DETROIT. Mich, Feb. 11.-Ismena T.
Martin, who, dispatches say, is wanted in
Denver for forgery and other ofenses,
has had remarkable career for so
young woman. She is not more than
20 years old, and began to get into public
notice at her home here about four years
ago. Various blackmail schemes on
prominent men were worked with sue
cess, but things finally became SO warm
that she had to leave town.
She next appeared in Cleveland where
she raised considerable money by falsely
impersonating Mrs Frank Leslie and
Kate Field Then she fed to New York
and was sentenced to prison for a black
mailing scheme, but pardoned shortly
afterward owing to her youth. About a
year ago she returned home and began
the publication of weekly paper. She

She Found a Way,

The wife of a gentleman living on
the west side has recently opened a
bank account much to her delight. Her
husband has been in the habit of indors-
ing over to her small checks that he re-
ceived in his business and which in the
course of a few days would accumulate
into fair deposit. The bank where the
account is kept is some distance from
the house, so, at the husbands sugges-
ton, the wife has been in the habit Of
mailing the checks The other day,
however, her husband gave her $50 in
small bills, and after expressing her
surprise and qualification she exclaimed:
Dear me, | almost wish you had
given it to me in checks. I can't send
all this money by mail. -
Her preoccupied better half thought
no more about the matter until the next
day, when it occurred to him to ask his
wife if she had found time to go to the
bank and leave the money.

4 FORMAL PROPOSITION.
Pacific Railroads Offer to Pay the Princi-
pal of Their Debt.


pal of Their Debt.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on Pacific railroads gave a
hearing today to representatives of the
companies. E. Ellery Anderson, re-
ceiver and government director of the
Union Pacific, A A. H. Boise
vane, who represents large foreign
holders of the same company,
and c. H. Tweed of the Central Pacific
presented the proposition of the corpora
tons to settle their government debts by
the payment of principal thereon, an
arrangement by which the Union Pacific
would pay the United States about
| $50 100000 and the Central
Pacific about 27,5O000O Rep
resentatives of large interests
in New York City have communicated
with Chairman Reilly, among them Pres
ident Fitzgerald of the Mercantile Trust
company and J. P. Morgan, a member of
the reorganization committee whose dis
patches were read today asserting that
bill authorizing the secretary of the
of the principal of the Union
Pacific debt in full satisfaction of all
claims upon it would be accepted and
carried out by the company. The prop
osition was formally made by Mr.. Roise-
vain for the Union Pacific today. Mr..
Anderson said that the recommittal
of the Reilly bill by the
house without action. and the fail
ure of congress to give the executive
branch of the country any instructions
as to the protection of government inter
ests left the whole matter in a very IN
satisfactory condition.
The Central Pacific representative. Mr..
Tweed, was not prepared to make the
same proposition in behalf of that COM
pany, but said that if the parties
who might advance the principal of the
debt could be protected by holding the
government lien as security for their ad-
vances, the same terms could be carried
out by the Central Pacific. Such securi-
ty was necessary in his opinion on &C
count of existence of the liens prior to
| the government lien. The resulto of such
plan, he argued. would protect the
government against its obligations to
pap the currency skies.

Hop Beds.

In the good old colony times, and
even later, the hop pillow was pre-
scribed for sleeplessness, and now it
is hop bed which is to cure insom-
MIA, to use the word exhumed from
Plantus to serve the needs of pathol-
ogy. The hop bed is about as com
Portable as the corn husk mattress of
the country farm house, but it is
fondly supposed to bring slumber.
Hops and szips are natural compan-
ions, SO it may be proper to say here
that London doctor introduced skip
ping as a form of exercise especially
adapted to professional women who
have not much time. Imagine COM
pany of teachers, actresses, female
doctors, artists, with a stray female
minister, perhaps, skipping merrily
through public street! Cleopatra's
forty PAGES of hopping would be a
trifie by comparison.

COMPRESSED WOOD.
Practical and Inexpensive Substitute
for Certain Sorts of Hard Wood.

a Practical and Inexpensive Substitute
for Certain Sorts of Hard Wood.
The advance in the price of some of
the hard woods required III various
special bra inches of trade has directed
attention to the possibility of produc-
ing some less expensive material as a
substitute, and in one branch of trade
this has been carried out with very
successful results. For the manu-
facture of loom shuttles lockwood has
hitherto be very largely used but
the price of this kind of wood has be-
come almost prohibitive, and it has
been found that by compression of
cheaper classes of timber teak being
about the most suita BILE for this pur-
pOse-a substitute meeting all the re-
quirements can be obtained. For
carrying out this purpose a
Manchester firm has just COM
pleted powerful hydraulic
press to be used in COMPRISING
timber for loom shuttles. The press
consists of strong cast iron top and
bottom, with four steel columns and
a steel cylinder, with large ram. In
the center of this ram is fitted sim
liar one, with rectangular head, fit
ting into a die which is placed on the
top of the large ram. The timber is
put into this die, and pressure of
fourteen tons per square inch is APP
piled. The pressure is then relieved,
and the large ram descends. The top
pressure block, which fits the die, is
then removed, and the small ram,
rising, pushes the timber out at the
top of the die. The timber SO treated
is made very dense and uniform, and
so close grained that it is capable of
taking a very high finish. For the
manufacture of shuttles it has been
found as good as lockwood. and there
is no doubt it will be applied to other
branches of industry where expen-
sive hard woods have to be used.
