Davis scandalous Jury.

While Robert Davis hired slanderer
was inventing malignant falsehoods
for the Joker Boss to set his name to,
the packed Grand Jury was doing
Davis infamous will in presenting to
the Court indictments against Cap
tain Graham and his brothers. while
they ignored the charges against
O'Mara, Quirk and the other scoun-
drelly heelers of the Ring who mall
treated the Captain in the perform
ance of his duty.
No more scandalous outrage on JUS
tice than this Indictment was ever
perpetrated. 1t covers every member
of the Grand Jury with shame. 1t
heaps up a load of obloauy on the
Sheriff who drew that jury which
would crush anyone less shameless
than Robert Davis.
1t furnishes one more link in the
chain of proof of the great conspiracy
which has been formed not only to
rob the public at large, but also to
outrage the liberty and honor of in
dividuals.
If the Ring succeeds in this cleo
ton, no man win be safe who does
not make himself the humble follower
of Robert Davis.

McPhiIIips, straddIe Act.

TIM JERSEY CRY NEWS yesterday
used this expression:-sMcPhillip
may turn out to be one of those bad
boys who fool pa.n
If one portion of the interview with
Mr. McPhillips, which we print today.
were to be taken literally, it would
appear that Robert Davis would have
occasion to repent his fatherly solicit
tude in sackcloth and ashes in case
McPhillips were elected Sheriff. Mr..
McPhillips says, not over willingly
but still clearly enough, that
he will use all the pow
ers OF his of1ce-if he gets it,
to punish political fraud, He is for
the punishment of the men who com-
mitted election crimes in the past,
and he will not draw grand juries to
protect such crimes.
II this assurance could be relied on,
the election of Mr.. McPhillips would
be a very uncomfortable event for
Robert Davis, Mike O'Mara, Tom
Trotter and all the other toughs and
criminals of the Ring. But unfortu-
nately for Mr.. McPhillips his assur-
ances are coupled with certain other
assertions which impart to them a
broad comedy aspect.
When Mr.. McPhillips says he has
no knowledge of the existence of a
Ring in this County, when he pleads
the baby act, saying he is too young
in politics to know whether there is a
Ring or not, and when in the same
breath he pronounces Robert Davis
ian honest, upright leader" and the
best man in the County to head the
Democratic party, why then Mr. Nc
Phillips, in the picturesque words of
Robert Davis amanuensis, set "the
echoes and the babies of the city
laughing to split their sides?
Summed up, Mr.. McPhillips' inter-
view exhibits him in the act of trying
to ride two horses, public opinion and
ring rule, and like a green circus
acrobat he slips from the back Of one
and then from the back of the other.
Those who watch this spectacle
feel q well-grounded confidence that
when the time comes for him to skip
through the hoop, he will fall between
the steeds and be trampled to death
between them.
However may be pleased that
McPhillips promises reform in the
Sherif's office for the future-in case
he IS elected-one cannot but feel
some disgust at the meanness
with which he throws his chief
and patron overheard, shifting
on his shoulders all the blame of the
jury crimes of the past. Whether
be has taken absolute part IN them,
McPhillips has given them counter
anee by retaining a high post in the
office where he knew they were com
mitted. His attempt to wash his
hands of them now is as absurd and
futile as il is treacherous and mean.
Altogether, Mr.. McPhillips is a
sorry talker, q sorry candidate, and it
seems to us a sorry fellow altogether.

A DEAR LITTLE THING.
Has a "1sweet Sixteen"
Who Tips the Scales at 450.

The largest and heaviest girl of her age
that has ever lived has been unearthed at
the little Village of Cokeyille, Westmore-
land county, near the Indiana county
line, about a quarter of mile from Blairs-
vile intersection and Blairsville. Her
name is Della Beck, her age is sixteen
years. and she weighs 45O pounds.
The girl is the daughter of a respectable
coal miner. and is n of eight children.
Her parents are both of ordinary size, and
none of her brothers or sisters show signs
of exceeding average limits in points OF
physical development. One sister
reached the weight of AS pounds at the
age of five years, but died at that period
A Times reporter visited the Beck
homestead and found Della to be a suffi-
GENTLY comedy American girl, strong Il
healthy, and evincing fair intelligence.
When she was five years old she said she
weighed 140 pounds, n she has been
gaining steadily ever since. For some
years past the increase in her weight has
been at the rate of one pound a month.
While the reporter was present q dress
maker came in and measured Della for a
new dress. Some of the measurements
were as follows:-Sixty-one inches round
the waist, t~hirty-four inches around the
bust, twelve inches around the neck and
thiE5ESgne inches u the Heshy part OIL
the arm. Her helgnI Is apou6 HVe ieet
four inches. Her feet are not long. but
are abnormally broad, so that it is impos-.
sible to procure II ordinary pair OF
women's shoes to fit her. The same dim
Guilty is experienced in fitting her with
hose. Her mother explained that to meet
the embarrassment which this causes, she
buys two pair of hose for Della and makes
them into one.
Della's chair is a curious piece of furni-
ture, especially made for her, and asettee
intended for two people. Her bed is fur
nished with extra supports. Della was
asked if she experienced any difficulty in
upstairs I puff a little" Considering ner
enormous size she is wonderfully light
and active on her feet.
Compared with famous fat women OF
history, Della Beck o~utshines, or rather
outweighs, them all, when her age, is
taken into account. Hannah Battersby,
the latest woman that ever lived, did
not acquire her phenomenal proportions
until she was forty years old. M Big
Winnie, the colored heavy weight, was
thirty before she made a record for her
self.-PittsbuTy Times.

All OF q Kind.

at is hardly possible to be original in
such a big world as this" said a dear old
LADY. ST don't feel very lonely in any of
nv ~preiudices. Somebody is sure to
share them" Two ladies travelling to-
pether recorded a solemn resolution be-
fore starting that If they made acquaint-
ances by the way they would cann1ly
avoid telling their w destination.
For" said they, according TO the
tales we have heard, casualacquaintances
are always offering their company on any
route, and we don't propose being saddled
with unWelcome companions"
Now it happened that they did make
many acquaintances, and that all these
people studiously avoided any reference
to their own plans of travel. What could
the reason be? Neither of the two ladies
guessed, until one evening a chance bit
Of conversation, overheard on shipboard,
enlightened them:-
ssDon't tell q soul where we are going.
DEAR, a lady was saying to her husband,
'sor we shall have some of these small
parties Joining US. Don't lie, dear, but
evade them somehow"
Then the two travellers looked at each
other with eyes opened to a wider
worldly experience. For the first time
thew realized that they were not merely
avoiders of others, but persons to be
avoided.
The anecdote finds a parallel in the
true story of three teachers who went for
a few weeks to a summer resort, and re-
solved beforehand to tell no n their oc-
cupation. >,
said their spokeswoman. u with this
the theirs agreed heartily:
Their stay was delightfully."- enlivened
by the society OF another party OF culti-
waited women, and it was only when adj
dresses were exchanged on the last night
together that the latter were discovered
also to be teachers.

know" said one, amid the general merri-
ment that followed discovery. I'VE so
hated to be classified."-Y0uth's COM

The Smile Died Away.
An ancient specimen of the genus
ssmasher' entered an elevated car for
Wyandotte recently. He was rather
t~hreadbare but carefully brushed, and
was topped off with a shiny new silk hat.
With careful observation he cameo the
occupants of the car and then sat himself
down directly opposite an unusually
He smoothed his gloves. arranged his
cuffs and necktie and hen flashed an ir-
resistible smile at the pretty girl. She
looked hastily out of the window. by
and by she turned her head again, to meet
the same breadth of smile and the eyes
fixed steadily on her face. She looked an
noyed. He looked delighted. Her cheeks
grew pink. She had half q mind to
change her seat. Then all the bravery
in her nature mounted to her eyes.
Slowly she drew from her pocket a
lorgnette, and held it with the
most deliberate in~quisitiveness up to
her eyes. First she scanned the top
of his hat, Their slowly let her gaze creep
downward to his face with its wealth Of
smile, her own never changing by the
culver of a muscle. Down, down it went,
with fixed and stony stare, to the very
tips of his boots. There it paused for an
Instant. then began its slow upward
march, creeping along with the same
curious deliberation, very lruch as ore

was dimmed. When she reached the toes
they were decidedly uneasy, and by the
time she she was ready to scan his face

wants what She Asks For.

1t may surprise readers to hear that, al
though the Queen despises fashions, there
is no one more particular about her dress,
says the Lady's Pictorial. Comfort,
above all else. is what Her Majesty re-
quires in her garments. She is that rdrG
UUis, a oma who knows her own mind,
and, having given her orders plainly and
exactly, she expects them to be executed
TO the letter. Not very long since some
beautiful feather trimming, made in
Paris expressly for the royal wear, was
all sent back to be narrowed by half an
inch. Her Majesty had named the width
she desired to have, and at once perceived
that the trimming supplied ex-
ceeded 1t by the half inch. One of
the Queens favorite materials is a fine
black vicuna, with a diagonal pattern on
the right side. This is sold for W.
guineas the yard. To make a piece of
this lovely stuff a thousand skins are
often needed, as only the very finest
down-like wool is used. Her Majesty
takes the whole piece of fifty yards, al
though she seldom keeps more for herself
than suffices TO make one jacket or gown.
Each year the Queen has toHr cloth jack
cts made at a certain West End estab-
lishment. Each jacket is of a different
thickness to suit The different degrees OF
temperature. and our royal mistress Is SO
exceedingly sensitive that she detects the
difference of half an ounce in the weight
or dissatisfaction each jacket is carefully
weighed before IL is sent home. In some
cases one set of buttons has had to be re-
placed by another not so heavy before the
Queens jacket could be pronounced per-
feet.

The Coming Woman.


Once give full scope to the expression
of woman's powers, in any and every
form of activity that may correspond to
those powers; relieve alike from fear of
poverty and dependence, and from the
tyranny of enforced inactivity; and
~womanhood will blossom into a beauty
and strength and loneliness Of character
hitherto undreamed of. Especially in
the home relations of women will this be
apparent. AS an earnest thinker upon
the subject has said, 1T is inevitable
that the removal of any external pres
sure of necessity 10 marry for the sake of
a home and support will have a tendency
to elevate the standard of marriage, first
among women, and then among men,"
One of the greatest foes to happy mar
riages is the existence of the m~ercenary
spirit on the part of parents and dangh-
tiers.
Nothing will so effectively remove it as
the possession by young girls and women
of satisfactory, honorable. remunerative
occupations, and the countenance and
appreciation OF society in the pursuit OF
them. Margaret Fuller said:-ssNo wo-
man eau give her hand with dignity until
she has learned TO stand alone" The
day is near ut hand when the thoroughly
educated woman will be the one admir-

They Look Like Claws.


The nails of a fashionable woman are
often-to put it ~strongly-a positive
a~bomination. They are vulgar. just as
anything that is overdone and pronounced
as vulgar. And they are altogether ''agin
natur" quite as much so as if they were
stained with henna like those of her East
Indian sister. To conform to nature, the
nail should be trimmed round to follow
the line of the finger tip, instead Of being
slanted up in a long, sharp point, which
is supposed to add a tapering look to the
finger, but which really suggests the
claws Of a bird. And they are polished
too highly.
To a fastidious mind the overweight
glistening of the nail is as ofensive-be-
cause it is as unnatural-as the painted
cheek or the darkeneG eyes. Artifice in
the ingertips is no less vulgar than arti-
fee in the face. And it is not beautiful.
Nature is an artist VINO does not make
mistakes. If the beauty of the nail were
really enhanced by laying a hard, glisren-
ing polish upon it, she would have known
how to do SO.
