Correspond ence of the BEI : . ] It has been oh- fccrvcd that several ladies of the exquisite class carry their hands out stretched , as if bestowing a benediction on the empty air. The secret is out. A notion prevails that this attitude will keep the hands youthful in appearance by preventing wrinkles. Therefore , the fashionable hand is worn much of the time extended , palms down. It is to be feared that benevolence is not on the increase. The position docs not admit of the hands holding much. But Just think of that ever present f-olio tudo that lives in the female soul , en abling women to go around hour after hour with their hands in a straight-out , open condition. , At night a preposter ous invention must bo worm Maria came to spend the day with me. She got through it , paddling about with her Dappers still as pokers , actually be grudging the necessity of wrinkling her lingers in order to grasp her knife and fork ; but in the evening it came on to rain , and she was forced to stop. Then , indeed , she was mis erable , lest the care/ul work of the day should bo undone by sleeping at our house. Finally , she sent for her hand extenders. What do' you think they wore ? Mittens made of wash leather , the inner side fortillcd with three strips of steel , that kept the hands fiat , level and outstretched ; and these articles were tied at the wrist with pink ribbons. Maria began to go to bed at 10.10 : , and really readied the sheets at 1U sharp. Her hair was taken down , brushed , and done up to wave at the sides and curl at tlio top. Her face went through a won derful course of treatment. For twenty minutes it was carefully rubbed upward by the tips of the lingers under the eyes. Then the mouth was hold open in the shape of an exclamatory O , while the cbeoks at the sides were rubbed from the ears towards the nose. A tremendous deus uiTort'wus made with the treacher ous sp'\ just under the chin , that will get drawn lines with the coming on ol years. For twenty good minutes Marin smothered her gullet. Then she brushed her tcetli carefully. She wet a lock ol cotton with rose water , and put in hci mouth at tlio base of her hind window tec'h. between the cheek and the teeth. Thlb isd o-ealled wonder for pro venting any wither on the part of the cheeks. All this time a decoction had been stew ing in a small silver plated vessel over the gas. This cooking utensil had come over in Maria's bag of toilet tricks. A hot and resinous smelling poultice was l the result. Maria daubed her face tl'Jckly with it , and applied a llannol- fin'en mask. Great Scottl She looked like the veiled prophet in that mask . . . . . and her nightdress. Outside lier whole PI * ' paraphernalia she laced an odd sawed- off sort of corset. It was hist a very wide bolt , flaring at ton and bottom , but it lushed up her victuals and vitals like a relentless vice. Then came the hard- tolcd mittens with their Spanish insteps f Into their grease-smeared interiors she plunged her hands and got mo to tie them around her wrist. "What if you want to scratch your car i in the night , " said I. "Don't suggest it , " she replied , bore a mark for a week when I musl have dug that centre steel into my eye. ' Then she wont to bed. I took a look at her an hour after. Those wash leather mittens wore stiflly crossed on her breast. Her flannel swathed face was upturned in the dim light. She was for all the world like the ofllgy in stone that lies in West minster Abbey over the sarcophagus of Anne Bolloyn. The hammers of the relic hunter luiv ) carried away much of An no's iipso and several of the lingers. The mask and mittens had the same general clTcct. It was reassuring to see nor turn up at the breakfast table after her martyrdom a general flavor of mild decay pervading her person , but yet a living friend. Some night Maria will surely swallow her cotton quid , and then good-bye , dearl She will never survive that accident. But just notice the dow agers and their daddies. As George Thatcher says in his song : "Sho carried her hands just so , And the villain still pursued her. " While the reader is perusing this letter the swell dandies of Now York will not bo ranking Now Year's calls , as might bo supposed , but arc leaving that old Knickerbocker custom to the very common fellows. That manner of spending the holiday has gone clear out of fashion. Neither on Sunday , nor on the ensuing legal Now Year's , will a single Fifth avenue residence bo open to callers. A few will have little baskets attached to the boll handles , for the reception of cards , but oven that recognition of u once-honored usage will not generally bo made. The tioublo with Now Year's calls is that anybody and everybody can make them. So .michasa hansom cab is not essential , . and if the maker of calls is too poor to ride in street cars ho may plod around afoot. The intention of the top 10,000 is to do things that are impossible to the rabble. Therefore they have abolished Now Year's calls , and instead spend the day out of town , as a rule. Murray Hill will bo depopulated , and its people will bo scattered among the country seats of the families , parties are made up for these excursions , the departure to bo made on Saturday and the return on Tuesday. Tobogganing , if weather and snow permit , and dancing anyhow , will bo pursued where no intrusions by the common people ehall molest or make afraid. The most regarded bride in the wide world , I think , has this week boon the new wife of Berry Wall , the king of the dudes. The pair have been to theaters nightly , they dine and sup at Del- moiileo's , Mid they keep pretty gen erally in public view. Mrs. Wall is not beautiful , but she 1ms a delicate , ro- Jlnod face , a good , tall tlguroand a very distinguished air. The strange fact about her is that her toilets show none of the accuracy and cure which are scon in the apparel of her celebrated hus band. Her gowns have a stylish cut , and are evidently made by sqnio clover ranker ; she wears them with some of Iho pfeturcsqucncss of an actress ; but there i a slouchiness in them than that ono might suppose would grlovo her spick-and-span spouse. You' could search the visible fa brics on Berry with a magnifying glass without discovering a blemish. But as 1 sat behind his bride I saw her gloves were soiled , her bonnet was of unseasonable straw , her collar was pinned awry , ono button at the back of her dross was missing , and altogether the lacked that scrupulous nictity of detail - tail which , t-ccmlngly , the king of dudes would exact in his wifo. I was in company with u man the fe , other evening who couldn't have told if the fj'irl of his nb cr-ltlng Inturcst were pauze or three-ply carpeting. Ho was the Venerable Luther Colby , editor of the Banner of Light , the Boston spirlt- uallvtic journal , and he had come on n visit to Now York to witness tome liow marvel in spooks. On this occasion ho was at a seance given by Mrs. Stoddard Gray , at B2J West Thirty-fourth street. Her exhibitions' arc transparent enough to an unbeleivor , but Brother-Colby has faith unlimited , and the medium made a special effort to satisfy his longing for marvels. A shadowy form came out of the cabinet and announced herself as his deceased sister , and ho vowed that ho recognized her ; another was his half- sister , and ho declared that ho know her instantly ; a third was pronounced by him the materialized spirit of a woman whose portrait ndorneil his sanc tum ; and so on until the particular demonstration of tlio evening was reached. That was a novelty , 1 think. ' From the cabinet into the dim light of the long parlor emerged the liguro of what seemed to bo a man garbed in black. He shook hands with several of the party , said that his name was Dr. Baker. Ho glided slowly off toward the darker end of the apartment and ap peared to settle down into the floor. Instantly there arose in his place a feminine spirit in white robes , with her draped arms waving and her fcot as light as a ballot dancer's. Shoswoopcd like a veritable apparition upon us , whispered mysteriously , made my blood curdle for a minute , and then retreated into the cabinet. Free masons are jubilant over the fact that , in their recent great fair , in this city , a great many in the guild con quered the prejudices of their wives against Free masonry , and got those to jo and assist there who had vowed them- 'elves ' life long enemies of an institution passcssing secrets they never mastered , tnd a power over their husbands on cer tain nights greater than their own in- lluenco. Now another strife has arisen between the fair sex and its protectors , and this seems not , likely to terminate , as that of the worthy mason's did , in a masculine victory. The now warfare is merely a phase of the old contention. The women are banded together against i rumseller. His name is George Hil- lon , and ho is a typo of that largo class : > f Germans who began life hero by keeping tlio corner groceries , and who , when the law forbade little black bars behind stores , abandoned the trade in necessaries almost in a body and became tlio founders of the then now order of showy bar rooms. Ilillen is the nabob of thorn all. His chief place is in August Belmont's old family mansion in Fifth avenue. No sooner did the great banker move than Ilillen got the property , and outraged gilt-edged society by converting the lirst floor into a palace of drink. The establishment did a great business from the start. That is the principal artist's quarter of the town. Ono who cares to enter a groggery nt all may see the ar tists dropping in there to order wines or cigars sent to their homes , and to enjoy refreshments for themselves. William Cliaso , the exquisite of the profes sion , and the man who made a mint of money by a recent sale and exhibition of his own works , sanctioned the choice of Hillon's as _ the artists retreat by tak ing a few friends there from some of the frequent gatherings in the grand mu seum that constitutes his studio. Well , Hillon comtomplatcd a still bolder move than thatof planting a bar room on the very spinal column of swell existence. Ho determined to establish another drinking house at the corner of University Place , a block west of Broad way. Now Fourteenth street from Broadway to Sixth avenue is sacred to the ladies and their shops. Every build ing is a retail store , and the sidewalks from dawn till after dark are crowded by women and girls , not of this city alone , but from every place on the con tinent. The word sacred applies peculiarly to this stretch of four blocks , for no man has over had the hardihood to attempt to utilize a store or oven a sidewalk booth for any masculine inter est , and not a drink of liquor was over offered for sale there since the street was captured by the fair sex. Excito- incnt followed the news that Hillon in tended to start a bar-room in this Adam- less Eden. This was what ho had aimed at , and ho spent $40,000 in decorating and furnishing the not very large room. The Mooring is a crazy work of imported mosaics , the bar is uncqualed in cost and beauty , and the back bar , with its great arches and alcoves , each backed by enormous sheets of mirror and framed by the _ most delicate carving , is beyond anything in the city , so far ns magnificence is concerned. Bronzes , stained glass , polished brass , bric-a- brac and curios are fairly heaped in the placo. But the stir that the tidings of what Hillcn intended aroused has proved more than ho courted. The women have massed themselved against the desecration of their region , the merchants have backed thorn and the excise board has been so besot with the agents of the women that they have re fused a license. For weeks 'the place has boon ready for business , but the doors are still barricaded , and tlio women laugh as they trip by. It is a queer struggle between a power not often excited in Now York and this most influential of all trades. All who know of the situation are waiting eagerly to see whether or no the poli ticians dare to defy the women. CLAUA BELLE. The worst feature about catarrh is its dangerous tendency to consumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures catarrh by purifying the blood. Wo Are KiiomltliriftH. Knowledge : In two states of the union alone ono kind of accumulated earth life , the petroleum and uatura gas store , lias been FO rapidly used up that within ono Ronoration alone stores which were millions of years ac cumulating will have been almost wholly exhausted.

IIOLLIDAY'S ' TRAIL OF BLOOD , Career of o Western "Klllor , " Bald to Have a Record of Sixteen. A CELEBRATED CHARACTER HIM KxploltH with the Knrp Gnnft In Arlxona Ills Arrest mill Hubsc- iiucnt Ijlfo In Denver Clos ing Hoc ni-s. Denver Republican : When "Doc" Holiday died nt Glen wood Springs a short time ago one of the most cele brated characters in the western coun try passed away. Ho was known as a desperado und had a record as n "killer. " Holliday had gone to Glonwood for his health. Pneumonia overtook him and the grisly rider BOOH after smote jlm down. Thus departed one of those characters formerly quite co'mmon in the west , but now , like the Indian and the buffalo , becoming quite rare. Many people who have scon him in Denver or the past four or five years never re alized that they were looking atonuof those men familiarly known as "kill ers" and sometimes designated as "bad men. " Ho was formerly a dentist. Hence his title of "Doc. " The homicidal tendency was already strong within him ! The doctor had an enemy. Ho wsed to toll the story him self and say that ho had every desire to the man. But the doctor was al ways a prudent man. Ho feared ho wouldn't bo legally protected if he took the man's life. The doctor wanted re venge , but ho was in a dilemma. An event occurred , however , which gave the doctor an opportunity ho had hardly expected. His enemy came to his olllco with an aching tooth. The doctor put the patient under laughing gas and be fore his enemy had left the chair the quiet doctor had extracted nearly every tooth ho had in his head. This feat of dentistry had a tendency to injure the doctor's business and the climate of Texas began to disagree with him. Ho went first , it is supposed , to that paradise of tough characters , the Indian territory. Later on ho emi grated to Dodge City , Kas. It is a little doubtful , it would seem , whether the doctor went to Arizona from Denver , from Dodge City , or from Las Vegas , Now Mexico. The latest-ac counts bay ho emigrated from the labt named health resort. Cowboys bent on having a , little fun would swoop down upon a town , getting drunk , shooting re volvers in the streets , quarrelling in bar-rooms and terrorizing the inhabi tants. The Earn boys do not appear to have bee i models of all the virtues' but their assistance in protecting the chief cities in the territory from cowboy inva sions was not to bo despised. Their as sistance was rendered all the more val uable by the fact that they were very earnest in rendering it. In fact , they found as officers of the law the strongest means of gratifying personal rancor and revenge. A deadly feud existed be tween the "Rustlers , " which was the general name of the crowd to which the Earps and "Doe" Hollidaybelongcdand the cowboys The Earps and "Doe" had been ap pointed deputy United States marshal , and ono day they settled the question of cowboy rule in the streets of Tombstone very effectually. The Earps had organ ized a strong posse of men. Ono day the cowboys came riding into town on their very spirited broncos , shooting revolvers vers and declaring their sanguinary in tentions towards the "rustlers. " But the "rustlers" wore ready for them , and from behind dry goods boxes and other daces of shelter they poured many murderous volleys into horses and riders. "Doc" Holliday used to say that his crowd killed thirteen cowboys at that time. At all events the "rust lers" won a great victory , and Tomb stone was a much quieter place after that. However , the cowboys vowed vengeance against Wyatt Earps , and they meant what they said. It was about this time that ono of the younger members of the Earp family was killed. "Doc" Holliday had vowed that for every ono of the Earps killed two of the crowd who opposed them should die. The doctor was a man of his word and two citizens of Arizona , soon after the death of young Earp , per manently disappeared. In those days the Enrps combined their positions as United States marshal with other occupations not quite so re putable. They appear to have con ducted a gambling house in Arizona , and it was not a very respectable gamb ling house either. According to pretty authentic accounts "Doc" , Holliday was a bert of "capper" in this establishment , and "steevcd- ' the sucker with lots of cash towards certain brace games , to the great benefit of the house of Earp Brothers. But the killing of the two enemies of the Earps broke the strength of their reign in Arizona. The doctor and Eurps are said to have been 'in dicted. The law was evidently not al together on their side this timo. Wyatt Earp and his brother lied to Trinidad , Col. , and "Doc" Holliday came up to Denver. Michael Spangler was then sheriff of Arapahoe county and the late Freder ick W. Pitkin was governor of the state. Bunco-steerers and tin-horn men were pretty plenty , but afterwards made un comfortable through the efforts of Sheriff Spangler , and the same lead in 11 lights in the confidence fraternity left town. Ono day , while Charles T. Linton , now of the city detectives , then a dep uty sheriff , was seated in the sheriff's olllco , a man who was evidently greatly excited came in and demanded the ar rest of "Doc" Holliday. Ho said ho had arrived hero with an order for the doctor's arrest. Ho said ho had seen the doctor on the street and wanted him arrested at onco. Mr. Linton wont out with the deputy sheriff. They encountered "Doc" Hol liday near Daniels and Fisher's build ing on Sixteenth street. The doctor scorned in a peaceable humor , but the Arizona deputy , much to Mr. Linton'H disgust , drew a pair of revolvers , and throwing them under the doctor's face , commanded him to throw up 1is hands. Ho then began to abuse "Doc" Holliday in what ho consided a very indecent manner. AItorttho deputy had cooled off a little the doctor was taken to jail. Hero ho remained fourteen days. Mr. Linton is still of the opinion that lie held at the time , that the crazy headed actions of the Arizona deputy precipi tated the troubles that followed , and which resulted In Holliday's never seeing Arizona again , but in making Colorado bio personal residence. After arresting the doctor Mr. Lin ton telegraphed to the sheriffs at Tucson and Tombbtono. Replies came back that the "Doc" was wanted at both places. The telegraphic connection be * twccu Denver and Arizona has perhaps ijcvcf boe.n so fully utilized. Day after day the Arizona authorities telegraphed that they would come hero. In the meantime the doctor's friends were not idle. IIo had a certain strong following among the sporting clement. Ono or two "bad men" from other parts of the state dropped in hero. Verg Earp came up .from Trinidad , The doctor's friends represented tkvp thing ? . Ono , was that "Doc" Hollluny was a respect able citizen , friend of law and order and a much-abused Inan. The other was that If ho was tatten bock to Ari zona ho would surely JxJ taken off the train by a mob and lynched. The news papers took up the euHp and urged the governor to grant a inquisition and have "Doe" taken back to Arizona. "It can bo sot down as a fact. " says a man who knows "Doe" Holliday well , "that the doctor had killed at leant six- tccn men. Ho usually looked out to have the law on his side and then blazed away at them. The doctor was a pecu liar ono and was a trifle deceptive in his methods. Ho would seem to back out and hesitate and net as if afraid , then suddenly ho would rush on his antago nist and before the latter knew what was coming ho was perhaps laid out stiff with one of the doctor's bullets in his carcass. The truth seems to have been that the doctor seldom lost his coolne-s. His re venge was not thwarted by a blind yield ing to passion ; it wassomctimesslowand studied und always merciless when it came. The case was becoming n celebrated ono. Thvro were delays in getting the requisition from the governor of Ari zona. Deputy Sheriff Linton and the whole sheriff's otllco were at their wits' end. Two Arizona requisitions had been found defective and the doctor was having the best of it. After about two weeks of suspense , Sheriff Bob Paul , came hero from Tucson with the neces sary papers for "Doc" ' Holiday's arrest , Sheriff Paul was cool-headed and deter mined. Had ho come hero at first in stead of the imprudent Arizona deputy , Mr. Linton believes things might nave ended differently. In the meantime Colonel Dowocsc and the friends of "Doc Holiday were bring ing all the forces of the law , sympathy and pursuations to bear on the base. They were making their strongest ef fort'with the governor of Colorado. But the strongest representations were made to him that if no gave "Doc" Hol liday up ho would deliver him into the hands of a gang of desperadoes and murderers. The authorities en deavored to calm the governor' fears. Sheriff Paul , who seems to have acted with perfect good faith in the whole matter , offered to take "Doc" Holliday back to Arizona with perfect safety. Not a hair ot the doctor's head , ho de clared , should bo injured during the trip. His plan was to take the doctor lo San Francisco by the Union Pacific , and then to take him to Arizona by the southern route. But the governor de clined to grant the requisition. He Mild there were water tanks and other places on tlio railroad where a mob of cowboys and others could easily attack a train and take the prisoners from the authori ties. It was in vain that Sheriff Paul Paul argued that he would take the doc tor to Arizona on a special train , and that there would not be the least dan ger. ger.But But the shrewd lawyers and about equally shrewd friends of "Doc" Holli day had other weapons at band. The rebitlt of their efforts led to the coining of a new word in Colorado ' Ilollidav- ing. " Probably the scheme that was worked was not an original one. At all events similar ones have boon em ployed in criminal cases binco then , and it lias frequently been tried with pris oners who have been demanded by Deputy Sheriff Hollings\yorth when he was armed with requisitions. The charge of prncticing.a confidence game in Pueblo was brought against the doctor and a writ of habeas corpus was asked for in order that ho might betaken taken there. The scheme worked. Judge Dawson , of the superior court , granted a wriJ of habeas corpus and "Doc" Holliday , instead of going to Tucson , went to Pueblo. There appears to have been nothing in the bunco charge. At all events "Doc * ' Holliday was boon at liberty , and SlierIT } Paul re turned much disgusted to Arizona. After the doctor settled in Denver his life became that of the ordinary gam bler and ho did not always play in the best of luck. Frequently the Denver police arrested him for vagrancy. For the past five years his life has been a rather colorless one , relieved by ono "shooting scrape" and ending with death nt a health resort. Yet the doctor had some warm friends , who speak of him with tenderness and put forward the usual sporting phrase : "Ho come of good people back cast and I won't say nothing in him. " "Tho doctor , " said Colonel Dcwccse , "Had just as lief kill a man as not. All ho looked out for usually was to have the law on his side. I said to him one day : 'Doctor , don't your conscience over trouble you ? ' 'No , ' ho replied , with that peculiar cough of his , 'I coughed that up with my lungs long ago. ' " Ono little episode broke the tnmo cur rent of the last five years of the doctor's life. The scene was Lcadvillo and the characters were the doctor and a Lcad villo bar-tender. The bar-tender was Billy Allen , a pretty well known character - actor about Lcadvillo. Billy was also a special policeman. The quarrel was over a loan , which is something which the ordinary gambler , when in hard luck , frequently has to negotiate. Billy had loaned the doctor $5. Some days elapsed and the doctor failed to return the money. On a Sunday morning Billy told the doctor that ho had waited long enough and that he had promised to pay back the money. "I know I did , Billy , " said the doctor , "but I lost what I had.last night and 1 can't pay you. Billy replied angrily that he wanted his money and would give him till Wednesday to pay it. If lie didn't come to time then he ( Billy ) would bo "lixed" for him. "Doc" Halliday knew what that meant , and was still more enlightened when Wednesday came round. The "Doc" had not como to time with the money. Ho was told by a friend that Allen was looking for him. Putting a revolver into his ppckct and throwing a light overcoat on his arm the doctor started out to meet his man. Hemet met him. It was in a well-known Lcadville saloon and sporting resor Both men drew their revolvers. BilH Allen dodged in some way and th bullet from Holliday's revolver wont through his wrist , narrowly missing his head. ' 'Doe" ' Holliday was arrested and taken to jail. But nothing came of it. The parties seemed to have agreed to fix the matter up , arid the doctor was soon after released. The event above narrated occurred about two years agd. Last winter and spring "Doc" was in Denver. Ho figured , though rather indirectly , in one or two little scrimmages between sporting men , was arrested for vagrancy and released. The latter months of his life were passed in Lcadvillo and Glen wood. After two months' illnc&s ho died on November 8. For fear of losing a day's work , many persons put off taking physic until Sat urday. The better plan is not to delay but take it as soon as needed , it may save you a hard spell of sickness. If you want the most benefit from the least amount of physic without causing you any inconvenience , loss of uppotlto or rcbt , take St. Patrick's Pills. Their action on the liver and bowels , are thorough , they give a freshness , tone and vigor to the whole syatem and act iu harmony with nature. A Peculiar Story. The pension department hns un earthed the following peculiar ctory : A veteran in Pennsylvania applied for a pension ns Daniel Tcnney , of the Eighty-third Pennsylvania volunteers , company F. A woman in Stanton , Mich. , applied about the -amc time as the widow of the same soldier. An in vestigation was instituted , and resulted In showing that the woman was acting In perfect good faith and believed that she wa a widow , and that , furthermore , she wa n good and honest person. Her husband was a worthless man , who ono day started out for n hunt and never came buck. The neighbors of Stunton concluded that ho had perished in the woods. When the snow went off the next spring they found the mangled body of a man , a black bear and a cat lying in the woods near Oarwell. It was supposed Tenney bad boon killed by the bear. It is now found that Tcnney was not killed by the bear , but had gone to Pennsylvania ; where ho took up life with another woman , who was his first and lawful wife , of whoso ex istence , it 1s presumed , the Michigan woman know not. Finally the Pcnnsylvnhia wife went to Nebraska to get rid of him. Then ho married another woman. Now the question arises , wbo killed the bear and the man who was found dead by the bear1 Tlio man certainly had on Tcn ney "s clothes. Suspicion looks toward Tcnney , and the natural conclusion is that ho may know more about the mat ter than anyone else. Meanwhile no ono has got the pension , and there arc three women who think they have an interest in the husbamlship of Daniel Tcnney. Mr. Tennoy is in Pennsylva nia and saying notlung.
