From the London Daily News
We pity the daughter of the self-complacent
German matron, who describes in the practical
weekly journal for all housewives" the Furs
Haus, the way in which she divides the girls
time. This energetic mother rouses her daugh-
ter of sixteen at a. m, summer or winter
Half an hour later she must be at breakfast
serving her brothers and sisters. after seeing
that they are properly dressed for school. Rid
of the Young folks she must make her bed and
clean and dust the whole of the rooms of the
house by 10 a. m. On three days of the week
she sets out for dressmakers. and learns the
business till 1890. On the other three days she
practices on the piano and learns English.
Twice week the aour from u to l is devoted
to music lessons. At l:30 dinner is finished
and the girl must herself put away and lock up
all remains. after which she is allowed to read
some entertaining book or play piquet or
dominoes with her father. At 2:30 she must do
plain sewing till o'clock. The whole family
then take coffee and walk for an hour and a
half.

A BORDER CHARACTER.
Pen Sketch of Bat Masterson, Who Has
Unexcelled Record With His Pistol,

Pen Sketch of Bat Masterson, Who Has an
Une xcelled Record With His Pistol.
From the Kansas City Times.
There are few betterknown men in the west
than Bat Masterson-the name Of Buffalo
Bill'' is hardly more familiar. Much has been
said of him in the newspapers and sporting
journals. Anything he may do or say is an
Item. and for that reason reporters watch him
closely. Despite all this l have never read a
description of Masterson's personal appearance
Much has been written of his career, of his re-
puted killings" of his opinions on matters
pugilistic, but very little of how he looks and
talks.
During a half-hour's conversation with the
famous Bat one night this week drew a mental
picture of him. Here it is: A man probably
thirty-eight years of age, although looking two
or three years younger; about five feet. nine
inches tall, and weighing, say, 165 pounds;
his hair dark and cropped closely to we'll
shaped but rather round head, ewes grav
a mixed gray. large and full: complexion
dark and inclined to be forid. evidently
from dissipation: mustache dark brown
nearly black, and trimmed almost to the corners
of the mouth; feet and hands small and
we'll shaped. He wore black derby hat and
spring suit of clothes, light in color and beau
ufully made. He was not flashy in any respect.
and yet he looked like gambler or sporting
man. He is extremely polite in manner, talks
well and easily and uses very good English. with
neither more nor less slang than would natur-
ally be expected
This is the man who is said to have killed as
many men as any other of the noted border
characters, and yet never one by unfair ad-
vantage, and who now has a rep-ta tion as an
authority on pugilism and a man who is will
ing to back his judgment SO long as his money
lasts.

Cincinnati cranks are wrestling with new
play. Vaughn was on third and Henry on first.
Duffee hit little one to Pitcher McGinnis who
threw the bali 10 third, catching Vaughn off
the base. Vaughn kept three four of the
Colts busy running HIM down. while Henry and
Duffee came around. Henry did not stop at
third, but ran on past Vaughn. who WAS put
out just before he (Henry) reached the plate
Umpire EmslIe held that Henry was safe be-
cause he had not touched the plate when Vaughn
was tagged out. There was a howl. and Presi-
dent Young will have to give a decision in the
matter.
Come. boys" said Hanlon when he found
yesterday that there would be no game. ''let us

REFUSED A PENSION,

Ex-Queen Liliuokalani Declined to With
draw From the Field.
The New York Worlds dispatch from Homo
lulu dated April &c says:
Since the departure Of the last mail an attempt
has been made to bring about a compromise
between the two opposing factions here. 1t
was evident that if the deposed queen could be
induced to withdraw from her position of pas
sive antagonism it would greatly help to clear
matters up. The only practical mode of IN
ducing the queen to retire is to pension her.
On April % Paul Neumann had long con-
ference with President Dole The situation
was reviewed and the president informed
Neumann that the government would listen to
any proposition the queen might make. Neu-
mann said that, as the adviser Of the queen. he
thought that pension of suitable amount
should be accented.
The two parted with the understanding that
they should meet again Immediately after the
queen had been seen. Liliuokalani consulted
Mr.. Parker, her former minister of state
who urged the queen to reject Neumann's
proposition. Others were called in. it is under
stood. and the pressure on Liliuokalani became
SO great that when Me- lann again met her she
refused to take any action.
Il will trust the United States to restore me-"
was her answer. She had been told that the
United States would surely do SO and she said
she would wait
1t is the intention of the provisional govern
ment and the annexation party to send another
commission to Washington. Mr.. Thurston of
the old commission, who is now in the east,
will remain perhaps the diplomatic repre-
sentative Of the Hawaiian Islands, in place of
Mr.. Carter, the present minister. The exact
date of the departure of the commissioners is
not fixed, but it probably will be that of the

Mr.. Damon is the vice president of the pro-

headed man. His father was missionary from
the east and Mr.. Damon inherits a vast amount
OF Yankee shrewdness and common sense. This
plan to send another commission meets with the
hearty approval of President Dole.
