AN INTERESTING CASE.

The Countess sarO1ta Ways Marriage TO
Pretty Young Maiden.
Prof. Kraft Ebing, the famous special
ist in mental diseases, in book just
published devotes long chapter to an
interesting case which came before an
Austrian court of justice about year
ago, and, without attempting to explain
its cause, says that it would be well for
doctors to take note of it. In November,
1889, the father-in-law of Count Sander
Way accused the latter of having OBJ
tanned from him 500 forms under false
pretenses. The trial showed net only
that this was quite true but that Count
Way had forged documents and had con-
cluded sham marriage with the prose-
cutor's daughter. being in reality not a
man at all, but the Countess Sarolta
Way, who had for years passed herself
off for man by wearing mems clothes.
The Countess Sarolta's father, spend-
thrift, who ran through |, 500, 900 forms,
brought up his two children as his eraay
mind dictated. The girl went as boy
and the boy as girl. When the boy
reached fifteen he became cadet and
the comedy ended for him. Not so with
Sarolta, who was known as Sander. Be-
fore she was eighteen she drank, smoked,
fenced cleverly, spent the evenings at
cafes, and had several love affairs
Everybody in Buda-Pesth took her for
man. Three years ago she made the
acquaintance of the daughter of a gov
ernment clerk who had just passed her
examination as school-mistress. After
two years of courting they eloped and
were married in Hungary, false priest
officiating and an intimate friend acting
as witness. The pair lived together for
six months, until the father-in-law,
alarmed by the sad state of the Counts
finances, sued him for fraud. 1t has not
been possible to ascertain whether the
wife was really attached to her "hus-
band" or whether the fear of being the
object ofridicule kept her quiet. Sarolta
Way was acquitted. She returned to
Buda-Pesth and to her male attire and
her habits of smoking and drinking.
She writes for the newspapers, and is
not without talent. Her only grief she
declares ia that she has been robbed OF
what she calls her lawful wife.-Londou

The truth is that the current criticism
whose shibboleths are romanticism and
realism has got into the polemic stage
which is the same thing as saying
that it has ceased to be criticism. Crit
icism is mainly an affair Of analysis and
classification. These afford It ample
scope, and dealing successfully With
them confers abundant dignity. To de.
cry Scott or exa1t Mr.. Rider Haggard is
to be the slave of an abstraction, than
which nothing is less critical. 1t may
be useful by way of shocking the illitr
crate and inattentive into a comprehen-
sion OF your position, but it is not criti.
cism, because your eye is not on the
object. but on your position, which also,
in this case, is hopelessly outside the
circle of operations of true contempo-
rary strategy. The realistictcontroyer.
sialists are especially slow to perceive
this. Not only are they singularly blind
to the success of their own party among
the noyelists, whose material is exclu-
siveIy human life and character thow
else explain their heat?), but they seem
to insist that every one who deals with
fiction at all should deal exclusively

Keeplng Machinern from Rustlne.

Amechanic says that in order to keep
machinery from rusting he takes one
ounce OF camphor and dissolves it in a
pound of melted lard, taking off the
scum, and mixing in as much fine black
lead as will give it color. The ma
chinery is then cleaned and smeared
with this mixture. After twenty-four
hours the machinery is rubbed clean
with soft linen cloth, and it will keep
clean for months. The same artisan
gives the following method of harden
ing tools: Forge the tool into shape,
then meltAin a dish sufficient Babbitt
metal to cover the end of the tool as far
as il is wished to harden it. Thrust
the tool into the metal and let it cool.
This method makes the tool much
harder than cooling in oil or temper
ing by any other process. = Chicago

Cardinal Gibbons Exclamation.

The attention of Cardinal Gibbons was zee
terday called TO a criticism made BY Bishop
Vincent Of the Methodist Episcopal Church In
an address at the Chautauqua convention In
Plymouth Church. Brooklyn. II is said Bishop
Vincent ''censured the action of Cardinal Glib
bons In placing President Harrison on his Left
hand at the Catholic University banquet in
Washington year ago, while he reserved the
seat OF honor for the Canadian cardinal"
Bishop Vincent thought President Harrison
should have left the table and he could never
forgive him for not having done So" The
cardinal said he fully recognized the propriety
of giving the President the seat Of honor az
a banquet. On the occasion referred to Presi-
dent Harrison did not enter the room until
near the close of the banquet. Cardinal Glib
bons and Cardinal Taschereau OF Quebec, who
were guests, were seated, and when the Presi-
dent was ushered into the hall toward the close
OF the dinner Cardinal Gibbons arose and
offered the President q vacant seat beside his
own.

nothing is known of what ID doing. The police
are still looking for the last Of the assassins Of
Hennessey. who has 90 far escaped them. and
who in their opinion left the city imme diately
after the murder. They say that they can
identity him, and viii YET b able 70 lay their
hands on him.
Some excitement was created yesterday by
the finding of the body Of q murdered Italian
IN the river just above New Orleans in an oil
cloth sack. When the sack was opened IL dis
closed the body Of Q man who had evidently
been strangled to death. The murdered man
from his dress and features was evidently an
italian. His murder, however, could hardly
have had any connection with the Hennessey
assassination. An investigation showed that
the body had been in the water ct least three
weeks.

1000 Italian immigrants on board, has arrived
