She Has Been Seeing Life From Harrisburg to Chicago. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Sue Shelby is in town. She started for Chicago two weeks ago from her Harrisburg (Perm.) home, where she is known to her friends as Miss Maud Sanders, and arrived here, recently. She has experienced in the two weeks that she has been traveling westward sensations that who had hoped for all her life, and never thought to realize until she hit upon the expedient of beating her way on the railroads, sleeping in poli stations, and begging her food from door to door. She says she "will remain in Chicago only long enough to get money from pa," and then she will go back to Harrisburg and relate her experiences. Sanders has for two or three years taught a country school located on her farm. She had been studying human nature during that time, and when she left home she had two distinct ideas as in her head; one was to become a detective, and the other to derive some of the experiences of a "hobo." Well formed and pretty, but, according to an officer from the Brighton Park police station, with whom she came in contact, "She is daffy on the slum business." When she left home, Miss Sanders said her name to Sue Shelby, and with only an ordinary traveling dress and no wraps she proceeded to make "good good eyes" at conductors and brakemen on the Panhandle Railroad until First Class Mail in a Month.

During the entire trip from Harrisburg to that point she failed to find a policeman with courage enough to arrest her. The longer she escaped arrest the more she wanted to see inside of a cell and enjoy that experience. Last Sunday night, however, it is claimed by Pan-handle detectives that she figured in an episode that came near causing her the loss of her life. She is silent on the subject when questioned and admits she was in the vicinity at the time, but refuses to confirm or deny the story of the detectives. On the night in question, someone attempted to break in the end of a baggage car on the Pan-handle road at Richmond. The baggagemaster heard the noise and opened fire on the intruder, but no one was hit. Richmond police officers knew of her being in town two or three days, but their suspicions were not directed toward her until after she left that place. The detectives have been close upon her trail, however, and realizing her desire for experience and notoriety, and not having a very good case against her, have refrained from arresting her. "She is certainly a good one," said the Brighton Park officer last night. "She flipped off the train within a few feet of where I was standing and sauntered up to me with a jaunty air and said, 'Are you looking for me.'" " 'Not on your life,' says T. " 'Didn't you see me flip?' she says, and then she hands me a lot of hot air about having ridden from Harrisburg on a freight train and grabbed off lunches on the way. I thought I would call the wagon for a run to the detention, and then I looked her over again and I said to myself, 'Old boy, she is stringing you,' and I walked down the track to Doc Horn's switch shanty, and she prances up the avenue, looking for a handout until I lost sight of her. I am sorry I didn't pinch her, since I have thought the matter over, for she might make a good catch." To the Panhandle trainman, with whom she came into the city, she stated that she had seen enough of the world and would be satisfied to get back home as soon as possible. She was directed to the Young Women's Christian Association. Building, on Michigan avenue, for a night's lodging, and she expects to hear from Harrisburg today. Thinks he's a Bicycle. New York Cor.

For several days Orth has believed he was a bicycle and crept energetically about on his hands and knees. When taken to the police station last night he refused to stand on his feet, but still insisted he was a bicycle, and rested on his hands and telephoned for stove repairing—any make. American Stove Repair Works. THE SILVERY VOICED SENATOR CHANGES AN ANARCHIST'S PURPOSE WITTY JEST WOKEN TRICK Conspirator Shook Hands With the Famous Post-Prandial Orator and Made a Really Startling Confession. Senator Depew met some hostile Bryan-like crowds during his recent canvass of New York state, and seemed to delight in handling them so that they cheered him when he got through speaking, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. To produce this effect he generally began by telling stories till his audience was in good humor. In a reminiscent mood one day, after mailing one of these changes in a crowd at a little crossroads village, Senator Depew told of an incident which showed the effect of humor on a crowd. "It was at the strangest dinner that I ever attended, and I've attended a great many," he said. "A woman well known for her philanthropic work in New York was the hostess, and she had as her guests the hungry and homeless men who nightly form a line outside of a bakery on Broadway waiting for the bread that is there distributed. The dinner was on Christmas day, and the woman who got it up came to me and asked me to make a speech to those who partook of it. It was her idea that a little after-dinner speech would make the dinner more of a success, and she described the good that might be done in this way so strongly that I agreed to attend. "Like a good many other people of New York, I was pretty familiar with the nightly scene outside of this bakery and the character of the men who waited for the charity dispensed there. The dinner was at night, and I made up my mind to be as punctilious about my dress as though I was going to a dinner at the Mansion House in London. I put on my dress clothes embellished with a boutonniere, and, arrayed in this style, I went to the dinner. I don't think anything ever made quite such an impression on me as the sight of those men as they ate that dinner. In the row of faces about the table it did not take a student of criminology to pick out those whose criminal instincts had for years been dominant, and in their hardened features it was almost impossible to read what feeling that dinner or my appearance produced. GUESTS AT ESSENTIALS. "All ate ravenously, and what struck me very forcibly was the lack of conversation. In fact, a great majority of the men seemed to prefer to eat in silence. Now and then a word would be passed, but it was generally an undertone. "After a while it came time for me to speak. While they were eating it began to dawn upon me that the task was a pretty hard one, and when I got up to speak I felt that this was only too true. Although they had eaten well, and their inner man had been satisfied in a few hours, if at any time before, yet the look given me by every man at that dinner appeared to be one of resentment and defiance. My first words failed to change in any face the sullen look it wore, and as my eyes swept over that strange assemblage no sign of animation was visible on any countenance before me. I don't think I have ever in my life felt as I did as I looked into those faces and wondered how I could interest those men who sat looking at me silently and sullenly as I stood there in my evening clothes, presenting such a contrast." I don't remember now what I said at first, but I do remember that it fell absolutely flat. Then I tried some humorous little things that had stood me in good stead in times far less trying than this. The first story I noticed produced no impression. There was still the same sullen look on the faces, which seemed to portend dangers, should the owners of them meet me under different circumstances. By the time I had reached the end of the second story I saw that some were listening to me in a way that really denoted interest. One or two smiled, yet there were still some on Whose faces there was absolutely no sign of interest, but instead the defiant look of the anarchist or socialist for one who was regarded as a traditional enemy. I told a third story. Like the two others it was a humorous one, but I had known it sometimes not to take. When I finished it some of those before me were laughing outright, and others were smiling. I saw only a few who were still silent, one of them in particular, because he had his eyes continually on me since I had entered. After that I went on feeling a little more at ease myself. CROWD BEGAN TO LAUGH. "I talked on subjects suggested by the season we were in and I found all of them were listening attentively, and the next story I told was followed by a laugh that sounded like music after the somewhat ominous silence that seemed to linger over that strange feast. Even the man I had noticed laughed this time with the rest, a loud, rasping laugh that I had never seen before. NANCBESTERS ARE RECONCILED The Marriage of Miss Zimmerman to the Younger Duke Satisfactory to the Dowager Duchess. The Duke of Manchester, who married Miss Helena Zimmerman, of Cincinnati, about a week ago, has been forgiven by his mother, the Dowager Duchess of Manchester, and by his grandmother, the Duchess of Devonshire. The Duchess of Devonshire is one of the most interesting titled personalities in England. She was formerly the Duchess of Manchester, and was married to the Duke of Devonshire in 1592. The marriage was of the most private nature, as the duchess' son, the late Duke of Manchester, died in the same week. The bride and her husband had been firm friends for over thirty years, and it was even said that they had been engaged before the marriage to Manchester, but this has been denied with positiveness. Her first union had been most romantic. The Duke of Manchester, traveling, heard above all the others. Hard as it was, it betrayed unmistakable enjoyment." "I think I talked an hour in all to those men, the strangest and hardest audience I have ever had in forty-four years of speechmaking. When I finished, I made up my mind, I would shake hands with them as they passed out. I stationed myself near the door, and each man took the hand I proffered, and we shook hands. If the faces in which I looked were strange, the feeling of their hands was even more so. Some of them grasped my hand firmly and spoke their thanks, while others had a hesitancy about it. In my shirt front, I had a stud of value given to me by Cornelius Vanderbilt. I saw nearly everyone look at it, drop his eyes and pass on. "Finally, along came the man whom I had noticed. He had lingered behind and I had felt that his eyes were on me all the time. He was the typical anarchist, a foreigner. Hate in him, as his face showed plainly, had so long been the ruling passion that it had almost obliterated all the others. I put out my hand, all the time looking in his eyes, for somehow I felt that it was this man who would do me harm there if any. His hand closed on mine in a way that made me think it was to render it powerless." For a moment, the man hesitated while I stood there prepared for anything. Then he said: "Chauncey Depew, I made up my mind when I saw you here tonight to kill you, but, did it, you've captured me." He shook my hand and passed out with the others, and I have never seen him since. From his appearance, from the way his eyes had rested on me while I was speaking up till the last, when I made him laugh, I have had no hesitancy in believing that that man meant what he said, and that by making him laugh I had perhaps saved my life. I shall never forget that incident or the man whose hand I clasped as he spoke those words." FEEDING BALD HEADS. French Scientists Say It Is Bad to Work Near Electrics. San Francisco Examiner. Don't work with an electric light close to your hair unless you wish to become baldheaded before your time. This is the latest edict published by French scientists, and substantiated by physicians here in San Francisco. According to these learned savants, the surest road to baldness lies in the path of the electric light. A mechanical Delila is the electric light, shearing the Samsons who come under its glare. Dr. Winslow Anderson, of St. Winifred's hospital, says that a number of his patients who have complained of their hair falling out are young men doing clerical tasks, working with an electric light shining over their heads. In nearly all of these cases, it has been found that the hair ceases to fall when the electric light has been readjusted. ED. A number of other prominent physicians have noticed the anti-hirsute qualities of the electric light, and, like Dr. Anderson, have warned their patients against working directly under its rays. In a recent number of a leading French medical journal, the subject of baldness is discussed at length. According to one writer, the baldheaded contingent of the human race is increasing out of all proportion. Old age is the only natural cause for the hair falling out. But among the modern baldheads are to be found many young men, whose smooth faces belie their smooth pates. The Avriter, continuing, gives a long list of the causes of premature baldness. Among others, he mentions: Severe sickness, sudden shocks, lack of sleep, dissipation, and the hurry of the present civilization. Then he dilates upon the evil effects of the electric light, characterizing it as the worst of harmful agents that militate against a good old fashioned crop of hair. All the physicians base this anti-electric theory on practically the same grounds. "The electric light," explained Dr. Winslow Anderson, "does not give out any more, nor as much heat as some other lights. But as the electric light is arranged in modern offices, it comes in close contact with the head. The bulb is generally attached to a pliable, portable tube, and men doing desk work usually place the light in injurious proximity to the tops of their hearts. The heat radiating from the incandescent light directly above the hair dries up the oils in the air. The sebaceous glands. This is fatal to the life and growth of the hair. Then hair and hair follicles become diseased, just as much as any other part of the system that is abused. "In treating hair that has been thus affected, the injurious cause must first be removed. In other words, place the electric light at a safe distance away. Then the hair, by the use of certain ointments and massage, may perhaps be coaxed back into a healthy condition." Police Judge Judah inadvertently rode a bicycle upon a forbidden sidewalk recently, and, on being reprimanded by a citizen, went to his own office and swore out a warrant for his own arrest. The warrant was delivered to Marshal Gibson, who arrested Judah and brought him into his own court for trial. Judah sat as police judge and took his own plea of guilty, fined himself the usual sum of $1, and then paid himself the fine. The record of the case was in the usual form. In France, saw her in an opera box in Nice, fell in love with her on the spot, was introduced, and at once began a successful courtship. She was then Louise Fredericke Augustus, a daughter of Count von D'Alten, of Hanover. The marriage with Manchester was most happy, and the duchess was grief-stricken at his death, only consenting to marry her old friend when her son joined his voice to her lover's in favor of the march. She is most devoted to the duke, goes with him to all the functions that require his presence, and has an attractive way of taking her distinguished husband under her wing. They are today, perhaps, the most devoted pair in London society. She is celebrated for the beauty of her jewels, and London society women have not yet finished raving over the diamond tiara worn by her at the Princess Maudes wedding. History of America: Revolution for Kerensworth-Worthington Boys and Girls. Alma Porter Writes Some Entertaining Animal Stories in Her Book, "Nigger Baby and Nine Beasts." "Horses of the Revolution;" by T. W. Hall, Frederick A. Stokes company, New York. This is a history of the American Revolution for heroworshiping boys and girls, to whom it is dedicated. It keeps close to the facts and aims to show the underlying causes that led to the great events as well as to give a good idea of the results attained. That it is well written for the understanding of the younger generation was evident when a copy of it fell into the hands of a book-loving child, whose interest in it never flagged until the end of the volume, and then in answer to a request for an opinion on the book came the prompt response, "It is splendid." "While written for younger readers of history, it will profit their parents to read and consider what the author has so entertainingly told. "Nigger Baby and Nine Beasts." "Nigger Baby and Nine Beasts," by Alma Florence Porter. Ess Ess Publishing company, New York city. Old and young lovers of animals will be delighted to make the acquaintance of the horses, dogs, foxes, pigs, raccoons, cats, tame and wild, bears, crow and burro, whose romances are told, in Alma Porter's "Nigger Baby and Nine Beasts." The strongest story in this attractively printed, beautifully illustrated and hand-written book. Somely bound volume, is that entitled "Nigger Baby, a Horse With a Great Soul." Other horses, notably "Black Beauty," have had the story of their lives sympathetically and dramatically related, but none had the growth of its character so fascinatingly described. "When Mrs. Porter was eight years old, Nigger Baby was found one morning, down in the meadow, beside the great black racer, Princess. The little girl was already a friend of Mamma Princess, who affectionately presented her to the newcomer. Nigger Baby and the human child were playmates until the latter was sent away to boarding school, almost brokenhearted. Afterward Nigger Baby was sold to Senator Lord, whose daughter tried in vain to break the spirit of the beautiful animal. Finally Nigger Baby was saved from cruel bondage by her first mistress, and restored to those who understood her great heart. Thor was an ugly-tempered black bear, taught when young by a little girl to have confidence in humans, which finally brought about his death at the hands of a man whom he had saved from his savage kin. The two Black Marks were wildcats, whom the blood of a domesticated ancestor rendered appreciative of human affection. Beauty and Caccio were dogs. In the breast of Beauty reigned a sweet, maternal kindness, that exposed her to the cruel ingratitude of her own and her adopted children. Caccio loved a humble animal so well as to sacrifice his happiness for that of his sweetheart. Angel was a crow, whom a lack of conscience brought to an untimely end. Diablito was a burro, whose rare intelligence saved his little mistress from death, or worse. These animals are all delineated with charming detail by Mrs. Porter. They are not hackneyed types, familiar to the casual observer and to the zoologist, but distinct individuals, impossible to confuse with other individuals. Their emotions are shown to clearly interpret their souls, for the author believes that her animal friends are endowed with the spiritual intelligence that many suppose to distinguish man from beast. No person, without a great, sensitive soul, could have written "Nigger Baby and Nine Beasts," which will interest keenly anybody who has ever been admitted to the intimate friendship of a dumb animal. "The South Shore." The South Shore, by Edmund H. Garrett, Brown & Co., Boston. Mr. Garrett's new book is a companion piece to his "Romance and Reality of the Puritan Coast" and "Three Heroines of New England Romance," and is bound in dainty blue cloth, with the Mayflower in gold on the cover. On the fly leaves back and front, are printed in color the family names of the forefathers who came over in the Mayflower, the Fortune, the Anne, and the Little James. Many illustrations, which consist of drawings from nature and from fancy by the writer, with a demure pilgrim maiden done in color as a frontispiece, add not a little to the general attractiveness and beauty of the book. The author proposes to set forth attractions of some of the places in our own land, revered by association and history, and thinks that, although love of country may be strengthened by travel abroad, these places should not be neglected for others more remote. A chapter is devoted to each of twelve towns on the south coast, points of interest described and anecdotes and legends connected with ancient landmarks related. Although the south shore has not progressed as rapidly as the north, where noisy, smoky cities are teeming with business, the Puritan land can boast of no place so famous as that at which the Pilgrims landed and made their dwelling, and the chapter devoted to Plymouth will be perhaps the most interesting to the many travelers who are making of that place an American shrine.

One of Charles Dana Gibson's charming girls adorns The cover of Life's Book for Golfers, which is gotten up in the attractive manner of all Life's publications. Mr. Gibson's stately beauties are no less fascinating in their golfing suits than in the stunning evening clothes in which they were formerly presented to us. Besides the Gibson girl in her picturesque poses, the book contains many charming examples of the illustrator's art, Allen Gilbert, Fletcher Ransom, William L. Jacobs, Henry Hutt and others present the society aspect of the game, and Albert Blashneld, Rudolph Benner, Dan Beard, Ray Brown, F. M. Follett and W. H. Gilbert, some of the numerous points of the game and its devotees. Noilson shows some of his inimitable animal golfers. The bits of verse and stories are all suggestive of the Scottish game. The book will make a charming Christmas gift for a golf lover. "Attwood's Pictures." "Attwood's Pictures," Life Publishing company, New York. Francis Gilbert Attwood's sad death a few months ago removed a cartoonist whose work had fulfilled the promise of his first efforts, which appeared during his college years in the Harvard Lampoon in 1880. Mr. Attwood studied under Dr. Rimmer and at the Boston Art museum. His cleverest work was in the line of satirical humor. He did a little illustrating for books and magazines, but his principal work was done for Life. He was associated with that bright weekly from the date of its first publication to the time of his death. Readers of the little paper will remember his historical pages, which reviewed the world's history epigrammatically—a word which applies to these sketches more admirably than a technical art term. The Life Publishing company has selected 144 of the historical pages, covering the time from 1887 to the end of 1909, and bound them handsomely in a dull blue cover, with gold letters. It is "an artist's history of the last ten years of the nineteenth century." "Her Boston Experiences." "Her Boston Experiences," by Margaret Allston, L. C. Page & Co., Boston. Miss Alston's piquant recital of her visit to the modern Athens is charmingly written. The love story running like a slender thread through the narrative of her experiences adds somewhat to the interest, although the freshness and spontaneity of her views on Boston's time-honored customs and the Bostonians' provincialism will insure many leaders. A Bostonian will claim that her pictures of his city's foibles are somewhat overdrawn, but he will say that only a Bostonian born and bred can fully appreciate that historic and really beautiful city. Miss Alston's point of view is that of a fine-de-sleecle, cosmopolitan young woman and while her criticisms of certain features of life are keen, her appreciation of most that has made Boston what it is, is sincere. Some of the characters in the book fill be readily recognized by those familiar with the artistic and society life of the city, and her types of men and women will be recognized by all as belonging to "the most democratic city in America, the cradle and nursery of independence." The experiments ran serially in the Ladies' Home Tribune about a year ago. "On Peach Leaf Curl." The United States department of agriculture has prepared and just published a handsomely illustrated manual on "Peach Leaf Curl: Its Nature and Treatment," which goes exhaustively into experiments made in various portions of the country, although of limited interest in this immediate vicinity. LITERARY NOTES . "In the Days of Jefferson" is the title of Mr. Hezekiah Butterworth's historical story for young readers, which is published by D. Appleton & Co. A number of striking and romantic events in Jefferson's early life have been utilized by the writer in a story of remarkable interest. It introduces Patrick Henry and other leaders of the times. The historical value is enhanced by the approach of the anniversary of the Louisiana purchase. "The Christmas Story," as the Widow Cullom episode in "David Harum" has been aptly called, is to be published by itself in a novel form by D. Appleton & Co., illustrated with striking pictures of William H. Crane in the character of David Harum, and stage photographs. "The Influence of Christ in Modern Life" will be the title of the Rev. Dr. Howell Dwight Hillis' new book, which will be published early in December by the Macmillan company. It will be a study of the new problems of the church in American society. Gunton's Magazine for December is full of substantial reading. Its contents include "Consequences of Railway Prosperity," by H. T. Newcomb; "Integrity of Newspaper Discussion," by the editor; "The Root of Evil in Japan," by S. Yamagnchi, M. A.; "Review of the Month," "New York's Moral and Political Duty," "The National Election," "A New Lease of Prosperity," "How the Workingman Voted," "Meaning of the Administration Triumph," "Foreign Opinions on the Election," "Virtuous Crokerism," "Gen. Mac Arthur's Philippine Report," "The Chinese Problem," "Political Isolation the Cause of the South," "The Truck Store System," "Cuba's Constitutional Convention." "In Guilemon," the reminiscences of an occasional traveler, edited by Henry S. Brayton, author of "Heads and Faces," "Human Magnetism" and other books of popular merit, is the title of a new book announced for the holiday season by R. S. Mighill & Co., of New York, which, if there is anything in a title, would indicate a departure from the vogue that has held popular taste so long. "Character," R. S. Mighill & Co., New York. This volume is a valuable addition to the books for the parlor table. "Character," is in the style of an autograph album designed for the preservation of the soul. Of those characteristics that are most interesting to one's friends.

The Bible and great authors on "the Wonderful Providences of God as Our Father," as Miss Porter expresses it. On one of the early pages of the book, the author discusses "Christian Fortitude." Her conception of it is illustrated, effectively, too, with quotations from Locke, Milton, and George Eliot. A message of peace comes from South Africa. It is from an Englishman-Boer. Strange paradox! The Rev. Dr. Andrew Murray sends this message. It is in the shape of a book, soon to be published by the Revells, entitled "Thy Will Be Done." It is a volume of the deepest, calmest devotion. Dr. Murray lives in South Africa, in Wellington, about forty-five miles north of Cape Town. He conducts a school there for Kaffirs and Boes. He also lectures and preaches often in the Free State, Transvaal, and Natal. His book shows that in spite of the war and conflict there remains a deep undercurrent of real, genuine life in South Africa. THE MING TOMBS. Wonderful Structures That Waldersee Plans to Destroy. Baltimore Sun. The tombs of the Ming dynasty, which as announced in dispatches from Pekin Field Marshal Count von Waldersee has sent a colony of troops to destroy are about fifteen miles northwest of Pekin at Chang-ping-chou. They are among the wonders of China and cost an immense sum of money. There are thirteen of these tombs. The government sends a deputation, including the Marquis Chu, the best lineal descendant of the Mings, to worship there each autumn. As is well known, ancestor worship is one of the special traits of Chinese religion, and the tombs of their kings are especially sacred to them. Particularly is this true of the Mings' the last native dynasty which ruled China and which was supplanted early in the seventeenth century by the present dynasty of Manchus. The Mings tombs are magnificent structures and have been carefully preserved. They are surrounded by a series of wonderful white marble balustrades carved in the fineness of an ivory jewel casket. Broad marble terraces contain a series of yellow-tiled buildings, each emperor having separate apartments for his memorial tablet, sacrificial altars and coffin. The architecture is of the best Chinese type and the materials of the building and their contents are rich. Small furtiaces, where written prayers for the dead are burned, are scattered about. The approaches to the tombs are by means of broad avenues, containing at intervals handsome marble buildings, where guards are stationed. The principal one of these avenues is decorated on each side with huge stone figures of warriors, horses, elephants, camels and uricorns. The tombs of the Manchu dynasty are seventy miles from Pekin in another direction. There have been rumors that the allies propose to destroy these, too. Plara and Goes on Fire. Birmingham (Mich.) Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean. Pigs and geese were made drunk yesterday at the cider mills of William Smith, of Bloomfield Center. Will be the man, who was present, said: "In shipping the cider, some casks were used that had been filled with cherry brandy. We emptied the cherries, probably a gallon to each cask, where the pugs could get them. It was amusing to see the drunken pugs after they had partaken of the brandy-soaked cherries. They staggered and quelled, and acted as foolish as so many drunken men. The flock of geese pitched in and stuffed themselves, tottered. The old gander stood staggering with his logs wide apart and squawked and honked in an unnatural manner. In half an hour both pigs and geese were laid out on the grass stealing dry. Two woodpeckers joined in and were soon laid out, with their feet in the air." MUNYON'S RHEUMATISM CURE "When Prof. Munyon says his Rheumatism Cure will cure rheumatism, there isn't any guesswork about it—the same isn't any false statement about it. It simply cures. It does just exactly what he says it will do. It cures more quickly than people expect. It cures without leaving any ill effects.
