A fascinating young lady from Phila

spending the summer just passed at
Charlotte , N. Y. , on Lake Ontario , and
before she hud boon there many weeks
• Bho became an udept at handling a sail ,
and frequently wont out on the lake for
exercise and recreation
There was a young man from Cincin
nati summering at the same place ,
who was known as .1. C. Cum
mings , who also enjoyed himself
on the lake during the after
Mfc noons IIo was of a very retiring ills
H VK position , and although a young man of
' excellent qualities ho made few
friends
Ono afternoon toward the hitter part
• of August Miss Hill wont down to the
beach and started out for a sail Mr * .
Cummings was of the sumo mind , and
i abmt the sumo time started out on the
lake a few hundred foot behind the
boat in which Miss Hill was sailing
They had not gone fur before a squall
was soon coming up the lake , and in a
few moments the wind had struck her
boat Hoforo she was able to right it
the sails and ropes had become tan
gled Cummings saw the predicament
'
she wlis in and instantly , stcorcd his
boat toward hors with the hops of as
sisting her , but just as ho was about to
run up alongside of the ono in which
she was standing the skiff veered
around and lie struck itamiaship Miss
Hill was knocked into the lake Cum
mings gallantly jumped to her rescue
and the boats Moated away from them
" * Ho grasped her around the waist jind
6truck out for the shore
' • " • * . „ , Ho had not gone far before Miss Hill
informed her preserver that she could
swim This was a surprising statoinont ,
but Cummings told her to place her
hands on his shoulders and ho would
try to roach the beach The water was
very shallow opposite thut part of the
beach towards which they wore drift
ing , and when they reached the socoud
bar they wore able to stand on the sand
and rest n fowmoinouts
In the meantime durknoss had spread
its fuco ever the wators.but the electric
lights on the shore illuminated the
crowds which were promenading nlong
the fitters edge
Mr Cummings and Miss Hill sturtod
. touatd the shore again and soon
ronched the flrst pier Rising again
they madb the last trip , and before a
week had passed Cupid had clasped

At that time a fpw settlers had gathered

ald Hoinsdorf's record as an anarch

She is a nutivo of Loipslg , where she is

The story of Rolnsdorf's marrlagn is
not without romance When a con
demned anarchist and a fugitive from
justice in Germany a few years ago the
woman who afterwards hocamo his wife
under the laws of the state of Now York
took a deep interest In him She was
at that time an unsophisticated young
girl living with her parents She re
garded Holnsdorf as a hero , and finally
cast aside the warnings of relatives and
friends and followed the man of her
choice to u foraign land , with poverty
and privation Her dream of happi

came apparent , and she brooded ever
her fate until her mind became shat

only way to save her was to restore her

Roinsdorf at lnstagroed to this , and his

A most remarkable courtship hasjust

to end the ngony at once Tloarrauged
to marry Miss Lyon last Thursday
night , but while on the way to the par
sons house with his Intended by . his

who suddenly emerged from the thicket
at the roadside and stepped his horse
They took Whitman from the carriage ,
transferred him to one of their own and
drove rapidly to auothor town , while
the girl was taken homo Each was
urged to give the ether up and was as
sured that their efforts to marry would
prove futile , because Whitman's family
would Jeavo no titono unturned to prevent -
vent It They both vowed , however ,
that they would remain true , and it was
not long before they hadanother scheme
on foot to outwit their enemies
They arranged to moot at a ministers
house , and they reached there in safety

A Caracas , N. Y , , lnttor says : "Ths
appointment by President Paul of General -
oral Alojandre Ybarra to be commander
of the local forces illustrates the fickle
ness of Venezuelan politics , and also re
calls a hit of romance worthy of the
days of chivalry When Judge Russell
of Massachusetts was the United States
diplomatic agent here , Guzman Blanco
was in the zenith of his power and
melded the people to his will with a
hand of iron He was absolute dictator
with powers as great as those of Pompoy
or Ctesar When this modern Jove
frowned , dread lilled the air When ho
spoke , all hooded well his words ,
Ybarra was a general in the army at
the tlmo a gallant man , and a gentle
man The bounty nud gruco of Judge
Russoll's daughter captlvatod his warm
hut warlike heart , and the proud Ven
ezuelan was led captive by a light
hoortod Amorlcan girl , with no care or
trouble to vex her But care and trouble
came all too soon Ybarra and Mies
Russell were engaged , but the contom-
plntod union did not plcnso Guzman
And then ono of Judge Russoll's reports
was published and the contents so
augorod the dictator that ho or-
duied Ybarra to break the
engagement This Ybarra ref -
f used to do , and ho was ottered the al
ternatives of expatriation or wealth
and honors in Caracas Overcome with
indignant rage Ybarra broke his sword
across his knee , and hurried from the
of the man now bo hateful to
lis eyes By the act ho chose banish
ment from his native laud , and , indeed ,
ho wus fortunate to escape with his life ,
as Guzman wus so wroth that ho would
probably have caused the assassination
of Ybarra , for Guzmun did not hesitate
at such trifles an u mans lifo However ,
by the intervention of Ybnrr.Vs roln-
tlvcs , some of whom wore connected by
marringo witliGucmun , he was allowed
to leave the country with his bride
The young couple had n hard tlmo of
it , and the proud Venezuelan was com
pelled to lecture , and ho also prepared
a handbook of the English and Span
ish lnngungcs
Two months ago Ybarra rotiirncd to
Caracas , and soon after ills arrival the
many statues of the Illustrious Amor
lcan , ' as Guzman delighted to call him
self were torn down by proconcortcd
nrrangoment , nnd Guzman deprived of
his position as envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of Franco
And now Ybarra is appointed to an
important position by President Rojas
Paul , who wns placed In the executtvo
chair by Guzman himself , nnd who now
recalls Guzmnn from his post It is
whispered that Ybarra is soon to bo
tnado secretary of war ft Mean while
Guzman is in Italy and many pcoplo in
Caracas would give n good round sum to
know what the grizzled warrior con
templates next During his dictator
ship ho succeeded in acquiring a vast
amount of property , and ho is qulto
well able , if ho chooses , to lit out a ves
sel and return to his native land In
that case a bloody revolution would bo
inaugurated An amusing phase of
such a contingency would bo the alarm

Guzmanitcs would lloo to the mountains

think that such an event will occur

In ono thing besides railroads , nnd

of workmanship , and in improvements
alfoeting tone , quality , durability and
artistic dovolopomcnt , America has
progressed , while England , FrancoGor-

where they were llfty years ago This
is a curious , fact , for these countries are
supposed bo to preeminently musicul

America , which , it is claimed , is still

largely instrumental in giving the
American piuuo its present exalted po

have been stilled by the popular preju

for this apathy abroad to peroolve the
advantages of now und advnncod ideas ,

How Statu Ituiiivnys Iny
Victoria is an Australian colony with
the size and populatfom of Kansas in
1880 , or an area of 87,000 square miles
and a population of 1,000,000.
But instead of letting corporations
build the railroads and giving land
away to get thorn to do this , Victoria
has kept its land and built its own rail
roads , says the Philadelphia Press
The result is that this thriving little
community of about 1,000,000 souls , or
the population of Philadelphia , had last
your an Income of $41,000,000 , and of this
Bum $10,600,00 wnj In the shape of
profits on the state railroads Seven
pears ago thoincomo from the railroads
was only $0,000,000 ; in 1880-8 it was
$12,265,000 , and for the year just closed
it bus gene up to nearly double the in
come of seven years ago , and as no ono
can build roads but the state , and the
state U an enterprising builder and a
good manager the prollts on the rail
roads will in time pay ull the expenses
of the government In addition , Vic
toria owns not only the postodlee , us the
people do here , but all the express busi
ness and all the telegraph business , and
the profit on those for this wise , thrifty
little state last year was $2,110,000.
Victoria has a heavy debt of $105-
595,000 , but as all but $5,500,000 was in
curred for railroads and waterworks ,
which pay a heavy profit , taxpayers
feel tolerably happy over it , and the re
maining fraction wont into school
buildings , which pay a profit in their
way , too As all the horse car lines
are owned by the pcoplo also , the cities
In Victoria got moro and moro prollt
from thorn the bigger they got , and
the taxpayer again lluds that It pays to
own these moans of communication ,
oven if ho hns to run in debt for
them
The natural result is that the surplus
laBtyear was $4,400,000 , the revenue
outrunning ostlmatos by this amount

It is , perhaps , on no sliiglo point tha
the Anglo-Suxnn and the Mongolia
stand so distinctly at antipodes as o"
their views of suicide , says the Jfort'1 '
China Gazette The ono looks at it wit1
horror , the other with complacency
Chinese books extol the taking of one'8
lifo from true patriotism , as when the
covornor ot Kinngsu porlshod by his
own hai.d nt the capture ot the city
by the Talplngs , and from senti
ment , ns when tin the death ot
nn unseen lever n damsel follows be
hind on the long pilgrimage The most
frequent motlvo is revenge ; Taoism
tenches practically that spirit msij- light
with spirit As every squnro has its
opium shop the remedy Is nonr at hand ,
when a wlfo is chastised by her llcgo ,
for instance Monte Carlo is not a cir
cumstatico toSoochow , There are no
statistics , but from coneral observation
It iimy safely bo put down that , com
pared with England and America.whoso
papers wo road , the proportion ot sui
cides is 100 to ono , or perhaps much
greater than this With tholr many
good traits of charnotor , this fcaturo ot
Chinese society is frightful , and all foreign
oign rosldents might use tholr Inllu-
enco to produce a healthier sentiment

Ugh ! What Is It ? Take it awayl' '
The trightoncd speaker was ono of several -
oral employes ot Pierce & Co , engaged
in handling hurdwaro in the basement
ot the lirm's establishment on Broad
way , saysnn Oakland Special to the San
Francisco Exumlnor Ho had almost
placed his hand upon the object that
iiad startled him
' 'Looic outl It'sacontlpodo , nndabig
one , too , " cried ono of his companions
"It must have got into ono of the pack
ages from bananas or ether goods
shipped at a southern port while the
hardware was on board the vessel on Its
way from the east "
This was ample warning to prevent
cureless meddling with the centipede ,
but the hardware men determined to
capture him , aud after a little olTort the
many-logged curio was scooped up on a
shovel nnd curried upstnlrs But oven
then they did not know what to do with
their nrlzo
Iu the drug store adjoining was a
monster ratllesnako , kept as a curiosity
in a box in the show window
Lets put him in with thorattlorand
start u Zoo , " said ono of the group , and
the suggestion wus received with ap
proval The ccntlpodo was carried in
und dumped into the box with the rat
tlesnake An omnious rattle and quiv
ering of the body of the snnko showed
that bo resented the intrusion , and the
centipede , apparently realizing his dan
ger , made frantic otforts to escape by
crawling around the edges of the box
The rattler glared with fury upon the
venomous crawler , and attempted sev
eral times to cell nnd strike the in
truder ; but the space ot the box was too
limited , and , utter sovcrnl vain ell ort3 ,
which all the time ware accompanied
by an angry rattling , the snnko , gliding
forward w'th ' darting tongue , gradually
closed up on his enemy , and the centi
pede was soon writhing in its last ago
nies
nies.But it was not vanquished without re
taliation The many Iocs ot the ccntl
podo had boon dointr their deadly work
and wl.en the snake moved away from
his victim he himself bognn lb show
signs of distress Ho tossed about from
ono side ot his box to the ether , rolled
ever , celled nnd uncoiled his scaly
length and in every way except by cries
betrayed his agony to the group of in
terested spectators
In about an hour the body of the
snake bocran to swell rapidly His
struggles became gradually weaker and
in two hours from the tlmo the tight
commenced his snakeship rolled over
and died
The poison of the centipede had done
its fatal work The body of the snnko
was swollen to twice its natural size
The rattlesnake and the centipede lay
dead together In the box , and thus
ended this strange duel to the death

the water of the streams which have
their sources near the mountain was
much discolored and gave forth an
unpleasant sinoll About ; mid
night the sound of thunder peals
was hoard tb a distance ot seven
miles from the volcano , the noises con
tinuing during the whole night The
watchman at the hot springs at the
foot ot the mountain was so alarmed by
the phenomenon that ho Hod to the
noarosf hamlet , where ho reported that
the springs were throwing up jots ot
muddy water to a hoighth of several

the country folks became aware that
the mountain , wns in active eruption ,
throwing out ilro and ashes , the latter
ot which spread over the country to a

The fnmoUB Strokr geyser wns not the
largest of the Iceland geysers , but was
a curious and amusing one , ns it could
bo made to eject water by nrtlllcial
means This was done by filling up Its
mouth with 8odsuntil there was no hole
left by which the stonm could cscnpo ,
when it vomited the whole mass with a
gigantic spout
On the occasion of our correspon
dents visit , says au ICnghsh paper , the
emetic had to bo repeated ( our times ,
and at last two hours elapsed before
these olfects were rewarded The
party had nearly dlspalred of the erup
tion ever taking place , when there was
a sudden start among the guides , who
were standing by the edge ot the orator ,
and sbriok from them , "Ho conical
Thou a huge column of boiling water
ascended straight In the air to a holght
of seventy feet , the spray being ojoctcd
to a considerably distance The erup
tion was accompanied by a rumbling
nolso aud a hissing sound as the shafts
of water ascended
The visitors stood and watched the
olfect a few foot distant from this boil
ing column , fooling the rumbling under
tholr feet , and hb the wind blow the
steam hack it foil iu condensed drops ,
like rain ; but wonderful to relate , al
though so lately boiling , it was now
quitu cold
This great fountnlu display continued
for a quarter of an hour Then , grad

cured by the use of Ayers Saisapa-

other , nnd take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system Wo challenge attention to this
testimony :
About two years ago nftcr suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout , being able to walk only with great
discomfort , nnd having tried vaiious
remedies , Including mineral waters ,
without relief , I saw by nn advertise
ment In a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plaint , ufter long suffering , by taking
Ayer'e Sarsaparllla I then decided to
make a trial of this medicine , and took
it regularly for eight months , and nm
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure I have since had no return
turn of the discaso " Mrs K , Irving
Dodge , 110 West 125th st , Now York
Ono year ago I was taken 111 with
inflammatory rheumatism , being con
fined to my house six months I came
out of the sickness very much debili
tated , with no appetite , anil my system
disordered In every wnv I commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparllla nnd begnn to
improve at once , gaining in strength
and soon recovering my usnnl health
I cannot s y too much in praise of this
well-known medicine " Mrs L. A.
