Ills Jtcmams Taken B ct for J ntci went. to Kcntncij Mrs. C. S. Richardson, widow of T. J. Richardson, formerly connected with the laud office in this city, p.ised through Wichita last uiuht on her way to her old Lome in Kentucky, uccompnnyiu; the re mains of her beloved sou Keunetb, who died Monday at Stillwater, Ok. Mrs. Richardson has lately been over whelmed with misfortune. About a year and a half ao her husband died, leaving her to battle alone for the support of her self and children. And her natural talent and native pluck was enabling her to suc ceed, when a fell disease attacked her favorite son, Kenneth Young, a bright manly latl of fourteen years, the priue of a mother's heart. Keuuetn was one of those boys who won frieuds among all classes by his honest, courageous way 01 demeaning himself. His frank, fearless character was his cuarin. But the record of his young life is a sealed book. He has retreated from the din of life and the gates have closed behind him forever. "Sol long since Kenneth came into poses sion of a handsome legacy in the way of a landed estate only a few miles from the beautiful city of Louisville, bequeathed him by his grandfather, and he was look ing forward to the time when he could occupy the estate with his mother and en joy life to the fullest extent. But man proposes and God dispose?. Mrs. Hichaidson has many warm friends in this city who will deeply sympathize with her iu her bereavement and over shadowing calamity. AMUSEMENTS. A TALENTED ACTHESS. Marie Heath, the star of "A Turkish Bath" comedy, is au intelligent little stu dent of human natuie. Her replanta tion of a 13 year-old miss is so realistic that women and children will not believe that it is a woman. In San Francisco, when the comp my was playing thete last season, at the matinees from seventy-five to one hundred women and children would gather at the stage door after the ptrform auce to see the young 13-year-old uirl, who proved to be a woman over twice that age. Seeing her on the stage one can hardly realize that, they are seeing art, pure and simple. Winsome Marie Heath has a bright fu ture upon the stage. She is tiO'Sessed of good common sense that which is lacking iu many of the ambitious stars. She is as much pleased when a member receives ap plause as though it-was for hei self. At the Crawford Grand tonight, Matiuee to morrow afternoon and tomorrow night "A Quick Match," a comedy brim fill of wit, humor and pathos, sparkling with blight dialogue and tuneful music will be presented at tlie opera house. "A Quick Match" is not a new play, but a favorite ot several seasons standing, and this year additions have been mads iu the way of new and original specialties, catchy music and complicated situations, that makes it more satisfactory than ever. The play contains none of the hackneyed features of the average farce comedy, everything being new, bright and up to date. It will he here on Friday, Dec. 1.

Yesterday he was iu the city on business, the principal part of which was the pay ment of a mortgage, the dissipation ot a cloud that has been hanging oyer him for a twelve-month. It amounted to $1,240, nnd was wiped out by a single stroke ot a peu, a check was given for the amount, and a weight was lifted ftom his shoulders that made life seem more bemabla iu btnntly.

T was some time in 'SO that I went to '"Fris co," and had been among trie operators long enough to know them well, when a young greenhorn from the east was placed in charge fir t linn intrt h the Sierra Ne- vadas. I had struck manv an inex perienced telegrapher before, but Johnny Greene was what proved moro to his disadvantage a little bit fresh, and moreover entirely ignorant of the ways of the west. "Better keep an eye on that young man, Luke Davitt," said Will Kerner in an undertone to me when the fresh man went off duty the first evening. "He is full of the choker of eastern blulT, and it may cause an explosion if he get3 a western match." Johnny got through the next morn ing with no worse mishap than expos ing his inferior ability as an operator. In the afternoon he received a 'broken message" from a mountain station. The disjointed sentences and long stops roused his ire. He took the mountain man to le inexperienced what tele graph operators call "a plug" and, growing impatient, sent over the wire a string of expletive abuse. This was received very quietly, and Johnny, growing elated, gave a good deal more. Finally the mountain operator sent back a terse "Please sign." This the young man from the east did boldly, giving also the address of tho firm. More conversation followed. Meanwhile the freshman was wiring to a bigger audience than he knew all friends of the mountain operator. In about twenty stations up the line the lever was clicking, the clerks, attracted by the length and character of the mes sage, were transcribing for their own amusement. Johnny wired his name and address, and then grew sarcastic. The mount ain operator said little, but finally sent word he would be in San Francisco soon. It pleased the young man to change his tone at this. He replied facetious ly: "Come on! Whipped many a bet ter man before breakfast Thirsty for gore! Came out on the Pacific coast for the express purpose of clearing out a score of you old 'forty-niners.' " This happened one afternoon. The next, as the men were going off duty, 1 went down. I knew a little of what had passed, but was ignorant of the extent to which the greenhorn had compromised himself. Standing below, and questioning each clerk as he passed, was a thin, spare man on the wrong side of forty. He had the appearance of a typical Californian from one of the mining towns, wore a grizzled beard, a blue shirt, wide-awake, and had a couple of Colt's revolvers stuck in his belt He made straight for me. "How d'ye do, stranger? Your name Johnny Greene?" "Xo," said 1, "but he'll be down soon." Then something prompted me to question liira. He was very reticent, merely saying he had important busi ness with Greene and would wait for him. Failing to get at what I wanted to know by circuitous means, I said bluntly: "Are you Benjie Hitwell from ," naminc- the mountain sta tion where the freshman's abusive I message had gone the afternoon be- f fore. "Yes," was the reply; "I hail from that town. I am here to shoot Greene." It was only the ludicrous side of the affair that forced itself on me then. Suppressing my mirth as bestl could, I "I HAIL FROM THATTOWX. flew upstairs, the very spirit of nis chief in me. f&y2 -S u vrsp .

I never saw a man change counten ance: so quickly. Dismay was written all over him, and instead of rushing downstairs in the bold and warlike manner he affected, ho asked my ad vice. "Provide yourself with a good horse pistol, crawl downstairs, and get the drop on him," said I, readily, making another effort to restrain my mirth. He stepped back, and the color left his very lips as he confessed: "Luke, I never handled a weapon in all my life!" I was staggered. A vision of the per sonification of quiet determination "ig-aiting below flashed before me, and I demanded: "What in brings j'ou out here?" "I don't know," he said, in a stifled voice. "What do you suppose you are going to do?" "I don't know." he said again. "Un less you will intercede for me." "Intercede? With that man? You don't know what you askl He'll make you fight!" "Luke," he said, "they say your roice is smoother and your tongue more elo quent than any man's on the place. Go down and see what he wants." "Yon eclipsed my eloquence yester day afternoon," said I, sarcastically; bnt I went. Finding the fresh young man from the east wa3rayf riend, thestranger became more communicative. He said that never in all his life had he allowed such address without seeking satisfac tion. He simply wanted the fresh young man to appear and defend bim sslf, as he had sworn to -shoot him on sight Then he cut a piece from a great plug of tobacco and quietly put it in his mouth. His manner almost overawed me. It was so devoid of blus ter, so matter-of fact and withal so de termined. "You don't mean to say that you will bring your battery to bear on him?" 1 gasped. "I mean to shoot him!" he answered pleasantly, and went on, that inas much as the young man from the east had "whipped many a better man be fore breakfast," he saw no reason why he should hide or go out of the way of his evening's amusement The opera tors all along the line could swear to the abuse he had received, and he gave the fresh" young man from the east just five minutes to come out and show him self. Otherwise he should find it neces sary to invade the office and blow the roof off young Greene's head. I have seen angry men before, but the saint; defend me from such another sight. The old mountain man's face was the color of putty, but his eyes were blazing, and every fiber of his be ing shook with suppressed wrath. I was mute, and could do nothing save carry my paralyzing intelligence upstairs. "He is a regular fire eater, Johnny! Gives you just five minutes to ox ms k:tee3 begged xztd pkatkd. get down! His own life is of no conse- i quence, but he must ana win iaKe yours! L pon hearing wnicn tue young man had a total collapse, and on his knees begged and prayed me to pacify the man waiting for him below. My mind was made up that nothing short of blood would wind up the affair, f and I had no desire to see again, much less try to conciliate the wrath of the old mountaineer. But my frequent passing to and fro, and the excitement of the fresh young man. had attracted the attention of the night manager, who had just come on duty. He volunteered to go down and have a look at the fire eater, and reported: "He is the toughest of his gang. I know him by sight Dead shot! Grown up with he country. Ita customs are his laws. He will have ryour blood, Greene, if he has to travel a thousand miles to get it: And there is no jury out here that will convict him if he kills you." I don't, know which was more terri ble to witness, the deep wrath of the mountaineer or the cowering fright of the young man. He clang to us and implored us, to go down and get terras I ' wl aJmm IT TiWM 1 1 i record ; advances no k the Standard Writ- f of capitulation; and as a last argument bade us tell the old fellow that he had a mother and sister. We thought him of no use to either relative, but his craven cowardice awakened a sort of contemptuous pity that urged us on our errand of mercy. We collected a few of the night clerks, explained matters to them, and went down to the old man in a body. "Now," said the night manager, put ting on a bold front, "I know yoti, and I know what you are here for. But I am boss, and will not allow a fight in the opera ting-rdkm." "All right," Baid the man, quietly; "I'll wait here for him, if he stays above till he's ninety." "Have a go at him, Luke," whispered Will Kerner, aside. "If you can't get Greene off none of us can." Above, the fresh young man Trom the east was trying to give flavor to his case by rolling on the floor in misery and uttering frequent groans indicative of his last hour. The mountain man listened and his eyes blazed with scorn when I went up to him. "Come, now, stranger," I began, faintly enough, "we know the young man gave you a great deal of talk, but it was only iu fun, and he has not lived as long as you. Besides, he sinned in complete ignorance of the customs of this country, and has never handled a firearm in his life. If you kill him it will be nothing short of willful murder. Then, too, he has a mother and sister in the east It is not such as you who war against women. Let it pass. He regrets his part in the affair." I said much more, and then several of the night operators joined me and put in a plea. Well, sir, we did all but go on our knees for that green horn's life. In the meantime the tumblings and despairing groans from above made us blush to voice his cause. At last the man from the mountains turned round and spat on the floor. That was our answer. It said as plain as words could: "That for such! He is not worth killing." He made over to us the young man's life on certain conditions. The next morning the terms of the treaty were complied with. At nine o'clock Greene sent over by wire the most ab ject apology man ever framed, and every station on the line was rung up to get the message. I am east again. It seems to me that, a coward's short memory mnst bo a peculiar dispensation of providence to help him tread the earth again with some degree of confidence. For I saw young Greene in Boston, and while the sight of him recalled to me the awful threat of that old mountain man, he was talking to a friend on Washington street thus: "The west? Ah, yes! I did try it for awhile. Couldn't r.tand it though, you know. The earthquakes bothered me too much." Oddltla of Taste, t Among the curiosities of taste, the Parisian passion for self-exhibition at the morgue must hold a conspicuous place. The principal keeper at the morgue is said to have had many ap plications from persons eager to figure as corpses on the slabs of the dead- house. They were deterred by the official announcement that the temper ature of the bodies was kept some de grees below zero. If this discomfort could have been endured for twelve hours, and if the authorities could have been persuaded to lend them selves to such a fraud, what material. for a coup in journalism would have been afforded to some enterprising genius!

Indeed, the guides instruct those who stroll innocently arm in arm about St Peter's, looking at the pictures, frescoes and altars of that wonderful cathedral, that thej are committing an impropriety. Ital ians are very particular about the etiquette of kissing the hand. A man kisses the right hand of his mother, aunt or elderly friend, and the left hand of his sweetheart It is not per mitted him to kiss the palm of the hand except in great and affectionate intimacy; it Ls regarded as a token that he is very much in love. Upon arriv ing at a formal dinner n gentleman takes the hand of his hostess and bends low over it as if about to kiss it, but does not do so. After-dinner etiquette demands that he take her hand again and kiss it Emperor Ttllllam's Hard TTad In conferring upon Mgr. delia Volpc, the grand master of the household of the pope, the grand crrs of the Order of the Crown, Emperor William has shown a remarkable spirit of forgive ncss.
