HOWGkTe CONVICTED
And is Liable TO Imprisonment from Two to
Twsn.y Years.

Washington. June 21.-The jury in the
Howgate case brought in a verdict of
guilty on each Indictment at 1876. One
indict nent charged Howgate with forgery
and the other with a Justification Of his
official accounts.
The penalty for the offence of which
Captain Howgate is convicted is imprison-
ment in the penitentiary from one to 10
years in each case, SO that the punishment
in his case may he confinement for from
two to 20 years. 1t is hardly believed that
Judge McComas will grant a new trial
and an attempt will be made to take the
case to a higher court on appeal.
During tho preceding trial which re-
suited In acquittal testimony was admit
ted going to show that Captain Howgate
was seen many times by those supposed
to be interested in his apprehension, but
in this case the court refused to admit
testimony to refute the charge that the
prisoner was fugitive from justice.
Captain Howgate spent last night in
jail, he having given himself up to the
court officials as soon as the case went to
this jury. The verdict was surprise as
an acquittal was confidently expected.

STORY OF DE FOES LIFE.
One of the Most Versatile and Catholic
Figures In English Literature.


Men regard with admiring wonder the
career of Napoleon, a Bismarck, Glad
stone, an Agassiz or an Edison, but they
do not seem to realize what can be done by
concentrated and persistent human will,
power and energy.
A recently published biography of Dan
lei De Foe is the story of the life of man
who made his mark as merchant, man.
ufacturer, traveller, politician, polemic,
journalist, poet, satirist and novelist. This
restlessly active and energetic mortal left
more than $50 printed works, and two of
them by common consent, are master
pieces of literature that will last as long
as the English language is spoken
His was checkered career-now the IA
vorite of one ministry, disgraced and pun
ished by another like a common criminal,
the master one day of a princely mansion
and hiding from his creditors the next.
According to his own statement, De Foe
was in his lifetime "13 times rich and
poor" record not approached by any
great specuiator of our day. Sometimes
we hear of man who has made three for
tunes, but we rarely ever hear of man
who has gone beyond that limit, and GER
tainly no man of this generation has been
10 times rich and poor, fortunate and I'M
fortunate in politics, and the author of $50
books, besides showing ability as manu-
facturer, merchant, traveller, polemic, jour
nalist, poet, satirist and novelist.
Talking about versatility, De Foe beats
them all The mere outlines of such ca
reer should encourage and stimulate those
who complain that they are hampered by
circumstances. If De Foe could do what he
did, cannot the average man of pluck, en-.
ergy and determination accomplish at
least one fourth as much?-Dublin Times

a writer in Vogue-a man, too Dy the
wav-scrves up the matter OF family po-
Iitcness In the following piquant fashion:
r. T. not altogether just, and yet there
e nnfortunately enough truth in 1t to make
n ! matter OF regret that such state OF
THINGS should exist. He says:
..The obligation to be agreeable Is not
onnarently classed among the 'oughts' OF
nasculine behavior, the result being that,
a. q sex. men lack graciousness OF demean-
or There are few women of any social
nretensions but recognize the Importance
and desirability Of making themselves gen.
orally agreeable, and however far they may
fall short of being really entertaining
women at least make the effort to be COM
panionablc.
1.-THE most usual examples of the un-
likeness of the sexes in this regard Is fur
nished by wives and husbands in their de-
meanor toward one another. Man does
not conceive it to be any part OF the nus
bands duty to be entertaining to his wife.
He may supply her with opportunities for
pleasant experiences-the play, opera, nos
pitality, travcl-but that he is under any
obligation to make himself companionable
or to respond to his wife's efforts to enter
tain him docs not suggest itself to the
masculine mind.
"Nothing is more common in all grades
of society than the spectacle of the husband
treating with rudeness of speech or gruff-
ness of manner the wife's effort at max
ing conversation in her endeavor to create
an atmosphere of comradeship. Public
conycyanccs, tho theatcr and hotels offer
opportunities for many pathetic studies OF
the difference between the sexes in this re-
gard. The wife essays few reuarks, the
husband answers indifferently or not at
all, thus discouraging all conversational
attempts on her part.
"He would greet with derisive laughter
the idea that he ought to try to entertain
his wife as he would any acquaintance,
man or woman, whom he might meet. 1t
is all traceable to the masculine doctrine
that women were created for mans pleas
ure, and it is part of the very lordly atti-
tude that man has maintained from time
immcmorial until recently, when the ar
rogance of man met its Waterloo in the
self assertiveness of the new woman"

ANCIENT GLASS BLOWING.


Making FOrty centuries ago.
The glass blowers of ancient ThebcS are
known to have been as proficient in that
particular art as is the most scientific
craftsman of the same trade of the present
day, after lapse of 40 centuries of so call
ell progress. They were well acquaint-
ed with the art of staining glass and arc
known to have produced that commodity
in great profusion and perfection. Rossel-
lini gives an illustration Of piece of stain
ed glass known to be 1000 years old which
displayed artistic taste of high ORDER both
in tint and design. In this case the color
is struck through the vitrified structure,
and he mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from one-half to three quarters of an
inch thick, the color being perfectly incor-
porated with the structure of the piece and
exactly the same ON both the diverse and
reverse sides.
The priests of Ptah at Memphis were
adopts in the glassmaker's art, and not
only did they have factories for manufac-
turing the common Crystal variety, but
they had learned the vitrifying Of the diff
erent colors and the initiating of precious
stones to perfection. Their limitations OF
the amethyst and of the various other col
ored gems were so true to ma q Q that even
now, after they have lain in the desert
sands from 1000 to 1000 years, it takes
an expert to distinguish the genuine arti.
Giles from the spurious.
1t las been shown that, besides being ex.
pcrts in glassmaking and glass coloring,
they used the diamond in cutting and en-
craving glass. In tho British museum
there is a beautiful piece of stained glass
with an engraved emblazonment of the
monarch Thothmes III, who lived 3, 400
years ago.-St. Louis Republic.
