Is a pugilist an artist or simply a
laborer? This is the latest conundrum
formally submitted to the immigration
department. AS artists the contract
labor law cannot touch them, but if
they are laborers, then the enterprising
Snowman who brought those dis
tinguished representatives of the P. r.
Messrs Slavin and Mitchell, to this
country, under a contract to appear in
pugilistic contests, is liable to heavy
fine for importing foreign talent to COM
pete with our native pugilistic industry.
1t looks queer, but so do good many
other provisions of the law relating to
contract labor from abroad. If the ale
cation is sustained, Uncle Sam may be
said to have knocked out all the foreign
pugilists.

pantry, which also is manifestly desira-
BILE. On the second floor, II we suppose
the front room to be the guest-chamber.
it Is well that 1t should be isolated, as
here shown; while, if the middle room
is occupied by the parents and the rear
room by young children, the door be-
tween them viii be useful, and in some
cases indispensable. The bathroom, OF
course, is accessible from the common
passage-way.
A house could be built on this plan in
many parts of the country for 1900 or
1900, perhaps even as low as s., 500.
But this would imply that no sheathing
boards or paper was used in the walls,
which would consist only Of studding,
siding, lath and plaster, and would In
c1ude no furnace, plumbing or gas fix
lures, and only plain ordinary cellar.
If erected In the suburbs Of New York,
with sheathing boards and paper, a
slate roof, cemented cellar, bathroom
and water closet, stationary tubs, gas
fixtures and all necessary plumbing,
the cost would almost certainly exceed
$4,000 and might easily reach $4,000 or
$4,000, depending largely on the style
and quality of the interior finish

A REIGN OF TERROR
Startling Facts About the Rev.
olution in Chill.
BALMAcEDA CALLED A TYRANT
Horrible Punishment Inflicted on Me1
Who Sympathize With the Rebels.

Tacks and Pins Driven Into a Mans Fin.

Hands to n JslIy-No Two Persons Can
Stand and Converse on the Streets
Laborers Forced toINear Tags.
NEW YORK, June 23.-Many startling
facts In connection with the revolution
now raging in Chilli, which throw light
upon the ferocity and despotism Of Bal
maceda, are now given to the public for
the first time.
The three gentlemen-two of whom arc
prominent Chilians-from whom these
facts are obtained have just arrived in
New York. They have witnessed the
revolution from its inception, and speak
from actual knowledge.
Balmaceda Termed '"The Tyrant."
The combined stories of the three men
show that Balmaceda is we'll termed
''The Tyrant." In Santiago, where his
headquarters are, no one dsres to utter a
word against him. He has caused a
cross Of red to be painted on all the
houses Of people whom he suspects are
not wholly in sympathy with him, and
into these marked residences his police
and soldiers 60 at any hour Of the day OF
night. They ransaok the rooms on the
ground that they are looking for revolu-
tionists who are supposed to DO hidden
There. The people in these houses are
forbidden to lock their doors.
No one is allowed to ride on horseback
through the streets after O'Clock in the
afternoon; no three persons are allowed
to walk the streets in company at any
time of the day, and No two persons can
stand and converse on the streets. 1t is
q veritable reign of terror for all who,
either through fear or interest, have
failed to cast their fortunes with Balma-
ceda.
The storeksepers and all who employ
laborers have to furnish each with tag
showing that they are regularly employ
ed by such q merchant at such q place.
II the laborsr is caught on the street 60
ing to or from his work without this tag
he is gobbled up by the soldiers of Bal
maceda and impressed into his service.
This system exists in Valparaiso also.
Tacks Driven Into Mans Hands.
One of the gentlemen referred to was
walking along the street past jail yard.
He heard some terrible shrieks from
some one on the other side of the wall.
He inquired of soldier the cause aud
WAS told that some Of Balmaceda's sol.
diers were furnishing a man who had re-
fused to work for him by driving lacks
and pins into his hands and fingers The
next day he saw a horrible punishment
melted out to q CHILEAN who had been
heard to say that he was willing to work
his hands Off for the revolutionists. The
poor fellows hands were placed on a
block and his fingers pounded to a jelly
by a big mallet in tho hands of soldier
He was then told that no could 60 and
work his hands any way he wanted t @
and for any one.

That settled it A young woman and
a learned one, too She must not be
turned away unsatislied. Miss Reed was
admitted and enjoyed the luxury of a
half hours chat with the genial old au-
tocrat.
It is rumored in literary circles that
Laura Jean Libbey makes $500 per week
out of her novels, and that she has as
clever a head for business as she has for
paper covered novels. On being pressed,
she admitted that she was the ''Girlie
May" who ran opposition to Laura Jean
Libbey in the novel line; and she also
confessed to having originated the idea
herself She dresses in very light colors,
gray being her favorite dress color for
the street. When not turning out love
stories she is upon charitable work in
tent She is indignant at the idea of be-
ing accused of doing any novels in the
erotio line.
Annie Reeve Aldrich, who wrote ''The
Rose of Flame" and the eject of Love"
is down on Long Island studying ''types -"
She is girl with striking features and
an impressive way Of talking. When at
home she lives quietly in a small fiat with
her mother, taking her meals "out" in
the most approved Bohemian New Yorker
style. Miss Aldrich has had many ad-
mirers, the one lying nearest her heart
strings, it is said, having been an Episco-
pal clergyman.
The girl of "our set'' are wearing q new
kind of gown when they receive dear Jack
or Tom or Charley of an evening. This
is the way the gown is made, or rather,
the way 1t is hung, for there is no ma
king to 1t.
Four great long strips Of some soft
material, preferably cashmere, are sewn
together and fastened at the back Of the
neck of the wearer. Four more are fast
ened to the front Of her neck. These
pieces are without visible support, but,
secretly, they are secured to an elastic
which runs underneath fold.
The long straight pieces are then pinned
up at the sides with stick pins, fastened
up in front and at the back with daggers
and are then allowed to fall and droop
and cling wheresoe'er and howsoe'er they
will A heavy cord goes around the
waist.
But about these pins. Let Jack or Tom
or Charley beware, for they are dread
fully sharp, and there are ever so many
Of them. CARRIE CARELEsA
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-06-23

The West with its opportunities for en-
terprise and oftentimes the necessity for
self-culture, has given US many a pro-
duct of which the older civilization
might be proud. From Milwaukee, with
che best education to be obtained in the
universities Of Michigan, comes Miss
Elizabeth Jean Jordan, pretty dark
eyed, black-haired young girl, half Span
| ish in descent. She takes assignments
and goes about collecting news as If she
were q man, and, what is more, she
comes back to the office and writes up
her "story" in a way which is the envy
Of many a man who claims that news
paper women are out of place in the
journalistic field, and that they retain
their positions through favoritism rather
| then earnest work.
Miss Jordan contradicts this by every
act OF her journalists life, moving about
with a swing and an independence that
is all her own. One day sees her en- route
for the South where, among the wilds of
Virginia, she spends seven days and
| nights in the saddle, looking up a story,
and stopping to rest only when nightfall
forbids further pursuit of her mission.
Another time finds her at o sudden sum
mons from her editor invading the
morGue in company only with the keeper
| in search of the body Of a dead baby
| whose parents were too poor to give it
burial, and who were obliged to send 1t
to a morgue to DO buried at the city's
expense.
With but two hours notice, dinner
less, fatigued with the work of the day,
tho plucky little woman looked up the
baby, found its little body in its rough
little coffin and wrote up the STORY"
turning in the copy before midnight. so
that 1t might be in time for the next
mornings paper. So pathetic were tho
details Of the poverty and sorrow of the
parents that before 10 o'clock in the
scribed to take the little one to its last
poor resting place.
"Shall 1 go into journalism" Would
you advise me to be a newspaper reporter3
Is there a chance for me? is a question
that is asked by many a young woman
who is enamored Of the accounts which
she reads in newspaper paragraphs Of
life with the types.
To each there Is but one answer, and It
will apply to any and all seeking infor-
nation on the subject.
If you have endless patience, great
good nature, don't know what 1t is to be
discouraged, can summon tact and perse-
verance Ms your handmaidens, are fairly
we'll educated, have magnificent health,
and the feeling that there is nothing in
the heavens above or in the earth be-
meath, or the waters which surround the
Garth, or in the atmosphere that envelopes
It, about which you cannot get full
and accurate description, If it pleases
you to do SO, then you may be sure
you have the journalistic feeling,
and that the newspaper instinct abides
In you.

be needed. The panels can be purchased
in various sizes and in different kinds OF
wood to correspond with the woodwork
with which they are TO go. With one
of them mounted on an easel before
her and q camp stool underneath with
her paints upon it, mahl-stick in
hand, the fair young girl artist
who has hitherto dabbled in silk and
satin painting feels as though she had O
laborious contract before her. Yet this
painting on panals, even though they be
large, is a very agreeable piece of work,
for it shows each touch of the brush and
being large is decidedly snowy when
done. The old style of painting plates,
placques, tides and bannerettes has gone
out, and, in place of it, there has come
the fashion of doing broader, Shower,
moro decorative kinds of fancy work
which shall be not only more for the
money, but more useful and effective
when done.
Miss Sallie Hargons, whose recently
announced engagement to Mr.. Duncan
Elliot is surprising society TALKS, Is not
only a beautiful girl, but fascinating
one as we'll.
In a certain class formed in New York
upper society for the cultivation of grace
and graceful manners, Miss Hargons be-
came a member. The teacher, who is a
woman endowed with fine perceptions
and that innate quickness which enables
the possessor to read and recognize good
qualities in a woman, quickly detected
Miss Sallie's superiorities and called her
out from the class.
TUskh@x,A kInk - AL to-
to the celebrated beauty, the teacher In
formed her fair pupil that she might be-
come the possessor Of as much homage
as she chose to exact from her followers;
and then she told Miss Hargons what she
should wear and how she should walk
and act.
Long befor this, ere Miss Hargons had
ever received word Of teaching, she had
made herself the most popular of society
bellies.
Apropos of Duncan Elliot, it will be re-
membered that his father was a celebrated
physician, but it is not generally known
how he came to his death.
For many years he was the most popu.
lar accoucheur in the country, and in
the discharge of his professional duties
he was compelled to inahale more ether
than is good for any ordinary pair Of
mortal lungs. DR.. Elliott's health soor
began to give way, and in the course Of
time he developed a malady which caused
his death-all from inhaling ether pro
fessionally.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, though over
eighty, is still accessible to visitors, es
pecially If they be young, learned and Of
female types. His we'll known fondness
for the sex clings to him through all the
feebleness of old age and fast declining
years.
A friend was calling upon him recently
when a servant entered, bearing the card
of Helen Leah Reed.
"Who is Helen Leah Reed P' queried
DR.. Holmes. 81 guess you will have tc
tell her to come again"
