GIRLS AND FOOTBALL.
They Tried to Play It In England, Bat
Their Attempt Proved a Fare.
It is with unbounded satisfaction,
says an English writer, that I learn thai
the attempt which was made recently
to ilay football in public by women
was even more ridiculous than I dared
hoped it would be. Anyone who ha3
seen a match at association football
played must have been impressed with
its total unsuitability as a woman's
game, however modified to suit her
limited strength and fieetness of foot,
and greater susceptibility o injury as
compared with man. ,
To endeavor to emulate, in however
small a way, the game played by men
could but be a burlesque, and a very
poor burlesque it was that was pre
sented. Curiosity, and the very reasonable
anticipation that the spectacle might
not be again presented, brought to
gether an attendance of many thou
sands. The majority came to scoff,'
and they certainly did not remain to
pray.
Quite a moiety did not remain to scoff
even, half an hour of the ridiculous ex
hibition of women, who had not even
taken the trouble to learn the rules of
the game, sufficing.
The "rational dress" cyclists' cause is
suffering badly from this kind of thing.
As if knickerbockers and stockings, or
gaiters, were not enough to ask the
public to accept, the spectacle is now
and then seen on the Portsmouth road
and Gotten Row of the cyclist, male
and female of women riding in what
appear to be the tights of the theater.
They are not members of the ballet
doing the thing out of bravado, but
merely women who have not the good
sense and taste to see how far they can
go; and their male connections seem to
know no better.

CLOWN WORTH MILLIONS.
In Twenty Tears Barnato Has Acanlre4
Over 8100,000,000.
Paris has a king within its walls to
day, one whose subjects do him hom
age throughout the world of business,
for the monarch is none other than
Barnato, the king of mines, who at the
lowest computation is worth one hun
dred and twenty million dollars.
Twenty years ago, says a foreign ex
change, a circus which had traveled,:
goodness knws how, from England to
South Africa, arrived at Kimberley. It
was not a big circus, in fact it was only'
composed of the manager, the man
ager's wife, a clown and two trained
mules.
At that epoch Kimberley was aofc the
diamond town that it has become since.
The circus did a poor business, and one
morning the director and directress
fled, leaving the clown wjth two mules
and thirty shillings in his pocket,
which is not much in Europe, but which
is still less at the Cape of Good Hope.
During a ride in the outskirts of Kim
berley he found in the field traces of
diamonds; he took some stones, showed
them to a miner, and, entering into
partnership with him, went to sell
them in the town. Then, without di
vulging his discovery, h bought the
field where he had made his find, took
out only a few stones, for fear of arous
ing suspicion, bought other fields, and
soon found himself a large landholder.
It was with these fields that the fa
mous Society of Boers was created, of
which Mr. Barnato is now governor,
with Sir Cecil Rhodes and another;
each of these three gentlemen now re
ceives an annual salary of one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars from
the company.
When the first gold mines were dis
covered at Johannesburg, Mr. Barnato
rushed there, bought as much land
as he could find, organized societies
on the London market and become
king of the mines. lie also went
in for politics, and, although not a fol
lower of Sir Cecil Rhodes' policy, he
caused himself to be elected deputy to
the British parliament from the Cape of
Good Hope.
Now Mr. Barnato lives in London
and only goes to the cape for the parlia
mentary sessions.
He is a little man, about forty-five
years old, wearing a slight mustache.
In dress he is very simple, and behind ft
plncenez mounted in gold (it is the
only trace on his person of the metal
king) he has two eyes of ar Incredible
vivacity.

COUNTY JAIL CLUBS.
A Queer Orsranlzation of Prison

The Kangaroo Court and Its Tavrlor'
Officials An Initiation Into tbs
Hysterias nf the Mys
tic Order.
The most interesting of these "in
promptu clubs is the one called in U
vernacular "The Kangaroo Court."
is found almost entirely in county ja
In which petty offenders and persoi :
awaiting trial are confined. Durin,
the day, writes Josiah Flynt in Har
per's Magazine,' the prisoners are al
lowed the freedom of a largo hall B'
at night they lodge Jn cells, the locks c
which are sometimes fastened an'
sometimes not. The hall contair
tables, benches, ' daily' papers, and i:
some instances stoves and kitchen utc !
sils. The prisoners can and do wai
Jump, and play various games. . "Afte.
awhile these games become tiresome
nd "The Kangaroo Court" is formed.
It consists of all the prisoners, and the
officers are elected by tH6m. The posl
tions they fill are the "judgeship," the
"aearchership," the "spankership," and
general "juryship." To illustrate the
duties of these various officials, I shall
give a personal experience in a county
Jail in New York state. It was my first
encounter with The Kangaroo Court.
I had been arrested for sleeping in an
empty "box car." . The watchman
found me and lodged me in the station
house, where I spent ft most gloomy
night, wondering what my punishment
would be. Early in the morning I was
brought before "the squire." He asked
me what my name might be, and I re
plied that "it might be Billy Rice."
"What are you Moing around here,
Billy?" he queried further.
"Looking for work, your honor."
" 1 nirty days, he thundered at me,
and I Was led away to the jail proper,
I had three companions at the time,
and after we had passed the sheriff
and his clerk, who had noted down all
the facts, imaginary and otherwise.
that we had cared to give him about
our family histories, we were ushered
pell-mell Into the large hall. Sur
rounded In ft twinkling by the other
prisoners, we were asked to explain
onr general principles and mlsdemean
org. This over, and a few salutations
exchanged, a tall and lanky rogue cried
out in a umd voice:
"The Xangru will now klectJ"
There were about twontv present,
ftnd they soon planted themselves about
na in ft'hiost solemn, manner. Borne
rested on their haunches, others
lounged against the walls, and still
others sat quietly on the flagstones.
As soon as entire qulot had been
reached, the toll fellow, who, by the
way, was the jiube, instructed half
grown companion, whom be nicknamed
''the searcher," to bring his charges
against the newcomers. He ap
proachcil tis solemnity, and in a mont
conventional manner, and said:
"Prisoners you are eharged witn
havln boodle In yer pockets. WbV
does ye plead guilty or not guilty?"
I was the first in line, and pleaded
not guilty.
"Are ye wlllln' to be searched?"
taked the judge.
'I am, your honor," I replied.
Then the searcher Inspected all my
jxH-keU, the lining of my coat, the
leather band Inside my list, my shoes
and hocks, and, finding nothing In the
sluiX' of money, declared that I wji
k'lllltlcsA.
"You arc discharged," exclaimed the
judge, and the jury ratified 'he decision
with a grunt.
A young fellow, a vsgrant by prof ca
sino, was the tiet rase, lie pleaded
not grullty, sn.l allowed himself to lie
searched. Hut unfortunately he had
forgotten a solitary crnt which was In
tils vet pocket. It was quickly oniiOs-
cate.I. ami bo was remanded fir trial
on the clnirKenf contempt of the "Kan-
jru." The neat victim pleaded guilty
to the Mv4"l)n of thirty-sis: cents,

the guillirat of all, although he plcoMcd

Misfortunes thiit have overtaken so

seems to hav.1 no cft'ot oa other seek
ers after Xarticio, savs fc'13 1'hn Spring's
(Col.) corrcsp.indont of the icvv York
TcleiMra. lVrlw no fate has been
so sad as that of t'.ie unknown pros
pector who was earned into luma re-
ccntly insane for t!io want of water
and food. The unhappy man put in
an appearance with his nurse at the
romantic village of Durmid on the
Southern I'aciflo track. Durmid is in
the heart of tlie dcisert, and a few miles
from Saltan. Thi;; and Volcano are the
dreariest spots in the world. For many
miles in the vicinity of Volcano Springs
nothing grows. Tho ground is treach
erous, for under its seemingly firm ex
terior are boiling mud wells. There
is shelter for neither beast nor bird.
Even the miserable sage brush gets no
hospitality from the lean soil. A piti
iless sun by day and a" hot wind by
night greet the travelers who cross the
desert in their hunt for gold deposits.
Here the prospsctor first brought him
self to notice by asking for a shovel.
"I vo got adcad burro out yonder," he
remarked, gazing to the west, "and I
want to bury it."
The shovel Was given him and awav
he started. He came back some time
after and said he had buried the car
cass some six feet under the ground. It
Was considered strange at the time,
as no one hero ever thinks of burying
an animal. Tha dry air desicates the
body as completely as if it had been
subjected to the heat of an oven. He
hung about tha section house for a few
hours and then left for Durmid, where
he mentioned his loss. There he staved.
refusing all offers of food, but picking
up his subsistence from such food as he
could find about the place dry bits of
Dread, which even a coyote would have
scorned, he ate greedily. Then he
asked for a shovel and announced his
intention to dig np his donkey, as he
had found a sovereign remedy against
death. The shovel was given him, and,
though the beast had been Interred
three or four days, the crazy man dis
interred tho remains. Ho came back,
Saying that the donkey refused to get
tip and live. The section men sent
word that they had an Insane man on
their hands and feared ho would die,"
as he rofusert food. The conductor of
a freight train was ordered to take him
into Yuma, and essayed the task. Tho
wretched man would run like ft deer
from his captors, offering violence to
anyone who eame near him.. Finally
one man more astute than thi restsaid:

Though his new found friends begged

Latest U. S. Gov't Report
DEATH BY HANGING,
fh Three Different Stages Through
Which the Victim Passes.
"I have made the subject of death
by hanging a long study," said Dr.
D. S. Lamb, an ex-surgeon of tho
United States army, according to the
St. Lowis Globe-Democrat. ' "From my
observations during my experience
in the army, I feel justified in saying
that death by hanging' is the most ex
aggerated of all modes. It may be im
mediate and without symptoms, but
the subject must pass through three
stages before death. ,
"In the first stage tho victim passes
into a partial stupor lasting from thirty
seconds to two minutes, but this is
generally governed by tho length of
the drop, the weight of tho body, and
the tightness of tho constriction.
There is absolutely no pain in this
stage; the feeling is rather one of
pleasure. The subjective symptoms
described are intense hea t in the head,
brilliant flashes of light in the eyes,
deafening sounds in the ears and a
heavy numb feeling in the lungs. In
the Becond stage, the subject passes
into unconsciousness, and convulsions
usually occur. In the third stale all
Is quiet except the beating of the heart.
Just before death tho agitation is re
newed, but in a different way from
that in the second state. The feet are
raised,, tho tongue has a peculiar
spasm, the chest heaves, the eyes pro-
tude from the orbits and oscillate from
side to side, and the pupils dilate.
The pulse can, in most cases, be felt
ten minutes after the drop.
"I once knew a man who was desir
ous of ascertaining if there was any
suffering by hanging, and in order to
find out he placed a rope around his
neck and stepped olt a lx-nch, intend
ing to step back again, but he Ik-cuiiih
immediately unconscious, and would
have died In a few minutes had It not
been for the timely arrival of a friend.
He said he experienced ull the feelings
that I mentioned in the first Htnge.
