She Was . Notorious Character But She
Left Descendants by the Score.
Search is being made in the church
yard of st. Martins, London, for the
grave of Nell Gwynne, says the Seattle
Telegraph. 1t is prosecuted at the
expense OF number Of the aristocracy
of England, who trace their descent
to this girl and her lover, Charles IL.
The career of Nell Gwynne is more
extraordinary than any romance that
was ever penned. Born no one knows
where or of what parentage, at thirteen
years she was selling fruit in the streets
for living, At 10 she was the real
queen of England. In the interim she
lived life of what was said by contem-
porary writer's to be "unequalled gayety,"
but after she had accepted the protection
of the king she became woman OF care
full manner of living, although the center
of the gayest court that England ever
saw. Her prodiga!ity in money matters
was unbounded, but her generosity
equaled her extravaganza, and literature
| and art found in her q most generous
patron. Nor did her good works end
there, for she was the real founder Of
the celebrated Chelsea hospital and an
excellent friend to the Protestant relig-
ion. She survived the king two years
living in the strictest retirement during
that period. Her death was mourned
by the nobility as well as the masses and
by her will she gave everything to the
poor. There are few stranger figures ir
history than Nell Gwynne, and, though
her childhood was spent in life which
taught her few indeed of the lessons o
right living, when she became woman
there was nothing lacking except thu
sanction of the church to render he
career honorable in the sight of the law
She died at. SO years, leaving one son
who was created Duke of st. Adams b,
the king, his father. He has many de
scendants among the proudest aristoc
racy of England, and, indeed, there i
much in the character of Nell, their an
cestress, of whom any one might fee
proud.

Professional Incomes In England.
Price Collier In the February Forum.


Every man, professional or otherwise,
who gets to the top Of his particular lad
der in England is paid not only in money,
but in comforts, in homage, and in ad-
miration out of all proportion to those
below him. The heads OF the great
public schools, such as Elton and
Harrow; the great prelates of the
church, the archbishops Of Canter-
bury and OF York, the bishop of Lon
don, and others; the lord high chan
cellor, the lord chief justice, and the
attorney general the popular physicians,
the eminent bariisters, solicitors, and
civil .engineers-make what in a democ-
racy would be deemed fortunes every
year. On the other hand, the professional
rag-tag and bob-tail receive less notice
and less money, and are far more re.
stricted in their social opportunities than
with US. In giving figures relating to
professional incomes in England, this
chasm-impssssbl except to the strong
est-between mediocrity and success, be-
comes at once the most striking aud de-
pressing feature OF the discussion.
In the church the archbishop of Can
terbury receives els, 900 year, which il
equal to $50 900, or probably more; while
the average income of the clergy is wei
under $1,000 q year. A very successfu
barrister like Sir Charles Russell has al
income variously estimated at from $75,
600 to 500, 900 year, while it is said Oh

"Old trousers for Miss VS. furnace

home in her hands, together with an.
other smaller package.
Sitting in the trolley car between q

The electric current, rs the flexible

now applies the power OF coal beds to do
work miles from it's point OF liberation
from it's ages of rest. With continued
application OF the genius OF the inventor
and Of the engineer, it may yet transmit
energy, dormant since the carboniferous
era, from the coal-beds of Pennsylvania
or Of Illinois, in form of light, of heat, OF
mechanical power, to every hamlet, to do
the work of factory, mill, Of household,
even, and to restore independence to
the nottingham by giving him
the forces needed for his work in his own
home. When domesticated thus, the
tyranny of corporations and of trusts will
be broken, so far as it enslaves the
worker, and such com binations will then
be beneficial through reduction Of costs
of production in limited fields. Inven'
tions of new forms OF mechanism in
every department of industry will urf

With reduced hours of struggle for life
and needs, time will be afforded every
good citizen for rest, for enjoyment, fo
thought, and all classes may then become
classes Of leisure, in ample degree fo

The Reason she Killed Him.

Carrie Wendell, who killed ]. Royal at
the National Hotel in Chicago, Monday,
declares that she did it because while she
had borne two children to HIM, she had
just learned that he had wife and child
in Seattle. His real name, she says,
was Joseph w. Ryan, and he had been
mixed up in many killings. He had shot
negroes and led big riot in Jessup, Ca,
three or four years ago. He killed a
Denver man in duel in. Raleigh, N. c.,
three years ago, and was himself shot
through the left lung. A year later he
was shot over the right eye at Galveston,
and he had bullet scars on the abdomen
and jaw, one of which was the result OF
a fight in which he killed a man in front
Of the Marshall house, at Savannah.

A Fiendlsh Plot Discovered.

A plot which for fiendishness has never
been equaled in the annals Of crime was
nipped in the bud at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
Saturday, through the confession Of one
OF the Keystone coliery rioters. He said
the strikers had secured nine kegs of
giant powder, almost enough to destroy
half the city, and secreted them near the
house OF Foreman Heslops. Had it not
been for the arrest of the ringleaders of
Fridays riot, it was the intention of the
strikers to put the powder under the
houses of all the bosses OF the mines and
set it off. The result would have been
something terrible, taking into consider
alton the families of the bosses, who
number nearly 100 persons. Despite
this evidence against the ringleaders Of
riotous Hungarians. the six men were
taken into custody and admitted to bail.

TAKE A REST AT MIDDAY.
Too Many American Women Neglect
This Means OF PrOlonging Life.

Too Many American Women Neglect
This Means OF PrOlonging Life.
How many women, we wonder, know
the value of midday rest? asks the
Philadelphia Times. This does not
mean long and exhausting sleep from
which one rises from the headache, but
merely the giving up for five short min
utes and closing ones eyes to the hustle
and hurry that is going on. The women
Of America do not know the meaning Of
rest; it is hurry, hurry, hurry, from
morning to night, and even in their
sleep they jump and start, proving that
their nerves are as much on the alert in
slumber as during the labors of the day.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox once said that she
owed much of her capacity for work to
the short ''cat maps" that she is able to
take in any place and at any time when
ever the opportunity offers for such an
indulgence; it matters not whether she
is sitting up or lying down, for by the
mere force OF her will she can 60 at once
into restful sleep, which, even though
it only lasts a few minutes, helps to in
vigorate and refresh her. 60 many wo-
men rise early and go through round OF
duties by IL O'Clock that would stagger q
man if he were called upon to perform
them after which they will rush at their
work baskets and commence a task OF
sewing that is as great in proportion as
the labors of the early morning hours. II
between morning and evening every
woman would take even five minutes for
rest she would find it of the greatest
benefit to her. Lives are prolonged in
this way, and many are shortened by the
mad rush that women think it necessary
to keep up. Now that the summer days
are coming and the heat naturally ener
Yates, the necessity for rest is more
apparent. just word Of friendly ad

TRAIN SIGNALING.
A Portlander Pcrfects an Important
Electric InHentinn.

A Portlandsr Perfects an Important
Electric Invention.
The Portland Oregonisn contains q
description of device for railway train
signaling which will fill q want which
has been felt since the beginning Of rail
road operations. 1t has been invented
by Mr.. w. F. Wamsley, of that city, an
experienced railroad man, who fully I'M
derstapds what is needed in this line.
The idea is to have perfect and efficient
arrangement which will enable the con-
ductor of train to signal the engineer
from any car in the train, doing away
with the air whistle and the old bellcord
and gong on the engine. This is accom-
plished by small electric bell and bat
terry placed on the engine and on each
car, and so wired that when the airbrake
hose is coupled connection is made
throughout the train. Signals can then
be given by the ordinary push button,
or by cord hung as bellcord and At
tached to circuit-closer located at one
end OF the car. In this country it is al.
most impossible to give q bellcord signal
five cars from the engine, especially
when vestibule cars are on the train.
The device has been tested on the Hunt
system, with which the inventor was
formerly connected. and has been in use
for six weeks on the Mount Tabor divi-
sion of the City & Suburban railway,
working with marked success. A large
number of railway officials have ex.
amined the device and witnessed its
operation on the Mount Tabor line, and
have pronounced it practical and adapted
to the place in railway train service
which it is designed to fill. Locating
the electrical connections in the sirbrake
hose does not interfere with the opera
ton Of the air. The connections are
completed in the same manner as a
present, and the airbrake and sigma
operation are secured in the one act. L
is intended to form a company t
manufacture the apparatus and furnish
it to railroads.
