A FATAL SHOCK.
Why
Mrs. Mostyn Fled from
London Dress-Maker.
Dinner was announced immediately
after Mrs. Washington Mostyn entered,
the drawing-room, and, indeed, it ap
peared that the party were only waiting
her arrival to put an end to the classic
bad (juartcr of an hour.
"My dear," whispered Lady Kendal,
"I am going to send you down with a
most charming young man, Algio I'p
ham, a cousin of the Duchess of Liver
pool; I think he's quite one of the
nicest men in London, and so artistic,
don't you know."'
Mrs. Mcstyn raised her tortoise-shell
lorgnette in the direction of the gentle
man indicated, and was pleased to make
an inspection and give an opinion in
not more than two seconds:
' C harmed, I am sure. What a good
looking young man. Ah, I see race
and intelligence'
"Ves, Loth. Ifut allow mo to intro
duce you," said Lady Kendal. In an
other minute or so the women were
trailing their silken and velvet skirts
down-stairs to the dining-room. Mrs.
Washington Mostyn belonged to the
-four hundred" cf New York, if not by
birth, at any rate by wealth. Her hus
band, who was content to pursue opera
tions in Wall strt-ot most of the year
round, was wont to leave tho cultiva
tion of society to his handsonio wift.
Their brown stone mansion on Fifth
avenue was as gorgeous as many of
their richer neighbors and no one un
derstood letter the art of 'booming" an
entertainment and getting herself
talked about than Mrs. Washington
Mostyn, of New York. And then, her
"cottage" at Newport, was it not cele
brated in every paper throughout the
I'-ngth and breadth of the continent? It
was there that she entertained lavishly
migratory members of the Knglish aris
tocracy in quest of amusement, wives or
ort, thereby forming connections
which she meant to push, vigorously
now that she had actually arrived in
Ijoudon. Had not Lord Lirkenhead,
the Duchess of Liverpool's eldest son,
been one of thes-e feted nnd flattered
youngsters? And ias not the dear
Duchess proportionately grateful, and
inclined to open the ducal arms In a
manner tli.it she was not wont to do
with certain dear friends and rivals
from New York ami Washington?
Hut Mrs. Washington Mos tj-n had
still one unsatisfied ambition, and that
v;is to become as much a Londoner as
her fair frinils and neighbors had con
trived to make themselves. To London,
of course, like every other self-respecting
American, she Lad been, but it was
with tho IajilUhi uf hotels, parks and
theaters only that she was familiar.
Into its society she had never pene
trated. And so it came to pass that
Mrs. Mostyn, leaving her husband to
perform his avocation of liear" in
Wall street, caused several enormous
trunks to be packed, and, arming her
self with ini ro tactions to some of the
host people in I.undon, betook herself,
her maid and her courier by the next
steamer to Liverpool landing on these
shores by the beginning t.f May. Lady
Kendal, who loved aliove all things a
new face, had been one of tho tlrst host
esses to make much of her.
It was rather an .amusing table,
though it somewhat shocked Mrs. Mos
tyn's fastidious sense of tho social pro
prieties. Looking round, she was struck
with tho familiar look of the faces, and
as a matter of fact she could have seen
most cf tho persons present by tiling a
walk tlovrn llond ctr'-et and glancing in
the photographers window s as he went
along.
LaJy Kendal's parties were celebrated
in their way, for she was what an
Irreverent modern journalist had not
inaptlv called a "mixer." She would
send down a famous poet w ith an Am
bassadress, a Cabinet Minister with a
un-t ty actress, or consign a great lady
to a fashionable singer. It was a social
salad, and people were pleased, once in
a w.iy. to meet celebrities of whom they
had heard a great deal. Now Mrs.
Mostyn. like others of the "four hun
dred," knew little, and approved less,
of "mixing." She would as soon liave
asked Li Sing, her Chinese laundry
man, te dinner as some of tho actors,
journalists and painters whom Lady
Kendal liked to see occasionally at her
table. To-nigbt, for instance, across
the banks of mauve and white orchids,
Mrs. Mostyn could catch tho profile of
her tiraeo of Liverpool, smiling on a
handsome Polish tenor who had turned
tho women's heads in half tho opera
houses in Europe; while opposite her
sat the celebrated biologist. Prof. Lyn
dall. who was apparently delighted
with bis neighbor, a little Virginian
beauty who had written some rather
erotic novels.
"Why couldn't Lady Kendal have told
trie what his lino is?' thought Mrs.
Mostyn, glancing at her partner as she
sealed herself in hor place. "I hate
talking to a man I know nothing about!
Sport art the tiaiety? What shall it
bo? I know polo! All Englishmen
play polo, or if they don't they like you
to think they do." .
ISut it was not, after all.'of polo that
Mr. Algernon L'phaui conversed. He
had a hundred amusing stories to tell
stories of tho theatrical world In Lon
lon, of great people in Vienna, of the
Ateliers in Paris-
"You paint, then?" asked Mrs. Mos
tyn, when the talk turned on tho last
subject.
"I used to," said Upham, modestly.
"I have almost given it up now; in fact,
I think it gave mo up. 1 6pent five de
lightful years working in tho Paris
studios, and at the end of that time I
came to the conclusion that I knew al
most nothing about it," -
"Ah, that is your modesty. I am sure
you do know all about it," replied tho
lady, sweetly; and thon there was a lit
tle pause, during which the young man
smiled and hesitated, as if ho were
alHut to say more. Mrs. Mostyn, feel
ing that she had unwittingly touched
on personal matters, adroitly turned tho
talk into another channel. Tho Amer
ican was charmed with her neighbor.
Ho was not only young, handsome and
amusing, but he seemed fno slight vir
tue in tho eyes of Mrs. Mostyn) to bo
connected with various smart and im
posing Knglisb families. With the en
terprise of her sex and nation, she de
termined to annex Algie. "What a
charming young n.an,sho thought, "to
take to the play, to squire one in tho
park, and to hand cups of tea on one's
at-home day!"
He had such nerfi-ct
taste,
when
ana such an eye for color, for
thO talk, as it Sonietiinna ulll
turned
cbiifons. Mrs. Mostyn was
" - Ailvei-tisin Itntos.
IS A FREEMAN WHOM THE TTJCTH
'HE
EBENSBURG, PA.,
astonished to bear her neighbor give an
almost subtly feminine opinion on some
point in dispute.
"Why, I believe you know more about
it than I do," declared the lady, laugh
ing. "Well. I ought to, I suppose."
Mrs. Mostyn was so mystified that,
for a perceptible instant, she found ab
solutely nothing to say. He evidently
imagined that she knew all about him.
With the tact of her sex. -Mrs. Mostyn
promptly turned tho talk into generali
ties again, determining to ask her host
ess all aliout her fascinating neighbor
as soon as the ladies reached the drawing-room.
Hut tho Fates were against her.
Lady Kendal was monopolized by an
elderly matron, who never let go her
hostess till the men appeared from the
dining-room, and when they did so it
was Algio I'pham who slipped into the
vacant chair by Mrs. Mostyn's side.
This was a maneuver that is not in the
naturo of a woman to withstand.
-Come and dino with mo on Friday
night," she said, when she at last rose
to go; "100 Lowndes square, eight
o'clock. Don't say you can't; one or two
nice people are coming."
"I shall bo more than charmed," re
plied the young man, bending, in his
pretty half-foreign way, over the lady's
liand; "but you'll come to my place one
day, won't you? Lady Kendal is com
ing to-morrow."
"Why, yes: I think I could go to-morrow."
said Mrs. Mostyn, and so the
thing was settled.
On the following day Mrs. Washing
ton Mostyn, who had put on her most
gorgeous attire not having been long
enough in London to know that here
women do not bedeck themselves in the
afternoon tripped down to her little
coupe and directed the man to drivo to
Lady Kendal's, thoroughly pleased with
herself and the world in general. She
was going to see the charming young
man of the night before, and the charm
ing young man was going to dine with
her on Friday. Moreover, tho had on
her most becoming bonnet.
The two ladies chatted cosily as the
carriago bowled along.
"I'm so glad you could come, said
Lady Kendal; "I'm sure you'll think
his taste perfect. Ho has such lovely
things."
"Lovely things?" inquired Mrs. Mos
tyn, with rising enthusiasm. She was
ono of those women who like their
heroes of tho moment to ho set, as it
were, in a framework of luxury.
"Yes; brocades sucn as you can't get
for love or money. He has them special
ly manufactured from his own designs."
"lie must by very rich," said the
Til f r i i-:i n "Thaf'c tli tnrt uf tliinff aiip
.
) millionaires do at home."
"Well, Algie must make three or four
thousand a year, I should think," re
joined Lady Kendal, thoughtfully.
"You see, he's so well connected. All
tho smartest women in London go to
Algie."
If Mrs. Mostyn wondered for an in
stant how ttio society of smart women
justified such reckless extravagance,
she said nothing, having a horror of ap
learing ignorant of London or the ways
of Ixvndon.
"You got on capitally," continued
Lady Kendal; "Algio is so fond of
Americans. You see, they don't mind
what they spend."
"NoV said Mrs. Mostyn. who was
now thoroughly mystified; and just
then the carriage drew up it a smart
looking bouso in a Mayfair street a
Uouxj all painted while, with yellow
silk curtains and blinds and daisies
and spiraea in the window-boxes.
Tho door was opened by a man
servant in livery, and tho ladies were
shown upstairs into a largo room like a
studio. The walls were of golden
leather, with draperies and curtains of
dull gold silk, and hero and there a
touch of turquoise-blue or faint pink in
wrought with gold added another note
to the harmonious picture, in which the
white wood mantel-piece, the soft Per
sian carpet and the exquisite old mezzo
tints on the walls each played their
parL One or two C hippendale cabinets
displayed specimens of rare Nankin,
tho easy-chairs and lounges invited you
to chat, and on every table and in every
nook stood (lowers and palms.
His master was engaged for the mo
ment, tho man announced, but would
be with the ladies in a few minutes.
"What a perfectly charming studio!"
cried Mrs. Mostyn, peering round in
her pretty, short-sighted way: "only I
don't see any canvases or the usual
artistic mess."
"Canvases why should there be, my
dear?"
"Well, bat isn't Mr. Upham an art
ist?" "Artist!" cried Lady Kendal, "what an
idea! Why, don't you know? 1 thought
everybody knew Mr. Upham is the
fashionable dross-maker. His profes
sional name is 'Eugene,' but we all call
him Algie. Why, I'm going to try on
my new Court bodice directly, and the
dear loy will tell mo exactly what's the
matter with it."
For a moment Mr. Mostyn's head al
most reeled. Sho hardly knew if she
gave a scream, or if she moved instinct
ively to the belt. Where was tho door?
Whero was hercarriajfe?
Whether her murmured excuses con
veyed any notion to Lady Kendal it is
difficult to say, for in another moment
fche had slipped down-stairs.
A drossmakerl Her charming young
man a man with whom she had already
had almost a flirtation was a dress
maker. It was preposterous itwas im
possible. Why, tbero were a dozen
odius journalists who were capable of
tolling the whole story in the American
papers; and, as Mrs. Mostyn threw her
solf into her coupe, sho fairly groaned
as sho remembered that she had herself
insisted on tho presenceof this impostor
at her first smart dinner in London.

FRIDAY. APRIL 24, 1S91.
TJIF J.r&SIAX VRMV I
Nearly Five Million Men Armed
for Battle.
F.'uropean Nations Watrliinc; Their Mil
itary Maneuver I'reu IKita Concern,
ins the Tactic and Aruutiurut of
the Cireat Army.
The recent gigantic maneuvers of the
Russian army on the western lounlary
have directed anew the attention of nil
Europe to the great Eastern colossus.
The endurance, willingness and iron
discipline of the one hundred anil fifty
thousand soldiers who met at Rowno.
the capacity of the officers to handle
great bodies tf troops easily, and espe
cially the morale of V.th oflieers and
men were so conspicuously displayed
that all Austria and Oerinany have l-en
doing a pood deal of hard thinking and
exhaustive writing concerning; the Rus
sian army ever since.
Tlie exact size of the Russian army in
Europe on a war footing, says the Chi
cago Times is rather problematical.
The active army is estimated by the
lest (lerman authorities to contain one
hundred and ninety-two infantry and
fifty-eight cavalry regiments fifty-one
brigades of field artillery, and one hun
dred and forty-fire Cossack regiments:
the reserve troops, one hundred and
five infantry regiments; the mili
tia, two hundred and one infantry regi
ments The garrisons include twenty
four infantry regiments ami fifty-one
and a half artillery battalions. All
these, together with the batteries
sharpshooters sappers, miner?, etc.,
swell the gTand total to four million
five hundred thousand men. Tlie Eu
ropean Russian army has five hun
dred thousand horses and about
four thousand guns Tlie cost of
this establishment last year was
reckoned in Russian paper currency,
sisii.Oi)O.(KK). That meant a tax of almut
;s.0l n every man, woman and child
in European Russia. Sin-e lsTt Russia
has had tho universal obligation to
service. Tlie time of service in the
standing army is five years; in the
reserves which nre in camp twelve
weeks every year, thirteen years: in the
militia. tifl the soldier's f-rtv-thinl
year. The baying of substitutes or
exemption is not allowed.
The infantry is armed with breech
loaders. I Servian II. model "?-J. with a
caliber of 1U.CT centimeters and a ball
weighing about an ounce. The field
artillery lias puns f 10.07 centimeters
caliln-r for heavy work and others of
s." centimeters cuIIIkt for light and
mounted artillery. These latter throw
grenades anil shrapnels The maxi
mum range of the 10.07 calitx-r is .Y:UK)
meters and of the s.7calilHT;.nK) meters
for grenades. Tlie range of tbe shrap
nel is lift ween :'.:M0 and :s.7."(l meters.
What kind of men stand ln-hind these
arms? Tlie opinions of all who have
seen any of the more recent Russian
maneuvers are uniform. The Russian
aoldier, they say, is the most willing,
oliedient und robust in the world. He
can lire contentedly from what a
Frenchman or ierman would starve on.
He can march tremendous distances
without losing his pluck und under the
moot trying hardships needs only a
word from his superior to make him
forget all his troubles and rally to any
effort. A lerman officer, who after his
recent return from Russia published his
observations in the Cologne Oazette,
says:
"The maneuvers showed that the
Russian army is made up of men and
horses that are equal to all exertions
and nil demands of the mtxh-m battlc
rieliL Heavily built, thoroughly disci
plined, content with little food, and
loyal alxvve all others the Russian sol

Tlie strcnuousrif ss and the aim of
Russia's exertions to bring her array to
its present stute of efficiency and avail
ability at a moment's notice are lest
illustrated by her railway policy of late
years.
The energy of the Russian Govern
ment in the construction of military
railways during the last decude has
lieen truly wonderful," says Max Liinan
in the Illustrirte Zeitung. "Still, the
distances to be overcome were so tre
mendous that the meshes of her iron
net are at least twice as great as those
in Germany and France. The railway
construction in Russia in the last few
years has lxM-n pushed most rapidly on
the western oundary, so that a quick
attack in Germany and Austria might
le rendered possible. The Government
was forced to do this by the Panslavs.
This party has its advocates in high
military places and through them has
spread its ideas throughout the army.
"It deserves mention, too, that the
Russian forces are being steadily shifted
to the western boundary. Sixty per
cent, of all the troops and even three
quarters of the whole cavalry are at
present -in - the military departments
Warsaw, Wilna, Kiew and Odessa, and
almost the entire army is garrisoned
along the lines of the stategical rail
ways. During the last year sixty -two
battalions fifty-eight squadrons and
sixteen batteries have been transferred
to the western departments. Thereby
the standing Russian army has been in
creased by fifteen thousand men tin the
German torder and by thirty-five thou
sand men on the Austro-IIungarian
frontier."
A MARINE INVENTION.
It I. Fxre-tel to tiive Warnlns; When
Shallow Water I. at Hand.
A new sounding apparatus has leen
invented in England for w hich several
advantages are claimed. The machine,
says the Albany Argus is intended to
serve not only as a reliable means of
sounding, but also as a submarine
sentry, giving warning when any par
ticular depth of tvakr Ls reached. The
apparatus comprises a winch with in
dicators, etc., and a wooden sinker, the
latter being the essence of the inven
tion. Practically this sinker is a wooden
kite reversed, and is so adjusted in
weight and shape that it sinks when
towed tlirough water, and always re
mains at any given depth, without any
regard to the change of speed of the ship.
The depth being arranged at that which
will be perfectly safe, whenever bottom
is reached at that depth the machine
may be so arranged as to automatically
sound a steam whistle or lell or give
notice to the pilot in some other way
that the ship is approaching dangerous
water. The invention, it is said, has
lieen subjected to prolonged tests and
proven to be perfectly practical and reliable.

Constantinople's lepers, j
The Care of the Altlictrd a Itl-crace to
Any -vilUeil Nation.
Miss Kate Marsdcn. the Ene-lisH
woman who is studying the manifesta
tions of leprosy with the intention of
devoting her life to the care of tho-w
afflicted with the disease, has reached
Constantinople. In writing home, says
the Chicago Post, she says she had an
idea that in this city of unused palaces
one or the other of tlu-ra might have
leen turned into a bright hospital for
the lepers where, tended by kind, well
trained nurses, they might fiud such
mitigation of their sufferings as skill and
gentleness could bestow; but one after
the other of these palaces were left lie
hind and she knew that idea must be
given up. Away through the crowded
streets they drove and made no halt un
til they reached a large ope n space out
wide the city; but if she expected to
find the lepers stowed away here she
was mistaken. The guide took a boat,
and after a long row they landed on a
cold, dreary -looking spot; here again
they took carriage and drove toward a
phice which in the distance looked like
a forest of cypress trees and yet no.
Tlie white stones just distinguishable
made her think it must 1 inhabited;
but, as the carriage drew nearer, she
saw that they were not houses as she
imagined, but hundreds and thousands
of graves packed as eh sely as it was
possible to 1m', even in Turkey, with the
tall, dark, gloomy cypress trees planted
every few yards apart. She asked the
guide why the cypress trees were
planted there so thickly: his answer
was "Iiecanse, madam, it helps to kill
the stench from the graves."
She drove a long way into the forest
of the dead and the cypress until all
view of the sea was pone and she found
herself shut in. Yet she was not alone,
for here in the very midst dwell the
poor, outcast lepers, driven here by the
Government. The guide was simply
horriiied when he discovered Miss Kate
Marsden's intention of p ing in among
them all; he absolutely refused to go a
step nearer.
As she stood within the leper house
she was dumb with astonishment that
any nation, however barbarous could
in the face of civilization subject any
portion of its people to such a misera
ble condition. No sun sheds its health
ful rays there, and the chill which
struck her as she remained'within the
house gave her an idea of what the
lepers must suffer. She said she did so
long to tell them how she sympathized
with them and how gladly she would
take their burden from them; how she
hoped and prayed in her heart that no
where in the world were the poor lepers
treated as here in the paradise among
cities Constantinople.
There is a ray of light here, however,
and that is the good dot-tor, who is doing
every thing in his power to induce the
Sultan to proviile properly for them,
and he is devoted to their cause; but in
such a country and with such people he
is almost powerless. His name is Pascha
Zambaeo; he is a very kind man. and
the misery of the lepers weighs heavily
upon him.
The wind came howling through the
gloomy trees ami blew m siiarp blasts
throutrh the door, and some of the poor
lepers standing outside leaning upon
the graves shuddered and drew closer
round their miserable ljodies the rags
which helped to cover them, but which
were quite unfit to keep out the cold
even from people in health, much less
from those suffering from such a disease
as leprosy. Miss Marsden says that
what she saw is really too awful to de
scribe, but it has taught her the neces
sity of seeing for herself the condition
of the lepers if she Ls to lie of the
slightest use to them in the future. A
she left them they sang "The I-pers
Song" such : dismal wail! but which
was truly in keeping with their condi
tion. It made her shiver; indeed, her
whole being quivered with agony at the
sight of such awful depths of misery.

About I ad; it I-tter.
Very few people know the origin of
the latest wrinkle in photo-friiphy." re
marked a leading phototTapiier the
other night to a Chicago Mail man.
"What is the latest wrinkle? Why. the
double photograplL of course. There is
nothing really new alnt it. for then
are many years back of it. but it seems
to le a popular fad just now."
"What is the double photograph?" Is ii
a photograxh of two persons. .r a com
posite affair?"
"It is neither. It is n single ph.it o
praph showing two views of the same
person a prolile and a front view. Ik.iIi
taken by the same negative. Ditfieiilt?
Oh. no: not at nil. It is a very simple
matter. The person to I- photographed
is placed Wsideu mirror, and the camera
records the image in the g lass n- well sis
Uie conntcrf it presentment of tlie sit
ter. In this way two views are ol
tained. If the sitter is so placed us to
secure a profile picture, tin- image in
the glass shows a front vi.-w. ::nd vie
versa. It is a pretty scheme, and seems
likely to lieconie as popular as it is
pretty.
"Rut, as I remarked, few people. I 1k
lieve. know where th" double photo
graph originated. It is a 1'ien. h i lea,
and comes to us from the rogues' gallery
of the Department of Police of Paris. It
is not always an easy matter to i.l--ntify
a person from a single photograph.
In the first place all pictures are more
or less unnatural, the sitter often is
'made up' for the occasion, and his pln
tograph does not show him as he ap
pears in real life. Then. t. a profile
picture gives only a very misty notion
of the actual front-view apvarance in
real life, and vi.-e versa. This point-of-viow
difference is greater than would
be imagined by those who have not in
vestigated the mbject. I have fre
quently shown two photographs of the
same sitter, giving a protlle and a front
view, and those who have looked at
them casually have not discovered that
they were not pictures' of two individ
uals 'The Paris police were first to simpli
fy the matter of identification through
the introduction of the 'double photo
graph.' Hut, from an artistic stand
point, their method is too valuable to
be limited to the rogues" gallery, nnd it
has already obtained a firm foothold
throughout Europe, and has innd.' its
appearance here. With a pood mirror
the reflection makes a fine, clear-cut
photograph, and its advantages are ot
vious. With a front view how can
beauty show her coiffure? r her
arched eyebrows and daintily-curled
bangs in a profile view?
-Am- other new tl-.in-es? Weil, ye--:
there is always something new evoii
ping out in our line of buvi.i' ss. i'-.r it
is rarely any thing in which the pi.!. la
is interested. The fact is, a great many
things which you newspaper men say
oecur in photograph studios 1 have
never seen at all. For instance. I was
surprised a few months ago to learn
from the papers that high society young
ladies were flocking into the studios
rnd galleries to lie photographed in
ti;rl'.ts. and to have their feet and
ankles, their hands, their arms, necks
and shoulders photographed for the
benefit of their own particularly ex
clusive circle of relatives or acquaint
ances. Perhaps that story was true.
I don't say it was a canard; but I do
say that 1 don't lielieve a word of it.
'Of course it is a common 1 1 dug for a
wom:m with whom nature has dealt
kindly to modestly display her persona!
charms to the camera, and I think such
a course entirely pardonable; but I
have never heard of such a wholesale
anatomical exhibition of society odds
and ends as tl.e newspapers deserilH-d.
"I had an experience the other day
which has interested me more than any
thing of a similar nature which lias
happened to me in all my business ex
perience. A young lady who moves in
the best society brought me three
letters, and I photographed them f ot
her and at her request destroyed the
negatives. The letters were the most
teuderand ardent love missives imagin
able. They were addressed to the lady
herself, ami w re signed by a name
which I am sure you would recognize
instantly were I to mention it. I will
confess that curiosity got tiie l-eti.-r of
my judgment, and 1 lin.il iy said:
" 'You'll pardon me. but this job is a
little unusual isn't it?'
"'Is it?' she said, smilingly.
"'It strikes me so,' 1 replied. I
don't see why you want photographs ,,f
those letters since you have the letters
themselves'
" 'Don't you? Well. I do. Suppose the
letters were lost or burned, or destroyed
in some other way?'
" 'Wouldn't the photographs be de
stroyed as easily as the letters?'
" "Perhaps not; especially if they
were not kept in the same place with
the letters Hut I'm not afraid of losing
them by fire or in any such way as
that. The fact Ls the ink is fading
out, and in a short time it is likely to
W illegible."

Electrician, platinum was to lc had for

months ago the price was under i".
Apart from the question of a possible
"corner" and the ever-increasing de
mand for platinum for electrical pur
poses, this 100 per cent, rise in price
within eighteen months may le at

creased cost of production at the mines

owners of these, mines, owing to their

platinum comparatively cheap; the
gold, however, is now lecomiiig scarce,
and hence the platinum, which is still
plentiful, can no longer le sold at so
low a figure. Ilatinum, besides leiug
