must lie in death. The friends and rel
atives pray outside the door where it
lies. Then it is turned over to menials,
who carry it to the Towers of Silence,
strip it of its raiment and carry it to
the grating, where it becomes the prey
of the hideous vultures.
There are five of these towers in
Bombay-one for suicides, one for the
rich who can afford the luxury of a
private place for their dead, and the
others for the general Parsee public.
Only the men who place the bodies on
the tower gratings can ever enter the
towers. These men are little better
than outcasts and live by themselves
without the acquaintance or friendship
of their employers or coreligioaists.
The buildings themselves are shapely
and in the midst of a lovely garden. but
the gross vultures destroy the beauty
of the Towers of Silence.

scenes, but as a physician my life in
India did not bring me in touch with
any or the gayety. Outside OF the hos
pital my private practice was in the ze-
mana houses, which is the name for the
homes OF the purdah ladies or Moham-
medans OF high caste. In the zepana
are four, five. six or more wives. but
they each have their own apartments
with separate entrances. like 50 many
flats, as it were. and never see each
other
They are never permitted to gaze on
any man save their husbands, and
lead idle, contented lives with a flock
of attendants. The innovation of wom-
en- physicians has wrought great relief
to them, as they were denied the ser
vices of the male physicians. Speaking
their language l was able to converse
with them about their lives and found
with very few exceptions that these
shut in" women are perfectly con-
tent, and even given the opportunity
have no disposition to question about
the great outside world of which they
know nothing.
Il may be new and interesting to
many to read how the Lady Dufferin
hospitals for native women were estab-
lished. Something like ten years ago
an enlightened native woman begged
a returning English tourist to present
TO Queen Victoria, with assurances of
her loyalty, magnificent jewel and to
tell Her Majesty of the need in India
for hospitals for the native women.
When Lord DUfferin was appointed
Niceroy to India the Queen asked Lady
Dufferin to look into the need OF hospi-
tails for native women. Lady Dufferin
cid not have to stay many weeks in
India to have her sympathy aroused.
The result was the establishment of
many hospitals for women, all named
after her. The parent society for the
] Lady Dufferin hospitals is in Calcutta.

LrpprNcorTs GOT THE FOUNTAIN
Jury Found That EIeopouIO's Credi-
tors Had No Right to II.

A jury in the Superior Court yesterday
found verdict for the plaintiffs in the
case of Charles Lippincott & Co. again
P. E. Masters and others A decree was
rendered by Judge Falllgant in accordance
with the verdict Of the jury.
The defendants in the case we-e en-
ployes and preferred creditors of L. Eleo-
poulo, the Bull street confectioner. VIII,
departed this city between two suns
some eight or nine months ago. About
month before he decamped he had pur-
chased from Lippincott & Co., a Philadel-
pnia firm, a handsome soda water appar-
ratus, for which he agreed TO pay abcut
II 400. Before he had paid more than
single one of the inst alments he left the
city and has not been heard of or from by
his creditors since that time
AS soon as 1t was known generally that
Eleopoulo had left the city his creditors
descended upon his remaining and visible
assets in swarms. The employees Of the cor
fectionery establishment swore cut labor
ers' liens against the stock on hand ana
the owner of the premises in which the
business was carried on took out an attach
ment for rent. AS the coda water appa-
ratus was about the only property of any
value left in the store, the leYies were
made on it.
MT. "A. r Wright representing the Phil
adelphia house, secured a restraining Or
der, that was subsequently, merged into
temporary injunction, from Judge Falli-
giant, by which the creditors were prohib-
TIED from enforcing the levy of Their a.
tachments and laborers' liens against e
soda water fount and apparatus, until tho
further order of the court. The restrain
Ing order was granted by the court up n
the showing made that the apparatus had
been sold to Eleopoulo merely conditional
ly and with the proviso that the ti'le
should remain in Lippincott & Co, IN IL
all of the installments of principal and in
terest of the purchase money had teen
paid.
The hearing on yesterday was the final
hearing in the case. The fight that had
been against the contentious of ownership
made by Lippincott & Co., al first v'g
orouS one, had about ceased and the jury
found no difficulty in deciding for the
plaintiffs and that the apparatus was never
subject to the levy of the laborers' liens
and the attachment for rent. Judge Fal-
hgants decree makes permanent the in
junction against the enforcement of these
levies.
The departure of Eleopoulo was attend
ed with certain features of public interest
1t transpired that during his career in Sa-
vananh he had succeeded in acquiring ac-
counts with about everyone whom he
knew in a business way and had worked
these >for everything that was in it, His
fitting caused bowls of dismay to proceed
from those he had placed in the unpleas-
ant position of victims, bowls, that so far
as is known did not cease because they
were CREASED" but merely because of the
fight of time.

Robert Williams, colored boy about 16
years old, during quarrel with another
negro boy, Edward Brown, aged r. shot
him in the neck with small pistol The
bullet went through the fieshy part of
the boys neck, making a painful but not
dangerous wound. Williams got away

cupied 1t swore that she knew nothing
of the boy or his whereabouts, but the
officer began a search nevertheless and
finally caught his prisoner under a bed

couple came into his store and made pur-
chases for which they rendered him IS
bill. Later in the day he took the bill,
with other money, to the bank for de-
post and 1t had been rejected as a coun-
terfeit When the prisoners were taken
to the barracks and searched quite an
amount of paper money was found on
them. When questioned the prisoners de-
MED any Intention OF committing a crime
or that they knew the money was spuri-
Gus. They accounted for the other money
by saying that 1t had been sent to them
by s. relative in Jacksonville.
Hargrave Walker and Willie Jenkins
two colored boys, were sent in for indule-
ing in the seductive game of craps on the
sidewalk at Liberty and Houston streets.
They were only a part of a crowd of
players and spectators that was so large
as TO block the sidewalk At the approach
of Detective Murphy, who made the ar
rest, the crowd scampered away and only
two were captured.
In the Recorders Court this morning
they will learn THAI craps, though fas-
chatting, is sinful, and that road building
in the county is more conducive to the
moral and physical welfare of the com
munity than is rolling bones on the cor
ner.
