from the llrooktrn Convention,
Srlem-o In Ilrooklyn is not confined entirely to
abstruse subjects. All the 'lies, 'ologles, and
'llifflunu rh0 way yesterday to Ctoton bugs,
alias cockroaches. Everybody knows what a
r,vkroach Is, although they may be bothered
ibout the polyrnetrlo modtflcattona of propionic
aldehyde, pnraproplonlc aldehyde, or the beltA
M,ir of sMhylldens propionic acid. Mr. t. O.
Howard, a member of the Hayseed department
In Washington, read a paper on "Migration of
Cockroaches," The professor It n tall man,
with a benevolent countenance and a lull
beard. Tho fulness of Ms whiskers are
apparent, hut he does not look In the
lr.tt like a man who U In the habit of seeing
prw rsslons of Insects. This extraordinary sight
was witnessed by htm, he solemnly avers, on the
streets of Washington one dark day last sum
iner Thousands of female roaches paraded tip
Pennsylvania avenue, carrying sacks of eggs on
their backs. I'rof. Howard's Investigation of
the circumstances led htm tndraw theconclu
nn that the observation Indicated a develop
ment of the true migratory Instinct, and that
while the old resldencoot thelnsectsmlghthave
supported Ita occupants, provisions forthesus
tenance of future generations necessitated a
Journey In search of new quarters. The migra
tion of this army upon a dark day suggested
that It Is by similar removals atter nightfall
that new houses become Infested with roaches.
Pr. Erwln . Pmltli. of the same department
las Trof. Howard, has dlscnv ered a fungus which
destroys Bouthern watermelons. Hetween the
ravages of the fungus and the peculations of
darkles, Georgia farmers have had a had era,
port. Dr. Smith developed a germ In a glass
Vessel. Hundreds of them could bo accommo
dated on the point of a needle. The fungi stops
up the apertures In the watermelon and the
fruit withers an ay. Dr. Smith planted 1,800
hlllsof watermelons In a region affected by the
disease. In four weeks all he had to show for
Ms labors were tho 1.500 hilts and not ono
melon. The raisers of melons perpetuate the
disease by cutting watermelon hay about the
field and using It for compost In the spring.
The department of zoology has some queer
"injects for discussion. Men who can solemnly
listen to the story of a parade of roaches led by
a female Coxeylte, who failed to Ketanofllce
md left In disgust, are restless under a lecturer
whotonflnrs his remarks to the " Itelatlon nf
Ago of Type to Variability." The point I,. II.
Jlalley tried to make required delicate handling.
The speaker took twenty minute in hint thai
the. older a woman became the morn likely shn
was to exerciso her exclusive iierogntlve to
change her mind without explanation, when
ever she saw nt, while the man who was ob
stinate developed greater mulish propensities
tho more he considered the llberalncss of his
Views on all subjects.
, H. 11. Husley, the botanist, read a pper on
" Umnopoppus, a New Genus of .Mutlslnccou
Composite1, and Flucklgrria, a New (icnus of
,!esnerica" Ho was applauded at the conclu
sion of his address, perhaps for being able to
faronounce eight-syllabled words without hesi
tation. I'p among the anthropologists Stansbury Ha
Itar read a paper entitled. "Notes on the Cus
toms and Traditions of tho Mlcmars." The
Micmacs once, lived In this Slate, and when thoy
had lodge nights they did not see processions of
rix-k roaches, but had a rattlesnake dance.
Times may change, but many a Mlcmno of to
day has seen not only one, but two or three
cages full of rattlesnakes dance. Mr. Hagar de
scribed the dance and Ita three convolutions,
which he believed represented the three turns
the rattlesnake makes In shedding Ita skin. The
dance was one of the rites of Initiation to a
tecret society among the Algonquin.
In the department of economic science and
itatistlcs, Jamea V. It. Swann- solved a question.
Which never worried the Prince of Wales, but
has proved of great interest to hens. The sub
ject of hla paper was, "The Urltlsh Land Dim
r."!trvpP.ultr' Bn1 Eggs," He asserted that the
Urltlsh lion waa a victim of too much poultry
and eggs. He offered no remedy for the deplor
feblo situation.

Kdward Priestley, a manufacturer of sta
tionery In this city, committed suicide In hi
office at OS lleekman street yesterday afternoon
by shooting himself In the head, Mr. Priestley
hail been In the stationery and paper manufac
turing business for a number of years,
Before he came trt this city he waa In business
with his father, Alexander Priestley, a well
known paper manufacturer of Philadelphia.
For some time he was the manager for the
Aikerman Envelojie Company of this city. After
leaving the Arm he carried on a business nf his
own at flu lleekman street.
Ijiler he became connected with the firm of
William II. Want A Co., who occupied part of
the building at 08. A few months ago George
II. Hunt A Co. bought out the business of
the Ackerman Company and of William If.
Ward A Co. Two weeka ago Mr. Priestley lost
his place, but retained his desk In the ofUce at
08 lleekman street. He lived with hlswlf, and
brother-in-law. It. Ward Carroll of William H.
Ward A Co.. tin Davis atenue. West New
Brighton. ....,
VeMerday morning he went to the office as
usual. He seemed to be In the best of spirits,
and before going up stairs stopped to talk with
some of the emplo) ees In the building. Shortly
liefore i'i o'clock Frank Hoargan. a new ofilte
boy employed by llcorgo It. Hunt A Co.. went
uptntiike a look through the building. When
he reached the room on the top floor occupied
by Mr. Priestley he noticed that the window
shades had been pulled down.
Opening the door he saw the body nf a man
Ivlng ou the floor near the window, The man's
Hat lay a few feet awav. When he returned to
the lower floor he reported that a drunken man
waa asleep In one of the rooms on the upper
floor. When Mr. Ernst, manager for Hurd A
Co.. returned and heard about the supposed
drunken man. he went up stairs to Investigate.
He found that the body on the floor waa that of
There wan a bullet wound lu the back of his
head. Near the txsly lay a 14-callbre revolver,
with one chamlier empty. Forty dollars In
money slid a gold watch were found on the
Ualy, but there was nothing explaining why
the man had committed suicide. Coroner 8hea
examined the bod v and gave a permit for Its
removal late yesterday afternoon.
IjiH night Mr Carroll said that he could
think of no reason why his brother-in-law
should have killed himself. He thought that
he might hae become despondent because ha
had lost his place, ,
" He seemed to be In very good spirits during
the morning." said Mr. Carroll, "when 1 left
West New llrighton. shortly after 8 o'clock, he
was etartlng for a walk with a pet dog of his.
He told me not to wait forhlm as be would come
to the office later."
Mr. Priestley was born In Philadelphia thirty
two years ago. He married a daughter of Capt.
Clay of Elk county. Pa.

by Mlaa Mamie Mott.
Miss Mamie Mott, a young elocutionist who
lives In the house of her brother-in-law. Dr.
Peter Hughes, at 273 Berry street, Williams
burgh, saw a tall and shabbily dressed German
loitering around the housolate onBnnday night.
Dr. Hughes and his family are In tho country,
and only Miss Mott and a servant girl were at
home. The servant hnd gone to bed when Mlsi
Mott saw the man.
He entered the area and tried the basement
door. Then he went away. Miss Mott was un
der tho Impression that the man wanted to see
Dr. Hughes, and she paid no further attention
to him. Shortly after midnight the man re
turned and sat on the stoop. Mlsa Mott watched
htm again. About 2 o'clock he again tried the
basement door. Then he looked through the
basement windows and went up the stoop. Ho
leaned over the stoop railing and tried to peer
Into the parlor.
Miss Mott got frightened and ran to a rear
window, and screamed: "Burglars!" "Police I"
Besides screaming, she threw crockery and
glassware on a tin-roof extension of the house of
F. A. Keeley. at 110 South First street, whoes
yard adjoins that of Dr. Hughes. William A.
l.andon, a nephew of Dr. Hughes, lives In
Keeley's bouse. He mid Mr. Keeley heard .Mlsa
Mott's screams, and asked from a window what
the trouble was. .She told them that a burglar
was trj lng to get Into the house.
Keeley and Landon dressed and ran around to
the Doctor's house. The neighborhood waa now
aroused and dozens of people wero looking out
of windows. Policeman HInch of the nedford
avenue station saw namsU crowd In frontnf Dr.
Hughes's house, and wont there. The man who
had caused the trouble was sitting on the stoop.
He was taken to the Bedford avenue police sta
tion. He said ho was Henry Muller, and that he
formerly lived with a grocer at Wythe avenue
and South Third street. He said he had gone
to Dr. Hughes's house to have a sore leg treated.
He was locked up for being drunk.
In the Lee avenue police court yesterday he
told Justice Neu that no was sick. He waa re
manded until to-morrow.
TIITIXG TO HAVE HIS IUtO.
It nit m Ilor, Justice TIbeHlared Ita Heath
Wfirrnnt, but Hhand IKfosee to Kill It.
William Shand. who lives In Seventeenth
street. Brooklyn, Is trying to save the life of hit
pet dog. although Justice Tlgbo has signed ita
death warrant. On June 1U the dog bit a boy
who waa walking near Mr. Shand'a residence,
and complaint was made to Justice Tlghe, who
ordered the owner of the dog to have It killed.
Shand refused to obey the order, and Justice
Tlgho was proceeding to punish him when he
appealud to the Supremo Court.
There Is an ordinance passed by the Brooklyn
Aldermen, which provides that If an owner
neglocta or refuses to kill a dog within forty
elgiit hours after ordered to do so, he shall for
feit a sum of $10, and for every forty-eight
hours thereafter $!i until the dog shall be killed.
Mr. Shand's counsel, Herman F. Koepke, de
clares that the Aldermen had no power to pass
this ordinance, and ho applied yesterday to Jus
tice flaynor.ln the Supreme Court, for a peremp
tory rlt of prohibition.
Lnwyer Donald F. Ayres opposed the applica
tion, and argued that the Justice had authority
to act.
"That Is true." said Justice Gaynor. "hut not
to act arbitrarily. He cannot take a dog and
kill it any more than a horse."
"But the dog waa a dangerous one," pleaded
"That Is a question of fact, and neither a
msglstratonor the highest court can decide tt
without a hearing," said the Justice, who re
served his decision.

WORSE'N JERSEYSKEETERS
MR. MTDOE, MADAME, AXD THE
MIDOETH COME TO TOWS.
TTIeked Little TourlaU from the North,
lavUtble, Almost, with Their Whole
NonU Beat oa lllllna Ilussaa Where
"" Most Desire Not to lie Hlttea,
Among the recent arrivals In the city are
Blmulium Nnclvnm Midge, Hsq., and family.
They are here on business rather than for pleas
ure, and, together with their big brothers, the
mosquitoes, aro making life very miserable for
resident of Ihe uptown dletrluts. Wheio the
midges tame from Is not clear. Perhaps Ills
from Maine, where they ate so common that
the country resldonta of that Statu go mottled
all summer; or may be from ihe Adirondack.
where they have a depressing effect upon the
value of real, estate. At present, honevtr, the
question where they came from lanbeleflto
the American Association for the Advancement
otSoleuce. Tho average cltlrcu would be glad
to know when they are Rolngnnay.
Considered sclentlllcally. th midge Is a small
specimen of the genus dlptera. tu which the
mosquito and fly also belong. Mr. Harris, the
bug expert, calls the luhlge Miniijiuni unrli'iini.
Other people call him worse haloes, than that.
Noteveutba mosquito Is so essential!) diaboli
cal as the midge. You can tee a mosquito, un
less it happons to be dark, and then (on can
hear 1dm. But themtdgels oul) vlslhletothe
trained eye, and he Isn't audlblo at all. Klther
he was burn dumb or he doesn't havn
time for music. But like tho Insect
sung by the Bowery poet, he gets
there Just the same, there is only one
way to tell when he haw got there, but nohndv
wants any more wn)s. The sensation produced
by a midge is peculiar. ou can tret iipnvrrv
fair Imitation of It by heating a very flue ueedlo
red hot and Inserting It a shurt distance into tbn
cuticle. It won't be quite up to thn perform
ance of the Insect himself, but It comes near It.
When you feel a sensation llkti this don't slap at
tho place. If you du.lt Is a good bet thatthu
microscopic torment will flnltrn lilimclf nut
and escape death, .lust put your linger firmly
on the spot where thu siusntlon la and pree.
That will Ax him.
People who are familiar with mldiies a fa
miliarity, by the way, whlih never breeds con
temptsay that these insects show u mint as
tonishing knowledge of the human anatomy.
They seem to know by Instinct Jusi what luris
of the human form divine are furthest nut of
reach, and thev illreit their inurse to tho.n
parts with great perKeverance. Theio Is a man
in Harlem who counted fort) -seven tnldge
mark on himself with the aid of a mir
ror. Twenty-nine were betwien the shoulder
blades, six wer on the back nf the upper
arm, and the others, made by Inexperi
enced midges, were nu thn face and
hands. This sufferer sas that Ihe mldgn will
crawl up a man's sleeve or down his m-ck w ltli
the greatest pattenre until he can locate his bltn
Just where tt will lie hardest to scratch. This
testimony is bucked up by Kntomolnglst Har
ris, who states that the midge hits an offensive
habit of crawling under the clothing As to his
method of procedure, the following testimony Is
that of a martyr to science, who on feeling a
midge on bis hand selred a magnifying glass
and watched developments:
"The Insect, upon alighting, wagged his head
in a threatening manner. Then he walked
slowly around, presumably looking for a nerve.
Having found tt he firmly braied his forelegs,
threw his hind legs up Into the nlr. and stood
upon his head. Evidently he was driving Into
my cuticle, lllswlnga moved rapldl),nnd his
hind legs kicked frantically In the manner of an
urchin who gets stuck head lint In a barrol, I
watched him with great Interest. It would
have been most Interesting to know how ho
would emerge, hut at that Instant he struck the
nerve that he waa prospecting for, and I swatted
him. It was more In sorrow than In anger that
I did It. but my scientific 7t-nl Isn't qulto up lo
ihe mark when It comes to having an Infinitesi
mal beast with a poisoned corkscrew attach
ment, heated red hot. go down Into tbo rocossea
of my personality and wallow there."
This Is the way most of the residents of the
Infested district feel. The dlfllculty Is that It
Is often hard to dislodge the Insecta from their
strategic positions, hxperirneed sufferers eay
that upon feeling a mldgn biting between the
shoulder blades thn proper courso Is to propel
jourself backward against tbo wall with great
vlnlonce and then rub ) onrsclf against the near
est corner. This Is calculated to discourage the
midge, and la all right as far aa tt goes, but the
itch remains after Ita author has passed away,
and besides being ungraceful, the process of
rubbing one's back against corners Is bad forthe
clothing. If lot alono the small red spot left by
the bite will soon stop Itching.
A peculiarity of these pests is that they suc
ceed In producing more sensation to the square
Indh than one would eupposo to exist. It doesn't
make any difference to tho midge where he
lights: he'll get some pang nut of that spot with
his corkscrew bill, amtwherevcr he settles, hith
erto unsuspected potentialities of agony Imme
diately mako themselves known. If a mldgn
lighted upon the middle of your thumbnail ho
would contrive to evolve a pain therefrom, and
if he couldn't do it any other way he'd crawl
under and die In thn attempt. An exasperating
feature nf the thing Is that no mark appear for
a tlmn where thn bite Is. There Is nn itch there
which could he adequately matched only by a
lump aa big aa a walnut. But nothing appenrs.
You've get to scratch In the dark, as It were,
guided nnly by vour own feeling. By and by,
when the pang decreases, there appears a small,
rose-pink blotch, neither ornamental nor useful.
It remains long after the sensation is gone,
a microscopic memorial mound to your departed
visitor.
IX DAXOElt Of A WATER FAMIXE.
Iirooklyn Hnffcrlaa; front thn KflTccta of the
hmall Italarull.
There Is danger of n water famine In Brook
lyn, Commissioner White of thn Department of
City Works intimates, and yesterday he issued
a warning to the public In lie aa careful aa possi
ble with the water until tho present emergency
is post. Brooklyn consumed 70,000,000 gallons
on Sunday, an amount very much In excess of
the possible dally supply under existing condi
tions. The reserve supply has been drawn upon
so much that there Is scarcely any water left In
the big storage reservoir at Hempstead. When
the reservoir Is full the depth of water nt thn
dam i 10 feet. Yesterday the reserve supply
there hail run down to S feet 1 Inch, and of this
there are not more than IS feet available. Mr.
White announced yeitcrday that unless relief
came In a heavy rainstorm the storage reservo
east of the Itldgewood reservoir will have beeu
exhausted.
"I understand," he contlnned Inan address
to the public, "that Boston and some other cities
are in a worse condition than Brooklyn owing to
the long drought nf the summer, but that does
not help us. It Is probable that by temiiorary
expedients we ran add fl.Onn.OOl) gallons a dav
lo our supply. Most, however. Is to lie galnid
by the good sense of the penplo In avoiding un
nerenaary waste, and should they only do this
there would not bn the slightest occasion to an
ticipate any trouble between the present tlmn
and the period of the lompletlon nf the new
water extension."

BAt.TlMonr.Aug. 20, At St. Andrew's Episco
pal Church yesterday the choir went out on a
s) mpathetlc strike. The officials aud pewholders
had hardly recovered from the recent shock
given them by Bishop Paret when he spoke of
pastors who were a " scandal and offence to
their brethren," and said that breaking over the
law of the Church the way some had done was
"nothing but anarchy." The Bishop's sermon
was understood tu lie directed at the pastors of
St. Andrew's and Mount Calvary churches,
wliero confessionals had been established and
incense used in the service lu opposition to
Bishop Parct'soiders.
As the Hev. Father I.utz, thn priest In charge
of SI, Andrew's, was about to begin the sermon
jestenlay murnlng. Choirmaster Hall and most
of the choir, which Is Ihe largest In the lit),
left the church. Ihe acol)tes and a few mem
bers of the t holr remained aud tang the mass as
best I li tould. When the hymn had been
sung Father l.tttz. lu a voice ti emulous with
emotion. ald t tin t he had forbidden a choir Imv
losing in Hie choir, and that Choirmaster Hall
haddelled him. When the twy was ordered tu
leave, the choir left out of sympathy
"I will give up this charge at once, t will
telegraph Father 0) er to return. I rannot stand
tho unseemly behaving and liieverence shown
h) the choir during divine service. It's a shame
and a scandal, and I will not tolerate It. Theto
Is no dlsiltillne. order, or plet) In the choir,
and I shall wash my hand clean of Ita out
rflgeiiusiondurl." Choirmaster Halt declared that the priest had
no right In Interfero In his department of the
church service.
The morning row had a depreslng Influence on
tho congregation, and only h few strangers wern
at the evening devotion. A choir was made up
uutof thencnlylesaud few members nf the
choir, who remained faithful tu the priest, but
no organ was used. No sermon was preached,
but bather I.uti took occasion to Iterate the
choir for Its action at tho morulug service.

RcABRtonr, Atlg, 20.-The controversy be
tween Herman Oelrlchs and Klllaen Van Hens
selaer overth'e venturesome bathers nt this re
sort has broken out afresh. The correspondence
between the two men a fortnight ago Is still
fresh In the minds of the people. Mr. Van Hens
telaer protested against daring bathers at this
point, and practically Intimated that Mr. Oel
rlchs, by his conduct and the daring feats of his
friends, stimulated others to a risky course. Mr.
Oelrlchs, In his reply, set out, apparently, to
make tt as plain as a gentleman could that Mr.
Van Hens stlaer was old womanish.
Thn town 1 now Interested over the reply of

A Sun reporter nut Mr. Van Hcnssclncr at his

" Only last Frlda) I saw from myowuplarrn
three women who came near drowning. These
"omen shrieked In the water, and 1 helped pay
nut the life tine. The life Hue broke, and the.i
there was a crv ' A boat! A Imat" A bunt was

light In front of my plarn. A man rushed In
tu save them, but he was too late. Never will I
forget that horrible sight as I sst on the piazza
of my tottage. Never will I forget t lie shrieks
of the mother. All this occurred liefoio my
very c)es. One of the women who cried for
help last Friday was the governess of Mrs. Calep,
and ahe would have been drowned except for
thnllfn snvern. I have received letters from

reckless bathing In front of mv cottage."
Mr. Oelrlchs could not lie seen In New York at
his office In Bow ling Green. Hn came down nn
the 11:4ft o'clock boat, and Just before he plunged
Into the surf for a flve-mllo swim nStrjt reporter
tackled him and asked him what bn hnd to say
In mply to Mr. Van Itenssclacr's letter In tho
rJenllnrJ. He said:
"Nnthlngmuch. except that It mode me tired,
very tired. You see. Mr. Van 11. is n nun of no
ordinary ability, and It Is not an easy matter to
grasp at once and understand his erudite teach
ings. Ho objects to deep water, hut revels In
deep thought, and It requires several perusals of
his essays to understand Just 'where he Is
at:' to discover the application of hlsailaaea,
firoverbs, and quotations, and to tie sure that ho
s not trying to bn funny, when In reality his
fientle, meek, and lowly nature. Is tearfully try
ng to benefit bis fellow man, hence tho tired
feelln gon my part.
"Friend Kl!incnea)s: In support nf my posi
tion since I sent my Bppeal, which you so kindly
published, two other persons have been drowned
at Seahrlght.'
"Goodness gracious! If It requires surhn ter
rible sacrifice nf human llfo to suppoit his posi
tion hn should nt once almndnn It and tnku an
other further back In thn country, say near
Keeler's durk pond nn Itumsen Neck, where his
feelings will not lw harrowed by tho reckless
bathers, unless perchance a stray hen with a
brood of ducklings should happen along.
" If. aa he says, 'conscience makes enwnrds nf
ns all,' what n poor lot we all must be, unless
devoid nf that cnmmodjty which Webster's un
abridged defines Ms the reason employed about
questions of right and wrong accompanied with
the sentiments of approbation and condemna
tion.' " You sen tho trouble is thls-lt Is well to bo
cautious, but It can bo overdone, as friend Van
It. ought to know I,ct him recall a certain In
cident that hapiM?ned away hack In the sixties
when Gen. Hancock had lo admonish him for
being over cautious!"
That Is all Mr. Oelrlchs would say. Now, thn
question Is. what did Gen. Hancock sny to Mr.
Van Itensselaer? Pcrhapsthls will come out In
a future letter to thn editor of the .teiillnrl. It
may be said here that In his career Mr, Oelrlchs
has saved half a dozen persons from drowning.

WHO HELEN CARROLL IS.

Miss Helen M, Carroll, whose iral hospitality 'II
to her guests at thn Chateau Fantaisie, noar II
lleyreulh. Is exciting thn wonder of All Oer- ,!
many, belongs to a family distinguished for -HI
pnnllgallty In entertaining. V4
She Is the daughter of et-llnv. John !.ec Car- - H
roll of Maryland. Her great-grandfather wa
Charles Carroll of Carrolltnn, a signer nf the r,M
Declaration nf Independence, and one of her '''M
ancestors was tohn Carroll, Human Cat hollo JVj
Archbishop of lUlllmnrn. ABj
The present nenerstlon nf Carrnlls hss a 1
strong prrdlUclloti for ttnvet and adventure,
and a desire toshlnn In the social world. One Vll
nf Miss t'nrntll's sisters married a French noble- !
man and the other a titled llermntt. Theyllvn .'Bl
abroad with their husbands. '!
Thn et-tlovernor himself has gone about a '.(ft
good deal In Ktirope, and has spent much nfhla ftS
time In Paris, lli was ambitious to become 'I;
thn Minister to France under .Mr. Clevn- ',
land's first Administration, but thn prlre ,
fell lo a fellow townsman. Mr. Iloyal Phelps S
Carroll, the owner of the sloop Nnvalioe, which
plncklly sailed many hopeless rnces against the
Kngllsb vnthts In litml-loi ked waters. Is Miss .
Carroll' brother. All the Cnrrolls am wealthy. ,
The Income nf thn )nung woninn whose lavish im
hospitality Is dnllv reported with mathematical M
exactness, by Ihe Merlin newspapers Is not pre- M
dsel) known. It Is probable that shn will .
spend not less thnn $100,000 during the '
Wagner festival season nt llayrenth. Thn !
chateau In which she lives formerly belonged to .
Duke Alexander nf WOrtembcrg. It has sixty
rooms, and the numerous American women at .
rlavretith are congratulating themselves thst t
there arc unless. .Miss Carroll has spent $.,0UH
In getting her eiillpngestn Itnyreuth. , , j
Alls Carroll Is a granddaughter nf the 1st
Ho)al Phelps of this city, after whom her
brother, tbn )achtaman nud hunter. Is named.
Her American homes arn nt DoUghoragan
Manor, Howard county, Mil., and Wnthlngton,
Hhe frequently mingles with thn fashionable
societv of Iloston, Newport, Philadelphia, and
this city. Shn was formally Introduced Into so.
cletv three winters ago at a ball given by her
father at lila Washington residence. ;
Miss Carroll Is of modl'im height and figure, ,'
with dark hair and eyes and clear complexion.
Hhedoes not spend her Itimiine. which ahe re-
celves from the estate left by her mother, solely ,
In the pursuit of social pleasure and the enter
tainment of her friends.
A good share of It has been devoted to rharl- .
table and artistic uses. Many a struggling i
Itoman Catholic parish haa had cause to praise
the name of the llliernl-heartcd Maryland girl.
