London's Famous Woman Speaker

Mrs. Henry Fawcett, of London. is
considered by many to be one of the
best woman speakers In the world
She is, as most people are aware, the
widow of the distinguished blind poll
ticlan who was for so long Postmaster
General of England. and it was at
Brighton, during the course of n great
political meeting, that the late Pro
fessor Fawcett referred to his wife as
"the helpmate whose political judy
ment is much less frequently at fault
than my own"
Mrs. Fawcett began her career as n
platform speaker very soon after her
marriage. She is a great promoter of
the higher education of women. That
being so, there seems something pecu-
llarly fitting in the fact that it was
her only child, Miss Philippa Fawcett-
who was placed above the senior
wrangler of 1890.

You hear fashionable women talking
famlliarly about taking n crest cure"
for the throat during the winter. 1t is
easy to disinterpret the phrase. This
is not a case of loss of voice or any
bronchial distress whatever. IL simply
means that the victim of fashion has
ruined the contour of soft white
throat by prolonged indulgence in
stock collars, which are not only too
high and entirely too stif to be hy.
glenic, but very much too tight. In an
effort to have SLENDER throat our
girls and their mothers have worn col
lar bands hooked up to the point of
feather bone" or "coraline" stay the
high neck band and give further dis
comfort to it.
A lady's complaint of feeling faint"
the other day was met by her hus-
bands demand "to unhook that foolish
collar" which compressed her throat
into ridges and actually hlndercd free
respiration.
The remedy is to have your house
dresses made with an open neck, and
to let the throat have n chance to re.
gain its smoothness by fresh air treat
ment An afternoon dress intended
for evenings at home can have the
throat cut surpllce, and faced with a
little lace.
The dressmaker should be cautioned
not to send home bodice with n neck
band which acts as "check rein" in
harnessing up the throat.

cure for the bites of venomous snakes
that is used in Arizona. This consists
in making two cuts through the place
bitten and forcing the blood out of It
to carry off the poison. Meanwhile
the person bitten chews and swallows
a piece of alum the size Of chestnut
and then chews fine another piece and
spreads 1t on the cut which is then
bound up. Though the cuts may make
the bitten spot sore, no swelling re-
suits. The alum acts as an astringent,

ESCAPE
OF NEGRO MURDERER HARRIS is
CONSIDERED PRETTY
CERTAIN.
Sheriff Yund Returned From Tie Sid
ing This Morning and Reports No
Success in the Pursuit-Descrip-
tons of the Fugitive Are Very
Meager and Unsatisfactory.

Sheriff Iund returned on No. 3 this
morning from Tie Siding where he
went to conduct the pursuit of Harris,
the negro who is wante, lOr the muir
der of Harry Barber. another negro.
He reports no success and that the fug-
tive appears to have vanished from
the face of the earth.
1t was reported yesterday afternoon
that Harris had returned to Woods
camp a few hours after the murder and
was seen there in company with the
in the case: and that he was
seen also at Sullivan's camp on Dale
creek where he spent the night. Shcr-
If Iund ran both these rumors down
and found them to have been without
says there has been no trace OF Harris
since he fed from the camp. The de-
scriptions of the man are 50 vague and
diverse that it is almost Impossible to
make intelligent search for him. He is
described ~variously as tall ana thin.
as short and fat, as a mulatto, as a full
biooded negro, as well dressed, as
~shabbily dressed and in various ether
conflicting ways calculated to make an
Office tired.
The chances just now are very much

Tho Collision on tho Roads.

Captain T.. w. Travers, of the Balti-
more schooner John A. Curtis, reports
that his vessel is in bad condition.
Notwithstanding this. an effort will be
made to raise and save her. This step
has been taken at the instance of in
surance companies, who are interested
in a $1,000 policy in favor OF her own
er. The Merritt e Chapman Derrick
and Wrecking Company will endeavor
to save the boat. or as much of 1t as
possible. Yesterday the tug William
Colley went to the sunken schooner to
see what can be done.
AS stated in these columns, the John
a. Curtis was sunk in Hampton Roads,
off Old Point, Tuesday morning, while
on her way from the Wicomico river
to Norfolk with 1873 tons of fish guano
for the f. S. Register Company. The
cargo was insured, and it is said n
portion of it will be saved.
1t has developed that it was the tug
Triton that collided with the schooner
Curtis. On the contrary, Captain
Frank Benjamin. who had charge of
the Triton, insists that instead OF the
Curtis being run into by his craft, it
was the latter that was run into by
the schooner.
The collision will be investigated by
Local Inspectors Nicholson and John
son.

known. I never heard any one speak
Of him except in terms of praise and
admiration"

Fish Steamer Narrowly Esoapea

The Cape Charles fish steamer Bea-
trice. owned by the Atlantic Fisheries
Company, located on Sandy Island'
off Cape Charles City, and in COM
mand of Captain Billups. had mar
row escape from laundering Tuesday
night near the Middle Grounds. The
steamer had load of 100000 men
haden fish and was headed for the
factory. She was struck by a terrific
wind-storm and lost her rudder. She
was thus at the mercy of the wind and
wave. Captain Billups cast anchor
and remained till Wednesday morning,
when one of the Fisheries Company's
steamers towed him to Cape Charles
City.
The Beatrice had her matches washed
away, as well as two small boats from
her deck. together with her fishing
nets.
Information was received late yes
terday afternoon over the Weather
Bureaus seacoast line that the tug
Reliance had just passed in the Capes
with an open boat in tow. 1t is pre-
sumed that this was one of the bouts
washed from the deck of the fishing
steamer Beatrice. and that likely her
valuable nets might have also been Sc
cured.
