THE Ideal Wife" Described.

Whether with a view to give precision
to 1.-The young mans fancy" at this pair
ing season. or merely to keep the gentler
sex Informed regarding the demand in
the matrimonial market, our contempo-
rary, The Young Man. has been melting
Its readers to define .the ideal wife. !"
The replies appear 10 agree that this per-
feet person must striss to exist solely for
her husbands plaasuas, profit and con
venlence. One terseI. if trlfe I'M

a healthy compact between the piano
and the wringing machine, SO that the
dignity OF labor is not superseded by the
dignity of art, but each contribute to the
domestic felicity" Another, who may
have been dipping into Schopenhauer's
abominable chapter on Women" put
his views into the epigrammatic form:
One whose life says my husband and

nal Wolsey's Ego ct meus Rex" would
have been more appropriate still.
Culllng further samples from the epis-
tolary anthology. we find that in the
view of various correspondents the ideal
wife has skill enough to cook IA good
dinner without being wasteful. taste
enough to dress well without being ex-
travagant. tact enough to know when
and how to speak" and that. moreover.
she must be lone whose love prompts
her to do what she can to make a home

A Woman Stops a Runaway.

Mrs. Rollin NJ Squire, who is one Of
the noted horsewomen of New York,
was out riding in Central park one day
recently, when a runaway saddle horse
dashed by her. The rider, white faced,
had dropped his reins and was clinging
to his pommel for dear life, while the
animal was bolting along at his topmost
speed. Mrs. Squires saddle horse,
Harler, is one of the best trained ami
mails in the world, and as intelligent as
human being. He wheeled about. even
before his mistress could lightly pull the
rein, and as she gave the word followed
after the runaway. Harker is a Ken
tucky thoroughbred with tremendous
speed and soon overhauled the boiling
horse
Mrs. Squire quietly seized the fallen
reins, and as the two horses ran along
together brought them gradually to a
standstill, Harker doing his part as if he
had been in the business of stopping run
aways all his life. The scared horseman
was all confusion and thanks. of course.
but the mounted policeman. who came
slowly up, was. both philosophical and
complimentary. as he touched his hat
and said. Begging your pardon. Mrs.

PANAMA. Oct. 26.-Ths city has had a
startling and appalling experience of the
potent power OF electric wires to STAY, frat
horse and then a man having been stricken
with instant death, and the latter partially
inctnerated by contact with the wire. On
the afternoon Of Saturday last some street
Arabs at play detached a naked telephone
wire aud caused it 20 hang from
its support to the ground, trailing over the
street light circuit wires of the electric
light company. The evening closed dark
and stormy, and by some fatal mischanoe
the obstruction was not removed. About
o'clock a police lieutenant discovered the
wire hanging in the street and commenced
to haul it and coil IL about an old gas light
post.
THE POLICEMAN SHOCKED.
The act Of drawing the fine wire over the
rubbar insuiator Of the electric light wire
caused 10 to cut into and through the latter.
violently into the air and fall backward un-
conscious. Fortunately be had not received
the full force Of the current and soon re-
covered. OF course great crowd was
instantly on the scene, and with awe
stricken curiosity watched Developments.
A policeman was detailed 70 keep the crowd
and passers-by at q safe distance, while the
lieutenant proceeded with oil haste to notify
the electric light people. Meanwhile a cab
came driving rapidly along Policemen
shouted vigorously "Alto altol" and the
crowd took up the warning CRY in chorus.
but all to no purpose
MAN AND HORSE KILLED.
As IL drawn by fate the vehicle rusned on
and right over the deadly wires Instantly
the horse reeled and plunged headlong to
the ground, its flesh sizzling The cab was
not overturned and the driver spranR out
and rushed to the animals aid, evidently
having no idea OF what was wrong. Re-
sro% u.'' the ' crowded sHs d"Arnins street y'ls
grasped the trailing ''string" that had
upset his horse. AT that instant the wire
swung across his forehead, ate right
through his skull almost to the ears and
there remained although the unfortunate
victim fell forward over the horse. A
frightful scene, never 30 be forgotten by She
spectators. was witnessed. The electric fluid
literally flled the mans heal, and in a mo-
ment his brain and eyes had been
completely incinerated. Then the flesh
and skin smoked and sizzled until they also
we're reduced almost to ashes. All this
while sparks played about the head in an
awful shower. the eyes literally glowing

was several minutes before the electric

partially burned to ashes, the head being
completely. The sight was one Of the most
repulsive phases Of death that the most NOR

to land the marines in case of n revolution,
to protect the missionaries who are no
longer American citizens, but Hawaiian
citizens The queen Is under the absolute
control of British Consul General Wood

makes her very unpopular with the natives
and with the American residents.
The people are looking for new ruler, q
president for the Hawaiian republic. The
newspapers are full of republican ideas, aud
all have opened their eyes since The British
Irtrigues aud arrogance began. The gov
