Frances ScbAeder, a captivating young creature who recently tlew the track and abandoned her borne, Is among the latest acquisitions to the woman'! ward in the city jad. Her mother, a Mrs. llertne, having lodged complaint against her, Marshal Young took to the road and after scouring Ogdnn for several hours unearthed her in a house of ill fame, where she had sought an ark of refuge. The keeper swore by all that was holy that ihe bad done nothing more than to lake the waiff otT the cataracti that ware about to engulf her and was foster-ing her through nothing more than motives of charity. The mother of the girl declares her incorrigible aud in turu the girl says she would rather spend an eternity in prison walls than to live under the roof she has aban-doned. Frances was arrested once be-fore and was snatched from the thresh-old of the reform school only through the pleadings of her mother. She at home only forty-eigh- t hours, however, and then disappeared in tbe giddy whirl again. She will be taken before Judge Lausy for examination.

Taking to his heels he was soon lost among the pe-destrians but was overtaken by the otlicers, convicted and sentenced to 400 days in the county jail, I'ollea ricking- A carzo of tin horns has left the city within the past few days and hos-tilities having begun there will be no cessation until the haunts have been cleaned up. The increase in the "secret service" of the department has enabled Marshal Young to cover the Held very thoroughly and a general raid will take place at the sigual from the scouts. It meets with hearty approval from sport-ing men who lind the tiu horns a con-stant tax on their charities. The cases of William Lawrence and William Cornell upon charges of were set for this afternoon be-fore Judge Laney. It is claimed by the defense that Lawrence has a clean case in his favor as he was just through work when the strong arm of an otlicer entwined him. James Lawrence, who was arrested for trespass, put himself on the mercy of the court and seutence was sus-pended. The class in inebriety was conspicu-ous by its absence.

Skinner, in 16T1, has "Kelter; he is not yet in kelter, nondum est puratus." It is also Riven in a reprint of Ray's collec-tion of 1091. The k before i point to a Scandinavian origin. Cf. Dan. kilte, to truss, tuck up, whence E. kilt. Kietz gives Swed. dial,, kilter band, a bwul for holding np tucked up clothe; kiltrv sig, to gird up, tuck up, and fasten. The metaphor is obvious enough. This word kelter, as it should be spelled, is given in Johnson's Dictionary, and derived from the Danish kelter, to gird. A quotation is jri"'1 from Fur-row's works, where the word is nseu. Bailey in his Etymological Dictionary derives it from the Liitin cultura. Hali-we- ("Dictionary of Arch.iic aud Pro-vincial Words") gives it as useJ in the east of England both as a substantive and as a verb. It is a word of every-da- y nse in Surrey and Sussex, in the sense of order or condition. Tho Kev. W. D Parish, in his "Dictionary of the Sussex Dialect," notices it in the phrase, "This farm seems in very good 'kelter.'" 1 have often hoard it usud in the stime way, and anything that is out of condi-tion is dcribed as being "out o' kelter." On refereuce to ii;e publications of the English Dialect society it will be seen thut the word is of very general use throughout England. In the neighbor-hood of Whitby it occurs as u verb and a substantive, and in the mid and east Vnrlrulit-- a rilar. if ia naiul alun t in west Cornwall, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. In west Somerset, in Sheffield and in Iluddersfield the word means money. These references will be suffi-cient to show that the expression is not an Americanism, but that the word has found, and still finds, aplaco in vernacu-lar English. Notes and Queries.

Purkes, one of the most celebrated surgeons in America, died recently at bis home in Chicago. He was a victim of the grip, from which pneumonia developed and carried him off after a few days' sickness. He left a widow and two children, who were in Europe when he died. Mrs. Parkes is a niece of General Palmer, the newly elect-ed senator for Illinois. Dr. Parkes was born at Troy, N. Y., Au. 19. 112. His father, who was an i. moved with his family to Ciiicnjro in 1800. Charles was educated at tho University of Michigan ut Ann Arbor, from which be gradu-ated shortly after the outbreak of the civil war. Ho enlisted as a pri-vate in nn Illinois and was promoted to "R- - charles Muma. a captaincy for gallant conduct on the field. After the close of the war he went to Chicago and studied medicine and surgery, graduating from Rush Medical college iu 1S67. From 1S68 to 1ST3 he was demonstrator of anatomy at that institution. In 1885 and 1S88 ha was president of the Chicago Medical college, nud held the chair of surgery at Rush college ut the time of his death. As a surgeon Dr. Parkes had few equals on the American continent. His nerves were like steel, his judgment ac-curate and prompt, and he was invaria bly successful in operations of the most difficult character. A wealthy woman of California paid him a fee of $25,000 for performing a heroic operation. Dr. Parkes was an enthusiast in his profes- - ( sion. His summer vacations were spent in European hospitals studying inid-icat- e surgical cases. He was a broad minded, charitable man, whose skill was as freely j at, the disposal of those who were unable i to pay commensurate fees as the wealthy j who rewarded him with princely sums. ' A Caernl Article. 'Why, bow odd this had never been thought of before!" said a visitor at a woman's exchange of the city. She had In her band a pretty knitted article, which was a baby's bottle cozy. For railway travel or to go out with Miss liaby in her own little carriage they are of great service in keeping the milk warm, and also, as they are knitted double, to offer protection against break-age. Soruo padded ones were also seen, but are not so serviceable as the knit-ted ones, as they do not fit so closely to the bottle. New York Times. A ltooa for Bachelors. Tim advantages of a pocket that has no sewed seams and cannot rip and that is neat and smooth in the garment are such as will be appreciated by every mascnlino reader. Such a pocket is the invention of an ingenious Yankee, who calls his device a safety seamless pocket The pt.fuliarity of these pockets is that they are woven complete in one piece. No siiti-hin- or sewing is necessary to make them ready for use, but they are turned out by the loom in the exact form in which they are rea aired for trousers. . The Mai one t at lha rostotnea. Some time ago Sir ItoLjimild Barnwell, an English baronet, visiting this couu-tr- y, directed his correspondents to send his mail to tho general delivery at Balti-more. Reaching Baltimore, he went to tho postolTice aud inquired of the clerk at tho general delivery window if there was any mail for Sir Heinald Barnwell. After looking over the' letters in the box marked "B" the clerk told him there was none. He returned the next day, and still the next, but always received a negativo response to his inquiry for letters, lie thought this very strange, as he knew his correspondents must have written, and that his mail should have reached Baltimore even before he got here himself. All this he explained to the clerk, but the looked for letter was not giveu him, Finally, one day nfter his nsual in-quiry had been made with the usual re-sult, he said to the clerk, "If lam not too ofHcioua, might I ask to be allowed to look over these letters?" They were handed him, and as lie ran over them he kept throwing Home aside mail he had a pile of twenty or twenty-fiv- e beside him. He then gave the package back to the clerk and commenced berating that for bis carelessness in forcing him to come to the ollice four or five day successively for mail that had been waiting there more than a week. The clerk then asked to see the letters Sir Jieginald had taken out. They were handed him, and on each 1 read "Sir Reginald Barnwell, Bart." "Why. sir," he said, "these are not your letters: they belong to Kir Reginald Barnwell Bart, while you asked for the letters of Sir Reginald Barnwell." The baronet took bis let ters, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. Baltimore Sun. Solid Fungus. What its discoverer declared to Vie a new kind of mineral was received by the department of agriculture the other day all the way from California. Professor Galloway examined it, and told a report-er that it was merely a fungus of a very peculiar kind which grows in California and sveral other states uj far east as Michigan, being developed upon tho trunks of pine trees. Tho specimen men-tioned weighed about three pounds and was very solid, being conijiosed almost entirely of resin. This material, for the purpose of its own support, the parasite causes the tree to secrete in unusual quantities. Wherever the fungus flour-ishes it is believed by the country people to be an excellent substitute for qninine, and is used by them as a remedy for chills and fever. Washington Star. Much Ado About a Cent. The smallest deposit ever made in this city was that of Postmaster Jewett, who recently placed one cent to a special ac-count of a Comanche county postmaster in the Vichita National bank, who in his quarterly settlement last fall was found short this amount. The depart-ment will be duly notified of the credit made. The second assistant postmaster general will notify the auditor of the treasury, and in turn will demand a from the treasurer of the United States at New York, who will send this receipt in triplicate to the postmaster general, the treasurer of the United States and the Comanche county post-master. Great is the circumlocution office! Wiciiita Eagle, llarun Fava's Previous Sensation. It has long been a standing joke among the diplomats that it was well nigh impos-sible to even catch Baron Fava at his apartments. Outside his door is always hanging a little sign,- "Out," and very few ever seemed to have had the good fortune to call when it was reversed to re-i- "In," if it ever did "In." On the night that ho failed to appear at Mr. Wanamaker's dinner there were a good many telephone mcsacj sent around by some of the other foreigners who were present to endeavor to remind him in time of the engagement. None succeeded in roaching him until very late, and when the answer came it cre-ated some consternation. The person who repeated the iues.sag) from the Wanamalccr telephone announced that "Mr. Fava was dying at home." After the message was repeated again several times it was discovered that, far from any such dreadful state of affairs, th baron was only "dining" at hoine. Boston Journal. |
