large tribal record for a considerable
distance back, and none noticed the
alarmed countenance of the hostess a.
the talk progressed. The hostess made
many Intellectual efforts to signal the
conversation to a standstill; likewise.
she unavailingly endeavored to side
track the large family theme. But 1t
was no 60, and It was finally up to
her guest from the west" to set forth
the numerical contributions Of her an
cestors to previous censuses. When
the question was put to her directly.
she exhibited nary finch, but, smil-
ing languidly. remarked: y
II am the youngest Of II daughters
and IS brothers"
'Tmpossiblew exclaimed all Of the
women except the hostess, who con-
templated the figures on her fan with
drawn, dreary smile.
"Not at ALL" replied the guest. You
are perhaps unaware that l was born

women. "Quite so"
Then the hostess experienced no DIFF

Nowadays when women are try

that many things are over-done. 1t is
not strange that there are all kinds of
physical and mental disturbances. If
the woman who is doctor, or a law
yer, or a journalist, or in business
would not try to be society woman
too it might be different; but the wo-
man who knows when she has done a
days work has yet to be born. Usual
ly woman's way is to keep doing I'M
til she drops. Working in this way
has manifested evils. The most COM

The hearing in the suit Of Henry H.
Green against the Western Union Telegraph
Company, to recover $4O0. the value OF
eight shares of New Era Mineral Company
stock, was begun yesterday before Justice
Bradley in Circuit Court No. q
The claim is based on the allegation that
the Western Union Telegraph Company
made an error in the transmission of d
telegram from the plaintiffs agent, VIII
liam NJ. Yeager TO him in reference to the
purchase of premises No. 514 Third street,
in this city
At the time. April T. 1897. it is alleged
that the plaintiff. Green, was in Richmond,
Va Through his agent. Yeager, he was
negotiating for the purchase of the prop
erty referred 10. 1t was offered by the
owner for one hundred and ten shares OF
the New Era Mineral Company Green,
however, did not authorize Yeager TO give
more than one houndred shares. Think
ing it a good bargain at one hundred and
ten shares Yeager, however, so informed
Green, stating that he could get the prop
erty for one hundred and ten shares Of
the stock
The telegram received by Green, howev-
er. stated that the property could be pur-
chased for one hundred and two shares OF
stock, and he Immediately telegraphed his
agent, Yeager, TO close the deal and get
abstract of title. When the contract for
purchase money was presented to Green, it
then developed that the amount agreed
upon as the price for the property was
one hundred and ten shares Of stock.
The plaintiff is represented by Baker,

by j. H Ashton.
