AN ARMLEss PAINTER.
A French Women Who Uses Her
Rrush with Her Feet.

London has in Mile. Aimee Rapin a
portrait painter of exceptional merit.
She was born without arms, but en-
couraged by a wealthy patron to de-
velop a latent artistic instinct, she at
tended technical schools, and in the
course of time became proficient in the
use of brush and palette, which, of
course, she holds and wields between
her toes. She was born in Switzerland:
and took several prizes at the art school
Of Geneva. She exhibited a portrait in
Berlin in 1891, and in the Spring of 1899
went to London. Fol some weeks she
gave herself up to the study of Rem
brandt n Vandyck in the National
Gallery. Then she painted the portrait
Of Princess May, wife of the Duke of
York, and it created a distinct sensation.
Commissions from members of the Eng
Iish aristocracy followed. and when 1t
finally became known that the artist
was without hands or arms her work
became still more appreciated because
of the most insurmountaple ~ficulti
which she had overcome in her career
She established a studio in London
which became at once a fashionable re-
sort. Her portraits are remarkable for
simplicity and are modern in n and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Press"

BITTER AGAINST HER DAUGHTER.

Wells Wither and Mrs Katie Mcdonald
were arranged before Justice Potts on Sat
urday afternoon charged with living to-
gether unlawfully. The couple were arrested
on complaint of James T.. Mcdonald, of No.
ITO Fourteenth street, husband of the
woman.
Mcdonald testified that his wife left him
three weeks ago and Q to live with
Wither. Mrs, Julia Craig, of No. 200
Newark avenue, mother of Mrs. Mcdonald,
was particularly bitter against her daughter,
aud seemed very anxious to have her sent to
jail. She swore that Mrs. Mcdonald left
her husband five days after her baby was
born, and accused her of doing all sorts of
things.
There was absolutely no evidence to show
that the couple were guilty of any improper
conduct, and in d~ischarging them Justice
Potts paid his respects to Mrs. Craig by say
ing that he did not think much Of the testi
mony Of a mother who seemed so very anx-
ious to nave her daughter punished.

OLD JERSEY CITY MANS SUICIDE.
Charles Leroy yelling Cuts His
Throat at His Home in Trenton.

Special to the Jersey City Neacs.
TRENTON. Sept. 80, 1S95.-Charles Le-
roy yelling. a popular club man and poet,
was found yesterday morning in the cellar
of his home with his throat cut. The act is
thought to nave been committed shortly
after midnight, when he was seen entering
his home, 66 North Clinton avenue. A SER
want discovered the body in a pool of blood
on a wood pile. A stained razor was found
near the body. He had been drinking hard
for several days, and remorse, it is thought,
caused him to take his own life.
Charles Leroy Yelling was well known in
Philadelphia and New York. He was form
erly with the law firm of Gilchrist, McGili
& Gilmore, in Jersey City. The second
member of the firm is Chancellor McGill,
Democratic candidate for Governor. He
was admitted to the bar when he was not
twenty-one years of age, but has not prac-
ticed for some time, having become con-
nected with a large rubber company. and
was more recently connected with hisfather,
Lewis s. yelling, a rubber manufacturer.
He was a bachelor and forty-one years of
age. He was about to publish a small book
of poems. nearly all Of which had been pub
Iished in magazines and weeklies.
He had written several ballads and COM
posed several successful pieces of music. He
had in mind some day to write an opera. He
was exceedingly popular because OF his
amiabillty and brightness.
Mr.. yelling was an accomplished must
clan and during his residence in Jersey City
was organist in several churches.

SaIvationists Regularly Assaulted in
His Precinct.
The meetings of the Salvation Army on
Congress street for theepast several nights
nave been regularly disturbed by a crowd Of
hoodlums, who, after compelling them to
close up the meeting, would follow the
Salvationists down the street and threaten
to hit them. Often the hoodlums would
throw missiles at them and then jeer at the
male members of the Army for not fighting
them.
Saturday night several of the gang threw
a dog into the room where the Salvationists
were meeting and then wired the doors SO
as no one could get out. One of the lassies
recognized George Ulrich, of Bowers street,
a brother-in-law OF Patrol Driver Parks, as
having thrown the dog into the room and
she had him arrested.
This morning when Ulrich was arraigned
before Judge Douglass he denied having had
anything to do with disturbing the meetings
but admitted to having been with the boys.
He was held, however, for further examine
ton.

THE NEW COMMANDER.
General Miles Literally Fought His
Way to the Top.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80, 1S95.-Nelson
Appleton Miles, who is to succeed Lieu
tenant General Schofield as Major Cen
eral Commanding the Army, was born
at Westminster, Mass, in 1889, and with
the exception of General Sheridan, is
the youngest officer that ever held that
position. His appointment possesses
more thar ordinary interest from the
fact that he is the first occupant of the
high office who has not been graduated
from the West Point Military Academy.
It can literally be said he fought his
way up the ladder.
The outbreak of the wan found him a
clerk i'm a crockery store in Boston. At
ter a six months course in a temporary
military school in that city, which was
paid for by his employer, young Miles
went to the front as second lieutenant
in the 22d Massachusetts, Volunteers.
He rose through successive grades to
that of major general, being brevetted
for conspicuous gallantry in the bat
ties of the Wilderness, Chaneellorsviile
and S-pottsylvania Court House, and
was wounded three times.
At the close of hostilities he entered
the regular army as colonel of the 10th
y. III ID oo Oil f&Ici l. tAiSN
he is best known to the younger genera
ton. He gained enviable distinction by
his hard fighting and brilliant campaigns
against the Comanches, the Nez Perces,
the Bannocks and tine Sioux under Sit
ting Bull. Kansas, Montana, Arizona
and New Mexico all voted him either
thanks or swords Of honor. He brought
about the capture of Sitting Bull, and
subsequently compelled the r~edoubtable
Geronimo to surrender.
He was in command OF the troops
during the turbulent times preceding the
Wounded Knee roubles a few years
ago, and it was his management of that
campaign that undoubtedly prevented a
genera outbreak. More recently he
distinguished himself by his course
while commanding the Federal troops
during the railway strike and riots in
Chicago.
In 1880 he became brigadier general and
in 1890 major general. His last com
mand was that of he Department of
the East, with headquarters at New
York.
The official order retiring General
Schoield. and appointing. General Miles
as his. successor will probably be ISSUED
from the War Department some time
today

.SDecidl to the Jersey City NeatA.

Special to the Jefscp CttU NedfA
SOMERvILLE, Sept. 80, 1895.-William
Fleming, Of Fox Hill, had a thrilling expert
ence on the tracks of the Central Railroad,
near this place, at half-past five o'clock Sat
urday night, in which he narrowly escaped
death. Fleming and a companion were
about to cross the railroad with a team of
horses attached to a light road wagon. The
team drew the wagon and its occupants upon
the tracks and then baked. At this tim
the Easton express came dashing through a
cut about one hundred yards from the cross
ing. AS the train bore down on them
Fleming and his companion struggled fran
tically to force the team from the tracks.
They had succeeded in backing the wagon
from the rails and turning the team part
way around when the express crushed into
them, killing one horse instantly and badly
injuring the other. The wagon was badly
shattered and the men were paralyzed with
fear. After recovering from the shock
Fleming and his companion procured a new
conveyance and started for their home
among the hills.
