PEOPLE. WHO DISAPPEAB HUNDREDS- MYSTERIOUSLY DROP OUTOFSIQHT YEARLY IN CHICACO. > Many a Weird Talo Hidden Away In tlu Keconls of Strange Disappearance! Kept by the Police—A Kemarkablt / Case Unraveled by a MLnd-Ueader. Many a queer tale, more weird and Interesting tlian any penned by writers of fiction, is bidden away in tbe records of mysterious disappear ances kept by the Chicago Police De partment. Between three hundred and four hundred men and women drop out of sight every year in this city—disappear as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed them. What becomes of these people is a mystery few detectives care to at tempt to explain. Foul play is the explanation advanced by their rela tives in nine cases out of ten, murder by footpads being the customary plea, but in few instances are the facts such s to justify this conclusion. Wholesale killings for plunder eould not go on year after year with out detection. Sooner or later the bodies of some of the alleged victims would turn up, or stolen valuables would be found in that market for all thieves, the pawnshop. It is because of lack of developments of this kind that officers experienced in criminal matters scout the idea of foul play. But people keep on disappearing at an liarming rate, and the natural quos tion is, What beaomes of them? They are not embezzlers or others who have known canseforliidingthem lelves. If the reports received at Po lice Headquarters are accurate, nearly ill of these missing people nre indi riduals free from financial or domes tic troubles, and, to all outward ap pearances, happily situated in life. "Men do queer things at times," laid former Captain Elliott, in dis missing this subject, "and of all their freaks that of mysteriously disappear ing is the oddest. Sometimes they really become insane and actually lose iheir identity, but as a rule those who iisappear are not afllicted mentally, j in nearly every instance where a man >f sound mind disappears, and no murder has been committed, close in restigation will disclose the fact that ie has some real or fancied cause for jetting out of the way. Wives are ilways positive their husbands love (hem, but I have known instances in which men who to nil outward ap pearanoes were devoted husbands vere really weary of life with their con jugal mates, and quietly 'disappeared' In order to get rid of them. "Men sometimes become annoyed be muse their business affairs are not in good shape and seek relief in volun tary retirement. Others, again, are imbued with love of adventure and tfter spending years in quiet domestic surroundings, suddenly become im bued with an unconquerable desire to see other phases of life. It is possible lad even probable that some of the people reported as missing fall victims vo footpads, but the number is small. Crimes of this kiud are easily detected, ind while tho perpetrators may not be saught in every instance, the identity af the victim and the fact of killing ire pretty sure to be quickly established. "One of the queerest cases of my iterious disappearance with which the Chicago Police Department has hnd to ileal is that of John W. Matthews, who quietly dropped out of sight in this eity last November and has never been iieurd from. An unusually vigorous search was made for Matthews because be was an intimate friend of Captain Campbell, secretary of the Depart ment, and the latter interested himself In seeing that the hunt was a thor ough me, Matthews lived in Mon mouth, 111., and was n man of con liderable wealth. He came to Chicago ibout the middle of November, wear ing a new suit of clothes and with (700 in cash. Here ho met and talked with several friends, all of whom afterward remarked that he was in line health and spirits. Two days later Matthews was missing and no trace of him wits to be found. "The police were baffled, when a mind-reader gave them a clew which led to Btrange disclosures. This per lon and Matthews had been suddenly taken insaue in Chicago and had gone to a hotel iu Madison street, near Clark street, where he registered under his proper name, but in an un lecipherable running hand, and had been assigned to a room on the fourth floor. Before bedtime, however, he had taken a car and gone to the lake near Jackson Park, where he drowned himself. Shortly after this, the mind reader said, the body was washed ashore in the Calumet region, where it was found by a fisherman, who ap propriated the money and valuables, and then to save himself trouble buried the remains iu the sand. "Matthews's signature was found on the hotel register, and he had been assigned to a fourth-floor room, which he had not occupied. Search atonj) the southern lake front revealed a spot identical with that given by the mind reader as the place where Matthews had jumped into the water, and in tk< Calumet country the officers found tin fisherman they were after. There, also, it was easy to make out the mind reader's picture of the copse-marked beach where the body had been cast up. As the fisherman stoutly denied having found such a body, however, and no evidence could be had against him, the matter was dropped."— Chicago Tribune. Paying For One's Own Arret* Lake City, Fla., has set out to make the dancer pay the fiddler in a novel way. The town has appointed a single night watchman and decreed that he ■hall be paid at the rate of $2.50 for eaoh arrest made, the prisoner to fur nish the money. - WISE WORDS.

Tlio Similarity of Oxen. An ambitious young lawyer paid his first visit to a country court holding its session not very far from New Or leans not long since. He went to represent a big railroad in a suit brought by a countryman to recover the value of an ox which departed this life in a vain attempt to hold up the limited mail. The question before the court was one of identification; and the countrymau had testified thnt he knew the ox by his color and the flesh marks. The young lawyer rose and with dignity .said: "If Your Honor please, there can be no question that this witness has sworn falsely when he testified that an ox can be recog nized by his color. I was a stenog rapher before I became n lawyer, and for two days, Your Honor (drawing out his notebook), I have taken a de tailed description of every ox that Jiassed the hotel, and I am prepared lo swear as an expert that nil oxen look alike to me." Your nre trifling with the dignity of this court, sir!" sternly said the Judge, "and I will fine " "Hold on, Judge." said the clerk, "there hain't been but one yoke of oxen iu this town in a week. Old Man Henley's been a-haulin' wood and the lawyer's been counting the same oxen over and over." "Judg ment for the plaintiff," said the Judge, and the city lawyer, glad to escape the wrath of His Honor, took his depar ture, n sader but wiser man. —New Orleans Times-Democrat. Otl-l Facts About New York'i School Army. The school army of New York, num bering 400,000 young Americans, would make 400 regiments of tho American Guards—allowing the girls to enroll—each regiment numbering 1000, an army equal to forty full bri gades of ten regiments. The length of stride of the average school boy is two feet six inches. Drawn ujt in the single line, the last boy in the line would be up the State 200 miles, somewhere in the vicinity of Syracuse. Marching in platoons of sixteen, close order, practically filling Broad way from curb to curb, the column, when ready to move, would be twelve miles long, extending from the City Hall up Broadway to Fordham. To carry the comparison further, what a monster of a schoolboy this army of 400,000 would make. Assum ing an average weight of fifty pounds eaoh, all the schoolboys made into one would produce a giant of 20,000,000 pounds weight. As four feet six inches is an average schoolboy's height, this Greater New York boy would be 340 feet tall, his girth at the top of his knickerbockers a mere trifle af 180 feet, and the length of his feet sixty feet.—New York Journal. Object to the Study of Physiology* Christian Scientists in Racine, Wis., object to the teaching of physiology iu the publio schools, on the ground that physiology is a study in the science of life, and that in case their children were taken sick, it would prevent, in a large measure, their recovery. , Women In the Presbyterian Church* A recommendation has gone before the Presbyterian Board to the effect that women bo forbidden the use of pulpits for public addresses to mixed audiences, and that it be considered improper to give notices of such meet ings from tho pulpit. Women, how ever, are still to be permitted to give publio testimony for the benefit and in the presence of the privileged sex. Feathers in Women's Uats. What a comment on woman is this item! Frank M. Chapman, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, has compiled a list of the birds which he saw on the hats of women in this city during two after noons. Forty species were represent ed, including thrushes, warblers, shrikes, fly-catchers, tanagers, swal lows, waxwings, grosbeaks, sparrows, orioles, woodpeckers, jays, owls, grouse, doves, quails, shore birds, herons, gulls, terns, and grebes. In all he saw 173 wild birds, or parts of them on hats. Of these birds at least thirty-two varieties are protected by law during all or a major portion of the year. A Boston court has de cided that it is unlawful to wear feath ers of a bird that is protected by law, and a similar law is proposed in New York. —Popular Science. Improved Sewing machines. Anything that is in the nature of an improvement, especially from a by gienio point of view, upon the exist ing sewing machines will be welcomed as a boon to our population, so many of whom have to labor nt these ma chines many hours each day. Accord ing to a recent report, such an im provement is announced. The old treadle, with its up and down movement of the entire limb, and wearying, cramping strain directly upon the muscles of the calf and front of the thigh, and indirectly upon the lumbar region, is to be abolished, and its place taken by a hanging platform, swinging pendulum ! fashion. Upon this the foot rests easily and is swung backward and for ward, the momentum being furnished by the weight of the foot alone, in stead of by that of the entire limb as before. The thigh remains almost motionless, and the economy both of effort and discomfort is most decided. Either foot can be used alternately, or both together, thus giving relief from the monotony of the constant move ment.—The Ledger. Would You Grow Plump, Madame? Eat for breakfast oatmeal swimming in cream. Drink not tea or ooffee, but cocoa, chocolate and milk. Spurn toast, especially if it be made of graham or gluten bread. Eat freshly made wheat bread with butter and honey. Eat fruit for your breakfast, but not the tart grape and the tarter grape fruit. Eat baked apples with plenty of sugar and cream, and all sorts of stewed fruits, which require sweeten ing. Eat meats with fat on them. Eat fish with white sauces. Eat potatoes, cornstarch, simple puddings and ice creams. Drink milk and cream whenever yon happen to want them. If you don't care for these nourishing drinks, culti vate a taste for them. Avoid lemon ade, lime juice and the like. Wear warm, luxurious clothing, but be careful not to have it so warm as to induce perspiration, for that will prove thinning. Do not let it be too heavy, either. Do not take more exercise than is absolutely essential to health. Take the air—yes. But let it be in a car riage whenever you can, or on a sunny bench in the park. Violent exercise is the worst possible thing for the woman who would fain grow plump. Ijj) Don't worry. Don't lie awake at night to think of your shortcomings and other people's sins. Don't care violently for any one. Hearts and consciences ore foes to rounded contours and shapely necks. New York Journal. The Art of Darning. The proper darning of n rent in cloth is an art that, can not be easily picked up and should be taught to girls as an essential part of their practical home training. The expert darner of woolen cloth will make a rent practically in visible by weaving together torn edges, matching them as carefully as possi ble, and afterward pressing the rent. A fine sewiug silk is used to darn woolen cloth in preference to any wool, which would not be strong enough unless the thread or raveling was too coarse. Where the cloth is thick enough, endeavor to conceal the silk thread between the free and back of the cloth. Begin about half an inch from the edge of one side of the tear, and run the needle the same distance from the other edge, concealing the thread cnrefully and drawing the edges closely together, but not so that they overlap. If there is any nap on the cloth, brush it back while you are darning and then brush it down again. Lay a damp cotton cloth on the wrong side of the cloth, sver the darn, and' press it down once, then remove the cotton cloth and press next the woolen surface, being careful that you do not press it perfectly dry, but that a very little steam arises after the iron is se inoved. If the cloth is pressed per fectly dry the work of the iron will be ihown on the right side. A piece of cloth is usually darned with vertical and diagonal stitches, running with the threads of the cloth. The "up and-down" threadis usually the strong est way of mending a bias darn. Use no piece of cloth under the darning unless the material darned is thin. In that case a piece of silk of the same color is less clumsy as a backing to darn the wool, unless the wool is sheer.—New York Commercial Adver tiser. Gossip. The Woman's Law Class at the University of New York has been largely increased. The Queen of Belgium milked a cow at a farmhouse recently, because the old woman in charge was paralyzed, and the Queen was thirsty. Mme. Diaz, wife of the Mexican President, has founded a home whore girls can always find employment, a nursery where children of working women are cared for, and a Magdalen home for repentant sinners. Tho. venerable English actress, Mrs. Keeley, whose ninetieth birthday was publicly celebrated at the Lyceum Theatre on November 22, 1895, still enjoys general good health. She resides in Pelham Crescent, Bromp ton, where she has lived for over half a century. The amateur photographer who lias not a ruby lamp for use in the develop ing room or closet may envelop the bulb of an electric light with a red bag shade, with tho same result as to workmanship, an entire freedom from smoke and also a much stronger and steadier light. Miss Estelle Peel has been success ful as Superintendent of Public In struction in Wyoming. She has charge of the leasing and selling of all the school lands, and, under her adminis tration, the income of the State from this source has grown from SIOO to SIOOO a week. Mrs. Annie Abbott, the "electrical woman wonder" of Georgia, has had her fourteen-year-old son arrested in Columbia, S. 0., for stealing some of the gems presented to her by the royalties of Europe. She fainted like |an ordinary woman when she con fronted her boy in court the other dny. There are special costumes for al most every sort of amusement nowa days, but bowling has apparently been neglected. That is a fault easily remedied, however. A pretty girl who belongs to a suburban bowling club attends its meetings whenever the weather will permit on her bicycle. "And it is so much easier to play in short skirts," she says. California has added many to the list of renowned women, but not al ways with such wholesomely famous names as those of the Klumpke sisters. There are four of them —Dorothea, who is one of the chief workers of the Paris Observatory; Anna, a portrait painter in Boston; Augusta, a physi cian (in Paris, and Julia, one of tho most brilliant pupils of Ysaye, the violinist. Mrs. J. L. Brandt, wife of the Rev. Mr. Brandt, pastor of the Christian Church|at Valparaiso, Ind., owner of a cradle known to be 108 years old. It was brought to Indiana at an early day, and Mordecai Hardesty, the first white child born in Indianapolis, an uncle of Mrs. Brandt, was rocked therein. Altogether forty native Hoosiers have been rocked in the cradle, and it is still doing service in Mrs. Brandt's home. Fashion Notes. For older women there are some very stunning combinations in net and lace. Belts of fancy ribbon are passed once or twice about the waist-line and tied in short loops and ends at tho left side, using two and one-fourth to three yards of plain or fancy striped ribbon, two to four inches wide. Miroir velvet, gay ribbons, flowers and foliage are manipulated skillfully in the decoration of both velvet and felt hats. Jet and steel ornaments follow in size and device the rhine stone and gilt novelties so highly fa vored. Gloves in cherry red, salmon pink and bright blue are out—in the shops. They are not to be seen in prodigious numbers. Thero are not many women who care to have such an air of busi ness about them as to be taken for dyers' apprentices. Polished oopper for largo pieces of bric-a-brac, such as lamp standards, candelabra, urns and so on, is more satisfactory for general use in the home than much wrought iron, which is rather funereal in appearance, un less it is very discreetly disposed. A half-worn light silk waist may be very satisfactorily refurbished by striping it crosswise with black velvet ribbon, putting velvet ribbon around the plain collar band as previously de scribed, and adding a new chemisette neck of lace and a velvet belt. In Faris'-firf is being slightly gath ered into deep frills and flounces and placed on the hems of heavy winter gowns, cloth capes and wraps. The effect is novei and pleasing. Ot ter, beaver and gray astrakhan are are among the fashionable furs, nd grebe is also being much us6d, though it has been out of favor for several years. A CAME SHE KNOWS.

An advertisement has appeared in | ' tome of the daily papers, in which a j cash payment has been offered for un- I f canceled printed postal cards. This was all that was stated, and as it seem- I ed to be out of the general run of ad | vertisements, a call was made on the advertiser to tind out the object of this ! offer. It seems that many business houses j have occasion to have a large number | of postal cards printed, to advertise some special line of goods or for the | use of some traveling man. For some ! reason or other the conditions may | change, so that perhaps only half of the I cards are used. Being printed, they i caunot be used in any other way, and ! i the result is that in nine cases out of | | ten they are consigned to the waste i i basket, as the Government does not re- I | deem uncanceled postul cards as It does | ! stamp<xi envelopes. I A process has been discovered by | which all of the printed matter may be ; I removed from the card, leaving it in ! the same condition as when bought at | the postoffice. A charge of V 6 cent per j card is made for tills work, or in other j j words, a man sends 500 cards to be : "made over." The man who does the j work charges $2.50 for his services, j and the customer saves $2.50, as the printed cards were of 110 use to him. j The process by which this work is ac complished is not patented, as the in- : j ventor is fearful that after the ingre dients become known, some one else I may change them enough to escape an j infringement, but at the same time ob tain the same result. The solution is made at niglit, after the factory hands have gone home, and is given them the j next daj* to use. The scheme lias been in operation for six months only, but the inventor has letters from all parts of the country from promiueut busi- 1 ness houses, that have taken advantage I of this offer to save 50 cents on the dol lar, and he feels sure he has got a busi- I ness that, after it has become known, j will prove a good paying investment.— j Boston Transcript..
