VALUE OF TRIPLES IN HISTORY.
Results OF Incidents In Careers OF Well
Known People.

Thorwaldscn, the great Dutch sculptor,
after working for moro than four months
unrecognizcd IN Rome, determined in de-
spair TO return home and lay down the
sculptor's chiscl forever. A chance error
by careless clerk in drawing his passport
detained him "a hours. During that in
terval of waiting Mr.. Hope walked into
the studio, admired his ".Jason' in CLAW and
aroused the desponding Danes hope by
ordering copy in marble.
Thorwaldscn unpacked his tools and
never afterward in his long career lacked
patronage.

Bonaparte's Horrible Suggestion.

AS votary at the shrine Of science Ma
poleon believed in the lawfulness of sui
cidc and he now coldly suggested murder
to his surgeon general, limiting that an
overdose of opium would end the suffer-
ings of those plague stricken men who
would have to be abandoned. 1t was long
believed that such dose actually had
been administered to the so or more who
were left behind. But the conclusive evil
dence that the report was false is in the
fact that when Sir Sidney Smith occupied
Yafa the sufferers were still alive. Napo-
leon to the last defended the suggestion as
proper, though he falsely denied having
made it himself and untruthfully declared
at St. Helena that he had delayed three
days to protect the dying patients. With
cynical good nature, he told the fine story
of how the noble French physician Des-
genettes (who, in spite of his conviction
that the plague was contagious, had al
ready inoculated himself with the disease
in order to allay the panic of the terror
stricken soldiers) had rejected the criminal
suggestion, replying that physicians
profession was to save, not to destroy, hui
man life.-Profcssor Sloane's Life of Ma

A NEGRO'S DEADLY PERIL
Identified by a White Woman as Her
Outrager
Crowds Are Collecting at Lexington to Do
the Brute to Death for
His Crime

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 16.-Last
Wednesday Mrs. Mary Hudson. wife of a
prominent farmer. was outraged by ne
gro. 1hs woman's screams attracted the
men from the fields. They found Mrs.
Hudson unconscious and the negro hau
fed. The country was secured by hun
dreds of armed men and bloc dhounds and
that night Henry Mitchell Smith was
caught. He has been held in Jail ever
since. Tonight Airs. Hudson positively
identified Smith. This caused great ex-
element and strong guard was placed
around the Jail. but could not prevent a
larre crowd from assembling at the jail
and they rem aimed there all night. The
crowd was orderly but determined. Noth-
ing will probably be done until near
morning when the crowd comes in from
Payne station where Mrs. Hudson lives.
About $50 armed men are getting ready
there for the march on the Jail in this
city. There are many armed men here
determined to prevent lynching il they
possibly can, but the visitors can get hslp
here as we'll as resistance. After mid
night the crowd still remains near the
Jail and the neighbors OF Mrs. Hudson
are known to be coming.
Two men just arrived from the neigh
borhood of the crime say the people theirs
expect to lee the law take its course. This
is thought to be a ruse and it is feared an
effort will be made to take the negro from
the conrt room at the examining tiial to-
morrow. A strong guard will be estab-
lished at the court room and all who en-
ter will be searched for concealed weap-
ons.

PARIS CHURCH BELLS.
When They Are Rung and In What Ws
Old Fashioned Manner.


The ringing of the church bells in Paris
whether upon religious or civic occasions,
is regulated not by the church authorities,
but by those of the lay or municipal gov.
ernment Tho mayor of each arrondisse-
ment has the right to make use of the bells
of his precinct on certain specified occa-
sions, within tho restrictions of the gener-
al ministerial edict controlling both the
religious and the civil ringings. The &C.
clesiastical authorities are not permitted
to ring their bells before o'clock in the
morning or after 9 in the evening from
Easter to the 31st of October; nor before 5
in the morning or after 8 in the evening
from Nov. to Easter. The only excep-
tion to this rule is Christmas night
However, owing not so much to these
restrictions as to tho cost of ringing the
bells, particularly the chimes, these are not
heard nearly SO often or SO generally in
Paris as in some other capitals, notably
Rome, and when the Parisian chimes do
sound, they are not always to be commend
cd for tune and time. This, in its turn,
may be attributed to the old fashioned
method of hanging and ringing the bell.
Of Saint Sulpice.
These bells are not rung by means OF
ropes and levers, as is the modern GUS
tom. They are so balanced on their hang
ings that even the largest can be set swing
ing by direct application Of man force,
and with such vivacity of motion that the
clapper strikes with sharp regularity then
Immediately rebounds without dcadening
the vibration of sound. The largest bell of
Saint Sulpice weighs 5000 kilos, or up
ward Of $4,000 pounds, and requires four
men to ring it. The great bourbon of
Notre Dame weighs 10000 kilos and re-
quires eight men.--Paris l. ILLUSTRATION.

term IN the county Jail for vagrancy.
Harris had been living with woman
known as Mrs. Ramirez, VINO was soon
after sent to jail on a similar charge.
They had two children, both boys, one
belonging to Harris and the other to the
woman. These children were intrusted
to the tender care of W. Carpenter, a
friend of Harris.
Whether tie new guardian did not un-
derstand the care of young ones. or will
fully neglected them, is not known, but
at all events they were allowed to roam
the streets and made to generally shift
for themselves. Justice Patterson Of San
Pedro finally took the matter in hand
and sent the children to the humane
officer.
Mr.. Hutchins succeeded in securing
homes for them. A few days ago Harris
came ana asked where the children
were, saying that he would like to have
them again. He was told that the so
cety would not relinquish the guardian
ship unless he showed he was suitable
person to have them and also able to con-
tribute to their support. The way he
could show the former qualification was
by marrying the woman he had been
living with, and the latter was to get the
signatures of several reputable citizens
uf San Pedro to a paper Stating that they
believed he would maintain the children.
Harris and the woman Stated that they
would be married tomorrow. Mr.. Hutch
ins very wisely refrained, however, from
telling where the boys were.
Yesterday the Ramirez woman was
brought to the police station in state
of beastly intoXcation, and will be made
to serve out her sentence. 1t is under
stood that the man was also drunk, but he
was not arrested. This debauch showed
the true nature of the pair, and it is not
likely that they will be given the child
ren.

1.-THE NEW MAN."
Rev. Anna Shaw Says He Is to BE Fit
Maze For the New Woman.

Rev. Anna Shaw Says He Is to Be q Fit
Mate For the New Woman.
The Rev. Anna Shaw lectured recently
in Philadelphia on "The New Man." and
she drew rosy picture of that individual
without, however, telling when he was to
make his appearance on earth or how the
present masculine was to be reformed into
the creature she depicted.
Miss Shaw predicted that the new man
would neither smoke, drink, swear nor
gamble. He will do mono Of these things
because "he will be pre- eminently man
in tie development of his physical organ
ism, and will indulge in nothing that will
degrade his bodily development"
Miss Shaw had seen it written that q
man should not smoke until he was 80
years of age. If the new man follows this
rule, she thought that at that age he would
be married to the new woman, and that
assertive female would then SEQ that he
never INDUCED in the weed. AS the result
of this abstemiousness Miss Shaw foresaw
an increase in the stature of the race
"Thcre will be giants in those days" The
new man "may be champion batter or
even a football player, but he will in
dulge in these sports entirely as pastime
and during seasonable hours. AS log
ical consequence professional mines will
become thing of the past, and the heavy
hittcrs of today will be known only as
myths. Miss Shaw was very earnest on
this point and scoffed at the idea Of pay
ing men more to play baseball than to
work.
The new man is not to be an effominate
creature He is to be "a fit mate for the
new woman" He is also to be intellectu-
al, but mot from tho mere study of
books" His mind will be legal one, and
he shall judge accurately between right
and wrong, even when a woman is con-
cerned. This athletic, football playing in
dividual with the legal mind is also to be
well developed morally. Not that the
world will be absolutely pure, but he will
be able to walk in the midst of temptation
without being affected any more than
vaccinatcd man is physically who walks
through a smallpox hospital" He will be
"a moral influence for virtue and go side
by side with the new woman, clasping her
hand with "a hand as pure as hers
The new man will also be religious, al
though he will pay more attention to his
life than he will to creed. He is to be
manly man, but tender true and loving.
His intercourse with man is to be that of
brother with brother. He is also going to
be a brother to the new woman Miss
Shaw intimatcd that the sisterly racket on
the part of the young women should be
offset by something of the sort she indi
Gates. The new man in business life is
going to be benefited by the new business
woman. He will no longer have to spend
money in buying cigars and drinks in or
der to close his bargains, for the female
drummer will do away with such meth
