Matter Ont of Place.

The fierce animosity some ardent
housekeepers exhibit toward dust seems
amusingly exaggerated to quieter souls.
To the true dust hater no family trouble
or family Joy is paramount. With her
mouth she may mourn Williams sorrow
or exult over Edith's prosperity. Her
eyes are rowing. They spy the bit of
fluff upon the carpet, and she checks
her sobs to pick it up. The recital OF
Edith's happiness is interrupted while
she walks across the floor TO wipe off
tables edge or to lament the difficulty
of keeping n room clean when the win.
dows are so often opened.
Births, deaths or marriages may come
and go in her household. Not one OF
these disturbs her equanimity half sc
much as having her sweeping day post
poned; they are all Of less importance
than the discovery that her dreaded
enemy has gained II footholl in some un
suspected corner.
An enthusiast of this sort one evening"
with a tragic air, requested her husband
to accompany her TO an upper chamber.
The tired lawyer was impressed by her
solemn manner, and heavily climbed the
necessary stairs, The lady led him into
a room and pointed sternly to table.
"Look at that" she said Indignantly.
'Three times this week have told Mary
TO dust it. / believe she ncglects il
purposely. | am completely disheart-
ened."
The lawyer looked at the table and
sighed.
"My DEAR" he replied, "today have
had to deal with murderer and two
burglars, | have also examined two
wife beaters and one child stealer, but
anything like the moral depravity of
Mary l confess never saw before
never!'
And the lady triumphantly led the
procession down nstairs.-Harper's Bazaar

BETTER TIMES FOR HAMBURG.


The Plague Thought to Have Run Its
Course-Busines Activity.
HAMBURG, Sep. 16-Autumnal weather
has set in and the heat of the last two
days is relieved by light winds and
falling thermometer.
There have been 69S fresh cases to day,
or 30 more than yesterday; 20G deaths, or
three more than yesterday; 331 .burals,
or lS more than yesterday. In the chol-
era hospitals and barracks the number
of patients has fallen to 1, ,309, the lowest
number of the last 16 days
Two-thirds of the patients are women
and children. The men now stricken,
the physicians say, are those who have
had little constitution TO resist the dis
ease Many of them have been hard
drinkers aud others have been weakened
by privations so rs to become easily in
fected. Among people of normal health
and habits the plague is believed to be at
an end
HAvRE, Sep. 16.-Tbere is but little
change in the cholera situation, except a
decline in the number of deaths. Thir-
teen new cases were reported here Yester
day, against eleven new cases and seven
deaths ON Tuesday.
PARIS, Sep 18.-Eight deaths from
cholera were reported in this city yester-
day, up to eight o'clock at night No
new cases were reported
ROTTERDAM, Sep 16.-A case of cholera
was reported yesterday in this city.
Evidences of the revival of confidence
are apparent ON all sides. The infantry
regiments which left Hamburg, Lubbock
and Altoona to take part in the Mecklen-
! burg maneuvres have returned to their
barracks, although n week ago it was
thought that their absence might be pro-
longed until October. The Stadt and
| Thalia Theatres have been reopened, and
most of the beer garden variety shows
have resumed business.
The fugitives continue to return, and
| scores of shops, which had been closed
have begun advertising for trade.

A sLleHr IMPRoveMENr.
The Doctors, However, Give No Hopes for
Mrs. Harrison's Reoovery.

Loon LAKE HOUSE, N Y, Sep 16. 90
On the whole, it may be said there is a
slight improvement in the condition Of
Mrs. Harrison to-day. 1t must also be
said that it is only OF temporary char
acter. She passed a restless night, and
for the last two weeks u comfortable night
has been the exception with her How
ever, she was not more tired than usual
when she awoke from her last nap, and
this indicates that the invalid has fairly
well held her swn.
Mrs. Harrison continues to consume
the regular amount of liquid food every
two hours. As long as the liquid does
not form in considerable quantity and
get into the chest cavity she will not
lose strength rapidly, but the tapping
operation is particularly wearing, because
of the nervous prostration it produces
This operation, which has been per-
formed twice, consists of the insertion Of
a needle, to which is attached a suction
piston, between the ribs, and the with
drawal Of the fluid from the cavity of the
pleura. Mrs. Harrison of late has taken
narcotics with much difficulty, and she
cannot be made insensible when the Oper-
alton is performed. Cocaine is used To-
cally-sprayed over a considerable area
of the side into which the needle is in
serted.
The consumption of the right lung is
pretty firmly fixed and in the event of
the mastering of the fluid formation com
plication, this disease still remains to be
fought Mrs. Harrison is not mentally
seriously sick. The long strain and nerv-
GUS prostration have, of course, had the
effect of exciting and disturbing her
brain somewhat. When the recent com
plication was making its appearance, to-
ward the end of last week, Mrs. Harrison
moaned for hours in the night continu-
ally declaring how nervous she was and
insisting on being taken home.
DR.. Gardner will make no prediction
as to the probable outcome of the disease
from which his patient is suffering. Mrs.
Harrison, he says, is in an extremely
critical condition and further than that
he will say nothing.
Owing to the weak condition of the
patient a journey from the Harrison cot
tage to any place on the nearest railroad
would be extremely difficult. The roads
are extremely hilly and the water route
is Objectionable for other reasons.
There is hardly possibility that Mrs.
Harrison will be removed from Loon
Lake at present unless she becomes
stronger and better in every way.
The doctors say, if improvement should
set in it VIII De very slow, and it seems
safe to say that Mrs Harrison will not bt
ready for removal irom here for long
time.

MURDER WILL OUT,
A Prominent Michigan Man Confesses a
Crime of LONG Ago.

Crime of Long Ago.
HARRIsoNvILLE, Mich, Sep. 16.-Al-
fred Henshaw, a wealthy and prominent
citizen, has confessed to a murder COM
mitted by him ten years ago at SUrath-
roy, Ont.
Two detectives, who had been search
ing for him for a number of months,
went to his residence Wednesday night,
and, when accused of the murder by
them, he broke down, and acknowledged
he was the man they wanted.
1t appears that ten years ago Henshaw
was a dealer in lumber at Strathroy,
when he became financially involved.
Richard Drake, his partner, chided him
for his conduct, and they had a quarrel
one night in their office.
Henshaw stabbed Drake to death,
locked the body in large safe, and fed.
Ten days later the body was discov-
cred, but no clue could be obtained as to
Henshaw's whereabouts.
About six months ago a son Of the muir
dered man offered two local detectives
81, 900 reward for Henshaw's cap ture.
The detectives traced the murderer to
New York and thence to this place.
