CONsUELO AN AUTHOR.
The Duchess of Marlborough 10 Engaged
In Writing Book.

In Writing n Book.
Consuelo, duchess of Marlborough, has
developed literary aspirations. The oft
asked reason why the duchess did not
make her appearance at Newport last sea-
son after her coming had been heralded
far and wide has been discovered. The
duchess was then busy writing a book,
and thus the disappointment of society on
this side of the water Is not complete for,
though Newport lost a dowager duchess,
the novelty of book from the hand Of
an American noblewoman has been gained.
Consuelo, duchess of Marlborough, has
been visiting monograph-the rage just
now in England seems to be for books
printed for private circulation only-on
the town house of her mother-in-law, the
Duchess of Devonshire, an anecdotal his
tory of the house, illustrated with photo
graphs from portraits works of art, etc.
The book Is sure to be interesting, and
naturally the duchess has had every facili-
ty afforded her OF obtaining the most
Trustworthy information. This much
talked OF ducaI volume VIII not come from
the presses for a mouth hence, and even
then tho general public will never see 1t.
The volume which will be bound in the
handsomest manner possible, will be sold
only by private subscription.
1t Is said that tho work will trace the
family history from tho early days to the
present The dowager duchess resolved TO
revive the former social splendors, and her
amiable aud charming American daugh-
ter.in-law, the Duchess of Marlborough,
will aid her. Thus will Duchess Consuelo
of Marlborough come to her native land at
somo later day moro distinguished than
ever New York Commercial Advertiser.

"Pcrkins' Friend"

A curious story has developed from the
suicide Of Howard Perkins, superintendent
OF the county prison. Years ago he was
Informed that "a conspiracy was on foot
among number Of convicts To kin him.
In order TO protect himself no purchased 70
pistol Of the Colt make, which he has ever
since kept In his Office Tho old weapon
has always been known among the prison
officials as Perkins friend Yesterday
morning, when the superintendent entered
his Office, evidently bent upon suicide,
there were three weapons lying on shelf
In tho closet Two uf them were revolvers
OF modern make, tho other was Perkins
friend" dusty and spotted with rust
When the body was found, tho old weapon
waslying at his side, while the bright new

wives across the water TO wait for things
to blow over She claims that the women
Of Utah were better off In state of po-
lygamy than they are now. Sixty per cent
of the voters Of Utah are women, and they
control the state. They are intelligent
woDen, too, and know just what suffrage
means TO them and the community.
Some one asked Mrs. Cannon what she
meant to do with her children while she
was attending TO her senatorial duties. She
promptly replied, the same thing that she
does with them while practicing medicine.
Her opinion Is that the women who, stay
at home all the time make the most I'M
pleasant homes, while those who think
about something besides cook stoves, wash
tubs and baby 1annels make the best
mothers
Mrs. Cannon Is very emphatic in her
views of the relation of women TO public
Office. She doesn't want her sex to run
for unseemly offices, and she thinks the
gubernatorial chair too mannish altogeth-
or for woman to occupy. She hates a
mannish man as well as q mannish wom-
an, and by mannishness she means not nn
inherent quality, but something assumed.
All of her best men acquaintances are
ladylike, she says, and all of her women
friends gentlemanly. Brigham Young
once said:
"The day shall come when men and
women shall walk together side by side in
the temple.
The first woman senator in America
thinks that day is dawning now; that
electricity Is doing away with domestic
drudgery; that women are growing wise,
and THAI men are growing gentle. In
short, she believes that the millennium
is coming sooner than most people hope.

Tho other day at McMinnville, at the
meeting of the Bimetnlllc league, Samuel
Brown, son Of John Brown Of "soul goes
marching on" fame, met William Booth,

acquainted with every other delegate, and
all delegates speak whether acquainted or
not Several. delegates wero going about
introducing n rather handsome man of 40
or thereabout, whom they called Mr..
Booth of McMinnville. They would say
OF him:
"Mr Booth is the son Of the sheriff who
hanged John Brown of Ossawatomie at
Harper's Ferry"
All of which caused people to take more
than a common interest In Mr.. Booth.
Finally Mr.. Booth was introduced TO n
man OF excellent appearance, whose name
was Samuel Brown After the introduce
tion Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Brown chatted
very pleasantly for minute or two
"Mr. Booth" said Mr Brown, Twas 10
your father who hanged John Brown st
Harper's FcrryS'
YES" said Mr.. Booth. He was sher-
IN at that timo, and IL was his duty TO or
ciate st the execution. No relative Of

The Question Of the Sphinx.

RI
EJ,HE city Of Thebes was once afflicted with
Il monster, who infested the roadway,
much Travelled by cyclists, which led to the
metropolis
1t was called the Sphinx. 1t had the body
of a lion and the upper part was woman.
The Sphinx lay on the. top OF an enormous
precipice and propounded a question to each
traveller and bfcyclist az they passed by.
If they answered correctly he allowed them
to go on their journey in safety, but if they
failed, he hurled them, wheel and all, off the
rock
Many and many a poor traveller he had ac-
costed and asked his question, but up TO this
time all had failed to answer 1T.
The question the Sphinx asked was: what
is the best bicycle made?
At last noble hero came along the high
way, just returning from many adventures
and heroic deeds.
To him the Sphinx gave his question, tell
ing him if he failed he should suffer the same
fate as mis- predecessors.
The hero, nothing daunted, knowing we'll
what the answer was, replied, with head erect
and melodiouS voice:

Great Feature.
New York. April 27.-The receipt of
higher quotations from London, which
We're accompanied by buying orders
from that center, led to strong open
ing for stocks at the local board to-day
Foreign houses, it is estimated by COM
petent authorities, bought fully ten or
fifteen thousand shares of ST. Paul.
Louisville and Nashville, and the low
priced southwesterns, which fact ought
to put an end to the sensational talk on
Venezuelan affairs at least for time
Foreign investors and spectators ap-
pear to be paying more attention to
earnings of our railroads than to our
politicians just now. For instance, the
statement of the st. Paul, Omaha,
Louisville and Nashville, Southern
| Railway and some of the smaller south
westerns Just submitted, for the third
| week of April and for the month Of
March all showed good increases and
this in a measure explains the foreign
and local commission house buying.
The advance in the railway group
was equal to A@21s per cent Omaha

st. Paul, Burlington and Quincy and
Rock Island all sold at the best figures
for some time past. Manhattan was
strengthened by the belief that the
company will receive important conees-
sions from the city shortly, and adj
vanced to 1111a@1101s
In the industrials Sugar was the great
feature The stock first rose from 1227s
to 1875, then fell to 1881, and recovered

The afternoon break was due to the
raid by a prominent operator, who,
it is said, was misled by last weeks
rumors from Washington about the
abolition of the X cent differential, and
who attempted to get back his stock.
American Tobacco was in demand and
moved up from 717a to 7S2s@721A. Chi
cago Gas and Lead were also slightly
higher. The advance in the posted fig
ures for sterling exchange of 1ac which
was made to conform more closely with

Preparations have been made to take
care of large crowd at the Hyperion
theater this morning, when the seats
for the performance of 1.-THE Rivals"

was made to the management that it

would not consider it. Every effort is
to be made to guard the public against

served" policy is to be adhered to. No
large number of seats will be sold to
any one person unless the purchaser is
known as a responsible person to the
management.
The old comedy will be given in an

also be carried by the company. Every

The greatest cause of terror of
the present day, formerly con-
sidered hopeless, is now conceded
by the best physicians as durable
under proper conditions. It's
cause "a depleted condition of
the system; mal-assimilation of
food; wasting away OF, the
tissues; an impoverishment of the
blood. The result "a diseased
condition of all the organs of the
body;a formation of eating ulcers;
and the result death from collapse
or hemorrhage. But the cure is
