MARY ANDERSON.
Something About Her Health and Habits
Not Generally Known.

From the Brooklyn Earle.
There is much difference of opinion in pri-
vsts circles over the reports Of Mary Anderson's
insanity. Abbey contradicts it everywhere aud
with considerable heat; goes near 70 losing his
temper IL any incrsdulity is expressed, but those
who have talked with him insist that he is very
vague In answering searching inquiries and
adroitly avoids saying anything as to her exact
whereabouts. Others draw differences from the
manner of young Griffith, her half brother. He
looks somewhat like his famous sister, except
that his coloring is dark. but has two much of
her sumness and delicacy of feature to be ss
attractive looking man as she is a woman.
HIS home IL up at Irvington, on the Hudson.
man who saw her Just before she left for
England, and very few did see her then, tells
me that at that time her mind seemed to be
clear enough, but that she was entirely unable
to hold anything in her hands. The brain had
lost control over the muscles, and she did not
take hold OF anything breakable because, no
matter how hard she might will to carry glass
to her lips, she could not be sure that her fingers
would not become suddenly nerveless and the
crystal fall from them with q crash. The ply
sicians look upon this as an almost unfailing
sign OF
APPROACHING PAREsIs;
that Is, II 1t does not follow after long and Sc
we're Illness when it is quite possible to be mere
feebleness and long disuse Of certain muscles.
Some publications have been base enough to
hint at disgraceful causes for poor Miss Ander-
sons affection, but no one who knows her will
credit such charge for an instant. Indeed,
the main cause of her trouble was an excess of
religious feeling. She is devout Catholic and
her illness made itself apparent Just toward the
close of Lent when she had been fasting and
praying with undue rigor. According to the
habit Of devout Catholic women she rose every
morning at o'clock during the sackclotb sea-
son and went to the early mass without break
ing her fast by even as much as q cup of coffee
She was on her knees for an hour or more and
always came home terribly fatigued. This
would have been bad enough for any woman,
but for one with delicate physique and nerv-
Gus temperament, who acted every night and
never got to bed before l o'clock. such be-
havior was simply suicidal. Her friends and
manager demonstrated with all their might,
but quite unavailingly. When woman is
the subject of an emotional fervor reason has
no influence upon her; it only confirms her
in her unreason. 1t was plain enough to any,
one in perfectly sane condition that it was
fairly criminal to refuse an overworked system
its legitimate rest and nourishment, but it
was not the first time, it will not be the last,
that good women have committed crimes
against themselves and others in the name
Of religion.

A Chief of Police Shot.

About O'Clock yesterday morning. as Chief
of Police CASTOR was walking around the Jail
at Jackson, Tenn, he was fired upon by COL
ored men, receiving ten buckshot in his face
and neck. He will die. Several co!ored men
were lying around the Jail in the weeds and
grass, supposing that the colored porter of the
Arlington hotel. who is in Jail for assisting a
young white girl to elope, was to be lynched
during the night. When discovered by CASTOR
they started to run, and being fred upon re-
turned the fire, with the above result. No ar
rests have been made

A Chance for Another Trust.

from the New York Graphic.
Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Chas
E. Coon startled some of his friends at the Fifth
Avenue hotel last night by announcing that he
had - great scheme, with millions in it" He
went on very gravely to say: 1T is the starting
OF an immense ranch for raising guinea pigs
and puppy dogs, which will come in great de-
mand by reason OF DR.. Brown-Sequard's dis
covery Of the elixir OF life." Then Mr.. Coon
smiled broadly and the crowd laughed at the
palpable SELL when Mr.. Coon remarked: .'See
here, gentlemen, that proposition il tame,
commonplace, practical and sensible, compared
with three-fourths of the schemes presented
for consideration in New York banking houses

The Cambridge Den of Infamy.

A Smart Sheriff.

Sam Hutson escaped from the New Castle
(DeL) Jail in mysterious manner. Another
prisoner named Dan Carson, notorious
tough informed the sheriff that he knew ex-
actly where Hutson was going and could point
out the house in which the escaped prisoner
was hiding The sheriff and Carson went to
Enon valley, fourteen miles from New Castle
Carson came to a house which he said was the
one In which Hutson would be found. At the
suggestion of the sheriff Carson started for the
house, and as he got out Of sight that was the
last seen of prisoner No. 2. The parties who
reside in the house said that Carson walked
right past and when he had gone a short dis
lance started on a run. The sheriff returned to
New Castle last evening with no clue to the
whereabout Of either Of the prisoners.

Colored Competition With White Labor.

Colored Competition With White Labor.
But the negro problem is to be viewed
from other staLdpoints than that of the
farmer. There is wide difference be-
tween the educated and uneducated
negro. AS soon as the negro acquires
some knowledge of books" he deserts
his cotton patch and seeks other means
of making a livelihood. AS yet but little
is seen of him in the mercantile or pro-
fesSional world, but as mechanic he is
making himself felt all over the South
in some communities he has actually
driven the white mechanic to the wall
and is making 8; comfortable living at
prices 25 to 80 per cent. less than the
white man can afford to work for. Why?
Because it costs him little or nothing to
live, and not because ne is a more
skilled workman than the white man.
Where the latter is required to spend
two dollars in the support of himself
and family the negro will get along
ou fifty cents. The white mechanic has
to feed and clothe himself, wife and
children and pay house rent, all out of
his wages; but not so with his colored
competitor. The wife of the latter prob
ably cooks for you and you
usually furnish your cook with a
house on the premises to live in.
Thus the negro mechanic saves house
rent and is fed by his wife, Hill chill
dren are fed in the same way and if any
of them are large enough they are hired
out too, and thus help to swell the in
conc of the family. He buys good

little or nothing. It ..iu L. .,oou, tncre-
fore, that his daily expenses are practi-
cally nothing when compared with those
of the white mechanic. And while he
may do inferior work, it is nevertheless
a fact he is gradually elbowing the white
mechanic on. OF the way, in many
places at least, accenting work at prices
at which it is literally impossible for the
white mechanic to i've Lancaster Re-

Governor Hill,s Victory.

NEW YORK, October 4.-The New
York Democratic State ticket is before
the people. It is supposed to be Gov.
Hills very own, since it is the unbroken
slate he gave out before the convention
met. The Objectionable persons sup.
posed to be affected by the fraud on the
State treasury, done through the bills
for repairing the ceiling of the Assem-
bly,, are still there in spite of the OBJ
jections of the New York delegation.
Yet this is supposed to be great Hill
victory. The platform stands true to
the tariff line, and the excise problem
is dealt with according to honest Demo
cratic principles. The platform is all
right, and Republican discords make it
almost impossible that the candidates
standing on 1T can be beaten. The
leaning of majority of the new State
committee is to Mr.. Hills interest, but
the proceedings show that Mr.. Hills in
terest as far as the important section of
the party in the big cities is not quite as
securely rated as it might be. He is
neither feared nor trusted by the New
York or Kings County factions.

the property of Louis Cherry, a colorcd

to have been mad and which had to be

everything it came in contact with. 1t

Irony Of Fate.

Much has been written about the

made on it is the following from the

It was cruel irony of fate that the

Thursday morning to welcome the ad-
vent of new daughter into the house

same time that another, a deserted
daughter, the wife Of the family's pet,
J. G. Blaine, Jr., was tossing about
wildly on sick bed in this city.
Almost at the same moment that the
happy young bridal couple were start

afectionate farewells of relatives and
friends, DrS. Wynkof and Scudder
were administering ehloroform to the
sick wife here to make her removal pos

coach, the young mother in New York,
