SHE NEVER SMILED AGAIN,
Got Her Jaw Into Position and She
Knew Better.
Chicago Daily Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean
Miss Brown of 81 Diversey street threw
back her head and opened her mouth wide
in a hearty laugh. When she tried to re-
gain her normal cast OF countenance she
was unable to close her jaws. A physician
had to be sent for to end the laugh by re-
adjusting the lady's Jaws.
She attended a party Saturday evening.
and when she started home several of her
friends accompanied her. One of the num-
bee told a story he said he had read some
where. 1t was TIE report of a converse
ton overheard in police court, and ran:
ofticer-What are you charged with,
young man?
Judge Qmpatiently)-Office what is this
man charged with?
officer-Oi tink, your honor, he is charged
with soda water.
Everybody laughed heartily, but Miss
Brown worked overtime.
Her merry "Ha! har' turned into a
scream. Her mouth was wide open, and II
stayed that way. The merrymaker,s were
IN a panic. 1t looked as though Miss
Brown was being tickled TO death One of
the young men attempted to force the re-
fractory jaws together, but was stopped
by the warning:
Danny, Danny, you'll break her face"
A doctor was called when the amateur
efforts failed. He diagnosed the case nv
telling the young lady the laugh was on
her. In the excess of mrth her lower law
had become dislocated. This was easily
riGhted by the doctor without recourse 10
laughing gas or anything other than dex-
ferrous twist Of the wrist Miss Brown
went on her way rejoicing, but not laugh
ing All the way to her home the funny
young man who had caused the disturb
ance told other stories he had read EVERY
body, in fact, tried to cheer up Miss
Brown. But she never smiled and il was
with jaws tightly held together that she
SAID good night to her friends through her
closed teeth.

A STORY FROM TEXAS
How Smart Hen Can Be i'm Tint
State.

From the Philadelphia Times
j. c. Wheaton of Texas has some very
fine breeds of chickens which he raises for
market. While most of his poultry is all of
the darker breeds, he recently imported a
fine pair of white Brahmas, which in due
course presented him with sixteen chicks
Last week these little fellows were lust
good flying size, and were ready prey for
hawks, their white feathers cleaning in
the sun and making them visible from affair
In fact, in spite of Wheaton's efforts the
hawks made away with six of the young
Bra hmas.
One morning, however, after the remain
ing ten had been duly accounted for the
night before. Wheaton was surprised, on
going to the poultry yard, to see not one
single white chicken. The Brahma cock
ana hen were there all right enough hut
instead OF their own snowy little ones ten
tedraegled, Cast-off looking black chicks
peeped at their heels For a long time
Wheaton could not imagine what was the
matter, but, by and by. concluded that the
little Brahmas had gotten I'm the SCOT box
~ accident, and that they were still on
hand though somewhat discolored
That night, however he discovered that
what he had attributed TO error had been
done deliberately aud with wise intent.
Before the old Brahma would let her little
ones tuck in for the night she made them
mp and sputter in the big chicken trough
by the well This done, she led the way 10
an old stove pipe under the woodshed. and
made every last chick of them pass
through the pipe, wiping off the SCOT as he
went OF course, il stuck TO their wet
feathers, and the little fellows came ont
perfect black-a-moors. The old hen cir
cumvented the hawks, however. Her little
Lrood runs about as gay as you please now,
ana not one has disappeared since she

VENETIAN GLASS.
Some Phases of the Revival of nm
Ancient Industry

Some Phases of the Revival of nm
Ancient Industry.
From the London Globe.
Among the lagoons, nearly due north of
Venice, in the Island Of Murano. there live
race of men who seem to have a srast
future. They are the descendants of the
old Venetian glassworkers, and of late
years they have been reviving the ancient
art, which made Murano famous in the
past. Of glassblowing.
The old Venetian glass was what is COM
monty called blown, but the name gives a
very small idea of the manufacture. Glass
has certain characteristics which give it
its true beauty and value for art purposes.
and though you may neglect these and
Torce 1t to take forms utterly foreign to its
nature, you are producing not works of
art, but morstrosities. Whatever glass
may be, it Is in it's natural state not crys-
tallfne, SO that nature is outraged when
we grind 1t into sharp angular forms that
belong rather to other materials. The old
Venetian glass was light, bright vitreous
in appearance, and stained with the richest
possible colors, and all these Qualities are
retained in the newly revived manufacture
at Murano. There is one more strong
point in favor Of glass blown and worked
ever than molded-namely, that every in
dividual piece is an original work of human
art, and as it is almost impossible that
any two should be exactly alike, unless
their form Is very simple indeed, the buyer
chooses according to his fancy, and is sure
that no one else, possesses piece of ex-
actly the same size and shape In the
manufacture of the ordinary cut glass
minimum Ted Lead is frequently added to
increase its brightness, but this DESTROYS
at once the characteristic Hghtness and.
causing 1t to cool more rapidly, quite pre-
vents the possibility of working 1t in the
proper ductile and malleable condition.
The Murano material is worked as the an
Gent Venetian glass made on the same
island used to be. and all the old methods
have been discovered, or at least the same
effects have been produced.

1T WAS NOT A CAT.
Lawyer Smiths Flying Boot Knocked
the Crook Of High Roof.

the Crook Of II High Roof.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
When Lawyer Smith threw his old boot
at a miaou in the dead waste and middle
of the night and brought a burglar tum-
bling down fifty feet into a pile of superfiu-
Gus coal oil cans, the effect on Mrs
Browns boarding house was unexpected
1t all happened a little before o'clock on
Sunday morning at the boarding house of
Mrs. NJ. E. Brown, 1884 Pine street Will
lam Sanborn was the burglar who was
fetched off his perch by Z. D. Smiths
deadly boot He had crawled along a glass
roof in the rear Of Mrs. Browns house to
reach one of the windows. Smith heard
him crawling on the roof, and at once con-
cluded that the thing was one of the I'M
necessary cats that have been serenading
him with perseverance and regularity. He
threw up his window.
'Scat!'
'M-i-a-o-u." said the burglar, to encour-
age Smith in his belief.
Now, Smith knew he was loaded for cats.
He had been storing an old boot under his
bed for just such occasion. With one
mighty swing, away went the boot. Then
came the rattle, the bumpity-bump-bump
and the final crash among the coal oil cans
fifty feet below.
coed Lord, what an extraordinary cat-'
calculated Smith. In an instant the corri-
doris Of the boarding house were filled with
women. Was it an earthquake or the
crack of doom? Smith was blowing his po-
lice whistle with industry and promoting
the disturbance. Some of the ladies faint
ed. Smith kept on blowing. Never a boot
before in this wide world had produced
such variety OF unexpected noises.
The noise made by the fall was sufficient
to awe ken all the guests in Mrs Browns
house. The men got out their pistols, and,
headed by Smith, who had got through
blowing his whistle, they marched to the
back yard to find out what the boot had
brought down.
With the aid of a lantern they found the
burglar lying among the cans
you've got a hard face" said Smith.
That's right; kick a fellow when he's
down." returned SaEborn.
Sanborn was taken tc the receiving hos
pital to have his wounds dressed. His face
and neck were badly cut, his right leg was
broken and his left wrist fractured. The
doctors say that the man had miracu-
lous escape from death, and marvel that
he was lot killed.

ACCIDENT TO THE INDIANA.
The WarshIp's Docking at Port Royal
TO he Delayed.

Washington, March "a dispatch re-
ceived at the navy department this after
noon reported that the battleship Indiana
had met with a slight accident to her
machinery to-day while leaving Hampton
Roads for Port Royal. s. c.. which would
prevent her from being doclSed at that
place on Thursday next. The accident
consisted In the bending of her valve stem
and several days VIII be required to make
repairs. There Is much disappointment
over the delay at the navy department, as
the high tides necessary at Port Royal to
allow the Indiana to go into the dock will
not be again available for some time and
the docking may be further postponed
The government dry dock at Port Royal
is the largest of its kind in this country
and naval officers have looked forward
with much interest to placing in 1t the
Indiana, the largest warship in our navy
The docking is in the nature Of a test, but
officials of the navy department are con-
fident that the Indiana can be PLACED in
the basin successfully without Injury to

The Bodies Dumped Into the Alley
From n Medical College.

Chicago. March 9.-The bodies Of the man
and infant found in an alley last night a.
Forty-eighth street and Indiana avenue
in horribly mutilated condition have been
identified. There was no murder. as was
supposed. but the bodies were dumped into
the alley by a medical colleg TO save the
expense OF burial. The man was Edward
Cummings. n years old who has a wife
and son living at No. 3l3 Fortieth street.
He had not lived with his family for the
past year, however, and died In the poor
house. His body was bought by the Her
ing Medical College, No. College Place,
for disSecting purposes. The infant was
the child of Mrs. John Mcdonald. wife OF
a painter. II Is claimed that the infant
was born deformed and lived only ten
days, and that II was given TO the college
in the interest OF science.
The disposing OF the bodies was done by
Mrs. Eliza Shirra, matron of the college
She induced George Citizen, a negro to
undertake the job by giving him S. The
negro was told to throw the barrel con-
tanning the bodies into the lake. or 10 dis
pose of them I'm any way he saw fit SC
long as he took them away from the col
lege.
The only excuse Mrs. Shirra gives for
the disposition of the bodies in this man
ner Is that II would cost SIS to bury them
and the students could not AFFORD the
expense. The city authorities will bt
asked to decide II the negro and woman
can be prosecuted for anything other thar
violating the health ordinance.

London, March 9.-The Constantinople

that the American donations are barely
keeping alive 5000 of the Armenian suf-
ferers at Marash. The allotment to each
person is only pence weekly. The lead
ing men of the place are still in prison.
The correspondent describes their tor
lures and sufferings, which were suspend
ed when the conSulS thronged to Zei-
foun. but which were renewed after they
had left. Refugees from Zeitoun are spe-
ciaily victimized by the Turks.

The situation at Aintab was never more
homeless than it is now. The governor tells
the Christians that their only chance Of
security is to abandon their religion and
become Moslems. Most of the Christians
in the villages north and east of Aintab
have foresworn their faith. Four thous-
and persons are in absolutely destitute
condition and they must all perish unless

Atlanta, Ca, March 9.-There was a
lively rumor In circulation in the city this
morning to the effect that the Southern
Railway Company was making overtures
for the purchase of the lease Of the West

The rumor created a sensation I'm rail-

to give foundation for IL. The report,
however was denied by all the local ofn-

Another Hostile DemOnstra tiOn
Made at BiIbOa.

huue AT BtlDOn.
Madrid, March 9.-Quiet prevailed in
the city of Valencia to-day. More arrests
were made of persons who took part in
yesterdays riotous demonstrations.
At Bilboa the manifestations against the
United States were resumed to-day. A
large crowd of rioters proceeded to the
American consulate and stoned the gem
darmes who were guarding the building.
Nine or the guards were quite severely IN
Jured. ReinfOrcements were hurriedly dis
patched to the consulate, and upon their
arrival a charge was made upon the mob,
which was quickly dispersed. A score of
the rioters were wounded by the gan
darmes and six were arrested.
The Heraldo says that the Hon. Hannis
Taylor, the American minister, is about 10
send his family away from Madrid. Their
baggage, the paper adds, was taken to the
railway station to-day.
The students at Salamanca paraded the
streets to-day hooting and making other
noisy demonstrations against the United
States. The governor tried to pacify them,
but his efforts were in vain. The crowd
stoned the gendarmes and finally dispers-
ed of their own accord, after burning an
American flag. During the riotous pro-
ceedings several persons were injured.
The anti-Amerioan riot at Bilbao last
night proves to have been more violent
than at first anticipated. A mob num-
bering about 1000 persons, first stoned the
private residence of the United States con-
SUI. Dfeaklng the WlnuoWS OF the DuilulnB
and then proceeded to the consulate,
shouting: Death to the yankee" down
with the United States" and other anti
American cries On arriving at the con-
sulate, the crowd attempted to tear down
the escutcheon which was fixed over the
door, but were repelled by the gendarmes,
who were guarding the consulate. A
fight ensued between the mob and police,
in which sticks, stones, knives, etc, were
freely used. Three gendarmes were in
jured, and a number of the mob were
hurt. The police succeeded in dispers-
ing the crowd at midnight.
