HAVE THE SMALLEST HANDS.
American Women Take tho Lead, Fol-
lowed by Their Sister, of Austria.

American Women Take tho Lead, Fol-
lowed by Their Sssters of Austria.
The women of North America have
the smallest hands in the world, and
next to them come the Austrian, Span
ish, French and Italian ladies. Those
Of the fair Spaniard, according to the
New York Tribune, are often spoiled
by coarse fingers, rounded at the tips
Russians have long, but beautifully
formed hands. The hands of English
women of rank are aristocratically
shaped, but they are long and some
times too dry. The French grande
dame takes the best care of her hands
all the world over. Germans are gen.
orally endowed with large and fat
ones with enormous fingers. A typical
beautiful hand is that of Duchesse
de Mocchy fnee Anna Murat); it is
very small, delicately formed, with
taper fingers curved little at the ex-
tremities, and almond nails. The hand
of Vicomtesse de- Galard is exquisite.
1t recalls Canova's statues, of which
the hands are smaller and more arts
tocratic than those of the famous
Greek models. Two of the Austrian
archducbesses are noted for their
lovely hands, archduchess Eliza
beth, mother of Queen Christina
of Spain, and Archduchess Maria
Theresa sister-in-law of Emperor
Francis Joseph. OF fair Frenchwomen
who can boast of a charming hand the
dpchesses of Ayen and Mouchy are
zmong the best known; also Princess
de la Tour d'Auvergne and Princess de
Nagram, Duchess de Luynes and
Princess de Polk, Mines Yturbe and de
Mieri, though Spaniards, have hands
as perfect as their feet, and Duchess
de Morny is another of the peninsular
beauties whose hands are good. A
charming specimen of the Russian
hand is that of Duchess de Sesto-long,
but superbly made, while those of
Duchessyde la Rouchefoucauld and of
Lady Randolph Churchill, nee Jerome,
afford illustrations OF the lovely little
hand of the North American woman.
Most Parisiennes wear 6L or ee<
gloves, These are not the smalles
sizes for a pretty hand, but are those
worn by many of the fairest of the sex,
nevertheless; for tight glove is a por-
feet jabomination. 1t makes the hand
look larger tnstssd of smaller.

TIE CONDUCTOR OUTWITTED.
A Sheriff Who Would Not Let . Railroad
Law Bother Him

A Sheriff Who Would Not Let q Railroad
Law Bother Him
A ludicrous row over the separate
coach law occurred on the Cincinnati
Southern road recently. Sheriff Rob
erts, of Boone county, had a white and
colored prisoner, destined for the peni-
Tertiary in this city, and took them
both in the colored coach. The con-
ductor, evidently not informed that
nurses and prisoners are exempt from
the provisions Of the law, insisted that
the sheriff should leave the colored car
and take his white prisoner with him,
says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The sheriff refused to separate them.
but took both TO the white car. The
conductor then told him he would have
to place his colored prisoner in the
proper ear, and the sheriff replied he
would not do 1t, and If put of would
sue the company. The row became
threatening, and the sheriff. n order
TO avoid trouble, went back into the
colored car when the train stopped,
and when again seen by the conductor
got back into the white car. In this
way they quarre1ed over the whole
route to Georgetown. but the sheriff
landed his prisoners IN the peaiten-
nary securely locked together.

Three Deals Which the Court Thinks

MILWAUKEE. April 14-Judge jenkins
this afternoon handed down an opinion in
the motion of the Northern Pacific Com
pany to refer the petition for the removal
of Receivers Thomas F. Oakes. Henry C.
Payne and Henry c. Rouse, to master in
chancery for proof and the decision is
complete exon GRAFTON of all the receivers
but Mr.. Oakes. OF the charges against
him three will be referred to master,
that accusing him of a knowledge of cor
ruption on the part of the directors of the
company in the acquisition of the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba Railroad, in the ac-
QUESTION of Rocky Forks and Cook County
lines, and that charging him with having
knowledge of the fact tnat Directors
Colby, Abbot, Willard and Hoyt were max
ing profit of S6.000.000 out of the leasing
of the Chicago terminals. In all other
respects Mr.. Oakes' conduct was held to
be above in vestigation and the remaining
charges Of the petitioners were not con-
sidered
1t was not conceded that the charges of
corrupt transactions On the part of any
directors were well grounded. and he took
particular pains to say that no one sus-
pected Mr.. Oakes of being interested in
any of the deals.
The Judge raid high tribute to all the
receivers for their ability. and especially
to Mr.. kes, who was so long connected
with the Southern Pacific as an official.
The three deals which i: is thought by
the court Mr.. Oakes might have prevented
are said to have cost the Northern Pacific

Arrested Because He Could Not Pay
A1imonV.


NEW YORK, April 14.-After paying all
mony for twenty years Charles Monks
fell i'll and was unable to keep up his pay
ments. At the suit Of his divorced wife
he was before Judge Gilders;eeve to-day
on motion to punish him for contempt
of court because he was S310 in arrears.
Monks is 70 years old. and his wife
is 60. He claims to be the first inventor
of brass and metal signs which he en-
graves. They have had six children.
three of whom are living. In 1865 Mrs.
Monks began an action against her hus-
band for a separation on the ground of
cruelty. She secured SO week alimony
and 5000 counsel fees. The action was
never pressed to trial and until 1879
Monks paid his wife the alimony ordered
by the court.
On April II, 1879. Monks secured an or
der from the court reducing the alimony
to SIS a week because of her failure to
prosecute, and this ne paid her until jan
uary 7, 1893. when he became III, and the
alimony has since been allowed to fall in
arrears. To secure his arrest for his fail
ure 20 pay she had the motion made.
1t was argued that Mrs. Monks in De-
cember last had her husband arrested for
abandonment, and arraigned before Police
Judge Jordan of Brooklyn. Monks was
discharged, ana he was also discharged by
Police Justice Koch before whom she sub
sequently had him arrai2ned. 1t was said
Monks had not abandoned her, but that
she had left him. 1t was charged that be-
lore the separation she drank SO that she
frequently came home In a wheelbarrow
not able to walk.
Lawyer NJ. Sharkey, who represented
Mrs. Monks. said that she had sued her
husband in 1867 for absolute divorce on
the statutory ground. and that now Monks
was living with another woman. The
lawyer asked that Monks either be COM
telled to give bond for the payment OF
the arrears and future aIimony, or that he
be sent to Jail. Decision was reserved.
