Lightning Put an Angel on . Portrait.
A portrait of the late John Taylor,
which j. H. Smith has on exhibition in
his store, attracts many visitors daily,
and has caused great deal Of discus
sion. The portrait formerly rested on
the mantelpiece at Mr.. Smiths residence
at Mount Olive. Recently, during
heavy storm, lightning flash struck it.
The frame was demolished, but the fash
left on the portrait clearly defined
picture of an angel with outstretched
wings overshadowing Mr.. Taylor's head,
the arms encircling his neck and the
right hand holding bunch of flowers
The pose Of the angel suggests protection
and benediction. The dark line show
ing the lightning's journey along the
cardboard turns abruptly just above the
face of Mr.. Taylor, giving the spectator
the idea that the angel changed the
ightning's course.
Superstitious people consider it as an
indication that Mr.. Taylor is in heaven,
but Mr.. Smith explains the phenomenon
by saying that the picture of an angel
exactly like that which appears on the
Taylor portrait was on the back of
photograph near by. He believes that by
some electrical freak the picture of the
angel was photographed over the por-
trait. The affair, however, has caused
great deal Of comment, and people for
miles around come to see the picture

Attorney Arthur S. Fisher, of Rock
ford, is a candidate for matrimonial
honors. He is member of the Owl
club, a society of Ogle county bachelors,
and his doom was sealed at it's picnic on
Aug. Is. During the day came the cleo
ton of officers. Among the officers is
one called "the $4,000 beauty of the
club" and he who is elected to this
office must marry within year and
withdraw from the society. The charm
has never failed to work yet, and every
man who has been elected to the office
has been married within the year. Every
other officer is elected by reclamation,
but this one is elected by solemn and
sacred ballot. When the ballots were
counted it was found that Mr.. Fisher
was the doomed man. The good natured
attorney made pleasant speech, and
tried in his clever way to turn it off as a
joke. The sequel has never failed to oc-
cur.-Chicago Herald.

Married Women Teachers.

The question concerning the advisable
ity of married women being employed as
teachers in the public schools has excited
widespread interest and discussion in
Cincinnati, not only among members Of
the board of education, teachers, patrons
and pupils Of the schools, but every mar
ried man and married woman is engaged
as partisans in the contest to decide the
supremacy of the single over the mar
ried woman's eligibility to service. The
board of education has finally declared
by vote of 10 to II not to employ mar
ried women as teachers hereafter.
The agitation was precipltated by a
resolution offered by one of the members
Of the board to the effect that the ap-
pointments Of all married women teach
ers should be reconsidered and their
places filed by single women. In sup
port Of his resolution the member adj
vanced the single but suggestive argu-
ment that there are 300 unmarried girl
graduates in the city who are unable to
obtain situations as teachers. He also
stated very emphatically that he was in
favor of "solid four ply rule that will
keep married women out Of the schools,
for they have no business there while
there is sufficient talent without them. "

Mrs. Brander Matthews, Mrs. and the

small tables, beautifully appointed, at
which twenty young American girls are
in charge. The young women were
trained by Miss Grace Dodge and placed
in their present position. They dress in
unstarched bingham, white caps and
pinafores, light soled shoes and bright
neck ribbons. Their hands and finger
nails are always clean, their tresses
lightly dressed, their voices are low.
their words few, their movements grace
full, and their service unapproachable.

Western Intellectual Impulses.

One Of the results of the Chautauqua
assemblies, which have a tendency to
awaken unnatural activity Of the brain
and an abnormal thirst for knowledge,
was shown recently. The 4-year-old son
of one Of the officers Of the Long Pine
assembly burned his fathers barn in Or
der to see what sort of a bonfire it would
make. He also wished to see whether
setting hen would preserve her presence
of mind when surrounded by flames, and
his observations will doubtless be val
liable contribution to science, although
the experiment was necessarily expen-
sive to the parent Of the young Chautau-
guam. The setting hen deserted her pros
pective family and saved her life, fact
which proves that in the disposition of
the hen the instinct of self preservation
overbalances. maternal devotion. There
is no doubt Chautauqua assemblies have
given great intellectual impulse to the
rising generation.-O Omaha World-Her-

A visit to the partially completed Con-
gressional ibraryis quite amusing. Not
that there is much that is interesting in
the shapeless tangle Of brick and stone,
but it is the instructions visitors get at
the the gate that are amusing. When one
goes in at the wide gate through the
board fence on the East Capitol street
side he is not apt to notice little old
man that sits in little house just inside
the gate. If one doesn't notice him the old
Waterman will stop one with an impera-
tive "Hey, there!" One stops, and in
the richest sort of an Irish brogue is
told: "Now, yez can go in and look
about as much as yez loike. But there
is some things yez mustn't do. Don't
talk to any of the men. Don't go on.top
of the walls, and don't go inside of the
building anywhere. An don't yez ask
any Of the men questions Moind that,
now, and yez can see all ye plase."-

the scarcity of other fruits, cranberries
will probably start at 81 per barrel

BANKS " RECKED
TWO BANKS in NEW YORK
SUSPEND PAYMENT.
4 DEFICIT OF OVER 4 HALF MILLION
The Lenox Hill Bank Goes Under and
tho Sixth Avenue in the Hands o
a Reeeiyer-The Directors Liable
for Twice the Capital.

NEW YORK, January 3l.-The Len
OK Hill Bank, third avenue and
Seventy-second street, has suspended
payment. 1t is controlled by the
same parties who last week bought
the control of the Sixth National
Bank, Broadway and Thirty-fourth
street, which had already been closed
by the bank examiner. The knowl-
edge of the relation of the two insti-
buttons caused run on the Lenox
which it was unable to meet.
The president, Charles E. Wallack,
of the Leno1 Hill Bank, was informed
soon after the opening of the bank
yesterday morning that IL run was
being made upon it, owing. to
its supposed connection with
the Sixth National Bank. In
all there was but $4,000 cash on
hand when the bank opened. Extra
ordinary efforts were made and $780,
600 more was raised. Meanwhile Mr.
Wallack went down town to try and
obtain more funds. While he was
gone Cashier Van Zant, who had by
noon paid out the 100000, could not
longer stand the demands and closed
the bank at that hour. The entire
amount of money deposited for the
day was but $500. The financial con-
dition of the bank is about as follows:
On deposit, $270,000; capital paid III,
100000; loans and discounts, $780,
600; amounts due other banks, $50
600. The directors, it is said, are
liable for two times more than the
capital. A reorganization of the
bank was had on the 10Th of Deem
Der last, when Mr.. Wallack became
president.
