Cyclienne on Her Muscle.

LONDON, August 3.-MrS. Alice
Madeleine Wackerbarth, Of Des-
pard road, Highgate hill, who ap-
peared with her left arm in a sling,
was charged at the Highgate po-
lice court with assaulting Florence
Blyth, and Police-constable Peter
Eaton, was charged with assault
ing Mrs. Wackerbarth by wilfully
pushing her from a bicycle. Flor
ence Blyth was walking from East
Finchley towards North Finch
ley, when she saw Mrs. Wack-
erbarth riding on a bicycle COM
ing in the opposite direction.
There were other cyclists about,
some Of whom appeared to be in
Mrs. Wackerbarth's company. Mrs.
Wackerbarth turned round to
speak to some one behind her, and
her bicycle swerved about very
much. Complainant called out
"You'll run me over" but Mrs.
Wackerbarth took no notice, and.
the bicycle struck her on the hin.
Complainant took hold of the
handle of the bicycle in order to
prevent being run over and Mrs.
Wackerbarth dismounted and said
to her-You-, have a good mind
to give you a-good hiding"
Complainant replied-"You can't
do that. 1t was not my fault :"
but Mrs. Wackerbarth then doubled
up Miss Blyth's hat, tbroke her hat
pin and hat grip, and after dragged
her by the hair across the road
way.
1t was stated that some passers-
by had INDUCED in such comments
as "You ought to be ashamed OF
yourself, you devil in trousers"
The defence was a total denial of
the assault. Regarding thepolice
constableit was stated that Mrs.
Wackerbarth was riding on the
same road, when she was called
upon by the constable to stop. She
was endeavoring to do so when she
was seized by the constable and
thrown from the bicycle in such a
manner that the fall caused severe
injuries to her left hand. The
court fined Mrs. Wackerbarth E3
and 3guineas cost.

nervous. AS soon as 1 get my
shot, am in my noy-
NAL condition again and feel
steady. Itake three shots a day
--one when 1 get up, one in the af.
ternoon and one before go to bed
use teaspoonful, which 1 absorb
in water, for each shot A bottle
containing about fifty. five grains,
lasts me about two days and costs
fifty cents. When / have the habit
have no desire for anything but
morphine. l would rather miss
three meals a day than one shot
Of morphine, when l need it.
"Some people use morphine in
ternally, while great many use it
hypodermically. Using it inter-
nally requires greater amount. 1
can't take it that way. 1t makes
me sick. / shoot it in my arms
or legs. / know people whose arms
ana legs are all sore from the use
Of it, but this is caused by careless
ness. / never have sore arms.
/ seldom take a shot when alone
and always like for some one to be
around. The reason for this Is that
1 may accidentally strike an artery
while taking an injection, and that
would be the last Of me. / have
often struck a vein and have had
several close calls, but 1 am afraid
an artery would knock me out for
ever. When / strike a vein the
blood rushes to my head and it
feels as II somebody is standing
over and pounding me on the head
with club. People who have
seen me say my face becomes cop.
per colored and my lips turn blue
and tremble. My eyes roll up and
/ am all but dead.
"Morphine is the curse Of the
age, and had 1 never seen it, L
would be better man today.
Thank God, that as yet 1 have not
craved for liquor, and that when l
die, although I'll be a complete
wreck from the use of morphine, it
will not be whisky that brought
me down.

HARTMAN NOTES.
BY TREBOR.

Our people are applying themselves
to the duties of the new year.
When 1894 left us we were made to
see our failures and mistakes. When
1895 stepped in, we resolved on "Re-
deeming the time, because the days are
evil" Yes, paying for time in good
thoughts, words and acts.
On the night of the Sd of this month,
near midnight, our energetic watch
man gave the fire alarm; our respon
sive people in full force reached the
commissary quickly, and found all OF
the inside of the building in flames.
After thoughtful consideration Of the
matter, our decision is the fire was
purely accidental; caused by defec-
tive f1ue. Loss to the Hartman Lum-
Der Company in commissaries $500 or
5000, with the books. Dan Hickman
lost the house worth S125, and between
S25 and S35 worth of post office equip
ments. No insurance for either party.
Christmas brought to us the usual
pleasant scenes. We had the best
managed Christmas tree in the Coun-
ty. Everything passed off we'll; the
little ones all happy.
Our Missionary is the first preacher
to get his monthly salary in the State.
Hurrah for Hartman !!

In 1892, Republication was rebuked
by the Democratic vote. In 1894 De-
mocracy was rebuked by the Republi-

mass their forces, and in 1896, fire on
the whole shoot'en match by loading
their guns with ballots and aiming

last resting place by multitude of

laid away in our city cemetery to
await the morning of resurrection. He
leaves devoted wife and bright lit

by Rev. DR.. Graham, a Presbyterian
minister of Summit.

Still they come. DR.. G. H. Trotter,

his brother, r. j. Trotter, who is hus-
Ting merchant, paid us another visit
recently and decided to locate in our
midst. One brings his pill bags and
the other his yard stick. Other coun-
ties are yet to be heard from.

FIRE AT WENTWORTH.

The College Makes a Narrow Escape from
the Fire Element
The Presidents residence, at Whit
worth College, known as the "Brown
House." accidentally caught fire
tonight Tuesday, as The LEAD
ER's forms were being closed. Prompt
action by the firemen and citi-
zens with buckets barely saved this
and the other buildings, and of course
everybody feels like congratulating
everybody. The damage to the wall
and ceiling of two of the rear rooms
amounts to about 5000.

She was married to j. M. Sutton Jan.
l4th, 1s47. They lived together AZ
years and 10 months. She joined the
Mt. Vernon Baptist church July the
u, 1850. The 81 years of her Christian
life were faithfully spent in the SER
vices of our Lord, his cause and his
people, meeting as regularly as she
could with her church in the stated
meetings for public worship. Often
has the writer been edited, encourag-
ed and strengthened by her whole
some advice. In her far-reaching faith
she often brought of the joys of the
Beulah land into her soul, her home,
and the company she was in. While
on her last bed of affliction she said,
Lord, If thou hast more for me to do,
give me ease; if not let me pass away"
When asked about her future happi-
ness, she. SAID, 81 do not see why
should not be happy, for have tried
to live Christian life," and exclaimed
Lord, | am here yet, want to get
through. | will soon be with my bless
ed Savior" She called her loved ones
around her. She wanted them to meet
her in Heaven. Will you, my dear
friends, do that? Believing you are
following him. The way, and the
Truth and the Life"-hold out faith
fully unto the end and the promise is
yours
1--WE shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn
We shall meet TO part, no never,
On the resurrection morn
In the bright eternal city,
Death can never, never come
In his own good time he'll call us
From our rest to home, sweet home.'
Therefore let your prayers be "near-
er my God to thee" | trust we shall
all meet on the other shore to enjoy
eternity together, in praise to him.
