Especial Correspondence

LONDON, Oct. II. - Lady Florence
Dixie is one of the most talked-of women
in tho United Kingdom. She has a
head like Il handsome and possibly er-
ratio boy, With short, wavy hair full of
threads of gold. Her features are bold,
eyes fine, nose little heavy, mouth at
tractive and decided. Her complexion
is brilliant as of woman who lives
much out OF doors.
t The first time I saw her sho was
pointed out to me OH country road,
riding chestnut mare. AS all tho
world knows, Lady Dixie uses a cross
saddle. Her habit was black, tho short,
divided skirt partially covering high
riding boots of natty description. In
doors She has equally the courage of her
dress reform convictions. A very usual
costume with her is white flannel
blouse or shirt with tartan kits lust
the knees and long tartan
stockings. TO this she added when n
friend introduced me to her library, a
loose shooting jacket and shoes with
silver buckles.
This library is long, low room with
ivy pecping i'll at the windows. An
open fro burns on the hearth, and
souvenirs of travel are scattered about.
The prominent feature is largo,
solid-loolling writing-table, with proof
sheets strcwn on one side, piles of
letters and childrcn's school books on
the other, and i'll front vase of purple
foX-slovcs and photographs of Mrs.
Mona Card and John Stuart Aiills.

Sheriff Wickert. This is his second
attempt. us he tried to escape by scaling
the yard wall in July last, but fell from
tho top of the wall to the yard, injuring
himself so badly as to necessitate mcdi-
cal treatment ever since.
His last attempt Was by digging two
holes through the wall. lie had evil

before he was discovered. The first hole
was from his cell into the parlor. but
was not completed on account of encoun-
tcring big stone. Fearing discovery.
he covered the hole with his sheet, past
ing it to the wall with paste made from
gravy left from his dinner. The second
hole was near the cell window. leading
into the yard. The hole was almost
large enough for his body to pass
through, but in attempting to crawl
through he got fast, and was prevented
by his weak back from succeeding, and
daylight brought discovery. He says
he was trying to catch the fast mail to
take h;i, away from Winchester. The
only tool used in digging through the
wall was an iron poker, and his bed
