SATURDAY, MARCH 8.
Outline of the Plot.

''For Love OF Lancashire Lass opens in
busy town where factories and operatives
abound.
1t is a winters morning; men, women and
children are hurrying to their work through the
snow-cOyered tboroughfares.
4 woman is discovered lying deed In the street,
her arms firmly clasping little child whose cries
attract attention and excite compassion. In
this unfortunate little one the scrutiniZing read-
er viii not fail to perceive the heroine Of the
story.
Her history is honorable, but the worthy cou-
pie who adopt her are in ignorance thereof.
She is educated and trained as a cnttOn fac
tory operative, knowing nothing of her parents
or of the wealth and position to which she Is
rightfuly entitled.
Meanwhile, there is abundance of plotting and
contemplating.
There are those who are scheming to prevent
her ever knowing her true position, and others
wishful to reveal all, but fearful of the con-
sequences in other quarters.
''For Love of a Lancashire Lass contains
many striking situations and dramatic episodes.
among others being descriptions OF a great mill
fire, the terrible food at Johnstown, America, IN
which the hero is supposed to be lost.
As picture OF contemporary industrial LIE in
large centers OF population the story Is 9t once
unique and powerful, the incidents Of daily toll,
trade panics, strikes and other kindred matters
being introduced with skill and effect

The remarkable success which attended the
recent publication of Mr.. J. N. Fosters realistic
story or Lancashire Mining Life-''A Pit Brow
Lassie' has secured to the author degree OF
popularity exceedingly gratifying. A Pit Brow
Lassie'' showed the authors intimate acqunint-
snce with the conditions obtaining ia the homes
of the toiling poor, and displayed his skill At
evolving powerful and absorbing story out OF
what might be considered, at first, very unsatls-
factory materials.
In his Forthcoming story the author passes
from the realms OF realism TO the facinating
field of romance-but romance founded upon
actual fact-and from first to last his story bears
the impress of truth. The novel will powerfully
appeal to the sympathies Of allreaders in artisan
and industrial centers,

corn was light. very little interest being mani
tested, and fluctuations were confined TO the
fractional range, with operations almost exclu-
sively local. The market opened shade under
the closing prices Of yesterday, and was easy for

The Queer Case That Maine Judge
VIII Have to Decide.
A curious case is shortly to come before
the court at Portland. Me-, being the trial
of a man for tie theft of the hand of a
woman who has been dead twenty years.
The story in connect n is most remarka-
BILE one In 1870 Ronald Seatorth, an
Englishman engaged in the lumber bust
ness here, lost his mother, Mrs. Anne Sea-
forth. This lady on her deatll-bed made her
son promise to lay her remains beside those
of her husband, who is buried in England,
near Hull. For various reasons Mr.. Sea
forth has never been able to keep this
promise until the last spring, when early in
May he had the holy eXhumed, proposing TO
take it 20 England.
1t was noticed that the coffin was extra
ordinarily heavy, and to ascertain the cause
it was opened, when it was found that the
body had completely turned to stone. Mrs.
Seatorth, whose death took place when she
was barely 40, was a rarely beautiful woman,
with hands particularly symmetrical and
small, and ii Is said that her pet,itied form
seemed an exquisite statue carved in gray
marble. Pending his sailing with it the
body was left by Mr.. Spaforth in the charge
of Lawson, an undertaken OF this place.
When Mr.. Seaforth called for the remains
he found that the right hand had been
broken off at the wrist and was gone.
He accused Lawson of the theft, and pro-
curing a SeIrch-warrant found the hand in
the latter'S private desk. The case has at
tracted a great deal of attention, as it is
thought by lawyers to be unique. Lawson
viii plead guilty to the charge. He says
that he wanted the hand as a curiosity ard
article of vertu. and did not steal it for the
ring of gold and pearls ON the forefinger-
