Here is a case to which Mrs. Faw-
cett's remark about the inconven-
ience of woman's changing her name
applies; it was as Mrs. Louise Jopling
that she painted the two pictures which
made her famous. Give O'Clock Tea," and
the splendid portrait of Ellen Terry which
now hangs in the supper-room of the Lyoe-
um theatre. BY this name she still signs
her pictures though Mr.. Jopling. who WAS
her second husband, died some three years
ago and she has since married her third
husband, MIR. Rowe.
Her genius is versatile. Her pastels are
excellent, and in oil she is equally success

glowing sunset skies, and in such concep-
tions as her Charlotte Corday;' fne pic

has done many sweet child pictures, but if
one were to express preference il would

previous to her marriage, and which every

they did other and presumably less partial

Mr.. Dodds Comes Home and Talks About
the Recent State Tournament. .
William Dodds. the local billiard player,
who represented this city in the recent State
tournament in Philadelphia. returned home
Yesterday. When seen by reporter at his
billiard rooms he talked quite Interestingly
about the tournament He said:
''The tournament was big success and
had quite pleasant time while there.
During the first few days 1 was very sick
and that accounts for my poor showing in
the early part OF the tournament. The
rumors to the effect that the table bothered
me and that was off my stroke was all non-
sense. was sick and the way played in
the latter part of the tourney proves 1t. l
felt all right when met Mclaughlin Mon
day night and defeated him in a splendid
game"
Referring to the various players in the
tourney, Mr. Dodds said: ''I would not
like to say who is the best player in the lot.
Cline is a fine PLAYER, and SO is Burris the
latter is quite Young and has great future
before him. Levy and Rhoades were out
classed. Mclaughlin, of course, is a good
player, but l am not inclined to say whom I
think is the best.''
Speaking OF tournament in this city, Mr..
Dodds said that he was not very favorable
toward the idea, as it would not do any good
to the small billiard rooms. Despite this
opinion, however, efforts are being made to
arrange a local tourney. Mr.. Walker has
many friends who think him a superior
PLAYER to Mr.. Dodds, and contest between
them would certainly be of great local in

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 17.-William D..
Wallace. charged with briblng Messrs.
Tate. Shaffer and Downing, of Beaver coun-
ty, was found not guilty by the jury this
morning. Mr.. Wallace. the defendant, and
David Mckinney, the prosecutor, will pay
the costs, one-half each.
When the court convened, Acting District
Attorney Gardner asked that the jury be
stood aside while the case Of J. R. Tate. for
bribery, could be tried. Mr.. Winternitz,
for the defense, said that he did not care to
take up the time of the Court. and that one
of the prosecuting attorneys had told him a
few days ago that they did not expect to
| find conviction, and they did not expect TO
have the three men under indictment testify
against themselves.
Then, on order of the Court, Tate, Shaffer
and Downing were brought before the Court.
! They were asked il they still refused to
| answer questions asked, and each man said
| he did refuse. S. W. Dana here argued
that the men be admitted to bail, as there
was no precedent under the new law to go
by, and they proposed to take the matter to
the Supreme Court The Court ruled that
the case proceed, and Mr.. Gardner said their
case rested, as they relied on the evidence OF
| the three men to secure a conviction. No
arguments were made, and the defense
offered nothing for their side, and before
noon the jury had brought in a verdict of
not guilty, and the costs to be divided
The Court then ordered the cases pending
against Tate, Shaffer and Downing, on the
charge of bribery, to be continued until the
| next term of court. The Court intimated
\ that there would be severe penalty given
the men who had refused to answer the
proper questions, and when Tate, Shaffer
and Downing were brought into the court
room for fiual sentence, the verdict was that
each man pay fine of 5000 and undergo an
imprisonment in the county Jail until
| March 10, 1891.
The three witnesses were seen later on by
your correspondent, and they each and all
stated they would refuse 10 answer any and
all questions which they thought might tend
to criminate themselves. They said they
were acting on the advice of their attorneys.
In the meantime their cases will be brought
before the Supreme Court, and it is hoped
by their attorneys that before their sentence
here expires decision will be given, when
! they hope for an order for their release. The
three men are in Jail, however, at the pres
ent moment, and attorneys for the prosecu-
tiou say they have fair chance of staying
there unless they should make up their
| minds to answer the questions which have
been ruled as proper by the Court.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE announcement
yesterday in regard to Jack McAuiife's
plans and intentions caused a stir in the
sporting world, and the members of the fra

completed arrangements for the battle,

the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, of Ho-

Workers of the coke region are about to begin
a movement for the establishment OF co-opera-

past three months but was not divulged until

would be used in the erection of building to
be occupied by a general store, from which
branch stores, located at all points throughout

the company will likely be at Everson, where
there Is plenty of land and where splendid rail-

Should this organization of cooperative

made fully manifest, the miners of the other
coal and coke regions wall also form companies

never before been attempted in this region.

SUCCESS Is ASSURED.
Confident Feeling of the Promoters of Big
Export Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE success of the
American Export and Trading Company, of
this city, in placing its Treasury stock upon
the market denotes the great value of the
business which this company is conducting
and the estimation in which it is held by the
business men, who have made a careful
study of the immense possibilities of making
large profits in connection with American
trade, if conducted by company like this,
whose manager fully understands it in all its
details.
Two important subsidiary companies have
been organized this week. each one ofwhich
will conduct all its business through the
American company, and will pay it hand
some profits. The time for subscription to
the treasury stock of the American Export
and Trading Company expires on Wednes-
day next, and IT is probable that the amount
offered will be largely oversubscribed.
