WILD AMELIE RIVES.
How She Discoura ged Nice But
Timid Young Man.

Stories concerning Amelie Rives' per-
sOnal eccentricities are not wanting,
writes Brooklyn Eagle correspondent.
Here is one current in the clubs. A
certain young man unknown to fame in
social circles, and with the record of
many and brilliant conquests behind
him, not great while Since-before the
lady'S recent marriage-waS asked
to spend few days in the
Virginia home Of the author of
1.-The Quick or the Dead" He
made no boasts, but there was the light
of battle in his eyes as he set out for
the meeting with this noted slaughterer
of his sex. He was determined to vim
dictate the superiority of man over
woman. BE arrived in the morning,
but the authOreSS was invisible until
dinner time, when she suddenly APP
peared on the scene gorgeously attired,
languid and condescending. The
young man had some experience with
that attitude in woman, and knew
how to meet it. All during the
meal he felt that the lady was measur-
ing him mentally, and evidently decid-
ing on some coup. After dinner it fell.
A drive was proposed, and though the
weather was somewhat threatening
there was still the long spring twilight,
and the rain would probably not come
until dark. A tandem was brought,
consisting of two wild Virginia ponies
that inspired neither confidence nor
pleasure in the New Yorker. Miss
Rives simply added hat and gloves to
her toilet, and took the reins. The
ponies began their career by sudden
bolt down the drive, and varied the way
with playful attempts to climb the
fences on either side the road, while the
cart followed their gyrationS in such
fashion that nothing but to hold madly
to the seat was possible. After some
ten miles of this the storm suddenly
broke with fury, and it became as black
as midnight. The ponies were induced
to turn about, and the drive home was
begun through furious rain, and lit
only with lightning flashes. Miss
RiveS declared that it was impossible
and that there was a short cut
through the fields which might be taken
by pulling down fences and driving
over ploughed ground. Then began the
most remarkable tandem drive on rec
ord. The little darkey groom demol-
isned the fences in their path, and the
wild, scrambling cattle dragged them
through furrowed fields and over ditch
es, while the elements roared and
poured. They did arrive at last, and,
strange to say, whole; but that young
man was eOwed, and had an urgent
telegram from New York next day sum-
moning him home, while the young
Southerner watched him depart with
the gloom of suppressed delight in her
ewes,

Why a Boot Shines.

"Did it ever occur to you," said a
chemist, "what a remarkable unique
process the blackening of boot is?
You see, we smear the boot with prep
aration of boneblack. which is entirely
devoid of luster, and then, by the fric-
ton of dry brush, make it shine like
the sun. There is not another process
like this anywhere in the arts, so far as
know, and never read anywhere any
scientific explanation of the process.
have a theory of my own, however,
which will give you for what it is
worth.
'The key to the mystery lies in the
fact that diamond is nothing but
crystallized carbon. The backing is
little more than carbon paste, and the
friction of hair brush, being one of
the most efficient methods of general
ing electricity, has the effect of crystal
LIKING the carbon of the backing. AS
soon as this is done the boot is covered
with millions of infinitely small dia-
monds, and, of course, begins to shine
as mass of diamonds would.
"Of course this is not a perfect ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon. What
part the other ingredients of the black
ing play, and especially, why it is that
the backing must be moistened, can
not tell; perhaps some one else can.
But feel pretty sure that the boot
blacks are engaged all day in turning
backing into diamonds"

STOLE IN ROYAL STYLE.
James T.. BedeIrs Populations
Will Foot I'm SS64.5OO.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-James E. Be-
dell, who swindled the law firm of
Shipman, Barlow, Larocque & CnOate,
out of nearly 100000, was remanded
for examination in the tOmbS this after
noon. Philip COss and Joseph Emer-
son, the proprietOrS of the policy shop
at $50 Broadway, where Bedell says he
lost 100000, and who were ar
rested last night, we're also arraigned
this morning and remanded in the
custody of the police. Inspector Byrnes
said to-day that the bottom of the Bedell
swindle had been reached, and that
S264. 800 was the full amount of his
thefts. Bedel'S method was of such a
nature as to bind his firm to full respon-
sibilIty to the investors in every in
stance. The police are puzzled over
Bedell'S assertion that he lost $4,000
playing policy. They profess to be I'M
able to understand how so much money
could be lost at policy, and this part of
the story the police are industriOuSly
sitting. In any event this money is
dead loss. Ali Bedell's victims can
hope to recover is what can be
realized by the sale of his
Westminster farm. Deputy Assistant
Register of Deeds L. ii. Watts, in speak
ing to-day of the Bedell forgery of tie
registers signature and stamp, said that
it was possible that the cases of a SINH
lar kind might have escaped the notice
of the officials in the registers Office.
He had not the least doubt but that
other cases would turn up. 1t was
stated at the Office of the Farmers
Loan and Trust company to-day that
theirs, which is among the heaviest in
wolves, will not be losers, as Bedell's
employers will have to make the defal-
cations good.

THE DOG KNEW HIS DEER.
An Extraordinary Manifestation
ofIntelligence in Claiming Per-
SOnaI PrOnartv


sonal Property.
Forest and Stream.
BY far the most interesting part of
this hunt to me is yet to come. The
voices OF the two dogs as they passed
along the mountain had been recog-
nized by their owner, and both claimed
the deer. Such things have been known
to cause bitter fued. One was sure it
was his deer and the other was Just as
sure it was his; but the question of most
Importance to be settled was which of
the dogs started the deer? The deer
was brought on shore and laid on the
greenSWard, where even the. ladies,
gentle creatures, admired it. Soon the
boat arrived with the two dogs. and one
OF the old hunters cried out, "Send
those hounds up here, and let us see
whose deer this is?' Never having
heard so strange story, l, half in
doubt, said: what nonsense is that
you are talking?' mo nonsense, doc
tor; wait and See"
Being deeply interested, Taapproached
closely, that might better observe the
animals. One OF them walked I'D to the
deer, smelt him all over and seemed
quite in doubt. Then the other dog
came up with an angry growl, smeIt the
deer and deliberately laid himself down
by the animal, while the first dog
quietly placed his tail between his legs
ana walked away. | could not help eX-
pressing my amaZement, and still doubt
ing the fact l said to my old guide,
THAT dog that is lying by the deer has
been the. master of the other and has
c0wed him."
"On the contrary" said my informer,
the dog that gave up the deer is the
time"
We learned during the day that the
deer had been started ten miles down
the river by the dog that claimed it, and
the sound of his voice drew the other
one, about four miles below the lake;
confirming the test and proving the
wonderful instinct of the hound.

Battle and Saved His Life.
During the late war, little cat,

small dumb member of his family, and
he gave pussy seat on his knapsack
by day OH the march. and a corner Of
his couch at night. She took her meals
on her masters knee, and was a general
pet in the company.
On the morning that the regiment was
first ordered into action, the soldier babe
his little cat farewell and left her in
charge of sick comrade. He had
marched about mile from the camp
when what was his surprise to see Miss
PuSs running beside him. He lifted her
up on her usual seat. and soon the en-
gagement commenced. Twice did the
soldier fall, but the cat chung fast hold.
At last severe wound stretched him
bleeding on the field. No sooner did
pussy catch sight of the blood flowing
from her master than she seated her.
self upon his body and began
to lick his wound in the
most assiduous manner. Thus she
remained for some hours, till the sur

him carried off to the tent of the
wounded. When he recovered con-
seriousness his first question was "Shall

the surgeons answer, "thanks to your
little cat; for if she had not used her
tongue so iDtelligently you would have
been too exhausted by loss of blood to

GRAND FORKS, Dak., Sept. 21.-Yes-

the sun shone for about five min
uets, when the clouds closed again
and it remained gloomy all day till

came here on excursion trains this
morning. A great many stopped at the
fair grounds and admired the fine cattle
and horses, to which the judges were
awarding premiums. The black Da-

walking unpleasant. Down town the
saloons were thronged. This
not single effort is being made to ell

course, would not arrest their brethren.
AT the fair grounds this afternoon there
was great throng of people.

MICROSCOPIC SCREWS.
So Small as to be Almost Invisible
Yet Perfectly Formed.


Yet Perfectly Formed.
Analyst.
The smallest screws in the world are
made in watch factory. There can be
no doubling that assertion on any score.
They are cut from steel wire by ma
chine, but as the chips fall down from
the knife it looks as if the operation
was simply cutting up the wire for fun.
One thing is certain, no screws can be
seen, and yet screw is made every
third operation. The fourth jewel wheel
screws is the next thing to being in
visible, and to the naked eye it looks
like dust. With glass. however, it is
seen to be small screw with 260 threads
to the inch, and with very fine glass
the threads may be seen very clearly.
These little screws are 4-1000th of an
inch in diameter and the heads are
double i'll size. 1t is estimated than an
ordinary lady's thimbe would hold
100000 of these tiny little screws.
About 100000 of them are made
month, but no attempt is ever made to
count them. In determining the num-
Der, 100 of them are placed on very
delicate balance, and the number of
the whole amount is determined by the
weight of these. All of the small
parts of the watch are counted in this
way, probably 80 out of the 120.
After being cut the screws are hard
ened and put in frames, about 100 to
the frame, heads up. This is done very
rapidly, but entirely by sense of touch
instead of sight, so that a blind man
could do just as well as the owner of
the sharpest eyes. The heads are then
polished IN an automatic machine,
10000 at time. The plate on which
they are polished is covered with oil
and grinding compound, and on this
the machine moves them rapidly by re-
versing motion until they are fully
polished.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. Gloon
gresham Roger Q. Mills arrived in
the city this morning from Richmond,
Ind, where he spoke last night. Dur
ing the day he was the recipient of
much attention from the members of
the Democratic state committee and
prominent local Democrats. In the aft
ernoon the distinguished gentleman
was escorted to the exposition and
state fair, where he attracted
marked notice from the thrOngs
as he passed through the eXhib-
its, and several hundred insisted on
shaking hands. Tonight Col. Mills
was rendered a veritable ovation by the
citizens of indianapolis. At an early
hour crowds began to pour into Tomlin-
sons hall. the largest auditorium in the
state, with a crowded capacity for over
5000 people. The great hall was brill
iantly lighted and handsomely decorated
for the occasion. On the crowded stage
sat about 800 ladies and gentlemen,
among their number being Gov. Isaac
p. Gray. Hon. Franklin LanderS, Judge
ZOllers and Mitchell, of the supreme
GOull. JutlEC Way pun anu many Vbl4@l
distinguished Democrats. In front of
the speakers stand stood a large, full
length portrait of President Cleveland.
Shortly alters o'clock Chairman Charles
l.. JeWett, of the state committee, called
the meeting to order. The audience i'll
cluded many ladies, and Was
NOTABLY FINE-LOOKING ASSEMBLAGE.
The corridors and alSleS were crowd
ed with standing listeners. Samuel L.
Porter. a member of the Pauline Fur
niture company, of this city, presided
and made the opening address. He
thought the Mills bill did not go far
enough in its reduction, and speaking
as a representative of the furniture
manufacturers of the United States,
de clared that they required no
protection whatever. His speech
was of free trade tendency.
When Porter concluded by introducing
the orator of the day the great audience
rose and for several minutes yociferous-
ly cheered the big Texan.
Col. Mills was in excellent health.
His voice was at times little husky,
and ne occasionally slipped from glass
of cold coffee, remarking, as he did so
the first time, that the Democracy was
OPPOSED TO FREE WHISKY
but favored free coffee. After cordially
thanking his audience for their magnifi-
cent reception. he proceeded in dis
cussiOn of the tariff issue, following the
same line of argument and illustration
as at Richmond, and combining his adj
dress to the tariff. Frequent and hearty
applause punctuated the speech, and he
held the undivided attention of his
intelligent audience fur nearly two
hours. The conclusion was the signal
for another damon Cfr1finn Cf1mninO

JACKSON is ISOLATED.
Railroad Communication Cut OFF
That the Plague May Not Spread.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 21.-At the
meeting of the board of health to-day
the fever epidemic at Jackson, Miss,
was discussed. DR.. Watkins thinks
there is no danger of sickness here.
Through trains on the Illinois Central
railroad will not hereafter stop at Jack
son, Miss. The roads connecting Jack
son with Natchez and VicksDurg have
discontinued their trains, and communi-
cation between those points is cut
off. 1t is reported on good au-
thOrity that the frightened people
have torn up a piece OF
railroad track between Harrison and
Vicksburg. The people Of Jackson are
now entirely isolated, and there is little
fear that any refugee will reach LOulsi-
ana. There is evidently reign of
terror in and about Jackson, and Agent
Leman on his way from Birmingham
to Vicksburg, who was forced to come
to New Orleans from Meridian, said to-
day that he never saw people so fright
ened as are the Mississippians, who are
panic-stricken lest the ScOurge become
general. Special trains, as required,
will be sent to jacksonville by the Hi
nois Central to carry north all WHO
