IS jake INSANEP

An Attempt Being Made 10 Prevent the
Celebrated witness From Joining DR..
Maxwell.
1t is altogether probable that "Jakie'
Better who gave such wonderful evidence
in the Maxwell case, will never have a
trial for perjury, for which crime he is in
dicted. Prosecutor Bow went to Cleve-
land Saturday to look into the case and
reports that great effort is being made
to prove Better insane, with strong indi-
cations that the proof will be sufficient.
1t appears that "Jakie" received violent
blow in the head when he was boy, and
he has since been slightly Off at times.
1t does not appear however that he has a
mania for being n witness in abortion
cases, though his relations and his at
torney, Mr.. Pinney, state that he has wild
ideas. The prosecutor is Of the opinion
that the relations will succeed in making
Better insane, but adds, that he will see
to IL personally that he be incatcerated in
an insane asylum, as he is too expensive
a man to permit to be at large, 1t is not
material whether he goes to the pen OF
the insane asylum, though "Jakie" prefers
to be considered sane and stand trial.

Technical Terms in Gymnastles.

Dick, in his book on gymnastics, gives
these definitions:
The reach is the point TO which the hand
is raised on the full upward extension of
the arm.
The half reach is the point, on the level
with the face, to which the hand Is raised
when the forearm is bent nearly at a right
angle with the upper arm.
The rest is the point, on a level with the
breast, TO which the hand Is raised or low
cred when the arm Is completely bent.
The distance is the space between the
hands when they are stretched forward,
the width of the shoulders apart, as in
vaulting.
The space is the distance between any
two regularly recurring points Of an appa-
ratus, as the rounds Of ladder.
Yielding Is the action of the body per-
formed to avoid shock or conclusion on
dropping from height
The leading hand, foot or side Is the one
which takes the lead in any exercise.
The supporting hand. foot or side follows
the leading one
The reversed grasp Of the hand Is when
the palm is turned inward, toward the
face,

A RARRARTC ARTIST.

At lie Moustier, in France, there were
dug up some years ago several objects be
longing TO the prehistoric period Among
the most interesting Of these was u frag-
ment Of tusk Of the mammoth, on which
was carved likeness of the animal itself.
The mammoth was a huge creature,
much larger than elephants of the present
day, covered with long reddish hair and
armed with curved tusks. As an entire
carcass was found imbedded in the ice, In
Siberia, where it had lain for ages It's gen
eral appearance is known, and the cave
man who carved the wonderful relic OF
primeval times with his flint knife, cor
rectly gave in outlines the likeness Of the
animal The illustration here given is Of
double interest, showing, as 1t does, the
curious relic described and giving an idea
of the appearance and dress Of the bar
barian who carved it.

Their marriage was most romantic one.
Mantell was born at Irvine, Ayrshire, Scot
Land, thirty-hve years ago. His father was
a successful merchant, and expected his
son to gradually work into the business
and eventually relieve him of its active
cares. But before the boys school days
ended, it became evident that he had no
aptitude for mastering the secrets of a
counting room. He devoted most of his
time and energies to amateur theatricals,
and nothing which his father could say or
do would make him give them up. This
brought about unpleasant relations be-
tween father and son, and few months
before his eighteenth birthday young
Robert ran away from home to seek his
fortune.
His flight ended in Dublin. When he
reached there he had fully resolved to be-
come professional actor. 1t was easier to
make the resolve than it was TO get an en-
gagement; but Mantell was plucky. He
managed to get enough TO eat by doing odd
jobs Not for moment did his ambition
forsalxe him. He haunted the stage doors
of theaters, and whenever he could scrape
together enough money watched perform
ances from a seat in the gallery. Indeed,
he often went hungry in order TO save his
money for admission tickets. One night,
at Greenock, he went to the play and saw
an actress whose name was on the bills as
Marie Sheldon. Her part was an unim-
portant one; but Mantell fell in love with
her then and there. BY dint of many
maneuvers he gained acquaintance with
her. In few months, although his for
tunes had not improved, they were mar
ried. For several years they lived in the
most precarious fashion. Mrs. Mantell
was more successful in getting occasional
engagements than was her husband.
When at last he secured chance to play
small part in an English theater he at
once attracted attention. He was Of hand
some face and fine figure, his movements
were graceful and his voice was pleasant.
Miss Wallis, an English actress Of great
prominence at that time, saw him and en-
gagged him for her support. He remained
in England for several years, winning con
siderable success. Finally with his family
"a child had been born TO them-he came
TO America. He began his second season
in America as Fanny Davenport's leading
man at a salary of $3.50 week. Six years
ago he became a star, his best known play
being "Monbars." He has been uniformly
successful, and is now considered one OF
the best, II not the best, romantic and
emotional actors in America.
Mrs. Mantell has generally been mem
Der of her husbands company. In 1879
something was printed about trouble be-
tween them, but nothing came of it. From
that time to this they are supposed to have
been contented and happy.
Mr.. Mantell is personally a very pleasant
man. He is polished in manner, is finely
educated and keeps himself well informed
on what is going on in the world around

THE CHAMPION ANGEL.

Unveiled, In common air, ! sometimes see
The champion angel, holy, glad and strong,
Who at thy right hand ever walks along,
Unseen Of men, and undiscerned by thee.
His height Is glorious, but he bends TO know
What trouble there may be In thy dark eyes;
And while he looks, sweet thoughts of peace
arise,
And swift thy hearts wild beatings tranquil
grow.
Benign, intense, and ceaseless Is his care.
His mighty mantle wraps thee every hour
From sun and storm and all the nameless wear
OF life. He clasps the hand-thou know'st not
why
But with the grasp Is given a strange new
power,
And thou art strong TO do, 10 bear, TO die

The French milliners use little fancy
pins In place of stitches wherever possible.
The trimming on some Of the new hats is
entirely put on with pins. Old paste orna-
ments may be turned to good account now
for trimming bonnets. They are used for
fastening velvet bows. 1t seems likely
that the ridiculously small bonnet will be
followed by the ridiculously large bonnet.
This of course will not be surprise to those
who know fashions moods,
The "four-in.hand" is one Of the newest
shapes in felt hats. 1t is to be had in vari-
ous shades of gray, drab and brown. The
trimming is generally velvet band fas-
tened with jet or paste buckle and three
black tips at the side. The most becoming
hats for schoolgirls are the wide brimmed
beaver felts. They only need band and
q bow for trimming

The Newest Laces.

The newest Chantilly has peacocks. pago-
das and Cupids In swings introduced into
some Of the designs Chiffon has been
made in the lace machines as stripes alter
mating with lace insertion, but certainly
the newest feature in this seasons lace is
the boldness Of the designs, where Cupid
Is seen with bow and arrows. also birds
and grasshoppers appear TO crawl. The
old fashioned wire grounds have come in
again, and these as well as many other
laces, are made in the fourteen inch depths
for basques, and have a heading, which
obyiates any other trimming. Cobwebs
are favorite pattern in black silk gui-
pure. Ecru and white are mixed In the
new white laces, and the very white tinge
of last season has been superseded by a
bluer tone

SAFE BLOWN OPEN.
Burglars Enter the Osnaburg De-
pot and Secure Considerable
Plunder,

Bold burglaries are becoming entirely
too numerous, and the daring deeds COM
mitted give evidence that an organized
band have headquarters in Stark county
and commit an ofIieDse whenever they
are short OF funds. One of the most dar-
ing which have been lately committed in
Stark county was committed Friday night,
The depot of the G. & c. railroad at that
point Is not guarded at night, hence IL was
not a difficult task to break into the
building. To open the safe, however, was
another matter and burglars generally
shun the danger incident to the exploit Of
opening q safe. In this case they were
not daunted by iron doors between them
eelves and their coveted prize and went to
work with will accordingly. Holes we're
bored in the safe, giant powder placed in
them and the doors blown from their
hinges. There was only 81 80 in money
in the safe, but there we're 500 railroad
tickets which the thieves secured. An
overcoat belonging to Mr.. Walker OF
Cleveland, was hanging in the Office and
this was also taken. There seems to be
no clue to the perpetrators of the bold
deed.
The cracksmen expected to make rich
haul. The Monongahela and Lake Erie
Coal company, and the Osnaburgh Mining
company usually place the ir money in the
safe the night before pay day, but fol-
some cause they did not place 1t in the
safe that night.

lhim-something that can be said OF com
paratively few actors. The hard struggle
that he has passed through and the success
that has followed it have made him
thorough man of the world. An idea Of
how earnestly he has worked to win that
success may be gathered from statement
he made one day in conversation with the
writer "In the first eight years of my
career" said he, 81 impersonated not less
than 750 different characters, large and
small, on the stage. While playing with
kmall companies in England have taken
as many as a dozen different parts In one

'Richard ILL., and by rushing behind the
soenes as quick as my lines were spoken
and changing my helmet and shield been
able to go on the next instant rs Rich
mond's army A moment later was
playing Richmond's part again"
He has become citizen Of the United
States and owns splendid home in New
York. People say that the trouble between
him and his wife was begun by the silly
letters and attentions of foolish girls who
saw the actor on the stage, admired his
handsome face and fancied they were in
love with him. FRANK FALcoNER-

rAs WORLDS FIRST ARTISTS.

The Cave Men of Primeyal Days and
Their Artistic Carvings.
Thousands of years before any recorded
history, in those ancient times when the
greater part of Europe was covered with
ice and snow, and the reindeer and the
huge mammoth roamed over the plains,
race of men existed whose dwellings were
caves, or the shelter of overhanging rocks.
The cave men are supposed to have resem-
bled somewhat the Eskimos Of the present
day. They were fond of cutting figures of
animals on pieces of bone and ivory, and
their work is said to be the oldest artistic
carving in the world.
