Pictures of Rousseau and Hume.

"The portraits of Rousseau and Hume
are historic. Both were executed in
1865, the year Of that absurd misunder-
standing between the self tormentor and
his guide, philosopher and friend, over
which so much eighteenth century ink
was spilled. They must have been paint
ed shortly after the arrival Of the pair
in England in January, and that of
Rousseau was apparently interrupted
by the quarrel, since it is asserted that
he refused to continue the sittings, and
the portrait, in which he wears the
American dress he had recently adopt
ed, is supposed to have been finished
from such furtive glimpses IF him as
could be obtained in public. That Of
Hume exhibits the historian in his
charge d'affaires period, when, as the
apostle Of deism, he divided with whist
the admiration Of the Parisians. Aus

Occupation and Health.

There are occupations which men

You Will be more likely to find old men
IN gashouse-men who have worked
In the business for many years-than in
a brewery. III the brewery men look
robust and strong. They have every ex-
ternal appearance of health and would
be looked upon by the average man as
good risks. But the fact that one rare
ly sees an old man in the business shows
that the calling, coupled with the hab-
its which it creates, has tendency to
shorten life. The iron worker is anoth-
sr who is less good risk than the gas
man if all other things are equal. The
fine particles of metal which find their
way into his breathing apparatus have
an effect on his lungs, and strong men
in that calling frequently develop pull
monary consumption. In fact, all trades
and occupations which require working
in dust are detrimental to longevity and
will kill much more quickly than work
ing in well regulated gashouse. -

Deadly Work of Coachman Mt Chicago
with n Revolver.
Chicago, Jan. 30.-Albert Cunning, a
coachman, shot and instantly killed
Mrs. Mary Benning at her home, 1895
State street, Friday morning. He then
attempted to shoot the woman's two
boys, and, falling, turned the weapon
upon himself, infiictlng what is thought
to be a fatal wound in the breast. The
woman fell lifeless on the floor, with
a wound in the right temple, and the
unconscious form of her slayer fell for
ward across her body. When the po-
lice arrived at the summons of the two
boys who fled in terror from the house,
they found the man and the dead wo-
man in this position. The body of Mrs.
Benning was left at the house and Cum
ming was taken to Mercy hospital.
Cummings home is said to be in Gin
cinnati, but little else is known of him.
About a year ago he roomed at the
house of Mrs. Benning, when she lived
with her husband at Thirty-ninth and
Dearborn streets. Then he made an
attempt to kill her, wounding her in the
arm and head. He made his escape, and
was never captured. 1t Is said the wo-
man had not seen him from that time
until he appeared at her home Friday
morning. According to the best infor-
nation the police have thus far been
able to gather. Mrs. Benning mad forced
Cunning to leave her house. The dead
woman's husband Is William Benning,
who keeps a livery stable at Twenty
third street and Wabash avenue. He
was not present at the house when Cum
ming arrived

Their Firth Annual.

IL was a grand success in every senss
OF the word. That expresses the opinion
OF the $50 couples of young people who
attended the fifth annual ball given by
Company ID, Hiberniaa Rifles. at the
Light Guard Armory last evening, and
to say that everyone had a good time is
putting il mildly indeea. Ii was thought
by some that the Odd Fellows party
given the previous evening might have
had some effect on the attendance. but
IL il did il was hardly noticeable and the
crowd was certainly large enough To in
sure the financial success OF the dance
and was just large enough 10 make dane
ing a real pleasure.
The Rifles annual has come 10 be
looked upon as an event in the social life
of Calumet people, which could not be
well missed and those who did not at
tend last evening" certainly missed very
pleasant affair. The dance is not given
with any idea at money making, but Sim
ply as an event when the company can
entertain, and they can do it TO perfec-
ton.
Dancing commenced early in the even
ing and was kept up until an early hour
this morning, the merry dancers only
stopping long enough for refreshments
about the middle OF the dance, The pro-
gram consisted of some twenty-six or
twenty-eight numbers, besides several
extras.
During the evening the company gave
IN exhibition drill. Considering the fact
hat no extra work had been put on the
irill for this exhibition, il was excellent
rom military point OF view, and re-
lected credit alike on the individual
members OF the company and their eff
lent commander. The bayonet drill was

Washington, Jan. 30.-An outline of
the plans of the Chinese government

partment through a report from Com

upon the feasibility of securing ships
in the United States. He was informed
that China proposed to reconstruct her
navy and become a first-class naval
power i'm ten years.
The bay of Kia Chow, on the south
side of Shangtung promontory, is to be
thoroughly dredged and fortified for a
great naval depot, and the arsenal at
Fow Chow is TO be reorganzed and en-
larged under French engineers, so as to
