TO PAY FOR Her OWN DEBUT,
Louisville hyD Heircss Asks the
Court for an Allowance

Louisville HxyD Heiress Asks the
Court for an Allowance.
At the Louisville (Ky.) hotel the other
evening Mrs. Murray Keller gave a
debut party to introduce her sister,
Nettie Standiford, daughter of the late
Edward Standiford, once president of
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad COM
pany. The ball was grand one, at
tended by the most exclusive set, but
the party carries with it tale not with
out interest to the envious outsiders
and to the gossips among the social set.
The other day Miss Standiford filed suit
in chancery asking for an immediate al
lowance of 1880 from her share of the
estate to enable her to Pay for the debut
party. The allowance was ordered.
In the affidavit asking for the allow
ance Miss Standiford asked that a sum
be appropria ted sufficient to make her
entree into society in style becoming
her station in life. There was also an
affidavit that money is needed to pay
certain Indebtedness, mostly contract
ed while attending Nine. Ely's fashion
able school in New York in 1896. The
estate held in trust for Miss Standiford
is a very large one, DR.. Standiford hav-
ing been a millionaire, and left four
children, yet the handsome yearly al
lowance seems to be insufficient to keep
up the fast gait of society.

William NJ. Butler Turns Criminal in
Order to Get Books to Read.
On September 3, 1896, William Mills
Butler, alias Westerfeld, was arrested
at St. Louis for using the mails to de-
fraud. He had had some letter heads
autographed ostensibly for the or
phans' home at Rondout, n. Y, with the
name of w. S. Bissell, postmaster-gen-
eral under Cleveland, in the corner as
president. Buffers name appeared as
secretary.
He used these letter heads in order
ing books. His orders were filled. Fin
ally, he was arrested and pleaded guilty.
While in Jail he repeated the offense.
He always got books by standard au-
thors.
In extenuation he said he had a con-
Stunning desire for knowledge. His term
for the first offense has just expired.
Now United States Judge Adams adj
mits he is loath to again sentence But
Ter and says he feels Butler is not a
criminal, but simply wants learning,
and is too poor to pay for it. He has
taken the case under advisement.

FOOLED THE SPANIARDS.
Interesting Account Of Another
Filibustering Trip to Cuba.
Cargo of Arms Landed Just as a Span
ish Vessel Appears-Men Forced
to Abandon Schooner, Which
Springs a Leak.

A dispatch to the New York Press
from Fort Pierce, Fla, says: For the
last two weeks the officials of the Span
ish consulate in Jacksonville have been
constantly on the alert, the guarded
actions of prominent Cuban leaders oc-
casioning them much trouble. The fill
buster Dauntless, that has been in the
vicinity, was watched and Spanish spies
have been up and down the coast look
ing for members of filibustering eN-
petition who were trying to get away.
But the Cuban leaders entirely fooled
them.
For several weeks 1000 heavy rifles
and large quantity of small stores
have been lying under guard on the
Keys south of Miami, which were, so
the story goes, to be shipped to Cuba
on the Dauntless, but the close watch
maintained caused a change of plans
and on November 20 dozen members
of the Dauntless' crew went south to
Miami by rail, and with small boats
went to the rendezvous.
The White Wings, a small two-masted
kschooner from Bahamas, met them and
took the cargo off and Immediately set
sail for Cuba. On Friday last the crew
of the schooner succeeded in making a
landing in Nuevitas. 1t was one of the
most daring expeditions yet reported.
Just as the last of the munitions of
war had been taken in small boats Off
the schooner and transferred to shore,
large Spanish vessel was seen bearing
down upon the schooner.
The men in the small boats pulled for
their lives and managed to reach the
White Wings, but when they got her
under way it was found that she had
sprung a leak, and so they were com
PEELED to beach her, the crew putting to
sea in the small boats.
Capt. Metz, of the White Wings, COM
manded the first boat to leave, and the
steward, a man named Montgomery,
commanded the second.
The second boat had no compass or
mariner aboard, and got lost. beating
around the greater part of Friday night,
being finally picked up by Norwegian
fruit vessel and landed at Nassau.
The men did not remain there long,
but shipped on a Key West sponge boat
for Florida. On reaching the Land of
Flowers they were, at their request,
put into their boat in Indian river and
sailed around to Fort Pierce.
The men in the boat with Capt. Metz
were undoubtedly compelled to land on
the Cuban shore.
The cabin boy of the White Wings,
whose name was Streeks, first discov-
cred the Spanish vessel, he being on the
outlook in the cross trees of the schoon
er, and it was due to his vigilance that
the members of the expedition were not
captured and the war stores confiscated.
The men with Capt. Metz, who were
forced, as supposed, to land, will prob
ably escape to the interior, although
the Cubans who met the expedition had
already left for the interior when the
boats were returning to their vessel.
Had the White Wings not sprang a
leak she might have succeeded in evad-
ing the Spanish vessel by going into a
small lagoon, but the leak compelled the
crew to beach her and abandon her.

TOO FAST TO FEEL,
WorkDaen Caught i'm Machinery Re

WorkEaen Caught in Machinery Re-
volviny Sixty Times Il Second.
Volney Moore, a workman at the
American wire nail works at Anderson,
Ind, had marvellous escape from death
the other night.
While working around the machinery
he was caught on a line shaft that was
revolving at the rate of 60 revolutions
per second. He was whizzing around at
terrible rate, when fellow workmen
ran to his rescue and stopped the
wheel. It is feared that he received in
ternal injuries.
BY unaccountable luck he was so
caught that his hands and feet in their
rapid revolution came in contact with
no obstacle. He is not able to tell the
sensations one has going around at the
rate of 60 revolutions per second.

Russell Avery Goes 1000 Miles Across
Country in n Prairie Schooner.
Russell Avery has arrived at Wester-
ly, r. l., having come overland all the
way from Kansas in a prairie schooner.
The start was made August rs. Avery
was alone and came through st, Jo-
seph, Mo-, Charlestown and Springfield,
Ill, Indianapolis, Columbus, O., across
Pennsylvania, through the lower por-
ton of New York state and across Con-
necticut to Westerly. He calculates that
he has Travelled 1000 miles. Avery went
to Kansas from Westerly in 1882, and
came back in the way he did because
he could not sell his goods there and
raise enough money for railroad fares
for both himself and wife. TIE latter
has been in Westerly for several weeks.
