ON RETIRED LIST End of Gen. Schofield’s Long and Active Career. Retires from Army, Sunday Noon, After 42 Years of Service. Lait of the Vc'eran Generals—Has Greatly Benefited the Army. Washington, Sept. 20.—Today. Lieuten ant General John M. Schofield retires from active service and g'x s on the retired list, after an eventful career in times of war and |>eace. For inure* than seven years he lias been in command of the I’nited .States army, and since Fell. H last he has held the exalted rank of lieutenant gen eral, by sjieelal act of congress. GBVKK A r. SCIIOFIKLIJ. General Schofield was born in Clmu tarjua county, N. Y., Sept. -'J, 1831, mid wm appointed to tin- naval academy from Illinois in 1810. Filtering the artillery branch as a second lieutenant in 1853, tho outbreak of the civil war found him a captain of the First artillery in 1801. He was in active service in the west through out. the hostilities, and in istil was a brig adier general in coinmand of the Army of the Cumberland. During reconstruction times he was in command of the first mil itary district (state of Virginia) for a little over a year, and for 10 month* was secre tary of war, from Juno 2, 1808, to March 14, 1800, in which latter year he became a major general, and after commanding several of tho army departments he be came commander of the army in 1888 upon the death of General Sheridan. General Schofield is tho last of the vet erans of the war who commanded an army or fought a battle himself as such, and the record of his active service in the field is full of brilliant achievements. Hut in ad dition to those, he has accomplished in ati administrative way matters of such sub stantial Itencflt to tho army that his repu tation might safely rest alone on them. Hoim* of II In Work. First of all, ho has always been an ar tillery officer ami lias kept constantly in view the importance of bringing this arm of the service up to perfection. As the senior nieinber of the fortifications board since its creation he lias lost no oppor tunity to encourage invention ami the development of modern ordnance and coast defense, and lias inaugurated a sys tem of higher education among the younger officers of tin* ordnance and ar tillery branches that has had remarkably successful result*. Young officers who showed special aptitude in the schools have been sent to the arsenals by bis or ders; lyecum instructions lias lioon af forded others and a complete instruction in special branches has been given to non commissioned officers and men by means of pamphlets prepared under the direction of General Schofield by experts in each branch. In tin' wider field of army reorganiza tion the general has played an important part. He has for years been an earnest advocate for the three battalion organiza tion. and to him is owing the adoption of the policy of concentration of troops in the great railroad centers and on exposed points on the coasts and the abandonment of small posts. It Is also a notable fact that under Ills administration of the army has come an end «f the Indian wars that have ravaged the western country situs' its settlement, which may at least in part be attributed to the skilful handling of the troops that has made it manifest to even the Indians that that their struggles would lie hopeless. In time of civil disturbances the gen eral has shown himself a most wise and discreet commander. He is largely re sponsible for the admirable construction of the posse comitatus laws, which have never been disturb'd by the courts, and i during the great labor strikes of last year j It was bis wisdom in the administration of these laws that prevented any serious conflict iH'tween the national and state authorities while using the army toalTortl 1 proper protection to national interests.

Lonclcn, Sept. 29.—The extraordinary hot weather has eclipsed nil other topics in England this week. On Tuesday the tkermometor indicated 80 degrees in the shade in London and 133 in the sun. The i„cord is 20 degrees above tlie September average and four degrees higher than on any previous day this summer. The weather since Tuesday has shown little improvement, the mercury on each day rising to S4 degrees or higher. There lias have been numerous cases of .sunstroke during the week and several fatalities have resulted in various parts of the country. MTtS. FPAXrc LKSLIB. At Newmarket, whore the first Septem ber race meeting oix'iied on Tuesday, the heat lias been terrible, 90 degrees in the shade having been recorded. This has had a disastrous effect upon the horses and has greatly affected the attendance at the races. Only a handful of people witnessed the big race of the meeting on Thursday, the Jockey club stakes, in which last year’s and this year’s Derby winners ran. The majority of men on the grounds fol lowed the example set by Lord Roseberry and wore white flannel shirts and carried white umbrellas. Throughout the country the suffering from the heat has been ex treme. In many large factories it was found necessary to suspend work. In London then' lias lieon a general abandon ment of frock coats and tall hats, and straw hats and suits of the thinnest ma terial have been adopted in their stead. The Great Rush Homeward of tourists from the United States seems to be over. None of the steamers sailing this week was quite full. The Lalin took Mrs. William Walter Phelps of New Jer sey. Brundcr Matthews of New York,Nor man Williams and family of Chicago and Clifford Johnson of Chicago. The latter is returning after an absence of IS months which lie has spent, in making a tour around the world. I). H. J)e Young, pro prietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, and Mrs. lie Young and Mr. True worthy of Los Angeles sailed by the Aurnnia. Mr. Do Young lias secured many additional treasures for the California museum, among them being the throne chair of Napoleon the Great. This chair lias a ro mantic history. It was stolen from the Tullories during the Commune and was buried from public view for a number of years. Finally it fell into the hands of a dealer of curios, front whom it was pur chased by Mrs. Do Young. It has been pronounced genuine by tho greatest, ex perts in Napoleon relics in Paris. United States Ambassador Bayard and Mrs. Bayard left on Friday of last week for Wellington, Northumberland, where they visited Sir George Trevelyan. Later they joined a shooting party at Lord Leven and Melville’s place in Scotland. After that they will visit the Marquis of Bath. Miss Florence Bayard and Mrs. Hearst, widow of the former United States senator of California, are in Paris. Both are expected to conic to London soon. James P. Roosevelt, secretary of the United States embassy, is visiting the Bradlcy-Martins, who are entertaining a large party in Inverucsshire, including their son-in-law and daughter, the Karl of Craven and Lady Craven, and Viscount Decrhnrst and wife (the daughter of Charles William Bonynge, formerly of San Francisco). Mrs. Frank Is-sl ie started Saturday for Spain, of which country she will make a tour of several months’duration. When she returns to London, in December, she will sail for New York. United States Ambassador Bayard was the second l>cst shot among the party of 04 who were guests of Lord Leven and Melville. It is rumored th*. Mrs. Langtry con templates marriage tli Sir Roliert Peel in the event of her securing a divorce I in the courts of California. It is openly hinted in society papers that Sir Robert, whose visit to New York last year was the occasion of a great deal of gossip on both sides of tho water, lias little lievond his title, but Mrs. Langtry is stiil rich. Sir Rotiert is 28 years of age, while Mrs. Langtry Is in her 44th year. Tli** Vanderbilt-Marlborough Match. Many protests, more or le-ss serious, arr appearing in the newspapers of London on the depletion of the ranks of eligible noblemen by niarrlagojju ith American women. In connection with the Mark lmrnugh-Vanderbilt engagement, Truth prints an amusing letter, signed Dowager Duchess,” In which the writer says that I she has converted her house into a judi cious combination music hall, burlesque stage, gambling rooms and club and has her daughters instructed in tho most se ductive steps and highest kicks. They have been, she says, encouraged to sing the broadest songs, and no restraint what- i ever has been attempted on their conver sation. They have dined at all the fashionable restaurants and sat almost lie side the most notorious women of the town, yet eligible men persist in marrying actresses or Americans. Truth says that men like good women mid they like bad women, but few except fools like a combination of the two char acters; besides, with the pace set here for wealth above every other consideration, there is uo wonder that the men of today nave no greater ambition than to at tain it. The Daily News says that the engage ment of the Duke of Marlborough and the millionaire Miss Vanderbilt gives addi tional support to the theory that the prin ciple of equality is doomed in America. Among the illustrated volumes of the forthcoming season the most important will undoubtedly be that of the life and works of Alva Tadema. Besides a biogra phy, the book will contain more than 20 photo engravings after Mr. Tadema s his torical and other paintings. These include such favorites ns “The Audience at Agrippas,” “A Rending From Homer,” and Spring,” which was exhibited at this year's academy. As the edition of the book is limited to 400 copies, it bids fair soon to become a rare prize fop collectors. The Prince of Wales intends to bo at Newmarket for the second October and Houghton meetings, and at the end of October lie will be the guest of Harry Me Calmont, with wiiomi lie will shoot at Cheveley. Dramatic and Other Notes. Next year is the erntennary of the birth of Robert Burns, and it is in that connec tion proposed to hold an exhibition of rel ics of the poet at the Institute of Fine Arts in Glasgow. The corporation of the city lias already voted £250 toward the project. Turner’s picture, “The Trout Stream,” lias been purchased by a Manchester col lector for 4800 gui ueas. It has been decided by Beerbohm Tree to reopen the Haymarket theater with “Trilby” on the evening of Wednesday, Oct. oil. Meantime the dramatic critics nre striving to induco something of a “Trilby” boom in anticipation of the event. Mr. Tree has appeared in the play .any times during his provincial tour, having this week been seen at tho Court theater, Liverpool. The consensus of opinion in regard to the production is that while the play is interesting, it is also weak and is only sc,from mediocrity by the acting of Mr. c.te. Oil Monday. Oct. T, "The Strange Ad ventures of Miss Brown,” a play which will soon lio seen in America, and the plot of which is analogous to that of “Char lie’s Aunt,” will lie transferred from the' Vaudeville to Terry’s theater in order who on the following Wednesday will re sume possession of the former house witli a now comedy to bo known as “The Mater.” A new comedy drama lias been written by Francis Francis, a soil of the late Will iam Francis, t lie well known lishing editor of The Field. The piece lias lieen pur chased by Herbert Standing, who is now playing the part of Sergeant Tanner in “The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown,” and will shortly be produced at one of the West End theaters. Sydney Grundy’s comedy, “The New Woman,” has been played during the past week with fair success by Comyns Carr’s company at the Theatre Metropolc, Cam berwell. to make room for Apt Quotation Tho old Tate and Brady version of Ihc Psalms used lo bo as familiar to a former generation as was tho catechism. A good story was told not long ago of two noted Englishmen, Lord Palmerston and Bishop Wilbcrforco, In which tho once popular psalmbook plays an important part: These two eminent personages wero vis iting at a country house. On the morn ing of departure they were told that car riages wero ready to tako the departing guests to tile railway station. Palmerston settled to go in one of those carriages, as ho feared there would be rain, but the bishop, who was a great pedestrian, pre ferred to walk. Before lie had proceeded half way to the station a heavy shower of rain came on. Yet the good bishop struggled on, when tho carriage containing Lord Palmerston overtook him, and his lordship called out from its window a part of tho llrst verse of the Tate and Brady version of the lirst Psalm: How blest is he who ne’er consents By ill advice to walk. But Bishop Wilbcrforco, with the usual twinkle in his eye, replied with (lie rest of tho verse: Nor stands in sinners* ways, nor sits Where men profanely talk. And tlio bishop drew to one sido and pro ceeded to walk on.—Youth’s Companion. Go Nicely With Konst Captives. War is a frightful tiling under all cir cumstances, and some of tho most dread ful wars have been waged on the most, flimsy and foolish pretext, even if they had a pretest at all. But probably no stranger reason for war or peace was ever recorded than has been noted by a French governor of tile south Pacific colony of New Cale donia. This governor, who was also an admiral of the navy, assumed his authority while tho natives of Now Caledonia were still cannibals. There had/icon rumors of an insurrection, ami the admiral called be fore him a native chief who was faithful to the French cause und questioned him as to their truth. “You may lie sure,” said the native, “that there will ho no war at present, be cause tho yams are not yet ripe.” “Tho yams, you say?” “Yes. Our people never make war ex cept when tho yams are ripe.” “Why is that?” “Because ba'.vd yams go so very well with tho captives!” THE STOCK MARKET.

The bent, com ing from it would alTcet our temperature by twelve-millionths of a degree, and tlie atmospheric tides caused by it. would only affect the barometric pressure a few hun dredths of au inch, far less than tho changes always taking place from other causes. Even the halo round tho moon Is dis credited. It has been found by observers that it is followed by line weather as often ns by rain. About the sun there nro many fallacies, and ever sinco the discovery that the spots on its surface appear with greater fre quency theorists in shoals have triisl to prove that they rule our weather. It has been proved that the frequency of sun spots and the variations of the magnetic needle are intimately connected and that the aurora appears anil disappears ip some sort of sympathy with the sun spot variations, but this is as far as wo con get for tho present, as these changes seem to have no definite relation to our weather. Mr. Scott tias proved that there are no equinoctial gales. Coming down to earth, we find a long list of statements of the behavior of ani mals and plants having a supposed con nection with tlic weather. K. J. Isitvo has carefully examined a number of well known signs, and all seem to break down completely. He took the signs of bats Hying about In tho evening, many toads appearing at sunset, great quantities of snails, lish rising to the surface, bees busy, crowds of locusts, restless cattle, landrails clamorous, flies and gnats troublesome, many insects, crows flocking and noisy, spider webs thick on the grass, spiders hanging from their welis in the evening and ducks and geese making more iuaso than usual. Calling a day fine when no min was measured in the rain gauge, ho found In 881 observations of such signs that they were followed 213 times by fine weather and only 148 by rain. Even swal lows flying low cannot be depended upon, as especially In summer and autumn they almost invariably skim along tho ground. Animals probably feel the dampness or darkness preceding wet weather, and this makes them uneasy, but not more than it affects man himself. As to cows scratch ing their ears and goats uttering cries, they ore no more true us signs of rain than the adage whicli credits pigs with seeing tlie wind. Only a selection lias here boon made of Iho vast catalogue of fallacies that have grown up about tho weather. There aro still people, Mr. Inwards remarked in con clusion, who believe that the saints’ days rule tlie weather, that the sun puts out fire and that warm water freezes sooner than cold. Who Wa* He?

Call for the National Convention. In deference to a time-honored custom, the- genera! officers of the National W C r. I herewith anm uoee the fact already so well known, that the twenty-second annual convention of ths organization will beheld in Music hall Baltimore, Mil October lw-ii.'s, 1*05, and Issue th- ir call to the elans already gathering to come up in force to this Mecca of a year's hopes and har\est home of a year’s toil. 'l’he year just closed has not b on with out its sorrows. We have entered the dark valley of di ath with many who have long bet u identified with ottr cause, and have seen Heaven grow richer as earth has grown poorer,by their passing beyond. It has also been a year of deep gladness, for w« bave stood upon more than oik illuminated mountain peak and watched growing bright! r and brighter the pro photic gleam which heralds the comiDg dawn. The 1'ulyglot meetings in Wash ington. and the groat convention in the heart of tbe world's life but just closed, have marked epochs in our history, from which wo can but go forward in conlidence to greater tilings beyond. The Baltimore meeting will be in many respects not unlike Its predecessors. There will bo on the first evening ad dresses of welcome from representatives of Maryland's best life and responses front t hose who stand closely allied to our great work ail over the United Slat s. Yeve ning will come with its usual Interest, and for the rest there are plans of more Uian usual importance yet to bo worked out. The days will bring their reports of work already accomplished, and plans foi further enlargement. There will be tile hush of the prayer hour, the blessed com munion of heart with heart, the touch of soul to soul. Nairn s honor'd the world over will be upon our programme, and no effort will be spared to make this sum ming up of our majority year worthy its Inception. The fact that the convention will this year he the guest of the State union and not of Baltimore alone, is it: itself significant as marking th. warmth of our welcome. Let us come up in prayer, in faith, iit t lie strength which belongs to those whose dwelling place is in llie secret presence of the Infinite. The call for a day of prayer on October will he found in this col umn. It is our wish that as never before that day may be observed. Surely we of all others need that girding of strength which can come alone through taking hold upon Hod in prayer. More and more our work is taking upon itself now fea tures, and the magnitude of its scope is bi coining more apparent. More and more wo arc realizing that this warfare upon which wo hn\t entered is the warfare of life against deatli; light against darkness the righteousness of Hod against the un righteousness of all that opposes Him We are coming to sir that we stand for tie day when throughout the whole earth His will shall lie done; when His kingdom shall beset upon the hearthstone of each home, the altar of eaoh ohuieh, the mar ket places and the busy ways of all life's thronging activities. That day when "upon the lie I Is of the horses shall written holiness unto the Lord;” when life shall take on its trite meaning as “hid with Christ In Hod.’' given up on the ■'elf side for the full uufoldment of tlie Divine side, which is the all-embracing whole ness of a redeemed humanity. In the strength of this thought, in tin courage of this hope, in the fuller gleam ing of that “light which never shone cn sea or land,” luit which shines forth in the human face which has seen Hjd, and been “changed into the -into image from >*'ory to glory, Ictus come together; ami Hu who first called us into being, will uiely lend us on to greater and still gteatcr victories in His name.

Now our Do'ly—well, she’s gifted Leastways that’s what they say She writes for books and papers And gets a lot of pay— For little simple stories That we’ve all beard many a time; But some how they seem different When she writes them out in rhyme. I knew of course you’d be surprised For wasn’t pa and me— Two as excited people, As ever you did see. The night we saw the verses That she wrote about the Fair. We knew, ’twas so, every word of it, For wasn't we right there. The horse race now, as true as I live The way she set that out. And the way "Old Meg’’ came in ahead You could almost hear 'em shout!

I don’t think I should care to bo a pro fessional “strong man.” One who says ho knows declares that their average routine is to rise about K a. in., take port wine mid an egg, lounge around for an hour, go to bed again, sloop till about noon, rise once more, oat a hearty breakfast, do the lounging art again, perhaps tako a walk, woo the mat tress again and sleep till pretty near the hour of performance.

"Chicago is so thoroughly recovered from the anarchy scare," said an attorney whilo waiting for tho court to urrivo, ‘‘that it can afford to laugh at many things that happened about ten years ago. •'I remember that about a year before tho Haymarket bomb was thrown the town was considerably worked up ovor tho anarchist meetings on the lake front, the processions with red banners and all that. There was considerable talk about tho so cial revolution, and the leaders of tho movement were becoming very prominent. “One morning when I came down town I noticed on tho walls and fences big post ers showing a blood red Ilag with the word ‘Bread1 across it in white letters. There was something very significant in tho do sign—tho red ilag of anarchy and tho threat of blood behind tho demand for bread. Every one on the car was talking about the posters and seemed to think it was a pretty sorious matter. ‘‘Well, sir, those things had been put all ovor town during that one night. It seemed ns if there must hnvo been a thor ough organization of tho revolutionists to put up so many of tho posters. 1 remem ber that one of tho prominent anarchists was interviewed as to the meaning of tho red Hags and tho demand for bread. ‘‘lie said It meant that the social revo lution was at hand; that tho workmen were organized and would get bread for themselves nfid their families even if they had to destroy the capitalistic class to get it. Ho said tho bread placards wen; simply put up to give tho capitalists warning. "A few mornings after that more post ers bearing red Hags appeared in all parts of town, but this time each ilag boro tho words ‘Aerated Bread.’ ‘‘The whole thing was a schemo toad vortiso a new kind of bread being baked by II. II. Kohlsaat, who was then the big baker of the town, although ho had not become so well known as ho Is at present It didn't appear that he intended to fright en any one lie simply chose a novel method of advertising his improved bread, and people were ready about that time to uttaeh a dark significance to anything that was red. “But the attempt of the anarchist lead ers to adopt Mr. Kohlsaat’s aerated bread schemo w as ono of the most amusing in cidents of tho entire 6care."—Chicago Kocord.

At least that Is tho opinion of tho Bov. G. R.

Punch is very like Pons, or Pounce (Pontius) Pilato. Judy was In tended for Judas, the traitor, or for Judith, who slew Holfernes, and Toby was evl dently tho dog mentioned in tho book of Tobit. Ho therefore discarded tho Italian derivation of tho word nnd held that the modern form of tho old religious show was simply a corrupted edition of a miracle play which had Pontius Pilato ns its huro I That Tired Feeling Is a common complaint and It Is a dan gerous symptom It means that the sys tem is debilitated because of Impure blood, and in this condition It Is especially liable to attacks of disease.

The Granite Foundations Arc Well Along on Three Sides. The work on the new city hall building has progressed rapidly during the past week and the ntimber of men have been increased daily until there arc now 50 In all. and more will be put on the first of this week. The dirt is still being excavated from the section near the western side and car ried away for grading purposes. Many of the near residents have taken advantage of this opportunity for getting good ma terial fur filling in and In this way much of the refuse material has been disposed of. The foundations on the western side have not yet been started owing to the necessity of having to reaoh the level of the river bottom. The retaining wall close beside It is about 25 feet high and it' is expected that the foundations will have to be of this depth The stones and some of the dirt which had to be dug from this part have been dumped into the river, but most of it has been hoisted to one side and carried away in teams. There have been about 50 yards of granite foundations laid in all. most of it on the eastern side where the excavations were completed first. There lias also been some laid on the front, close to the east ern side, and in the rear Three derricks are employed, two run by steam donkeys, the other by hand. The mason work is being hastened as much us possible to enable the brick lay ers to commence work, which will be by the latter part of the week. The conveyance of granite lias been managed successfully and eight two horse teams are employed daily in transposing the material from the Sylvester granite quarry on the North Belfast road. The route being free from hills, is most expe ditious. The work, last week, was in charge of Herbert G. Foster, uf the contracting firm, during the absonco of M. Foster, who has been in Aroostook county attend ing the State board of trado excursion. To see the crowds which congregate about at all hours to view the proceedings on the new building one would suppose that they either had nothing better to do or else were deeply Interested. The prospects are most encouraging and the work will undoubtedly be well along hv the time the cold weather comes. CERTIFICATES FILED. Two New Companies Become Corporations Under Laws of Stale.

An instance where a dream, or at least a part of it, came true was brought to the attention of a Journal man, Saturday. Chancing to meet a Mr. Colhy of West, Gardiner on an electric car from Hallo well, Saturday morning, the Journal learned the foil,.wing, which may hoof Interest to some of the readers and will !>o found very ditlieult to explain. Mr. Colhy has a daughter stopping with a Gardiner family. He never had loft his team there whenever he visited her, hut Saturday, lie decided to do so as he has a now horse and wished to go to Augusta When he saw Ills daughter she turned very pale and was so agitated as to attract his attention. When asked what the trouble was. slie said she dreamed the night before that her father came there, driving a new horse, put his team up, and went on to Augusta. But the last part of the dream was what especially troubled her. She dreamed that he came back from Augusta with an arm shot away When the Journal man met Mr. Colby all the dream with the exception of the shooting had been fulfilled in every detail. _ There have been received recently by ti e Kennebeo Natural History and Antiquar |an Society to be phioed in its tnosenm, some interesting curiosities. One Is a Con fiderate army sword manufactured by the Nashville l’low Works just ivfore the be ginning of the Civil War. 11 was found amongst a lot of other abandoned arms on the field before Fort Donelaon. The swoid is of unusual appearance and few of its kind have ever been found. Another curiosity is a pod of Burmah beans. F.ach seed is alKiut its large as a Seckel pear. Kight of these beans are enclosed by a pod about three feet long. This pod is heavy and said to be used, when dried, by the police oilicers of Burmah. their nubbly surface making it a most formidable weapon when used upon the person. 1 his pod was brought to America by the Kev .1 A Cochrane, who was at one time a missionary to Burmah. These curiosities were presented by Mrs. .Tames H. Cochrane. A SAD SUICIDE Mrs. J. E. Devine Takes Her Life While Temporarily Insane. Used a Knife and Cut Her Throat—Death Came fainlessly. Mrs. James E. Devine committed suicide, at 9 o'clock. Saturday mornlDg. by cutting her throat, in a fit of temporary insanity. The case of Mrs. Devine is one of the saddest that has ever come to the lot of the Journal to chronicle. The victim had been 111 about six months with a severe attack of gastralgia and showed consider able mental disturbance. Mrs. Devine also manifested a suicidal tendency, so she was carefully watched. But a fort night ago she seemed to fully rcoovcr from her sickness The only thing she said during her ill ness that gave any intimation of her men tal truublis was that she hoped she might die, and. Saturday morning, she said to her mother, who is In feeble health: i “I always wanted to live in order to take gco l care of you, dear mother, but I think I will very shortly leave his world.” The morning of the sad occurrence, Mrs. Devine seemed very much better, eat a light breakfast, and at 8.35 went to the toilet room. There she was found. 25 minutes later, by her aged mother, with her throat cut from car to ear. She was sitting on the floor, leaning against the closet with a deep gash across her throat, which severed the arteries, jugular and carotid veins and windpipe. She must have died instantly anti without a struggle. Dr. G. W. Martin was summoned, but his services were not needed, however, as when he arrived life was extinct. The Instrument with which the deed was done was a large, sharp pocket knife The knife was found In her right hand which was lying In her cap. Coroner Libby was notified but dot mod an inquest unnecessary, every indication tending to show that death was the result of suicide. Mrs. Ada Isabelle Devine was 41 years and 5 months old, having been born in the town of Yarmouth in the year 1851. She is survived by her husband and two daughters, Mrs. F. H. Folsom and Miss Hannah Devine, both of this city. The members of the family of the dead woman arc completely prostrated by the shock and have the sincerest sympathy of all their friends. The funeral will be held,this aftt rnoon. at 2 o’clock, at the Congregational chapel, Key. J. S. Williamson officiating. AMUSEMENTS. "Sowing the Wind."

WIDOWS IN FRANCE. CUSTOMS WHICH MAKE THEIR LOT ANYTHING BUT PLEASANT. T1a«lr Property Right* Are Almo*t Nil. Their Chance* For Social Recognition Contingent Cpon the PoMwwIon of a Deaghter or a Second Marriage. The Parle widow Is a surprise. I can not tell exactly what I had expected, hut (or aotne reason or other the thought of French widows always called np vague recollections of the bereaved young person in ‘‘A Trip to Chinatown.” I humbly beg the pardon of the real Paris widow. She is much more like the oriental wives who die on the funeral pyres of their hus bands, and she Is often almost as secluded as If she were burled alive. Naturally this does not refer to “the people,” ns tho French call the working classes. When the small grocery man dies, hls widow, who has sat at the desk and been cashier and bookkcei>er dnring his lifetime, sits there still, and every thing goes on ns before except that there Is a “Vve” put before the name to show that “Widow (Veuve) Maurice,” or what ever her name may lie, Is at the head of tho business. There is no attempt made, as thorn often Is In America, to give the impression that affairs are in tho hands of n man. The women are too shrewd and experienced as shopkeepers to need any such pretense. With the women of society it is differ ent. It is not easy for a stranger to make observations in this field, and above all in the direction of widows. Tho easiest way to gain information is to cultivate somo widow who haH seen bettor days and get her to reveal tho secrets of her sad estate. This is not difficult. Widows with money are the prey of designing relatives and unscrupulous guardians, so that there are always plenty of them who have been re duced to keeping boarders, which, after the pawnshop, is their sole resource. “In Franco if a husband dies without a will, leaving a widow, but no children, nil his property, oven though it may have been held in common during ids lifetime, goes to his family. His widow lias noth ing. If he tiles without a will, leaving a widow and children, all the property goes to the children. The widow may live on the Income with her children, provided she can arrange it with their guardian, hut If ho Is so Inclined he can forbid her receiving a cent from her children and compel her to earn her own living. It IS terrible, isn’t it?” It was a bright, attractivolittieFrench woman of 40 who told me this. Shelias been a widow ton years, and although hor husband left her a fortune of $150, 000, and although she had her own dot of $18,000, she Is now keeping boarders for tlie princely sum of $5 a week. Hor hrnth er-ln law, in whose hank her entire for tune was placed, failed at a judicious in terval after her husband's death, and Mmo. T. found herself with a young son to oduento without income and without resources except a small country house. This she sold and put hor 15-year old boy In college, liy tho advice of prominent lawyers she set about trying to recover her dot, which Is supposed to bo the In alienable property of a married woman. She failed, and In the meantime had sold or pawned most of hor jewelry and fund turn. Do I ever wish I had a daughter?' Hold Mmc, T. when I nskod her tho ques tlon. “Oh, no. 1 can never be too thank ful that. I have noun. Without money she could not hope to marry well, and her Ufa would ho ruined. With a son ll is differ ent, Ills earner Is entirely dumped, hut It does not make such a hopeless thing of his lifo. If I had money? Oh, yes. Then I would wish for a daughter, because that would make it possible for me to go out occasionally anil mingle with the world.” "Hut if you hnd money, couldn't you flo that?” And then Mmo. T. explained to me a state of affairs wlilcli was appalling from an American point of view. A French widow becomes lost to sight and quickly forgotten by society. She cannot go to reoeptlons or balls or dinners nr muslcales or anything in which the heart of woman delights. This law of the conventional ities does not apply to the period of mourn ing only. It is a perpetual lock and key on any spirit of effervescence or natural desire to be something besides a housekeep ing hermit. If, however, she bus been blessed with a daughter and enough mon ey to make a presentable appearance In society, she can take her daughter out when that young lady Is old enough. A sou is not a sufficient excuse for this en trance into society. Therefore bli ssed bo tho daughters of widows. But under no circumstances can sho go Into society before she takes her daughter with her. If site has intimate friends, sho may dlno with them, but It must be strict ly cn fnmillo. If these friends are of a inntehmnklng turn of mind, they will oc casionally invito some man to dine at the same time, and In this way tho widow lias nn opportunity to speak to hor follow men. “When these friends Invited you to dine with them and asked some man to meet you, was It with the idea of giving you nn opportunity to find another husband/” “Yes,” admitted Mine. T. “They knew that my life was practically closed if I did not marry again, and they wanted to give me the chance, “And if you found acquaintances you liked, why could you not invito them to dine with you, ami let them bring their friends, and so oalargo your circle, all in very quiet way IF "Because I couldn't. Because, again, I was a widow. If I bad Invited any gen tlemen, or If they bad come to see me, tho concierge would have complained of mo. "There are two classes of human beings In France who have no liberty. They aro young girls and widows, and of the two the former aro much the happier because their seclusion does come to an end, since they are almost sure to marry. The wid ow Is liberated by the same method, but the road is a more difficult ono.”—l’arls Cor. New York Sun. The Speed of a Bicycle. Whenever the rider revolves his jiedals once In a second, he is riding faster than eight miles an hour. If his blcyclo Is geared at 00, one revolution a second will carry him 10?* miles an hour; if at ii;i, his speed is a half mile faster, at US it is lU miles, at TJ it is almost 111 miles and at TO It is a little more than 13,’y. One revolu tion a second is, therefore, faster than tho rider of a 60 gear can legally travel.— Pittsburg Dispatch.

Daily Fashion Hints FASHION ITEMS. Jjufe Baches and Boas—Ostrich Feathers For Many Cses. The pretty fichus now so fashionable are only worn over plain gowns—that is, over gowns having a skirt and bodice of the same material. Over a differing skirt and bodice the effect is patchy. The fichus look well over wool drosses, hut appear to greatest advantage with silk costumes, which are much worn now. 11 is a popu lar fancy to make a collection of small, jeweled pins to fasten these fichus, which arc often draped across the bosom in vari ous ways. A bow at the back of the neck continues to he the favorite way of finishing a high collar. Large ruches are reappearing with cool weather, and collarettes of feathers also. The ostrich, although an ungainly ra VELVET CATE. bird, Is becoming decidedly fashionable. Ills plumage is employed lo adorn hats, bonnets, collars, capes, evening bodices and even jackets, and there is talk of ac climatizing him In England and using the eggs as food. Some of the winter jackets are very striking and look rather more suitable for evening wear than for daylight service. Cloth in blue, mastic, red, beige or gray is the material chosen, and the garment has a Henri II collar and fantastically cut rov ers trimmed with ostrich tips. The scams are covered with gold and black galloon, which Is carried vertically to and upon the collar. I Hack satin bloomers are now considered the thing to wear under the bicycling skirt, as they are smooth and do not cling to the inside of the skirt. The latter is frequently lined with silk, although a firm woolen goods really needs no lining ami Is made heavier t hereby. Hard twisted covert suiting is the most serviceable ma terial, and durability is a point of grea' Importance in bicycle suits, as it is in rid ing habits. Hoggings are madoof the same material as the gown. A sketch is given of a cape of black vel vet. It is trimmed with applications ot steel embroidery over red satin. Around the neck is a thick ruche of black lace fas tened by black satin ribbons. The liat worn with this cape is of black felt, with a waved brim, and is trimmed with black ostrich plumes.

Directory Operated by Electricity Exhibited ir. Augusta. Saturday. A machine was exhibited, Saturday, at the office of the Augusta (las and Water Company which promises to completely revolutionize many cf the methods now employed for giving information. There seems to he absolutely no limit to the dc veiopmeut which this machine may effect. Its purpose is essentially to enable one to obtain the greatest pos-lble informa tion with the least possible inconvenience. The machine is constructed with a dial around the circumference of which are placed, alphabetically arranged In groups, matters on which information may be desired. By rotating a hand which works similarly to the hand of a clock, any of the subjects enumerated on the dial face, the machine is set in motion and in a few seconds full information upon that sub ject is shown in an adjacent face. The particular branch of information disclosed by the one on exhibition, yester day, was that of a business directory; if one wanted to find out where to buy fur niture he turned the hand to“F,” and learned of a number of places for that purpose, what lino of cars to take to get to them, their telephone numbers, aud. In any cases where guidance of exit and a safe return Is necessary, It can he detailed at the discretion cf the maker. Any reasonable quantity of any kind of information desired can he contained in these machines. The virtue of the system lies in the condensation made possible and practicable. In the case of a time table, for Instance, tho stations on the route can be represented on the dial-face and the requisite information within time of starting, arrival, accommodation, changes of ears required, and likewise time of return, in fact anything which is usually tabulated in a common time table. In a station of great size, like the Union station in Boston, such a method is claimed to be invaluable and totho.se people who ate either through their own siownfss or the often indistinctness of enunciation on tho part of the officers of information, who are located at the stations, it will lie a boundless source of comfort, and of real service. These machines will, it Is said, be placed in the Boston Union station and be put to the test. There is one serious drawback, how ever, and that is the obstinate refusal of these Imieaus to answer more than one question at a time, and on that account will be seriously objected to by many. It will be of servieo to many of the tourists who Mood the country, so blase or uncertain that they know and care lcrs where to go next. These may approach one of these conveniences and by whirling the hand around a few times tsrnpt the cycle of fortune to send them wheresoever it will. It is also claimed of it that, with future developments and co-operation with the phonograph and megaphone, it will announce on trains the arrivals at stations In a manner pleasing to the ear and Intel ligihle, which as yet bus not been univer sally acquired by railroad officers provid ed for that purpose. The machine is a genuine innovation and appears to be all that is claimed of it T. S Daly of Boston, has been its repre sentative in Augusta and this section, ami the company putting it upon the market is said to be well represented here. The company is known as the “Electric Directory Company' with Fred K. San born, president; Timothy Daly, tresis urcr;andfor directors these two gentle men and also Edwin N. Peabody, William S. Baldwin and James E. Wade. As its name implies it is operated by electricity which can either be generatedjwitliin tin machine or induced Irani an electric light jet. _ A man unknown in Augusta took the Kennebec dam for a bridge, Saturday, about noon.

With the aid of some small boys who were playing near by, he got out ami disappeared on his way over Sand hill. Lieut. Mark L. Hersey, I Jth Infantry. U. S.
