meet wlverhity un to mltigato Its Ijlttor-

novcr BO notably ns in the hours when
her recent turrllrto aflllction was new and

spring on the "basis of freer oxpontll-

Btreot of Los Anpolos wns rented and
occupied ; in this pretty house , which
General Fremont did not live to sco ,
his devoted wife was fated to receive the
unexpected Intelligence of his death.
Stunned at first , she quickly rallied her
facullioH , and toning up her spirits
clcnrly saw nnd said that lo despond was
idle despondency could not lielo ; who
could arm would face the now , and for

told before on the authority of her
neighbors and friends. And now , from a
private loiter that wo have aeon , It may
bo btatod just how tills courageous
woman did fnco tho- obstacles to her
pence and comfort.
First , she resolved to surrender the
hotter house she had but lately taken ;
this she promptly did , after securing one
about half the BI/.O in a street fur ic s

moved without a visible regret. Her
pride was not in the least humbled as
It wns not houses , or furniture , or
lands , or any such things in which lior
pride wiis centered. In poverty , as she
Is , still the things of the mind arehers. .
And so it is that in this small dwelling1 ,

proud service of twenty-five vonrs , is a

Insurance 1'or Women.
The question of insuring the lives of
women is exciting n great deal ol inter
est just now , says the Philadelphia
Leader. The women claim that every
privilege and advantage grnatod to men
in the present progressive ago should
likewise no granted to women.
A well known Insurance agent said ( ho
other day :
"Wo insure women , but wo have not
made It the feature that It could be
made. "Wohnvo not Bought for women
as we have the men , and on account oE
the physical risks which beset woman
wo tax her $3 additional for each 31.000
of Insurance. There is a prospoetively
Inrgulmsiness ahead for this line of in
surance , nnd if vomon agents would
work It up II would not bo long until
women would moot on nil cnuallty with
men in insurance business. Wo do not
limit our women who insure to the
bread-winners , but wo can show by our
books many women of wealh. Neither
do wo limit ago. Wo have girls of
llftecn and wo have elderly ladles. Wo
have three young Vassal- students who
are insured for SoO.OOO each , and two
married women I can recall insured for
8100,000 each. The additional lax on
women's insurance is retained in some
cases , because it is not generally accept
ed yet that a woman's life has n mone
tary valuo. And yet no woman who is
partner in her husband's ' business , the
widow who supports her fam
ily , the daughter who hcopa
the wolf from the door , certainly has
a monetary vnluo and It ought to bo rec
ognized. To remedy the evil I would
recommend good trained women ivgonta
to handle this department. It is a Hold
of work not yet impro-ved by women toil
ers ot the city and ought to pay well ,
"Single women 810 extra on every
thousand. You sco ; young women are
jreat risks. 'Inch'health is not reliable ,
They are apt to marry ' '
"Or smoke cigarettes or break their
icnds playing baseball or dlo of dissipa-
; ion , " interrupted an Indignant young
ady in the vicinity.
"Well , the rate is less for mothers
with children , " said the representative
soothingly. "Wo charge such only $5
extra a thousand , that is , if they are
women of fifty or thereabouts. Oyor
: hatngo wo grant them the same privi *
ego as mon. Statistics show us that
women who llvo over fifty years of ajro
ire oven hotter risks than men. Wo
iavo special insurance blanks for women
nnd wo deal with them harder than wo
do with men. Her morals must bo emi
nently satisfactory , and her family his
tory Is closely inquired into. Many an
sxecllent woman , morally and physical-
y , has been rejected by our company on
iccount of the ( lollcionciosof her family.
Wo make no effort.to secure women , but
hose who apply are courteously treated ,
and If they are willing to take the extra
ax wo willingly examine and enroll
them. "
A New Work for Women.
In jPnris , that great city where all
one's needs and caprices nro catered , to ,
hoi'o are professions for -women entirely
unknown in this country , says the "La
dies' ' Homo Journal. And ono is tlio pro-
esblonal packer. When you think of
jolng away. Is not ono of your slu-hs as to
.iow . you shall got all your belongings.
, n your trunks/ When you reach
vour destination don't ' you find
Lhem creased , mussed , and , if possible ,
what a tiny woman near mo calls "in
smithereens ? "
"Well , the packer comes in , you tell
lior what you want to take away , and
then let her do lior work. Sidrts are
skillfully folded , bodices have sheets of
tlssuo paper laid between them ,
and tlio sleeves are stuffed to
shape with it ; slippers have their
toes filled with raw cotton so thoy.do not
reach their destination liattoiicd-
out ; and hats and bonnets have tapes at
tached to them so that they may ho
pinned to the box or troy and -will not
move until you are ready to lift them
out. This Is a work for which a Imsy or
rich woman will pay well , and a woman
who becomes export at it , can In the
going-awny time make that mysterious
amount known as "a tidy llttlo bum"
very easily. , The packer conies to the
house , takes oil'her bodice and assumes
a loose jacket , and then she is ready for
her work. Who , among the many vrho
are asking for boinothing for a woman to
do , will start in this profession ? It is.a
a work easily learned , and oilers a vari
ety that must appeal to every woman.
Neither is It irksome ; hence , a. profes

advantages of n woman's skill ,

Iho following account of tno escape of
Christian Hladaa Lnuterbrunnonguide ,
a sent to tlio London Times by u corrca-
> ondontat Murrcn :
"Linda , having accompanied a gentle-
nan as second guide over the Tsehlngel
jlacier , was dismissed at the village of

quired. HeloftRicd on Sunday , the
27th Imt. , at dajbrcak , alone , with Iho
object of returning to Lautorbrunnon ,
Ho crossed the Potersgrat , and , Instead
of taking the route of tlio Tschliigol
jass , hocho30 tlio shorter ono across the
; laclorbetween the Multhorn and the
rschingolhorn , where ho foil into n. cro-
asso about ! or8 a. m. on Sunday. On
Wednesday morning Unit is seventy-two
lours later a gentleman spending the
summer hero , in ascending the Tschln-
jclhorn with Frltx Graf of Liuterbrun-
ica ns guide , passed the spot where
lilnda was engulfed , nnd noticing an Ice
ixo an the cdg-o of the crevasse , peered
down and sawLlndnnt the bottom. A
ope was lot down , which Linda \vaa \
fortunately abb to secure round his
waist. With dllllculty ho was raised to
the mouth of the crevasse , hut bolng a
very heavy man , his two rescuers wore
lot powerful enough to bring him to the
surface. It was then decided that the
gentleman should remain on the glacier
while Graf obtained the necessary tackle
uid assistance to rescue the ico-entombed
nan. Thcso were obtained at the Steln-
jcrg liut , or chalet , nnd when Linda was
lauled up ho was found to bo nonrly
dead. Ho was carried to the Steinberg
lut , and was removed to the hospital at
rntorlnkon , his recovery bolng doubtful.
During tlio seventy-two hours Liinda
was in the crevasse ho had no food , for
10 was so tightly jammed between the
walls of ice ho could not got at the pro
visions ho carried In a hag on his bade ,
lie was , however , able to lick the ice
with his tongue. It is estimated that ho
was found at a depth ol fifty feot. No
ono will bo surprised to hear that hi s
liands and feet are terribly frostbitten ;
Iho marvel is that , situated as lie was
for so many hours without food to sustain
animal heat , ho wu not frozen to death.
.Again , It is remarkable that the rescuers
should have iusned ever not only tlio
exact spot where Linda fell in , but just
in tirno tosavohini. Lindais fllty-three
years of ago. "
Much amusement luisbeen caused here
hy the trial of an action in which N. do
Caste , the deputy for Brest , sought to
have his daughter who IB forty years of
ago declared incompetent to manage
lior own affairs , writes the Paris corre
spondent to the London Telegraph. The
lady was married to a Jf. Ei < iuirou. M.
do CJasto is the champion of 4'\Vomon'ti
Rights" in the French chamber. Not
only would ho give women votes , but ho
is anxious to sco thorn , sitting in parlia
ment as douutles or fconators. A fort
night ago ho introduced a hill to that ef
fect , but It was rejected summarily with
out discussion. It was , therefore , with
iurpriso that politicians heard the ab
negation of his cherished principle of
women being as good as mon it not bet
tor in managing the affairs of the na
tion , ns Avcll as their own. by seeking
this interdiction iigainst Ills own daugh
ter. M. do Gusto set up the plea that
JIadamo Gsqtilrou was hysterical. The
lady's reply wis emphatic and disclosed
a peculiar system of education.
" "You JTam and "
say nervous hysterical ,
was the answer to her father's request ;
"well , it Is not your fault If I am not
driven crazy. You were not a father tome
mo , you were only a professor. You
wearied mo almost to distraction. Dur
ing the night you used to como into my
room and put questions to mo inEnglisli ,
Gorman or some other language , and
half asleep as I was you insisted upon
mo answering in the tame tongue , with
your hoTjby about the equality and the
rights of woman I learned when I wns
sovcn things which only married people

Interdiction. "

A'horriblo case of kidnapping is re

According to theKnglishnotlon olius-
'tlco a lady who lately llred nt lior faith
less husband , and \VJH prevented from
killing him only In ; tlio Interposition ot
n simple button , vliicb stopped the bul
let , was guilty of conduct which deserved -
served punishment , nays a 1'arisdispatch
to the London lj ily Telegraph , A
French magistrate , however , baa only
fined a dcllnauunt of this kind . 4 , re
marking nt the same \tlinc \ that she was
well deserving of 3j nipathy and retrain
ing from cautioning nor against
the inadvlsnbillty ot taking the' law
Into her own hands. Certainly the wlfo
told a pitiful tale. Her hubliand is a
comparatively voaltliy man , but ho
turned her and her daughter out of doors ,
refused to contribute to their support ,
nnd allowed certuln fcmalofricndsof hU
to send thomsonio oonimon dry bresid
as an olcomcuynary dole ot the satirical-
order. .A climax , however , was reached ,
from the French point of view , when ho
allowed himself to bo subjugated coin-
nlololy , as hH wile stated In court , by a
I'ruislaii. Porhnps this fitnteinoiitmado
a deep Impression on the magistrate ,
who in probably n patriot , and he was
thereby induced to go out of his my In
order to express sympathy for ono who
was defrauded of her conjugal rights by
a Teutonic ilval.
Thomas "NVickors , a tradesman estab
lished hove , has just astonished the
medical world , says an Eastbourne cable
to the l\'o\v York Morning Journal
Some time ago ho made a curious at
tempt ut suicide by driving four long
nails into his hoiul with a h-.tiumcr.
They penetrated into Ills hralnlo tha
extent of throe Inchts , nnd wore with
drawn with great ditlloulty.
To the amazement ot the doctors :
Wickers has completely recovered from
hlHsolMnfiletedInjuries and Is able to
attend to hlsbuslno-Has he used.
The doctors proiiouneo Ills cuso ns

One of the biggest women on record
has died in ParU , SJ.VB a Paris dispatch
to the London Daily Telegraph. She

she dd not pay /her oxponsog
owing to the cost entailed by her transit
to and from the cnlo conc\rt , HO VU'toIrd
retired from imbllollfoan-3 lived quietly
with her parents. Lately Vho Irul un at-

the day in the suburban locality wherein
she resided , and grc atlntorest'\\aH \ \ man *
llested by the neighbors \vatglilng \ the
lugubrious preparations for Ui\b burial of
the poor ' 'Phfiioiiionon ' , " vhoso remains
wore carried to the henjw. and niter-
ward lo the grave , on the shoulders ol
ten ol the most robust monln the employ
of the Company of Metropolitan Under-
Ulcers. j
Thirty thousand Inhabitants of Jlad *
ltd , mostly vomui , assembled roccntly
outslilo tlio great prison v.ills opposite
the scalTold upoii which a woman wis to
bo executed. According to Spanish cus
tom , this wns done by strangulation ,
fiiysa Madrid dispatch , to the London
Standard , The criminal sits ona wooden
bench bcloro a post , against which the
neck Is pressed and broken by an Iron
collar. This execution excited tre
mendous Interest In all clnisas of society
ana particularly among the lower or *
dors , Many iverodlssatislled with the
foiitcnco , bocnuso It was bollovcct that
Ihis servant girl had not boon
nlono in the murder of her nged
mistress , She confessed her share in
Iho crime , but accused another woman ,
who was sentenced to penal servitude ,
vitli being the principal actor in the
ragcdy. The Madrid papers on this
> ccaslon gho vivid discrlptions of the
lorrors of the present system by which
i convict is shut up for thirty hourswith
'riars ' and priests saying masses and
irajors , and keeping the wretched
Timlnalln the awful presence of his or
icr approaching late. Tn this case the
voinan had lobe carried to the sc.ilTok' .

The city ol Kostroma has n sensation
) f its owa in the shape of a cruel father ,
3gor AlexicIT Smirnolt by name and a
drosky driver by profcEsion , says the
ow York Sun. The son of SiiiirnolT , n.
ioy of ten years , failed to pass the ox-
uninatioa athisBohool. Being afraid
o come homo with the rcnort of his ill
success , ho concealed himself for two
days , llut his father found him and
chained him to the wall ota dark , moiit ,
lirtv room , which was full ot vermin.
! ii the corner of the room there waa a
air of rotten straw. Ho VMS kept in that
condition for fully six days , until his
nolhor could 110 longer cmluro the sight
of his suiToring , and took courage lo re-
> ort Iho case lo the police authorities.
L'ho boy was liberated nnd taken to the
lospitatand his father was arrested.
Oti further examination the room in
vhlch the poor boy wsis chimed was
ound to bo a regular chamber ot hor-
ors.rl'hore woto rings fastened to the
ceiling and In the floor , by which Smlr-
loll would hang up his children by their
lands and foot , or stretch them In a
nunner that they could not struggle or
irolect themselves , when bo inllictcd
chastisement on them with a knout.
Sympathetic spectators gathered the
oilier afternoon around a young man
vho fell down in front of the LOUM-O in
what appeared to be an epileptic seiz
ure , sajs a Paris dispatch to the Lon
don Daily Telegraph. One of the by
standers stepped forward and proposed
to carry the invalid to a chemist's '
shop not far off and another otl'ered to
vsslst. The ono who spoke first took up
; ho epileptic's hat' , and throwing slx-
icnce into it , said to the crowd : ' 'I tun
L poor man myself , but If each one of
, 'oudidas I do this unfortunate crcaturo
would have something to "help'"relievo
his sutforings. " Impelled by this gen
erous example , ' , the crowd .showered
coppers and. ' small silver. , into
the hat -until - BomotMng-jhiraver J.O ,
shillings was collected. Great , ,
was their astonishment when
-wo constables walked up nnd seized
both the honoAolont originator of the
vims collection and thd epileptic suf-
'eror. Tha latter , us soon as he opened
iis eyes and saw the policeman , forgot
that ho was an invalid and tittemptedlo
iscape , They wore both taken to the
ocli-up , and were idontified.os two well
mown lazy mendicants , named Cnrnot
and Dcsmarets. They had enacted the
same dodge successfully in tlio Ihio
Snlnt Honoro during the forenoon , the
epileptic and Ms colleague on that oc
casion lleeclng the charitable to the extent -
tent of 8 shillings. The chemist's assist
ant , who relieved tlio pretended sutVoror
in the Rue Saint rionoro , happened to
linsS tlio Louvre while his second por-
'onnanco vns going on , Susecting ] a
fraud , ho told the police. JIoiico their
arrest.
The hoi ilno of the hour just now in
Lisbon is a Gorman girl , Fraulohi
Johanna Wacstriek. Fimilein IVIacstrlclc
was born roar Uorlin , but wont with hoi-
parents as a child to Portugal , says the
London Globo. "When she was seven
teen an iinprossario , struck with her
size and beauty , offered to train her as a
fcnialo bull-figller. | The agent sent his
pupil , who is not yet twenty , to compote
at the show of female beauty whleh took
place this spring tit Lisbon , where she
carried oil the llrst prUo. The adver
tisement prou-d an excellent ono , for
ever since the iinprossario has boon
bombarded with letters from persons of
all classes , wishing to know , when the
beautiful "Torora''iH ' to make her debut.
She lias not yet appeared In au arena ,
but lait week she came out in a trial
fight at Oporto. A huge crowd collect
ed topco tno unusual sight. The young
lady quickly laid two bulls In tlio sand ,
and rode oil followed by a band of musiu
amid thunders of nnpluuso. Crowds of
people collected bcloro the windows of
the hotel at which the , "toreiu" was

obliged tc appear on the balcony in re-
to their calls for her ,
