favor of his son, whose standard was
raised In France by his partisans In
1872. In that year Carlos issued a
proclamation to the people of Cata

them to come to his side, and in the
following December his brother. Don
Alfonso, took command of the Car) 1st

he would retire to stop bloodshed, and

REV. CHARLES
Rev. Charles M. Bowen is the oldest
Alethodjet minister in Chicago, if not in
the state. Mr. Bowen is widely known
among Methodist brethren everywhere
by the sobrlequet of "Hallelujah" or
"Amen" Bowen, the origin of these
names being his werfervld ejaculations
during prayer. Mr. Bowen is upward
of 90 years of age, and notwithstanding
the fact that he has had his ribs
broken and la both blind and deaf, he
retains all the earnest and honest en
thusiasm that characterized his long
career In the pulpit. On the platform '
or in the street he is a conspicuous fig
ure, as his snow white hair falls in a
maes of curls and ripples around his
wrinkled face. He Is over 6 feet tall,
and In spite of his advanced age the
huge frame is scarcely bent. Last sum
fixed for redemption. France expelled
the pretender In 1881 on the ground
that he had allied himself with De

He seems likewise to have a few bold,

GAINSBOROUGH'S LETTERS.
How It Wanted to Faint th Countess
f Dartmouth.
Artists will read with interest souie
letters from Thomas Gainsborough, the
painter, to the earl of Dartmouth in
1771, which are included in the latest
volume Issued by the historical manu
scripts commission. A difference of
opinion had arisen between his
lordship aud Cainsborough as te the
likeness of the countess of Dartmouth
painted by the latter. In the course of
the correspondence, which is thorough
ly good humored and studiously polite,
the artist expresses his readiness to
make any alterations his lordship
might require and a discussion takes
place concerning the costume in which
the countess could be portrayed to
greatest advantage whether fa cy or
actual. Gainsborough speaks o. "the
ridiculous use of fancy dresses in por
traits," and begs to be permitted to
try an experiment on the question, un
dertaking to paint a fresh one for noth
ing if he spoiled this one. "I mean,"
he says, "to treat It as a cast-off pieture
and dress It (contrary. I know, to Lady
Dartmouth's taste) in the modern way.
The worse consequence that can attend
it will be her ladyship's being angry
with me for a time. I am vastly out
in my notion of the thing, If the face
does not Immediately look like; but I
must know if Lady Dartmouth powders
or not in common; I only beg to know
that and to have the picture sent down
to mo. I promise this, my lord, that if
I boggle a month by way of experi
ment to please myself It shall not in
the least abate my desire of attempting
another to please your lordship when I
can be in London for that purpose or
Lady Dortmouth comes to Bath. I am
very weil aware of the objection to
modem dresses In pictures, that they

mer, for the first time in eighty years,
Mr. Bowen was unable to attend camp
meeting, but is a regular attendant at
the morning services of the Cuyler
Methodist Church. The Epworth
League of this church is named in his
honor. When 4 years old Mr. Bowen
began chewing tobacco, and although
he made repeated efforts to abandon
the habit the craving for the weed mas
tered his good resolutions. However,
when 70 years old he conquered this
desire and for twenty years tobacco in
any form has not passed his lips. Mr.
Bowen and his wife live at 2288 North
Paulina street, where six years ago
they celebrated their golden wedding.

graph. Conao Doyle's Favorite Books.
Dr. Conan Doyle, the well known
novelist, traces his inclination towards
historical novels to the fact that when
he was .very young a complete edition
of Scott was presented to him. "I have
always had those books at my elbow,"
he said recently, "and I cannot ex
press what I owe to their robust, heal
thy influence. And next to him I
should placo Macaulay. I have a copy
of the Essays which has frozen with
me in the Arctic seas in over 80 degrees
of north latitude and broiled with me
on the west coast of Africa, but I never
found It too hot or too cold to enjoy
Macaulay. He was the object of my
hero worship when I was a boy, and I
remember that the first thing I did
when I first came to London was to go
and see his tomb. It has been the fash
ion to decry his style, but I know no
more charming avenue by which to
approach the study of either history
or literature. If my Imagination was
attracted and not repelled by history,
It was to Scott and Macaulay and
Washington Irving that I owe it"

WOMAN'S LATEST.
ha Has th Creases Pressed Oat of Her
Dresses.
When, a man wants creases put in
Ms trousers he sends them to the
tailor and pays for the work. When
the New York tailor-made woman
wants the creases taken, out of her
skirt and coat-tails she walks into the
up-town shop where she bought har
gown, pulls off her Prince Albert,
drops her dress on the floor, tells the
clerk to "hurry them up," and waits.
It takes about half an hour for two
prassers to do the work, and neither
gets a penny. That's where the com
manding1 spirit of the tailor-made
woman shows itself.
Friday is the great busheling day
and often there are thirty damsels
waiting about in silk petticoats,
sleeveless waistcoats, bonnets "tind
gloves, with pocketbooks and shop
ping books in their hands.
There are some droll spectacles
among them. While waiting for her
clothes to come up one girl will do
Delsarte exercise; another will put
in the time showing her stout mother
how to stand. '
Books on everything, from Sandow
to the "Heavenly Twins," ara seen;
occasionally a woman shines her
finger nails while her neighbor has a
hand glass looking for holes in her
back teeth.
The suits come up, one by one, in
beautiful shape; an obliging little
girl assists in putting them on, and
the exquisites go off to come again in
a week or two and go through the
same performance.
After a rainy day the crowd in-dresses-to-be-pressed
would delay the
regular business if the staff of press
men were smaller.

The Hairpin t the Front.
That old joke abouV.the usefulness
of hairpins will have to be enlarged.
It seems that men, too, have found
out its capabilities. A Portland con
ductor on an electric car the other
day, when a fuse burned out, bring
ing the car to a sudden stop,
hunted in vain in his pocket for some
piece of wire or metal to start things
again. But he was a man who had
improved his advantages for learning,
and entering the car, he asked if gome
lady would give him a hair pin. One
was promptly forthcoming, put in
place of the fuse, and the car started
on again.
Came Pretty Near It.
In arguing a point before a judge of
the superior court, Colonel Folk, of
the Mountain circuit in North Caro
lina, laid down a very doubtful propo
sition of law. The judge eyed him a
moment and queried: "Colonel Folk,
do you think that is law?" The col
onel gracefully bowed and repllcl:
"Candor compels me to say that I do
not, but I did not know how it would
strike your honor." The judge delib
erated a few moments and gravely
said: "That may not be contempt of
court, but it is a close shave."- j
SOe
NOVELIST AND CONDEMNED.
Where Poor Jean Valjean Was Im
prisoned. In the records of Yincennes and the
bastille the novelist will always feel
himself at home, but Bicetre has
daunted him, says Temple Bar. It Is
poor Jean Valjean of "Les Miserables,"
squatting "In the north corner of the
courtyard," choked with tears, "while
the bolt of his iron collar was being
riveted with heavy hammer blows."
This is the solitary figure of interest
which Bicetre has given to fiction. If
a shadowy figure may be added, it is
from the same phantasmagoric gallery
of Victor Hugo. Bicetre was the prison
of the nameless faint heart who weeps
and moans through the incredible
pages of "Le Dernier Jour d'un Con
damne." Then and until 1836 Bicetre
was the last stage but one (l'avant
derniere etage) on the road to the
guillotine. The last was the concier
gerie close to the Place de Greve. The
shadow murderer of "Le Dernier Jour
d'un Condamne" for there Is no real
stuff or murder in him and he is the
feeblest and least sympathetic puppet
of fiction is useful only as bringing
nto relief the old, disused and forgot
ten cachot du condamne. or condemned
cell, of Bicetre. It was a den eight
feet square, rough stone walls, moist
and sweating, like the flags which
made the flooring; the only "window"
a grating in the iron door, a truss of
straw on a stone couch in a recess and
an arched and blackened ceiling,
wreathed with cobwebs. Starting out
of sleep one night, Hugo's condemned
man lifts his lamp and sees spectral
writings, figures and arabesques in cray
ons, blood and charcoal dancing over
the wall of the cell the "visitors'
book" of generations of condamnes a
mort who have preceded him. Some
had blazoned their names in full, with
grotesque embellishments of the capi
tal letter, and a motto underneath
breathing their last defiance to the
world and, in one corner, "traced in
white outline, a frightful image, the
figure of the scaffold, which, at the
moment that I write may be rearing
its timbers for me! The lamp all but
fell from my hands."

A Novel Idea In Tunneling.
A wire carrier or tram to carry bas
kets or tubs of coal or earth is among
the recent achievements. An elctrio
cable is arranged trolley fashion,' and
below it is a thick wire cable so put up
as to sustain the baskets by means of
a series of small wheels attached to a
handle. These roll upon the wire, and j
are Kepi in piace Dy long ears tnat ex
tend below the wire on either side.
The cable is in the form of an elon
gated letter O, the upper or home end
having a simple transferring device
to admit of its being started again
without unnecessary delay. There is
a grip attached to each basket, and a
catch for dumnine the contents is af-
fixed to a stout post placed at the de-
sired Doint. A man mav eo down with
a light load, or the basket may be sent j
and looked after by a caretaker sta
tioned at the dumping point. This ar
rangement is susceptible of many uses.
Passengers baskets might be arranged
to carry people over places where it
would be impossible or too expensive
to build railways, or where there was
not sufficient traffic to make them pay.
Light freight, parcels and the like
could be taken in the same way. At
points where frequent stops were not
required, this plan could be made ex
ceedingly effective.

WHAT HE COULD DO.
Expressed an Opinion of His Own Capa
bility and Froved It.
The city mission worker had a lot of
boys from the street before him, try
ing to see what their capacities were
for other work than wandering. He
had called up several of them and
questioned them, and came next to a
red-headed urchin of about 12. As
the boy rose to be put through the
course, one of the other boys prodded
him with a pin. He jumped, of course,
but being on his good behavior he
managed to suppress his feelings,
though it could be plainly seen that
he was almost at the limit.
"You want work, too.do you?"asked
the missionary kindly.
The boy merely nodded.
"What can you do?" inquired the
missionary.
The boy could hold no longer.
"I kin lick de stuffin' out of de kid
wot sticked me wid a pin, and I'm
goin' to do it," he burst forth, and a
few minutes later the job had been
done thoroughly.
