sIoK IN BED F0R e2 YEARs.

Miss Chloe Lankton died in New
Hartford, Conn.,, recently, in her
seventy-eighth year. She was born
in 1912. At her age Of sixteen she
was attacked by malady which
has kept her in bed ever since.
She has lived sixty-two years in
bed. The sick room was costly ar
ranged, SO that she could help her
self TO many things. About thirty
years ago the story Of her life was
written and published in the Sun
day. School Union. When her par
ents died she was cared for by
friends. She never complained,
and was ever cheerful and patient.
One Of her great troubles was the
difficulty of having her bed made.
The late John G. Smith, of New
Haven, invented a little derrick.
The patient would have q strong
can, -ass placed beneath her, which
was attached by simple tackle to
the derrick, aud she could be swung
of FROM the bed as ifin a hammock.

THERE is something tiendish in
the way the price of ice has been
kept up in the large cities of the
country this summer while ship
loads of it melted for want of
purchasers. Ice is now one Of the
necessaries of life in cities, aud
Withholding it from the suffering
poor by deliberately keeping the
price out of their reach is work
only fit for . devil. If there is any
truth in popular theology the men
who have done it win at length find
themselves in place where all their
own ice will fail to keep them cool.

A woman's Candidate.

At the unwilling of her husband
monument in indianapolis, Mrs.
Hendricks nominated Governor
David b. Hill, of New York, as the
Democratic candidate for the pre-
sdency in 1892, and gave her
reasons therefor. 1t is the second
time in the history of the country
that a woman has nominated a
candidate for president. The first
time was when Clara s. Foltz, of
California, nominated Belva Lock-
wood.
New York World correspondents
in various parts Of the Union haYe
asked prominent women their
opinion of Mrs. Hendricks nom
ination. Lucy Stone was one of
the first to be interviewed, and she

The Indpe and the Actress.

A distinguished looking ex-Virginia judge,
whose face was familiar one at the last re-
publican State convention. was the COM
plainent in the Police Court in Norfolk en-
Wednesday morning against handsome
and coquettish opera burlefque actrese
named Florence Edwsrds. The charges
preferred againstthe actress by the ex-Judge
were that she had stolen $50 from him IN the
Novelty Theatre wine room in that city on
Monday night Last. This the actress indlR-
nantly denied, and said that If the Judge
had $50, he must have spent 1t for wine that
night. The evidence showed that the Judge
played host in setting up many rounds oil
drinks to the actresses who called only for
champagne cocktails and the wine straignf.
The charges were dismissed and the actress
now swears that she will sue the gentleman
for false imprisonment.
The ex-iudge created scene at Virginia
Beach the same afternoon, Having lost bis
case In the Police Court, the judge started
to paint Norfolk veymil!ion hue. After
having psrtaken freely OF a number Of drinks

lust the sort of brGcer he wanted. Arriv-
ing at the Beach, 1t did not take long for
the Judge to array himself in a bathing suit
of the loudest color. He started in the
water, but before his feet were damp
ened by the rolling waves be spied two
ladies taking sand bath and made start
for them. He did not proceed far, however,
and was made to get in the water. with

manifested itself again, and 30 familiar did
he attempt to become with the fsirer sex In
the water that many of them we're forced to
retire to the bath houses. After returning
from his bath the judge was unable to fud
bis room, and shivered In his bath suit for
nearly half an hour before he could find his
clothes.
