The Louise Home fer hged Southern
Women.

One OF the points Of interest in
this city is the Louise home, which
was founded b. w W Corcoran
and named after his beautiful and
idolized daughter Louise, wife OF
Hon. George Eustis, and who died
in 1867 and now lies buried in
the Doris Temple which enshrines
the cherished dust OF her mother in
Oak Hill Cemetery.
The Louise Home is dedicated
to the use of aged Southern WON
en- OF good family, and is quite IN
like any other charity IN the coun>
try. It's beautiful home, with
no company rules, and the rooms
are arranged to suit the tastes OF
those who occupy them Upon
Mr. Corcoran's birthday a cake is
always sent to the home as token
of remembrance. The daughters
Of Generals, statesmen and ex-
Presidents, are among the guests
who spend their last years in this
beautiful secular cathedral, whic.
is a fine specimen OF gothic arehi
lecture. 1t is situated ona charms
ing terrace overlooking Massaeau>
sets avenue. A portrait in Gil OF
Louise Corcoran hangs in the par>
Tor. 1t represents a slight, hand,
some spirituelle girl, whose sweet
features give no hint Of that insidi-
Gus disease which was 50 soon to
end her life. She died in Paris
and was brought home for burial.
Among MIR. Corcoran's trea.
ures is a poem of which he is very
fond. 1t was written by another
father, who mourned another Lou,
Use, and this is its closing verse:
In the light Of the moon, by the
side Of the water,
wait for her coming from over
the seas,
I wait but to welcome tie dust OF
my daughter,
To weep for my daughter Lou
Use.
The path as of old, reaching out
in its splendor,
Cleans bright like way that al
angel has trod;
I kiss the cold burden its billow;
surrender,
Sweet clay to lie under the pits
iful sod.
But she rests at the end Of hel
path in the city
Whose builder and maker is
God.
Mr.. Corccran has taken a lease
of six pews in one Of the leading
Episcopal churches in this city for
100 years for the benefit of the
Louise Home.

Jurors Moved to Tears,

BALTIMORE GIRL ON TRIAL FOR THROWING
vTrRoL IN THE FACE OF HER BETRAYER
Mary Brophy, bright and attractive girl of
twenty years, was tried in Baltimore on We'd
nesday for throwing vitrol in the face of Harry
Coleman. Not until she went on the stand, and
with tears and means told her story, was it
known that Coleman had betrayed her. While
telling her story the ladies in court and some of
the jurors were moved to tears. Just facing
the girl. while she was giving her testimony
stood the man who had betrayed her. His
face was horribly Scared. The two met in the
winter Of 1881. and, under the promise of mar
riage, Coleman betrayed the girl. the result
being that babe was born in the latter part of
the summer of 1888. Coleman resorted to IL
legal means to destroy the child and was sub
sequently indicted for the attempted crime.
The father of Miss Brophy interceded in his
behalf. and secured nolle pros upon the
promise that he would marry the girl and save
disgrace to the family, but this he failed to do

Suppers Instead of Late Dinners.

From the LONDON WOrld-
The development of luncheons and afternoon
teas suggests to some minds foreshadowing
of a day when o'clock dinners will disappear
altogether from the program of society, and
when the antique supper will be revived among
us; when people will go straight from the park
to the opera or play; when morning dress will
be the fashion in our theaters, and every hour
of summer daylight will be utilized at garden
parties and polo matches, riverside clubs and
suburban race courses, without the perpetual
tyranny of getting home to dress for dinner
Then will wit revive in the cooler air of
night, and supper tables and coteries will be
as brilliant as among the bellies and the
blues of the Walpolean epoch; then will
chicken and champagne after the play be
the rule of society, not the special privilege Of
the dramatic critic; and on the first night of a
new play dozen of the stateliest houses in
London will be open to droppers-in, with en-
tertainment as large and liberal as that which
the Lyceum. Then, too, will the little sup
per-where the guests are in number not more
than the MUSES. or less than the Graces-be
again sweetener of daily life, rest after
labor; the dainty but not too elaborate meal at
a round or oval table, the windows open to the
cool breath Of the night, and the distant
reverberation of wheels in Piccadilly-a
meal in which there should be less of cere-
mony and hunkeydom and greater freedom Of
speech; a meal at which we may destroy half
a dozen regulations as lightly as we shell the
prawns and with not any more i'll nature To
bring back the reign of the midnight supper
we must needs eliminate the o'clock dinner
Who will be the first to make the experiment.?

What Imperial Tours Cost.

From the London Truth.
When the Emperor Nicholas came to Eng
land, about 1s43, he staid week, and his pres
ents OF various kinds to the royal household
and servants cost 100000 The emperor of the
French was nearly as profuse when he was q
guest at Windsor in 1855 People say at
Vienna that the Emperor William put down the
menu at the court dinner without reading it on
finding that it was printed in French, and that
after his breakfast with the imperial family
he requested to be supplied with cafe au Loii.
explaining that cafe NOR does not suit pure
bred Germans.
hear that the emperor's tour in Austria and
Italy Will cost not less than 100000. The
amount which he has to give away to the
servants OF sovereigns whom he visits is some
thing fabulous and the presents of various
kinds cost a frightful sum. The emperor took
with him from Berlin 80 diamond rings. $50
silver stars, 80 scarf pins, all richly jeweled 20
diamond bracelets, splendid presentation
swords, 30 large photographs of himself, with
the empress and their children, all in gold
frames; 30 gold watches, with chains Zone of
these is the correct present to a kitchen func-
tlonary)i 100 cigar cases, with the imperial
arms and monogram in gold, and 20 stars in

The Rights of a Voter.

JUDGE BARRETT DECIDES THAT HE MUST NOT BE
ASKED ABOUT HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEF.
In the application of Eugene NJ Macdonald
of the fourteenth election district of the Twen-
tieth New York assembly district, for manda-
mus to compel the inspectors of election to reg
lister his name as qualified voter, Judge Bar
rett, in the Supreme Court yesterday, declared
that the board must reconvene to register Mac
Donald. The latter lives at 467 East 57th
street. New York, where he has resided the
past fifteen years. When he presented himself
for registration he declined to swear on the
Bible, but said that he was willing to affirm
He refused. however, to take his hand out of
his pocket and hold it up. He also refused to
answer whether he believed in God There
upon the inspectors refused to register his
name.
Judge Barrett, in his decision. SAYS: 1.-THE
inspectors had no right to require the relator to
affirm with uplifted hand, nor was it within
their province to exact a religious test In
deed, every interrogation upon the subject Of
the REALTORS belief in the existence Of Diety
was an impertinsnce to which no citizen in the
absence of any suspicion of his truthfulness
should be subjected to. A mandamus must be
granted"

Saved by His Monkey.
Paris Correspondent London Telegraph.
An instance of the instinct and f;deli

faris correspondent London Telegraph
An instance Of the instinct and fidelity of q
young monkey comes from Batignolles, q
suburb OF Paris. A1ittle boy ESQ says a French
journaD, the son of an inhabitant of that part
OF the city, was playing in one of the rooms Of
his fathers fiat with the monkey, which is
most intelligent and domesticated member Of
its species The boy, in fit of juvenile caprice,
tied the cord Of window blind around his
neck and pretended to hang himself, to the
immense amusement of his Simian playmate,
which grinned and chartered on chair Sud-
denly the boy became ivid, and began to cry,
for the cord had got into real moose around
his neck. In a very short space of time the
monkey took in the situation and tried to undo
the moose with it's paws, but had to give up the
attempt, 1t then hoped away to another
room, where the boys grandmother was sitting,
and began to pull at her gown, to chatter,
grimace and look wistfully toward the door,
At first, thinking that the animal wanted to
bite her, the old lady was frightened, but seeing
that 1t was endeavoring, with might and main,
to drag her toward the door, she rose from her
seat and went piloted by the monkey, to the
room where her grandson was moaning. The
boy was instantly extricated from his perilous
position, though it was some time before he
recovered from his pain and fright. Jocko,
the deliverer, says the French authority for
this strange narrative, received nice little
tablet of chocolate cream for his splendid &C.
ton, and he deserved it.

Trained Hands.
REMARKABLE EVIDENCES OF THEIR PRECISION AND



ACCURACY.
We hear a great deal about the wonderful
precision and accuracy Of machinery in these
days, and of course it is wonderful, saws the
American Analyst, but the degree of accuracy
to which the human hand can be trained is
equally wonderful.
Playing cards are required to be cut with the
sides parallel to each other, because if pack
be trimmed by the machine slightly wider at
one end than the other and they become turned
lend for end" in dealing, the excess in width
OF some cards over others at the end of the
pack will be double the variation in any one
card which would facilitate cheating, a very
minute variation being perceptible.
The men who test these cards for this make
campers OF their finger and thumb, and by
passing them along from one end to the other
detect difference in width between the two
ends which 1t Is difficult to measure by any
other means.
There are men employed in factories where
DRIED yeast is made whose business it is to put
the yeast into packages weighing a certain
amount each. 1t is on table in front of them
IN large plastic mass, and there are the scales
for weighing.
But the men do not use the scales. They

The light shining through them reveals to the
practical eye the exact condition of the contents.
But some OF the men soon get 80 that they do

Equine Dentistry.
ST. LOUIS DOCTOR FILLS THREE TEETH IN THE
MOUTH OF A VALUABLE HORSE.

A ST. LOUIS DOCTOR FILLS THREE TEETH IN THE
MOUTH OF VALUABLE HORSE.
W. E. Murray, DDS, of st. Louis, recently
performed quite interesting operation in
equine dentistry, according to the Republic of
that city. Billy" the patient, a very dark
roam horse, about 1518 hands high, belonging
to DIR. Morrill,, of Washington avenue, has been
suffering from toothache for several weeks.
He has been unable to drink except by press
ing his tongue against his upper teeth so as to
keep the water from touching them, and as
soon as DIR. Murray was called in he saw the
necessity for the filling of the decayed teeth
Examination showed that three of the incisors
were badly decayed, and preparations were
made to NIL them and relieve poor Billy"o his
sufferlngs. The scene was a peculiar and in
teresting one. DIR. Murray had table placed
at the side OF ''Billy's" STALL upon which he
laid out his array of glittering steel in
struments, similar to but somewhat larger
than those used in human dem
tstry. Forceps, excavators, probes, scrapers,
drillers. all were there, and BILLY" glanced at
them with wondering eye, but did not evince
that shaky nervousness with which human
being undergoes the dentists work. Strange
to say, in his dental work ON horses, DIR. Muir
ray, who practiced regular dentistry for four
years before beginning on horses, uses no gag,
twitch speculum or other continuance to secure
the horses head, and states that he can do bet
ter work with the bead entirely free. An at
tendant held BILLY" in his stall simply with
an arm thrown loosely over his shoulder
while DR.. Murray examined his mouth. There
were three teeth to be filled, two of them badly
decayed, and the doctor began on them at
once. "Billys" behavior was a model for hui
man visitors to dental establishments and he
showed degree of fortitude and nerve not
often met with.
DIR. Murray dug and cut and ''excavated'
large hunks of decayed matter from his teeth
and Billy stood without movement, his intel
hgent eye following the doctors work as though
he fully appreciated it. Only once, when the
nerve of the worst tooth was touched, BILLY"
quivered and drew back, but stood firm again
and let the doctor finish the filling. The teeth
were all decayed from the bottom upward, and
the cavities were something fearful to contem-
plate.
The amalgam which was driven up and ham,
mered into them would have filed the teeth of
a dozen men, and BILLY" with napkin tied
about his mouth and brought over his nose,
seemed to appreciate the extent of the work. as
he occasionally glanced at DIR. Murray with a
look OF calm appreciation which was very en-
couraging. The work was finished in about an
hour, and "Billy" was led away considerably
improved as to teeth, and having behaved in
the most courageous manner.

A Human Hair Market

Some interesting facts are told by London
correspondent about a human hair market
which Is held every fortnight at Morlans in
the Pyrennes. Hair dealers flock thither from
all parts OF the continent to buy the hair of the
peasant girls, who get from to 20 francs by
the sale of their locks. The most valuable
coiors are pure white and virgin gold, the former
being worth nearly 500 francs an ounce. while
1t is said that the Empress Eugene once gave
1000 francs an ounce for braid of golden hair
that exactly matched her own. Let ladies who
are possessed of this lovely hair of the color ~
ripe corn" be careful of it; they will find IL
difficult to repair the ravages of time. for. we
are told, there are orders for all the golden
HAIR that can be found for five years to come.
IL is also interesting to know that ladies pos
miles of it on their heads. No wonder that
they sometimes suffer from headache from the
weight of their tresses WIZ

Is Marriage q Failure.

HOW COUPLE OF DUSTY AND DUsKY LOVERS
HAD THE KNOT TIED.
From the Leary (Ga., Courier.
Capt Boyd's store, last Tuesday morning,
was the scene Of sudden blooming of orange
blossoms for pair Of young, dusty, and dusky
lovers. Wiley had long been suing for the
hand and heart Of Alma Stevens. He had won
her heart, but parental opposition stood in the
way Of elimination of his fondest hopes. In
the face of the protest of Almas father, Joe
Stevens, Wiley continued his attentions until
last Monday, when the enraged father fell upon
him and smote him hip and thigh. Wiley and
his mother, Josephine, came to town next day
to get warrant for Joe. Joe and the girl also
came along to ''see 'em out" The party col
lected at Boyds store and made known their
trouble to the captain, who grasped the situa-
ton at once, and convinced them that a mar
riage certificate was the remedy for their
trouble. The boy, however, held back, from
the fact that he was out of ready cash and was
not properly attired, being barefooted and in
his shirt sleeves.
''Oh, I'll sell you pair Of shoes, loan you
coat, and give you the money to buy the
license" said Capt. Boyd.
''All right" said the boy, and DIR. George
was called in, and Mr.. Bunch, who was author
ity from the ordinary to issue marriage licen-
SEES, filed blank and handed it to DIR. George,
who, stepping forward, said
Spit in your right hands and Join them"
1uey spdt anu cIaspeu nuuus.
"Do you, Wiley George, take Alma Stevens
for your wife?"
'Yer er right boss" said Wiley.
'Do you, Alma Stevens, take Wiley George
for your husband?'
"Yes, sir" replied the modest girl
"Does anybody object to the completion of
these bans?" said the doctor. No one objected.
Then he continued: by the authority vested
in me officer of the great state of Georgia,
which is sometimes called the Empire State of
the South, by the fields of cotton that lie
spread out in snowy wilderness around u.s. by

ence of these witnesses pronounce> fou man

At the conclusion of the impressive cere-
mony an evident feeling of relief stole over
the couple. They received the congratulations
of the onlookers after which they took their
departure for Holt Place, where they held a
reception in the middle of a 10O-acre cotton

So Frightened He Couldn't Read.

From the Norwich Bulletin.
A Preston young man who went before the
board of registration of that town on Monday
to be made a voter, and who swore he was 21
years Of age, was denied the privilege of quail
flying until he presented an affidavit from his
mother stating his age, although he had shown
the board the record of his birth in the family
Bible-September, 1866. He procured the aft
davit, and was allowed to qualify, but he was
so excited that he could not read, and although
given three opportunities by the board. failed
to meet the requirements of the law each time
and was rejected. Those who knew the Young
man say that he can read, but was simply in a
state Of excitement similar to that known as
''stage-fright"
