GIRTON GIRLS FAILING.
Mrs. Lyman Linton Paints Them III
Black ColorS i'll 4 New Story.
Go be Continued.)

New York Herald:-If the English
college girl is in the least like the por-
traits painted of her by One of her
own countrymen, the president of these
United States should proclaim another
thanksgiving day to celebrate the fact
that the American college girl is very
different. Mrs Lynn Linton has al.
ways regarded the modern girl with
jaundiced eyes, but the things she
makes the Girton wOmen in her new
story. '"The One Too Many do and
say, would be sufficient ground for
4 libel suit on the part of that instit,l-
ton.
The story is now running in dn Eng
lish magazine. None of the women
who adorn its pages are e~ndurable, but
the college girls are atrociouS. They
go about clad in as close imitation of
their brothers as possible. They smoke
and drink, not like young women bad
bling a little in Bohemianism, but like
troopers. They swear in choice Bill
ingsgate. When they ar in polite So
ciety they are i~nsufferably rude to the
people who are not prepared to talk
on differentia1 calculus and kindred
topics. In their mild moments their
language is not quite so profane, but
is slangy beyond comparison. They
decline polite invitations in a style
which the most cultured of the group
calls an "eye-opener," and another
member says is something to make
that little pig MORA look up" MORA
being the possible hostess. But this
language is gentle compared to that
which they frequently indulge in.
Their fine sense of delicacy is shown
by the way in which one of them
speaks to her hostess of that lady's
husband.
Il say, Moira," she says, did not
that old prig Of yours forbid you to
ask me! Come, out with the truth"
On the whole, the distinguished
railer at the cause Of progress has so
overdrawn and caricatured the woman
of higher education that her story falls
short Of its purpose. One can not take
it seriously.
She has said one thing lately that is
worthier of her intellect than the thinly
disguised attack on college women.
That is in an article on Putting Up
with It. We all begin life, she says,
in an arrogant spirit, determining to
yield nothing of our rights, especially
of the right, for the sake of expediency.

ANNIE PIXLEY'S WILL.
No Provision Made in 1t For Her
Family's Care.

New York, Feb. 5.-Great surprise
has been expressed among actors late
~ that the family Of the late Annie
PiXley should have been left entirely
~unprovided for by the popular actress.
who, it will be remembered, died ia
London a few months ago. The family
has kept very quiet about it. but it Il
understood that the matter is being
carefully looked into and that the
whole affair will be investigated in the
courts. Robert Fulford, Miss Pixley's
husband, has never returned from Lon
don and no attempt has been made by
him to discuss his wife's affairs. Miss
PlXley, it is claimed, died worth $780,
BOO. She had a $4,000 interest in the
Park theatre, Philadelphia. real es-
tate in Texas and in other sections
of the country. The property, it APP
pears, was al in Mr.. Fulford's name.
for the actress was a very bad woman
of business and had no ideas upon the
management of her affairs. a
There is a gentleman now in this
city who is willing to swear that Miss
Pixley, a few months before her death.
told him that she intended to provide
for her family. This family consists
of her mother, two sisters, Alice and
Lucy, and two brothers, Gus and
Starr. Miss PiXley was a warm-heart-
ed, affectionate and most lovable Wo-
man, and members of her family can
not believe that she forgot them. The
report is that she left no will at all.
~ lAa,,,,Ant ln, HOO, -oJ-~- -
In fact nothing has been spoken of by
Mr.. Fulford, who kept 4 close watch
upon her possessions. They say he was
seriously annoyed at the losses she Sus-
tanned the last two season of her ca
reer.
The World says: The mother and
sisters of the late Annie PlXley, the
actress, who died in London Nov. s
last, will take immediate steps to bring
out the full facts and circumstances
connected with her death. Mrs. Pix
ley said today: II have hitherto said
nothing in regard to my daughters
death. I told my children to keep
silent too. We hoped that Mr.. FulfOrd,
my daughters husband, would inform
us of the truth regarding her death. I
have given him every opportunity to
do so, and now I am going to try and
find out myself. On Nov. Q | got a
cablegram from him saying: Annie
is dead T cabled back within an
hour, Have her body sent home to me-
The answer I got was most brutal.
He said that he had had the body Gre
mated, and that the ashes were in his
possession. Then he said he had
known my daughter was going TO die
before he took her away. | nave that
with his name signed to it. l have

CHIQUIrA.
A Legend Of Santa Clara.

Her name? Chiquita. All, senior,
See how the seaweed winds around
her!
Dead? Yes, for many hours before
[ came and found her.
The gentle waves had laid her down
Here on the sands, and heaped her
over
With soft, understanding foam. and
brown
Long1eaved sea clover.
And bark! The seagulls sing her dirge,
And all the chorus of the ocean
Makes mournful music. surge on surge.
In sweet devotion.
Last night she lay within these arms
Her mothers arms, senior, no other,
And in her sleep beheld the charms
OF sleeps twin brother.
1 know, for while I watched her tears
Cleaned in the low light of the
emberS;
And then she sighed the sigh one
hearS
And-one remembers.
From out her troubled lips words came
Mixed with the sigh, words wet with
sorrow.
Il die for thee" and then a name,
And then, tomorrow"
1 did not understand, you see.
How could 1 know her hours were
numbered?
But God had willed this thing to be,
And IL slumbered.
Well, now 1 find her dead and cold.
Senior, the story is old, but never
Castilian blood grows cold or old
1t burns hot ever.
Therefore 1 do not blame her; no
Others have loved with song and
laughter,
And then, through loving, learned to
What woe comes after.
Love is a glorious thing, senior,
When in the dusk guitars are play
ing,
And ON the smooth adobe floor
The dance is swaying.
But love is bitter when he goes
And days pass on and leave her
weeping
The SUI has blighted many a rose
Given to his keeping.
Well, SO the world was made, and 1
Do not lament that darkness covers
The shining brightness Of the sky
That smiles on lovers.

But pride sustained me still, although
My pride was humbled.
Pride in Chiquita-that was strong:
Pride in myself-there's none re-
naming;
This was my secret. Right or wrong
I'm not complaining.
That so it was, or that all pride
Has left me now-au things are SEEM

No more, and rocking with the tide
There is no dreaming.
Chiquita! Daughter! We shall be
Racked by regret from henceforth
never;
I seek the silence of the sea
Farewell-forever!

CHAPTER.
RICHOU.

The cavalier whom Candles had
saluted by the name Of Richou. having
come from Paris. through Bordeaux,
brought with him the latest Jews.
The young vicomte listened silently,
while he talked of the Imprisonment
Of the princes, and of the parliament
at Bordeaux. but said at last
Madame la Princesse is at Chantil-
w."
This was the name always given to
the Duchesse de Condo.
Yes" replied Richou; "and she eX-
poets You there as soon as possible.
She is in Il real exile there; she and
her mother-in-law are watched most
strictly, for it is thought they are
plotting something in favor of the
princes. Unhappily, the money, as
usual a propos, have you received what
was due? I was begged to ask you"
81 have, with great trouble, collected
10000 francs, which I have here In
gold. that is all"
THAT is all! It is easy to see that
you are a millionaire, vicomte, to
speak so contemptuously of such a
sum at such a time; 10000 francs! why,
we shall be richer than the king, al
though not so rich as NJ. de Mazarin.'
"Then you think, Richou, that this
humble offering will be accepted by
Madame Ia PrincesseT'
"With gratitude; you bring her
enough to pay an army"
DO you think we shall want one?'
"ASSuredly. and are occupied in rails
ing one. NJ. de acknowledgements has
enrolled four hundred gentlemen, under
the pretext of attending his fathers
funeral; NJ. le due Bouillon goes with
as many more to Guienne: NJ. de
Turenne has promised to make a de-
scent upon Paris, to surprise Vim
cennes, and carry off the princes; he
will have thirty thousand men, all his
army, which he brings over from the
royal camp. Things are going on well,
and we shall gain some eclat.'
Have you met NJ. lie Due d'Eper-
non?' interrupted the young man.
How should / have met him?'

"Ah, that explains the presence OF
NJ. de Candles here"
DO you know him?"
Yes; l might say | vas his friend,
only that he is noble, and l am a
poor commoner."
"CommonerS like you, Richou, are
equal to the princes in Il situation;
but do you know I saved him from a
beating. or something worse"
"Ah, he said something about it. but
[ was in too great a hurry to come UP
to listen to him. Are you sure he die

He could not do that, for he had
never seen me-"
II should have said, guessed who
you areE'
"Well, he looked very hard at me-
Richou smiled, and said.-
II dare say: III does not every da!

HE seemed very gay and joyous"

We'll. my father was an advocate
Twenty-eight years ago he was still
! young and handsome. He had loved
before his marriage, the mother of NJ
de Candles. She was refused to him
because she was. noble, and he was
not. They met on a iourney-and-
you now understand"
Yes; but why did Your affection fol
NJ. de Canolles only awaken so recent
ly?'
Because it was only at my fathers
death that | became aware of the tie
that united us. And this secret was
contained in a letter brought to me by
the baron himself"
and where is this letter.
You forget the fire which destroyed
all my papers and valuables."
1T is true
Twenty times I wished to tell you
this story. but he always begged me
to spare his mothers reputation. and
I respected his scruples."
"Ah. really" said the duke, quite
softened. poor Candles"

his fortune"
"This scruple does him honor" said
the duke.

yourself. it is good for all parties that
you have done so. I will make up for
lost time to your brother. You shall
present him to me-. and [ will love him
as a son"
Nanon smiled. But continued the
duke, why does he not come? I will
send to the inn. and fetch him."
"Ah, no." cried Nanon, "he would
know that I had betrayed him"
II will be discrete."
"Ah, my dear duke. you used to care
more for a tete-a-tete," said Nanon.
with an enchanting smile; I'VE will
wait till tomorrow to see Candles"
Before ten thought she, II will
find the means to let him know what

$50 be it." said the duke, sitting down
to table: but with Il return of doubt,
he thought to himself. Il will not
leave her a minute; she shall have no
opportunity to communicate with him"
When they were at supper, Nanon
said.-
"Then I may ask a favor for my

"Peste! He must first have rendered
some service for her Majesty"
"He is ready to render any you will
point out"
"Ohw replied the duke, looking at
her. II have Il mission to the Court,
but that would separate You"
Nanon saw she must not hesitate, so
she replied at Il -.
"Oh. never mind that, my dear duke,
if it will be advantageous for him.
Do nOt think of me-; while your love
remains to me, [ want little else to

we will send for him, and give him

"Ah. mon Dieu!" cried Richou, land

Prosecutor and Defendant Recognize in
One Another Old Time Chumh
A rather dramatic incident occur
red yesterday morning at police
court, where Alderman FitZsimmons
was trying the case of Charles Stanton,
of Binghamton, charged by Liveryman
G. L. Smith with having damaged one
of his carriages.
Stanton hired a carriage from Smith
and when he returned it the box was
badly wrecked. Stanton refused to pay
for the damage, whereupon Smith had
him arrested. When the prosecutor
and defendant were brought face to
face before the alderman's desk they
looked at ono another for a time, then
stared and finally grasDed each others
hands. All that the spectators heard
for the next few minutes was, well

friends when they were poys living in

case was adjourned to the nearest hos
