Of cruelty and maltreatment, perpe-

old, a citizen of Balm township, seven

The perpetrators of the crime are six
negro boys from u to 20 years old.
Sunday afternoon, while Miss Cur
reIl was en- route to the home of
neighbor, she was assaulted by these
negroes with sticks and clubs and
beaten into insensibility. Her screams
attracted the attention of a passer- by,

brutal affairs that ever occurred in this
section of the state.

summarily dealt with.

A Curious window Exhibit.

From the New Orleans Times SDemocrat.)
.'Funny things happened TO me when | was
working for Blankerty Blank & Co., in Chicago
said a New Orleans window dresser 81 had
big window on Clark Street that seemed as If
it was hoodooed. No matter what I put there,
il appeared to be impossible 10 attract attention
and the manager, who was keen a hawk, be-
gan to grurnble because he never saw anybody
looking in i used to lay awake nights rscking
my brain over new schemes but it was no 60
One day, when i feeling pretty blue, l told
our negro porter to clear everything out pre-
paratory to making big display OF a special
line of shirts. He was a fat, black, trifing fell
low, and ! guess he must have been out to
cakewak the night before, for he fell fast asleep
in chair in the middle of the window l was
on the point of waking him up, and giving him
fits, when l happened to notice how extremely
ludcrous he looked. His head was on one side
relaxed in the oldest postures imaginable; in
short he was perfect picture of lazy rascal
in happy sumber.
THAT gave me an idea didn't say a word,
but grabbing piece of pasteboard, | dashed off
a sign: Dreaming Of Our Dollar Shirts and stood
it quietly against his knees. Then ! gently rolled
up the curtain and awaited developments Well,
the hit that window made is the pet tradition of
the store to this day. People simply blockaded
the sidewalk, and you could hear them laughing
block away. The funniest part about il was
that nobody supposed for 4 moment il could pos
sibly he the real thing. They thought it clever
piece of acting, or else wonderful wax figure.

away peacefully until nearly 4 O'Clock. Then he

spectators howled, and that night the house

charged with water and with various gas
es, all of which are probably intimately
combined with the molten mass under the
great pressure which exists below, and in
many cases aid materially In giving ii
fuidity, but as the lava aseends and the
pressure is thus removed, assume the gas
eous state and escape.
One result Of this process appears in the
very fluid lava OF the great crater OF Kill
auea, in Hawaii, where a surface Of molten
lava 1000 feet In diameter is sometimes
In active ebuilition, rising in Jets of great
height, while the projected portions hard
en- into CLASSY substance But il. as Is
generally the case, the lava is in state
of less perfect fusion, it swells up greatly,
forming huge bubbles, from the bursting o!
which the grains of INFUSED matter which
II contains, as well as the interposed Ii
qufd portions, are scattered In the shape
OF ashes or cinders, sometimes with masses
OF solid, INFUSED rock, often several feet
In diameter. The heavier materials fall in
the shape of cinders or ashes in the vi
cinity of the crater and by their accumu-
lation help to build up the cone.
The great volcanoes of Hawaii, rising
with an average slope of or 6 degrees
to heights more than $4,000 feet above the
sea, have been built up mainly of lava
This volcanic region has within the last
forty years been the seat of some of the
most stupendous eruptions on record. Vol
canic eruptions are sometimes preceded
or accompanied by earthquakes.
The gaseous products of volcanoes ap-
pear to be chiefly carbonic acid, chlorohy-
dric acid. and sulphur in the form of sui
phuretted hydrogen and sulphurous acid.

Chinese Compliments.
(From the Youths Companion,

There is one point in which Chinese etiquette
so often absurd is much more sensible than ours
That is in its failure to regard the imputation
of mature age as discredit to either man or
woman or. on the other hand, the imputation
OF youthfulness as a compliment TO persons of
either SEX An example of Chinese politeness
connected with the visit of the Prince and Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia to Shanghai. is amusing
as it reflects on our own false notion of the COM
plimentary in such matters
The German prince and princess were visiting
a notable mandarin, OF whose first questions
to the prince-this being inyariable matter of
Chinese noliteness-was:
''How old are you?''
"a little more than thirty-six," answered the
prince, smiling
..Indeed!' said the mandarin. 'Your high
ness appears fifty.
The mandarin then turned TO the interpreter
Herr yoiCht GerIlan-and inquired the prin-
cess age She answered, Thirty two" The in
terpreter interpreted, and the mandarin made a
remark in Chinese evidently intended TO he COM
plimentary. The interpreter blushed uneasily, and
hesitated TO translate the remark. The prince saw
the difficulty and laughingly commanded:
''out with it. Voighti'
''He says the interpreter then translated to
the princess, THAT your highness looks like
sixty"
He had meant it well, and of course the prin-
cess had sense enough not to take it i'll.

Boston at Louisville.
Philadelphia at Chicago.
Brooklyn at st. Louis.

At Pittsburg yesterday the Senators and
Pirates engaged in a double-header and di-
vided honors on the day The first con-
test went to the visitors by the score OF
TO j, while the home team was success
full in winning the second by the score OF
to 8. To Dinneen's excellent work is due
the Senatorial triumph His pitching was
not brilliant, but he started at steady
gait and kept at it all through the game
Twice during the contest the Pirates had
men on bases with strong hitters at the
bat. but they were unsuccessful in getting
their runners across the plate. Leeyer was
hit at opportune times by the Senators.
In the second game weighing went to the
centre of the diamond for Irwin's men and
the Pirates Immediately commenced TO pile
up tallies. Five hits, assisted by a wild
throw by Atherton, allowed four OF the
home team to cross the plate in the first
two innings, and then Carsey was sent to
the box by Manager Irwin. He proved
much more effective than Aeyhing and on
ly twice more did the Pirates tally.
The fielding Of Beaumont was the main
applause-producer of the afternoon. He
made several brilliant catches in centre
and really saved the second game for his
team by his excellent fielding The Sena-
tors Outbatted the Pirates, but could not
make their hits tell. In the sixth inning
1t seemed that Washington was sure TO
tie the score, but a magnificent catch by
Beaumont spoiled the chance.
This afternoon the Senators and Pirates
Will play the last game of the present
series. McFarlan Will probably be in the
box for the Senators and If he wins his
game Manager ITSin may be well satisfied
with his team's stay in Pittsburg The Pi-
rates have been sweeping all before them
since their return from the East and if the
Senators break even there il will be more
than the Quakers could accomplish. The

a Lions Cataract Removed.
lFrom the london Chroniele. }

An operation probably unique has Just been sue
cessfully carried out at Perugia where an eminent
professor has operated successfully for cataract
upon a young lion. Having been ehloroformed
the young animal was placed in a dimly lighted
cage This is an incident which would have pro-
foundly interested the famous artist whose loss
France is mourning. Rosa Bonheur made par
ticular study of lions, and literally lived among
them. A honess actually died in her arms. and
she was greatly affected when the animal in its
last moments licked her hand with its rough
tongue.
