A NIGHT WITH YOUNG GYMNASTS

Training School.

and Vault and Climb
to tha Celling.
A (rand spectacle wai presented last
nigbt in tba gymnasium of tba New
Turner ball by tbe pupils of tbe physi
cal training school of the Turnverein
Oermanta. The parents and frienda of
tbe pupils, by invitation, gathered to
witness a display of the work and meth
od! of the school, and rarely those who
bad never before seen euch an exhibi
tion must bave been both bewildered
and initrnoted by the novel exercises
tbrongb whioh the pupils, young and
old, were pot.
Little tots "knee-high to a grasshop
per," swung in mid-air on poles and
rings, or climbed hand over hand to the
high oeiling, while older onos performed
on the horizontal bars, swung Indian
clubt, marched in squares and endless
figures, and went throngh all aorta of
exerciaea, caliithenioa and gamee.
The naileries and the floor of the big
gymnasium below were lined with spec
tators, tbe parents and frienda of the
performers. They watched the pretty
figures and evolutions with tho greatest
of intereat and not a little anrprise.
Prof. F. L. Jahn, the inatructor of the
school, a great athlete himself, superin
tended all the arrangementa and led the
classes and the games. The school ia
admirably equipped with modern para
phernalia and the perfection in drill and
discipline to which the profeasor bas
t-ronght even tbe tinieat people, ia aim
ply wonderioi.
Rehire the exercises Mias Tesaa Kelso
■uade a short address. Sue referred to
'.he fact that the Turn Verein Usrinania
ha> 'reen the lira', institution to recog
r xi the need ot physical training for
nen und children, und then to the
, d work it haa already accomplished.
"Physical culture will make the world
better," tbe speaker said. "It will tead
to make a healthy people and happy,
free from crime, independent and pros
perous."
Alter tne addreaa tbe little folks, boys
and girls from 6' to 10 yeara old, marched
in aingle file into tbeopen apace reaerved
in the center for the exerciaea. The
wee bits of humanity were aoon put
through a series of evolutions and then
went to work on the swings, ropes and
poles.
All tbe girla were dreased in gymna
sium coatumes of navy blue with white
trimmings, most of the costumes being
of tbe bloomer and divided ekirt pat
terns, wbile tbe boys bad suits of gray.
The class was a hundred strong, and
' when all were in action the sight waa a
pretty one, indeed.
The exerciaea on the olimbing polei
excited the wonder of all tbe spectators
The little son of Fire Chief Moriarty wta
the first to climb to the top and touch
tbe great beam supporting the ceiligg,
and tben down again he slid like a flsah,
Bnt others followed, even the little girls
getting near to tbe high goal; though
not quite.
Then came exeroiaes by tbe cissse* on
tbe Whipple iaddera, and tbe game of
antagoniatica by tbe boys, who atood on
one leg with arms folded and bunted
eaoh other nntil one or the other would
toned tbe floor with tbe foot beld up,
was charming fun for tha participants
at well as the spectators, and the shouts
and laughter of the ohildren almoat
drowned tbe applause from the galleries.
Tbe game of Lily of the Valley, by
32 girls, was a pretty one, followed by
a dumb-bell exercise by thejolder girls.
Tben came the girls on the round
awing and the flying ringa and tbe game
of tag the third.
Misa Adelaide Hasee and Professor
Jahn gave a fine exhibition of foil fenc
ing, and it was noticeable tbat tbe pro
fesaor cried "touch" oftener than bit
fair opponent, . .
Tbe wand exercise by the older boys
and tbe high jumping and vanlting were
pleasing to spectators and most certainly
enjoyed by the boys.
Tbe game of rider.ball provoked just
langbter and applause.
The Maypole danoe by tha girls waa
the prettiest feature of the whole, per
haps.
The ladies' class In pretty divided
skirt gymnasium coatumes of blue and
white gave a fine club swing
ing drill, and to close the entertainment
the senior boys' class gave the single
stick drill, a very intrioate and delight
ful exercise.
Paris Greatly Excited Over the Disclosures
Follo-n-ing the Arrest of Captain Dreyfus.
Tho excitement over the spy mania
is still high in Paris. Tho case of Cap
tain Dreyfus, who is awaiting court
martial, causes extraordinary comment.
It is said to be the intention of the gov
ernment to insist upon the extreme pen
alty of death in case he is found guilty.
Thero is apparently good authority for
the statement that precise particulars
respecting the transport and concen
tration of the Frenoh forces in tho
event of mobilization after a decla
ration of war wore placed in the
hands of agents of the triple alli
ance. The hours of the departure and
running of trainß with troops on tho
main railway lines and also the branch
lines were set forth, togother with do
tails of tho places at which stores would
be procured en route. It is asserted that
evon the original documents were sup
plied to the intelligence department of
tho triple alliance at Berlin.
Another story relatos that the disap
pearance of somo important paper from
a pigeonhole at the war office was fre
quently noticed. After diligent search
th'j document would bo found in the
precise place from whioh it had been
abstracted. The general staff also Is
said to havo been awaro that the Ger
man war ofliee prided {tsclf on its ini
tiation into many of the secrets of the
plan of mobilization. For * long time
thp French military authorities wero
puzzled, but eventually succeeded in
. unraveling tho mystery. It will be
quite another thing to provo who has
beeu guilty of these acts of high treason.

tive Wel)s of the Sixth Wisconsin dis
trict ia carrying a gnn, a the advice ol
Speaker Crisp, joking? given, with
which he intends to dfend himself if
Watson H. Cook, a br*her of tha Be
publican who defeated Wells at the last
eleotion, attempts to ortail his career.
Cook has challengec'Wells to fight a
duel. Weils haa retaed, and Cook, ao
Wells says, haa thresened to kill him.
The trouble beganwith the election.
Wells got Cook a nice ii the pension
offioe, but when" book's brother wae
nominated againafWella for congress
Cook took the etuop for his brother.
Wells told Cookthat ii he persiited
he would have km "bounced," but if
be would returr to Washington he
(Wells) wonld nt disturb him. Cook
returned to Wshington. Wellsvwas
overwhelmingly beaten, and in bis cha
grin over hia dyfoat he repudiated the
agreement witbCook, ao Cook claims,
and sought to «t Cook discharged. The
latter got wind of what waa going on,
and benca tr* challenge, which waa
conveyed by tord of mouth from Cook
to Wells at tb> capitol last Monday.
According 0 one version, tbe dialogue
ran in thia w»y :
"I want," laid Cook, "to know if you
intend to gefme bounced."
"I do," splied Welle with much
warmth.
"If yon flit me bounced, Wells," re*
torted Cookwith a savage gleam in bia
eye, "I'll slfbot you."
"See hen. Wells, I am going to chal
lenge yon t- fight a duel with swords or
pistols, ant if you don't tight I'll kill
you."
"I fight only with gentleman," re
plied Weill, sharply, and then taking
the arm o a friend, walked awty. Cook
left the cipitol.
Wells, greatly excited, toid Speaker
Crisp wlat had happened, and asked
the spealer what he should do.
The sieaker replied jokln.ly: "First
I would get Cook's aoalp and then 1
would arm myself and watch for bim."
But Wfll followed ths tdvice to the
letter, md now tbe speaker is annoyed
that hs has become mixed up in the
tbe afair. Wells submitted charges
against Cook to tbe deputy commis
sioneiof Densions, and Cook was dis
missed. Then Wells visited a hard
wa restore and bought a navy revolver.
Nowhe la "watching out" for Cook.
PREPARING FOR WAR.
JiUXICO TAKING TIME BY THE
FORELOCK.
Hie Transport Oaxaca at San Diego to
Takt on A rim and Ammunition
to Ba land Against
Guatemala.
San Diego, Deo. 13.—1t was learned
today on what is considered good author
ty, that the Mexican transport Oaxaca,
now in port, ii waiting here for a de
cisive turn iL the Mexioo-Guatemala
question witb the intention, if war
seems inevitable, of taking on a cargo
of ammunitiol and arms to be taken to
the port of San Benito, on the Guate
malan frontiir. Tbe Oaxaoa will prob
ably take troops from Guaymae and
Mazatlan to San Benito on tbe aame
trip.
Captain Alejandro Cerisole of tbe
Oaxaca wou.'d not admit tbat such was
the purpose of hia viait here, and reiter
ated that He vessel was simply under
going repairs, and tbat she would then
await orders from the department of
marine. lie eaid that he was disap
pointed, however, in not finding every
thing tbat he desired to outfit tbe ship,
and this remark is taken as a confirma
tion of the report concerning firearms
and ammunition, as everything In the
way of provisions, supplies, ooal, etc is
at hand in thia port.
William reason, superintending engi
neer for Den Joaquin Hedo of Mazatlan,
who ia in tbe city with Joaquin Redo,
jr., for tbe purpose of purchaaing the
ateamer Manuel Dublan, is in oharge oi
tbe negotiations daring tbe temporary
absence of Mr. Redo in San Franoisco.
General Manager Bruce of tbe Coloniza
tion company owning tbe steamer, is
expected to come up from Eneenada
Sunday morning, and tbe deal will then
probably be closed.
It is not unlikely that the DubUn is
being purobased for the impending
Guatemalan war, either by the Redos
privately or through them by ths Mex
ican goverament. It was learned today
that the purpose oi Mr. Redo's visit to'
San Francisco was to go over tbe esti
mates for two or three veasela to be con
structed for him in that port. The rea
son given for this unexpected activity is
that the trade along the gulf and Pacifio
ooaats of Mexico ia rapidly increasing,
but the rumor that the transport Oax
aca is preparing to ship arms and am
munition lends oolor that the Dublan
and tbe new steamers will be utilized
for naval and transport purposes by tbe
Mexican government.
Circumstantial evidence.
The London "South End Mystery" to Close
With the Hanging; of Read.
It is many months since Loudon and
all England have been aroused to such
unanimous interest in a criminal trial
ns that manifested in tho solution of
what has been known since June last as
the south end mystery. A young mar
ried man in comfortable circumstances
named Read has been tried for the mur
der of Floronce Dennis, a young wom
an with whom he had improper rela
tions. Her body was found in a lone
some spot, and there w»s no direct evi
dence to connect Read with tho crime.
It was principally hi* reckless, unsup
ported denials and the extraordinary
story of his depravity in many direc
tions that finally resulted in his convic
tion and sonteiice to death.
It was proved that he was iv the
neighborhood of tiie murder when he
asserted ho was CO miles away. It was
alsoshown that he had similar relations
with several other women, and that the
murdered girl was about to become the
mother of his child. Nevertheless the
evidence was not suifloiont to convict in
an American court, and the prisoner
reifflrmed his innoconco in strong lan
guage before the death sentence was pro
nounced upen him. He will be hanged.

BEWARE OF PNEUMONIA.
Health Commissioner Kdson of New Tork
Tells How to Ward It Off.
Although moro or loss provalent
throughout the yoar, pneumonia is pe
culiarly dangerous during tho opening
months of winter. With the'first frosts
a vory marked inoreaso takes place in
tho number of oases, and during this
cold, damp weather extra precautions
should be taken. Pneumonia is proba
bly produced Iry an earth microbe, and
whan frost prevails tho soil beneath
tho house is the only ground which is
not frozen. Tho germ gradually works
toward the warm, moist earth, and tho
house really aots as a sort of flue, which
forms a ready mode of egress for them.
Tho proper ventilation of rooms is there
foro an important factor in guarding
against pneumonia, ono, howover, which
is often overlooked.
Laok of personal hygiene is the chief
predisposing cause of the disoaso. Ir
regular hours, insufficient nourishment,
dyspepsia, excessive fatigue or some
disease which has lowered the general
tone of tho system all weaken the pow
er of resisting the pnoumonia germ.
When the system is run down, a sudden
exposure to cold may prove fatal, while
in a normal condition of body It would
be thrown off.
There are three periods during whioh
the susceptibility topnenmonia is great
est. They are early childhood—that is,
up to 7 years of age, between the ages
of 20 and 40 and after 60. The power
of resistance against pneumonia grows
much feebler after 60 years of ago, and
nine-tenths of tho oases provo fatal.
Cold, damp weather is favorable to
the contraction of "colds" and tho sub
sequent development of pneumonia, and
it still exists to some extont in a modi
fled form. This is tho disease with which
pnoumonia most readily combines, but
it. is found in combination with diph
theria, typhoid fever, measles, scarlet
fever and many others.
Whon a severe or sudden chill has
been contracted, the main thing is to
act quickly, and many a serious illness
can bo averted and valuable life saved
hy a little intelligence coupled with
promptitude. If possible, send for a
doctor immediately and take ten grains
of quinine and five drops of spirits of
camphor in a littlo water or on a lump
of sugar. These doses are for an adult.
Then soak tho feet in hot water and
jump into bed. Simple as these remedies
are, thoy have nipped in the bud many
prospective cases of pneumonia.
Whilo soaking the feet the body
should be warmly wrapped in a blan
ket, which should bo kept on until some
time after the person has entered the
bed in order that froe perspiration be
continued and not checked.
A good thing to prevent "colds" is to
wear wool next the skin. When this is
not possible on account of the irritation
sometimes caused, a mixture of wool
and silk will generally be found satis
factory. I would not reoommend ootton
in any form for underwear, as it is fre
quently the cause of a dangerous cold
by becoming wot and keeping the tem
perature of the skin below the normal.
Care should be taken that the feet do
not get wet, or if so tbat prompt meas
ures are taken to dry them and a change
of hose made.
The care taken of the outside of the
body must be supplemented by the same
caro of the inside. A moderate diet,
wholesome food, plenty of rest, regular
hours, will keep the whole system in
good order and enable it to throw off
the germs of disease, which can only
obtain a footing when debilitation af
fords an entrance for the disease and a
fruitful soil for its development.—Cy
rus Edson in St. Louis Post-Dispatoh.

A Male Model For Diana,
f One of the funniost things that havo
come to light for a long time is tho
oonfession by a malo model that he
posed for St. Gaudeus' statue of Diana
now flourishing from the top of tha
Madison Square Garden. The model is
a young Englishman who possesses a re
markably symmetrical form, but among
all Olympus it is hard to reconcile a

: tors of Mutual Interest,
"It isn't a difficult thing to boa bun
ko steerer,'' said the man in the hotel
lobby to a roporter. "Do you see that
olean looking old man over thereon the
settee? Well, that's Mr. Walker from
Binghamville. I heard a man call him
by name and inquire about all the folks
down at Binghamville. I don't know
whether Binghamvillo is in this state
or Kentuoky or Texas. Don't Relieve I
ever heard of it before,,but I
ovor there and mako him think I know
the town like a book. That doesn't
signify tbat he's green or'that I'm par-
but it's a faotnever
theless."
"What if he begins to ask you ques
tions?"
"I'll get out the best mwl can,
Now, you go and sit in that' chair-just
beyond the big#settee, and you can hear
the conversation.''
"All right. I'll do it, bur you'll get
yourself into trouble."
"Do you think so? I'll simply sit
down beside him, and we'll havo a nico
chat about old times."
"I "beg your,,pardon, Imt isn't this
Mr. Walker?"
"That's my name, but you've got the
best of me."
"I thought I couldn't be mistaken.
My name is Sparks. I live here in Chi
cago. It's beon a good many years since
I was at Binghamville."
"I expeot yon would hardly know tho
place. "We've made a great many
changeß in the last two years. , We've
just built a new schoolhouse."
"You neodod one, sure enough. What
did thoy do with tho old.one?''
"Tore it down. It-wasn't any ac
count. :You reoolleot the hay barn that
stood -a littlo ways east from the old
schoolhouse? Well, that burned' this
summer.''
"You don't cay sol Let's see, who
owned that?"
"Old man Martin. He baled a lot of
hay in that place."
"That's so. I remember now. • The
last time I was in Binghamville Estop
ped over a oouple of days with-the
Smiths."
' 'Sylvester Smith, that ownerbthe gen
eral store?"
"Yes. He was a nice man."
"Ho's all right if you know him.
Kind o' queer at times."
"I noticed that. However, I always
got along well enough with him."
"He had a nice family."
"Indeed he had. What are the ohil
dren doing?"
"You know the oldest girl was mar
ried?"
"Yes. I received an invitation to her
wedding. How about the others?"
"I guess they're all at homo but Jim.
He's away to sohool most of the time."
"By the way, I became acquainted
there with a mighty nioe fellow. He
runs a drug store. I guess you know
who I mean."
"Homer Temple?"
"That's tho man. He liked to hear a
good story as well as any man I ever
met."
"Yes, Homer will have his fun. I
s'poso you heard of the sorape he got in?''
"I heard something abont it, but nev
er got the particulars."
"He got chasing around after a widow
over in Brampton, and his wife left
him for awhile, but she's baok now."
"That's good. Are you going to have
a pretty good fair down there this year?"
"The fair's over at Millioent."
"Yes, I know. I'll never forget the
time I drove over there with Charlie.
We started early"
"You mean Charlie Henderson?"
"Yes."
•'Oh, he was a great hand to go to
the fairs. He stays at home more since
he got married. You know'ho married
one of the Jenkins girls."
"I guess she's a pretty nice, girl."
"She is that. You remember'the old
man's place on the Brampton pike?"
"Beeu past it many a time. He owns
considerable land out there, doesn't he?"

general Casstns M. Clay's Wedding; to His
Fifteen-year-old Ward.
The only witnesses to the marriage
were McClelland Richardson and Dr.
Cassius Clay Smith, tho latter a physi
cian of Richmond, Ky. Dr. Smith re
fused to say anything about the wed
ding, explaining that he had promised
General Clay not to do so.

place In the sitting room. The bride
was not dressed as brides nsnally are.
Sho wore a plain dark dress, waa bare
headed, her long black tresses hanging
in an almost disheveled mass down
her hack. She wore no glovos, had no
nrango blossoms and carried no bride's
roses in her hand. It was a simple cere
mony. The girl, who had remained sit
ting until General Clay and tho magis
trate arose, got up from the divan and
took her place beside her whito headed,
bridegroom. It waß a touching soene.
Tho man who had led admiring thou
sands in a crusade for human liberty/
who in his youth was a perfect Apollo
Bolvidere in appearanoe, if not a Na
poleon in the cause of abolition, stood
as meekly as a little child, with an ex
pression of unspeakable happiness upon
his time worn but still fresh and almost
youthful features, and by his side that
Bimplo, trusting country girl, as shy as
a gazelle, knowing as little of the groat
world in which her venerable husband
had played so conspicuous a part as the
most untutored daughter of nature.
The ceremony was very brief, and when
it was over the bashful child went back
to the kitchen, and General Clay and
his family physician sat talking by the
largo open fireplace, in whioh glowed
two bushels of burning coals.
And thus was celebrated ono of the
most remarkablo weddings that ever
took place in the Unitod Statos.— Lou

That Are Very Interesting;.. r
Both Belgravia and Bohemia, Tint tf>
say the church and stage, will be great*
ly interested in the news of twoengage
xnents about to be announced..
Now, I want to preface my volcjngof
the rumor by declaring that I know
both engagements will be emphatically,
even violently, denied, but that is only
the proper caper now.
I hear that Mra Parany Stevens la to
marry Mr. Albert Morris Bagby.
Now, nobody needs enlightenment as
to Mrs. Paran Stevens, but there may
be a few forlorn folks whose social en
cyclopedia contains no reference to Al
bert Morris Bagby.
Nevertheless he is a charming chap,
of whom the women always speak as
"that dear little Bagby."
He is a western born man of really
oriental taot and finesse. '
He gives music lessons, having been,
the favorite pupil par exoellenoe at
Liszt, and*incidentally he gives the
svvellest musioales of the season at tie:)
Waldorf—at $5 a ticket.
Ho has charming manners andMtas
just completed a novel on the romaMflio
life at Weimar of his great teacher,jitho
Abbe Liszt.
Ho has attained a really enviablavpo
sition in tbe genuine haut monde»BOlely
by his gentle breeding and his immense
diplomacy, and nobody but his rivals
will wish him aught but lots offplums
in his wedding cake.
The other engagement that w&U soon
be announced is that of Miss Olive
Chamberlin and young Harper, son of
a member of the great publisbixig house.
The very name of Harper is synony
mous with Methodism and millions,
and Miss Chamberlin is the daughter
of that popular all round sport and
"nature's nobloman," John Chamber
lin.
She is a superb young woman still in
her teens, of the Junoesquo type of beau
ty and inheriting the magnetic charm
of her mother, who was the brilliant,
beautiful Emily Thorne, sister of the
late Charles R. Thorne, Jr.
The stamp of approval of Miss Cham
berlin'a beauty and cbio bears the Hall
mark of such* connoisseurs as George
Work, George de Forest Grant and
Franois Sykes, and she is as brilliant as
she is beautiful.
I am requested to deny authoritative
ly that Mrs. E. Berry Wall contem
plates going on tho comic opera stage,
or that she is even considering the offer
made her by a well known impresario.
To be sure, sbe is taking singing les
sons and ia cultivating her voice with
really fervid devotion; but, bless you,
so is E. Berry himself.
No, Mrs. Wall will not appear on
any stage, not even tbo amateur, this
year.—Cholly Knickerbocker in New

THE MATCHMAKING QUEEN.
She May Not Be Physically Strong, but Is
Able to Arrange Convenient Marriages.
Queen Viotoria is said to be getting
increasingly feeble in her powers of lo
comotion and has to be carried up stairs
or the smallest rise of ground. But
whatever may bo her physioal condition
her mental powers are absolutely unim
paired, and her capacity for work is
undiminished. Sbe takes increased in
terest, too, in matchmaking, and has of
lato repeatedly expressed her opinion
that the poorer princes of the younger
branches of the royal house of Eng
land ought to marry into the wealthy
aristocracy of Groat Britain as Prince
Adolphus of Teck has just done.
This young man has certainly done a
wise thing by choosing as his wife tho
daughter of the Duke of Westminster,
the richest peer in England. Few peo
ple outside the two families and the
lawyers are likely to possess trustworthy
informationsrespecting the settlements
in this match, but rumor has it that the
duke has provided a dowry of $000,000
bosidos settling $35,000 a year upon the
young couple. It may be said with ab
solute certainty that the prineo has
brought nothing into tho settlement be
yond lifo insuranco policies and possi
bly a fow thousands provided by the
queen, with whom he is deservedly a
great favorite.
It is no disgrace to tho Duke of Teck
to say that he lives well up to and prob
ably considerably beyond his income,
eapooially since the future king of Eng
land became his son-in-law.—London

Florence BlytUe's Millions.
Florence Blythc-Hinckley has virtu

estate which contestants in the Califor

from her. > Generally speaking, it is
worth from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000.
It consists of a San Franoisco block,
80,000 acres of land ia San Diego coun
ty, 44,000 oores of land in Mexico, ad
joining California, and an interest la
1,800,000 acres of land in Mexico. Just
what the Blythe estata interest in thoso
1,800,000 acres is will have to bo de
