The t>Tiifasbiouable Girl*
Ah. she was a mosi unfashionable girl,
She didn't know music and she didn't know |
French,
She didn't wear bangs nor a little spit curl, j
And she called a ptw in the church a ;
ben -h.
She drank from her saucer, and ate with her j
knite.
And wore a plain dress in last year's style,
She never talked love to dapper young men, |
And her anger she never concealed with a ,
smile.
She wasn't unnatural and laced most to
death.
She called things by their names, but was j
mouesii w jLuai,
She didn't complain of headaches all day,
And dance all night at a fash'nable ball.
She didn't get seated at the l itclien stove,
And j ui al! the work 011 her o d mother's
Lack;
She didn't look sweof, and simper and smirk, j
tut kissed her John Henry with a right i
hearty smack.
She didn't look pale and get up at ten,
And leave her apartment untidy, unclean;
She didn't use points and powders and pads.
And she didn't s.-iy things she didn't mean. i
She didn't find fault with family and home, j
And covet the blessings she never could
get.
But she'll bo just as good an angel "up j
the.e,"
As if she were "finelv accomplished," you i
bet.

Sweet* I.ltr.!e
Apropos of bonuets, I have a piece of
information for you. They are now to
be worn quite small, with hardly any
trimming and for the most part without
even strings. I saw the sweetest little
ones on in Xicolle's, in Bond street, j
You see, the reaction from the ugly high
affairs is sudden and complete. They i
3howed me one, qui'.e a love of a thing, i
made of sheepskin. The brim was cut
up at each side ond a small wing was
fitted in. The sole trimming was one 1
plain, flat band of velvet. No strings, j
Another lovely l.ttlc one had a pcau de I
suede crown, trimmed all round with
the breast feathers of some blue green
tropical bird, laid quite ilat against the j
by no means high crown. The brim was ;
edged with beaver, and there were
strings of blue-green ribbon veivet, in
which the tints of the feathers were recalled.
Another, with mull to match, j
wns made of glove-kid in the natural
tan color, edged with sealskin. A small I
owl's head formed the only trimming.? j
London Truth.
Tattooed Checks fashionable.
A Washington letter says: Thefashion- '
able edict has gone forth that it is the !
proper thing to look healthy and robust, j
The" day of the confirmed invalid, the i
"delicate flower,M and ail that sort of
thing, is passed, and now our belles are j
striving to see who can look the hardiest. !
The daughter of a distinguished naval ;
officcr ht?s been one of the jeaders of the
"healthy craze," and is now, for that [
matter. Her plump, well rounded
figure and s winging gait can be seen on i
Pennsylvania avenue nearly every after- j
noon, rain or shine, and she has the '
ruddiest pair of cheeks in Washington.
She looks the perfect picture of health,
but some of her sharp sisters have been
tracking up the secret of how her pale
complexion disappeared so suddenly. It
appears, so they say, that the young lady
called in the services of an old sailor
who had known her ever since she was a !
"wee bit of a thing," and told him that j
she was miserable because she never i
could have any color in her face. She
asked him to tattoo her cheeks a delicate
shade of red. and although the operation
was quite painful, she stood it bravely,
and the consequence is thatshe will have
a red face ever after death. It is said
that several society belles contemplate
undergoing the same course of treatment, j
Peruvian Women anil Tlielr TCanta.
Those who have traveled everywhere, i
say the women of Lima, Peru, are the
most beautiful in the world. There is '
something about the climate of a country !
where the rain never falls, and where
decay is almost unknown, that gives
them a brilliancy of complexion that
women of other lands do not possess.
Perhaps their national costume does i
much to heighten their beauty, for any i
woman, not positively ugly, would look j
well in the embroidered "manta" th-it
the ladies of Lima always wear. This '
manta is a shawl of black China crepe, i
and ihe amount of siik embroidery upon j
it indicates the wealth of the wearer.
Some of them are extremely beautiful
and cost as much as $500, but ordinary
man?as, such as the majority wear, can
be bought for ?15 or $20 in Peruvian
money, which is worth twenty-live per
cent, less than American gold. A very
common article of dyed cotton is imported
from England at a cost of So or
$4 fur the use of the negro and Indian
women. But the manta is worn by every
woman, regardless of her rank or
wealth, whenever she appears in the
street although in their homes, at the
opera.-and when they go out to afternoon
receptions or evening balls the Parisian
styles are adopted, and the ladies dress
with a great denl of taste.
The manta is square in shape and
about two yards in size. It is folded so
as to be triangular, and the centre of the
ilMU IS IJiUL'U*! UJJULl Uli; lUlCULtlVI, ?? ugiv;
there is usually a bit of lace that hangs
down to ;.he eyes. One end of the manta
hangs down the front of the dress as far
as the knees, while the other is thrown
around the shoulders and fastened at the
breast with an ornamental pin. Thus
only the face is shown usually, and when
a ma den or i matron wishes to disguise
herself she draws the f-h.iwi up so as to
cover her month and nose, and permits
only her great black, roguish eyes to be
jeen. And such eyes! Always large;
age never ser?m to dim them, and no
grec of ssifrdisciplini' can rob them of or
s.ibduo their oo<|uetti-h in-tincts.
The manta is usually drawn 011 c'osely
about 1 he fiirure ti3 to show its outlines
with the most ronspicuous distinctness,
and the women of Lima are as famous
for their beauty of form as their beauty
of face. They are always slender, usually
short of stature, and as graceful as
sylphs. Ihit they lose their beauty of
figure with maternity, and one seldom
finds a married woman more than thirty
or thirty-live years of a<re, if she is the
mother of children, who retains the
statuesque grace of maidenhood. They
ripen early, reach their prime at 10 or
17, and generally marry at that age. At
2~> they are fat, hut they never lo?e the
glory of their eyes or complexion. Their
stoutness comes from lack of exercise
and the excessive use of sweetmeats, for
they spend their lives in rocking chairs
munching "dukes," as they call confectionery.
Girls who have gone from
Lima and adopted the customs of other
lands have retained their gracefulness,
but usually at the sacrifice of their com- j
plexion-, for transplanted flowers seldom
retain the brilliancy of their native hues.

it is not to be wondered at that some j

The Most Powerful Explosive.
Nearly all explosive substances are j
nitro-compounls or modifications of i
them. One class owe their origin to I
gun-cotton and the other to nitro glycer- j
ine; and these are essentially the same 1
thin^, gun-cotton being made by the
nitrification of a solid body, and nitroglycerine
by the niirification of a liquid !
substance. Gun-cotton, a common ex- j
plosive that has been in use nearly forty !
years is made by saturating com- j
mon cotton with strong nitric acid. |
Nitro-glycerine is a compound of gly- j
cerine and nitrogen. Its manufacture I
is difficult and dangerous. As this ex- |
plosive is a liquid it is somewhat difii- j
cult to handle,and later compounds have I
been made by mixing it with solid ma- |
terial. Dynamite is made by adding to ;
nitro-glycerine a kind of infusorial earth, !
which is found in Germany and which ;
is nearly pure silica. Diralin, aticther j
explosive, is a mixture of sawdust or j
wood-pulp with nitro-glycerine. Sebastin j
is made by using with the same explo- j
sive a peculiar parous kind of wood ;
charcoal, pulverized before the mixture. ;
| Still another of this kind ha3 been made j
by Professor Nobel by mixing soluble I
gun-cotton with nitro-glycerine. The |
chemical effect of this union is to form a j
jellv-like substance, which is called !
blasting gelatine. This is still further !
modified by mixing with it another kind ;
of gun-cotton, which is not soluble in it, ;
and makes a firm substance easier to
handle than the jelly. All of these ex1

Still Fighting Fiercely with the
British in Egypt
A Battle in whioh tin Itebete were
Completely Routed.
A dispatch from Kosheh, Egypt, says:
"Lieutenant General Stephenson, commander
of the British forces in Egypt, who recently
arrived here with large reinforcements,
attacked the rebels who had been mimadug
the garrison for several weeks. A three-hours
fight ensued, resulting in the British troops
rnnhirincr Giniss. a village near Kosheh. The
rebels were completely routed. The cavalry is
pursuing the enemy. The guns and twenty
banners were captured. The English lo-st
one officer killed and twenty-one men
wounded. The Egyptian allies of tha British
lost six killed and thirteen wounded."
The Arabs fought stubbornly. Five Emirs
were killed. Twenty dead Arabs were found
in one house.
British men-of-war have been ordered to
blockade the coast of Egypt from Massowah
to Suez, in order to prevent the importation
into the Soudan of arms and ammunition for
the Arabs.
The rout of the rebels was so complete, says
a later dispatch, that General Stephenson is
hopeful that there will be 110 necessity for
further operations.
A recent report stated that the Arabs at
Giniss and Abal numbered 7.000, of whom
1,100 were riflemen. They had six guns and
plenty of ammunition. The guns were placed
in earthworks, and the line of fire was direct
on the Nile, so as to oppose the )*i>;sage of a
steamer.
Ab-del-Kader Pasha, minister of war, formerly
governor of the Soudan, in a recent
conversation on the Egyptian question, said:
"If the English retire *on Wady Haifa they
must retire on Assouan, and if on Assouan,
then on Cairo. Every pace in advance gives
the English a hundred friends; every pace in
retiring gives them two hundred enemies,
half in front, half in rear. England may
gain victory after victory, but if they arc
followed by retreat the English government
has uselessly wasted blood. There is not one
in ten who will believe in England's defeat. I
say that a retirement now would be fatal."
When asked whether the question was insoluble
he replied; '"No, it requires two things
?first, a fixed policy to crush rebellion;
secondly, money. Let England attack the
enemy in force, and after the latter's defeat
open negotiations. With native emissaries
and money England could detach the soldiers
who are now the backbone of the rebellion

When asked what sum would be required,
the minister said: "Perhaps ?2,000,000, but

run."

A Clinrch Trc.ubie Ij 'ads to Bloodshed
in the Streets.
A Detroit dispatch fays: "There is serious
trouble in the St. Albertus Polish Roman
Catholic church in this city. Charges were
recently preferred against Father Kolasinski,
who for many years has been the
pastor. An investigation by Bishop
Borgess decided him to depose the
priest. Many influences were brought
to bear upon the bishop to reconsider
his decision, but without avail, he
being firmly convinced of the truth of the
charges. The charges, however, are not believed
by a majority of the congregation, who
look upon the deposed priest as a martyr.
As the congregation refused to attend church
under the new appointee the building
has been closed for two or three weeks. It
was rumored two or three days ago
that the bishop had relented, the church
would be opened on Christmas, and the old
pastor restored on that morning. Finding
the church still closed, more than 1,000 Poles

an explanation. Tue bishop left his residence
by the rear door, and this
action angered the Poles more.
44 Yesterday afternoon a Pole was shot dead
while the crowd were stoning a grocery belonging
to Mr. Lemke, an adherent of the
new priest. The police made a score of arrests.
Police wore on guard all night.
"Early to-day the congregation began to
gather about tue church. By 10 o'clock
2,0iiU people were massed in the streets. Col.
L'trned had beon retained by the Lemk<\s
for their defenco on the charge of shooting
the Pole yesterday, and this morning he visited
the house "of his clients with John
Wagner, who is ident fled with the antiKolasinski
element. The sight of Wagner
enraged tue crowd and they assailed
the buggy with bricks, stone, and frozen
mud. Wagner escaped injury, but Colonel
Lamed was struck on the forehead with a
stone and stunned. The crowd about the
church doors were quiet, except when old
John Lemke appeared at one of his broken
windows, and then their jeers were almost
deafening. Mr. Lemke is seventy-six years
old, and after escaping through a back door
from last night's mob, he passed the cold
night on the commons.
"About 11 o'clock the crowd went to the
grocery store of Thomas Zoltowski, another
of the anti-Kolasinski party. In less than a
minute they broke all the glass in the
building. At the sight of Zoltowski cries
of 'Hang him!' and 'Shoot him!'
cou'd bo heard above the rattling of
stones. Through the paueless windows
Zoltowski showed his revolver, but the
crowd only yelled the louder, and drove him
away from the window by a well-aimed volley
of stones. A moment later lie appeared
with a \Yiuchesfer repeating rifle, which ho
lired twice. This incited the crowd to still
greater frenzy.
"The police endeavored to force the mob
away from the grocery. The streets were so
packed with people that this was extremely
dillicult as well as dangerous work. Sergeant
Nolan, with a squad of police, was trying to
force the crowd back, when a man in the
mob threw a large stone, crushing the sergeant's
hat and bruising his head considerably.
The fellow was arrested, and immediately
Ollicor Ewing, who aided in the arrest,
was felled by a blow with a
snow shovel. He staggered to his feet and
helped handcuff his assailant. The crowd
closed in 011 the policemen, and for a few
minutes the squad seemed doomed. The
crowd pressed tnem so closely that it was well
nigh impossitle to defend themselves. Detective
Tut tie was thrown on his side in the
gutter, whore he was beaten by the mob,
who were wedged ab >ut him so densely that
I10 could not draw his revolver.
"A1 ler a time he managed to regain his feet,
and assisted his companions once more in
their fight. Help came to thorn, and they
finally Iftndel their men in the patrol wagon,
i although every inch of the way had to bo
| fought desperately. Another patrol wagon
was summoned soon afterward to help the
| officers, and at :i o'clock Captain Myler
marched to the church with forty-six
j policemen, followed by several hundred
I citizens. A detachment was sent to reenforce
the men at Zoltowski's, and the nolic?
iliil t.Wir iittiirvsfc tn dvivn t.lin fr.iwil nwnv
| entirely. When driven from one stroet the
i mob invariably congregated u])oii another,
j leaving tin police to do their work over
again." Tliis unsatisfactory work continued
[ throughout the afternoon, and it was very
j nearly dark before the church crowd h tally
I disperssd. All saloons on the east side have
l been orde. ed closed until thj dilliculties ars
j settled.
<-The Poles are thorough]}' aroused and do:
dare that they will either have tho cliurch

"The bishop says ha will u'ider no circum\

I th'i deprwod pastor for the outbreak. Ko'igi
ions excitement is spreading and the bitter
feeling is growing. What makes matters
worse is the fact that just now the city is full
of blacklegs, who will naturally take advantage

DAKOTA AS A STATE,
A Question iliat Is to Rneaffo the
Attention of Congress.
Among the \\ extern politicians who are in
the city, says a Washington dispatch, it is
generally conceded that Dakota matters are
to receive a greater share of attention during
the present session of Congre3S than
ever before. It is felt that tha
urgent puulic demand for legislation
on the affairs of the Territory cannot
bo ignored, though just what form legislation
will finally take cannot bo foretold.
Ju Iging from the drift of discussion, nothing
but the division of the Territory on the fortysixth
parallel and the admission of the southern
half will satisfy a majority of
the people of Dakota. The people of the
Territory, as a whole, are in favor of division,
with or without admission, and there is
gn at earnestness on this point, owing to the
rivalry and diversity of interests of the two
sections. The sentiment of the north appears
le.^s positive on the question of statehood,
but it is possible that a vote would show a
small majority in favor of admission. The
southern portion would vote almost unanimously
for both division and admission, as

was ssveuty-tbree years old ana tae
wealthiest farmer in Central Illinois,
his estate being valued at $200,000. By bis
lirst wifo he had four sons, all of whom are
married. He never was known to give them j
so much as a cent. Twenty-five years ago he i
married his second wife, a childless widow. ,
tjbj was twenty years younger than be. It ;
was assumed in all the country that she ;
woull inherit the major portion of his estate. ;
He had made no will, but was expected to
ca l in a lawyer after New Year's.
' Two years ago he caused a great sensation
by engaging a Chicago architect to design
for him a residence which should be not only
in.giiilicent in all respects, but air tight irorn
fouudu;ion to garret, fie litile knew that he
was care.ully preparing for tlie frightful
death of himself and wife, as the sequel
shows. Rooney had a horror ol
lire, and it was to provide against
tiie fate which befalls so many unprotected
(ountry hotiK's that he directed'
the architect and contractor to spare neither
time nor expense in making the building as
close as a portable reirigerator. The neighbors
all agreed that the tottering old man was
losing his mind. When the structure was
completed the artisans had done their work
so well that with all the interior doors
open tfhe house had sixteen rooms) featherweight
te.its in all parts of it failed to show
that, there was the slightest draught. Rooney
and his wife had a sociable fondness for
whisky and often brewed their evening j
punch with the favored hired man,
who also was allowed a room
in the new mansion, and was their
solitary guest. He was a deaf Swede and
spoke lew Knglish words. His room was over
the kitchen. The other evening Rooney came
into the village and bought a half gallon of
whisky. After the supper dishes had been
cleared away he sat down with his wife in
the kit. hen,"with the little jug between them.
How jong they remained there is not known.
Just before trie Swede retired he was invited
to join the old folks and had two punches
with tiiem. When he left they were merry
but not intoxicated.
'In the morning the hired man awakened
wita a headache. His pillow was covered
with soot and a sickening odor pervaded the
atmosphere of lin room. Descending to the
lower nail, the stench increased. Adjoining
the kitchen was tho oid gentleman's bedroom,
and next to it that of Mrs. Rooney. The door
of Rouney's rojm was open. Peering in, the
hired man saw his master prone upon the
lloor, his clothing undisturbed. Upon shaking
the prostrated form the Swede found
it- !.'??? " ?*! MPiilflca Orat* t.hn fnna nf tha

dead, and clinging to everything in the room,
was a black, sticky substanca The hirei
man then looked into Mrs. Rooney's room
and the kitchen, and failing to find her in
either, walked to the house of one of the sons,
half a mile away, and related as be>t he could
the nature of" his discovery, A party
of neighbors, including a physician,
. returned with the hired man,
and a more careful investigation of
the premises were made. On the center-table
was the half empty jug and the glasses. At
one side there was a holo three feet long and
two fejt wide burnnl through the floor.
Near by was a candle, halt burned, and at i
one end of the blai-k rimmed aperture stood a ;
booted foot upright, a charred remnant of j
the right leg protruding Irom the shreds I
of blistered flesh and muscle. The tail, j
old-fashioned clock in the corner was cpan |
and the key was on the floor. The hanging
fringe of the cloth had burned up close to the !
circular edge of the table and then smoldered
out. as had the small patch on the floor,
within which a human form had writhed'in
all the agonies of a living cremation. In the
cellar they found a handful of white roses, a
calcined skuil and part of a vertebral column.
'It was evident that Mrs. Rooney was winding
up the clock when the candle accidentally
ignited her clothing. She was doubtless
weakened by the liquor 'she had drunk and
sank to the floor in 1 right. She was a largo
woman, weighing 2&.1 pounds, or more.
Once prostrated she was unable to rise, and

her clothing to her body soon

burned slowly through to the cellar the
remains were gradually melted into
the handful found on tho cement floor
beneath. Apparently ono log was extend-1
ed at length and burning off just above the
aukle, at tho out?r rim of tho Are, the foot
righted itself when dismembered. Rooney
wa3 suffocated to death. Tho hired man is
now abed and not expected to live. The
property will probably be divided among the
four sons without inquiry or contest."

ROBBING A P0ST0FFI0E.
IIow Four Thievev Served an IHl:
nolst Po*ima*ter?
A Chicago special gives the following thrilling
details of a daring robbery and subsequent
chase after tho thieves:
Mount Forrest is a surburban town thirteen
miles from the city, and not a syul was
stirring when four muffled men got olf the
Chicago and Alton train there at 1 o'clock
this morning. Thoy walked boldly up to
Post;nas:er VVm. I. Cronin's residence, which
adjoins the postofflee and a general merchandise
store, on the main street. Cautiously
entering Cronin's barn ihey selected the
fastest of thro j horses and harnessed it up to
the best buggy. Driving out to the front of
the postofflce thoy hitched the horsa One
remained as a guard, another scouted the
residence for an entrance and the
other two ascended tho pole3
near by and cut tho Western Union wires,
which run through Cronin's premises. The
telegraph office is in the front of his store, and
onirmir iiia nthpp awomolishments he is him
self an operator. A loose window was found
in the basement of the house, and removing
it three of the men climbed into the building,
their forms disguised bv heavy garments and
their faces concealed beneath black masks.
The fourth man watched tbe street.
On the ground floor Cronin and his clerk,
Adam Mobr, were sleeping. This door was
locked. The corresponding chamber on the
second floor was occupied bv Cronins sister,
an inyalid, and her nurse. The first intimation
of the burglars' presence that reached
Cronin's ears was the clinking of a skeleton
key, which awakened him. As he arose
in bed, simultaneously reaching for his revolver,
the light of a bull's-eye lantern was
turned full upon him and be was commanded
to throw up his hands. Tliree pistols covered
him. Lighting a lamp, one of the trio sat at
the bed, with a six-shooter in each hand,
while his two companions ransacked the
store, postoffice and entire lower floor.
They took *150 in stamps, in cash, and
diamonds and othor valuables to the total
worth of $1,500.
"Who's up-stairs?"psked the spokesman, as
they were about to retire.
"My invalid sister.''
"Has she any money or jewelry?"
"She has not. Don't disturb her, I imElore
3'ou, gentlemen. The shock might kill
er."
"We'll take your word for it," was the reply,
"women folks isn't onr game anyhow."
The burglars to.ik a coil of clothesline from
the store, bound Cronin anil Mohr hand and
foot, gagged them securely, went out tne
i nrnwH.?i inr.n thu bi:?<rv with the
II UI1U UVUI j rirzo
sentinel and drove off on the Chicago pike.
At Brighton Park they abandoned the Duggy,
and, turning tho horse around in the
road, whipped him toward home. He
jogged back tho ton miles to his stable. The
burglars divided the spoils by the light of
their bullsoyo and started to walk into the
city by way of Archer avenue.
Meanwhile C'ronin wriggled and twisted in
his thongs until, about twenty minutes after
the thieves had departed, he released himself
and then Mohr. In their excitement the two
men rushed out to the barn only half-dressed,
mounted the remaining horses bareback and
nosted off for the city bv different roads,
bailing to overhaul tho robbers at the end of
afi\o-mile gallop, a bright thought struck
Cronin. Pausing at tho little village
of Summit he burst into an unoccupied telegraph
ollice and. raising Chicago, wired
Chief of Police Ebersold the particulars of
the burglary, after which he continued on
his way to the city. It was not yet daylight.
Prom the outer stations police squads
were deployed in all directions. About 0
o'clock the detail which went from the Archer
station saw four men walking on the suburban
extension of the avenue. The police
hastened to confront * them and the
marauders, divining that they wore about
to be trapped, opened a vicious pis!o! Are and
lied in different directions. Tho bluecoats
kept up a running fusillade, but three of the
burglars escaped in the darkness. The fourth,
"William Kane, was wounded in the leg and
captured. On his person was found the .5150
j in stamps and Croniifs quarterly report,
j Why the burglar took this it is ilifllcuit to
imagine, but without it his conviction would
I have been imno>sible. Ho confessed every
tiling nn:l gave such information as to
! make certain the eventual capture of
i his companions. All tho men implicated in the
robbery are notorious crooks and jail birds
I Kar.e was only recently liberated from the
I penitentiary whore he "served live years for a
tram robbery. Oman's enduranco and
bravery are the talk of police and detective
circles. If he coul 1 have overtaken the robbers
ho would have undoubtedly fought them
as he to ?k two p isle Is and a belt of cartridges
from his store st >ck, determined to kill or be
killed if ho over got within shooting range.
j Sol Abrams, who is reported to be one of
! the richest men in Oregon, used to lead a
horse, packed with notions, which ho sold to
I people between Oregon City and Silverton
at an early day.
Tiie distress among the working classes in
Paris is so great that it has been proposed to
hold fetes of industry aud commerce for their

in the east room of the White House
a few days ago to pay their respects to the
President. The crowd was almost twice as
large as at any preceding reception of this kind.
j The President appeared just before 2

i such expedition that the entire room was
cleared in sixteen minutes. Several persons
tried to engage the President's attention with
private matters, but they were told to call
