ABOUT SLEEP.
The Remarkable Assertion of an
Artist About Effect,


ut is curious thing" said the artist. 'but
when you begin TO study anybody or anything
asleep they or it will wake up at once" He
was trying to catch very pretty girl on a Long
Branch boat. She was reclining gracefully on
her right hand the elbow which served for that
hand being supported by the guard.raiI. aud.
contrary to the custom OF pretty girls In general,
looked really preitier when asleep than when
awake. But just as soon as the artistic eye had
settled down To this fact and The artistic pencil
had begun to reduce IL to paper she began TO
get restless and fidgety and shortly afterward
walked up.
al have tried it on animals" he continued.
sand 1t is the same. We have very pretty cat
at our house, and sometimes when she curls
herself up into graceful and unusual attitudes /
have tried TO get study from cat life, but just
as sure as the attempt Is made she begins to
ydWn and stretch and finally opens her big eyes
on me with an expression of, We'll, what in the
world are you trying TO do with me now I'd like
TO know?
"On railway trains have attempted to get
some mans expression while he is asleep. He
Will wake up al once. II Is the same when a
man or a woman is engaged IN conversation or
thought. AS soon as you get TO work on her
profile or back hair, or the rake of her bonnet,
a woman will begin to squirm. to turn this way
and that, until she finally singles you out. She
will do this without the slightest idea what you
are doing"
All of which reminds me that almost any
man of strong will can, by Intense thought and
exercise OF will power, compel woman TO
turn her head and finally single him out OF a
crowd She will not know why. and. really,
don't know why; but IL is so, for have tried

able. Yet there are probably few men who

A WOMAN MOONsHINER.
She Was at One Time at the Head
of q DeSDerate GANG

M0llle Miller's operations at one time were
carried on very extensively and she was at the
head of a gang which was involved IN more
bloody fights with revenue officers than any
other organized in the South. Her first eXpe-
rience was In the mountains of Sewer County,
where she assisted her father, Sam Miller.
Here Deputy Marshal Mcpherson led a raid
under guide who had a grudge against Miller
In an almost inaccessible gorge the officers en-
cOuntered the mOonshiners.
A bloody fight followed, and three of the
revenue men were Killed, the others retreating
Ii was noticed that young girl was one of the
party, and II has always been believed that she
killed one Of the officers. Another raid was
made, in which Miller was killed and bis aSso-
cates caDtured. About this time the revenue
officers received box containing the remains
There was nothing 10 Indicate from whom iG
came, and the box must have been carried by
wagon and left at the Marshal's house.
The woman was not found, ana IL was soon
known that she HAD fed. In few mouths Polk
County, which had always furnished consider
able Illicit whisky, became The headquarters of
The moonshiners throughout East Tennessee,
and raid followed raid until there was
scarcely a cave on the Hiawassee River that
had not been the scene OF some bloody fight
between the moOnshiners and the revenue men.
1t became known that this woman was
leader, but she was never arrested but once.
ana then the proof was such that she es.
capped with light sentence. After the
Knoxville Southern Railroad was built the
country became TOO easy OF access, and with
the exception OF an occasional petty offender
the gang was broken I'D. The woman moon
sinner retired 10 a small farm, where she
remained undIsturbed except at two or three
times when she was taken 10 Chattanooga
as a witness. when she would collect her fees
and start on walk over the mountains, dis
lance OF sixty miles. TO her home.
1t is supposed that the killing of three
revenue officers and four or FIVE lnformers can
be charged TO her directly, while the gang OF
which she was member could be held &C
couDtabe for several others, but 1t was never
possible to prove these charges and she died
without ever having been tried for them.-Cin-

MUTTER|NG AGAINST SHEEHAN
Long Island City's Unemployed
Ignored by the Contractor.
Italians from New York Given the
Preference at Low Wages.

LONG ISLAND CITY, n. Y, Jan. 20.
considerable Indignation prevails
among the unemployed residents of this
city over the importation yesterday of
a gang of Italians by Police Commits
sioner John G. Sheehan, of New York, to
work upon the construction of the sew
er on Harris venue near the City Hall,
FOR which he has the contract. A num-
ber OF men visited the works last even
ing and demonstrated in half n dozen
languages, and with various imprecations
against what they termed the "Sheehan
boycott of local laborers."
Commissioner Sheehan obtained the
contract a few weeks ago from Mayor
Sanford's General Improvement Commits
sion. His bid was $62, 764. The Commits
sion. was created by an act of the last
legislature. and Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan, the
follce Commissioners brother, was one
OF the most ardent advocates of the bill,
ana subsequently sanctioned and APP
proved Its passage
brother of Police Inspector Williams, Of
New York., spent the Winter in Albany,
and worked hard among the Republican
Assembiymen on behalf of the bill. Ex-
Mayor Gleason and other leading resi-
dents of the city also went to Albany
and opposed the measure.
The eX-Mayor repeatedly said that the
bill was the embodiment of "%jobbcry''
and deals conceived during his fight
with Mayor Sanford for possession of
the City Hall, and that It was intro
duced for the purpose of reciprocating
favors obtained from Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan
and with a view of p%erpetuating the
power of Mayor Sanford.
Police. Commissioner Sheehan was
awarded the contract and Williams was
made an Improvement Commissioner at
a salary of 81 600 a year.
Mr.. Sheehan began work a few days
ago on his Harrison avenue contract.
a great howl went up from the unem-
pioyed Bohemians, Irish, Poles and Hun
that Italians were at work on the sewer
at 80 cents a day, and that Foreman
sullivan was the only member of any
nationality outside of the Italians EN-
ut is an outrage on the taxpayers of
men to-day. that residents of Long
island city were ignored in giving out
employment.
THE. Commissioner" they said, sis
payers of this city alone must pay this
amount. and in spite of this fact our
for want of employment, while Italians
are doing the work which we should do"
Mr.. Sheehan has already received con-
tracts from Long Island City. amounting
awarded a contract by the Sanford Com
mission to construct a sewer on Broad
way for 1855, 4O7, so. 1t is expected that
over three hundred working days will
be spent in construction of this main,
and there are upward of 1000 idle men
at present in the city.
1t is feared that the idle men of the
city will make an attack on the Italians
IL the work Is not given to the suffering
poor of the town.
