SHE KEEP HER NERVE.

"a certain physician" say the Cri-
terion, had a large Toepler-Ho ma
chine which ave a spark like a young
streak of lightning. His wife was much
interested in it ana watched the doctor
manipulate it until she fancied herself
master of the apparatus. One day a
party of friends called when the doctor
was out, and the good wife seized the
opportunity of paralyzing them With her
knowledge of science. She was a very
dignified woman Of pOrtly presecne, and
after leading them into the office, she
began her explanation with all the inn
presisveness os a lecturer. She spoke
brifly of the preliminary manipulation of
the machine. And, them she said, lay
ing her hand upon one connection, the
electricity goes from here to here where
upon an angry white spark leaped out
from the brass ball indicated, with a re-
port like a horse pistol, and smote her
upon the extended finger, causing her to
sit upon the loor with a violence that
shook the window Danes. The guests
stood round in eXpectant attitudes,
looking at their fallen hostess in pardon
able surprise. Only for a moment did
that capable woman leave them in doubt:
There she said in the most matter-of-
fact way, as though events had simply
followed the usual course, you see how it

Forty eighth street, and cooked my own
meals.
Last Monday I found myself with less
than SO cents and no food. 1t was a
~frightful day to go out, but I felt that
it was imperative for me to find work at
once, so l cut out some advertisements
for servants, pasted twenty Of these
slips upon a piece Of paper ard started on
my search.
II a selected places near together so
that I should not waste car fare in get
ting from one house to another. l took
with me but 10 cents, fearing that if l
carried my entire little capital 1 might
lose or be tempted to spend it.
Il had chosen Harlem as a fruitful
field for my operations, so boared a train
at the Forty-second-street station of the
Ninth avenue elevate road and went to
One Hundred and Sixteenth street. Then
1 began my battle against poverty, in
which the very elements seemed to con
spire against me. l went from house to
house, meeting everywhere with disap-
pointment.
II had little experience and no refer
ences, so one door after another was
closed against me.
II was we'll nigh desperate. 1t was bit
terly cold and the driving snow and sleet
seemed to chill me to the bone and ma
terially add to the dreary prospect be-
fore me.
1T grew dark. I was almost dead with
fatigue and decided hat l must give up
the search for that day. I was too cold
and tired to go any further, so l STUN
bled up the steps of the first elevated
station 1 came to and sank exhausted
into a seat of the ear. 1t was not very
warm wen on the train, but a blessed
contrast to the temperature outside.
THE comfort of the car and my fatigue
overcame me and I dropped into a deep
sleep, from which l was only partially
aroused by the guard calling Park sta
tom I did not notice the name of the
station, and, indeed, was only half awake
when, with a vague idea that this was
my destination, 1 hurried from the car
and down the steps to the street. Here
I soon saw my mistake, but had no
knowledge of my whereabouts. I asked
a policeman and received the information
that I was over five miles from home.
Ordinarily I should not have minded the
distance, as 1 am a good walker, but now
the prospect was appalling.

felt almost overcome by the cold and
binding storm. My feet were numb and
heavy as cad and my head felt light and
giddy. 1 struggled along for a time,
however, stopping in a drug store When-
ever I found one to get a bit warmed and
rested. After a while there seemed to be
no more of those Ravens of refuge. Row
after row of dark. closed stores froWned
down upon me. 1 felt that l could go
no farther, and in the midst of my con-
fusion and misery concluded that l must
beg 5 cents for car fare. l ~endeavored to
stop the first man who passed me, but
he pushed me aside and hurried on. After
a long while I met a woman and felt a
glad throb of relief as I thought, Here,
surely, 1 shall find help
Il touched her arm and began to say
a few words, when with a look of fear
and alarm she, too, brushed me aside and
hurried on.
Il now felt that there was no help for
me-. 1t was bitter to ask for aims at any
rate and now 1 foun it of no use.
"Soon 1 became frightened. The air
was one white whirl of n which cut
my face like fiery needles and seemed
to pierce my body through and through.
II wondered if I should die in the cold
and afterward be buried as an unknown
in Potter's Field.
"The drifting n clogged my steps
and often / fell, regaining my feet with
ever increasing difficulty.
Soon my head, hands and feet throb-
bed as from fire. 1 was cold nc longer
and if 1 walked was unconscious Of
movement. An oppressive feeling of great
weight and utter misery p~ervaded my en-
tire body.
Now 1 wondered if I had hands and
feet. I did not feel them. Oh, how tired
l was! l seemed to be battling gains
an overwhelming force and always pulled
ackwa by leaden chains.
Pretty soon fantastic visions passed
across my eyes. L laughed aloud at
some of the quaint conceits which filled
my brain.
Il am going to die, 1 thought. How
funny! 1 wonder if 1 shall be with the
sheep or the goats! And again I laughed
at what SCENE to me an inexpressibly
humorous situation.
One idea now possessed me. I must
sleep. No, I thought with a CLEAN Of
returning reason, that means death-the
sleep of death.
II saw the lights of a saloon just ahead.

HOW IT FEELS TO FREEZE ALMOST
TO DEATH.

On Monday. February IS, the day Of
New York's great snow storm, Kate Wer-
ner, a young and pretty Canadian girl of
good family and education, narrowly es-
capped death from freezing in the storm
on the streets of New York.
She saw a reporter of the World a few
days after her thrilling experience and
consented to tell her story for %publica-
ton.
IF my unfortunate experience may
deter other girls from coming to a great
city without money or employment, I am
very glad to tell it," said Miss Werner.

my weary quest for work. l took a little

A NEW PRINCESS.
What seemed to me the smartest gown
of the five was a Princess of maize color
India silk of heavy quality. The neck was
cut square, ana was finished with gold
embroidery which was s%colloped Just like
real trimming. The scolloped effect was
repeated upon the side of the gown. This
was extremely chic and original. The
back of the bodice and sides were covered
with tulle traced with gold threads and
other little designs outlining circles of
goodly size.
The sleeves fit the arms very tight, and
had ruf11es of the fancy tulle around the
hands. Ruff1es OF this E.rd make the
hands look smaller. the French think;
and indeed it would seem so.
Slippers invariably match the gown, in
color if not in material and design. All
should correspond, if possible, even to the
very small accessories of dress.

Alex Mitchell Sues F. A. Nash to Re-
cover $4,000.

ALLEGED THE HUSBAND Is AN
HABITUAL DRUNKARD.
Wife Also Sets Up Cruelty-Burglar
Churchill Sentenced to Two Years
In the State Prison-Morris Bril-
cry Case In the Supreme Court
Short Orders and Notes.

The latest development in the trouble
between Alex Mitchell formerly gen.
eral agent Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, in this city, and
Fred A. Nash, general western agent
of the same company with headquar-
tiers at Denver, is a $4,000 damage suit
brought by the former against the lat
ter for alleged defamation of charac-
ter. The complaint was signed yester-
day by Mr.. Mitchell, and will probably
be filed in the district court today by
his counsel, j. d. Pardee.
In the complaint the plaintiff alleges
that on or about the month of Septem-
Der, 1891, at Salt Lake City, the defend
ant, in u certain discourse which he
then had concerning the plaintiff in the
presence and hearing of divers persons,
spoke and published concerning the
plaintiff the words following: He sold
half fare permits of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway"
1t is alleged that these words are
false, and that in consequence of said
words the plaintiff is greatly injured in
his good name and reputation, and has
been rendered liable to prosecution for
embezzlement to his damage in the sum
of $4,000.
In the second cause of action it is
alleged that the plaintiff was employed
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway as a commercial agent, with
headquarters at Salt Lake City and
was earning a salary of $125 per month;
that on or about October, 1897, the de-
PENDANT in the presence and hearing of
the officials Of said railway company,
and other persons, maliciously and with
intent to cause it to be believed, spoke
and published concerning the plaintiff
the following words: He has been
drinking and gambling again"
The plaintiff alleges that said words
are false, and that by reason of said
words so spoken the said railway COM
pany discharged the plaintiff from its
employ from and after Nov. 1. 1897,
and whereby the plaintiff has suffered
a great injury in his good name and
reputation, and suffered great mental
anguish to his damage in the sum Of
$1,000
Wherefore the plaintiff prays judg-
ment against the defendant for $1,000 in
each of the causes of action, and such
other relief as shall be just, and costs
of suit.

Legislature Adopts and Transmits an Appropriate
Resolution to the Utah Volunteers.
In the Afternoon the Minority FilibuSered Over Senator
Cannon and Representative Crosby

I Representatives Parry and Jackson and
Senator Whitney, the special commit
tee appointed on Monday to prepare a
resolution expressing the states ap-
probation of the services of Utah's gal
liant sons now in Manila, recommended
the following sentiments. the reading
OF which was greeted with generous ap-
plause:
Resolved, by the governor and leg
1slature and the state of Utah, that the
thanks OF this commonwealth are due
and are hereby rendered to the officers
and men Of Batteries A and B, Utah
light artillery, for the gallant conduct
displayed by them in the several en-
Sagements in the Philippines. Utah,
in unison with her sister states, blends
with tears of grief for the fallen, songs
Of rejoicing for the heroes who survive
to tell the tale of Valor and of vic
tory"
After the resolution was adopted it
was the sense Of the assembly that the
resolution be signed by Governor Wells,
President Nebeker on behalf of the
senate and by Speaker Roylance for the
house of representatives, and that
copy be telegraphed to Colonel Richard
W. Young, commanding the Utah vol
unteers in Manila, the expense of the
message TO be paid out of the legisla-
lures contingent fund.
THE TRIBUNE REBUKED AGAIN.
Another diversion was afforded when
Representative Robinson arose to a
question of personal privilege and di-
rected attention to an article in yes
terday's Tribune purporting to relate
Republican club meeting, wherein it
was reported that a resolution had
been adopted demanding that Senator
Frank j. Cannon resign his seat and
opposing his candidacy for reelection
because of his alleged immoral conduct
on recent occasion.
The portion of the published article
objected to was read by Mr.. Robinson
and was:
Mrs. Arthur Brown insisted that the
appointment of a committee to inves-
tigate the charges against Senator
Cannon was unnecessary, since the
matter had been investigated by the
Republican members of the legislature,
and Mrs. Joseph u. Robinson, wife of
the representative, was present to re-
port the findings"
Commenting upon the publication,
Representative Robinson said:
That article is a base fabrication.
made out of whole cloth. There has
been no investigation of Senator Can
mons conduct by the Republican men,
berS Of the legislature. There have
been no findings, and no one has been
elegated-neither my wife nor anyone
else-to report any findings No such
remark was made by Mrs. Brown as
