SHE ACTED PROMPTLY.
Rare Courage and Presence of Mind of 8
Ercncb Girl.

French Girl.
Some years ago four men, who were
employed in cleaning n common sewer
at a place called Noyon, in France,
upon opening drain were so affected
by the fetid vapors that they were un-
able to ascend. The lateness of the
hour Qt was eleven o'clock at nighD
rendered it impossible to procure as
sistance, and the delay must have
proved fatal had not a young girl a
servant in the family, with courage and
humanity that would have done honor
to the most elevated station, at the haz-
ard of hor own life, attempted their de-
liverancc.
This generous girl, who was only
seventeen years of age, was ut her own
request, let down several times to the
poor men by II rope. She was so for
tunate as TO save two of them pretty
easily, but in tying the third to the
cord which was let down to her for the
purpose, she found her breath failing.
and was in great danger of sulrocation.
In this dreadful situation she had the
presence of mind 10 tie herself by the
hair to the rope and was thus drawn up,
almost expiring, with the poor man in
whose behalf she had so humancly OK
erted herself.
The instant she recovered she insisted
upon being let down again, but her cX-
ertions this time failed OF success. for
tho third unfortunate man was drawn
up dead. Tho corporation of the town
OF Noyon, as a small token of their
appreciation. presented the heroine
with six hundred livrcs and conferred
on her the civic crown. with Il medal
engraved with the arms of the town,
her name and narrative Of the action.
The Duke of Orleans also sent her five
hundred livres and settled two hundred
yearly on her for life. phiu

THE LADY OF LYONS.
To Deceive Hostile Critics the Play Was
First Produced Anonymously.


First Produced Anonymously.
/ am not old enough to remember
the publication of the early novels
of Edward Lytton Bulwer, and
consequently am unable to speak oil
their reception by the public press;
but when that gifted gentleman took to
writing for the stage perfectly recol-
lect the savage attacks that were made
upon his dramatic attempts.
There Is no doubt that Bulwer had.
in some way or other, made himself
personally offensive to the critics; but,
whether or no, he became fully per-
suaded that no play written by him,
however good it might be, would be
allowed to succeed upon the stage.
Acting upon this conviction he, in
counsel with Macready, who always
played the hero in his pieces, deter
mined to produce his next dramatic at
tempt anonymously. Happy thought!
The subject fixed upon was 1.-The Lady
OF Lyons" and when the play was pro-
duced-about the year 1912, think
the authorship was known to two per-
sons only-Macready and Bulwer.
Dickens was the intimate friend Of
both actor and writer and on invitation
of Macready he took his place among
the audience on the first night, in total
ignorance of any thing and every thing
connected with the play. The curtain
fell to a storm of applause. Dickens
went delightedly behind the scenes to
congratulate the great actor on u we'll
deserved success.
In Macready's dressing-room Dickens
found Bulwer, looking, as he thought,
little disturbed.
"a capital play! good idea-well and
dramatically worked out. The author,
young fellow, l suppose, has been
looking little at our friend here" in
dicating Bulwer. "If this is his first
work predict fine future for him; as
for you, my dear Macreadv. you are in
for long run, depend upon it, Then,
turning to Bulwer. Dickens said: "Did
you see the play from the frontp did
not notice you among the audience"
NO" said Bulwer, II saw quite
enough of it from the wings"
Well" exclaimed Dickens, "you
are not satisfied with it?''
Not bit of it," said Bulwer. at
was capitally acted, fortunately for the
author. Without our friend here it
might have been a hideous failure"
My dear Bulwer, If did not believe
you to be free from the slightest tinge
of jealousy of other writer's, what you
have Just said would make me uneasy.
The fellow has written a bright, capital
play, and you should be the first to
acknowledge SUCH"
mot if | don't think so. l suppose"
said Bulwer with smile.
In telling this anecdote, as we'll as l
can remember, / have used Dickens
us l heard them from his
own lips.
The morning following the produc-
tion of THE Lady of Lyons" was
triumph for Bulwer, who was re-
quested by the papers to take a lesson
from his rival, who had shown by his
play that he had dramatic
powers which were conspicuous by
their absence in such works as had
proceeded from the pen of
Mr. Bulwer. Firth "reminiscences.

Sound Reasons for Approval.

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the pub
lie prefer Hostette Stomach Bitters
above the ordinary cathartIcs. 1t does not
drench and weaken the bowels, but assists
rather than forces nature to act; it is botan-
ic and safe; its action IS never preceded by
an internal earthquake like that produced
by a drastic purgative. For thirty-five
years past it has been household remedy
for liver, stomach and kidney troubles,
malaria and rheumatism.

Inauguration Quarters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Managers
of the Washington hotels state that
they have received ten times as many
applications for accommodations as
ever came to them before for an in&u-
guration or any other public occa-
sion. They have provided facilities
for taking care of all the
guests they can entertain and
are rejecting applications by the score.
All the first class boarding houses
have proposals to the extent of their
capacity, but the thrifty Washington
ians are not going topermit this oppor-
tuuity to pass unimproved. Every
building near the center of the city
capable of being converted into q tenn
pOrary lodging and eating house is now
undergoing conversion. Halls on
Pennsylvania avenue and adjacent
streets are being filed with cots
and all the spare rooms are being pre-
pared for Inauguration guests. A har-
vest of cash is anticipated. For cot
in room with dozen or twenty more
So per day to be the price, and If the
guest is always choice about his i'm
mediate neighbors. and wants to Toost
in a small room to himself. the charge
will be $15 or $40 per day. Where parties
are accommodated together and are
willing to occupy rooms containing as
many cots as they can hold, the rate
is 50 per day each, but this reduced
rate only applies to parties of 100 or
more, and does not include anything
but sleeping accommodations. Gen.

hurrah never before equaled. From
the remote regions Of the Union Wis
itors are coming in numbers. The

lions will be in the parade. The in
auguration promises TO be regular

ment was adopted.
