Summing.

The coinage of the new word "slum-
ming' is call to thoughtful women to
stop and consider. PhiIanthropists are
charged with taking up charitable work
as fashionable fad, and making an On
slaught upon institutions and E'SIums"
for no higher motive than that which
called out devotees of roller skates, pro-
gressive euchre and donkey parties"
But is this true? Admit that there are
more charities than ever before; admit
there are more society women inter-

ago; admit that modern esthetfcism
now enters into the building of asylums.

said that is not to the praise Of philan-

Can we not trace this result to the

of the painful labor problem; to the

not only themselves need caring for, but

DONE BY WHITE CAPS,
They Wreak Vengeance On Man
Who Offended Them.

Who Offended Them.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 5.-The
Journals Evansville correspondent in
forms that paper that report has
reached that city of most dastardly
outrage by White Caps committed Friday
night near Marango. Crawford county. In
that locality reside Thomas Williams
and wife, who were subjected last year
to great indignities, it is said, at the
hands of the White Caps. AT the time
among his aSSailantS prominent young
man, Thomas Courtney, son of one of
the leading physicians of the county.
He immediately sought the
arrest OF young Courtney,
who, fearing trouble, left for
parts unknown. Nothing further was
heard OF the young man until recently,
when he was located at Fort Scott, Kan,
and arrested, and, under a requisition
from Gov. Gray he is now being
brought back. This news enraged the
young mans friends and they wreaked
vengeance on Williams. The reports
say that they went to his house Friday
night and. being refused admittance,
broke down the door. Williams
fired into the crowd, wounding
Il couple of men. The mob
then tied Mrs. Williams to a bed and
took her husband into the yard and tied
him to tree. Upon Williams refusal
to make storm statement generating
young Courtney of future charges, they
logged him until he became unconscious
and then left. Their victim was later
found in dying condition. The cir
cumStanceS are said to have
aroused the entire section of
country, where. very strong feeling
has sprung up against the repeated out

A VALUABLE MAIDSTONE.
Its Owner, an Iowa Man, Has Made
Fortune by Renting 1t Out.


One of the most celebrated madstones
in this part of the world is that belong
ing to Turner Evans, of Paris, Linn
county, this state. This valuable little
stone was formerly owned by gentle
man i'll Virginia, where it is said to have
effected wonderful cures during the
past $50 years, says the Des Moines
Leader. 1t has been in the hands of the
present owner for over thirty wears.
During this time it has beer tested sew
eral times, and has always given entire
satisfaction, never failing to effect
cure. The word ''cure" is perhaps not
the word to use in this connection. for
if am rightfully informed, it is always
made point to use the stone as a pre-
ventive of hydrophobia before the
actual appearance Of the rabies. Dur
has been tried on not less than $50
persons, and as Mr.. Evans charges $40
for trial and $50 if it sticks fast
to the wound, which it is said to do if
there is hydrOphobfc poison in the
system, his income from this source
must be considerable. In 1880 a gentle
man with whom the writer was very
well acquainted, was bitten by dog
thought to be suffering from hydropho-
bia. l refer to d. G. McGillen, who
j formerly worked in a harness shop in

/ arrived at Cedar Rapids the same night,
was hurried into carriage and was
taken to the maidstone man" as soon
as possible. After his return he gave
thelwriter most of the facts which have

that as soon as he arrived Mr.. Evans
scratched his arm with pin Che had
been bitten in the hand) and applied the
stone. Before this, as sort of prologue,
MIR. Evans had informed his patient
that if the hydrophobic germ was in his
system the stone would hold fast to the
spot which he had scarifed; but if he
had not been inoculated with the fatal
poison it would not stick. In this case
my informant said lit stuck like a
lcech," and that when removed it was
full OF greenfSh fluid that looked like
Scnm on pond in August" This, the
operator said, was the poison virus
which had been taken from the system.
When the stone had been soaked for a
few minutes in bath composed of
about one part milk and three of water
it was again applied. This operation
was repeated for about seven hours,
after which the stone would not adj
here, and the operator pronounced the
patient out of danger. McGiIlem de-
scribed the stone as whiteisl1, spongy-
looking little thing. not larger than
hlbert, cone-shaped and full of fine
pores. A Mi. Bunee, of Mechanics
vile, this state, had the stone applied
something like roo times before all the
poison was drawn from the system, the
time consumed for these operations be-
ing something ike twenty-three hours.

ALL WILL BE PLEASANT.

Dunlap Says He Will Attend to
His Duties and No Fear of
Trouble.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Fred Dunlap, the second baSeman,
writes very sensible letter to Manager
Phillips. III speaking of the intimation
contained in a Philadelphia paper, that
he and Phillips would be at loggerheads,
he says: I'VE have always been good
friends, and no doubt we shall continue
so. There will certainly be no desire
on my part to interfere with you in any
possible way. ! propose to simply at
tend TO the work and duties for which
was employed, to the best of my abil-
ity."
In speaking OF the arrangement of the
batting order, Dunlap said that the Or
derS of the manger should always be
carried out, and that so far as the con-
duct of matters on the field was COLI
cerned lie would do his best to carry out
the instruction of the management.
The great second basemen expressed
much concern regarding the differences
between Calvin, Miller and Carroll, and
hoped that everything would be settled
to the mutual satisfaction of all parties
concerned. He was sorry that some
newspaper writer had connected him
with the matter as being the cause of the
dissatisfaction. He sincerely deplored
that such foolish report could be pro-
mulgated. He was like any other
player, working for salary; and, like
any other, would work for all the money
he could get.
You cannot" he concluded, "get
good ball PLAYING out of dissatisfied
men, and it is for this reason | hone
that all will be satisfactory when the
season opens. SO far as the newspaper
talk of likelihood OF trouble between
us, pay 10 attention whatever to it."

THE SKATER.

The sheen and the sound are silver
The sheen and the sound of her skate,
And spangie the ice that is mirror
OF her foot and its fond little mate.
The trill of the wind in her tresses
Is like sigh of the sea in she'll
And faint, faultless music impresses
The delight of her coming to tell.
The wings of bird are about her,
The flight of bird and it's grace,
And two purest blue birds are flying
By me in the realm of her face
The spirit of summer, the guerdon
She bestows with the breath of her mouth.
AS a bloom of the beautiful woodbine
Brings fragrance and hints of the South.
The prints Of her skates or the reaches
Have faded in sunshine away
The prints of her skates on my fancy
Are carven more surely than they;
And since with no smile She will melt them,
They demand as tribute of ME
a sigh for The fairest of skaters
And song for Il sweet memory.

AIILLER'S FEAT
or Climbing Out of an Upper
Berth in a Pullman Sleeper.

Berth in a Pullman Sleeper.
Pitlsburg Dispatch.
\ good joke was told yesterday on
George Miller. He and Calvin were
with the PittSburg team on trip to St.
Louis. Miller selected an upper berth
i'll the sleeper, and supposed that Gal
vim occupied the lower one of the same
section. He got up early in the morn
ing. and in crawling out OF his elevated
bed landed with one of his bare feet fiat
across the face and nose of a sleeper
who was not Calvin.
There was TumpuS, some tall Ian
guage and rapid rubbing of nose and
face with cologne OH the part of the
startled occupant of the lower berth.
After swearing. gaSping and rubbing
for some seconds. he gained his COM

In the course of events, Calvin arose
from his comfortable berth across the
aisle. After dressing and indulging in
an invig0rating bath, he began to look
around for Miller. He was told that
that gentleman had been up an hour or
two; but he could not be found in the
sleeper. Jimmie now became alarmed
and searched the train. He found his

GEIGER'S STRONG LEFT
Sends Otto johnson to Grass in
Milwaukee,

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 5.-Otto Johnson
and John Geiger, two one armed slug
gers, fought three rattling rounds with
small gloves in the opera house hall
early this morning. Johnson, who is an
alleged song-and-dance man, as we'll as
fighter, was all but knocked out. The
men had only their left arms to fight
with, but they used them after fashion
that would put many so-called fighters
who have two arms to shame. They
smashed each other all over the stage,
and there were four clean kn0ck-downS
in the three rounds. Their best tactics
were shown in lodging the swinging
blows they aimed at each others head,
but, after the first round, they were
unable to do this with any degree or
accuracy, and hence both were pretty
badly punished. Just as the referee
was about to call time TO end the third
round, Geigher swiped johnson in the
ear and sent him spinning toward the
footlights as if he were working On a
pivot. The blow was a settler, and
Johnson couldn't respond to the call of
time for the fourth round. Geigher was
awarded the fight, the stakes and the
gate receipts, amounting altogether to
about S20G.

RuPgfar-PrOOf Safes.

\ ew 1orK Press.
The many daring safe robberies CON-
mitted recently have given rise to the
question, Does the Safemakers' pro-
lection protect?
Manager Wooley, of the Hall Safe
company, said:
rs there such thing as burglar
proof safe?"
Certainly there is.''
"And still we hear of so many burg
lar-prOof safes being robbed"
mo, sir! Not burglar-prOOf safes. /
have never heard of burgIar-proof safe
being robbed. The general impression
is that all safes are burglar-proOf, which
is not so, the safes opened by burglars
are generally silk safes. The main OBJ
ject of those using these safes is. that in
case of fire, the advantage is recognized
by the fire underwriters. who have Stip-
ulated that goods thus protected shall
receive the benefit of p per cent reduc-
ton from the regular rates.
'What, then is burglar-proof safe?'
IA burglar-proof sale is one which is
made with alternate plates of welded
steel and iron. from one to FIVE inches
thick, or more, according to the size of
the safe. The bolts are also much
heavier, and the connection to the locks
different; besides, the relative cost be-
ing as one to twenty. In other words.
while silk safe costs S100, burglar
proof safe of the same size would cost
s.. OO0."
rs it possible that a burglar-proof
safe can be broken open in the time and
with the facilities which burglars may
employee
IF the best material and construction
are employed, together with the best
known modern improvements. it is
absolutely impossible to do il. To my
knowledge no one of our burg!ar-proof
safes has ever been robbed"
Are burglar-proof safes also fire
pro0f?'
"A burglar-proof safe is not neces-
sar:ly fire-pfoof, as they are generally
placed inside OF a fire. proof vault. Bat
there are safes which are both burglar
and tire-proef.'
The manager of Herring & Co.'S said:
We'll, yes. there is such thing as a
burglar-pfaOf safe, hat only for a limited
length OF time. We have safes which
are burglar proof for one day. Then,
again, we have safes which are burglar
proof for week, two weeks. three
weeks and month-that is, it will take
burglars that length of time to break
them open. But there is no such thing
as an absolutely burglar proof safe.
Whatever man makes man can de-
Stfoy.

Safe company, said:

But | could not in justice have made

McCaffrey manfully admitted that he
had been fairly bested by Dempsey, and
SAID that Jack was far and away the
cleverest man he had ever met. He con-
unn2d: Il have only 5000 to my name
IN the world, but I'd back Dempsey
with every dollar of it against any man
of his weight in the world" This caused
considerable talk, whereupon Dunn
said:
Il know man, one of the most prom
lnent turf men of America, who will
blck Dempsey for 10000 against any
man in the world and give him fifteen
pounds in weight"
There was a good deal of talk among
sporting brokers about backing Jack
against Sullivan.
