ONE WOMAN'S WEAKNESS.
just Like . Man, Jennie O,Donuell Was
Drunk and Fought.

Mrs. Jennie O'Donnell made another
sensation for the town yesterday. She
is now in Jail on the charge of being
drunk, and will answer to that charge
this morning in police court.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
ODonnell went to the office of the
county clerk to execute some papers
requiring the wlfc's signature. At the
last moment the wife fatty refused to
carry out the arrangement, and became
SO abusive and violent that the husband
felt constrained to take his wife out of
the building. He succeed, but not
without difficulty, and all the way
down Lyon-st. the contention was con-
tinued. At last Jennie threw herself
upon the sidewalk and it required
several strong men to place her in the
patrol wagon. She was taken to iail
and was detained there over night.
Mrs. ODonnell is woman of remark
able physical development. and her
besettlng sin is the one that has now
landed her IN jail. She has been in
police court many times and once es-
capped from the inebrlate asylum in
Detroit.

CAN YOU HELP THEMp
An Appeal for Aid for the Familis s of
Dead Miners


Dead Miners
Rev. W. Charles Wilson, rector of the
Episcopal Church at Springhill Mines,
y. 5, the scene of the late mine horror,
IS sending out appeals for help. lie de-
plores the lack OF hospital accommoda-
tons in vicinity where it is so much
needed. and asks the churches and
sunday schools to give as they are able
toward the establishment of cottage
hospital. The following is the appeal:
"The recent appalling collierv disas-
ter at Sprnghill Mines, in which l23
souls were suddenly called To meet their
God, has dealt 4 dreadful blow TO the
English Church congregation AT Spring
hill. Twenty-eight churehmen were
killed. Twelve widows and about forty
orphans nave been bequeathed 10 our
congregation by this calamity. In these
church households, three members
from each house were carried 10 the
church and 10 the grave. The sounds
and sights of woe have overwhelmed
us. For three long years have we APP
pealed TO the household of faItn' for
help to build hospital and church for
our miners. We had hoped to have be-
gun building operations this year. but
this sudden blow has stunned us and
killed local aid. Weimplore our breth-
rem TO literally help us, IN our distress,
to erect the church and hospital, and
10 strengthen our work for Christ in
these districts of danger. Contributions
may ne sent to the editor of The Living
Church, l62 Westinghouse, Chicago,

Queer Ways Of Old Time Boston.

from the Boston courier.
Visiting in Boston seems in old times to have
been attended with some difficulties, and il the
differences which one would naturally draw
from certain entries in the old records are cor
rect the authorities Of the town were not &C
customed to be over-given to the encourage
ment of hospitality. whatever may have been
the case with individuals. For a meeting of
the selectmen of the town held on November
10, 1740, for instance, the record begins as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Rebekah Young, Appearing. Informs
that She with One Child is lately come into tSIls
Town. from Harwich, to Visit her Sister. that
she intends to return in the Spring, q that she
hath brought with her to the Value of Two
Hundred Pounds in Money and Household
Goods.
Liberty IL Granted her to tarry until the
Spring and then to return TO Harwich with her
Child or give Security to Indemnify the Town :"
The good folk of Boston were in a perpetual
panic in those days lest they should get upon
their hands to take care of paupers that really
belonged to some other Community and il ia
very likely that they had good reason for their
fear and their precautions. One would sup-
pose, however, that q woman who could bring
with her Q couple of hundred pounds in pold
and gear might be Of sufficient Importance 10
be spared the formality of appearing before
the selectmen OF the town. 1t would be inter-
esting to know how small an amount of belong
ings would have admitted her TO the privilege
OF passing the winter with her sister.

The Parrots Happy Hit.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Mrs. Nj. T., a well-known lady Of this city
owns parrot known as Markoe, Of which an
amusing story is told, says q Norfolk CORE
spondent Mrs. 7. bought the bird q year or
two ago from a sailor. whose pet be had been
for several voyages, and shortly after purchase
ing him became aware that Markoe had shared
the conyiyial tastes Of his first owner, and had
a decided weakness for wine and even some
thing stronger. She endeavored TO break the
parrot of the habit by allowing him TO have No
stimulants. but Markoe, when under their in
huence, WAS SO clever and amusing that visit
ors often begged 10 give him a glass Of wine for
the pleasure of hearing him talk The servants
often entertained themselves by making him
drunk on beer. &c, 70 that Markoe was very
often intoxicated in spite Of his mistress dis
approval.
On one occasion he had had some cham
payne from the lady's nephew and was very
hilarious when she said TO him: "Youfe
drunk, sir, and had better 60 away. I don't
want to see you till you re over it," Upon this
he SUNK away and hid himself, feeling he was
in disgrace, and also 10 sleep il of. In a short
while gentleman coming 10 call on Mrs. It.
was ushered into the room in which Markos
lay concealed. Presently the visitor heard Q
severe, displeased voice saying: you're
drunk, sir, and had better go away. don't
want TO see you till you re over IL" He caught
mp his hat and was in the act af rushing from
the room when Mrs. I. entered il. SO he only
made her hasty bow and left the house. The
lady had heard her words to the parrot re-
peated, and, understanding that the caller had
mistaken the voice for hers, was overwhelmed
with dismay at what the gentleman must have
thought Of her discourteous and outrageous
assertion, or, rather, accusation. She looked
for and soon discovered Markoe under the folds
OF portiere which hung across the door by
which she had entered the room.
She was about then TO write Q note
10 her friend apologizing for the occurrence
and explaining it to HIM, though she feared
he would scarcely credit the story, when 20 her
amazement a servant brought her a note from
the gentleman she writing TO, in which he
stated that he acknowledged with humility that
he had perhaps taken too much wine with his
dinner, but he hoped in calling on her that she
would not have detected IL. Al she had done
So however, he offered his most abject apollo
gies and prayer for forgiveness.
Mrs. 7. declares she never told the story,
but it leaked out in some unaccountable wsy,
being really too good 10 be lost and it 10 con-
sidered rather dangerous TO mention parrots
to the gentleman in question.

Business Hypnotism.

From the Philadelphia Press.
few weeks ago q well-known Philadelphian
was travelling through Georgia in an exceed
ingly slow train. There were only two other
passengers in that car. and with one of these
the Quaker city man engaged in conversation.
After a while they got to talking about mind
reading, and Mr.. Blanks Of Philadelphia ex-
pressed his disbelief in anything of the kind.
''Maybe you don't take any stock in hypno-
tism. either?" suggested the young man.
Mr.. Blanke didn't.
'well," continued the other, 81 am an expert

Without wasting an instant he seized him

of an open window: Suddenly the hypnotizer
cried ''Right" at the same time clapping his
