The Pennsylvania is preparing to
build an engine somewhat similar to
the big class H-5 now in use, but larger
and more powerful. Although able to
haul an almost endless train of cars.

srects, and the faults of the engine are
to be remedied in the new locomotive.
The H-5 engines have 56-inch driving
wheels. and 1t is said that the new en-
gineS will have drivers OF about the
same size with possibly little increase.
The present big engines have 23kx2S-
inch cylinders, but the new style loco

The new engine, it is said, will weigh

A Woman Highway Robber.

According to recent report from
Russia, there is professional highway
woman in that country, whose name is
given as Barbara Damieria. She is
said to be dashing and beautiful, and
ride like centaur. In describing her
craftsmanship the statement is mad !,
that she can scallop the edge of a tiny
Russian coin with rifle bullets at any
range within sight. She is also dis
tinguished for her coVrtly manners
and, like all famous highwaymen, she
robs only the rich, giving literally IT,
the poor. She avoids all possibility of
the shedding of blood, and, although
she wears mems clothes, her voice and
beauty declare her TO be a woman. The
people in the neighborhoe in which
she carries OF her trade are enthus-
iastic in their praise of this woman

UNLUcKY CHINESE EDITORS.
The Tyrannicnl Empress Has sap
pressed All Newspapers In
the Empire.

Empress TIE Hsi has suppressed all
newspapers in China. There were So,
though of these those in foreign hands
cannot be stopped. The imperial de-
cree of October was as follows: las
newspapers only serve to excite the
masses to subvert the present order OF
things, and the editors concerned come
from the dregs of the literary classes,
TO good can be served by the continue
ton of such dangerous instruments,
and we hereby command the entire
suppression and sealing up Of all news
papers published within the empire,
while the editors connected with them
are to be arrested and punished with
the utmost severity of the law"
Now, with four or five exceptions,
these papers have been very well con-
Quoted, and certainly in some cases
Chinese editors may take rank among
''quite the best people in China" One,
who was merely the editor OF local
paper till then had been tutor to the
children of Chang Chin Tung, the one
incorruptible viceroy. Yet these men,
ard for no other offense than that of
being newspaper editors, are TO be pun
ished with the utmost severity of the
law. and this by the arbitrary win of
a woman, hated throughout China, who
has summarily deposed her adopted son
and made herself ruler in his place.
Kang, the modern sage, who has only
escaped beheading through the pro-
lection of an English man-of-war, begs
the English people to take steps for
the protection of the relatives of one
of these editors, LANG, the editor Of
Chinese Progress. He has himself es-
capped into hiding somewhere or other,
but by Chinese usage all the relations
of a criminal are reckoned criminals,
even to the ninth degree; and Mr..
Liang's foster mother, aunt, uncle,
brother and nephew have been seized
by the officials. Mr.. Hangs own whole
family fed in the night from their
home across the Pearl river, at Canton,
before officials arrived TO seize them;
though how whole clan can succeed
in remaining hidden it is difficult to
understand, unless under the protec-
ton of the British flag at Hong Kong.
His brother, of course, was among the
first six leaders beheaded at Peking.-.

DRApEs THE WEDDING VEIL.
A French Artist Who Devotes HIS Tai

There is a man in New York = u
Frenchman, of course-who devo.es his
artistic fingers and brain TO deftly ar
ranging the wings or flowers in his
customers bonnets and hats or to drap-
ing the louy tulle veil that envelopes
the blushing brides of the season. A
recent visit to the Frenchman's studio
taught us many things hitherto I'M
known in our philosophy of clothes.
Our ring was answered by small page
In livery, who ushered US into beau
tifully artistic room, with rare bits Of
carved Dutch furniture and gobelin
tapestries. About the room were odd
fances of brass and rare bits of china.
The door was presently opened and a
tall, sinuous woman in long, cling
ing black gown enters and informs us:
''Mr. lie Blanc is a. present engaged
in arranging a wing in Nine. Astor-

trousseau his interest increases per-
ceptibly. We are conducted into a
little apartment hung with seductive
mirrors and softened lights, where even
Medusa herself would find a becoming
bonnet. We are soon deep in the mys-
teries of deciding and buying dear to
o v-oman's heart, but still dearer when
we found small fortune tied in de-
licious little bow. After severa, selec-
tons were made, monsieur, viewing
with an artistic eye every turn of the
head and droop of a feather, asked who
would adjus; mademoiselle's veil. Upon
her replying, the modiste who made her
gown-"Mademoiselle is rather fer

"Quite six feet" Monsieur throws up

prediction. my little friend sank into a
chair and implored monsieur to save
her from such fate. Size was placed
in front of mirror and swathed in
folds of white satin, while monsieur
studied the effects of lights and shades.

then draped by monsieur's skilled

with papers, while the young woman,
at this moment more dazed than fright
ened, stood with her profile toward the
door. Neither had heard Jacks En-
trance, and he dropped quickly into >
chair near the door. The room was
poorly lighted, but he could see that
many of the papers on the desk were
fresh bank checks and also billheads OF
many different kinds.
The man took up blank bank check
and held it, with well-inked pen,
toward the young woman.
"The cabman said your father was
hurt, did he? Well, that's mistake.
Write this check to your husbands
name and will let you CO."
"My husbands name" the young
woman repeated; will that do you any
good?"
"Yes, certainly; be quick about it, too,

"Scoundrel!" repeated the man.
"Where is my pistol? Where is my re-

Jack sprung at him, held him at bay
as easily as he had the cabman's jaded
horse, and drew bottle from his
pocket.
Keep quiet" he cried, cor here is
something that will go off more easily
than pistol or revolver!" And he
swung the bottle containing the clear
fluid near the mans head.
Heaven help mel" cried the man,
collapsing into little maudlin heap,
'it's nitroglycerin! Help! help."
Jack grasped the man still more vig-
orously and turned to the young wom-
an. "Now's your time; run and tell
that light-haired boy out there to bring
a policeman, please"
The young woman sprung through
the door, there was another scuffle and

was a silence broken by the tread of
heavy feet coming along the passage
way.
"The policeman is remarkably
prompt" thought Jack, not being able
in his position of holding down his man
to see who had entered the room.
''We're obliged to you, sir" said one
man at his elbow, while another slipped
q pair of handouts over the prisoners
hands. This has been very annoy
ing case; an escaped lunatic, you know,

money on checks obtained on false pre-
lenses. We have been trying to capture
him for the last three weeks, but he
mas kept us on the wrong scent till this
morning, when cabman-"

said Jack, indignantly, releasing the
now handcuffed man and rising to his
feet, "a man that"

cried the handcuffed prisoner, whom
for the moment everyone had forgot

MRS. Blount," repeated the young
woman, with an irresistible laugh, in
the midst of her nervousness and reac-
ton; ''do you mean the Mrs. Blount
who gave Tabatha the new public liz
hkary? Mol No! / am not that Mrs.
Blount nor anyone!"
"Allow me to see you safely home"
said Jack, hiding an odd look in his eyes
under the severest dignity.
IF you win, please" she answered,
simply. 81 won't feel safe till I'm out
of this dreadful part of the city"
So it came about that Jack never
mentioned his complaint against the ir-
responsible money-seeker, and that his
next letter to his father was this:
