HER ALLEGED CRIME.
Mrs. Wandell and Young Parker
Will Answer to Serious
Hhoruas
Charges.

Last evening Mrs. Hoffman. nee Mrs.
FL. FL. Wandell, was arrested by Detec-
tiveS Hughes aud Bowen, on the charge
of keeping a disorderly house. She was
arraigned before Justice Anton Adam,
and her bond was fixed at $500, which she
readily gave.
1t seems that Miss Annie Hammond, at
one time, was employed at Lang's restau-
rant. A man named Parker, it is alleged
noticed the young lady il mention, and
was iavOrably impressed with her looks
and manners. As it is alleged, Parker
went to Mrs. Hoffman, who was then
Mrs. Wandell, and made known his love
for Miss Hammond.
Shortly after this, Mrs. WandeII made
the acquaintance of the girl and sent sew
eral notes TO her, inviting her TO CALL
which she did.
On entering the house she was aston
ished to find Parker awaiting her coming
They were escorted into a sleeping apart
men and the three engaged In CONVEX
sation. Presently Mrs. Wandell left the
room and did not return. Parker locked
the door and, so the girl says, and as one
OF the detectives informed reporter, &C.
complished his object.
The girl also stated to the officers that
Mrs. Wandell said: why work when
you can live and have plenty and good
time too? Don't be afraid of getting into
trouble, for II you do, | have some medi-
cine and will cure you"
This young lady reported the matter to
friend, who informed Captain Hughes.
After Miss Hammond was questioned
thoroughly by the Captain, Mrs. Wandell
was arrested for keeping a disorderly
house. The trial will take place this af-
terDoon at 3 o'clock, when sensational
proceedings will, in all probability, de-
velop.
Nothing can be learned Of the where
aboutS of Parker, but as soon as he is To-
Gated he will be arrested and arraigned To
answer to serious charges.

A Fair Boston CyciIst In Turkish
Costume.

We saw few days ago pretty girl
dressed in pretty suit, riding oicy-
Gle. There was nothing uausual about
this fact, except that the girl wore
Turkish trousers and black CATERS to
the knee, instead of the tapping skirts
which wheelwomen commonly deem 1t
necessary to put on, and which always
make their wheeling ridiculous. This
lady's suit consisted Of white blouse
waist, over which was an Eton jacket
of cadet blue; full Turkish trousers, al
so Of cadet blue, shoes with black gait
ers TO the knee. aud a cap OF cadet
blue with a white band. Her move
ments were graceful, AMI If people
looked at her q BIT more than they
ought it was to admire and commend,
There was certainly nothing about the
young lady's appearance or demeanor
which was not modest and seemly.
Why not replace skirts altogether In
riding, walking, and other active out-oi
door exercises which women. with the
full approval and unanimous applause
of their bretheren, are engaging III
more and more? There is no valid
reason why it should not, be done
except stupid prejudice.

AstenorraphIo story.

Years ago, as many as forty almost,
John Sherman, OF Ohio, now Senator,
went out to Kansas as commissioned,
with others, to investigate certain law
less proceedings in that section. In
the course of the investigation one
long-whiskered, be-pistOled native, who
was before the commission, began to
express himself with profane force
fulness that was not at all compliment
tary to the government or its represen-
tatives. and Mr.. Sherman requested
the Official stenographer To take down
the remarks of the gentleman from
Kansas. Mr.. Sherman let the angry
citizen 60 on until he had his say
Now look here" said Mr.. Sherman
"do you know that you have been max
ing yourself liable to prosecution by
what you have said?'
The speaker didn't care blankety
blank if he had.
"Wel, do you know what you have
said?" inquired Ms. Sherman.
"No, l don't, and nobody else does,
but I've said it and stand by it,"
Mr.. Sherman called on the stenogra-
pher 10 read his notes, and the stenog-
rapher did so. As the vile language
rolled out the Kansan looked puzzled at
first. Then as it came back to him
and he began to realize that he had
said those things, and the officers had
them down In black and white against
him, he became frightened.
LET me see that" he asked, ner-
vously.
The stenographer handed him the
notes.
For minute or more he gazed at the
strange stenographic characters.
SNAKES, by -! he yelled, and
dropping the book he bolted out Of
the place.
