PORTRAITS OF AMERICAN WOMEN.
A Novel Loan Exhibition of Paintings t,
Benefit New York Charities.

A Novel Loan Exhibition of Paintings to
Benefit New York Charities.
Arrangements are now being made
for loan exhibition of old and modern
portraits Of American women to be held
early in November at the Academy Of
Design. Such exhibitions of women's
portraits are given by the Gallery club
in London, but they are new in New
York. 1t is proposed to divide the pro-
oeeds from this exhibition between St
Johns guild and the Orthopedic dis
pensary and hospital The ladies repre-
senting these two charities who are ar
ranging this exhibition are Mrs. Robert
B. Potter, Mrs. Fl. Winthrop Gray,
Mrs. John A. Lowery, Mrs. Charles de
Rham, Mrs. J. Hobart Warren and Mrs.
Adolf Ladenburg. The selection of the
pictures will be in the hands Of COM
mittee of we'll known artists.
1t is believed that the novelty of such
an exhibition, in addition to its artistic
are in New York many valuable por-
traits of women. Some of them are by
American artists and some of them were
painted abroad. So long as the subject
is an American woman the painting
may be hung in this loan collection.
Already the announcement of such an
exhibition has aroused interest, and it
is intended to make it social SUCCESS.
Mrs. Lowery said last night:
"We propose to have the exhibition
during the week of the horse show, for
then there are many people in town
who would be interested in such an ex-
hibition. There are many fine portraits
of handsome women here, and think
that such an exhibition will attract at
tention and benefit our charities. 1t is
impossible yet to give any details about
the paintings that will be exhibited.
That rests with the artists who are on
the hanging committee, and Of course
it is too early for them to begin their
work. New York Sun.

A SILVER AVALANCHE.
A Slide of Two Million Silver Dollars at the
Philadelphia Mint.

A Slide of Two Million Silver Dollars at the
Philadelphia Mint.
A portion of the $50, 900, 900 that was
stored away in vault G at the mint
came very close to being cause of dis.
aster to several clerks who were count
ing the coin ON Tuesday afternoon. An
avalanche of silver dollars released
from their bundles through the rotting
of the bags, poured down into the space
where the clerks were standing, and
only through their hasty escape was a
loss of life prevented.
The coin was piled up in bags to
height of 10 feet and a width Of 8 feet
The vault is damp, and the bags had
become moldy and frail.
About O'Clock, as Wellington Morris,
an employee, was standing on top of
the pile raking In some loose dollars,
he trod into bag, and the silver dollars
at once began to slide out. Like snow
ball on mountain side, the mass of
silver dollars grew in size. There was
an ominous rumble, and the clerks at
the foot of the pile looked up in sur
prise. Seeing the impending danger, a
wild break was made for the door. Sc
rious injury TO Morris was feared, but he
succeeded in escaping unhurt.
The impact of the dollars shook the
mint building as by an earthquake, and
intense excitement prevailed among the
employees. 1t is estimated that the
amount which fell was valued at fully
81, 900, 600 and weighed 12, 900 pounds.
The accident caused change to be
made in the method of counting. Here.
tofore the counting has been facilitated
by the use of pair of scales, 81, coo
being counted and weighed at time.
Now it will be necessary to count the
dollars one by one, and the work will
probably consume six months, possibly
an entire year Under the old system
the count would have been finished by

DYING BY INCHES.
The Case OF Man In Philadelphia who Is
Victim of Ossification.

q Victim of Justification.
There is living man in this city who
is turning to bone, and who has for
three years thus been gradually ap-
preaching a certain death.
1t is case of ossifcation. Mr.. Frank
lin Fletcher was salesman of middle
age and in good health when, one day
about three years ago, a peculiar sort of
lump began to form ON his chest. In a
few days the lump had grown to alarm
ing proportions, and one morning as he
was leaving the house he was taken
with such violent pains through all the
muscles of his body that he had to 60
to bed A doctor was sent for, and In
the meantime the pains subsidized.
The tumor was treated and soon pass
ed away, but the pains returned, and
the unfortunate man noticed that hs
was becoming rigid. He tho yht he had
a peculiar form of rheumatis and went
to physician for thorough examine
ton When this was concluded, the fol-
lowing remarkable conversation took
place:
"Well, doctor, it's only rheumatism,
after all, isn't it?''
"shall tell you the plain truth?"
asked the medical man.
"Why, yes, of course
''Well, Mr. Fletcher, your case il
hopeless. Your disease will end IN death
soon, and there is no known medicine
ON earth that can cure it. -
The sick man said nothing, but his
face was as white as death, and beads Of
cold perspiration stood out ON his brow.
The doctor nerved himself and contin-
ued:
''I'd best let you know the worst at
once. You won't suffer much at first.
These violent pains will soon subdue,
but every day you will find yourself
getting sitter First, the glands through
out your body will become hard. When
you bend Your limbs too much, it will
seem like yoa are tearing your muscles.
After awhile your muscles will become
hardened, and your limbs will feel much
heavier than formerly. At last you will
have to keep your bed.
"Up to this stage your mental facul-
ties and stomach will be practically un-
impaired, but soon after you are too
stiff to move about you viii fpd your

that the brain tissue is becoming ossi-
fed The muscles Of your heart, the
very handspring Of life, win next stiff

speak plainly. but in Kindness. You
have about Is months to live"
Mr.. Fletcher said nothing, but rose,
shook the DOCTORS band and went home.
There he has remained since and is not
dead yet, though he is surely dying by
inches. Every day he becomes a little
sitter, so little that perhaps several
weeks will pass before any change is
perceptible. AS the physician proph-
esied, his mind has begun to weaken,
but the doomed man fights brawely for
life, although no one gives any reason
to hope. Almost every remedy conceiv-
able has been tried, but all in vain.
Yet this brave man continues to struggle
even after his friends have despaired. -.

AN INDIAN MUTINY.

Unless the Signs Pail, England Is Likely
Soon to Have Trouble ON Her Hands.
One does not look TO the staid and
dignifed Spectator for the absurdities
of sensational journalism, and therefore
it's grave announcement Of belief that
another Indian mutiny is close at hand
will much intensity the growing feel
ing of alarm over the situation in the
Asiatio dominions of the queen. After
expressing great apprehensions based on
recent dispatches and private letters
The Spectator says: ''It is at all events
within the limits Of possibility that
within the next few days all questions
which now interest the country may be
swallowed up by the intelligence that
we have for the second time in the last
half century India to reconquer.
MAY is the time for Instructions,
the people believing that the heat pros
trates white men, and If a rising has
been arranged it is during this month
that 1t would burst out all over north
ern India. Just at this time we appear
to be receiving one of those strange
warnings winch have frequently proceed
ed disturbances. and which in 1857 took
the form of the distribution of chapat-
ties-little unieayened cakes. Through
Behar and part Of the northwest they
were distributed by unknown hands, re-
ceived in silence as by men who under
stood what they meant and passed ON to
meet everywhere with the same reoep-
ton.
'"This time it takes the shape Of
patch OF plaster mixed with hair, with
which the trees of the endless mango
groves have been secretly bedaubed
throughout Behar and the provinces to
the east and west. AS in 1867, no one
knows how this was done, or by whom,
though the number of persons involved
must be great. The police, if they know
anything, reveal nothing, and the peo-
pie remain lost IN that apparently un-
observant silence which, throughout
Asia, when dangerous incident occurs,
means mischief That silence implies
and proves that II anything serious is
intended the Hindoos and Mussu1mans,
as in 1852, are both in it, for they both
understand national ways equally we'll
The meaning of the chapatti as signal
escaped the government officials IN 1857
as the meaning Of the distribution of
plaster escapes them now"
The a3armist utterances of The Spec
tator are not without justification.
There has been an uneasy feeling in
Anglo Indian circles for months. Many
persons of high authority in India have
been writing home that Lord Elgin
will have his hands full before long,"
and grave occurrences may be expect
ed in the near future" 1t is significant
that the inquiries of the opium commits
sion have contributed much to the dis
content among the natives, while the
population of the whole north is sulky
and rebeilious because the government
is trying tomeet its losses by increasing
the assessment of the land tax. Lon
