OF late! He was from the provinces
and desperately poor. but that was no
reproach In u circle; and, in spite Of
his threadbare clothes, there was that
about him which impressed. He dined
with us for several weeks, of and on.
When he did not. 1t was as we learned
later. because all his money had gone
for the rent Of his little attic room. or
for sculptor's materials.
Do you recall how cold was the win
ter Of '49l There were weeks when
those who worked with the clay needed
well-reddened stoves to keep their
models from freezing and falling to
pieces, yes, and dared not leave them
for an hour ~unwrapped in clothes and
%lannels. One evening l saw him glfd-
ing like q shadow along the narrow
steet toward his lodgings; but he did
not answer my hail. and. as / had an
appointment to keep, l did not follow
him. After that several days passed
bitter cold days-and when he
joined US, ome presentiment Of evil op-
pressed our usually careless thoughts,
until, at last we found ourselves
mounting the rickety stairs in the Rue
de Seine-two flights, three. four, five
and we paused breathless before his
room. Ugh! but it was cold! No an
swer came to repeated knocks. and
the concierge, at our e%ntreaty, took
the trouble to open the door. All!
what o scenel what a scene!
There lay the sculptor and over his
dead face brooded hunger and cold.
His coat and waistcoat we're wrapped
around the clay model, which his rigid
arms half embraced, as though to give
if the last warmth of his congealing
blood-a figure Of Victory, entire but
for the raised hand, from which the
wrappings had fallen away. and which
lay in a thousand fragments upon the
floor.
All Paris talked of the dead man
for a week; and his Victory was
cast, and set up here as you see it. Let
me look at your catalogue. All, yes

Miss BisIand.s Basiness racsic..

All clever women do not possess simi-
lar capacity for business, fact which is
conspicuously illustrated in the cases of
Miss Elizabeth Bisland and Miss Nellie
BLY,, the rival globe trotters. Miss Bly,
won the race around the world by three
DAYS, but she has sunk into obscurity,
and her name, which was on everybody's
lips year ago, is now only tradition.
On the other hand, Miss Bislandl is still
favorite contributor to The Cosmopol-
itan, from which she is drawing so lib
eral salary that she is able to live in
London. And it is in a great measure
because Miss Bisland has business talent
as we'll as literary ability and personal
beauty.
Miss Bisland is Mississippi girl, who
entered journalism in New York three
years ago. She contributed to The Cos
mopoltan regularly. When it was an
nounced that Nellie BLY, was to be sent
around the world to beat the record of
"Phileas Fogg," the managers Of the
magazine sent for Miss Bisland, and she
undertook to start in contrary direction
in race with Nellie Bly, six hours later.
Then she went to pack a small travelling
bag for the journey, but amid all the
hurry of preparation she found time to
go to her lawyers and have an agreement
drawn whereby The Cosmopolitan en-
gagged her services on salary for two
years.
When the charming young woman
reached the Office to receive her final in
structions, she smilingly unfolded the
agreement and it was signed. Under it
she still draws her salary. Miss BLY, had
no such foresight. She had no sooner
returned to New York than she quar-
relied with The World, and her services
were dispensed with by that paper. Miss
Bisland lost the race, but she gained the
greater material advantages from it be-
cause she had talent for business.

Electric Snow sweepers.

The companies manufacturing snow
plows and sweepers are said to be just
now overwhelmed with orders. The
value of these appliances in dealing with
large quantities of snow has been SO
thoroughly demonstrated that improve
ments on even the latest machines are
being brought out almost daily. A new
snow plow for electric street railways
differs in many respects from the old
fashioned cylindrical shaped broom,
revolving beneath the body of truck
and throwing the snow and dirt in all
directions. 1t consists of an ordinary
Car truck equipped with two motors, one
of which propels the car while the
other revolves two sets of shovels. The
snow on the rails is picked up by cir
cular box, from which the revolving
shovels take it up and throw it out
through spout. This snow plow can
be operated equally well by night or by
day, and is said not to interfere with the
regular traffic upon the streets.-New
York Telegram.

New York,s Women Notaries.

There are four women notaries in New
York, and one of them is the private
secretary of Commissioner Beattie
During his illness she superintended the
work of 1,5OO men, and personally in
vestigated the details of its accomplish
ment. She is western woman who
came to New York to join the ranks of
the women custom house inspectors,
and is a distinctive type of the self
made woman who is now asserting her
self SO generally in the worlds work.
By making her home each year in fami-
lies of different nationalities she has
learned to speak with a good accent four
of the most important tongues one hears
in this very cosmopolitan city, and in
addition to her duties as inspectress,
managed to spend three hours day in
special study at one of the city colleges.
She is quite the reverse Of strong mind
ed in appearance, low voiced and bright
in conversation, sings delightfully."- in a
deep, full contralto voice, dances like a
dream, and has the happy faculty OF
making successful social evening out
of the most undesirable and hopeless OF
materials. Her name is Miss Westover.
The woman Ben Franklin is a most in
teresting phenomenon wherever you en-
counter her.-New York Sun.

A Telephone in Every Room.

The telephone is put to new use in
the great hotel at Tampa, which Mill
ionaire Plan has just built to rival those
of Millionaire Flager at st. Augustine.
Instead of an electric press button every
room will have telephone connected
with the Office. Guests will be able to
communicate not only with the Office,
but with their friends in other rooms at
will. The great orchestrion which was
one of the marvels of the Paris exposi-
ton is to be placed in the large music
room of the hotel. 1t has been arranged
that any guest in his room can, by merely
telephoning to the Office, be connected
with the orchestrion and have the music
transmitted to him in full volume. In
fact, he can put in actual practice one
of the most wonderful of Bellamy's con-
ceptions, and every night, if he likes, go
to sleep listening to the finest of har-
monies.-New York Sun.

Old Enemies Clasp Hands.

George L. Ulmer, an actor, who is
playing in the smaller towns of the state.
was soldier in the northern army dur
ing the war of the rebellion. At the
battle Of Lookout Mountain he was left
in command of a heavy field piece. A
party of Confederates made an attack,
and to defend himself at close range vi
mer drew his pistol and shot one of the
Confederates three times, wounding him
severely.
Monday Ulmer came to this city from
Stockton to look after some show print
ing for his company at the printing house
of Francis, Valentine 8 Co. on Sansome
street. While there he stepped into the
engraving department. to examine stock
of wood cuts. Suddenly he heard some
one exclaim:
''My God! There's the man who shot
me-"
Ulmer turned like flash and found
himself face to face with the soldier
whom he had shot at the famous battle
twenty eight years ago. The men glared
at each other, but only for an instant.
Then there was moisture in their eyes,
and George T. Ulmer, actor, and Will
lam w. Garrison, engraver, clasped
hands, Garrison has lived hero for sew
eral years, and is still sufferer from the
pistol wounds received at the hands of
Ulmer. Before leaving the printing house
Ulmer said to Garrison:

you half of my army pension. San

Bad Luck at the Funeral.

The funeral of the late Ephraim Gels
singer, of near Blue Church, Upper
Saucon township, was held with con-
siderable difficulty. At the home of
the deceaseds parents, about two miles
from the church, elaborate preparations
were made all day Tuesday for the din
ner which was to be served at the CON
clusion of the obsequies. A calf was
killed and set aside to await the roasting
process When the hour arrived for this
on Wednesday the matrons having the
affair in charge were greatly surprised to
find that during the night some person
had stolen the calf, together with other
of the funeral meats.
The excitement created by this an
nouncement had scarcely subsided ere
one of the horses attached to the hearse
of Undertaken Thomas Schaffer, of Lime
port, while being driven into the yard
stepped into hole from which post
had been removed and broke his leg
The poor animal had to be shot on the
spot. The hearse was also caught by a
wash line and dismantled of its plumes

That Balloon Expedition.

A correspondent asks, "What time is
the balloon expedition to start for the
north pole?"
There is some doubt now felt as to
whether it will start at all. The men
who intended to &c are Frenchmen, but
the French Aeronautic society, which
has been considering the matter, think
that no good could possibly be accom-
plished, even if the voyagers were able to
pass over the pole and get back alive.
The present programme is that they will
send up pilot balloons next summer from
Spitzbergen, and if these show the direc-
ton and force of winds to be favorable
to the scheme the expedition will start in
the summer Of 1892.-St. Louis Globe

Young. but a Business Woman.

In the Pennsylvania railroad depot the
other morning l noticed moving among
the crowd tall, handsome brunette
somewhere in the twenties. She pur-
chased tickets which would carry her
through several states and territories by
almost as many railway connections,
and had her baggage, four iron bound
trunks, checked to apparently all the
cities in the Union. She was young,
pretty and alone, and she seemed to have
such lot of things to attend to. which
she did in thorough businesslike way
and without any assumption of mascu-
Unity.
AS she tripped through the gateway to
board the train a weather beaten old Of
fcer, who is one of the veterans at tho
depot, shook hands with her and said:
"Good luck and lots of business"

quired.

drummers in this country in her line.
have known her since she started on the
road seven years ago. She was only 1S
then, but looked two years younger. Il
have met travelling agents and drummers
of all sorts, but it is seldom thatyou will
come across woman as young as that
who starts out from New York twice
year, and visits every city in the United
States where there is any chance to sell
goods. Tortoise shell and amber goods
is her line, and she does the biggest busi-
ness for the biggest house in New York,
and is the niece of the head of the firm.
She is just as gentle and good as she
looks, but guess the young man who
would try to mash her on the road
wouldn't want to try the second time. -

Must Marry to Get His Legacy.

Sol Strauss, of this city, has been
placed in an unpleasant predicament.
Not long ago he received notice through
attorneys in Germany that rich uncle
had recently died, leaving him heir to
$4,000. This was not bad news, but the
legacy was conditional upon his marry
ing and settling down within twelve
months time of the date upon which
official notice was given.

the Strauss windfall, and now he is in
daily receipt of scores of letters from
ladies offering to help him out of his
dificulty,-Pueblo Cor. st. Louis Globe
