A SMOOTH WOMAN.
Who Works the HOusekeeper.
Racket Successfully -

1toChSl
On Sunday, May IL, an advertisement
was placed in the GLOBE for a house
keeper at a club house on Ninth street.
About II a. m. of the same day woman
applied for the place, saying she had
just arrived: from Leavenworth. Kan.
She gave her name. as Mrs. Jennie
Williams. and claimed to be the widow
of Col.7 Williams, who was killed at the
Custer massacre. A few days after her
installation she introduced a boy of
fourteenor fifteen years, who she
claimed was the son of a very dear
friend of hers, who, when dying, had
asked her to look after him. She
wanted the boy to board at the house so
she could .'look after him. promising
to- pay his board. In few days another
boy arrived from Chicago, who was a
brother of the first, and he also was
installed at the house. Still another
the first. As she thought he would bea
company for the others, she wantedE
him to stay also. she agreeinga
to pay all their board. She's
said the reason of their calling hers
mother. was that she had brought them
I'D. Their names were Mitchell. Next
she introduced an old man, who, she
claimed, was father of the boys andi
who worked on the GLOBE. She
wanted him to have room also at the
house.. She said he was very hard
drinker and was very jealous of her Ont
account of the way she had taken care
of his boys. He came up and looked at
a room on the 10Th of June, but never
returned, having. as she said, gone on a
periodical spree and left for Minneapo-s
lis. On July 9 bills were presented
to the proprietor of the house, which5
were supposed to be paid, and, upon in
vestigation, it was discovered that $50
had been entrusted to her to pay butcher
bills on June 5, but they had not been
paid, and that the bill had been marked
by her by cash, $780," in order to show
where the money went Other bills
were found to have been treated
in the same manner. Her SuS-
picionS were evidently aroused that
things were not going her way,
as she packed her hand grip and de-
camped that afternoon with the boys
and a servant girl employed in the
house, taking all the gentlemen's UNI
derwear she could get. smuggling the
same out in a trunk belonging to the
girl; but she forgot to take number of
knives and forks which she brough with
her and which had the names of differ
ent hotels stamped on them. The
woman is forty -eight years old, weighs
239 pounds, dark complexion with small
dark eyes and hair beginning to turn in
some parts. She always dresses III

The new stone pavement about the
court house block, and the square flags
in the walks, offer great opportunities
to the "crack walker" Did you ever
notice 5one?' A man sat on the stone
coping of the front portico yesterday
and observed. in philosophical way:
people who walk have their pecul-
iaritieS-some look steadily into the
windows of other peoples houses;
some stare into the face OF every
one whom they chance to meet;
some seem 10 have an eye only for the
vehicles and horses on the roadway;
some watch the house numbers OF
buildings along the street, evidently
basing some calculation on the odd
and even figures: some undoubtedly
mind :. their business while they
walk. The, strangest walker is the
the sidewalk. The cracks between the
flag stones of the sidewalk are the OBJ
jects of his thoughts. So absorbed does
he become in tEeir contemplation that
even the unavoidable collisions with
and joStlingS of other pedestrians rouse
himsonly for a moment. On the crowded
shopping streets the crack-Stepper must
be an unmitigated nuisance; here ne is
simply a harmless fool. There is one of
them. Watch .him!"
And so-he was. AS he walked on from
Fourth street he carefully stepped over
every crack in a singular way. Never
once did he allow his foot to touch line.
Now long step and now short one
followed, and as he walked around the
curve toward Wabasha he might easily
have been taken for all inebriate.
An Oakland avenue man has had
some experience with an invention pc
culiarly his own. His house was filled
with flies, and after he had carefully
screened every window and door, he
was puzzled to know how to get rid of
the flies he had Gagged. In his bed room
the lively insects were particularly an
noying, and at last he hit upon an eX-
pedient. Carefully closing the windows
and doors, he turned OH the gas and left
the room. For three hours the gas
spurted, and the air in the room grew
deadly with the poison. Finally he con-
cluded that the flies must be sufficiently
asphyXiated. He opened the door,
and, holding his breath. made dash,
turned Off the gas and opened the
windows. The fresh air soon swept
out the gas, and to his joy
he found flies lying about the window
stills, dead as mackerels. Jubilant over
his experiment, he went down stairs
while the room gained its normal at
mOSphere. An hour later he returned,
and lOl the fresh air had restored every
fly, and the SWarms buzZed about and
butted their heads against the screens
as merrily as of yore. The Oakland
avenue man only swears softly to him
self; but when he gets his gas bill, next
3lonth, he will lose his standing in
church circles.

OBITUAR
Mrs. Hannah Mcdonald,

OF this city, after eight long and weary
years of continued sickness and suffer
ing, has entered into eternal rest. Dur
ing the earlier part of her active and
useful life she was the faithful friend
and guardian of the early childhood of
three generations of children. The
greater number of these recipients of
her care preceded her to the better
land. Those who survive will cherish
her memory, and may well emulate her
example of faithful discharge of all du-
ties to which it pleased her God to call
her; her cheerful and patient fortitude
In suffering, and her increasing and
steadfast faith in the mercy and love OF
her Saviour and Redeemer. 81. 0.
