RIDING ON A DOOR

The Steed Which . Cyclone Furnished an
Impromptu Traveller.
Christian Van den Harvner, familiar.
II known in Celina, o., as Cyclone.
Johnny, is perhaps the only man living.
that enjoys the unique distinction Of
having ridden q cyclone astride a house
door fora distance Of over quarter Of
mile. This remarkable feat was per-
formed not as matter Of choice, but.
perforce Of necessity by the above nam
ed person when the cyclone swept across
Celina in May, 1856. z.s
Cyclone Johnny's description Of the
cyclone is graphic and thrilling. He
was living at the time eight miles west
Of Celina, and on the night Of the cy-
clone he and Mr.. Bryan's family were
watching the raging Of the storm in the
west. The electric display was wonder
full, and to him it seemed as though the
world was about to come to an end by
fire. The flashes were SO brilliant that
the eyes could not Withstand them. The
family became alarmed and decided to
60 to the cellar for safety. The cellar
was directly underneath the porch, on
the west side Of the house, and Harvner
assisted in getting the children to this
place of safety, and he was the last one
to leave the house Just as he stepped
upon the porch and before he released
his hold upon the doorknob the storm
swept down upon him in all its fury
He went sailing through the air, over
the tops Of trees, the uppermost branch
es of which tore his clothes from his
body. The gait he travelled was terrific,
and it seemed but a second from the
time he started until he found himself
safely dropped into a large field unin-
jured, save for the scratches inflicted
upon him as he sailed over the top Of the
trees. This field was little over quar-
ter Of a mile from Mr.. Bryan's house,
and Harvner wandered around in the
darkness and driving rain until he met
a searching party, among whom was

LOVED LIFE TOO WELL.
Ancient Natchez Indian Who Rebel1e6
r. Against Being Sacrificed. II

FL. Against Being Sacrificed. =!
One Of the repulsive features of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when mem
Der Of the royal family of the nation
died it was necessary that several others
Of the people should accompany him to
the tomb by suffering death at the
hands Of executioners. When the
s'great sum- the hereditary chief of
the whole nation, died, all his wives,
in case he were provided with more
than one, and also several of his sub
jects, were obliged To follow him into
the vale of shadows. The little suns -
secondary chiefs, and also members of
the royal family, likewise claimed,
when dying, their tribute of death from
the living. In addition to this, the in
exorable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married a girl of the royal line of the
suns. :" On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
a Il will narrate to you upon this sub
ject,' writes an old French chronicler
Of Louisiana, "the story Of an Indian
who was not in a humor to submit to
this law. His name was Etteacteal. He
had contracted an alliance with the
suns The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
fight, embarking in a pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought refuge in New
Orleans. He placed himself under the
protection Of the governor, who was at
that time NJ. de zBienville, offering him
self to be the governors hunter. The
governor accepted his services, and in
terested himself in his behalf with the
Natchez, who declared, in answer, that
he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the
ceremony was over, and as he had not
been present when it took place he was
no longer available as candidate for
}executi ion. - New Orleans Picayune

Flower Painters.

About the last literary work complet-
ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was
a beautiful tribute to Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose published in
The Woman's Home Companion, in
which she says:
As rule, women make the best
flower painters. The men who excel in
this branch Of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small,
number Of artists Of both sexes who
have acquired reputation IN the pictur-
ing Of flowers. The reason is not diff
cult to see. The average woman has a
fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her to appreciate and I'M
Aderstand them as men seldom do Ia
I the Interpretation Of certain subtle
phases Of floral life her sensitive tenn
permanent and the peculiarly sympathetic
feeling that she is apt to bring to her
labor Of love especially qualify her for
engaging ia this Department Of picture
making In point Of technical ability
Hrome arvelously clever work has been
& done BY artists Of the gentler sex in the
I reproduction Of flowers and in the
( treatment Of difficult sub ects. q

 ciety.
 The popular dry goods firm, The Ed ward Malley Co.,, has added new and plesant feature to it's big store in the ..Palm Tea Room,' which will be open cd to-day for the first time. It is the in tention to make this room a place where ladies who are shopping can rest and if they so desire, can obtain cof- fee. tea, cocoa, chocolate and llght re- treatments. A room secluded from the main department of the store on the first floor has been handsomely htted up in the style of the Italian renaissance and painted in the lighter shades or green and gold, the effect being stlli further heightened by the artistic ar rangement of potted plants and palms.

Several fancy edibles, new to New Haven, may also be obtained Among these may be noted the toasted crunpeter made by Pursell, the N. Y. caterer who stands at the head of all crumpet makers. Fruit glare, dellght- ful combination of fresh fruit and ice The room is something after the style of the Waldorf-Astoria tea room or the French patissesie, and is bound to be- come popular with lady shoppers.
 The gross receipts of the room for the first two days will be donated to the Mothers Aid society. The company Is desirious that the ladies of New Haven cooperate with them in aiding this good work.
 Among other holiday features of this store are a full grown Santa Claus, with reindeers and sleigh Jack and the Rean Stalk and tableaux for the chil, dren presented every half hour.

 Rollfn s. Woodruff to be Governors

OOun w. AOWe, 1suaC M. UiImnn and Rolltn s. Woodruff to be Governors Aids.
 South Norwalk, Dec Ex-Governor
 elect George F. Lounsbury this morning
 announced the following appointments
 on his staff:
 Paymaster general-Heman o. Aver ill of Washington.
 Commissary general-John w. At wood of Plainfield.
 Aides, John w. Lowe of New Haven, Isaac M. Ullman of New Haven, Rollin S. Woodruff of New Haven. The balance of the appointments will probably be made before the close of the week.
 John w. Lowe of this city has been a
 prominent republican politician here for several years and was Lounsbury
 man in the preliminary canvas of the | last campaign. He is an ex-member of the Grays and a present member of the Governors Foot Guard. He was on the staff of Colonel Doherty of the Second regiment as paymaster, with rank of | lieutenant. He has always been a re- | publican in politics and has served his ward three times in the court of com- mon council. He was first elected in | 1888 and again in 1889 as councilman. | He has been vice president of the l Young Mems Republican club and of | the Connecticut Republican league, He | conducts a drug store at 534 Howard 1 avenue, and is a prominent member of
 the State and National Association of
 Druggists, having been a delegate from
 this state to the recent national conven- | tion of druggists. Colonel Lowe was
 candidate for the position of paymaster | general, which was given to Herman o. | Averill, who was in the senate with the l governor-elect in 1895.
 1 Isaac M. Ullman is one of the most prominent republican leaders in New 1 Haven and is also well known as a l business man, being a member of the ! firm of Strouse, Adler & Go. of this city, one of the largest corset manufac- | turing firms in the world. He has been | active in his work for the party in | every campaign local, state and na- l tional, for several years, and his ener- | getic efforts in this line have been at- | tended with remarka ble success. The 1 organization which he has perfected in his own ward, the Sixth, is probably l one of the best to be found in the State, l and his ability in organizing party ef-
 forts has been generally recognized as 1 of the highest order. He managed the
 canvass for John Addison Porter in
 New Haven last fall, and it was largely 1 due to his leadership that the Porter | forces went into the convention with
 nearly a solid delegation from this city
 Rollin S. Woodruff is a business part
 ner of C. s. Mersick, state treasurer elect. MT Mersick and other influen-
 tial republicans, urged his appointment.
