A correspondent writing from Paris
on the subject of the concealment of
personal defects says that the reason
why the bodices Nine. Modieska ap-
pears in are always decorated with a
cluster of flowers or knot of ribbon Just
at the left of their fastenings is that an
ugly scar on the breast, which looks as
if it might be the result of a wound
from pionard souvenir of some past
romance, must be concealed in some
way. When this device becomes monot-
onous a little scarf of silk will be traiIed
carelessly across the open corsage in
diagonal lines, tiny fan of lace will
spring out from the corner. or little
knot of feathers will wave softly against

LURED TO HER RUIN,
a Wheeling Girl in the Meshes of
New York's Net

Wheeling Girl in the Meshes of
New York's Net.
WHEELING, w. VA, April 5.--Under
oath last evening Katie Habig, an ex-
tremely handsome 16.year. old girl,
daughter of Peter Habig of this city,
made statement which rivals in its
horrible and putrescent details the reve-
lations of the East End scandals of Lon
don. The chief scene is laid in the
house No. 237 Fifty. first street, New
York, and one of the leading actors is
Harry Howell, whose business is
broker or banker, having an Office in
Wall street.
He is said by the girl to be million
aire, and he certainly seems to have
been lavish in the use of money. Miss
Habig's story shorn of its details and
its revolving features, is that Charles Il.
Boutwell,, her uncle by marriage, has
been living in New York for some years
with Wheeling woman named Katie
p. Falsteck, the couple not being mar
ried, and running resort for wealthy
men.
In July, 1880, after repeated solicita-
ton by letter, Boutwell, came to Wheel
iuS anu luuuCcu L tltI llduiS W dllOW
his daughter to return to New York
with him, where he would educate and
keep her The uncle took his niece to
the house on Fiftyfrst street, and there
used her as means of extracting
money from Howell to keep himself in
idleness and luxury. Howell rented
and furnished the house. The girl,
Katie Habig, was kept a prisoner there,
where she was subjected to the most
revolving cruelties by Howell, and in
his absence by Boutwell,
On February II Boutwell, took his
niece and his mistress to Jacksonville,
Fla, and en- route there was a terrible
quarrel in a sleeping car, which was
continued in Jacksonville There the
girl escaped and came to Wheeling on
the 23d
Boutwell, arrived here yesterday
with the Falsteck girl, in search of Katie
Habir, without whom Boutwell, had no
longer the means of extracting money
from Howell. There was quarrel at
the house of Habig last night, during
which Mrs. Habig was knocked down
| by chair in the hands of Boutwell,,
who was badly hurt. Boutwell, was ar
rested and the story came out.
The Falsteck woman had bad
| record here, having shot herself In the
head about ten years ago, on account of
quarrel with one, Frazier. who after.
ward committed suicide. The story
had created tremendous sensation
here.

HE WAS TOO POLITE.

Slim Passenger who Could NOT see
Fat Woman,
The ear was crowded. A slim girl
got on at Illinois street, and several
slim fellows bounced up and offered her
their seats. AT Chicago avenue q fat
woman got on, but no fat man bounced
up 10 give her seat, says the ArkdnSGio
7rdrelier. There sat in the forward
corner man that had come either
from Egypt or Southern Indiana, and
when he saw the fat woman he got up
and said:
"Here, mizzes, take this seat"
The woman waddled forward, thanked
him and sat down. He caught hold of
a strap, looked at her few moments,
and then, so loud that every one could
hear, remarked:
II notice that thar amt many polite
fellers in this town"
Not very many" the woman as
IL amt so very polite myself" he
went on. Down our way they think
I'm putty tolerable rough at times"

AN INTERESTING POINT.


Washington Merchants Experience
with Naturalization Laws.
An interesting question affecting the
naturalization laws has been brought
out by bill now pending before Con-
gress for the relief of two of Washing
toms most prosperous and energetic
merchants, Messrs. julius and James
Lansburgh. The measure has been
reported favorably from the House
Committee on the Judiciary, and will
no doubt become law when it comes
up for passage.
The two gentlemen named have re-
sided in this city many years. In 1855,
when James was but 12 years of age,
and julius 8, they immigrated to
this country from the free city of Ham
burg. Ever since that time they have
labored under the impression that their
father, who died at Baltimore in 1851.
was q naturalized citizen of the United
States. Being of such tender ages
when they reached this country they
did not think 1t was necessary to take
any further steps to perfect their citi-
zenship. In fact, until last year they
fully believed they were citizens in
every sense of the word and entitied to
full protection as such.
About three years ago the Lansburgh
brothers became interested in extensive
real estate transactions and invested
much money therein. They both erected
large business blocks. About one year
ago they were informed that their father
had not been naturalized. and
that they could not, there
fore, be recognized as full citi-
zens at the time they erected the blocks
in question. They also learned that
this valuable real estate could be seized
and forfeited by the Government un-
deI the provisions of an act of Con-
gress to restrict the ownership Of real
estate in the Territories to American
citizens, which was approved and be-
came a law March 3, 1887, before they
went into the heavy real estate trans
actions.
Both James and Julius became natu-
ralized in the Supreme Court, but as
there was considerable fog hanging
over the property under the above ACT
they have asked Congress to relieve
them from its operations. For this
purpose the bill in their interest was
introduced.

that part Of her throat which evening
dress exposes.
Sophie Croizette Of the Theatre
Francois had deep vaccination scar
far down her plump arm, which she
used to conceal with knot of ribbons,
or trail Of flowers, aud with gold
bracelet before she became so stout that
the bracelet had to b, as large as n
waistband. Speaking Of the dishgure-
ment one night to some friends, one of
the ladies quietly picked up wax taper
OFF the toilet table, and, holding II
above the arm, allowed single drop
OF melted wax to fall over the place.
When II hardened she busted little
pink powder over 1t, and Croizettes
scar was lost 10 sight. Croizett's make
up box contained ever after bit Of wax
taper.

DEAF AND DUMB POOL.
New Style of the Game Which Owes 1T
~ Rostan

New Style of the Game Which Owes Its
Origin to Boston.
In one of the up. town art galleries,
where there is billiard hall attach
ment, a considerable sensation was
caused the other evening by the ex-
traordinary behavior of party of young
men at the pool table, says the New
York San. They had come on from
Boston to see what real city looks like,
and having taken somewhat roseate
view by daylight, they dropped into the
art gallery for aesthetic and other
recreation. Oddly enough, they at
tracted attention at first by the extraor-
dinary silence that attended their play,
to time by the most uproarious demon
strations of joy. 1t was very strange,
and before long all other players left
games and joined the patrons of the
bar in watching the Boston performers.
twas observed at the beginning of
game that the players raised their cues
from the floor and looked at the marker,
who Immediately called Time" Then
the playing began in the usual way, but
during the progress of the game no
player spoke, chalked his cue or let its
butt touch the floor. The game once
finished, the cues came tlown with a
bang, and all parties made up for lost
talk in tumult of criticisms, protests,
laughter and wild yelling. The real
fun came, however, when somebody
broke the rule At one time, for in.
stance, player made a pocket by pal
pable error 1t was too much for
the patience of one other, and he eX-
claimed involuntarily:
'Thunnder and beans! What a
scratchW
Thereupon the spell was broken
Everybody howled, pounded the floor
and named his choicest refreshment
The one in error had to pay for the
game as if It had been finished, and
settle for drinks besides. Then they
began over again. Forfeits were more
numerous than finished games as the
night wore on, and the art gallery lost
no money by the abandonment of the
other tables. The spectators hung on
until a. M, and before they left they
voted that the Boston young men and
their game were more fun than goat.
