terest. Followers of the so called "manly
art" will remember how, IN the occasion
of his first professional engagement in a
prize ring, he so effectually knocked out
his opponent that he never Game to"
again. Only n few months ago "Swipes''
fell in love with blue eyed Minnie Rosen-
blatt, of New York city. "Swipes" wanted
to marry to girl of his choice, and she was
nothing 10th, but there was an obstacle.
This obstacle revcls in the euphonious
sobriquet of "Yaller Mike" SHERMAN. 1t
was arranged that "Swipes'' and "Yaller'
should fight for Minnie according to the
rules laid down by the late lamented Mar
quis of Queensberry. "Swipes' won, OF
course-he never loses anything-and he
and Minnie were married in November.
But Papa Rosenblatt frowned upon both
matches, the pugilistic as well us the mat
rimonial one, and he would not recognize
the young couple. "Swipes," nothing
daunted, hit upon the happy idea of giving
sparring exhibitions with his young bride.
He instructed her in the art of self de
Tense, and now that she has overcome her
whenever her lords fist starts in her direc
ton she spars exceedingly well.
Mr.. and Mrs. "Swipes" are now doing
their novel act to large audiences in n New
York museum, where the lady, who weighs
but los pounds, is as being
willing to meet all comers." The snakes
the skeletons, the Albinos and the other
standard attractions have sunk into insig.
nificance since the pugilistic couple ap
peared at the museum.

The fashionable tailors sometimes havt
hard lines other than those imposed upon
them by the gilded youths who run up big
bills without the wherewithal to pay.
These makers of fine garments have a nat
ural tendency to array themselves in gor-
geous attire. Being thus trapped out, now
and again one of them takes 1t into his
head to be what is expressively called "a
man about town" Not a season passes
that some one of these, who has taken his
pleasures too wildly, does not come to
grief. And, singularly enough, more fire.
quently than not, they cry out when they
are hurt. The most recent case of the kind
is that of Clarence e. Fairchild. a tailor of
New York, who has his home in Bridge
port, Conn. Recently he took a flat in
Eighty-fourth street, furnished it and in
stalled as his ho~usekeeper a pretty girl of
seventeen, Miss Daisy Burt. two or three
evenings later when he went to his fiat his
h~ousekeeper was gone and also all the fur

Miss Lizette w. Reese, Miss Katha-
rine Pearson Woods and Mrs. Laurence
Turnbull are the three ladies of Balti-
more who have aspired to a seat in the
literary pantheon. The last named
about two years ago made her debut
as an author with "a Catholic Man." a
novel that received the favorable notice
of the critics. She has also written nu-
merous articles and special papers" for
reading before literary circles. Rumor
states that her ambition is far from be-
ing satisfied, and that she intends pro-
ducing more earnest work. Her social
duties-for she is a leader of society
and the care of her three pretty children
have, however, engrossed most of her
time, though she virtually established
the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore.
of which she is president, and some
monthly meetings of which have been
held in her lovely home at 1880 Park av-
enue, fronting Beethoven terrace. Her
husband is n lawyer.
Miss Woods, who comes from an
honored ancestry, is at present engaged
upon a work which depicts the abuses
under which the laboring class suffer,
though it cannot be regarded as one of
socialistic theories, as were her first
novel, "Metzerott, Shoemaker" and its
immediate successor, 1.-The Mark of the
Beast" Her last volume, "a Web of
Gold" received much attention.
Miss Woods was for several years a
teacher in the schools of Wheeling, and
the ample opportunities afforded her to
study the methods, the ways and the
lives of the w~orkinpmen and women in
the great nail shops, rolling mills and
furnaces of that wide awake city led
her to investigate and her write upon a
theme that inspires her whole being.
Miss Reese is locally well known as
one of the most efficient primary teach
ers in the public schools of Baltimore.
She was born just outside the present
limits. She has been making rhymes
since babyhood. The announcement was
recently made by the Boston publishers
of "Handful of Lavender" poems by
Lizette Woodwork Reese. The book
contains about seventy poems. This
volume includes the old poems in her
first book, "a Branch of May" which
was a noted success, and some forty odd
new ones
She expects in the near future to
write and issue under one cover a half
dozen stories dealing with western
Maryland, a region peculiarly rich in
historical and poetical legends. Some
of these stories nave lately been fin
ished. The collected sketches will be
published under the title of "Green
Meadows"

She is one of the youngest of Ameri-
can writers, her first published article
appearing in 1888. 1t Yas called "Ten-
nyson's Idyls: Their Source and Signifi-
canoe" This was followed by Betty, v
a last century love story, in The Cosmo-
politan for December, 1889, which was
also issued in book form. From time to
time other sketches and stories have APP
peared in different periodicals., Society
Women in Fiction, in the woman's
number of The Cosmopolitan, being
from her pen. Modestly disclaiming
the title of poet, she has written verses
that are sweet and natural.
An ardent lover of outdoor life, her
summers are spent in the country towns
of Maryland, especially at the old fam
lily plantation on the Eastern Shore. She
is a good horsewoman, spending much
time in the saddle when in the country.

fashionable northwest of Washington.

him, she decided to write him, excusing
herself by saying that her course was not
unprecedented. The old man answered
her. He said he thought he could support
a lady; that he could make her happy and
that she should strive to do the same fol
him.
Mrs. Johnson's letter was written on the
10th of July, 1890. The long and tender cor
~respondence following was devoted large
ly TO n meeting and a buggy rid that
Farmer Mcdonald had proposed. 81 en-
joy trips of that kind" she said with a
maidenly touch, Just as well as | did in
my teens"
For some reason the farmer became shy
of the meeting and ride. But finally, in
November, Mrs. johnson succeeded in
making him keep his promise. Although
he said during the rid that he was too old
to love, and she had declared that she did
not believe in love at first sight, both were
smitten. When he got home he wrote hel
"a letter telling her how much he loved
her. In her reply she accused him of in
co%nstancy. "Oh, you naughty, naughty
fraudV' she said, adding farther on in a
more serious vein, "'Tis sweet to love and
be loved, but nothing short of that can
ever bring happiness" Later came a pro-
posal of marriage from the farmer. 1t
was OF course accepted. But IL dld not
make things altogether satisfactory. She
wanted something more than her lovers
verbal promise. In reply he wrote, II nave
never given but one pledge, and don't
think that any other should be required of
n gentleman of honor having no incum-
brance of any kind"
He then told her how he would like to
live-"have lots of fun, laugh all we can
and keep sunshine in our hearts"
But this dream was not to be realized.
One reason was his attentions to other
women. His devotion to Mrs. Margaret
Briggs, a widow of Logansport, enabled
her to bring suit for breach of promise and
to get $500 in settlement. Another reason
was his growing distrust of Mrs. Johnson's
power to make him happy. On July IA.
1891, he wrote his last letter, saying, 81
must say that | could love and protect you
as my cherished wife out for misgivings
as to your disposition" Mrs. johnson ac-
cepted this as n final refusal to keep his
engagement. She at once brought suit
for $4,000 damages. The trial, which has
just been concluded, attracted much at
tcntion and resulted in a $1,000 verdict for

pit orator. II would seem hat n man so
lavishly equipped by nature for the strug-
gle with the world ought to make a bril-
liant success.
And Prather did succeed wonderfully
well as long ms he continued to walk the
straight and narrow path" His %"silver
tongue" aided him in making many con-
verts at the different r~evivals which he
conducted. Churches whose financial con-
dition was deplorably weak before his ad-
vent had their Affairs Strengthened out.
Congregations always increased in num-
bers and influence under his ministrations,
and the Cumberland Presbyterian church
was considered to have found n treasure in
the person of Rev. L. l.. Prather.
While conducting n revival Mt New Hol-
land, Ills, he fell in love with the leading
soprano of the choir, and after the usual
courtship was married. His priestly abors
were so successful that life seemed n series
of triumphs and ovations, and he appar-
emily got the impression that, like the
king. he could do no wrong. This caused
his downfall.
The popular minister's first lapse OF
which there is any record occurred at Sui.
Ivan, Ills. Mrs. Prather had gone on a
visit and her husband was left ut home
with nc companion save "A pretty domestic.
Several days later some country folk, hear.
ing groans issuing from the parsonage,
broke open the door. The servant was
found on the floor suffering from the eff
fects of chloroform which she alleged had
been administered by Prather, who soon
after left Sullivan.
While the minister was holding n revival
Mt Bement early last year he wooed a beau
tiful girl, but did not wed her, fortunately,
ms the fact that he was already married be
came known.
Prather is alleged Co have served a short
term in the Albany IN. " penitentiary
for some ofTense committed on IA railroad
train. When summoned before the pres.
bytery he vehemently asserted his limo
cence, but seeing that there was ample
proof he broke down and confessed every
thing. 1t is thought that he is nowv in
Missouri, of which state he is "A native.
