fion of society just now, says the Lon
don Daily Chronicle. A young lady of
rank, who is engaged to be married to
an officer serving in India, reeently had
her photograph taken by leading LON
don photographer before going out to
India to be married. To her horror,
when the photographs were sent home,
there was plainly to be seen standing
behind herin very menacing attitude
the phantom image of her fancet The
young lady WAS photographed no less
than three times under apparently Or
binary circumstances. but each time the
same form is said to have appeared on
the negative. The prospective bride
has postponed her departure until in
quirles can be made regarding this
singular affair.

ON A JOCKEYS BADGE.
He Was Six Feet Tall and Weighed
200 Pounds, But His Nerve
Was Good

I'm one of the newspaper eomposin1-
rooms in this city there is a typesetting
machine operator who is a great lover
of horse racing. A good share of his
wages goes to the bookmaker s at the
local tracks during the racing season,
although for some reason he never ac-
quired the poolroom habit, and has al
ways refused to put down bet unless
he was "there to see how the dogs ran."
He is fully six feet tall, and weighs
about 200 pounds. His size suggested
a joke to one of his friends during the
racing season last summer. saws the
New York Sun.
Going to Sheepshead Bay to-day?"
the friend asked

much left to bet with
'Ican give. you a Jockeys badge" said
the friend
Gimme it," replied the printer, Gag
erly, never realizing the ridiculous con-
trast between his size and that of even
the heavy weight Jockeys. Armed with
the Jockeys badge. he presented him
self at the racetrack gate and showed
his badge. The ticket tal1er looked at
him in astonishment

phant?''

paralyZed the gatekeeper that he was
admitted.

THE QUEENS WEALTH.
Victoria NalI Be the First English
Sovereign to Leave Amy

Her majesty, Queen Victoria, will be
the first sovereign of England who ever
had any money to leave to her family.
All Of her predecessors Oh the throne
bequeathed a choice assortment of
debts to their Tsosterity, which par1ia-
ment was called upon to make the peo-
pie pay. But while our queen permit
ted us to be taxed for the private obli-
cations of George ". and William ~,
she herself paid all the debts of her
father, the dukeeof Kent
There is food for much speculation as
80 the disposition of her maiesty's inn
znense property. The bulk of it will, of
ecpurse. go to the prince of Wales, and
it has been asserted that the best es-
,tafes are entailed upon the queens sue
;ee@sors with the condition that they
shall not be nortgaged or alieniated in
any way. The palace at Osborne will
probably be given to the queens fav-
orite daughter, Princess Beatrice, who
rs also expected to inherit the fortunes
OF TIE Empress Eugene.

--Dun's Review for the week end

first quarter of 1899 were in number
2.772 against 1867 last year, and the
liabilities $27, 152,031 against $685.
GAG, 565, a decrease of 17.6 per cent
Geographical aspects make the return
peculiar; with a slight increase of
defaults in New England, an increase
OF Is per cent. in the Southeast, and
20 per cent. in the Central states,
there was decrease of nearly 40 per
cent. in the Pacific and Southwestern
states, Al per cent. in Western states,
and 48 per cent. in Middle states.
No other year of the twenty-four
covered by Dun's quarterly reports
has shown as small failures during it's
first quarter excepting 1880 and 1881,
and no other except 1880 and 1886 as
small liabilities per failure. The
average of defaulted liabilities per
firm in business, only $22.19, is
smaller than in the first quarter of
any year except 1880, and the ratio
Of defaulted liabilities to solvent pay
ments through clearing houses, only
SLIP per 81, 900, is also the lowest for

BY SURGERY.
Any Criminal 'CHn So Alter Himself
in Stature ass to Entirely Defy
Recognition.

One of q party Of gentlemen lounging
in the Office of well-known New Or
leans physician few evenings ago
propounded "a, curious question, apro-
pos of a conversation which had taken
turn toward the bizarre, says the New
Orleans Times.Democrat.
Doctor he said, wouldn't it be pos
sible for man who had committed
some crime, for instance, and who had
strong motives for concealing his idenr
tity, to permanently alter his whole APP
pearance by modern surgical meth
ods?''
Certainly" replied the doctor. HE
could easily reduce his height, to begin
with, by the removal of a couple of sec
tions of bone from his. legs. The opera
ton is often performed in ordinary
surgery, and a man who was, say five
feet eight, would look very different
when only five feet six. But he could
be changed hey ond recognitionb work
on the face alone. His forehead could
be made high and bold by the. electric
needle. His ears could be made to
stand out or lie fiat. just as he desired,
and his nose nodded into any shape
from pug to a high Roman. The en-
tire expression of the mouth can be
altered by putting deep wrinkles in
each corner, and the eyes equally trans
formed by modifying the general direc-
ton OF the brows. All the operations
would be of minor character, and two
months would be sufficient for the job
At the end of that time mans own
mother wouldn't know him, and he
could revisit the scene of his err ne with
impurity. The thing is perfectly feast
bic, theoretically, but fortunately a
few little things stand in the way OF
its practical operation-such things as
time and money, and the difficulty OF
finding secluded quarters and sl1illful
surgeon willing to lend himself to the
scheme"
