DUMB WOMAN SPEAKS.
After Three Years of Silence Fit OF
Anger Brings Back Her Voice.

After Three Years of Silence n Fit OF
Anger Brings Back Her Voice.
The vegetable cook at Green's hotel,
whose name is Mary Murphy, has been
dumb for three years, but the other day,
being aroused to fit of intense anger
by the impudence of colored waiter
named Joe Todd, she suddenly recovered
her speech.
Miss Murphy is buxom Irish girl,
about twenty-five years of age, and she
has been prominent official in Green's
kitchen for several years. Three years
ago she suffered from bad bronchial
attack and completely lost her voice.
She was known by her co-laborers as
Speak Easy Mary" and she was much
sought after as wife by eligible bache-
lors on account of her really valuable
superintendent could not talk back.
She was pursuing her vocations when
Mr.. Todd came into the kitchen and
told the empress of the vegetable de-
partment that the potatoes were not
half cooked and that the guests in the
dining room had sent them back in dis
gust. The colored gentleman also made
some rude remarks to Miss Murphy,
knowing that she could not reply. But
the girls Celtic blood was aroused, she
turned on her abuser and brandishing
her fork she gave him piece of her
mind in fine old Celtic.
All the employees in the kitchen were
astonished to hear the autocrat of the
vegetables speak, and then the miracle
was understood. What the doctors for
years had failed to do, rage had
achieved. The girls hot blood at the
sneers of the colored gentleman had
loosened her tongue, and she could
speak once more after long silence.
There was much rejoicing over the
event and festival was extemporized.
Miss Murphy in her joy took back all
the cruel things she said to Mr.. Todd,
and everybody was happy and joyful

The Trials and Tribulations of Evadins
Uncle Sans Officers.
/ heard little story the other day
which was said to illustrate difference
between men and women: of that be
you the judges. There was delivered
over to the tender mercies of fine,
brown-eyed customs inspectress a wom-
an suspected of smuggling, on whose
person, indeed, examination brought to
light silk enough for dress or two, and
no one will ever know why she
thought it necessary to conceal these
$500 in gold pieces. The cu!prit was
overwhelmed with modification.
You won't expose me-" she begg ID,
you won't give my nance"
The inspectress folded up the silk and
said nothing.
For the love of heaven, you won't
let it go into the papers?"
The inspectress did not answer.
Il beseech You, | implore you," here
she cast herself upon the neck ofsthe
inspectress, ''oe merciful. | will. give
you anything you ask, I'll give you all
have on earth; I'll give you a dollar!"
And where does the man come in? O.
nowhere; except that in the opinion of
the inspectress man affected to such
anguish would have offered the $500.
1t is a more difficult matter for a
woman to conceal anything about her
than it was in the days of the late la
mented bustle-here one is tempted to
allude to the hoop skirt rumor-and this
has lightened greatly the labors of the
inspectresses, who are now only search
ers of the person; yet as they stand at
the gang plank watching passengers
come ashore there chances now and
then to one of them something of interest.
Have you Struggled anything?"
asked a bright-eyed, excitable little
creature bundled up in furs, of the
woman who stood next ker on the dock
the other morning.
''No"
"Well, have and wish I were olt
of here"
A little pause and then, "What is it?''
"It's just the loveliest lace wrap that

AT EVENING.

Eastward she hilltops show
Still where his wheels have run,
All golden in the glow
OF the departing sun;
Burns now single spar
In the last crimson light
Fades-and, above, one star
Blooms In the night.
AS 'twere q jewel flower
Set In this garden blue,
Telling the twilight hour
When falls the silent dew;
AS 'twere lantern there
Lighting Diana's way
Through the dim realms Of afr.
With its pale ray.
Over yon purple line
See, her white face appearsi
Breathe once the air divine
STEPPED in her fragrant tearsi
Out Of this silver bath
Flowers shall emerge at dawn
Gracing the narrow path
Across the lawn.
Far in the tranquil deep
Tremble million eyes,
Guarding the world asleep
Under the summer skies.
Night, like mother mild,
Tenderly to her breast
Takes up her weary child
And gives it rest.

HORSE SH.
A Chicago Butcher Charged with Selling
II Tabled Beef"

1t Tabled Beef"
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Great consterna-
ton was caused among patrons Of res
taurants, boarding houses and retailers
who deal in cheap meat in this city by
the arrest of George Youngclaus, of INA
Fifty-first street on the charge of sell
ing horse flesh labeled as beef" to such
institutions.
The police have been aware for some
time Chat a systematic trade in horse
flesh was being carried on between cor
tain meat dealers and the restaurants
but the meat was prepared so carefully
all bones being removed and the hind
quarters sold-that it was impossible to
detect the difference between a beef
steak and horsesteak.
Youngclaus was at once arrested, and
on his premises the officers found a lot
of horse flesh in pickle, verifying the
report that Youngclaus was shortly to
sell, on contract, quantity of "corned
beef"
Youngclaus issaid to have a partner,
who has, however, fled, taking with him
a lot of old horses which were to be
slaughtered.
1t is believed that the traffic in horse
flesh in this city has amounted to many
thousands of dollars.
