Criticism of q New Yorker.

The most insignificant atom in all Gre
alton has its uses. A foolish little dirty
wisp Of straw may show which way the
wind blows. The bristle of a pig may
be utilized for scrubbing purposes. And
although 1t Is hard to see at first what
possible cause SO infnitesimal molecule
as that tiny bit Of dried up, grayish mat
ter known as the brain Of Ward Meal
lister may subserve, certain it is that
even that apparently worthless bit Of
sponge may point moral and disfgure
not adorn-a tale to some purpose. AT
the sight of the great prince of bottle
washers and menu makers our scorn
will vanish, and we shall be lisping
cringingly, as,I heard Chicago belle
murmur to New Yorker the other day,
II am afraid you find us very crude aft
er New York. That is the way to in
vite contempt. If we run to Ward Nc
Allister or after him and vie with each
other in filing his jaded nav with the
best our chefs afford, we shall be as bad
as he.-Chicago Post.

Crowds In London.

English reporters can never agree upon
the number of people in crowd. Es-
Inmates of the numerical strength Of the
eight hours meeting in Hyde park
ranged from 900 to 100000, while the
actual number was probably about 1O0,-
600. The figures given in connection
with Wednesdays loyal demonstration
differed almost as absurdly, the lowest
estimate being 100000 and the highest
100000. Police calculation, which Is
generally fairly reliable, puts the num-
ber at 300, 900, reckoning people all along
the route. At some favorite spots the
crush was tremendous, but there were
surprisingly few casualties The Metro
politan corps of the St. John Ambulance
brigade was on duty. The staff consisted
of surgeons, IL ambulance officers, II
nursing sisters and 81 rank and file,
while the transport consisted of pairs
horse ambulance wagons, a wheeled lit
ter and 80 stretchers. A hundred and
fifty cases were treated, mostly faints.-

Ladies With q Fighting Partner.

A rather curious institution Is arising
in Paris-that Of dueling associates Of la.
dy journalists. On Saturday the lady
known as Nine. Severine, who was in
timately connected as q friend, literary
helper and disciple of M. Jules Wales
contributed an article to The Journal
at which a M. Massard, socialist, took
offense He called on M. Xau, the edi-
tor, to ask for satisfaction.

tue Of fiction adopted for the purpose
Of releasing M. Xau from all RESPONSE.
bility in such cases, Nine. Severine was
supposed to be the joint author with M
Labruyere Of all her articles. He had
agreed to be answerable for any offense
she might give.
M. Massard then sent. seconds to M
Labruyere, who, admitting that he was
the fighting partner Of the lady, referred
them to couple of male friends. The
duel, which has taken place, was fierce
affair. 1t was fought with foils. In the
second round M. Labruyere received @
cut on the chin, but the doctors saying
that 1t did not signify, there were five
other rounds. The combat was ended
by M. Massard running his foil through
the forearm Of NJ. Labruyere. Honor
was then declared satisfied, and M. La
bruyere was driven back to Paris.-Lon

Preferred Prison to Liberty.

Robert Robinson, better known as
"Old Bob" life convict In the north
ern prison, died Friday night at the age
of 80. Robinson was notorious through
out all the northern part Of Indiana
among the thousands of excursionists
who annually visit the prison as perhaps
the first one on record who positively re-
fused n pardon and regarded the prison
as an acceptable home.
Robinson was sent to the prison at
Jeffersonville, Ind, in 1857 from Wayne
county to serve a life sentence for muir
der. After serving two years there he
was transferred with others to this city
to assist in building the northern prison.
After the labor was finished he worked
on contracts until he grew old, and then
during the wardenship of the late Charles
Mayne in the seventies he became O
''trusty" and farmland. As he ad-
vanced in age his oddities grew upon
him. Early in his prison career he form
ed strong attachment for dumb api-
mails and made pets of dogs, rabbits,
squirrels and foxes. He also developed
into a great hunter and trapper and
would frequently turn his skill to finan-
cial account.
Once during the Mayne regime Bob
got lost while hunting in Porter county,
west Of the city, and actually hired a
man to bring him back to the prison. In
1877 Governor Williams offered Robin
son a pardon, but he rejected it.-Michi-

Idiotic Actions of Women.

Throughout the whole miserable Car
lyle Harris business certain women have
made themselves disagreeably conspicu-
GUS by an unwholesome display of mawk-
ish sentiment, but it remained for a
few fanatics near Albany to give the dis
play the finishing touches. The decora-
ton Of murderer's grave by feminine
sympathizers apart from the family and
near friends was bad enough, but the
subsequent raid on and spoliation Of the
flowers by q lot of idiotic women exceeds
all patience. These women waited until
the mourners had departed, then rushed
forward and seized the flowers They
may have been actuated by different
motives. Some doubtless wished pre-
cious souvenir Of the departed, others
perhaps merely took the flowers as @
curiosity to be exhibited to their friends.
But In any case the exhibition was Of
fensive In the last degree, and more's the
pity that the women We're not arrested
for trespass.
1t seems almost useless to preach to
women on the absurdities Of the exhibi-
tions made over the last hours Of mur-
derers, but the Harris case and it's con-
clusion have necessitated strong re-
monstrance. The conduct of such wom-
en- is almost as much an instigation as O
conformation of murder. To hold them
up to the public and private scorn and
reproach is duty that cannot be too
vigorously observed. New York World.

The jersey Peach Crop.

A letter from Pennington, N. j., says:
Two hundred and ninety replies to 800
inquiries sent out to the largest peach
growers ia this part of the state regard
ing the prospects for this years crop
substantially report that the prospects
for very large crop are good. The cold
spring weather retarded the growth of
peach buds until the late frosts were
over. The buds are opening now and
are healthy in appearance. In the year
Of full crop Hunterdon county has
yielded 100000 baskets. It is expected
that that number will be exceeded this
year, Similar encouraging reports come
from Warren, Somerset and Sussex coun-
ties, where the peach interest has great

The 20 west bound trains which run
daily ON the railroads connecting New
York with Chicago average only s
through passengers each. The joint
committee of the Trunk Line and Cen
trail traffic associations infers from this
small number of through passengers that
there are too many through trains rum
ming on all the roads. They use this as an
argument that the New York Central
should not put ON its 20-hour limited be-
tween New York and Chicago and report
that through trains ought to raise their
fares as their time is quickened, adding
the following extra rates to the regular
fares:
Iwenty-siX hours. ....,......,............ 60
Twenty-four and one-half hours. ............ Q
Twenty-Five and one-half hours. .............
Twenty and one-half hours. rs...,.............. 10
This would make the cost of trip on
the Central's 20-hour limited, with So for
the sleeping car, $35 each way, or $40 for
the round trip.
The attempt to gauge the profits of
running through trains by the number
of through passengers Is in the highest
degree fallacious. York Adver-

Amos Andrew Parker of Fitzwilliam,

est being that he was probably the Oldest
person in New England. He had reach

last all his bodily and mental faculties
were in an excellent state Of preserva-
tion. He was graduated from the Uni

HUNTINGTON, w. VA, September -.
The report sent out from this city
that Ohio River railroad officials had
ordered all trains on the road stopped
al GUyandOtte, and would not pass
through this city on account OF the
various damage suits is false. Trains
have been running as usual. There
was q slight change In the schedule In
the running Of Huntington and Big
Sandy trains, their runs extending 20
GuyandOtte, and IL is said that this Is
what probably started the false rumor. In
reference TO the suits your correspondent
tonight interviewed a number of prom
inent citizens, who stated that they
would amount TO nothing; that instead
OF the property along the avenue being
damaged II had been greatly benefited,
and that the Ohio River people had
been the cause OF IL on account Of the
manner they had improved il in various
ways. Their magnificent passenger
station had been erected on part OF 1t
that was formerly q waste piece of land,
and their various endeavors In improv-
ing the same had added much to the
value OF the property adjacent.
