RULED BY BRITAIN Women's Bicycle Suits Are Being Made on English Models, BIRDS AND FRUITS FO HAT DECORATISN ——— Fashion’s Varying Moods as Noted by a Newport Visitor. DRAPINGS OF LACE NEWPORT, July 3, 1806. F WHAT USE WAS it to conquer the bo!d Britons, or rather to scratch and claw the gripping hand of monarchy until it glad to let go? Of what avail the glories of the glorious Fourth, if the recon- quest of the revolted colontes 1s to be ac- complished by the dressmakers, and if all the heiresses of @emocracy are to sigh for the fleshpots of the aristocratic Egypt? In some things, though, even fashionable society has made a Declaration of Inde- pend It refused crinoline; tt has re- formed the corset; it has persisted in the use of the bicycle, despite those who would have frowne own. Yes, I really think fashionable society is more sensible now. ‘The main difference is that In these days every one tries to be more or less in the fashion instead of only a few; and hence a minor folly may do harm to a greater num- ber than of old. t that all fashion’s follies are harmful. Some ure merely amusing. To speak for a moment of man’s garb, it is now absolutely correct to patch a man’s bicycle suit right where the wear {s greatest with the same cloth as the cuff, or bottom, of the knickers, usuaily a fawn gray. And funny enough it looks, too. Of course, riding breeches have from time immemorial been patched with leather, but the scorcher on horseback doesn’t lean over unttl the backbone points to the horizon in both directions. Women’s bicycling suits after the British and inevitably inferior models have begun to appear. One of these is certainly straple— a plain gown of linen in narrow up-ai down stripes of bluish gray and white, with a white linen collar. There is a front platt with three white buttons, the sleeves are and the gown is simply belted at the aist. This fs light. cool and appropriate encugh, except that the skirt comes within six inches of the ground, and is, therefore, an emphatic nuisance, to which masculine tives might do justice, but mine would The average cycling skirt in New York ts fully four inches shorter than in Newport, and, being worn always over bloomers, seems to meet most objections of both the conservatives and radicals. A novel English boating and yachting gown has revealed itself in a blue serge and belero Jacket, with a wide belt corselet of plaid silk and an assortment of pretty silk blouse waists. The plaided coreelet is the only novel element In the scheme, and the effect is very pretty. ‘They keep talking and talking of smaller hats, but hats are no smaller. ‘The quilled frill of tulle makes even a moderate brim- med design look massive. A pretty variant is a Spanish hat of tulle and cream-colored the brim so straight and the lace so close quiiled and loose lying that the edge lcoks almost as thick as a tambourine. The crown is capped by just such another over- hanging net of lace, giving something of the beef-eater effect. White birds are a frequent decoration of the season's hats. Ospteys In green and violet are used with cream-colored lace and black velvet ribbons. Violet millinery takes Violet trimming of plumes and velvet— rather hot looking for any place less cool than Newport. ‘The most curfous fad of the moment in millinery is the frequent use of fruit in hat decoration. A red hat trimmed with cherries sounds rather odd, but it’s perfectly prac- ticable. A smail straw hat whose high crown is tied up with black velvet ribbons is decked neatly and not gaudily with cher- ries and currants. I have as yet seen no similar use made of watermelons. Embroidery is one of the darling devices of the year. About half the swell dresses ene sees have short embroidered jackets or short coats of China silk. Crepe de chine and foulard are perhaps two of the most fashionable materials of the hour for rath- y dres BLOGS POISON. SEM» S BLOOD of one pretty costume that has been much admired in Newport this week. The vest is of soft yellow accordion-plaited silk, partially veiled with ecrue guipure. Ther> is a high stock collar of velvet ribbon with at the sides and belt likewise. The pointed basques gives the key to the ket, which fs deck- old Sevres buttons. are getting to be works of art and almost tne most costly a s" of a new gown. A girl pointed a and adoraed a tale whose heroine herself day before yesterday when she me admire four faience buttons on her Ledice—four seems about the correct num- her somehow—and added: “And so cheap, too! JT only paid a dollar and a quarter each for them! A novel idea in making up grass lawn is to split it into ribbons by bands of in- sertion, through which baby blue or mauve ribbons can Le run. Stitching, sprigging and such lke de- Vices are in evidence upon the smartest new frocks of the season. A wedding reception gown of rich helio- trope green and gray shot satin was worn here the other day, whose bodice was of Louis Quinze brocaded velvet in harmoni- ous tints. Many of the drapings of lace suggest the fichu arrangement, and that is one of the sweetest and most womanly effects ever yet produced in the magic of dress. The young nulliionairesses of this be- millionatred town are not recognizable up- cn the street by any display of costly drese- ing. The usual effort with them is to em- ploy material of modest cost and put a great deal of money and intellect into the making. Of course costly material is in de- mand for ball and reception gowns, but for cutdoor dresses the simplest serges, lawns and canvases are made up in exquisite good taste. Several of the young creatures take delight in spending a good portion of the day in golfing or bicycle costume, and in the august neighborhood of the outer beach bathing 1s beginning to engross some at- tention. White lawn vests with tucks and frills in front and with real stiff turn-over collars are among the novelties. Two out of three smart street gowns have short jackets. Some of the white foulards of the season are decked with flounces of silk muslin, but in general the plain skirt holds its own pretty well. Book muslin, which may mean almost anything, but should mean a rather coarse mesh musiin of light color and substantial texture, is one of the popular summer ma- terials. LLEN OSBORNE. bade TAMING A HUMMING BIRD. A Naturalist Succeeds in Catching | One in His Hand. From Our Animal Friends. Several cases are on record of attemp:s to tame humming birds, but when placed in a cage they do not thrive, and soon die. The orange greves of southern California abound in these attractive creatures, and several can often be seen about the flower- ing bushes, seeking food or chasing each other in play. Once, when living on tne slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains, where they were very plentiful, I accom- plished the feat of taking one in my hand. I first noticed it in the garden, resting on a mustard stalk, and, thinking to see how near I could approach, I gradually moved toward it by pretending to be otherwise engaged, until I was within five feet of it. The bird looked at me calmly and I moved slowly nearer, whistling gently to attract its attention, as I began to think something was the matter with it. It bent its head upon one side, eyed me sharply, then: flew to another stalk a few feet away, contam- plating me as before. Again I approached, taking care not to alarm it, and this time I was almost within reaching distance be- fore it flew away. The bird seemed to have a growing con- fidence in me, and I became more and more deliberate in my movements until I finally stood beside it, the little creature gazing at me with {ts head tipped upon one side, as if questioning what I was about. I then withdrew and approached again, re- peating this several times before I stretch- ed out my hand to take {t, at which it flew to another bush. But the next time it allowed me to grasp it, and I had caught a wild bird open-handed without even the use of galt! Such irstances must be rare where birds are familiar with human beings. In some of the islands of the South Pacific birds have been found that had never seen a man before, and allowed themselves to be picked up, and even had to be pushed out of people’s way. One of the curious features of humming birds is that they are never found in Europe, being exculsively American, rang- ing in this country from the extreme north to the tropics, adding to the beauty of field and grove, being veritable living gems. Nothing can approach the humming bird in its gorgeousness of decoration. It is especially rich in metallic ‘ints, seemingly splashed with red, blue, green and other bronzes. Some appear to be decked in a ceat of mail, others blazing in the sunlight with beaddresses and breastplates that are dazzling to behold and defy description. The smallest of birds, they are one of the most beautiful of the many ornaments of our fields and gardens. oo —______ She Knew One Spanish Word. From the New York Evening Sun. “I shall never forget my first visit to Madrid,” said a woman the other evening, “I was the only member of our party who knew any Spanish, and I knew but one word, that one being ‘Ieche’—milk—but by means of gestures we managed to get along until breakfast was served. Then, as luck would have it, the maid brought my coffee without any milk, and, also as luck would have it, I promptly forgot the one word of Spanish that I knew, and which of all words was the one most want- ed at that moment. This time neither ges- tures nor yelling were of any avail, so at last in desperation I seized a ptece of paper and a pencil and drew a picture of a cow. Whereupon the maid tripped off and came back with three tickets to the bull fight.” er Se It Referred to the Dog. From ‘Tid-Bits. In a well-known street in London a beg- gar was often seen plodding about with a small dog. The dog was held by a piece of chain, and had round his neck a placard, with “Pity the blind” in large, red letters. Mr. T——, passing one day, dropped a six- ce into the man’s outstretched hand. “Hallca!” he cried, as he was turning away, “was that a half-sovereign I gave you?” No, sir—no,” answered the beggar; “only sixpence.” z “So,” said Mr. T—, “you are not blind, after all?” “Bless you, sir, no! he replied. “You see, the placard refers to the dog. He's bilnd—not I!” What They Wear and Something About the Proper Materials, Silk and Satin Bathing Suite—White is the Color When It is Not Prohibited. The very nicest material for a bathing it is silk of some kind. The newest suits are made of faille silk. They are very handsome and very serviceable, but they are also very expensive. One that was embroidered in a silk feather stitch was marked $27.50. A material that is much lighter and mere graceful than faille silk is India silk. One would hardly think India silk would stand the ravages of sait water and the exertion of swimming, but it has been fcund to be very serviceable, and many of the girls have chosen it for thelr suits. Flack India silk trimmed with white braid makes a very attractive costume. Gloria silk is also a very nice material, and the ingenious girl who can make her own costume need not spend more money for it than for an ordinary flannel suit. One young woman who knows how to use her money to the best advantage has fash- foned a suit out of gloria silk at a cost of less than five dollars. She made the bloom- ers “empire style,” if one can use such a term in such a connection—that 1s, in- stead of gathering them into a belt at the waist she continued them up to the lower edge of the yoke. The band of the skirt held the fullness in at the waist, which was just as good as having two bands. The sleeves were short puffs, which looks more natural than the plain long sleeves that were worn on the old-fashioned dres: es of ten years ago. This sult was pai Ucularly pretty because it was black. For, though red is both brilliant and pictur- esque, and though blue is decidedly nauti- cal and suggests the sea, there is no color which Is so eatisfactory all around as black. It keeps its color well, if it ts silk, much better than blue. Black silk has the further advantage that it does not cling to the body and weight one down as flannel does. A striking suit is made of red brilHantine, trimmed with white. These are conspicu- ous enough to please the most ardent lover of picturesque effect. Caps, Shoes and Stockings. Bathing caps are to be had to match any costume. One can buy pldin rubber caps for twenty cents. Oiled silk ones are marked thirty-five cents. But the best hats are the tight-fitting rubber ones that cover the hair completely from the edge of the forehead to the nape of the neck. One can put the head under water with one of these on without wetting the hair a par- ticle. Some suits are made with shoes and stockings attached, but in general it is found better to have them detachable, be- cause the stuckings usually wear out be- fore the rest of the suit, and one often kes to dispense with shoes, as they in- terfere with a good swimming stroke. Bathing shoes with straps that cross several times around the ankle are con- sidered very artistic. White bathing suits are prohibited at some beaches, but notwithstanding this, white 1s the newest thing. Some extrav- agant damsels who like to make a sensa- ticn are wearing white satin, put this has almost nothing to recommend it, not even beauty, after it has been worn once. White brilliantine is better than either silk or satin, because it Is not affected by the water. With black trimmings it is very fetching Red or blue is also used to relieve the white. The entire euit 1s, of course, of white, and if the trimmings are black, long black stockings are worn with white canvas bathing shoes, which are strapped on sandal-fashion with white ribbons. The Uxe of Ribbons. The sandal bathing shoe with straps is the favorite this season. There is a strap across the instep, and two more up the ankle. It has a rubber sole, and comes in white, blue and black. The straps can be removed and replaced by gay ribbons to match the costume. These ribbons may be wound around the ankle, Scotch fash- fon, some distance up the leg and tied in 2 gay bow—which, alas! will be gay but once. But, then, there are other ribbons, and if one lays in a good supply early in the season this need not deter the maid of many shekels. Some bathers find brilliantine and silk too iight for comfort, but there is no rea- son why they should load themselves with heavy flannel suits on this account. A ight silk and wool shirt worn underneath will be found a great comfort, and will insure the wearer against a chill. Tnis was a safeguard adopted by the ingenious maid before mentioned, who made her own sult of gloria silk. Very few women are willing to expose their necks to the ravages of old Sol by wearing a bathing suit cut low. They are exceedingly becoming, however, and if worn alternately with a high neck cos- tume the skin has a chance to recover it- self. They have the further advantage of less weight and greater freedom, and the girl who actually gocs in for the enjoy- ment of swimming discards all the clothes she possibly can, as she cannot afford to waste her strength dragging very much wet apparel through the water. For this reason some girls discard the skirt alto- gether, and strike out in bicycle garb with- out the slightest qualm to their own mod- esty. Indeed, we are progressing so rap- idly in this direction that we need not be surprised when the advanced woman takes her plunge in trunks and tights. —_——-. — SAVES WEAR OF THE TONGUE. New Envelope Which May Be Sealed Without Licking the Mucilage. From the Toledo Blade. Those who have become addicted to the questionable habit of licking the flap of an envelope before mailing a letter ought to hail with delight the invention that does away with all possibiJity of contracting disease from indiscriminate contact of the tongue with possibly impure mucilage. A St. Louts man claims the invention, which is so simple that tt has been suggested scores of times by writers of articles on health. This shrewd St. Louis fellow, how- ever, is manufacturing the new envelopes, and expects to make a lot of money out of them. He ovght to. The inventton coreists merely of placing the mucilage on the body of the envelope instead of the flap. With this envelope you wet the envelope az of old, but the tongue does not touch the possibly unclean mucilage. The letter ie sealed by pressing the moistened flap against the dry gum. It is not so sure a way as sealing a letter, because the gum requires considerable moisture before it will stick, but it is much cleaner than the old way, and in time we may get used to It. —— 000, The Snake Fanned Him. From the San Francisco Call. “About five years ago,” said C. T. Buck- man, a well-known resident of Visalia, “while I was spending a summer in the mountains northeast of Visalia, I captured a large bullsnake. “Being alone in the mountains and hav- ing lots of spare time on my hands, I was able to teach Slippery Dick tricks. I taught him to come at call, to coil up, to dance, and many other tricks. He would coil up on the table, his head in the center of the coil, elevated about six inches in the air. I would place the handle of a small fan in his mouth and then Dick would gently wave the fan to and fro, and thus keep the files and insects away from my face when he slept. “He was a8 good as a cat to keep the house free from mice. I often saw him bring in ten or twelve in a day. His fond- ness for mice was his ruin. It happened this way: One day I missed Dick, ani though I hunted and called all day, I could not find any trace of my pet. One day, abcut a week after his disappearance, having occasion to explore the loft of the cabin in which I was residing, I came across the remains of my old friend. Ap- parently he had been more ihan ordinarily mouse hungry, and in his haste to satiate his appetite had swallowed a live mouse, and the mouse had done the rest. Poor Dick! I can imagine his surprise at the strange commotion on his ins'de, but it was a case of reward for gluttony. No doubt he repented when it was too late.” WHEN WOMEN: BATHE|HOUSEHOLD “HINTS ‘When you have canned your fruit watch it closely for a wek or two before setting away in the fruit cloret. If.it begins to bubble the least bit, you maybe sure that it is inclined to ‘‘work.” Tumble it into the stewpan and give it @ thorough cooking at once. Sweeten it well and.jet the sugar stew in. Examine the rubbers and the lid of the jar to see if they nf erfectly. If they do not, you may as Well abandon them and get new ones. = :, Remember you can ruin swéet corn and Peas by cooking them too long. When cooking peas, press one or twéagainst the side of the pan. If they bieak they are quite done. If hard, cook a‘ittle longer. Corn on the cob is done when the grain does not spring back at pressure from the fork, Jf you would not rain your pickles or nice salads buy only the pure fruit vine- gars or make your own, which is better still. “Store” vinegar is often a villainous compound, actually poisonous. “Soup sticks” are simply delicious. When ycur light byead dough is just ready to make into loaves, cut off a teacupful of it and place on the molding board. Cut off little bits of this and make nine-inch long strips not a bit bigger round than a lead pencil, by rolling under your hand. Lay the strips evenly in a well buttered pan at least an inch apart, and sprinkle with fine salt. When they are quite light bake a light brown, Serve cold on a celery dish or in a@ celery glass. They are nice for soup in Meu of crackers. For lunch make little meat pies to use up the scraps. Take all the nice scraps of veal, beefsteak or roast, ham, fried or beiled, and the left over cooked eggs and mince them in the chopping bowl, salt and bepper to taste. Put in a dash of nutmeg, @ tablespoonful of butter to a cupful of the ineat, and two tablespoonful of dry fine bread crumb.

Line pattie pans with thinly rolled biscuit dough, fill each shell with the mince and Busses a pasiry cover with fork holes in it. Bake twenty minutes. if the babies are teething and fretful, Watch their diet closely. Summer com- piaint in the little ones is quite often the fauit of the mother, who lets her teething baby eat new potatoes and string beans, tomatoes und cucumbers. A child with bowel trouble should have starchy foods, and very little fruit. No meat at all un- less it be sait_meat like bacon. A little sweet salt meat is often recommended. Never let the sick child have hot cakes, or biscuit. Graham bread a day or two old is best. Just a blossom or two with some green leaves will lighten the table wonderfully. Teach the children to bring in clover blooms and blue grass, with the graceful seed heads, 1f you have not finer flowers. It will teach them to see beauty in small things, and to make the most of their sur- roundings. While the old saying “children should be seen not heard” has a good deal of hard sense in it, you are apt to do sensitive children an injustice by repressing them too much. Mix judgment with discretion in training children. Never permit them to be forward, but don’t repress them too much. Don't put strings on the school aprons. It takes more goods, more time to make, more time to launder and more time to tie. They are always tearing the apron, catching on everything and are really dangerous. ieee for milk should never be put into ‘hot water until they have first been rinsed_in cold water. The heat drives the milk ‘in and gives a cloudy appearance to the glass, Which can- not be removed. An easy way to remove\ spots of paint from glass is to make a Strong solution of soda in hot water and wash the glass with a flannel-dipred in this. Clothing that has beconge spotted and whose color has been destroyed by acids may have theacolor restored by applying ammonia and @fterward chloroform. Many things can be dust#d with a damp cloth, followed by a dry one, with advan- tage, and this plan will remove the dust as no dry cloth can. The following simple method of keeping ice water In a common pitcher is worth knowing: Put a layer of cotton batting between two sheets of wrapping paper three inches higher than the pitcher. Fas- ten the ends of the paper and batting to- gether, forming a circle. Paste a cover over one end of the batting and paper. This cover, when over a pitcher, must come close to the stand and so exclude the air, and ice will keep a long time. This paper cover will be found of great service in a sick room for both milk and water pitchers. Occasionally your pet canary bird should bs fed with a hard-boiled egg, chopped fine and mixed with cracker crumbs, giv- ing it not more than a thimbleful of the mixture at a time. : Wash goods liable to fade should be washed in a strong solution of salt, al- lcwing a cup of salt to a quart of hot wa- ter. While the water is warm put the material in and let it lie for a time; then take out and wash in the usual way. Ripe tomatoes will remove almost any kind of stain from the hands, and they oan algo be used to great advantage on white cloth, removing ink spots, as well as many others. a The Perennial Pea. From the Boston Advertiser. The vine of the perennial pea grows much taller and thrifticr than that of the sweet pea, and it can be used in many places where a low trailer would be use- less, and after it 1s once established it minds neither the northern winter nor the scuthern sun. Those of us who live where the summers are long, hot and dry know that the sweet pea is apt to die away be- fore the summer is half gone, unless spe- cial care is taken to keep it well watered and the seed pods all picked off. Even then they sometimes succumb to the fierce heat so foreign to their nature. But well- rooted plants of the perennial pea, whose long, large roots penetrate to the cool, moist subsoil below, stand an ordinary drought with impunity, and are in constant bloom from early in the season until the coming of autumn. Last summer I had not a vine that gave me more pleasure than my perennial peas, trained up to my sitting room windows, so that the friendly blossoms could nod their pretty heads at me each time that I look- ed their way. The flowers are larger and rounder than those of the sweet pea, and the colors are soft and clear. Three to eight blooms are borne in compact clusters at the end of the long flower stalks, mak- ing them just right for cut flowers or to wear for corsage cop one Yeu colors are white, pale and deep rose, low. The last two shades tremely rare. All the colo e desirable, but the white is perhaps thé most useful of all, as it is so fine for cutting Comes Gladness wit a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant eflorts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore Alten in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the mest skillful physicians, but if in need of 4 laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most laryely used and gives most general satisfaction. SNAKE RAN DOWN HER ARM. She Was Reaching Toward a Bird Cage Among Clambering Vines. From the New York Press. Sammy Wood, a fiddler, was furnishing the music for a gathering at the house of a well-known farmer near Callicoon, N. Y., on Monday. It was a party in honor of a young woman from New York. The night was warm and the window was open. The young woman, tired of dancing, notle- ed a bird cage hanging among the vines which grew over the veranda, the inmate of which was roured to its sweetest strains of song by Sammy’s fiddle. Tapping with her finger lghtly upon the cage, the girl felt what she thought was the vine bu playing about her hand. “Heavens: cried one of the dancers, as he looked toward the girl. ‘Look there!” A shriek from the girl, and she fell to the ficor. A huge snake was circling down her arm from the cage across her shoulders, and as ghe lay prostrate it coiled itself upon the floor near her. The moment was one of intense excite- ment. The snake’s mouth was wide open and its fangs set. The ominous rattle was heard. Then Uncle Sammy's fiddle gave forth one of its loveliest airs, and the reptile quickly crawled away toward the music and out of the house. Snakes are seduced away by music, and Uncle Sam- my’s fiddle undoubtedly saved the girl's life. The snake was followed and killed. It measured five feet in length. Charged That New Holes Were Punched in It by the Defenne. From the Savannah News, Superior court has been in session at Washingtcn, Ga. all the week, and the entire time has been taken up in the cases of James Sutton, charged with murder, and Rainey, murder. The Sutton case occu- pied four days. In this case over 200 wit- nesses were introduced, and it was one of the hottest legal battles ever seen in this court house. The sensation of the trial sprung when the defense introduced the skull of the murdered negro in an attempt to prove that he was not shot in the man- ner insisted on by the state. The state then introduced expert testimony to show that the body had been dug up, a piece of the skull thrown away and new holes punched into the skull so as to carry out the position assumed by the defense. There was a large crowd packed and jammed in the court house all through the trial. Young Hinton, who was jointly indicted with But- ton, turned state's evidence. In his state- ment he said he and another white man— Dunway by name—had been hired by Sut- ton to do the ectual killing. He went into the minutest details as to the manner in which they lay In ambush and shot the negro with rifles. The defense made a desperate attempt to break down this evi- dence. The closing speeches were made by T. E. Watson for the defense and Mr. Howard. Mr. Watson made the fight of his life for his client. He closed a speech of four hours with a wonderful burst of elo- quence. Mr. Howard spoke for three hours and discussed the case in a calm, logical manner. He is an extremely close reasoner and he held the jury and the crowd per- fectly during his whole effort. After a strong charge by his honor, Judge Reese, the jury retired and have been out two days without coming to a decision. — se. WILD WEST CONVENTION. White Haired Chairman Showed the Boys He Would Have Order. From the Mississippi Valley Lamberman. A story comes from the west coast to the effect that a meeting of the Washington lumbermen was held the other day at Ta- coma. After the crowd had all assembled in the convention hall and it Was time for the gathering to come to order, Frank B. Cole moved that Emory Siwash White be made chairman of the meeting, a motion which was unanimously agreed to by all present. Emory took the chair with all the dignity of a Thomas B. Reed, and the ball opened up. Moticns came thick and fast. Everybody tried to talk at once, Beckman and Cole not being the quietest people at the meeting, until finally there was such a hubbub that some old-timer who was not accustomed to such things remarked, so as to be heard, that “the thought it was tim to put a stop to such boy's play.” : “D— it! maybe you think because my. hair is white that I'm a kid and can’t keep order,”’ shouted Emory, as he jumped upon the speaker's table, grabbed his chair and began pounding for silence so effectively that he soon got it. Cole, Beckman and a few others silently withdrew from the gathering, and Chairman Emory Siwash White had no more trouble after that. Mamma (coking at her watch)—“How late papa’s train is—not even yet in sight! I hope there hasn’t been an accident .Y HOTELS. ‘This lst appears on Saturdays.
