In my judgment the House cannot

POLICE SPOIL THEIR HONEYMOON
The Mother and the Two
LotharioS Arrested.


LOUISVILLE, KY, July 20.--An elope-
ment from Knoxville, Tenn, has
eliminated in the sensational arrest here
Of all the principals in the affair. Mrs.
Matte Landes, q tino-looking woman,
aged 80 years; William II. Lowell, a
well.drcssed man of 43 years, and G. s.
Jennings, o MISUNDERSTANDING young
man, are all in Jail here.
The three were arrested by detectives
at No. 1702 West Walnut street, on Il
warrant sworn by q. W. Landes OF
Knoxville. Landes who is said to be in
comfortable circumstances financially,
came to Louisville from Knoxville, a
few days ago, and at once called on
Chief Of Detectives Owens and told
him his troubles.
According to his statement his
daughter Nellie, beautiful young
woman, aged 10, had been receiving at
tentions from q. s. Jennings against his
wishes. He also stated that he had sus-
pected his wife of being on much too
friendly terms with William Ii. Lowell.
July 9th, he said, the whole party
cloped, taking with them two smaller
children. The older daughter was ac-
companicd by Jennings The house at
No. 1909 West Walnut street was
rented, and they had been living there
since.
Landes spent nearly two weeks
searching for them before he came to
this city. He secured the assistance of
the detectives, who succeeded in locat-
ing the guilty parties. The oldest
daughter was not locked up, being left
to take care OF the younger children.

Mrs. Josephine Rutlin, widow of a
Boston colored lawyer, has established
paper called Tie W0man's Era, de.
signed to help the women of her own
race. She believes that colored women
should organize clubs and work together
in the same way as members of the now
famous clubs among white women. She
thinks these clubs, founded with serious
purpose, will be of great educational
value, The negro women are better
than the negro men. Thousands Of
great, Swapping black fellows in all our
cities simply lie down and live on the
earnings of their wives as washerwomen
and cooks. The women toll hard day
by day and support the men in idleness.
II the colored woman's club shall edu-
cate them to the point of disseminating
this benevolent practice, then speed the
colOred Womau's clubs.

A new school has been started in
England which will commend itself to
every mother, for nurses of young chill
dren whose early training is so all,
important, both mentally and physically
In this new "trainng school for
domestic nurses" young women are
taught primary kindergarten training,
the care of sick children, the proper
way to keep nursery, how to dress
cuts, burns, sc. In fact, all that apper-
tains to the intelligent care of the
young, and especially how TO meet the
various emergencies incidental to child
life. The demand, it is said, for nurses
to whom has been given the diploma Of
the school is very great.

Every good housekeeper wishes to
say that there is not single fly iii hel
house. Now, as We all know to oui
annoyance, flies are very troublesome
in these hot days. Here are three good
recipes which can be recommended as
oXterminators OF the dipterous pests.
The peculiar virtue of these ingredients
is that no poisonous ingredient is used
in their composition. Boil together
liaseed oil and rosin until the com
pound becomes thick, or boil three parts
of rosin and four parts rapeseed oil to.
gether until sticky mass is produced
or again boil to thick paste one pound
of rosin, three and one-half ounces OF
molassGs and the same quantity of lin.
seed oil. Any one OF these compound:
spread on thick sheets OF brown paper
and scattered over the tables and shelYe:
will etfectually eXterminate flies. These
recipes were given to Woman's World
and Work by well-known New Orleans
gentleman, who vouches for their sue
cess in the application.

OF sll the freaks of nature born in the
great city of New York the latest and
the most extraordinary is an eyeless
baby girl, whose parents are Juda and
Esther Grossman. They have been
married seven years and had three other
children, all perfectly formed. Tho
unfortunate child weighs eight or nine
pounds and is normally healthy and
even pretty. But she has no eyes and
no optic nerves. She has eyelids, but
they are joined together, and science
pronouncGs that it is impossible that the
little creature can ever see the light Of
the beauty of this world. What the
Grossman baby lacks in one sense an
cratic nature seems to have made up in
another-that of touch-for she ha.
three and twenty fingers aud toes all
told. Each hand has five perfectly
formed fingers, but to the outer edge OF
each little finger is attached another mo-
quite so well shaped. And, again, thu
loft foot has six perfect toes, while the
right has only the usual number. In
other respects the child is beautifully
formed and has regular features.
