A COO I. RETREAT.

Has Every Desirable Facility for an Enjoyable Summer Sojourn. Persons desiring to combine recreatiou, entertainment, instruction and devotion with their summer onting will find Eagle Lake, on the Pensylvania Lines, near Warsaw Ind., the ideal spot. This pretty resort is site of Wii.ona Assembly and Summer school, the youngest of the Chautauqua Assembly*?. The grounds have been well and favorabley known as Spring Fountain Park. They cons'itue about two hundred acres of romantic woodland st etching nearly two miles alog th6 eastern shore of Eagle Lake, a beautiful sheet of water. The grounds have been platted and'pretty cottages constitute the summer homes of persons who here find rest and healthgiving recreation in invigorating air, amid attractive suirouudingp. Some desirable cottage sites are yet obtainable. In addition to the portion laid out for building purposes, a fine park has been made. There is also a race track with overlooking amphitheatre funi'shing splendi 1 facilities lor outdoor athletic sports. The huge auditorium has a .seating capacity of 5,000, and the several college h-illt- are use 1 to Assembly purposes. A good lintel, icstaurants iur' supply stoiVb furnish means of living at reasonable rates. A large fleet of row boats with two stearneis will permit indulgence in boating, and persons fond of fishing may enjoy that pastime to satisfactory extent, as the lake teems with tish. The low tourist rates over the Pennsylvania Lines place these pleasures within easy reach. The rate will be in effect all season from ticket stations on these lines. In addition to the season tourist tickets, a low rate will also be in effect for round trip tickets good fifteen days. Ticket agents of the Pennsylvania Lines will furnish them, and they may be obtained from agents of connecting lines. The Assenbly Department opens July 1st and continues four weeks during which time prominent speakers will discuss live topics. During August there will be educationel work under Prest Johu M. Coulter.|of Lake Forest University,in connection with the Assembly. For details regarding rates of fare, time of trains, etc., apply to nearest Pennsylvania L'ne Ticket Agent, or address F. Van Dusen, Chief Assistant General Passenger Agent, Pittsburgh, Pa. Applications for information concerning the resort should be addressed to Secretary E. S. Scott, Eagle Lake, Iud.

Numerous Kx'Hirslons the Coming Summer at Keasoii ill« Kate.s. Whether the tourist's fancy directs hiin to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South: or to the lake region of the North: or to the Rocky Mountain^ and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. In Aug excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned,

but the public generally may take adran9 tage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch aad all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located ou the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirable opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excur sionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreal, Thousand Tslands and St, Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cape Cod

resorts to New York and thence through the agricultuaal paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Junlata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through his_toric Johnstown and the coke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. It is also expected that Boston excursionists trover the Pennsylvania Lines will be priv"ileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As *H»the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements khan the liberal concessions in rates and privileges .-i'that may be enjoyed by travelers over j-^' the Pennsylvania Lines.

WOMAN'S WOULD.

MISS PARKER WINS THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE.

Women Ruled This Decision—The Massachusetts Test Vote Wheel Costumes. English View of a New York Home.

Mrs. Stowe's True Condition.

Miss Marian Sara Parker of Detroit is the first woman to graduate from the department of engineering of the University of Michigan. She won the degree of bachelor of science in civil engineering. She has taken the full course provided for those who desire to become civil engineers except the field work in surveying, and for this she substituted drawing. However, she has taken all the theoretical work of the course and has stood all the time well at the head of her class. Miss Parker entered the university four years ago from the Detroit high school, from which she graduated in 1891.

Her object in pursuing this cour.se, she says, was to become a practical architect. Upon finishing her course here she expects to practice her profession somewhere in the west, which she be-

lievos to ho tlic most promising spefion in which to sottlo. dosire unci determination in overstepping the ordinary bounds of woman's activity by seeking technical education were not at all of a spasmodic nature. She asserts that it has been her steadfast intention for at least ten years.

There are not a great many women architects in the country. Miss Parker says there are probably 50 or 00 of them. There is one in Philadelphia, two in New York, and there are others scattered throughout the country. While she is the first woman to graduate from the University of Michigan in this course there have been several woman graduates from the school of technology in Cornell and several from the Boston School of Technology.

Miss Parker's thesis for graduation consisted of designing a fireproof apartment building, on which she lias spent a great deal of work. To an engineer, who knows what it means to design such a building, figuring out the strength of every pieuo of iron in its eonstrcction. it will not seem a long time to spend on the plan of such a building when it is said that Miss Parker has spent nearly the whole of the present semester on her thesis, although not in constant woi'k upon it.

There have been few women to take the engineering course in this institution. Some have begun it, but nono lias before completed it. Miss Parker i.s likely to have the dist inction for some time of being the only coed graduate of the engineering school of the University of Michigan.—Chicago Tribune.

Women ltuled This Decision. It was a matter of some surprise recently that Justice Shiras of the United States supreme court should have changed his mind upon a matter of law, but it is not many months since the whole court changed their minds on such a matter, and that in the course of a few days.

The case before the court was one arising out of a customs decision at this port, and the counsel arguing against the decision of the custom house was a New York lawyer, then for the first time before the supreme court. The case I turned mainly upon the question wheth- I er an article of importation should or

should not bo classed as a sauce. The custom house had called it a sauce and taxed it accordingly. The government maintained £liis contention, and of course the New York lawyer sought to show that the article should not be classed as a sauce.

When the supreme court came to consult upon the case, their unanimous opinion was favorable to the contention of the government, and one of the justices was instructed to prepare a decision in favor of the custom house. Ths justice, on returning home, told his wife of the case and indicated the ground of the decision, whereupon the lady told him in plain words that the justices of the supreme court did not know what they were talking about and had agreed upon an unjust decision. The lady was entirely clear that the article in dispute could not properly be called a sauce and openly ridiculed the court.

The perplexed justice, instead of preparing the decision in accordance with the instructions of his brethren, did nothing in the matter, but at the next opportunity unfolded to the other justices his wife's view of the matter and asked them to seek domestic counsel on the case and report at the next consultation of the court. When that consultation came round, the justices, having taken feminine counsel, all reported against their original view that the article involved in the case should be classed as a sauce, and accordingly the justice originally charged with the task of preparing a decision in favor of the government was now instructed to prepare one in favor of the New York lawyer's client. It thus happened that the lawyer won his first case before the su-

sr r' 2

preme court because the wives of the justices knew more than the court itself. —New York Sun.

The Massachusetts Test Vote. There is a sharp difference of opinion among the advocates of woman suffrage in Massachusetts as to what attitude they shall take toward the test vote in the next state campaign. The last legislature, it will be remembered, passed an act providing that "all persons qualified to vote for school committee shall at the I next state election have an opportunity to express their opinion by voting 'Yes' or 'No' in answer to the question, Is it expedient that municipal suffrage be granted to women?" The result, of I course, will have no legal significance. It will simply be a census on the general proposition.

The advocates of woman suffrage opposed the bill when it was pending in the legislature, claiming that if the vote went against the women it would not affect the principle at stake a particle and would prove nothing, while it might injure the cause by furnishing its opponents with a new argument. If it went for them, it would really amount to nothing practical. I

Some of the leading suffragists, however, including Colonel T. W. Higginson and Miss Alice Blackwell, are in favor of conducting a vigorous campaign, both in public speech and by personal influence, to draw out as large a vote as possible in favor of granting municipal suffrage to women.

On the other hand, there are numbers of the suffragists, headed by Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, who look upon the act of the legislature as a farce and are unwilling to take any notice of it. This opinion is so strong that at a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Woman's Suffrage association a res-

olution recommending that the members

of the order should do all in their power to bring out tiie vote failed of a majority and was lost. Many of the suiTragists go so far as to declare that they will not take the pains to vote upon the question submitted by the legislature. —New York Post.

Wheel Costumes.

If New York women have apparently gone mad over cycling, their passion is as ''moonlight unto sunlight" compared with that of their London and Paris sisters. In London fashionable dailies belonging to the most exclusive sets are enthusiastic and persistent riders, and at the modistes and ladies' tailors "wheel costumes" are the most important in the wardrobe. Not to "wheel" i.s to be out of the whirl, all feminine royalty, except the queen herself, having set its eaeliet on the fascinating sport. In Paris tin? same story is told, with the added touch of the Frenchwoman's daring in the matter of dress. In the latter city the English widow, Lady Randolph Churchill, is accredited with the smartest cycling version of the mourning toilet. She wears a black alpaca suit, edged with black leather knickerbock-

ers, usually concealed by a short skirt,

Sir Benjamin Richardson, the cminent English authority 011 health, rec- I onimends it warmly to all women, but warns them not to abuse it. The novice should never ride beyond the poiut. of 1 fatigue, blie should not ride nnmediately before or after a meal, and she should not try to beat records. There is an excitement and fascination about the wiieel which tempt the rider to overindulgence, but it i.s a great pity to risk health by the abuse of what, when properly used, i.s at once a source of keen pleasure and sound benefit.—New York 1 Times. I

I Kngltali View of a New York Home Those who know New York will bear me out in saying that, beautiful as our more important London houses are, they pale in splendor when compared with those of Fifth avenue. En passant I may refer to the lovely home of our present

American guests, Mr. and Mrs. George Gould, likened to a French chateau set 1 down at random at the corner of Sixty-

seventh street and "the" avenue. Its frontage, ornate to coquettishness, hardly prepares you for the more serious splendors within.

Imagine a reception room crammed with priceless treasures en suito, with a hearth rug costing something like £3,000! The piano, which appears of pure I gold however carefully you examine it, is, after all. only silver gilt—a fact which comforts you in the midst of such

Arabian Nightlike gorgeousness. The walls of the room are ebony, inlaid with mother of pearl. There are the inevitable Louis Seize music rooms and Moorish smoking saloon. If the decorations are conventional, they are "beautiful exceedingly.''

It would be ungracious while describing this far famed mansion not to say something in praise of Mr. and Mrs. George Gould themselves. The heir of the late Jay Gould and his wife are about the most popular people in the exclusive New York society of today.

Mrs. Gould is young and beautiful and won innumerable friends when yachting at Cowes last year. The Prince of Wales showed her and her husband quite special attention during the "week," and their return here and to the isle of Wight during the summer is looked upon as quite a pleasant feature of the season.—London Gentlewoman.

Sirs. Stowe'ft True Condition One hears frequent and more or less dift r» ut rumors of the failure of Mrs. Harriet Beecber Stowe's mind. It would not be a strange thing had this occurred, for she is an old woman, born in the year of our last conflict with Great Britain, 1812.. But the fact is, as is known to those admitted to the intimacy of the

w?$z}mpF'

family, that Mrs. Stowe's disease is not softening of the brain, as has been intimated, but instead that peculiar giving way of the memory which has before this afflicted other writers in their old age.

One remembers that Emerson was, only a short time before his death, as brilliant as ever in conversation, so that Dean Stanley on his visit to this country bore delighted testimony to the powers of the sage of Concord. And yet at about the same time he could so little rely upon his remembrance that lie would be forced to the pathetic saying at the grave of Longfellow, "This dear friend, whose name I have for the moment, forgotten.''

And Walter Scott wrote stories and verses after such lapses of his mind as would make him repeat in ten minutes a humorous anecdote three times. His diary shows no sign of mental failure, and still his memory played sfSeh tricks as this with him. It is exactly so with Mrs. Stowe. She writes occasionally even yet and as charmingly as ever. But her memory is absolutely unreliable, and there is no foreseeing when it will suddenly desert her.—Boston Letter.

Some Summer Belongings.

For house wear, either at breakfast or luncheon, there are shown semilitted jackets of white dotted muslin lined, with the lightest long cloth, writes Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Journal. These reach well over the hips, are fitted closely in the back, are semiloose in front and have full sleeves drawn in to fit loosely about the wrists. They are at once cool in appearance and in I reality, and with a skirt of almost any kind make a damty house costume. A I typical jacket of this sort is of white dotted muslm fitted as described, Inv

whether bicycling is really an exercise to be commended for women has been apparently decisively settled in the afUrinative. Many of the passive supporters—passive because they were not oppouents of the wheel—among the rued- I ical profession have now come out with pronounced opinions in its favor.

frill of

embroidery with swiss for its background so that it matches the jacket material. This is sewed on to the skirt edge, and above it. is a wide beading, through which is run pale pink ribbon. A similar beading is down each side of the fronts, the buttoning being concealed. A high collar of a wider beading has the pink ribbon brought through it and tied in a bow the front. A belt of still wider beading is firmly fastened at the back, lias ribbon of the same width drawn through it and is looped in sash fashion just in front. When it is necessary to do this up, the ribbon can very easily be drawn out, and it can be replaced, or if a change is fancied blue or pale green or a light yellow may bo its substitute.

Some Laundry Hints.

Cliallies can be beautifully washed in rice wafer. Boil half a pound of rice in rather more than two quarts of water, let the water become tepid and then wash the fabric in it, rubbing it with the rice as if it were soap rinse two or three times in rice v»ter, from which, however, the rice has been strained, and use the last rinsing water well diluted,

|}iat (jje material may not becomo too

stockings should be washed and rinsed in lukewarm water and wrung between tow (sis. Woolen and silk underwear should be washed in warm soapsuds, to which a little ammonia has been added. The silk garments may soak for a quarter of an hour 111 this preparation before being rubbed between the fingers. Rinse twice through tepid clear water and hang to dry with great care, pulling out all wrinkles. Iron under a cloth before quite dry.

A Combing Cape.

A long bath cloak to bo thrown over the bathing dress when one conies out from the ocean "dip" is of Turkish toweling, which comes two yards wide, i.s trimmed around the bottom and has a band around the throat of wide braid of blue and white cotton. A combing cape, which is sometimes more con- I venient than a jacket to protect the dress waist from wet hair or in dressing the hair, is made from mummy 1 cloth, the back in one piece and reaching to the waist, the front in two oblong pieces of the same length. The cape is sloped to fit over the shoulders, but the back is separate from the front, so that it will not interfere with the movement of the arms. Such a cape may be feather stitched with silk along the edges.— Philadelphia Ledger.

They Cheered the Girls.

Misses Sarah Logan Blair and Isabella Blacklock, the first women graduates of Glasgow university, were loudly cheered by the young men at their attendance upon the "capping" ceremony of their M. A. degrees. The boys made the old hall ring with She a Jolly Good Fellow."—Iiondon Correspondent.

A practical mode of renovating old skirts is to insert "soufflets," or plaited fans, to any depth you please as far as the knee. These may be surmounted by one or three tiny bows of velvet. This style is newer than panels or fronts.

In New York the new law which raises the age of protection for girls to 18 will go into effect Sept. 1, and judges are now calling the attention of the public to its provisions through the newspapers.

In Connecticut the municipal woman suffrage bill passed the house, but was defeated in the senate. The senate, however, by a vote of 17 to 6, refused to repeal the school suffrage law.

EVEN CHICAGO WAS SHOCKED.

One of Her tp to Date Girls Wore "Bloom*'* ers of Vivid 1-1 lie. Four Lincoln park poiiceinon mounted on bicycles chased a little scorcher in bloomers today, but instead of catching her they landed in a promiscuous heap in Lakeview, while the girl of the period laughingly raised her jaunty cap and was lost in the labyrinth of streets that wind out of Lake Shore drive at that point.

All along the line the exciting race was watched by thousands, who cheered the pretty girl and jeered her clumsy pursuers while the contest lasted and burst their buttons off at its ludicrous conclusion.

The. girl's bloomers caused all the I trouble. While Officer Maliaffy leaned against I a tree he was startled by a vision of green and gold that made his hair stand on end with horror. Not 100 feet away rode a girl with the bloomingest bloomers lie had ever seen.

The bloomers proper were of old gold satin and fitted almost like gloves. They came to the knees and were finished at the bottoms with bright ribbon binding..

The leggings were undeniably silk stockings 311st a shade darker than the bloomers, while the dainty feet were in-* cased in tan oxfords with needle toes?-: and satin bows.

A green satin zouave jacket embroidered with yellow silk and trimmed with ribbon bows of the same color but half, concealed a tan colored leather belt with® silver buckle and a white shirt waist.

She wore a stand up linen collar, a negligee tie of yellow silk, which floated behind as she flew along, and above all was perched a little yachting cap1? greener than the tree that supported Of-a firer Mahaiiy when I10 was stunned by the ddv costume, violative alike of?r fashion edicts and the city ordinances forbidding either sex to wear the other's?: clothing.

That dignitary quickly recovered anda gave chase on his wheel. The crowds yelled like lunatics. Three other cop-: pers on bikes joined the hunt, but they« were never in it. for the girl held her distance, and the 1110b wouldn't have seen her captured anyway.

The end came in Lakeview when Officer Mali ally's forward wheel struck an obstruction, and he went sprawling on the drive, with his companions flonn-p dering above him. At this instant the?? little sinner whose naughty costume fe caused the rumpus raised her cap to her vanquished pursuers and disappeared, The bobbies brushed themselves off and modestly sneaked back to Lincoln park on a quiet street to avoid the complimeats of the crowd.—Chicago Dispatch to Boston Globe.

Kajferm-ss of Great Bibliophiles. Twenty years ago the bookseller Pottier was the best known purveyor to the book lovers, and every day defiled into his shop a brilliant assembly of celebrated book lmyer.s.

One morning Paulin Paris, the Marquis Ganay, M. de Lignerolles and M. Yemeniz mot in his shop, but Pottier was not there. He had left the day before for Brussels. $m~t

What is a bookseller to do in Brussels if not to buy an extraordinary book? Thus thought the four book lovers, and at once in their four minds came the same idea—"What may I do to meet Pottier before any one else?"

The next morning at (i :i30 Ganay came to Pot tier's shop. None of his rivals was there. Ho rubbed his hands in glee.

But Paulin Paris had got up earlier. At 5 :]0 he was walking on the quays of the station, waiting for the Brussels train, proud that none of his rivals liacl had the same idea.

Ho had counted, alas! without Yemeni/, who iiad gone to Creil to meet the train.

The train arrived. Yemeniz rushed into the compartment occupied by the bookseller, affected surprise at seeing liini, and after a thousand preliminary remarks asked him what lie had bought at Brussels.

The noise of the conversation woke a neighbor in an opposite corner. The neighbor was no other than M. de Lignerolles, who had gone to Brussels to meet the bookseller.

Nobody has ever known what book Pottier bought at Brussels.

"Two Vice Presidents."

I know of no two lives 111 all American history which have been ordered in such sharp and instructive contrast from beginning to ending as the lives of these two men. One of them sprang from one of the proudest and most aristocratic as well as ablest and most powerful of the ruling families of Kentucky the other was of an origin so humble and obscure that it could hardly be traced. One was born at the open gate of fortune, influence and opportunity the other was born in the lap of squalid want. Both set out in life under the influence of a controlling ambition. One thirsted for glory and power and fame the other to be emancipated from poverty and lieglect.

The career of Breckinridge lay along an even pathway lighted up from the outset with the encouraging smiles of influential friends and overhung with tempting prizes, which he gathered thick 2: and fast at every step, while Wilson began the ascent of a steep and rugged mountain path alone and toiled upward without help, beset by discouragements, confronted all the way with difficulties and cheered by no light ahead or reward in sight. Tho vice presidency came to Breckinridge almost by force of gravity, as ripe fruit drops iuto a basket ready to receive it. It came to Wilson as tribute^ to a life of toil spent 111 tho uplifting o£T downtrodden humanity.
