INsAND LOVE FOR A STRANoER.-The
rather remarkable circumstances of q
case of mental disorder existing in g
woman who was a guest at Creighton's
Hotel, Highland Beach, N. j., have just
become public. The central figure In the
story is Mrs. Anna Hoyt, of Ridgeield,
Ct, whose husband is a wealthy man,
and who has rich relatives in New
York city. The woman is also rich in
her " right.
Several days ago Mrs. Hoyt, accom-
panied by Miss Anna Main and q maid,
arrived at the hotel and engaged the
best apartments obtaiDabie. After the
women had been made comfortable ct
the hotel, they walked into the parlor,
where a Mr.. Hall, living in Railway,
was playing the piano and entertaining
a number of friends. AS soon as Mrs.
Hoyt saw Mr.. Hall she ran to him,
throwing her arms around his neck and
kissing him rspturously. She called
him "Willie," although that is not be-
lieved to be his christian name. and
told him that she loved i'm desper-
ately. At FIRST it was thought that the
woman was under the influence of
liquor or a drug Of some sort, and Mr..
Hall repulsed her advances, but all to
no purpose. Mrs. Hoyt persisted in
loving and caressing him, to the as
topishment of the other guests, who
concluded that the woman was mentally
unbalanced.
Miss Main, the maid and the pro-
prietor Of the hotel at last succeeded in
inducing Mrs. Hoyt to go to her room,
but after she got there she pleaded 30
piteously for her "Willien that Mr..
Hall was requested to 60 to her DOM
and remain with her and her friends a
greater portion of the night. In the
morning. the remarkable attentions Of
the woman to Mr.. Hall were renewed,
and the thing became ~monotonous.
DR.. HeDdrickson, Of Atlantic High
lands, N. J., was called in, and said
that the woman was suffering from
q mental disorder. While all hands
were celebrating as to what should be
done, Mrs. Hoyt violently demanded
that she be taken to "Willie's" room.
This unusual request was complied
with, and while there, during the alb
sence of Mr.. Hall, she searched his va
lise, and, finding his razor, attempted
to cut her throat.
On Saturday Mrs. Hoyt became al
most uncomfortable, so a blackboard
wagon was procured, and she was driy-
en- to Freehold. There the womau was
locked up in a private room in the Jail.

Thought He Saw the Joke.

They were talking of monographs.

old farmer the other day." said the
commercial traveller.
Interest always attaches to the do

mented the Englishnan, hitching up
his chair with look of interest.
"He had just driven into town with
his mules to sell load of pumpkins,
and he stopped in front of the phono-
graph store.
"'What air them fellows doin in
there with spouts in their ears?' he ask
ed
"tThose are talking machines, an
swered man in the doorway.
''The farmer was little incredulous,
but he finally left his mules and went
into the store. The tubes were placed
in his ears, he dropped the nickel in the
slot and brass band began to play.
Whoa thereP shouted the rustic,
darting out of the store. Them mules O.
mine won't stand no brass band. "
At first the Englishman looked anx-
ious, as if he expected to hear the rest
of the story. Then suddenly he burst
out laughing.
"Great joke on the mules, eh?" he
shouted. Chicago Record.

ACCIDENT ON THEST. PAUL.
Five Men Dead and Six Badly Sca1ded
Oh the Steamship St. Paul.


New YORK. Dec 16.-Five men were
killed and six injured this morning by
the explosion of a steam pipe on the
American line steamship St. Paul.
At the time of the accident, shortly
after o'clock, there were thirty men of
the crew in the fire room and ten in the
engine room
The main steam pipe, which ia sixteen
inches in diameter, runs from the engine
to the fire room.
The accident is believed to have been
due to flaw in the pipe.
Preparations were being made for the
sailing of the vessel at II o'clock, but
fortunately none of the passengers were
aboard of the vessel. The explosion was
of terrific force and shook the vessel
from stem to stern.
Above the noise of the escap-
ing steam could be heard, the cries of
the men who had been at work in the en-
CINE room injured by the explosion.
AS quickly as possible the steam was
turned of. Four half dead men scram-
bled up the iron stairway leading from
The engine room and fell PROSTATE upon
the port side of the vessel.
Two other men terribly scalded. were
found in an almost unconscious condition
lying near the bottom of the stairway.
Five men were found lying in various
parts of the compartment dead. They
had all been scalded to death and their
faces and those parts of the body which
were not covered by their clothing look
ed as if they had been parboiled. The
steamer will be delayed week.

satin very richly brocaded in silver in
an enormous design. There was sort
of stomacher front of the same brocade
and around the waist there was bias
roll of the striped silk, and this was
brought down to sharp point. The
sleeves consisted of one very full puff of
the striped silk, with big fluffy bows of
white tulle at the elbows. The stomach
err was square across the front, making
a pompadour neck Around the back of
the neck there was a wide double box
plating OF white satin, covered loosely
with tulle, and two puffs extended
down the sides of the stomacher, reach
ing from the collar to the point in front.
and these were made of the tulle.
One white taffeta dress for young
girl had a plated fold of moss green
Grape down each side of the front
breadth, brought into width of about
four inches On that one on the right
was set one Of these bows 10 inches
from the bottom, and the left one had
the bow placed above the knee. The
waist was blouse effect, with a white
satin wrinkled belt, and at the back
was another big bow. The sleeves were
low puffs. Around the neck there was a
simulated yoke, made Of lace and a
twisted puff Of white satin and green
Grape, above which there was putting
Of tulle reaching to the lace that de-
fined the square but high neck. This
gown is intended specially for a very
young lady.
Among the oddities are the new fans.
The most of them are quite small and
more for looks than real use. Some of
them are square and made of fine Grape
of different colors, and these either
edged with lace applique CT delicately
hand painted. White lace fans, with
fine ivory or silver fligree sticks, are
very beautiful Some are made of ex-
quisite point, with medallions left with
out pattern. The lace is then laid over
some delicately colored satin, and that
hand painted. Black lace Of various
qualities is stretched over white Grape
to show its pattern. Feather fans made
to close are often of a very unequal
shape, one end being quite long and the
middle followed in, while the other
end is abous two-thirds the length of
the first.
The richest and most elegant "a1l
over" wrap I have seen this season is a
! long cloak made OF close woven black
English cheviot. The back is cut in
four pieces-two center and two side
| pieces-and it is cut so full that the
back falls in deep folds to the sides.

around them. The muff should match.
This garment is very easy to reproduce.
It requires AZ yards Of so inch cheviot
and yards of farmers satin for lining
aside from any interlining deemed
necessary, and which may easily be
old. The majority of women have an
idea that they cannot do anything with
fur, and they pay all sorts of prices to
furriers. Fox and raccoon skins can be
purchased really very cheaply. Itwould
require three raccoon skins to trim this
garment. A pattern can be cut or pur-
