FIDDLING FOR HARRISON.
Miss Wickham Enchants the Ears of
the President Elect.

An indianapolis special to the New York
sun gives an interesting account of how
Miss Wlckham charmed Gen. Harrison
with her violin, on last Friday. The dis
patch is as follows:
The rude clash of contending factions,
the monotonous droning Of the chorus of
office seekers, and the lrill squeals of the
fellows who find themselves left, gave way
at the Harrison residence this afternoon for
an hour 70 music Of different and pleas
anter sort. The American Opera Company

ELECTRIC HOUSE OoNvENIENCEs.
A Door Opener One of the Recent In
genious Inventions.

A Door Opener One of the Recent In
genious Inventions.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5-What will not our
electrical inventors do next?
One Of the ingenious members of the
New York Electrical Club has designed a
door opener, which relieves the disguised
traveller Or visitor from ths necessity of
showing a heavy mass of wood with his
hands, or Of wearing out the toes of his
boots in kicking it back.
A metallic plato set in the floor a foot
from the threshold is marked door opener
The caller treads upon it i'll the same style
as the peaceful street car horse tgeads upon
the clumsy iron switch plates which now
ornament every street where this style Of
locomotion Is III vogue. The plate yields a
quarter-inch to the pressure of the foot and
forms circuit which Immediately starts
tiny electromOtor that in turn opens the
door, despite door-sDrlng, air-valvs or coun-
ter-weieh-. The moment the visitor passes
in the plate is thrown back by a cJiled
spring to its former position, the circuit is
broken and the door closes itself with or
without a resonant bang as may be desired
With swing doors the plate is inset on
both sides of the portal. With double
church doors two pairs Of plates are ar
ranged so that the sexton can connect or
connected, the worshiper's foot opens both
doors, but when disconnected, only one.
Another electrical device of rec mt igin
has proved a failure. This was a clever
mechanism which, when the current was
turned on, threw OUT perfect deluge of
sparks and coruscatiols These were in
tended u create ozone. and destroy all
germs AID impurities in the air.
The machine was very pretty as a curio.
1t was brilliant mass of metal enclosed
in glass case aud fastened to the wall
near the ceiling. At twilight when the
machinery was in action, the effect was
magical. From revolving plate or cylinder
a mass of flames shot out unceasing which
Illuminated the room and cast the strangest
lustres imaginable. theoretically, the in
vention was all right; practically it was
otherwise. 1t heated the air and pro-
duced a queer odor of something
burning. 1t magletized the watch
works, knives and keys of every one in the
room, and every now and then would run
down or break off. One used in the Tombs
police court was finally taken out in dis
grace. The presiding judge said that all he
could see about the thing was that it made
the court room more d Sagreeable than ever,
aud that it had put his watch into such a
state that he could not tell within an hour
what time of the day it might be.

mains to be told But she is very much Of
a child in many ways, and would take this
cart ride for the sake of a new sensation and
for an innocent, childish lark" She has
little variety in her quiet, studious, country
life. Just before Mr.. Chanler left for
Paris she sent for a number of the colored
people, and to the music of the banjo and
the violin played by two of them the others
danced to the great entertainment of the
spectators. She paid them literally and
sent them away rejoicing. Her usual ex-
ercise is taken on horseback, dashing at
breakneck speed along the roads.
She is at present absorbed in writing
novel, and on this account declined to &C
company her husband, although to travel
in Europe has been one of the dreams Of her
life

AMELIE RIvEs IN AN OK CART.
The Poetess Enjoyed the Holidays
Distributing blankets to the Poor.


From the Nec York Herald
GOTHAM, VA, Jan. 1.-The last sensation
in regard to Amelie Rives Cha1ler has been
produced b. the news that she rode through
the rural district i'll the neignbor ODD Of
her residence, Castle Hill, in an OK cart
Doubtless this ride will become rs famors
as Jonu Gipins, or that Of Lady Godiva. II
bears a likeness to the latter, in taat botn
Godiva and Amelie, young and beautiful,
aud stirred with compassion, ride forth TO
save their people in distress.
For some tins past Mrs Chanler has be IN
dispensing charity to the poor around her
as sac heard of their need but recently,
It's said, she has sent for 800 worth Of
blankets and warm clothing, which she
presented in person at this festive season
from the body OF this unique chariot.
Those who have seen Amelie Riyes Chan
Ter can fancy her standing with her fair
hair in her new found car Of mercy, rad
iantly beautiful against the rough outlines
of the cart, like a lovely rose blushing
beside a rude hut, which serves as a foil to
its beauty.
Perhaps she was nearer happiness, as
she looked with moist eyes into the up
turned faces around her. than she had ever
been before. She is turning from her self
centered life 10 consider the woes OF others.
Surely this is one Of the points on which hap
piness catches the light.
There are those who impugn her motives
and accuse her Of a desire for notoriety
only IN this new fad But while Thack-
cray teac es US to look for mixed motives
in the actions OF all, let US give 10 the lady
in question the benefit Of the doubt, and
admire these generous deeds as done from a
compassionate heart. Certainly these live
acts are better than the dead words of ITO
all women in which all is mere sentimen-
tally except what is sacrllegiols.
