DOB INCERSOLL'S DAUGHTERS They Have Never Attended Church Nor Knelt in Prayor. THE HANDSOME ICONO CUASTS Both of the YOUIIK Women Hold Views on ItcliKious Mnttcrti in Common with Their Father Homo Ijll'e of the Insrcrsoll's Homo Mfo. "Yes , Miss Ingorsoll is in , " and the ompiro-coatod butler led the way to the drawing-room in the great iconoclast's stately homo at No. 400 Fifth avenue , Bays the Now Yorlc World. The room , with its book-lined walls bits , of colored proclain and carved silver artists' dreams in marble and on canvas was beautiful enough , but the slim , sweet , timid creature , in her silver-gray dress , was radiant. She might have been taken for n Quaker maiden , for a mem ber of some now order of nuns , but for the daughter of Colonel Robert G. In- gorBoll that alleged monster , common ly denounced from every pulpit and by every preacher in every tongue and crcect novorl But there sat Miss Eva Ingorboll in a little slipper chair , beaming in the loveliness of her youth and beauty , and this is what she had to say regarding the Rov. Dr. Pock's address before the general conference of the Southern New England Methodist societies : "That is about the fifth time I have joined the church , in print , and it is so ridiculous because neither my Mister nor myeolf has over attended service. Once Mr. Carnegie invited us tq hoar Henry Ward Boechor. It was in the evening and the address ho delivered was the only ono wo have ever heard. Another time wo went to Dr. Collyor's church to attend a friend's wedding , and that is the extent of our knowledge of churches. " "Hut why haven't you gone out of curiosityV" "Well , I don't know. I never had any dcsirobomohow. I have been told that the music might bo entertaining , but I'm sure it can't compare with operatic music , and wo go to bomo opera or concert throe or four nights in u week. I have read a great many ser mons , but never was eullloiontly pleased or interested to care to hear ono. Our parents are not responsible for our atti tude. Indeed , sister and I are more radical than they. Father has always told us that he wanted us to realize the grcatebt hap piness in life und advised us to exam ine for onrbolvcb and to act in accord ance with our convictions.ro have had books of all kinds and all sorts , and friends to exchange ideas with. Father has read with us , and together wo have looked up references , localities and proofs , but the more wo know aleut Christianity the less admiration wo have for it , "Just now wo are studying the 'His tory oi the Jnq'jlutUcn , ' and can't bear to think ol church or creeds. My grand father , you know , wa n Congregational mlnlfatcr , hut mobt of our rolutivcb have been nxtramely Ulmvul. They nil bo- Uovoil In rollgicm , and BO do w < i , but neither they nor wo are Chrifailans. jThls distinction often tunuses thu people ple wo iitBt for the tirat time , and th y in turn amuse us by uliunst demanding an explanation. " Aa the talked her beautiful Lauds were playfully tying the long , silky ears of a magnificent hunting dog across his face. "Rust is ono of the family. We've had him llvo years. His temper is ab solutely perfect. They toll us wo have spoiled him , and perhaps that is a fact , but father is too kind-hearted to bo a hunter. lie wouldn't kill a bird or see ono killed for pleasure , and that's why Rust has boon allowed to live in the family and got spoiled. " Standing against her knee with his faio in her lap and the perfect golden brown of his coat con trasting with the delicate silver gray of her dross , the two were a picture for a Landseor. "Did I ever pray i1 Neyor. Wo were never taught Ipraycrs as children , but when old enough to reason mother se lected the prayers that are considered most beautiful and touching and told us , as she always did in making selections of poetry and prose , to read them care fully and learn the ones that pleased us. None pleased me especially , and I didn't commit any of them to memory. I could not see the wisdom of praying for or against things I know were beyond the human inlluonco. "And I never prized a bible as most girla do , not even in silver or ivory cov ers. I don't like the book because there are too many improbable and impossible things in it , and , worse than that , it abounds inj cruelties. "Wo doubtless seem horrible people to you belioycrs , but wo are very hnpiiy together and if my parents are as odi ous as some people fancy them they must Hlill have many very redeeming qualities of mind and heart because it is a tax for them to make now friends , , the old ono.s arc so numerous and so exacting - acting in their affection. In all my life I have never heard a cross word spoken by my parents , either to ono or the other , or to my sister or myself. "School ? wo never wont to school a day in our lives. Mother preferred to have us trained at homo under her own supervision , and father made out the course of study and allowed us to make optional whatever wo liked. Wo are stupid enough , but it is all our own fault. " The modesty of Miss Ingorsoll did not permit her to statn that she is a close student and takes great pride in her lessons. ISvory clay she learns a lesson for a French , Gorman and vocal teach er , llnda time for several hours of prac tice and personally cares for her ward robe , not only designing but actually making all her own drosses. Believ ing that too much valuable time is spent in a miscellaneous toilet , each daughter has her own peculiar stylo. Miss IngersoU always has two dresses 'a silver-gray cashmere made with a round waist laid with cross plaits , be tween which is sot a vest or "v" of soft white silk. About the neck and blcoves is a finish of gray ribbon , mid the straight skirts are simply htitched. A long cray cloak and n gray hat , with a gray silk veil uhrt cray ylovos com plete the toilet in which she walks , visits , drives , goes to afternoon enter tainments , studies and receives morn ing callers , 1 Cor evening dress is made of white silk or nun's veiling , and is but one fauhlon , gathered skirts , round waist , with V-neck and half sleeves. Miss Maud Ingersoll , who is u decidon brunette , wears black luce , Neither daughter has ever been seen on the struct nlono , the mother or aunt ulwnyri acting as not n chaperon but a com panion. They know nothing nbout shopping , larks , Blung , chums or beaux , and there never has been n time so merry or ji parly BO gnv that these beau tiful creatures were induced to Icavo the terrible infidel und his wile. Simi lar exr.mplos of family devotion thote must be s'lurBg tbo "othcilox" people , but p reatcr devotion it must bo impos sible to find. The entire family has a passion for music , and it is not an unusual thing for the mother and daughter to call at the lawyer's olllco and drag him oil to some symphony or oratorio uptown or ovei in Brooklyn , leaving a group of clients in open-eyed wonderment. If there is anything they admire in people ple it is their talent an ability to do something or say something a little bet tor than anybody else and if there is anything they despise it is veneor. Show counts for nothing with them. It is never tolerated and indulged in. Thorp must bo jewels in the- caskets , but if so they stay there , for neither daughter is over adorned save in the beauty of her own charming personality. So Rov. Dr. Peck , of Taunton , Mass. , "Bob Ingorsoll's daughters have not joined church , " and apparently have not thought of doing so. My MofKlibor'w ChlokeriH. 11. C. Doiluc in I'okt-DlsiMtch.

The statistics of the centennial travel give an idea of the number of persons in this city during the three days' cele bration , says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Over 007,000 nereons orosbed the Brooklyn bridge , -108,000 In the cars and KiS.O'JO ( in the footpath. Six hun dred and forty-two thouband crossed the Brooklyn ferries , The elevated rail roads in this city carried 705,000 notions on Monday , SliQ.OOO on Tuesday and 7/50- / 000 on Wednesday , a total of Ji.BlO.OOO during the three days. This is about 800,000 more than what the ordinary travel would have been. The No.v York Central railroad landed about 60,000 persons in this city , the Harlem rail road about -10,00(1 and the Now Haven railroad moro than 60,000.

FAIR LIPS SAVED HIS LIFE , AThrilliupr Adventure In a Mexican Outlaw's Gave. SHE WAS TH CHIEFTAIN'S PET. Mine. IS'i.van , n New York Opera Singer , Herself a Prisoner Ohtnins Slcrey for n Cap tured Traveller. A Mexican Komanec. It was during the long cold spell of the winter , three years ago. when the snow fell und lay for months in the mountain gorges , that business took mo ever the Comanche Pass , from the Chilili country , east of the Manzano range , to the plains west of the Rio Grande , says an Albuquerque corre spondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It had ceased snowing when I loft the placita of Cuervo , in the gray of the young day , and the peaks of Muscas lay dim and cloud-veiled in the distance. Over the Pedoriials to the cast the faint glow of a sullen bun crowned their white summits with a llccco of clouds that augured ill for this journey. Beyond the village of Chilili the way led di rectly to the mountains over the old trail that had for years boon the light ing ground of the Navajos and Mexi cans. The snow lay ono great white , glistening mass as far as the eye could see to the eastward. Westward the foothills-heavily wood ed , were piled high with the wind- ' drifted heaps that treacherously filled up the cadadus and obliterated the trail. My pony was the best of the sturdy Mexican race and bore mo safely ever the bridle-path , familiar to him , but totally strange to mo. At nightfall I found mvsolf on the summit of the peaks , with the river still miles away. Between mo and the town of Valencia , there was not a hut or a border's camp that I knew of , and I had decided to make a hunter's halt and trust to luck for fa'.r weather Jn the morning. Find ing a sheltered place I picketed my beast and made u tire , whore I soon had bacon frying and the savory smell of colTce llfling the crisp air. IIUPUICK 3IY SUl'l'KIl WIIB ovrr the clouds that swathed the peaks resolved into soft , feathery , fall ing Hakes. Thoiposition was not a comfortable - fortablo one , foe won had gone up on the Musca peatis-that winter and never come back again , and I was not front iersman onoughito feel perfect safety in the Miguelty ol my broncho , who , munching his ration of corn , content edly watohod the htonn. Wrapping my blanket about in j I lay down , decid ing to return 10 Chilili in the morning and take the more circuitous route over the plains to Albuquerque. I fell asleep and was awakened by a hand roughly shaking me and a pleas ant volco saying in Mexican : "Amigo , amigo , esto os muorto ! " "Friend , friend , this is death ! " I certainly was very atupid and dumb , and scarcely realized when I was put on my horse or whore I was taken. I had an idea that there were several armed , swarthy fellows about mo and that some thing very hot had been poured down my throat and something moist and dis agreeable rubbed ever my face and hands. I was freezing and had not found the process in the least degree a painful one. I was vaguely conscious , too , of booing a firelight , low , black walls , and hcaringa woman's voice , and then I know no more till broad day. With a return of consciousness I heard again the low , musical woman's voice that had pierced my dull senses in the night , and , opening my eyes , I saw a group of natives squatting and lounging about a room that I quickly made up my mind was asortot "chobsa" or hut built against the rough side of a canyon out of pales ( poles ) and brush , j Door there was none nor any opening for ventilation. The hut was absolutely bare of anything excepting some rugs of sheepskins and a few gay blankets that were evidently the personal prop erty of the five evil looking fellows who were intently watching the movements of a sixth. The latter was a tall , magnificently proportioned , manly young Mexican , with something of the air of a loader and the outlaw about him , and ho was busily engaged examining the contents of my saildlc-bags , and before him , on the earthen lloor , lay my watchmoney- belt and pistols , and against the wall , at his side my Winchester stood , far out of my roach and whore his long , sinewy arm could easily roach it. I saw no woman , and concluded it was a fig ment of delirium that had twisted it- bclf into my drowsy , half-frozen brain. I was most undeniably uncomfortable , and not in any Btato of nerve to be able to decide upon a wise course of action. At this moment 'the black wall behind - hind the investigator boomed to move , and I saw what in the flrolicrht I had thought was solid earth was a heavy , mud-jovorcd and narrow door which , when closed , it was almost impossible to detect. Again this soft voice was distinct and the words were unmistak able ; "Marino , why do you not conic'1" ; The words were Spanish , witli a for eign accent , that showed that the speaker was not of the people of this country. In an instant 1 knew where I was and the man into who&o hands I hud fallen. It was Marino Leyba , the boldoit freebooter of Now Mexico , upon whoso head a price was sot , and of whoso bloodthirfaty , cruel nature I had not only heard but had soon sorrowful evidence in the assassination of an American , whom wo had the year before fore searched for for days and at last found lying on the plain half eaten .by coyotes'and Marino Loyba's mark of vengeance in the missing right arm. And the woman was not altogether unknown to mo. She wab the mystery of the mountains , known only as ono who had come from old Mexico with Marino on ono of his predatory excur sions ever the border. The pcoplo in the eastern Sierras phuas said elio was French and very beautiful ; that the bandit had waylaid a party of Ameri can travelers , robbed them and carried oil the Eonorita. . Gathering up my valuables and swinging my trusty Winchester ever his riliouldor , the hnndbomo barbarian la/lly walked through thib hole in the wall toward the volco. There wan a muiner Unit ros > o and foil now and then as though a warm discussion was going on. I wasafaid to move , afraid to more than half open my oyoy to nco what the live was doing. Simply nothing , with that oxqulblto grace of entire freedom from any other bublncbs in life. T1IKV hMOKKI ) AND 1IUHAT1IKD , and apparently no more. I ventured to turn , ivhon on the instant llvo knivns gleamed in the right hand of each good follow. My time was certainly not then. There was an unmistakable quar rel going on behind the wall , and I felt that it was my Hfo that was being thrown pro and .con between tUo pre cious pair , , To make a long story short , when Loybe came back ho came up and giwo me u kick that brought mo to my le.ct.

HILL & YOUNG have the reputation of keepingr the best of goods , and they propose to hold this well gained reputation. Then , with the baino pleasant intona tion and in the saino llawless Spanish that ho had used to reuse ino from death , ho told mo to siribc , hnvo my breakfast and go back to Chilili , as the snows wcro heavy on the wostoan slope and Luyba's men wore in the Sierra. Uo brought mo coffee , tortillas , chili con carne and a erlass of very American whisky , and waited upon mo with the grace of hospitality with which these brown-skinned pcoplo entertain their guests. Then , gravely handing mo my few trinkets and refusing compensation for saving my life , ho led my horse to the trail and through the blinding snow turned his head eastward. "I know him , senor ; let him have his head ; he will take you to Cuervo , and come not this way again. Marino's men are muy bravo and they are very poor. " That night I made Chilili , and as my saddle was taken otT the tired brute a small scrap or rag was Fbund uowud to the lining. It was folded over and in it lay a delicate bit of foreign letter pa per , on which was scribbled in French , "I am a pribonor" The following day throe of us wont up tlic trail , but the "ehossa" was empty , and the next I heard of Loyba was in March , when Lackey , a rich sheep owner on the plains , wan found shot dead in his own cabin with two of his herders beside him. Loyba was hunted as a wild beast from that time till May , when ho was trailed to the mining camp of Golden and from there to the hills , where ho was mot one morning by the men-hunt ers and fell with a bullet through his heart , and his right hand in the clasp of that of one of the olllrors. who was giving him the khidly greeting of ono old comrade to another , while from am bush another , with the licmiso of the law to protect him , took deliberate aim at the betrayed wretch. Of the woman nothing was heard , and she beotncd to have passed out of his tory. A few weeks ago an old Mexican woman called upon mo and told me that a poor senonta lay very ill at her homo in the old townand bogged that I would come to her. "Who waits to see you , She is very tristo and dying pauvro- cita , " I wont with the madre through the narrow , noisome streets of the ancient - ciont plum to the bedside of a girl scarce out of lier teens , and whoso utory 1 re peat ah she gave it. Luhd than six years ago Now York was given n'week's racy , delightful scandal when young Dambinaini , ono of its gilded youths , fell madly in love with Mine. Ni.xau , a blngor of the opera boulTo , bought her release , spent , a for tune for diamonds and gewgaws and dibappeared with his prize. They wore heard of occasionally , darting 11 rut through the wont , then Europe , then south , but wore never locatedand when at last the youth reappeared in his old haunts Now Yorlc had ceased to euro for or remember the pet of the footlights. From iho ( .onboard they cainu west and stopped at- the famoiiH Hot Springs of Las Vegas , whore the nights , in the halls of Monte/.uma , were Illled with the music of the prlina donna's volco and the , popping of corks. The venerable piibsy cats slipping through the corri dor * and lingering on the galleries were scandaii/.od by the wild revelry in the mnnuellc s quartern , and one morn ing , after a particularly wild orgy , the young man WUH handed a bill , ohtonlsh- ing for magnitude , and atitcd that iimmsollo'b bulto bo vacated , They went to Old Mexico , whore they lauucliod forth upon the boa of llcoiibo ami pxlravagam.'e lhat culminated in the Lorloi leaving her lover and disap pearing with ti Spaniard. ] Tor fortunes varied and fhmtnatod after that , and oho decided to return to the United States. Before doing s > o , however , she joined a party of free lances bent on camping saturnalia in the mountains. They wore hold up by Marino's banditti and poor Lorloi fell into the hands of the chief. She had begged my life of Loyba and thought his suspicions were unarouscd. But immediately upon my departure down the trail ho had sot out for the south and established his lair ever the border. After months of Bull'ering she succeeded in escaping , to find herself without money , her beauty vanishing and her health broken. The end was not long coming. She fell into bad hands at every turn. She sang and danced throughout the min ing camps of the territory and then drifted to the old town to die. She had sinned much , but she had sufTorod much , and when the end came she lay as peaceful and beautiful in her collln as if the storms of pasbion and misfortune had never beaten her down. I had no reason to doubt her story , but yet I wonder if the frail , faded little dead womanwhoso thin , wan , mournful hand lay folded with awhile lilly in the slender lingers , ' was the beautiful sprite of the opera , who had sold herself for a diamond necklace and the fancy of a young prince of Gotham. A SEA OF FIRE. ' " -r I'liosplioruBcent I'MuincH ' Scare the HupcfMtltloiiH 1'nHHengufH anil Halloi-M. A sea of phosphorescent lire , extend ing as far as the eye could reach , was pitbbcd on Tuesday last , 185 miles east by north of Capo llonlopon , by the Allan line .steamship Manitoban , from Glasgow , now lying at Washington av enue wharf , bays the Philadelphia Kc- cord. Captain Dunlap , muster of the Manitoban , said yesterday : "Karly on Tuesday night the heav ens suddenly became overcast and in tensely dark and I left the bridge tem porarily , leaving Second O/lk'or / John- bon in charge , i had hardly reached the chart room when the cry of lire wan announced on the starboard bow , and I rushed on the bridge and found the sea to be like a mass of llame , presenting a bcene of sublime grandeur. 'Whenever a sea brolco over the bow of Vhe vobbol the drops of lire spread over the riggings and decks like the Hying embers of a genuine conflagra tions , where sparks were driven by a strong wind. Everywhere on the ducks were found tiny sparkling phosphores cent beads , which did not disappear until the next morning. For two nouru the , vessel was steaming through this sea of lire , causing coiiBidorablo alarm to many of the superstitious sailors and passengers , In the distance the uoa appeared to be breaking on a btrand , but a dip of the log without lindlng bottom indicated that shoal wuter wao near at hand. " This unusual phenomenon has caused considerable interest among sciontlllo mini , a similar fieiv having been fa'jon months ago in the bay of Bengal , which pu//.lod the learned 'headn ol Europe.
