Some lives there are among us as sweet
10 the soul as flowers to the senses, and
to this class Mime. Antoinette Calyo
belongs. If you have ever been to the
Tombs OH Saturday or Sunday says the
N. Y. World, you certainly noticed a
lady in black, with dalk, sad eyes, a
quiet restful face and snow-white hair
glide through the corridors. Thew call
her the eyed lady, and so she is
good and born lady. Born i'll Italy,
educated in France aud married when
her girlish beauty was at its height,
Nine. Calyo came to this country, but
before her bridal wreath had lost its
sweetness, death came and she was
left a widow. Her superior education
gave her n lucrative position at once,
and she worked as only grief can or
distraction. Her own sorrow made
her sensitive to the woes of others, and
for years she has bsen a regular visitor
at the Tombs, where, as she says, al
lave tried to brush away few pebbles
from the path that misfortune so cruel
Iy roughens."
Mistress of five languages, it is her
rabit to go from one cell to anothe +,
talk with the inmate if ignorant of The
English language, write letters to Sc
cure bail, relieve the anxiety of friends,
and, acquainting herself with the facts
in the case, instruct tAc lawyer as to
its details. By way of illustration:
Not long ago poor Italian family ar
rived at Castle Garden wi h all their
worldly possessions tied up in bags,
which they car ed, and which served
IS beds at night. They found quarters
in Mulberry street and work as well,
from the proceeds of which an apology
for home was built. When real
bed was bought the bags of straw were
abandoned and; not knowing what else
to do With it, PhiIomena, girl of
nineteen, tool, hers out in the street.
Almost as soon as it touched the cob
ble-stones an officer appeared, arrested
the terrified girl and dragged her off
to the Tombs, where she was charged
with violating the city ordinance and
thr atened with fine of 500. Nine.
Calyo interested herself in the girl at
once, who, fearing she was about to be
put to de-.th as there was no possible
way of getting the fortune 10 pay the
fine, was OH the verge of insanity.
The lady was at school when the girls
parents appeared, begged to be al
lowed to see her. and on their knees,
with folded hands and ST canning eyes
impiored her to come to tie court and
save their daughter. Leaving her class
Nine. CaIyo went downtown at once,
appeared before Judge Kilbreth, had
the girl discharged and took her home
to her parents.

John Campbell Of Newton, Conn, was
fiayed by four masked men and is suffering
badly from his injuries. Campbell has been
in the habit of beating his wife, an amiable
young woman, and has once been confined in
the county jail for thrashing her. The couple
lived In a neat little cottage on the main turn
pike, ana the neighbors say that Campbell is
often overheard berating his wife. Sunday,
Feb. 10, Campbell struck the woman on the
head with a blunt instrument, making a
dangerous scalp wound, which bled profuse-
~. Mrs. Campbell fled from the house to q
neighbours. Her wounds were dressed and
the bleeding woman was made comfortable.
Late at night four citizens disguised and
masked entered Campbelps house and
dragged him forcibly from his bed to the
street. Campbelps night dress was torn of,
and In perfectly nude condition he was
lashed to telegraph pole. The four masked
men then castigated him with rawhides upon
his bare skin until he became unconscious
The mans back and limbs were covered with
welts and cuts. He was carried back to his
house and placed in bed. His cries aroused
the neighbors, who hurried TO the scene, but
when it was discovered that Campbell was
being logged no interference was offered.

When the lovely Miss Honore gave
her hand to the wealthy and venerable
Potter Palmer it was understood that
she should have the finest residence in
the city of Chicago. The hotel prince
kept his word and not only gave his
beautiful wife carte blanche, but al
lowed her to build the house any way
she pleased, as she was to live in it and
manage it. Soon after the wedding
she began the study of architectural
art, and the books she bought and read
and made selections from aggregated a
library that cost $4,000. The castle
is melancholy pile of brown-stone,
with turrets, donjon tower, minareis,
balconies and courts, overlooking the
mild, blue waves of Lake Michigan.
Native talent was imported to dec
ora and furnish the French drawing
room, the Spanish mushroom, the
English dining parlor, the Moorish
hall and the Turkish, Japanese and
Greek parlors that encircle the gallery
on the seco.d floor. There are two
elevators in the house. The expenses
of the conservatory would keep almost
any one of the tenants on the exclusive
estate, and Mrs. Gen. Grant is author
ity for the statement that there is not
a chamber in the Austrian Court that
can surpass the grandeur and beauty
of Mrs. Palmer's bedroom. This
Western society queen has two young
sons of fourteen, who every Christmas
throw OPP en- their gymnasium and ell
terrain tn e children of the help in the
Palmer House. At the last company
Masters Honore and Potter Palmer,
Jr., were hosts to 700 small boys and
girls.
