She Downed John 1.-The Impulse to

An American Gift to the Princess
Louise.
Georgia has produced another woman
who is as full of electricity, or something
very like it, as the wonderful Lulu Hurst,
of the same State, who used to
throw big men around without
much trouble. This woman, who gave
a private exhibition last night
at Ford's to a few spectators, is Mrs. An
ME Abbott, of Milledgeville, Is petite body
of only ninety-eight pounds. She is a
blonde of twenty-three years and of pleas
ing appearance. When seven years of
age she went up to her fathers chair one
day and astonished him by saying she
childish remark, but she put her hands
N the chair and it came up from the
floor. From that day it was apparent
TINT she mad more than muscular power.
Last night there were half a dozen or so
pretty heavy and strong men on the stage,
but she was more than a match for any or
all. A man sat in an ordinary chair,
leaned back on it's rear legs, and when
Mrs. Abbott simply put her hands under
his ears the chair and man jumped up
about three inches.
Five men were her piled upon the chair
the heaviest 216 pounds and all the
Others over 160-and when she laid her
hands on the big mans ears the chair
jumped up again. She stood on one foot
and let a billiard u rest in her hands
without g%rasping it, and One, two and
three men could not push her owe The
combined weight of the three men exert
ing all their muscular power was over
four hundred pounds. She pushed them
all about the stage. Heavy men sat in a
rockingham, and with her fingers just
touching the back they could MOI rock.
The 2l6-pounder and Others put their
hands under her elbows and tried with
might and main to lift the ninety-eight
pounds, but in vain. In none Of the
trials could the men do anything with
her.
Several years ago she was at the Hot
Springs in Arkansas, when she was
matched against John Il. Sullivan, but the
brute slugger could do nothing with her.
When she has her hands on the chair, or
on IN wooden substance, she waits about
a minute and suddenly the power comes,
but the muscles do not become rigid. She
says the feats never tire her, but just be-
fore a trial she feels nervous and weary.
She sleeps well after throwing strong peo-
pie about. She must stand on wood n
operate with wooden chains and sticks.
When in contact with carpets n iron
she can do nothing. Recently, when ex-
hibiting in the South, somebody connected
a wire with her body and grounded it, and
Immediately she was powerless. When
n pushes against her the impression is
that of the resistance of a wall. She looks
quite delicate, She is q quiet lady and
very modest.-Bdltimore american.

A BEAUTIFUL SAIL.

Party Nowadays.
In the clear air of these late summer
days the sail along the East River and the
Sound to Glen Island is especially pleas
ant. The beautiful view stands out sharp
and distinct, and the breeze come in from
the Sound with just enough GOODNESS to
make the air delicious. At the Island
everything that one car desire is in readi-
ness. Never before were there so many
picnic parties making this beautiful resort
their goal as at the present time.
Family parties find it the best of the
nearby resorts. Boats leave the pier be-
side the Cortlandt Street Ferry Slip at
frequent intervals, and the round trip
cos.s only forty centss

Captain Smiths Extreme Case"

Captain Smiths Extreme Case"
While we agree with Mayor Cleve-
land that his prerogative of removing
should only be exercised in extreme
cases, we SEEM, theoretically, to be of
somewhat different opinion from him
as to what constitutes an extreme
case. He does not, we gather,
regard the delinquency of Captain
Christopher P. Smith in that light,
and, perhaps, seeing that his first duty
is conservatism, he is right in giving
Captain Smith and the Commissioners
all possible latitude.
But we must insist that there is O.
point at which this indulgence ceases
to be justitiable, and at which the
case becomes one of extreme delin-
quency. Does not the Mayor agree
with US that if this accomplished
criminal, Annie Jones, continues
through the intervention of Captain
Christopher P. Smith, to evade the
penalty of her offences, the case be-
comes an extreme one2 In New York,
police officials are most properly for
hidden to become security for prison
ers, and the same rule should be
applied here. Certainly friendly re-
latiops with a professional criminal,
such as Captain Smiths action pre-
supposes, constitute no small public
scandal, to take the most lenient
view of the case. Assuredly,
if he were a scrupulous man, or had
a proper respect for his W good
name, he would spend the last cent
in his possession, and strain every
effort of his detective understanding
he really did not know where she was
to find her and bring her back to the
bar of justice.
The point for the Mayor to consider
is whether a stage in the scandal will
not soon be reached when the Police
Commissioners will become tacit
accessories to this business of
criminal shielding by their fail
ure to take cognizance of Cap
tain Smiths conduct. They have
as yet given no order, placed no pres
sure upon Smith to arouse him to a
sense of duty. They have not even
demanded any explanation of his con
duct. If they fail to do this, and if
the Mayor will not see the case as an
extreme one, it seems to us the city is
in a bad way.
Chief Murphy, with characteristic
amiability, tries to make out the best
case he can for his subordinate; but
really he only makes the matter worse.
He says Smiths declaration that he
knew where the woman was, was
mere bluff. He does not believe Smith
knows her whereabouts.
That is very bad indeed. Smith, If
he knew where she was, might plead
some motives of policy for delaying
her production. 1t would be thin, but
it might pass. But the admission that
after making himself responsible
for her appearance, he failed to take
any steps to make his guarantee
good, even to the point of losing
sight of her, is to stamp him as utterly
false to his trust and wholly unfit to
hold any position upon the police
force.

Henry Seymour, a native of Milwaukee
Wis, came East four years ago and mar
ried one of Hoboken's prettiest girls. He
deserted her several weeks ago, and she
located him in Tarrytown, N. Y. day be-
fore yesterday.
She got a warrant for his arrest, and
accompanied by Policeman Weeks, he
went there yesterday, and he

abandonment.

rested and locked up in Police Headquar-
tiers, Hoboken. While here he tried to
kick the bars out of his cell and raised a
terrible disturbance.

Journals practise of splitting its
stories up between the front and back
pages to save the cost of casting a
plate. The symbolism is made still
more exact by the fact that after the

The Doctors Disagree,

Doctor Samuel A. Helfer's communica-

last evening has created widespread
alarm. The doctor says that diphtheria
is raging in the sister city.
DIR. Irving Simon says that DIR. Heller
is a gross ~prevaricator of the truth, and
that the city of Hoboken is now in as
healthy a condition as ever it was.
Doctors differ and patients die.

who lives at No. 264 First street, went into

and said tina a young man, whose name
she did not know, had a few minutes
before taken her by the hand and
given her such a wrench that she feared
her shoulder had been d~islocated. DIR.
Heller examined the girls shoulder blade
and found to his surprise that that part of
her anatomy had been injured. He APP
piled the usual remedies.

The Speed of Fish.

The speed Of fishes is almost an IN
known quantity, being, az Professor G..
Brown Goode says, very difficult to meas
ure. IF you could get a fish, and put
him in a trough of water 1000 feet long,
and start him at one end and make him
swim to the other without stopping, the
information could be easily obtained, but
fish are unintelligent, and they won't do
this. Estimates of the speed of fish con-
sequently are only Appropriated, and
more or less founded on guessing You
can tell, however, at a glance whether a
fish is built for speed or not. A fast fish
looks trim and pointed, like a yacht. Its
down close to its body, like a knife blade
close to its handle. Fish with large heads,

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore has a sense of
humor which is strong enough to make
her relish a joke, even when it is at her
own expense, and to relate it afterwards
with gusto. There is nothing that she

workers about her and amuse them with
stories for a few moments-and then off
to work again. One of these stories
which Mrs. Livermore tells about herself
is this:-She went to a town in Maine to
