THEDEATH OF A SOUL.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 30.-Annie Reed,
a woman who died in rags at the Mary
land hospital tst night, from alcoholic eX-
cesses, had "A history as sad as was ever
told by the pen of rOmance-wrlter. Reed
was an assumed name. AT the request OF
members of the family her identity will
remain secret. She was the most beau
tiful of three daughters of wealthy land
owner in Carroll county. Her father de-
scended from one of the oldest and proud
est families in Maryland. Twenty years
ago she made her debut at a brilliant re-
ception at Annapolis. For three years she
was a reigning queen in society. Her
beauty was far-famed, and she was sought
in marriage by some of the leading young
men of this city In the height of her
social cOnquests she developed a passion
for wine. To { horror of her sisters and
her parents she was brought home from
several receptions in an intoxicated con
ditiOn. Gradually she drifted into a life
of sin and shame. She left home. became
the companion in shame of a handsome
sporting man, and soon became a leader of
the demi-monde. She was notorious In
both Washington and Baltimore. One of
her sisters married a clergyman, and, al
though they made every effort to reclaim
her. the reckless young woman sank
lower and lower. About two years ago
she was turned from vile den, the lowest
OF the Inc o. HOu>eS WhlCH pIo-
tected her in her shame She then took
a miserable shanty in an alley, from which
she was frequently carried n a drunken
condition to the police station. She was
found by the officers finally overcome by
her eXcesses and dying on the filthy floor of
her den. When she was removed to the
hOspit |, her relatives heard through the
newspapers that her end was near, and
then they went to see her. Her two sisters
and a brother-iu-law, as they stood around
the beside and looked at the bloated fea-
lures, marked with sin and suffering.
shuddered at the change. But those
bleared. bloodshot eyes only opened occa-
Sionally, and stared uurecCguiZingly
around Not once did the poor human
wreck shake off the unconsciousness, and
for two days and night lay in a comatose
condiii III. Death finally relieved the suh-
crer and the weary watchers.

BlackmaiI in Ancient Times.

In the beginning of the Eighteenth cent
ury the Scottish Highlands, and part Of
the Lowlands bordering on the Highlands,
were in an extremely barbarous state, en-
joying but an imperfect protection under
the law. Theft and robbery were not
then regarded as they are now; to carry OF
the cattle of neighbor was perhaps only
wreaking out an old family feud or clan
dispute. In these circumstances a class of
men rose up who proposed to take upon
themselves the duty of protecting the prop
erty of individuals on the payment by
them of percentage on their rents, gener-
ally per cent. This was known as black
mail
Notwithstanding the fact that nearly all
of these men were of good Highland fami-
lies, there was only too good reason to
suspect that they encouraged and prOfited
by robberies in order to make the black
mail necessity. About 1870 the cele-
brated Rob Roy was a notable levier of
blackmail in the southern Highlands. The
levier of the impost held himself bound to
pay an equivalent for all cattle which were
lost by the payers of blackmail which he
was unable to recover. BlackmaiI ceased
to be heard of after the breaking out of
the rebellion under the young Pretender
in 1745, and the word was gradually iden-
titled with the blackmail of modern So
clety.

PROTECT YOUR HEALTH.

Cold and moisture combined have tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are
apt TO be more tardily performed in winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the eXcretory functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw of but little waste matter at this
season. The system, therefore, requires
opening up little, and purifying and reg
ulating, and the safest, surest ana most
thorough tonic and Alternative that can be
used for these purposes is Hostetter's )
Stomach Btters. Persons who wish to
escape The rheumatic twinges the dyspep-

THE IRISH QUESTION.

LONDON, Jan. 30-AIr Shaw-Lefevre,
Liberal. moved in the house of commons
today that the government use its intiu-
euce in favor of the settlement by arbitra-
tion of the remaining disputes between the
tenants and landlords in Ireland arising
from the plan of campaign. The motion
caused a long debate.
Mr. Balfour attacked the plan of cam
paign at great length. The tenants had a
remedy in the courts. but had not availed
themselves of it. If he was an Irish land
lord he would beg his bread rather than
submit 10 the plan Of campaign.
At this point DIR. ChaS. Tanner. Nation
alist, Of Cork. jumped TO his feet. and
pointing at Mr. Baifour. exclaimed:
You are a canting snob,' but immedI-
ately aiterward Withdrew the expression.
The speaker warned Mr.. Tanner against
a repetition Of the offenSe.
Upon a division, the motion of Mr.
Shaw-Lefevre was rejected by vote Of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 0-Representative
Walker, of the coinage committee an
nounces that the committee now desire in
formation upon both sides of the free coin
age question, and wish any gentlemen
who come before them TO direct their
statements to the following points:
l. What effect has depreciation of the
commercial price Of silver by one-fifth in
Europe and the United States below its
coinage price Of fifteen and one-half to one
of gold had on the price of products and of
wages in the silver standard countries2
2 What effect has the depreciation of
silver by one-fifth, as compared with gold,
Dad on the price Of products in this coun-
try which are sent TO Europein competition
with the products of silver standard coun-
tries2 Also, on wages in this country?
3. What effect would it have on the
prices Of products and wages in this coun-
Try to 20 to silver monometalism ut 16 to
IF gold with silver and gold at their present
commercial ratio2
4. Would or would not the free coinage
Of silver in this country alone at its present

AN OLD HOUSE.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 30-What is gener-
ally believed TO be the oldest house stand
ing in Boston has been transferred from
one estate to another for the first time 10
over 200 years. The property is known as
the VI ellis mansion, and is situated at ~
Salem street. The sale was to Mr.. Ratch-
esky, Hebrew millionaire, VINO has been
making many investments in the North
End recently. This relic of the colonial
period, now used as store and tenement,
bears a strong resemblance in style
OF architecture TO tue old Dick
ems house in London. It is a two
story frame structure, very substan-
tial and likely to last another genera
tion, if not torn down to make room for a
modern building. The striking peculiar
ity Of its exterior is that its second story
projects six inches or more beyond the
walls OF the first, freak of construction
that can't be accounted for on any known
ground of practical use or ornamehtation.
The title was examined into by Attorney
John L. Hassan, who discovered that it
had not previously been inquired into
since 1851, when it came into the posses
sion of the forefatherS of the present con-
trolltrs of the Wells estate.

Meaning of the Word DOLL"

Numbered with other problems referring
to small matters is the one why the little
manakin so enjoyed by girls is called a
doll" instead of, as the French do, pup
pet" or, with the Italians, ''bambino'' or
baby. With view to setting at rest the
minds of little women on this subject
Golden Days has Investigated the meaning
of the word doll" 1t says: To explain, it
is necessary to go back to the Middle Ages,
when it was the fashion all over the Chris
tian world for mothers 10 give their little
children the name Of patron saint. Some
saints were more popular than others, and
St. DOrothea was at one period more pop
uIar than all DorOthea, or Dorothy, as
the English have it, means gift from
God" But Dorothea or Dorothy is much
too long a name for little, toddling baby,
and so it was shortened to Dolly and Doll.
and from giving the babies nickname it
was an easy step TO give the name to the
little images of which the babies were SO
fond

tales of social life come down from III
clouds called Australia or India, and en-
dow everybody With wealth got by means
as magical as the discovery OF underground
treasures or the seizure of the little peo-
pies gold plate and jewels. But, above all,
they do i'll if Knocked at or entrapped.
When the wretched jokers made the rock
where the dwarfs were accustomed to sit
burning hot-when the miserable shepherd
strewed ashes under his cherry tree, so that
he might discover the shape OF the dwarf
ish feet that came tripping along as light
as birds, while the funny little hands did
the work of plowmen and husbandmen-
then these foolish peppers, worse than
Peeping Tom of Coventry, paid for their
folly in purse and person II, however,
the folk received the wee man kindly, or
did good service to the wandering moss
wyhe, health and happiness, prosperity
and preservation became theirs, and the
very elements obeyed the small hand of
the grateful elf
Everywhere we find legends and tradi-
tions of these wee people. How these legends
were first set ahoat no one now can tell.
What basis of fact is in them is just as
great mystery Say that small races OF
men have been found-we know something
about them now, both historically and
ethnologically-they are not close enough
TO fable to explain and justify. The small
Lapps-the small earthmen-the low stat
ured tribes of India, do not account for the
traditions of wise and potent dwarfs who
can do more than mortal men, though they
look so feeble and are so misshapen.
Somehow these wee people have grown
out of mems minds in all nations, from
east to west, and the differences between
them are to be traced TO climate rather
than origin. The African Yumbos, white
in color and but two feet high in stature,
are but the Icelandic duergar in another
dress. The brownie of England and the
Ms of the farther north are but the Irish
leprechaun and the German kobold, like
Himzelmann of Hildemuhlen, for exam
pie, and the same story is found in various
disguiseS.
