PERHAPS FATALLY BURNED.
With Painful ResuIts-Brother
Also Unfortunate

Massonia Handy, colored woman, aged
q, living at 21O Holmes street, was pain
fully, and perhaps fatally, burned at her
home last evening about 7:3O, while at
tempting to burn some coal oil off the
floor, which she had spilled while in the
a quantity of the oil as it fell from the
lamp to the floor, and when she applied a
match to the oil on the floor, the flames
sprang up, igniting her dress, and in an
instant she was a mass of flames. Her
screams brought her father from another
room, and he promptly tore her garments
from her and put out the fire, but not until
Miss Handy's face and legs and body hSl
been severely burned.
Police Surgeon LandOn was summoned
and had the unfortunate woman removed
to Central police station, where he at
tended her Her face was literally cooked
on the right side, and if she lives she will
probably lose the sight of her right eye.
On her body and legs, the flesh had been
blistered in many places, which caused the
skin to peel off when the surgeon applied
a dressing. Miss Handy was later removed
to her home, where it was ascertained last
night that she was resting easy.
Bird Handy, q brother of the burned
woman, was taken to Central police sta
ton yesterday afternoon with battered
head and badly cut ear, wounds he re-
ceived in fight with several other colored
men at Third and Locust streets. Alto
gether the Christmas of the Handy family
was an extremely sad one.

because of their deep, resonant voices, are
found sitting In shallow pool or in the
mud under tufts of heavy grass or flag.
The novelty and sport of capturing this
willy game are worth a row of ten miles on
a hot afternoon.
Two and sometimes three ordinary sized
perch hooks are bound together and baited
with red flannel The hooks are attached
to line of about four feet, and the line is
attached to a long, tough angle rod. Ap-
extreme caution, the red flannel Is gently
moved within few inches of the frogs
mouth AS quick as lightning and with
sharp croak, the frog dashes forward and
swallows bait, hooks, and all. Then fol-
lows rs gamy struggles as any sportsman
ever saw with hook and line
The amateur frog hunter usually pro-
vides himself with cat-and-rat rifle, the
shells loaded with mustard seed shot, and
shoots his game, but this is unsportsman-
like. and Is only popular with the unin-
itiated. Mill ponds, too. are favorite haunts
for the frog. and on a clear night the deep
roar of the bullfrog chorus may be heard
for more than a mile
The old-time of afore-de-war Kent county
cook has solved the mysteries of the per-
fecc preparation of the frog, and those who
do not know how delicious frogs legs may
be made have many a dainty dish in store
for them. After skinning, the legs should
be placed in cold water for several hours.

THE LEADERS VETOED IT.
JUDGE HERR NOT ALLOWED TO
NAME HIS CHEF DEPUTY.
Democratic Bosses Got After Him and
Compelled Him to Declare the
appointment of Judge
Monnahan OF.

The Democrats of Wyandotte county,
Kas., are thoroughly imbued with the old
idea of "old Hickory" jackson, that ito
the victors belong the spoils," and this is
now causing trouble to the officers whom
they succeeded in landing with their un-
holy alliance at the late election.
When the proposition to form an alliance
for the purpose of gathering in the offices
and defeating the Republicans, and also
the Minnesota avenue push" of the Wyan-
dotte county Democracy, several things
had to be taken into consideration, chief
of which was how to divide and whom to
select as candidates. After several weeks
of caucusing a meeting of a select few
was called. AT the next meeting the ques-
tion came up as to the location of the sew
eral candidates. as it was thought it would
be a wise plan to have them scattered over
the county pretty thoroughly. On this
they also agreed.
Then came the all-important question of
what locality was entitled to this or that
office. When it came to Argentine the two
committeeman from there, H. w. Richard
SUI anu - l.. 1ouSOi were given Tie
choice of county officers. They were not
at all backward in their choice, and took
the best office in the county, that of pro-
bate judge. This did not exactly suit the
Kansas City. kas., contingent, but it was
their own proposition.
Then came the primaries, the convention
and finally the election, which resulted in
their favor. After the election the candi-
dates naturally thought that as they were
elected the offices belonged to them, and
they were free to act as they. saw fit in the
naming of their deputies. Some of them
proceeded to do So
Probate Judge-elect H. NJ. Herr named
as MS chief deputy eX-Probate Judge Mon
nahan, and it was duly announced in the
journal. When the other Democratic lead
ers heard of it they were wroth, and pro-
ceeoed at once TO veto it. But Judge Herr
made the appointment in good faith and
expected 1t to stick until the Democrats
got after him. Then 1t was declared off.
Judge Monnahan was a Republican but is
now said to be a free silverite. The Dem
ocrats say the judge is too new a convert

Judge Herr. it is claimed, said he only
wanted Monnahan a little while to show

crats claim is a fatal mistake, and a con-
fesston of weakness on their part. They

An Unfortunate Break.

From Harper's Round Table
In letter that recently reached this
country, written by one of Queen Victoria's 3
soldiers, who was with his regiment march-
ing against the Dervishes in the Egyptian
campaign, Is a little amusing story of a
certain soldier who disliked the intense
heat of the country and sought in every
kind of way to obtain some excuse for
quitting the service. 1t seems he complain
ed to the doctor of his eyes, claiming that
he was so near-sighted that he could not
with safety fire off his gun for fear OF hit
ting comrade instead of an enemy.
Dear me-" said the DOCTOR that Is a
serious matter. Now tell me what Won
mean by near-sighted."
well. sir said the soldier, and he look
ed around thoughtfully as IL in search
of some idea, lit is an example you want?
Ali have one. Can you see that pin ly-
ing in corner over there?'
why. yes! And should say 1t required
excellent eyesight to see it, too" replied the
doctor
Well. that's my trouble. sir; can't
see it"

is not sent back to the home station.

pigeons were last to receive the attention

sembled in search of a favor from Santa
Claus. whom. they had been taught to be-
heve, was kind to the rich and poor alike.
They were not disappointed. The little
ones were welcomed by kind attendants,
who looked to the wants of all. Those oS

the rear of the Eall, where, after receiving
a refreshing bath. they were provided with
new suits of clothes and returned TO the
hall for dinner
Magnificent Christmas trees, laden with
resplendent "reminiscences of the joyful oc-
caEion, were on exhibition at many of the
churches. Santa Claus visited the members
of the Sunday schools and presents galore
were distributed.
A special Christmas service was held at
II o'clock yesterday morning in the Pilgrim
Congregational church, Seventh street and
Central avenue.
The young people of the Seventh Street

melodious music filled with rapture every
soul in the vast assemblage.

rendered at the German NJ. E. church.

TWO HIGHWAY RoBBERIEs.
Walter Rymus Severely Beaten, After
Being Robbed of $50.

Being Robbed of $50.
Walter Rymus, who resides at sos Lafay-
ette avenue was wayiaid by highwaymen
near his home and robbed of S29 in money
Thursday night. Not being satisfied with
taking all of Rymus' money, the robbers
beat their victim into a state of insensi-
bility and it was not until an hour later
that he was found.
Rymus is an employe OF the Armour
Packing Company and had just received
his monthly salary. He got off an Il"
car at Eighth street and had proceeded
only a short distance in the direction of
his home when he was struck from be-
hind by his unknown assailants. His pock-
cts were rifled while he lay bruised, bleed
ing and unconscious upon the curbstone
and he does not remember having seen the
parties who struck him. He was found by
his brother-in-law, r. w. Elliot, of oil JEFF
