A TRAGEDY IN a VIENNA JAIL.
A Female Prisoner Fatally Injured by He
Jump From Her Cell Window.

A Female Prisoner Fatally Injured by Her
Jump From Her Cell Window.
Frau Schneider, who together with her hus-
band, was arrested by the police Of Vienna on
the charge of numbering and robbing a servant
girl, whose body was found in forest near
Vienna, made what will undoubtedly prove
successful attempt to kill herself on Monday.
When Fran Schneider was taken to prison she
was lodged in a cell on the third door of the
jail window opened from this Cell, and
through this the woman, who in some manner
had succeeded in separating the iron bars
guarding the opening, threw herself to the
ground below. She sustained terrible injuries
and when she was carried back into the Jail she
was in dying condition.
The police believe that q number Of other
servant girls who were employed by the
Schheiders. and who have mysteriously disap-
peared. were murdered and robbed by their
employers, and the Investigations they have
made since the prisoners were taken into Gus
tody confirm the suspicious that the Schneislers
have for some time past been engaged in a
series OF Wholesale murders.

KILTED SKIRT DAY NEAR.
Boston Women Determined to Adopt the New
Dress Ideo.


All the talk about movement to take place
in October in Boston. when 200 women, many
of them well known in Boston society," would
appear on the streets in killed suits seems to
have had its birth in very small fire of fact.
The originator OF the idea, Mrs. Margaret
Shaw lngersoli, who lives On Chandler street.
has just returned to town. Mrs. Ingersoll
will herself appear on the first rainy Saturday
after October in the street costume which
she has designed for wet and stormy weather.
There is to be no formal organization, but
Mrs lngersoll, who is seeking not oddity nor
notorlety, but more comfortable and sensi-
ble wet-weather dress for herself and such
other women as may choose to adopt it, is win
ming by her logical arguments a number of
women to her way Of thinking.
A particular day has been chosen for the
first adoption OF short rain dress, SO that all
who choose may make the plunge into the un-
conventional together. and saturday is selected.

"A naval station in the heart of the Antilles
has been for nearly half a century the object
of the maritime policy Of the United States. ~
After citing various unsuccessful efforts made
to this end the writer says
As we have stated before, it is not with Mr.
Bayard, Secretary Of STATE under President
Cleveland, but with Mr.. Blaine, Secretary of
State under President Harrison, that the v.ri,a-
Bile story Of the effort OF the American govern
ment for the eesion Of the mole begins.
IF we are rightly informed-snd We do not
believe we shall be disputed upon this point AZ

March, 1883, that 10 70 say, only few On VS.
after Mr.; harrison's occupation Of the White
House, that Mr.. Preston, the agent of General
Legitime, was sounded by Mr.. Blaine upon the
subject Of the Mofe Saint-Nicolas.
Whether rightly or wrongly, il was affirmed
that Gen LeRitims, in order to secure the
favor of France, had offered to Count de SEES.
maisons, the French minister at Port-au-
Prince. to cede the Mole Saint-Nicolas to the
French republic. We do not desire to enter
here into the discussion Of the affair since NJ.
de Sesmaisons was publicly disavowed by his
government and recalled.
but certain it is that Mr.. Blaine, seeing the
IIayuan republic divided into two factions,
knowing, ON the one hand, that the north, or
partisans OF Hippolite, could not be treated
with upon the question of the Mole. after
what Mr.. Augusta. the special envoy OF Gen.
Hippolite and the yolutionists of the north had
said and written three months previous to Mr.
Bayard, we. to whom the Nois aint-Nicolas
belongs, could not either promise it or sell it,
and knowing. On the oshes hand, that the com.

upon this subject, tho question Of The Mole

republics and govern their relations
MINISTER DOUGLASS
In discussing Hayti's relations with other
powers the writer observes:
"Let it be said at once that since the death of
its first minister to Hayti the American gov
eminent had never found an agent worthy to
replace that upright man until it had
the happy thought of sending to Port-au-
Prince the Hon. Frederick Douglass, the man
in all the United States best qualified to COM
mand the esteem and sympathy of the Hayti-
ans, and, Notwithstanding whatever may
have been said or published upon this
subject. the man most capable OF obtaining
from these hitter all that could be in honor de-
manded of them, compatibly with their dignity
and their interests, in favor Of the United
States"
THE SOLUTION OF TILE QUESTION.
As to the solution OF the Haytia question
the writer says:
"The approaching achievement Of an inter-
oceanic canal through Central America re-
doubles the activity of these Vaccinations
within and round about the Isle of Hayti.
1t is time to put a stop to an equivocal and un-
certain condition of things which disputes all
godf citizens of Hayti and San Domingo.
The two little sister republics are feeble, but
they are proud of their independence, and de-
sire to preserve it.
LET the two great republics of Europe and
America, let France and the United States COM
prehend that the time has come to do for Hayti
and San Domingo what Europe did long ago
for Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Let them take the initiative in the move
ment which shall end in the official and definitve
conservation of the independence and the ab-
soiute and entire neutrality Of the island OF
Hsyti There ID the solution"

How Maine Firemen Managed.

The fremen of Caribou, Me-, were
called upon to perform a feat rather out
of the usual line of duty. The bridge
across the Aroostook river connecting
the two sections of the village burned,
and although the adjacent buildings in
the main village were saved those on
the opposite side of the river, near the
end of the bridge, took fire and were
threatened with destruction. All of the
fire apparatus was in the main village,
the bridge was destroyed and there
were no boats at hand. Accordingly
the best swimmers in the fire company
were selected to swim the river with
a line of hose. They accomplished the
feat and got across just in time to pre-
vent the destruction of $4,000 worth of
Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

A Successor of Newton.

Sir George Gabriel Stokes, who is till
he ~retires senior member for Cambridge
university, is one of the most distin-
guished mathematicians Of the day. He
is an old man in the seventies" below
the medium height, with snow white
hair and a very high forehead. Sir
George is president of the Royal society,
LII Office which was held by the famous
Sir Isaac Newton, who was also member
for the University Of Cambridge. These
two positions, which have never been
held by one individual since the time of
Newton, are now, after the lapse of up
ward of two centuries, happily combined
in Sir George.
To carry the analogy further, Newton
never once spoke in parliament, while
Sir George, although an assiduous sitter
out of debates, has during his five years
of parliamentary life addressed the
house on two OF three occasions only.
1t is not generally known that Sir George
Stokes is an Irishman. His father, a
distinguished graduate Of Trinity col
lege, was rector of Screen, about seven
miles from the town of Sligo.-London

Maternal Love of the Whale,

No other member of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if it's calf is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one with the
intention of killing it, for if this is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If
alive and struggling, however, the dam
can be easily enticed toward the boat to
meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike a calf if posi-
BILE, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under other cir
cumstanceS.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware of
the sharing of her young she rushes to-
ward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking it under her
fin. She seems to lose all regard for her
own safety, and boldly attacks the boat
containing the whalemen, or circles
about it totally regardless of the har-
poems that are hurled at her and enter
her fesh.-Detroit Free Press.

An Episode of Nebraska Life.


met a gentleman at the Union depot
the other night who had just returned
from kearney county. He said: "Itook
up a claim three weeks ago and built my
shanty with more care than is usually
taken with them. l built a bedstead of
boards In the corner and laid in a stock
of canned goods and dried meat. The
hrst night after it was completed /
crawled into bed and fell into a deep
sleep. About midnight I was awakened
by a half dozen rude jolts, some one
cracked a whip, yelled Git up! and l
stralghtway felt the motion Of a heavy
wagon. [ was but half awake, but I re-
allied that my bed was tipped to an
angle Of 45 dogs. and that everything
was moving. Irealized that my shanty,
supposed to be ~unoccupied, was being
stolen with me in it. I grasped my re-
volver and emptied it at the walls and
in answer heard the sound of scattering
feet. l crawled out of the small win

How the Natives Treat Gorillas.

Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as human
beings of inferior types, and it is for
this reason that for a long time it was
found impossible to get hold of an entire
gorilla skin, because the savages con-
sidered it religiously necessary to cut off
the hands and feet Of the animals when
they killed them, just as they do with
their enemies, possibly for the purpose of
rendering them harmless in case they
should by any chance come to life again.
