RUINED BY CIGARETTES.
Heir to Large Fortune. He Wears a
Convict's Garb.

Heir to Large Fortune, He Wears
Convict's Garb.
Louisville, KY, Special.
A youth was placed at work in the house
OF refuge this morning who is nearly re-
lated to several of the best and
wealthiest families in this city.
The Lad is heir to large
fortune. He viii remain at the house of
refuge until he is 81. His name is William
Holman. He was brought to this city last
night from Atlanta, Ca, where he
committed the crime which caused
his incarceration. 1t was a choice
between two years term in
the Atlanta penitentiary and confinement
until he was 81 in the house of refuge in
this city. The story OF the lads crime and
downfall is remarkable He is the son of
an honorable man, who died some years
ago. He was born in this city, and was
raised with the traditional silver spoon in
his mouth. As the hoy grew older he
became a slave to the cigarette habit
He smoked hundreds of the obnoxious
sticks IN day. He spent the hand
some allowance his mother gave him and
demanded more. The pienteous supply of
money fastened his downward trip, His
requests for money become SO extravagant
that his mother refused him. He left his
home In Atlanta with the declaration that
he would have money
That was about three weeks ago. He
entered billiard saloon. where lie had
been frequenter, and stole six or seven
oycrcoats. which he pawned. The theft
and the thief was discovered, and the dis
tracted mother tried in every
way to settle the bad affair
without the case becoming public. Two of
the men from whom the Goa had been
stolen, however, insisted on the boys
arrest. He was locked up in Jail on the
charge of grand larceny He caused
three days sensation in Atlanta, where
Mrs. Holman moved in the first circles
of society. The boy was tried and con-
victed. The Judge sentenced him to two
years tern at hard labor There are no
penitentiaries in Georgia. The convict is
placed on the block and sold as a slave to
work in the mines. This was hard fate
for young Holman, whose hands had never
been hardened by labor. Influences were
used in the boys behalf, and the choice
was between a two-year term at hard labor
I or the detention of the youth in a house of
refuge until he reached manhood. He, of
course. chose the latter. This morning
the young aristocrat donned the regula-
ton suit and was set at work. Willie
Holman is IL years of age. and one of the
largest boys for his years ever seen. He is
over six feet tall and handsome fellow
were it not for the sallow complexion
which the pernicious cigarette had given
him

A Question of Beauty.
Pittsburg Leaders New York Lett


1t is quite amusing to compare the opin-
ions of men and women concerning the
personal appearance of Mrs. Leslie Carter.
Men generally agree in calling her strik-
ingly handsome, both in figure and fea-
ture. Women consider her too tall, and
declare that her mouth is altogether too
large to lay any claim to beauty. This from
some women who were enthusiastic over
Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter. Mrs. Car
ter certainly has large mouth, but she
has beautiful set of teeth, Her hair is
of the golden brown. which is the delight
and despair, of artists. That she is "a
woman Of more intellect than either of
the other actresses, is discernible at n
glance, and when she speaks this i'm
preston is greatly intensified. She doesn t
attempt elaborate street toilets, but dresses
quite simply. She therefore seldom at
tracts more attention among strangers
than any we'll dressed New York society
woman. This some of them can never
forgive. as they consider that actresses
and literary women are to ne stared at and
commented upon.

WHEN RUNSELs BEGIN TO LEAP.

When runnels begin TO leap and sing,
Aud da ffodil sheAths 10 blow.
Then out of the thicket peeped blue-eyed Spring,
And laughed at the melting snow.
alt is time old Winter, yoa went, she said,
And fitted across the plain,
With en- iris scarf around her head.
And diamonded with rain.
When the hawthorn put of her bridal veil,
And the uichtingsle's noctgrn died,
Then summer came forth with her milking
pail,
And hunted the spring, and cried,
at lis time you went: you have had your share,
And she carolled Q loye-sonc sweet,
With eclantine raveiled ahont her hair,
And buitercupduss on her ieet.
When the pears swelled juicy, the apples sweet
Aud matched was the new -rieked hay,
And August was bronzirg the STRIPPING " heat
Then Summer besought 10 stay.
But Autumn came from the red rooted farm,
Aud ATS time that you went, replied,
With an amber sheaf on her nut-brown arm,
And her sickle sthwsrt her side.
When the farmer rallied ct the hireing slut,
And fingered his fatted beeves,
And Autumn CROPPED for the last stray nut
In the DRIFT OF her Uttered leaves,
ssIt is time YOU went from the lifeiess land"
Bawled Winter, then whistled weird,
With log for his hearth IN his ehflbiained
hand,
And sleet In his grizzled beard.

Durnovo. Russian Minister OF the In

Jew OF Bribery.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan fc.-A well known
Jewish banker, Baron Ginzberg, last week
waited on Durnova, minister of the interior,
and asked him 10 try to alleviate or postpone
the carrying out of the edicis for the repression
OF the Jews. During the Interview the
baron handed the minister an envelope
containing q check for 100000 roubles,
payable TO the order of Durnoyo, and endorsed
by the Men6eIssohns of Berlin. Durnovo sub
sequently gave the car the check. The car
gave orders for the arrest OF Baron Ginzburg.
The baron declared the check not given as q
bride, but as an ordinary banking transaction.
Upon investigation the books proved the
order was received in the usual manner from
Berlin. The ear ordered the prisoner released
and the check returned, but Ginzburg refused
TO take il. The car thereupoh ordered half OF
the money given to the Red Gross Society and
the other half used for the relief OF the poor.
