An Excellent Plan.

CHICAGO members of the board Of
lady managers of the Columbian expo
sition have formed stock company,
called the Woman's Dormitory. associa-
ton. for the purpose of providing mex
pensive accommodations for women
visitors at the worlds fair. The CAPT.
tai stock is $3.50. 900, in shares of ten
dollars, possession of which entities the
holder to lodging at the rate Of forty
cents day for twenty-five days at any
dormitory Of the association provided
due notice has been given Of the
time when such accommodation is de-
sired, and shares will be received for
their face value in payment for such
lodgings. The shares are made trans
ferable so that the holder need not
stay longer than she wants to. The
plan is thought to be an excellent one
and it will doubtless enable many to
visit the great fair who otherwise
could not attend. The lady managers
have the project in hand, and all par
ticulars will be freely furnished from
headquarters.

Allies OF Crime.

In the month of June last some
thousands Of young lawyers were grad
uated in the various law schools of the
country. Nearly all of them began to
practice, in some shape, at once. just
before the time for the graduation pro-
ceedings at the schools, the court Of ap-
peal of New York state was pronounc-
ing decision which should have been
read carefully by all these young law
we'll The decision was in the case of
a murderer who had been convicted two
years before and condemned to death.
The case had been twice brought be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States, and three times before the court
of appeal of the state of New York.
The court of appeal, as the result of
this third resort to 1t In the case Of
man long before condemned to death,
denied the motion for q rehearing, and
rebuked the means which had been used
to prevent the original sentence from
being carried out. The court declared
that when every opportunity had been

defense, and his conviction had been
confirmed by the highest court, the con-
test should be at an end. The forms of
law should not be used to subvert the
law.
ut ought to be q subject of inquiry"
the court said, whether attorneys and
counsellors by vexatious proceedings
can become the allies of the criminal
classes and the foes of organized society
without exposing themselves to the
disciplinary powers Of the supreme
court"
1t is to be hoped, admonishingly re-
marks Boston contemporary, that this
warning will not be lost upon lawyers
to whom the chief use Of the law Is to
1efeat the law

An Arizona Mystery Solved.

A reasonable solution has at last been
given to the many mysterious happen
ings that have for a long time been re-
ported from what is known as the
Haunted Glen" near Tombstone. The
glen is about seven miles north Of that
city, and has long been looked upon as
one of the greatest natural curiosities
of the continent. One of the most re-
markable things is that when person
lies down in the glen he hears whisper
ing of voices apparently close to his
ear. sometimes he can hear words and
at times get entire sentences. An in
vestigation by scientists has shown that
the apparently mysterious happenings
in the glen are due purely to natural
causes. The peculiar construction Of
the glen brings the sounds from a GER
tain ranch near by into the place in the
shape of whispers, as was proved by
stationing a person at the point indi-
Gated and recording what was said.
The GOODNESS is caused by the fact that
the sun has never shone in the glen,
and the movements of light articles are
caused by the constant rushing of cold
air toward the exterior.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

NAN exchange has been observing
closely and concludes with the follow
ing: "There are great many people
who go to the shore and desire their
names suppressed from the columns of
the newspaper on the grounds that they
wish to hear what the wild waves are
saying and keep it dark secret to their
creditors. When they return with their
facts painted like Pequot Indian, they
will step into the store and tell the pro-
prietor that they will settle that little
bill January 1st. They spent SO much
money with their family at the shore
that they cannot meet it at present. But
to the shore they will go, and they
must also take in the mountains a little
later on"

An AID for the Blind.

Prof. Hall, of the Illinois institute for
the blind, has devised typewriter for
the blind. The size of the machine is
eight by ten inches and five inches high
and weighs nine and one-half pounds.
1t is said to be simple and very strong
and durable. There are but six keys
to manipulate. Dots are made in the
paper as in the Braille system, but with
the machine the letters can be made
very rapidly. To one not accustomed
to teaching the blind or unacquainted
with their efforts at getting an educa-
ton it is impossible to realize the great
advantage this invention will be to that
unfortunate class. Heretofore they
have been able to carry mathematical
calculations only as far as was possible
by a mental process or by the use Of the
"Octagon slate" which has not been
found practicable in this country. Now
they can solve all problems as other
pupils do, and even music Is within
their reach. The rapidity with which
it can be manipulated is surprising. A
pupil who is pianist, after a few
hours practice, wrote a sentence Of six
teen words in seventeen seconds, and a
sentence written at random at the rate
of thirty words minute. 1t would be
safe to assume that with a reasonable
amount of practice q blind person
would readily acquire speed of one
hundred words minute of memorized
matter, or forty to fifty from dictation.
This invention will be of immense ad-
vantage to the blind.

WEST UNION, O., Aug. A bare fist

avenge himself. He subsequently came
to the church with number of friends.
He was warned to leave but refused, and
free fight was the result.

THE worst feature of the Mississippi
floods is the fact that the river is apt
to leave deposit of sand, varying in
thickness from one inch to ten feet,
over a large extent of land that was
formerly fertile. In the flood of 1858
great many farmers in the American
bottom, on going back to their premises
after the subsistence of the waters,
found their property covered with river
sand In beds SO thick that two or three
years elapsed before good crops could
be raised. 1t is yet too early to tell
what will be the result this year, but
the experience of 1853 is apt to be re-
peated in many localities.
