I THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1893. regarding the Hawaiian policy of the administration. The letter says: "You need not fear the administration's Hawaiian policy. As soon as it becomes! known it will commend itself to all sensible Americans. Secretary Gresham's letter did not give the slightest hint at the real policy of the administration, which is not only to re-enthrone the Queen, but to supplement that action by establishing a new relationship with the islands.

Our position is that in negotiating with the provisional government we would be negotiating with a government established by the United States arms. The Queen will be restored, not only that justice may be done, but that we may have a proper, regularly established government with which to deal in carrying on subsequent negotiations, for which Minister Willis has authority. The Queen will be restored under such circumstances and conditions as will make an easy matter for the United States to gain all the advantages of annexation without the Wanted Protection. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. story is circulating here that when ex-Queen Liliuokalant called on Minister Willis she besought him to extend to her the protection of the United States, as she feared assassination.

Willis, it is alleged, told her flatly that he could do no such thing; that she must look out for her own safety. He had presented his credentials to the provisional government and he could not recognize her as Queen, as it would be equivalent to 2 recognition if he detailed United States marines to guard her house or person. The Queen kept the result of this interview very close, as if it had got out it would have seriously hurt her cause. NO. 10 DOWNING STREET.

The Room from Which Emanates the British Government's Red! Tape. London Era. One of the modern delvers into musty fact bins for treasure trove to tickle the palates of periodical readers has hauled out with his hook and exhibited with pride the fact that 10 Downing street, London, the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the English government, stands on the site of Henry VIII's cockpit, made when he enlarged Whitehall Palace. There was once a row of these stately brick houses, built all alike by Sir George Downing, in 1660 or thereabouts, but of these only three now remain-No. 10, the residence since Robert Walpole of the first lord; No.

11, the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and No. 12, used by the government whips. The whole. British government, with its acres of offices, miles of red tape, buckets of ink, barrels of pens and square miles of parchments, centers in Downing street. Downing street is synonymous with the roar of the British lion.

At the barest whisper of its name the dusky potentates of Boorioboola Gha and Timbuctoo are supto tremble much as the hunted posed wretches in darkest England grow pale at the mention of Scotland Yard. And of Downing street, No. 10 is the focus. Yet the street is but a little cul-de-sac which no one ever happens upon, but must be found by seeking. And No.

10, where lives the venerable Gladstone at the present moment, is but an old-fashioned house, with its crumbling railing, its old-style area. and ancient lights, taking one back to bygone days when statesmen in knee breeches and dainty wigs sat in council as "his Majesty's confidential Generations of statesmen have come and since its foundations were laid. In gone Addison's time it was a famous residence. George I settled his Hanoverian minister in it when he came over to England from Hanover, and George II gave it to "EveryMan-Has-His-Price" Walpole. All the prims ministers of this century have been familjar with it, and of its old council chamber, now used by Mr.

Gladstone's secretaries, many tales are told with somebodies and nobodies as their heroes. Here, probably, in the vast old room with its painted and capitaled pillars, and its beck shelves and records, and the famous long table with its green cloth cover, must the old Duke of New Castle have aired his knowledge of American geography. yes yes, to be sure! Annapolis must be defended. Troops must be sent to Annapolie. Pray, where is Annapolis? Cape Breton an island? Wonderful! Show it to me on the map.

So it is, sure enough. My dear sir, you always bring me good news. I must go and tell the King Cape Breton is an island." The outer reception room has the same fluted columns of wood simulating marble with heavily molded jambs and casings, a wide fireplace and modern furniture, which looked rather out of place in such an ancient room. All is dreary, cold and official, as is the case with every room save perhaps the private apartments into which the casual visitor does not penetrate. The dining room is a venerable wainscoted apartment much used in his day by the Earl of Beaconsfield, whose famous parliamentary dinners gave, in his opinion, "tone to a political party." The Queen's birthday banquets are given here, but it is not much used by Mr.

Gladstone. His famous breakfasts were given in the inner reception room adjoining. The old-fashtoned brass sconces for candles, the fine old chandelier recall the times of Walpole and help one without much effort to people the old room with the distinguished guests of his and other days. Much of this air of formalism is relieved by the feminine kickshaws and bric-a-brac which Mrs. Gladstone, Miss Gladstone and Mrs.

Henry Gladstone scatter about the old rooms. And if one is so fortunate as to get a peep into the old, prim British garden with its terraces and its wonderful turf on a day when the sun shines bright and warm upon the scene he will feel that there are some pleasant features about No. 10 Downing street after all. Mr. Gladstone's own room is a smaller apartment, well lighted and filled with books and the litter of work.

Books are aimost sacred objects of interest to Mr. Gladstone, and it is real pain to him to see a book rubbed or damaged by careless treatment. His method of reading is more that of the tortoise than that of the hare. He has never acquired heart of skipping; he cannot boast, like Carlyle, of reading a page of Gibbon "with one flash of his eye." Mr. Gladstone works until midnight, sleeps nearly nine hours, answers many letters which have been sorted out for him by his secretaries and his son and daughter.

In the afternoon he may be seen at a bookseller's, at a friend's house for a moment, then dinner and a quiet, studious evening. Such is the daily lite of the man who is the core of Downing street, of England and of the British empire. Prepared to Print Stamps. Washington Post. There is a possibility, at least, that the government will hereafter do its own printing of postage stamps, and probably postal cards and postal notes.

Yesterday Postmaster-general Bissell received a letter from the superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, asking that the bureau be permitted to submit bids for furnishing postage stamps under the recently published request for bids. As the contract has not yet been awarded, It is probable that General Bissell will withhold his decision until the Bureau of Engraving and Printing can make a. formal bid. together with a statement as to its facilities for doing the work. If the Postoffice Department should conclude to take the contract for printing postage stamps from the American Banknote Company and have the work done as the chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing desires, it would mean the employment of more expert plate printers in this city, with a material enlargement of the work of the bureau.

COLUMBUS, Nov. George W. Cooper arrived home this evening and was soon afterwards interviewed. When asked what protected articles manufactured in this State and district he wanted to see on the free list, he said: "I do not believe that there is a single protected industry in Indiana that depends for 1 its upon government assistance. Most of the articles manufactured in this State which are protected are made in the gas belt by the aid of free fuel.

The laborers employed are self-supporting and many of them are free traders and will vote the Democratic ticket if every article they aid in making is placed on the free list." He aiso said he was in favor of an income tax. Cooper is a candidate for re-elction, and while but few of his constituents in the city know that he is here, he is holding a private conference with some friends from the western part of the district.

KOKOMO, Nov. 24-Jared Marshall, a prominent resident of place and exthis Denver, this attempting to assessor, a at created, murder Quaker preacher. Two months Marshall and his wife separated after thirty years of married life, because, 29 he alleges, the minister, Rev. J. M.

Thomas, had alienated his wife's affections. Marshall thought he noticed in his wife's actions an undue and altogether improper fascination for the iivine, and upbraided her for it. She strenuously denied improper relations, and so did the preacher, but Mar. shall was not convinced and brought suit for divorce. Last Sunday night he noticed his wife leave church, accompanied by the pastor, and followed them to his residence.

The couple entered the house, and the maddened husband hammered on the door, demarding instant admission. The reverend gentleman escaped by a rear window. Marshall drew a revolver and started in pursuit, making an exciting chase. The minister fell into an open sewer, and, on ris. ing, defended himself with his cane.

Bystanders interfered. or a tragedy would have resulted. Marshall fired one shot, but it did not take effect. Mrs. Marshall is herself an ordained minister of the Friends' Church, and has always been considered an estimable woman.

Mr. Marshall, though row temporarily a resident of Denver, is a pioneer of this county and well fixed financially, being the owner of a valuable business block in Russiaville. It is thought he is mentally unbalanced. TRAINER M'LINN CONVICTED. The Bicknell Field Dog Fancier Goes to Prison for Perjury.

Kidnapers Get Change of Venue. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Special to the Indianapoils Journal. GREENSBURG, Nov. 24.

Judge Ewing "roasted" the grand jury to -day for disregarding his instructions as to the law applicable to prize-fighting. The court held that if three or more persons met in the night time to do an unlawful act they could be punished under the White Cap law, and that it was the duty of the jury to return an indictment for a felony, but the grand jury took a different view or the law, and returned indictments for a misdemeanor. In discharging the grand jury Judge Ewing said as the jury had only returned indictments for a misdemeanor he believed he would discharge them and let the prize-fighters and the grand jury go together. The members of the grand jury were very indignant.

A convivial Angeleno stepped into one of the leading tonsorial shops about a month ago and confided to the wielder of the razor the latest Eastern fad--that his head was swollen from the effects of the previous night's debauch, and asked him if he could not, metaphorically speaking, soak his head for him in a.

wet towel. After full instructions from the customer the barber immersed the towel in almost boiling water and placed it across the customer's brow. "How does it feel?" he asked, as the steam began to rise. "First class, give us some more." replied the man under the towel, and the head rubber continued the soaking process for fully half an hour, till at last, when he took the towel off, the face of his customer presented the appearance of a boiled lobster, and the owner of the swelled head declared that he never felt better in his life; that all the dizziness and swelling had departed and left his cranium clear as a bell. After that whenever he had been on a racket he came in on the following morning to have his head bathed.

He told his friends, and they came also, and others seeing its soothing effects became regular applicants for the laying on of the hot water towel. Then men who had not been and who never would go on jags. hearing how delicious the sensation of the hot water towel was. tried it, liked it, and thereafter asked for it. Thus the fad has become established in the southern California metropolis, and will soon spread from shop to shop and will be a regular custom.

Two shops have already adopted a hot water towel after a shave, and other shops will gradually follow suit. The time is at hand when the hot towel will be universal, for the simple reason that it is a delightful and most refreshing process if properly done. Not many of the barbers yet understand the affair. To be done properly not one towel alone, nor two, should be applied, but at least half a dozen, completely covering the face with the steaming cloth, each towel being replaced as it becomes cool with another fresh from the hot water faucet. A dreamy languor creeps over the senses.

On the hottest day in summer, as well as the coolest in winter, one goes forth feeling much better for his steaming. The philosophy of this new adaptation is this: The hot towel draws the blood away from the brain to the face, malting in summer the skin much warmer than the air, which, when the towel is withdrawn, strikes the skin cool and refreshing. In winter the blood offers the same resistance to the cold as if it were heated by exercise, and the unpleasant chapping of the skin which sometimes follows the old-fashioned shave is obviated. 'The steam also removes the oil which exudes from the skin and leaves the complexion clear and fresh. therefore a person feels better, thinks better, talks better and works better after "the towel shave."

COMPELLED TO QUIT Italy's Bank Scandals Cause the Cabinet to Resign. Premier Giolitti Makes the Announcement to the Deputies Amid Tumult and Excitement. ROME, Nov.

Cabinet resigned to-day. When the Chamber of Deputies was opened it was thronged with visitors. Signor Cavelotti caused a lively scene when the minutes of yesterday's meeting were read. He complained that the sitting was closed when the extreme left was about to submit a motion. The President commenced an explanation of this incident amid great excitement, the extreme left members meanwhile denouncing the ministers.

The Minister of Finance, Signor Grimaldi, defended himself against the attacks on the extreme left, declaring that he was an honest man and equally SOlicitous of public morals as his opponents. Signor Grimaldi was loudly applauded. Premier Giolitti, before making the ministerial declaration, said that he wished to state, in his own name, and in the names of his colleagues, that they wished to resume their seats in the Chamber of Deputies in order to have full liberty of speech. The remarks of the Premier caused much excitement in the chamber, especially among the members of the extreme left. Whn the noise had somewhat subsided, Premier Giolitti proceeded to announce the resignation of the Cabinet, adding that the King had already reserved his decision upon the matter, and that the ministers would, in the meantime, remain in office.

After the dispatch of current business a motion to adjourn was made. The extreme left members, especially Signor Inbriani, strongly denounced Premier Giolitti, who immediately retorted. Signor 1m- briani shouted: "You have fallen in the mud." To this remark Premier Giolitti rejoined: "Whatever efforts you make, you will not even succeed in splashing mud upon my boots." This caused renewed excitement in the chamber, during which some very hot words were heard from the extreme left, and equally warm replies from the supporters of the government. When order had been restored the chamber calied for a vote upon the motion to adjourn, which was approved, except by members of the left. The meeting closed amidst much unroar.

Soon after it was reported that the King was taking steps to consult the presidents of the chambers and the leaders of the different parties in regard to the formation of a new Cabinet. While Signor Crispi was announcing to the Chamber that until a new Ministry was appointed he and his colleagues would conduct the business of the government a voice called out, "Robber." At this ail the Ministers sprang to their feet in the wildest excitement, and demanded almost in one voice, "Who said that?" It was discovered that the man who uttered the exclamation was a stranger. The ushers were thereupon ordered to clear the galleries. After this incident debate appeared impossible. There was an exchange of angry and uncomplimentary expressions between the Ministers and the opposition, which finally led to the whole body of the opposition filing slowly out of the Chamber, followed by deafening yells and shouts.

The President then rose and declared that the Chamber be closed. King Humbert this afternoon conferred separately with the President of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The Italia says that the Cabinet resigned in erder to give the crown the fullest liberty of action and to regain their own liberty so that they could defend their conduct as members of the Chamber of Deputies. The Reforma says that never before has there been such a grave crisis in Italy or such an urgent need for a practical solution. The newspapers generally indulge in numerous speculations in regard to the composition of the next Ministry.

The members of the party of the Left held a meeting this afternoon for the purpose of gauging the strength of the party. Two hundred members were present. Questions Answered by Gladstone. LONDON, Nov. the House of Commons to-day Gladstone, in replying to a question put by William Johnson, member for South Belfast, said that the government was not contemplating the purchase of a residence in Ireland for the Duke of York.

Replying to Lieutenant General Sir George Chesley, member for Oxford, Mr. Gladstone remarked that when the navy estimates were explained it would be found that further ships were to be built at an early date, and that provisions to avoid delays and to rapidly complete the work already ordered would be made.

NEW YORK, Nov. suspension of Nathaniel S. Jones was announced on the Stock Exchange this morning.

ANECDOTE OF PATRICK HENRY. A Virginia Woman Who Had Faith in Him, but in No Other. Blue and Gray for November. Like all great public characters whose lives are the common property of their countrymen, Patrick Henry has been made the central figure of many interesting tales, some doubtless unauthentic, but many more savoring of the apocryphal. The following anecdote, whether true wholly or in part, or purely mythical, shows the spirit perfeet confidence in which the people of Virginia regarded him: When Cornwallis made his great raid into Virginia in 1781 the Legislature fled from Richmond to Charlottesville, but the nearer approach of the British caused the House to break up suddenly and in some disorder on the 4th of June.

It is related that Henry, accompanied by Benjamin Harrison, John Tyler and Colonel Christine, fleeing from the redcoats, stopped one evening at a lowly cabin in the hills and asked for food. An old woman who answered their summons demanded of them who they were. Henry, who acted as spokesman, replied: "We are members of the Legislature, and have been compelled to leave Charlottesville on mecount of the approach of the enemy." "Ride on then, ye cowardly she replied in righteous husband and sons have gone to Charlottesville to fight for ye and you are running away like curs. Clear out; ye shall have nothing here." "But," expostulated Mr. Henry, "we were obliged to fly.

We could not see the Legislature broken up. Why, here is the Speaker, Mr. Harrison; you don't think he would have fled had it not been necessary?" "I always thought a great deal of Mr. Harrison till replied the woman, "he'd no business to run away," she was about to close the door. "Hold, good urged Mr.

Henry, "you know that Mr. Tyler Colonel Christine would not take to flight without goo! reason, would they?" "No. she sold. "But they are said Mr. Henry, pointing to his companions.

The old woman gazed at the party, but rejoined: "No matter; we love these gentlemen, but if they have run away from the British they shall have nothing to eat in my house." In this extremity Mr. Tyler stepped forward and said: "What would you say, my good woman, if I were to tell you that Patrick Henry had fled with the rest?" "Patrick she answered angrily, and with much disgust. "Patrick Henry, sir, would never do such a disreputable, cowardly act." "But this is Patrick said Tyler, pointing to him. The old woman was speechless for a monment, her face depicting most profound astonishment. At length she said: "Well, then, if that is Patrick Henry it must be all right.

Come in, ye are welcome to the best I have." THREE SLAIN BY ONE HAND. Joseph Smith Kills His Divorced Wife, Another Woman and Hi Himself. KANKAKEE, Nov. D. Smith, formerly a merchant of this city, murdered his divorced wife and a Mrs.

Graybill this noon and then sho: himself. Both women were shot throught the heart and death was instantaneous. Smith then shot himself in the head, but the bullet glanced and injured him but slightly. He then went to his boarding house, about a half mile distant, and shot himself through the right temple about three minutes before the sheriff arrived. Jealousy is the probable cause.

Mrs. Smith secured a divorce from her husband on the grounds of adultery this summer. Smith's wife and Mrs. Graybill lived together. Smith was about forty years old and his wife about thirty-five.

Mrs. Graybill is about sixty. Smith's seven-year-old daughter is the only living witness to the tragedy. About two years ago Smith was caught in a compromising position with a young girl and was arrested. His wife sued for a divorce and it was granted.

She had been living with her mother for some time, but about a month ago she and Mrs. Graybill, an elderly widow, rented a house and lived together. Both women have always had the best of reputations in this city. Smith had always been looked upon 28 without, suflicient courage to do harm to any one. It is stated that he had threatened to kill his wife several times unless she returned to him.

Bok's Letter. Just how much value a printed review is to a book is an interesting question and one naturally very difficult of accurate solution. Some authors fairly cry out if one of their books is unfavorably reviewed by the er tics. But, after all, one cannot forget that Bayard Taylor's books, for example, were scarcely ever reviewed and the repeated struggles of their author to have his books properly noticed are still fresh in the minds of many a literary editor. And yet Taylor's books sold by the thousands.

of E. P. Roe's books exactly the same was true, and yet the works of few authors sold and sell to this day so well. One would never know from the critics that A. C.

Gunter had published a new book, and yet he has still to issue a new story to sell below the 50,000 mark. But in each one of these cases the books were well advertised in the legitimate advertising columns of the newspapers and weeklies. A critic's review of a book is, after all, but the opinion of an individual, and this the public knows. And unless the critic is one of recognized standing in the literary world or is a specialist on the subject of the particular book he reviews, it is just as likely as not that his opinion may be as wrong as it is likely that it is right. An advertisement is accepted by thousands of people as the only true way of bringing any commodity before the public.

The advertisement of a book is necessarily brief, which is 3.11 advantage over the review: what it says is explanatory rather than critical; a literary man knows just where to find such advertisements in the particular papers he reads: the advertisement, too, generally precedes the critic's review, and has. therefore, the advantage of telling a man of a book just as it is fresh from the press. Then it tells the size and price of the book, where he can secure it, which reviews do not always give. In fact. an advertisement performs just what It is intended to do: a review is neither one thing nor the other.

It is the exception, rather than the rule, to read a review which tells just what is in a book. Far oftener do we find nothing but the reviewer's own opinion, and everybody don't care to have somebody else tell him what he should and should not read. I have always believed. and the belief has been born of experience in advertising hundreds of books. that more conies of a book can be 'sold through the legitimate advertising columns of a newspaper than through its reviewing departinent.

A review can help the sale of book, but it takes legitimate advertising to start it. The book review, in other words, is the helpmate of the advertisement, but it is not the single power. SOMETHING ABOUT BLOUNT. Ignorance Shown by that Person in Spenking of Greece. Kate Field.

There is an African proverb to the effect that "whoever travels alone tells lies." I would not for a moment imply that Commissioner Blount has willfully borne false witness, but it seems unfortunate that so important a mission should have been delegated to one man, whose range of vision has never been broad enough to command public rspect. There are some of us who recall words spoken by Mr. Blount in the Fifty-first Congress when Greece was discussed in connection with the diplomatic and consular bill. Said the gentleman from Georgia: "What need have we for a minister to Greece? Her halls of philosophy are closed forever. Her seacoast, once the center of an immense commerce, is almost as silent as the dawn of creation itself.

Ia that land is an ignorant, thriftless, idle population, standing beside the ruined tombs and monuments of a. decayed and forever departed greatness." Considering there are more college graduates in Greece in proportion to the population than in the United States; considering education in free schools is compulsory; considering that her merchant marine alone numbers six thousand vessels, and that her area does not exceed that of Georgia, Mr. Blount signed his own death warrant as a historian in decrying Greece. To polish off a friendly nation as "forever" doomed to ignorance and insignificance betrays an assurance almost without a parallel. Mr.

Blount may be right about Hawaii. but his record is against him: he has yet to win his spurs as a purveyor of facts. "While the lamp holds out to burn The wayward sinner may return." For the honor of this Republic we should pray that time will justify the administration in what seems to be the gravest mistake ever made by a nation that owes its existence to revolution against a monarchy far more enlightened than the miserable travesty of royalty that masquerades in the paradise of the Pacific. One Body Recovered. DETROIT.

Nov. night long and this moring the firemen poured water on the smoldering ruins of Edson, Moore dry goods building, which was burned yesterday with such fatal results. As scon as the debris was cool a search for the dead was commenced. About noon a chared mass of flesh was unearthed. It was the body of a large man, but the features were so badly burned that it was impossible to identify the remains.

Search for the other unfortunates was continued, but with little hone of success. as it is thought they were consumed entirely. The Palms estate, which owned the building, is being censured on all sides for not providing better means of escape for those employed there. Three sides of the immense five-story 'structure are exposed, but only on one side was there a fire escape. No Troops Ordered Out.

PITTSBURG, Nov. Greenlands sent the following to Lieutenant Colonel W. C. Connolly, of Pittsburg: "There is nothing in the report that the Sixteenth or any regiment of the Second Brigade has been ordered out. The troubles along the line of the Lehigh Vallev look as if they will be settled without the use of Prize Fight in Ohio.

Slusher drew first blood with a left-hander on the nose in the opening round. THE PRAYER OF KANSAS. She Needs a Poet to Immortalize Her Heroic History.

Kansas City Star. "What Kansas needs," says a Kansas newspaper apropos of this glorious autumn weather, a poet." This is doubtless true; Kansas does need a poet: she is a fullgrown, full-blown woman in the sisterhood of States; she is a queen, and needs a poet laureate, just as every woman needs a lover. Kansas has lovers by the score but she needs one who can sing well for her. Until now Kansas has not recognized her need for a poet. She has gone in for railroads, and steam thrashers, and town sites, and legislatures and very material interests.

In her misguided way she has thought the poet was very worthless sort of a fellow because he does not produce bankable paper. She has welcomed Shylock; she has beckoned Croesus; she has flirted scandalously with "Dick" and "Harry" who were laying out additions to the townsite of civilization, but when the wandering minstrel came to her court "a thing 01 shreds and patches of melody and catches" Kansas had him put out of the hall. Kansas thought she could get on very well without a poet. A young community is very apt to he like a very young girl--a girl at that interesting age when her intimate friends call her "snippy." A young community is liable to think that all it needs is dash, snap, impertinence and smart appearance to get on in the world. As they grow older young communities and young women learn that something more is needed.

They learn that heart and soul are something. and that wisdom is rather to be chosen than great riches. Kansas is approaching that interesting stage. She recognizes the need of a boom and all the king's horses and all the poet. A poet could do more for Kansas than a new railroad law, a resurrected king's men.

He could give her standing among the sisterhood. He could introduce her into good society. Some very poor country has been redeemed by the presence of a singer in its boundaries. There is not a worse stretch of land on ea.th probably than Palestine. Yet because a group of Hebrew poets sang there it is made the end of millions of pilgrimages.

Mohammed, who was nothing if not a poet, has been worth untold millions to Mecca. Who can figure up the value of Burns to Scotland? Scotland isn't half the country that Kansas is. "Ye banks an braes of bonny Docn" are no fairer than the "bank and braes" of the "Weehaw, the Whitewater and the Cottonwood. Highland Mary is no prettier than thousands of Marys on the Kansas uplands. Wichita, Emporia and Atchison have plenty of girls just as comely as the Laura who inspired Petrarch's muse.

The wind that jostles the leaves of autumn on the Kaw and the Solomon is just as sweet and fresh as the "wind of the western which filled Tennyson's pipes. Kansas is pretty enough; Kansas is grand enough. Deer creek, in Allen county, that runs through the farm of Congressman Funston, is just as beautiful as Deer crick, Indiana, of which Mr. Riley writes: "I've never seen the ocean, an' I've never seen the sea, But on the banks of Deer Crick is grand encugh for me." All Kansas needs is a poet. TRICKS OF NOVELISTS.

-Honored Signs Used to Indicate Character. Hartford Courant. Let us imagine a person who had never read a book and never written one suddenly compelled to become an author, say of a novel. Would he do certain things by intuition? For instance, would he allow the hero to be instantly detected as good and great by the way the dog fondled him and the little, shy golden-haired child crept confidently to his knee? And would he perceive by the same faculty the regenerating influence of the muslin curtain behind which geraniums in pots bloomed luxuriantly in homes poor and plain to pitifulness? And the open magazine! What has it done for literature as a revelation of character? Modern authors, by which I mean authors since Irving, have taken me into many doubtful. many painful.

sorrowful homes; but if see pots of red geraniums in the window or magazinenewspapers have no such influence--cut and lying open on the table, I breathe freely. I say, "This is a good place and you are good people, although, in popular parlance, you are down on your luck." At one time, for years and years, you could divine the female character by the muslin dress. Irving's story, "The Wife." made this costume sacred. It revealed purity, sweetness and love, and even Thackeray couldn't escape its evident propriety. Amelia wore white muslin; so did Charlotte Firmin, and, if her circumstances had permitted, so would the Little Sister have attired her modest person.

But as we became truer and truer to the externals in our fiction we saw that white muslin, though it spared writer and reader pages of description, would have to go, because (there is not the slightest intention of being witty in the succeeding sentence) white muslin is too thin and it will not wash. Every woman knew it and public opinion demanded another external sign of worth in lowly conditions. Mr. Curtis and Dr. Holland used white muslin, but Mr.

Howells? In "A World of Chance" does not Ruth tend geraniums? We believe so. And for Miss Wilkins, who is a concise writer, in her most complex charthese humble flowers have been detectives to whom we are very much obliged. A COLLEGE GIRMS REVENGE. The President Was Punished and the Girls Were Happy. New York Advertiser.

"They may talk about the college boys and their hazings and tricks, but for real genuine fun you can't beat the college girl," said a young freshman to the writer the other day. "'Last year--you know the men's college is right near our seminary, and so they call on us every evening -the president made a new rule. "He declared that we must dismiss our guests at 9:30, and we decided we would not do it. After a great deal of plotting and planning we hit upon a delightful plan, and it was a great success. The boys secured a big basket and two ropes and a pulley for us, and this we hid during the day and at night fastened to two great hooks on the sill of our study window.

The boys sent up their cards in the basket, and then, after inspecting them with a lantern to make sure they were not burglars, we hauled them up. "But one night the grave and dignified president caught uS and planned a little surprise for us. He found one of the boys' cards in our rooms and placed it in the basket. It worked beautifully and we hauled him half way up before any one thought of using the lantern. Then Miss Flyaway held it out the window and took a peep at him.

One glance at the spectacles and bald head was enough. It was lucky for that that we did not let him fall to the ground in our horror and amazement, but we held on to the ropes until we decided what to do. "We couldn't let him down again. he would only come un and catch us, and we couldn't drop him, bad as he was, and we certainly didn't intend to help him carry out his plan by hauling him up, so we compromised by securing the ropes and letting him hang there in midair. He begged and implored to be let down, offered uS any bribe we could wish for, and wasted more eloquence on us in that first hour than he did during his yearly lectures.

But we had no visitors that night; he amused us and we wanted revenge, 90 we left him. He tried to jump, to climb down the wall and up on the rope, but failed in everything. At last he howled, yelled like an Indian till every one in the town was aroused and even the boys turned out to see the terror of their worst nightmares, crimson with rage, suspended in midair in a clothes basket."

Of course, his application was refused. since it is obvious that neither theft, fraud, imposition. libel nor assault could be accepted as the proper designation of such an incident. On the continent the danger appears to be of a still more seriuos nature. A man with fascinating eyes is reported as haunting the Parisian omnibuses, and whenever he feasts his eyes on a good looking young woman she immediately falls asleep.

So numerous are the charges of this character against him that the police are now straining every nerve to capture him. But it is ditficult to say what can be done with him when he is secured. He can scarcely be guillotined, and to place such an offender in confinement wouid only be to invite him to try his powers on his jailers. He might even succeed in sending to sleep the judge and jury before whom he was brought for trial. If there is really anything in this new form of the Evil Eye, it may become a source of moral danger and crime, and the law of all civilized countries will have to be amended in such a manner as to grapple with it.

In the meantime it may serve as a fertile field for authors of comic operas and screaming farces. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK, Nov. Germanic, from Liverpool; Columbia, from Hamburg: Paris, from Southampton. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov.
