Who Shall ( iuiml the Orphan ?
An application wns made in the district
court yesterday to have Andrew Alexander
disposed from his position as guardian over
the llttlo girl , Ilosa Iloldan. Alexander , who
h In no way related to the girl , was appointed
guardian about two weeks aeo , on the appli
cation of an uncle of the girl. She was at
the tlmo living with un aunt , Mrs. W. M.
Gimlciior , and thcro was quite n sensational
scene In thn attempt of the newly appointed
guardian to secure custody of his ward. Ho
found her at last nt a dnnco in Omaha , and
by aid of the oniccrs took her into his
charge.
The application yesterday was accompanied
by n number of aflldavlts showing that the
girl's mother died about eight years ago at
Mrs. Gardener's homo and that her last wish
was that Mrs. Gardener , her sister , should
look lifter the child. She promised to do so ,
nnd for tlieso years had done her best to pro
vide a homo and proper euro for the child.
She had been sent to school regularly and
there was no reason why this relationship
should not continue between her and her
auuU It is claimed , tLut Alexander was tiot
related and that he had no means with which
to ! properly provide for the child , as ho was
hardly able to provide for his own family.
The girt has no estate and , no means of her
own.
own.Mr. . Alexander seems for some reason to
desire to hold the guardianship of the penni
less girl. Ho filed , by his attornovs , several
motions to defeat the application for his re
moval , Ho claims that the aunt Is not a
proper person to have the custody of the
child , that bho keeps a boarding house which
1I 1 frequented by persons with whom it Is not
1t desirable I that the girl should come In con
tact , and that by remaining with this aunt
the girl's morality would ho jeopardised. Ho
wants those who have signed aflldavlts in
. favor of the aunt to bo called into court nnd
subjected to n cross-examination.

troversy , _

ability of n com promise with the creditors
nnd a settlement of some sort by which the

A Totili Young Man.
Anthony Southwell Is n young man of nine
teen years' experience in this world. The
greater part of the tlmo h o has been in the
woild he hns devoted to the acquirements of
bad nnd vicious habits , until at the present *
time his neighbors consider him a profes
sional in pure cussedness. Ho lives with his
relatives near the residence of ox-Chief of
Police Tom Sltinner , and Mr. Skinner and
nil the members of his family wish ho lived
somewhere else. Sklnuer devoted the fore
noon yesterday In filing informations charg
ing the VOUUR man with various offenses , not
the least of which was n brutal ussault upon
Mrs. Skinner. Several days ago Southwell
got Into the Skinner residence nnd when ho
left n valuable gold ling could not bo found.
Mrs. Skinner felt confident the fellow had
stolen It , nnd when. ho returned to
the place again on Saturday she ac
cused him of the theft. Ho denied
it and told her she would probably Jlnd the
ring somowhcio about the house and volun
teered his services to help search for it. Be
lieving that ho meant to drop it and then Jlnd
it .sho lollouod him closely and watched him.
While standing beside him in the sitting
room the fellow suddenly turned and struck
her a violent blow ou the sldo of the head.
Snc wns knocked senseless and is still suffer
ing from the Injury.
After the assault Southwell loft the city
nnd took rolugo in the country near Crescent
City nnd officers were sent out there yester
day to bring him In. Ho bears n very bad
reputation , but tins singularly escaped pun-
ibhmcnt for nenily all of his offences. A *
year or so tigu ho was charged with mutilat
ing u valuable team of horses belonging to a
fanner by cutting off their tails , but ho was
not piosccuted. Helms also been charged
wltn thefts of largo and small amounts , but
has always succeesdd in covering his trneks
so skillfully that ho has evaded punishment.

AN AljUMJ.VU.U HAND.
An Artlflolnl Member \vlth AVIileh u
Man Can Do Kvcr.v Kind of Labor.
Some months ngo Wilhird A. Lucas ,
son of Mr. Samuel Lucas , the wool man
ufacturer of Poquetamiek , Conn. , had
his right hand severed in hh father's
mill , and since Mr. Lucas , sr. , who has
Inventive genius , has u cd ovary effort
to replace the missing member with as
useful n substitute as posslblo.
After visiting or writing to
the most prominent makers of
artificial limbs in America , lie learned
that it wns in vain to search , cither In
this country or Europe , for an nrtillelul
hand that could bo upctl in doing work.
Thereupon Mr. Lucas determined to
muKO n hand himself ; but ho tolled per
sistently dny and night for four months
before hu was successful. Ho has pro
duced an aluminum luuid that Is very
inuoh like an old-timo steel gauntlet ,
and that is almost us hntidy as is u
natural hand. The lingers are all per
fect in sliapo and appearance , and the
joints bond llko those of humtui lingers.
It is smaller than the natural hand ,
but with it 11 man can do every kind of
worlf.
Mr. Wlllnrd Lucas has worn ono of
the artificial hnnds several weeks nnd
with it can grasp and hmulily use all
kinds of farm tools , pick up things from
the ground , drive , handloagun infnct ;
use his metal hand skilfully and quickly
at any \\ov\i. \ Like the natural hand , the
artificial one consists of a palm that | s
provided with a fastening by which it is
attached to the corlc or wooden stump
that all ono-Jiandcd inon wear In place
of the missing member , and of fingers
and a thumb , the joints of which are
worked by a ralohot , so that they may
bo bent forward nt any angle nnil hold
thero. The hand may bo either tightly
closed or only partly shut , and ( gily ono
linger or all the lingers may ho
closed at once and instantly by striking
them against the body or other object.
To release the lingers it is neccssarv
onlv to touch a small spring on the back
of the hand. The invention is a nearly
perfect substitute for a natural hand and
the only thing of the kind in the World.
\Villard Lucas avern that ho would not
part with the device for a fortune If it
were not possible to reproduce it. By
means of an ingenious contrivance the
artificial hand may bo moved sideways
at the place whore it is attached to the
arm , exactly as the natural hand is
moved. '

"It , has alwaysPccmcd to mo quito im
possible to attain higll speed on the bulk
of American railways , on account of their
being built in such sju unstable manner ,
both as to track and rolling stock.
The ingenuity used to over-
comet these irregularities by the
application of powerful springs , lovers ,
couplings , rail fastenings , etc. , has had
a tendency to so far take the motion of
the rolling stock as to bring the incon
venience down to a minimum. But with
all thcso improvements thuro is still un
necessary motion. Great speed so af
fects ns to increase thcso vibrations ,
causing the rolling stock and track
greater duty to perform , increased
wear and practically knocking
both to pieces. The time is far distant
when the general practice of running
trains at high speed m this country will
coino at hand. Under very favorable
circuinstanros and conditions , such as
liberal patronage , which will pay for the
increased wear and tear , it will bo possi
ble and profitable to run trains at high
speed , say fifty to sixty miles per hour.
A rail has two functions to perform :
(1) ( ) As a beam to resist bonding from
moving loads ; and (2) ( ) to resist the wear
ing away of the surface in contact with
the rolling block. The first condition
governs the depth of the rail and dispo
sition of metal in flanges. The second ,
that of the shnpo and \vldth of the head.
As to the section of rail , or the salient
points , such as the rndius of
the top corner , vertical sides , etc. ,
I would refer to the final report of com
mittee on same , transactions American
Society of Civil Engineers , October ,
188 ! ) . It is my opinion that the heaviest
rails now in use , say from 80 to 100
pounds , will not give the satisfaction
expected , as that of a rail of lighter sec
tion will , say from 70 to 75 pounds , for
the heaviest truffle.
Gninbctrn's Father.
The death has been announced of the
father of Leon Gambotta , at the ago of
olghty-threo years , at his homo near
Nice. For bomo time ho had been suf
fering from cancer la the stomach , and
the severe attack ho had recently In Ca-
hors almost carried him away. IIo i-c-
covered sufllcontly , however , to journey
to Nice about a month ago and resumed
the humble occupation which ho has
carried on binco hla son's , death that
of rearing oranges and lemons and dis-
posingof tlioin , hays the Chicago Herald.
It is not generally known that the
elder Gambotta received nothing under
his son's will of the largo bums of nvonoy
the French patriot was reported to have
loft. JIoluul nothing except the inter
est upon his savings as a tronoral dealer
in Cahors and what ho earned ns an
onuigo grower. He ) lived very humbly
with an old servant uiul ho oven made
the boxes in which tlio results of his
labors were dispatched and wheeled
them himself to the station upon n
hand-cart. An Interesting question
now arises } with regard to
the remains ' of Leon Gam-
botta. The family tomb , situated nt the
cemotnry upon the Chatteau hill , IB now
full , as it contains not , only the body of
the patriot , but alBO those of liin mother
and aunt. For a long' time pressure has
been brought to bcar"upon the old man
to induce him to c6nsont to the roinovar
of his son's remains 'to Paris , nnd it ii
said on good authority , that ho did con
sent to this proposal before his death ,
It Is , therefore , probable that tills Htoj
will be taken now when the grave is
opened , nnd that the father's remains
will bo interred in their placo.

"Australia Is n. inoro progressive conn-
ry than the United States and If wo

umt follow In the footsteps of that un
ion , " said Henry 0. Dnno of Hoston nt
ho Tromont house in Chicago the other
vonlng. Mr. Dane is returning homo

hrco years nnd eight months , pays the
'hleiigo Tribune. Ho boliovcs it is n
'marvelous country , " nnd says the
United States had bettor hasten or Gcr-
imny will sccuro ils enormous trade.
" 1 imagined it would take mo but
light mouths from the tlmo I loft San
'Vanclsco to sue everything there , " said
Mr. UAIIO , "but instead , it took mo three
( ears longer. Australia is s largo as
e United States , you know.
"Somo of the Australian natives are
most romarknbio people. There is a
tribe known as the Ulncktrnilora. It Is
rightly named , too , for nothing over
6ts away from it. No prisoner over
capes when the Blacktrallors nro
ilaccd on his track. When I way in
Albany a young Englishwoman and a
jhildvorolostiti that wild region. They
ivoro absent two days when the Black-
rallors at Perth , 600 miles away , were
icnt for. The 'trailers' ' arrived and were
old where the missing ones were last
icon. There were live of tlioin. Thoyj
: narchud around in a circle until they
'ouml the trail and then started. They
iVtsnt up hill and down hill , across plain
uidovor stream , ctos.slng the trail time
indng ain , but never once lost it. They
; ould even toll where the missing ones
md sat down to rest , where , to my eye ,
hero wns no indication of anything of
, ho kind. It was learned afterward that
Lhey were correct in every detail. For
three days the Blncktnulcrs continued
the search and finally came to an 1m-
nonse hill of granite.
* "Hero tho&o with the searchers
thought tht natives would bo thrown olT

ones there as readily as through a for

Bald ! 'Thoro Is wlioro the liltlo ono laid

They pointed out a plneo on a largo ,

magnifying glass was unable to detect
my thing unusual. But It was true , us that

[ iad slept one afternoon. Finally tlio
child was found. The little ono was un-
'onboious ' , but was restored to its mother.
The child subsequently recovered. It
was ton hours later before the trailers
iiiught up to the young woman , and
when found she was insano. She at
tempted to escape from her pufbtiors ,
' ) Ut was captured after a short chase.
ho did not recover her reason for live
months.
"The Blacktrailors have peculiar
limbs. They have no calves or sinews
to their legs. They can rim like a deer ,
however , and can stand inoro fatigue
than a horso.
"Americans do not ronli/o that there
are as Imndbomo buildings in Melbourne
as there are in Chicago. But there arc.
Melbourne is called the Chicago of Aus-
tntlia , because it 1ms grown as rapidly
or more so than the Garden City. Since
18-31 tlio place hns grown from a small
town to a city of150,000. .
"I tun an American , but I must admit
that Australia is ahead of us in financial
matters. The railroad beds are ahead
of anything in this country. E\orythlng
there is done on the most extravagant
and elaborate plan. The Australians
I mean by that the pcoplo of English and
American extraction who grow up in
the country will soon comprise a now
and unique nationality. They are sepa
rate from tbo world , you might say , and
are compelled to look to their own coun
try for most of their resources. The na
tional feeling is intense. An Australian
thinks there is nobody like an Aus
tralian.
"Thcro nro 00,000,000 sheep in the
country and the finest grade of wool
comes from there. Merino wool is pro
duced that is only equaled in the coun
tries of Asia Minor. The reason is the
sheep can cat green grass 3Co days in the
year.
"But I must say it is a shame , a cry
ing Bhtiino , that the greatest country on
this carlh the United States does not
treat its consul to Australia with
with moro consideration. IIo could do
this country hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth moro good if ho onlv had
the opportunity , but as it is ,
Germany with its high salaried
representative is carrying1 off all
the plums for his nation. Consul Grlflin
at Sydney reoolvos a salary of but $2,000
a year. lie Is unable to accept courto-
Hies that am extended to him , for he
could not alTord to return them.
"Tho United States should watch Aus
tralia and see that her representative is
well taken care of. Mr. Blnine , with his
reciprocity scheme , should not forgot to
look in Iho direction of Australia. "

A Charming Momory.
No improvement have boon so marked ,

which have been introduced in transcon

Shoeing IlorM's.
The United States government has is
sued the following order relative to the
Shoeing of cavalry horses : In preparing
the horse's foot for the shoo do not touch
with the knlfo the frog , solo or bars. In
removing surplus growth of that part
which is the seat of the uhoo use the mil
ting pincers and rasp , and not the knife.
The shooing knlfo may bo used , if nec
essary , in using the top clip. Opening
the heels or milking a cut
in the anflo of the ball
at the heel must not bo allowed. The
rasp may bo used upon tlio part of the
foot when necessary , and the sumo ap
plies to the pogs. No culling with the
knife is permitted ; only the rasp is ncc-
ossary. Flat footed horses may bo treat
ed as the necessity of each cnso may ro-
qulro. In forging the shoo to lit the
foot bo careful that the shoo IB fitted to
and follows the circumference o
tlio foot clear round to the heels
the heels of the shoo should not bo ox1
tended back straight and outside of the
walls at thu heels of the horse's foot , as
is fronuontly dono. Care must ho used
that the Mum is not fitted too small , the
outside surface of tlio wall being then
rasped down to maho thu foot short to
suit tlio shoo , as often happens. The
hot shoo must not bo applied to tlio
horse's foot under any circumstances ,
Make the unpur or foot surface of the
shoo perfectly lint , BO as to give a level
bearing. A shoo with a eoncavo ground
surfiico should bo used.

Mr. .Tares , who has charge of the
forthcoming autobiography of General
11. F. Uutler , thus explains why the
general declines to appear on lecture
platforms , bays tlio Chicago Herald.
"Without doubt many people will con
sider this on ueotmnfof his advanced
ago , but I would most respectfully make
you aware of the fact that General Dul
ler has not bcon in bettor condition for
the last twenty years than ho is today ,
and ho is devoting a largo part
of his time now to llio preparation
of his forthcoming work , which , with
his extended law practice , occupies his
time daily from I ) o'clock in the morning
till nearly midnight. IIo is being con
tinually besieged and Invited to make
addresses for this , that and the other oc
casion , and in order not to olYoml and
slight any one , ho is making n strict
rule lomnko a point blank refusal to all
such requests. IIo only complied with
the request of the Wendell Phillips i
association because ho is its preslI I
dent. The statement that ho sunk '
wearily into his ehiiir at the close of an
address , and inordc"1 " to acknowledge the
applaiibo had to bo tibsislod to his foot
by a gentleman near by , may bo true ,
but it may bo agreeable for the readers
of your piper to know that this appar
ent , fatigue was caused entirely from a
lame log with which the general has
been troubled for some time. It must
bo further taken into consideration that
the general is a heavy man and slood for
an hour and a half , and would naturally
feel fatigued. "

A very amusing story is told about
Chancellor Bismarck and Enrl Russell.
The incident occurred at Versailles dur
ing the war of 1870 , says the Chicago
Ilorald. Lord Russell was to have an
audience , and ho was wailing for Count
von Arnim to leave Bismarck's btudy.
Presently Von Arnim came out , fanning
himself furiously with his handkerchief.
"I really cannot understand , " ho said ,
"how Bismarck can live in such an at-
mo = phcio ; ho is continually smoking ,
and the strongest cigars , too. Iliad to
ask him to onen the window , for I could
not stand It. "
Then ho took leave of Lord Russell
nnd went his wny. As soon us Lord
Uus--ell entered the room Bismarck said
to him :
"What strange tastes Borne people
have ! There is Von Arnim , now , who
has just gone out of the room ; it is a fad
of his to scent himself up to an unbear
able degree , and today tlio perfume was
so intense that L had to open the win
dow. "
