FORBES INDICTED FOR RAPE.
The special term of the Circuit Court
to try the case Of Ernest Forbes. colored,
charged with felonionsly assaulting Miss
Bertha Phipps, OF the First district, on
Thursday, November 9th last. convened
this morning at 10 o'clock. with Chief
Judge Miller on the bench.
Long before the hour for opening the
courtroom arrived, the veslibule and
even the court yard leading TO the court
house, was filled with crowd of curious
spectators. awaiting to get glimpse of
the victim of the rayisher, and discuss
ing the enormity of the crime and the
narrow escape Of the prisoner from the
the hands of the lynchers.
MISS PHIPPs APPEARS IN COURT.
Shortly before Judge Miller called the
court to order, Miss Phipps, the victim
Of Forbes outrage, made her appearance
IL. court, accompanied by Mrs. Irene
Carr, wife OF Arthur Carr, of Eastport
and her uncle George w Hardesty, with
whom sac and her widowed mother live,
and who, L. will be remembered, after
wards captured Forbes and turned him
over to constsble S. Hank Owens, who
brought the prisssner to Annapolis and
lodged him in jail, from whence he was
shortly afterwards G:ken to the Balti-
more city jail. where hs. still remains.
When Miss Phipps entered the Court
room all eyes was turned toward her,
and general expression ofindignation
was depicted upon the countenances of
all present as they looked upon the vic
tim of one of the most revolving crimes
ever committed in our county.
Miss Phipps is striking blonde, o.
a petite figure, and of rather prepossess-
ing appearance, and apparently about
sixteen years of age. She was heavily
veiled all during the proceedings, and
was calm and composed. Mrs. Carr,
who accompanied Miss Phipps. sat with
her on the left-hand side of the court
room. and shared with her friend the
embarrassing gaze of the spectators.

Several minutes were taken up by Ma
jor Sprigg Harwood, Clerk OF the Court,
in preparing the ballots for the drawing
of the Grand Jury. after which Judge
Miller named Samuel Brooke as foreman.
The following jurors were then drawn !:

An Acoustic Tale.

A special to The New York World
from Helena, Ark, dated April "a, says:
John R. Mcclure. of Modoc Landing.
says that during the high water he has
been compelled to fell trees in order that
his cows might sustain life by browsing
on the green leaves. The animals were
always hungry and he had great trouble
in driving them away to keep the oaks
from falling on them Two days ago
there was thunder storm and before it
began to rain there was a clap of thunder
that sounded exactly like tree falling.
Mr.. McGuire's entire herd of cows rush
ed frantically towards the spot where it
seemed the tree had fallen. Another and
another clap followed in rapid succession
and all of the cattle put to the hill coun-
try, where they supposed trees were be-
ing cut down. Not one of them has been

Strange Disappearance Of Gems.

Every trade has peculiarities about ID
that are inexplicable. A notable in
stance of this is the strange manner in
which diamonds and other precious
stones disappear when accidentally
dropped by dealer while handling them.
sit really seems, said jeweler to a
reporter, that these valuable stones have
the power of motion. diamond
dropped at one end of room has been
found in the dust AT the further end of
the apartment.
'sOn another occasion / saw a stone
that was dropped to the floor from q
loose setting, and, after hours of fruit
less search, this same stone was found in
the show window six feet from where it
fell.
"a friend of mine and customer of
his spent two hours in looking for a
diamond that flew from the tweezers in
which it was held for inspection, and
when they had given up the search in
despair it was found nesting cozily in
the thick black beard of the customer.
'.Other precious stones seem to have
the same faculty for disappearing. A
short time ago dealer allowed fine
topaz to slip from his hand. The spot
on the floor where it fell, and in fact
every part of the Office, was thoroughly
searched but the stone was never re-
covered Chicago News.

The snake Was Hungry.

Capt. L. J. Tucker, who lives just
north of this city, is telling a remarkable
snake story among his friends around
town. 1t seems that the captain was
fishing in Lake Ivanhoe and had been
lucky enough TO catch a pretty good
sized trout Thinking he would clean it
before returning home he sat down on
the bank of the lake, and as he was
washing the fish, with his hand in the
water, he suddenly felt something pull
ing at one of his fingers. Imagine his
surprise and CONSERVATION when, upon
looking down at his finger, he saw a
large moccasin snake had hold of it.
With sudden jerk he pulled his finger
out of his snakcship's mouth, the only
harm done being that considerable skin
was scraped off IN the act-Orlando

Doctors talk of inneryation Of the scalp.
and atrophy, but it is not considered
their place to say that the cause If inner
Walton. eczema, and paralysis of the skin
is want Of needed cleanliness. Think
what state the face would be in if it were
washed only once in six weeks or longer;
and imagine the condition Of the scalp
with its thousands Of oil glands and its
hairy growth to detain all the Astounding
dust. The wonder is not that people Lose
their hair, but that they have any to lose.
The cause of much badness and thinning
OF the hair is the choking Of the bulbs by
neglect The next potent causes are dry,
oyerheated air of rooms, which destroys
the vitality of everything in reach,
withers bloom, draws the skin into
wrinkles, and dries the hair by the roots
and also nervous dyspepsia. which de-
mics nutrition to the entire system, in
Guiding the hair. Those causes. want OF
care and cleanliness, dry heat and indi-
gestion, lie at the root of poor hair.
Wearing hats or bonnets frequently,
or long at a time. is an unsupported
cause of grayness and falling locks. Gus
tom should be amended to allow woman
to remove bonnets wherever possible on
long journeys, in heated concert rooms,
theatres and public galleries. The iii
brary headache. familiar to women
who spend much time studying in public
libraries in senseless habit with their
bonnets on, is speedily destructive to the
hair as well as the nerves. The unnec-
essary heat and pressure on the brain
while reading Is most mischievous Wo-
men in class rooms and reading rooms
should lay aside their head gear, if only
for half hour. The harm done by go

doubtless, of much falling of the hair

THE coy Al EIGHTEEN.


The Things He should Know. Because Of
the Great Advantages He HzH.
A youth of eighteen, who is to have
the best chances, should know how TO
study, and how to do it with enthusi-
asm also. because he has learned the les
son at least five years before.
Enthusiasm. guided and controlled by
knowledged as to the use Of the powers,
is the true life of a living man. alive
with the spiritual forces Everything
else is in sleep, or Is dead.
make my starting point, and my
guiding thought, the thought that he
should learn how to study, and should
gain enthusiasm, at the beginning.
In the first place, as think. the study
of language may be most hopefully and
successfully started in these earliest
years. The boy moves joyously where
the man finds only labor and weariness.
The children of our households today
may gain the same thing that we gained
at five and twenty, and far more than
we gained, when they are ten or twelve,
and the progress is like the joyful song
of their childhood, when they are led
along the rational method. They grow
up into French or German. as it were,
as they grow up into English, and talk,
and read, and sing in these languages
Just as they do in their own. Why
should they not breathe enthusiasm with
every breath of their learning? 1t was
with great price, indeed, that we OBJ
tanned this freedom. But they were free
born.
Let me say here that. in my Judgment,
every boy who has the best chances
ought to have the mastery of the French
or German language Il should say Of
both before he is IS years of age-a
mastery kindred to that which he has of
English. He should, also, have such q
knowledge of Greek and Latin as will
mean power in and over those languages,
and win enable him to read them with
ease and with satisfaction as he enters
upon his college course. The man who
knows the ancient languages as he ought
to know them, will never contend against
their holding place in the education of
all widely educated and roundly edu-
Gated men.
The boy who has the best chances
ought. in the years between twelve and
eighteen, to be set forward on his course
in history and the beginnings, at least,
of the literature of his own language
Ny feeling is that the boys who have
the best chances should know something
of music, and should, at least. see the
opening of the door toward art studies.
The opinion l. now well established. !

ed in vocal music with measure of sue

That the mathematical studies should
