Of money he consoled himself in the
company of those who were off colsr
like himself, till he met the unfortun
ate creature who was buried at Wood
lawn last Thursday. She occupied
house belonging to her so-called
husband, and masqueraded as his
wife for three years past. But there
was no marriage, for she had a hus
band living named Burgold, and
Travls's notorious wife only died a
short time ago. 1t was said that
William Travis, Reve:dy Johnson's
flther, gave his sons wife ferty thous-
and dollars to break off the connec-
ton. A week ago Mrs. Travis went
riding in Reverdy Johnsons Travs's
pony shay, when the horse became
fractious, the shay Was upset, and
Mrs. Trayis fractured her skull and
died on Tuesday. 1t was then that
the manner OF this mans notorious
life was made public. 1t is only a
few months ago since Robert Raw
Hamilton, descendant of the great
Alexander Hamilton, and himself
occupying an honored position as a
Senator from New York, married a
notorious woman who is now serv-
ing term in New Jersey State Pris.

Wondering about down town on
Thursday | stepped into Silo's Auc-
ton Room and saw there a case OF
Jewels such as seldom finds its way
under an auctioneer's hammer |
never saw the owner but once, and
that was on the FIRST presentation OF
the Wagner Faust at the Metropolis
tan Opera House a few years ago
She WAS conspicuous figure in one
of the private boxes; and fairly
blozed with diamonds and other pre-
clous stones She had a gentleman
escort in full dress, and to all AZ
pearance was quite as respectable a.
any Of the persons about her. Il
was some time before her identit,
was discovered, and | assure you i,
was a dreadful shock TO the foul
hundred and the management, which
has always pridcd itself on its care
fal supervision of its audiences. Yet
here were her Jewels spread out be.
fore envious and eager eyes, dealers
watching for bargains, her frail coz.
panions waiting to buy souvenirs,
others merely CURIOUS for the show.
She led many TO ruin, and left be
hind as the wages Of her sin two
hundred thousand dollars. But
when death came at last she wanted
none OF the momcntoes of her evil
days to be worn by those whose in.
nocence was yet rnc'ouded, so she
ordered that everything belonging to
her should be turned into cash and
the money distributed among her
relativcs.s

Powerful Lord Arthur Cecil.

"With reference to your statement
that the new Westphalian strong man,
Goliath, once laid cow upon its back
by its horns, it may interest your read
ers," writes correspondent, "to know
that Lord Arthur Cecil, half-brother OF
Lord Salisbury, once told me similar
incident in connection with himself.
Lord Arthur, though short nar, IS OF
giant physique and enormous strength.
He was one day walking through a field
on his farm at Innerleithcp, when young
bull rushed at him. Instead of turning
tail, Lord Arthur coolly seized the AMI
NAL by the horns and pushed him back,
wriggling and struggling, inch by inch,
till he had got him into his stall, where
he left him covering and trembling all
over.
"This," continues our correspondent,
ssis not a cock-and-bull story. 1t was
Lord Arthur who on one occasion when
travelling by rail bade his new man-serv-
ant get the tickets, which the man did,
procuring two frst-class tickets aud
seating himself in the same carriage with
his master. Lord Arthur said nothing
at the moment, but next time he bought
the tickets himself, one tirst-class, one
third, and, giving the man the frst-class
ticket, he travelled third himself" Our
correspondent seems to think that herein
Lord Arthur finally scored. But really,
to round off the tale, it ought to be added
that on the next occasion the servant,
being intrusted with the task, took two
third-class tickets. Pail Nall Gazette.

CALIFORNIA; Cork Culture.

The available forests Of cork trees are
already relatively extensive, although
hardly sufficient to supply the demands
now made on them, or which as the
world grows in prosperity, must be made
on them, for thereis hardly any end to
the uses for cork, and none of the SUBJ
stitutes for it which have yet been tried
are very satisfactory or promise to take
its place to any great extent, says an e1-
change.
The latest estimates of existing areas
of available cork oak forests make their.
extent from 100000 to $500, 900
acres, of which about one-half, including
those on its African possessions, belong
to France. The wood of the cork oak
is heavy, grained and of yellow
brown color; it shrinks and warps badly
in seasoning, and decays rapidly when
exposed to to the action of the atmos-
phere. 1t had little value in the arts,
but furnishes a useful fuel and makes
good charcoal. The inner bark is rich
in tannin, and trees too old or unfit to
produce cork are cut for the sake of the
inner bark.
The cork oak is an interesting tree to
Americans, as its cultivation now seems
destined to become an important indus
try in California, where the climate and
the soil in many parts of the State are
admirably suited to produce it. This is
NOT q mere theory. az trees have been
growing now for several years in Cali.
fornia, and have already produced crops
of cork of excellent quality. 1t proba-
bic that the tree will grow rather more
rapidly in California than it does in its
native country, although the quality of
the soil, the exposure in which the trees
are placed, local climate and the treat
ment which the trees receive will in
fuence, of course, the rapidity with
which the bark is developed.-Nep York

Caste in Southern India.

The caste system in India is terribly
strict. The Pulleahs and Caanekars (the
latter the lowest of ally are wretched
creatures, the former only being privileged
to wear garment reaching to their knees
and fllet on their heads, also to EN-:
ploy BARRIERS. The Caanekars are never
allowed to come near the town, and even
in the villages, when they come to buy
rice, Colonel Drury has seen them de-
post the price twenty PAGES in front of
the shop and retire to certain distance;
then the shopkeeper would come out,
put down the rice, take up the money
and withdraw, when the poor slave would
take possession of his purchase. Twenty
yards is the prescribed distance that must
always be maintained between alow-caste
person and one of higher. But when
8 Brahmin comes alcng the road the peo-
pie scatter on both sides to make way for
the purer being. The story of the man
who said: "Please, Sahib, the tiger who
owns my village" is surpassed by the fol-
lowing: "a caste called the Ollares,
who live in the junsles and collect honey.
and wax in the forests, wear little or no
clothing, and regard the tiger as their,
uncle. When tiger dies, either natu-:
rally, or by violence, the Ollares shave
their head ia token of mourning, and eat
no cooked food for three days. This is,i
however, not so surprising wher we learn
that they can eat no flesh but that Of
animals which have been killed by tigers
What precarious commissariat theirs
must be! Of another jungle race, tho
Miaddys, the author says that they are
the most wretched outcasts on the face
of the earth. These stunted beings build
kind of dwelling in trees, to escape
from the wild beasts; these they hurt
having no food except their flesh and
forest roots. Rice is unknown to them,
The Brahmins ere, of course, the highest
caste, even the royal family ranking SEC
ond to them.-The Spectator.

Gathering Wild Sumac.

The collecting and curing of the leaves
Of the wild sumacs occupies for several
Of the summer months the time of hun
ireds of women and children in Virginia
and ,4he Carolinas. This product, which
wound otherwise be wasted, distributes
among The poorer country people OF
North Carolina alone the large sum Of
$4,000 to $4,000 annually. Sumac is ex-
tensively used in dyeing cloth and in the
tanning of fine leather. Besides our ma
tive product, from fifteen thousand to
twenty-five thousand tons are annually
imported from the South of Europe.
Northern buyers of sumac claim that the
gatherers carelessly or dishonesty mix
with the packed leaves sticks, stones and
other trash. This is very wrong and
does not benefit the packers, as buyers
always remove such trash before weigh
ing, and deduct from the price of the
leaves the cost of removing the trash and
freight on same. The North Carolina
experiment station will investigate the
advisability of cultivating sumac and the
value of leaves from the cultivated plants.
Manufacturers give the following direc-
tions for curing leaves: Leaves may be
gathered any time from June 2Oth to
October 1st, or until the leaves turn red
red leaves are worthless. The best
leaves are those gathered in June and
July. As soon as picked spread the
leaves in the sun for one or two hours,
then remove to a rain tight covered she'd
and spread thinly on shelves or tables
and stir frequently to prevent the leaves
from heating and turning black. Use
the hands or wooden stick for turning
the leaves-never use iron. The greener
the dried leaves are the higher will be
the price they will bring. The leaves
will not be dry enough to pack until the
stems of the leaves break when bent.
Dried sumac sells from cighty-fve cents
to 81 per 100 pounds.-MeU England

PLEAsURE-SEEKERS DROWN
A Rowboat Capsizes and Five Occu-
pants Perish.

A shocking drowning accident by which
five lost their lives, occurred recently off
Whitestone, Long Island, N. Y. The en-
ployes of the Schaeffer Brewing Company OF
New York were holding their annual e1cur-
sion at Stimmeps Pavilion at Whitestone.
Whilo the music and dancing. were IN
progress in the pavilion, party, lnciuainS
John Loyal, Herman Hung Maurice Stadler,
Marie Puntz, Bertha Schoop and Theresa
Loyal, hired boat and started out INTO
the bay. Before they had gone O great
distance some persons on the shore were
startled to hear the women in the boat
screaming. The next instant the boat was
seen to upset, and all the occupants were
thrown into the water.
An eye witness of the terrible occurrence
from the shore saw one Of the young women
clinging to one Of the men, who struggled
desperately to keep himself and his femaie
companion above water, when suddenly ooth
throw up their hands and disappeared. =,
One Of the first to go to the rescue OF tne
drowning persons was son OF Dr. bleecKer.
He saw one Of the young women struggling
IN tho water and seized hold OF her as she was
about to sink He brought her ashore WITH
great difficulty. 80
1t is believed that the boat was caught IN
a heavy wash from one of the Sound steam
ers which was passing at the time, anu tna5
when the boat began to rock the women De-
came panic stricken, suddenly jumped up
and caused the craft to capslze.

A RIDE TO DEATH.
Terrible Accident on a Gravity Road
at Reading, Penn.

I6rrlDle ACClucLiG oLl d "rdSiSf LsOeho
at Reading, Penn.
A horrible accident occurred on a recent
forenoon shortly before II o'clock on the
Mount Penn Gravity Railroad, mountain
route encircling Mount Penn, 800 feet above
the city of Reading, Penn. The road was
opened five months ago, and has been doing
a good business ever since. The cars were
taken from q point on the outskirts Of the
city to the top Of the mountain, distance Of
five miles
On returning the cars were allowed to 60
down the mountain BY gravity by. way Of
another route to the point Of starting. A
car containing about eighteen passengers
was taken from the station to the top Of the
mountain. On the top Of the mountain
there is high stone tower where the
passengers were allowed to alight
to enjoy the scenery for thirty miles around.
When the tower was reached the engine was
detached, when the car ran away while the
passengers were still on board.
The distance to the point Of starting is
five miles, and it Is estimated that this was
covered by the runaway car in about three
minutes, the car attaining fearful speed,
mained on the track to the foot Of the plane,
going around all the curves, while the pas
sangers shrieked in their fright, and several
jumped off.
When the car reached the station at the
foot of the plane it jumped the track and
rolled down fifty foot embankment, where
it landed upside down, with the passengers
imprisoned inside.
The killed were Charles Rettew, aged fifty
five, conductor Of the car, and Edgar NJ.
Levin, an attorney Of Reading, aged about
forty; Miss Rosa Pfeitfer, Of Reading, and
Miss Harriet Hinkle, Of Philadelphia.
The passengers were all thrown into con-
fused mass. There were about a dozen of
the latter with broken limbs and battered
heads. their clothing covered with blood
