A Maniac Bride,

ELKHART. Ind, Dec. 21.-Frank
Perry and Frances Conley, the daugh-
ter of wealthy parents, after a court
ship of four years, elopea last Sunday
because of parental objections. Yes
terday the young bride became raw
ing maniac, and was prevented from
killing herself only by the herculean
efforts of her husband. She attempted
To throw herself from the third story
of the St. Joseph Valley bank build-
ing. Her hallucination is that her
parents would reproach her and that
She would not become heir to her faith
er's estate. Her cries brought thous-
and people to the bank building, where
Mrs. Perry hung tow-thirds out of the
window, making frantic efforts to cast
herself to the payment. Perry IN an
instant grasped her about the body and
for several minutes the struggle for
mastery was witnessed by the horror
stricken throng. When assistance
came. she was saved from horrible
death. The unfortunate woman was
taken to the house of her parents, she
partially recovered her senses but
there is little hope that she will be
sane again.

TROUBLE IN HIGH LIFE.
The Grandson of Sir Robert Peel Criticised
For Counting Newspaper Notoriety.

The Grandson of Sir Robert Peel Criticised
For Counting Newspaper Notoriety.
"Bobby" Peel, about as we'll known
q young fellow about town as London
ever produced, has come over here with
the avowed determination to marry Miss
Kittie Sanford, the daughte= Of the
Adams Express Sanfords, who are Of
course awfully rich.
These are the same Sanfords whose
action ruined John Hoey, and who have
pursued the remnants of his estate with
singular persistency.
Young Bobby Peel's ambition is
very laudable one as Miss Sanford is
very pretty and accomplished girl and
an heiress to boot, and better than all
has evinced very decided partially
for Mr.. Peel.
At the same time many old fashioned
people will object to the methods en-
ployed by Peel to overcome the opposi
tion Of Miss Sanford's family.
He has taken the newspapers into his
confidence and makes long statements
about his own worthiness and undyinsg,
love and calls his sought after relatives
all kinds of names for denying his suit
1t is doubtful if he would try such
game at home in England.
If young Peel really loves Miss San.
ford as he declares he does lin the news
papers,, it would be more dignifed for
him to keep her name out of public
journals.
Love is passion that needs no adver.
Using, and sweetheart's name is not
the one to be banded about in daily
print.
If young Peel loves Miss Sanford as
much without as with her prospective
fortune, he can elope with her at any
time-provided she is willing.
Love laughs at locks and bars, but
grows cold under newspaper interviews
and long winded statements.
Another alternative also presents It
self to Mr.. Peel.
If he loves Miss Sanford as much as
he says he does Con paperl why cannot
he settle down and do something to
prove his love?
The Sanfords object to him because
he has been q meier do well and has cost
his father lot of money to keep him
going In the society in which he is en-
titled to live.
But by all odds my advice to Bobby
is to keep out of the newspapers.
1t would be simply horrible If he
published some Of Miss Sanford's let.
tiers to prove how she loves him. Vel
he seemed to be just on the verge OF
such insanity yesterday. - Charley

A FEMALE FLOGGER.
second Exposure of Brutality For Which
England Has No Law.

second Exposure OF Brutality For Which
England Has No Law.
Mr.. Labouchere has been compelled
again to expose horrible scandal, which
there is no law in England to suppress.
1t is the work Of professional foggers Of
girls, boys and men. The establishment
of the woman who advertises her sarv-
ices at terms from 8 shillings is described
in Truth as the result Of call by pros
pective clients. The fogger showed what
she frankly called the torture room.
There is an iron bedstead, on which, she
explained, the victim is extended across
a'pillow. On either side are straps in
tended to meet across the body and hold
the victim down, while the arms and
legs are fastened to the four legs .of-the
bedstead by contrivances like handouts
Gigs and pads used to stitie the cries Of
the victim were also produced, the pads
being used for the young girls who are
liable to bite their lips under the tor
ture, and thus disfgure themselves per-
manently.
Among the instruments of f1agellation
exhibited by the woman were two cat o.
nine tails. one consisting Of thongs of
leather and the other of knotted cord,
about Is inches long, There was also a
cat made of leather strap slit into
strips about foot long. Birches of or
binary pattern were also produced, these
being preserved in brine to keep them
supple. The logger explained that she
no longer received children at her house,
but treated them at their own homes,
taking her appliances with her. The
torture room was reserved for big girls
and adults.
The last time Mr.. Labouchere ex-
posed this interesting industry he found
it impossible to check it by law. The
neighbors, however, made the place SO
hot for the fogger that she had to move
several times. Her latest address is
printed in Truth with the suggestion
that the same remedy be applied again.
