THE HEROINE OF LUCKNOW.
Death Of Lady lnelis, Who Kept a
Diary During the Siege.

An interesting figure in English his.
tory has passed away in the person
of Lady 1nglis, who died yesterday
at her residence. II Rectory road.
Beckenham, after a short illness.
Lady Julia Senia Inglis was the Sec
ond daughter of the first Lord Chelms-
ford and was born in 1888.
She was the widow of the famous
defender of the British residency at
Lucknow, Sir John Eardley Wilmot
Inglish, X. G. B., who died in 1882, and
in memory of whose services in the
Indian Mutiny she had been in receipt
of pension.
Lady Inglis herself went through
the siege of Lucknow, and in addition
to the terrors of the siege and the
subsequent journey to the coast she
was shipwrecked on the voyage home
to England.
She afterward published the diary
she kept during her eventful life in
the besieged city, where her husband
then Brigadier Inglis, commanded the
garrison throughout the eighty-sev-
en nays .ne place was invested.

One Of His Most Successful Was to
Faint in Presence Of Wedding Party.
A fraud on lady has Just come to
light on the details of which much
time and care must have been expend-
ed, and yet the profits amounted only
to 3s.
"A man, who described himself as a
ships mechanic, called on the lady
at her residence at Putney. He dis
played a most intimate knowledge of
the family, and stated that two at
tiers had been found In berth on
German liner addressed to her two
brothers, who were In Australia. He
said that he had been to the London
Office of these gentlemen, the address,
es of whom he mentioned, and added
that he had been told to call on her,
as telegram had come asking for
the letters to be forwarded at once.
He said that the third mate OF the
liner had the letters, and gave the
lady an address In Hamburg to write
to. He added that his expenses had
been 3s., which the lady gave him,
promising to communicate with him
later. Inquiries afterward proved that
there was no such third mate and no
such liner.
1t is perhaps due to universal edu-
cation that frauds OF this nature are
increasing, as opposed to crimes OF
violence. There is one man, for ex-
ample, known as the champion faint
er." He never asks for money, he
merely faints on your doorstep. He
is almost invariably taken in and
given a good meal, and in many cases
money is pressed upon him.
One Of his feats was to faint outside
a house in which wedding party was
assembled. He was tenderly looked
after, was given champagne, and
wished the newly married pair good
luck in neat speech.
A man who lived on his wits noticed
that lamps were being used in house,
while all the others in the row were
burning gas. He deduced that some
thing had gone wrong with the meter,
and called early next morning from

Minister Allen was born In Della

graduated from Ohio Wesleyan Uni
vesity. Two years later, in 1888, he
married classmate, just preparatory
to setting out for China as a Presby-
terrain missionary.
The young missionary doctor had not
been long in China before he made his
way down to Korea, on tour Of In

IDENTIFY he sent back favorable reports
to his superior officers in New York,
for in n short time lie received q cable

"Korea." This he understood to mean
that he should undertake to find a
foothold in the capital of this ages
old nation, with its avowed intoler-
ance Of Christianity. He was thus
the first Protestant missionary to 10.

Foote, made him physician to the lc-
CATION, thus giving him an excuse
for remaining in Seoul which no Ko-
rean could Cainsay.
Two months later the young Amer.

Foote and all the Europeans fled to
Chemulpo, to be under the protection
of the gunboats-all except the young
missionary doctor. Within half an
hour he was at the side of the wound
ed prince, disregarding all danger to

He found thirteen Korean doctors

he tried what western science could

the wounds, and continued his treat.

1t was heroic thing for DR.. and
| Mrs. Allen to remain where buildings
were burning and bullets whizzing
through the streets, and treason and
fanaticism were on every hand.
AS If to fix firmly the place of this
skillful Yankee missionary in the royal
favor, the Emperor himself fell sick
to be cured by DR.. Allen. This gave
him the title of court physician, and
a commanding position at the palace
which latter lie has held to this day.
Another evidence of the high favor
in which he was held was his appoint.

Grafton. They would feel safer with
some other candidate, but see no way
out OF their dilemma. Why should
Congress adjourn without passing
upon the many matters that the voters
deem of great Importance to them?
Unfortunately, what the people want
Is not what the trusts desire. The
people want reform. The combines are
willing to stand pat and the Republic
can President and lawgivers stand
with the corporations against the peo-
pie. To have record vote on these
important reform measures the Demo
Gratis favor would show too plainly to
the voters how their representatives
stand and 1t would be awkward for
many Republican Congressman to de-
eide between their friends, the corpor-
atoms, and their constituents. Cau-
cuses and conventions are being held
about this time and the ordinary Re-
publican voter who is opposed to the
trusts might make trouble now. and
more about election time. II 1t could be
proved to him that he was represented
by trust lover, instead of trust
buster.
There Is another reason for the anx-
iety of the Republicans to adjourn
Congress at this early date. The
Democrats are demanding that the
Postoffice Department be investigated.
as they have evidence that but a small
part of the rottenness with which
that Department has been proved to
be honeycombed has been disclosed.
II is very annoying to the Republican
leaders to be thus bearded In what

the minority and have the country con-
stantly reminded that only n partinl
