A REMARKABLY. Gift OF Portrait. by Watts.

A Remarkable Gift OF Portraits by Watts.
Mr. George Frederick Watts is not only
the greatest portrait painter of the Vic
torian age, but also the most liberal donor
to the national collection of portraits.
Quite recently he has added about Is pic
lures 20 the gallery, in accordance with
what may ic called his lifelong purpose.
They illustrate the intellectual genius Of
his time with sympathy, strength and
completeness that have scarcely been
achieved by any other painter For many
years the gallery has been In possession Of
his portraits OF Lord Lyons and Lord STRAIT
ford de Radcliffe, both painted, or at least
begun ut constantinoplc during or shortly
after the Crincan war, and OF Lord Lynd-
hurst To these all presented by the art
list, are now added the statesmen Lord
John Russell. Lord Shcrbrookc, Lord
Shaftcsbnry and Lord Lawrence. Panizzi,
the librarian of the British museum; Sir
Andrew Clark. the physician; the philoso-
piers Mill and CARLYLE; Manning, the
cardinal: Sir Charles Halle, tine musician.
and no less than six Isocts-I cunysnn and
Browning. Ros>etti and Matthew Arnold,

Does Hair Ever Suddenly Turn whitee
Does human hair ever suddenly whiten
In the eases of persons under strong emo
lions of grief or terror: The popular no
tion Is decidedly in favor of nm affirmative
answer to the question. We say that the
popular notion would readily draw one to
such a conclusion. Perhaps the assertion
could be made somewhat stronger, for of
late years the psychologists and the natu.
ralists pretty generally agree that blanch-
ing of the hair in cases of sudden right
and extreme sorrow can be easily proved.
Halter in his Elcmcnta Physiologic" re-
fers TO eight different authorities for ex-
amples OF such changes. but all that he
appears to admit for himself Is that
under the influence Of impaired health
such changes may take place slowly.
Marie Aptoincttc was cited by favorcrs of
the popular notion rs a striking and well
authenticated instance, but Halter denies
that the whitening took place suddenly.
He also incidentally mentions the fact
that the transactions of the Royal society,
extending over period Of ga centuries,
do not contain an account of single in
stance of such change in the color Of the
hair. DIR. Laycock, on the authority of
Surgeon Parry, tells OF a rebel sepoy who
is said to have become prematurely gray
within less than a half hour. Hallcr, still
skeptical says that he believes this to have
been case where the hair had been stain
cd dark brown or black and that the col
oring was washed out by rain during tho
80 minutes mentioned by DIR. Parry st.

There is no joy in this world equal TO the
happiness of motherhood. woman finds
ample compensation for her trials and wor-
ries and bothers in the soft, clinging little
body nesting close TO her own-in the
trustful clinging of the little hands, and
the love light in the little eyes.
A womans health is her dearest pos
session. Good looks, good times, happi-
ness, love and its continuance, depend
on her health. Almost all of the sick
ness of women is traccable directly or indi-
rectly TO some arrangement of the organs
distinctly feminine. Troubles of this kind
are often neglected because a very natural
and proper modesty keeps women away
from physicians, whose insistence upon cx-
animation and local treatment is generally
as useless as II is common. DIR. Pierce's

Charles A. Storms, of Waukegan, Ill,
who Is visiting J. T. Matthews, OF Belle
vile, N. j., narrowly escaped death In
front of an engine on the Greenwood
railroad at Soho, and in his excitement
went down a blind lane on his bicycle
in the darkness and pitched down TWEEN
ty-five feet into Second river. At that
place the water is shallow and the bed
of the stream filled with mud. This
mud conceals a lot of broken stones
which have fallen from the red sand
stone ledge over which he rode.
Storm had wagered that he could ride
from Washington avenue to Bloom
field Center and back in fifteen min
utes, and he started at $50 at night.
accompanied by Werner Forgie OF
Belleville. They rode at scorching
ing, when Storms well in the lead,
and were approaching the Soho cross
ing, when Storms saw the Little Falls
train coming around the curve. He
was going at such pace that he could
not stop, and, bending low over the
handle bar of his wheel, he dashed
across the track, clearing the pilot OF
the engine by what appeared to Forgie
to be only a few inches. Meanwhile
the engineer had put on the air brakes
and reversed his lever. Storms. In his
excitement, turned from the main
| road upon broad path which termt-
mates at the edge of the rock ledge.
His friend shrieked at him to stop, but
he did not heed him. AS he saw the
yawning gulf before him Storms jump
ed from his wheel, but his momentum
carried him headlong into the mud
and water below. His bicycle fell
within few feet Of him. Forgie and
several residents of Soho hurried
around the end OF the ledge and drew
Storm from the water. He was un-
conscious and they thought he was
dead The doctor, after examining
him, said that Storms had received no
mortal injury and ordered him sent
home. The young man had dozen
i severe Commissions, one Of which was
on his head. 1t is believed that his fall
was broken by striking rock after rock
in falling down the ledge.-Eew forS

BLANcH HALL.

or twenty men garrisoned In their
house waiting for the Cornett party TO
come up. Among these volunteers were
George Dean and William Stewart
They were armed with revolvers. Win
chesters and squirrel guns.
Pace and the Cornetts bought sup
ply of cartridges, and armed with re-
volvers and shotguns sailed forth.
When they came In sight OF the Ed
ridge house desperate battle ensued.
The Eldridge pickets sighted them
down the road. and when the alarm was
given the Eldridge crowd broke from
the house and took possession OF the
road. At the first charge the Cornett
crowd jumped from their horses and
hid In the locks OF the fence, from
which points they made It SO hot for
the Eldridges that the latter were
driven to the house. Doors were
barricaded. and from the chinks be-
tween the logs and from around the
corners OF the house a continuous
fusilade was maintained In all direc-
lions to keep the Comets from advanc-
ing on the house. The house is said
10 have resembled veritable fort.
with smoke and bullets and flashes
Of fire belching from every crevice At
last II was decided that this defense
could not be maintained. and a charge
was made to dislodge the Comets from
their position In the fence-corners.
The Comets opened fire, and George
Dean fell with a bullet through his
heart. A retreat 10 the house and an
other charge was made, and this time
Stewart was shot through the head
The Eldridges this time were cut OF
from the house. and as they retreated
toward the river the elder Eldridge
was shot through the groin. The
deadly execution OF the Cornett crowd
is credited to young Pace. who is
acknowledged the finest shot in Harlan
county, as the dead and wounded bear
the bullets OF his i4-Remington re-
volver. The noise of the battle alarm
ed the whole neighborhood. and the
fatalities in the Eldridge crowd caused
them TO abandon the field. The Cor
netts proceeded on their way. but were
arrested and lodged In Jail along with
Pace. The latter's clothes are said to
be riddled. but he is uninjured.
All the parties are related. more or
less distantly, and are connected In
turn with nearly every family In the
county.

death, the Judge was unable to arrive
at any other conclusion than that the
opinion Of the jury was warranted by
the weight OF the evidence. District
Attorney Graham then read the rec
ords Of the case and moved the court
to pass sentence upon the verdict of
the jury.
The prisoner was ordered to stand
up. He arose to his feet unflinchingly,
and grasped the iron railing Of the dock
with firm hands.
After due consideration" began the
Judge. the conclusion has been reach
ed that the verdict must be sustained.
We can only say to you that you should
now give your attention to the future,
and the welfare of your soul is the
first and greatest consideration. To
others the moral OF this case may point
an impressive lesson. 1t shows that
the law follows with leaden heel and
strikes with an iron hand. If you had
reflected upon this you might not now
be where you are. The sentence of the
court is that you be taken hence to the
county prison and there be hanged by
the neck until you are dead And
may God. in His infinite wisdom, have
mercy on your soul."
