THE QUEENS ROYAL HORSE GUARDS.
Some members of Queen Nictoria's
finest, the Royal Horse Guards, and
other crack regiments that are Eng
lands pride, are to visit America and
give military tournament in October.
They will first be seen at the Madison
Square Garden, New York, but the gi-
gantic troopers, 60 strong, all more than
six feet high and none over 80 years of
age, will be brought out principally for
a proposed grand military tournament
at the Worlds fair. They will be the
finest specimens of British troopers to
be found in the Queens domain. Capt.
w. F. Rawson Turner, who served Is
wears in the Prince of Wales Own. or
the Nineteenth Huzzars, and who is the
director of the English military tourna-.
ment for this country, has full charge; OF
the scheme. 1t is to be a most elabo-
rate and complete affair, and the officials
who have it in charge say that the tour
neys will be the equal if not the supe-
rior of those given in London: The
English soldiers will do their best to
make good the boast so often made on
English soil that the iQueen's finest
haze no rivals.

WOMEN AT THE UNIyERsITY.-The
faculty of the University Of Virginia
has determined to offer helping hand
to aspiring lady students. The lecture
room, however, will not be thrown
open to women. They will not be in
vited to partake of all the privileges of
the institution on footing OF perfect
equality with the male students, but
the step taken is Il distinct advance to-
ward the higher education OF women.
The trustees of this university have
lust announced that hereafter the fac
ulty will be pleased to confer privately
with woman students, TO assign to
them courses of study identical with
those pursued in the class rooms, TO
conduct regular university eXamina-
tions on the courses so pursued and to
award formal certificates Of the grade
of scholarship attained. There is no
provision made for ordinary lectures or
recitations which women can attend, or
for degrees. But this promises to make
tho possession of such certificates by
women no less, but more significant.
1t is easier TO attain I, given degree
of proficiency in course of study when
one enjoys the stimulus of association
with others in the preparation of regu-
larly assigned portions Of the text book
from day to day, and of frequent per-
sonal interviews with professors than
to master the same tasks iM private and
to reach the same result by unaided
self discipline.

On FIRE IN a WELL.-While cE-
gagged in cleaning out well 10 feel
deep. at the car stables of the Fourth
and Eighth streets depot, Philadelphia,
on Friday, William Ryan, aged 30
years, met with frightful accident by
the explosion of a gasoline lamp which
he was using.
RYAN had been lowered into the
we'll with rope around his body, and
by the canting of the pump in the well
the lamp was crushed, causing it to
spring leak. Ryan was hoisted out
of the well, and procuring another
lamp, again descended into the well.
When he reached the cross plank
near the water, which was ten feet
deep, q terrible explosion of the oil
from the first lamp, which was floating
on the surface, took place.
Instinctively he plunged into the
water to extinguish the flames of his
clothing, which had taken fire from
. the explosion. Those at the top of the
well, hearing the explosion and Ryan's
screams. drew him up with the rope,
which fortunately remained securely
about his body. When brought out his
fsce and hands presented a shocking
appearance.
lie was hurried Off to the Episcopal
Hospital, where his burns, were at
tended to by DR.. Ashhurst.

BAD FOR SAM'L OF POSEN.

A Brand New Witness Claims to Have
Seen Him Shoot Officer Grant.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19-The En-
dnainer says the missing witness in the case
of M. B. Curtis, the actor charged with the
killing of Policeman Alexander Grant on
the night of September IL, 1891, has been
found in the person of j. w. Cam, who has
been engaged in business at Fortuna, Hum
boldt county. Cam says that while. going
home that night his attention was attracted
by q scuff1e between the officer aud man
whom he had arrested. Having been an
officer in Idaho, Cam states that he watched
the proceeding with interest, and, being
near by on the opposite side of the street,
was able to distinguish both parties.
As the arrested man persisted in refusing
to accompany the officer the latter placed
his nippers on the right hand and at
tempted to pull the man along. The pris-
oner then reached behind him with his left
hand and, pulling pistol from his pocket,
shot the policeman from across his breast.
AS the officer fell the prisoner shot him
again and then ran. Cam SAYS he did not
tell the police what he had seen, as he had
bought ticket to leave San Francisco on a
steamer the next day, and being short of
funds did not wish to be detained. He as
finally tracked by detectives to Fortuna
and summoned to appear at the second trial
Of Curtis on the Goth inst. Cam, who is
70 years of age, is being Kept secluded by
the detectives.

MOTHERS UP IN ARMS.
They Become Enraged at the Decision of
Judges at a Baby Show.

They Become Enraged at the Decision of
Judges at a Baby Show.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-(Specidll-
Last week baby show was held in Potts
town at which IS babies competed for a
kitchen range. One, child named Schlie-
ter, won this beautiful and appropriate
toy, and now the mothers of the 64
other cherubs are raving and charging at
the judges of the show in manner to put
the widest tiger to shame. They hold that
one OF the judges, man named Mccormick,
from Philadelphia, was an uncle to the
Schlieter child, and that he Influenced his
brother critics unduly.
Mrs. Patrick Sheehan said yesterday that
she had been so confident of her baby win
ming the range, that few DAYS before the
exhibition she sold her old kitchen stove;
afterwards she was compelled to buy back
the stove for a dollar more than she had
sold it for She spoke through tears. Mrs.
John Vigors exhibited an 11-months-
old baby that weighed 26 pounds
and had hair inches long.
This baby conld pronounce elephant" and
other difficult trisyllables with wondIous
facility, and had full set of teeth. The
Schlieter baby, she claimed, was in COM
parison with hers hideous brute. Dozens
of other mothers are equally disappointed
and enraged, and the three judges have with
one voice sworn never to act in so difficult
a capacity again.
