Women's Feet Enlarging.

Said an observing shoemaker recently: Ut is a positive fact that women's feet arc decidedly larger than few years ago. 1 can recall when woman who asked for size in her shoes almost invariably apologized in manner or words. Now 5's are almost the average size, and 6's are in great demand. The physical culture craze is responsible for this. Young women who tramp, play tennis and now golf . simply cannot do it in narrow, tight boots any longer. As to the French heel only actresses and women who ape their modes wear them in the street any more. The really fashionable women use them still for dress shoes, but never for walking boots,

Weary and Died.
 There is a queer character in the Chi nese quarter in New York city. He Is a burly Irishman, pugilist, called Chuck Connors. He earns precarious living by piloting inquisitive persons through the Chinese quarter who desire to eat Chi nese dinner or visit the Mongolian theater in Doyers street. The physical prowess of Connors has been so well established by frequent successful encounters that par. ty under his charge Is cons idered even safer than if policeman acted as guar dian.
 A custom has sprung up recently among the charitable women of aristocratio New P York to adopt an unfortunate child in the tenement house district and to care for 1t in a material and moral way without talk ing 1t homo. A short time ago party Of women, among whom was the wife of we'll known editor, went to Chinatown to secure the cooperation of Connors in their search for picturesque wards. The round heart of the pugilist was profoundly touched by this indication of sympathy, and he promised to do his best to secure a child for each oi the women.
 He started out immediately to fulfill his trust. Connors' impression was that only |CdScS Ol PGCulihI dh0 peViCoio NiOooiiSu ness would be suitable, and so he travelled Sup and down dingy stairways, poking his nose into open doorways and making con, scientious efforts to find 0 child who was cruelty i'll used or deformed At last his search was rewarded. He found an Ital- ian baby whom nature had treated cruelty and went away delighted The next day the editors wife, with daintily lifted skirts, threaded her way through the moi some street, and Connors came running to meet her, N 5t
 Well, Chuck" said she impatiently "did you find baby for meP'
 "Yes, ma am, !" replied Connors dole fully ''I had the bulliest little dago kid, wid hump on his back an twisted legs all saved up for ye, but las night he fool ed me-"
 "Fooled youl' was the puzzled exclama- tion.
 "Yes, ma a'am, continued Connors. "He didn't know de good graft wot was await in for i'm, an so he got tired O livinsan croaked. '-New York Recorder.

THEN HE STUDIED LAW.

A. T. Stewart summariIy Discharged Bourke
 Cochran, His Porter.
 The Hon. Bourke Cochran tells story about the late A. T. Stewart which is characteristic of the great dry goods mer- chant The congressman and orator be- gan life in Now York as porter in Stew arts Chambers street store and spent most of his time among tho dry goods cases in the cellar It was dark place to work In, and Cochran naturally kept himself supplied with matches. One day Mr. Stewart had visitor whom he desired to show through his probably Q rival to whom he wanted to show the ex- tent of his importations. Finding Cock ran in the cellar, he ordered him to go up ! stairs and get match to light the gas with, whereupon the always ready porter drew his matchbox from his pocket and promptly struck light. The old mer- chant said nothing at the time, but after 7ho had shown his visitor through the place he camc down stairs and summoned the porter.
 Why didn't ye go up stairs and get the lucifers, as was telling yei" said Stewart ahgrily.
 .''But I had them in my pocket, sir, y responded Cochran.
 < Had them in yerc pocket, eh?" retort. ed Stewart. ''So ye're carrying matches about with ye in this cellar, oh? And exposing us all to the reesk of conf1agra- tionl Ye can go up stairs to the cashier and get yere money from him as soon as ye please. I want no such thoughtless creature about the place.
 That was when the Hon. Bourke Cock ran made up his mind to study law.-New York Press.

Wrecked Ship Gosford.

The tug Fearless arrived recently
from San Diego with John D.
Spreckels and family as passengers.
On the trip from the south the tug
stopped at the wreck of the British
ship Gosford at Point Conception.
The Gosford was bound here with
coal consigned to John D. Spreck-
els d Brother. She caught fire at
sea and q run was made for the
coast. Several attempts were made
to raise the vessel, but she stuck
hard and fast. John D. Spreckels
was seen on Change, and said that
the Gosford is lying on a sandy
bottom with her masts and spars
intact. She is full of water, her
decks being below low tide several
feet, and just her ends stick out.
To get the water out of her she will
have to be bulkheaded. Mr.. Spreck-
els says that he has no doubt that
the vessel can be raised. He has
received several offers to that effect,
and it is possible that in a short
time another attempt will be made
to save the valuable vessel. We
had the Gosport bulkheaded once
before" said Mr.. Spreckels, "and
we would have raised her that time
but for the storm which came up
and destroyed ali our work. IS. F.

The Porte il at Sea,

LONDON, Dec. 10.-A dispatch to
the Standard from Constantinople
says that the Sultan has not &C
quiesced in the matter of Consul
Milo Hewett who was sent by Pres
ident Cleveland to inquire and re-
port upon the Turkish Outrages in
Armenia. The dispatch adds that
the Sultan appears to fear the effect
OF an independent report on the
Washington government. Sir p.
Currier, the British AMBASSADOR to
Turkey, is in active cOmmunica-
ton with the Porte and the foreign
EN- bassies. 1t is believed with
good reason he is pressing the Porte
to accept some measure that will
satisfy the outraged public opinion
of Europe. The Porte is complete
ly alive to the gravity Of the situa-
tion and seems to fear either col
lective movement from the powers
or an agreement between Russia
and Great Britain for a Russian
occupation Of Armenia.
