IN rae PooRHoUsE FOR IS YEARS
The sad Story of Once Famous and
Handsome Equestrienne.

h8nQBOmO EQuCstNACAos
CINCINNATI, o., December 16.-Thir-
ty years ago one of the famous eques-
triennes before the public was pretty
and nimble Fannie Clarkson, who. as
circus star, wore a high sounding
French title. She travelled with the
great shows Of those days, and was one
of the few bareback riders OF the times.
The taste was then satisfied with the
more conservative pad riding. Pretty
Fannie's feats, as can well De mag
agined, created distinct furore. one
day there was an accident in the ring.
The horse stumbled or SHE'D and his
graceful rider, caught unawares, was
thrown heavily TO the sawdust or the
ring. In her spangles and skirts she was
CARED to the dressing-room by her
bedizened and painted companions OF
the arena. She never more emerged as
"the daring lady rider" for that M
fortunate stumble meant for her end
less sufferings and incurable deformity.
Her spine had been injured. and the
surgeons Of that day could give no re-
lief. Relatives she had none, and friends
had departed from the suffering Grip
ple's side. Abandoned and helpless she
appealed for charity. One day In aut-
umn she took the dreaded ride over the
hills to the poor house and was regis
tered as an inmate of the city iniirmary.
That was % long years ago. When she
came into the fatefu door she was less
than 80 years old, and as a deguerreo-
type shows, beautiful woman. Today
in one of the little white cots in the In
Urinary, she breathed her last, a de-
formed, wrinkled and haggard old crone,
who seemed to have dwelt in misery Tor
a century.

rise from Sir Lauchlan Nor Mac.

who fell in clan fight with the Mac

terribly avenged by his son, Hec'
tor 'Eachin Oag,' in the overthrow
of the Macdonalds at Benbrigie.
Hector's son, Lauchlan, was Great

and was the friend and comrade
of famous Montrose, James Ora

he, as captain general of Charles
l. forces in Scotland, took arms
against the Covenanters under the
Duke of Argyll. Lauchlan was
with Montrose when his forces
beat Argylls Amy at the famous
battle of Inverlochy, and also at
the battle of Kilsyth. He died
natural death, but MOntrose's star
of victory fell, he was captured,
tried, sentenced to death and
hung upon gibbet. This done
his remains were dismembered,
and hung in several towns in
Scotland. Some time after, by
order of Charles H., those remains
were collected and inferred with
great solemnity in Edinburgh.
His courage in life and his forti-

Scottish herOism. Sir Allan Mac.
lean was an officer in the British
army, serving in America during
the first revolutionary war. Sir
Fitzroy Mclean was a general in
the British army. He was at the
capture of Tobaga, and at the at.

Tho retirement of Secretary Foster
from President Harrison's Cabinet,
to join the Behring Sea Commits
sion in Paris, before the question of
Hawaiian annexation was settled, is
significant. 1t will be remembered
it was announced at first that Secre-
tary Foster had postponed his de
parture for Paris, so as to stand by
and see the consummation of Ha-
waiian annexation before the close
of the Republican administration.
His departure before that event
would indicate that the most extra
ordinary efforts Of Harrison and his
Cabinet, to prevent the leaving of
the Hawaiian question as a legacy
to Cleveland's administration, have
failed. All negotiations with the
late administ ration. to have Hawai-
ian local affairs administered by resi-
dents of some standing, and any
concessions tothe Provisional Coy
ernment, may therefore be consider
ed as off.
