MISS FLAGEER,S CASE.

Although there is much exaggerated
and unjustifable talk about the case of
Miss Flagler, there is, unfortunately,
good ground for some Of the talk that
is made. Miss Flagler is the young
woman who was so reckless, or SO IN
fortunate, or both, as to kill a negro
boy in Washington last summer. She is
a daughter Of General Flagler, chief of
ordnance of the United States army.
The Flaglers have some fruit trees
in their yard, and the fruit of these
trees has been attractive to some of the
small boys of Washington. The negro
boy killed by Miss Flagler had climbed
the fence to steal some of the fruit.
Miss Flagler seeing him there, fired a
pistol in his direction, but pointed it,
as she said, toward the tree top some
distance above his head. She declared
that her intention was only to brighten
the lads away. By some DETECTION Of
the ball the boy was hit by it and fell.
She had him carried into her fathers
house, where shortly he died. At once
the young woman drove to police head
quarters, told her story, surrendered
herself and was released on bail The
coroners jury, as result of an inquest
held the same evening, declared that
while the firing was done without muir
derous intent, yet the shots were fired
carelessly and indifferently, but the
woman could not be held This
| was supposed to be an acquittal.
| The coIored citizens of Washington
were greatly excited, and created
| SO much feeling in the community
that to allay it Miss Flagler was oblig-
! ed to give bail in the sum of $4,000 to
| found against her. On the last day of
| October an indictment was returned
penalty for which is imprisonment not
| exceeding ten years, and a fine not ex-
| ceeding $1,000. The other day Miss
F'lagler appeared before Judge Cox of
| the criminal court of the district, half
| an hour before the usual time of OPEN
| ing, accompanied by her lawyer, her
| father and her aunt. Her lawyer plead
ed involuntary manslaughter, and ask
| ed the minimum penalty. The court
thereupon sentenced the prisoner to pay
a fine of $500, and to confinement for
three hours in the district Jail. General
| F'lagler took the exact amount from
his pocket in new bills and paid the
fine. Then in private carriage they
were conveyed to the Jail, where the
| two women sat and chatted in the ma
irons room until the three hours ex-
| fully executed they drove back to the
Flagler residence.
The colored people of Washington
are again in ferment over the matter,
and they regard the whole transaction
as perversion of justice They are so
near right that their feeling is under
standable. 1t may be that Miss Flagler
has been sufficiently punished in her
mind for involuntary homicide" what
ever that may be, but it is evident that
she has been treated by the court and
the officers of the law very differently

been Miss Flagler. There should moi
be one kind OF law for the rich and in
huentiaI and another for the poor and
friendless.

FASHION NOIES.

France.

An effort is being made to induce the
young matron of thirty-flve or so to
give up the pomp and vanities of this
nice world and to follow the example
of English women in combing the hair
very simply and wearing no orna-
nents. relying for effect entirely upon
the richness of material and the per-
lection of fit and style American wo-
men do not take kindly to this. Our
young matrons are more likely to be
taken for their own daughters than to
succumb to being matrons as long as
they can escape it. STILL an exception
is seen occasionally, and notable one

figure, tall and not too full. Her face
was round, her complexion good, her
hair glossy. She might easily have

Lang has expressed his doubts whether

Hazlitt's charge is too sweeping to
be regarded as other than a proof of
his prejudice. and Mr. Lang proceeds
to qualify his statement in a manner
that makes it complimentary rather
than unkind. In all this" he says. re-

any book or publication, in any lam
guage, it cannot be patented in this
country. There are about 100000 pat

BITTER WORDS.

London, Sept. 16.-The Rt.
Hon. w. E. Gladstone has
written still another letter de-
nouncing the Sultan of Tur-
key. In this communication
Mr.. Gladstone says: "In my
opinion, the Sultan, and not
his Mahommedan subjects, is
the author of the massacres.
From the first to the last, their
atrocrty has no parallel in re-
cent history. The concert OF
Europe, is a miserable, dis
graceful mockery and some
sovereigns and Governments
have given direct countenance
and support to the assassin,
Indeed, the presence of the
embassies at Constantinople
is in itself substantial count
enance of support to him and
his guilty proceedings. The
coercion which should Ions
ago have been applied to hin
might even now be the mean.

ADVICE FOR THE GAR.
London weeklies Call Atten,
ton in Severe Terms to
Turkish Murders.

London, Sept. 16.-In anti
cipation of the Cars forthcom-
ing visit to England, the daily
and weekly papers TEEN with
advice to the young ruler as to
the course that Russia should
pursue in Turkey. Some of the
wseklies are outspoken on this
subject, and the Speaker today
warns the Car that if he wishes
to retain the friendship of Great
Britain, there must be a radi
cal change in Russia's Turkish
policy. The Speaker adds that
it would be better to draw the
sword at once and face the hor-
rors of war than to commit
moral suicide by sitting calmly
by while the Armenian mas
sacres continue.
The Spectator speaks in a
similar strain, saying that the
lesson is being taught in Tur-
key that it is only necessary 10

anions to be reinstated in a
proud position ofindependence,
the Turks ought to be told that
the Sultan must go, and ought
to be- encouraged to depose

out that the Cars visit is re-
garded as purely a domestic
event, and expresses little hope
that Nicolas will show his hanc
politically.
