A Dig In the Ribs,

diaphragm, though playfully meant and de-
livered, is calculated to evoke profanity from

that region is sore and congested, pokes seem
l6endish. Look at mans countenance ere
you prod him under the ribs. II his skin
and eyeballs have sallow tinge, you may
infer also that his tongue is furred, his breath
apt to be sour, that he has pains not only
beneath his ribs, but also under the right
shoulder-blade. Also that his bowels are
irregular and his digestion impaired. Instead

quested the court to permit his son to

Kelley was ordered to- produce his son
within an hour or suffer the forfeiture OF
his bond.

sister Annie, while little three-year old
girl named Lora stood in her night-sl1p
at the knees of her aunt. Mrs. McNulty
was busy arranging the room. Mary"
was finally prevailed upon to accompany
Detective Clark to Police Headquarters,
where she sat for some time in the In
spector's room. She eyed curiously the
crowd who gathered about the door, and,
ut length, recognizing several in the
crowd, suddenly threw aside the tear
stained mask and laughingly joked with
her acquaintance.
1t is said that she brazenly denied that
she knew Buckridge or McQuade, or
that she had anything to do with the
shooting.
Meanwhile McQuade's statement was
being made privately to Chief Murphy.
When she and McQuade were summoned
to the patrol wagon to be locked up in
the Grove street station house, she burst
into tears again and sobbed out something
about her seven -months'-old babe. She
objected to being compelled to ride in the
patrol wagon and wanted to walk to the

hustled in the rear while McQuade occu-

one of the morning speakers. She told
of the good work accomplished by the
various societies, saying that its value, in
religious sense, was inestimable. Then
there are hundreds of auxiliaries socie-
| ties of which the speaker had no knowl-
edge, whose workers are Just as Jealous
and untiring as those with which she is

Mrs. Suydam, vice-president of the

blackboard on the platform held colored
pictures of various scenes at foreign

the lectures of the speakers.
Miss Andrews, missionary lately re-
turned from India, told of the good work
of the missionaries in that country. The
women there she said. are not easily
converted. but when once enlightened
in the true way they persevere. Miss

who had been converted by the mission
aries and who was tortured by her friends
in the hope of compelling her to renounce
they burned her feet and tortured her un-
mercifully, and then threw her into a

This she did, however, and crawled for

missionary station. The young girl re-
covered and joined the missionary band,

No. 1856 Clinton street, Hoboken, lies
mortally wounded at st. Mary's Hospital,

Lindsay claims that at the time of the
shooting, Harrison was drunk, and that
he was an offensive bystander, when a
general row took place in Kuncken's
saloon, at Fifth and Washington streets,
and that Harrison deliberately pointed
the revolver at him and fired two shots.
The first shot struck Lindsay in the
right leg, just above the knee. The

flowing from an awful wound, from
