A Brave Western Woman.

From La Conner, Ore, Nail
In the backwoods OF Baker river lives the
bravest, most Industrious and most courageous
little lady in Skasit county. Her husband is n
man Of limited means, and often has to leave
home to earn means to support them while
they arc improving their home. This being the
first year their place is not self-sustaining and
III such cases his wife stays at home entirely
alone. All the company she has is a Winches-
ter rifle and a three-pound ak. Every morning
after she does her homework she takes her
three-pound AK and goes to clearing, chopping
and burning brush. She is determined to have
a self-sustalning and profitable home, and when
her husband Is at home she shoulders her ak
and goes to the clearing with him i'll spite of
his protest against it, she says she can chop to
the heart of d tree nearly as quickly as he can
This lady weighs only LOG pounds, but she has
a ton OF ambition and staying qualities. She
was rocked in the cradle of case, raised in the
lap OF luxury, Is well educa ted, and the life she
is now living is entirely foreign to her. She
has had no experience III roughing it, but she
is not one Of the kind that sits and whires over
past lore. She has strong arms, brave heart
and willing mind, and IL determined to sur
mount the worst difficulties and reap a reward

TWO WOMEN TICKET AGENTS,
Prospect That Others May BE EN-
p!oyed on the Elevated Road.

From the New York sun.
The recent appointment OF two women as
ticket agents at tho Boerum place station Of
the Kings County Elevated railway has led
others to apply for places. They are told there
are no vacancies at present, but their names
often are taken and reserved for future refer
ence. In the absence of General Manager
William L. Goundie representative OF the
company said yesterday that positively none Of
the men would be turned away to make room
for women
But" it WAS asked. ais il to be the rule
hereafter that women will be appointed to fill
vacancies as they may occur?"
There Is no reason why women should not
be appointed" was the reply. I'VE believe
they viii prove honest and capable"
The official. however, would not commit HIM
self as to whether or not this was to be the
future policy OF the company. There are draw
Backs 20 tie employment OF women. A ticket
agent on an elevated road as everybody
knows, has often to deal with some pretty ugly
customers. The two women who are now act
ing as ticket agents are not deferred By this
consideration.
AS for drunken men," said General Ticket
Agent a. Z. Devereaux, 1.-THE gateman can take
care of them. think the women will have no
trouble. The very fact that they will have to
deal With woman will tend to make drunken
men behave themselves. But if there should
De any unruly customers the gateman would
attend to them"
| OF the two female ticket agents one goes on
duty at am. and stays until 3 pm.-ten
I hours She is relieved then by the other, who
remains until o'clock the next morning-ten
hours. They will be expected to work seven
! days IN the week, the same as the men. He
said they understand this and had offered no
| objection. 1t is said the road had economy in
view when IT introduced the innovation. The
men are paid Sl2 per week, whereas the women

ROMANCE OF A CABBAGE.
The Part Played by the Unpoetic Vege-
table In Making Two People Happy.

From the Scn Francisco Chronicle.
Romances and the rose 60 hand in hand and
the dainty violet and the modest lily have often
opened the portals Of love, but it has been left
to California to produce the only cabbage that
ever led to a real romance that wound up in a
wedding.
Ei2hteen months ago, according to the I'M
questionable statement Of Granville W. Alexan-
der, grain merchant in this city, there stood
in front Of the door of ono Of San Francisco's
real estate dealers q cabbage from San Bernard
inc county weighing ninety-two pounds and
said to be the largest ever raised. While this
production of CALIFORNIA; greatness was on ex-
hibition the Oregon express landed from Eng
land two Brltons. SO fresh from their native
soil that they walked along the dry and dusty
streets with surtouts down to their ankles and
their trousers rolled up to meet their coats.
They were both bound for Australia. Passing
along they espied the wonderful cabbage.
Both men stopped short. Up went two single
eyeglasses.
by Jove, old boy, that's a doosedly large
cabbage doncherknOw"
'Doosedly large" replied the second sur
prised son of Albion, and then they both went
IN and inquired Of the real estate man where
1t was grown.
Both men were wealthy. Both men were
cousins, and while unknown to them the busy
manu- vi Idte WAS at WOTk, IL only seemed 10 the
curiosity seekers that in deciding that life
would be misspent unless they saw the land
upon which this cabbage grew they were obey
ing the idle whim of idle gentlemen in going
to San Bernardino to do So And SO they
went.
Englishmen as rule arc not garrulous, and
these two friends were 10 exceptions. Once
IN san BernardIno thoy were directed to the
the farm where the cabbage grew. They re-
manned two weeks. At the end OF that time one
OF them said to the rancher:
Il want SO much of your land in q certain
section. How much Is it worth?"
-Four hundred thousand dollars"
1t was paid for. The other friend said to the
rancher:
Your daughter is very beautiful and love
her. want to make her my wife"
Two months ago there was "a wedding at the
ranch. There were IL number of people pres
ent. friends of the family, and the & room threw
aside his taciturnity long enough at the supper
table to tell how the big cabbage had led to his
happiness

PARIS TO LIVE IN.
Essentially q Town Of Middle Class
People-Rents for Dwellings

"The number Of private hotels and residential
premises in Paris of rental of over EI,OOO .
year is surprisingly small considering the rep
utation for wealth the French capital has ac-
CURED" remarks the Pal Nal Gazette. There
are In this capital altogether ,291 houses, di-
vided into 1, 14l, 955 tenancies Of which %, 159
are workshops aud manufactures, 303, 32s are
shops and places Of business, and $40, 46S are
apartments or hotels for human habitation.
Half Of these apartments or fats do not bring
In higher rental than :fl2 per annum. That
Is the average sum that a workman will have
to pay for two diminutivs rooms on the fifth,
sixth, or seventh story Of q crowded tenement
where the only advantage altitude gives is the
chanoe OF breathing some of the fresh air Of
heaven. OF flats ranging in rent from Gao to
t6O year there are 81, 974; from $50 to ESQ
rental, 1878; from EGO to f400 rental,
l2,222; from f400 to $500 a year, 1850;
while Of Inhabited houses with rental of over
$500 there are only 470 Shop rents in the
busy parts Of the town are enormously dear.
1t Will thus be seen that, with perhaps the
exception OF the districts of the Faubourg
Saint-Germain, the Champs Elysees, and the
Pare Monceau, Paris is essentially a city of
mlddle-class people and workmen, who in the
matter OF rent taxes and octroi have to pay
pretty stlff1y for the privilege of living in it,

estimated that the gross rental of Paris reaches
the respectable total of $50, 1000 900 a year,
while the value Of the whole OF the property
IN the French capital, dwelling houses. shops
and manufactures, Is put down at G4i0, 600, 900.
At tho present moment there are nearly 40, 900
places Of business or flats vacant or about
1000 moro than at this time two years ago.
Taking into consideration the convenience
given in exchange for the rental, the average

Heirs Of an Old French Lady Find II
by Accident

Paris Dispatch TO the London Daily telegraph
PygmaIion, the ancient artist, could not be
more overjoyed when his statue became trans
formed into q lovely woman than the heirs OF
the late Nine. Artaud, who recently died in
Paris, when they discovered considerable for
tune carefully hidden away in the interior Of a
common plaster of paris reproduction of the
famous Venus of Milo. The history Of the sud-
den find is curious and entertaining. Nine.
Artaud died without making will, and, as she
had no notary, her children and grandchildren
appealed to a financial adviser of the deceased
who used occasionally to put her money out in
stock exchange specuatons. That tho old
lady had left fair share OF lucre was certain,
and as not a silver nor bank motto could be
found anywhere in her rooms. the heirs came
10 the natural conclusion that the fnancia
agent must have been lntrusted by Mime. Artaud
before she made her exit from this world. The
agent declared in the most positive manner
that he had received nothing for long time
from Nine. Artaud, who, feeling her end ap-
preaching, gave up bourse specuations
This did not satisfy the hers, who plumply
accused the agent of having appropriated what
did not belong to him. but as they had no
proofs agains: him, they were unable to begin
legal proceedings. They accordingly set to
work to divide the furniture and general be-
longlngs of the deceased between them. The
dining room and salon chairs, tables and trap
pings were in empire style and worth from
$500 to E400, but, it would be impossible to
obtain more than half their value, the discon-
tent among the heirs increased lottery of
the effects having been organized, an old statue
representing the Goddess of Love fell to one of
the daughters of the deceased, who was about
to break it with vexation, when one of her
relatives proposed to examine il to see if by
any chance it we're rare work of art The
base of the statue was covered over underneath
with oil cloth. and when the covering was re-

the heat Of passion over game Of cards.
Flaccomio had been playing a game Of cards
called trinocria shortly before he went to his
death on the fatal Sunday night in the shadow
of the Cooper Institute. But this is a ruse of
the Malta In u majority of cases. The killing
and quarrel are alike arranged beforehand
The murderer has no fear of his fellow-coun-
trymen appearing in court as witnesses against
him. They dare not testify against him much
less accuse him.
These Malta outrages crop out in various
parts of tho country from time to time A
year ago Luigi Cardono was horribly beaten
and MANNED by Pedro and Martin Ubarlet at
the Repeto ranch In Los Angeles county, Cal
Cardono plucked up courage and brought suit
for damages, when the facts came out of the
Malta connection. The vengeance of La Malta
and the persistencv with which they hunt down
their victims, following them over the four
quarters OF the globe, ID something almost in
credible. Some twelve or fourteen years ago
the mayor of a town in Italy was murdered by
maiefactor named Nell, known to belong TO
La Malta.
Tho criminal was arrested and Imprisoned
but before his trial he escaped and shortly
afterward took another life. After tho second
crime even the influence of La Mafa it was
feared, was not suficint to save him from pun
fshment. 1t was sufficient, however, to secure
his flight from the country, and he came to
America and San Francisco. The time of his
arrival was soon marked by the beginning of a
series of robberIes, in which Nell Blanca and
Messinia and two other Sicilans were finally
arrested, tried, convicted and sent to states
prison through the efforts Of Capt Stone, chief
of the San Francisco police. In working up
the case Capt Stone obtained positive proof of
the existence of such a society as La Malta
and OF MelTs connection with it. He was de-
hvered over to the Italian authorities in New
York to be extradited, but SO great was the
influence OF La Malta that he escaped and the
murder OF the mayor was never avenged.
