SENSITIVE MODELS.

Publication Of 'Trilby'' Causes Some to
Resign From thu Profession.
Women models have always been q
little sensitive about their profession,
Gays q writer in the Boston Herald, and
since "Trilby'' has been the favorite
topic Of studio gossip some Of the best
of them have felt that se~nsitiveness in
crease 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 stu
dios, while women who have supported
their families by posing have refused to
mount the model stand.
Miss Arabella Gold, who is known as
D famous figure model to the best New
York artists, has recently sent in a pub.
lie resignation from the profession.
She wrote to m Of the leading New
York papers requesting that it publish
the fact that she would never again
pose for the figure. Miss Colds resig.
nation is a decided loss to 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 num-
Der Of Sarony's living pictures. In one Of
the most celebrated Of these she repre-
SCENTS an almost perfect facsimile Of the
famous painting, Psyche"
Many models whose forms have here
tofore been prominent features in the
portrait exhibitions declare that they.
too. will renounoe the business entirely.
It is not that they object to posing nude,
they claim. but the notoriety which en-
harnesses their profession has become
intolerable since the publication.
The majority Of models interviewed
have not read the book, but claim that
Trilby, whoever she was. has seriously
degraded the profession. Some spoke of
her as a New York model guilty of
some despicable crime. Others believed
her to be q reformer.

Canine Etiquette.

Conventional rules are most useful in
intercourse with strangers, and this feel
ing, the result Of deliberate reflection
among men, seems quite as we'll under
stood by animals. The number Of steps
which a prince or ambassador might adj
to meet the other without derogat-
ing from his dignity, and the frequent
halts and bows, find a parallel in the
amusing form Of canine etiquette, when
n dog ''spies stranger" at a distance.
The first dog stops short, then trots on a
little, then crouches and finally lies fat
down, with its nose IN its paws, like a
skirmisher ordered to open fire on the
enemy. The other dog, which was less
quick sighted, sometimes lies down, too,
but more usually trots slowly up, with
occasional halts.
The action Of the first seems clearly to
be a survival Of q time when a dog nat
urally crouched in order to conceal itself
the moment it saw any other creature
which might hurt it or which, ON the
contrary, it might want to stalk. The
sudden drop is something like that Of a
setter when creeping" up IN to the
birds, but more like the crouch of the
fox when it sees a hare or wants to con-
ceal itself from persons whom it sees
while it is still unseen. But now it is
observed as pure convention, n which
is obviously mere show, but to omit
which would be a breach Of canine Ell.
quette which might and sometimes does
lead to a fight. London Spectator.

The persisteucy with which the friend

The persisteucy with which the friends
OF Defaulter Taylor and the enemies Of
the republican party have tried to make
it appear hat the state authorities
would not bring Taylor to justice or So
cure the reimbursement Of the stolen
funds is now happily giving way to the
less serious but more contemplate
charge that the state has compromised
the embezzlement, hence the return Of
the fugitive from justice. The falsity OF
this latter charge coarsely and persist
emily reiterated by these cuckoos Of
oalumny, is being denied and exposed
by the more reliable Of our daily news
papers and the outcome Of the whole
affoir will soon corroborate to the people
of wisdom, shrewdness and honesty Of
the prosecution in recovering the proper
ty Of the people as we'll as Bringing the
criminal to the bar Of justice and penal
ty. The idea Of compromise has been
honestly spurned, time and again, by
every state officer having anything to do
with the case and now that the fugitive
has returned and given himself up, be.
cause there was nothing but a life Of
misery without even financial gain left
to him if he stayed away, the officers Of
the state are just as positive in their
declarations that there is no compromise
connected with his appearance and deliv-
cry. Taylor himself asserts there is no
compromise in the case as be returns Of
his own v~olition and throws himself on
the mercy Of the court. Even the Argus
Leader which is chiefly responsible for
the fabrication of the compromise canard
gives the case away and reveals the true
cause Of the false report when it says:
at appears that after the adjournment
OF the grand jury and the handing down
Of the indictments against Mccoy, Bene-
dict and others Mccoy vent to Attorney
General Crawford and proposed the
terms"
Mr.. Crawford's first duty was to use
all his ingenuity in recovering the pro-
perty Of the state which he did and had
virtually secured whether Taylor was
caught or not. and second to capture aud
punish Taylor. If in his zeal to accom-
plish the first he squeezed the hackers Of
Taylor 30 hard they were glad to sur
-,nder the principal, Mr.. Crawford was
Zubly successful and no compromise
about it. II Taylor returned of his own
accord after he learned that MIR. Craw.
ford had the dead cinch on his friends as
he personally confesses, then he did not
return because of a compromise, and Mr..
Crawford is still the honorable victor.
The success of the state administration
in bringing Taylor to Justice and in re-
covering the value Of the stolen proper
ty is no doubt very CALLING to the Argus
Leader and the abettors of the disgraced
ex-treasurer, but the result is and will
be very gratifying to the people of South
Dakota.

A Run OF Luck Which Enriched an I'm
~pecunious Gambler.

Some years ago, when gambling flour
ished in Washington, two Of the most
enthusiastic votaries of faro were old
Bill Lunsford and Adam Koch. They
usually bucked the animal together, and
when they had q winning streak the
bank proprietor was apt to walk the
floor n~ervously, and there would be shift
ing Of dealers every quarter Of an hour
Or s. G. When the tickle goddess frowned
upon them, however. there was joy in
the heart of the man who carried the
roll, and pheasants and venison were liza
BILE to mark the nex nights supper.
They always played the limit, which
vas $25 to leases in most of the rooms
in their day, whether their luck was
good or bad, and consequently they won
big money or lost their stakes in short
order.
One night Koch went up into Jones'
place, over Charlie Godfrey's saloon, on
e street, without a cent in his pocket.
Lunsford was spread out before the faro
table, with red chips at 81. 25 apiece
stacked up in front Of him and stacks
covering the case cards on the board. He
wa tipsy and unsociable, and when Koch
suggested the loan Of a couple Of stacks
he was met with a stormy refusal
He sat down and watched the play, how
ever, and at last Lunsford, who was
calling for a small bottle every other
turn, got drunken and put a pile of chips
IN the king, of which only one had
shown. In a moment two kings followed
each other in the deal, and Jim Davis,
who vas dealing, took down half Of
Lunsford's bet. In doing SO he found the
latter had put 10 chips instead Of 20 ON
the card, and consequently he left nine
chips and II split, or half a check, OH it.
Lunsford was wild. He hated a split
worse than any gambler who ever played
q system, and he turned ON Koch.
lyon wanted a stake, durn you, and
now you can have it, he exclaimed,
and he threw the split at Koch. The
latter coolly picked up the 62h cents
and put it on a card. 1t won. He shifted
the chip to another place, and it won
again. Here and there he moved the
chips over the table, now coppering
them and now playing them open, and
every time he won. At the end of the
deal he had $50. At the end Of the next
he had s245. The news got out on the
street that Adam Koch had struck a
winning streak. This was enough to
crowd Jones place with curious and ex-
cited spectators. At midnight Koch was
$1,4OO ahead of the game. At 5 o'clock
in the morning he arose and called for
a bottle Of wine and paid the boy with
$40 bill out Of a roll containing just
g., 800. That was the luckiest gamble
ever known in Washington. And Luns-
ford went broke trying to copper Koch's
steady luck.-Chicago Times Herald.

Government May Go Into the Collsction
Business II Spain Doesn't Pay.
NEW York, June 20.-A specia, from
Washington indicates that the govern.
ment has demanded that Spain imme-
diately pay the Mora claim Of one and
one-half million dollars, or severe meas
ures will be taken for its collection.
Antonio Maxine Mora was an Amer
bean citizen owning valuable sugar
property in Cuba. During an insurrec-
ton in that island, it was confiscated
by the Spanish government. Should
the Spanish government neglect to
properly press upon the cortes the i'm
portance Of granting the necessary
funds, or should the cortes refuse to
allow IN appropriation for Mora, it
may become necessary to occupy Ha-
vAna and to retain control Of customs
dues there until an amount equal 10
the Mora indemnity has been collected.
