A Fashionable Crowd in Attendance When the Case Was Called Mrs. Harureaves' Tea-rs Prevent the Ex pression of Sympathy She Feels for ! Her Friend. London, Feb. 13. Florence Ethel Os borne was brought from Hollo way jail to Bow street police court and arraigned before Magistrate Sir John Bridge to answer the charge of perjury. The" court room was packed. In the crowd were a large number of ladies in the height of fashion. S "eager were some of these ladies that they reached the court long before the hour for the hearing, nothing daunted by the unaccustomed character of the place. Mrs. Osborne was - attended by her husband. She presented a most pitiful appearance, bhe was dressed, entirely in black, and when she was placed m the prisoner's elock she wept bitterly, blowing her head in her hands so her face could not be s?en. Captain Os borne stood besnle her outside the dock, and held one of her hands. His friends insist that no disgrace should -be attached to him, and though society decrees that he should suffer tor a crime of which he knows nothing, they express their determination to slick by him. When, during the course of the hear ing, the pearls which have Leon the cause of all the trouble were produced in evidence, Mrs. Osborne broke down conipletelv. Her bodv shook con vulsively, and from her eyes there poured a flood of bitter tears. Mrs. Hargreaves herself was more than touched by the grief af her friend. She could only ccnirol herself by the great est effort, and she wept almost as freely 'as the prisoner. She teased toward the dock and tried to whisper a few words of encouragement and nope to Mrs. Os borne, but her tears compelled her to stop, and she buried her face in her handkerchief. Mr. O F. Gill appeared for the treas ury. He pronounced the formal evi dence of the perjury, and then called as a witness Mrs. Hargreave. She told of how Mrs. Osborne, then Miss Elliott, had visited her at Tortraay and went through the now familiar story. The Jewelry had been restored to her. and all the costs incurred by her in defending the libel suit had been paid back to her. The witness was then asked if she had seen Mrs. Osbore since the latter had re turned to England and given herself up to the police. With every evidence of deep emotion Mrs. Hargreave said that she had visited her at the jail. . Mr. Spink, the jeweler, identified Mrs. Osborne. After further evidence by Mr. Spink and from a witness from the Bank of England regarding the notes signed by the prisoner, the magistrate asked Mrs. Osborne if she had anything to say. She. in a very faint voice, answed "Xo.-' The prisoner was then formally com mitted for trial. The treasury prosecution of Mrs. Os borne is based on a charge of larceny as well as perjury. ToBrinsr Rigsrin's Body Home. "Washington, Feb. 13.

BLAINE WITHDRAWS His Letter to Chairman Clarkson Announcing His Decision. OTJLLOM WILL BE A CANDIDATE. XiCading Republicans in Illinois Say That This Means the Renomina tion of President Harrison, an Opinion "Which Is Shared by . Cab inet Officials. Washington. Feb. 8. The following letter was made public last night. Washington, Feb. 6, 1892. Hon. J. S. Clarkson, chairman of the national Republican committee: My Dear Sir I am not a candidate for the presidency, and my name will not go before the Republican' national convention for the nomination. I make this announcement in due season. To those who have tendered their sup- f Tiort J owe srmeer-' thanks and am most graceful for their confidence. They win, i am sure, matte earnest ettorta m the approaching contest, which is ren dered especially important by reason of the industrial and financial policies of the government being at stake. The popular decision on these issues is ol great moment and will be of far reach JaheS G. Blaine. Washington, Feb. 9. Opinions differ widely as to the effect upon national politics of Mr. Blaine's letter. Politic ians seem to be practically unanimous in the belief that the secretary, in writ ing it, turns his back on the nominal ion for the presidency, it being generally conceded that he could be his party's candidate if he would but consent. This belief is shared by leaders of both great parlies. It is developed here, as a Gonsequence of Mr. Blaine's letter of withdrawal, that Illinois will probably have a strong candidate for the presidential nomina tion in the person of Senator Cnllom. The senator desires a delegation favora ble to him from his own state, and that he will endeavor to gain strength from other states is assured. When ques tioned by a reporter Senator Cullom said: "I am not surprised. I had intima tions of it. coming from various sources, and, indeed, from the secretary himself, but nothing definite. It dpens the field for the nomination." ".Does that mean that you will enter?" "Yes, it does. 1 have said to my friends that, baring given Illinois thirty years of earnest service eight in the state legislature, six in the governor's chair, eight in the lower house of congress, and nine in the senate I would esteem it a great honor to have the delegation to the national Republican convention from Illinois support me for the presi dential nomination.'' Chicago, Feb.9. Blame's withdrawal is the political sensation of the hour. The members of the numerous Blaine clubs are much chagrined, but Harri son's supporters are jubilant. The lead ing Republicans of the state say that it certainly means Harrison's renommation at Minneapolis. -Major Brockaway. president of the Illinois Blaine club, says it means victory for Harrison. The Tribune, the Blaine organ of the north-, west, accepts the resignation as final and says it points unerringly to Harri son's renomination. Washington, Feb. 10. President Harrison and his cabinet officials were in session an hour and a half yesterday. The business before the meeting related almost entirely to the Behring sea mat ter but as Lord Salisbury's approval of the treaty submitting the subject to ar bitration had not yet been received by Sir Julian Pauncefote nothing was ac complished. Secretary Blaine came in some time after the rest of the cabinet gathered, and is said to have been iu particularly good spirits. There was. of course, some discussion of the secre tary's letter of withdrawal, and it Was the unanimous expression of the mem bers that President Harrison's renomi nation by acclamation was practically assured. The prospect of this is said to have been highly satisfactory to every one of his official family. The Reading's iiijj Scoop. Philamxphia. Feb. 13. The aosorp- tion by the Philadelphia and Reading railroad of the Lehigh Valley , Jersey Central and Lehigh and Susquehanna roads, thus gaining control of three fourths of the coal carrying trade of the country, causes considerable com ment in railroad circles.

The Country Heinfr Flooded With Circu lars by Green Goods Men. Quite a number of green goods cir culars have been recently received h em New York by persons residing in Wilmington. One of our well known business men received one on vesterdav and he - turned it over to the chief of police. The counterfeiter states that his terms are $450 for $5,000, $700 for Sio.ooo, $1,200 for $20,000 and $2, 000 for $40,600. He says also that $450 for $5,000 is the very smallest that he will sell under any circum stances, and that his object in not doing business on a small scale is to keep out irresponsible parties, as he wants "none but good reliable men" to engage with him. The green goods man gives full particulars as to the place he can be met and positively says he will not receive or send a letter but can communicated with only by telegraph. He also positively gives notice that no counterfeit will be sent by either mail or express, but that he will only deliver it in person. The circular among other things says : "I know that you have some dis tance to come but considering the tremendous profits and no risks what ever, it is well worth the slight incon venience of a journey here (to New York,)jand as far as expenses are con-, cerned I will make a liberal allowance to cover them, and I promise that if you do not find my goods just as represented, or should you upon any reasonable pretext whatever decline to consumate a trade, I guarantee to refund your entire expense from the time you leave home till you return, and make a liberal allowance for loss of time to business, etc." It is not known whether anybody hereabouts has "bit" at the tempt ing offer held out, -but a correspond ent sends the following sad story : "Battleboro, N. C, Feb. 8 1892. "From a well authenticated report circulating here it appears as if one of our unsophistocated Citizens has be come too "soft," as well as too avari cious, and as a consequence has been well and deservedly taken in by the "green goods" men. Sometime ago Mr. Carter Pope received from some parties up North certain letters and printed circulars telling him that a fortune was in store, ready at his beck and call that he would be paid $5,000 in good passable counterfeit if he would pay the subscriber $500 in eood money. Over-burdened with a large family, a bad crop, and still worse, a nature not too suscepti ble of honest i rpuisi he yielded. He first raised all the money he could it home by borrowing lrom his family and others and from a certain party in Goldsboro. (whose name will be given later on) then left for New ork. Arriving in the city he met his "friends," who announced them selves in readiness to bestow upon him the coveted fortune. The $5,000 or so was counted out and placed in a box with the caution that it was not to be opened until he reached his hotel, lest the watchful police see him and arrest him as a suspicious charac ter. He paid them (as near as the writer can learn) about $500, went to his room, opened his treasure, when, alas for the folly ol human hopes, nothing was in the box but a brick ! He instantly returned ' to the place where he had been robbed, but instead of finding an office found a bakery doing a thriving business. Mr. Pope returned home on $15 the sharpers generously gave him just before the steal. ' He is prostrated with gnef over his unlucky venture, and will now, we trust, take a long resting spell before another campaign The above is from the-Wilmington Messenger. We understand that Mr, Pope denies having' been engaged in such disreputable business. He ought to ,do so, as an honest man. The columns of The Advance are open to him, as to all citizens, to give his side of the story or any explanations he may desire the public to know. Editor.

Audress B. I. Greenwood, Wis." The lively disposition settled Maxwell. he answered the advertisement. The lively lady, who proved to be Miss Bel It Taylor, replied, and then she sent hei photograph and he his tintvpe. The other day at the Union depot the at tendant on the ladies.' waiting room ob served a woman of "uncertain age" sit ting by herself in a corner weeping. "Look at that tintype," she sobbed. "ilow old would you taKe mat mar. to be?" "That man's about thirty years old, 1 should say," replied the attendant. ''Thirty! He's sixty. He's nothing bul a wretched old fraud. I'm out my fart from Green Bay to Chicago. Can't 1 have him .arrested for obtaining monej under false pretenses?" "To think that an old hen like that should do me up in the first round," said Mr. Maxwell in the gentlemen's waiting room. "Sent me the photograph of hei youngest sister, and had the gall to lie me out until 1 stuck it under her nose and called down her bluff.' The old maid from Wisconsin and Mr. Maxwell, of Texas, had a cat-and-dog-time for about an hour, when Miss Tav lor arose, and with a sarcastic "Cxoodby dearest," took a train tor Wisconsin.

All is not gold that glitters, and many and wide spreading as are the benefits conferred on mankind by the electric light, it appeara that there are conditions under which its uso is fraught with grievous inconvenience and distress. This has been shown by the institution of a recent suit against an electric light ing company by a householder. Two arc lights of the company threw their bright beams all through the night over the show, windows of a store on the ground floor of the house. These lamps. however, nil with a hood of light the rooms of tbe flat above, in which the suitor resided, much to his disgust. Athirdnuisanc-e consisted iu tho myr iad of moths, bugs and other' insects which tho intense light attracted. The suitor elaimed that he had suffered tor tures during the hot weather. If the windows were left-open to admit the cool evening air, clouds of insects, drawn hy the bright light, swooped into the room. If the windows were closed and the blinds were pulled down to keep out the light and the moths, the rooms be came hot and almost intolerable. -Ex change.

People who incline to obesity may hold the tendency in check by appropri ate food and stirring exercise in the open air, thus both lessening the amount of fat forming food taken into the 83-stem, and causing a more rapid consumption of such fat as is.produced; and those who incline to undue leanness, by pursniug 4he opposite course, may largely increase the amount of fat deposited. If the leanness is the result of diges tive weakness, or of a faulty assimila tion, little of course can be done until . a conditiion of general health has been secured. But assuming that the ab normal leanness is connected with high health, the carbonaceous or fat forming food should greatly preponderate over the nitrogenous such as beef, lamb and codfish.
