Tn. Body of Miss Sutton Brought Home.

M. b. Sutton, of Bellaire, arrived
from Baersville yesterday morning With
the body OF his daughter, Jennie SUIT
ton, who committed suicide on the
night Of March Goth, by jumping from
the ferryboat Charon into the river The
body was so badly decomposed that it
was beyond recognition; bat there could
be no mistake as to the clothes, shoes
and fuger-ring. The remains were taken
to the old home at Glencoe for burial
yesterday forenoon. While the unfor-
tunate girl was afflicted with a heredi-
tary aimeDt OF fits, from early child
hood, water had a strange infatuation
for her. Several times she had spoken
OF drowning herself, and it was difficult
for her to refrain from jumping into a
body of water while crossing streah.

eminent is an absolute despotism, tenn
pered a little by assassination. A father
has the power of life md death over his

power over his subjects, and the king has
it over all. The women of the kings
household manage by intrigue, and rival
parties try conclusions by assassination.
The latest event to excite the Kingdom was
an attempt to blow up the kings father,
Prince T~ai-won-kun. Three cases of gun
powder, weighing fourteen pounds each,
were placed and one exploded in his palace.

This act is ascribed to the Mings, the
powerful family to which the queen be-
longs. They had for some time ruled the
country, but the kings father proved too
talented for them. He is quite a clever
old gentleman, according to Mr.. II. Saw

foreigners allowed to travel through the

otherwise, which brought on trouble with
the United States, China and Japan.

Who Will Succeed Hiscock as New York's
Senators?
"Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away' after the election the Demo-
Gratis are excited over the vast political in
heritance they have come into. 1t is po-
litically the discovery of CALIFORNIA; mines
over again. 1t is the first time in thirty
four years that all is theirs, and there are
secretaryships and postofices. foreign mis-
sions, marshalships and clerkships, collec-
torships and all other good ships galore.
Never in the political history of this or
probably of any other nation did so rich a
field await the victors.
First to be considered are the new United
States senators. and of these that of New
York is by far the most important. Many
are spoken of, but three men are especially
prominent as candidates. OF these Carl
Schurz is best known, but the practical
politicians say that he is only spoken of
not really in it. No living American has
had a more diversified career. Student at
Bonn at seventeen, editor of a revolution
airy paper at nineteen, a soldier among the
lnsurrectionists at twenty and an exile at
twenty-one. he next electrified the liberal
world by his heroic rescue of his preceptor,
DR.. kinkel.
After two years as a teacher and writer
in France and England he came to the
United States in 1852, was an original Re-
publican, and then advanced radical, law
yer, lecturer, minister to Spain, soldier
n United States senator in rapid success
sion. He next figured as a 'kicker," then
as secretary of the interior, and again as
editor and steamship manager. He is usu-
ally thought of as ex-senator from Mis-
souri,, but has lived in New York city the
past twelve years. With all these expe-
riences he is only sixty-three years old and
in firm health.
Another candidate who is .spoken of
is Smith N. Weed, of Plattsburg, who ex-
pected the senatorship which David b.
Hill got. He is an iron manufacturer and
a railroad man, a moderate protectionist
and a veteran in politics. He was born in
Franklin county, N. Y, July &c, 1888, and
bears his age remarkably we'll. He is a

THE WORLDS FAIR
SOME OF THE FEATURES THAT ARE
TO BE OF INTEREST.
A German Village That viii Bc One of
the Great AttractioMs-Tho Festival
Hall-A Vast Hotel Specially Put Up
for Christian Endenvorers.

AS the days go by Biela's comet is whirl-
ing on nearer II nearer to the earth, and
at the same time the various projects of
the Worlds fair are also whirling along.
The comet will soon be n conspicuous OBJ
ject in the skies, and about the same time
the exhibition buildings will also be OH
view. Indeed, if the fiery monster of the
skies cares to come this way, it might find
q resting place in Jackson park and pose
IS n Of the attractions.
The structures now in progress of crea-
tion involve all sorts and styles of archi-
lecture, but perhaps the most interesting
is that which will stand OF the Midway
plaisance, and which will represent Il typ
ical German village. 1t is intended chiefly
for the pleasure and comfort of Germans
and German-Americans, although any WIS.,
itor to the grounds will be welcome, and
its erection has the sanction of Emperor
William, who has also granted it's promot-
ers the privilege of selecting two crack
military bands from the imperial army to
furnish the music.
The project includes the display of an
old time fair, two restaurants, a German
concert garden, Il water tower and an
chronological museum. This reproduction
of German life will be the Mecca of Teutonic
citizens. The language of the fatherland
will be the exclusive means of intercourse,
and the atmosphere will be filled with the
strains of "Wacht am Rhein."
The original plan was the reproduction
of a complete German city of the Middle
Ages, but through lack of time it was con-
cluded to build a German village, repre-
senting a period at which rural life at
tanned it's highest exemplification in the
year 1900.
In the center of a plat US feet long there
will rise a castle, built in the style of the
Sixteenth century, surrounded by a moat
sixteen feet wide, behind which, for
further protection, palisades will be con-
structed. Over a drawbridge the road
will lead through a massive sandstone
gateway into the interior of the building. In
the halls, rooms and salons will be found
the most famous collection of weapons in
Germany.
In the principal hall there will be a fine
exhibition of German IT. and in the chapel
OF the castle a prehistc rio collection will be
placed. On leaving this spot visitors will
u to the right and enter an ideal Ger
man village, of which the principal feature
is the town hall.
The several ~farmhouses represent the diff
ferent provinces of old Germany-the Ale
manic, Westphalic, Wendic and other
styles. The town hall will be used as a

GIVEN A MEDAL OF HONOR.
A vermonter Who Became q General and
Earned His Country's Gratitude.

Earned His COuntry's Gratitude.
Brigadier General Stephen NJ. Thomas,
of Montpelier, VT, who has recently been
awarded a medal of honor by the war de-
partment, is an individual type of the
soldier.
The history of General Thomas is not
only remarkable, but of unusual interest.
He vas born at Bethel, VT, Dec. 6, 1909,
where he passed his earlier years. After
receiving a common school education he
learned the wooden manufacturing bust
ness. He served in the legislature in
1889 and 1856, and in 1874 and 1851 he
was a delegate to the state constitutional
convention. During this period General
Thomas was q state senator and register
of the probate court of Orange county, vt.
From 1s47 to 1s49 he was probate Judge.
When the civil war broke out it at once
enlisted his interest, and Nov. 12, 1861, he
was appointed a colonel of volunteers. He
at once enlisted a regiment of infantry and
two battalions. He entered the service of
his country at the age of fifty-three, being
mustered in Jan. 81, 1862. in command of
the Eighth Vermont regiment. General
Thomas had over three years of hard and
almost constant fighting, and left the serv-
ice Aug. "a, 1866. having been commits
stoned brigadier general the previous Feb
ruary.
In 1878 he was lieutenant governor of
Vermont, and from 1870 to 1877 he was
United States pension agent.
In 1877 General Thomas left Washing
ton, VT, where he had been living, and
moved to Montpelier. His friends urged
him to retire from active life, but al
though he wa sixty-eight years old and
carried southern bullets in his body he re-

FESTIVAL HALL.

museum n contain a number of farm
house rooms completely Furnished; also an
ancient saloon with u bar of the style of
1870, original in all it's details and especial
ly prominent by its rich wood carving or
naments on the ceiling.
The most striking effect will be attained
by wax figures furnished by Messrs. Cas-
tan, the famous directors of the Panopti-
cum at Berlin. In the village will be imi-
tated a country fair under the protection
of Roland, a colossal figure in stone. The
figure will stand directly in front of the
town hall, a symbol of free commercial in
tercourse and supreme criminal jurisdic-
ton and the palladium of civic liberty. In
his left hand the giant will bear a shield
with the imperial eagle, and a naked
sword in his right, while the head and
hand of a criminal at his feet indicate the
extent of the municipal jurisdiction.
Material for the structure has already
begun to arrive. 1t will be erected by Carl
Hoffacker, of Berlin, and Philip Holtzman,
of Frankfort-on-the-Main.
Another attraction will be Festival hall,
where many musical societies will assem-
BILE during the exposition and give con-
certs. Plans have already been prepared
by the architect. AS first designed this
building would have cost $500, 900, but the
designs were modified in many ways, and
now the hall will be built at an outlay of
little more than 100000. The style of the
building is Doric. In form it resembles an
amphitheater surmounted by u dome. It's
outline is almost circular, with porticoes
projecting from four sides. The hall is to
be built near the lagoon, between Trans
portation and Manufactures halls. One

forms the principal entrance to Festival
hall. Fluted Doric columns, six feet in
diameter, are arranged on either side of
the entrance. From the portico facing the
lagoon a flight of steps leads, at the bot
tom of which will stand two statues of
Handel and neutrality-suspicious. of cele.
brated marbles.

Max Maretzck Tells How h Made Her
Debut.
Especial Correspondence
OMAHA, Nov. 22.-The manager under
whom Nine. Patti made her first public
appearance says that interesting event took
place but a few months short of forty years
ago. The man in question is Max Maret-
EEK, whose name is not a familiar one now,
but for nearly n third of n century he WINS
one of the best known imprcsarios in
America, and managed the tours Of many
of the famous singers of other days.
Twelve years ago he abandoned hazardous
o%peratic ventures and settled down as a
private musical instructor. He continues
to enjoy the friendship of the diva, and is
not averse to relating the circumstances
under which she made her debut.
ut occurred in the spring of 1885," he
said to me in a recent interview in this
city, "the year following the advent of
Jenny Lind in America. At the time I
was conducting the Italian Opera company
in New York, among whose members were
the father, mother, brother and sister Of
Patti. One day. they brought the little
girl to me to try her voice. They said she
was eight years old, but remember think
ing at the time that she was ten. From
that" s%milingly, "you can figure the
madame's age pretty accurately, but as she
doesn't deny her age l don't think she will
mind my telling this.
1.-THE little girl sang by ear, but she had
a voice which was notable even at that
early age. Her songs were mostly popular
airs of the day, and several of the Swedish
melodies made familiar by Jenny Lind.
Our company was giving three operas and
one concert each week, and l asked the fu-
ture diva if she wanted to sing in the con-
cert the following week.
"'Yes, sir. What will you give me?' was
her answer, showing, rs l have often
thought since, that the business instinct
was developed in her earliest youth.
"I will give you that much c%andy,'I
answered, drawing a finger around the
edge of the sweatband in my inverted hat.
"She expressed herself as satisfied, and
she being a child I of course straightway
forgot the pledge, though / intended to
make her a little present Of some kind.
The concerts were given at the old Trip
pier hall, On Broadway, opposite Bond
street, and next door to the Central hotel.
When it came PATHS u to go upon the
stage she asked for the candy. 1 told her
I had nom and urged her to sing, but she
insisted on having her confectionery. 1
next promised to go out and get som
while she sang, but she declined that ar
rangement. 1t was late in the evening,
and I knew not where to find candy at that
hour within convenient distance of the
hall, and SO, in desperation, I ran into the
hotel and asked the cook for some. The
cook had none, but suggested offering
some little cakes, lady fingers and others
with frosting. These satisfied the child,
and she went on with her part. She sang
several Swedish songs and made a very
favorable impression. Every time Nine.
Patti visits America we talk over that ex-
perience, and she always laughs heartily
over t." FRED BENZINGER,

fused to act on the advice. He continued
to carry on his large farm in Washington;
but, wishing a more active life, after a
time he organized the United States
Clothespin company in 1887 and accepted
the office of president. He has held the
office since and has so directed the affairs
of the company that it has been very sue
cessful. General Thomas, at the age of
eighty-three, can be seen any day on the
streets of Montpelier. He carries a cane,
but really uses it very little, being hale
and hearty and not looking ovee sixty
years old. He is pleasant and genial and
immensely popular with the people, and is
considered by the old soldiers a necessary
adjunct to every campfire and other jollif-
cation.
The medal of honor which General
Thomas has just received was presented
for distinguished conduct at the battle
Of Cedar Creek Oct. 10, 1884," At Cedar
Creek, after the rout of a large portion of
the corps, to him was given the periious
duty of resisting the Confederate advance
while the Union lines were being formed

DANCING DRESS AND soRr1E DU BAL.

DANCING DRESS n sORTIE DU BAL.
It would seem as If we had entered by
some occult manner the last century, and
one rubs ones eyes to make sure that there
has not been some magic by which we are
all living under the Emperor Napoleon in
stead of the year of 1892. But the modern
ideas that creep in with the ancient styles
adapt them to our day. There is one COM
fort about the new empire gowns, and that
is that with the addition of exaggerated
lapels and shortened waists old gowns can
be made new. Nearly all of the skirts are
now fastened outside of the waist, and the
SASH or belt, or whatever other garnituro
there may be about the waist, hides the
joining place, and thus q corsape NAV be
shortened at will.
On a recent reception day I think out of
q hundred women present there were at
least fifty who had more or less of the en-
pire about their gowns, and some that be-
long to a style that must be prehistoric, as
it has certainly never before been seen on
land or sea. I notice, though, some very
novel effects achieved by adopting differ
ent ideas to one costume. For instance,
there was a lady in a lovely Quaker drab
cloth, soft and fine. Around the bottom
were laid sevea fiat bias plaits in varying
widths. Thu corsage was perfectly smooth
and without darts of side forms.
Around the neck were laid five more,
perfectly fiat and without a wrinkle. The
sleeves were regular gigot, and there was
Q ruby velvet vest, with a wide fur collar,
Two buttons covered with velvet held the
vest together. With this was worn a drab
felt hat, with two very stiff loops and a
fancy feather. Buttons are very frequent
" covered with the material of the gar
ment, and are very large. The skirt has
the cornet plat in the back, which is now
much more popular than the fiat under
plaits.
Another very striking garment was a
black velvet coat that reached to the
ground, and cut in plain, graceful style.
entirely without ornament. 1t wa lined
