Little Maryan Mnrcena Is the dauch-
ter of a tinsmith who lives ut Snucolito.
Cal She has seven brothers and Sis
tiers, has this strange little girl Four
brothers and thrco sisters; so she is
never lonely. Tho older children go to
school, but there Is always n baby 10
keep her company. Sho never goes to
school herself, though sho is nearly
eight years old.
There are good many reasons, says
the Chicago Herald. why sho stays at
home from school. She could not hold
her books very well if she went, and she
hates to think that she cannot do ovcry-
thing quite as we'll as everybody else.
For the poor little thing has no arms.
She has never had any.
The thing that Maryan most delights
IN doing is to help her little brothers
and sisters get ready for school. She Is
very quick and full of life, and she hur-
ries around at a great rate. She makes
makes them hurry, too. She washes
their faces and combs their hair, and II
they don't stand still she knows exactly
how 10 give them lively little box on
the ear.
How docs she do it9 Why. with her
feet, of course. She laughs when pco-
pie are astonished at that
Maryan does not believe that hands
are one bit more useful or convenient
than feet Anyone who notices her for
awhile is usually Il convert to her way
Of thinking, too.
She just takes hold of u towel be-

a ROARING MONSTER.
Tho Greatest Well In the World at Huron,
In South DRkotn.

In South Dakota.
The artcsian we'll on the Valley stock
farm continues TO attract great crowds
OF people, says the Huronite Is d..
And well it may, for it is really the
wonder of the age. Following the tests
made of the pressure on Saturday and
Sunday the cap was removed, and
through nozzle n two and u half inch
stream of water was shot up into tho
air distance of one hundred and TWEEN
ty-hve to one hundred and forty feet.
The direct course of the stream was
greatly interfered with by the cross
beams and braces of the dcrricls; with
q clear. way and no wind two and u
half inch stream would be sent ono
hundred and sixty feet into tho uir. So
great Is the pressure that pine boards
six inches wide and one inch thick,
used as stays and braces on the derrick
fifty feet above the mouth of the we'll.
were broken by the force Of the water.
While this nozzle was on, the derrick,
which Is scventy-five feet high, was al
most hidden from view by the spray
and lettings of the stream, presenting
sight as beautiful as it wns wonder
full
Later in tho evening MIR. Weston,
manager of tho we'll and who hns had
charge of the drilling, removed the two
and half inch nozzle and placed upon
the pipe four inch one. Immediately
stream four inches in diameter shot
up nearly seventy feet, dcluging every.
thing in its descent. This was ac-
companicd by deep roaring sound,
and frequent sharp reports resembling
the discharge of rife were heard.
This stream, as well us tho smaller ono,
struck tho walking beam and broke
much of it's force.
The amount OF water that flows from
the we'll is tremendous, being estimated
at from eight thousand to ten thousand
gallons per minute. Even ut tho lower
figure enough pours eut of the we'll to
furnish every man, woman and child In
the state OF South Dakota with ut least
four gallons Of water every twcnty-four
hours
AS to the pressure, that has not yet
been fully ascertaincd but from tests
already made it is known TO be con-
sidcrably moro than two hundred
pounds TO the square inch With a fair
test is likely to reach two hundred
and twenty eight pounds. The pressure
has Sttuilly lncrc;lScO Tor the last three
days and may exceed tho above figures.
Tho well is now nine hundred and
sixty feet deep, and as soon as my
chincry now ordered arrives the work
OF roaming the hole to eight inches in
diameter, making it an cight-inch well
from top to bottom, will be prosecuted
The water is soft, clear and pleasant
to taste 1t is flooding the low places
in the vicinity. and, although great
bitches have been dug to carry 1t into
the Jim river, acres of water may DO
seen in every direction
Without doubt this is tho grentnst
nrtesiau well in the world.

England Win Need It.

The German colliery-owner thinks that the day is coming when the old proverb about carrying coals to New castle will have become obsolete and Germany will actually send coal to English markets. This prophecy is based partly on the working out of England's best seams, but more par ticularly upon the enormous improve ment in transport through the great network of waterways in Germany which will be finished about ten or fifteen years hence. The Rhine Ems canal, which will be opened in about four or five years. is to connect the Rhenish Westphalian coal and iron in dustry with the German North Sea ports, from whence it is to be exported and placed on the English markets at cheaper rates than the home produc- ton. The Oder-Spree canal already in existence is to be widened so as to enable larger barges, such as will be used on the Rhine-Ems canal. to be employed. and along this waterway the Silesian coal will be brought to Berlin and again through the Spree and Havel to the whole Elbe district and the North Sea.

Positive Polly,

Polly Peppers says, in the American Home, that early rising wears out wo- men too fast: "I notice that our thrifty great-aunts and grandmothers had habit of dying early and giving their husbands an opportunity of lead ing two or three blushing brides to the altar. Now, l don't purpose to leave any chance for my husband to get any such double or triple bliss as that 1 don't intend to have any other woman walking around in my shoes, appro- priating my kisses and doing other disagreeable things which I should object to. mean to take care of my self so as to last as long as my better half. No woman has any business. ordinarily, to get up and go to work at or o'clock in the morning. If there is anything in the world that a woman needs it is plenty of rest. If she feels tired and languid in the morning and hates to get up it is . sure sign that she is overdoing and wearing out Six o'clock is as early as any one ought to get up and go to work"

An Obsolete Army Custom.

A curious incident marked the ca- reer of the late Sir Leicester Smyth. At the time of the last European war in which England was engaged, the custom--now become obsolete--was observed of granting to the bearer of aespatches announcing a victory n ,an of s5o0 and promotion in rank. Rse then Major Smyth brought home the official notification of the fall of Sebastopol, and received the custom ary reward and the brevet rsnk ot lieutenant colonel.

BLESSED BY POPE LEO.

He Sends His Apostolical Benediction to the
Worlds Fair Managers.
CHICAGO, March 27.-His Holiness, Pope
Leo Kill, is out with an apostolical bene-
dlction upon the Worlds Fair and the plan
to erect beautiful stone monument in honor
of Christopher Columbus, at Buenos Ayres
BE says:
1t is proper, as well as useful, to render hon.
age to men who have merited so well of Chris
tiau faith and human society. Columbus in
accomplishing by his genius and perseverance
such great deeds, has been the fountain in both
hemispheres of so great influence upon man
kind that few men can be compared with him.
Hoping that the honors bestowed upon him
will benefit the Worlds Fair at Chicago, we
give to your project the praise that it merits,
and at the same time, as a token of fraternal
love, We give the apostolical benediction.
Pope LEO LII.
The Art Directorship of the Worlds Fair.
it is said, has been rendered to Prof. Halsey
c. Ives, Director of the St. Louis School of
Fine Arts. The professor is well and widely
known in art circles both in this country and
Europe.

THE PRACTICE OF TRUSTING

Good Restaurants Over There.
SMALL INCREASE ON THE WEEK.
Only Si1ty-Five Cases We're Heard by the
Court Yesterday.
kAI FINISH PITTSBURG on MONDAY

Although there were great expectations
that work in License Court would be
pushed more rapidly this week than last,
the showing on the total is only an increase
of seven. Last week 800 applicants were
heard, and this week 967 applicants passed
before the bar, making total of 727 cases.
1t started out well on Monday, and all pre-
viouS records for days work were broken,
the judges hearing 70 cases. On Tuesday il
dropped to rs and on Wednesday and
Thursday "a cases were heard, though on
Thursday work continued until $50. Yes
terday was the poorest day of the week, only
65 applicants having been examined.
The work has gone into the Twenty-ninth
ward, seven cases having been heard in that
ward yesterday. Beginning with the eighth
case on Monday work will be pushed with
all possible speed. The Thirty-sixth ward
will be reached Monday, though it may not
be finished before Tuesday morning. Allie
gheny will be taken up Tuesday as soon as
the Pittsburg wards are finished.
Judge White had lots of fun with the
Southside people yesterday, as he had two
little matters to pull them up on. One was
the trusting business, and nearly every
saloon keeper on that side of the river had
to acknowledge that he keeps slate, or did
until very recently. The bills, according
, 10 the statements of the saloonists, run from
81 "every pay" or every two weeks, up to
81 OF S5. Judge White is very severe on
this sort OF vi0laters, and his little lecture
was kept going nearly all day.
Another matter is the slimness of their
restaurants. The majority of the places
furnish meals "when called fol" but Judge
White saws that's not a restaurant, and in
Inmates that to be a restaurant people must
eat if you are compelled to stand at the
door and pull them in.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW ORLEANS, March 23.-The night of
October 10, 1890, will ever be memorable
one in the criminal annals of New Orleans.
1t was Wednesday night, gloomy, driz-
zling and sloppy. The Board of Police
Commissioners were holding their weekly
session, and, as was customary, Chief Hen
messy and myself were present. A few
minutes before the Board adjourned the
Chief came to where was sitting, and, lean
ing over me, whispered that he was going to
the Office, and if anything of Importance
transpired to let him know. Then he went
out, and I never spoke to him again.
When the Board adjourned walked down
st. Charles street with Commissioner Bean
ham, and we stepped into Leon Lamothe's
restaurant for oysters. From there we
walked to the corner of Canal and Baronne,
where we separated.

I went home, out Canal, turning up
Robertson to Common, as I lived on Com
mon, near Claiborne. 1t was then nearly
11:3O. 1 had put out the light and was
sitting on the edge of the bed, when heard
two loud explosions, and sprang off the bed
to the front door. Just at that moment the

Grotesque-yes. that is the word for the
gathering.
An ogre cannot always enjoy the regal
society of q King; nor can it be said that
the features of Hodge are usually to be seen
glancing, with grinning condescension,
upon a grave Prime Minister. There were
other anomalies, too numerous to mention,
in the room; for this was one of the work
shops of the curious Kingdom OF Make
Believe, of which, at the present time, if we
may except the aforesaid company, John
Farley was the solitary occupant.
John Farley, nicknamed "Daubs," was
scene-painter of the Comedy Theater,
Porchester, and this was the room whence
proceeded those marvellous designs that
stirred the gallery to enthusiastic applause,
the boxes TO derisive laughter.
II was the season of pantomime. The cur
tain had been rung down upon the grand
phantasmagorical, allegorical and whimsi-
eorical" legend of "King Pippin," and the
denizens of that monarch's 8 court-or, rather,
their faces-were resting peacefully from
their labors on the wall. John Farley, too,
was presumably resting from his labors, for
he was sitting upon a wooden stool, smoking

his head Then he stared; then he rubbed
his eyes; then he stared again. Well ne
might. Was this an offspring Of the I'M
mortal whom he had just been apostro-
phizing?
1t was decidedly an imp-at least it had
the apparel of one. 1t was clothed In
scarlet; dependent from its launches was
o tail; on its head satanic cowl. But
there was melancholy rather than mischief
in its eye, and it was of a restful, coniding
brown rather than an unrestful, flashing
black.
John again inserted his knuckles in his
eyes, and waved of the smoke from his
pipe. And then he recognized his uncanny
visitor. 1t was the little son of the widow
who lived under his flat. He was one of the
imps of King Pippin's kingdom in the pam
tomime, and doomed for small pittance to
indulge his apish tricks nightly with the
gnomes and fairies Of that isnciful realm.
"Daubsp' said the imp.
Yes, only that was necessary to incite
Johns wrath. A nickname that was sup
portable from the actors and scene shifters
was insupportable from a child.
"Daubs" therefore turned sharply upon
the boy

A FAMILY POISONING PLOT.

1t Results in the Death of Housekeeper,
Who Ruined the Home.
OMAHA, March 27.-What is suspected
to be an attempted poisoning of the family
of j. S. Hascall, prominent politician, was
brought to light to-day. Last Tuesday,
while Hascall was away from home, five
members of his household were taken sud-
denly ill after dinner, and next morning
Emma Anderson, his housekeeper, died.
The others are recovering.
The family kept the matter quiet until
to-day, but the probabilities now are that
the housekeeper's body, which was buried
at St. Edwards, Neb., will be exhumed and
an inquest be held. Hascall is divorced
from his wife, and it is alleged that the An
derson woman was the cause of the separa-
tion. 1t is claimed that threats had been
made that she would not die natural
