Marion Ln Toucho, tho daring financidro of many aliases, hail to stay in a cold cell nt I Jefferson Market Prison all through last night and this morning. Big nmstached lloynl Ia Toucho, who enacts tho part of Itawdon Crnwley to his wife's rolo of Becky Sharp, hv.rriod all over town in a desperates effort to get ball, hut without success. Mrs. La Toucho took the situation philo gopWcally, however, and kept uphordig. nity and good spirits. Sho had expensive moals brought in from n well-known caterer's ftablishment and did full Justice to them. In order to inako a creditable appearanco in court nt her examination in the afternoon, she caused her moid to bring her a dross of inoiro silk trimmed with lino laco and an elaborate feathered bonnet. lloynl La Toucho visited the fair prisoner hoforo breakfast, and conversed earnestly w ith her on tho ways and means of getting out of the clutches of tho law, but for tho rest of tho day the gallant man's attention was entirely taken up with his own affairs. Mrs. S. 11. Molntyro, tho landlady of 165 "West Twenty-third street, whore Mrs. La Toucho had ncr elegantly appointed office, notified the man of tho black mustacho that lio and his wifo must remove their offocts forthwith. Aftor tho dreadful disclosures that tho police had mndo as to tho character of her tenants, Mrs. Mclntyro said that sho could not think of keeping either Mr. or Mrs. La 'Toucho under her roof. Tho owners of tho offlco building, 3G Pino street, whoro Mr. La Toucho did an ostensi ble business ns on advertising agent, also no titled him to quit, so his own troubles en grossed his attention. Inspector Byrnes, feels that his prisoner is likoly to escapo tho greater part of her de served punishment through tho unwilling ness of tho greater number of her victims to como forward and prosocuto. Many of these fashionnblo ladles, the In pootor says, woro operating without tho knowledgo of thoir husbands, and others fear that it would injure thorn socially if they mado their speculations known fu a pohco court. Mrs. II. M. Stack ond Mrs. Gronier, who went to tho Inspector in tho first instance, liavo decided to pockot their losses quiotly. They w ill not appear against Mrs. La Touche. Ex-Senator Thomas F. Gradv, who has been hired as counsel by Mrs. La Touche, says that ho will prove that, despite his client's part record, her dealings with Mrs. Clara A. Johnson, the complainant in this coso, wore fair and above board. He produces the following letter to Alfred Carr Co., brokers, in Mrs. Johnson's hand "writing j 40 LKXIN0T0N AVXMJX, Oct. IT, 1887.

Ex-Senator Grady claims that this lotter shows that Mrs. Johnson was not duped at all, but speculated and lost in tho usual way. m m QUARRELLING OYER AN OPERA. '.An Attachment leaned Agalnt tho Owner or the Trompeter of Sneklnson." Ex-Judge A. J. Dittenhoefer, as counsel for Xeo Goldmark, has secured from Judge Law Tonoo, of tho Supromo Court, an attachment against tho property of Ileinrioh A. Iluppol, ounor of the opera "Trompeter of Saok injjen." In tho suit tho question of owncr fehip of tho American rights of tho opera is involved. Mr. Goldmark says that Bnppol, who does business in Leipzig, Germany, under the i name of J. Schubert A Co., is the owner of tlio piece. Ho claims that on Nov. I), 1880, ltuppcl sold to him tho oxclusivo right to produce, tho oporn in tho United States. Tho owner was to roceivo 3 por cent, of Iho gross receipts. On June 20, 1887, says Mr. Goldmark, the defendant committed a brcaoh of that con tract by entering into negotiations with Ldmnutl C. Stanton, director of tho Metro politan Opera-Uouse, for tho right to pro uuro tho opera. In tho contract he was to pet Uve per cent of tho gross rocoips. Stauton has produced tho opera at tho Metropolitan, and the gross receipts were $11,689.50. Mr. Goldmark claims to have been damaged to tlio extent of 231.79 for which sum ho claims.

JVom IA Titntitn CMaut IYm.'l The ghost festival la said to have originated In n legend of tho mother of a fabulous person, Mu llen. She waa about the wickedest person then In existence, there being no crime which sho left un committed. After her death sho appeared one night lo her son Mn-!ien with a' heavy wooden col lar around her neck, and sho harrowed his suu1 with the tale of her sufferings in tho lower regions. She said sho was enduring the reualty for her un numbered sins during her earthly life, and pleaded with her son to deliver her out of the hands of Pluto. This to hlra seemed an impossible taik, as no human being can enter tho dark regions and re turn alive. She told him tnat ho must become a Dudhlst priest, and that there was a door In a cer tain Uunhltt temple which he could open, and so lot out the prisoner from tho shades below. Tho son being filial, obeyed the behests of his mother and sought out a well-known Budhlst priest In a certain famous tcmplo and asked to he admitted as a novice. As his life was pure the prleat willingly admitted him. After having been there several months and learned all tho lludhlat prayers, ho sought out the dour that led to tho Lower Shades, whither the wicked ones had gone, and, renum bering his mother's Infractions, ho knocked open tho door. Tue Judge Pluto being always willing to release his victims upon the Intercession of saints, he has set all his prhoners free for a certain leiuth ot time every year beginning on the lMh ot tho sev enth montn, ever since the time when St, Mu-llcn knocked open the door. It hu become customary for the people through out the country, In the seventh moon of every year, to worship their ancestors, whoso spirits arc then at large, Tho annual festival has just taken place at the cemetery below Union lluu Culm. As one comes near tho Bite of tho celebration, he fln'is his way blockaded by Jinrickshas, carts, throngs of eager sigotaecrs, fruit stalls, Ac On approaching the entrance ot tho large bamboo structures, he discovers a portal with n long rec tangular lantern horizontally superposed, which being lighted at night, presents an attractive wel come tu the Usltur. On entering the bnlldlng, nud looking towards the right, one llnds a number nt antique war weapons displayed, such as pitch forks, pikes, shields, ruaty muskets, bamboo helmets, Ac These are placed thero with the tlow of quelling uny disturbance that might arise with the natives, as well as to give tnoro effect to the display, on tho left side there Is a row of .gilt-lettered tablets with different kinds of victuals placed beforo them, and largo dishes oi fruits piled up in sym metrical cone. Incense and candles aro also constantly burning, and to make tne scene moro striking, ihereare paper representations of lions, tigers, horses and other animals. On looking over head, the vlillor sees a number ot shelves sus pended from shove, containing groups of human tlgures made of clay, some ot which are really artUtloandlllelike. These groups usually repre sent well-known historical scenes, such as are gen erally played in Chinese iheuirea. Further on tho right la tne Chinese orchestra, which discoursed music day and night to tho pressing throngs tbut assemble to hear mem. This orchestra consists of two drums, ono large and one small, an Immense pair of cymbols, a gong, two pipes, and other kinds of fnstrntuents only known to tho Chinese. Opposite to tula orchestra are more tablets with the names of defunct individuals carved thereon, whose spirits aro now receiving tho offerings of taslr devout worshippers. About the centro ot the building there uro two gigantesquo figures resting on pedestals, one on each Bide, and about flfteou feet In height. These figures were specially mado In Canton and ablpped hero In plecei. At the oxtreme end ot tho building aro representations of tho different stages ot the CUlnese Hades. Hero all the various forms ot tor ment and suffering to which tho souls of the wicked are llablo are vividly represented by ap propriate Images, while tho stern kings of the Fau domonlum aro gloating with satisfaction over their agony. This part of the show soems to strike speolal terror and awe into tho Chinese, as It fore warns them of the fate to which thor aro liable, and the contemplation of which is anything but agree able to them. In the centre of this part ot tho bnlldlng are huug np large scrolls of silk with gilt letters embroidered on them, and beforo them Is placed an altar, with Incense urns, candlesticks, offerings of uctuaK fruits, wine, Ao. Tho space la fenced round with a rope ratling and within several priests are constantly reciting their incan tations. This placo Is also udorned with pots of beautiful flowere, trimmed and twisted Into grace ful forms with ChtncBO Ingenuity. The theatre, whlon la an adjunct to tho celebra tion, is an extemporized structure, built of bumboo matting, and distant from tho main building about loo yards. The paasage connecting tneae two structures is ltkowlse covered with bamboo raat tlng.and at night is brilliantly lighted. Facing the theatre and distant from It only a few rods is tho Tutelar Deity Temple, where tho pious Cantoneso are permitted to purify themselves by faailng. The theatrical performances aro after tne same char acter and style as those usually witnessed lit China, w lth the exception that, this being a solemn and scnil-rellglous occasion, the more flagrantly Inde cent plays are excluded. As tho performances aro tree to all comers, thousands of natives stand up hour after honr to Bee them, and among tho audi ence is found a good admixture of women. hejs are only provided for the families and friends ot tho more respectable Cantonese, in roughly con structed grand-stands. The celebration continued three days, and before daylight on the morning of tho 4th Inst. all the paper tmuges and figures erp burnt and the festivities concluded. NINA TAN ZANDTN0T AN HEIRESS.

Ono little fellow, about thirteen or fonrteeu years of age, the son of Dr. Simmons, who resides on the eastern suburbs, placed his tongoe to the pipe and held It there for some time. When ho tried to take It away it bad stuos, snd after three unsuccessful trials Mr. Harry Sloan came In, and by careful management succeeded In getting the tongue loose, but nut before it had frozen so badly that a small portion of the meat was left to the Iron.

TILE DISTniCT-ATTORNEY CONSENTS TO A $5,000 BOND ON APPEAL. Judge Lfirrrcncr Disposed to Keep Htm In Jll The llnbm Corpus Proceeding Withdrawn Thn Annrrhlst Pn riled by tho Oolnxs on In Court Followed to Ills Olllco by n Crowd of Mm Had Hoys. Counsellor William F. IIowo obtained from Judgo Donohuo ynstordny n writ of habeas corpus for llerr Johanu Most to bo returned beforo Judgo Lnwrcnco to-day in Supremo Court, Chambers. Tho purpose of Iho writ was to fix bnil for Most ponding tho appeal of his caso to the Geuoral Term. At 10.30 o'olock to-day, Officer Downey, of tho Tombs, took Most to tho big Court. Houso. Most was handcuffed to Charles Lenartski, a Pole, who 1b unfortunately claimed by two women ns husband, and is now tho subject of criminal proceedings for bigamy. Most didn't mind his companion, but Lonartzkl did mind being coupled to tho littlo 11 re-enter, and said so with indignant tones and scathing words. When tho "bracelets" woro removed in court tho Polo drew himself together and, taking himself as far away from tho littlo bomb-prcscriber as he could, haughtily ro ftisod to talk with reporters. Most whilod away tho timo beforo his enso was called by making a speech on American injustice. Finally Mr. Ilowo got tho oyo of tho Judgo who looks liko Henry Wottorsou, and moved for tho admission of Most to hail in S2.000, reading Judgo Cow ing's cortiflcato, which stated that thoro aro very reasonable doubts of tho propriety of tho conviction of Most on tho evidence. Mr. Howo stated that Most's bail was rjl.500 hoforo trial ond that tho District-Attornoy thought $2,000 enough now, in view of Judgo Cowang's cortiflcato. Assistant District-Attorney Pnrdy assented nnd added: It wouldn't bo a very great calamity to tho country if Most Bhould clear out and forfeit his bail." Judgo Lnwrenco van not pleased. Ho said so, and added emphatically, viciously chuck ing a legnl paper, which ho had just signod, at his clerk I don't consent. It is not, becnuso a con victod criminal has boon given a stay, a mat tor of right that ho should of course be admlttoa to bail. I must look at tho papors. I won't net now. Besides, tho written consent of tho DiBtrict-Attornoy is not here." For n moment Mr. IIowo was nonplused. Ho hurried out to obtain tho consent of District-Attornoy Martino, and soon returned with it and announced that fact trium phantly. Only the best ho rould do was to obtain tho agreement of Mr. Martino to 5,000 bail. Judge Lnwrenco was not yet satisfied to let Most go free, and said Now, I will ex amine tho papors." Mr. Howe did not pass them up. Ho sim ply erased tho writ order, and, thus withdrew tho matter from court. The fact was, that ns the District-Attornoy consented to bail, Judgo Lawrence's action was not needed. Most was walked back to the Tombs, dazed and unablo to understand how matters stood. In a couple of hours ho was callod out of tho Tombs again. MrB. Ida Hoffman, tho red-haired Anar chist of Seventh street, had presented her self at tho District-Attorney's offlco, accom panied by a tall, rather pretty young woman, who woro a capitalistic seal sacquo and a per fect love of a bonnet. Mrs. Hoffman wanted to be Most's surety. Sho Justified in 823,000, making affidavit to the ov, norship of that amount oi property. Judge Cowing was the judge who signod tho papers releasing Most, and then the 7 by 9 terror stalked out of tho court-room with an air of triumph. Ho received an ovation at tho Chambers street exit from two hundred boys and half ns many men nnd womon. Ho immediately bocarao the head of a procession, which nug niouted in size as it want. Most was ilauked on either side by a hire ling of the capitalistic press, and he harangued them as ho walked in a voico of a burst hollows. He said he would go straight to the office of his paper, Frethrit, nnd writo some editorials nud his eyes ilashod and glittered liko those of n captured coon. Tho 110 pound "destroyer of tho social fabric was ovidontly much tickled at tho no tico he was receiving from a curious public.

A Novel Telephone Conversation with n JHun Kutlrclr Denf. A Worm roportor was a party to a tele phone conversation at tho; Grand Central Depot this morning which was novel in tho oxtremo.

Mr. Waters had smiled ineohanically, and was making a search through his pockets with his hands. Ho's looking for his telephone," ex plained the sotto-voce. Mr. Wators Anally drew forth a bit of wood about as big as his two fingers and proffered it to tho reportor. Tho reporter took it mechanically, and his friend said "Lot Mr. Waters havo tho other end between his teeth." This was dono and it was found to form a perfect telephone. A long conversation about Mr. Waters's affliction ensuod, in which ho stated that hn had suffered with ccrehro-spinal-meninghitisfor several weeks, Iviug at tho point of dmth for many days. Ho ultimately astounded all tho doctors hv falsifying thoir predictions and getting veil. Hut ho had been perfectly deaf ever since, lly accident ho discovered that by pressing the fingers and thumb of one hand on tho back of the nock of a person speaking, ho could hear without much difficulty. This was followed by experiment, and the discovery of the dovioe of holding a bit of wood between his teeth followed.

From IA Chicago Mall.J When you want to seo tho pretty girls of New York ou the streets you tako a stand In front of tho Fifth Avenue Hotel. Tho girls know there is al ways a crowd thero to admire them. The ogling corner in Philadelphia Is Ilroad and Chestnut streets. In Ht. Iiula all along Fifth street, from Chestnut in Washington avenue, you can see the glances stealing out Iroiu the corners of the eyes, lloston flirtations aro carried nn along Common, w ealth a euue. The Louisville parade of beauty the finest ou earth Is a dreamy picture which stretches along Fourth street and Woodward ave nue. In Washington, of course, It Is Pennsylvania avenue. If a Washington girl should and herself off that thoroughfaro she would hare to call a po liceman. In Chicago you at once say Btate street. But is It 7 That used to be true, but Chicago spreads so rapidly that there Is no one thoroughfaro where fuir women congregate, no one corntr whero they wait. On the corner of Washington and Btate tdrcets, on a sunny day, you will get a pretty fair Idea of Chicago's beauties. Now move up on Wabash avenue where Adams atreet Intersects and you will be astonlBhed to see so many pretty faces and so much stylo. At the oorner of Claik and Washington streets you can pick out tho north side beauty, ner sister, hor mother and her aunt. In fact, I know ot no bettor argument In favor of Mr. Yerxea's system that the fact that so)few families on the north side disintegrate by death. Iu the summer time, when the crickets sing on the west side, yon can get a sort of holy feeling by wander ing along Ashland avenue. The beauties come out at twlilgnt, promenade under the great trees, loll about some family fountain, and then disappear. There Is a aort of Kuclld avenue-wc-are-the-aalt-of-the-earth manner on Athlaud avenuo that you won't nnd anywhere else In Chicago. Too l'naclnatlng by Fur. ITrom A. Jtnp (0a.) Amlfetl.)

Tho island is about an aoro iu extont. On its northeast shoro is sunk a largo tank, In which several tons of gun cotton is stored enough to blow all Halifax to eternal smash. No ono is allowed upon or In the vicinity of the island upon nny pretext what ever excopt thnt of duty. In tho midst of the snowstorm at 10 o'clock last night tho littlo daughter of tho sergeant in chargo thought sho overboard men talking. She went to tho door of hor quarters aud, standing upon tho gun-cotton tank, sho heard threo men talking. Sua called to thorn, but thoy took no notico of hor. Thon sho raisod an alarm. Somo soldiers wero called out and rushed towards tho tank. Tho soldiers wero somo littlo distance off, and hearing them coming, two of tho mon jumped into u boat, whoroupon tho third man shouted out: "Don't lcavo mo in tho lurch after doing your dirty work." Ho made a miring for tlio boat, got in, and they got thoir boat several yards from tho spot beforo tho soldiers reached tho tank. A mo ment later tho boat was hidden by tho falling snow. Tho soldiers being roused out of bod, hadn't thoir riilos with them, and conse quently could not bring the intruders to tonus. An alarm was immediately raised and tho information convoyed to Gen. Lord Alexan der ltussell and btalf. Gen. Itussoll ordered all tho wharves to bo guarded, nil vessels searched and doublo guards to patrol tho island all night. A special guard is also sta tioned at tho gun-cotton tank. It is believed thnt tho object of tho mon was to boro an auger holo through tho cover of tho gun-cotton tank and insert a fnso. If this hud been accomplished, not only George's Island, with its magnificent fortifi cations, but all tho ships iu tho harbor itnd two-thirds of Halifax Uurbor must havo been destroyed. It would havo been tho most tremendous and terrible oxplosion of modern times, whilo tho loss of lifo would havo been appalling. There is not tho slightest cluo to tho men who originated or attempted to carry out tho plot. Thoir plans had been carefully pre. pared and escapo was easy. Nor is thero any satisfactory explanation of tho motive for an attack which, if successful, surely meant death to hundreds of people and incalculable loss to proporty. Another thing that pcoplo horcabonts would like to luno uxpluiuod is how tho men even 'approached much less obtained a foothold on tho Island without attracting tho attention of the guard. It is dreadful to think of what might have happened but for the watohful uess of thd Sergeant's littlo daughter. Sho is tho heroine of the hour. Deaf mates nt a Jubilee.

Harris jJ-BB claimed toliavo in his possession a number m of incriminating letters written by Malley iSH to Blaucho Douglass, and demanded 10,000 Hvl as tho prico of silence. &EI Ho was nrrestod, spent several months in the Tombs and was discharged, Malloy do- sHflrl dining to prosocuto. vBll On Wednesday last Harris was taken from ISH the jail in Hartford to tho Superior Court of jAI that city to answer to an indictment for petit 3mM larceny. Tlio officer advanced to tho bench to an- SjM nounco that all tho prisoners were safe in tho H pen," when a noise startled cvorybody, and g$m 9 Harris was seen escaping over tho side of iMSl tho pen and through a window to tho 'SIb yard. A squad of ofllcors gavo pursuit, but Harris dodged his pursurors and escapod. That &H night lie arrived in this city. larl A telegram was sent to Inspector Byrnes, 1 who examined his gallery, found a picturo of 'fill Harris and his record, and instructed Sor- geaut Detectives Crowley and McGulro to YM!w bring him in. ',IHe The detectives visited the old haunts of tho VKH thief, found him in a famous resort for iH crooks in ltivington street, near tho Bowery, ;1VS and at 2 o'clock this morning he was safo in a i hM subterranean cell at Police Headquarters.

'xPaxal "That's all right, too," answered Harris.

Hfc An ounco of solid fact is worth mora than Hr? n whole pas-bag full of bttnoombn in con. K sideling tho effect of tho over-protection em. Hj bodied in tho prolonged war tariff. Hj As n fact, ten out of tho last twolvo years Hp of Republican rule, under tho "highest Bjf tariff in tho world," were years of business KV depression and labor troubles. RK There were novor so many bankruptcies, Wf sever so many strikes and lookouts, novor touch stagnation In business, nover so much sufforing and discontent among tho working K classes as during most of tho timo from 1873 B- to 1885. K Let tho tree bo judged by its fruits, and s. Bomoi of its superfluous suckers bo loppod H off. SfSfSK-t j, MOBE OF MOST.

Bk niont which ho gavo to John Most was not Bfc. due to any doubt as to the fairness of his Km' trial or the justice of tho penalty.

H It is right that tho privileges of all men Kj- should be equal beforo tho law.

How llttlo that clergyman knows of what constitutes moral teaching who denounces tho ploy of "Faust," as given by Henky InviNo and Ellen Temiy, as "foul in its morality." Tho truo dovllishnoss of Baton was never made so plain in any pulpit as it is in tho Mcphistopbolos of Goethe as portrayed by InviNo. Tho beauty and priceless valuo of vlrtuo, and tho torrlblo truth that, in moral transgressions, consequences aro un pitying," aro portrayed and rnforcod in tho impressive objcct-losson of Miss Tehiiy'h Margucrito as it Is simply impossible? for any sermon to prcsont them. Tho moral may bo incidental, but it is thoro. Tho llov. Mr. Wamien Bhould see tho ploy. THE AMOROUS OOAOHMAH, Tho exploit of several coachmen in marry, lng their employers' silly daughters inspired Auouhtub Jansen to try this easy road to fortune. Ho was handicapped by n red head, a frightful fiery mustacho and eyes that tried porpctuully to look each other out of coun tenance ovor tho bridge of his noso. But ho has tho masher's conceit, and that is proof against everything excopt tho remedy which his employer adopted n heavy boot-too, vigorously applied, evidence of his daughter's scorn, and an arrest and com mitment to jail as a nuisance This was hard linos for Jehu, but until ho con find somo young lady who is "bound and dotormiuod" to run off with him ho would better drop romance- nnd stick to his reins. Tho various organizations of womon nro profuso in their thonkB to Gov Hill for ap. pointing two of tho sex as Trustees of tho Htato Asylum at Buffalo aud nearly forty othors as Notaries Public Thoro is ono other selection of an unofficial nature within tho powor of tho Governor to make that would still further increaso his popularity with tho SOX. Compared with foreign rates, tho wages of "unprotected" Amorican workinginon nro relatively higher than aro tho wages of tho so-called "protoctod" olossos. Wages of all kinds have always boon higher in this country than in tho Old World, alike under low tariffs and high tariffs. It is the field and tho market that regnlato wages. Tho Princo of Wolos is importial in his patronage of American' lions aud lionesses.

Tho"Samuol J. Baudall Club," thoprin cipal Dcmocratio organization in Allegheny County. Pa., has unanimously indorsed President Cleveland's mossoge. This looks liko union upon a policy of statesmanship. Tho war tariff must bo pruned. Tho calling of a now preachorby Plymouth Church furnishes occasion to tho ono hyena in tho Amorican press to raise a yelp of dis. appointed but death-defying malice over his fresh desecration of tho gmo of Henby Wabd Beecueb. Tho war in express rates would bo a merrier one for tho publio If tho publiodid not know that it will have to pay tho cost after tho merry war is over.

It created a tremendous suc cess, and was being seen daily by crowds of peo ple. A plot was laid to cut the picture from tho frame, take tho canvas away and hold It In hope of a reward. Tho theft whs committed, but tho re ward was not forthcoming, aud consequently two of tho gang "peached" on the others, and as a result the palming waa returned In five days .from the time It was taken. It la said that sixty thou sand people saw It during the time It was on exhi bition. Miss Louise Dillon, who waa formerly Susan In "Held by the Enemy," made a great success in that character, nnd .Manager FroUin.m was afraid when ho gave her tho part of tho V.usar girl in "Tho Wife," nt tho Lyceum Theatre, that Miss Dillon would bo Suaanlsh. The young actress, however, has entirely dispelled any doubts aa to her versatility. Nothing more charming than her kittenish Impersonations ran be seen. Comedy actresses are becoming scarce, aud when Lotla and Magglo Mitchell retire they will be cuii scarcer. Miss Dillon has a promising future. WORLDLINCS. Lieut.

Ho meant so well, but his equal ns a pianist could have been found among the pupils of nlinost any tc.ieher In tho city. He was painfully mediocre.

William Henry Goodyear, curator of tho Dcpnrgncnt of Painting in tho Sletropolitnn Museum of Art, has modo somo very Import nut discoveries which will bo of tho greatest interest to nrt students nnd, connoisseurs. Tho official duties of Mr. Goodyear ond tho special studios ho has mndo iu ceramics among tho specimens of Cypriote property in the Museum, suggested to him on idea which further investigation has thoroughly substantiated. Mr. Goodyear has found that tho lotos flow or, whoso conventional transformations hnvo boon detected in tho decoration of tho Cypriote vases, is tho fundamental art motif iu many of tho conventional forms constantly occurring in Egyptian, Assyrian, and. what is still more interesting, in early Greek nrt. Tho Mycelial Eioch," which Dr. Hchlio mauu's Hellenic excavations havo brought Into prominence, is nlso characterized by tho Intos-flowcr development in its dccorotlvo features. Mr. Goodyear bIiows to demonstration that the graceful forrtiB which artists havo drawn from tho lotos flower recur in tho spiral ond concentric rings of tho earlier art of Greceo and aro tho basis of tho "geometric stylo," which Is so common in tho Cyprioto speci mens. Its connection is nlso shown with tho Egyptian Ankh, tho symbol of lifo, ond tho snered triauglo of Phieuicinu worship, tho crux avmta of tho Arsyrian sacred treo," tho cchnius moulding of Greek architecture, sometimes vulgarly known os tho "egg nnd dart moulding, and lastly, but exhibiting tho most important phase of nil, its relation to tho Ionic capital ond tho Grook onthmmion, which comprises most of tho palmetto and spiral motives of Greek nrchltocturo. Mr. Goodvo.ir's Investigations nnd their re suits cannot foil to arouse tho keenest atten tion from all who aro interested In tho nrchtrological. ethnological nud scientific sido of ort. To thoso who merely coro for tho nBthotio sido of art production it matters llttlo if beauty is due to the evolution of tho lotos.flowcr form or aro suggested by tho switching of her tail by tho domestic cot. Beauty is its own reward and justification and needs no credentials to them. WHERE MUSICIANS CONGREGATE. Tho Old Ilendqunrtcra More Attractive Than the New Exchnnse. Tho Now York Musical Exchango, which wns organized in March, 1880, for thopurposo of promoting ond fostering tho science of music os woll os furthering tho interests of its members, artistically, financially and socially," os its constitution declares, has not received that attention and patronage from tho musicians which it should hnvo. Tho Exchango has hnudsomoly arranged quarters nt 82 East Fourth Btreet, whero o bulletin is kept for members to post thoir cards of address, announcing tho instrument thoy play, ond wnethor disengaged, thus en abling nn applicant for musicians' services to seo ot a glanco who oro unemployed and giv ing him an opportunity of securing tho play ers that ho may desire. Musicians hove for years past congregated on tho sidownlk in front of tho saloons nnd halls surrounding tho Musical Mutual Union's headquarters nt 64 East Fourth stroot, between tho Bowery ond Second ave nue, aud it was tho design of the organizers of tho Exchango to furnish n better and moro convenient placo for the transaction of busi ness between the musicians and thoso who require their services. Tho rooms wero opened with a great flour ish, ond, as ono of the members said to-day, thoro is o big crowd whonovor n nice colla tion is sorvod." But the members still stick to tho old stamping ground nud tho clean nnd comfortablo rooms of the Exchango aro al most deserted. Thcro is a groat and unoxplalnnblo fascina tion about tho musicians' rendezvous in Fourth street. It is there that tho famous Aschnubrodol, tho musicians' club-house, tho Musical Union's rooms and numerous halls and saloons and restaurants aro lo cated. And tho idle or disengaged musician likes to loitor thcro, and tho cosy rooms n block west, occupied as an exchango, aro comparatively unsought-and. deserted.

With tho good sense ond acuta judgment displayed oil along, tha young pcoplo began to search l for a homo. A furnished flot in Twenty-third stroot was selected ond leased for a year. The best front roomu wcro let for enough to pay the l rent, when tho llttlo country woman, still but a girl in years, had managed to secure all tho room sho wanted, for tho cost of light i ond fuel. And sho had a home for her brother and Bister, whero both could g6 to i work, and to schooLns well. All hove joined soma evening classes and aro studying to im. prove their educations. Added to oil of this, another younger sister has been brought to tho home in the -city whero she can receive hotter training to pre pare herself for teaching. A roporter colled recently at the Twenty third street homo. It was nn evening when oil were together. Threo stout country girls, now hard to tell from the city maidens, ex cept by tho roses on thoir fresh cheeks, and a young man wore in the sitting-room seated around tho register or near the centre table in the room, which was neatly and comfort ably furnished. The girls wero at work on small pieces of bond-work sewing, while tho brother was reading aloud from Dickens. They come from a farm in the country, and all declare that they will work to pay tho debt off tho old placo. Every Sunday morning these three young girls, with their big brothor," so the neigh, bors say, go regularly to an uptown church and Sunday-school. Thus a country girl, poor and single handed, has come to New York and achieved Buccess. It has long been a favorite theme of public sneakers to toll of tho wonderful suc cesses ot country boys who have come to the city and won distinction. Now they have a now theme in the bravo and industrious working girl NEWS ABOUT THE ATHLETES. Balbo, the champion Cuban pool-player, arrived yesterday. Thero will be a promenade concert and a full dress ball at the Manhattan Athletlo Club on Jan. 9. The Manhattan will havo an artists.' loan exhlbU B Hon on Jan. 7, and an exhibition for clnb members 1 only on the evening of that date. I Arthur Chambers will spar with Patsy Sheppard Q at tho testimonial benefit to champion Jem Carney, 1 at Music Hall, Boston, on Dec 19. I Tho Pastlmo Athletic Club's boxing competition will be held on Jan. 87 at Pare pa Hall. It will In clude all the boxing weights and a 135-pound Test ling class. J. Eellett, or Omaha, scaling las pounds, won tho middle-weight boxing competition for the J'oltce Gazette medal and the championship of Nebraska. The finals wcro contcstedon Deo. 7. The Manhatton Athletic Club expect to have a sufficient membership by Fen. 1 to go into a new club house scheme. The Idea Is to have a racquet court In connection with the Fifth avenue man sion. Mr. C. C. Hughes, the Manhattan Athletlo Club's genial secretary, and champion E. O. carter agreed to "lctby-goncs be by-gones," and have shaken hands. This was at the road raoe the other night. Elmer Lee, of the Pastime Athletlo Clnb, who weighs 190 pounds stripped In good condition, wants to spar Mr. W. J. M. Barry, of the New York's, at Jack McMosters's benefit In Brooklyn on the 19th. It Is said the protest against Mr. O. T. Gilbert at the Seventh Regiment's games will undoubtedly bo sustained. Thla will make the Sixth Company, Instead o( the Second, a winner on points. On the new connt, with Gilbert out, tho Sixth Company's score will be 18 points to 10 points for tho Second Comnanv. The Dauntless Rowing Club has elected the fol lowing offlcers; President, J. 11. Redflcld; Vice Presidents, E. J. Grannml and Thro. IL Froeh llch; Treasurer, II. W. Walter; Secretary, E. H. Anderson; Captain, M. F. Connell; First Lien tenant, E. W. Knickerbocker; Second Lieutenant, Geo. Wlcsj Trustees, H. W. Walter, L. M. Edgar, Jno. 'J. Duff. At tho 'election of the Friendship Boat Clnb, held on Wednesday evening, the following officers wero electea: President, Wm. T. Lltson; Vice President, Lamont Mclaughlin; Treasurer, Benj. F. Meyer; Financial Secretary, Geo. U. Pasco; Recording Secretary, Oliver Hart; Commodore, Aimer Oaborn; Captain, Roht. Evans; Lieutenant, Frank English; Hoard ot Trustees, James Ryan, Wm. II. Sm'.tb, John W. Flncke, John Johnson and Wm. Meyer, Jr. An English gentleman, speaking ot the coming International oharaplonsnlp battle, said: "Jem Smith said to me Just before I sailed "I'll hold my head for him till he gets tired or knocks np his bauds then I'll go In and lick him." The English champion la supposed to be capable ot standing any number of sledgehammer hits. An even bet ou tho battle waa mado In the Hoffman last night and wary Edwards was made stakeholder. Billy Edwards, who fancies Smith, says; Charlio Mitchell told me Smith has a good left, but he liked KUraln best because Jake has two good haads." A Tho meeting of Pugilists Reagan and Dempsey at the follce Gazette offlco this afternoon to select the referee and battle-ground will draw a crowd of sports. Tho greatest efforts to keep the crowd off will be made, and It Is likely the battle will not come off on tie first attempt. Nearly all" the best fights of the past year or so have not been fought till one or more postponements bad oat the specta tors down very materially. Dempte and La Blanche had a fizzle before they had a fight, and the spectators who saw Files and Itesgan do battle sat up three whole nights for their fun. Thovoat- fionement though that waa on account ot tha po. ice of the Carney-Mitchell battle caused a pede ot disgusted sioo-apicco spectators,, k

Oh! it's n whole circus sometimes GUESTS WHO DOJiOT REGISTER. Why Home People Keep Secret Their Vlalts to New York. Among tho thousands who visit New York daily there are many who are not in tho least anxious thnt thoir presence shall bo known. Talks with the clerks of several of tho prom inent hotels show tho fact that many people of social nnd political prominenco como to Now York who aroCextremely desirous of re maining unknown sovo to the very fow with whom thoir immediato bnsinoss is to bo transacted. At ono hotel tho prim little man who looks after tho rooming of guests bristled up at the suggestion that any person over failed to reg ister thero or registered under an assumed name. The clerk of another hotel did not scruple to acknowledge that many prominent people failed to place their names upon tho register. In this instanco ttio unregistered guests were all society people who did not care to bo deluged with visiting-cards and be obliged to perform their wearisome duties to society while in tho city on a purely business errand. The demands of society, however, are as nothing compared with the impertinent in quiries of a political constituency, and that is perhaps nnd probably the reason why so many country legislators aro secret visitors to the metropolis. Do you have many guests who fall to register was asked of tho clerk of a cen trally located hotel. A great many." said the clerk. Thoy aro mostly politicians and particularly coun try politicians members uf tho Legislature. Their visits are usually inade during tho ses sions of that body andare especially frequent when some bill affecting New York interests is pending. You see an, announcement that Assemblyman Slocum Johnson, of Way back, is registered at Bedloe's Hotel,' at such a period would result in the propounding of puzzling conundrums in that honorable gen tleman's district."

Ho found himself in a long, low room, with 'great rafters running across tho ceiling, and with an old-fashioned fircplaco which burnt a big fire. The door opened and Violet entered. She looked more beautiful than e cr the color In her cheeks was bright and full. She camo up to tho Baronet with out stretched hands and ready smile but ho saw neither hands nor smile, and refused to take the chair sho pointed to. You won't sit down, Sir Edward Well, this is certainly no place for one used to such splendor as is doubtless to bo found at Laa cclles Place, but we should havo thought it comfortablo if not really elegant, out in tho bush shouldn't we?" sho said in a mocking voico that drove her visitor to desperation, and made him put a very strong guard over himself. How woudorful it is that wo should racot again nfter so many years of cruel separation! Y'ou really ought to bo ovorjoyed to seo mo, my dear husband. Indeed, I'm glad to seo you, you know. Well, and what hao you got to say to mo to-night?" Sir Edward stopped np to tho table and took from his pocket u leather case. His hands trembled very much, and his faco was porfectly rigid and pale; but there was a strange calmness in his voice when ho spoke. I havo got nothing to say to you, save this," he said In this case you will lind the sum I propose to allow you ovory year, rietisoto look at it and seo if it is right, and give me a receipt." Sho took tho case from his hand and counted tho notes that lay within it. A smile of grati iication passed across her face as sho put tho case in her breast. Generous as ever, Sir Edward." she said. "This will do very well cry well indeed. I will give you an acknowledgment. Woll, and when are ynu going to bo married to Be silentl" Haiti the baronet. You have said too much already. Itemember that the money I have given you is the price of your siieuco. Bo pleased, therefore, to keep that silence." Violet laughed. It was her own dry, con. temptuous, derisive laugh, and Sir Edward groaned inwardly as he heard it. All right, my dear husband," she said, I'll not pry into your little affairs. Hence, forth, save on the occasion of paying this lit tle morceau, we're dead to each other. See, hore'syour receipt, if you must call it by so busuicss-likoanamo.

Sho went up tho steps to tho station on tho down sidooftho track, and then sho said: "Oh, sugar I" and turned around and went down again. Sho forgot ono of tho children, who ambled along under tho window ledge of tho ticket ofllco nnd was checked in an artless desiro to promenado down tho car track by tho man at tho drop-box. By tho timo sho reached tho Ridowalk sho missed her offspring, nnd, with a shriek which drew a crowd, sho flow up tho stairs and across tho station and snatched tho in fant violently away from tho guard, as if he were personally responstblo for hor fright. Sho kissed tho baby and then sho slapped it nnd boro it awny wailing. When sho got acrobs tho street it was just 5.30, nnd sho struck the usual crowd of weary business men, who were all ready to break their necks to get tho first train uptown. They did not getit. Her shoe was untiod and half way up tho stairs sho seated tho children on ono step and put her foot up another and strengthened tho nurricado with tho bundle and the parasol. The men sw ore and pushed and struggled, but sho made a good bow-knot and tucked tho cuds in neatly before sho started on again. When Bho got to tho window of tho ticket office sho laid her bundles down on the sill and began to hunt for her purso. Shu went through all throe pockets of hor ulster bo foro me found it, and then sho opened it and fumbled through it and finally laid down a $10 bill. Cnu't chango that, madamol" You can't change $10?" Come, hurry up, pleaso." Well. I think you're real disobliging. I thought I had 10 cents hero, anywav." Tho train camo thundering into the .station and tho impatient crowd surged forward and a half dozen enterprising men slapped down their nickels, grabbed their tickets and got by over her head. Sho stopped to glaro after them beforo she hunted through the pocket of her dress skirt and brought out a httlo knitted silk purso, fastened togothor by two cunning little steel rings. Thero was a glimmer of coin through tho meshes of the silk, and a hopeful gleam lighted tho weary faco of tho man in the ticket ofllco and was reflected by tho waiting crowd. But those cunning little steel rings refused to part. They were caught in n thread of tho silk and sho pulled them and poked them and shook them and hammered them against the window ledce. Sho took out her hat-pin nnd tried to pick a knot out of tho Bilk and got red in tho face nnd looked around to seo, if anybody was laughing at her. She gavo ono last vicious tug, and then she said, plaintively Oh, dear I isn't this provoking? Don't you think you could chango that bill?"

"Thero!" sho shrieked, pouncing on it in triumph. I know I had 10 cents. I put It in my glovo to have it handy." Sho snatched hor tickets, left her bundles on the window, and pushed tho children along in front of her towards tho train. "Hero! Dron your tidkotsl" called tho guard as sho sailed by. And tho conductor ad to extricate the lace ruffle of her parasol from tho gato boforo she got safely aboard. Thero wcro no seats, and sho stood on a man's foot and hung from n strap with a weary, fainting expression, until somebody got up and offered her a seat. She hopped into It silently, and discovered a friend by her sido. "Why, my dear! What a relief to seo n friendly face. I have had tho most dreadful time trying to got this train.

He turned back slowly, and coming closo to her looked flxodly in her mocking faco for a moment. "You vilo crcaturo!" ho said, in low, clear tones, that told of long suppressed emotion. It would tako an eternity of flro to cleanso my hand if it touchod yours. Do you know how you havo blasted my lifo and nnothor life? Do you know what your wiles, you benutiful fiend, have done for mo?" Violet stepped back a pace or two and looked at him. "Sir Edward Lascelles, yon poor, pitiful fool 1" sho said; ask yourself what your own foolishness did foryou beforo you accuse mo. You inndo your own bed, now lio on it." He gavo ono docp groan, and hurried from tho room. Violot took up a book, wheeled tho most comfortablo chair sho could And towards tho fire, and sat down.

Sir Edward went from tho cottage, past tho inn, past the church whoro tho light still burned in tho vestry window, and so on through tho snow and tho wind till ho camo to tho park. It was as wild n winter night as ono could possibly find, and the snow lay in great drifts beneath tho trees and by the walls, but ho took no heed, and went straight to tho gato where ho had met Violot in the after noon. Thero he paused for ono moment, and looked at the lights in the houso boforo him. IIo stood but a moment, and then with something very liko a deep sob, ho plunged again into the snow. This timo his path lay through a thick shrubbery, which led round the lawn to tho side of tho house, till at last it terminated by the conservatory. He crept stealthily along when he got near the house, and at last screened himself be. hind a bush close to tho conservatory, in such a position that be could see all that went on within, and yet remain unobserved himself. Ho .stood for a little) while by tho scattered nil ovor tho place, and and," sud denly missing hor bundles, nnd my pack ages stolen, positivily snatohod right away from me."

Tbe reason for this la that tho pupil of the ejo la smaller In tbe daj-tlmc than at night, and hence tho two glass eyea are of different alzes,so as to correspond with the natural ere. Tho price of glass ejes is becoming cheaper on account of competition, and at tho same timo the quality Is better than hitherto. A common kIm cje inns be had for tin, but they nro not n good Imitation and do nut laat long, A first-class rye costa v, or even more. The best will not Inst over two years, because tho secretions In the hoi low of the ere roughen the gltss by chemical ac tion, and thla roughness Irritates the fleih. A g'ata eye, like false teeth, la taken out at night, lor It would not ne aafe to go to sleep with It In tho cav ity. It might drop out, and the slightest fall would break It. If a person could buy glass eyes at wholesale, by the gross, he could get them for about $J apiece. Hut ho wuuld hare to look over u Brent many be fore finding one to fit and to match his other eye In lrc, color and expression, disss ejea are ail nude abroad, principally In Oermanr aud Kntnrc, no factory having been awrted here, although there ts a great demand for them In this country. A glass eye la not madn after tho shape of a natural eye. because when the latter Is taken from the cavity the tissue Just back of It pusnta forward and leaves tint little apace. Tho false eye la, therefore, elllptleal In shape. The outer slue pre sence the natural form, but tne Inner aide ts nearly flat with rounded edges. It la allghtly larger than the natural eye, so that when Inserted 111 the cav ity It may not slip out. At first It irritates the eye lids nnd the tlaiue back of the caWty, but tho wearer grows accustomed to It and rinds It a rest and a protection. A skillful oculist can put a glass. cyo Into tho caWty so that very close observation la neeesnry to Detect It. Not only aro tho size and color of the natural eyo counterfeited, but even the general exprisilon. Ttiu oculist has yet to discover means of git Ing that sympathetic movement which dis tinguishes a pair of eyes. There la quite a largo number of people with glass eyes, say onn In 4iki.

The famous drop-curtain of Ihe Madison Square Theatre, made six years ago, was the first work executed by a group of women In New York, whoso subsequent efforts have placed on a firm founda tion what deicnesto be railed Ihe only distliio tlrely American School of Art In tho country. Home day the great American iiorct may materialize; some day we may have an American School of Painting or of .Music. Some day we may nut look to Europe for art culture m any lino. Meantime the Associated Artists of New York have estab lished a School of Kmbroldery, whose work Is as characteristic of Its timo and founded on aa en during art principles ua were tbe old Oohcllna tap estries. Tnt exhibition of American tapeatnes in progress for tbo past fortnight at the rooms of the society has demonstrated attain tbe fact that as beautiful drapery, upholstery and wall hanging fabrics aro being prooureiVIn tills country as are made In the world to-day. Mrs. Candace Wheeler la the head of the Society of Asso ciated Artists. She la a rlster of Mrs. Jeannette Thurber, of American opera tame, stid the mother of Dora Wheeler, on artht of exceptional powers, Mrs. Wheeler Is an exquisitely pretty woman, who looks quite aa much like her daugh ter's elder sister aa her mother, and has a thor oughly feminine charm. Sho la a woman of busi ness sense also, and the affairs of tbe society have been managed with skill and discretion. Hue baa pushed embroidery further and In a more Inde pendent direction than any other art in the country, hue been a very apostle to tench self-help to young women and has made considerable money withal, br her Inventions of new methods ln tapestry ana of artistic fabrics and dyes. Tbe Art of Lining the Face. IFrom Chambtri't Joumat, The art of "lining" tbe face to simulate the wrinkles of age la one very Imperfectly understood. Frequently doca the amateur performer draw a abyrlnthlnc mcabwork of tbln, dark lines, which only convey tho effect of a dirty face when seen npon the stage. The point to decide Is rather how few than how many wrinkles to mark upon tho face. A fow broad touches partaking more of the nature of shadows than of mere lines will often give u n effect which would be destroyed by any attempt at a more minute treatme' t. The lines ibonld be made with dark red, not black. An ordinary water-color cake and a small brush are the Implements needed. Tho natural wrinkles of the face will afford the beat gutdo to where the artlllclal ones are to be painted, although, of oourBe, they must be varied according to the character to be represented. For cxaiuplo, in marking the crows' feet "In the outer corners of the eyea a Jovial expression Is given by drawing tho lines downward and a terlous or mournful ex prrsilon by drawing them upward. It should lurthcr be borne ln mind that if the lnrht Is strong the lining will require to be strong ln proportion, but In performing by an Imperfect light tbe lining should be subdued oa much as possible.

It's another boy, and, by George, be bas got a pair of lungs I" windows; but at Inst ho turned away and passed on through tho shrubbery to tho lawn, and so to the park. When ho reached tho Httlo goto, he looked back longingly nt tho lighted windows. "Good-by, sweetheart good.by I" he said. "I can't make it out, Arabella. It's some thing that's perfectly Incomprehensible to me. I'vo thought it over for tho last three weeks or so and I can't make it out. It's porfoctly incomprehensible" Miss Spicer sat by the flro knitting. It was ovening, and she and Miss Arabella had been to evensong nnd got back again, and now thoy w'ero discussing somotning which they had not failed to discuss at any moment sinco the something happened. "Perfectly incomprehensible," repeated Miss Arabella. "I saw him," said Miss Spicer, in tones of chaste horror and maidenly resentment, "I nw him him, a clergyman, actually kiss that woman I" Pleaso, 'm," said Jano, pooping hor round face within tho door, there's Nancy Wood wantstoscoyon." "Nancy Wood!" cried Miss Spicer. "Goodness gracious, Arabella! It's witli Nancy Wood that that fcinnlo lodges. Show Nanov in, Jano, immediately So Jnno fetches Nancy in, and Nancy, with a clouded countenance sits down in tho presence of Miss Spicer and Miss Arabella Spicer, aud having heaved a deep sigh, pre. pares to bo interrogated. "Woll, Nancy," says Miss Spicer, in her most urbane manner," how aro you to.day Nancy sniffs, looks round tho room with much contempt, and shrugs her shoulders. I'm no better than I should bo, Miss Arrybella," she says, totally ignoring tho prcscucoof Miss Spicer; "thanks to you, niarm. all tho same. Poor folk don't havo no call to be in good health, especially with such a husband as I'vo got, and no luxuries, and forced to be teetotallers, whether or no." "Will you tako a glass of alo, Nancy?" says she. I shouldn't havo no objections. Miss Spicer and Miss Arrybella," answers Nancy. I alluc did say that your alo were better than any ln Elmsea: and I'm that faint with toilin' up the cliff that an odd glass'U do mo good." So Nancy ii supplied with alo and plum cako; and presently, when sho IB consider ably mollified, Miss Spicer begins the deli cate task of Interrogation. 0UK MONSTKIt POST-OFFICE.

Sho was telling him how, with hur father, she had left England and gone to India, where her father had died, aud how she had como back to England with enough money to live comfortably on, but with no friends no work to do.

In pre senting the ciio against tho prisoner the tounsel for tho prosecution summol up as follower "Howe was holding the batik, during a game of cards at the Clinrchlll Club, and tho prisoner lost tohlmxoco. As ho was unable to pay tuo money au arrangement was ma'le to meet at tho llodrga, In Itegent street for tho purposo ot settling. Howe accordingly went to the ltoutga on the Slst. There he found Graham. Snortly afterwards the prisoner entered and a conversation ensued be. twecn hi in and Howo as to the payment of the XtiOU The prisoner flatly refused to pay, saying that the claim could not be enforced In this coun try. 1 he prisoner and Graham then wont awuy 10 tbe Criterion bar. Howe, who had practically abandoned his claim to the 000, followed tbem to tho Criterion, where ho saw tho prisoner and other persona sitting at a tabid. Tho prisoner renewed the dlspti.c abont tho 000, using offensive and violent language and doing everything ho conld to force a qnarrel on Howe, who, however, Insisted that the matter between them should be forgotten. Graham called to Howo to come to the table where tno latter was drinking. The prisoner followed him to tho tablo and renewed the altercation about tbe 000. Ho roio up in bla seat, but Graham pushed him back, saying: "We don t want any row or fuss here. Thu superintendent of tho bar Intervened and eventually Graham and the prisoner left together to go to woburu 1 lace to dine. The servant while carrying In tho dinner nollied that tbe prisoner was sitting In a chair near the fl replace, while Graham was sitting In an other chair with his back to the window. HI10 did not hear the men exchange a single word, but she noticed that tho prisoner looked very strange, bho heard shortly allcrwards the report ol a pistol, aud Mrs, DoUcrty crying ln a tono of fright. Urn. Doherty flung open tho door and the girl heard some sounllng going on. Tho struggle then censed and thi.ro n sllonoe for four or live minutes. No alarm was given by Graham or the prisoner. Graham walkodslowly downstairs and Into the dining-room. Ho said that ha wus shot, and a doctor was scut for. The servant and tho page boy, irom their positions In tho hall, saw the prisoner leaning over tho ban nlstors looking Into tho hall and llsti-nlng. l'lvo or seven minutes' afterwards he walked slowly down stairs and went Into the dining-room. Directly ho saw the prisoner Graham said: It was an accl dent." Tbe prisoner said, "Yes, It wus," with out volunteering any assistance. The doctor arrived, aud aventnally Graham was conveyed to the University Hospital, iho counsel fur tho prosecution concluded by referring to the slnlo tnciits made by the deceased before he died, llu waa cousoloua until his death, and made no correc tion ln tho statrincnt, olthcr In substance or In languago. Joseph Howe, of New York, now residing In Marylebone road, deposed that he knew tho de ceased. He was a sportsman nud camo to tliU country hi Oitobct.
