A JAPANESE TATTOOER.
His Professional Talents Bring Him IN
Income Of %, 900 . Year.

Prom the New York Sun.
A japanese tsttooer Of great skin and rspu-
tation has recently opened . studio in Hong
Kong. He receives his visitors in . small Office
full Of fans, screens, topsy-turvy pictures and
sharp corners. On big table In the middle OF
the room are pattern books. The visitors tells
whether he wishes humorous, pathetic, senti-
mental or religious emblem tattoosd on his per.
son, and, according to his answer, receives .
volume Of humorous, pathetic, sentimental or
religious designs for examination. Most per-
sons choose none Of these designs because they
are too expensive. The tattooing with repre-
sensations Of animals il the cheapest and the
most popular. A butterfly costs but d, three
butterflies e. So five butterflies - 4 dragon,
the most expensive animal, costs SIS.
After the customer has chosen his design the
the door Of which hangs this notice: Il never
work while I am drunk" The customer lies
on couch and bares the limb on which the
design Is to be done. The operator then pricks
in the skin with fine needles the lines Of the
animal or scene ordered. He applies q little
spot he has pricked and the Job 10 done. He
can prick three butterflies in about forty min
utes. The execution Of big dragon, however,
occupies five hours. A day or two after the
operation the skin about and above the design
comes of and all the lines become clear.
The masterpiece Of the Japanese tattooer ID
the representation of little fan covered with
human figures. This bit of tattooing sdorns
the forearm Of young English woman in
Hong Kong. The operator himself hasn't an
unadorned square inch Of skin on his body.
Snakes, birds, CATTLE women, picnics, dinner
parties and steam ships in wild hodge-podgs
cover his back, chest, legs and arms. His in.

Luthern Church Troubles i'm Hagerstown
The County Democratic Convention.

Correspondence Of TEE EVENING STAR.
HAaERsrowN, September 4.
The dissatisfaction in Trinity Lutheran

which sprung up during the absence in Europe
OF the pastor, Lev. E. H. DeIk, has spread to
the other English Lutheran congregation here
that Of st. Johns, of which Rev. s. W. Owen is
the pastor. The difficulty all grows out Of the
hturgical form of worship, the malcontents
claiming to worship according to their own
dictates and not to be bound down by synodical
edicts. The discontinued ones have, through
a committee, issued call, which is published
in the home paper, for a meeting at Western
Enterprise hall next Saturday evening for the
purpose of organizing the Third Evangelical
Lutheran church of Hsgerstown." Rev. Delk

THE LATE LADY COMBERMERE
The Brilliant Career of a Beautiful
Irish Girl in English Society.

From the Irish Weekly Times.
The late Lady Combermere, who died some
two weeks ago in London, was one of the dozen
Irish gentiewomen who had SO much weight in
English society thirty or forty years ago. She
was the beautiful Miss Gibbings, daughter of an
Irish physician of great wealth residing in Dub
lin, and it was doubtless the dazzling military
record of Field Marshal Viscount Com bermere
which touched the heart Of the winsome beauty.
She became his third wife when he was we'll on
to eighty, and SO well did she succeed that he
lived to his ninety-fourth year. II kept my
lord alive with old sherry" was Lady Comber-
meres own concise description of her system.
Lady Combermere could never be induced to
make a second marriage. When her mourning
was over she began to entertain largely and
her house in London was one of the most nota-
bic for many years. She detested the country
with all its works and ways. Her house was
gaily and rather Enthusiastically furnished with
abundance of gliding, looking glass, artificial
flowers and colored lamps. She was very fond
of assembling her friends at elaborate lunch
con parties, when the blinds were always drawn
down and the candles covered with rose col
ored shades, because it is so much more be-
coming to all our compilations" Smartness,
splendor, show and fashion were her delight,
but she admired talents and accomplishments
scarlely less. ''Will you come and meet few
clever people?" was her favorite form Of in
vitation, and however clever the guests might
be 1t was pretty certain that they would not
outshine their hostess. She had a truly Irish
wit, excelled in repartee. loved a good story
and was an expert in all the thrusts and passes
of social sword play.
One of her ladyship's detestations was a rail-
way train. She always travelled herself in her
own carriage whenever the distance was under
100 miles, riding in family coach of ancient
type, driven at remarkable deliberate iog-trot
John, you know how a hearse is driven?"
''Yes, my lady," "Well, drive me at that pace
was her graphic code of instruction to a new
coacbman. II ever it was necessary for her to
travel she always chose Sunday for her journey,
because there was less chance Of being run into
by an excursion train.
She died OF extreme old age, but possessed OF
all her faculties

THEY PARTED HANDS.
Superstition That Did Not Save Big
amist From Conviction.

George Bowermaster of Cumberland county,
Pa, was before Judge Steuart at Chambers
burg yesterday, charged with bigamy, and the
defense set up by him revealed queer super
stition that is current among country people.
The defendant did not deny the second mar
riage, but attempted to justify 1t ON the ground
that he did not think he was really married to
wife No. l. It appears that while the first
marriag ceremony was being performed the
groom and bride accidentally parted their
hands, and Bowermaster was told afterward
tnat this made the marriage not binding and
that this was common superstition among the
people. Judge Steuart did not take much
stock IN this explanation and gave Bowermas-
ter one year in the penitentiary.

ANOTHER FALSE WITNESS
WEAK ON GEOGRAPHY.
Mistakes of the Romancer Who Sent Out
the YeIlowstone Park Canard.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, March 12.-within the past
few weeks specials from Cheyenne, Wyoming,
have been published all over the United States
giving accounts of various kinds Of crimes and
Casualties. These have been doubted by those
acquainted with the out-of-the-way regious
mentioned, but no positive denial has vet been
published Sunday the Cheyenne special cor
respondent sent ont most blood-curdiing ac-
count of the killing of five French tourists in
Yellowstone Park. Yesterday General Passen-
ger Agent Chas. y. Fee, Of the Northern Pacific
made the following statement in answer 10 a
question regarding the probability of the story:
The article says Gerry the guide was win
tering IN Montana and picked up there a party
OF five French tourists who were en- route from
the Pacific coast. In this case they must have
come over the Northern Pacific east, and IL
contemplating winter trip through the park
would have outfitted either ut Bozeman or Liy-
ngston, preferably the latter point which ia
but fifty miles from Cinnabar on the park
boundary, which point can be reached during
the winter months on our park branch trains
three times per week. 1t is further stated that
they journeyed in emlgrant wagons and for
three weeks they camped IN Rattiesnake canon
where the tourists were murdered Rattle
Snake canon II on the old overland route from
Cheyenne, a station on the Union Pacific about
800 miles southeast OF the park. This line as a
route to the park was practically abandoned
when the Northern Pacific completed its park
branch 20 Cinnabar IN 1853. To have reached
Rattle Snake canon, Gerry, who is represented
as wintering IN Montana, must have taken
the people from some station on our
line, possibly Helena. TO Cheyenne,
a distance OF about eight hundred miles.
proposition SO ridiculous as 20 make the
canard more laughable even than the story
about the outlaws In 3ians and the mysterious
disappearance of Gerry, who was to conduct q
searching party to the park 70 inter the re-
mains Of the tourists murdered at a point some
three hundred miles south OF the
southern boundary of the Yellowstone park.
None Of our agents at Livingston. Bozeman or
Helena know OF any party attempting TO make
the trip to the park this winter, and supt.
Lamertine, in charge OF roads and bridges in
the park for the past five years. wires me that
there rs no such place as Rattle Snake canon in
the park; no scout in the park named Gerry
and no party of tourists, and that no Indian
has been near the park for over two yearA
The whole report is q hoax on the face of IL y
