THE WOMAN WHO EATS.
She Outrivals the Anaconda on His Bsst
 Days.

She Outrivals the Anaconda on His Bosf
 Days.
 Have you ever seen her-the woman who eats? unkindly asks the Philadel- phia Times. If not you should, for outside of museum nothing so remark able ever was seen.
 She generally lives at hotel run on the American plan, and evidently feels in duty bound to take everything on the bill of fare in order to get hor moneys worth.
 It never occurs to her to skip one sim gle thing, yet every meal she studies the menu with an interest as absorbing 2 as though she were only to be allowed one portion, and that one she was Ge- termined to have the best.
 When this exhaustive survey is fin ished, she leans back in her chair, looks up at the waiter in attendance with 8 coy, sweet smile, and says: "I will com mence with oysters"
 If there were anything ahead o1 oysters for her to begin on she would do so, for she Is systematic feeder, and will go on religiously through soup fish, entrees, roasts, vegetables, salads and desserts until the weary waiter con hdes to sympathetic oonfrere that 1t i his private opinion that she Is the IndA rubber girl.
 When at last the finishing sip of eoffot has been swallowed she dips her fingers in the bowl of water near at hand gathers up what she has not eaten of thG fruit and passes out, leaving the waitea to wonder at the appetite of creature that looks above such mundane occult arities, yet who leaves enough soilet dishes and crumbs in her wake to es tablish forever her reputation as per former who would make her mark if aH eating contest were ever arr anged.

HIS QUADRUPLE CRIME
Terrible Deed of an Insane
 German in Chicago.
HE NARROWLY ESCAPED LYNcAlN G

Hermann sieGIer Shot Wife. aiother-in,
 Law. Fnther-In-Law, and a Policeman
 Two Dead. the Others Probably Fatally
 Hurt-An Angry Crowd Attempts ts
 Kill the Assassin.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The later annals O. Chicago can record no more horrible crime nor one accompanied by more sen sational details than that which brought death into a two-story frame cottage in the northwestern part of this city last evening By the acts of man, who is said by some to be insane, a double mur- der was committed, two people seriously if not fatally wounded and the murderer narrowly escaped violence at the hands oi
 thousand citizens who live near the scene of the tragedy.
 Herman Seigler, German, lived with his wife and three children at ths resi- dence of his wife's parents, Henry and Caroline Siles on Paulina street. Moth ing unusual was noticed in his actions until yesterday afternoon, when, gun in hand, he entered the parlor where his wife and children were. One of the little ones saw him first and began to scream.
 Mrs. Siles, the mother-in-law, hurried into the room and as she entered Siegler attempted to elevate the gun as though he intended to shoot her. She rushed up
 to him and throwing her arms about his neck, tried to take the gun from him.
 He pushed the aged woman aside
 violently, then he raised the shot gun
 and pointing the barrel almost directly
 against her left breast fired before she
 could offer any resistance. She sank the floor dead Mrs
 Siegler, in the meantime, had carried the children to the house of neighbor, and on returning encountered her hus-
 band, who fired at her, several of the shot
 taking effect in her neck and breast. The noise down stairs aroused MT. Siles, and he descended into the hallway. As he stepped from the lower step
 which he had previously reloaded, he fired. MT. Siles received the full charge at close range.
 It is believed that Siegler then dis charged the other barrel of his gun in his father-in-law's face, for portions of his neck and right cheek were torn away. By this time crowd had gathered out side, and as Officer, Simonson came up Siegler appeared in the doorway. The people fell back, and as the officer drew his revolver he ordered Siegler to surren- der
 The latter's reply was shot from his gun, but he shot high. Simonson re- turned the fire, and Siegler staggered
 back with bullet in his. side. He suc- ceeded in firing another shot, which slightly wounded the officer, before he \ was overpowered.
 As Siegler was being taken to the 4 patrol wagon threats of violence were heard on every hand and a number ot re- volvers were drawn by citizens who were anxious to get hold of the murderer. ! Repeatedly Siegler was struck by men whose interference could not be prevented | by the police.
 Siegler at last placed in the wagor | and the horses were whipped into a gal l lop. At the station he made a statement which was short, incoherent and indica | tive of insanity. He was afterwards taker | to the hospital The extent of hiI | wounds is not known

BY WILLIAM WEsTALL.


 This evening. But you must leave separately. The police, having missed you, will follow him, and his carriage will be closely examined as it passes the barrier"
 Here Mime. Bonaparte paused, as if tc reflect.
 You must go separately" she re peated, "and meet at St. Denis, Lacluse in a post-chase, you in my carriage"
 "In your carriage, madame?"
 "Yes; it will be recognized as the generals, and you will have no diff. culty in passing the barrier. But, as ii is always the unexpected that happens, and it would not be quite comme il faut for me to accompany you, I will provide you with a companion, who can answer for you in case of need"
 'I thank you with all my heart madame. It is a brilliant scheme, and am sure will succeed"
 "Yes, think it is rather good," she said, smiling complacently. "Dame if Bonaparte were not so absurdly par ticular, and his brothers so watchful md ccnsorious, I would go with you tC St. Denis myself. However, dare say the arrangement shall make will be moro to your taste"
 That Is impossible, madame"
 Madame BOnaparte smiled, as if al some thought of her own, and then con- tinucd:
 And now let me give you word ot advice. You will arrive at Boulogne two or three days before the general. He went away not very well pleased with you, as you know; but the moment he arrives go to him and announce your desire to join the French navy and all will be forgotten. He is organ i:ing q great expedition; your services will be very valuable, and you will re- turn covered with glory"
 "A great expedition! For the inva ion of Epgland?"
 No. It was never seriously intended | tr invade England. It's destination is he cast--Egypt; and I am sure they will give you an important command.
 did not think it my duty to inform Imr. Bnnaparte of my resolution not to join the French navy. It would bt | luitc enough to inform her husband when we met at Bouiogne. We were still talking when Lacluse returned. He reported that Forget wa: till alive, and that the doctors haG good hopes of his recovery.
 The aidr-dr-ramp expressed warm ap oroval of Mmr. B"napartc's plan. | was agreed that he should start from the Rue du Bac at six precisely, anc | that should start from the Rue de ls Nictoire fifteen minutes later As f was not considered cxpcdient for me t leave the house in the meantime, La cluse would pack up and take with hir my belongings.
 At q quarter past six my carrie4y will be ut tho door," said Mime, BoI,c parto. "M. Roy can spend the inter [ in the generals cabinet. l am eXpec | ing visitors, but there nobody wi | trouble him; he will find plenty C | books, and, as he is q sailor, pcrmi | him to SmDllc.'

THE ROSES DID IT.

 It was quite early in the forenoon, but Twenty-third street was already filled with the wise matrons and virgins who do their shopping "before the crowd gets out," says the New York World. The flower boys were offering punches of roses and chrysanthemums in manner suggestive of demanding ones money or ones life, waving them wildly in the faces of possible custom. CTS, obstructing the way and yelling prices in deafening tones.
 Through the crowd he and she were making their way, and they were not having pleasant time. He was an Inoyed at being suddenly dragged off tc look at silk breakfast sacques in ont window and art linens in another. Anf he was saying so after the unpleasantb frank fashion of gentlemen who have been married since June.
 "You didn't talk like this last spring, she reminded him, tactfully.
 You didn't drag me about like this last spring." he growled. ''I tell you don't care what you buy. won't gc with you"
 "You promised to help me select my winter cloak. You know want it to- to please you"
 70, hang itl Anything will please me. You bought winter cloaks long enough without my assistance. T."
 Here one of the flower boys thrust { bunch of yellow roses in front of tho scowling face and shouted: Roses roses, thirty-hve cents bunch"
 "Get out. don't want any," growleG the gentleman.
 Maybe your young lady does," re marked the boy, impertinently.
 And then a curious thing happened For the gentleman suddenly looked at his young lady" and discovered, appar ently, that she was still that. And sh. looked at him with n glance that sht still wished to be. Whereupon roscl were purchased from the impertinen; little boy, and the growler was let meekly away to buy winter cloaks.

my companion was a cloaked and hood ed form curled up in a corner.
 'I am greatly obliged to you, mon- sieur," said, ''for acceding to Mime, Bonapartes request to bear me com pany as far as St. Denis. Perhaps you will and to the obligation by saying to whom am indebted for this kindness. In the hurry of departure, stupidly forgot to ask Mime. la Generale your name"
 Ipaused for reply, and, unless my ears deceived me (the carriage was mal1- ing terrible noise), heard a sup pressed laugh.
 "I beg your pardon, I remarked that had not the pleasure of knowing your name. Mine is Roy" This time my companion did laugh, unmistakably, and, as thought, mock ingly-conduct highly unbecoming an agent secret.
 "You are disposed to be merry, mon- sieur," said, stiffly, "but you will par don me if I say that I really cannot sec"
 Don't you know me?" interrupted the agent secret, now laughing without restraint.
  "You, Julie? Is it possible?" ex- claimed, drawing near to my compan- ion and taking her hand. "You did not know me-" she said, in tone of reproach, but making no at tempt to withdraw her hand. "How could I know you with that hood over your face-let me put it back-and in this darkness?"

"Ah, Julie, if you only knew!" whispered, putting my arm round her waist. "I suppose I owe this pleasure | to Mime. Bonaparte?! "Yes; she came herself to the Abbaye and told me of the danger you were in, and asked me to see you safely out of the | city and bear you company as far as St. Denis. She said it would be much bet ter for you to be accompanied by 8 lady than by gentleman" ''Of course it is, and much pleasanter, | especially when the lady is Mlle Car mine. It was very good of you, Julie, to comply with Mime. Bonaparte's re- | quest. How can I repay you?''

 Think ill of you, dear Julie? I shall think of you with gratitude and re spect all my life"
 And I shall think of you, fear, too Iong. But go away, please; we are ap- preaching the barrier, and you have de ranged my coiffure, Sit as far back as l you can. You must not be seen; and if any questions are asked leave mo to answer. And, now, silence" had hardly obeyed this injunction and retreated into my corner, making myself as invisible as possible, when l I heard a hoarse voice call out:
 ''Stop! Whose carriage is that?'
 "The carriage of Gen. Bonaparte,' ' answered the coachman.
 ''Ah, yes, recognize it. But whom have you inside? The citizen general is on tour of inspection, they say" | 'It is I. What do you want?" said Julie, sharply, letting down the win dow and leaning forward so as to pre- vent me from being seen.
