ambition cut short can be found than
that of Miss Mary Yeargin who was
drowned in Cayuga lake. New York, re-
Gently. She was self made woman. and
the story Of her struggles for an educa-
ton is well known here. Her father is
a one armed ex-Confederate soldier and
a farmer of Laurens county. He was
unable to send his daughter to college,
but she was determined to obtain an ed
ucation. He owned a gin and had
been employing colored man as an en-
gineer. Miss Yeargin asked him to let
her run the engine and to give her the
salary given the colored man. He
consented, but with some doubts of her
ability to fill the position. He was
soon gratified to find that she was fully
capable of acting as engineer. She soon
accumulated enough money to attend
the Methodist college in this city. from
which she graduated. After teaching
in the college for some time she went
to Leesville, S. c., where she taught
about year. She wanted to go higher,
however, and managed to obtain the
means to 60 to Cornell university to
take special course. While teaching

woman suffrage has been tried, as in
Wyoming, and for short time in the
state Of Washington, it has been found
that women take an active interest in
elections. Women are not less patriotic
than men are, and the lack of interest

the result of exclusion from suffrage
than from any lack of aptitude for po-

The Spotted ycil Habit.


1.-THE spotted veil habit will have to
have its asylums or gold cures or
something, said an oculist lately. Its
victims increase constantly, and they
seem to be as devoid Of will power to
resist the mania as is the devotee of any
evil practice. Intelligent women come
to me to be treated for eye troubles that
in some cases are wholly produced by
the use of the spotted veil. and in others
seriously aggravated. The harm is
more perceptible now than formerly,
for women wear wells almost incessant-
ly. At the theater, at social afternoons,
at church. everywhere almost, you will
SEQ the covering film of lace. I've
questioned my wife, who is as bad as
any of You. and she says it is posi-
lively necessary; that ones hair flies
and various disagreeable things happen
if the veil is left off, so suppose it will
have to be worn, eyes or no eyes. At
least, however, wear one without dots,
or with them 60 far apart that one need
not come within eye range"
To which canton another may be
added-to lift the veil, whatever its
texture, when reading in transit. 1t is
common sight t0see women in the
elevated cars and suburban trains alb
sorb themselves in book or paper for a
40 minute trip without raising their
wells. The motion of the vehicle and
the shifting uncertain light are in them
selves a serious tax upon the sight, ia
which it is unnecessary to add the fur
ther burden of even a plain veil.-Her

DELUGED WITH WATER.

An Insane Prisoner at Police Head
quarters Repulses All the Officers
Attacked Captain Wrtnn-FinaIIy
Subdued by the Use of Water From a
Fire En&1ne-Taken to the Alms-
house.
For many years there has not been such
an exciting time at police headquarters as
was witnessed there yesterday afternoon,
when the unusual spectacle of part of the
fire department being called out to subdue
prisoner presented isself. Last Saturday
night Michael J. Rooney, an ex-policeman
from Boston, Mass, was arrested and
looked up after frightening many people in
the streets by his strange actions. Until
yesterday Rooney gave the officers but lit
tie trouble, but on visiting his quarters
yesterday afternoon it was found that he
had ripped large iron sink to pieces and
had become very violent.
He believed that his brother was buried
under the sink and he was determined to
dig him out. An officer who attempted to
enter the place where he was confined was
greeted with a volley of iron missiles, and
the announcement from the lunatic that be
would kill the first man that entered. The
policeman went back for reinforcements
and returning with several others they
attempted to take the place by storm, but
their trial was disastrous, several of the in
vaders being severely injured by pieces of
iron thrown by the lunatic. Captain
Wrinn was severely bruised on the leg by
one of the missiles. Efforts to coax the
mailman were az unsuccessful and for two
hours he had everything his own way.
A plan of campaign was then de cided
upon. Steamer No. 2 was called ont with
number of firemen. The arrival of the
engine at the police station caused the
greatest excitement in the vicinity. Sever
al hundred people surrounded the station
believing that there was a fire inside.
Meanwhile a line of hose was laid in the
rear of the building and sighted at the
lnnatic through a window. Detective
Cowles was stationed in q gallery over the
room where the lunatic was crouchine, to
attract his attention, and another line was
arranged to be played through the door of
the prison. At signal from Captain
Wrinn the streams from both nozzles were
turned on the amazed maniac. nearly
knocking him to the floor, while
dozen policemen rushed through the
door and after q terrific struggle over
powered him. He was not overcome, how
ever, until Fireman Charles B. DYER had
been struck by a largo piece of iron and
painfully hurt. Rooney is about thirty
five years of age, nearly six feet tall and
weighs over 200 pounds, and he proved a
powerful mau to handle. Soaked from
head to foot he was finally placed in cell,
and late in the afternoon be was removed
to the slmshouse. It required six men to
hold him in the team which conveyed him
from the station. The cause of his in
sanity Is unknown. Rooney's brother ar
rived from Boston late yesterday afternoon
and will take the lunatic back with him to-
day.

NAMING RAILROAD STATIONS.
A Bill Providing They Shall Bear tn,

A Bill Providing They Shall Bear the
Title of the Town and Village.
A bill will be introduced into the legis-
lature this week making 1t compulsory on
railroad companies to name their stations
after the villages in which they are located.
The bill is designed to avoid the confusion
that now occurs at several points along the
Consolidated road One of these points is
at Ssugstuck, where the station is named
Westport, not only upon the station proper,
but also upon the time table and tickets.
There have been several recent instances
where parties desiring to go to Saugatuck,
Who were not acquainted with the stations
along the line of the Consolidated, have
been Aforementioned because of failure on
the part of the railroad company to make
any reference to the place. The bill makes
1t compulsory upon the railroad company
to name the depot after both village and
town, and for failure to do this provides a
penalty of 500, part to the town and part
to the state. for every day 1t fails to do go.
The railroad company will probably oppose
the bill
