The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-02-09

This morning I visited five of these lit
tie blind girls who had been redeemed by
a Christian woman before they were old
enough to be led into lives of shame. This
is the sad story of one of these little
creatures: Her father belonged to a lit
erary family and was himself an inteli-
gent Chinese gentleman. The opium habit
and gambling became the curse of his life,
and in order to crafty these passions he
sold all of his property and his six chill
dren, including this blind baby girl This
child was rebought from a low mistress
who was training her to be a singing girl.
one of these children has double thumb
on her right hand, and II was through
this deformity that she was rescued from
a wretched life. Her mistress brought her
to one of the hospitals and requested that
one of the thumbs be cut Off When the
surgeon declined to make the operation,
she started off, saying: well, i will cut
IL away myself for she can't learn the
guitar with a double thumbp' The doctor
reported the case to my friend, and a few
dollars redeemed the child, double thumb
and all! She seemed as lively as cricket
this morning.
No one can tell what these innocent chill
dren suffer when they fall into the clutches
of these old harTidans, and that the gov
eminent has any responsibility in the mat
ter does not seem to occur to the governor
of Canton.

st. Lawrence in Cincinnati, and 1t was
there the tickets for the excursion was
sold as open as the day, and they went off
like hot cakes at five and ten dollars a.
piece. More than three thousand of them
were sold. The crowd went by the cars to
the fighting ground, and as l said before
1t was the SWEETEST lot / ever saw at a
fight. There were merchants, and bankers
and lawyers and business men of all kind
there. The gang was there, too, and the
way 1t went through the crowd was a
shame. They stole watches, pocketbooks
diamond pins, and things like that by the
hand full. By and by, while waiting for
the big arms. it was proposed to have
Patsy Sheppard and Mickey Coburn fight
for purse made up on the ground. When
they went into the ring I'll bet there were
over five hundred empty pocket books
thrown in at them by the gang. They
fought for nearly an hour, and in that time
pretty much every respectable man in the
crowd had had his pocket picked. Some
of the gang became so bold that they
worked openly. You never saw such dis
gusted lot of men in your life as were the
business men who went to that fight"
But how did the fight come OFF,
Mr.. Aaron You see Coburn wasn't fit
to fight, and as he was walking to the
ring a United States treasury detective
Cool got in the ring and made a speech
and claimed the championship; then
there was a lot of growing and grumb-
ling. At last IL began to rain bit, and
the crowd made for the cars. We all got
back to Cincinnati about dusk, but I'll
bet there's many a respect table old mer-
chant there to-day who gets hot in the
collar when he thinks of how his leather
was pinched at the Coburn-McCool fight
that didn't come off" Then Barney
burst into loud laugh.
What is so funny about the recollec-
tion?' l asked.
'I was thinking" he replied, "of how
Mickey Coburn looked when he went to
put on his coat after the fight. It's arms
and. pockets were stuffed full of pocket
books, and there wasn't a blooming cent
in one of them.'
And those were 1.-THE palmy days of the
ring T. B. (Macon) Mccormick

GEN. HARRIsON's MARRIAGE.
Awful Mixing of Judge scott's Fam
lily Relations.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The approaching marriage of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison to Mrs. Dimmlclk is having
a more confusing effect on some OF the
brides relations. A special from Port
Townsend, Washington, says that Judge
]. u. Scott, the Presidents brother-in-
law, and his fancee's uncle, has been
studying the effect 1t will have upon him,
and is all tangled up. OF the existing re-
lationship Judge Scott is fully inform
ed. 1t was In trying to locate the limb OF
his own family tree after the wedding
shall have taken place that he became
confused. After several hours of deep
mental exercise he arrived at these con-
illusions:
II am now Gen. Harrison's brother-in-
law, and Mrs. Dimmick, his prospective
bride, is my niece. After they are mar
ried, my brother-in-law will become my
nephew, and my niece Will become my
sister-in-law. Then, of course, Will be-
come my own brother-in-law, and, also,
my niece's brother-in-law. Now" slowly
Confined the obiiosonhical reasoner. de-
delving into the future little deeper, "if
this contemplated union should be pro-
ductive of a claimant for@ the ancestral
hat, he will be my nephew, and also my
granddaughter.
81 will be his uncle and his grand-uncle.
Whewp calculated the judge, as he wiped
the perspiration from his brow, THAT will
complicate matters. Just see here. Now,
In order TO be uncle and grand-uncle, TO
one and the same person, 1t must neces-
sarily follow that / am my own father,
and-oh, the whole thing anyhow, l
am not going to rack my own brain over
other peoples troubles" and up jumped
the judge, somewhat exasperated.
The logical result of the union was quite
astonishing, the judge and the guests
sat down to figure 1t out again, arriving
at the same conclusion. Then someone
ascertained that Gen. Harrison would
become his own nephew, and cousin of
his own son, should one be born, and who
will also be a second-cousin to his own
brother and his fathers nephew. At this
point the mental exercise subsidized, Judge
Scott agreeing to furnish a palatable
beverage If his guests would keep invio-
late the secret. But 1t leaked out, and
has been given to the press.

A UNIQUE OVERCOAT.
1t Is Made of the Skins of Unborn
Musk Oxen.
From the Spokane Review.

From the Spokane Review.
S. N. Malterner of Spokane wears an
overcoat that is bound to attract atten-
ton, no matter where it is seen. The coat
is made out of fur Of unborn musk-ox,
and, were it not for the weight of the
ingly pretty. The coat is light in weight,
and, were in not for the weight of the
lining, would seem as though made of the
softest down. The color is a light silver
gray when the light is upon it from one
direction, and as soon as the light is
shifted it turns to a clear gray. When
seen under light not very bright it has
the appearance of jet black. Mr. Nal
terner says that it has attracted so much
attention in the eastern cities that he had
to lay it aside to keep from being both
cred answering questions as to what it
was and where he got it.
The fur of the unborn musk-ox" said
he, lis very rare. In fact, cannot be had
for money. They way l got the fur to
make this one was peculiar. Two years
ago 1 made a trip to the Great Slave lake
and in fitting out at Athabasca Landing
l bought a canoe, paying 500 for it. It
was along toward fall when / got back to
the Landing, and there l met an old trap
per, who had been hunting and trapping
along the lakes and rivers for a number
of years. He seemed to take quite fancy
to my canoe, although he did not say any
thing. but was looking it over carefully
and noting its good points, as a horse
fancier would a blood horse. Finally he
stepped up to me and said: Say, mister
what are you going to do with that boat 2''
'At that time / had no expectations of
ever going up in that tpart of the coun-
try again, and as the boat could be of lit
tie value to me, answered: Just to show
you that the yankees are all right pli
give you that boat He was greatly
pleased, and, after looking it over again,
he said: Well, I'll just show you that
the old trapper is all right, too and, TAX
ing me over to his warehouse, he got a
number of these furs and gave them to
me. At a cash value they would be worth
many times the canoe, and they were his
accumulation for a number of years.
After making the coat l found that
1 only lacked two of having enough to
make Jacket for my sister, and when
went on my trip down the Mackenzie this
year 1 met the trapper again, and told
him that 1 would like to get three more.
He loaned me the canoe that / had given
him the year before, and when / returned
to the Landing in the fall he had three
furs for me-"
