Ella De Maison Tries to Commit Suicide
Twice.
Ella Des Maison. twenty-one years old,
OF No 56S Newark avenue, was weary of
life and beer yesterday, and while in a
lachrymose intoxicated condition in the
morning attempted twice to kill herself
She staggered down Grove street to the
Erie Railroad and waited until she saw a
train approaching and then she threw
herself "Kerhopn on the track. A prac-
tical switchman, who is not in the angel
manufacturing business, seized Ella by
the shoulders and DIR gged her away.
Then he said he ought to be damned
for having done this deed. Half an hour
later he said the same thing again, for
Ella more drunk and more fearful
than ever, again prostrated her 1abby
figure on the track. The engineer saw
the action and he stopped the train few
feet from Ella. The switchman and q
couple of more men dragged the woman
from the track, handed her over to po-
licemaa and she was locked up.
This moTning Justice Stilsing sent her
to Snake Hill for thirty days.

wretch mad the girl on the floor and had
his hand over her mouth.
When Westhoff saw that he had been
discovered he tried to make his escape.

could scarcely control themselves and
wanted TO hang the trembling wretch to
the nearest lamppost.
A messenger was sent to the police

BARBARiC WAR IN CHILL.

Murder of a Wounded Prisoner-Rebels
said to Have Decoyed Their Opponents
BY a Flag of Truce.
LONDON, March 6.-The Times dis
patches from Santiago give an official
version of the recent battle in Chilli.
From this 1t appears that Col. Robeles,
who commanded the government troops
on the 9th inst, being short of pro-
visions, rashly abandoned Il strong posi-
ton on Mount Sebastopole, and with
1900 infantry, twenty-five cavalry and
n few guns attacked a force of $500
rebels.
AT a critical moment the enemy by "a
decoy truce for a parley opened fire ut
close range, killing and wounding two
thirds of the government troops. Col.
Robeles was shot in the foot carly in
the battle, He secured another mount
after the bullet had been extracted
from his wound, but he was again
wounded in the side and wal placed in
an ambulance. The rebels captured
the ambulance and their leader threat
ened to shoot all who were with the
wounded man unless Col. Robeles wa
indicated to him
al oSsShhoiio pciiieC'i ANODGiCS,
whereupon the colonel was fired at by
the rebels and riddled with eleven balls
besides being hacked with bayonets.
A general massacre of wounded Off
GERS ensued. OF the wounded men 284
were allowed to proceed to Valparaiso,
but permission was refused t o send the
body of Col. Robeles there.
The loss of the insurgents is estimated
at 800 killed and 400 wounded. No uc-
count of the battle can be procured at
present.
President Balmaceda admits the gray
ity of the disaster, which places the
province of Tarapaca entirely in the
hands Of the insurgents. He says, how
ever, that the government has 80, 600
troops at it's disposal and has an ample
supply OF funds. The future operations
will probably be nearer Valparaiso.

DUBLIN, March 16.-At an anti-Par-
nellite meeting at Newry yesterday
there was a scene of great disorder, the
Parnellites turning out in strong force
and doing their utmost to break up the
meeting. About 5000 persons were
present. The disorder began when n
series of resolutions denouncing Parnell
In the strongest terms was put to the
the meeting. These were received
by the Parnell men with boots
and groans and lively per-
sonal encounters between opponents
and supporters of Parnell took place in
every direction. The police were fire.

In the parish church at Michelstown
Father Sexton said that the next cleo
ton would probably result in the re-

every effort should be made to elect q

A Parnellite meeting was held at Mid
dleton, county Cork. 1t was sparsely
attended. Messrs. Harrington and
Clancy were unable to obtain a hearing
when they attempted to speak, and the
police had to be called on to suppress a
free fight.
Mr.. Parnell spoke in Galway in his
usual strain.
Father McOshar, administrator of the
primate, preaching ut Armagh. said
that he had advised the primate to re-

nell, but that If the latter persisted in
his present course the sacrament would
be refused to his adherents.

Fowls for Economy.
Poultry World.


When II housekecper throws N
the table scraps, the bits Of vegetab
left after dressing them for cooking, OF
permits servants to sell these things
for II mere t%rifie, such n practice is not
true economy, and does not accord with
the teachings of ssPoor Richard.''
Many u swill bucket is taken away
from the kitchen laden with welcome
nutriment for fowls or swine, and ''good
radiance is said as it disappears from
the premises. If II machine could be
invented, and this garbage put through
by turning Il crank, and come in the
shape of those invaluable articles called
fresh eggs, many families would pur-
chase one, and keep it running from
day to day. Bits of fat and lean, crusts
and crumbs of bread and cake, rem
nauts of pie, potato peclings, things
burnt in the over by neglect, or under
done by II careless cook, all are pushed
into Il receptacle, the swill-bucket, and
this becomes II nuisance if not often
removed and cleaned. In some fami-
lies, % wealthy, there is, in this mat
l'i . u i'DslllNf iSlt ltlsll II Iltl tNtllNsl-
bic. The homely sayings of Ben
Franklin are not taken into account.
The ''poor mans wife" acts as though
she had Il rich husband. So~oth-saycrs
sometimes examine tea and coffee
grounds To divine the fortunes of ::
family. One who is not Il fortune
teller may find out something in this
direction by only taking a peep into
the swill-bucket.
And here comes an opportunity for
giving some good advice. Inasmuch
Us no machine, made of iron or wood,
will over be invented to turn this ma
tcrial into eggs, even with the help of
electricity, il does behoovc every thrifty
housewife, when oom can be found for
them, 10 keep 4 few fowls. They will
eat all these scraps, even the whit
leather and bones, if reduced To suita-
BILE condition for them to swallow. This
food, with II small quantity of grain
IS stimulating enough to cause laying,
and thus comes the fresh cgg. The
care of II small flock of fowls may be
also Il pleasure. II compels a little ex-
erciSe ont of doors, and this is just what
many Il busy housewife needs but fails
to secure. Then, if there are children
in the family, they learn some valuable
lessons in natural history, and never
fail to be interested in the clean new
eggs, the peeping chicks, or the broiied,
fried, stcwed or roasted chicken, rs
these ~luXuries come upon the table.
Cast thy kitchen scraps before poultry;
not before swine. Thus will be OBJ
tanned the greatest return.

asked her. AS she got older there were
days when she was IL little sharp, but
for the most part auntie was Il sun
beam-just the one for Christmas eve.
She knew better than any n else how
to fix things. Her every prayer, as God
heard it, was full OF everybody who
had trouble.
The brightest things in all the house
dropped from her fingers, She hud pc
culiar notions, but the grandcst notion
she ever had vas to make you happy.
She dressed welI--auntie always

ment was that of a meek and quiet
spirit, which in the sight of God is of
great price. When she died you all
gathered lovingly about her, and as you
carried her out to rest the Sunday
school class almost covered the coffin
with japonicas and the poor people
stood at the end of the alley with their
aprons to their eyes, sobbing bitterly,

out clash gemmed hands. Dancing feet
respond to dancing feet. Cleaning
brow bends to cleaning brow. On with
the dance! Flash and rustic and laugher
and immeasurble merry-making! But
the languor of death comes over the
limbs and blurs' the sight. Lights

echo. Music saddens into u wall.
Lights lower! The maskers can hardly

Signs seem caught among the curtains.
Scarf falls from the shoulder of beauty
