A Point Neatly Turned.

There are a great many things in the
lives Of stage people which if written
out would prove intensely interesting,
says an exchange. The writer, in con-
versation with the treasurer of Bar
NUNS great moral show last week, was
told of peculiar thing that happened
last summer in New York city. can

Gotham and her friends called an I'M
dertaker to make arrangements for the
funeral. The undertaken wanted to
know how they wanted the coffin
trimmed, whereupon the friends of the
dead woman said they would accept his
suggestions. WELL said the under
taker, if the deceased was single
woman, I should trim the coffin in
white; if married woman, in hello
trope.' The friends said they would
think the matter over and send him
word as to their decision. In the after
noon the undertaken received this note:
Trim the coffin in white, with dash

AVENGED HER HONOR
A Faithless Lover Shot By a
Wronged Girl.
VOWED SHE WOULD KILL HIM.
Tragic Fate of Walter Foster at the
Hands of Carrie Bowers

waylaid In Front Of Els HOme-His Re-
fusal to Marry Her Led the Young wO-
man to Commit the Crime-she Had
Brought Suit Against Him, but the Case
Was Dismissed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Carrie Bowers, a
pretty blonde of 10, living with her pa
rents in Greenpoint, shot and mortally
wounded Walter Foster, aged 20, last
night. The shooting was the result OF
the young mans refusing to right the
wrong he had committed.
The young couple became acquainted
about six months ago. A month ago
she secured a warrant for his arrest,
claiming he had refused to marry her.
The case was dismissed, owing to the
preponderance of evidence produced by
the defendant.
The two met on leaving the court,
when the girl told the young man she
would yet vindicate her honor.~
A week ago she met him on the street
and pleaded for him to marry her He
refused. Since then she has been grow
ing respondent.
About 5 o'clock last evening she left
her home She knew Foster, who was
employed as a clerk in Some & Fleming 6
oil refinery, returned home at about q
o'clock.
She proceeded as far as Colyer street,
where she waited for him. Foster finally
came along He had reached within q
few doors of his home when a young
woman came walking rapidly toward
him. Her features were hidden behind
a shawl drawn about her head.
As she neared him she threw aside her
shawl and disclosed the features of Carrie
| Bowers. She drew q revolver from be-
meath the folds of the shawl, pointed 1t
at Fosters heart and pulled the trigger.
The first shot grazed the young man
shoulder. A second one struck him In
the right breast, just above the nipple.
He wheeled about and started ON a run
toward Lorimer street. The girl fired a
| third shot at him, but failed.
The young man continued through
Lorimer street to Meserole avenue, then
to Manhattan avenue. Here he met Pc
liceman Clark of the Seventh precinct
to whom he gasped that he had beer
| shot by a woman.
The officer at once summoned Ambu
lance Surgeon Clifford. The wounded
man was removed to the Eastern Dis
trict Hospital. DIR. Blaisdell, the house
physician, gave it as his opinion that the
lung had been penetrated and the young
man could not possibly live.
Foster gave clear statement of the
shooting and fully identified the young
woman as his assailant.
Directly after the shooting the CIR
walked hurriedly away from the seem
toward Franklin street thence to Green
point avenue. The police arrested tn
father of the girl and sent out a genera
alarm for her.
Later she was captured and taken t.
the station house.
She was very calm and admitted tn
shooting. She was locked up anC
then broke down, weeping bitterly. Sh
stated positively that Foster alone wa
responsible for her condition.
At late hour last night Foster mad
an ante -mortem statement, and after
ward sank into a comatose condition.

CIRCASSIAN WHiTECAPS.

Curious Tribunals of the Mountains of the
Eastern Caucasus.
The Lhesghian mountaineers of the
Eastern Caucasus have established
tribunals of secret justice closely re-
sembling the Vehmic courts of the
middle ages. In the strongholds of the
Russian usurpers crimes of all sorts
can be condoned by a payment in cash,
or by the promise of such services as
espionage and political pander-worlz;
but licentiates of that sort are apt to
be pulled from their hiding places at
midnight and dragged to cover, where
masked men reconsider the verdict of
the Muscovite court and execute the
amended sentence in an off-hand but
highly effective manner. 1t is curious
that the monstrously -misgoverned ma
tives of Asia Minor never resort to self
help of that kind, but content them
selves with Silent imprecations, devot-
ing their oppressors to the dollhouse of
Ell Sheitan. The overworlzed fellahs
and overtaxed Hindoos are equally
passive, and the logic Of the difference
seems to be the fact that lynch law pre-
walls only where manful nations, in
stress of circumstances, have to re-
nounce the hope of obtaining justice at
the bar of the established tribunals.

THE DELAWARE "FLAT IRON"

A Piece os Land Not Accounted for ON
the Map.
No ordinary map shows the correct
boundary Of Delaware. Leaving aside
the long disputed question as to
whether the so-called "Flat Iron" at
the northwest corner of the state be-
longs to Pennsylvania or Delaware, the
maps still fail to define correctly the
western boundary between New Castle
county, Del, and Cecil county, Md.
There is on this boundary line, says the
New York Sun, tiny wart-llke pro-
tuburance that is never marked on the
maps. 1t originated in this fashion,:
When Mason and Dixon were employed
to define the boundaries between the
possessions of the Penns and those of
the Calverts, it was stipulated that a
north and south line should be erected
at a point midway between the
Chesapeake bay on one side and Della
ware bay on the other. 1t was further
stipulated that this line should be
drawn as nearly as possible tangent
to a circle whose center should be the
courthouse in New Castle and whose
radius should be twelve miles. Further
more, it was stipulated that should the
north and south line cut off the circle,
the portion cut off should belong to
New Castle county. A portion of the
circle was cut off, and it does belong to
New Castle county, as the stout granite
boundary stones still show, but the
fact is known to almost no one and the
maps are dumb upon the subject. The
little wart contains only two or three
acres, and it has long puzzled the resi-
dents OF the region to know why the
boundary stones took that queer kink,

JOLLY ENGLISH COMPANY.
Franks Played by Some Mischief-Lovins
Guests.

Franks Played by Some notwithstanding
Guests.
One young man, at a recent house
party in England according to the H.
Illustrated Americans correspondent,
was heard relating, with great gusto,
his experiences sat one of the jolliest
houses in the country" 1t appears that
two or three genial souls invaded the
dressing-rooms of the other guests
both male and female-and distracted
from each some articles of wearing ap-
parel. The great hall below was
adorned with many statues and figures
in armor. These, by the light of the
moon, were invested by the marauders
with the stolen clothing, and great was
the confusion next morning when boots,
hats and even more necessary garments
were missing; greater still the amaze
ment and amusement when the guests
descended to breakfast, and found
Apollo clothed simply and naively in a
pair of bedroom slippers and a scarlet
coat, Venus in a bathrobe and parasol,
and a mail-clad knight in long open
work silk stockings and a waistcoat.
Last year the favorite advertisement
was sliding downstairs on tea-trays-a
sort of indoor tobogganing-but this
season staid girl explained to her
mamma that the cause of her sudden re-
turn home from an unfinished visit was
the practice she found prevailing OF
putting one young wOman-in full din
ner dress-in her portable bath-tub and
carrying her about to solicit coppers
from the guests as payment for the
pleasure they had derived from the
music hall choruses and dances per-
formed by the choicer spirits of the

invades the circles of royalty. AS an
instance of this we may state that the
Baroness Bloomfield in her "Reminis-
cences'' relates how on one occasion
the queen desired her to sing, and she,
sin fear and trembling, sang one of
Crisis famous airs, but omitted shake
at the end. The queens quick ear i'm
mediately detected the omission, and,
smiling, her majesty said: Does not
your sister shake, Lady Normandy? to
which Lady Normandy promptly re-
piled: oh, yes, ma'am, she is shaking
all overP"

'Arlington!"
'Aye. Mrs. Evesham found her,

you?''
Mr.. Dolman's wooden countenance
almost screwed itself into an expression
as he replied with a chuckle:

man continued. 81 disremember what

Wanda! Sakes alive, what a 'stroarary

than the Bible to name their children.

Mr.. Dolman turned his fshy eyes OF
the speaker and asked:

Never you mind,'' was the sulle1

round the bend of the road.

JAMES p. PIGoTTs LETTER.

James P. Pigott of New Haven has
addressed letter to the democratic
state committee upon the question of
representation in party convention. Mr.
Pigott has devoted much time to the
study of this subject and his PROPOSE
ton should be carefully considered, for
it contains many excellent features.
According to the plan, which is pat
termed after. that of Massachusetts,,
there would lie S42 delegates in the
democratic state convention. OF these,
New Haven county would have 21S,
Hartford ISL, Fairfield 149, Litchfield
SO, New London So, Windham 81, Mid
dlesex 55 and Tolland 4S. New Haven
would be entitled to eighty-fve repre-
sentatives and Waterbury twenty seven,
being one delegate for each one hun
dred votes cast at the preceding general
election. Towns whose pre- sent repre-
sentation >, might be decreased, will not
be disturbed. Three schemes calculated
to bring about this long needed reform
are now waiting to be discussed Mr.
Piggott's, Mr. Walkers and Senator
Seymour's. If it be in order, we would
suggest an extra state convention for the
sole purpose of acting upon the matter.
We think that this would be safer
plan than to have the state central
committee determine what the system
of representation shall be, as it has the
power to do. From the three schemes
proposed and suggestions that. may be
made by other party leaders composite
whole may be made embodying the best
sentiments of each.

THERE is general agreement of opin-

sayings of prominent Irishmen and
their sympathizers, that the death of
Parnell will heal the disSensions in the
ranks of the Irish party and that in due
