TIE JURY BELIEVED HER.
What en- Opera Singer Can Pack In q
Travelling Trunk.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The ways of
fate are not half 50 mysterious as the art
which enables a woman to pack a pile of
goods 5 by l6 into by s trunk. An il
Iustration of this wonderful feminine faculty
was given TO-DAY in Judge Gordon's court,
/ in the suit OF Mrs Laura Dollsen against
! the Pennsylvania Railroad Company TO re-
| cover damages for the loss of trunk.
! In the course of her testimony, Mrs Dol
sen showed that she had slowed away

riage to DR.. CHARLES W. Dolsen, Miss Laura
| V. Hayes, a member of the McCaull Opera
Company. She is a slender, demi-brunette
Of progressing appearance, and with a
dramatic delivery. She was dressed in a
| dark green cloth suit, with gold trimming
and black velvet bodice. Gold bands en-
circled her wrists, and diamond pendants
sparkled from her ears. Mrs. Dolsen told
the court and jury how, III 1884, the COM
pany had to make a jump from this city TO
Boston, and that the trunk she had ex-
pressed, and for which she held check No.
&C. had never reached its destination. When
asked to state the contents of the missing
trunk and their value, the ex-Operatlc ar
tiste gave the following enumeration:
One extra long sealskin wrap, valued at
$3.50; one black satin dress, one black silk
dress, 80; one garnet SILK dress, $40; one
brown flannel dress, Sl5 one blue flannel
dress, SIS; one red cloth dress, $25; one gray

The company's defense was that the
trunk had been delivered and the check
surrendered. In his argument to the jury,
however, the fair plaintiffs lawyer dangled
check No. &c in front of the jury's eyes

a verdict for 1913 IS, or $50 less than the

THE SHAFTS GOOD NATURE.
A View that Makes the Persian Mon
arch Not Bad Sort of Fellow.


From the Nineteenth Century
The shah is not young man, he is some
90 years old; but he has always led a tenn
perate and healthy life, delighting in out
door exercise, a great hunter and a good
shot, and he consequently to-day enjoys ex-
cellent health. and is active alike in mind
and body. His humanity has already been
mentioned in connection with the cessation
of arbitrary executions, and his natural
Kindness of heart is constantly manifested,
and was notably so on several occasions
during his visit to England, and particu-
larly in his expressions of regret at the
death of Door woman who was killed in
the crush on his arrival at Bradford, and in
his anxiety to make some suitable provision
for her bereaved family.
Notwithstanding Il certain severity of
countenance and manner the shah is of very
cheerful disposition and is quick to note any
amusing incident and laughs heartily
thereat. He is very reserved and distant
In his intercourse with officials, either his
own or foreigners, but such incidents as his
shaking hands indiscriminately with the
crowd who suddenly surrounded his car
rlage when his special train unexpectedly
stopped at Rugby Station sufficiently prove
his bon hommie and good nature. No
doubt he is somewhat suspicious but he has
is good judge of character, a shrewd OBJ
server of men and Thugs. His remarks
and questions during his inspection OF our
industrial establishments were thoroughly
practical and showed just appreciation of
| what were the important points for his
| observation.
When, after some troublesome inter
preting, he was made to understand that
| the operation about to be performed by a
highly scientific testing machine was the
breaking of steel bolt, he turned on his
| heel with the observation that it was unnec-
esSary TO break it; but in the same establish
ment he was eager III his questions as to the
quantities of arms and different military
| appliances produced, what were the prices
aud to whom were the manufactures leliv-
cred. These We're the practical points, but
the mathematical testing of the breaking
strain of a steel bolt was clearly technical
and of no practical interest to a Persian
monarch

A Very Engaging Girl.


At party given a few nights ago, a young
man, who until that time had the reputation OF
being one of the happest of men, saw what has
changed him from the happest of mortals to
the most miserable. He stepped out upon the
veranda to smoke, and while there overheard
his fiance acknowledge to being in love with the
man she was then with, saw him kiss her, and
then heard her promise to marry him.
When they left he was so stunned that he
stayed where he was until he startled by
another couple coming to the same window
He started to leave, but recognizing tine voics
of his fiance he stood still and was witness to
the same proceedings that had first caused him
pain. He was so overpowered with grief that
he sank down upon the porch, and in an agony
of expectation waited to see if it would happen
again Again it did happen; in fact it hap
pened twice more
When he escorted her home after the party
he told her as she had kissed and become en-
gagged t. four men that night, and had ring
from each. she would not miss his ring himself
or his kisses, and he would therefore beg to be
released from an engagement that had become
distasteful to him He received his release, and
has foresworn woman's society from that
time on.

FROM THE ORIENT.
Europeans Killed by Pirates-A Rice
Famine.

Famine.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-Advices by
the steamer Gaelic say: rumor reached
Hong Kong Jan. 8 that party of Eu-
ropeans, consisting of the Messrs. ROGUE,
two merchants of Haiphong, Capt F. Rose.
and the Messrs. Roques compradore, had
been captured by band of pirates in Ton
quin, ann that Capt Rose had been muir
dered. The news was confirmed by tele-
gram received on Feb. 10.
From what can be ascertained it appears
that the party left Haiphong in small
steamer to visit some plantations owned by
the firm. The party landed and had pro-
ceeded but a short distance inland when
they were surrounded by an armed band
and taken prisoners. Capt. Rose was
killed by the pirates either while the cap
ture was being made or Immediately after
ward, but the others were spared, proba-
bly, with the view of being held for ransom.

a REMARK ABLE PROPHECY.
Com Maury's Description Of the Talk-
ing Machine Fifty Years Ago.

NOLl- DeScrlDttOn OF the
ing Machine Fifty Years ago.
Nearly fifty years ago the late Commo-
dore Maury in jesting mood spoke of re-
cording human speech by speaking through
trumpet upon sheet Of paper, and in
general way described the photograph or
graphophone. This curious prophecy, made
in Joke, was discovered the other day by
DR.. q. Brown Goode, director of the ma
tiona museum, in looking over the life of
Commodore Aaury recently published in
London, says the Washington Star.
It IS contained in a letter written
by Commodore Maury to a rela-
tive In New York, dated May u,
1874. At that time Commodore Maurv was
superintendent Of the naval observatory in
this city. If Commodore Maurv had been
alive and present when Prof g )ode read
this letter, he would have been as5onished
to see what the professor dld. He turned
and took up trumpet and talked into it.
he was speaking not upon piece of paper,
hut upon light wax cylinder. When he
had finished speaking he inclosed this little
cylinder III little pa>tebOard case or box
and mailed it to e d. EastOn, the president
OF the Columbia PhOnograph Company of
this city. Mr.. EastOn put the cylinder on
a grapbophone, adjusted the ear piece to
his ear, and then read what Prof. Goodies
copy of Commodore Maury's letter, in
which he wrote:
What pity it is that NJ. Daguerre, in
stead of photography, had not invented a
a process of writing by merely speaking
through trumpet upon sheet of paper.
What glorious thing it would have been.
could then have mailed our letters in the
boldest hand and at any time. Instead of
saying L wrote you a letter last Monday
the phrase would have been II smoke Won a
ream last Tues lay The world would be-
come mere scribbling shop-a vast book
machine. When out visiting and you would
wish to give the cook an order, you would
only have to haul down the pipe and the
cook would have written order at her
feet. and theu there could be no mistake
about the pudding. What convenience
that would be to housekeepers. Such a
consummation, though, must be left to the
generation Of our children. 1t would be
curious thing if they were to carry on their
courtship in this way"

IMMORAL BOOKS,
Vassar Girl with Original Opinions
On the Subject.

Vassar Girl with Original Opinions
On the Subject.
They were two Vassar girls: they knew all
about evolution, but had never seen the
Gaiety dancers; they could discuss the de-
scent or ascent of man, the way the stars
glittered. and Just who the stars were.
though they had never heard Tony Pastor
sing. They were talking about immoral
literature over cup of tea, and one of
them gave lucid opinion about immoral
books. She said: "a nasty book is not
necessarily immoral. 1t may disgust and
have no other effect; book that gives
pictures of vice is not necessarily immoral.
because usually the contrast is shown by the
introduction of virtue, and the one is
made so much more beautiful than
the other; then the vice is not hidden
behind a thin veil, that while it reveals
what seem delights. conceals all the dis
gusts. The immoral book, to my thinking,
Is the book that upsets your faith in human
lty, that makes you question the world at
large, and tries to turn you away from
your belief in God. Another immoral book
IS the one that gives excuse for sin, by
claiming that one is the creature of circum-
stance, that inherited traits cannot be
battled with, and that, if one does wrong,
ones grandfather or ones wicked nature
can be blamed for it. | will recite you
three bad books-books that are probably
in every house in New York. First, DIR.
Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE that says, why
should one try to be good if there
is another self that rules? Next,
Anna Karenina,' because it makes
life and everything is wrong, everything is
dark, there is no hope, and no necessity for
hope. Third, Robert Elsmere.' No book
can be good that, like this, makes one I'M
certain as to what is right or wrong, and
suggests that it is ones duty to cast aside
the creed of ones youth. These are immoral
books" After this they had fresh cup of
tea, and the young woman with an opinion
took three Jumps of sugar, dropped her eye
glasses, which fell into the cream pitcher
and were smeared with milk, so that instead
of Analysing mankind she had to devote the
next half hour to polishing them up to reach

THE EARLY RISING HUMBUG.
Most of the Talk About the Practice
Declared to be Moonshine.

Most of the Talk About the Practice
Declared to be Moonshine.
From the Domestic Monthly
Most of the talk about early rising is
moonshine. The habit of turning out of
bed in the middle of the night suits some
people; let them enjoy it. But it is only
a folly to lay down a general rule upon the
subject Some men are fit for nothing all
day after they have risen early every morn
ing. Their energies are deadened. their
imaginations are heavy, their spirits are
depressed.
1t is said you can work so we'll in the
morning. Some people can, but others can
work best at night others again, III the
afternoon. Long trial and experiment
form the only conclusive tests upon these
points. We all know the model man,
aged 50. 81 invariably rise at 5; | work
three hours, take a light breakfast-namely
a cracker and a pinch of salt-work five
hours more; never smoke, never drink any
thing but barley water, eat no dinner; and
go to bed at in the evening" If anybody
finds t1at donkeytied sort of life will suit
him, by all means let him continue it. But
few people would care to live to so on these
terms.
II man cannot get all withered and
crumbled up on easier conditions than
those, it is lmost as well that he should
depart before he is a nuisance to himself
and bore to everybody else. Schoolboys
and young people generally, ought to get up
early, for it is found that nine-tenths OF
them can stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice as
good man as he is if he had risen every
morning at daylight. The habit would
kill hall of us in less than five years.

can handle carloads Continued dry
weather makes the berries small, and lower
prices, with increased freights, make the
