A WOMAN IN TROUSERS.
The Peculiar Yet Sad Case in a Phil
 delphia Police Court.

The PecuI1ar N CT sad Case In a Fhtla.
 delphia Police Court.
 From the Philadelphia News.l
 Immediately after the criminal cases had been disposed of in the city hall hesring room this morning, William Almendinger, better known as the ''beggar detective, {" informed Magistrate Pole that the police had 8 peculiar and sad case in the Genital Station to be heard.
 With delay the Justice made his way to the cellroom, followed by a number of newspaper men. After they had taken their places quaint looking figure dressed in dark trousers, navy blue shirt and a slouch hat was ushered up to the magis- trate's desk. Around the neck of the pris- oner was black silk handkerchief, knotted in sailors style. Across the eyes of the offender was s large pair of blue eyeglass- es, evidently worn to conceal the identity of the victim of the law.
 ''What is your namef" inquired the ma gistrste.
 'tJohn Thomas"
 "Oh, no, 1t isn't" said the justice.
 ''Well, that is the name I gave, but 1t is really Mary Thomas"
 ''How old are yous''
 'I said was 40"
 ''Is that correctf"
 'tNo, sir; but do not care 10 give my age"
 "Wel, am 53." And the long gray hair which struggled over her neck and ears did not belle the last answer.
 ''How came you in this garbl Don't you known it is against the law for 8 woman to wear such clothingi"
 Mary said the reason she wore the cos- tune of a man was because she could earn more money that way than If dressed in the regular femine apparel. She further stated that she had heard something about it being against the law to dress as she then was, but circumstances demanded it. Then followed her story, which was woefnl in the extreme. The womsn's words were couched in the finest English, and in more ways than one she showed that at one time she was 8 woman of refinement and until overcome by misfortune had seen better days She refused to tell where she lived and would say nothing that would lead to her detection.
 Her story was as follows: She had been in this city for five or six years. Recently she was seized with severe illness, and when sue recovered, her money being sll gone, she assumed the garb of 8 man to better enable her to make living. She had been selling papers for few days, and managed to eke out an existence, when this morning she was taken into custody by Officer Lilly, of the Fourth district. The magistrate was very much impressed with the old lady's story, and asked her if he would let her go she would allow him to send some one with her to buy her dress. She begged the magistrate not to do this, but permit her to send out from the sta ton house and purchase clothing, then let her depart. She promised never more to be seen in male attire
 The justice, however, handed her over to the care of the matron, and this afternoon he will see what can be done toward pur- chasing an outfit for the old but misguided lady, when she will be discharged.

 OLE BULBS UTOPIA.
A Spot Where Ruskfn Might Find
 Some Delightful Ruins.


 From the Bradford Eral
 After Ole Bull had fiddled his way into the hearts of the American people and had accumulated large fortune, he undertook to carry out a long cherished dream. He wished to establish a colony of his country men in America, and for this purpose he bought in 1852, over E, ,0O0 acres of land in the unknown wilderness of Potter coun- ty, Pa. Ole Bull located 300 Norwegisns and Danes on his possessions. The price he paid for his lands was about s10, GOO. It was his intention to found four towns. These were Walhalla, New Bergen, New Norway and Oleona. They were laid out with view to the future, and work con- menced. MT. Bull also began work on 6 castle mile or two from Oleona, which was to be pretent;ous structure for the lord of the colony. Each settler was pro- vided plot of ground and set to work. Un- fortunately for the success of the colony Ole Bull had no knsck of protecting him self against interruptions sharpers, and his lands were found to be involved in sue h 8 manner that questions arose as to the ti- ties. Thus it came about that in 1853 many of the colonists left. They were also com pelled to undergo good many prirations, which they were unaccustomed to. The great trees which stood in the way of cul- tivation of the soil presented an obstacle they did not know how to remove. They grubbsd the forests out with mattocks in stead of felling the trees with axes. The hsrdships of the wilderness and of the pio- l neer's life discouraged them.
 In year or two the colonists had nearly all scattered the most of them going to Wisconsin and the Northwest, and MT. Bull, disheartened, his property gone and | the savings of his lifetime gone with his | youth, left his colony and his cherished hopes and returned with his violin to enter tain the people again with his unequaled music.
 Walhalla and New Norway fell into de- | cay, the castle was abandoned-an unfin- | ished pile of rocks-and the lands passed | into the hands of William Raddie, who sub sequently founded a German settlement, | which was more successful.
 | Of the Ole Bull colony, few remained | at Oleona, which is a thriving hamlet. New Bergen is also still wayside settlement. | A few of the colonists survive, but the founder, Ole Bull, died in Norway eleven years ago.
 | When the colony was first projected it \ may be expected that Ole Bull had 8 great
 many friends who wished him unbounded
 prosperity and success. From these friends came to the colonists donations of machin- cry, appliances, stocks, etc. A notable
 gift was from Henry Clay, the distinguished | Kentuckisn, who sent a number of fine Kentucky cattle and horses from his fine | place at Ashland.

He Spoke Too Soon.


 A certain we'll known German physician of the south side was the victim of his own "previousness" the other day. He had successfully treated 8 wealthy lad y's daught- CT for diphtheria, and the lady was eI- tremely grateful for it. When the child was thoroughly well mother and daughter appeared at the physicians office. The lit- tie girl slyly handed the physician a neat knit purse, while the lady went on to say: "For having saved my child doctor, I want to present you with this purse"
 "But," said the physician, after an em- barrassing pause, 'I have sent you bill for $500"
 The lady flushed, then said quietly: ''Let me have the purse, please" She took two S100 bills out of it and re- turned it to him with the remark: 'sThere is $500 in there now, so your bill is paid, il and she left the room.
