff than is almost
daily dished up to us. AS long as nOtOriety
pays it will be manufactured in one way or
another to supply the demand. The pretty,
graceful and Intelligent chorus girls of the
Casino receive S14 week; Victoria Schill-
ing, awkward. self-cOnscious, ungainly and
with no stage ability at all, was paid $50

Grant & Ward victim.

washington CflIlC-
Among the victims of Ferdinand Ward,
who formerly did business in New York as
a partner of Gen. Grant, was Thomas B.
Medary, relative of the Grant family
and man well and favOrably known in
this city. Mr.. Medary was civil engineer
by profession, and held several paying con-
tracts for the survey of Indian lands under
the government. Two years ago he had
amaSSed comfortable sum, agregating
twenty thousand odd dollars. 1t was then
that Grant u Ward were doing apparently
prosperous business. Mr.. Medary was
induced to place his little fortune in the
hands OF the thriving firm, and at the end
OF the first four weeks realized what he
supposed and what was rendered to him as
a handsome dividend, which was nothing
more or less than the refunding to him of a
portion OF the amount which he had en-
trusted to them. The failure of the firm
followed, but even then and despite all
diScOuraging reports as to what the wreck
would realize. poor Tom Medary kept up
his faith in his friend, Fred Grant, to re-
fund to him his all as preferred creditor
But such never came to pass, and Tom Me-
dairy died at the National hotel in this city,
broken hearted and broken in pocket. He
left widow to mourn his loss, kind,
generous and Intelligent little lady for
whom friends afterward provided. 1t has
beeh rumOred that when he died, Gen.
Grant provided for the refunding to the
widow of what her good husband
had lost through the inducements
of the Grants. The statement is not cor
rObOrated. but it would be but fitting pro-
vision i'll the case above all others if it
were so. The Grant family could now
well afford to give to this little lady what
is owing her, and she wonld be relieved
from earning her own livelihood, as she is
doing at present.

Cuban Women.

In the physical beauty OF the Cuban
woman the commanding features are the
foot, whose daintineSs and symmetry are
marvellous; the supple, willowy grace of
movement of person; the eXQuisitly mod
eled form. and the eyes, which never lose
their luSter and glow.
Cuban women wear shoes no larger than
the No. 1 size for women in the states.
Nor is this diminutive size the result of any
plnching process. She is born that way.
She is the most graceful woman on her
feet, in walk and carriage. in the promen-
ade, or in the dance, you ever saw.
Of her form, it is perfection. Nine
women out of ten you meet are models OF
symmetry. There is a greater delicacy in
line and proportion. They do not so tor
ture their persons or themselves.
The Cuban woman's face may be said to
be wholly interesting and lovely rather
than wholly beautiful. Its beauty is IN its
expression rather than in repose. This
face is of the Latin mold. oval, and with
a delicate protruding of pretty and
shapely chin. Her complexion is warm,
creamy, with no carnatiOn in her cheeks.
But her mouth-large, mobile, tremu-
lous, with just suggestion of pathos in
the slight drawing down at the corners
has lips so red and ripe that her ever per-
feet teeth dazzle in brilliant contrast Her
hair is of that lead black darkness which
suggests weird, soft mist upon the night.
and is indeed glory ever.
But her eyes are her priceless, browning
loveliness, her never-ending power and
charm. They cannot be described. When
you say that behind their long, dark. half
hiding lasheS they are large, dark, dreamy,
yet glowing. flashing with fire. liquid with
languor, you have only limited their mex
pressible expressiveness. They are the
same eyes at 9, 10 and at go.

GIoomy Winter Ahead for Poor
Tenants of GrasPing Landlords
DUBLIN, Sept 2S.-Mr. Timothy Far
rington announced at the fornightly meet
ing of the Irish National league to-day that
since the last meeting SIS. 900 in donations
had been received by him as treasurer. He
added that an enormous increase IN evlc-
tions throughout Ireland must now be eX-
pected. and said the league would devote
all the donations received to the work OF
relieving persons evIcted. John Dillon said
peace in ireland now depended OH the &C
ton of the landlords. Two thousand faml-
lies were now under notice Of eviction.
Winter was coming. and already it was
imperative that the Irish people should COM
bine to help one another to resist, within
the law, the attempted tyranny of the land
lords, final victory being certain if this re-
siStance was maintained.
, The Ulster Constitutional club. which
Lord Iddesleigh opened with great flourish
of trumpets on his famous visit to Belfast

to wind up its affairs.
Joseph E. Kenny, NJ. P. for Cork. said
the tenants would fight with their backs to
the wall against the threatened executions.
Mr.. Harrington appealed to the branches
of the league to subscribe literally to the
fund for evicted tenants. Mr.. Dillon de-
clared that the commission of inquiry was
a fraud and impoSture, and that nobody
would believe in its honesty and impair
