WORKING FOR mrs. MAVERICK
Association Formed for The Purpose Of
Securing Ger Release.
They Are Pursuing That End With
Steady Persistence and Ask for
Popular Subscriptions.

A quiet but persistent effort Is still on
foot to secure rcopeniug of the famous
case of Mrs Maybrick, the unfortunate wo-
man who Is laDgUishng in an English
prison "n the charge of having murdered
her husband
Few criminal cases have attracted more
attention than this For months it was
world-talk and frum everywhere protests
and criticisms on the c',urse of the court
which tried Mrs. Maybrick poured in. As
far as general publicity is concerned, the
matter has apparently faded from the pub
lie. but there is iand of nublc women who
remember yet the fact that the unfortunate
woman lies in prison, and are earnestly
working-to the end of her release.
The Woman's International Maybrick A s.
sociati"n was organized some time since.
and its membership has been steadily in
creasing. The society was formed in
London on May 80, for the purpose Of
making known to the people of England the
facts of the M.ybrick case-the gruunds for
believing that Mrs. Maybrick had an un-
fair trial, and is suffering an unjust i'm
prisonnleut
committee was formed. and il was de-
cidcd to appeal tu the women OF England
and America to assist in opening popular
subscription of one shilling in England,
and of 20 cents in America. They were led
to this course for the folio wing reasons:
1. There are large numbers of intelligent
persOns-amung whom is the Lord Chief
Justice OF England-who have thoroughly
investigated all the facts of the case, and
who believe that this lady is suffering
penal seryitude unjustly, and that she
neither murdered her husband, nor at
tempted to murder him.
2. She did not have fair trial.
8. New and important testimony has
come to light since, which, if ii had been
given at her trial, conviction would have
been impossible.

proves successful it will practically speak

for travel that has yet been known in this
or in any other country. The pneumatic
tires are very much larger than those of any
other bicycle, the idea being To furnish a
cushion that will not be affected by any
unevenness, even large ones, in the rad
over which the rider travels Attached
to the rear wheel is a mechanism which
develops the power to send the wheel for
ward by means of q small two-cylinder
naphtha engine of about two-horse power,
which weighs twelve pounds. This bi-
cycle, 1t is said, will go at the rate Of
from twenty-five TO thirty miles an hour.

With October almost here and the ther-
mometer ranging close to the one hundred
iegree mark, some complaint would not
be surprising even though complaint be
powerless as remedy. 1t is some consola-
tion to know that Washington has not been
by any means the hottest or equal to the
hottest place. Not a single case of sun
Aroke or serious prostration from the
effects of heat has been reported here,
while at Chicago, st. Louis and many other
cities deaths from that cause have been
numerous.
ooler things are promised, and the mere
promise makes one feel cooler. The Sig
.Ial officer tells the coast people to look out
!or gales this evening. Snow is reported
flying merrjly in Dakota, and one almost
tnIgincs one can hear sounds of sleigh
bells. The equinoctial storm season is
here, and, moreover, the extreme heat has.
lasted for as long period without change
IS 1t usually does in midsummer.
With the GOODNESS which must inevitably
omc within short time, the autumn tide
of summer beaux and bellies will turn city
ward in earnest. Citizens of all types viii
return. visitors win multiply, business
will ''pick up" at hotels and shops, and the
domestic machinery of the White House
will once more grind out the intelligence
that even President Cleveland has aban-
doned summer idling and is doing business
at the old stand.

The total circulation of the Star last week

prosperity never before known in Wash

The circulation of The Times is bona -fide

larger returns.

Profitable Ventriloquisnn.

Brewster tells of master in his art,
Louis Brabant, valet &c chambre to
Francis I, whose suit was rejected by
the parents of beautiful and we'll
lowered girl with whom he was in love.
He called on the mother, after the death
Of the father, again 10 urge his suit,
and while he was present she heard the
voice of hor deceased husband express
ing remorse for having rejected Louis
Brabant, and conjuring her to give i'm
mediate consent to the betrothaL
Frightened, she consented. Brabant,
deeming it desirable to behave literally
in the marriage agreements, but not
having much cash at command, resolved
to try whether his ventriloquism would
be as efficacious with a money lending
banker as it had been with the widow.
Calling on the old usurer at Lyons,
he managed that the subject should
turn upon the subject of demons, spec
ters, and purgatory: Suddenly was
heard the voice of the usurer's father,
complaining Of the horrible sufferings
he was enduring in purgatory, and say
ing that there was no way of obtaining
alleviation except by the usurer advanc-
ing money to the visitor for the sake Of
ransoming Christians from the hands Of
the Turks. The usurer was terrified,
but too much in love with his gold to
yield at once.
Brabant went next day and resumed
the conversation, when shortly were
heard the voices of host Of dead rela-
tives, all telling the same terrible story
and all pointing out the only way of OBJ
tanning relief. The usurer could resist
no longer. He placed 10000 crowns in
the hands of the unsuspected ventrilo-
quist, who Of course forgot to pay il
over for the ransom Of Christians either
il Turkey Or anywhere else.-Lippi,l-

then withdraw.
"That's bad. But there is very Sim

TO ENVEEATO ORSy

If you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you wants good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some OF them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to a lightning rod without a ground con-
nection. That is the kind an inventor is like
Iy to get when he draws up his own Specifca-
tions or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
Do you want to know what the Press Claims
Company is? 1t is a syndicate of hundreds of
the leading papers of the United States, Or
ganiZed to protect those of the subscribers
who have dealings with Government against
the impOSitfOnS of unScrupulOuS claim agents.
The SPECTATOR is member.
This able Company employs the best legal
talent in every branch of its work. 1t makes
i speciality of all matters relating to patents
conducting interferences, prosecuting rejected

Miss Binks had uttered a sharp, in
voluntary Cry. But it was nothing, she
assured her parent, only pin that she
had stuck in q little too deep.
The same afternoon however, she
effectually ruined the kettles constitu-
tion for life by putting it on to boil
empty.
The next morningit was Sunday
she received a message. She had packed
her old father off to chapel as usual,
and was giving as much Of her attention
as was available to the dinner when it
arrived.

presented he's compliments to Miss
Binks and would be 'appy to see 'er if
she would be so good as to step up that
AFTERNOON bout O'Clock or ha' past -
Jim Kitchens lived i'll little drab
colored corner house, about half way
down High street. Since his illness Il
married sister had come over from one
OF the neighboring villages to look after
him, else he had always lived alone,
with woman to come in now and then
"to do fer him"
He was SO weak and such ghost of
his former self that Miss Binks feelings
became too much for her, and she, so to
speak, boiled over at the sight of him,
just like the kettle.
"Oh, Jim," she cried, casting eti-
quette to the winds, ooh, Jim, my
dear, whatever ave you been a-doin of
to yourself?'
"Nothin, Miss Binks, nothin to
speak Of was the feeble reply.
Then, as she sat down by the side Oh
the bed and listened to his labored
breathing, her heart smote her more and
more for her faithlessness and cruelt!
in the past, until the tears ran even
down her bonnet strings, rusting all
the pins they encountered and taking the
starch out of her best collar.
Half an hour Or so passed without
another word being uttered on either
side. Then the sick man made an effort.
'sYou'll be wonderin, Miss Binks,
why I've took the liberty to send for
you, only-you see-the doctor, he don't t
seem to think as 'ow I'll last much
longer-but-afore go-I thought as 7
owed it to you-seein 'ow long we KEEP
company-to"-
The voice was SO weak that Miss
Binks had to lean down and put her ear
almost to his mouth to catch the mean
ing of the last words.
''To-ask you-to-name the day!'
Jim Kitchens died the same week,
but not before Miss Binks had the salts
faction of knowing that "the day." so
long delayed, had been fixed at last.
"Ah," she used to say to her SYM
pathizing friends, ''pore Jim! We KEEP
company a goodish while, me and i'm,
and the very day was fixed-it were to

CONSOLATION.
Waking, I dreamed, and deemed N

Waking, dreamed, and deemed my vision
true,
Waking, dreamed of love which never dies.
All, rapturously blessed all things I knew
And felt the blessing of the earth and skies,
Till DER my daydream sank nights despair,
A sleepless night of misery and care,
That yelled with tears the vision from mine
eyes.
Waking, dream no more, yet needs must
sing,
For when the day is fed with sunset feet,
Across the pillow of my couch l fling
My tangled locks, and gladly nighttime
greet,
l sigh for joy and close mine aching eyes,
And sleeping dream of lovo which never dies,
And sleeping dream and deem my vision
truel
Thus consolation lights grief's blinded eyes,
