Rag
Paris Letter.

Paris Letter.
There are in Paris over $4,000 people
who make their living out of rag gath
ering and burrowing in the ash bins of
the city, and many more who are de-
pendent indirectly on thi rag industry.
Unlike their professional brethren in
London, they have not taken to rag
gathering as necessity when every
thing else had failed. They are organ
lied and knit together like any
cooperative industrial society, and
are divided into two great
classes of wOrkers-diurnal and nOctur-
nal. The nocturnal breed begin to ply
their work about II o'clock. They may
be seen going from street to street carry
ing huge basket OH their back and
with lantern in one hand and an iron
hook called crochet in the other. They
walk smartly along the gutter, looking
keenly about their feet and now and
then pick up something with the
crochet and pitch it into the
hottie OF basket. They stop at every
duStbox, and after ranSacking it to their
hearts content proceed on to the next.
The weaker and younger members of
the fraternity work at home. The rag
gathererS have regular beats on the
streets. When chiffonier wishes to
retire he sells the good will of his bust
ness to his successor before he gives up
his medal. Every master chiffOnier has
certain number of pickerS attached to
him. He pays them by piece work

JUVENILE LIGHTNING-RODS.
Buffalo Small Boys StartIe Sweet
hearts and Revelers.

The small boy has discovered a new
scheme for fun. At the southeast cor
ner of Michigan and Eagle streets the
paddock which holds the lowering wire
of the electric lights in place is quite
thoroughly charged with fo1ked light
ming. says the Buffalo Commercial Ad-
vertiser, and is not over five feet above
the ground. Two or three boys strike
an attitude near the pole on the corner.
each holding the hand of the next boy.
When a pedestrian comes along a sig
nal is made, and the boy nearest the
paddock touches it and at the same time
the last boy touches the hand ofthe pas
Ser-by. The shock passes through each
one, and the surprised tourist feels hun
dred needles pricking his hand. Some
times the trick is played Oh beau upon
whose arm leans his best girl, and they
feel the thrill of something more realiS-
tic than Cupid's darts.
Practical jokes are often played with
the innocent looking paddock by one
party daring another to touch it. Oc-
casiOnally fellow having taken drop
too much of cold tea SteadieS his weary
frame against the pole and receives some
points on temperance by touching the
paddock wire. If person should form
complete circuit by touching both
hands to this battery he might never
know what allied him. The electric
light company, recognizing the danger,
has placed sign on the pole, warning
people not to touch the wire or paddock,
but small boy is something like ne
ceSSity-he knows no law.
If he cannot do anything else he will
drive nail in long stick and have a
little Fourth of July by seeing the sparks
and lightning fly.

CROWDS TO SEE MORRIS.
The Grand Crowded to It's Fill
Amusement Notes.

The Grand Crowded to It's Fill
Amusement Notes.
A large and fashionable audience
completely filled the Grand opera last
night, the occasion being the presenta-
ton OF 'L'Article 47'' by Clara Morris, a
criticism of which appeared in the
GLOBE during the st. Paul engage
ment.
The sale of seats for "Around the
World in Eighty Days" opened yester-
day at the Grand box office. Said
Junius Howe, the agent, 1--WE jump here
from Los Angeles, coming by special
train. AS we get in the city in the
morning, we have plenty of time to get
all our scenery and mechanical effects
in place for the evening performance.
Our assistant stage manager has arrived
and is now rehearsing the young girls and
children for supernumerary positions
in the pageant. l must say that Mime
apOliS turns out the incest looking lot of
girls and children L have seen in years.
It's very hard to get nice-shaped and APP
pearing girls for these spectacular
shows. We have had lots of trouble
carrying our elephant 'Parnell,' who is
used in the pageants. 'Parnell,' at
first, objected to travelling alone. He
nau Deen IN company WITH Otner DrOtner
elephants and was lonely; but he has
been consoled now and then with apples
etc. 'Parnell' is one of the boys,
and likes to get around. We will par
ade him if the weather isn't too cold"
We give a great cast with this produc-
ton, and will also present here for the
first time the most beautiful premier
you ever saw, "Antonella, Bella"
BENJAMIN Stern. ESQ.,. the agent, is in
the city heralding that spectacular
pantOmine "FantaSma."
The last chance to see the best dra-
matte performance ever given in the
city at popular prices will be at the mat
inee and evening performance to-day of
the "Octoroon," at the Peoples theater.
This is model popular-priced produc-
ton, and greatly eXcels many per-
Torrance that has been seen in the city
for higher prices, and has been greeted
with crowded houses throughout the
week. The matinee prices will be as
usual, and the usual Saturday crowds

Mexican Beauties.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
AS is the case with the sex in all
tropical countries, Mexican womanhood
comes early. AT the age of twelve the
senorita is very knowing. At fourteen
she is mature. At sixteen she is ready
to take up the duties of married life.
At twenty she begins to be too plump.
AT twenty-five she feels the need of art
to assist nature. At thirty she has
ceased to be interesting for her beauty.
Too much flesh, with consequent coarse
ness. is the usual trouble. An anti-fat
remedy ought to have a great run in
the land of the cactus.
Maya, of the Portal de Mercaderes, is
the leading photographer of the City of
Mexico. He has an artistic eye as well
as mechanical skill, and he is an Oblig-
ing fellow. When it was explained to
him that small collection of. types of
Mexican beauty was desired, he smiled
and said he would have to think about
it. Call again Tomorrow" Some
thing like week of tO-morrOws went
by before Maya said "All right.' But
then he coupled his acquiescence with
a conditioning Names"
The terms were accepted, and from
his large stock of negatives were Sc
lected the types of Mexican glrlhood
and womanhood. They included
representatives of the best families at
the Mexican capital. There are SEN
oritas three, from twelve to eighteen,
and there are senoras three-two of
them are still in their twenties, dark,
flashing eyes, full Tipped, and already
inclining to the bane of the sex i'm their
cOuntry-too much weight. The last is
older and fairer than all the others, and
the complexion and features together
show proportion of ..Castilian blood in
this case far above the average.

''Well, we walked along until we

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The American Paint and Oil Works
Destroyed By an Explosion.
SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.
Two Men Injured by Delayed Blast
Fatal Powc, IL Explosion.
Steamer Sunk.

CLEVELAND, o.. Feb. 3.-An explo-
sion occurred in the works of the Amer
lean Paint and Oil company on River
street in this city about o'clock this
morning, and in a moment the building
was enveloped in flames. The work
men jumped through the windows, from
which the sashes had been blown, to
save their lives, and the prOprietOrs. E..
Cohen and F. q. Mcdowell, had only
time to escape from the Office with their
lives. Policeman William Harrison saw
smoke in the building, and had just
opened the door to investigate when the
explosion took place. Harrison was
thrown across the street. He was Sc
verely burned about the face and hands,
and may lose his eyesight. The loss on
the machinery and stock is placed at
$4,000; insured for $500. The build
ing is insured for 5000, and the loss
estimated at 100000. The plant was
totally destroyed by the flames in less
than an hour.

EARLY FRONTIER JUSTICE.
Taking a Prisoners Bond for His
Appearance to Be Hanged.


There has always been good deal of
lawlessness on Red river in Texas and
the Indian territory, as it afforded
ready means of escape to the opposite
side from that OF which the crime was
committed, and has been a favorite
resort for that class of men who are
by nature reckless and desperate.
says a Fort Worth correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe-Demecrat.
The Chickasaw country, just north
of Montague county, has had it's full
share of this class of people, and the lit
tie towns on the river in Montague
county have been the scene of many
desperate and bloody deeds. Soon after
the establishment Of the town of Burl-
ingtOn, one of its citizens was appointed
justice of the peace. His appointment
was made more on account of his per-
sOnal bravery than his familiarity with
law, as the following account will show:
One of the cowboys of the neighbor-
hood had occasion to cross the river
into the territory for the purpose of
securing some stock that had strayed
over there from the ranch on the Texas
side, and had been extending his search
much beyond what he had expected,
without finding the stock, when all at
once he came upon party with the
strayed cattle in his possession. He de-
manded the cattle, and received in reply
a shot from the thief, who was a mem
Der of gang that were raiding that
country. The cowboy replied in the
same language, and his man dropped
from his horse as if killed. He did not
waste time in getting the cattle, but at
once returned to Burlington, knowing
if the other members of the gang found
him on that side of the river they would
make short work of him, being alone as
he was.
On reaching Burlington he related his
experience, and the justice of the peace
at once assumed the responsibilities of
his office, had the constable take the
cowboy in charge, and summon jury
to try him for killing the man in the
Indian territory.
The trial was very simple affair, as
the justice announced that the cowboy
had by his own confession said that he
had killed the man, and as that was
murder, the only thing to do was to find
him guilty, which the jury did prompt
ly, and the justice prepared to pass the
sentence of death upon him.
By this time the cowboy saw that
matters were getting serious, and he
told the court that he believed no man
could be tried for murder without the
grand jury having first investigated the
matter.
YES" said the justice, ''that is so, l
recken, as the last term of the 'distric6'
court was there and was a member of
the grand jury, and they did have cases
like that before them; but when | got
my appointment they told me was to
try all the 'fellers' that broke the law,
and I'm gwine to do it or bust.
and l reckon YOU will have to
take the medicine we give you.
But as we amt got no lawbOoks
here, and you might be right, I'll jest
set the day for the hanging after the
meeting of the 'deestrick' court, and Ell

WOULD LIKE A MATCH.

A Reasonable Request From Con-
8 Iey's Manager---CIow Has the
Floor.
Special to the Globe
ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 3.-Said J. d.
Hayes, Mike COnley's manager, this
evening in answer to CLOVIS statement
in the GLOBE to-day: I'VE would like
to make match with Glow. He is the
challenging party, and consequently we
do not think it would be proper to go to
Duluth to arrange a match with him.
Neither do we know Mr.. Anderson, with
whom it is alleged forfeit has been de-
posted. Our objection to him should
not be misunderstood. He is unGoubt-
eddy reliable party, yet we do not see
how they can refuse to meet us at the
GLOBE Office to make arrangements and
mutually agree on final stakeholder.
Whenever the GLOBE notifies us that
the deposit has been made. we will be
pleased to meet Glow and arrange de-
tails. We have already made too many
fruitleSS trips to answer challenges
from which nothing resulted. Conley
is ready to fight any man in America
for gate receipts or stakes if Glow does
not come to time ~

they don't interfere you kin Jest hand

they don't interfere you kin Jest hand
in your checks then"
This proposition was agreed to by the
cowboy, and the next question was his
safe keeping until court time, which
was some few weeks off.
The justice said it would not do to
send him to Jail, as Montague county at
that time had no Jail, and would have to
board him In the Jail of another county
and that was more expense than the
man supposed to be murdered was
worth.
The cowboy said he had heard that
men gave bond for their appearance,
and 1t was agreed to take the cowboys
bond for his appearance to be hanged!
But now came the tug of war. The
justice did not know any more about
writing an appearance bond than a hog
does about heaven. About this time a
stOckman rode up and the justice called
erO was OF the old type, and knew noth.s
ing about bonds, further than giving
his note when he wanted to borrow
money, and acknowledged his ignorance
on the subject.
The Justice, however, was not to be
Outdone, and as it was question OF eXs
penSe to the country or taking the cow
boys note, he did not hesitate, but got
pen, ink and paper and then and there
had the stOckman write out an ordinary
promise to pay, due on the date OfIexe7
cutlon, with the understanding if the
grand jury did not dispose of the case
fhe money was to be due and payable if
the cowboy did not appear to be hanged
at the proper time.
The note was signed by the cowboy,
and then the judge had the stockman
sign it as security, and the young muir
derer % was let out on bail.
A short time afterwards it was
learned that the man whom the cowboy
was supposed to have murdered had re-
covered, and the grand jury of Mon
tague having no jurisdiction in the ter
rltory, nothing more came of it. But
this was the first case tried by the Bur
linGtOn iuStice of the neace
