INGERSOLL'S BRINGING UP.
His Education Watched by an
Earnest and Deeply Religious

Col. Robert Ingersoll's father, DR..
John 1ngersOll, was a large hearted,
generous man, and one of the few min
listers of his time who dared to raise his
voice in defense of the negro slave, SAYS
the New York Mail and Express. Like
many men who possess the magic power
to move mems minds, he was restless
ever seeking fresh fields and pastures
new. so, with his five young mOtherless
children, of whom Col. Bob
was the baby, he lived the pre-
cariOuS life of Zealot, "cOunt-
ing all things but loss and drosS if that
he might win souls" He never lost
sight, however, of the Importance of
education for his children, and where
ever their lot was cast, whether on the
top waves or in the depths, this alert
minded young family never missed an
opportunity of acquiring keen knowl-
edge of men and things. When Robert
settled in Peoria, H., and:fthere began
controversies Oh religious subjects be-
tween father and son. The old minis
ter was heard to say: sit grieveS me
to hear my Robbie talk so. but declare
he is too much for me. am not able
to answer him."
Robert, after dabbling a little in
poetry and journalism, studied law and
was admitted to the bar at the age of
nineteen. Strikingly unsuccessful for
several years, he to-day proves the truth
of the old saw that "bad beginnings
make good endings," for his law prac-
tice some of the best in New York and
his income from it is very large-sO
large. in fact, that he has given up lect-
uring, for which he never had any liking
and to which he never would resort ex-
cept when he Unexpectedly found
himself in want of few thousand dol
lars. Family affection is predominant
ing characteristic of the Ingersolls, and
between Robert and his brother, Clark,
there was the tenderest fraternal love.
They never outlived their bOyish deyo-
ton to each other. The intense love
and alteration which Col. Ingersoll
lavishes upon his wife and daughters
and which they return in kind is such
as one dreams of; they have literally
four souls with but single thought
! four hearts that beat as one,

THE STORY OF TWO GIRLS.
Virtues Glorious Final Triumph
Over DishOnOr.

Over DiShOnOr.
''Let me tell you little story" eX-
claimed the cashier of popular restau-
rant not far from the corner of Madison
and Clark streets. It's story of two
girls and there IS nothing funny about
it. Do you want story that has no fun
about it? Yes? Well, one of these
girls was Scrub-wOman in our reStau-
rant. She is yet. for that matter. She
is a beautiful girl, too, with the purest
skin | ever saw. When she comes i'll
the morning, neatly dressed, or when
she goes away at night, she is very at
tractive, but always well-behayed. In
fact, she is rather severe in her self
discipline, ana will not joke and laugh
with the walters as the other girls do.
She is awfuly careful of herself, as any
girl must be who has face pretty
enough TO attract attention in scrub
wOman's dirty dress. I've seen men adj
miring this girl when she was down on
the floor on her hands and knees scrub
bling, wet and dirty. Well, one night
last winter we had little scene on
here. 1t only lasted second OF two,
and but four or five people knew what
it meant. Our girl was down on the
floor at her work when gay party,
composed of two girls and two young
men, came in, says the "Story Teller"
in the Chicago Herald. The young
women were rather fiashily dressed and
the experienced eye needed but a
glance to detect their station in life.
The party ordered supper and wine and
was having jolly time, when one of
the Young men exclaimed: Look
there" All looked where he pointed,
and there was our scrub woman, resting
on her knees. her two hands fiat on the
floor, like cat ready to jump. AS the
supper party turned toward her she
leaped to her feet. ran up to one of the
young ladies and, in tone of voice
which for mingled reproach and affec-
ton l had never heard equaled on the
stage, called out the one word: 'SisterH
The young woman thus addressed
turned as pale as the electric light globe
there, but did not say a word. She mo-
toned the scrub woman away, and,
picking up her wine glass, tried to be
gay. Ii took many drink to enliven her
spirits to the pitch desired by her COM
panianS, and even then l noticed that
her eye once in while glanced fur
lively round as if she would find the
scrub girl and look at her again. All
this time the scrub girl was back in the
kitchen crying as if her heart would
break. That is the first act in the trag-
edy. Now for the last. A week ago
our pretty scrub girl came to us for adj
vice about the most economical way of
securing respectable burial for her
sister. and / then learned that the fash
ionabiy dressed, wine-drinking young
woman had been sick for several
months and that her sister, the scrub
girl, had taken care of her through it
all, bringing her medicine and providing
medical attendance, and doing all she
could with her slender purse to smooth
the jOurned to the grave OF the unfortu-
nate ones

but Jud had not bettered his hand and
held his deuces, drawing three cards.
StutSman'S friends tried to prevail on
him to draw four cars to his ace, but he
wouldn't listen tc them, and discard
ing the heart he drew one card, hoping
to fill the flush. The OnloOkers
were wild as Williams threw three
cards to Jud. They fell face up, the
queen of clubs, jack of diamonds and
ten spot of clubs. He had not bettered
his hand, and his opponent smiled
grimly os he saw how severely fortune
must snub him now If she failed to
bring him winning hand, for if he
paired any of the four cards he
besides there was possibility
of his filling his flush. Judd had evil
IDENTIFY lost hope, and he rested his arms
ON the table and doggedly watched
Williams as he turned to StutSman and
slipped a card from the pack. All
stretched their neckS to catch sight OF
the card. 1t fell at last face up, the
eight spot of clubs.
The game was over. Jud had won,
and as he showed his hand over the table
to StutSman the latter grasped it and
shook it as though he had forgotten that
it had played sad havoc with his
finances.
True to his word, as he always was,
Stutsman decided the 500 acres of land

ton of it and realized many thousands

HIS NECK BROKEN,
Vet He Still Lives, Is Conscious

u ct He Still Lives, Is Conscious
and is Likely to Recover.
1t isn't often that Il man can fall and
break his neck and live to tell it. Sur
gical history furnishes nine cases in
which men with dislocated neckS were
treated, eight of which proved success
full, the men living to green old age,
says an Oil City Pa.) special to the
New York Sun. Generally, though,
when man falls and breaks his neck,
or when the sheriff takes hand in the
job, it is pretty sure to prove fatal.
Nickleville is small town in Venango
county, and it is not far from Oil City.
Saturday last 2. o. Myers, of that place,
was out riding on horseback. The ami
NAL became frightened and threw Mr..
Myers violently off his back.
The ground was hardly frozen, and
when help came along in the shape of
two farmers, Mr.. Meyers lay paralyZed
in the road. His head hung limp and
lifeless, and swung around as if it was
on hinges. He was taken home. There
the discovery was made that his neck
was diSlOcated. DrS. Wallace, of East
Brady, and Glover. of Salem, were
called. They soon found out that My
ers was lucky to be alive at all. His
neck was diSlOcated in two places.
Neither of the physicians would have
given nickel for Myers life. There
was only one treatment available. the
doctors said, and that was to reduce the
diSlocated bones. Myers was told that
this was his only chance. and the infOr-
nation was impaired that the operation
was more than likely to prove fatal.
Myers had lots of grit. He realized
that he couldn't live long anyway with
his neck broken in two places, and was
perfectly willing for the doctors to eX-
pertinent on him. A big sponge loaded
with chlOroform held under his nose
sent him into the land of dreams. 1t
took over all hour to replace the rup-
tured bones of the neck. Reaction
came, and Myers, instead of pegging
out, began TO act as though he was
going to live. Since then lie has seemed
to gain in strength daily, and, if ne
keeps on improving, will astOniSh the
medical world by living. His body,
which was paralyZed from the start, is
recuperating from the shock. He has
not yet regained the use of his arms or
legs, but they are sensible to the touch.
and he can move his fingers slightly.
The doctors now believe that Myers
will pull through. If he lives it will be
the only known case on record in this
or any other country where ma II has
had the good luck TO live after sustain
ing double dislocatiOn of the neck.

Inc boys employed about that body
complain that gratuitieS are so rare that
the recipient is usually speechless for

The members of the house. however.
are as rule poor men, and this prob
ably accounts for their want of fiber
ality. Excepting a score or SO all the
remainder are compelled to live on their
income of 5000 year. Charlie FELTON,,
OF California, who is said to be worth
SIC, 1000, &C., spends more money than any
of his associates. He draws usually
from $1,000 to $500 month through
the Office of the sergeant-at-arms. His
bachelor apartments at an uptown hotel
cost him S400 month. He is very char
liable, although the fact is not generally
known. He investigates where it is
practicable every appeal upon his gen.
crosby. If deserved, he gives freely.
William l.. Scott. of PENNSYLVANIA, is
another of the millionaire representa-
tlves who spends great deal i'm charity.
The late Mr.. Arnott, of New York, how
ever, Is said to have been the most
generous of all the latter day represent
atiVes. If the newsbOy who offered
him paper looked sick or needy is was
his custom to buy out his stock and then
make him present of it.
The little hunchback whom visitors to
the house appropriations committee have
seen sitting outside the door for years,
was an especial object of Mr.. Arnott's
charity. The boy himself was authority
for the statement that during the long
session of the FOrty-ninth congress, Mr..
ArnOtts money presents to him aggre-
gated upward of 800.
On one occasion lie handed the little
fellow $50 bill. He supposed it to be
a SO note; but when. the boy notified
him of his mistake the New Yorker told
him to keep it, as the boy needed it
worse than he did.

HIS SIN FOUND HIM OUT.
Julius Feuret Torn from His
Trusting Wife and Taken Back
to Sing Sing


Julius Feuret, an escaped Sing Sing
convict, after leading an honest life for
four years, was recognized Oh Friday
and torn from the arms of his young
and innocent wife to serve out his orig
inal sentence of five years, says the
New York Journal.
Feuret, a young man, is a native of
Germany and a drug clerk by profess
sion. For several years he was in the
employ of large wholesale drug store
i'll Gold street. In the spring of 1884 he
was detected in forging orders for drugs
on his employers, and on May in that
year he was sentenced by Judge Cow
ing to five years in state prison.
The main prison being full, he. with
some forty or fifty other cOnyiets, was
lodged in the old Female prison on the
hill. On the evening of Sept. II, four
months after his arrival at the prison,
he happened to be last man in the long
line of cOnvictS being marched to their
quarters for the night, and he en-
braced the opportunity to turn back
and make dash for liberty.
He went to Boston, worked there for
nearly year, and then went to Mon
treal. There he obtained good situa-
ton, and was soon afterward married,
uHutr lut Hdiut OI OHdTleS CHeSlHuJ- 10
young and eStimable French-Ca Canadian
girl. In the meantime the prison of
ficialS had come to the conclusion that
the fugitive had been drowned, and the
search for him was quickly abandoned.
Months passed and all went well, until
last Wednesday customer entered the
store and was instantly recognized by
Feuret as a fellow-convict who had
worked with him in the prison hospital.
He preserved his self possession as we'll
as he cOuld, and when the man departed
breathed sigh of relief to think that
he had not been recognized. He was
mistaken, however, for in spite of the
great change in his appearance the man
knew him at the first glance.
The next day the man went to Sing
Sing to earn the reward offered for an
escaped convict, and told Warden Brush
of his discovery. On Friday State De-
tective Jackson, of Sing Sing, visited
the drug store and verified the recOgni-
ton of Feuret. He Immediately went
to police headquarters, secured the as
siStance of Detective Sergeant Adams
and returning to the drug store arrested
the unfortunate man.
