mer time. To walk in them was a
torture, and to get out of them no
less; but the dandy submitted to all
with the devotion Of new-made
saint and the imperturbable f1rmness
Of martyr.
The peaked bonnet OF which we give
an illustration was the fashion dur
ing the reigns of the Plantagenets,
but died out, as 1t ought to have done
before, In the reign Of Elizabeth.
Another of our illustrations deals
with the toilet of a fashionable wo-
man in 1859. The TONER mode Of
dressing the hair necessitated a new
kind of headdress. This, of which
we print an illustration, consisted
chiefly of laces, gauze, wire, and rib
bons and feathers, intended to pro-
tect rather than weigh down the i'm
mense head which.it covered. Equal
ly ungraceful and fashionable was
the monstrous cap of the fair Mary
Anne Robinson, the first love of King
George ".

death by the slow process OF starVa-
ton and exposure in cage.
This sentence was first carried out
on the ringleader and one morning,
early in September, he was placed IN
the cage, standing upright on pie
of bricks foot high, with his mead
projecting above, and his neck tightly
fitted into hole in the roof.
There he stood in crowded street,
the burning sun pouring it's fierce
rays upon him, without food ordrlnk,
and jeered at by the passers-by VINO
regarded the whole thing as a very
good joke His sufferings must have
been imaginable for the three days
that his wretched life lasted. Or.
the evening Of the third day one OF
the attendants, possibly moved by
pity, possibly wearied by his long
watch, knocked the pile of bricks
from under the malefactor's feet,
leaving the body suspended by the
lower jaw and slow strangulation put
an end to what remnant Of life there
was in about twenty minutes. The
body, the following day, was removed
in the cage to an open space beyond
the city to be exposed as a warning
to evil doors before final burial.

EMBEZZLER WEEKS goes to priS

EMBEZZLER WEEKS goes to prison
for ten years His "high connections
and social standing" did not avail tt
secure tightening of his punish
ment when he was brought before
Recorder Smyth for sentence. He
received the extreme penalty of the
law, and he deserved it, 1t is to be
hoped that his fate may serve as q
warning to other would-be embezZlcr>
Of trust funds. Weeks was the mean
est Of all sWindlers. He took ad
vantage, not of shrewd and capable
business men, but of widows ano
rphans-hclples women whose al
was intrusted to his care. 1t is said
that Weeks wept when he was SEN
fenced If he did he shed crocodile
tears. His whole career has shown
that he is utterly destitute of feel
ing. He plundered the helpless and
reduced those who trusted him tC
perjury. He was a mean, sneaking
thief, and he has got what he de-
served.

A READER of the New York World
having asked in what cipher its no.
ticeably complete South American
dispatches are received, the World
prints the fac-simile of bill of the
Anglo American Telegraph Company
for dispatch of $3.50 words on the
9th of October, amounting to
s2,797. 20. and the fac-simile of bill
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company for cable service from
Buenos Ayres on the same day
1,S45 words for 81, 124. 80. The World
informs the inquiring reader that
while telegraph tolls have declined,
the public appetite for news has
grown a thousand-fold, and the old
time brief cipher cablegrams are no
longer satisfying. People generally
are aware of the fact that it takes
large amount OF money to meet the
demands of the readers of daily news
papers for the news of the world.
But with many the traditional paste
pot and shears and the well-known
inventiveness of the journalistic
mind are credited with much that
costs large amount Of money every
day. The inquiry under comment
and the fac-simile OF the Worlds
bills for two kilograms are proof OF
this assertion.

many hungry people in Chicago this
winter, not because the business sit
uation is particularly discouraging-
it is noty-but because idle men flock
to the cities when snow begins to fly.
The opening Of the soup kitchen or
Canal street is therefore wise pro
vision for the future. The record OF
the institution shows that there arc
already many persons who are ia

grows colder the kitchen will have
more patrons, and by New Years the

not be given the Jewish women who
are managing the institution. They
are conducting a practical work OF
charity in an unostenta tiOus way:
they are relieving all corners, with
out regard to creed, race. or color,
and they are conducting the work at
their own expense. They deserve the
moral support of the community in
their philanthropic undertaking. Ma

UNDOUBTEDLY much unn oceSsary
alarm has been caused by the reports
of an apparent epidemic of crankism
throughout the country. Stories
have come from all quarters of the
performances of crazy or half-witted
persons, and it has been assumed
that the assassination of Mayor Har-
rison by Prendergast stirred all these
people into activity. AS matter Of
fact probably not one Of these cranks
had heard Of Prcndergast's crime.
They were simply following out the
Authorizations Of their diseased
minds, and the Harrison assassina-
ton gave their actions prominence
which they would not otherwise have
obtained. That is to say, the cranks
were no more numerous than usual
but, instead of attracting little or no
attention, they were exploited by the
newspapers, thus giving rise to the
impression that half the population
of the country was going crazy. I'm
der ordinary circumstances we should
have heard nothing of them. 1t was
Prendergast who brought them into
notoriety, but Prendergast's crime
was not responsible for their actions.

The members OF local Union No. 9,
A. F. G. w. o., composed Of workmen
in factories 80" and 81" United States
Glass Company, was held yesterday
afternoon, at Trades Assembly Hall.
The situation relative TO the strike
was discussed only In an
informal way, and nothing new bearing
on the situation was developed. The
strikers are receiving weekly benefits
from the national body amounting to
S. and Sc each.
The local gassworkers take a very
hopeful view OF the situation, and say
they are prepared for a long fight.
Speaking OF the proposition to pur-
chase one or both OF the local factories
by local capital, well-known member
OF local Union No. Q, suggested
that an arrangement might be made
by which workmen could be induced TO
take stock, in the event that the
United States Company would consent
to sell, aud pay for it out OF portion
OF their weekly earnings. he had not
talked with any OF the men on the sub
iect, however, and was not prepared 10
say whether such proposition would
be favorably received.
It understood that meeting OF
business men Interested 10 the project
to purchase one or both Of the local
factories, will be held tonight at the
Chamber OF Commerce.

CoLoRED FIRE LADIES
Make Rome Howl at Belialre and Use
Policeman BADLY.


Bellaire has q fire company on Gravel
Hill that is composed OF colored men.
Saturday night the company iollited at
the hose house. Beer was consumed In
plenty and as the hour grew late the
bremen became boisterous and awak-
ened the nelghborhood. Officer Bush,
of that ward, was compelled 10 act and
he tackled the mob shortly after mid
night. He was given q warm reception.
The boys formed a circle around the
''blue coat" and made his life
miserable. Bush was used rough
ly and his mace thrown into
the river. Shortly after a scrim-
mage took place and before 1t ended
one of the participants was thrown
over the embankment, back OF the hose
house. The fellow fell about IS feet
down to the c. & p. railroad. = The Off
Ger got out OF the crowd and returned
with an assistant. A big darkey was
captured and started toward the lock-
up. For over half an hour the officer
aud helper tngged with the colored
man, who insisted on pulling over
trees, loosening pallng fences, etc.
Most every time the darkey resisted
the policeman and darkey had a war OF
words. The policeman insisted on
calling the prisoner darkey - -
and the colored man retaliated by call
ing the officer q Ouch - -. The
whole population of the Fifth ward was
stirred ufrom It's slumbers. The darkey
was finally locked up, The officer sus-
tanned several injuries, but was on duty
yesterday again. 1t is likely the whole
fire company will be Arrested, and the
Fifth was will be without fire protec'
tion for time.

The old B. & o. round house near
rwenty-ninth street presents most de-
lected looking appearance. People who
take delight apparently in smashing
things are Kidding the large windows
and now there is not a whole pane OF
glass in the many large windows OF the
structure. Sweeney's old foundry is
another place which is presenting
more desolate look every day. Persons
have already carried away about all the
loose wood at the once prosperous plant,
the glass is being stolen and broken and
now even the bricks are being carried
away. Some of the walls are tottering
and soon WI fall and the result may be
feared unless something is done. The
boys are not to be blamed entirely for
these actions.
