EMERALp-T1NTEp HAIR
Beautiful Emigrant From Ireland Ore"
ntea a ScnantInn Mt the Rnrce Ohlce.

a Beautiful Emigrant From Ireland Gree
ates a Sensation mt the Barge Ohlce'
Miss Emily Maud Higgins, from Ire
land, bound to No. f24 East Thirty
Fifth street. New York, landed at the
Barge Office Friday from the steamer
Britannia, and in ten minutes made
reputation as one OF the most
beautiful women that ever passed
through that office. Miss Maud is twenty
one years old, and was born amid the
green hills and blue lakes Of Killarney.
The tints Of Killarney's lakes are in her
eyes, and the bright colors of the emer-
aid shine in her hair, for Miss Maud
has what may be actually and proper
ly called green hair, the possession
of which is supposed to insure the
owner health, beauty and wealth.
When Miss Higgins hair is called
green, it must be understood that it is
not bright, vivid green, but sheeny,
emerald tint, such as the sea takes on
under the shadow of overhanging cliffs
where the color comes up from the
depths. As the arrival of the green
haired girl became noised around, quite
crowd gathered to see her pass through
the registry department In height
the young woman stands five
feet, five or six inches, and
she has a magnificent figure. Her
features are exquisite in color and reg
ular in shape, and her voice is exceed
ingly low and sweet, and she talks in
the soft but refined brogue of we'll
bred Irish girl. AS she passed along
the hum of admiration was emphasized,
and one of the Irish immigrant women
held up her little baby that the child
might touch the green hair and be sue
cessful in life.

FIGHTING FARMERS.
Sheriff Routed and an Armful of Mort
cages Torn to Pieces.

A Sheriff Routed and an Armful of Mort
cages Torn to Pieces.
An attorney for the johnson Loan and
Trust Company, of Arkansas City, and
Sheriff Dobson, of Harper County,
Kan, had an experience which confirms
the belief that the Farmers Alliance
intends preventing, by force if neces-
sary, all foreclosure sale of farms.
The Loan Company holds judg-
ments against farms in the west
ern part of Harper County
in the sum of nearly $50, 200, and, armed
with orders of sale, the officer and attor-
ney Saturday proceeded to offer the
property at auction. No sooner was
their purpose understood than some
twenty irate farmers tore the paper
from their hands, and, with angry threats
of violence, ordered them from the neigh
borhood. Not being ready for fight,
the sheriff desisted, but proposes to re-
turn on Monday with force sufficient
to guarantee the sale and the arrest of
the ringleaders in Saturdays attack.
About three weeks ago a similar case
was reported from Kingman County,
and it seems evident that the farmers
who are instructed from headquarters
are banded together to hold their lands
at any cost.
