Frank Luescher, twenty-four years

Frank Zobel, of 6SS Golf avenue Zobel
vim. There is no warrant out for
Luescher's arrest, but on Monday last
complaint was lodged against him by
night by Patrolmen Hurley and Gal
who is a farmer and has a dairy at the
number mentioned, charges that Lues-
cher attempted to criminally assault
his daughter, Annie Zobel, girl
seventeen years old. The girl made
a desperate resistance and Luescher
ran away. The parents of the girl were
opposed to having a warrant for
Luescher's arrest owing to the publicity
which would be given the affair. Pa
trolman Hurley evidently had not been
informed of their wishes in this re-
spect for he took Luescher into GUS
tody and sent him to the central sta
ton Luescher refused to talk about
the case, but said he had no recollec-
ton of any occurrence which would
lead to such charge.

A Lion Mesmerizes a Man.

Ensign Stewart, of the British navy,
is not believer in the theory of the
lion tanners that the steady glance Of
the human eye will subdue the widest
of the king of beasts. In fact, he came
very near losing his life in making a
test of that kind. While in India he
was one day visited by three friends
from England who wanted to go lion
hunting. So Ensign Stewart made up
a party, composed of half dozen
English residents, number of natives
and the visitors, and they went into
the jungle for big hunt. On the
fourth day out Ensign Stewart became
separated from the others and was
working his way through the dense
underground, with the growing con-
seriousness that he was lost, when a
great lion suddenly leaped into the
path, not fifty feet away from him.
The beast and man discovered each
other at the same time, Stewart raised
his rife and hurriedly fired. OF course
he missed, and before he could reload
the lion, with a low growl commenced
to creep towards him. The officer raised
his head and looked straight into the
creatures eyes, but the result was en-
tirely different from his expectations.
The great yellow eyes seemed like balls
of fire, 'and after q moments gaze he
saw nothing else. His gun slipped from
his hand, his strength gave way and
as he fell to the ground on his knees
his heart almost stopped beating. In
fact the lion had mesmerized the man.
All this time the beast was creeping
toward his prey. Stewards gaze was
fixed on the terrible eyes, and back of
them he could dimly see dark, sway.
ing form, but he knew that the end
was coming. The huge body and the
two fiery eyes rose in the air and at
the same instant there came loud
report, and the officer fsinted. Five
of the party had been following the
trail OF the lion, and they arrived just
in time to save their companion. But
Stewart lay for week in delirious
state and it was his last lion hunt.

RIDING A WHEEL OF GOLD.
Lillian Russell Now Has n Bicycle to
Match Her Hair.

About year ago an Eastern wheel
manufacturer presented Lillian Rus
SELL the comic opera beauty, with BIZ
cycle which was lavishly plated with
gold. This machine has now given place
to one made by a Western firm. The
new wheel is much more expensive
than the one discarded, the cost being
put at 81 400. Every part Of the wheel
which could be plated has three layers
of gold, and the value of the bullion
used in the plating process was $500.
In general appearance 1t is not unlike
other wheels of the '96 models. There
are, however, two exceptions, both of
which emanated from suggestions
made by the diva when she was in the
West recently with her company. One
is in the saddle, which is somewhat
smaller than the average lady's saddle,
and has concealed in the rear set of
springs. Again, the handle bars arc
nearer the rider than ordinarily. This
is accomplished by having the bar
which runs from the drop trifie short
er and inclined toward the rider at
greater angle. Another feature of the
machine is the total absence of guards
of any kind. Every part Of the wheel
has Miss Russelrs name engraved ON
it. This even extends to the delicate
spokes, each of which is efnblazoned
with the owners name on the triple
plating of gold. The rims are, of course,
devoid of plating. They are made of
curly maple and polished to brilliancy.
The cyclometer was included in the
plating, as was also the lamp, which.
by-the-by, is lighted with electricity
from a small but strong storage bat
terry.

An Intensive Calculation.

An Ohio farmer having given de-
tailed account of his operations for a
year on u $4,000 farm of 100 acres,
showing n net return Of about $400
after paying expenses, including the
support of his family, a South Caro-
lima paper rises to remark that such
farming would not be regarded as
profitable in that State. 1t mentions
the case of South Carolina farmer
who netted last year 1886 from a sim
gle acre, planted first in tobacco and
then in turnips. This figure applied
to 160 acres would mean profits of
$61, 760. The average tiller of the soil
would be willing to throw off $50, 900
of this amount for his annual net re-
turns, and yet the hint given regard
ing the possibilities of intensive farm.

Adventures of a Convict.

The following remarkable story of
adventure appeared recently in the
Westminster Gazette. 1t was recited
to M. Cochefort, head of the Paris de-
tective service, by an escaped convict
named Bourdet. According to his
story, Bourdet, an engineer by trade,
was sentenced to long term of penal
servItude in the year 1881, and was
sent to the penal settlement in French
Guiana. In 1885 he determined to es-
cape. Owing to his efficiency as
workman, he was made foreman of q
party of convicts who were sent to
work in an isolated paIt of the forest,
under the supervision of a warder. He
communicated his design to five of the
conyicts, and they managed to secret
ly construct q raft, on which they in.
tended to make their way to Dutch
Guiana by sea.
Taking advantage of fete day, on
which the surveillance was relaxed, the
six men got safely away on the raft.
| Their provisions consisted of small
quantity of rice, which each man had
saved from his rations, and tour of
them had also little quinine. They
made their way some distance down
the coast, and then landed to push
their way through the forest. One
soon succumbed 70 fever, and was aban.
doned to die. The fugitives were next
set upon by some Indians, who cap
tured two Of them, and Bourdet and
his two remaining companions es.
capped. Their next adventure was with
large serpent, which they unfor-
tunately stumbled over, and the rep
tire seized one of the men and crushed
him to death. The other two, after
enduring terrible hardships, reached
the river forming the boundary of
Dutch Guiana. At this stage Bour-
det's companion sold his remaining
rice and quinine. and Joined band of
wandering Indians.
Bourdet, left to himself, crossed the
river on an improvised craft, and after
much privation managed to continue
his journey to Georgetown. He sub
sequently worked for several years in
the gold mines, and having amassed a
small sum of money, he returned to
France to see his relatives. On his
way through Paris he was robbed OF
his money by swindler. In spite Of
this he reached his home, but, as his
reception there was decidedly cold he
returned to Paris. Unable to Obtain

Slapped by q Bear.

Sent rolling down mountain side
by blow from bears paw, and with
bruin in hot pursuit of the helpless
man, was the trying experience of
Warren Williamson, who, in company
with Elmer Holt. recently went to
Callahan run, near Jersey Mills, to
run logs down the mountain for Frank
Torbet of Jersey Shore. The men
had started one log, Holt having q
handspike and Williamson an ak.
After the log had started the men
came to trunk of n tree, which Will
hanson began pounding with his OK.
An ominous growl was heard, and
instantly thereafter q bear rushed out
of the hollow trunk and began to COM
bat with Williamson. The fight was
all one-sided, and lasted but one
minute. Williamson, taken complete.
ly by surprise, could do nothing but
stare at his bearship. The latter
sprang at the Gstonished woodman
and struck such powerful blow that
Williamson began rolling over and
over down the mountain. The beal
sprang after him.
Williamsons desperate cries fol
help awakened Holt to realization oi
his companions danger, and, grasping
his spike, he sped down the mountain
after tho bear. Fortunately he over,
took the animal before the latter
reached the helpless and tn oroughly
frightened Williamson. Holt began
prodding bruin with the handspike,
and made such determined onslaugh
that the animal gave up the pursuit
and disappeared in the woods. Phil.

Steamer Strikes a Whale.

Captain ]. @. Hunter, master of the
steamer Umatilla, has had many ex.
periences in his life on the sea, but
the strangest of all came as he was
guiding his sci around the treach-
erous rocks of Cape Flattery and into
the straits. The vessel was proceed
ing under easy steam when the out
look forward reported something float
ing that looked like an overturned
schooner. The Umatilla's glasses were
turned on the wreckage, and the ex-
perienced eye of Captain Hunter told
him it was whale, although 1t was o
monster.
1t was the work Of momen mt to de-
eide what to do, and Captain Hunter
swung the Umatilla around en- a bee
line with the sleeping monster and
rang down to the engine room for full
speed, A moment later the vessel
struck the whale, and for about ten
seconds there was oil poured on the
troubled waters. The passengers felt
the lurch of tho craft and rushed on
deck in time to see the two ends of
the half-severed mammal dangling at
the PROV OF the steamer. The force
OF the blow had not driven the steamer
entirely through the whale, and Cap.
tain Hunter backed away from it,
Then it could be seen that the whale
was of the humpback variety, over
fifty feet in length. Several camera
"fends" were aboard and secured

The records of the public schools of
New York City show that the attend
ance of the Hebrew children is more
regular than the attendance of the
children of any other class, and that
their standard of scholarship is higher.
No sacrifice is considered too great by
the Hebrew father and mother to keep
their children at school as long as
possible. A Hebrew who cannot read
and write his own a1guage at least is
the exception. An educational restric-
tion on education would have no ap.
preciable effect in excluding Russian
Hebrews. The Hebrews are a temper
ate people, and the saloon is not likely
to become an element in their social
and political life. Instead of beer and
strong alcoholic liquors, they drink
enormous quantities of tea and coffee.
Hebrew immigration is free from the
objection 30 commonly urged against
immigration in general, that it in
creases crime and pauperism. The
Hebrew quarter in New York, although
more densely populated than any
other tenement house district, is
rarely the scene of serious brawls OF
disturbances.

FiOckiug to the Ell Dorado.

The influx of immigrants into South
Africa is continuing at such rapid
rate that the Cape Times fears that
before many months have passed they
will once more be face to face with
the unemployed difficulty. Not even
the unexampled progress of Johannes.
burg can possibly keep pace with the
weekly arrivals. Sooner or later there
will be serious glut in the labor
market and a heavy fall in the re-
muneration of labor.
Already, it seems, the tendency of
wages, outside the class of artisans, is
in the downward direction. First
class men will, of course, always com
mand good pay In South Africa, be
cause their ranks are by no means ex-
tensive'y recruited frcm the flood of
new arrivals. But the outlook for
third-rate men is by no means favor
able. Our contemporary hears, for
instance, of tolerably efficient clerks
of the mechanical order who are
scraping along on the miserable pit

deal less than one would call Giving
