HUNTING DOWN A BANDIT.
Story That Illustrates Some Phases of
Life in Corsica.

| A Story That Illustrates Some Phases of
| Life In Corsica.
The other day told your readers
the story of Bonelli, who secured the
price put on the head of a well-known
brigand by numbering an old pilgrim
and palming off his body as that of the
brigand. An even stranger story re-
mains to be told about the brigand him
self. Casanova, commonly called Cappa,
was already dead when Bonelli was be-
headed. The story of his death Is pic
turesque, and it breathes the ancient
faithfulness and honor of the Corsican
character.
IAN Ajaccian friend" writes a corre-
spondent in the island, tells me that
Cappa was Mortified by the conduct of
Bonelli, and, none the less, much af-
fected by tine news of the murderer's
arrest. Cappa felt himself hemmed in
on all sides, and fed to the mountains
OF Prunelli-di-Sium-O -Orbo. This district
has been long famous for the courage
and hardness of it's sons. In Louis
XVIII.'s reign a few of it's hillsmen
kept 5000 soldiers at bay. Here Cappa
withdrew and hid himself in a lonely
valley, watched over by shepherd
sick. The mountaineers tended him as
we'll as they were able. An old priest
also ministered to his comfort, and,
W hile succoring the needy body, tried
as well to play the soul friend to the
bandit. He influenced Cappa sufi-
GENTLY to make him promise never
again TO use gun or knife in killing a
fellow man.
"Cappa was still i'll when the annual
fcsta of a distant village came around.
The shepherds had no fears for their
guest. They did not know that spies
were set to watch him. The men OF
the valley were seen leaving the place,
and informat tion was sent to the nearest
gendarmerie. The sick man had with
him only few children, some ofwhom
kept lookout.
"The police. who were not in strong
force, ventured with grave misgivings
into the dangerous, scarcely known re-
gion. On perceiving them the young
sters gave the alarm, and the weak
and ailing bandit seized his gun, MAX
ing down q narrow path for a wall, be-
yond which was the Magnis-the out
laws asylum, the heather of the Scot
tish royalists, otherwise dear life,
safety! When he had all but gained the
wall he saw a single gendarme close to
him.
"Cappa was a dead shot. In an instant
he had covered his enemy. But he re-
membered his solemn promise to the
old priest. He dropped his weapon and
let the gendarmc go free. The police
are under orders to shoot down ban
dts as keeper shoots down vermin.
This fellow. of course, fired. Cappa was
hard hit. but he dragged himself across
the fence and into the thick covert
far he could not go. On his knees, clasp
ing his gun with one arm, and with the
other grasping a tree bole, his pursuers
found him some hours afterward, stark
and cold, quite dead. Rd."-Westminster

OLD CUSTOMS AT THE CAPITAL
Hospitality Was Ono of the Chief Charac-
teristics OF the Residents.

| teristics OF the Residents.
Said gentleman who has been O fire.
quent sojourner at Washington during
the last 40 years: People nowadays
have n distorted idea of the hospitality
of ante-bellum times. The truth is
| that the customary hospitality of the
national capital was southern hospital
| ity and it was vastly different from
the society and social customs of the
present day. At that time if any man
had expended $500 or $1,000 or $4,000
upon an entertainment of one evening
he would have been regarded unfit
for association with leading men and
women of that day. The mere expend-
iture of large sums of money would
have savored too much of the shop and
of the salesman. Senator Douglas was
one of the most charming entertainers
have ever known. In common with
other prominent men of the day he had
his regular servants and they served re-
freshments such as were in those days
to be found in the homes of the plain
people and of the leading people of the
country. No one ever heard of set din
ners with regular decorations in stilt-
ed manner, such as prevail at the pres
ent time. The entertainments were of
a primitive nature, that is to say, they
were of homelike nature.
Another thing that appears to me as
remarkable is the change which has oc-
CURED in official life in the national cap
ital. In the days before the war it was
customary for gentlemen from the
south who came to Washington as mem
bers of the house of representatives or
as senators each to bring with him
young man, who was to act as private
secretary, for the purpose of being
trained i'll politics, because politics was
the gentlemanly profession of the
southern people at that time. The pri-
vate secretary of a representative or of
n senator was regarded as stndent of
politics and his standing was such as
student of Yale or Harvard might OBJ
tain in the cities where those institu-
tions are. According to his family his
tory and ancestry and his own person.
al merit, the private secretary of a SEN
ator or representative was received In
society and he was regarded as a highly
favored gentleman. Nearly all of these
young men attained or achieved dis
tinction as officers or soldiers in the
confederate army during the civil war
and a number of them have become
members of congress since the conflict
closed" Washington Cor. Philadel-

1t would be interesting, if it We're
possible, to make a census, classified as
to occupations, of the people. part Of
whose daily life is journey to and fro
between New York and Philadelphia.
| Two lines of railroads, each running
many swift trains, have brought the
two cities into comparatively easy com
raunication- Many of these trains have
cut their time down to two hours, so
that Philadelphia is not much farther
from New York than is Harlem from
tine Battery. Wall street and the DreXel
building, at Fifth and Chestnut streets
are connected during all the hours of
business day by network of wires.
Telephone bells are constantly ringing,
and telegraph instruments are ever
clicking. But these intimate electric
connections do not prevent the neces-
sity of an enormous passenger traffic
each way between the two cities.
Both night and morning the trains
that rush past each other are heavily
crowded. and in almost every case these
trains are largely made up of parlor
cars, showing that their patrons are
prosperous business men, not a few of

these frequent intermunicipal jour
neys. The extension of the business in
terests of New York over into Long
Island and New Jersey finds fitting
further expansion in this shuttle-like
movement to and from Philadelphia.
One effect of this is seen in the respect
full tone that the commercial and social
forces of New York nave late assumed
toward Philadelphia. 1t is no longer
thought IL joke to speak of Philadelphia
as ''slow" or sleepy" or dead" or
''well laid out" All these quips have
had their day. Philadelphia is as prac-
tically part of New York as the an
nihiIation of time and distance has
been able to make it, ard the future

Abundance of trimming, ON Sleeves.

The abundance of trimmings on
sleeves is one of the new departures of
the season. Sleeves are made in five
or six pieces, and the seams which join
these are buttoned, braided, laced,
trimmed with gimp, jet, lace or en-
broidery. In many cases where there
is really no division one is simulated by
trimming. A similar decoration is gen-
orally placed upon the skirt also, con-
cealing or rather emphasizing the
seams which unite the various cores.
