known Feminine Folly.


known Feminine Folly.
Warden Aull of Folsom Prison is a
wise man. When afoolish girl tried
10 open a correspondence with Harry
Gordon, who helped to murder Robert
Allen in Sacramento, Mr. Auli
promptly repulsed her. He did
even better. He communicated the
fact Of the girls folly to the newspa-
pers, but kindly withheld her name.
The silly girl will by this time have
heard en- ough comments on her maud
lin sympathy for the murderer to d.
vest her mind of the crank she sought
to indulge, il she is durable.
She is a member of the Sacramento
Florence mission and had visited Cor
don in Jail, given him flowers and 're-
ligious consolation"
A ruffian with q fair education and
an honest income sufficient to support
him in respectable style without work,
who will steal or rob, is beyond and
beneath religious consolation. Gordon
coulo earn $7a n month by simply be.
having decently, but even that tempta-
ton was not sufficient to earn his good
conduct. His inclination to vice. which
was too strong for the material induce
ment, could not be restrained by silly
girl offering religious consolation.
Sacramento has recently had one
strong and sad illustration of the folly
of wasting religious sentiment upon q
murderer, says a local authority. The
infatuated girl should search out the
poor old we man who spent her fortune
in mistaken mission of reforming a
murderer She should ask the i'm
poyerished victim of misguided philan-
thropy to relate her experience, and
having heard the story she should
go home and try, by engaging in use
ful industry, to rid her mind of such
decisions as have made the name OF
Nina Van Zandt worldwide reproach
to womanhood. " hen woman
mania has run SO far as to follow a
murderer through his conviction it is
hard to dislodge, but If Warden Aull's
blow does not relieve the Sacramento
girl her case is hopeless, and she
should be put under strict guardian
ship.

Military Governor of Paris mo sine
cure) since 1884, and Vice-President
Of the Council of War.
His campaigns in Algeria. the
Crimea, Italy, Mexico, and with the
army of the Rhine, have always won
him honor. He has been wounded
many times, and mentioned in the
orders of the day for conspicuous
bravery.
1t was General Saussier who, when
the traitor Bazaine was about to de-
liver Metz to the enemy, sent to his
superior officers an eloquent protest
against the surrender OF an army
which had not been beaten by the
enemy. The officers of his regiment
united with him in this protest. In
captivity he refused to be separated
from the ordinary soldiers. He escaped
from the citadel Of Grandenz ip Ger
many, made his way to france, and
commanded division before the war
was over. @
Gen. de Mouton de Boisdeffrc Is a
handsome man Of fifty one, elegant,

He was a Brigade-General at forty
eight, was with Chanzy through the
Franco German war; penetrated to
Paris, after the battle of Sedan, and
left by ballon in mid-winter to ioin
his chief, from whom he said nothing
but death should seperate him. He
was for time chiefof-staf of the
Sixth Corps under Miribel. who there
learned to appreciate his value.
General Marquis de Galliffet who
commanded the army of the West in
the grand maneuvres just finished,
has a romantic career pretty well
known to every body. Rich, elegant,

Gen. de Galliffet was one of the few
aristocratic soldiers who was fond of
Gambetta, and who is never tired of
singing the praises of that departed
great man.
The Duke Of Auerstadt is we'll

the army Of the East. He has been in
every French campaign since 1S4S and
is great military reformer. He is

killed a fellow-pupil in duel, for
which offence he served as q common

designated already as the successor of
Gen. Saussier.
When the Province of Oran, in AL

In these moments when Europe Is
racked with rumors of approaching
war, It will be found interesting to
glance ut some of the military notables
of the Continent, and especially at
those of France.
The third Republic has had one hun
dred and sixty thousand men rehears-
ing few days ago at war along the
eastern confines of Germany, and IN
these operations nearly NIL her generals
Of distinction a engaged.
Prominent among them is General
Saussier, who was chosen some
time ago by his peers to act
as generalissimo in case OF
foreign war. The government accept
ed the decision of the generals, and
Saussier has heavy responsibility.
He is a good-loolSing man of sixty
three. bald, with thoughtful brow
and penetrating gaze, perfect health
and excellent humor. He does not
pretend to be Moltke, but is thought
to have matured some plans which
will give the Germans trouble in case
Of hostilities. lie wears the mill
tary mustache and the imperial;
is fond of braided jackets, jack-boots,
and military glitter Many think him
far better in his study than In the
field, and will consider their Judgment
confirmed by the fact that in the east
ern maneuvres he has iust allowed
himself to be surprised and hemmed
in by the forces representing the
enemy's cavalry. This has caused
quite CONSERVATION, and may be the
means OF promotion for some general
who is at once smart at planning
strategy and in the field.
General Snussier was born at Troyes
in 1928. He was Saint Syrian, be.
came an officer of infantry, and at the
age of fifty was Division-General.
He is exceptionally fortunate in hav-
ing won the military medal, such as is
given to common soldiers for distin-
guished bravery in the field; and he
wears 1t even when in gala uniform,
side by side with his grand cross of
the Legion of Honor. He has been

Lawn Tennis.

Lawn tennis continues to decline In
popularity among Englishwomen.
The fact Is that the game, among ex-
perts, Is now played at so furious q
rate that it is more like hsrd work than
play. When 1t was introduced ut first
it was carried on in q very leisurely
fashion. without serious disarrange-
ment OF costume or overheating OF the
person, both serious evils to the fem
mime performer OF the less enthusiasts
tic kind. The game, moreover, has
become so scientific that the casual
player has no chance OF distinction;
and. as no young woman Is ever will
ing to be seen at a disadvantage, 1t
naturally follows that the experts
have the field almost entirely to them
selves, and that the crop OF rising
players OF the softer sex Is growing
smaller every year.

How To Swim.

have devoted my life to the
problem of swimming, and am ego
tistical enough to think that | can
give some points as to the best meth
DDS of swimming, writes Gus Sund-
strom in the New York Express.
One of the most important strokes,
either in fancy swimming or rae
ing, is the American overland side
stroke, which l invented. 1t is re-
ally the fastest stroke that can be
used. 1t is quite different from the
English overland stroke, and in
the difference lies the secret Of the
additional speed that is obtained.
English swimmers bury themselves
deeply in the water and sink from
one to two yards under the surface
in bringing the hand over, which
retards their progress through the
water.
To use my stroke, lie in the water
on the right side at an angle of
about 80 degrees. The water cov-
ers the right eye, while the left eye,
the nose and the mouth are out of
the water. The body is propelled
through the water by the legs and
feet, and in this stroke the ankles
are strongly brought into use.
The force is obtained from the
instep OF the right foot and the sole
of the left. The legs are brought up
and placed in position like the let
ter V. and when the kick is made
they are brought quickly together,
the right foot being twisted to bring
the instep against the wate2. After
the kick is made, and IHhile the
| legs are being brooght/up again,
the right hand, which is extended
beyond the head like cut-water,
is brought down to the hip. When
this hand is going up again the left
hand is carried over the head and
right shoulder, dipped into the wa
ter and used as paddle. The right
arm is used to steady the body, and
force is attained by the left arm
and the legs. When the left arm is
coming down the kick is made La
learning this stroke, first of all learn
the motions; speed can be worked
up afterward. From thirty-eight to
| forty-fve strokes a minute is high
rate of speed to be attained.

An Old Timer.

Col. x was South Carolinlan,
whose capacity in pints was greater
than his ability in dollars. For
wears he had been in the daily habit
of visiting the little village store
and going directly to the jug that
held the whisky and drinking llb-
eral portion without the preliml-
nary of pouring it into a glass. One
day the storekeeper turned just IN
time to see the Colonel replacing
the jug from which he had taken
his customary deep draught. he
grew white and stiff, for the jug had
in some way become displaced, and
the one which the Colonel had
calmly set back was one which held
the village supply Of sulphuric acid.
The Colonel walked out Of the store
without remark, and the storekeeper
waited in terror to hear the horrible
news of his death. None came and
the etorekeeper marveled much;
But the next morning, at his usual
hour, in walked the Colonel, rosy
and cheerful as ever. "Mornln

age on Kinzie street, near Canal.
Her husband was known as "Micky''
Burns to all the river men, ships
crews and stevedores in the port of
Chicago. "Micky's" junk shop was
favorite place, and had reputa-
ton that reached to every port on
the inland lakes. He bought some
land on the river near Kinzie and
Canal streets. The Northwestern
road laid it tracks over the river to
it's depot on the North side, and it
happened that they extended four
inches on "Micky's" land. There
was talk of condemnation, but as
the house was not in the way they
were unsuccessful.
Then the fun began. About four
times a year the railroad company
got bills of damages from s'Micky'
for the plaster that was regularly
shaken off his ceilings by the pass
ing of the trains. They were con-
temptuously rejected and the owner
finally started to retaliate. He
painted his house occasionally and
when he did so, or wanted to drive
nail over a second-story window,
he waited until it was time for a
train to pass, when he carefully
placed the foot of his ladder over
one of the tracks, just within his
own property, and crawled up the
rounds. The train came, but the
engineer did not dare to knock
"Micky" down, as he knew the man
had perfect right to do what he
pleased on his own premises. So
"Micky" sat there for hours, ham
mering away or swiping a clapboard
with a paint brush. No entreaties
would bring him down and the
whole system of the Chicago and
Northwestern was blocked. Several
times he climbed upon the ridge
pole of his house with a shotgun
and threatened to shoot the first
engineer that drove an engine over
his ground. It took good share
of Chicago's police force in those
days to get him down.
A few years ago "Micky" died
and his widow, Bridget, did not
keep up the hostilities and at last
was compelled to sell her house
But she got good price for it.
