The Ingenuity Of Woman.

There was no light in the house.
Outside the rays of the electric lamp
struck the wall and cast long, weird
shadows of the trees. Up stairs in the
front room a woman lay asleep. An
alarm clock stood on the mantel at the
foot Of the bed.
A clock somewhere down the street
had just struck 2.
A man turned the corner and tot

more like a fattened Dutch cheese,
and was a solid missile. Moreover. it

which, indeed, it alone differs from
putting the weight. That quoits is now
played chiefly in the country is the
fault of those who do not play it and
bring it into fashion.
1t is no doubt a very ancient Eng
lish game, and it's beginnings are lost
in the mist of ages. Hakluyt men
tions it in his book of Voyages, so
it was we'll known in Queen Eliza
beths time, when it probably was one
of the favorite sports of Merrie Eng
land. In some parts of the. country
the rustics used to employ horseshoes
for want of properly made quoits, and
there are districts in which the quot
is called a 'shoe" even to this day.
This gives us the clew to the most
probable origin of the sport, and hints
that the first game of quoits was
started by throwing old horseshoes at
the hob or mark. and from this grad
ually grew up the practice of having

much for the discus legend. AS for
the word QUOT itself, it's etymology
is more than doubtful, and it gives US
no clew whatever to the origin of the
game.
Shakespeare. who mentions every
thing except tobacco, of course has
reference to the sport, and, as Hakluyt
was a contemporary of his, it may be
held to show that the spacious times,
of Great Elizabeth were the palmy
period of quoits. 1t is true that he
does not speak of the sport in very
reputable connection, for the only men,
ton of it occurs in the scene in which
Prince Henry, Falstaff, Poins and the
rest were in the Boar's Head Tavern,
in Eastchepe. Falstaff, in giving a
character sketch of the young Prince
observes that he plays quoits well, but
the context very clearly shows that in
Queen EliZabeths times at any rate
QUOT playing was looked down upon
skittles is with us. That fat Jack
Falstaff, disreputable old fellow as he
was, meant to imply no good of the
Prince by his reference to the game
is very evident. This is the only refer
ence to quoits in Shakespeare, and it
is a libel, though the sting is taken
out of it by the fact that it is put into
the mouth of Falstaff.-Physical Cult

A FRIENDLY SUIT.
Action to Recover Money Deposited
in Bank.


David Parker has sued the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank to recover 1000
deposited in said bank by Jerry Par
ker year ago. The latter assigned
his bank account to the plaintiff, but
the bank declined to pay over the
money without an order of court
The suit is an amicable one, as will
be seen by the answer filed by Devlin
& Devlin, attorneys for the bank. They
say:
Now comes the above named defend
ant, and answers the complaint of
plaintiff, as follows:
Admits the allegations contained in
paragraph / thereof, and also in para
graph thereof; but denies generally
and specifically all the other allega-
tions and averments contained in the
said complaint for the reason that it
has no information or belief upon the
subject sufficient to enable it to an
swer.
AS to the matters set forth in para
graph of the said complaint, it AYERS
that it has no information or belief
as to the same, and therefore denies
each and every allegation therein con-
taiped. Defendant admits that there
has been exhibited to it an instrument
which plaintiff. claims is legally suffi-
cient to assign and transfer the deposit
mentioned in the complaint to the
plaintiff. but this defendant is in
formed by its counsel that there is a
doubt as to the legality and sufficiency
of said assignment; and hence plaintiff
and defendant have agreed to submit
the matter to this court in a friendly
action for determination

BRANDES A BIGAMIsT.
His First Wife Swears That She
Has Never Been Divorced.

OAKLAND, Dec. S.-W. A. Brandes,
accused of the murder Of his fifteen
year-old daughter Lillian, by beating
her to death, and then alleging that she
had committed suicide, was to-day con-
fronted in court by the mother of the
dead girl, Mrs. Mary Arellanes Brandes.
She swore that she was married to
Brandes in Santa Cruz in 1882, and that
she had never been divorced. That
ended her testimony, for under the law
wife may not testify against her
husband
The relationship of this wife being
established, Brandes stands in court as
bigamist, unless he can show that
there has been no marriage with Mrs.
Eta Brandes, who is codefendant on
the murder charge.
1t is rumored that if the accused
woman is discharged at the preliminary
hearing she may turn States evidence
against Brandes.

influential Women in the East.

Fashion is a twofold movement In
its large evolution a type dominates for
some generations or so, with modifica-
tions SO slow as to be unperceived, the
result of social conditions prevailing in
the civilized world, forming the drift
that is referred to above that is hot
controlled; in its special action it is a
variation from season to season and
from day to day, a constant individual
creation on the same general theme.
This second movement is the one that
is popularity recognized. 1t is due to
woman's present social status. which
forces her to constant effort to set
herself off from other women or to
emulate other women, by her dress, as
men are forced to emulate other men,
or to distinguish themselves from the
mass of men, by force or by intellect.
The end pursued by both is singular

THE POPE AND THE sMUGGLER.
An Incident Of the Pontiff's $
Younger Days.

1t is reported that the Pope will soon
publish an important encyclical on sub
versive parties, addressed to the labor
ing and working classes, in which he
will recall them to respect for religion
and obedience to those placed over
them. Leo XIII. has remembered with
Pope Gregory XVI. when he was only
twenty Eight, and only a few weeks
after he had celebrated his first mass.
AT that time the province of Benevento,
which belonged to the Papal States, but
was almost surrounded by the terri
tory of the kingdom of Naples, was in
a much worse degree than Switzerland
now is-a nest of smugglers, brigands
and revolutionists. To put an end to
this state of things the then Monsignor
Pecci was sent there as Papal Dele
gate; that is to say, with full powers
He acted with extreme energy, once
sure of the troops at his disposal, at
tacking the leaders of the malefactors,
dispensing their bands and making
most of them prisoners. The latter,
heavily chained, were carried through
the streets as an example to the peo-
pie, and to reassure the respectable in
habitants.
In this work Monsignor Pecci was
greatly assisted by brave and intelli-
gent officers, Signor Sterbini, who be-
came his confidant, and when the ec-
clesiastic was elected Pope he nomin-
ated Sterbini as Scalo Segreto (secret
caryer), a very important position at
the Papal court, for the holder Of that
office is the only person present at the
meals of the Pontiff. Sterbini died in
1880, and his son has stepped into his
place
Monsignor Pecci had to resort to
drastic measures to stamp out snug
Cling, for it was practised and support
ed by the most prominent people of
the district; in fact, certain Marquis,

ders given by the delegate, was au-
dacious enough togo personally to
Monsignor Pecci to complain of what
he called the want of respect" shown
by the customs officers toward him.
The Pope's representative began by
treating the Marquis with courtesy,
pointing out that the laws applied
equally to all, high and low; but this
reasoning, instead of convincing the
MARQUIS, made him so angry that he
declared he would go to Rome and not
rest until he had obtained the dele
gates recall.
Very WELL" answered Monsignor

which characterized him, take your

Pecci had the castle of the Marquis
surrounded by the Pontifical troops and
every soul in it arrested. His suspic-
ions that the place was the headquar-

confirmed.-Rome correspondence of the

MUTINY ON A BRITISH SHIP.
A Captain Puts to Sea With a Ma
iority of the Crew in Irons.

s PHILADELPHIA, Dec S.-With a
majority of his crew in irons, having
mutinied, the British ship Jack Bur-
rill, Captain Robertson, hence from
Santos with 5000 tons of COAL passed
seaward to-day. Those who know Cap
tain Robertson have no fear but that
he will conquer the mutineers.
While outward bound the Burrill an
chored at Brandywine Shoals, and
while there began to leak, but only
slightly. All hands were set to work
to pump her out, and while thus en-
gagged decided to protest against going
in the ship, on the ground that she
was unseaworthy. After a most thor
ough survey the ship was pronounced
seaworthy. This was told the crew,
but still they protested. Captain Rob-
ertson faced the issue of the quarrel.
He sent to. Philadelphia for a sufi-
cient number of men TO work the ship
clear of the capes, and went out to-
day.
The crew to a man were in mutiny,
and will be kept locked up until they
agree to turn to without further

REPRESENTATIVE ROBERTS.
UTAH'S NEW CONGRESSMAN
MAY BE UNSEATED.
Women of the Country Will Make
a Determined Fight Against
the Polygamist.

. NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The "Herald"
tomorrow will say: Efforts to pre-
vent Brigham H. Roberts. Repre-
sentative-elect from Utah, from taking
his seat in the Fifty sixth Congress be-
cause he is a polygamist and advocates
that doctrine of the Mormon Church, is
to have the organized support OF hum
dreds of thousands of women in the
United States. The initial womans S
movement is to take organized form IN
this city at a meeting of the Presbyter-
ian Woman's Board of Home Missions
on December 10th.
There are a hundred thousand MEM
bers Of the Presbyterian Home Mis-
sions Society alone in the United States.
The Home Mission Societies of the Con-
gregational and Baptist Churches are
preparing to make a similar campaign
against Roberts, and the women's So
cieties of other denominations are be-
coming interested in the fight. It is
intended that all shah cooperate.
The Congregational Home Missionary
Society will take the matter up at a
meeting to be held at the ST. Denis Ho-
tel in January.
This movement is not to be confined
to missionary societies, but is to be
started through them as a convenient
way of arousing interest over the entire
country. The women are to give infor-
nation regarding the Roberts case, and
the supposed danger of the revival of
polygamy, and to unite in obtaining
personal letters to Representatives in
all districts throughout the country,
of n
avowed polygamist
Rev. VIM. S. Campbell, who has spent
twelve years in Utah among the Nor
mons, Is in New York taking an active
part in the fight against polygamy. He,
with another speaker who has lived
among the Mormons, will probably ad-
dress the coming meetings. Mr.. Camp
bell will dwell especially on the revival
of polygamy in Utah. He says that
the Presbytery of Utah is in touch
with only seventy Of the 80 postoffices
in Utah. Reports received from these
show 1000 cases of polygamy, and that
LOCO polygamist children have been
born since Utah was admitted to State
hood in 1895.
In the women's fight against Roberts
it is to be urged that if he is seated the
Mormon Church will grant dispensa-
tions to many men to take more wives.
Missionaries who have been studying
the Utah situation say that many po-
lygamists are now making arrange
ments to that end.
Mrs. Darwin r. James, President of
the Woman's Board of Home Missions,
will preside at the meeting on Decem-
Der 10th in the Presbyterian building.
