When Mrs. Potter. appeared saw
sahat might be called willowy woman
Cof greater height than had supposed,
for she could stand almost as high as
BelleW, who supported her. Her
head was round, and the features
in it seemed to be shortish or rather
smallish, the mouth being small and
showing its teeth in pretty way, like
the women of the Eastern harem. Her
form was, for the first time in her stage
History. nearly visible, the dress in the
Second act being sort of black
gauze which barely betrayed the
limbs, or only when they were adj
Syanced to the texture of the garment: ::
When they receded one had towait with
his opera glass for another forward
movement. She is a finely llmbed
woman, without the Western girth and
Wholesomeness, but of race
apparently which has been a
gbod while coming along and
Has become attenuated through
its nervous system and certain condl-
tious of living possibly Creole French.
That she stands stoutly upon her limbs,
and is creature of flesh and blood, one
could see at times when she would
strike her knee with her hand. In the
bust she is meager woman, her
composition, more Latin than Saxon,
and good deal was said about her
placing of the asp within this bust,
which I saw intently. and it seemed to.
me that there was not much of it. In
deed. those who went to see 'sAntOny
and Cleopatra" with its central idea,
that of love and passion and the deser-
ton of a great career for mere pleasure,
should have been gratified rather than
critical at what was given.

Jones, traveller, whom they met on

They, in company with Tom DAILY, were
out on debauch, and because Jones
would not drink wirh them, brutally
beat him. The above three were ar
rested, and when brought before the
grand jury Daily and Leo Rebel were
cleared by the petit jury, and as Daily
has not yet been captured, their crime,
for the present, at least, goes unpun-
ished. DAILY was the leader in the af-
fair, and will no doubt get his deserts if
captured.

John s.. Barnes, of this city, who
recently returned from a trip to En-
gland, relates story of his journey
which will be or interest to the daily
readers of the Parnell investigation. 1t
tends to show UP in his true light the
witness Beach, by whose testimony it is
attempted to implicate prominent Par
nellites in the alleged conspiracies by
American secret organizations against
the British government. Mr.. Barnes
says that Beach, as Dir. Henry LIE
Caron, was a fellow passenger on the
Cunard steamer Umbra, which sailed
from New York Dec. 8. During
the voyage he was thrown very
much in his company. On his
first meeting with lie Caron he
put him down as a professional con-
fdehee man and blackleg, and was not
surprised when the fellow began a sys-
tematic scheme to work HIM for a
sucker" The story that Barnes was
Oh his way to claim a large fortune i'll
Ireland had been published in the New
York papers previous to their sailing.
Mr. Barnes has had wide experience
with professional starpers, but was dis
guSted to think that he should be picked
out for victim. lie Caron'S actions
soon became so obnoxious that he
could stand ii no longer, and he called
him down fatty. telling him that he un
derstood his game thoroughly and that
he might look elsewhere for victim.
LIE Caron did not take the affront as an
insult, as any gentleman would and
some siarpers would pretend TO do, but
tried to laugh the matter off, treating
Mir. Barnes during the rest of the jour
ney as man who thoroughly under
stood him and might be in sympathy
with him. On the same steamer was
Col. Davenport, a New York millionaire,
whose acquaintance lie Caron tried to
form, even asking Mr.. Barnes TO pre-
sent him. This Mr.. Barnes peremptor-
lily refused to do, but gave Mr.. Daven-
port hint as to his intentions. He de-
scribes LIE Caron. or Beach, as small
man. of dark complexion, great con-
verSationalist, and one of the smooth
est men of his class that lie ever met.
MIR. Barnes is of the opinion that not
single man who formed his acquaintance
during the voyage would believe him
under oath.

Review of the Character of 4
Great Novelist.

Leon II. Vincent delivered the third
of series of biographical lectures to q
large and fashionable audience at the
First NJ. E. Church last evening. His
subject was George Eliot" After
briefly outlining the eventful life of the
great authoress, he proceeded to discuss
the effect which her liaison with George
Lewes had upon her writings and char
acter. She, always felt the equivocal posi-
ton in which she was placed. but never
really regretted the step she had taken.
However, it prevented her from writing
anything containing spontaneous hui
NOR. Her works made readers think,
but never made them laugh. In this
respect alone does she fall short of at
tanning the highest pinnacle Of literary
fame. She wrote with great difficulty.
and her plots often took months Of hard
brain work before they were in such
shape that she felt justified in writing
them up. She was frequently on the
verge of despair before commencing
novel, and while writing it threw so
much severe work into it that it be-
came positive pain. George Eliot did
not commence writing until nearly forty
years old, and it was only after sug-
gestion from her sshusband' to the effect
that perhaps she could write work
that she ever gave it thought. Her
life was filled wi4h dependency, and
her works show it in the
prevailing tone of melancholy, but she

DECORATIVE ART.
An American Woman Honored by
ltaly's Queen.

A stir in art circles was caused last
week by the advent of Mrs. S. S.
Fraekelton, of Milwaukee. Wis, who is
the guest of Mrs. w. Ii. Wilcox, 233
West Fifth street. Mrs. Efackelten IS
the most successful decorator of china
in the country. She is young woman,
comparatively, and has achieved honorS
never before granted an American. At
awarded gold and silver medals
the last international exposition
was awarded the only gold
medal ever gained by an American in
competition with foreign decorators.
She holds two patents on kiln for fir
ing china that is in demand i'll many
cities, abroad as we'll as in this coyntry,
and her clever work on china painting.
Tried by Fire." which was published
in 1856, has received most. favorable
criticism from the technical journals of
all the art centers of Europe. On its
appearance Queen Marguerite ofsItaly
sent Mrs. Frackeiton an autograph LETT
ter. congratulating her on the success
fui experiments she has made in her
art. In return, Mrs. Frackelton sent
the queen rose jar, decorated in raised
silver and gold marguerites, one
side bearing the royal arms in
Ied and green and the queens
monogram wrought in tiny marguerites.
To keep the gift distinctly American it
was wrapped in piece of White Amer
lean silk, on which a bunch of marguer-
ties was embroidered.
Mrs. Fraekeitonis superintendent of
a China-painting establishment in Mil
Waukee, where she receives orders for
her exquisite work from foreign courts
and from CrHsuses in every American
city. She will have none but women in
her employ, state of feminine pro-
gression that astonishes her foreign COM
petitors, who deem men alone fitted to
such work. Arrayed in Mrs. Will
coX's artistic parlors, Mrs. Frackelton
has some of the exquisite products of
her skill. There is one piece of a meat
course, done in purple and gold, that
brought the neat sum of $500, and a
pattern plate is shown limiting of the
rare beauty of the set that was sold for
$500. American landscapes, each a
different scene, done in gold, ornament
another set of plates, and a bird set is
decorated with the tinted feathers of a
variety of American birds. So in love
with her art is this original genius, she
has brought a couple Of kilnS with her
and is teaching her processes to differ

that her stay in this city will continue

TURKISH FECULiARITIES.
Man and Beast Live Together in
Harmony, ~ gl,-

I1NFIIOIy.
Social life in Turkey was described
last evening by Rev. G. A. Filian, a ma
tive of Turkey. Rev Mr.. Filian was
educated in this country and graduated
at Chicago in 1882. He nov has a
church at Constantinople and breaches
there regularly to 1900 people. He is a
tall, graceful man, with heavy, jet black
beard and mustache, and was dressed
in black. except red turhan lie wore.
He entertained his audience with de-
scription of the splendor and magnifi-
cence of CGnstantinople. its statuary,
architecture and beautiful churches.
His description of the everyday life of
the Turkish people was very interesting,
picture of their home life. In the towns
the family and all the animals live sub
.stantially together in long house. In
one end of this house the family resides,
the members of which always sit on the
floor at their meals. Next to the family
is the camel. with thin partition be-
tween. Next to the camel the donkey,
and so on for several! more partitions.
All lived together and seemed to enjoy
each others society. The partitions be-
tween the different departments were
exceedingly thin, and much of the time
the noise was almost unbearabie. Every
thing in Turkey is taxed. 1t is not
enough to tax the land. After that has
been taxed. tax is put on the crops.
When one is married he is taxed, and
when a baby is born the father is taxed
again. He described the marriage cere-
mony as practiced among the Turks,
and said ttat among the Greeks and
sArmenians. divorces are not allowed for
any cause. The people throughout the
Turkish empire are denSely ignorant,
and 95 per cent of them cannot read or
write. When God made that country
He made it for Himself, aud it was not
like England, America or any other

Evidence All in by the State
Against Kohout's Slayer.

The case of Andrew Sofar, for the
murder of the Bohe mlan. Kohout, was
continued yesterday morning. The
prosecution introduced large number
of witnesses, most of whose testimony
it was necessary to interpret. The
principal feature of interest was the
presence in court of huge rotten fence
past, about six feet long, eight inches
thick, with several very ugly knots.
This unwieldy club, it is alleged, is the
weapon used by the defendant
when he struck the deceased Oh the
head, crushing his skull. John Kohont.
a twelve-year-old son of the deceased.
was on the stand in the forenoon. and
Dr.. Witherle, who attended kohOut,
testified as to the nature of the injuries
and how they were probably inflicted.
Evidence for the state is all i'll, ana the
defense was introduced by Mr.. Warner.
Annie Ronsky was called as a witness,
but her testimony was devoid of inter-
est. Tue court then adjourned, and
the case will be resumed tomorrow

DRINK AND DISHONESTY.
Henry Ransom's Swindling Opera
tions Result in His Arrest.

Henry Ransom, employed in the
county treasurer's Office during the adj
ministration of Treasurer REM, was az
rested last evening and locked up at the
Rondo street police station, charged
with obtaining money under false
pretenses. Several poor women
and ignorant men were victim
lied by him. He has been presenting
himself as an emp!oye Of the county
treasurer, at the houses Of such proper
ty owners as he thought might be vie
timized and demanded the payment of
alleged back taxes against the property.
The amounts asked for were small,
ranging from 81 to s., and onthreats of
foreclosure they were in most cases
secured. Ransom'S dishonesty finally
reached Treasurer Nelson's ears and
the police authorities were placed on
his track. When arrested he was found
at the home of woman on Pleasant av-
enue, where he called to get s. which
she had promised him through fear of
losing her home. Ransom is said to
have been we'll connected and highly
respected at one time, but drink is re-
sponsible for his present escapade.
