J. Steele, at 192 1-2 Fulton street, on Monday, and rented some rooms in the house, for which he agreed to pay $12 per month rent. He gave in payment a check for $20, on the First National Bank. He received $3 in change, and said he would be back later for the remaining $5. He failed to return.
Mrs. Steele wants the man arrested. FIRE DOES $1,000 DAMAGE. A fire which started from some unknown cause last night did damage amounting to $500 to the two-story frame dwelling at 965 Willoughby avenue, owned by George Simon. The contents suffered to a like extent.
Both were insured. MOTHER AND CHILD ILL. While on her way yesterday afternoon to St. Mary's Hospital with her sick child, Lucy Renzer, of 2396 Atlantic avenue, was overcome by the heat at Stone and Atlantic avenues. Both mother and child were taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A CHILT Three-year-old James Fielder (ternoon seized wit? Iton street, removal to COP THE WOMAN AND TE By Marion Valenti seeme had strange that I never attem ted to ride a cycle before, but two years ago I would a ve fainted had you mentioned such a thing as my riding a bicycle, and bloomers, too But when society took up the "fad" and it became a of being completely "out of it" -besides seeing all my friends enjoy themselves without me- I began to look at the matter seriously. I found myself greatly embarrassed by my ignorance as to how to set about learning to ride, Perhaps the story of my experience may afford others information I lacked, and smooth away some of the difficulties that beset my path. In the first place, like most society girls of my age who are given to late hours and much dining, had been subject to disorders and dragging weaknesses peculiar to my sex; though acute suffering and a' weakness made me fit only for the shawl and the lounge, concealed my trouble a face stilling and that veneer of society polish which often covers a multitude of sin and much suffering. A friend of mine, who had been an invalid at one time, told me that she regained her health and strength, after several years suffering, taking lost, the advice of R. V.
Pierce, chief consuiting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y. On the same day that I began learning to ride the bicycle I purchased several bottles of Dr. Pieree's Favorite Prescription. Writing to Dr.
Pierce, I received much useful information about my condition, and began following his advice, which was to take his "Favorite Prescription" three times a day, to get out in the open air as much as possible, and to take some sort of healthful exercise, beginning slowly at first, and gradually increasing the practice. We have all seen the beginner with the instructor running behind and holding up machine and rider. I am told that a good instructor will never let his pupil fall, but one of our stable boys took malicious pleasure in seeing me get "tangled up," and it took considerable nerve to us persist in my endeavors. My anxiety to get well and strong was equal to my ardor in learning the "bike," and in a week I found I was on the high road to solve both problems. One of the most difficult things I encountered was in learning to dismount, which I preferred to do in comparative privacy.
In a few weeks I felt strong enough to attempt long rides in the country. When I returned home at evening there was a healthy glow to my cheeks where my face had formerly been only pale and lifeless. Health seemed to follow the Doctor's advice as naturally as the day follows night. Instead of days of pain and weakness, with those dragging-down sensations and feelings of lassitude, I felt buoyant and happy. I remember well one experience which happened about this time, when I was on a beautiful country road and enjoying to the fullest extent a down a hillthe joy of whizzing down a long gentle slope with one's feet baffles description! Suddenly I heard behind me great scurrying of feet and a loud roar -glancing around I saw a savage-looking bull-(it may have been only a cow) after me with his head down and his tongue out.
Evidently a red band on my sailor hat offended his lordship, but I never stopped to beg his feet caught the pedals, and fear lent wings to my machine- -in fact, I have ever since been the "winged wonder" by my friends who saw the race. But to return to the narrative of myself--two months after beginning with Dr. Pierce's medicines no one would for an instant surmise that for two years I had suffered agonies in silence. My inborn modesty caused me to shrink from the ordeal of submitting to medical examination and the stereotyped "local treatment." I would advise any woman, who is tired suffering, tired of doctoring, or tired of Mfe, to write Dr: Pierce or to the World's Dispensary Medical Association of Buffalo, N. of which he is president.
She will receive, free of charge, good sound advice that will enable her to cure herself at home (if her case is curable) pleasantly, painlessly, permanently. If her case is incurable, she will be told so plainly, or if she needs special prescriptions suited to her peculiar symptoms, Dr. Pierce, or his skilled specialists, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, will decide. But Dr. Plerce's records, covering hundreds of thousands of cases, prove that there are not three incurable cases in a hundred.
Where the ordinary practitioner treats one, such case, Dr. Plerce and the skilled specialists of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti- ment and sure of being cured in this Institution as is the drawing of a perfect cirele to the one man in a million. This is another instance where practice makes perfect. It is a case where one man can do what millions of others cannot do. My cure is a matter of record, and I cheerfully consent to its publication as a token of gratitude to Dr.
Pierce and his wonderful "Favorite Prescription" and "Golden Medical Discovery," and in order that other women may be rescued from agonizing suffering and untimely death. The above case is by no means an exceptional one. Many thoustnds have given their voluntary, written testimony in support of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and the "Golden Medical Discovery." Thousands and thousands of just such cures have been made in every State by this same special remedy women's peculiar disorders and diseases. This worldfamed remedy is not recommended as a "cure-all," but as a most perfect specific for women's pecullar ailments.
As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system and to the organs distinctly feminine in particular. For overworked, "worn-out." "run-down," debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shopgirls," housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled: as an appetizing cordial and invigorating tonic. As a soothing nervine, "Favorite Prescription" is unequaled in subduing nervous excitability, irritability, neryous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other.
distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the generative of women. induces refreshing relieves mental anxiorgans, ety and despondency. In complicated cases, or the kidneys or liver are affected, the blood where impure, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should be taken conjointly with the use of the "Favorite Prescription," according to directions, around en each bottle. When Dr.
Pierce published the first edition of his work, The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, he announced that after 680,000 copies had been sold at the regular price, $1.50 per copy, the pront on which would repay him 1 for the great amount of labor and money expended in producing it, he would distribute the next half million FREE. As this number of copies has already been sold, he is now distributing, ABSOLUTELY FREE, 500,000 copies of this most complete, interesting and valuable com- mon sense COUPON medical No. 125. work ever published- the recipient only being required to mail to him, or the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. of which he is president, this little COUPON NUMBER with twenty-one (21) cents in one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing, and the book will be sent by post.
It is a veritable medical library, complete in one volume. It contains over 1,000 pages and more than 300 illustrations, some of them in colors. Several finely illustrated chapters are devoted to the careful consideration in plain language, of diseases peculiar to women and their successful without the aid of a physician having to submit to treatment dreaded "examinations" and the stereotyped "local applications," SO repulsive to the modest and justly sensitive WOman. The FREE EDITION is precisely the same as that sold at $1.50, except only. that the books are bound in strong manilla paper covers instead of cloth.

Smith, not far from Lake George, on Wednesday last, three men in a boat, not to mention Clay Colz, the guide, were rowing on the lake. The men were Millard F. Smith, Dr. J. Gilbert Gulick and Edward Throckmorton.
The unusual sight of a bear swimming across a narrow part of the lake attracted their attention, and they resolved to head him off. The bear seemedAto think it a good day to get acquainted, and made for the boat. This was more than had been bargained for. They were not "loaded for bear," having only a shot gun and an ax, but they resolved to make a desperate fight. Dr.
Gulick gave the bear a severe headache, emptying both barrels of the shotgun into it. The effect. however, was only to irritate, and the bear tried to climb into the boat. Then he got what the chicken got, but not In the same place. He got the ax and hie skull was finally crushed in.
The remains weighed 334 pounds, and were shipped to Brooklyn. The three men in the boat, all members of the Hanover Club, on Monday night gave a bear roast dinner to twenty-five members of the club at the clubhouse, Bedford avenue and Rodney street, and it was greatly enoyjed. GETS A $2.000 PLACE. COL. CHARLES B.
MORTON A CHIEF CLERK OF ORDINANCES. City Clerk Benjamin has appointed Col. Charles, B. Morton, of. the Twentyfifth ward, a clerk in his office to a position, which will be known as Chief Clerk of Ordinances, at a salary of $2,000 a year.
Col. Morton's appointment is made from the eligible list. Col. Morton has been a well known Republican in Brooklyn for many years, and was a member of the Republican County Committee for twenty years. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, and the expert who drew up the Assembly apportionment scheme.
DEATH OF A BATHER, GALLANTLY RESCUED, ONLY' TO DIE ON THE SHORE. Henry Schatt, laged 30 years, of 423 East Fourteenth street, New York City, got beyond his depth at Coney Island Monday night, and being unable to swim, lost his life, in spite of efforts made to rescue him. Thomas French, of 566. Vanderbilt avenue, and Andrew Adams, of the Brighton Beach race track, swam to his aid, and finally got him ashore, but he died of exhaustion shortly afterward.

SHE IS A CHARMING, WELL-EDUCATED, ATTRACTIVE WIFE AND MOTHER, AND SETS A SPLENDID EXAMPLE TO AMERICAN WOMEN -BABIES THAT WERE BORN' IN THE WHITE HOUSE. (Special to The Standard Union.) Washington, July President and Mrs.
Cleveland would undoubtedly have been a happier if their third child had been a boy. wBut that does, not make the newcomer Gray Gables on Sunday. any less welcome. It had been President's ambition to have a son, and another girl has been a slight disappointment. The President loves children too much, taking more pleasure and happiness in playing with the little ones than in statecraft, to be unkind in his welcome to the little daughter, though he did want a son so much.
Whatever the opinion of the people of United States of Mr. Cieveland as a President, and a statesman, there is no question but that they are unanimous in their admiration of his family relations. Frequently scandal mongers and unkind gossips: delight in talking about the President's alleged unkindness to his wife. But those who are near him and who know him particularly, say that there is and never has been any proof for such assertions. To be sure, the President is a little strict with his wife in regard to what she can do.
He does not favor the new woman idea, and is old-fashioned enough to believe that woman is most attractive as a mother and wife. He does not disapprove at all of woman's advancement, nor. has he any opposition to her entering into any line of employment that is honorable; but he does dislike to see her go into sports that are essentially rough, and which, ten or twenty years ago, would have been considered unwomanly. While Mrs. Cleveland is a domestic woman, she had at one time an ambition to play golf, but the matter was broached to Mr.
Cleveland he firmly but kindly declined to consider it, both because he did not like it as a recreation for a woman and because also that he thought it was, rather an undignified amusem*nt wife of a President of the United States. When Mrs. Carlisle was first considering bicycling, and before she had become adept at It, Mrs. Cleveland had the idea that possibly she would like ride a cycle. The suggestion of this to the President met with the same response as the golf idea, and SO Mrs.
Cleveland does not play golf and does not ride a wheel. She is simply a charming, well educated, attractive wife and mother, and, while she likes society well enough, has never fussed and fumed to be a member of any "smart set." As a girl, she did not belong to the "smart set" of Buffalo nor pine away because she did not. Her people were good, honest, wellbred Americans, and that was sufficient for her. Now that she is the wife of the President, she is necessarily the "first lady of the land," and by bearing good, healthy children, she sets an example to all American womankind. The tendency of American families, particularly in the highest classes, toward fewer children, has been rebuked by the increasing size of the President's family, and is a lesson to the country.
It is said by those who ought to be informed that Mrs. Cleveland never purchased any baby clothes. She has an old-fashioned way of being very particular about her babies' clothes, and insists that they shall be, made in accordance with her ideas and by a seamstress in the house. The clothes for little Ruth were made by the same woman who made the dainty white slips for Esther and for the net daughter. It is said that every yard of cloth used these children's clothes is purchased Mrs.
Cleveland for, herself. They are of fine quality, not at all extravagant, but pretty and sensibly plain. The clothes for the elder children are often bought ready-made, the mother purchasing the simplest toilets for her children, though they are always of fine material. Only one of the President's three daughters was born in the White House, and that was Esther, who came to the President's family on the 9th of September, 1893. Little Ruth was born Oct.
3, 1891, in the Fifty-third street (New York) home of the President. On the 9th of September, 1893, shortly after 2 o'clock, President Cleveland, with a beaming smile on his face, walked into the office of Private Secretary Thurber, and, as he approached, Mr. Thurber, being a family man himself, knew that the event had happened, and said: "Is it--?" Before he could complete the sentence, the President, with a smile, said: "Another girl." He was so happy by the addition to his family, that the first regret because the child was not a boy, disappeared with the dr thought, and so it is said to have been with his third child. Little Esther was christened in White House on the 19th of September, 1894, by Dr. Sunderland, the pastor of the President's church, while on the 9th of June, 1892, Dr.
William Merle Smith of New York baptized Ruth in Lakewood, N. J. Everybody in the White House, and everybody in Mrs. Cleveland's household, from the lowest servant to the intimates of the family, are devoted Cleveland. She makes everybody' at home, is kind, gentle, thoughtful, yet dignifled, with all those qualities that make en American home most happy.
At Gray Gables Mrs. Cleveland has been accustomed to arise in the morning, when she slips away to the nursery to see her little ones, playing with them until breakfast, which she eats with them, and then she joins the President, when he is at his breakfast. The children dine when the family lunch, a typical home gathering, where intimate friends are welcomed. The children nap in the afternoon, as all well-cared-for children do. The President takes a fishing excursion at that time, while Mrs.
Cleveland drives, or calls on those with whom she is particularly friendly. It is said that she often sings her children to sleep with the old lullabys which have put many a child to slumber. Mrs. Cleveland's children are always bright, sweet-tempered, yet spirited, To one who has to visit the White House frequently, It is always a pleasure to meet them with their nurses, as they are going to or coming from a drive, for there is no haughtiness, and no mean selfishness, so often noticeable in little children. Unkind and cruel stories have been printed that one or the other is not bright, but, despite all this, the children are as bright, and chatter as much as ordinary children do, and there is, and has never been, any reason or ground for saying that they were, or are, In any way afflicted.
stories are unworthy of their authors, and cruel to the mother. It was in 1830 that the first White House baby was born. This was A girl, the daughter of Mrs. Andrew Jackson Donaldson, a niece of President Johnson. Mr.
Donaldson was. the President's private This frst White House clerk in the patoretary, Treasury Department, old and grayheaded. Strange as it may seem, on that September day in 1893, when little Esther was born, the first White House baby wa's sitting at ther desk in the Treasury, less than a hundred yards distant from the scene of the birth of the last White House child. Miss Donaldson married a Mississippi Congressman, Gen, Wilcox, who died before the war. Her father was a foreign Minister once, and also a candidate for the Vice-Presidency.
What money and propenty she had was. lost in the war. This first White House baby had a brother and sister, John Samuel Donaldson, and Rachel Jackson Donaldson, born in the White House, but they died in infancy. The fourth White House baby was Richard Tyler Jones, a grandson of Tyler, and a son of his daughPresidents, who married a' South Carolinian, Capt. Jones.
The child entered Confederacy, serving as a captain. He died a short time ago in Washington, bitterly poor and unhappy. After the war he came to Washington, where his uncle, President Tyler's son, was in the Treasury department. Capt. Henry Lightfoot Jones, the fourth White House baby, secured his uncle's position when latter became paralyzed, dividing the salary with him.
It is the irony of fate that this child born in the White House should have been compelled only a few months ago to accept a position in the Post Office department as a laborer at $50 a month, at the hands of Postginia. He was only able work one Wilson. West Virode day, and then went home and died in poverty. His aunt, Mrs. Lettitia Tyler Semple, who was once the 'first lady of the now lives in the Louise Home, built by Mr.
Corcoran's generosity, for Decayed Gentlewomen, and she has $8 a month as a pension as the widow of a soldier of the Mexican War. It was not until -President Grant's term that another White House baby was born, when Col. Fred. Grant's wife bore Julia Dent Grant, who was christened in the blue room. Little Esther was the sixth baby to be born in the White House.
It appears that two of these were boys and four girls. The fact that a child is born in the White House, apparently does not make its fate any better, for it appears that the first White House baby is a clerk in the Treasury department, that Tyler Jones, another one, died the other day in poverty, and that two of the three Donaldsons died in infancy. It is improbable that Col. Grant's daughter, or Mrs. Cleveland's daughter, Esther, will share as unkind fates as the other White House babies, and 1 it is to be (hoped that they will not.

PROF. EDWARD D. COPE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA ON "THE PRESENT PROBLEMS OF ORGANIC NE- CESSITY FOR INTELLECTUAL INDEPENDENCE. Prof. Edward D.
Cope of the University of Pennsylvania delivered the opening address at the Greenacre Conference of Evolutionists at Eliot, Saturday, afternoon, July 6, his topic "The Present Problems of Organic Evolution." He held the close attention on of his hearers, in a most interesting address of an hour and a half. After speaking of the necessity of freemind from bias and prejudice, he defined evolution as a development of all things by means of intrinsic changes rather than by external coercion-the motive power proceeding from within rather than from without. There are two schools of he declared, one advocating the theory of preformation, i. that all the functions and qualities of the highest organisms exist potentially in the germ cell from the beginning, and are transmitted unchanged from generation to generation; the other, the theory of epigenesis, which holds that variations are created by use or disuse of functions sometime by geographical and other. external conditions, and the results of these variatione, preserved by natural selection, are transmitted by heredity, thus in with time, by the an interaction of the organism higher forms of organic life evolving out of all the the environment, simple protoplasmic cell.
The first phenomenon to for is be accounted that of variation. This lected by Darwin was negof and the older school evolutionists, but seems to me of the highest importance. The school of evolutionists, known prevailing as the of neo-Lamarckian, variations largely accounts for the origin by the effects of use and disuse. The inheritance of variations must also be assumed upon the theory of epigenesis. It is the explanation of heredity which is the most diffcult problem, and around this question now centres the scientific contests of the present day.
Contrary to the views of Weismann, Poulton, and others of the neo-Darwinian school, Prof. Cope held that the fact of the inheritance of acquired characteristics must be conceded. Variations, he affirmed, exist in the embryo, before it sees the it has any experience in contact with the external world. This fact could not be accounted for on the theory of preformation. Mechanical perfection in organisms is also a result of evolution.
The lower organisms are relatively imperfect. The early articulations of the bones are very slight and easily dislocated, but as we ascend the scale we find the joints more closely interlocking and less easily displaced. Prof. Cope strongly combatted the materialistic conception that all growth and assimilation axe the result of purely chemical processes. Hunger, he said, is a sensation; a form of consciousness.
Is it chemical affinity leads an amoeba to seek the light rather than the dark side of a vessel in which it is placed? He did not think so. It doubtless seeks the light because it feels better under its influence. The chief reasons for. movement in the lower organisms are hunger, the avoidance of unpleasant extremes of heat and cold, and the necessity reproduction. All these are physical in their characterthey come under the head of sensation or consciousness.
Motions of inorganic matter, or the contrary, are unconscious and I development of the animal kingdom is mech. nical. The a upward or progressive chiefly due. to the production of variations through their consciously directed activities, The vegetable world, on the contrary, is unconscious. It must be regarded as a degenerative product of evolution.
Some animal parasites have become so degenerate that they simply digest and reproduce. In conclusion, Prof. Cope dwelt on the great and fundamental importance of keeping alive and active by rational exercise the faculty of the higher consciousness in human beings. Intellectual parasitism is the greatest danger to which human societies are subjected. It leads to individual degeneracy and social dissolution.
RARE BOOKS SOLD. N. Q. POPE OF THIS CITY DISPOSES OF HIS LIBRARY. N.
Q. Pope of this city has sold his fine library of from 7,000 to 10,000 volumes to Dodd, Mead the publishers. How much he received for it has not transpired. He had asked $200,000. This sum, of course, would be a fancy price for ordinary books- even of 10,000 volumes-but these were extraordinary books.
Of this matter the "Critic" says: "We know that a high price was paid, and that the transaction was a very important The collection, we believe, was realist made by the late Mrs. Rope, whose and liberality as a book buyer were well known among the dealers in rare books. In June, 1891, a wellknown Shakespearean scholar wrote to the editors of the 'Critic': 'Can you tell me anything of Mrs. Abby E. Pope of Brooklyn? I should like to know something of the lady who gave nearly £2,000 for the only perfect copy of Malory's 'Morte which our British Museum strangely did not buy when it was sold a few years The late Gordon L.
Ford of Brooklyn was at once applied to for the desired information. Not knowing what the 'Critic's' correspondent wished to learn, he replied: 'I know both Mr. and Mrs. Pope as enthusiastic book lovers and collectors, having, in special lines, a library equaled by Now the lady is dead; and the British Museum has a chance to redeem itself. It is the intention of Dodd, Mead to sell the library en bloc, if possible." BURCKHARDT'S ROMANCE.
HIS MARRIAGE TO HIS FIRST WIFE'S NURSE UNHAPPY. Henry C. Burckhardt, a well-to-do produce merchant of this city, is being sued in the New York courts for a limited divorce by his second wife, whom he met as a nurse for the first Mrs. Burckhardt, who died in 1893. He liked the nurse so well that he sent her to Chito get a divorce from her first huscago band, and then they were married in Jersey City.
Mrs. Burckhardt, who now lives at 208 West Thirty-sixth street, New York City, says they were never happy after marriage, and that he and his children treated her badly. ELLIOTT'S MISSION, TO A SLICE OF THE BIG BARGET. ESTATE FOR THREE BROOKLYN WOMEN. George F.
