Trouble Over Photograph GRllery-The
Landlord Can't Get and Can't Give
Possession.
On the Slst OF March the lease exc
cuted by McLain Brothers to the late
]. A. II. Parsons, on the premises long
occupied by him as photograph gal
lery expired. Since Mr.. Parsons death
the business has been conducted by
Mrs Parsons, exacutrix of her hus-
bands estate. j. q. 0'Neil leased the
premises from April l and offered to
buy the equipment OF the gallery,
which offer was refused. When the
lease expired Mrs. Parsons refused to
vacate. After waiting several days Mr..
McIAin had the effects levied on
for arrears Of rent. The constable took
possession, but nothing was removed.
Mr.. Gibson. OF Washington county,
Pa, gave an indemnifying. bond.
The next step WAS to proceed for I'M
lawful detainer. The case was tried on
Saturday to a jury before Squire Cald'
well. Mrs, Parsons set up as defense
that she is doing business in her own
name, not as executrix, and that che
could hold for year from the time she
took charge OF the business, The YER
dict was against her, This morning the
case comes before Judge PAUL on nm
application for all appeal. Meanwhile
Mr.. McLain has not possession OF his
premises aud cannot turn them over to
his new lessee, who has on the ground
ready to install an entire new outfit OF
the latest and most approved photo
graphic appliances. 1t is altogether an
interesting case, and may lead to
further complications.

Crueltics Of Nurses.

Servants employed to look after the
little folks are. as a rule, SO anxious for
their own pleasure that they frequently
slap their charges into submission in
order to be free to gossip with their con-
frercs below stairs. This course of &C
ton usually takes place at bedtime, and
any frolicsomc disposition on the part of
little wide awake is, according to the
personal observation of our informant,
speedily reduced to a condition of sob
bling and sleep, owing to the employment
OF methods known only to these guard
ians of these treasures of the home.
There are other atrocities also practised
on children by their nurses, which SAVIOR
of actual cruelty. If these cases are nu-
meroUs, can it be possible mothers are
unaware of them? Is it that the duties
Of society 50 completely take up both
time and attention that the doings of the
nursery are unknown to the mothers of
the little dwellers therein2 Motherhood
is far nobler office than social leader
ship, and the little souls commended to a
mothers keeping are greater treasuers
than the diamonds that are the envy of
all other women in that circle in which
only the elect move. Therefore these
human jewels should be guarded with a
constant and jealous eye, and their care
takers should be chosen with due regard
to their mental and bodily welfare, in
stead of selected at random simply to get
somebody who will be capable of keeping
the children out of sight and hearing
when company is around, by whatever
means, fair or foul, they choose to en-
ploy. New York Telegram.

A Well Ventilated Tomb,

The most peculiar and eccentric
character that ever lived in Alabama was
Thomas Banks, who died at Montgomery
some time during the year 1890. Ply
sicians say that he would have lived years
longer than he did had it not been for
the fact that he was continually brood
ing over the danger of being buried
alive. He was man of considerable
property, being rated at about 5000, 900,
but to his way of looking at the matter
money could not provide against the
horrors of Il premature burial. Away
back in the '70s he had mausoleum
built in the Montgomery Cemetery, and
directed that he and his only brother
should be laid there together after death.
In 1889 the brother died and was
carefully and tenderly laid away
in one of the inches of the mauso-
leum. After this solemn event Thomas
had his bedroom furniture moved to the
tomb and ever after regularly made his
toilet there. AS mentioned above
Thomas also died in 1890, and now the
two brothers lie within handy reach of
fresh air should either wake from his
dreamless sleep.
The Banks brothers were natives of
North Carolina. and went to Montgomery

According to the Textile Manufactur.
ing World, 272 new mills employing
some 1900 persons, were added in
1892 to the number of textile mills in
the country. Of these se7snty.thrce
were cotton, forty mine wooden, ninety.
three knitting and twenty:onc silk mills,
leaving thirty.six distribute among
other branches, In cotton Massachu-
sets leads with nineteen new mills,
North Carolina follows with sixteen and
South Carolina stands third with eleven.
Illinois and Indiana boast of only one
each. In wooden, also, Massachusetts
leads with eight new mills, Milne follows
with seven and Pennsylvania with six.
But Maine stands first and Pennsylvania
second in number of hands employed.
In knitting Pennsylvania leads with
thirty-two mills, and New York follows
with twenty. The most of these estab.
lishments are small, and are engaged in
producing seamless cotton hosiery.

DR.. Nansen's late lecture before the
British Geographical Society bristled
with ingenious devices for passing away
the time during which he expects to be
ice-bound and to drift with the foes to-
ward the much-sought pole. So many
of these devices are dependent on the
supply Of electric current that henceforth
no well.equipped Arctic expedition will
be considered complete without its
dynamo. It is easy to imagine how
cheering will be the effect of the electric
light on those whose perilous task will
subject them for some months to almost
total darkness. DR.. Nansen's proposed
method of generating electricity is at all
events original, although somewhat de-
ieient in the quality of reliability. He
proposes to have windmill on deck to
drive the dynamo, and when the wind
fails to let his men take turn about at a
"walk -mill," in order to afford them
such salutary exercise as might be in
volved in heaving imaginary anchors. If
this method of generating current should
prove effective it is but natural to be.
lieve that il will hasten the general
adaptation of treadmills in prisons to
the generation of electricity.

An English Court Scandal.

There has been considerable scan
da! recently at the English court in
connection with the apartments
which the Queen places at the dis
Losal of impoverished members of the
aristocracy at several Of the palaces
which are not inhabited by herself,
such as, Tor instance, Kcnsington
palace. st. James palace. and Hamp-
ton Court palace. The Queen has
discovered to her horror that those
recipients Of her bounty have for
some time past been coolly letting
out their rooms and apartments to
whoever was willing to pay for them,
in some cases even to people OF the
most Objectionable character In
fact, they would let them to anybody
who was able to pay the price which
furnished them with the means to
make trip to the continent or to
the seaside. The scandal became all
the greater owing to the fact that
there ae sentlnels on duty at all
these palaces, and that ruardsmen
were thus forced to patrol residences
inhabited by quite the reverse Of
royal-pcop'e, indeed, whom the
Queen would never even have per-
mitted to presentation at heT drawing
rooms, functions to which neariy
everybody of respectable character IS
admitted. Her majesty has now
issued strict order that hentcforth
no apartments in any of her pllac's
