Horace Greeley. Daughter.

Fancy woman OF about 80 years OF
age, of medium height, dark brown
hair and black eyes that pierce and
sparkle. She is OF full figure and
huff.ies along with determination OF
one who has a mission to perform.
She is dressed in light-colored
wooden dress and wears a jaunty
hat that sets off to advantage one of
the most perfect faces ever seen-
rounded. with soft pink and white
skin, two roguish dimples, a perfect

she work. She greatly aids her hus-

OF her time there. Her life is given
up to LIES grandest work-helping

Female scarecro,v. No. Popular.

The feminine scarecrow doesn't
seem to be very popular. Occasion
ally a faded print wrapper is seen
Mapping disconsolately about eaunt
form and bedraggled sunbonnot lops
above. But the bifurcated underpin-
ming prevails. Now this isn't because
the Maine farmer has u poor idea of
women as holy terror.
Ask his wife!
The truth is the good matron OF the
Maine farm house is reluctant about
furnishing the required makeup.
Did you ever know the time when a
farmers wife was prepared to yield
up gown exclusively for the robing
of a scarecyOw?
The gown is destined to a career
too great for such sacrifice. First it
is new; then it is washed; then It's
turned: then ripped up. washed and
made over; afterward few sections
are carefully laid aside in the rag bag
and the remainder is made up with
some other dress or little new ma
terial. Then Hattie, Jane, or some
other OF the children has it for q
school dress. and, lastly. its remain
ing fabric is imperatively demanded
by an unfinished hooked rug.
Now, if you see any nook or Granny
in this closely woven chain. OF events
where the scarecrOw can slip in and
| claim n share, please point it out.
Then, too. some women do not like
to See their clothes upon anybody
else. even scarecrOw. Such a
woman doesn't like to give the neigh
bors chance to say: There's that
20-cent plaid gingham O Miss Simp-
kins' out there soaring the crows off n
the ten-acre lot. Twas allus an
awful lookin' old dud an guess it's
| got the right place at last"
Women can always be spiteful, you
| know.
Therefore the gowned scarecrow Is
a scarce article, and if the farmer
wants guardian for his corn-piece
he must fall to and construct a man
| in his own image.

ROBBERS DENS.
Two Men Who Were Relieved Of Sur
plus Cash.
One is Out Only $50, But the Other
Says He Was DespoiIed of $3.50
in Greenbacks.

woman named Lille Ackley was ar
rested yesterday morning and charged
with grand larceny. According to the
story of the man whom she is accused of
robbing, the affair happened in broad
daylight. He said he was passing her
house when she called him in, stating
that she wanted to talk with him. He
accepted the invitation, and while he was
in the place he was robbed of a twenty
dollar piece.
He said he had his hand on his purse,
which was in his trousers pocket, when
he entered, and he knew the amount that
was there. When he missed the purse,
the woman told him to search in all his
pockets, and he found it in rear pock ct
of his pantaloons. A twenty-dollar piece
was missing, and he accused her of TAX
ing it. She denied the accusation, but he
complained against her, and she was ar
rested by Officer Rider.
The party who claims TO have been
robbed was relieved of some of his sur
plus cash about two years ago by women
OF the same class.
ANOTHER VICTIM.
Late last night another man, who de-
clined to give his name, reported to the
police that he had just been robbed of
$3.50 in an L-street crib. While he was
paying his attentions to the woman who
presided over the house someone, he
says, played the panel game on him.
When he was about to take his depart
ure he found that $3.50 had been distracted
from roll of greenbacks in his pocket,
leaving him only $40 out of $500 with
which he entered.
Officer Mclaughlin about midnight ar
rested the woman who was suspected of
having committed the theft. She is
known as Kittie Farley. Captain Lee
also arrested woman on suspicion. by
the name of McNeth, or something of the
sort.
How any man with grain of sense,
and sober, could go i'll one of these denS
with $500 in his pocket, is something that
surpasses the understanding of the aver
age citizen. But it seems the fools are
not all dead yet.

August Fourgous, the Frenchman who
was convicted last week of murdering his
wife eleven months ago, was brought be-
fore Judge Van Fleet yesterday to receive
his sentence. The jury that convicted
Fourgous recommended the court to
sentence him to imprisonment for life.
The court reviewed the trial and the
circumstances connected Herewith, and
asked the prisoner if he had any legal
reasons to advance why the court
should not pronounce his sentence. This
was done through an interpreter, and the
prisoner made answer through the same
channel
Fourgous made quite long statement,
IN which he released the story of the
trouble that had existed between himself
and his wife, and declared that the latter's
daughter, Mrs. Heisch, was at the bottom

them both, whom he charged with vari-
Gus improper practices. He still denied
his guilt, saying that he was innocent as

Wednesday, December I'd, as the time for

The motion to set aside the indictment
