In Irish, Dutch or Prussian,
And knows the early history of Bombay.

Her mathamatics make her look “ intense,"
She talks of protoplasms

She’s s mandolin musician,

She can also hammer brass and antique gold.
She wears a pair of glasses,
And looks down upon the masses
With a fierce contempt and manners very cold.
In other words, her culture
Soars aloft like the bold vulture
And views the world from elevated scenes.

T1IK GKBAT MYSTERY.
Dow Wim Henry Bonlinyon Dis
posed or?
The San Francisco Bulletin has the
following: There has been nothing
talked about in this city for some
days but the mystery connected with
the death of II. Benhayon. The
newspapers have been loaded down
with pages of testimony, taken before
the Coroner’s jury, which have been
greedily devoured by all those who
have the time for such work. To the
more busy part of the community the
condensations which, while following
steadily the narrative, present all the
points in a clear and succinct shape,
have been in the nature of a boon.
The terrible story cannot be said to
present American features. It reads
like something that had happened in
Paris or London. Many of the charac
ters who figure in are not easily re
cognizable as the products of our
civilization. The sensation caused by
the death of Benhayon depends on the
light in which it is viewed in connec
tion with a murder equally startling,
committed some time ago. Ben
hayon is the brother of Mrs. Bowers,
for the murder of whom by poison J.
Milton Bowers, her husband, is now
under sentence of death. The motive
for the atrocious deed was supposed to
be a life insurance to the extent of
about seventeen thousand dollars on
Mrs Bowers’ life, made payable to the
husband. The confession alleged to
have been left, by Benhayon states
that it was he and not the husband
who poisoned his sister, and that his
motive was to get the same insurance,
which had been transferred to him.
The first aspect of the case was a
suicide brought about either by re
morse or the loss of a memorandum
book in which the evidence of his
crime were noted, the agent used for
hh- uusiruuuon oi mu utuug ivauiuu u*
potassium. If this should be finally
determined to be the true version of
the case, Bowers, who was convicted
on circumstantial evidence, will neces
sarily be pardoned, and will receive
the $17,000 for which his wife’s life
was insured. But the theory of sui
cide has been strongly doubted from
the beginning. There is no legal evi
dence that Sirs. Bowers ever trans
ferred the policies on her life
to her brother, Benhayon. The man
ner in which the body was found sug
gested the idea that death was not
caused by himself. He appeared to
have been carefully laid out. There
was no disturbance observable in tho
apartment. There is also a good deal
of mystery connected with the
hiring "of the room. Persons more
or less incomprehensible appear
at various stages of "the thrilling
drama. Cyanide of potassium, a few
days before the murder or suicide, wras
obtained by one of those persons. On
tho other hand, experts affirm that
the confession of Benhayon is in his
handwriting. If these conclusions
should be established the theory of
suicide would be greatly strengthened.
But this class of testimony no longer
holds the place in the courts for
merlv accorded to it. Besides, his
mother denies vehemently that the
confession was in her son’s hand
writing. , , ,
Whatever may be the solution of
the tangled and bloody skein, it is
quite clear that the curtain has been
lifted on scenes, tragedies and actors
of which tho public heretofore had
little knowledge. If tho popular no
tion should be realized, we have
among us individuals quite as bad
as tho Borgias, to whom human life
is nothing when it stands in their
way. A loose system of life insur
rnce, in this case amounting, as al
ready stated, to $17,000, is the thread
by which the terrible narrative hangs,
no matter from what point it is
viewed. It is that pile of gold
which, according to the verdict of
tlio courts, induced Bowers to poison
his wife. Again, in the suicide the
ory, it is assigned as the cauBe
which prompted Benhayon to i>oison
his sister. It will finally fall to the
condemned Bowers, if under the new
revelations he should be given his
JJfrty- It is quite evident, no mat
ter whatever is the outcome, that
something will have to be done to
check these loose forms of life in
surance which offer premiums for
crimes of the most atrocious character.
A LUCKY IIEAI,.
The Jack Pot Happened to be
Worth #33,000 and He Caught It
With Fonr Aces-A utile Uanie
or Cards.
Major Edwards, a well-known edi
tor and boomer of Fargo, Dakota,
went down to Sioux Falls on business
the other day, says a correspondent of
the St. l’aul Globe. When his arrival
became known Frank Pettigrew, the
whilom Congressman, and Melville
Grigsby, the South Dakota dictator,
hunted him up, and in less than an
hour the three were comfortably
located in a splendidly upholstered
oincem tnerearof the First National
Bank, with their hats drawn dqwn
over their eyes fighting like bulldogs
over variegated jack pots. Grigsby
and Pettigrew had the advantage in
that they were fighting on their own
heath, and fortune seemed inclined to
give the Major a cold shoulder, but he
stood his ground well and met his
losses with the grit of a Spartan. All
the afternoon and into the night the
battle waged, growing hotter each
hour, and the beautifully colored red
and blue chips were gradually piling
up under the chins of Pettigrew and
Grigsby, while the Major had been
compelled to lay several checks of
good round proportions on the table
to meet the “ stabs ” that his
antagonists were making at him.
The sweat was rolling down his face,
there was an anxious look in his eyes,
and he showed signs of nervousness.
He was a heavy loser. It began to look
as t hough he would have to walk back
to Fargo. At last the cards were passed
to him to deal, and shaking them
together carelessly he laid them over
on Grigsby’s side of the table tor him
to cut. Grigsby didn’t cut. Slowly
the Major dealt the cards until the
hands were out. It costs a hundred
dollar bill to stay and Grigsby raised
it to $200. Edwards saw that and
dropped his cheek for $500 more in the
center of the table. Pettigrew and
Grigsby looked curious, but they were
in and had to meet the raise, which
they did.
“ Cards!” said Edwards.
“ One!” said Pettigrew.
“ One!” said Grigsby.
Slowly the Major gave them their
cards, and pulling five from the pack
laid them down in front of him.
“The devil, thought Grigsby.
“ What a snap,” thought Pettigrew.
The Major picked up his cards and
glanced them over. Grigsby’s eyes
snapped, for he had a queen full on
jacks. Pettigrew’s eyes glistened, for
he had four kings. The Major’s eyes
had a sort of a sad, sorrowful expres
sion.
“I’ bet $1,000 that my hand is
good,” said Pettigrew, showing up
chips and checks to that amount.
“ I’ll bet $2,000 that my hand is
better,” said Grigsby, raising Petti
grew’s bet.
The Major laid his cards down on
the table and said:
“ Gentlemen, I’m broke. I’ve
checked out to you the last cent I’ve
got in the bank, but if either one of
you wants to take a mortgage on my
newspaper office for $10,000 I'll give it
to you and bet that amount oi money
that my hand wins the pot.”
“One of his old time bluffs,”
thought Grisby and Pettigrew', and the
latter said, “ I’ll take the mortgage,
Major, and advance you the inony and
I’ll call the bet.”
“I’ll do the same,” said Grisby,
filling out a blank check for $10,000
and laying it on the center of the
table.
“ l reckon I've got you, lor nere are
four kings,” said Pettigrew, tossing
his cards down ahead of time.
“The -!” ejaculated Grisby,
crushing his queen full in his hand.
“Hem!” said the Major; “it’s
pretty tough, gentlemen, but I had to
have ’em. Here are four aces. It’s
funny how they stuck together that
way.”
lie raked in the pile and the game
ended.
Outside Frisby said to Pettigrew,
“ Did you ever see such luck? ”
l’ettigow replied, “ Luck 1 you seem
to forget that ’twas his deal.”

Salt Lake Tribune: Mrs. Clara
Belle McDonald, who shot at her
father-in-law, McDonald, in the Bald

from girlhood. She is one of the kind
that never ought to have been born a

gets his eyes blacked and his nose

or two, and the experience teaches
him to bo decent. Had sho killed
McDonald she would have got off on the
plea of insanity. She is a “ little off,”
but her insanity is of the kind that
when it appears in a man a thorough
licking will cure quicker than any de
vice of the asylums. She ought to be
put in a cabin and made to do her own
cooking and washing for about a
month. By that time sho would bo a

A Glimpse at the Imperial stables
or Anstria—Thousands of Animals
or Rare Ulood.
I rank Kichardson writes to the
Baltimore bun from Vienna, about
brands Joseph and his horses, as fol
lows: “All the royal family are
fond of horseback exercises, and the
Empress, when in England two or
three years since, wan pronounced to
be the best lady rider in Europe. It
was her custom always to accompany
the Emperor on his gallops though the
great public parks of Vienna, but it is
now a year or more since she has
been on the back of a horse, having
been positively interdicted such ex
ercise by the learned doctor of Am
sterdam who attends her. As she is
50 years old it is perhaps time she
should give up such violent exercise
as she made it.”
l visited the stables of the Empe
ror, which, with the court yards, cover
I don’t know how many acres of
ground, and saiv the spacious inclos
ure where the Empress used to break
in fractious steeds before riding them
in public. A private dressing-room
for her especial use is attached, with
all conveniences, including mirrors
all around for her to admire herself in
her riding-habits, and a gallery for a
band of music, which played while
she displayed her skill and nerve
amid the plaudits of the select few
who were admitted to the exhibition.
The stables are not more finely ap
pointed than several I have seen be
longing to private gentlemen in the
United States, but were many times
larger, and the stalls are immensely
roomy. The Emperor owns more
than three thousand horses, distrib
uted through the stables attached to
his various palaces in town and
country.
“In the Vienna stable there are
now about 440 horses, attended by
200 stablemen and grooms and
guarded by a regiment of infantry.
The horses are all picked and all
young. Over each stall is the name
and pedigree of the horse and the
year in which foaled, and I saw none
that were over six. When they get
past that age they are considered no
longer fit for tlie Emperor’s use, but I
could not discover whether they are
sold or given away. Never less than
eight horses are put to the great
coaches on state occasions, nor less
than four for the smaller carriages.
To very few of the coaches is there a
driver’s seat, as postillions in the
most gorgeous and elaborate livery are
put upon the horses. There are two
sets of horses particularly which, if I
may be permitted to borrow that
favorite feminine expression, ‘were
just too lovely for anything.’
“There were twenty milk-whites
and twenty coal-blacks used for the
occasions. The whites were white as
white can be, and the blacks, twenty
magnificent stallions, who carried
their proud heads as high as any Em
peror, were black as black could be.
Such flowing manes, such tails, fairly
trailing on the ground, and combed as
fine as the liair of women, were a
sight to behold. There were nearly
one hundred horses in the stables,
used only under the saddle, and upon
whom no harness had ever been
placed. It would be quite impossible
that Francis Joseph or any other man
could get much personal use out of
the 3,000 horses, even if he demoted
ids whole time to riding and drilling.
But the entire stock has a chance to
show what it is made of, for it is the
custom of the Emperor upon all state
occasions to provide the numerous
staff which attends him and the Em
press with coaches and horses. The
stan win inciuue nunureus, iuiuu iwm
female, of tlie blood royal and of the
nobility, besides the military officers.
“ The collection of carriages is not
less interesting than the horses. The
number here is about one hundred
and fifty. There are a dozen or more
grand coaches, blazoned all over, even
to the wheels, axles and poles, with
gold and gilt, and the pannels orna
mented with painting. The ornamenta
tion on the coach first made for Marie
Theresa could not have cost less than
$100,00t>. This coach is never used
now. Standing by its side is the
coach in which Napoleon Bonaparte
and Marie Louise first rode as consorts,
and not far away is the little coach
of rich and artistic design, and which
was drawn by goats, is there to re
mind Francis Joseph of the drives
which he enjoyed before he put on his
trousers. There are several carriages
which belonged to the Archduke Max
imilian, the brother of the late Em
peror, and also the saddle which he
rode in Mexico before the Mexicans
put cold lead into him. These are re
garded as precious relics and no one is
allowed to put his finger on them.”
A Hlntsulur Event.
Portland, Or., Oct. 20.—A singular
event occurred her to-day. At noon,
Mrs. T. B. Newman was buried at
Salem, and at 9 o’clock this evening
her daughter, Miss E. G. Newman
was married to II. S. Butterfield, a
well-known jeweler. The reason
therefore was that the wedding day
had been set some time since. Mrs.
Newman on Sunday called her daugh
ter to her bedside "and said to her:
You must under no consideration
postpone the wedding. It is my dying
request that you, my darling daugh
ter, bo married at the time set. I
know that I will die within the next
24 hours and I solemnly charge you to
obey me.” The daughter promised to
obey and the mother died Monday
evening. The funeral occurred to
day at Salem and the wedding to
night in this city. The relations in
the city were present at the wedding.
There was no supper and it was a sor
rowful affair.
Both Wives Hissed Him.
The devotion of the Pittsylvania,Va.,
wife was fully dmonsirated recently
on the conviction of a bigamist named
Jackson Short, who was sentenced to
the pententiarv for two years. Both
of his wives were witnesses against
him and when the verdict of the jury
was announced, wife No. 1 stepjwd up
to the prisoner’s box and kissed the
convict affectionately. Straightwav
wife No. 2 hurried forward and kissed
the man in distress. The Court, jury
and the people were all overwhelmed.
THIS WASHINGTON dm.
Red Headed Girl* and White
Hone*.
The red headed girls and white
horse craze has hit Washington hard,
and it is getting so red:lieaded girls
don’t dare to venture upon the streets
since it has got out that whenever you
see a red-headed girl you will see a
white horse. As a red-headed
woman walks along the street she
becomes aware of the excitement she
is creating. Every man who sees her
stops short and begins to look up and
down for a white horse. Men who
see her pass the window rush to the
door to look for a white horse. If she
goes into a store she can not but ob
serve that the clerks slip to the win
dow or door looking for a white horse,
and she sees men, as she passes along
the promenade, signaling each other
and shouting back and forth.
One of the prettiest young ladies in
Washington, whose crown' of sunset
hair has been her pride, went home
crying the other afternoon and de
clared she never, never would go on
the street again till every idiot of a
man was dead, who, just as soon as
they saw her, began looking for a
white horse.
A young department clerk met a
red-haired lady clerk in the same
division and immediately ran to the
window. “What are’you looking
for?” she asked.
“ For a white horse,” he replied.
“ When 1 see a red-haired girl I al
ways look for a white horse, and there
he is.”
“Indeed,” said the young lady
Sweetly. “ And whenever I see a
white horse I always lode for a fool.”
Congressman Eeriah Wilkins, of
Ohio, got himself heavily “ stuck ” for
25-cent cigars on what he thought was
going to be a smart trick. He
wagered a box of “rerlectos” cigars
with a gentleman where he could take
him on a street where he could see
six heads of red hair, and that there
would not be six white horses in
sight. The bet was taken, and Beriah
marched his friend in front of a store
for the sale of human hair, and in the
window were six lay heads adorned
with red wigs.
“ There,” said brother Wilkins,
“ I’ll take the cigars.”
The other gentleman began to wilt,
when at that moment a funeral pro
cession tured into Fourteenth street
from New York Avenue, “ and among
the horses were six white ones.”
A man in Washington has a stand
ing offer of $25 for the first proven
case of seeing a red-headed girl and not
seeing a white horse.—From a Wash
ington Letter.
Noddy iu Wyoming.
A Boston woman wrote to the
Mayor of a new town in Wyoming
asking for information regarding the
state of society in his town, as she
contemplated going there for the bene
fit of tiro health of her children. On
receiving his reply she concluded to
remain in Boston a while longer. The
Mayor wrote:
“ As for society, it is bang up. This
is a mity morrel town, considering
that there’s Gil saloons to a popula
tion of 2,005. But every' saloon has a
sine up sayin’: “All fitin’ must be
done outside. No Killin’ Allowed in
this Boom.” Only two men lias been
killed since Monday, and to-morrow
will be Wednesday. Cheating at gamb
ling is punished iynchin,’ and every
effort is being made to put tire town
on a good morrel baysis. Ladies is
universally respected, and I sell them
beer at half price when they buy at
my place. There is a grand sacred
concert and free dance every Sunday
night, and the preacher don't have ter
stay ter home on account of the big
rush at his bowling alley. Don’t
hezzytate about cornin’ here on ac
count of soweiety. This is a morrel

I'lie Evils of Oiiul|i.
Some time since Bishop Huntington
read a paper on “ Talkirfg as a Fine
Art” to some school girls in Syracuse,
New York, in which he strongly re
buked tlie practice of scandal-monger
ing. Tlie following is a paragraph
from tlie addross, which is not one
whit too severe on the evils of idlo
gossip:
“ I say to you, weighing my own
words, that you would be less de

The Hoi emu Funeral Paee.
Elko Independent: A ljei;eaved
widow, who took the remains of her
husband by the Central Pacific rail
road to Ogden for interment, wrote
to her friends that she was deeply
touched by the respect shown to the
late lamented by the railroad com
pany running the train conveying his
revered remains at a most solemn
funeral pace. Poor woman! ft is to
be hoped no one will deprive her of
the consolation she thus derived from
blissful ignorance of the fact that this
“ solemn funeral pace ” is the regular
every day, all the year round rate at
which this company totes its passen
gers, dead or alive.

A HUSBAND’S TKOUBUKS.
How « Harried Woman Docs to
Sleep.
There is an article going the rounds
entitled “ How the girls go to sleep.”
The manner in which they go to sleep,
according to the article, can’t hold a
candle to the way a married woman
goes to sleep.
Instead of thinking what she should
have attended to before going to bed,
she thinks oi it afterwards. While
she is revolving these matters in her
mind, and while snugly tucked up in
bed, the old mail is scratching his
legs in front of tho fire, and wonder
ing how he will pay the next month’s
rent. Suddenly she exclaims:
“ James, did you lock the back
door?”
Which door?’ says James.
“ The cellar door,” says she.
“ No,” says James.
“ Well, you had better go down and
lock it, for I heard some one in the
back yard last night.”
Accordingly, James paddles down
the stairs and locks the door. About
the time James returns, and is going
to bed, she remarks:
“ Did you shut the stair door?”
“ No,” said James.
“ Well, if it is not shut, the cat will
get up into the chamber.”
“ Let her come up, then,” says
James, illnaturedly.
“My goodness, no!” returns his
wife, “ she’d suck the baby’s breath.”
Then James paddles down stairs
again and steps on a tack, and closes
the stair door, and curses the cat, and
returns to the bed-room. Just as he
begins to climb into his couch, his wife
observes:
“ I forgot to bring up some water.
Suppose you bring some up in the big
tin.”
And so James, with a muttered
curse, goes down into the dark kitchen,
and falls over achair, and rasps all the
tinware off the wall, in search of the
“big” tin, and then jerks the stair
door open and howls:
“ Where in the duco are the
matches?” She gives him minute
directions where to find the matches,
and adds that she’d rather go and get
the water herself than have the whole
neighborhood raised about it. After
which James finds the matches, pro
cures the water, and comes upstairs
and plunges into bed.
Presently his wife says:
“James, let’s have an understand
ing about money matters. Now, next
week, I’ve got to pay-”
“I don’t know what you’ll have to
pay, and don’t care,” shouts James, as
he lurches around and jams his face
against the wall, “all I want is sleep.”
“ That’sall very well for you,” snaps
his wife, as she pulls the cover vi
ciously; “you never think of the
worry and trouble I have. And there
is Araminta, who I believe is taking
the measles.”
“ Let her take ’em,” says James.
Hereupon, she begins to cry softly,
but about the time James is falling
into a gentle doze, she punches him in
the ribs with her elbow, and says:
“ Did you hear that scandal about
Mrs. Jones?”
“ Where? says James, sleepily.
“ Why, Mrs. Jones.”
“Where?” inquires Janies.
“ I declare,” says his wife, “you are
getting more stupid every day. You
know Mrs. Jones that lives at No 21?
Well, day before yesterday, Susan
Smith told Mrs. Thompson that Sain
Barker had said that Mrs. Jones
had-”
Here she pauses and listens. James
is snoring in profound slumber. With
a snort of rage, she pulls all the cover
off him, wraps up in them, and lies
awake until 2 a. m., thinking how
badly used she is. And that is the
wav the married woman goes to sleep.

A Missouri Snake Story.
The following comes from Lathrop
Mo., under date of October 21: About
a month ago Mrs. Andrew Lettes, wife
of a farmer living fourteen miles from
here was out in the garden with her
son. Two snakes were noticed fight
ing and she told her sou to kill them.
Taking the hoe, he mashed both of
their heads, Mrs. Lettes intently
watching him all the time. A week
ago twins were born of her. The
heads of both were flat and resembled
a snake’s head, while their tongues
were protruding continually. No at
tempt has been made to clothe the
monstrosities, and they have been
kept in separate boxes. The moment
they are put together they commence
to fight and run out their tongues in
the most disgusting manner. They
are at this time alive and well, but
the family has attempted to keep the
facts frtjfp the newspapers.
Orderly Buys.
The simple matter of a boy’s being
trained to be orderly may seem of
very slight moment in determining
the happiness of his future home, but
at least every housewife with a care
less husband will appreciate the im
portance in practical living. A lad ac
customed to have his sisters or the
servants pick up whatever he chooses
to leave about, will come some day to
be a constant vexation to the tidy soul
of his spouse, when he might almost
as easily be taught to aid rather than
destroy the neatness and order of his
home. The mother who allows her
son always to consider his own in
terests, and never to feel that the com
forts and wishes of those about him
are his affair, is preparing a husband
who will some day render miserable,
through sheer thoughtlessness, any
sensitive woman who links her destiny
with his.—Ex.
