II Nine. Cannot is not popular in
France, says Modern Society, London, it
is certainly not from the lack of taking
trouble to win public favor. She rivals
the ex-Empress Ehgenie in tho thousand
little ingenious peEices she practices for
securing popularity. She visits hospit-
ais, assists Mt bazars, entertains all
classes, and showers down little acts of
kindness upon all whom she encounters.
Above all, she never misses an opportun-
ity of appearing in public resplendent in
lace, velvet and feathers, all of which
have been purchased in France, the wife
of the president being much toe patri-
otic TO have any dealings with foreign
ers. She sends direct to Normandy for
her laces, to Lyons for her velvets and
silks; and whenever she pays a visit TO a
town noted for laces she makes large
purchases.

ALyNoHING NARROWLY EsCApEDJ
The Intended Victim Owed His Safety
TO MiSSinp n Train.

A group of old-timers were talking
about the weather, says the Minneapolis
Journal, and the conversation carried
them back to the great storm of years
ago.
THE queerest combination I ever
knew" said the judge rotlcctively, was
a blizzard death, suspected murder, and
ar attempted lynching that only misCar-
ried because the subject missed Il train.
1.-The winter of 1879 80, as you all
recollect, was n very severe one, and
many persons living on the prairie were
frozen to death. Some time before
man named Crandall had moved from
Morris to farm in southeastern Da-
kota. One day a big storm came up, and
Mrs. Crandall, who happened to be on
the plain with her youngest child, was
caught in the blizzard, and both wore
frozen to death. Mrs. Crandall's pa
rents lived In Morris, and when the sad
news of her death came her father
started for Dakota to bring back the re-
mains of his daughter and gTandchild
Crandall and his wife had not got along
very well together, and in some way ru-
mors of foul play crept out.
1.-The next afternoon the bercaved
father arrived in Morris with his dead
The bodies were frozen solid, and ar
rangementS were made to thaw them
out. When this was done Mrs. Gran
dull's body was examined. a deep
wound in her side was found. 1t didn't
take the people of Morris long to make
up their minds that murder had been
committed. CIandall, it was thought,
had arrived that night with his survlv-
ing child, and gone to the house of his
mother, who lived near the village. A
lynching party was organized in short
order and armed with ropes, etc. The
house was visited and thoroughly
searched, but Crandall was not to be
found. His mother insisted that he had
not arrived, but she was not believed.
Finally the crowd gave up the search
and went home disgusted.
Now comes the strange part OF the
story. The next morning the body of
Mrs Crandall had been entirely thawed
out and another examination was made.
There was no sign Of tho broad cash
that Mortified the people the night be-
fore. There were no bruises, no signs of
foul play. There's u mystery for you!
But it developed after awhile that tho
flesh had folded over and frozen to-
gethcr, giving the exact appearance of a
long and horrible cash. When the body
thawed out the cash disappeared. Itell
you the would-be lynchcrs of the niglse>
before felt pretty cheap. In an hour or
two Crandall himself arrived in town on
the morning train He had missed the
train the night before. That was all that
saved him from II lynching. OF course
he could not help hearing about what
had been going on; what he said or
thought about it | never knew, but you
can guess.

The Prohibitionists Today.

The Des Moines and Omaha teams will run
against each other on the local grounds for
the first time this season this afternoon and
the result will be great fight and no mis-
take. There is more feeling, more rivalry be-
tween Omaha and Des Moines than any two
cities in the association and both
teams will strain every nerve and muscle
to down the other. A good crowd should
turn out and give the Black Sox whoop to
victory. The Prohibitipnists are putting up
as good ball as any team in the country, and
IL will require all of the local aggregations re-
sources to conquer them. They will have out
their strongest battery-Hart and Traffiey-
while the Omahas will meet them with
Clarke and Moran. The general feeling is,
notwithstanding all their recent hard luck,
that the Black SoX will take the game

Art I'm America,

1t is true that the Greek love of beauty
in its expression in art was accompanied
by n civilization that stopped ut a fixed
point and fell, says Harper's Bazaar. But
the civilization from which women were
excluded, as they were in the Greek,
would fall to ashes in spite of the love
and worship of beauty. 1t is true also
that art in modern Europe has not rem
dered the race any better where it flour
ishes more freely; but cramping intlu-
enccs of tyranny, disturbed political
pressure, and the effect of religious GUS
toms forbidding individual freedom of
opinion will explain that, without re-
course to the fact that only the bald ma
tcrial beauty is seen by the great num-
ber, and not the spirit which informs it.
In our country we have brought about
at last the condition which should be
ostering-wealth in aboundance, to-
gether with unlimited freedom of
thought and expression. ambition and
desire for excellence, and beauty every
where at hand, in sea or shore. in noun
tains, in prairies, in everglades and
pampas, and pastures and orchards and
city streets. and the larger beauty of u
people marching on to heaven alone
knows what mighty goal Here, then,
art has u field which no other country
has ever given it, for in no other country
has it ever grown under the ngis of ma
tional liberty, and in no other country
where women and the home have been
so honored as they are in this so that
work which it may yet do for our homes
is something that arouses the imagina
ton and makes the heart beat.

Il MAD BOYS TERRIBLE DEED.
Nellie Dougherty Set on Fire, and
Burned to Death by Her Brother

HAzLEToN, Pa, June 11.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Nellie Dougherty. aged
eleven years, daughter of Patrick Dougherty,
was fatally burned yesterday by her brother,
who is about year younger. The children
had been fishing. The boy built a fire to roast
some frogs which he expected to catch. Be-
coming enraged at his sister for some trivial
act, he dragged her to the fire and held her
over it until her clothing became ignited; but
believing that he could extinguish the flames
without seriously injuring her, he delayed re-
leasing her. When he did it was too late
Her skirts were already ablaze, and all efforts
to extinguish them proved futile. In her des-
peration the child ran to stream close by
and threw herself into it. Some men were
passing and they arrived just in time to save
the life of the boy whose clothing had also
caught fire in his efforts to save his sister
The little girl was taken from the water un-
conscious. She was horribly burned about
the body and legs and died u few hours later.
The boy will recover.
