Suddenly the burglar came to full consci.

position.

Not during the whole evening had Miss
Loring's voice been more gentle than when she
pronounced sentence upon the bandit trem-
bling before her. And at no time had she ap-
peared more deliciously pretty than then. her

peignoir, and her face resting on one hand,
whose elbow pressed down into the perfumed
pillow. 1t was rare picture that which the
helpless burglar looked upon for the last time.

Julia did everything as directed. The bur-
glar trembled bresthed heavily, and fell with
out consciousness upon the floor.
"Open the window"
Julia obeyed.

With the precision of soldier Julia caught
up her mummy-like and dummy like admirer
and held him poised at the window ready to
let him drop at the word of command.

The bundle fell to the ground heavily, and
Julia heaved sigh which was also heavy.

The camerist left the room.
Left alone, pretty Miss Eva Loring crushed
out the fire of her cigaret in silver-ash re-
ceiver. Then she placed her little revolver
with It's ivory handle under the pillow, and then
with dainty, pointed finger touched the cleo
trio button.
The room was once more enveloped in dark
ness.
Then Miss Eva stretched herself out COM
fortably between her embroidered sheets. and
with an approving conscience went to sleep.

THE PRIDE OF MAN.
A Short Chapter Concerning the Mustaches
of the Time.

OF the Time.
Mustaches, like the expression of those who
wear them range from
Grave to gay,
From lively TO severe.
There Is much that is unhappy in the history
of mustaches. They were originally grown and
used as reins by which slaves were driven from
market to market by their masters. Boards
were generally popular before mustaches were
common. Only so years ago In many parts OF
this country the latter were thought to be real
curiosites, and the men who first wore them
did not by SO doing highten themselves in the
good opinions of the people.
Try to imagine, if you can, George Washing
tou, or John Adams, or Thomas Jefferson wear
ing mustache. A picture of George Washing
ton showing him in the act of curling his
waxed mustache would instantly tumble him
from his lofty pedestal wherein loving people
has enshrined him.
The nice, trim, and wel-behaved mustache
signifies that its owner has no striking traits of
character. He is neither any better nor any
worse than any one else The smooth manner
in which the hairs Of even length lie along
side of each other signify an even tempera-
ment and an average disposition. Such a man
will not love hate desperately. He is in
life what the middle &C" is in music. He will
be fairly successful in all he undertakes, but
he will never undertake anything extraordi
nary.
The scant, retiring mustache that timidly
fingers half way between down and real hair
has something in its favor. Its owner is not
murderous nor evilly disposed, although he
may smoke cigarets. This style of mustache
was originally designed for clerks in dry goods
stores, but it has since been affected by many
others, until now 1t has no field exclusively its
own.
The long, dropping mustache, that looks as
If it had lost its sustaining force, suggests a
withered flower that is bowed down because
of drought. Such mustache appears always
to be thirsty, and the chances are that it is.
OF course there are other varieties of mus
taches, but we cannot do better than leave the
whole subject with the girls.

fast for a considerable time than touch piece
of salt meat. Cats, for instance detest carbon,
and yet trappers have found by experience that
wildcats and lynxes can be baited with spoiled
meat moro easily than with salt pork or beef.
It is also certain that the habitual use of salt
in large quantities produces troublesome skin
diseases, besides disordering the functions of
the kidneys. Before science discovered the
possibility of (partly) counteracting the evil
by the use of lime juice, sailors were eaten up
with scurvy and that the trouble was due to
the excessive use of sal rather than of meat
is proved by the fact that in Russia scorbutic
affections often result from q diet of salted
cabbage, while the almost purely carnivorous
Gauchos of the South American steppes expo
rience no similar consequences from dried beef.
The cowboys of northern Mexico, too. know
scurvy only from hearsay, though jerked beef
constitutes their principal diet from New Year
till May, when they get chance to add an oc-
casional handful of wild strawberries or cactus
figs.

Gen. Stevenson Meets Great Many OF
Wheeling's Fair Ones.
After Ganeral Stevenson had returned
TO the hotel from the meetings he I'M
mec lately repaired to his apartments
preparatory TO his reception arranged
by a number of the energetic Democrat
ic ladies. The parlors had been most
handsomely decorated, the mirror being
intertwined with ivy. the chandeliers
most beautifully bedecked, while the
windows, mantles and tables were cor
respondingly adorned. The nrtistes
who accomplished this enhancing effect
were Misses Bessie Lamb, Flora Will
son, Jessie Turner and Lottle Water
house.
While the reception was primarily
given TO General Stevenson, IL also In
cIuded Congressman Wilson, Col. Vance,
Hon. j. S. Ewing and other members OF
the party. General Stevenson was q
little late in arriving at the parlors, be-
Ing in conversation with Henry Nj. Rus
sell, Esq. in Mr. RUssell's apartment
on the next floor. Upon the arrival OF
General Stevenson there was quite a
hutter within the prettily oedecked
apartment, and the guests, ladies
and gentlemen alike, Immediately
formed In line, and promenaded slowly
around the room obtaining an intro
duction at the west end
where General Stevenson and
party stood. Gen. Stevenson was Inn
maculately arrayed, and as he stood there
smiling at one and all, his tall, stately
figure towering above all around him,
he presented an imposing figure, and
handsome, as every lady said.
Mrs. Col. w. w. Arnett. handsomely
attired, President OF the Ladies' Com
mittee, was everywhere present ex-
tending courtesies to all. and looking
after the wants OF the guests. Another

gentlemen left the carriages and enter

followed, and took seets reserved for
them in front OF the stage.
THE CROWD.
The Opera House filed rapidly, and
before the meeting was called TO order
every seat in the building was occupied,
and standing room in the aisleS was at
a premium. There were probably four
teen hundred people in the building,
including the prominent Democrats on
the stage, among whom were Hon.

At PAS o'clock Chairman Kincheoe
stepped to the front Of the stage where
upon some one in the audience called
for three cheers for VIM. l.. Wilson.
Three of the loudest, lustlest, and most
enthusiastic cheers ever heard in the
building, were given In response.
When order was restored, Mr.. Kin
cheloe introduced Hon. j. j. Woods as
Chairman Of the meeting. Mr. Woods
explained how the inclement weather
had compelled the committee on ar
rangements 10 abandon the original
programme of speaking on the Island
and engaging the two Opera Houses to
accommodate, as far as possible, the
vast number OF strangers within the
city's gates. Then, after worthy eu-
logium of Mr.. Wilson, introduced that
gentleman to his hearers, who insisted
upon three more rousing cheers.
TIE SPEECH.
The applause which greeted Mr..
Wilson as he arose and advanced tosthe
front OF the stage was almost desfening.
He said:

speech, frequently aronsing great enthusi-
asm.
HON. VIZ. L. WILSON.
General Vance was followed by Hon.
VIM. L. Wilson, who was introduced to the
audience at 30 p. m, and who spoke for
half an hour He began by saying he had
come TO Wheeling hoping to get day of
rest, and here he found himself making
the second speech in period of two hours.
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Wilson
said there was one thing which had forced
its attention upon him as it had upon
other Democrats, and that was not in 1888
the salvation Of the Democratic party
came from the city of Wheeling. Up to
that time Ohio county had been in the
habit OF sending one or two Republicans
TO the House of Delegates, but in 1888
solid delegation Of Democrats was sent to
Charleston, and these Democratic mem
bers saved the Democratic party United
States senator and saved the State
government. He said he had
spoken in the Opera House about
ticket, and he wanted to say something
abont the lower part Of it. He hoped the
Democracy of Wheeling would repeat their
action Of 1883. and send solid Democratic
delegation to Charleston. He knew some
of the gentlemen upon the county ticket
and he was assured all OF these were
worthy of support. MIR Brockunier he knew
and he had exceptional merits as legis-
lator. And he was but an example Of the
others.
Mr.. Wilson then addressed himself
briefly to the tariff, making an eloquent
and excellent speech, which was frequently
interrupted by applause.
