Ohio Girl Refused to Exhibit and Lost
Her Lawsuit.


Had Miss Marie Prevoncha, of San
dusky, o., been one of the ladies of the
ballet instead of professional nurse
she might now be $4,000 the richer,
says the Chicago Chronicle. While on
her way home one evening she stumbled
over piece of defective sidewalk, fell
and sustained severe injury to one of
her legs above and below the knee. Sub
sequently she brought suit against the
city, claiming $4,000 damages on ac-
count of her injuries When Miss Pre-
voncha was placed on the stand the
counsel for the city raised point as to
the character of the injury, and insisted
that in order that the jury could better
judge of the facts Miss Prevoncha
should exhibit her injured limb to the
jury.
Never" she fairly Kissed, as she
pointed her fingeratthe city prosecutor.
1.-The demand is monstrous.' The
prosecutor insisted and quoted authori-
ties, and there was a long argument.
The judge finally decided that it would
be indelicate to enforce the demand and
the case went to the jury, which re-
turned verdict for the city. It is be-
lieved that had the fair plaintiff made
the exhibit suggested she would have
secured damages. AS she. expressed
1t, however, II am not a ballet girl
but a professional nurse, and prefer to
lose the case rather than make such an
exposure"

CAPTURED BY ANTS.

Story of the Strange and UNPLEASANT
Experience OF an English Vessel.
When vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with cargo Of. logwood,
everybody On board, from captain down
to cook, rushed franticnlly ashore, as
though pursued by some unseen enc
my. AS a matter Of fact, the vessel
was literally swarming with hordes OF
hungry Jamaica ants, says London
witness.
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and dived headlong into the sugar
barrels. After finishing the contents
OF these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, ana
ate everything before them, until it
was feared that the stock of provisions
on Board would run short. There was
cessation from their attacks, when the
vessel was caught in West India hur-
ricane, (which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
newed energy.
The captain who commands the YES
sci stated that there are millions of the
insects still on board, and he Thought
that the cargo must have come from the
vicinity of ant hills for which Jamaica
is noted. He stated that the ants were
in all parts of the vessel, and that in all
his experience at sea he had never be-
fore met with an attack like the new
corners waged against him.

Magnolia Gem otery.

At the twenty first annual meeting Of
the stockholders of Magnolia Cemetery,
Charleston held at the Carolina Savings
Bank, President Geo, w. Williams sub
mitted the following report: Since
Magnolia Cemetery was organized,
nearly half century ago, 2,7OO lots
have been sold, also 1905 lots in the
strangers section. The first interment
in Magnolia was in 1S4S. The number
of interments to June l, 1898, is 10, $50.
The sale OF lots amounts to Sl8l, 115.
By an agreement with the lotholders 20
per cent of the gross sales of - lots
have been paid to board : OF
the lotholders. This fun 3D.
S74 Perhaps in the n, --iy years
all the lots in the cemetery will have
been sold. The interest derived from
the trust fund will doubtless be large
enough to keep the grounds IN order
even after the sale of all the lots.
