Girls Away From Home.


The girl who is going away from
homo quite by herself, and who will
have to travel for several days and
nights on the cars, who will be at a
strange hotel by herself. wants little
advice about what to do. Her number
may be many, 30 / prefer to tell her
in this little paragraph: In buying
her ticket for the trip she also buys a
ticket for her sleeper, and the railway
official will arrange that II she does
not get the entire section the other
berth is also occupied by a lady. When
she wishes to go to bed, the porter. ut
her request, will arrange the birth for
her, and then out OF the small satchel
that che has provided she will take the
dark flannel or delaine dressing gown
in which she intends to sleep. and go
to the toilet-room and put this on.
Her clothes are hung by the berth.
and while she Is advised to remove
her dress, skirt and corsets and her
shoes, 1t will be wiser to retain some
OF her underwear and her stockings,
not only because of the draft. but be-
cause OF the facility Of getting into
things the next morning. Get up early
and go to the toilet-room. but do not
monopolize 1t for hours. ~ 49,
When you reach . strange city get
into the stage that celongs to the
hotel to which you wish to go, get out
at the ladies' entrance, go into the
reception room and say that you wish
some one sent from the Office to you.
Tell whoever comes exactly what
kind OF room you want, and ask the
price of it. Give him your name to
register, and remember, while you
are alone in public house it is not
wise to dress in any except a quiet
way. No trouble about ordering your
meals should be experienced, as the
bill-of-fare shows exactly what is
served and you can take your choice.
AS to clipping" you will certainly
give a small tip to The porter who
straps and locks your trunks for you.
and to any bell-boy in the hotel who
shows you some special service. If
you are only there for few hours it
is not necessary for you to tip the
WditCT, hui thO uhiCoo
she also should do some act OF kind
ness for you such as brushing your
gown, getting the piece of soap that
you have forgotten, or putting stitch
in a ripped frock. Although it is not
pleasant to be alone, still do firmly
believe that well-bred girl with a
clear head and an understanding mind
can go, without any trouble, from
California to New York, and receive
nothing but courteous attention.
The don'ts are these:-
Don't dress loudly.
Don't make any acquaintances on
the car or in hotels.
Don't sit alone in public parlors.
Better by far stay In your own room
and read. than make yourself an OBJ
ject OF comment.
Make up your mind to be courteous
and polite, but reserved, and all men
will be like Chevalier Bayards to you,
and all women will give you what you
demand-respect.- Ruth AshmOre, in

eral of these old soldiers are en-
ployed on the Senate side, which very
conservative body never thinks OF re-
moving any OF its employees, while
over a dozen are employed as messen-
gers and doorkeepers on the House
side. The 48th Congress passed a law
creating what Is known as the dis
abled soldiers roll, and any man who
once gets his name upon that roll, no
matter what may be his politics or
the complexion OF the House. he can
not be discharged except for good and
sufficient reasons, and then only by q
vote Of the House.
Among those employed by the
House, Comrade 6. H. Decker OF
Ohio is the worst injured man, having
lost both arms at the battle OF Perry
Vile, KY, by the premature discharge
Of the gun which he was serving. He
gels 800 a month pension besides his

The morning after the assassination
OF President Lincoln, large crowd
gathered In front OF the Stock Ex-
change, New York. A number Of
prominent men were in the room adj
joining the balcony. Gen. Brisbin
thus describes the scene, taking 1t up
after the crowd had assembled: .'By
this time the wave of popular indig-
nation had swelled to its crest. Two
men lay bleeding on one of the side
streets, the one dead. the other next
to dying, zone on the pavement, the
other IN the gutter. They had said
but moment before that Lincoln
ought to have been shot, anyhow,
long before. They were not allowed
to say it again. Soon two long pieces
Of scantliDg stood out above the heads
of the crowd, like the letter X, and
looped halter pendant from the juno
ton, dozen men following its slow
motion through the masses, while
vengeance was the cry. On the
right suddenly the shout rose, The
World. the World, the Office of the
Woridr and a movement Of perhaps
5000 or 10, 900 turning their faces in
the direction Of that building, began
to be executed.

might come no one couldtell, did that
crowd get in front OF the Office. Police
or military would have availed little
or been too late. A telegram had just

FREELY FORGIVEN,
But the Officers Of the Law Arrest
Clay for Forgery,

Louisville, September 8.--M. Hume
Clay, the young member OF the wealth
lest and most aristOcrutic family of
the State. who recently forged the
names OF his relatives to checks aggre-
eating 100000. and who, on the dis.
covcry. absconded, turned up sudden.
ly at his home, in Paris, KY, to-day at
noon.
A special dispatch from there says
that his return was as sudden and near.
ly unexpected as was his departure.
Only his father, his brother and his
faihnr-in-lnu hnnw he was coming
A closed carriage met him Mt tho
depot and he was rapidly driven to
the residence of his iMtlicr-in-.aw,
Capt. JAS. Thomas, where he was glad.
iy welcomed and forgiven by his sor-
rowing heart-broken young wife The
meeting was affecting in the extreme.
When young Clay disappeared,
Aug. !, he went at once to Chicago;
from there he went TO New York, sail.
ing OIL his arrival for Liverpool. AT
ter Il weeks stay he proceeded 10 Lon
don, but soon firing of the place he be-
came disheartcned and returned TO
America, landing at Dayton several
days ago. From there he wrote to his
falhcr, Hon. John G. Clay, at Paris
bogging his forgiveness and asking
leave to once more be a devoted son
at home. After a conference with
friends it was decided to bring the
Young man home. Relatives went to
Dayton for him and to-day the prodi.
gal returned. lie looked little like his
former self, and ii was with bowed
head that he stepped from the train,
the first of the bluc-blooded Clay fam
lily to ever drop hia eyes in shame.
Two hours after his arrival a telc-
gram from Sheriff w. II. Farncy, of
Clark county, ordered Sheriff Arm
strong to arrest Clay tor forgery and
hold him. lie was consequently ar
rested ut the home of Capt. Thomas,
and taken TO Winchester, the county
seat OF Clark county, where he will be
tried. His father and fathcr-in-law,
who are worth over 100000. accom-
panied him. prepared to go on his
bond for appearance when wanted.
Tho arrest was caused by. The Clark
County Bank, which handled young
Clay's bad notes to the value of $65,
600. The young man confcsses the
notes were forgeries, but says nothing
rs to where the money went.
