"THAT SETTLES IT.o
How . Hotel Clerk Took Fanny Dav-
EXPORTS Refusal.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Tuesday night, just as the curtain went up
on the second scene Of Hamlet" q gentleman
in evening dress, whose fierce mustache and
goatee suggested fre-eating proclivities
marched down the right aisle of the Opera
house parquet to front seat, sat down, and
then, with very fierce expression upon his
face. strobe up the aisle again into the foyer
and out Of the theater. A gentleman who saw
this singular performance said to me- THAT
reminds me of an incident which took place in
this very theater about dozen years ago. II
was while Fanny Davenport was playing an en-
gagement here. A young man, who was a clerk
at the Union Depot hotel, after rather lively
printing with the boys went to the Opera
house. He was a good looking fellow with
black moustache, and the figure he cut that
night was given color by his new light overcoat
and high silk hat By the time he reached the
theater it was pretty full, SO was he. But he
bought a ticket for parquet seat right down
front and with tolerably steady steps he made
his way to il. II was in the middle Of a scene.
What the play was don't remember. As he
reached his seat and was divesting himself of
bis loud overcoat Fanny Davenport came down
the stage to the footlights and said to the vii
lain who was counting her, but with her eyes to
the audience: i can never love theer She said
1T with great emphasis, and the handsome hotel
clerk arose from his seat, took up his hat and
overcoat and saying in q loud voice: WELL
that settles it, retraced his steps up the AISLE
while the audience burst into aroar of laughter
and applause"

MRS. MAVERICK IN PRISON.
Her Routine Of Life While Serving Her
Sentence in London.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
Mrs. Maybrick-almost forgotten now-ia
doing her nine months of solitary confinement,
and daily does an allotted task of needlework.
Those who follow the wretched woman's career
as 1t may be studied from time to time by the
prison bulletins will learn with interest that
there is considerable thought as to dress in
this prison, and as BELTS a lady's establish
ment. Even in prison, according to Mr.. F.
W. Robinson, variety of toilets is
customary. There is the probation class,
in which women for the first nine months wear
lilac cotton skirt in summer, with a blue
bodice, q square of serge for the shoulders. q
check blue and white apron, small white linen
cap with goffered border, and q plain, I'M
trimmed, coarse white straw bonnet Of what is
termed the cottage shape, and a very hideous
shape, to our masculine mind, it appears to be.
On Sundays white aprons and neckerchiefs are
worn. In winter the lilac dress is replaced by
thick blue serge, with a neckerchef Of the
same material, and a thick, fawn-colored cir
cular cape is also allowed for the shoulders
In the second nine months the prisoner is a
woman Of the third class, and wears in summer
plain blue cotton skirt with stripes, and a
square OF brown serge for the shoulders. The
bonnet and linen cap remain the same in style,
or distinguished, as it may be. for want OF
style, and white aprons and neckerchiefs again
winter the third class women wear brown
serge dresses and fawn-colored capes. In the
third nine months female convict becomes q
woman of the second class, and is allowed the
distinction of wearing full blue cotton skirt
with white spots, blouse bodice of the same
material and square of green serge for the
shoulders.
In winter she wears thick green serge gown,
the other details of dress being the same as in
the preceding class. In the fourth period OF
nine months she becomes woman Of the
first class, with little if any distinction from
the second, and this remains till she is
within nine months of the expiration of
the sentence, when-happy time for the fe-
male convict, with liberty so close at hand
again-she is dubbed woman of the special
class. Two children of Mrs. Maybrick have. by
the consent of their deceased fathers brothers
and of the Baroness Won Rogue, their grand
mother. been adopted by lady and gentleman
in London who are in good circumstances and
who will see to their maintenance and educa-
ton. The children (boy and girD will assume
the names of their foster parents, and thus, it
is hoped, in future life escape the stain attach
ing to the name Of their mother.

THE BUTLER-STRONG CASE.
Judge Cox Declines to Order Strong to
Produce Certain Papers.

In the Equity Court this morning Judge Coz
denied the motion made in the case Of Butler
agt Strong for an order requiring the defend
ant to produce certain papers. This motion
was argued yesterday by Mr.. o. d. Barrett fol-
the complainant and Col. W. A. Cook for de.
PENDANT. and the object was to have Strong pro
duce certain papers to show that an agreemen,
purporting to have been signed by Gen. Butler
is forgery.
The court this morning, in denying the mo.
ton. said that the object sought was in effect
an attempt to compel a man to produce evil
dence Of his own infamy or guilt, and this was
in violation OF the rights Of a citizen under the
Constitution Of the United States, and it was
beyond the powers Of the Equity Court to
issue such order.
Mr.. Barrett said that he would like time tc
present further argument and authority.
Mr.. Cook objected to any further proceed
ings, but if any further were proposed he would
be prepared
The court said that the case could 60 over
till Saturday.

President Hurt keads a PAPER.

The annual convention of the street railway
presidents of the United States opened in Min
neapolis yesterday. About 100 delegates were
in attendance. President Kerper reviewed
briefly the wonderful progress made in motive
power. The report of the executive commit
tee was then read. In regard to the Knights Of
Labor the report says: The association year
now closed has seen an almost total collapse of
the organization known as the Knights Of
Labor. so far at least as that portion is con-
cerned which attempted to dominate street
railway companies. 1t is our earnest
desire that there should be established in the
street railway business such a community Of
interest between labor and capital, the en-
ployer and employed, that perfect harmony
shall reign throughout the length and breadth
of this great industry"

The --latest Slang.

From the New York Sun
The latest slang? Yes, but you mustn't call it
that. In conversation it's .'le dernier cri."
You abhor pretty Dress" you wear "s fetch
ing gown" Your hat with its black birds upon
it is not stylish" it is "swagger," and you are
not acquainted with fashionable people, but
know all the ''swells." You no longer hate a
man. you simply don't like him little Bit"
You are not in society, but lin the SWIM" and
nothing succeeds, but it ''goes" You don't
cry when friend goes away, but you announce
that you are ''weak enough to blubber." What
would our grandmothers have said?
