y "a curious problem has been submit
ted to Philadelphia court for solu-
tion. 1t takes the form Of suit brought
to enforce payment by the manager of
the Walnut Street theater of over $4,-
900, said to be due under contract
with Mrs. Julia Marlowe Taber. The
defendant admits that the contract was
made, but claims that the plaintiff
broke it by advertising herself as
.Julia Marlowe-Taber," instead Of as
"Julia Marlowe," and he says that the
engagement was a. financial failure in
consequence. This makes 1t necessary
to decide the monetary difference in
value between the public's interest in
an actress whom it can regard as an I'M
married and in one who openly con-
fesses her possession Of husband.

Hints on Swimming.

The beginner should not try to swim
any long distance at first. As soon as
he finds that he can keep his body float
ing easily on the water by means of the
strokes he has learned he should aim 20
perfect his form rather than aim to
coverlong distances. The stroke which
has just been described is technically
called the forward breast stroke, and
although there are a great many kinds
of strokes in swimming, this is the cas-
lest of all strokes to learn, and the one
that is most generally used. except. per-
haps, for racing. One of the most COM
mon of the fancy strokes is the over
hand stroke. This is performed by plac-
ing the body on the right side. with
the legs held out behind perfectly
straight. One leg is then broughtuPin
front. and the other is lifted up behind.
end the next motion is to bring them to-
gether with a swift. scissor-iike mo-
ton, exerting as much force as possible.
In the meantime the right hand is
moved out in front and brought down
through the water as far rs the left
thigh, while the left hand passes cut
at the water from the rear forward.
and is drawn back similarly through tie
water, thus pulling the body ahead,
just as one might pull ones self along
by means of rope.--Harper's Round
Table.

A RUSH TO GUIANA.

A Californian's Letter Drew Crowds to
tho Gold Fields.
Owing to the unsettled state of affairs
in Venezuela, departed for British
Guiana, where life and property we've
secure. On arriving at Georgetown,
the beautiful capital of the colony, with
about 10000 inhabitants, found 100
California miners stranded and full
of indignation. They had been lured
to Guiana by letter which had founl
wide circulation in the newspapers OF
the Pacific coast. A man who had
served as cook in California mining
camp had gone to Guiana. and hal
found good position as manager of Z
placer mine on the Barima river.
Elated by his good fortune, he wrote a
glowing account of his prospects to his
wife in California. She showed the let
ter to the editor of the local pa per. who
published it as an item of important
mining news.
This letter within q short time had
theeffect of starting groups of menfrom
the coast mining fields, some of them
even from British Columbia. 1t was a
time of depression in the mining indus
tries Of the Pacific coast, and a great
many miners were out of employment.
Though the writer of the letter had 40
intention of attracting others to his Fl
Dorado, the Californians. who had as
sumed that it would be as easy to pros
pect for gold in Guiana as in California,
regarded him as the author of their mis-
adventure, and INDUCED freely il,
threats of vengeance. No harm came to
him, however, because it is not light

Spanish Forces Lose 1000 Men-Maceo
Captures the Trochn.
New Orleans, Oct. 3.--The Times
Democrats Key West special says: Adj
vices received here from Havana state
that Antonio Maceo in u recent attack
Oh. the trocha inflicted terrible losses
on the Spaniards, more than 1000 being
killed and wounded. The attack was
made at night and was carefully
planned. The fighting was general all
along the line. but was fercest near
Artemisa. where Antonio Alaceo led q
picked force OF insurgents against the
Spanish column commanded by Gen.
Aralas. The Spuniartls were taken COM
pletely by surprise. They were aroused
from sleep to find hail of insurgent
bullets falling upon them. Gen. Aralas
and his staff, half clad. rushed from
their headquarters and tried to rally
the Spanish troops, who were panic
stricken by the insurgents attack. It
was half an hour before even SEM
blance Of order could be restored to the
Spanish column, and during that time
the troops remained huddled together,
an easy mark for the bullets OF the
Cubans. 1t was during this period of
the panic that so many Of the Spanish
troops were killed.
1t is said many Spanish officers were
killed and that Gen. Aralas himself was
slightly injured. After Gen. Araias sue
ceeded in rallying his men he made re-
treat and the Spaniards fell back four
miles or more, leaving the trocha in
the hands of the insurgents. Antonio
Maceo did not pursue the Spaniards. but
held possession of Artemisa until morn
ing. when. he retreated TO his strong.
hold. Before the insurgents retreated
they. demolished the section of the
trocha near Artemisa, blowing up the
Notifications with dynamite.
The attack ragged from Bahia Honda
on the north to Makanda on the south,
and ut all points the strong line was de-
molished. Maceo could easily have
crossed with his entire force, but it
seems that he had not such purpose in
view. His object was simply to de-
molish the trocha so that it could not
impede his eastward march when he
desires to advance to meet Gomez.

Especial New York Correspondence
The autumn brings out a moditica-

with striking changes in color and
garnitures. Regarding the sleeves,
which continue to be such an impor-
tant factor of the gown, there are
numberless styles, but in every instance
the prevailing modes arc simple

is shirred in five rows at the top and
three ut the bottom where it joins the

whatever under the arms. All the NUT

Libel Suits.

suit against the ews-Tribune of Du-

article from the St. Paul Dispatch,
printed Aug. "a, in which it was insin-
uated that he was acting from selfish
and mereenary motives in advocating
the views he advocates on the currency
question, and that he had been acting
in the special interest and pay Of own
ers of silver mines, or had stock In sill
yer mines. Papers in q similar suit
against the st. Paul Dispatch have
been sent to Ramsey county for serv-
ice. The amount sued for is SIS, 900.

traction when served with q notice by
Towne's attorneys, 30davs ago, but the

Locomotive Boiler Explodes-seven Per-
sons Are Killed.
Usage City, Kan, Oct. ga frightful
railroad wreck, attended by serious loss
Of life, and made more terrible by the
self-murder Of one of the passengers,
occurred ut five o'clock Sunday morning
on the Santa Fe road, two miles north
of this station. Seven bodies have been
recovered from the wreck, and it is
feared other victims are buried beneath
the debris. The wrecked train was the
cast-bound passenger No. 2, the SINE
that had such thrilling experience
with bandits in New Mexico on Friday
night last. The wreck was caused by
the explosion Of 1.-The boiler OF the loco
motive. The engineer should have
stopped for water at Usage City, but. be-
ing behind time, he endeavorcd to ,un
to the next tank. Though it is not posi-
lively known, the engineer and fireman
having, both met death in the wreck, it
is surmised that their neglect was the
cause of the disaster. The train Lad
proceeded but two miles beyond this
place, about to the Peterson coal chutcs.
when two terrific explosions were
heard, one following close upon the
other.
The locomotive was completely shat
tered. The express, baggage and Eas-
senger cars came crashing upon the
wrecked engine and the coaches that
were ahead were piled up in one heap of
wreckage. Those in the rear were all
tlerailed, hut the passengers riding in
the rear escaped serious injury.
The wreck was marked by scenes of
the widest confusion among the ter
rified passengers. The nerves of many
were at high pitch as result of their
experience with the road-agents of New
Mexico, and when the crash came the
first impression of nearly every one was
that the train had been attacked again
by robbers. One passenger. William
Becker, of Los Angeles. en- route to
Chicago. lost his reason entirely. When
the crash came he drew a single-barrelcd
pistol from his pocket. and. in tho
presence of a car full of terrified passen-
gers, took his own life, sending bullet
into his brain. Becker had been drink
ing heavily. He was about IS years OF
uge. Owing to the excitement and con-
fusion little could be done to rescue the
injured and remove the dead bodies until
the sun appeared. Seven bodies were
finally recovered. The dead are: Will
liam Becker, Los Angeles, Cal,; En-
gineer Strump, Topeka, Kan; Fireman
Harry Hollister. Topeka; William Nc
Adams, tramp, riding on baggage car
and supposed to be from Chillicothe, Ia;
three tramps, names unknown. all OF
whom were riding on the baggage car.
Three persons were injured.

ONLY HOPE OF LIFE.

Permanent Premier of C0mmsndin:
Ability the Ono Thing Needed.
1t is great aggrayution of the danger
of Turkey that she has so little to hope
from revolution. The constitutional
reform proposed by the young Turkish
party has nothing to rest upon. Tnr-
key is military empire, in which there
are three forces, the house of Gilman,
the army, and the Mussulman rlob.
and none of the three desires puppet
master governed by takers or by the
pashas who shave assir1llated civilian
ton and whom old Mussulmans de-
spise. A Christian regime is out of
the question until the shells have
dropped in Constantino2'e, and there
is no Turk. Arab, or renegade who has
any firm hold on the army or any per-
suading repute with the general :.ody
of the population. Ibrahim Pashn could
have founded a new dynasty if the pow
ers had let him alone, but in the Tur-
key of to-day tall peoples" have ceased
to exist, and outside the house of 9th
man no one whom the Ottoman clan
would endure can be so much as dis
cerned. The shereef of Mecca is the
highest figure in the orthodox Mussul-
man world, ard he is pure Arab whom
the Ottomans. unless lie has proved his
commission by j great victory, would
refuse to-day. Within the house OF 9th
man there is little hope. The nearest
heir is not sane. and among the princes
no one excites the kind OF confidence
which induces men to place for their
sakes their heads in peril. The pres
emit sultan. though feeble man. IS not

may be taken as an axiom that conven-
lent deaths never kappen-and sultans

A Good Indian

Gus II. Beaulieu, Of st. Paul, has re-
ceived q letter from Amazon Clark,
dated at the Mile Laos reservation,
bearing the news that Moozomaunay.
one of the chiefs Of the Chippewa bands
in Minnesota, died at Mile Laos reser-
walton Sept 3, at the advanced age Of
s. years, The deceased was we'll and
favorably known in the vicinity Of
Mile Laos as O friend of the whites.
In 1862, when almost oil the tribes on
the western frontier were hostile to
the government, the Mile Laos Chip
pewas remained loyal, mainly through
the efforts of Moozomaunay.
