Had Miss Marie Preyorcha, of San
dusky, o., been one of the ladies of the
ballet instead of a professional nurse
she might now be $4,000 the richer,
says the Chicago Chronicle. While on
her way home one evening she stumbled
over a piece of defective sidewalk, fell
and sustained a 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-
yoncha 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 JUICY gould better
judge of the facts Miss Prevoncha
SHOULD exhibit her injured limb to the
jury.
Never" she fairly Kissed, as she
pointed her finger at the city prosecutor
:'The demand is monstrous." The
prosecutor insisted and quoted authori-
ties, and there was 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 a 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: Il am not ballet girl,
but q professional nurse, and prefer to
lose the case rather than make such an
exposure.''

BELIEVES IN suFFocATION.

Russian Sect Which Thinks Martyr
1em Necessary to- Reach Heaven.
Following upon the recent revelations
concerning the self -iim1nol ating fanatics
in the district of Tiraspol, Russia, the
newspapers now report that there is a
sect in the province Of Kazan, the mem
bers OF which advocate death by suffo-
cation, believing that Heaven can only
be gained by suffering 1nartyrdom in
this life. Consequently, says the Lon
don Daily News, when any member of
the sect is supposed to be on the point of
death, small cushion is placed over
the sufferers mouth and held there I'M
til Eutfo cation ensues, the other mem-
bers standing. around and singing
psalms. HI,
The work of suffocat ton IS usually
performed BY. an old woman, who is
raid by the sect, and who is obliged
{to attend at once when member is
dying. As, however, it would be dam
gerous to carry on these practices in
dwelling houses, the person to be suf-.
4 located is.transp ported toa secret rem
#dezFous, and, after death, is buried in
some wood or ravine, all traces OF the.
grave being carefully obliterated.

A KNOWING DOG.
Ne Had q Glass Eye and Never
Rubbed 1T Out.

He Had Glass Eye and Never
Rubbed 1t Out.
Marnaduke is dead. He was only O.
Blenheim spaniel, but he was wonder
full in his way, for he had glass eye.
He was bred by the duchess of MARI
borough, who takes a great interest
in the famous kennel. AS will occa-
sionally happen to small dogs, he tried
to show his superiority over the feline
race; but On one occasion pugnacious
cat declined to take orders from Mar
madul1e, and enforced it's refusal by
giving Marmaduke lone in the eye"
with it's claws. The result was that
Marmaduke's eye was destroyed. The
duchess then sent the spaniel to a
veterinary surgeon, to be fitted to a
glass eye, as she was especially fond
of the little fellow, and the sight Of the
empty socket was repugnant. After he
was sent back with his new eye, her
grace was made nervous by seeing his
staring artificial eye, it being just a
little previous to visit of the earl Of
Blandford, and so a home was sought
for the unfortunate little blue blood,
which was found with Miss f. L. Moore,
of Denmark Hill, near Woodstock. The
glass eye is the right one, and is ex-
actly matched to the other brown, an
mated one. Marmaduke never tried
to scratch or rub out the eye, but
seemed to understand why it was there.
He was run over by van. ~

ELEPHANT CURIOSITY. .
An Animal Which Stands with It's
Feet TInbeai@ed in Rocks.

On the Miles: Wilbur farm, less than
two miles from Palmyra, Wis, nearly
midway between Bald bluff and the
Curelian spring, on wild, rocky hill
side of the Kettle range of bluffs, may
be found huge rock known far and
near as the "stone elephant" says the
Boston Transcript.
It is annually visited by large num-
bers of people, some of whom pronounce
it a petrified elephant of monster size,
but the theory most generally believed
is that it was hewed out of the solid
rock in which it seemed imbedded CEN
turtles ago by some prehistoric race.
AS if to substantiate this latter
theory, from time to time many val
liable tools, relics and implements I'M
known to the people of this age have
been found about it's base and in that
immediate vicinity. The elephant is
about 20 feet long, six or eight feet
high, of dark gray color and weighs
hundreds of tons. The body only is
above the level Of the ground, it's legs
being deeply sunk below, holding it
nFlnly IN a Standing pOslLlOn.
A tradition believed by many is that
around this huge stone the Indians
gathered to offer sacrifices to the great
spirit and burn their prisoners at the
stake, or make them the victims of
slow torture known only to the In
dams. 1t is a long established and gen
orally believed theory that in this i'm
mediate vicinity and about Bald bluff
and the Big springs were some Of their
most famous battle fields and hunting
grounds.

The Populist Convention.


The Peoples party county conven lion
held at the court house last Saturday
afternoon was the most harmonious and
enthusiastic event OF the kind that has
ever taken place in Cook county. It was
representative gathering of citlzsns
from the various parts of the county
who had come here for the sole purpose
of placing in nomination men in whose
hands the affairs of the county might best
be entrusted. In reality it was not a
political convention, bnt a business con-
ventlon, conducted on business principles
an the business ir terests of Cook county.
1t was q convention that any party in
any community might we'll be proud Of,
and its work on that day will, without
doubt, be endorsed by the citizens at the
polls on Nov. 9th. so:
The Peoples motto: "We Trust Our
selves" was endorsed by the conyep ton
by the placing in nomination of none
but Cook county people who have made
for themselves hone here and who are
personally interested in the county's
welfare. By their action they put the
stamp of their disapproval on the idea
that a fisherman, farmer. publisher or
other business man, who, by perseverance
p I'd economy, is enabled to exc out an
existence, should not be given public
Office. Instead, they endorsed the idea
that the Affairs of the county should be-
entrusted to those whose interests are
identical with those of the county; those
who have settled here with the Intention
of making Cook county their future
home, and whose labor and earnings are
expended in a manner which adds to the
wealth and prosperity of the county and
its citizens.
The candidates nominated by the
Peoples convention are too we'll known
by the people of the county to require
special personal mention by US: Their
lives here, whether official or private,
constitute more eloquent recommen-
dation than We could utter. Suffice it to
say, that, unbiased by self interest, we
believe that the ticket is composed of
men who, without an exception, are
capable Of filling the positions for which
they are named, and who, when elected,
will conduct their respective Offices with
put fear or favor, and in the best inter-
ests of the county. They are all bona
fide residents Of the county who have
resided here for years and who have the
best interests of the county at heart.
We confidently expect that. the citi-
zens Of the county will, through the
ballot box, on November 9Th. express
their approval of the action taken by
the Peoples Party county convention
on Saturday last.

& Queen Victoria has given orders that
the old state apa rtnents in Kensington
palace, which have long been disused,

public inde fnitely says the New York
Mail and Express. Nine rooms will be
renovated, among them the bedropmsin
which her majesty was sleeping on the
memorable June morning nearly 81
years ago when the news. came to her;
that the archbishop OF Cante rbury was
waiting in the council chamber to tell
her that she was sovereign. of one of
the great ldngd oms Of the world. 81
All these nine rooms arc denuded of
furniture and almost knee deep with
dust. The ballroom in the Denmark
wing, where the men and women of the:
aristocraey held high revel for two CEN
turtles, has been found a handy place
for tucking away things which were
not wanted elsewhere, and. it looks like
a regular junk shop. Rusty barrel or
gans, broken down tables, unseated
chairs and pictureless frames lie on the
floor in heaps, and over these hangs in
ragged strips, as though to cover the
desolation, the tapestry which former
1y decked the walls, striking illustra-
ton of the "base uses to which royal
palace may come. go *.
Another of the rooms to be restored
is Sir Christopher Wren's famous ban
quoting hall. The chamber in which
the queen was born will not be opened
to the genral public, but admission may
be gained by special order from the
lord chancellor. In this room, which
has been kept in order, a brass plate has
been placed, inscribed: "In this room
