In September, 1892, the daughter of the blacksmith in Canna, an island of the Hebrides, was wandering on the shore gathering driftwood for fuel, when in a small bay about a hundred yards distant from her father’s house she picked up a plece of wood bearing the inscription, cut with a knife, “Lachlan Campbell, Bilbao, March 23, 1892." On taking it to her moth- er she became concerned, as this was the name of her own son, who was a boiler- maker in Spain, and, as would be the case with most people, certainly with high- landers, she could not get over the super- stitious dread that this message from the sea was the harbinger of evil tidings re- garding her son. The family of the proprietor did its best to calm her terror, exhorting her to wait for an explanation. When writing to her son she told him of what had happened and was greatly relieved on receiving a reply essuring her of his well-being, but was as- tonished to learn that he perfectly remem- bered how when on a holiday he had writ- ten, as describeq@ on a piece of wood and had idly thrown it into the sea from a rock near Bilbao. We all know the power of ocean currents and need not be surprised at this piece of wood jhaving been carried about for six months, but the marvelous, and, except for undoubted evidence, the incredible circam- Stance in this case is that this plece cf wood, after its long drifting, should have been washed on the shore within a hun- dred yards of where tht writer’s mother lived, and that it should be picked up by one of his own family and taken home. Had any novelist dared to picture a mes- sage delivered as this was by means of an ocean current every reader and certainly every critic would have denounced the out- rageous demand on faith. And yet the ap- parently impossible actually occurred in Canna. Pianos This Week.

Fiom the Philadelphia Record. The precocious frankness and simplicity of a class of six-year-olds has been fore- ibly impressed upon one of the teachers in the new Blaine school, at 13th and Norris streets, during the past few days. Pre- paratory to opening the school the children are being registered, and their answers to the questions put to them are often quite ludicrous. One of the teachers asked a youngster what was his father’s name. “Baxter,” was the reply. “What is his full name?” “Mister Baxter,” said the boy. “No, no,” the teacher continued, rather “what is his first name?” A gleam of comprehcnsion brightened the @'s face, and he blurted out: “Ma calls ham ‘Bill! ” In order to determine another little fel- Place of nativity, he was asked: Were you born here?” With all seriousness he responded: I was borned on Tyler street.” 2oe Who Mande the Man. ‘man's “Rhymes of an Engineer.”* r the whistle sounding, moving alr I feel, in goes by me MOrer tirobbing ties Goa.

CURIOSITY, AT: THE WEDDING —-——. Special -Gerrespondence of ‘The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 8, 1805. One of the results of the recent republi- can victories may be the éléection of Thomas C. Platt to the United Statés Senate. Mr. Platt controlled’ thé last legislature; he will control the next. The resuit of the contest in the state last Tuesday confirmed his standing as the “bos¥’ of his party. He won the fight in the state, just as surely esa his opponents in the ranks of his ow party lost the fightin this city to Tam- many. Mr. Strong and Mr. Roosevelt pre- ferred to do what wae right rather than what was politic. Hence the defeat of the republican county ticket. But Mr. Rodse- velt, in particular, is just as happy as though ‘Tammany had not won in the local battle. He simply believes the people who voted to put Tammany back in power are Dlind to their own interests. Mr. Platt had nothing to lose in the city; for his masterly Gampaign in the state promised such a tremendous majority that he could afford to let the city take care of itself without fear of the general result. He knew, of course, that to refuse to com: bine with the fusionists would Iay him open to charges of disloyalty. So he made the combination, and it was even given out at Mr. Platt’s office just before election day that he expected the fusion ticket to win. To Name the Next Senator. Now Mr. Platt is in position to say “I told you so.” He ts also in position to name thg next Senator from New York state.There is little doubt in the minds of those who know him that he will name himself. Though he served such a short term in the Senate befo-e his resignation, he has been jealous always of the*dignity attaching to his position as ar “ex.” Most of his busi- ness mail comes to him addressed ‘Hon. T. C. Platt.” Even the officers of his own express compary do him this honor. He is addressed in conversation almost invari- ably as “Senator,” and I am told he re- sents any other title, or even the absence of a title, whether in conversation or in correspondence. He is not beyond being vexed at the association of “Tom” Platt and “Dick” Croker in cartoon. Altogether, he indicates in every: possible way-the pride he feels in having been at one time a rep- resentative of the great stute of New York im the Senate of the United States. To a visitor, recentiy,”Mr. Platt said that he remained acti¥e’ In politics because it amused him, truch as a game of chess would do. It 4s dimost the only amuse- ment he allows Hfinself. He is one of the very few active business men who cannot say that they havé no time for public ser- vice. Mr. Plaft could not well give more attention to t @aties of a United States Senator than he gives to state politics to- day It absorbs two-thirds of his time at Some people: ho read this paragraph may be surpriséd’to learn that Mr. Platt is rot now a meiithét of the Senate. He has been exploited’ sé tonstantly as “Senator” Platt that a #reat many people have not come to a realization of the fact that he has not been fn the Senate for mearly fif- teen years. ,fact that there has been was called info the lobby of the Senate often by people who supposed he was the “Senator Piatt” whd was Conkling’s as- soctate in 1881.’ The Garficld-Coaking Feud. If Mr. Platt is elected to the Senate the old Garfield-Conkling feud will be recalled vividly and the fact, so little understood, that Mr. Platt was not Conkling’s imitator but his model in one particular will be made more conspicuous than it has been in the past. Only once has the fact that Mr. Platt prepared his resignation without con- sulting Conkling been published; and few saw that publication or believed it. It is a fact that Mr. Platt prepared to resign af- ter the nomination of Robertson without consulting Conkling; and when he informed Conkling of his determination, Conkling asked hinr to wait until he could deter- mine what he would do. Finally Conkling determined to resign also, and the tw resignations were sent in together. The fact that Conkifhg was the chief figure in the quarrel of the two New York Senators with Garfield led every one to believe that, Conkling initiated the resignations and that Platt was his imitator; hence the title “Me-too Platt” which the short term Sen- ator carried about fot sc long a time. New York and the Presidency. The result in New York means much, too, in the national convention which will meet next summer. As the controlling spirit of the republican party in the state of New York, Mr. Platt will name the can- didate of the state if he wishes to do so; and New York will have a voice out of Proportion to her vote in naming the nomi- nee of the convention. It is of interest to know who will be Mr. Platt’s candidate for the presidency next summer. Mr. Morton is Mr. Platt’s announced choice; but Mor- ton is commonly believed to be only a stalk- ing horse for some one else. Those who have talked with the governor recently say there is little doubt he is a candidate for the nomination, but whether Mr. Platt is supporting him seriously is quite another thing. Dr. Depew was a candidate before the convention which nominated Harrison, but he never stood a show of getting the nomination and the New York delegation never thought he did. He was used as 2 cloak for the trading the New Yorkers wanted to do. So Mr. Morton may be put forward as Sei eter mask for the leaders of the New York delegation, whose chief will be Mr. Piatt. Mr. Platt’s choice is commonly believed to be Mr. Reed of Maine. Mr. Quay, Bowever, says Mr. Platt did not give him recently’ the impression that he was fog-Ree@. And it is not unlike- ly Mr. Platt is for a) western rather than an eastern eandidete: feeling here that ’¥or there Is a strong Some western man will get the: mm lion. If Mr. Platt’s choice is named, Mr, Platt will not care to enter thes Senate, Probably he will have again the w Bees a Place in Iethe next” Se figrptanding he had with Mr. He is to be appointed to a inet of the next President, ment is a republican. om the Ticket.

He was not considered very seriously, be- cause it was not belleved he could carry his own state. There seems every likelihood wet the fight’'n Kentucky next year will fought oyt on virtually the same lines as the fight just ished. The same adminis- exten influéned will be at work to prevent a declaration in the state convention in fa- vor of free 'silvér; and there ts little doubt that the democratic national candidate will be an anti-silver man.

If the Vander- bilt-Marlborough wedding had not fol- lowed the election so quickly, there would have been almost nothing to supply the b'ase New Yorker with a topic of local in- terest. But the wedding fs something to be time to come. The presence of 200 police. men in uniform at the church, and of a | squad of fifty uniformed officers at the hcuse, to say nothing of the army of detec- | tives ‘scattered through the crowd which | struggted to get a glimpse of the bride and groom would be enough to make the eveni notable of itself. The Earl of Craver wedding was not more remarkable for the stood without the church than was the | Vanderbilt wedding last Wednesday. And SENATOR| j talked about and laughed over for a long | | curious crowd which attended unasked and | the remarkable feature of the intensely vu!- gar exhibition was that the people whg ‘ushed and shoved each other and craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the bride were well dressed, and presumably of fair Sccial standing. If they had been of the rag-tag and bob-tail, such as surrounds the carriages of the people who are await- ing a presentation to Queen Victoria, ong would not be disposed to criticise. No won- der the London papers make sneering re marks about our vulgarity. There is cer- tainly an immoderate and immodest eurios- ity in the American people, and especially in the people of New York, who are so boastful of their “‘cosmopolitanism.” ——————— FOIBLES OF FASHION. Particulars of a Man’s Dress That Bear Witness of His Taste. From the Clothier and Furnisher. Dress may not make the man, but dress unquestionably Iends 50 per cent of value in the eyes of the public to a man “as is a man.” There are three other particulars in a man’s dress that bear witness of his taste and character fully as much as a faultlessly fashionable suit; the first his hat, next his shoes and not the least im- portant his neck dressing. No one can de- ny that even a shabby suit of clothes is throwr comparatively into the shade if the man wearing it displays stylish headgear, carefully kept shoes cnd a scarf of the latest creation. The fin de siecle fashior prophet is. once more abroad in the land, and finds many a willing ear for his ofttimes ludicrous pen Pictures.. But no one can dispute his claim of the increasing popularity of knicker- becker costumes for every kird of sport— bicycling, golfing, hunting, skating, tour- ing, etc. Whether, as he says, their usage for these pastimes is but the forerunner of their universal adoption for every-day wear isa question that Dame Fashion, in her own good way, will finally determine. The change, if made, would be such a radical one that it would be difficult to state where the seed first took root. Most likely ‘“‘anti- trousers” societies would be inaugurated throughout the country by the leading spir- its in the revolution, and the members thereof sworn to advocate the use of and wear knee breeches. However, it will be a good many moons befere the nucleus grows. Double-breasted frock ccats are being worn both here and abroad, and are made principally from gray rough Scotch home- spuns. Brown effects in Scotch goods and unfinished worsteds are popular for walk- ing coats and sults, and these materials:are | eccasionally secn made up in the double- breasted frock style. Trcvserings of black or dark ground, with light colored stripes, are very much used for semi-dress; shep- herd’s plaids are increasing in popularity. Quite a number of double-breasted vests are in evidence. Styles and Colors in Neckwear. With a steady and unmistakable forward step the Ascot scarf is making its way in- ta the good graces of the swell dressers: The scarf producers report quite an influx of orders on this style of neckdregs, and do not hesitate to say that the advent of cold weather will find the Ascot a potent-mover in the tle trado. The vacillating fancies of fashion are strongly brought out through the sudden taking on of the narrow club tie and the equally sudden turn about to scarfs of pon- derous proportions. No telling what will come next. There’s seemingly no let up in the de- mand for De Joinvilles. A particularly at- tractive production of this fcrm of scarf was introduced this season measuring eight inches across. They were brought out in very heavy matt on basket weaves and weighty doutle-over twills, bringing the price up to $30 a dozen. The lower grades have shown a continual activity, which is surprising, to say: the least. Some outre colorings are going to pop out in a few days—tans, new blues and new reds, with a liberal sprinkling of odd greens. It is apparent from the displays of neck- wear made by the most prominent retail dealera that the two prevailing colors this fall are red and green.. The latter color appears !n many of the rich qualities of silks, ranging from dark myrtle to apple green, and the different tints are go artis- tierlly and tastefully irterwoven with other colors that the objecticnable feature of this color, taking it as used in men’s neckwear, is entirely obliterated. and any one, no matter what his complexion, can wear this at present fashionable color. eee STRATTON OF CRIPPLE CREEK. A Story of Good Luck That Was All the More Welcome After Hard Luck. From the Chicago Times-Herald. With a letter of introduction from T. C. Parrish, one of the most agreeable of Col- oradoans; we went down Rattle mountain in search of the only man in the world, I believe, who is the sole owner of a bonanza. The stories told about Mr. Stratton sound like firy tales, which they are. “It was just luck, and mighty good luck at that,” says one Colorado Springs man. “Stratton was a Carpenter by trade. When the Cripple Greek excitement began he walked up the mountain to save stagefare, threw his hat on the ground, planted a stake where it fell, and drew a prize.” “Nothing of the sort,” retorts, a clever banker. “‘Stratton has been a miner for years. All the money he made in carpen- try he put into prospecting, and was thor- oughly acquainted with the practical de- tails of mining. It’s a business like every other industry. Stratton had taken a course in assaying at the Colorado College, and was well read in mining before he located the Independence. His success is due to pluck, patience and intelligence.” Born in Indiana in 1848, W. S. Stratton moved to Colorado in 1872. Having saved $3,000 in working at his trade, he was in- duced to invest it in an alleged mine that proved to be a fraud. After trying placer mining in the Arkansas valley, Mr. Strat- ton betook himself to Leadville, then to Breckinridge, but with poor success. turning to his original venture, the aban- doned Yrebata, in the San Juan country, Stratton relocated it at the Black Crook and actually struck a small pocket of ore. While it was in sight he wanted to sell the mine for $7,000. His partners objected, be- cause they thought they had “struck it rich.” The poeket came to an end, and then this wise carpenter-miner swore unto himself that he’d never have another part- ner if he could help tt. Hardly a camp in Colorado but was exploited by Stratton. Among the first to investigate Cripple Creek, he discovered on Gold Hill gold “by the aid of a blowpipe. Locating the Gold King, Stratton disposed of his interest for a small sum, experimented at several points with partners, who at last gave him up in despair, leaving him master of the field. Sending» some rock to Colorado Springs to be assayed, Stratton located two claims along the edge from which he had taken the sample. It was the morning of July 4, 1801, What mere natural than for a good American to name one claim Independence and the other Washington? Though the sample assayed showed $394 in gold, not another bit of rock could Strat- ton get to show up well. Experts said his claims were worthle: his friends shook their heads with pity. On worked Strat- ton, borrowing money when he had a chance, never losing heart. At last he struck good ore in the Washington. He soon after sold it for $80,000, receiving $10,- 000 in cash. What happened next? A few days after the Washington sale gold vanished like an iridescent dream, and the mine reverted to him for non-fulfillment of contract. Sinee then the lost ore chute has been relocated. Debts and work on the Independence soon ate up the 310,000 received as part payment on the Washington. As Stratton found very little ore his friends begged him to desist. He replied that he'd die first. He felt sure there was a great ore chute near by, and he'd find it or perish in the at- tempt. ‘Tis a long lene that has no turning. One day “Stratton, the hermit,” sent a load of boulders lying on his property to be tested at the stcmp gills. They yielded $12 to the ton. From the spot where the first assay was taken began the ore chute, which has been followed ever since, growing richer day by day. Experts who pitied Stratton for being such a persevering fool now de- clare the Independence to be the richest mine in the world so far-as developed. Next Thing in Order. From the Louisville ‘Truth Clerk (to a lady who has purchased a pair of silk stockings)—“Anything else?” Fair Customer—“‘Yes. Where shall I find umbrellas?" —_+__-+e+ Prejudice. From the Indianapolis Journal. “Why is it you have so violent an antipathy to Righter’s works? You never read any of them?” “No; but I smoked one of the cigars named after him, once.” THE EPICURE’S JOY Toothepme Dismond Backs Aro Already in the Market. DECREASING SUPPLY OF TERRAPIN They: Wilt Disappear Entirely in a Few Years Unless Propagated. HOW THEY ARE CAPTURED ‘The approach of cold weather always means to the epicure the delight of discuss- ing his favarite dish—the diamond-back ter- rapiz. The first terrapin appear in the market the ist of October, and from thence on. until about: Christmas the supply in- creases, and reaches its climax on New Year day. ft Is, however, only a question of @ few-yéars, at:the. present rate of de- crease, before the delights of a stew~—a la Maryland—will be a dream of the past. The species used to be common along the entire Atlantic ccast, but now. the dealers get their principal supply from the Chesapeake and its tributaries, and from Roanoke Island and the neighboring sounds. Tive years ago you could get ‘‘counts’’—the regular com- mercial size—for from thirty to fifty dollars a dozen, but now those from the Chesapeake cost from sixty to seventy-five dollars a dozen, with a.ccol hundred as a fancy price. About the only thing that will prevent ex- tinction is propagati¢n by man and strin- gent laws against their capture in the natural state. pouakhda of of as, re are. tho of acres was land along the shore lines of Maryland, Vir- ginia and the Carolinas which would yield a fine investment if used for terrapin propa- gation, but one must.wait.a long time before the dividends ure in sight. Capturing Térrapin. There. ape_about, six -djfferent ways of catching ‘the terrapin, though some are known onty4o’parttevia# tocalities, and one or two have nearly gone.out of fashion. In the days when they were plenty “bucking” was the method used altogether. Bucking is only another namp for seining. The seines used were from.60 to 9) fathoms long and from eighteen to twenty feet deep. The fisherman in the batteaux would ascend the little creeks Gnd seining ‘it spots edges aoe were sup! to be plenti- blohty! the Binge ie fixed. ‘The net was thrown out in the form of a circle, and_ immediately hauled in rapidly, or the game would.eacape by going down into the mud. The colored people’ St'North Carolina have a way of their own,...Armed with pine torches, they visit beaches of sand at night and catch the te ag they come out on the sand to deposit their eggs. This manner of hunting is followed: only in the spawn- ing season. Sttltanother way is to use the “terrapin dredge,” somewhat similar to an cyster dredge. They are operated in the same manner wtsoystér tredges, but have to be hauled up oftener. Dredging is done chieffy tn the fall and wdmter; when the ter- rapin are’“bedded” in the mud. Neither of the three methods.-just explained are as much used nowadays as are one or two others. + 4 Trapping and Hunting. Traps catch nearly as many and besides allow of a man following, somé other occu- pation, The traps resemble the lobster pots along: the Jersey eeast;*but:they nrust be secured on the. surfate,of.the water. They are funnel-shaped, and baited with fish or crabs. One would "nét think dogs of much account at terrapin hunting, but the dogs of Roanoke Island have a nase for terrapin and they can hang. en.to the scent of a diamond back in any place? They are used either to follow the track from the water ine. to the. place where the eggs are depos- ited in the breeding season or to toHow the trail through the marshes in winter. In the hibernating season a little mound of mud is always raised above the spot where Mr. Diamond. Back disappears, and along the Chesapeake the color:d men go through the rharshes with a long pole and a bag. When th oe Aly gf one of these little hills, down plunket ‘he Pole, and almost certainly:.it is stopped after a few feet by the back of a terrapin. This is the com- monest of all ways. Breeding. Terrapin. Waste marsh land bordering on any salt water is suitable for propagating terrapin, and the raising of diamond backs for the market should be a profitable investment. A number, mesthy females, should be put in an inclosure,ef several acres, through which a tide stream or inlet must pass. A board fence a few feet im height and sunk in the marsh a foot or so to preveat the terrapins from working thefr way under is another necessity. In a marsh of several acres in extent the terrapin can generally find enough food to keep them above want, but as they are to be cultivated for the market plenty of food should be given them, and then they will grow notonly fat but fast. The diamond back species of terrapin is comparatively a small one, and varies much in external appearance. Females always attain a larger size than males and bring much better prices. An average length for the under part of the shell is seven inches, and a weight of from four to five pounds. It takes six years from the time the eggs are hatched for a terrapin to become a “count,” that is, between five and six inches. so that they can be depended upon to grow an inch a year. In ten years they are fully grown, though they probably in- crease in weight a little after that. The breeding season is in the latter part of June and early part of July, and each fe- male deposits from five to seven eggs in a hole in the sand. Nobody can say exactly what the terra- pin feed upon in the natural state, though it is probable that animal and vegetable matter found in the swagps forms a large part of their diet. In the pound, however, fish, and now and then varied by oysters and crabs, should be given to them occa- sionally until. the latter part of September. The first specimens to appear in the local markets ar3 from our neighboring waters, and they are already for sale, while in a week or so those from North Carolina will be offered. Philadelphia furnishes the best market, and then New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and Washington. Num- bers also go west to Cincinnati and St. Louis, while a few find their way to Lon- den’ and Paris. There are two principal recipes emplayed in the preparation for the table. One is the Maryland style and the other the Philadelphia, with the odds on the former. Here is the southern dish—a la Maryland: First, throw the diamond back alive into warm water, and then remove the skin and claws, a second immersion following. The under shell is then cut away, and the gall bladder and liver taken out. Care should be taken in the latter operation to remove the gall without breaking it. Stew the ter- rapin until thoroughly cooked. The stew is then garnished with eggs, cream, butter, spices and, when ready for the table, a lit- tle port or sherry is added. The difference between this and the Philadelphia style consists in adding terrapin eggs when the latter mode is used. —.__ The New Mystery Story. The opening chapter of the new mystery story is printed in today’s Star. Yester- day was printed the next to the last in- stallment of the mystery stcry which has appeared in dafiy chapters in The Star during the past few weeks, and which proved so yopelar that arrangements were made to follow it with the one which be- gins today. The new story fs entitled “Re- fore They Were Married,” and will be found to be of commanding interest, and those who read the first chapters will fol- law Jt eagerly to the end of the absorbing mystery. Two hundred and fifty dollars in gold will be given for a correct solution of the mystery by a woman reader, according te the published conditions. —_— Appropriate. From Truth. A well-known dry goods store recently displayed the following placard: “Fine stock of kids. Assorted colors and sizes. Step in and examine them.” How it happened no one knows, but the next morning the sign was seen fastened at the entrance of the orphan asylum around the corner. UNIVERSITY NOTES. Howard University.

From the Philadelphia Times. “Where do false teeth come from?” said a well-known bone importer, echoing a question that had put to him. “Wouldn't you like to kncw. Most people, I imagine, think that all false teeth are made frem—— ivory. That is quite a mistaken idea, as the majority of false teeth are now made from anything but ivory. We import large quantities of walrus’ tusks for no other purpose than that they may be made into false teeth. You go into some big dental establishment where teeth are made and you will doubtless find’ the remains of wal- tus’ tusks lying arourd, and, indeed, a highly polished tcoth made from a walrus tusk 1s just as handsome, although not so las! as an ivory one. “A dentist once came to me for an ele- phant’s tusk, from which a good set of permanent teeth . polgpe be made for a wealthy client of his. He was to spare no expense. I found him a tusk, which, being an especially good one, I sold for $12.50 a pound, the usual price being from $2.50 to $3.50 a pound. I afterward ledrned that the dentist made $500 out of that set of teeth. “Of course, it would be impossible for dentists to sell téeth s0-cheaply as they do now if the teeth were all made from ele- phants’ tusks: As @ matter of fact, so many people are now wearing false teeth that % doubt if the ivory suitable for this purpose would ever be found, I am told a good many false teeth are being made from vegetable ivory, ivorine, etc. If so, the price of teeth must naturally’go down, and in time the toothless one will probably be able to replenish his mouth for an urdly low sum. A set of teeth for $1.25,” con- cluded the dealer, laughing, “would create @ boom in false teeth.” — New Kind of Pie. From the New York Sun. During a recent visit to southern.Ohio I came across a delectable dish’ which I think it worth while to present to an epicurious public, especially that part of the said pub- lic which does its eating in New England. This dish consisted of what is locally knowa as a “layer ple,” and was butit out of pump- kins and cranberries. That is, an open front or “unkivered” pumpkin pie an inch in thickness was laid as a foundation, and upon this was placed a cranberry pie,.on top of which was superimposed another pumpkin pie of the same proportions as the founda- tion pie. The work of construction being completed, the pie was cut as a jelly cuke would be cut, and finer eating I am at a loss to think of. I may add in this connection that this composite ple af marvelous tooth- someness was not partaken of at but one meal. It was served at breakfast, dinner and supper, and didn’t taste bad between meals. —_____+2+_____ rhe Banana Tarantula. From ths Atlanta Constitution. Pendleton of Valdosta a very large tarantula was found clinging to its nest under a bunch. of fine fruit. It was captured and killed. The nest, which resembles a cocoon, was then taken out and opened. It contained a perfect swarm of little tarantulas, which looked lke so many ants. They were pour- ed out on the ground nd saturated with oil and then burned. The little ones might not have been very poisonous, but the larger ones ure as deadly as a rattlesnake.
