LEFT HER HOME.
Strange Disappearance of San Fran
cisco Lady.

Strange Disappearance of a San Fran
cisco Lady.
On the 9th of last month Mrs. w.
Worthington, wife of a San Francisco
photographer, left her home, and her hus-
band has not been able to get any trace
of her. Mrs. Worthington took with
her their two-year-old daughter, leaving
their little boy with his father.
Mr.. Worthington came to this city yes
terday in search of his wife, thinking she
may have come hither, as she has lady
friend here whose name he does not
know. He describes his wife as being %
years of age, fair complexion, has small
freckleS about the nose and eyes, the
point Of the nose is turned slightly TO the
right, there is large scar on the right
side OF the neck caused by burn, and
she weighs about 100 pounds. She wore
a dark corduroy suit. Her name before
marriage was Louisa Griffin. The child
was dressed in bright red dress and cap,
with white muller around her neck;
child has large black eyes and black hair,
and is quite tieshy.
A gentleman who claims to be ac-
quainted with the Worthingtons told a
RECORD L MON reporter last evening
that he felt pretty certain he got glimpse
Of Mrs. Worthington and her child at
the Western Hotel here about a week
ago. The hotel register shows that there
were two ladies there about that time,
each with child, but if either was Mrs.
Worthington she did not register her
own name.
Mr.. Worthington is greatly distressed
over his wite's disappearance. The case
is very pathetic one. In one of the San
Francisco papers appears the following
personal" which apparently applies to
this case:
Louise - Herbert is continually asking,
"Papa, no Mamma? Mamma no come

Beginning The Year.

There are several ways of beginning
the new year and every man has an
Idea that by some BOGUS pocus he has
discovered the only one, but there is
nothing like beginning the year right.
Some men relinquish all their mild
vices, knowing well that they will
resume them at the first opportunity,
while others file a number of good
resolutions of more or less strength,
according to the man. To begin the
year right, however. you should resolve
to do the best possible thing for your
self, and that is to take the ST. Paul
& Duluth Railroad whenever you
have occasion TO travel in it's terri
tory So popular has this particular
route grown that it's soubriquet, "The
Duluth Short Line,' is known every
where that American tourists are
found, 1t is in reality the short line
between St. Paul and Minneapolis
and the thriving city al the head OF
Lake Superior. 1t should always be
taken, because it furnishes the best
equipment, running at convenient
business hours over a smooth roadDed
and between the best terminals in the
Northwest. For further particulars
apply to agents or address Geo. w.
Bull, General Passenger Agent, or w
A. Russell, Assistant General Pas
senger Agent, ST. Paul, MINI.

The Mahdi.

The mahdi's outward appearance was
strong constitution, very dark complex
ion and his face always wore pleasant
smile, to which he had, by long practice,
accustomed himself Under this smile
cleaned a set of singularly white teeth,
and between the two upper middle ones
was V shaped space, which in the Sou
dan is considered sign that the owner
will be lucky. The mahdi was well
versed in the art of winning over people.
His unruffied smile, pleasant manners,
generosity and equable temperament,
though at times somewhat severe, all
tended to enhance the popular idea OF
him. He attributed the execution of
Said Pasha and Ali Bey Sheriff the vail
ant defenders of Ell Obeid) to the Khalifa
Abdullah, and when the two little sons
of the latter were brought to him the
smiling hypocrite wept for their father S
fate.
The popular belief in him and his
cause almost amounted to worship.
Women especially raved about him and
thought him the most handsome of men.
His virtues were extolled in poems, and
constant reference was made to his good
looks, wisdom. stature and to his re-
peated victories over the Turks. The
beggars used to learn off by heart special
laudatory verses, and by reciting them
from house to house they were sure to
be given alms.-'.Ten Years Captivity

The state has made of this institu-

moral sanitarium, and imposed up
on the management the very serious
task of converting bad men into good
ones. This being the case, the state
should, without hesitation, furnish
every necessary means to carry the
work forward successfully. Even very
bad men, when placed in an instltu-
tion Of this kind, are made to reflect
upon their hopeless situation. The
result of such reflection is generally
to create a desire within them to bet
ter their condition. The existence of
this desire within them is the only
hope of reformation"

BENJAMIN BUTLER.

The death of Benjamin Butler in
Washington early yesterday morning
removes from earthly scenes pecu-
liar character. OF late years he has
not been conspiciously before the pub
lie in a political sense, his last appear
ance being in 1884 when he was the
presidential candidate of the Green
back-anti- Monopolist party. Amen
Der of all 1.-The parties of his day he
could hardly be called political sue
cess in any, yet as lawyer and
manufacturer he achieved notable
success and through his own eXertions
became millionaire. Previous to
the civil war he was Democratic
leader in Massachusetts,, but he first
attracted national prominence in 1860
as delegate to the national Demo-
cratic convention and was cOnSpicu-
Gus through the stormy sessions of
that body. where he voted fifty-seven
times for jeff Davis and then bolted
the convention, declaring that he
would no longer sit in body "where
the African slave trade, which is
piracy by the laws of my government,
is advocated.
During the war he attained high
military nOtoriety and success and be-
came the best hated in the south of
all the northern generals, "a distinction
he was always proud of. After the
war he was member of congress for
many years and was manager on the
part of the House in the impeach-
ment proceedings against Andrew
Johnson. His great ambition was to
become governor of Massachusetts,
and after several failures, he finally
succeeded in securing the election as
Democrat in 1882, but was defeated
for reelection in the following year.
On financial matters he was given
to many wild fancies and at times was
given over to the advocacy of social
istic tendencies. He was a master OF
sarscasm and never hesitated to use
it, even though it be friend who re-
ceived the bitter shafts. His indeed
was peculiar life. AS the st. Paul
Ne,cs says, he was brilliant man,
towering above most intellectually
daring and often rash in speech and
act, he was unique figure, some
times winning the plaudits of the
rabble which he mistook for the ap'
plause of valor, he constantly walked
upon thorns, not always able to con
ceal the stabs he received and thus
was frustrated in many of his ambi
tiOnS.
