He is Said to be Dangerously Ill at
Plant City.
Ocala, Fla, Aug. 19.-Report came in
yesterday that Davis, the Philadelphia
drummer for an umbrella house, who in
suited Mai Turner's wife, and who the
major severely chastised, is lying dan
gerously ill at Plant City and is not ex-
pected to live. AS it is, it was a good
thing Mai Turner confronted the man
unarmed. for had he been ne no doubt
would have shot him dead, instead of
wearing out umbrellas over his head.
The embezzlement case of f. G. Thomas,
a colOred lawyer whom it was attempted
to debar from practice last winter for un-
professional services, has been disposed
of in the superior court The case is this:
Thomas was made the attorney for an
other negro named Brown, near Anthony,
who sold some phosphate lands to
Samuel w. league. Part payment was
cash, the balance on time. Thomas in
duced Brown to accept his CThomas)
note for the one league had given. This
note Thomas took to the bank and had
discounted and used the money, and
Brown was in the soup. AS Brown could
neither read nor write, he signed such
papers as Thomas presented to him, being
told they were for the proper transacting
of the land deal. Thomas took this
method of shielding himself from the
operations of the law, but the jury
after Solicitor Burford, made the
case plain, found him guilty

lola on Marriage.

Emile lola, in a curious article en-
titled How Folks Marry" expresses
extreme disapproval and disgust of the
French marriage system. He contrasts
with good deal of rough power the
different lives led, after the age of 10
years old, of the boys and girls who till
that time had been playmates and lead
ing practically the same existence.
After this happy natural sort of life the
paths of the brother and sister widely
diverge; the son goes to the lycee,
which has been described as an "irky
Styx," where some may swim but many
drown, whilst the daughter is either
brought up in tender sheltered home
or sent to good educational convent,
where she is, if possible, even more pro-
tected from outside evil Influences than
under her mothers wing. NJ. lola
makes it quite clear that he leans to the
American system of education. 1t
would be interesting to know what
course he pursues with his own chill
dren, two bright-faced little people who

He held it nearer the lantern. He
glanced at it, stared, recoiIed, and, gasp
ing for breath, fell back against the sta
bic door as if struck there by powerful
blow.
The lantern went jangling to the floor.
Into his eyes came a weird, superstitious
dread, a namelesS horror.
The truth was revealed now. No need
to seek further for the identity of perse-
Cuted Flora Merwyn's mysterious friend.

Chnan White SnOncea.

1t is well to be economical, but there
is no economy in buying certain articles
because they are offered at low prices.
Attention has frequently been called, for
instance, to the white spOnges which
are offered for sale By street peddlers
and at cheap fancy-gOCds shops. To
begin with, they are not what they are
represented to be, namely, fine spOnges.
On the contrary, they are very coarse,
as a rule, their high color being due to
a liberal use of chloride of lime. There
would be no harm in this artificial
bleaching process were the salt entirely
washed out Of the sponge by soaking it
in clear water or by solution of anti
chlorine. But this is not done, as your
nose will tell you, and the result has
been that people who have used the
spOnges for toilet purposes have been
affected with infiamei and smarting
eyes. Concerning the use Of chloride
of lime by these dealers in cheap
sponges, a story is told by New York
paper that it is to disinfect the spOngcs,
necessary process, because of the pre-
vious uses to which they have been de-
voted washing wounds on hospital pa
TENTS, and other nameless, but imagin-
able service. 1t is difficult to believe
that the hospital authorities would
permit sponges once used by them
to be disposed of at any price But
the sale of them by thoughtless, if
not unprincipled, servants1 could easily
be effected without the knowledge of
the supervisors of a hospital. Even if
they are not sold by servants, they may,
sooner or later, reach the rag picker's
hook, and from that pass to the bleach
kettle. The place to put them where
they will do the least harm is the boiler
furnace.

man sat down in q store and took from
his pocket large silver watch which

wind it with key. Do you ever pause

grave, how seldom such a thing hap

ago nearly all watches were wound with
keys. The old man in the store seemed
like a connecting link between the dead

blew IN the key to remove the dust and
fitted it to the watch and wound and

The other day, when it was pouring
rain, a citizen turned aside to enter a
store on Michigan avenue, the door Of
which was open. He made several at
tempts to push the umbrella in before
him, but the space would not permit.
He was standing there, looking puzzled
and annoyed, when the dealer came to
the door and asked:

"The door is not wide enough to ad-

"Ah. l see-just wait"
And he straightway flung open the
