CONSUL TO SIERRA LEONE.

CONSUL TO SIERRA LEONE.
 Appointnaent of NET. BolAing Bowser to
 the East Coast of Africa.
 Mr. Bolding Bowser. the well known Hart ford barber, who has been appointed consul to Sierra Leone, one of the English colonies on the west coast of Africa, gives the follow ing brief sketch of his interesting career:
 CT was born in Stark county, Ohio, De- cember 16, 1880. My parents emigrated there from Virginia in 1898. Being free people they were compelled to leave Virginia on account of the Nat Turner insurrection, which occurred about that time. Persons acquainted with the doings of those slavery days will readily call to mind the law passed to drive all the free negroes out of the state or be sold into slavery. When became old enough attended the schools of those days and was compelled to fight my way at times, being the only oolored boy attending school. When was fifteen was admitted to "Westland" academy. After graduating I commenced school teaching in western Ohio in 1853. Becoming tired of teaching removed to the state of Iowa in 1858 and while following my daily vocation found time to read law under the direction of friendly lawyer in Mount Pleasant, Henry county. After two years took no- oAon " oAAkIaeo " AlbeIlh huu pIAetlco lRW. I sailed from Baltimore in May, 1869. After arriving there was admitted te the bar in August, 1860. The practice of law was not very remunerative there. Iobtained situa- ton with trading company of Liverpool, England, (Hatton q Coekson) and continued in their employ six years. In 1875 left Liberia and came to Hartford, and have lived here in quiet way, endeavoring not to bs very conspicuous, although having been idanti6ed with all movements to elevate my poopIe in this utate ID to m pzegent time. z

THE MAsUULINE GIRLS.
The World Can stand Most AnythlE
 They Do Nowadays.


 They Do Nowadays.
 The woman of today is unique. Such 6 type was never known before. Now that she has decided to ride horseback man fash ion, she aroused so much alarm that socie ty has been formed in England for the pur pose of checking her headlong career toward masculinity. The world can stand the mod. ern girl when she wears masculine shirts collars, cuffs, cravats, gloves, boots, jackets ulsters, hats, rings, umbrellas, waistcoats and even a single glass; but when she pro- poses to straddle a horse there is sudder jerk backward, writes Blakeley Hall to tht illustrated American. The American gir has the fad. For some inscrutable reason she has a rabid desire to lay hold of he. beauty and compress it into the semblance of brick. Tho purpose of her life is the abolition of the curve. The soft, gracefu and symmetrical lines of the symbol of ab solute beauty-the untrammelled figure of , beautiful woman-are squeezed and forced into the rigid and wooden form of men'i attire. With the masculine clothes hal come grenadier like carriage and 8 manner that is everything but feminine.
 In England the desire of women to rid, man fashion is not half hearted one at all They claim that they are handicapped by the side saddle in cross country riding They are lighter in weight and often more daring and skilful than men, but owing tc the difficulty of riding fraotious or ugly horse with a pummel saddle, they are nearly always behind in the dangerous runs across country which the fox hunters take.
 Women forget the advantage of the oppo. site sex in greater length of limb. Yet it fl an advantage. have seen plucky women 1T the hunting countries of England, and more notably in Ireland, who rode fiery and pow. erful sixteen hand hunters over the stiffes country with perfect ease. They were ofter small women, and they could not have clune on their horses back ten minutes without { pummel to grip in the jumps.

Arrested Last Evening by Detective
 Brewer.


 For some time past there has been com plaints made to the police of the sharp trans actions of young man who has been oan- wasting the city ostensibly in the interests of @ crayon portrait company. He carries large life size crayon likeness of little girl with him as @ sample. It Is nicely framed in antique style. He represents to his vic- tims that he will furnish them with crayon likeness of themselves, or whomsoever they may furnish him with photograph. The price of this, he says, will be one dollar, in- oluding the handsome frame. When he ob. tians the money. however, he fails to appear again to his unsuspecting patrons and they have grown weary of waiting.
 Detective Brewer took . description of the man, and yesterday afternoon. as the deteo- tive was descending the steps of the police building, he ran plump into the sharp stranger, who was hastening along with his sample portrait under his arm. The detective lost no time in securing his prisoner, and the man was sc surprised that he did not attempt to escape. He makes several con- tradictory statementsof himself. At first he claimed to come from New York and after wards from Boston. He was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses and will be taken before the city court this morning.
