The Princess OF Wales has been very
stern and particular In the education Of
her daughters. She has had good material
to work upon, as her girls are clever by
nature. The Princess has taken great
pride in their accomplishments and feels
that her discipline has been extremely ben.
efcisl. The Prince of Wales has some.
times pleaded with her in vain to give heI
daughters holiday. She has often an.
swered that, as they were to hold high So
ciai positions, they had no time TO waste
while acquiring social graces.

Journalism has killed literature, and re-
porting is killing Journalism 1t is the last
gasp OF tho dying literature of IN epoch; it Is
tho man Of letters replaced by tho concierge"
So exclaims NJ Albert Millaud, in one Of his
witty articles III The Figaro.
In America, reporting has simply overrun,
swallowed up journalism 1t is demolition
of tho wall Of private life, the substitution of
gossip for chronicle of chatter for criticism.
For tho interviewer nothing is sacred.
Audacity is his stock in trade; the most pri-
yate details Of your daily life aro at his
mercy, and unless you blow his brains cut
which is not lawful in New York state--you
have no means Of getting rid of him.
There is no question too indiscreet for these
enterprising inquisitors; they would have
interviewed St Anthony in his hut.
Do not shout victory either because you
have succeeded in getting rid of the inter-
viewer without replying to his questions, It
is in such cases that tho American journalist
reveals himself in all his glory. To your
stupefaction the newspapers next day will
have an account of tho conversation which
you might have had with their reporters.
If my advice bo worth giving tho best
thing you Gun do when tho interviewer pre-
sents himself and says, 81 am reporter, sir,
and havo como to ask you for u few mo-
lnents' chat, " is to say to him:
.'Mad to SEQ sou, sir; pray be seated"

wife Josie, living ON Throop street, had taken
their child into the cellar, where they bound
her with ropes and laid q heavy ladder across
her breast, The girls cries attracted the at
tention OF II woman living next door, who
rescued the child. The Gurleys were taken
before magistrate, where the circumstances
Of their inhuman conduct were told The
little girl told every body TINT her name was
Flora Della Gurley, and that she was the
daughter Of her tormentors. This appeared
strange i'll view Of the fact that Josie Gurley
is yet Il young woman, not over 2l years at
most. The magistrate was inclined to deal
severely with the couple, but on Gurley's
plea that Ills wife was in delicate condition
let him 60 under q suspended fine Of $50. The
child was turned over to the Home for the
Friendlcss, where she still gave the same
name Of Gurley.
A short time ago a lady, q neighbor Of the
Redmonds wishing to adopt q child, went
with another lady to the Home for the Friend
less, where She accidentally discovered little
Annie Redmond III the kindergarten. The
little girl still said her name was Gurley, and
Oh being asked il she had no other name gave
the name of Annie Redmond, but said that
the woman who had stolen her had forced her
to tell every one that her name was Flora
Dell Gurley. She was taken home to her
mother, who was beside herself with joy, and
her father was brought from the insane
asylum. The recovery of his child has almost
entirely restored his reason, and he will soon
be all right again.
The little girl told narrowing story Of tho
cruelty Of the Gurleys, and when tho latter
were arrested they told several conflicting

and his wife were also arrested as being
accomplices in the kidnapping. Parsons, who
was called grandpa by Annie Redmond
(being forced to do so by the Gurley woman)

great excitement in the neighborhood, the
peculiar features Of the case being much dis
cussed in the newspapers

The Little Chicago Girl Whose Abduction
Aroused So Mncl, Interest.
The pages Of fiction tell few stranger stories
than that of little 6-year-old Annie Tessfe
Redmond, the little Chicago girl who was
Kidnapped about a year ago and recently dis.
covered In founding asylum by accident.
The little girl was Kidnapped on March %,
1888. She was playing in vacant LOT, with
boy companion, when she was approached
by strange woman and enticcd away by
promises. The police worked hard on the
case, urged on by tho piteous and constant
appeals of her father, well to do black
smith, who, besides, offered large rewards
and traversed tho country in search OF his
missing daughter.
AL search was fruitless, yet at no time has
the child been outside Of radius Of ten miles
Of her fathers home. Grief and worry finally
told on the fond father, and the embers Of
his forge died out, and his busy blows in his
shop stopped He thought only OF the child
until he lost hope, and was finally looked
upon as a mental wreck. Not long ago he
was taken to tho Kankakee Insane asylum
Soon after an officer of the Humane So
ciety was called upon to investigate the case
Of child which had been cruelty abused.
