..Prime English Beer, for Export.

It seems almost incredible that people
for little gain will palm off On their fel-
low beings articles Of food that are abso-
1utely Infamous in their vileness. Two
cases recently came before a London JUS
tice that ought to have ended in severe
punishment of the culprits. But they
didn't The charge against both defend
ants was that of working horses in an IN
tit condition. A brief and carefully color
less report of a London paper says that in
the first case the animal was in such a
pitiful state that while the police inspector
was watching it it fell down on the road
and died. The other was going on three
legs and had a horrible wound on the
fourth. The animals were being cruelty
fogged to drive them along, and it trans
pired that one had come from Chester-le
Street and the other from Sunderland-s
distance of twelve miles
The police alleged-and it was not de-
nied-that the object of bringing the ami
mails this distance was that they might be
skinned, packed in tubs and exported as
beef to Antwerp. A large trade of this
kind has lately sprung up and as much as
twenty tons of the Gateshead 'beef" was
stated to have been shipped to Antwerp
during the week preceding this prosecution.
The individual who carries on this trade
insists on seeing the animals alive before
he buys them. Hence the cruelty. In
stead of trying to stop this abominable
traffic, the judge simply fined the offenders
ten shillings each.

this suit is regarded as sort Of ties

the theatrical world.
DR.. EggleSton of late has become
rather picturesque character. Hi
home for the past twelve years has beer
a stout little castle Of rough stone
built on the southern shore of Lake
George. A more beautiful or a more
lonely spot could scarcely be imagined
Back of the castle-w II named "Owl's
Nest"-a grove of pin trees crowns the
promontory, which slopes abruptly down
to the waters of the lake. There is no
attempt at landscape gardening in the
grounds around the house. Roses, tall
lilies and geraniums are allowed to grow
in democratic association with wild
daisies and buttercups.
A few steps from the house is the doc
tors library and his youn' st daughters
studio, built of the sam native stone
and finished inside with hard wood and
thing. Here he spends most Of his time,
and here all his recent books have been
written. One side of the room is taken
up with an enormous fireplace with a
brick chimney reaching to the roof.
There is a projection large enough to
support an old fashioned clock, and be-
side it hangs the sole decoration of the
apartment-a carved mahogany panel of
a piping faun-the work of the artist
daughter, allegro.
The other three walls are lined with
books. There are some rare hangings, q
few chairs, slender table or two, and the
battered old Colonial desk stuffed with
papers and manuscripts, from which all
of DR.. Eggleston's stories have gone
forth. He has never had any other desk,
and only one chair has ever stood in front
of it. This chair, veTitable curiosity, was
made by the slaves Of John Randolph,
and is an enormous construction Of
straw, bound with willow withes. The
doctor regards it with an affection that
bids fair to outlast the chair itself, al
though his daughters say it does not
shed much more loose straw now than it
did years ago, when David Swing ad-
vised Mrs. Eggleston to domesticate a
young calf for the special purpose of
keeping the carpet clean around the doc
tors desk.
A little distance from the castle lives
the novelist's eldest daughter, Mrs. FL
win Seely, sweet faced woman who
has found time to raise FIVE children and
to write number Of Juvenile books.
George Cary Eggleston has recently built
a summer home on the grounds, and
number Of the doctors old Brooklyn
parishioners have cottages in the vicinity.
That pastoral work of fifteen years ago
was entirely nonsectarian, and in many
respects bore close resem blance to the
Robert Elsmere movement in Mrs.
Wards novel Its methods have been
largely adopted in more than one Brook
Ign parish since, and DR.. Eggleston may
not be far wrong when he declares that
to have been the best work of his life.

UridentIy a uonnrmed Criminal.

Is there any means by which a profes-
sional criminal can be reformed and his
| feet once again set on the path Of honest
endeavor? Thief takers Of all sorts say
not. They declare that the culprit grows
more hardened and desperate with the
lapse Of years. and they may, n they choose,
cite the case of Timothy Sheedy. alias
Shields, to prove their accusations. The
man is well known 70 the police Of Troy,
where, within ten days, he committed four
burglaries. He was arrested recently at
Broadway and Fourteenth street, New
York, by Detective Sergeants Mccarthy
and McCafTery, of Inspector Byrnes' staff.
Sheedy has just been released from Gin
ton prison, where he served a term Of ten
years. On his person was found n check
for a satcheI at the Morton House The
satchel was procured, and in it was found
silverware belonging 70 the Mansion House,
Troy, gold watches, several rings, a bag OF
money, principally in five and ten cent
pieces, revolvers and several other articles,
the proceeds of various burglaries. The
bag of small coins is q portion OF the money
stolen from the Office OF a Utica street car
road.
Sheedy was arraigned at the Tombs
court and turned over 70 the custody of
Chief Detective Markham aud Superinten-
dent of Police Willard, Of Troy, who came
on with the proper papers. While their
complaint was being prepared Sheedy took
desperate chance 70 escape. Standing
within the rallied Enclosure, each entrance
to which is guarded by policeman, Sheedy,
apparently unnoticed, yaulted over the
railing and was making his way 70 the
door leading from the courtroom 20 the

The actions of actresses, their loves, their
trials, their triumphs and their escapades,
make matter of perennial interest to the
public. And Of late they have done un-
usually well in supplying material for cur
rent romance. One has married, or is about
to marry, lord, another has run away,
just little, and returned, and third-no,
this is an actor, who has wooed and won a
latter day Jessica.
Mr.. G. G. Bennett, who takes a role in

Cook, of San Francisco, the other evening
In company with Miss Gussie Heller, and
frankly announced that he must marry
her right away for two reasons-he must
reach the theater Ia time to assume his
part in the play. and furthermore Gussie's
mother would do something desperate if he
waited till next day. As Gussie was APP
parently of full age the justice solemnly
united them, and then the bridegroom eX-
hibited his ignorance.

tice
Promptly Mr.. Bennett stepped forward
and implanted a chaste salute on the ju-
dicial lips.

Mr.. Bennett objected, but "Now, don't
be a goosey, dear" said the new Mrs. Ben
nett, and then she bestowed a deliciouslv
delicate salute on the lips of the official.

TdlCu anu ulSpOS-
ed of it. When Brock was brought to
trial a jury acquitted him, and on regain
ing freedom he began hunt for Woosley.
1t lasted until the other day and cost him
many thousands of dollars.
A few weeks ago Captain G. 3. Wells,
of Macon, Ga, took up the case. He had
heard that there was Frank Woosley liv-
ing at Benton, Ark, and when he reached
that place be was convinced that his find
was the right one. Brock was sent for
and came at once On pointing out Woos-
ley he cried: my Godl Yes, that is Frank.
Arrest him quick" Sheriff NJ II. Patter-
son was summoned and Woosley was
placed in his charge. Woosley admitted
his identity, but declared that he had
never entered into any conspiracy to rob
Brock, as the latter always insisted. He
declared that he had lost his mind before
leaving the ranch, and for twelve months
was insane. When he reached Benton he
opened a crockery store, and has liv
there ever since. He admitted a thorou
knowledge of the search that was BEN
made for him. He was taken to Sou
Charleston in custody and there met b
mother and other relatives.
According to a Cincinnati paper, Brock
alleges that the whole affair was a con-
spiracy to defraud him of his property, in
which Woosley ana his half brothers were
parties. 1t is now his intention to institute
a suit against Mrs. Woosley for false i'm
prisonment and one against her and her
son to recover $4,000 that he has spent in
the hunt. All Of the parties are at South
Charleston, Woosley spending the time
with his brothers and sisters who mourned
him as dead, and Brock renewing old ac-
quaintances."
