INTENSE COLD.
INs Eject Upon the Mental Faculties 81
ThOsN kubi0rted To lt.

Those subjert~d to IL.
Extreme cold. as Is well known, sx-
erts a benumbing influence upon the
mental faculties. Almost everyone who
has been exposed, for a longer or
shorter period, To a very low tempera-
ture has noted diminution in will
power, and often a temporary weaken
ing of the memory. Perhaps the
largest scale upon which this action has
ever been studied was during the re-
treat Of the French from, Moscow. The
troops suffered extremely from hunger,
fatigue and cold-from the latter per
haps most Of all. German physician
who accompanied a detachment OF his
countrymen has left an interesting ac-
count Of their trials during this retreat.
From an abstract of this paper by DIR.
Rose, in the New York "Medicinische
Monatschrift," we find that one Of the
earliest symptoms referable To the cold
was loss Of memory. This was noted in
the strong as well as those who were
already suffering from the effects of
the hardships 10 which they had been
exposed. With the first appearance Of
a moderately low temperature about
Ave degrees above zero Fahrenheit),
many of the soldiers were found To
have forgotten the names Of the most
ordinary things about them. as well az
those of the articles OF food for which
they were perishing. Many forgot
their own names and those Of thoir
comrades Others showed pronounced
symptoms of mental disturbance, and
not few became incurably insane, the
type Of their insanity resembling very
closely senile dementia. The cold was
probably not alone responsible for
these effects, for a zero temperature Is
rather stimulating than paralyzing in
its action upon the well-fed and the
healthy. These men we're half-starved.

Night Adventure OF Three GtrIs on .
California Road.


I'VE were driving from Oakland over
the ridge that divides Alameda and
Contra Costa county, three girls bound
for country dance at Morags Valley,
a little settlement on the Contra Costa
side. 1t was late in January, and the
night was pitch dark, but as the young
rancher who drove knew every inch of
the way we were not afraid.
I'VE had made the ascent Of the
mountain and were driving down at
good pace when suddenly the horses
stopped, reared and then swerved to
one side, overturning the rockaway and
landing us all In the mud on the side
of the road. No one was hurt, and as
we picked ourselves up. wondering in y
dazed way what the trouble was about,
something leaped out of the bushes,
over the backs OF the PROSTATE horses.
and lit in the brush on the lower side Of
the road. There was fearful roar,
and then we saw two great, green eyes
staring out of the darkness
The driver had succeeded In pulling
the frightened horses to their feet and
righting the wagon. He ordered us to
get into our seats, and, handing the
lines TO the girl on the front seat, he
told her to hang on for dear life.
Its a lion, and nell jump in an
other minuter said the man.
Then, as we sat speechless from
fright, the rancher drew his revolver.
There was a scream, unlike and more
dreadful than anything l had ever
heard; then the great beast rolled .
few feet in the brush and was still
After the horses were quieted and
we had regained our composure sufi-
GENTLY we jumped out of the rockaway
and with the aid Of matches examined
our game. 1t was splendid young
California mountain lion, measuring
about four feet In length. We three
girls were all very brave when we
found the beast was really dead, so we
helped the driver lift the carcass into
the back of the wagon and then con-
tinued our trip, creating great sensa-
ton among the rustics at the dance
when we told of our adventure. To be
sure, we gave the driver credit for the
actual killing, but weren't we there
when 1t happened, and didn't we keep
quiet, instead of screaming as lots OF
girls would have done?"

GAME AS LEGAL TENDER.
The New West Virginia Law Seems to
Work Well.

Work Well.
WHEELING, tDcc. 12.-Last year big
game, such as deer and turkeys, was
more plentiful than ever before. This
year the supply is away ahead of last
years. There is an old custom, peculiar
to West Virginia and Wheeling, which
makes game legal tender, or nearly So.
Merchants out in the mountains take
in deer, turkeys or almost any game in
exchange for goods, and the Wheeling
iobbers accept these in payment for
goods bought by the merchants. As a
result, hardware dealers are frequently
found handling venison, buckwheat and
country produce.
Recently, however, there has been
more venison on sale here than ever be-
fore, owing to new law which forbids
the shipping out Of West Virginia of
deer killed in the state. This makes
Wheeling the leading market for deer,
but it also discourages forays by hunters
from neighdoring states, and accomplish
es the object of the law, preventing the
wanton destruction of the animals.

WOMAN MARRIED THEM.
First Wedding on Record in Which a Wo-
man Acts as Priest.

First Wedding on Record in Which WO-
man Acts as Priest.
From the Minneapolis Journal
The first marriage ceremony on record
performed by woman in this country
took place few days ago in one of the
Maryland counties to the north of Wash
ington. The woman who tied the knot
was an ordained minister of the German
Baptist Brethren, or the Dunkard
church. The members of this curious
sect form large part ofathe population
of this Maryland county, and their Gu
rious customs have long since ceased to
excite the wonder of their neighbors,
aGd when it was announced that Miss
Laura E. Grosnickle would perform a
marriage ceremony;no one thought any
thi ng strange of it. The whole country
roundabout, however, was curious to see
the novel sight, and the little church
would not accommodate fourth of the
people who sought entrance. Those
who could not get in crowded around the
doors and windows in order to catch a
glimpse of what was doing inside.
Somewhat of a sensation was created
after the ceremony vas over by the
statement Of prominent lawyer present,
who declared that the marriage was void,
as the laws O. Maryland did not permi
women to perform marriages. The
states attorney, however, soon qnieted
the fears of the newly welded couple by
declaring that the marriage was valid.
The Maryland statutes are mixture of
old English and colonial laws, and some
curious complications grow out of them.
The new woman, however, is not going
to be turned down by any such old fogy-
ism, and will probably demand that
some of these objectionable statutes be
repealed.

audience, which Sc med to apprec late

''Bob' was making an address
eulogistic of the sonth, telling whimsical
stories and singing old songs, when
man in the gallery gave utterance to
grunt of displeasure and then a hiss.
The ex-governor stopped short, turned
his eyes up to the gallery and said:

Then the ex- governor walked Off the
stage. AS an evidence that the audience
was by no means in sympathy with the
man in the gallery, hearty applause
followed the speech.
The curtain went down, however, and
after few seconds painful silence an
attache of the show stepped forward and
said:
This is the first time we have been
treated discourteously, and Gov Taylor
is too much disconnected to proceed
with the entertainment"
The audience left the house with
feelings of chagrn. The management
of the Temple published card in the
Camden newspapers announcing that
those who had been dissatisfied with the
entertainment could have their money

MINNIE MAYS CAREER ENDED.
Said to Have Been Arrested 1000 Times
and to Have Saved 100000.

Said to have Been ArFSSLGu IsOOO A1AAOs
and to Have Saved 100000.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Minnie May, we'll knowe to the police
of Chicago and other cities as clever
and bold thief, has made enough money
at her nefarious calling to settle down
for life. She has retired, as it were, and
with her husband, Danny Nugent, has
gone to Dayton, o., where she owns a
comfortable home.
The occasion of Minnie's departure
from Chicago will be remembered for
years to come by her companions. few
nights ago she gave farewell banquet,
at which all the lights of her set were
present. The next day she and Danny
who, by the way, is one of the "best'
diamond thieves in the country, left for
their Ohio home. There they intend Ito
spend the remainder of Uheirli lives in ease
and luxury
1t is estimated that in the last ten years
Minnie May has stolen to the value of
upward of 100000 Some policemen
put the amount as high as S20O,O 900. At
any rate, she has laid enough by to keep
her and Danny without further ado as
long as they live.
Minnie May is sstill a young woman
She is not more than % years old. The
last ten years she has lived in Chicago,
and during that time she has been arrest
ed more than !, coo times forrobbery and
disorderly conduct. She has been called
'sthe Ewickedest woman in the world"
but there is often doubt expressed as to
the applicability Of this term.
Minnie May was born on farm near
Milwaukee. Hersmother still lives on
the old homestead.

The two children. who were on their
way home from Marietta street public
school, where the Rhodes trestle
in the yards of the Southern
railway when they were run down
by a wild freight car. They had
taken the route through the railroad
yards as a short cut, the trestle where
the accident occurred being in sight Of
their home.
In switching a train three cars had be-
come detached and We're running wild
down sharp grade towards the trestle.
The brakeman succeeded in stopping two
Of them, but the foremost one was with
out brakes and could not be controlled.
Young Adams and his sister saw the
car bearing down on them when they
were in the middle of the trestle which
is a high one. They tried to reach the
end, but soon saw that they would be
unable to do so before the car came
upon them. The boy tried to get his sis
ter over the side of the tres
tie to escape and in doing so
lost his own life He could have cleared
the trestle himself by running, but he
would not leave his sister TO her horrible
fate.
The car passed over the boys head. al

sister escaped with one leg crushed. II
will have to be amputated, but her life
may be saved. The boy was instantly
killed. When being carried away, the lit
