Think They Were Chlororormed.

PoUGHKEEPs1E, N. Y, April 7.-While Mrs. John Burke of Wappinger's Falls was sleeping, burglar entered her bed room and stole 8 gold watch and other valuables. Mrs. Burke lives with her sister-in-law, Mrs. George Smith, on the outskirts of the village. The burglar also took Mrs. Smiths pocketboOk, con taining nearly $50 in money, and papers. Burnt matches were found scattered about on the floor, the intruder probably having made himself at home. The women think they were chloroformed, but there is no good evidence of this. There is no clue to the burglar.

The light was warm and sultry; the doors and windows of the great military hospital at Fredericksburg stood wide open, while within, fitting about with noisclcss steps, moved ever to and fro a little army of noble women, for the most part members and employees of the Sanitary and Christian associations and all alike actuated by n spirit of tender love and charity.
 On one of the hundreds of small cots lay fair-faced, beautiful youth, a mere boy in years, moaning restlessly in the delirium of wound fever, and over him bent, with gentle touch and soothing words, a pitying angel in the shape of a slender, dark-haired girl nurse, who looked no older than he.
 The young lady had but lately joined the devoted band, whose self-sacrifcing hcroism will be told in story and i'm mortalized in soul-inspiring song so long as our country shall endure, and to her had been assigned the care of this one patient only.
 All unused to scenes of suffering, the girls tears dropped fast as she laid the cool, wet cloths upon the boys burning forehead or held the refreshing draught to his parched lips, while over and over again she softly murmured: "Oh, if he ,ould but tell me his name, so that l

TO TEST ITS LEGALITY.
President Mccall Will Not Permit MI
 Beers to Draw Ills Pension.

President Mccall Will Not Permit MT.
 Beers to Draw Ills Pension.
 NEW YORK, April :. 7.-Although an an nual pension of $37, 500 was voted to William II. Beers when he retired from the presidency of the New York Life In surance Company by the trustees of the company, and a contract to that effect between him and the company was duly executed, he has not yet drawn any part of the pension and will not be permitted to draw any by his successor, President John A. Mccall, until the contract has been established in the courts as binding upon the company.
 President Mccall said that he was not a member of the board of trustees when the pension was voted to MT. Beers and the contract agreed to. If he had been he would not have voted for it. He said no money would be paid to MT. Beers un- til the courts declared the contract valid.

RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN,.
The Big Democratic RegIstratiOn Over-
 come by StaY-at-Home Yoters.

Ihe hIB D6mOcrAC1c NeR1sCratAOn OVer-
 come by Stay-at-HOme Voters.
 PROVIDENCE. R. l., April I'D. Russell Brown, Republican candidate for Cover nor, has plurality, and the next Legis- lature will be Republican.
 The vote was as follows: Brown (Rep.l 2S, 1S7; Wardwell Oem.), 22,O72; Gilbert Pro.l 1,4l1; Burton (People's), 176; Browns plurality, 1,115.
 It requires ffty-four members of the Legislature to elect on joint ballot, and the Republicans have at present fifty-one with every probability of having elected six more.
 The city of Providence went Demo- cratic by about 400 majority. Pawtucket was carried by the Democrats by about 100, and Woonsocket by litele less.
 The vote boiled was the largest in the State. The town of Lincoln elected six Republican Asssnblymen, thus insuring the Republicans at least fifty-seven votes on joint ballot and giving them control.
 The Republican State ticket will be chosen by the Legislature, and Nelson w. Aldrich will be returned to the United States Senate.
 The Democrats made Legislative gains in several towns, but the result is a sur prise to the Democrats.
 The ordinary stay -at-home voters came out and overcame the heavy Democratic registration.

ASSAULTED IN A GAR
Another Illustration of the
 Compartment System.
A GIRL IN A VILLAINS POWER.
Passengers Aroused by Hearing Her shrieks
 for Help From FOOtboard.

Her AssaiIant Followed Her and Leaped
 on the TraIn-NO Trace of Hlm Could
 be Found by the POlice-The Girl Was
 Only 13 Years old-It iS Believed There
 Will be General Adoption of Aloeri-
 can Cars on English Railways.
 LONDON, April 7.-Another compart- ment outrage occurred yesterday morn ing on a train bound for Ruabon, De- nolghshire. Passengers were aroused by hearing cries and shrieks for help from the footboard of one of the compart- ments.
 When they looked out of the windows they saw a young girl standing on the footboard and clinging to the handrail of the carriage.
 The girl had presence of mind enough to make her way to the next compart- ment, where she was helped in. There, as soon as she could be calmed, she told her story.
 She was but 13 years of age, and had been alone in the compartment with a man she did not know. The man spoke to her and at last made improper ad- vances She tried to repel him, where upon he assaulted her. When he let her go she dashed out of the carriage to the footboard and shriek- ed for help. Her assailant being fright ened, followed her to the footboard and leaped from the train, evidently fearing arrest.
 The police were notified at the next station, and hurried to where the man was supposed to have left the train. He had evidently got away safely, as no | signs of him were visible. This new instance of an outrage in a railway carriage compartment will, it is believed, hasten the general adoption of | the American railway carriages, oe which several are already in use in Eng land.
 It was only a few days ago that John Goodall. an Evangelist, was sentenced | at the Staffordshire Assizes to twoyears' imprisonment for Rssaulting Mrs. Mary Siddals in compartment of a car on the Midland Railway. Mrs. Siddals jumpe d from the train and was very badly in | jured.
 Another victim of the compartment system is Miss Went, who some time ago was taken GO the Guilford Hospital suf- | fering from concussion of the brain sus- | tained in falling from & train. During brief period of consciousness | she stated that as the train on whicA she was travelling was moving out of Woking station on it's way to Aldershot, a man | jumped into the compartment she occu- l pied and attempted. to assault her. She was crazy with fear, and jumping from | the carriage she fell heavily upon her head. Her assailant was never caught.

A SENSATION NIPPED.
Happy Termination Of a Breach of
 Promise Suit.

Happy Termination of a Breach of
 Promise Suit.
 KINGSTON, N. Y., April Miss Eliza Wager, of High Falls, this county, and w. Irving Bray, the principal of the Montrose, Westchester County, high school, have become man and wife, and thus a sensational action for breach of promise has been nipped at the outset.
 Miss Wager, who is the daughter of 8 well-to-do and prominent farmer residing about fifteen miles from this city, re- tained as counsel Judge A. T. Clearwater, and commenced an action for $25, 900 damages.
 The judge has been absent from his home since Monday, and on his return was agreeably surprised to find letter awaiting him from Miss Wager, in which she says that on Saturday evening last Principal Bray, her affianced, and she made up their differences and were hap oily welded. The letter stated that they both united in extending the judge sincere thanks for having thus brought them together.
 Judge Clearwater says he prefers the happy termination of the action to the recovery of any amount of damages.

MARRYING TITLES.
tt Is & Risky Business as We'll as an Ex
 nenSiVe One.

Gt Is 6 Risky Business as We'll as an Ez-
 pensive One.
 If an American widow or mad chooses to take her millions and lay them down on foreign soil in exchange for a title, there surely should be no objection to her doing so. If this is the free country which it claims to be, any interference with "liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is clearly uncon- stitutional. Of course, there is a great risk to run. American girls are not brought up in foreign ways, and alli- ances of this sort are almost always inharmonious; but that is or should be so well understood, that it Is part of the contract and a natural consequence of such an arrangement. Therefore, if my lady finds herself black and blue from the too. too material chldings of her lord and master, let her not be rebellious, but accept stripes as part of her bargain. As she has sold herself for title, let her title console her in her trials.
 While there are, possibly, some happy and harmonious relations between American girls and titled foreigners, the number is very small as compared WlGn GuOSc CIlaU out QlSdSUTlOuSlY to the woman in the case.
 Especially is this true of marriages with titled Frenchmen and Italians. The constitution of society in those countries is so unlike ours, and the position of women differs so greatly from that to which American women are accustomed. that half lifetime is not too long to learn to adjust oneself to such changed conditions.
 In defense of the women, it is said that those who marry titled foreigners have live abroad long enough to be- come acquainted with foreign ways and foreign men. But this is scarcely possible unless they have lived in those countries and beer part and parcel of the family life and even then it is difficult to learn tho undercurrents of society SO diamet rically opposite to ours in many par ticulars.
 If happiness is the object in life, as il seems to be to many persons, then il should be sought where individual fancy directs. What is the highest ha2pines! to some is the greatest misery to others Therefore it may be said that if tht American girl finds title m the bright est day-dreams of her life, let her buy it if she has the money to do so. Bu having done this, and taken with tht title the various peculiarities and eccen tricities of the foreign nObleman, le her seek consolation in the fact tha she has got what she paid for. ant should take the consequences "lilxe little man."-N. Y. Ledger.

SHALL THE FAIR CLOSE SUNDAY
Arguments by Col. Shepard and Rev. Dr.
 Knowles of New York.


 Knowles of New York.
 WASHINGTON, April 7..-The House Committee on the Worlds Fair heard arguments relative to closing the Expo sition on Sunday.
 Col. Elliott F. Shepard of New York spoke in support of the various petitions for closing on Sunday and requested the committee to shape its legislation relative to the Exposition so that the doors of the Fair should be closed on the Sabbath. Mir. Shcpard's time expired before he had finished his remarks and he concluded with request for future hearing.
 Dr. Knowles of New York, member of the American Sabbath Union followed MT. Shepard in support of the proposition to close the fair on Sunday. He had re- ceived, he said, petitions memorializing closing the fair on Sunday. These con tained about 2,000, 900 names. Their ob ject, said Dr. Knowles, was to preserve the Sabbath as 8 day of rest. The State of New York, he said, in making an ap- propriation for an exhibit at the eXposi- tion had attached to it a provision requir ing the exhibit to be closed on Sunday.
 Mir. Caruth of Kentucky, 8 member of the Committee, asked if New York was the only State which had made provis- ion of this kind. Dr. Knowles replied that he understood that it was, but he understood New Jersey, Massachusetts, | Kentucky and othe~ States were going to fall into line. The Association he repre- sented desired Congress to attach such 8 provision to any appropriation they | might make, for the fair.

THAT EXQUISITE sxIN.e

-
"How do you do it?" was the en-
thusiastic greeting of worried look
ing woman to an acquaintance whose
complexion was a thing, or a con-
dition, for which queens would ex-
change their crowns.
"Mercy on us, what do you mean?"
was the reply.
90, mean that exquisite skim"
said the worried one with look of
despair, obviously comparing her
own wretched face with the radiant
glory of the other woman.
"Well, DEAR" said the lovely wo-
man, pityingly, yet with kind of
superior and self-congratulatory
manner, 81 have tried about all the
beautifYers that ever tormented
womankind, and, to tell the truth, /
really do not know just how it was
done. The right thing for me may
not be the right thing for you, but l
have learned that changing from one
thing to another and never pursuing
any one course to its legitimate con-
clusion is bad-very bad. For a
year now / have kept to one plan,
and (again that involuntary look of
compassion) it's a simple one too"
"Do tell me what it is and I'll go
through fire, if necessary, to get all
the good there is in it, said the ques-
toner.
"Well, then, every night on retir.
ing splash my neck and face with
tepid water, softened with handful
of oatmeal. When I get up in the
morning battle the face in cold
water and rub it for five minutes
with piece of soft white flannel
enough TO arouse sufficient friction to
be visible, but taking care not to rub
hard enough to produce roughness or
a burning sensation. 1 find that
my face gets Enthusiastically dirty, so
two or three times week l wash it
thoroughly in pint of very hot
water, to which has been added a
tablespoonful of powdered borax and
a half pint of alcohol. Beyond these
local applications am good exer-
ciser. The open air, brisk walking
and intelligent Diet after all do more
for the complexion than all other de-
vices under the sun. Avoid pastry,
eat no bread but that which is made
of unbolted wheat, keep the pores
open, and always remember that
friction is essential to a healthy
skin"
The worried woman said, "Thanks,
DEAR" and turned away with look
of determination in her eyes that

that bad complexion of hers.-De-
