Sir Harvey ELVES, of Stoke, in Suffolk,
next to boarding money, found his prin.
cipal pleasure in netting partridges. He
and his household, consisting of one man
and two maids, lived upon these. In cold
or wet weather Sir Harvey would walk
up and down his hall to save fire. His
clothes cost him nothing, for he ran.
sacked old chests and wardrobes and
wore those of his ancestors. When he
died the only tear shed was by his sery-
ant, to whom he left the farm-value.
fifty pounds per annum.
The whole of his property was left to
his nephew, John Maggott, who thus in
herited real and personal estate worth
R250,000, on condition that he should as
sumo the name and arms of ELVES, OF
this man, who is better known as John
ELVES, the miser, the following story is
told: His nephew, Colonel Timms, Wis
tied him at Marcham, and after retiring
to rest found himself wet through. Find.
ing that the rain was dripping through
the ceiling, he moved the bed. He had
not lain long before the game inconven-
ience again occurred. Again he rose and
again the rain came down. After push
ing the bed quite around the room, he
found corner where the ceiling was
better secured and slept until morning.
When he met his uncle at breakfast he
told him what had happened. AYE,
aye" said Mr.. Elves; II don't mind it
myself, but to those who do, that's a nice
corner in the rain. ."-Cassell's Journal.

before the riot he went from Pittsburg
to Homestead on the same train with

NOW H0MEWARD BOUND.
Mrs. Harrison Leaves Loon Lake
for Washington.
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE TOMORROW.

Her Physicians Decide That Her
Present Condition Will Permit the
Transfer, and the Patienf Herself
Is ANXIOUS to Return to the White
House.
Loon LAKE HOUSE, N. T., Sept co.
The presidential party, including Mrs
Harrison, left here at noon today and
are expected to reach Washington to-
morrow morning. The details of the
trip are pnrposely withheld in order that
the journey may be made as quietly and
comfortably as the occasion demands.
DIR. Gardner said: "In view of the
fact that the president and his family
wish her removal to Washington it was
decided to move her now instead of at
later period, because in two or three
days her condition might not permit her
removal. The fluid in the pleura is
liable to be reproduced at any time and,
of course, each appearance diminishes
her chances of recovery"
The transfer over the rough mountain
road to the railroad station, distance of
three miles, was made in long covered
wagon especially adapted to the road,
and so arranged as to receive the cot on
which Mrs. Harrison was carried from
the cottage.
There are considerable misgivings as to
the result of the removal, but nearly
every person concerned in Mrs. Har-
rison's welfare considers that it is the
only thing to be done under the circum-
stances.
Mr.. George w. Boyd, of the Pennsyl-
vania road, has general charge Of the
trip. He was specially requested to do
so by Mrs. Harrison.
The party will go from here to Malone,
and from there, by way Of Plattsburg,
Albany and Jersey City, to Washington
A member Of the presidential party
said that Mrs. Harrison's desire to be re-
moved had been constantly expressed
nearly every day for the past four weeks,
and while she might go for "a day or two
without mentioning the fact, it was evil
dent that the subject was constantly in
her thoughts and could not be eifaced.
This knowledge gave some anxiety to
the president, and it was feared that the
Improvement in Mrs. Harrison's condi-
ton might not be so rapid while her de-
size remained ungratified.

Eccentricity, and nothing else, distin-
guishes the will proved in 1724 of Henry
Trigg, of Stonage, of the county of
Hertfurd, grocer, who directed that his
body should be committed to the west
end of his howell to be deeently laid
there upon floor erected by his execu-
tors; and only sixty years ago, it is said,
the bones Of Mr.. TriSg still remained
unburied in the rafters at the west end
of his hovel aforesaid. A provision,
quite as bizarre, was made in the will of
the philosophic Jeremy Bentham, who
enjoined his executors to embalIn his
corpse and dress it in the clothes which
he was accustomed to wear in his life
time, in order that he might form the
text of lecture to be delivered annu-
ally at literary institute held at a
school of anatomy in Windmill street,
Haymarket.
On the occasion of one of the lectures
on Jeremy Bentham's mummy the ven
cradle philosophers head fell off and
came to irremediable grief, whereupon
an artificial head was modelled in wax
by Miss Margaret Gillies, the distin-
guished miniature painter, but the
mummy with the waxen head has long
sineefaded out of the public ken.-Lon.

GUS intent and carrying concealed
weapons. He had no counsel and pre-
ferred to conduct his own case. A fury
was obtained with trouble and the case
was opened by District Attorney Bur-
leigh.
Mr.. Frick, the first witness, detailed
the incidents Of the assault as published
at the time. David Fourtney, the ele-
vator man, testified that the prisoner had
said he intended to kill Frick, and DR..
Litchfeld described the nature of the
wounds.
Berkman refused to be sworn, and read

man was sentenced to twenty-five years
imprisonment in the r2nitentiary.

BERLIN, Sept. 2O.-The Eerliner Tage-
blatt announces in dispatch from Lodz,
Russia, that Prince Anton Radzill, adiu-
tant general Of the elnperor's military
household, head of one of the Oldest and
noblest families of Germany, and one of
the cZar's few German favorites, became

preached him. After fatally woundihg
two servants and frightening off the no.
lice who went to arrest him he was finally
oFerpowefed by a company of fremen.
He has been sent TO an asylum. Tho
cause of his sudden madness is a mys-
terry. He is 60 years old, and throughout
his long court life has been universally
esteemed for his kindness of heart and
nobility of character. Prince Anton
Radzill has been the personal adjutant
of the three rulers of the German EN-
pire. His family is connected with the
house Of Hohenzollern.

was standing in the lobby of the
Adams House in Boston. A New York
club man came in and stood talking
with some one in the lobby for several
minutes.
After he had gone out the man he had
been talking with came over to me-he
was friend Of mine-and put this ques-
ton: "How does Hicks Yardly dress so
wellP He has only 5000 a year, and
yet he manages to dress himself so as TO
look much better garbed than any Bos-
ton man know. Strange, isn't itr'
Not at all.
The Boston man dressed on cash ac-
count and an eye to color. The New
Yorker's dress was not only an art, but
a science-an art because he had an eye
to harmony; science because he had n
comprehensive knowledge of means to
ends.
Any one knows enough not to wear
red cravat and II bottle green coat; but
how many men know how to have their
coats cut or their shoes shapedp They
leave it to their tailors, and most tailors
cut a coat the same for STRIPPING of
twenty as they would for an alderman.
Hicks Yardly would have informed
the Boston man that his hat was too
broad brimmed, his collar was too high
in front and too low in the back; that
his cravat was blue and his violets pur-
ple-Oh, horror of horrors!-that his cut
away had one too many buttons on it;
that his waistcoat hung down like an
inverted V, whereas 1t should bind about
him like belt; that his trousers were
tight to tho knee and loose from there
down, whereas they should have been
the reverse; that his shoes turned up at
the toes-the sole of the English made
shoe touches the ground from tin to
heel; that his gloves were russell, whereas
they should have been brick color; that
his hair was short on top and long be-
hind, whereas it should be long on top
and short behind; that his mustache
should not be waxed; that his topcoat
was loose in front and tight fitting in
the back, whereas the reverse should be
the case; that his stick was buckhorn,
in the face Of the well known fact that
no true man of the world would carry
nowadays any other than an all wood
cane.
Mr.. Hicks Yardly would then pause
for want of breath and leave the lobby,

as it is now known "a de 'cribed as fol-
lows:
A head of medium strength, with
slightly Roman nose, we'll covered with
wool on the top, a bright, intelligent face
Of tan or fawn and white color; ears
from small to medium, also mottled, not
dropping; scrag full and brisket good;
girth round the heart decidedly good for
breed which has received so little en-
couragement from the selector or breed
maker; fore quarters, generally also
heavy for rowing breed, contrasting
favorably with the Radnorsj loin good,
and hind quarters generally extremely
well developed; the tail broad and long.
The wool on the fore quarters is of re-
markably fine texture, that on the hind
quarters not quite SO good, and inclined
to breechiness or hairyness, probably
owing to the crossings with other local
breeds, for tho old Ryeland was exempt
from breechiness. The legs are mottled
black and white or tan and white. Be-
sides this the breed is particularly hardy
and prolific, and the ewes are without
exception good mixers.

New York, Sept. 2O.-The cholera
scare has about petered out, and it also
appears that the cholera has done like
wise. Affairs were at complete stand
still at sanitary headquarters yesterday.
The only steps taken by the board of
health yesterday was to quarantine the
| steamship State of Nevada and an old
canal boat on the North river. The
steamship was quarantined because of
the death on board of Stoker Knox after
an attack of diarrhpa. He had been
ashore and got drunk. His mates said
he was subject to such attacks after q
spree. The canal boat quarantined is
the property of James Carr, who went
to New Brunswick to see sick child
and died there of what the New Bruins
wick board of health declared to be Ash
attic cholera. There were number of
cholera reports received at the head
quarters of the board Of health, which
proved on investigation to be entirely
groundless.
Private advices state that with few ex-
tions all the British Windward Island
ports have ordered quarantine of twen-
ty-one days against all vessels from the
United States.
BALTIMORE, Sept. o0.-Another cholera
story was exploded by the arrival at her
dock of the johnson line steamer Balti-
more, which had been detained at Quar-
antine flying the yellow flag since Satur-
day. The suspected case proved to be
simple diarrhea.
LONDON, Sept. 20.-A dispatch to The
