A Distressing Scene.

New York, May IA violent scene was enacted in the ante-room of the grand jury to-day, when Louise Ran dolph, otherwise known as Louise Soper, a colored domestic servant of Adele Ritchie, an actress, was brought to the district attorney's office to be com mitted to the Tombs prison, The negress was brought from East Orange on extradition proceedings on an indiot- ment for grand larceny, for stealing S9000 of money and jewelry from her mistress. The actress and friend were waiting at the district attorneys office to identify the prisoner, but when she beheld her former mistress the negress broke forth in such loud cries and vail ing that the two women with all the attendants in the ante-room were scarcely able to restrain her sufficiently to be taken down to the clerks room, where the commitment papers were written. Afterward the screaming wo- man,, struggling with all her might, was taken to the Tombs prison across the way, where she was confined in the women's ward.

East Haven school Site.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 Being a former resident of East Ha- ven I am quite interested to see the anticipated school house located cen trally and where 1t will show off to the best adNahtags. There is just such a site that can be obtained If the matter is left in the hands of commission of outside parties to select, which seems now the only way to. settle the matter
 A number of the most prominent cit izens and tax payers, those who have the interests of the town at heart, think there is no better location than the lot belonging to E,F,Thompson, be- tween his two houses. There Is plenty of room in all directions, so the school building would not be near enough to either house to be objectionable. It would be a commanding site, where the building would be an ornament to the town, as well as to the surround ings, and would undoubtedly give gen. eral satisfaction.

 Revival Season. Recovery is Now the Most Rapid and Lasting. Paine's Celery Compound Makes
 Vigorous Nerves.
It Purif7es the Blood as Mo- thing Else Can Possibly Do.

As a spring remedy, Paine's celery compound stands easily first in the careful judgment of the physicians of this country.
 This remarkable discovery of Prof. Edward D. Phelps, M, D., IL. D., of Dartmouth college, is in fact so cer- tainly first in the estimation of think ing men and women in every calling throughout the United States to-day that there can fairly be said to be no second.
 For strengthening the sick, restoring the spent energies of those who have become nervously exhausted, for puri- flying the blood and making people well, Paine's celery compound has never yet been approached by any sarsapa- rilla, tonio or nervine. It Is as superior to them all as strength is superior to weakness. The remarkable results from the use of this great remedy are to-day known at first hand in every city and village in America.
 The people are to-day thoroughly satisfied by personal experience that Paine's celery compound makes people we'll

As Usual.

 Dainty wild flowers peeping shyIy from the grass, Little children laughing lightly as they pass; Merry birds beginning downy nests tc make, Country Laddles busy with the hoe and rake; Grass upon the hillside green as any thing, Shrubs and trees a-budding-ohl at last 'tis spring. Long we groaned and grumbled wish ing winter o'er, Don't suppose we'll ever grumble any more, Not, at least, until we feel the first hot wave; Then, no doubt, as usual we'll begin to rave. But just now we're happy, pleased as anything With the budding, bursting beauty of the spring.

AT SUNSET.

1t was clear, crisp October twilight
the six o'clock whistles were an
nouncing the end of that days labor
with men and women gladly rushing
TO their homes.
OF this crowd was a tall, slender girl
who rather indifferently strolled with
and was jostled by the hurrying ones.
Her great dark eyes We're very tired
from the columns of figures she had
added and re-added, her back ached in
rather dull and accomplishing way,
but her heart from its pure innocence
invariably made life pleasure. She
was 50 glad TO get away from the dingy
Office; she liked the fresh breeze tum-
bling her hair about her face and blow
ing her jaunty little hat 70 one side;
she enjoyed the anticipation of long
drive home in her old worn cart, and
then it was twilight,-tOa nervous and
active one, that hour brings rest; it is
a relaxing or stationary ana peaceful
time-and from a certain hill on the
drive where old Jim" had TO rest, was
the great expanse of sky and earth
that made such feast for her nature
loving soul.
Around the corner stood the
cart, and jumping in she was soon
rumbling along. The trying figures
had quite disappeared from her mind,
the painful back was forgotten and
she drew in the cold dry air with great
drafts; IL was such a pleasure, she
thought. TO be girl and driving home.
With few more turns the great hill
would be reached and she would rest

as highwaymen. There were cneats
who came for the aid because they
knew they could get it free, and save
their own store of money and grain.
There were greedy ones who robbed
the needy, fearing that the supply
would run short. But old man
MacFarland came to the laid rooms"
as publican and sinner.
And / know it cost Annie a year of her
life every time she let him come, for she
hadsuch high hopes when they came
And she made the best of every little
thing she had. Her parlor was full OF
hair flowers and wax crosses and pic
ture frames made from pine cones,
which she had brought from the east,
and that, too, before they could afford
q carpet 1t seemed to me she never
would get rags enough to start one. she
was so saving of every stitch in the
house. She made carpet-rag rugs, oval
shaped affairs, with which she covered
the bare places on the floor, and she put
fancy piece quilts over her trunks and
made tables of her boxes, and adorned
everything with paper flowers, and
dried leaves and grasses and bitter
sweet and winter berries IN the fall and
winter. until her house was the marvel
of the little pioneer town. She
was a middle-aged woman then,
but there was something of the
enthusiasm of girlhood about her, even
in her forties, that communicated itself
to the old man and kept his eyes clear
err than many eyes that had seen far
less of sorrow and trouble than his had
seen. / remember some of the spiteful
neighbors said she used dye for her
hair, and perhaps they were telling the
truth, for | think that Annie MacFar-
land would have done anything to
keep young, and forgave her the hair
dye for the garden flowers and the birds
which she always kept about her.
And then it happened that when the
good times came the old man had
grown grizzled and gray. The clothes
he wore. even after we began to wear
smart clothes, and even after the city
had extended its boundaries to his
front yard in the early eighties, were
home made and of the coarsest fabrics.
Even the farmers, whom we scarcely
noticed in those days. improved in their
attire when they came in to trade.
There was a general air of newness
and of briskness about the growing
little town which indicated activity.

cussed from the pulpit to the stage
Even Mrs. Grannis. president OF the
Society for the Advancement OF Social
Purity. has had her say about Du
Maurier's heroine, and as TO whether
her profession is legitimate one for
good women.
Women models have always been
little sensitive about their profession,
and, since Trilby has been the favorite
topic OF studio gossip. some Of the best
of them have felt that sensitiveness
increase and have declined to pose for
the nude. Child models who have been
in the profession since before they
could walk have been forbidden to
enter studios. while women who have
supported their families by posing
have refused to mount the model stand
Miss Arabella Gold, who is known as
a famous figure model to the best art
lists of New York, has recently sent in q
public resignation from the profession.
She wrote to one of the leading New
York papers requesting that 1t publish
the fact that she would never again
pose for the figure. Miss Colds resig-
nation is decided loss 10 the artists,
She is said TO have one of the most ex-
quisitely formed figures in the world.
OF late she has been posing for a nnm-
Der of Sarony's living pictures. In one
of the most celebrated of these, she rep
resents an almost perfect fac-simile Of
the famous painting Psyche.
Many models whose forms have here
tofore been prominent features in the
portrait exhibitions declare that they
too will renounce the business entirely.
1t is not that they object to posing
nude, they claim, but the notoriety
which embarrasses their profession
has become intolerable since the publ
cation.
