ENTERTAINED A THIEF.
The Generosity of a Kentucky Woman
Abused.

Abused.
st. Louis Republic: The memory of
the old Planters House was revived
by this story, told the other evening
by woman who now resides in this
city. twenty-five years ago she came
to ST. Louis a bride. Her husband
they stayed for several weeks before
returning to Kentucky.
One afternoon the bride was sitting
in her room writing letters. Sud
denly there We're a scurrying of feet
in the hall, a quick exclamation, and a
rapid tattoo on her door. She sprang
up Immediately, crying, Come I'M"
A woman dashed into the room. She
was about the size of the occupant of
the apartment, and she appeared wild
ly excited. She wore a pink dressing
sacque, plentifuIlY trimmed with rib
bons and lace, and her skirt was made
of light gray cloth. 1t was "a good bit
narrower than the then prevailing
mode. Evidently it was costume de-
signed solely for taking comfort in
ones own room.
The intruder gasped: Madam, can
you not help me? My boat leaves for
New Orleans in half an hour. My hus-
band sent a boy to tell me to hurry
and pack my trunk and send it down.
1 have packed all my clothes in it, and
it is gone. l have nothing but this. y
And she made an eloquent gesture,
showing her unsuitable attire.
How embarrassing" calculated the
Kentucky bride. Are you sure you
have not left out your travelling
dress?"
Everything was packed. was in
such a hurry that l threw my travel
ing dress and hat into the trunk and
sent it off without thinking. oh,
shall miss the boatl My husband is
to meet me at the foot of Olive street,
and he will not know what has become
of me- What shall 1 do?''
The Kentucky woman had ward
robe full of pretty dresses, part of
her trosseau. Her sympathies were
aroused, and she made up her mind
what to do.
when does your boat leave?" she
asked
In % minutes" gasped the woman.
"There is no time to send out and buy
a dress. have no money! What shall
I do?"
Dol" exclaimed the Kentucky wom-
an. you will put on one of my dres-
ses'
She ran to the wardrobe, flung it
open, and took handsome cloth cos
the waiting woman, who grasped it
eagerly. Then she drew out a neat
travelling hat, and put it on the bed.
Put these on while 1 call carriage"
she said; there is no time for you to
walkl''
She left the room in possession of the
apparently grateful woman and ran to
the Office. where she asked for a car
riage. The clerk told her that there
were several vehicles around the cor
ner. and that he would have one ready
in less than three minutes.
She returned to her room, where the
woman was rapidly dressing
1T is all right now. You will get
there in plenty of time said the bride
The woman thanked her most ELUSIVE
ly, pinned the hat on, and gathered up
her discarded garments and asked her
hostess to give them to the chamber
maid. Then she said:

ORIGINAL. DRAWING. THE REPRODUCTIVE
FIRST PRODUCTION B Y HUHMELs SYSTEM

moves this platinum point very mi
mute distance from the line in which it
moved before. A screw and triple SER
les of ratchets are provided by which
the width between the lines can be reg
ulated.
When a picture is to be sent over the
wire il is first traced through a carbon
paper upon metal plate. Then the
lines on the plate are brought out by
a solution of Shellac, which is q nom
conductor of electricity.
After the machine is connected with
the electric circuit and the platinum
point is set in motion, each time it en-
counters a strip of shellac the circuit is
broken. This break in the circuit
throws down against the receiving pa
per in the Complementary part of the
machine a sharp needle point, which
etches into the surface a line CORE
spending to the course taken by the
platinum point while on the shellac in
SulatiOn. When the platinum point has
passed over the shellac and the circuit
is again closed the needle point is
lifted.
1t goes without saying that the har-
mOniOus working of the delicate instru-
ment requires the most careful adjust
ment of the clOckwOrk which controls
the velocity of the machine. This ad-
justment Mr.. Hummel reaches by sew
eral whirling fans. somewhat like the
governors of a steam engine, but with
discs instead of spheres.
The inventor does not regard his de-
vice as beyond the stage of improve
ment, but is now building a machine
which he expects to work still better
than the one in use. and to do it's
work in less time. 1t now takes about
20 minutes to transmit a complete
photograph. AS will be seen by the
Herald's reproduction. the portraits
now sent by wire are distinct enough
to be easily recognized. but MIR. Hum
mel is confident his next machine will
bring out the lines still more sharply
and VIII defined.

STEEL WAGE SCALE.
But Slight Change in the Wage of
Carnegie Men.

Pittsburg, Dec. 3O.-A new scale for

but Slight changes in the wages of men
employed by the day, but the scale for
tonnage men shows a reduction vari-
iously estimated at from to 25 per
cent. However, agents of the com
pany claim that the tonnage will get
equally as much money as they did at
the time when the last scale was first
adopted, their claim being that i'm
proved machinery introduced during
the past few days has enabled the men
to handle a greater tonnage. Tonight
many of the tonnage men are declar-
ing that they will not sign the new
scale, but considerable number have
already signed.
AT the Homestead Duquesne, Edgar
Thompson and Lawrenceville plants,
about 5000 men are employed on the
tonnage basis.

RING PROCEDURE.
Points Raised on the Middleweight
Law of Pugilism.

New York, Dec 31-McCoy's origin
al declaration that he would meet
Choynski at 15S pounds as a stepping
stone to a match with Fitzsimmons
brought up a nice point of ring pro-
cedure Mccoy could have insisted that
Choynski meet him at 15S pounds. At
the same time, Mccoy was perfectly
well aware that Choynsh could not
reach the middleweight limit. He has
decided to make a concession to
Choynski. Speaking on the subject
Mccoy said:
'In order to get a meeting with
Choynski / will agree to concede four
pounds over the miGdleweight limit
will meet him at the ringside at 1872
pounds, which l consider a very fair
proposition. To be sure, if he is will
ing to go at 15S, ! would have no OBJ
lection / make this concession to
Choynsld solely on the understanding
that if I win, Fitzsimmons will then
meet me at the middleweight limit of
1853 pounds"
1t is not unlikely that Choynski will
accept the 162-pounds proposition, all
though he would go into the ring rather
fine.

expressed that a woman would tackle
the four-fOOt eight-inch fences on even
terms with the men.
a burst of applause followed the sue
ceSsful topping of the brush fence, but
there was a cry of horror when the
Philadelphia gelding took off too close
ly to the pole fence and toppled back
ward upon his fair young rider. The
gelding fell among the poles, and Miss
Holloway was pinned beneath him
from from her waist down. She tried
to extricate herself, while Richmond
plunged and struggled. 1t took only
a sew seconds for the judges and the
grooms to reach the scene of the mis-
hap.
Two men attempted to pull Miss Hol-
loway from beneath the horse, but they
were unable to do this. and the only
way out of the difficulty was to assist
the horse to arise. This was done, and
the young woman waS half carried
away. She was conscious all the time
and never for moment lost her nerve.
1t was feared that some, bones were
broken, but after few moments Miss
Holloway smiled reassuringly at the
men who had crowded about her, and
walked away. Did she call a cab and
so to her hotel2 Women who follow
