A GIRL SOLD INTO BoNDAGE.-Judge
Eggers, of the Fourth Criminal Court
in Newark, was thought to be too leu
lent in his disposal of a case yesterday
On Saturday Capt. Bergene of the
Fourth precinct caused a raid to be
made upon a disrcputable house at 137
Springfield avenue, kept by William
Born aud his wife, Pauline. Among
the occupants was Rebecca Slroteiski,
aged 90. The raid was made upon in
formation that this young woman had
been sold into bondage by her uncle,
Isaac Pollack, a Polish jew. His sister,
Mrs. Weiser, testified that Pollack had
sold the girl to Born for S25.
Mary Kur;z, aged So, Born's cook,
also testified that she heard the bargain
made between Born and Pollack, and
that the girl had cried and fought when
she learned the character of the place,
but that Mrs Born completely intim-
idated her. The girl confirmed the
story, and told of the degradation she
had been subjected to. Pollack and
Born both denied her story.
After listening to the testimony
Judge Eggers sentenced Born to pay
fine of $50 and costs, and sent Pollac&
and Rebecca Strotefski, the girl who
was sold, to Jail for ninety days each.
The other girls in the house received
sentences of from thirty to sixty days.

A ToRToIsE-SHELLC CUP.-Miss Sarah
Harrison Powell, of Baltimore, has re-
Gently come into the possession of a
tortoise-shell drinking cup which was
carried in General r. E. Lees head
quarters supp'y train during the cam
paigu in Virginia, thirty years ago. At
that time Alfred Harrison Powell, an
uncle of Miss Powell, was the owner.
He had the she'll scraped and polished,
and the names and the dates of the bat
ties he had participated in, together
with his name, were engraved on the
outside. Mr.. Jacob Late, of Ha-
gerstown, assisted in capturing the sup
ply train, and took possession of the
cup. A description of it was printed
about two years ago which Miss Pol
lard saw. She wrote to Mr.. Late, ex-
planned how she was interested in it,
and expressed wish to possess the
cup. Mr.. Late, although he treasured
the article on account of its associa-
tions, cheerfu iy sent it to Miss Powell.
This led to the forming of firm friend
ship between Mr.. and Mrs. Late and
Miss Powell, and they are now quite
old friends. Miss Powell is the sister
Mr.. William S. Powell, of Baltimore,
formerly of Leesburg.

How TO LoUNGE.-The day is past when
it was considered sign of bad breeding for a
woman ever to assume an attitude less digni
fled than that of an upright poker. The
change is one upon which women may be
congratulated. One thing which has made
old mon so much more youthful-looking than
old ladies is their life long habit of assuming
easy posturys.
1t is not necessary for women to follow the
masculine example to the degree of eleyating
their feet every time they sit down. But it
is good for them to know that muscles always
on the stretch must lose their elasticity.
Fashionable women to whom the necessity of
never showing fatigue and of always looking
their best has taught the knack of acquir-
ing maximum of rest in a minimum oftime,
are fast falling into masculine habits of pos
ture when in the seclusion of bedroom or
boudoir. This era OF exercise gives them
their cue-they learn on the tennis court OF
in the gymnastic class how entirely restora-
tive it is to lounge and loll about.-Neir York
