w. T. Stead, editor of The Review Of
Reviews, has taken up with his accus-
toned vigor the cause of Mrs. May brick,
the hapless American woman now lying
in Woking prison because she either did
or did not poison her husband, and the
English lawyers have never been able to
find out whether she did or not. So,
reversing all law and precedent which
hold an accused person innocent until
he has been proved guilty, these brilliant
British judges sent Mrs. Maybrick to
jail. They confessed to having, preju-
dice against her because she had been
gossiped about. That of itself untitled
them to judge her case, but on the
strength of it they condemned her to
imprisonment for life. Mr.. Stead makes
a powerful appeal for the woman in his
magazine. "Ought Mrs. Maybrick to
be Tortured to Death ?" is the title. He
says in his paper absolutely that both he
and Sir Charles Russell have received
the deathbed confession of man in
South Africa-Henry Wilson-who says
he and a woman whose name is not
given put arsenic in Mr.. Maybrick' s
medicine during his last illness. If this
is true, then the cruelty and meanness
of SO called English justice appears more
vividly than ever. Mr.. Stead is right in
saying that the matter may become a
cause of diplomatic complications with
the United States. The United States
will not see one of its citizens tortured
to DEATH Stead says Mrs. Maybrick
will die unless soon released.

Late election New-Conc1uded.


The vote of Indiana is considered more
favorable for Cleveland than Harrison.
At the republican headquarters the
state is still claimed, but not with much
show of confidence. The best informa-
ton obtainable indicates that the state
has gone democratic 5000 to 1000; that
the democrats have elected 10 out of 13
members of congress, a gain of l; and
that the legislature is republican in both
branches.
The result in Wisconsin is still in
doubt, both sides claiming the state.
Chairman H. G. Payne, of the republi-
can state committee, claims about 10,-
oO0 plurality for Harrison and Spooner.
Chairman Wall, of the democratic COM
mittee, stands by his claim of $4,000 for
Cleveland and Peck.
The Michigan rel lblican state ticket
is elected. The electoral vote is divided
by the gerrymandered districts. Re-
turns to Chairman Breldenthal from 90
counties in Kansas show fusion major
ity of 9,400. Late returns at republican
headquarters show a great falling off in
the republican vote and indicate the
election of Lewellin, fusionist, for gov
ernor, and the Weaver electors. The
republican state ticket is probably
elected, and Jerry Simpson is defeated.
a Washington dispatch says Presi-
dent Harrison went about his public
duties this morning as if nothing had
happened and seemed the least disturbed
of any body around the White house.
A friend said he would lay down the
cares of Office without a single personal
regret. He declined to talk to reporters
about the result.

Jim Couldn't Go Because He Was

There was to be dance that night
in the gulch, and all her beauty and

New York Truth.
Upon the mountain side q light
fickered from the window of Dandy
Jim's cabin.
The revealers observed it as they
went in groups to the ball and won

Jim was always the very first at all
festive occasions and the last to
leave.
An hour after the latest arrivals
had made their appearance Jim had
not come.
Wonders gave place to alarm then
and acommittee OF three were appoint
ed to go to Jim's cabin and investi-
gate.
The light from the window streamed
down the path and the visitors found
no difficulty in reaching the cabin
though the night was dark.
In response to their knock they we're
invited to enter and within they found
Dandy Jim seated in the corner in the
deepest detection.
Hello, Jim," greeted the spokes-
man, cheerily, "why amt yer at the

Cant boys. I can't come" and
Jim's lips quivered.

"Wusn't that, boys. I amt got
nuthin' to wear. Both my revolvers
are out of order and Winchester is
such-bad form, besides bein' awk-
ward to dance in"
Jim hastily brushed his eyes and
the visitors looked mournfully at
each other. -
They knew that on such a night
there were no spare garments in the
gulch that would fit Dandy Jim.

Small Huts in Which Far Norther-
ners Hide During the Winter.
The igloos, of winter stone huts,
were not far from the summer tupiks,
writes a correspondent of Scribner's.
They were built upon the hillside, a
portion of which is dug out to form
the interior. The domed roofs were
made of large pieces IF fat sandstone,
carefully arranged and held in place
by pieces of bone. These protruded
somewhat into the hut, and were
utilized as hooks upon which hung
harpoon lines, pouches of seal and
bird skin, tin drinking-cups, bone
drills, etc. At the back OF the hut
was q platform raised about foot
from the floor. Opposite this, which
served as the bed, was the opening of
a tunnel six or eight feet long through
which the family must crawl to enter
their abode; and here the dogs find
shelter during the storms of winter. The
tunnel slopes down from the floor, SO
that water from the melting SHOWS of
spring may not run into the house.
Over the inner entrance of the tunnel,
about four feet square, is another
opening of about the same dimensions,
which allows light to enter the dwell
ing. This hole is closed in winter by
having stretched over it the stomach
of the walrus, scraped thin and
soaked in oil. At Herbert Island
severel igloos were double, that is, two
igloos were built close together, each
with a separate tunnel, but the divid-
ing inside partition was left incoms
plete.

Doctors Are Easily Fooled, as These
Instances Clearly Show.
Doctor Brunton, in an address late
ly reported in the London Lancet,
was cautioning his hear ers-the mem
bers of a medical society against
hastily expressed opinions as to the
nature of patients diseases, and en-
phasized his warning by two profess
sional anecdotes. He was once pres
ent at clinic, the subject of which
was man evidently suffering from
some disease of the heart.
An unnatural murmuring sound
could be heard from that organ, and
the pupil of one of his eyes was very
much diIated. The peculiar appear
ance of the eye seemed to have some
connection with the cardiac affection,
but various opinions were expressed
by the different students as to what
the precise nature of this relation
could be.
The discussion was just becoming
interesting when the patient remark
ed that his Strengthening eye was
made of glass!
At another clinic the professor in
charge was discussing learnedly bout
the Importance of attending to minor
symptoms.
Nov, gentlemen" he said, Gin the
the case of this woman here, certain
things could be confidently affirmed
from the condition of her teeth"
He was proceeding to particularize,
but just then the patient broke in up
on him.
"Please, sir" shesaid, as she took
out her teeth, 81 will hand them
round; the young gentleman might
like to look at them closer"

A Boston Maids Kindly Intention
ThWarted by Defect Of Hearing.
She was amiddle-aged woman dress
ed in black, and wearing eyeglasses
says the Boston Journal. She carried
both her head aud her bundles in q
way that indicated self-reliance, and,
having failed to find o. seat in the Old
Colony car she entered first, although
the train was now in motion. she
bravely crossed the platform and
went into the next car.
A masculine eye would probably
have noticed nothing peculiar in her
personal appearance, but nearly
every woman that she passed noticed
that the newcomer still wore a
draped overskirt and that this
| part of her attire, instead of having
the necessary symmetry, was hitched
around on one side in a way that was
not only questionable, but entirely
ungraceful and unbecoming. Woman
like, they wanted to tell her of it.
She had found a seat, had seated
herself, and was calmly depositing her
bundles by her side, when a very
pretty girl in the seat just behind
leaned forward and said, in a low
tone:
1beg your pardon, madam, but
something seems to be wrong with
your dress. The skirt is caught to
one side in some way, and
"Hey?" said the woman, sharply.
The girl repeated in substance
what she had said before, and added
humbly: 81 thought you would like
to know, SO as to fix it before you go
| on the street again."
The woman didn't understand. She
turned around, and throwing her head
back, in order to direct her gaze
through her glasses, carefully scrutin-
lied the young lady's features. Then,
in loud tone, with due elaboration,
she said: "I-don' -think-I-know
| you"
The young lady blushed. This re-
ception of her we'll meant information
was more than she had balgained for,
and her voice, though subdued; was
very distinct. The passengers near
| by were becoming interested.
II don't want to seem rude, but
your skirt is somewhat one-sided."
The woman had q puzzled look on
her face, and she slowly repeated:
81 am q little deaf" she added; "can't
you speak little louder?"
lier own tones by this time were
loud enough for an open-air orator,
and the audience to the dialogue now
comprised all the passengers in the
| car.
The pretty girl had gone too far to
| back out, and in q tone that would
| have done credit to an elocutionist
she tried again. "Your skirt is one
sided!"
For the first time the face of the
woman lightedup with show of in
terest, and with a delusive smile that
raised false hopes in the fair maiden s
breast she leaned far back so as to get
the fullimport of the reply and shout
ed:
Did you say you came from Roch-
| ester?"
She was little deaf. 1t took the
combined efforts of all the ladies near
her to make her understand, but
when she knew what they wanted she
seemed truly grateful, and, turning
| round, would doubtless have added
to her acknowledgment some words
OF apology to the young lady, but the
seat was vacant. Thefair Samaritan
was gone.

Something of a Weapon

Police Captain Cox, of the East
Side, was last evening exhibiting a
murderous weapon in the city Jail,
the like ofwhich has never been seen
before. It is folding sword that
can be used either as a club or a
sword and when opened is about
two feet and a halfin length. It's blade
is made of heavy steel, tapering to a
point at the end, and both edges are
sharpened. The weapon is heavy
enough to take off a head at single
blow. 1t can be opened in an instant
by pressing q small spring at the end
of the hilt, which lets a heavier spring
throw out the blade. Captain Cox
says the weapon is historical relic,
having been found on the field of the
Custer massacre, but tradition
and Jailer Hudson say that it was
once the property of Turkish brigade

4 CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

Tha Confusion Which Resulted
From a Young Mans Poiltoness.
Whether gallantry is at all times q
good thing to display in public is q
question that was debated mentally
by whole carful of people in Broad
way, says the New York Times. The
car was bound do, own, and at
Fourteenth street it was comfortably
filled. 1t was nearly IL o'clock and
the outpouring crowd from the Star
theater supplied enough more passen-
gers to pack the car from door to
door. Three or four men were seated
and half a dozen women, all young,
vivacious, and apparently robust,
were standing. Everybody was good
natured and as the crowd bowlea
along there was not the slightest mani
festation OF discomfort.
But there was one very gallant
young man who could not let well
enough alone. He was packed snugly
between two women whose skirts al
most concealed the lower portion of
his body. By frantic efforts he extri-
Gated himself, and with q polite bow
rendered his seat to q young woman
who was contentedly conversing with
friends, who were also standing. She
glanced at the vacant seat, saw about
two inches of space, and smilngly
shook her head. But the gallant
young man insisted, and, in an effort
to make another bow, knocked stout
woman with bundle off her balance.
The woman fell into the lap of an old
gentleman, and the bundle landed
among the feathers of Glove of q
bonnet" at the other end of the car.
The startled old gentleman in trying
to assist the stout woman to her feet
lost his silk hat, which, in its down
ward course, swept pair OF opera
glasses from the lap OF the woman
who sat next to him.
Meanwhile the gallant young man
was trying to apologize to the stout
woman. He stumbled over the feet OF
one passenger, knocked woman's
hat awry, and, by the sudden stop
ping of the car, involuntarily en-
braced the maiden to whom he had
offered his seat. There were muttered
signs of discomfort, and the embar
raised gallant would have left the car
but for the masses of humanity packed
between him and the doors. Hethere-
fore swung disconsolately from q
strap, humping against this one and
that, and listened to such feminine
calculations as "Well, never!' For
goodness sake" "Gracious!' etc. And
the young woman did not take his
seat
