Aa Anecdote of Brignoli.
Though one of tlio most nervous singers
that ever went before an audience, Brignoli
in hia way was one of the most conscien
tious. He refuged to aing if he did not feel
that hia voice was in atondftion to do Jus
tice to the aong and to himself. He waa a
firm believer in homcepolhy, and waa never
without two email rials, ooe containing
bryooia and the other spongia. which he
used alternately. Hia body servant, Bar
bagelata, usually administered the drug. .
On on occasion it happened that Barba
Kelata gave him a larger quantity of bryo
oia than he had asked for; but, like the
faithful aervant that he waa, he informed
hia master of the mistake. Brignoli was
furious. He thought he was a dead man.
He raved and stormed and awore aa only he
could swear. Barbagelata, thinking to re-
lieve his mind, swallowed the entire con
tents of the phial '
"Vou see, Signor Brignoli, there is no
harm in the medicine, " he said. " ' - 1
"Ah, my God!" cried Brignoli, forgetting
his own danger at ooce, "yon are a dead
man. What have yon done?" it . t ;
All the doctors ia the neighborhood were
sent for and all had to testify that the drug
waa harmless before BrignoU would believe
that Barbagelata could survive. New York

great copper tank with a steam jacket.
While it is being heated, sugar is added,
and the mixture ia then drawn off into a
vacuum tank, where evaporation is pro

hold perhaps 8,000 quarts. . It has a glass

A WASHINGTON SCANDAL.
Senator Stewart Objects to Joining Oolonal
Breckinrtla-a In Covontry,
The venerable Senator William SC. Stew
art of Nevada is the lates shining mark
in public life for the shafts of social (can
dal, bus the senator object to joining Colo
nel Breckinridge in Coventry and re
plies vigorously to hi accusers. One would
think that (Senator Stewart is oia enougn
and dignified enough to escape the wiles
of designing women, but If the senator
version of the oeso be true he is the victim
of a conspiracy as deliberate and heartless
as that which Uublttered feimon Cam
eron's old age or the lawsuit that gave
Ben Hill such unpleasant notoriety short
lv before he retired from the senate.
The case against Senator Stewart, briefly
put, is just this: Charles U. ulassoocic.
resident of Washington of uncertain ante
cedents and ratberdublous reputation, has
brought suit for divorce- from bis wife,
naming Stewart as corespondent. Glass
cock charges the Nevada senator with
alienating his wife's affections and admits
that It would take a good many pieces of
the senator's silver to heal his wounds and
repair his honor.
Senator Stewart denounce the whole
affair as a conspiracy to extort blackmail.
He says: "My first meeting with this
woman was when she came to me with
pitiful tale about ber poverty and asked
for money. She said that she was without
fuel at her borne, while ber children were
suffering from the cold. I pitied her and
gave her 15. Later she sent her little girl
to me with a note saying that two of her
children were ill with typhoid fever, and
she had no money with which to bay them
medicine. I gave the little girt some mon
ey lor her,
"From time to time the besought me to
aid ber, always telling me some pitiful
tale of suffering and distress. Finally
received a note from ber which I thought
threatening in tone, and I paid no atten
tion to it. - She called at the capitol to see
me, and I told her that I regarded her
note as threatening, and that if she want
ed any more charity she would have to ap
ply to Mrs. Stewart for it. From that
time on I received similar letters from the
woman, and these letters are on file at the
courthouse with the papers in the case and
In due time will be made public. They
will ahow the woman's true character.
She wrote me that I had more to lose
than she had and said that in view of the
exposures in the Breckinridge case the peo
ple would not believe any denials.
"I have had this woman's character
hunted up. She came to my office time
and time again and tried to get in the
room with me while ber husband
waiting below. She brought her little
girl with her. The plan was for her to
force her way into the room, have the lit:

tie girl go down and tell her father, then
to nave him rash up and make a scene,
But she didn't succeed in her plan, though
sue tried time and again."
The senator savs Glasscock and his wife
have been living together ever since the
papers In the case were served, and that
the petition for a divorce is only a blind.
In rebuttal of tbe senator s denial Mrs.
Glasscock tells a story of how Mr. Stewart
"drugged ber with some malaria medi
cine" and accomplished her rain. Here
is a part of her story:
For some years my husband has been
unable to support me and the family.. He
has gone down steadily through drink un
til when we came to Washington from
North Carolina three years ago he was un
able to do much of anything. It was a
matter of getting bread and butter for our
little ones, and I determined to find a po
sition if I could. A man whose name I
shall not mention now said to me that
Senator Stewart would possibly helo me.
I went to tbe senator, with tbe result that
be forces me to be untrue torn husband.
Now, I am practically convinced that this
man, although he professed later to be an
enemy of Senator Stewart's, sent me to bim
to oblige tbe senator. I have been told
that there are men here who hang around
tne capitol making a business of just such
things, it has been hinted to me that Sen'
a tor Stewart saw me around there and
sent tblslellow to get me to come to him.
I should like to prove it, but cannot now.
'I cannot begin to tell you now fond
and affectionate Mr. Stewart was toward
me. He. has gone down on his knees ret
peatodly and declared, even sworn, that he
would stand by me whatever might hap
pen; that he kived me better indeed than
any other' woman on earth, and that he
wanted to protect me. I say to you now,
solemnly as though I were about to die,
that the mad secured such a hold on my
heart that I Would have left my husband
for him at any time gladly, though I
would not leave my children.
, "Mr. Stewart was very liberal with me
as to money, and I do not believe he gave
Mrs. Stewart more means than be placed
at my disposal. I cannot prove these things,
of course, for they are not susceptible of
proor. it is my word against bis."
' Perhaps the whole truth will bebroueht
out When the case conies to trial, and per
haps not. In the meantime it is safe to
presume that Senator Stewart will be very
circumspect in dispensing charity to wom
en in distress. William Morris Stewnrt
is 67 Tears -old, is very wealthy and hu
ferved 19 years In the senate.

LUCILLE.
Dr. Harrisse, like most men, was fond
of a pretty face, and when he caught ont
glimpse of Lucille's aa the wind blew her
veil aside on the homeward trip of the
Malta be wished he was her cousin or
the stout ship surgeon who dared offer
her hia arm for a promenade. There) was
something almost familiar in the face
too. Where had he met herf At what
german or reception, in the salons of the
best society or in the wards of some hos
pital? Or was it only a trick of imagina
tion? Had he waltzed with her at some
seaside hop or taken her ont at some
state dinner or wedding breakfast?
Dr. Harrisse was a bold man in his
way. The few days on the Malta had
hong like lead on his hands, there being
but a handful of cabin passengers, and
many of those without their sea legs. He
waa a man quick to think, bnt somewhat
forgetful His eyes met Lucille's. A
smile of recognition illumined her face.
He bowed confidently and advanced to
ward her. , '
- "I am happy to meet yon again," he
said nnblnshingly. "Perhaps yon find it
as dull aboard as I do?"
"If you are at your wits end for
amusement, as I am, I'm sorry for you,"
she said. "My poor annt has not been
able so far to lift her head from the pil
low." . ,.?,,,. s, , ,.,,.
"Who the douce do I know with tbe
appendage of an aunt?" Harrisse men
tally considered. "However, it doesnt
signify if she ia only amusing and the
aunt is not an ogre." "
The ship s surgeon. Dr. Johns, con
sulted his watch, v ,
"IH be obliged to deliver yon to ths
tender mercies of Dr. Harrisse, Miss
Lindsay." he said as he hurried away.
"You see I am lame still." she pres
ently remarked.
"Is it possible?" he returned, feeling
as if he was groping in the dark. Had
one of his acquaintances suffered an ac
cident which had escaped his memory?
She took it for granted that he waa fa
miliar with the circumstances. A mis
step might expose him. "Bnt doubtless
it will wear off in time," he hazarded.
"I fear not. Yon don't realize that the
accident happened six years ago. I used
it too soon. I must ride, yon know, at
that time or die. It was weak, and I
got another fall and broke it again.'
"I am sincerely sorry to hear it," said
Dr. Harrisse.
Was it possible that he had known this
blooming creature six years and had neg
lected to cultivate her? Now ha won Id

I ve no doubt." ,
"I can paint yon a picture that will
not be half bad. Have I not need my
opportunities - v ;
I would to heaven I had used mine
half so well." -'' - - .
And then tbe interesting subject was
allowed to drop. ; .
Bnt Lucille and Dr. Harrisse had
thousand other things to discuss. - He
delighted in a woman who dared to dis
agree with him. They found that they
had just missed each other at Inter-
lachen; that he had only been prevented
by a chance from joining the party with
which she had made the ascent of Mount
Blanc. They had mutual friends abroad.
but still the great enigma, where he had
known ber in America, remained un
solved.
But he troubled himself very little
bout it just now. He was drifting with
the tide. He was passing through a new
phase of exuterce. Ha had believed
himself invincible, and, behold, he had
been conquered by the "touch of hand.

He assured himself that it would,
It seemed to Dr. Harrisse about this
time that Dr. Johns was always joining
them, that he had a weakness himself
for Miss Lindsay, and Harrisse smiled,
tninking bow futile it was.
"You remember Captain Hamerton?"
asked Dr. Johns on one of these occa
sions, when the talk had somehow drift
ed npon love and marriage. ;
'Oh, certainly," said Harrisse. wish

were in the Bed tea, figuratively speak

"Well, yon know, he fell to love with

Oh,. well," said Dr, Harrisse, "there
must be nautch girls and circus riders
perhaps, but we don't choose our wive

"1 think I must go below," said Lucille,

Naturally enough Lucille was tired of
the surgeon's reminiscences. Naturally
she felt no interest in the vulgar loves of
circus riders and old beaux. -
"109 ViO. QUA tb funseV! he laid
aside, detaining her, "Dr. Johns will be

W ben they parted the next morning,, he
saidr ; , ,
"I shall see yon, if I may, at the first
available moment in the week. If any
thing iireventa, I shall write." i . -
Sitting down to dine the following day
with hia bosom friend, he said: -
"Tom, you know everthing and every-,
body; can you tell me where I met a
Miss Lucille Lindsay?" '
.. "She was the person Captain Hamer
ton wanted to marry. You remember
old Hamerton?" .
"Yea."
"Forty years her senior. He tempted
her with jewels as Faust tempted Mar

although she was only a poor little circus
rider she wouldn't have him. When he
died, he loft her half his big estates. 1

Been on the ragged edge of flirtation on
the voyagu? Fancy a Harrisse marrying
a circus rider! How Beacon street would

Dr, Harrisse was perhaps thankful
that his patients demanded his atten
tion, and gave him no time to think or
visit at once, and that an important case
made it impossible, as be said to himself,
to do other than to postpone Miss Lind
say. , One day he met Dr. Johns coming
away from her presence. He had an air
of suppressed excitement about him. It
was a year since they had parted ou the
Malta. "Tbe follow is almost hand
some," thought Harrisse, "and he is in
love with Lucille." '
He acted npon Ms determination to
call, but Miss Lindsay was engaged with
a headache and begged Dr. Harriss
would excuse her."'
The words sounded strangely to htm
be felt dazed and miserable and angry
with Dr. Johns, as if his visit had some
thing to do with it All at once the fact
that Lucille had begun life aa a circus
rider seemed trivial and of no impor
tance compared with the greater fact
that he loved her. Let those laugh who
win. :
He never remembered having been in
such a hurry before in his life. Why
had he postponed happiness so long? It
was late in the following day when he
received Lucille s reply

Dr. Harrisse tossed the letter into the
grate and went out to his patients.
It was perhaps half a dozen years later.
when looking over some old papers he
happened on the charred remnants of
Lucille s letter, which his servant had
rescued from tbe fire and folded away.

Mrs. Flyer had just returned from

was eagerly watching for her arrival
and just as soon as she got back a recep

" The Tribune has found out somehow
that there are in the world ftOU.OOU.UOO of
fully clad people, 700,0on,(l0O of partly ulnd
people and 8.V),0UO,000 of naked people. We
say that tbe naked millions have a perfect
right to live in nakedness, They do not
need clothes for warmth or couifurt, and
they do not think tlint they need them for
any other reason. They do not ask other peo
ple to go naked, and the other people have
no business to ask them to wear things.
There are lots of reanertable men and wom
en among the naked millions who mind
their own aflairs. Wsdo o suppose that
th men of the Kigor anil Congo would be
willing to live ln this world if they bad to
wear coats, vesta, trousers, plug hats and
leather boots, or that the women would
find life tolerable if dressed up in gowns,
bonnets, shawls, boo wklrte aim things.
Most of tbe nude aud seminiide people of
our race are in Africa, and they don't want i
us to bother them.' Most qf tbe clothed
and aumlclod people are in Asia, Europe
and America, and they ought to ba willing
to let their African brethren enjoy tbe sun

perpetually urging the naked people to buy
and wear them. It lit impudence. A naked
person may be better and wiser than a I
clothes wearer. He may lie pious, virtuous.
