A CHILD DIES OF ALCOHOLISM.

Little James Halloran, who was only nine
years old, lived with his parents in Hoboken.
He went out with two companions to make
New Years calls and returned in the evening
SO intoxicated that he fell ON the floor half
unconscious. His mother and little sister
put him to bed and then went out to spend
the afternoon. When they came back, late
In the evening, they found James dead. He
had been seen staggering through the streets
with his companions several hours before he
went home, and there is little doubt that he
died of alcoholism.-Nes York Times.

An acid which exists In sour milk and cider, called
Tactic acid, is believed by physicians to be the cause
Of rheumatism. Accommodating in the blood, it at
taeks the fbrous tissues in the joints, and causes

neutraiize the acid, and to SO i~nvigorate the kidneys

MARY KYLE DALLAS. supply Oh loeas IN
From a sketch,l the school of fc-
ton as Mrs. Dallas. For nineteen years
was she under contract with Bonner, of
the New York Ledger, for the fruit of
her pen, and it is only of recent date
that she has been free to market her lit
erary wares elsewhere.
One can readily imagine, judging from
her face, that she has all these years
lived in a world Of her own, among
characters Of her own making, for she
has a rarely youthful expression which
strangely contradicts the crown of white
hair and blue eyes that smile at its early
coming. The ripest of full red lips frame
the pleasant smile that constantly plays
about her mouth. In the drawing room
of her home hangs a small oil painting,
not more than ten inches square, of the
face Of a sleeping child. The rosebud
mouth bears a strong resemblance to
Mrs. Dallas, who is the original Of the
picture, and the observer realizes how
rasa q thing it is that the matured lips
retain the softened outlines Of childhood.
MY pen and ink both have always been
my inspiration" said this untiring writer
TO me recently.
More, perhaps, than this is the fact that
Mrs. Dallas, in studying the characters
of her heroes and heroines, has not for
gotten to study the tastes OF her readers.
She writes for the masses. "As l have
grown Older" said she, sit is my i%nclina-
ton to take more of a pessimistic view
of life, but it won't do; publishers de-
mand stories that end we'll, and such /
must serve to them"
Mrs. Dallas is the eldest sister of a
large family, all talented in a literary
and artistic line. The father, who died
some years ago, wa an artist, and was
stricken down early in a career which
promised to be a very brilliant one, The
mother was a woman of marked literary
ability. Mrs. Dallas is growing old

uicalities of her art. She looks at tho
bright side of life in her paintings, at
the fun and frolic, as well as at graceful
forms and lovely faces,
Lately Nine. Lemaire has entered the
field of the pastelists, in which branch
of art, as all know. the artists of her
country are especially successful. Here,
too, her triumph has been sure and not
able. In the art world of today in Paris
Madeline Lemaire is one of the best
known and most popular names.

Charles Follen Adams holds a unique
place among literary men because he is,
first of all, a very active business man
and his exquisite bits of verse are writ
ten only in the intervals of work. Writ
ing poetry is, in short, a recreation to
him, like playing a musical instrument
or attending the theater is to other men.
He was born in Dorchester, Mass, April
81, 1912, and is a descendant Of Samuel
Adams, the noted patriot Of the revolu-
ton. He served with distinction in the
war for the Union, and is best known to
the general public by his decide Yacob

HARRYoT HoLT CAHooS.

The forty water color drawings for
the work THE Able Constantin," by
'Ludovic Halevy," which We're exhibit
ed in New York city and in Chicago,
have made the name of Madeline Le-
marie very well known in this country.
The artists full name is Nine. Jeanne
Madeline Lemaire. Before marriage
she was Madeline Coll, born in the south
OF France, at st. Rossoline, near Cannes.
Her aunt, Nine. Herbelin, an eminent
painter of miniatures. brought her up,
and so Madeline from her earliest years
lived in an art atmosphere. An artist
born, it may be she was fortunate IN be-
ing so early associated with artists. But
under any circumstances her powerful
artistic instinct could only have been de-
layed, not suppressed.
At a very tender age Madeline began
to draw, and those having her in charge
were most careful not to neglect these
signs of unusual talent. At the age of
nine she was sent to a drawing school,
and later to the studio of NJ. Chaplin
where she remained four years.
In 1865 she was fifteen years of age,
and she exhibited her first picture at the
Salon-a portrait in oil of her grand
father. The judges fully recognized the
talent displayed by this picture, but the
extreme youth of the artist prevented
them from giving her a prize. After
this she became almost q regular exhib-
itor at the Salon, for the first years send
ing works in oils, most of them portraits,
but some of creations of her w fancy
which foreshadowed the artists future
fame. All of them showed a sense of
beauty of form and color that fairly took
the public by surprise,
In all the works by this artist a lively
imagination is made visible that de-
lights while it never transgresses.-Mme.
Lemaire has an even ready fancy, a free
pencil, and perfect power over the tech

ton that the women of the United States
should themselves raise two hundred
thousand. Her power of organization
was largely instrumental in accomplish
ing this end. This is the second gift of
one hundred thousand given by Miss
Garrett to that institution.
As the daughter of M of the greatest
business men this country has ever pro-
duced Mary Garrett has honored her
birthright, and in her position of n OF
the richest women in this country she
honors her wealth by devoting her life to
charitable work, as she has done almost
exclusively for the past few years, though
few of her charities are known, and she
shrinks from the publicity given any be-
neyolence on her part.
Like the majority Of rich people who
are known to be of a charitable nature,
she has an enormous daily mail begging
for money or calling her attention to
some cause that needs assistance. 1t is
said of her that while she is not prone
to turn a deaf ear to want, she is still
strongly opposed to giving indiscrimi-
nately, and closely examines every call
on her bounty.
Miss Garrett is not a society woman
in any sense of the word, and it is only
when called upon by her townspeople to
take the lead that she opens her beauti-
full home in the conventional society
tanner. Such occasions are always III
honor of some celebrated person to whom
Baltimore society should make a demon
~stration of respect.
Miss Garrett visits Europe every year,
and spends most of her time on the
other side of the water. She owns a
controlling interest in the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and since the death of
her brother, Harrison, who was drowned
while sailing four years ago, she has also
looked after the Garrett stock belonging
to his widow and children.
Miss Garrett has a noticeably strong
face-not handsome, but better than
handsome. She bears a strong resem-
blance to her father about the mouth,
which expresses great hrmness and
strength Of character.
The stories so long rife about her be-
ing disappointed in love in her youth are
entirely without foundation. Early in
life, the congenial and beloved compan-
ion of her father, she tool, a strong in
terest in his affairs and soughtto tighten
his burdens by placing her strong young
shoulder to the wheel. He accordingly
educated her in his methods of business,
and thus fitted her for the position she
was in after years called upon to fill.
When, after his death and her brothers
illness, the road became involved, she
proved herself able TO give wise counsel.
Miss Garrett is upward of forty years
of age, but a life of well doing defies the
marks Of time, and she would pass for
ten years younger.

house which faces the great curve made

CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
Boston Nov o5 1891
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.


The duness of speculation was not relieved
to-day by antcipations of the National holiday
or the beginning of the fortnightly settlement in
London. The volume Of transactions was not
much less than it was yesterday however, ana
the fluctuations were about the same scale
Erie was the most active stock, but after an
advance Of I-2 FER cent it closed absolutely
without change. st. Paul. which was second
in activity, moved within the same limits and
closed 1-S per cent lower, while the other Granger
shares if changed at all, were slightly higher.
The coal stocks were rather heavy, and Reading
lost l-2 per cent, but Delaware and Hudson
closed at its highest price, with further gain
of 3-s per cent. Union Pacific was unusually
active at advancing prices, but the rally In II
was spent before noon. These instances fully
illustrate the complete apathy OF speculation.
Ihc stubborn confidence of holders OF railway
securities has often been proved lately, but the
course of the market to-day indicated that there
was no short interest which was not also supremacy
Indifferent. 1t had been expected that the set,
tlement at the London Stock Exchange would
develop large short interest, but the buying
for foreign account insignificant. There was
reported to be distinctly better feeling on the
Continental bonuses, and in London American rail-
way securities were strong, but BRUSH consols,
the pulse of public opinion IN England, were
heavy and lower.
After the close of business it was announced
that the first step had been taken toward reor-
ganization of the Richmond Terminal Company
The present management has consented to re-
election, while plan for the permanent adjust
ment of the cOmpaDys affairs is being formulated
by COMMITTEES of bankers, but there can hardly
be a successful reorganization which does not in
vOlve substantial change in the composition or
the board OF directors. The action taken by the
board is therefore equivalent to postponement
OF the general meeting until the committee has
prepared plan for the complete reconstruction
of the company. The task is not an easy one. Tor
it will he found an essential condition that the
excessive capitalization of the company shall be
reduced. 1t may even De necessary
that some parts of the system shall be Topped on.
II is q matter for cOngratulatlon, however, that
the work seems about to be begun.
IN THE BOND MARKET
There were again no transactions in Government
bonds at the Stock Exchange. The nominal bids
for the extended 1-2s were lowered per cent.
but the market was firm and bids Tor most OF
