LONDON, March 14.-The PdR-1fdl Gazette
this evening says that ut has rained Irish
manifestoes during the past few months:
There never was greater meteorological
curiosity than the last manifesto. That
is a tactful phrase addressed to the physi-
cal force gallery about O moro energetic
even though last effort to win by consti-
tutional means. But the most delicious
touch is the tone pervsding the whole az
of a monarch by divine right proposing to
purge the majority which deposed him OF

The 81. James Gazette is of the opinion
that eff the line Mr.. Parnel has taken
does not answer the game in America il
| rp."
The Star says that "if tho Americans
swallow that (Mr. Parnelps manifesto.
they will swallow anything"
The Globe states that the side will pros.
per best whose missionaries keep ahead
and pick pockets before their competitor
arrive. so If Dir. Parnell has reduced adj
mission TO his ranks to those possessing
| absolutely purity, integrity, and honor hi
| has put himself at disadvantage"

saws to-day that Mr.. Parnelps manifesto 1:

TIE PUNISHMENT OF THE AssAssISs.

The feeling grew strong that for self
preservation the people must assume the
authority which they had delegated to the
courts, and which the courts were power
less to enforce. This feeling increased
this morning at 10 o'clock. This uprising
of the people to secure the punishment OF
the assassins who struck down their chief
of police in the nighttime with premedi-
tated assassination was orderly, and the
people dispersed quietly as soon as their
work of yindication was done.

NEW ORLEANS. La, March 14.-The lead
ers in to.day's movement, representing the
best citizens, held q secret meeting to-
night and discussed the occurrences OF the
day and the action to be taken in the
future. II was decided that there should
be no more bloodshed, but that the men
who have not yet been tried for the muir
der, as well as those who suborned the WIT
nesses and the jury, shall be vigorously
prosecuted before the courts Of the city.
Juror Seligman was ut the Northeastern
depot this evening, preparing TO leave the
Exchange, the Young Mems Gymnastio
Association, and the Harmony Club, and
discharged from his firm by his own bro
Their, and was naturally very much fright
ened. A number Of citizens placed him IN
der arrest and carried him to tho Fifth pre-
cinct station. subsequently Chief Goster
was telephoned to. He said he had no
warrant for the arrest OF Seligman, and he
was therefore released.

A FORMER sIcnIAN LESSON.

To-day's troubles recall "reminiscences
of prior crusade against Sicilians. In
1856 there was q Silician political club in
existence here and it attempted to inter.
fere with the politics of the day. In the
contest between the Democrats and native
Americans. known as the know-Nothing
party, the Sicilians were suddenly taught
a severe lesson and very soon became ap-
prised Of the fact that the native Ameri-
can party would not tolerate their interfe-
renee. The foreigners had at that time or
gained downtown and attempted to con-
troll that section of tho city. Because of
their numerical strength they prided
themselves that they would be successful,
but they soon found themselves deceived.
There were frequent rows between the
two parties. and one night during an cleo
tion the Sicilians attempted to take posses
sion of the polls. A not followed and ten
or fifteen of them were either shot or
thrown into the river. The event had a
wholesome effect; it kept them quiet till

Fame All ut Once.

The Book Buyer prints portrait OF
Mary e. Wilkins, whose name, if not
literally in every ones mouth, is in
every newspapers literary column these
days. What meteor flash fame is, and
how impossible to guess when and where
it is going to strike. Miss Wilkins has
been writing stories for six or eight
years, every whit as bright and natural
and lifelike as those she is writing to-
day. They were published in the Har-
pers' and other leading publications, but
the writer was in no sense famous until
all at once the hour struck and fame was
hers. No longer ago than last spring a
query was sent from this Office to the
head of literary syndicate which is sup
posed to have knowledge of every writer
of any note in England and America,
asking the address of Mary f. Wilkins.
The answer came promptly back, eve
never heard of her." They have heard
of her now ,however.-Springfield Mass }

Where Women Improve.

Nothing is more gratifying than the
progress women are making in extern
pore speaking. Even in Sorosis the
ladies five years ago could speak moth
ing like as well as they do now. Often
they use no notes whatever. The way
to learn extempore speaking is to be-
gin and preach your speech over in
your mind beforehand, thinking it out
carefully, but not writing a line of it ex-
cept the headings. Then when you arise
to deliver it you will probably forget
two-thirds Of it, but never mind. Keep
practicing, and you will gradually re-
member more and more of it, and new
thoughts will at length come to you
upon your feet No matter if you do
forget part. Even Wendell Phillips al
ways did that, but nobody knew it but
himself.-New York Commercial AID

A Russian Reception.

Where dancing is tabooed it is diff
cult to know just what to do with the
people that you like to invite to your
house. OF course there are dinners and
teas and musicales, but in the course of
human events one tires of all three and
sighs for something newer and less con-
ventional. Among novel forms of en-
tertainment which clever hostesses are
carrying out is the so called Russian
reception" The card of invitation is the
same as for an ordinary reception, but
when the mystical words Russian even
ing" are engraved in the corner the recip-
lent knows that she will meet at the
house of her hostess some artistic and
literary people whom she has long want
ed to know; that there will be deal OF
bright conversation interspersed with
music; that a simple standing collation.
will be served, and that she, together
with the other guests, will take an early
departure. Commonwealth.

An Aged Mute and Her Family.

In Monongahela township there re.
sides Mrs. Sarah King, widow of Horatic
King. She was born in New Jersey il
1902. To us that seems long time age
lacking less than eleven years of being
century. Mrs. King is mute. Her
three children were in no way afflicted
One strange fact is that she named them.
OF course she could not speak the word,
but designated the two brothers and sis.
ter whose names her children should
bear. She could do all kinds Of work
and do it well. She taught her daughter
to be model housekeeper. Mrs. King
was not educated; though she learned tc
make beautiful capital letters, could not
form them into words. A stranger meet.
ing her would not think her both deaf
and dumb. She understands all that is
said to her if she can watch the person
talking. Her eyesight and general health
are good. She is the Oldest person in
her township. -Waynesburg Pa-) indie

DECORATE THE PIANO.
Ia Small Rooms IL Is Now Made Thing
of Beauty and an Artistic JOY.

The magic skill of modern decorators
has vanquished the formidable aggres-
siveness even Of the parlor piano. For
merly pianos were most obstinately,
hopelessly angular objects in pretty
parlor, positively refusing to lend them-
selves to any scheme of decoration. But
even piano has possibilities, and since
these possibilities have been discovered
and realized the piano is the keynote Of
the whole decorative scheme. OF course
in all city parlors an upright piano is
used, and instead Of being set back
against the wall like a child in disgrace,
it is now turned out into the room al
most at right angles, which is decidedly
more agreeable to the performer. The
back Of the instrument is then drapcd
with some beautiful material, hanging
like curtain to the floor.
Sometimes plain piece OF Roman
sheeting is used, silken damask or
Pompadour velvet, with the mann color
in harmony with the room. Some
ladies introduce a small picture or bit of
embroidery in one upper corner, around
which the drapery is hung gracefully, or
clever needlewomen embroider the
whole drapery in quaint, odd designs.
A scarf of silk harmoniZing with the
hanging at the back falls over the top of
the piano, and there are candelabra or
some light pieces Of bric-a-brac that viii
not rattle when the instrument is in use.
Such are the possibilities of n piano IA
an object of decorative art, but wonder
full indeed are its possibilities in another
direction.
Placed near bay window, it shuts in
the contest lovers nest imaginable.
Soft cushioned window seats that have
room for just two-.intuitive seats they
might be called-are hidden thus away
completely from the cold, cruel world.
Smokers retreats with little couches
may be hidden in the shadow Of such a
piano when rich hangings fall from a
corner window. Or Il delightful tea cor
ner is made with screen for doorway,
and soft divans and dim lights inside.
Miss Georgia Cayvan has such tea cor
ner in her artistic little house in Harlem.
The back of the piano is hung with a
soft shade Of yellow, brocaded with dull
green leaves and flowers. Against this
the little tea table is placed, with its
dainty belongings, and low chair be-
side it where the hostess presides.
A yellow cushioned divan extends en-
tirely around this corner, lighted by the
soft radiance of lamp with pale green
shade, and piled high with bakers
dozen of pillows-large and small and
medium-with bright silken covers

Secret of Real Beauty.

An ugly woman-and there are such Of
us, unfortunately-mus never attempt
Vatican effects; she must forego min
iatures, aigrettes, delicate lace and for
get-me-not silks. Let her adopt copper
aud bronze, nuns cloth, monks flannel,
alligator feathers and the like. Things
are pretty only by contrast, and a pair
Of bronzed dragons in her ears will be
vastly better than diamonds the size of
chestnuts.
Bernhardt is far from beautiful, yet
she never enters room without turning
peoples heads and putting them to won
dering the secret of her charm. She
never has been known to wear diamonds
about her face. When asked why she,
said, with a shrug Of impatience:
What? Put brilliants in my ears to
Kill the light in my eyes and the colors
In my mouth! am not so mad as that"
And so she saves the delicate and pre-
cious stones for her finger rings, slippers
and belts, and has the oriental beads and
ornaments of china, metal and pebble
about her face, hair and throat.-New

Women in Swiss Universities.

Between 400 and 500 women studied
at the Swiss university last year; 229 of
them were regularly matriculated, and
were preparing themselves to take de-
grees; 146 of them came from Russia,
&c from Switzerland, 81 from Germany,
12 from Bulgaria, and from the United
States; 156 of them aspire to diplomas
in medicine, G are in the legal depart
ments, and 81 are trying to become doc
tors of philosophy. Switzerland is about
the only country on the continent that
has not taken pains to keep women as
far as possible from its universities, and
with each new concession from the
faculties the number of women attend.

the number was only so; five years ago
