GENERAL SHELBY'S WATCH.

General 10 Shelby received some well
come news recently which he made
known to some friends yesterday for
the first time. He is of the opinion
that the news will ultimately result in
his securing again the gold watch that
was once his fathers, and was stolen
in 1848 at Lexington, KY.
In 1848, General Shelby. who was
then but young man, was employed
at Lexington by Colonel Samuel jack
son. He slept in room over the bust
ness house, and was the owner of a fine
gold watch that had been carried for
many years by his father. At the
death of the elder Shelby it was pre-
scented to General Shelby by his
mother, as she wished it to be kept in
the family.
One morning it was stolen from the
room by sneak thief and no trace
was discovered as to who did the work,
and after a search had been carried on
for several years it was dropped and
the watch given up as lost.
That was in 1850, and from that
time until few days ago no tidings
had ever come to him of the watch, and
all hope of ever seeing it again had
long since died out. Some days ago he
received letter from gentleman at
Peach Orchard, w. Va, in which he
said he was in possession of the wtach
and had been for short time. 1t con-
tanned General Shelby's name and he
had understood it was his property at
one time, and wrote to learn if he was
still alive. and il so. did he care to
have the timepiece returned.
The letter awakened emotions and
memories that had slumbered for
nearly half century, and General
Shelby became possessed of deep de-
sire to see the watch again and have it
in his possession. He said yesterday
he would see that word was at once
sent to the man to forward the watch
and name a suitable reward for it
when it arrived. The watch was a
gold one, and, as watches were valued
at that time, was superior one in
every respect. 1t will be welcome
one for General Shelby now after so
many years, and will be one of his
most dearly priced treasures. Kansas

HAPPENED AT THE WHEEL.

"Why, no." said the mate, 81 can't
say that we're bit more superstitieus
than other folk. You get into the
moors and hills and you'll find lands
men quite as foolish as any of us. I'll
not deny but there may have been a
time-and yet I'm not very sure.
That's true enough about steam; any
way, blue water isn't so lonely as it
must have been when we were all
under canvas. Seems to me it's lone
illness that breeds superstition, and
there's no loneliness like that of the
high seas on a starry night. Still
things do happen now and again
things there's no accounting for.
"Here's case now: l wonder what
you would make of it? 1t was ON
May night, something like fifteen years
ago, and we were coming up the chan
mel. 1t was one of those queer nights
when the stars are clear overhead, but
everything about you's as black as your
hat. We were bowling along with
fresh breeze that brought us smell of
old England, and everything seemed
shipshape and snug, when all of sud-
den the lookout sent up yell, and
right ahead of us there was flash Of
lights and looming Of big shadow,
black against the very darkness. The
moment the lookout shouted there was
a cry. Hard a-port' and I gave the
wheel a whirr to set it flying.
don't expect you to believe it,, but make
what you like Of it the wheel stuck as
if it had been spiked. flung all my
strength ON to it; it was fixed like
stanchion. You can't guess what felt
at that moment, with that cry in my
ears and that big shadow rushing out
of the darnkess. Then two invisible
hands, cold as ice, were laid on mine
with steady grip, and the wheel was
sent flying hard a-starboard. We
swung up into the wind, and as we
did SO great ocean liner passed us at
almost leaping distance. Had we gone
to port we should have been cut in
two.
mo, I told you couldn't account
for it. I've wondered, too, at times.
for our captains brother was lost in
the ohannel-run down just like that.

THE EMANCIPATION OF LABOR nv N,
CHINERY.

One OF the interesting proofs of IL.
tightening of toll by the aid of ma
ohinery is found in the constantly en-.
larsing sphere of labor being Opened
to self-supporting women. and tho
prediction is here mado that within
the next quarter of century tba
ranks of the mechanic will be. largely
augmented by women.
Statistics show that the number Of
women to whom the sewing machine
gives occupation today, is .vastly-greater
than the number who formerly gained
precarlous livelihood with the needle
or WHO could obtain similar worl,
under old conditions.
Contrast the work a-day'' clothes
and simply made Sunday go to meet.
in" garments of the people of cen.
fury ago with the wonderful variety
and completely of finery comprising
the holiday attire, and. indeed. the
everyday wearing apparel, of those of
a similar class today. If 1t is true. as
stated, that one sewing machine oper-
ated by one woman will do the work
of ten hand sewers, it is no less true
that the modern woman possesses ten
times as many garments as her sister
OF former age, and each garment dis
plays ten times as much machine-sewed
work upon it.
But the sewing machine is mere
suggestion. The mind is fairly stag
gered in contemplation of wealth of
opportunity for wage earners that has
been created by the steam engine
especially in the form of the steamship
locomotive, which have literally opened
new worlds to the old worlds poor.
And what is true of the steam engine
is true only in lesser degree of the
telegraph, the telephone, the electric
motor, the turbine and the whole range
of modern agricultural machinery
The modern bicycle-a theoretically
project invention, and in some respects
an almost perfect mechanism-ha
already produced beneficial effects upon
the physical development of the wage
earning class sufficiently marked to at
tract general notice, and its future in
fuence is incalculable. 1t is destined,

from many of the conventional shackles
which have bound her for ages, and
from some physical disabilities which
have hitherto limited her sphere OF
occupation. This is only one Of the
many striking instances in which IN
vention is helping to benefit the masses.
/ am convinced that modern mechan-
ical inventions have in all cases proved
to be distinotively beneficial to the
wage Garner. He is through their
aid better housed. better. fed, better
clothed, better educated, has more num-
erous and better amusements, and is
thus approaching more nearly the con-
dition of life of the employer; indeed,
the wage Garner today enjoys many ad.
vantages of civilization which were
unknown to the employer of genera
ton gone by.
The majority of employers in this
country are men who have risen from
the ranks, and many of our most i'm
portant inventions have been made by
wage earners, who have the best OPP
portunity. through experience in their
daily work. to learn the necessities of
the age.-A. E. Outerbridge, Jr., En-,

WEDDING AND FUNERAL TOGETHER.

John A. Chittenden of Ashley.
Mich, on his deathbed requested that
his sister Louise and her betrothed,
Charles A. Holmdon, be married over
his coffin. The wedding Originally
was to have taken place September
25th, but the date was changed to
comply with the wish of the dying
man, and while he lay in his coffin
several days earlier his sister and her
sweetheart joined hands over the coffin
while Rev. John Glase performed the
marriage ceremony. Then he deliv-
cred the funeral grafton, and the newly
married couple occupied the first car
riage behind the hearse.

these guilty women to Justice, besides
many distinguished persons under sus-
picion. Among the accused was the
Marshal de Luxembourg, who. like
many others, was confined several
months in the Bastile, and the Coun.
tess de Scissors, the first mistress Of
Louis XIV. She fled to the Neither
lands but was denied admission by sew
eral towns, the magistrates informing
her that they wanted no prisoners
within their walls. The Investigations
made such noise in foreign countries
that apprehensions were entertained
lest Frenchman and poisoner should
be deemed synonymous terms.
The instances of women administer
ing poisons might be multiplied almost
definitely, but those which have been
given are among the most interesting
known to history.
When we inquire why it is that
women adopt this method of putting
obnoxious persons out of the way the
answer is not hard to give. Naturally,
woman is more vindictive than man.
o1O 0aUO5 Wlbu u0I W4OlO bOu1 anu 10
fearfully persistent when once her mind
has been made up to commit crime.
Probably the difference in this respect
between the nature of man and the
nature of woman is we'll shown, in
Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth, >"
where the husband is represented as
shrinking from committing murder,
but is constantly egged on by his wife.
But if we acknowledge that woman is
more vidictive, more determined in
criminal purpose and less forgiving
than man, we must also admit that
she is naturally adverse to violence and
blood-letting. In the famous Borden
case at Fall River, Mass. strong in
fluence in favor of the accused daughter
was exercised by the very manner OF
the killing. 1t was evident that the
murderer must have used considerable
force and must also have stood deliber-
ately over his victims while they were
butchered with Ratchet. There are,
no doubt, some women who could have
done this, but it is not woman's nature
to employ such vigorous and revolt
ing method. Poisoning is often re-
ferred to as the most despioable means
of taking life, as it necessarily in
wolves generalization and deliberation
and persistency on the part of the MUIR
derer. 1t has frequently been pointed
out that none but the most cold .blooded
wretch could put a person to death in
this manner, watching his victim slow
ly dying, helpless and unconsciously
taking more Of the poison each day
that he grows weaker. A man may
kill another, it is said by these anti
prisoners, in the most brutal way, as,
for example, by blow on the head
with a meat cleaver, but he may be
excused owing to the suddenness of his
passion and the loss of control over his
conduct.
On the other hand, however, poison
ing possesses a sort Of refinement, a
delicacy, treachery, certainty and in
seriousness that appeal strongly to the
female nature. 1t is not to be expected
that when woman, who is more
feryid hater than man, wishes to put
an enemy out of the way. she will do
it violently or by bloodshed. as long as
the more inviting and apparently
secure road of poisoning remains open.

dame de Sevigne. "were so many crimes
punished with such levity. This
female monster was merely beheaded;
her body was burned and her ashes
scattered to the winds. She was
spared the torture both ordinary and
extraordinary. So great was the appre-
hension lest she might make disclosures
that she was flattered with hopes of
pardon, and to this it was owing that
she went with such firmness to the
place of execution
A still stronger sensation was excited
in 1886 by the trial of La Vigoureux
and La Voison, who, with their accom-
plices, were committed to the famous
chambre ardente. When these two
women had no longer any personal
charms they began their trade in
poisons, selling the most virulent and
insidious drugs to women who were
tired of their husbands, and to children
who wished to get rid of their parents.
The common people consulted them as
sorceresses. and the courtiers in the
character of prisoners. For time they
practised their art without much noise:
