COMMANDER BOOTH TELLS TIE LIFE STORY
OF "ASaBARREL JIMMY.
How One Of the Thousands in New York was Re-
formed by the First SalvadOnisS in This COun-
ty-A Character IN Police Lila.
Copyright, 1893.


Our first convert in America Ia still
living and serving the army in Boston.
The history OF his reform Is remarka-
BILE one.
The conversion OF the first OF q
mighty multitude was brought about by
Commissioner Railton, then In command
OF the American forces OF the army,
and Superintendent Thomas Byrnes, Of
the New York police. Mr. Byrnes was an
inspector Of police az the time, early in
1850.
1t is hardly necessary to follow our
first convert from saloon 10 prison and
from woe to woe. The path OF the
drunkard is well known. He became
hungry and penniess and snatched
lady's pocketbook and was sent TO Au-
burn, the New York State prls on.
There are times In drunkard's life
when he ceases making promises and
taking pledges. So many have been
taken only to be broken that the thor
oughly discouraged victim submits
patiently TO what he considers his fate
and drifts TO hell on the dark current
OF despair without ever disturbing the
murky waters with an effort 70 escape
sure and certain destruction. While In
Auburn prison Jimmy seems TO have
abandoned hope, for Immediately on his
release he went 20 New York and joined
a notorious gang Of garroters-tbe
Whyos. To Jimmy vas assigned the
task OF watching the "cop" whileN the
other mem bers g the gang robbed their
victims. Jimmy watchful eye, how
ever, proved traitor, for the gang was
arrested after short but lucrative ex-
istence, and a number OF them were
sent TO Sing Sing prison. Put Jimmy
was one of the Whyos who got OF.

women's Smoking Cars in Russia

recently in a Russian journal, and
given in the form Of a simple matter OF
fact statement, sets forth that special
smoking carriages for the use OF ladies
have been set apart on Russian rail-
ways. Fancy the horror such an an
Douncement would create in this coun-
try, the indignant letters and protests
that would be received, the agitation in
womsn's clubs, the arguments In
woman's journals. Still it is simply q
matter of custom. 1t is interesting TO
read, too, that Miss Emily Faithful,
who is on the literary pension list Of
England and is held in high regard
by the Queen, is an inveterate cigar
smoker. 1t is only fair to say that she
pursues the habit under her physicians
directions and as cure for asthma

Init Little Prettieg:

MANY of the new bits of linen seen at
the exchanges are rounded oolongs,
following the shape of/dishes so much
used for olives, celery. &c.
A salad Of pale green English glass
is something new. The deep bowl is
made with scahoped edge, aud each
of the six plates is lettuce leaf. The
large spoon and fork are Of green glass
mounted in silver.
Felt is especially desirable for dscora-
tive purposes. A pretty table cover
may be made Of white felt, painted In
old rose, bow knot and yellow crysan-
themQm design. The border may be OF
fringe or done in ribbon loops.
The superstitious young woman owns
unique penholder. at the top OF the
handle there sits rabbits left hind
foot mounted in silver. 1t Is supposed
to have come direct from graveyard at
midnight. She regards it as her mascot.
The height of novelty has been
reached in shirt studs. They are dew
IFS heads. small and black. There are
FIVE OF them connected by fine gold
chain. Imagine the sensation they Gre
ate when seen on a delicately tinted
shirt 'front.'
There are many new delicate tints
which paint particularly well, and 1t
will surprise many to find bow easily q
soft, pretty effect can be obtained by
dilutlng oil paints with turpentine.
Slecatiff de Courtray can be used in
stead OF turpentine, and will dry more
quickly.
Old-fashioned hair nets are again
with US. Instead of being valued at
ten cents, as in the days OF old, they
now cost from 81 to IS. The most pop
ular ones are being made Of fine threads
of gold. Some are OF silver and others
have tiny jewels caught among the
threads. With the gold nets small gold
hair pins are sold.
Waistcoats Of ribbon are just appear
ing In the shops. They are made OF
seven ribbons stitched together, with
overlapping edges, three for the back
and four for the front, and are fastened
invisibly at the left side. Worn be-
meath an Elton or Boiero jacket they
look bright and patty.
The newest yelling has large open
mesh, the corners of which are fastened
by double solid dots In square shape.
They are edged with valenclennes about
half an itch wide. This comes in
black, white and colors, and is distin-
guished by real lace edge. Spotted
wells in summer look ugly. II one
wears veil for protection, and not for
beauty's sake, the best is thin gauze.
II some women only realized how hid
eous they look in some Of the novelties
which are called fashionable, they
would cling to the simple black chiffon
veil with a narrow border Of black silk.

Mrs. Louis Pagan, OF London, VINO

with their other charms, Western
women would In time become extinct,

women cannot be vain, for they

every woman wears earrings, but no
Japanese woman ever had her ears
