SINGING TO CONVICTS,
YOUNG WOMEN WHO DEVOTE THEIR
TALENTS TO CHARITY.
Kary and LUfcle Boraoaian's Helpful
Week Ut mvooUym'a FrUon Iaterett
Ine Details of Their Experience Among
the Outcast of Society.
There are two young women in Brook
lyn who have laid out for themselves a
most unusual line of duty, and who havo
so modestly and quietly pursued it that
this is -probatory the first time their
names have ever come before the public.
These noble young women are the
Misses Mary and Lizzie Borneman, who
have consecrated their lives to work
among prisoners and the very poor of
the city. They were born in the old
part of tho city lying beyond "Willough
by street and Adams, and in that vicin
ity their lives have been spent. For the
last five years they have lived with then
parents and sisters at 301 Jay streetand
are very domestic, industrious girls, car
ing for their younger sisters and aiding
their mother in a good old fashioned
way so seldom in vogue now.
Of all the family they two alone are
endowed with the gift of song, Mary
having a strong, clear soprano and Liz
zie a contralto of wonderful strength
and boanty. To them the gift seemed
to bo divinely given, and they decided
even while children that it must be used
for some good end, some purpose.
For a time they sang in churches, re
ceiving large salaries for their services,
but this seemed a selfish use of their
beautiful voices, and even against the
wishes of their parents they began on
Easter Sunday, ten years ago, to sing in
Raymond Street jail at Chaplain Bass'
morning services, and from that time
their talents have been devoted entirely
to this work. Every Sunday morning
at 9 o'clock they are admitted to the
corridor of the jail, and every Tuesday
evening, and no prisoner who has been
locked within those walls during the
past ten years but has been comforted
by tho sound of their voices. Once in
tho month always, sometimes twice,
they sing in the Kings County peniten
tiary in tho afternoon, and since the In
dustrial home has been started they
sing there Sunday and Thursday even
ings. Aside from these services they
sing often in concerts given for chari
table purposes.
Nor are their duties entirely confined
to singing. Often they are sent for by
some poor prisoner, and never a call
comes in vain. At any time they are
ready to go with words of comfort or
little gifts of some kind to the darkest
cell, to the most desperate prisoner.
Next to Rev. Mr. Bass himself, these
two young women are best known and
best beloved of any persons in Brooklyn
by the outcasts of society.
"Not a few times," said Miss Lizzie to
a reporter, "have we acted as brides
maids in the jail and penitentiary, and
have signed our names as witnesses to
the marriage contracts. Quite as often,
too, have we stood as godmothers to
poor little prison born babes. Wo are
often sent for to sit beside the sick pris
oners, and have seen deaths, too, within
the prison walls."
"Have you erer known mauy of the
famous criminals here?"
"Oh, yes. Tho saddest duty we ever
had to perform in our lives has been to
visit some of tho condemned men in
Raymond Street jail. I shall never for
get the morning Mills was hanged. lie
was convicted of wife murder, and be
fore his death was converted to Chris
tianity through Mr. Bass' efforts. He
often wanted us to sing for him, and to
the last wo went. The little organ was
placed just ontsido his cell door, and
thuro "vu wuuld sing nnd Mr. Bass would
talk to him. It seemed alwaTs to cheer
him until the day before the execution,
when, whilo we were there, the clothes
he was to wear, even to tho slippers and
hose, were brought to. him, and then he
seemed stunned and was like one turned
to stone. He seemed then to fully realize
his position, and from that moment lost
all of his cheerfulness. It was his wish
that we come agaia in the morning, and
of conrso we went and sang as long as
we were permitted to stay."
"Were you with any others at sucli a
time?
"Yes, wo were with Jefferson before
that
' Wo were afraid to go near McElvaine'8
celL He was .so coarso and brutal that
his language was not tit for us to hear.
He is the only prisoner we have met who
has not behaved like a gentleman in our
presence. When wo were visiting Mills,
every day Kramer, the burglar, occu
pied an adjoining cell and used to hang
a blanket up to his door that he might
not see us, and we were very careful
never to look toward his cell. Ono day,
however, Mills told us that Kramer
wanted to speak to us, and we noticed
then that there was no screen at the bars
of his cell. Ho asked us to sing some
favorite hymn of his, and from that time
seemed'very friendly. He afterward was
sentenced to two years and a half in the
penitentiary, and while thero sent for us
to come to see him. He was a desperate
man, and had broken out of every prison
in which he had ever been confined and
had won for himself tho sobriquet of
Bolts and Bars."
Few young women truly have wit
nessed such sceues as have theso young
singing missionaries, and their homo is
filled with little gifts, tokens of gratitude
from prisoners. New York World.
lie Never Lost "a Hook.
I once heard of a fine old bibliophile
who had tho price put inside all his vol
umes. When .asked to lend one he
would look inside it and say: "Yes,
with great pleasure. 1 see tho price is
thirty shillings, which will be refunded
when the volumo is returned." Ho ar
gued that if the book were really required
the money would be cheerfully paid;
but he foun'i these occasions were few
and far between, and, what is more, he
never lost any of his books or had them
returned in a dilapidated condition.

The Tall Is Weak.
There is no reason to believe that Mr.
Stevenson will strengthen the ticket in
the sense of bringing to it electoral votes,
as Mr. Gray might have done. Indiana
was Democratic in 1884, and in 1888 Har
rison's plurality was only 2,348 in a total
vote of 536,041). But Illinois gave 25, 122
Republican plurality in 184, and 22,195
in 1888, with a total vote in the latter
year of 747.C7G. The chances that the
Democrats might carry Illinois with a
popular local candidate are much less
than that they might carry Indiana by
the aid of a state favorite. Philadelphia

Why Tammany Will Be Interested.
If the intelligent citizen will consider
for a moment what the election of Mr.
Cleveland would mean for Mr. Hill and
for the men who now run Tammany
Hall and control the vast patronage of
this city worth to them thousands of
dollars where tho federal patronage is
worth one ho may possibly guess how
profoundly they will be interested in
his success, and how much effort they
will put forth in his behalf after they
have gone through tho form of indors
ing the ticket. New York Tribune.
No Hard Feelings.
A man about forty-five years old., hav
ing three new scythe stones' tied np
with a string under his arm, got aboard
the train at Smith's Centre, and as he
passed down the car to find a seat, a
passenger who was considerably young
er, and who also appeared to be a far
mer, called out:
"Wall, I declar but who expected to
see you here! How are ye, Jim Tomp
Bon?" "Oh, tolerTue well, considerin," was
the reply of tho newcomer. "How's all
your folks?"
"Able to be around, thank ye. Get
tin ready to sharpen up, I see?"
"Ya-as."
"Look here, Jim, I want to talk to ye
a bit. Folks is tellin 'round that you'n
me is mad at each other an ready to
fight."
"Ya-as, Tve heard it."
"But it ain't so. I ain't mad, and I
don't know what you've got to git mad
over."
"Oh, I never thought of gittin mad."
"It's jest the gossips, who want sum
phin to blow about. I married Mary
Jane Hopkins. We didn't hitch very
well, and I got a divorce. Then she
married ydu, and that set folks to
thinkin we orter be mad at each other.
Lands alive! but it would take more'n
that to make me mad!"
"And here too."
"How is Mary Jane now?"
"Fust rate fust rate."
"Does she git mad and go into hyster
icks?" "Hasn't yit."
"How's her breath?"
"Improvin right along all tho time."
"Glad to hear it. Willinto git up in
the mornin?"
"Perfectly willing?"
"Kick any 'bout milkin the cows and
feedin the hogs?"
"Not a kick."
"Waal, I'm glad on it. Wo couldn't
hitch, but I ain't got a word to say agin
Mary. Somebody had to marry her,
anditmightaswell .be you as any one
else. Don't you mind what folks 6ay.
I ain't mad nor goin to git mad jest
'cause you married my old wife. I'm
after another, and as soon as I git her

Lost a Valuable Kellc.
When the Army of tho Potomac,
in -the spring of 18G2, moved into the
fortification at Manassas and Centre
ville, the boys spent much of their time
gathering relics from the battlefield of
Bull Run to send home to their friends.
One day a gawky member of tho
Fourth New York brought in an unex
ploded bomb and started to extract the
load before sending it away. He should
have taken it to an artilleryman, but in
stead took it to a blacksmith shop and,
with a hammer and cold chisel, sat
down on the floor, took the bomb be
tween his legs, placed tho brass screw
at the point and gave it a heavy blow.
Tho next instant tho atmosphere was
dense with disintegrated blacksmith
shop. A section of tho batting roof had
business over in another country, and a
chunk of tho side wall went down to
visit the neighboring camp. Pieces of
iron and steel that were once tools took
an immediate vacation nnd lied to parts
unknown. .
When the boys rushed to see what
was the matter there tho man sat bolt
upright in the midst of the debris, with
his legs stretched out, a hammer in one
hand and a chisel in tho other.
"Gosh," ho. said, as he Blowly crawled
to his feet, "I guess the folks 't home'U
have to get along 'thout that shell."
Tho only injury that had been done
him was tho singeing of his hair and
whiskers. Ho wasn't even very much
frightened till tho next day. Now

A Dinner at an Installation.
If the dictum of the Vicar of Bray be
true, that he "who lives a good life is
sure to live well," then George Nevill,
who was archbishop of York, must have
been a very good man indeed. At his
installation a big banquet was prepared,
and the mere perusal of the bill of fare
is calculated to give ono an appetite. It
reads:

A Chameleon's IMtc.
The bite even of tho largest chame
leon does not fetch blood, though the
teeth leave indentations. I often pro
voke them to bite me in order to
observe their habits, and only once,
when one caught me between the fingers
where the skin is tender, was I really
hurt. On tins occasion tho thing held
on so persistently and firmly that I
could not for some time free my finger.
At last I was obliged to call some one to
get it off by forcibly opening its mouth.
Even then it did not pierce tho skin; its
teeth aro too fine and regular, but the
dotted triangular impression of the lit
tle teeth was verv red and distinct for
some minutes. Cor. Forest nnd Stream.

A DIAGRAM NEEDED.
Kaiharrasslac Effort of Two Tea as;
clety People to Attend m Wed diss;.
Not long ago a prominent young so
ciety lady of a neighboring city was stop
ping with friends in this city at one of
the leading hotels. There is nothing
particularly strange in this, except the
fact that she was here led to an extreme
ly unusual and amusing incident Stop
ping at the same hotel was a society gen
tleman of large acquaintance. Not long
ago it happened that two wedding recep
tions, both in high society, occurred on
the same evening. That evening, as he
left the dining room of the hotel, the
gentleman who figures in this story met
the young lady above referred to, and
after an exchange of courtesies asked, her
if she was to attend the weddiug recep
tion. She replied that such was her in
tention. He then asked if he should call
for her and received an affirmative an
swer. Promptly at 9 o'clock a carriage rolled
up to the hotel entrance, a young man
alighted, was whisked np to the first
floor parlors in the elevator and in a few
minutes came down with the young
lady, attired in a bewitching costume,
upon his arm. The carriage then sped
away to the northward, and in a very
short time halted beforo a largo resi
dence in a fashionable part of the city,
from the windows of which many lights
streainod.
The yonng lady and her escort were
at once shown to up stairs rooms,
where they could divest themselves of
their outer wraps before descending to
the parlors. While the gentleman was
waiting in the hall for the young lady
she suddenly appeared with a Beared
look on her face, and motioning him out
of hearing of every one excitedly' ex
claimed in a stage whisper:
"Do you know where we are?"
"Why, yes," said the gentleman, with
a questioning look on his face. "We
are at Mr. T 's."
"Well, I was not invited here," said
the young lady, with growing alarm.
"Well, what did you come for then?"
"I thought wo were going to the re
ception at Mr. M 's. I knew nothing
about this reception."
"1 knew nothing about that recep
tion," said tho gentleman. "I was not
invited there. 1 supposed yon were in
vited to this one."
"And just to think," exclaimed the
young lady, almost on the border of
tears, "my sister expects me at M 's.
What ehall wo do?"
The situation was so funny that both
laughed. The young man had been in
vited to ono reception and the j'onng
lady to another, and neither knew that
there were to be two receptions on the
same night.
"TU tako you over to M 'a," said
he. At first the young lady thought she
would go, but changed her mind, and
both returned to the hotel to await the
coming homo of the former's sister. A
consultation was held and it was decided
to keep tho affair secret, but the story
was so good that first one and then an
other were fnb on."
Tho young man has registered an
eternal vow that the next time ho in
vites a young lady to attend a reception
with liim he will furnish a diagram show
ing tho name of the family and the
number of the house. Indiauapoli;

Savage Legends.
Tho savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that tho world is a cocoa
nut shell of enormous dimensions, at
tho top of which is a single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is a
stem gradually tapering to a point which
represents the beginning of all things.!
Tins point is a spinlj or demon without
human form, whose namo is, "Root of
All Existence." By him tho entire
fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoamit shell,
at its very bottom, lives a female demon.
So narrow is the space into which she is
crowded that she ia obliged to sit for
ever with knee and chin touching. Het
namo is "Tho Very Beginning," ant.
from her are sprung numerous spirits.
They inhabit live different floors, into
which tho great cocoannt is divided.
From certain of these spirits mankind
is descended. The islanders, regarding
themselves as the only real men nnd
women, wero formerly accustomed tc
regard strangers as evil spirits in tht
guise of humanity, whom they killed
when they could, offering them as sacri
fices. Exchange.
The Growth of Seaweed.
Seaweeds vary surprisingly in theii
habits of life. Some species grow alto
gether beneath the water, attaching
themselves below tho lowest tide level:
others frequent heights where they art
left dry at every retreating tide, while
others yet are found in situations where
they aro scarcely ever covered by water.
Whereas most of them attach them
selves to rocks or solid bottom, keeping
to tho shallows, thero aro exceptions tc
tho rule, among which the most remark
able is the "sergasso," or "gulf weed,"
which floats on the surface of tho ocean.
Immense fields of it are seen by the
navigator, extending as far as tho eye
can reach. It is sometimes bo abundant
as senousiy to interiere wun tno prog
ress of ships, and it was this which bo
alarmed the crew of Columbus on his
first voyage of discovery. Interview in

Democratic Diplomacy.
There is fine irony in the Democratic
platform. It sa3's: "The Democratic
part3' is the only party that has ever
given the country a foreign policy con
sistent nnd vigorous, compelling respect
abroad and inspiring confidence at
home." Mr. Bayard's chief exploits
were tho negotiation of a disgraceful
fisheries surrender, a policy of mennco
and affront toward Mexico and a dc
plorablo complication over Samoa, in
which he cut a very sorry figure. Diplo
macy was tho weakest point of tile
Cleveland administration, and Mr. Bav-
ard its most complete failure. New

A JUDICIAL KINDERGARTEN.
Ceetlva Vw mt mm Mg
Seatoaateg m Trlmmnw.
Once upoa a tira, says George R.
B. Hayes, there was a ladge named
Redmfcn, who presided over a big terri
tory which kept him raciag from Santa
Cruz to Salinas aad SaaLvis Obispo.
The Spanish population was the chief
race to be found in that district, and
Redman knew but two words in the
laaguage, which were 'No tiesde,' and
was put to the necessity of employing a
court interpreter, who attended him in
his rapid tour of the big circuit.
It happened that a murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey aad that an
important trial must be attended miles
away on the sams day. Redman's In
terpreter had gone off to a fandango in
the wilds somewhere and couldn't be
found when court was opened, and Bed
man was in a fury of impatience. At
last, when he could endure the delay no
longer, he said to the man below in the
dock:
"Prisoner at the bar, stand up!"
"No tiende," said the man, shaking
his head stupidly.
"You don't savey, do you?" exclaimed
the judge sharply. "Well, do you un
derstand this?" and he proceeded to ges
ticulate vigorously with his hands and
indicate the motion of rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffly in his seat.
"Prisoner at the bar, it is the sentence
of this court that you be taken from the
place whence you. came on Friday, the
27th day of June next, be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your souL Now, do you
savey that?"
Tho poor prisoner shook his head in a
bewildered fashion and could only cry,
"No tiende, no tiende."
"Is there anybody present in this court
who can translate that awful sentence
to this prisoner?" demanded the judge of
the half a dozen of officials and specta
tors in tho room. They were all in the
same boat as the prisoner and could only
shake their heads mournfully.
"Well," exclaimed the judge, a bright
thought striking him, "I'll just show
you, then, this way!" whereupon he un
reeled a yard of red tape that lay on
the desk, and twisting it hurriedly about
his own neck held the two ends high
over his left ear, at the same time rolling
his eyes and wagging his tongue down
against his chin.
A dreadful groan went np from the
prisoner and from the others in the court
room. They understood the grim ju
dicial kindergarten completely. San
Francisco Examiner.

It is a truth in medicine that the small-.

the smallest pills, will perform the cure
nnd are the best. A. F. Streitz.
It is a fixed and immutable law that to
