ly described the courses and surround
ings of an old Greek banquet. The fair
artist was so taken by the glowing de
scriptiOn that she determined to have
feast under her own gilded roof in every
particular similar to that given by As
pasta. The cook, having been furnished
with recipes for Greek sauces, proceeded
to business Immediately. and succeeded
in serving q genuine Athenian dinner,
consisting of cells and birds, garnished
with honey figs, olives and grapes of Cor
NTH, together with a score or so of other
dainty delcacies of more or less classic
origin. This feast was spread over an
antique table surrounded with Grecian
touches rich with draperies.
While the guests partOok of the good
things set before them, DeHlle, the poet
ROBBED in royal purple, thrummed on
golden Tyre, singing Anacreonic ditties,
and surrounded by beVy of pretty young
maidens dressed in tUnics. with classic
coinures, representing the nine muses. of
Mount Parnassus, while two girl slaves
served Cyprian wine in cups brought
from HerculaHeum. This gorgeous enter
tainment, that would have gladdened the
soul or rather the palate, of Lucullus,
was the talk of Paris for weeks afterward
and cost the extravagant hostess the
smart sum of $1,000
Nine. lie Brun found herself the queen
of the fashionable world, second only to
Marie Antoinette. Just al the moment
when this brilliant butterfly was enjoy
ing herself to the utmost extent, fitting
from rose TO rose in the Partisan parter-
res of pleasure, her sovereigns were ar
rested and shortly afterward executed by
order of the revolutionary committee. A
long list of suspected aristocratic names
was drawn up by the same committee,
hers being among the number. Most of
these mobiles fell victims to the guillo-
tine; others escaped. Nine. lie Brun left
Paris in the dead of night in 1888 dis
guised as a page, as she heard that a war
rant was issued for her arrest, and pro-
ceeded by slow stages to Naples, where
she executed a portrait of the wife OF
Lord Hamilton and the great friend of
Nelson, the British war dog, in the pose
of bacchante reclining on the seashore.
Goethe was a great admirer of this and
other pictures from the brush of this
highly gifted lady artist. She subsequent
ly lived in Vienna, where, at the imperial
court, she was received and welcomed as
the friend and companion of the hapless
Marie Antoinette From Vienna she went
to St Petersburg, where she was hon
ored by Catherine II. and by Paul l. Re
turning to France in 1905, she gave bril-
liant entertainments under the empire and
the restoration.
Her worthless husband died in 1913
His widow survived him thirty years, dy-
ing in 1913, at the advanced age of 81. The
sum total of her artistic work comprises
662 portraits and 200 landscape pieces
Her ability as a society woman was
much greater than her fame as an artist
She was a stately, dignified woman, witty
and brilliant in conversation, fascinating
in manners, and shone to more advan-
tage in a ballroom than perhaps she did
in a studio.

pERAILEp BY A BULL.
He Charged Upon the Locomotive and
1t and Two Cars Went Over.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
San Bernardino. Oct. 9.-The man who
drew the picture of a wild bull madly
charging a locomotive. and followed the
first page illustration with a companion
piece showing how disastrous was the re-
suit to the attacking party, evidently was
not acquainted with the Arizona animal.
He is not built on that plan at ALL and the
seventy-five passengers who were on the
Santa Fe overland which was ditched near
Williams yesterday have elevated the
monarch of the desert to the position oc
cupied by the king of beasts before San
dow vanquished the lion Commodore.
The product of the Arizona sands chal-
lenged one of the Santa Fe's big passenger
engines attached to the overland and.
when the dust of conflict had lifted, it took
a wrecking crew a day to clear away the
damage wrought in less than minute.
The train was speeding along when the
engineer discovered the bull standing on
the track half a mile ahead. evidently hav-
ing just become aware of the fact that he
had a rival in the vicinity. AS the train
approached, the bull nothing loath,
started to meet it, A succession of
screeches from the whistle only served to
quicken the animals speed But by this
time steam had been shut off by the en-
geineer and the train came to a stop, leav-
ing the rampant taurus master of the
field. This was quite satisfactory to the
latter and he turned and walked with
stately tread across the sands.
The train started down the track and the
bull once more charged the engine. He
struck the locomotive just between the
driving wheels, the second one passing
over his neck. The obstruction lifted the
engine into the air and sent it rolling over
the bank, while the two baggage cars fol-
lowed, breaking loose from the balance
of the train and clear of the track. The
passenger cars rolled on past the wreck,
and the passengers were not aware of the
trouble until they saw the wrecked loco
motive. The engineer and fireman were
slightly hurt, and only the bull lost his

Skulls for Drinking Cups.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The barbarous custom of converting the
skulls of enemies into drinking cups was
a common one IN ancient times among
the fierce tribes of northern Europe, and
was not unknown to the people of the
more civilized regions farther south. The
Italian poet, Marine, causes an assem-
blage of friends to quaff their wine from
the skull of Minerva, and in his "W onder
of Kingdom" Torrent makes DalIker
say:
Would had ten thousand soldiers heads,
Their skulls set all in silver, to drink
healths
To his confusion who first invented war
Thos. Middleton, a dramatic writer of
the early part of the seventeenth century,
is believed to be the originator of the
phrase, "A soldiers drinking cup" as APP
piled to a human skull. In 1.-THE Witch I"
one of his most celebrated plays, THE
Duke" takes a bowl which he is told is a
human skull. whereupon he exclaims
Call it a soldiers cup;
oar Duchess, know, will pledge us, tho
the cup
Was once her fathers head, which, as a
trophy,
Wen keep till death.
One Of the delights OF the immortals, as
represented in the old Scandinavian Sagas

Nerne's efforts in that line.
That one-time star of festive gatherings,
Mr.. Frederick Gebhardt, has formally an
nounced his retirement from the gay
world known as society. This news is
quite shock to many animated circles in
the metropolis, and is the social news of
the moment. Mr.. Gebhardt has deter
mined to lead quiet and retired life, and
IS understood to have connected himself
with some banking interests. He is, in
short, man of business. Those who pre-
dicted that Mr. Gebhardt would never do
as a husband are really astounded at the
great change that has come over the man.
Mr. Gebhardt is pronounced the fondest
of men where his wife is concerned, and
1t seems to be his purpose to settle down
and never be lively again. The clubs of
the metropolis cannot get used to their
dear old Freddie as a family man. but
Mr. Gebhardt himself is determined that
they shall in time. When he last ap-
peared in the Union Club the one-time
leader of bowling swells declared that no
man is worthy of the name of American

AFTER IS YEARS SEARCH.
The Long Lost Sister Found Living
Near the Tireless Searcher.
From De Phlladelphla Record.


A remarkable reunion of sisters. sep
arated from each other since they were
barcfooted tots twenty-nine years ago,
has just taken place in Philadelphia
They have lived near each other in this
city much of that time, yet neither knew
of the others existence anywhere, and
much less dreamed that they were at
times within a stones throw of each
other and each intimately acquainted with
friends of the other. The search for her
sister which Mrs. John s. Brown. now
of Vine street near Eleventh. has pros

success.
The wife of Denny b. Howell of 7O1

cape the cruel treatment Of stepfather
While the runaway tot stood in the Phil
adelphia railway station, at loss where
to go or what to do, she met lady who
took her home with her and employed her
as a childs nurse. Happy in her new
surroundings, she was afraid to let
her mother know her whereabouts for
fear her cruel stepfather would come and
take her home. As years rolled by she
lost all recollections Of her family.
In 1871 Lizzie Adams, Lavinia's half sis
ter, came to this city to live. The two girls
unknown to each other while living in
various parts OF the city were almost IN
the immediate neighborhood Of each
other At one time while the elder sis
ter was living at Thlrty-sixth and Spring
Garden streets, Lizzie was stopping at
Thirty-fourth and Haverford streets, and
the latter actually became acquainted
with people who knew Mrs. Howell but
were ignorant that her name had been
Schroeder.
Al their mothers dying request in 1890
