CUPID PLAYED A TRICK.

a Wife Won From the West by a Decep-
tive Photograph.
When woman who has weathered fifty
winters travels 1900 miles with S3l,O0 in
her pocket TO wed penniless man whom
she never saw. it is ili-jasting to say that
marriage is a failure. Such a woman is
Mrs. Lena Bennett, who travelled from
Hillsdale, Mich, to Wilmington, Del, to
marry Charles i. CleawOrth, a machinist,
ana marry him She did at Camden.
About two months ago Mrs. Cleaworth,
who has already buried two husbands, put
a tempting offer in metropolitan paper.
1t fell under the eyes of Charles b. Clea-
worth, and correspondence followed Pho
tographs were exchanged, but the groom
to-be was not pleased with his own physlUg-
nomy, and he transported the likeness OF an
Adonis friend. The latter maHeuver bound
the match, and the wealthy widow arriv ed
in the chief city OF the Diamond State. She
registered at the Western Hotel, Fourth and
Orange streets, and learned that the object
Of her journey was at Work at Trump Broth
ers' machine-shops.
When the pair first met at the hotel there
were not the expected embraces, for tine lady
could not see in Cleaworth any resemblance
to the picture. No amount Of persuasion
could make the coy widow believe that the
pieader for her hand was the bOna-fide cor
respondent until CleawOrth admitted that
he had sent friends photograph instead
Of his own. So deceived was the rich wife
of two previous husbands that she began TO
pout; but the sympathetic actions OF the
prospective third protector won her over,
and she actually said that she was willing to
have the ceremony performed if he was in
clined likewise. The next day the marriage
was solemnized in Camben, n. j., aud a
brief honeymoon at Atlantic City followed
The wife has deposited the S31, 900 in bank,
and this will keep the couple in comparative
splendor, for they are easy-going people.
Both husband and wife are gray-baired, but
they say age is no barrier to their romantic
happness.-Philadelp phia Record.

BLIND, DEAF AND DUMB,
Yet Richard Clinton Has Acquired
4

Yet Richard Clinton Has Acquired an
Education and q Trade.
One of the most remarkable inmates of
the New York Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb is Richard Clinton, who, though deaf
dumb and blind has in the fourteen years
he has spent in the asylum acquired an edu-
cation and a self-srppOrtng trade. He was
born in Dublin with the senses of sight and
hearing perfect. One eye was destroyed in
childhood by an explosion and an attack of
scarlet fever cost him the other eye and his
hearing.
He was for a time in n school for deaf
mutes in Ireland, but il was not until he en-
tered the New York institution that he de-
rived benefit from the instruction given
him. Hero lie has been taught the ordinary
branches of education and has acquired the
trade of bottoming chairs He learned to
write by using rule TO guide his hand. OF
late be has learned to use the typewriter
and has discarded the pen.
Clinton uses the sign language IN con-
versation and reads the replies of his COM
pani0ns by touching their hands. His touch
is abnOrmally sensitive, as is often the case
with the blind. By touching the hand of a
friend he recognizes the person, and he re-
calls an old acquaintance from whom he has
been long separated by feeling his face,
hands ana form.
The other boys in the institution treat
Clinton in their play as roughly as if he had
sight. He never resents such treatment.
He is only angered when he is pitied. When
he is pushed, he recognizes the persons at
tacking him by the manner in which they
touch him. Many tricks have been played
upon him, but it rarely happens that he gets
caught twice by the same trick.-The World.

A W0MAN'S CRIME.
Extraordinary Attempt at Murde
Brought to Light in Paris.

Extraordinary Attempt at Murder
Brought to Light in Paris.
An extraordinary crime has just been
brought to light here by the arrest of a
woman and her father, charged with the
attempted murder of the woman's husband
by pouring melted lead into his ears.
The intended victim was a cab driver
named Lombard, and the crime was due to
his wife's desire to rid herself of him in
order to become possessed of certain prop
ertv belonging to him.
The couple had been married about two
years, when Lombard was suddenly at
tackled with a mysterious Illness, accom-
panied by symptoms of poisoning. Lom-
bard had no suspicion of his wife. however,
until one evening when he lay in bed
asleep, he was aroused by terrible pain
In his right ear, aud found his wife stand
Ing by the bed side.
The woman showed herself entirely indif-
ferent tn his intense suffering and lett the
room, locking the door behind her. The
unfortunate man remained there five hours
before he was released and allowed to visit
q physician, who found L0mbard's ear
seriously burned by the hot Lead, globule
OF which still remained there.
A search of Lombard's house afterward
disclosed an alcohol lamp and ladle which
the conspirators had used in melting the
lead. Information was given to the police
and arrests speedily follOwed.-Paris spe-

Speculations Regarding the Great Con-
tests of the Future.
No one knows what will be the outcome
Of the next great collision of the navies, and
it is possible that doubt will not be an
swered in the remaining years of the nine
teenth century. Much has been written
picturing forth the details of that great
combat. In the way of romance Stockton
has written his "Great Syndicate War"
and hardly less fanciful but confined to the
actual forces is the recent book by an En-
glish officer describing How We Fought
the Ba tte." The changes IN the conditions
are too numerous to recall in the pre-
liminary survey. Since the days of Trafal-
gar steam has taken the place of
sails. The guns are worked mechanically.
A single shot will do the deadly work of
former br0adsde. The old pictures repre-
senting the band-tO-hand conflict when
ships were grappled, can never be painted
again In the times to come, for the rapid fire
guns would annihilate the bravest body of
tars before it could tread hostile deck. No
wooden hulks will be seen floating half
sunk in the sea and half seen in the murk
of powder, with men clinging To the scat
tered spars and hatchways. Vessels of
iron have q terrible alacrity in sinking, and
the ram crushing into the sides of a ship
has a merci,eSs power. In fact, even the
defensive features of this new warfare have
elements of terror. The sums that have
been spent on these untried navies are en-
ormous. OF course their destructive posi-
bilities are amazing.
1t is not settled matter that small boat,
not much larger than harbOr tug, armed
like tho Vesuvius with dynamite guns. could
annihilate the most formidable armorPd
vessel afloat; but such result is the aim of
all experiments with high explosives. 1t is
almost useless TO speculate on the uses to
which the pneumatic principle of firing may
be put. OF course, it will not be confined
to the special boats like the Vesuvus. 1t
will. however, in all probability, be years
before high explosive is found that can be
fired safely from an ordinary gun with the
charge of powder commonly used; while
compressed air offers distinct merits and
conYenien es.-EngineeTing Magazine.

BALDWIN HOTEL.
The Judge Had No More to Saw.

A subscriber writes to the Baltimore Sun
as follows: The paragraph in the Sun en-
titled "Must Wear Coats" reminds one of
that famous lawyer and wit, Pettigrew, who
graced the bar of South Carolina many
years ago. A Judge had issued an order
that all attorneys appearing in his court
should wear "black coat and trousers"
His Honor, with Irowning visage, aecosted
him:
''Mr. Pettigrew, do you know, sir, that
you are transgressing most positive order
of this court?"
'In what way, may it please your
Honor?
"The order says you shall wear black coat
and trousers" yelled the Judge.
II have on black coat and trousers" re-
piled the wit
But" roared the Judge, 'the order means
black coat and black trousers
~ don't read it so." replied Pettigrew.
1T also says the Sergeant-at- Arms should
wear a cooked hat and sword. / see the
cooked hat, but 1 don't see any cooked
sword"
