THE WOMAN IN WHITE.
A Young Minister'S Awkward and
Peculiar prelicament.

A Young Minister'S Awkward n
Peculiar Predicament.
NV ~predicament was first awkward,
then foolish, writes the Rev. DIR. Parker
in the Idler. 1T vas all along or a
woman. I may even say a woman
in white" Il was a pale young curate'
then, but of a dissenting type. Twenty
two years of age. Very white In the
face. Dark brown hair enough to fill
a mattress. Very high collars, COM
pared with which MIR. Gladstone's are
mere suggestions. Huge white necker-
chief. Black cloth from top to toe.
l was sent to visit an invalid lady some
where in City road. A total stranger.
Place: A shop. Room: At the tip
top of the house. The last part of the
staircase was exceedingly narrow and
steep the stairs themselves little broad
er than n ladder. Tableau: A lady In
bed, the only occupant of the room; a
young minister, nearly all head and
shirt collar, the rest Of him a mere de
tail; the minister very shy and, as 1t
were, ''struck all Of u heap by the
novelty of his position.
The young minister, nervously shy,
sat down, and the woman In white
breathed a deep sigh. If my mother
| could have spoken to me then, 1t would
have been a comfort. I felt as II up
in the clouds and the ladder had been
| stolen. There was not enough Of me to
break into %persplration, or l should
have broken. 1 know I should. On
this point 1 will brook no contradiction.
There psat. There We're but two. of
us, and oh! 1 felt SO very high up, and
so very far from the police. Even the
street noises seemed to be- in another
world, and that world next but one to
this. The silence was painful. AT
length the young mother, not so very,
very young, perhaps, turned her large
brown eyes upon me in a liked and de
F vouring way, and 1 can tell you what
she said. Shall L? Can you bear 1t? i
/ could not. She said, with malignant
slowness: 600,
IT feel such a strong desire to kill
somebody"
1 was the only ''body" in the room.
| How that young man got out Of the
| chamber I could never tell. He never
revisited it. He vas in the City road
as If by magic. Did he pray with the
woman? Not a word. Or she might
have preyed upon him. :

FOX'S MURDER.

Eau Claire, Wis, June 1.-THE in
quest on the death of Melchior Fox has
been adjourned to next Thursday. Five
tramps have been arrested, but neither
in these arrests o in any other de-
velopments Is there anything tending to
reveal the identity of the murderer.
A curious coincidence is learned. Mrs.
Fox, at the family home in this city,
was startled in her sleep about IL O'Clock
Thursday night, having been awakened,
she thought, by the voice Of her hus-
band calling MARY, Mary" She rose
and for some time could not compose
herself to sleep, and while she finally
decided it was only fancy, her apr"e-
beneion became unbearable during the
following day. According to the post
mortem indications it was probably about
midnight that Melchior Fox's death
struggle took place in the lonely cottage.

Mr.. Stend's Idea OF Uniting the
Abodes of Spinsters N Bachelors.
The creation of cooperative homes
for bachelors and cooperative homes
for spinsters in London has been fol-
lowed by such brisk demand for the ad-
yantages these establishments offer that
their success is assured, says the New
York Sun. And now Mr.. Stead with
his habitual courage, comes forward
with the original idea that the bachelors
and spinsters should combine their
housekeeping arrangements. Instead OF
the modern monasteries n nunneries,
such as Toynbee hall and Chimes street
chambers; or in addition to them, Mr..
Stead recommends homes for forni-
lies of young persons Of both sexes
might live together always, with an
experienced lady housekeeper at the
head, or perhaps a married couple with
not more than n or two children.
There should be common dining and
drawing rooms, but each tenant should
have his or her private room or rooms.
And he adds that Mrs. Grundy would
have no more reason to be shocked ut
his "Co-operative Homes for the I'm
married. than she now has ut the ordi-
nary boarding house-which Is true
enough.
The idea is that unmarried profession
al men and. women see too little OF
each other in the relations Of ordinary
friendly intercourse. The boys are sent
to n school. the girls to another; the
literary men have their authors club,
the women their writer's club; among
the artists the men have their societies;
the English woman artists have none
as vet. Men are the heirs to the ideas
Of all the ages in most professions,
while socially men are more adyan.
tageously placed than women. It is not
= carayansary, but rather a community
which M. stead recommends. The dif-
fic1,lty viii be In the selection Of, groups
whose tastes IRE congenial among the
thousands OF minated persons OF bot1
sexes who live in boarding houses. For
though Mr.. Stead says that ''the mos
aceravating OF human beings IS less
avn than solitude" few people. ~
acree with him who have endured tne
enforced companionnship OF an unc On
genial soul.

Guilty was his plea when arraigned by
Clerk Potts.
This man is one of the strikers" said
Policeman Huber. He tackled one of the con-
ductors and drivers at 18th and G streets and
was very dIsorderly."
Then it is not an ordinary case?" queried
the judge.
There was a large crowd attracted to the
car" responded the officer, land the prisoner
was half drunk"
The driver of the car was then called and he
told the judge of what occurred last night The
trouble, he said. occurred on the 7:O4 trip, when
Wyles came up and asked: Are you going to
run this carr
Il am" replied witness.
''Iou are not" the prisoner said. at the
same time INDUCING In a volume OF profanity.
Witness told the striker that he could not
ride on the car unless he behaved himself, and
when he became disorderly witness went for an
officer, and before he returned Wyles struck
the conductor. Witness said that Wyies made
use of threatening language.

him."
Judge Kimball said that this was not an ordi-
nary case. This is a free country. and a man
can work or refuse to work, az he pleases.
But" said the judge ''you have no right to
stop others. If you are badly treated the senti-
ment of the community will sustain you but in
endeavoring to accomplish something in con-
nection with your labor You have got to behave
yourself"
