Where Is It?

What has become of that con-
stitution? It is now nearly month
since the constitutional convention
adjourned, and yet the fundamental
instrument, to prepare which was
the object of the said convention,
has not yet been presented to the
anxious public. Were it not for
that address to the people of Ida
no." which has been SO prominently
displayed in SO many of the news
papers of the territory, explaining
why that document-when it comes
to light-should be received with
trusting hearts, and unhesitatingly
adopted by the dear people, the
public would have by this time al
most forgotten that there ever had
been a convention to frame con-
stitution, so little interest has been
manifested in regard to the matter.

A Tramp Auction.

In Kansas the law provides a
very summary method of disposing
of the tramp nuisance, and it was
carried into effect at Moberly, in
that State, a few days ago. Four
tramps were arrested for vagrancy
and put up at public auction, in
accordance with the law. The sale
had been duly advertised and there
was a large crowd present. The
bidding, however, was not very
spirited. Two of the tramps went
to farmer at two dollars head,
and one was then bid in at seventy
five cents. There was no bid at all
for the fourth one, and he was
obliged to 60 back to Jail. The
three who were sold must serve
their purchasers four months.

tempts to have Cunning pardoned,
but for some reason or other the
attempts proved fruitless until a
few days ago, when the case was
opened, and it is likely Dunning
will soon be at liberty. In an in
terview with a reporter Cunning
was very reticent and would not
discuss his strange experience. In
answer to a question he said that
he had heard that the young lady
was engaged to a Chicago man and
would soon be married. Had this
story first appeared in the form of
a novel with the scene laid in Chi
cago, every one would have pro-
nonnced it gross exaggeration.

A Pail Bearer Slips On the Ice, And the

[Erie (Pa) SpecialI
A remarkable burial scene is reported as
having occurred in WesleyvilIe, four miles
east of this city. To-day a large gather
ing assembled at the Methodist Church to
attend the funeral services Of the daughter
of Mr., John Wells, and as the coffin was
being carried into the church by four
young ladies, who, according to the wish
of the deceased, had been selected as bear
ers, two Of them slipped on the ice coated
ground and fell, the shock bursting open
the casket and exposing the corpse, which
rolled upon one of the girls and held her
to the earth. The contact with the dead
body frightened her so that she relapsed
into insensibility before the body was
placed in the coffin again, and many of the
ladies who witnessed the distressing scene
returned home, so shaken were their
nerves. The service over the remains
ended, a second accident Mortified the
mourners. At the entrance Of the ceme-
terry, which adjoins the church, the
handles of the casket became de-
tached, and the jar resulted in another ex-
posure. The covering being partially
turned, both arms and feet were thrust
out; and, in the excitement which fol.
lowed, three women fell ifainting on the
snow.
The body having been forced back, and
the lid nailed down, the procession ro-
sumed its way to the igrave. All stood
with uncovered heads around the excava-
tion, in binding snow-storm, as the cof-
fin was lowered. The cords were not prop.
erly adjusted, and, slipping off the caskes
was dashed to pieces on the bot ON of tho
pit. Losing his balance the grave-digger
was precipitated upon the body, and was
drawn out palsied with fright After
much labor, the debris of the coffin and its
occupant were removed, and preparati ons
for interment went on. It was found that
the head had been crushed in, and the
shruud was in shreds, necessitasing new
habiliments, as well as a new coffin. Later
in the day the remains were committed to
earth without q recurrence of the painful
scenes of the morrin~.

TALKATivE YOUNG LADIES.

Girls who DON'T Give Fellow an Oppor.
tunify to Say . Word.
Opposed to the Silent type Is the young
American lady who Is victim Of the talking
habit In its most viruIent form, says tho
Chicago Herald. Her companions leave
her society feeling very tired. She is
most vivacious and bright. Her friends
say Of her: "She has q wonderful flow of
language.n Her enemies, especially the
vulgar onee-and ali enemies are vulgar
say that she can "talk the hind legs OF O
mule" See how different tho point of
view can bel When her friends hear what
her enemies have said, they politely won
der If she has talked OF their hind legs.
But why repeat these spi:eful reorimina-
6onsa,
This young lady is fond Of retiring with
her victim into secluded corners, where she
entertains him with the history of her alb
normally gifted family for several genera
tons back She never loves dear gazelle,
to glad her with his bright soft eye, that
she does not impart to him anecdotes
culled from the family history. There are
episodes Of her own childhood which also
must be told, and to which the family's
prowess was merely a mild prologue.
Naturally, these "reminiscences Of promis-
ing past spur her companion to emulation.
He recalls remarkable evidences of genius
which decked with amaranths his brow Of
youth. He burns to tell them. He chafes to
enter the arena. As he pauses breathless,
he cuts in with: /
eyes, yes; very funny. That reminds
me Of when was little chap-p'
"And it was two years after that" she
meditatively interrupts, her eyes fixed in
stare of working memory on her foot, "that
| fell through the ice out skating. 1t was
one Of my most horrible experiences" etc.
She takes the bit firmly between her teeth
and canters proudly off. He succumbs, but
waits his time. At the end of her recital
he makes a spring for the silence and
clutches it with:
"As was about to remark, when was
little chap, not six years old-my mother
has often told me the story
"Six years old!n she murmurs, raising
her eyes to the chandelier, in the deepest
reverie; "when my brother George was
six years old he wrote Spanish poem,
which was considered very remarkable. He
was a wonderful child"
She drops the words out lingeringly, but
he sees with horror that sheis warming with
her subject. Opening vlstas of recollection
Of Georges distinguished powers stretch
away before her mental vision. George is
on the carpet for the next fifteen minutes.
He holds his advantage bravely. The Span
ish poem was followed by Greek one at
eight, and Hebrew translation al ten. 1t
is very hard to vie with Georges opulent
genius. Her companion is gradually
swamped by it. Like the Queen Of Sheba
before the glories of King Solomon, "there
is no more spirit left in him." He only sits
and waits patiently for the happy time
When silence, like a poultice, comes
TO heal the blows of sound.

BEAUTIFUL JEWELS.
The Rare Collections Owned by Wealthy
American Women.

The Rare Collections Owned by Wealthy
American Women.
The American women, says the Mime
apolis Tribune, are not far behind those who
rule over inherited kingdoms in the matter
Of their personal posse ssions, particularly
jewels. There are probably a hundred
women in New York who each own sufficient
precious stones to make an independent
fortune, if turned into money. Mrs. Will
lam Astor has probably the largest and
most costly collections Of jewels in America,
the aggregate value Of which is very near
half million. The principal piece in this
glittering pile is q necklace composed of
three strands of pure white stones, each
measuring half an inch in diameter. Every
one of them is absolutely f1awless. She has
two other necklaces, one of large rose dis-
monds, with magnificent ruby pendant,
and the other of white stones OF great value,
with large oval pendant the center dia-
mond of which is of extraordinary size. A
new piece which Mrs. Astor has purchased
recently, and which she wore at the charity
ball, is in the form of V, and is composed
of twelve rows Of large diamonds, gradu
ated to point. She wears this piece at
tached to the front of her corsege, and it
makes glittering breastplate
Although Mrs. Astor has never received
apublic coron alton, yet she is the possessor
of two almost priceless diadems. One Is of
coronet shape, of large rose diamonds,
alternated with emeralds, and the other,
veritable crown, contains several hundred
gems, and the points are surmounted with
pearls almost as large as filberts. Beside
the crowns there are twelve diamond stars
for the hair, bird of diamonds, which may
be worn either in corsage or hair, two dia-
mond crescents and sun with ruby center
and diamond rays. Then there are brace
let's, pins, rings and small ornaments with
out number. 1t would be almost impossible
for Mrs. Astor to wear all her jewels at
once.
Mrs. Frank Leslie also has a wonderful
collection of jewels. They are very well
known to most New Workers, as that lady
not only wears them very often herself, but
has often loaned them. Miss Elita Proctor
Otis wore them all at the matinee given at
the Lyceum Theater, for the benefit of the
Jacksonville fever sufferers, in her part of
Lady Teazle. The necklace is worth 500
coo and was presented to Mrs. Leslie by
some scion of Russian nobility. Mrs. Leslie
has a great fondness for rings, and has |
some of unique design. Her bracelets and |
hair ornaments are all of fine diamonds |
She has also some fine emeralds, and few |
rubies, but her greatest fondness seems to |
be for diamonds. and her entire collection |
is worth over 500, 200.
