nal court, and among them were doc"
Bliss and two women, whose appearance
excited general interest and astonishment.
When their history was brought out and
published all New York was astonished to
degree that was painful
One was Mrs. Byrne, a handsome wom-
an with dark eyes. She was the wife of
Dr. Byrne, respectable and well to do
physician of Lexington avenue, who died
several months ago. About a year ago he
brought Bliss, who had been his college
chum, to his house. Bliss was then thief,
but the doctor did not know it. Since the
DOCTORS death Bliss and Mrs Byrne have
lived together Her mother, woman Of
the highest responsibility, was sent for and
found her daughter in the felon's dock,
the mistress and accomplice Of sneak
thief
The other case is, if possible, still more
astonishing. Lillian Stevens is of distin-
guished southern family, and her father
attained to the rank of general in the
Confederate army. His estates were de-
vastated, but he partially recovered his

years old she was sent to convent in
France to be educated. She developed into
handsome young woman and fell in love
with the son of another old southern fam
lily. Lillian's father opposed the match,
but the young couple eloped. Lillian's
husband became the confidential clerk in
wealthy manufacturing firm, but was
dishonest and robbed his employers, He
had to run away, and his wife left him.
Her family refused to recognize her. She
took refuge in New York, and went first to
the opium den and then to be the compan-
ion of crooks. The name of Stevens is of
course an assumed one, but her true his
tory is known.

An Incident of the Peculiar Fright That
Seized New York City.

An Incident of the Peculiar Fright That
Seized New York City.
LET me tell You how came near be-
ing the innocent cause Of n big cholera
scare" said well known lawyer to
reporter one afternoon. ''It happened in
this way: was breakfasting alone in
East Twenty-eight street at private
Italian boarding house filled with the
leading people from several comic opera
companies, including Robin Hood and
'Puritania.' My landlady, Nine. s.,
whose English pronunciation is at once
the delight and despair of those who
seek to initiate or understand it, came in
and said: 'Mista John, writa me una
note. Say Aida wom are down. Com
ma queek. You putta ma nom alta bot,

Il was in haste to get down town."
continued the narrator, land | wrote it
out as understood it, All the women
are down; come quick thought
that the message sounded odd. She
said, however, that 1t was ALA rat
and sent it to DR.. x. around the corner
in Lexington avenue. That worthy
young physician glanced at the note, and
thinking that it opened the way to fame
for him informed the board of health
that he had discovered an outbreak OF
cholera in an up town Italian boarding
house. He telephoned the same mes
sage to several newspaper men Of his
acquaintance.
"In less than twenty minutes squad
of burly policemen appeared in front of
the house, followed by the doctor, sixre-
porters and several officers Of the board
of health, whose instincts had been
wrought up to white heat by the mes
sage. Mime. S. answered the incessant
ringing of the door bell in person.
She was attired in becoming morning
gown, and being a large and remarkably
handsome woman, presented dra-
matte appearance as she explained the
situation; Gentleman, who eata brik-
fast now, no undastanda me. | tell him
olda wom' are down, slippa down, you
undastan? Olda WON worka for me.

1.-THE other day woman who spends
thousands of dollars year on dress sent
for me and gave me an old garment to
make over for house wear, says dress
maker. "There were trimmings and
Innings to buy, but she gave me no
money. OF course it was taken for
granted that would furnish those. That
was all right. When the work was done
the bill amounted to $ll.30, and ! had
less than 81 in cash. wrote an apollo
getic little note to my customer when /
sent the dress home, asking for the
amount of the bill--if convenient. My
messenger returned empty handed. He
waited in the hallway Of the rich wom-
ans house for half an hour, and receiv-
ing no answer to my note ventured to
speak to one of the servants about it.
The servant kindly said that she would
inquire about it. Soon she returned
with the message that Mrs. said
that she had no time to bother with petty
bills then. In consequence my little
family had a very skinny Sunday din

My father insisted that my sister Ka-
tie and should teach the polka step to
him and Mr.. Leech. My father was as
much in earnest about learning to take
that wonderful step correctly as though
there were nothing of greater impor-
tance in the world. Often he would prac-
tice gravely in a corner, without either
partner or music, and remember one
cold winters night his awakening with
the fear that he had forgotten the stepso
strong upon him that, jumping out of
bed, by the scant illumination of the old
fashioned rushlight and to his own whis-
tling he diligently rehearsed its lone,
two, one, two," until he was once more
secure in his knowledge.
No one can imagine our excitement
and nervousness when the evening came
on which we were to dance with our
pupils. Katie was to have Mr.. Leech,
who was over six feet tall, for her partner,
while my father was to be mine. My
heart beat so fast that could scarcely
breathe, | was so fearful for the success
of our exhibition. But my fears were
groundless, and we were greeted at the
finish Of our dance with hearty applause,
which was more than compensation for
the work which had been expended upon
its learning. Mamie Dickens in Ladies'
Home Journal.

It is much to be desired that actors
should be duly protected against the laches
Of INSCRIPTIONS employers, and against
the perils of insanitary dressing rooms and
of i'll constructed theaters; complaints on
such matters are, unfortunately, only too
well founded. There are, especially in the
smaller provincial towns, numberless ad-
venturers, theatrical managers-l Heaven
save the marki-whose capital consists of
limited stock of picture posters, probably
obtained on credit, and unlimited stock of
innate effrontery.
Small as are the salaries they covenant
to pay their actors, they seldom disburse
them in full, while an ingenious system of
proclaiming the end of a season in one
town, and inviting applications for re-
engagement in the next enables them to
saddle their unhappy company with the
cost of any unusually expensive railway
journey.
Again, those who only play the part Of
audiences in our theaters little know how
apt is sanitary and architectural reform to
stop short on their side Of the footlights.
There are theaters, gorgeous as to their
foyers and corridors with gliding and elec.
trio lights, whose sanitary arrangements
behind the scenes would disgrace howell,
whose stages communicate with the street
by passages so tortuous that strangers
chances Of threading the labyrinth amid
Gre and smoke would be well nigh hope
less. The bogus manager and the insani.
tary theater are certainly ills which cry
aloud for remedy. Saturday Review.

The Negro and the Earthquake.

At Fort Augusta, in Jamaica, one Of the
defenses Of Kingston harbor, on the oppo-
site side Of the inlet Of Port Royal, is shown
the tomb of a negro, who in great earth
quake was swallowed up, and apparently
buried alive in chasm which was opened
under his feet A moment later another
convulsion threw him out on the surface
again, undamaged but for few bruises,
scratches and scare, and be lived for many
years afterward. .-All the Year Round

Yesterday afternoon while the

enough to wake the dead, caused

Miss Alberta T. Johnson, daughter of

The machine and car shops of the New
Jersey Southern Railroad at Manchester
closed down on Friday night for an in
definite time Ever since the building
of the railroad in the early sixties. the
shops have been in operation, and have
been the life of the town. They were
located by the late William TerreY, the
New York city financier, who practically
built the Jersey Southern Railroad, and
on whose estate the shops stand. Be-
tween 200 and 300 men will be affected
by this closing, and if it is continued
Manchester's business will be paralyzed,
and Toms River and other towns that
furnish many of the workmen will also
feel the change. Mechanical Superin-
tendent William Montgomery, when
questioned about the length of the shut
down, was unable to give any informa-
ton beyond that he had just received
orders to close all shops under his juris-
dlction on Friday night.
The Pennsylvania railroad is about to
put into service new type of locomotives
known as Glass P. The driving wheels
will be six and half feet in diameter,
ten inches more than the standard. With
the tender the machine will weigh eighty
one tons.
They are intended to increase the speed
of passenger trains, which is especially
desired on the run of 105 miles from
Philadelphia to Harrisburg, the time now
required being about three hours. The
grades are heavy. From 81 feet at Phil
adelphia the road rises to 400 feet at Bryn
Mawr, $50 feet at Malvern and 552 feet at
the Gap. The best time which has been
made Is two hours and twenty minutes
to Harrisburg. The track has been put
in most excellent shape, and with the
powerful new engines it is expected that
the schedule time to Chicago may be
! lowered
