WILL TAKE THE BONDS.
New York Bankers Agree to Help Sec
refary Carlisle.

NEW YORK, JAN 30.-Several of the bank
officers who attended yesterdays confer
ence with the Secretary of the Treasury
have arrived at the conclusion that IL
would be mistaken policy to allow the
government bond issue TO fail because OF
inactivity or lack OF support on the part Of
financiers in this city. They have also
been influenced to this conclusion by fears
that If the issue should not be successful
Secretary Carlisle would endeavor to secure
the passage Of bill authorizing the COIN
age of the seigniorage of the silver bullion
now in the treasury. A further considera-
ton was the possibility of the reflection
uron the credit OF the government
by the failure to sell the bonds.
Under these circumstances President
King, Of The Union Trust Com
pany. has undertaken the formatiop of a
syndicate to bid for the entire issue at
the upset price. It Is understood also that
they have interested Russell Sage and
President Olcott, of the Central Trust
will cooperate with them in the movement
now under way and ii is likely to be
success.
This afternoon it was announced that the
syndicate had already agreed to take 3d.
100000. Those who have joined the syndi-
cate are: The United States Trust Com
pany, the Manhattan Trust Company, the
Central Trust Company, the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company. the New York Securi-

A Buffalo PatrOlman Disfgured for
Life by Desperate Criminal.

BUFFALO, JAN 30.-Patrolman Hunter
heard a window break early this morning.
He ran and grabbed the burglar, who proves
to be John Steinback, local tough. Stein
back said he would "go quietly" and they
started. Suddenly Steinback began slashing
at Hunters face with a razor. He cut off a
piece of Hunters nose and cut deep cash
in his cheek about four inches long, and cut
him several times across the face. Blinded
by blood, Hunter held on and the two went
down on the walk, where desperate strug-

volver and fired twice, purposely avoiding
hitting his prisoner Steinback Fought more
vigorously. Finally two citizens helped, and
Steinback was landed in a station. Pa

HOW shs Crushed Him.

They sat in the parlor gazing at the
natural gas flames as they chased each
other over the asbestus surface.
The two were Miss Bellefeld and Mr..
Van Braam, and the young man was in
love with the young woman. He was
doubtful of her feelings toward him, how
ever, for she was not a girl to display her
love, if she had any, until it was sought.
The young man had not spoken. He
dreaded the ordeal. He was fearful OF
the result. The conversation turned upon
marriage, and in the course OF the dis
cussion Miss Bellefield said:
"In Burmah the women propose to the
men,"
"How l wish we were in BurmahP'
the young man replied with slight
stress on the plural pronoun.
''It wouldn't do you any good il we
were," replied the girl, and Mr. Van
Braam did not Hnger much longer thai

A Much Robbed staxeeSach.

There is today in Phoenix, A. T., a
stagecoach that has been held up and
robbed oftener than any other in exist
ence. 1t has seen its best days and now
stands dismantled and dilapidated in the
backyard of livery stable, but could il
talk many are the tales it could tell OF
brigandage that would lay the exploits
of Claude Duval in their shadow.
1t began running in the seventies be-
tween Prescott and Tombstone and has
actually been robbed 83 times. Eight
drivers and as many express messengers
have been killed from its box, and as
passengers in those days went armed to
defend themselves and property, not a
few fatalities have occurred among them
and the brigands. 1t was originally a
handsome Concord coach, pulled by eight
mules, and cost 81 800 at Tucson, but its
sides are now split by rife and pistol bull
let's. and in more than one place the leath-
er lining shows the wild stroke OF bowie
knife.-Los Angeles Herald.

Sometimes the unexpected prevents the
photographer from getting celebrity be-
fore his camera. This happened at Lake
wood two days previous to the second
Inauguration of President Cleveland.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland were will
ing to grant the favor | asked, and the
nurse and Miss Ruth were accordingly
sent for. Il fear you will find the nurse
little suspicious" Mr.. Cleveland said.
The nurse came in promptly, but with
out Ruth. She put her foot down, as
women will sometimes, and declared:
'She shall not have her picture taken
today. If she should, Mr.. Cleveland will
never live to be inaugurated." That set
tied it, for the will of Ruth's custodian
was law in that household. Then !
turned to Mr.. Cleveland and asked him
to sit for me.
WELL" he said in his calm way 'you
photographers bother me a great deal,
and do not care much about having my
picture taken"
"Let me take you standing in front OF
your house. Possibly you may not care
particularly now, but 10 years hence
these pictures will recall pleasant days
and scenes"
The idea seemed to strike him favor
ably:
"You may get them all together fol
me some day." he replied. And my re
quest was granted.-G. Pach i'll New

. Floating Palaces.

Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, the chief con-
structor of the British navy, has given
the weight of his high reputation to the
possibility of constructing ship for At
lantic navigation which will be 1 900 feet
long and 300 feet broad, with engines Of
so, 900 horsepower and an ocean speed of
Is knots. The ship he described as a
steel island, which will be incapable Of
entering any dock, at any rate as at pres
ent constructed, having several engines
working side by side. He thinks that a
draft of 26 feet of water need never be
exceeded.
81 do firmly believe" said Sir Nathan
iel, "that we shall get the mastery over
the seas, and that we shall live more ehap-
PLY in a marine residence, capable OF
steaming IS knots an hour, than we can
ever live in a seaside town. This project
is not, however, intended TO shorten the
duration of a TRANSATLANTIC voyage, but
to make it more tolerable while it lasts.
Most of the efforts hitherto made to deal
with the problem of Atlantic navigation
have aimed at speed as the first essen
tial, and have left out of account the pos
sibility of making such mechanical pro
visions against NAL de mer as would en-
| able the most squeamish Of passengers
to contemplate an Atlantic voyage with
perfect equanimity. In this direction
the achievements Of the last half century
have been truly marvellous. ."-Manufac-

a QUEER DIVORCE CASE.
Unusual and Extreme Cruelty without Re-
course to Personal Violence.

Unusual and Extreme Cruelty without Re-
course to Personal Violence.
The counsel in q recent divorce case,
remarkable even in the annals of the Chi
cago courts, sought to defeat the plain
tiff's case on slender technicality, but
fortunately without avail. The'wife, who
sought the divorce, was a particularly
mild and obedient person, and the hus-
band had an ingenious method OF indict-
ing cruelty without resorting frequently
to personal violence. He compelled her
after her marriage to send word to her
father and to her uncies and aunts, with
whom she had lived, that she wished
nothing more to do with them. The let
ters, which were dictated by him, and
which she was compelled to send them,
contained insulting and contemptuous
expressions.
At the least sign of failure to obey
him promptly the husband directed his
wife to stay in bed for periods Of from
day to two or three weeks, only allow
ing her to rise to prepare his meals or to
attend to the horses. When she was
sick, he pushed her on one occasion TO
the floor, and when she cried he told her
that she could stay in bed day for ev-
erv sob and counted them until the
number of ii was reached, and then di-
rected her to stay In bed IL days and
restricted her to diet of bread and
water.
On one occasion he made her stay all
night in the buggy shed, though he gave
her a revolver with which she could
alarm him if burglar disturbed her. he
took her young nursing baby away from
her and sent it away without allowing
her to know where it was until a month
or two later, when she finally revolted
and began the divorce suit. The details
of the case were most heartrending, and
Chief Judge Tuley, before whom the
case was tried, said that the facts showed
case of cruelty to which in over 40
years of experience at the bar and on the
bench he had never known the equal.
The law in Illinois, however, requires
that "extreme and repeated cruelty
must be shown, and 1t has bcon held
that to constitute that charge there must
be more than one act of physical violence
shown. An attempt was mado to pre-
vent the divorce ON the ground that tbs
defendant did rot violently lay his hands
upon his wife except on one occasion
when he pushed her to the floor.
Judge Tuley, however, breaks away
from the old rules, although he says th'
tearing away of the child from the arm
of the mother might be considered sec
ond act of personal violence. He hold
that there may be the most extrem
cruelty inflicted on a refined and deli
: cate woman which would not be cruelt
) toward coarse and brutal nature. Tn

| attempt to follow in Illinois the ant
f ouated rule based on the case 100 year
old that there must be at least two act
5 of physical violence.-New York Trit

HE PAID THAT DEBT.

Ia Won n Nice Little Bet For "a Friend
of His.
A good story is told of the forgetful-
npss of a certain Richard Scott. He met
wealthy friend of his at the Saturn
club one day and said:
"Oh. Bronsonei Just the man want
ed TO seel Lend me $40, will you? l left
nav wallet home"
Mr.. Bronsone gave him the money,
md with an amused expression on his
face told Mr.. Scott he'd remind him of
he loan in case it slipped his memory.
Two weeks went by, and one day Mr..
Bronsone gently referred to the loan,
which was promptly paid by Mr.. Scott.
A few nights later he again went up to
food Mr.. Scott and began:
Il "Of course, you know, Scott, it's a
thing | hate to speak of, but you-er-
borrowed $40 of Inc a little over two
weeks ago, and if you cam
q MY dear sir" returned Mr.. Scott,
f'you really must pardon me. My poor
memory plays me false too often" And
he took $40 from his pocket and handed
'it to Mr.. Bronsone.
& One night at the club, a week later,
fMr. Scott was sitting over in a bow win
dow reading, when Mr.. Bronsone ap-
sproached and after few general re-
marks said:
"Scott, my dear fellow, know you
,nean to be honest, but really you ought
Ito be more careful of your little debts.
Now, there is $40 you borrowed of me a
month ago."
Haven't 1 paid you that?" queried
Mr.. Scott, rather puzzled.
Would be speaking of 1t now if you
hadp" returned Mr.. Bronsone.
"Well," replied Scott, Il suppose it's
that wretched memory of NINE" Ant
he paid him the third $40.
About a week afterward a mutua
friend of both came up to Mr.. Scott il
the dining room of the club and sale
confdentially:
"Really, you know, Scott, you ough
to pay Bronsone that $40 you owe him
Pardon me for speaking of it, but yor
know we were talking of you this after
noon, you and your poor memory, ant
Bronsone told me of your forgetfulnes
in this little matter as an example
, Now"-
"But, confound itr' answered Scott
81 am almost sure paid him. Here
I'll go over and ask him." With tina
he hastened over to the group in whicl
was Bronsone.
Didn't pay you that $1OT' Scott be
gan.
The different men looked at each 9th
er Significantly. This was too much TO
Scott. He couldn't stand ridicule. Ell
paid two S. bills to Bronsone.
The latter kept it in his hand, an
. drawing out of his pocket $50 more h
!: rolled them up and gravely hande
them to the astonished Mr. Scott.
'It belongs to you," he said. *

Two colors of Tobacco Smoke.


Smoke consists of minute particles
of solid or liquid matter suspended
in the air, and it's color depends part
ly upon the chemical constitution OF
such particles, but also largely upon
their size. Exact experiment has
shown that, as the size of minute
particles suspended in air is gradual
ly increased, they give rise to colors
varying from sky blue down through
the whole range of the spectral scale.
This is the cause of sunset and sun
rise colors in the sky. Its effects can
also be traced in the case of the two
kinds of tobacco smoke, modified by
the murky tints of the carbonaceous
products. The smoke given off from
the heated surface of the burning tp-
bacco in the bowl of the pipe consists
of matter all of which has been
highly heated and very fully oxldized
and decomposed. 1t consists mainly OF
exceedingly small, solid particles, ex-
hibiting by virtue of their smallness
blush color. On the other hand,
that smoke which has been drawn
through the tabacco into the mouth of
the smoker carries with it a relatively
large quantity of water and hydro
carbon, which are condensed upon
the solid particles above mentioned.
The relatively large size of such par
ticles explains the well known gray
ish color of the smoke which issues
from the mouth of the smoker.-Tit-
