at her Best.

Those who are best acquainted with
the Presidents wife, and see most Of
her domestic life, are her most enthusi-
astic admirers. At a late supper she is
always seen at her best. Her girlish
fancy for cosy little suppers at 6 ate
hour, born possibly of the school girls
innate fondness for the forbidden mid
night 'sspread," is still keen, and she
frequently surprises the President by
producing, just as he is about to retire
for the night, dainty little dish which
the obhging White House chief is ever
ready to concoct for her. "To see Mrs.
Cleveland pour tea, " said an enthusiastic
admirer of the Presidents wife, sis as
pretty sight as you will ever gaze
upon. 7 had the pleasure once, and
became so thoroughly absorbed IN
watching her graceful manipulation OF
the tiny little teapots, cream pitchers
and delicate china, that [ forgot all
about my surroundings, and she was
actually forced to ask me twice whether
1 would take one lump or two in mine" !"

Optical and Other Illusions.

The senses are subject to illusions in
proportion to the remoteness OF the In
formation that they give from the I'M
mediate necessities of the organism.
Touch, the most immediate and least in
ferential of the senses, is least subject to
Illusions, while sight is so very much SO
that the blind often say they have an ad-
vantage over the seeing In being free
from visual illusions. The Illusions OF
bodily motion are much nearer to those
of touch than to those of sight, and yet
they can, under certain conditions, be
induced through visual impression. OF
this the writer has recently had two in
teresting examples. He was standing
upon the floor Of railroad station, the
boards of which were laid with consider.
able open space between them, and the
shadow of an electric Light was moving
up and down by the swinging of the
light in the wind. Looking ct the floor
it seemed as though the shadow were
stationary and the floor boards moving.
From this it followed that the person on
it was moving too, and the writer dis
tinctly felt the swinging sensation; II
fact, his attention was called to the
phenomena by this feeling of motion.
The other observation was as follows
While riding in the cars and looking out
of the window the trees and all are seen
to move in the opposite direction. If!
now, one looks in mirror so situated
that it reflects. the passing landscape
which, however, must not be visible ex
cept in the mirror, one has the illusion
of moving in the opposite to the rea
direction of motion, owing to the rever
sal the image in the glass: In bott
these cases an immediate bodily sensa
ton is induced by more or less uncon
scious inference through visual sensation

suggested that he have o pillow for his

weekly wages were only thirty cents, to

and over $4,000 was found hidden in
the manure pile, where it had lain for
wears.

THE PROHIBITION ALLIANCE.
Forming Permanent Organization to
Work Within the Democratic Party.

Forming a Permanent Organization to
Work Within the Democratic Party.
COLUMBIA, s. c., May 23.-The State
Prohibition Convention OF South
Carolina, which has occasloned some
little talk in the newspapers, assembled
here last night and completed its labors
this evening. There were forty-one
delegates, representing thirteen out OF
the thirty-four counties OF this State.
OF these twenty were from Columbia.
4 discussion arose upon resolution
declaring that no person be allowed to
vote or to participate in the discussions
of this convention who is not recognized
as Democratic voter of the State. The
resolution was finally adopted by vote
of 81 to 20. Some delegates were
pointed and earnest in their declarations
that the Prohibitionists of South Caro-
lima contemplate no third party move
ment, and no movement calculated to
injure the Democratic party. The name
adopted by the permanent organization
is the South Carolina Democratic Pro-
hibition Alliance. County Alliances are
to be formed under the direction Of the
several vice presidents of the State ALI
ance, there being one 7ice-president for
each county.
Resolutions were adopted, urging the
establishment of Prohibition paper as
soon as practicable, and asking mean
while the cooperation of the press; call
ing attention to the laxity in the en-
forcement of the statutes respecting the
sale of intoxicants and suggesting that
the Legislature be memorialized for re-
lief. 4 resolution reported by the COM
mittee, recommending the use OF pri-
mary elections for choosing Democratic
candidates, was discussed at some length
and with some little warmth. Finally
it was withdrawn by the committee and
the convention made no declaration
touching the manner Of making political
nominations.
The president of the State Prohibition
Alliance, elected by the convention this
morning, Mr.. ". K. Blake, Of Spartan
burg, formerly member OF the Legls-
lature, is an ardent temperance man
and one of the best men in the State.
The proceedings of the convention
were conservative and dignifed through
out and the demeanor of the delegates
has made very fine impression.

Ranch Lite in California.

The women often show the wear and
and tear and of their isolated positions,
without compensating social interests,
more than do the men, who are sur
rounded by men interested in the same
pursuits. Love of luxurious clothing
amounts to passion in the women OF
all classes. About their homes they so
dressed as elegantly as if in the fash
ionable streets of San Francisco. This
is the result of the wish Of husbands,
sons and fathers for the visible display
Of their wealth speedily shown. Too
hurried to build the good homes which
they need, ell rushing along the heated
race course that leads to sudden wealth,
they deck their women as means OF
establishing their claims to social I'M
portance, and to compensate them tol
the real hardships of their lonely lives
during much of the time.
The religious, educational and moral
tone of the community is largely upheld
by women, and reverential bearing is
adopted toward them which IS beautiful
and very gratifying without doubt. The
immense size of the ranches, however,
tends to isolation, and the maddenine
monotony of the life is very trying to

like another months during the heated
term, day after day, week after week,
Sunday included. With the nearest

HIS BODY CREMATED.
Tho Process of Cremation Witnessed by
Charlotte Man, who Rather Thinks that
1t Is Better than Burying.

The Process of Cremation Witnessed by
Charlotte Man, who Rather Thinks that
1T Is Better than Burying.
(From the Chariot Daily Chronicle.)
Prof. Albert Rouse, late music teacher
of the Charlotte Female Institute, who
dropped dead of heart disease at the
residence of Capt R. E. Cochrane, on
the 18th, was believer in the art of cre-
nation, and according to his expressed
wish, his body was burned to ashes.
The cremation ceremony was performed
ceremony at Fresh Pond, Long Island,
five miles out from Brooklyn, the Pro-
fessor's old home. Mr.. Robert L. Coch-
rane, who accompanied the body from
this city to Brooklyn, Witnessed the
entire ceremony, and was 80 favorably
impressed with the manner of ,dsposing
of the dead that he is himself almost
ready to join the ranks of the cremation
lists.
The crematory is very simple affair,
comprising an ordinary house with very
thick wall in which are located furnace
and reception rooms, the latter being for
the accommodation Of the friends and
relatives of the deceased while the body
is being reduced to ashes, process that
usually requires about three hours.
The coffin which contained Prof Rouse's
body was not opened from the time it
left Charlotte until it reached the cren-
atory. When the funeral procession an
rived there, the furnace was fred up and
ready to receive the body. The coffin
was opened and the body Was taken out
and wrapped in a cloth that had been
thoroughly saturated with alum. The
body was completely enveloped by the
cloth, and was then placed on an iron
bed, when the furnace door was opened,
and it was showed in and the door closed.
The furnace was constructed something
in the order of a bakers even, and was
at white heat when the body was showed
in. So intense was the heat that the at
tendants could not approach within less
than four feet of it. The iron bed, con-
tainirg the sheeted body, was lifted by
long hooks and showed into the furnace.
As the body was assigned to its proper
place, the furnace door was shut and
closed tight by means Of screws. Then
the heat was left to do its work. At the
end of three hours, the door was opened
aud the iron bed that held the body was
drawn out. The alum cloth was intact,
and within it's folds were the ashes OF
Prof. Rouse. The ashes, which were
sufficient to ill pint measure, were col
lected, deposited IN an urn and turned
over to his relatives.

infected its companion FIVE weeks be-
fore. An autopsy proved that the dis
ease was OF long standing in the first
animal, while in the second the pulmo-
nary tubercles were surrounded by red
circle. It was Zundle's opinion that
this form of glanders could be easily
marked by submitting suspected horse
to medical treatment, and especially to q
course of arsenic. The external symp-
toms are made to disappear; the animal
is, as it were, whiteWashed; but the in
ternal malady remains in all its virulence.

AMODERN DICK TURPIN.
Standing Thirteen People In Line
While He Robbed Them.
(From the Dallas News.)

(From the Dallas NeWs.)
The lone highway robber must have
escaped from the clutches of Uncle Sam,
as the United States mail and thirteen of
her brave citizens were relieved of their
valuables by a single robber while on
their way from here to San Anglo yester-
day morning. AS there we're too many
passengers for the stage an extra hack
was sent with it.
When the stage reached point not
far beyond the Nicholas pasture, about
noon yesterday, the stage driver was
ordered to- halt, which he did, and re-
NAMED at stand until the hack drove
up, which was about one hundred yards
behind whereupon the passengers were
ordered to dismount, which order was
promptly obeyed, and standing up in
line, the robber, after placing caps over
the heads of all Of them, quickly and
uninterruptedly relieved them and the
mail pouches of their valuable contents.
After this was done he held them for
nearly four hours, waiting for the other
stage going from here, but on account of
the bad and muddy roads it failed to
make its appearance. Ths robber per-
mitted them to depart on their way,
giving each enough money to buy meal
at Willow Waterhole Station. Also
certificate written on drummer's card,
in words as follows:
I hereby certify that all of you are
honest and brave gentlemen, but that you
are not armed and pr pared to defend
yourselves. Stage Robber.
During the performance the bold rob-
Der asked the stage driver what had BE-
come of that smooth-faced fellow who
drove the stage last fall when he robbed
it, and for which ofense MIR. Newsom
was SO unfortunately convicted by the
United States District Court at Waco.
He also said. "They haven't got me yet.
I am dandy, amt II"
The robber and horse were both COM.
pletely masked, so it was impossible to
recognize him or the color of his horse,
but Mr.. Ellis, the stage driver, who also
drove one of the stages that was robbed
last fall, says that judging from the
stature, pistol and voice, he feels
confident that he is the same man. The
robber took money only. One Of the
passengers saved $50 by secreting it in
his mouth, where he had to hold it for
four hours. The Sheriff and three
rangers left Ballinger this morning to see
if it is possible to accomplish anything
by pursuing the robbers tracks, which,
on account of the abundance of therecent
rains in this section and the muddy con-
dition of the soil, ought to be very
distinct and easy to follow.

1t is general belief that all good loco

been that the best engineers come up from

an express train cannot be acquired IN

often fail as engineers on that account.
