At any rate, the saloon keepers were allowed to keep their places open in a quiet way as long as the excursionists were In the city, and many were the feverish ap- petites for intoxicants that were temporarily put to sleep. So far as the plan for patting any money into the clty exchequer is con- cerned, however, it was an lgnominious fail- ure, for there was never a drunk arrested all day lcng.

The most careful scrutiny any distinguishing peculiaritl Mr. Wool- man gave the bit of iron a twist and it parted an inch from the hcad, revealing what looked like a minute pencil case, with a tiny pencil just protruding. The nail had been drilled from the head almost to the point. The upper half had been bored out slightly larger than th: lower, and the smalles ize wire nail fitted into it so neatly that the eye could not have detected its pres nce had there not been a slight differ- ence in the color cf the iron. This nail in turn had been bored almost the entire length, and it formed the barrel of the pencil case, the lower part of the big:nail making the cap. What looked like a_ tiny pencil stick- ing out yield.d to a slight pull. It proved to be a common steel needle of ordnary size. The necdle had been cut in two a quarter of an inch below the eye, and both parts had been bored out exactly like the nail. A fine metallic point, so small that it was scarcely visible, pecped from the end in the same manner. A slight pull and out came the tiniest steel ncell: imaginable, just one-half the sizo of the No. 20, the finest cambric needle made. f you will look right close and have a 0od eye, you will s2e that the point of the little needie is also drilled,” said Mr. Wool- man.

Ribbhons that Couldn't Be Sold Two Ago Are Now All the Rage, “This latest craze for highly colored bands on straw hats is proving a godsend to the ribbon manufacturers, said a man promi- nent in the trade to the New York Sun ‘Of course hatters, like in the fur- nishing line, make a practic: of chang the styles of headgear every year. This Is a neceseary proceeding on their part, for if they didn’t their busin:iss in summer hats would fall off in an amazing manner. The fdea in changing fashions each year is to prevent young men from wearing the hats they purchased the year b-fore. Now, if you think it over a bit, you will that 15 eld ‘for new shapes in hat has been mad h crown and a low crown, and a broad brim and a narrow brim; in it has been twisted about in so many that its elasticity is exhausted, and ad-brimmed, three-inch crown hat gent summ:r has become the popular hat. For two or three years now it has been this way, and I doubt if any more attractive hat can be made. Two sza- sons ago the hatters tumbled to the-fact that they had made a hat, the popularity of which would be permanent. Then, desperat ey tried to spring th hat bands which are popular this The hbon uses turned out thousands of yards of these ribbons. They were of every color under the sun, from a deep blue to a rich almon color. Th principal product of the ribbon mills, however, were ribbons of mixed colors, and some of the comb; tions sprung were enough to make an able- bodied ‘man weep. Well, the effort to make these highly colored hat bands popuar was, as every one Kno failure. The people stuck to the somber black and pure white ribbong, and the result was that the manufacturers found themselves caught with thousands of dollars’ worth of ribbons on their hands. Now, I happen to know that all of this ribbon was carefully stored away, the intention being to spring it again in 1804, It meant a tremendous loss to the ribbon poople to make another failure, and they launched the ribbon in_every part of the east at the same time. Well, the public is certainly fickle, for what they r-fused to have anything to do with two years ago they are running after this year. Every one is wearing a fancy band around his hat. Not only in New York, but in other big cities th> craze is cn, and the silk people have got what might vulgarly be termed a cinch. The tremendous sale of this ribbon, which was manufactured two years ago has pulled lots of them cut of the holes info which th: late hard times had thrown Years others n, them. e WAS COMPLETELY ANGLICIZED. A Trip Abroad Developed a Distaste for American Institutions, The American who goes abroad for a brief business trip and returns so Anghcized that not even the current coin of his own country is any longer familiar to him—not to speak of the profound distaste developed for her social institutions—is daily becoming a more usual and ridiculous entity. On the last ar- rival of the Umbria, says the New York Herald, a rare specimen of this particular genus came ashore and was met by a hum- ble employe of his business firm, who promptly began a hustle after the baggage. The traveler was a young man about 30, wore a yachting cap and a monocle, and shouldered a newly made accent, which nearly lifted the employe off his fee “Chawles,” he said, “cawn’t you get a kob and shift these blooming traps on the top. I cawn't do with those beastly brawsses for the luggage. Demnable inventions.” Al right, sir)’ said the astounded Chawles. “What shall I give the man to lift them, sir? Have you any change?” give the duffer a ‘arf a crown. take what you want,” opening his palm, full of silver; “take anything; five bob if you want, only let's get out of this bloomink hole. I cawn't stand it here, doncher know! Too beastly, Chawles.” We have no half crowns or bobs here, sir,”” said the man, with the flicker of a smile. “Shall I give him 50 cents?” “0h, . groaned the young man, dropping on the edge of a trunk to relieve his disgusted exhaustion. “Dollahs and cents and dimes, beastly, horrible coins, nawsty, filthy money, doncher know. It all comes back to me, Chawles. He; ad- justing his monocle and squinting in a help- less fashion at the coins in his own hand ck out a 'arf a crown’s worth of beastl Cimes. You know them Chawl Dimes repeated the young man, in a disgust, which emingly bordered on despair; “What shall I evah do with such perfectly dweadful things? Is the keb ready, Chawles? Let's get away from this vulgah hole. And don't speak to me about dollahs just yet, Chawles. I cawn't stand it just yet, you know,” said the yougg man from Wesichester, as the “keb” with the “luggage” swung round the corner of the dock, bearing his languid body homeward. e WAYSIDE ADVERTISING. 1n the East it is Looked Nulsance. The custom of advertising by the wayside has got to be such a nuisance that som thing should be done to stop it, says the Boston Herald. It is carried to such an extent in many localities and it so disfigures landscapes otherwise beautiful that a large number of travelers would prefer to pass through such places by night rather than be subject to the continual irritation caused by h offenses to the eye. The troubl> Is, however, that the nuisance is becoming so universal that one would have to travel everywhere by night to avoid it. One of the latest atrocities is that of making signboards into the shape of huge bottles and other articles, covered with inscriptions setting forth the virtues of some quack nostrum or other. A prais:worthy attempt was made in the last legislature to prohibit or diminish this evil, but somehow it failed, probably because legislators could not see why a man should not have the right to permit his barn, shed or house to b: covered with advertising signs, or his meadow or fleld, together with thelr fences. to be so occupied, regardless of the sensibilities of the public that passes on the highway or in the railway cars, Pos: bly the evil might be reached and very severely discouraged by a system of taxation at a rate increasing with the size of the lettering or dim-nsions of space occupled. This would certainly be a legitimate subject for taxation, The person owning the prop- erty should be made responsible for the tax, for it might be impossible to r ach the parties doing the advertising, The pro- prietor of the premises would thus be made shy of leasing such advertising space.

From that, as a mere guess, 1 would say that there were 20,000 or 30,000 steerage passengers leaving this country every month As to the character of these passengers they are the best class of mechanics and working people “While no one knows absolutely of the exodus o does not to find several plausible ex; passengers are more numerou people are just retu exposition, and others arc [ the exposition d last summer. As to the ge passcngers, their departu is due partly to the scarcity i work and partly to the low traveling rates on land and water. A gr many of them, when times were good, sent money to their friends abroad, nd now, when times are hard here, they go abroad to live on those friends for awhile. But, after all, there is more or less mystery about the move- ment General Manager Anderson of the White Star line said: “The exodus to Burope be- 1 when our line reduced its rates to $10, 13, and has increased ever since. I have lcard a report that our steamer Teu- il IS ULl eCial B AL Wednesda carried 1,000 steer: pussen- gers. 1 have no information to that effect vet, but I know it rejected 200 steerage pas- senge Tacre are a few more sccond cabin passeng-rs than there have been, and there would have been a gredt increase in all cabin passengers but for the hard times. But the current exodus is almost entirely corfined to the steerage. We have mno fig- u by which to tell how many people hav sailed within any given time, even by our own line. But my judgment at not less than 25,000 people have left during the last month. The German lines reduced their ates to $18 carly in the spring, but no great increase of travel resulted until we put the price down to $10 and most other lines followed our example, “The ecxodus is mainly from the mines and factories of the east. There would be mere from the west if we could take them, but we get telegrams all the time telling us to take few or none. The cause of the rush is not only the low rates, but the hard times. I think the effect of hard times has been greatly aggravated by the recent strikes and by the alarming disagreement and dilatoriness of congress. Workingmen who have a_little money and no work can now go to Burope and live much cheap.r than they can here. Of course they will all come back to America as soon as work be- comes plentiful again.” General Agent Brown of the International Navigat on company sail* “The exodus did yot begin until May, but hes been increasing rapidly ever sin It is mostly to the steerage, but we have also an in- creased cabin travel, due to the detention of so many people in this country last year by the expcsition. The steercge passengers now going to Burope are not a class of people whom we should be; glad to see leave the country. They are not the crim nals nor the paupers, but honest, industricus and thrifty skilled workmen. It would be a misfortune to have them go if it were not certain they would return again. What sends them abroad is the hard times, more even than the low rates. “It is impossible tq form any the total number who have gone, rate has been increasing all the Our lines are now carrying 1,500 Our steamer Paris last” week carried & after turning over 200 to other lines. As a rough guess I should think they were golng over now at the rate of 25,000 a month, We are now sending men to Europe in the stecrage for §10, of which we pay $3 to the agent."” Western Manager Ramm of the Hamburg- American Packet company said: “I be- lieve there Is a heavy steerage travel to Europe this summer, but my Ine dces not feel it in the west. It costs only $10 to cross the ocean, but it costs $16 to go second class from here to New York. IEven if the railr-ad rates could be reduced to $10 it would still cost twice as much to go to Burope from Chicago as from New York. I do not know the volume of the travel at all, but it Is easy to see It results from the hard times in this country as well as from the low rates. Poor people out of work can live cheaper in Europe than they can here. Mr. McDenald of Herderson Bros., general gents of the Anchor line, said: “Our line has not felt the steerage exodus at all, be- causo we have not reduced our rates as the other lines have done. 1 do not think the exodus is confined to the east on account of the railrozd rates to the seaboard. There are a good many passengers sailing from the northwest. The exodus began last July, during the exposition, on account of the hard times. It is large now, but my ex- planstion of it is the hard times and low rates have prec'pitated the usual fall travel, I could nct form any estimate of the number who have gone, nor even of the number now going every week.

Sociatistic Ro German View of What childs Are Doing The Berlin correspondent of the Phila- delphia Times writes as follows: “The Roths childs, paving the way for the state of the future in these times of commercial crisis, which, according to the soclalistic philoso- phers, are due to the plethora of wealth, such an announcement is doubly interesting, especlally when it comes from Herr knecht, perhaps the most learned of Marxist parliamentarians. He makes it in connec tion with a statement regarding the Roths- childs' projected acquisition of the Trans- vaal gold flelds. “Trusts like the one that power means to create, become daily more potent; they absorb all competing capitalists of small, medium and great means a.lke, and in dolng so jrepare society for the soclalistic stage, for the state of the fu- ture,"" says Herr Lfebknecht “We propose, as everybody knows, a sy tem under which indusiry fs organized into a vast soclal operation. Have the Roths- childs taken the cue’ from us? Let us r view their recent performances. The hou: of Rothschild is now practically in control of the financial policy of the finances of Austria, Hungary and Brazil. The barons also ars supreme o thé continental copper, quicksilver and petroleum markets, Their profits of the Kimberly' diamond fie.ds, the possession of which 'gives the Rothschilds the right to dictate prices to the world in this branch of business, are so enormous that Lombard street 'and the bourses of Berlin, Vienna and/Parls tremble when they think of it. And now they propose to buy up the gold flelds t thé south of the Trans- vaal—or, perhaps, they have bought them already—while those who cannct be ac- quired outright are to pass under their con- trol. Do you know what that means? “The gold mines in that part of the world have been operated by a number of stock companies up to now; in 1891 the preduc- tion amounted to 52,500,000 of marks; it rose in 1892 to 87,000,000; in 1893 to 106,000,- 000 marks, and this year the output fs es- timated at 150,000,000 marks. According to Indisputable official sclentific authority the gold deposits In the South Transvaal mines are worth 700,000,000 marks. This is equal to one-third of the gold production in the entire world. The Rothschilds, unhampered by financlal considerations, will not be forced to spend a dozen years or more in lifting this treasure, as the small concerns would.

Miss Cur- rie returned home last year, writes a cor- respondent of the New York Sun, after five years spent in musical studies in Germany She has been engaged a soloist for Thomas' orchestra next scason, and is beautiful woman as well as an accomplished musician. She has been admired and praised at home. and at a concert she gave last week at Lawrenceburg Attorney L. H. Car- ter of that town introduced her with the fol- lowing bit of ing Kentucky rhetoric “Since the gladsome morn of creation when the stars sang together and the uni- verse resounded with the symphony as the hand of God swept it into harmony, music has playcd no small part in the history of the world. All men everywhere—barbaric and civili: are sensible to its magic spell. * 1 have always maintained that that education is incomplete which de- velops the body in the gyumasium, the mind in the college curriculum, and leaves un- cultivated the emotional nature. To think and to do the right it is necessary to feel the right. Such a feast and such a pleasure have I the honor to herald to you tonight The very distinguished daughter of one of Kentucky's most distinguished and honored sons—a son who, both in the tented ficld and at the bar, has represented tife highest type of Kentucky manhood—is here to ravish and steal away our hearts with the sweetest in human souls. that Orpheus played so that all nature stopped sic, and she who will open the crust of care tonight and start the liquid flow of joy in your soul, is no un- worthy disciple of him whose head and ly floated ‘down the swift Helms to the Les- bian shore.’ From the hours of prattling childhood the witchery of her performance on the violin was known and appreciated—the wonder and pride of her friends. What the greatest masters at home and abroad could do was done, and in the fulness of time she burst forth on an astonished world a star of the first magnitude, before whom paled the greatest reputations in the musical world. As a violinist she stood without a peer among_womankind, and with very few, if any, among the sterner sex. The greatest talent of Burope wondered, admired, and praised, and her native land received her as the child of her pride, well worthy of the triumphs, but, above all, Kentucky is proud of her most distinguishied daughter and claims her as her own: Ours while deathless love remains, Ours by right divine and human, Ours for worth and fame endears, And by a heritage in common, Ours through all eternal years, “Beautiful, talented, distinguished, @ great artist, and a superb type of woman- hood, I introduce to you in the person of Currie Duke. one Currie ) of a Mythology tells us divinely on the Iy to listen to his m THE CORN COB ARM. A Pcculiar Natural Fieak Discovered Kentucky. The likeness of a human arm and hand presented in every detaii upon a common corn cob is the freak of nature owned by C. B. Cundiff of Somerset, Ky. Two y:ars ago it was found growing upon its parent stalk in a fleld near that city, owned by William Anderson. When the ear was pulled it was thought to be onme of those frequent bunches found in every field. It was husked and thrown into the crib until the following autumn. When it came to shelling time the curiosity was developed in all of its fullness. Among the superstitious it created a feel- ing of alarm, just as did the alleged “hand- writing of the Lord" some weeks since That clever fake was exposed in the Cin- cinnati Enquirer through the examination of the sample blades by Prof. Lloyd, the noted botanist. The ‘Corncob Arm,” a this phenomenon of nature is known, is, however, a genuine article, After bheing shown about the country it was finally pre- sented to the present owner, Mr. Cundiff. He has had it measured and photographed for future reference, and pr t most highly. The cob weights 41 ounces and is §5-16 inches in length. From the butt to the palm of the hand is 5% Inches. Its thick- ness at the butt is 51-16 inches, and at the wrist 4 inches. The thumb is 1% inches in length, the first finger 1%, the secand 1%, the third 1% and the fourth 1%. The arm, 80 caled, is symmetrical, resembling the gloved forearm of a woman extended as if in the act of rcaching for something. A curious thing presented by the fingers is the mark, or crease, upon the inner surface usually made by the joint in the human. The owners of the curious thing have cleaned away the empty grain cells in order to more fully show the outlines cf the hand.
