DID NOT SEE THE BRUTALITY
The Old Lady's Partisanship Reused.
by a Lively Football Game.

I have, says a writer in the Boston
Courier, a young friend, sophomore
at Harvard, who is exceedingly fond
Of his cousin, bright girl Of 16, with
fresh rosy complexion and roguish
eyes. She is much interested in ath-
letics, and was particularly Interested
in the Ya1e-Harvard game at Spring
field. A gentle hint or two secured
an invitation from her cousin to be
present at the game. The proceedings
got no further, however, for at that
point it became necessary to consult
her mother, and that lady, a quiet, re-
firing widow Of so, absolutely refused
to allow her daughter to witness such
Glow and brutal amusement"
Things looked dark, indeed, when my
friend, by what stroke of genius i
know not, prevailed upon the old lady
to go to Springfield herself-of course
accompanied by her daughter. The
game was in the middle Of the Sec
ond half; things were looking very
black for Harvard, when the ball,
which had been kicked within a few
feet Of the opposite goal, was seized
by a big Yale man, who started on
run down the field. The first Har-
ward man that approached was laid
sprawling in the dust; a second met
with a similar fate. In the mean
time the ball was being rapidly borne
toward Haryard's goal. All seemed
lost when a small fellow in crimson
and leather grabbed at the Yale man
and over they rolled in the dirt. 9th
ers piled on. 1t was a tumulus Of kick
ing, struggling humanity. A tremen-
dous noise of yells and shouts burst
forth from the spectators in the GRIM
son side. But far above it all came
the shrek of an old woman. She
stood near the top of the grand stand
md franticaIly waved her shawl as
she screeched: xiii him! Kill h1m!'

PLAIN ICING.

Whites of two eggs, one teaspoon
full of lemon juice, one-half pound of
powdered sugar. Place the eggs in
refrigerator or some very cold place
one hour before using. Break them
carefully and beat the whites until
frothy, then sift the sugar in gradual
ly. beating all the while; add the
lemon juice, and continue the beating
until the icing is fine and white, and
stiff enough TO stand alone. Keep in
cool place until wanted. Spread with
a knife dipped in ice water. If orna-
ments are used they must be placed
on the cake while the icing is still
moist. This may be varied by adding
different favorings, such as straw
berry, pineapple, rose, vanilla, etc.
Strawberry icing should always be col
ored with few drops Of cochineal.

DUEL ON HORSEBACK.
Extraordinary Battle of a Confederate
and a Federal Officer During the War.


War times and adventures were the
burdens of the conversation among half
a dozen veterans of the civil war the
other day in the presence of a Bowl
ing Green Ky) Democrat reporter.
Il have read many stories" said one
of the old soldiers, ''of individual ex-
hibitions Of bravery during the war,
but l witnessed a duel between two
officers of high rank that had 1 read
it l would have believed it the product
of imagination.
During the early days of the war;"
said the old warrior, 1.-The federa1s,
who had already driven the rebels from
southern Kentucky, were much trou-
bled down in Christian county by a
Colonel Woodward, who, I believe,
lived near Lafayette in that county.
A Mayor Brackett-I think he was from
northern Ohio-undertook to suppress
Woodward. but met with ignOminious
failure in his first attempt. He was
deeply cha grined, but an opportunity
finally came for him to show that he
was no coward.
''At the head Of a skirmishing party
he was quietly marching down the
road one day when suddenly he came
upon a similar party Of confederates
The unexpected meeting threw both
rarties into confusion, and before eth
er had a chance to form for fight
Bracket ordered his men to remain
quiet and rode forward. Tt was a re
markable course, and I believe, with
out a parallel in the history of the
war, but he challenged the command
| ing officer of the rebels to a personal
| conflict

WHITE AND GRAY HOSIERY.

A great many white and silver gray
suede shoes are worn nowadays with
house dresses, and there is cores
ponding sale of stockings to match.
This sort of hosiery runs to silk, and
the prices are high, too high for any
but stocking-length purses. Spun silk
goods sell at $1.50 pair; pure silk at
$3.50 are beautiful to look at and ex-
uuisite to wear, but have only half
the durability. The white silk goods
are not white, but cream color, like
the kid in the low shoes. The grays,
shade from pearl to slate.

DOLL DOCTORING HIS TRADE.
A Germans Peculiar Business on the
East Side in New York.


In front of 4 queer little shop in
East Fourth street, New York, is this
sign. "Hier ist der Puppe-Arzt" In
English this means. Here is the doll
DOCTOR Inside, on bench near one
of the window, sat kindly faced lit
tie German. whose sparse beard was
almost as white AS snow. He is the
doll doctor He was surrounded by
boxes containing paints, wax, plaster,
glue and a large assortment of knives,
scissors, bodkins, needles and other
implements of his trade. There were
tiny wigs Of every conceivable shade
and shape, dolls heads galore and
busts, bodies, arms, legs and feet with
out number. In fact, it was a dolls
hospital and morgue combined, and
there seemed to be no lack of patients
and subjects The livelihood of the
doctor, who is a German. depends upon
how closely his country folk live up
to their customs in their native land.
There. when a dolls arm or leg is
broken and lost or it's little wig Is
so badly matted and deranged that
it is not given away or even laid
aside, to be loved just as much as
ever in spite of it's deformity, as is
it's fate in every American family. The
little German mothers dearest wish is
that her little cripple be taken to the
doll doctor and completely restored.
In the families where money is very
scarce and brand-new dolls are great
luxury, "das kleine maedchen" consid-
ers herself very much favored if KriSS
Kringle will send one of his messen-
gers for her broken doll and bring it
back to her on Christmas morning nice

pressing this, and thus it happens
that the doll finds its way into the
hands of the doll doctor.
The doctor took up more dilapidat-

the writer stated in quaint German
that besides the new red lips and
other repairs for her doll she would
like to have new shoes, pair Of ear
rings and a dress IF it don't cost too
much" The doctor dived into a box
near by and began replacing the miss
ing eye. Then he found one of the
glass disks of the proper size and
color Then with the aid of his nip
pers and some glue he set it in its
proper place. Then he found new
leg and whitfield it and adjusted it
in it's place. With pink wax he work

were good as new. The repairs he
covered deity with a coating of pink,
and on the lips he painted bright
red smile He bored holes in the ears
and inserted little pair of plated
earrings, each with little green stone
then turned the doll over to his wife,
who was to make a new dress for il

when she was done, the girl would

THE KNAPP CASE.

Sheriff David Rees of st. Mar
tin parish, visited Lake Charles
last week with q warrant for the
arrest of Prof. S. A. Knapp, alleg-
ing embezzlement. The complaint
was sworn to by A. H. Guilbeau,
alleging that John Domec, Dar-
mas D. Guidry and H. s. Durio
had been defrauded. The men
live in sugar settlement about
twenty miles north of st. Martin
vile.
The complainant does not allege
that he has suffered through Prof.
Knapp's unfortunate enterprises,
but, it seems, that he appears in
the interest of his neighbors, and
secures warrant upon their alle-
ged losses, according to the state
ment Of his attorneys in this city,
General Taylor and Gorham.
The grounds of the charges are
based, it seems, upon the purchas-
ing by the company, which Prof
Knapp represents, of a quantity
of sugar cane from the three men
mentioned. The cane WAS deli
vered at the mill and as the crash
came long, the cane has not beer
paid for, and the company owes
the amount, being about $4,000.
This is about the substance oi
the case, based on interviews with
Prof. Knapp's attorneys, VIII
, seem to be at loss to know wha
interest the complainant has il
the case.
A telegram was sent to Prof
Knapp who is now in Tennessee
He will return to Lake Charles il
a few days, and with Jude Gol
ham, proceed to the Justices bail
wick in st. Martin parish, fror
whence the complaint was issued
where an examination will b
i. heidi. G.. Commercial.
The weekly messenger., 1894-07-07

Knapp, as the head of the corpor-
alton which failed. We are in
clined to believe that but for the
money crisis, which prevented the
company from realizing on the
bonds which had already been
printed and were supposed to
have been negotiated, all would
have been paid, both for the cane
and for labor on the railroad. The
money derived from the sugar
business, which was profitable,
was used for buying new machine
ry and improving the plant and
for building the road. 1t was ex-
pected to replace this from the
sale of bonds as before stated.
When this plan failed the compa-
nv went into the hands of a recei-
YER, with nearly two dollars OF
assets to every one of liabilities.
We understand that Mr.. Jones,
the receiver states that all the Gre
ditors will eventually be paid in
