Without having full data 33 to the President's condition local physicians have been unable t- jud;e further than to compare the reports with similar reports from patients whom they have attended.

BACK PROM HIS VACATION. Rev. C. ('. HutvlKon'H Senium at the Tliirtl CltriMtiaii hureh. The Rev. C. C. Itowlison. of the Third Christian Church, Just returned from his vacation, yesterday morning; chose for the text of his sermon John xvi, 7: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away the Paracl le will not come unto you; but if I go I will send him unto you." Jle said: Much has been said since W. T. Stead wrote 'If Christ Came to Chicago about what would Jesus do. Doubtless this has given a very desirable emphasis to an important triuli, namely, thai Christ lived a human lite whieti it is the business ot mankind to take as its model. We look to Christ no,' as the universal man. Uut to J I is contemporaries lie seemed a wild party leader. So long as men looked into His face the Ilesh stmt out of view His spirit. The The Paraclete, which i.s the Holy Spirit, has two or three special works to do. It is to sustain man as His advocate anil comforter in times of trial; it is to convict the world of sm, ot righte uousnej-s and of judgment, and it is to complete the work begun by Christ by leading mio all truth. "Jesus told His uiscipKs that they should be driven out of the synagogue, 'lue services of the church are not the only divine activity. Christianity is larger than any synagogue it is as large as the world, witn all its activitbs. What Jesus preached was the kingdom ot Cod the reign of Cod In all the thoughts and activities and institutions of men. The primitive church tried to comprehend the kingdom in its institution, but failed. Then men began to distinguish K'tween sacred ad secular, and allied thd with everything ecclesiastical, and left Him out of all else. JJut this distinction means anarchism and death in the world. There is a guiding spirit prompting nil true thoughts and activities, convicting the world ot" its sins and leading on to victory. "Cod was manifest in Jesus Christ, and He is the Son of Co I as being the express Image of His person. Nevertheless, not even Christ, under the limitations of the Jlesh, could comprehend in his individual life all that is desirable. He could not bf i scientist and a lin;ncier and an educator ind a parent. And He recognizes this limitation and says. "It is expedient for you that I tro away. Now. this other comforter. Paraclete, that He sends is but the fulfillment f the promise. 'I come unto j on. That is to say. nil search for truth, till effort to dev loo the resources of the world, all loving deeds of the horn-, of the School, all true government, are led by the divin poirit ns well a Is the church. "Lint this d es in. I iy that the church Is not divine. It N divine, and is essential to the highest life in all other institutions. It is the chosen herald of ihe gospel of the kingdom. The P.ir.:ehte is most conhelously resnt in it and through it He touches an 1 redeems the world." me hi:r coi iny isixokd. srpiiLMi: coi irr. New Cave. PTC". Cynthia Ann Whit tenSercrr rt al. Vs.

ot All the Pestiferous Insect Arc Considered Dangerous. The Journal has received from the author. Dr. Robert Htssler, of Logansport, Ind., a copy of a, pamphlet reprinted from the proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science for 1 0. The paper is entitled "Mosquitoes and Malaria." It gives many facts about the disease known as malaria or chills and fever, its cause and mode of action, and outlines how the disease, or, rather, the disease germs, are transmitted from one Individual to another through the agency of the mosquito. It says: "Not all kinds of mosquitoes ure able to infect by their bite. The common mosquito living in cities, recognizable by its unspotted wings, does not transmit the disease, but the other two species, or kinds, living about the city, and especially in the country, and distinguished by the dark spots on the wings, are able to do so. They are known as Anopheles mosquitoes. It should bi distinctly understood, however, that unless tho special kind of mosquito itself has been feeding on the blood of patients sick with malaria it is wholly unable to infect others by its bite; the mosquito simply acts as a go-between. The only reliable diagnostic test for malaria is stated to be a microscopical examination of the blood, a minute droplet bcins drawn from the linger tip. "Malaria was formerly very common In Indiana, notably along the Wabash river, but at the present time it 13 comparatively rare, and this is ascribed to the fact that since quinine has become so cheap it is taken in sufficient doses on the appearance of any malarial symptoms. Formerly quinine was very costly, used only as a last resort and often in insufficient doses. Then, too, since drainage has become so common the breeding places of the mosquito, the swamps and pools, have mostly disappeared, thus reducing the number of mosquitoes "It does seem strange to one who has not studied the subject to be told that he can get malaria from the bite of a mosquito, yet such is the conclusion of scientists who have studied the subject. The Inhabitants of an Anopheles mosquito Infected region may Indeed say. in the language of the Hoosier poet: 'Malariall git you f you don't watch out.' ' FROM SUNDAY'S JOURNAL. Snmnmry of the Chief tt In the Issue of Sunday, Sept. 8. The latest bulletin of the night. Issued at 3:2) a. m., stated that the President had passed a fairly good night, with pulse at 1-2, temperature at 102.4, respiration at -1. The maximum pulse of Saturday was 110, maximum temperature 102.3, maximum respiration . Decision was reached on Saturday to take an X-ray photograph of the wound for the purpose of locating the bullet. Vice President Roosevelt was informed by the physicians that the President undoubtedly would recover, and that his friends could be so Informed. It was generally expected that tho crisis would be reached within twentyfour hours, the chief dangers being peritonitis, septic poisoning and suppuration of the wound, in the order named. Mrs. McKinley continueel to bear up under the strain with remarkable fortitude and strength. She saw the l'resident for a few minutes tluring the morning. Sentiment at the national capital -was not quite so hopeful on Saturday night. Messages of sympathy poured into the State Department all day, from the rulers and high officials of nearly all the countries of the world. The financial magnates of the country took counsel to prevent a possible t.nfavorable effect of the tragedy and Its immediate consequences on the monetary and commercial interests of the country, and in this they are aided by similar steps taken by the treasury officials at Washington. Anarchist Czolgocz made a lull statement of his crime, and of his preceding efforts to kill the' President. He was under examination six hours. All over Europe a great wave of sympathy is manifesting itself for tho distinguished sufferer at Iiuffalo, for his sorrowing wife and for the American poople. , Indiana.

ADVERTISING CHURCHES

A VIMTOIl CC)1PLAIS IIRCAIH: lit: CAX Girr MJ INFORMATION. Why Churche Do Ant I'uMNli Announcement of SerelccH in Suneltiy Paper Poor Policy. "Why don't the Indianapolis churches advertise their services in the Sunday Journal?" asked a well-known commercial traveler of a reporter wh j chanced to meet him yesterday at one of the hotels. Without waiting for an answer to his question he continued: "My business brings me to this city at the end of the week and for several weeks I have spent my Sundays here. In fact, like a good many other traveling men in this territory, I make it a point to reach Indianapolis on Saturday, if possible, rather than to stay over until Monday in a small town. Now I know it is the fashion to regard traveling men as a gay and frivolous lot whose chief idea Is to have a 'good time' when they are off duty, but the reputation doesn't do us justice. We're about the average, 1 guess, and some of us have the habits of civilization. I, for one, am something of a church-goer when opportunity permits and there are others. Rut I like to go sometimes to one church and sometimes to another where your best 'attractions are. I like to know if the regular minister is to officiate at any services I may think of attending, or if a stranger is to be present; and I like to know if there is to be anything special in the way of music. Rut how am I to find out any of these things if they are not announced in the morning papers? My wife is with me today and she especially wished to go to hear a certain minister, but there was no mention of it in the paper and as it is a good ways up town we concluded not to go, thinking the minister might not have returned from his vacation. I have since learned accidentally that he is at home and held services this morning. Why is it they don't announce their programme for the day?" REPORTER'S INVESTIGATION. The reporter had been asked this question so many times that he had investigated the matter and was able to explain to the seeker for information that some of the various boards of managers, or whatever the official heads of the church organizations might be called, and some of the ministers, cherished an antiquated and unreasonable prejudice against Sunday papers and objected to patronizing them to the extent of inserting a twenty-five-cent ad. They were entirely willing to have reports of their services published in the Monday paper, all the work of which is done on Sunday, but virtuously turned their faces against the editions delivered on Sunday morning. If they knew as early as Friday evening precisely what the Sunday services were to be a thing not always possible they were not unwilling to announce them on Saturday morning; but on Sunday, no! Hence the very incomplete church record, giving strangers, more of whom reael the Sunday edition than any other, an erroneous idea of the religious situation in the town. "Perhaps they would be willing to have you insert the announcement on Sunday if you would do so free of charge," suggested the traveling man. The reporter couldn't say as to that, but he didn't see why, if there was any iniquity about a Sunday ad., its iniquitousness would be any less by making it free. And he didn't see, either, why a paper which wasn't primarily a benevolent institution, but which, nevertheless, gave a great deal of space to gratuitous announcements of church socials, fairs, business meetings, etc., should do all the church advertising for nothing. "Well," the traveling man said, reflectively, "I think the churches are pursuing a very short-sighted policy. They complain because congregations are small, yet they don't invite the public to come. They can't stop the Sunday papers by withholding their patronage, nor even keep their own membership from reading them. Why not take advantage of them, then, to Inform Sunday-paper readers of what they are doing. It's a plain matter of business. People who are likely to attend church don't, as a rule, make their plans the dav before. They don't think of it until Sunday morning, and then they are not likely to hunt up a Saturday paper for information. If they can't get it in Sunday's paper the chances are that they stay at home. This may be true even of regular members of a congregation; It is pretty sure to be of strangers. All thi3 summer thousands of people from all over the State "nave been coming to Indianapolis on Sunday excursion trains respectable, orderly, wellbehaved people. Many of the trains arrive early enough for the visitors to attend morning service if they are so disposed, but I'll venture to say that not an effort has been made to get them there. THE EXCURSIONISTS. "It Is quite probable that few of these excuslonists have any thought of religious services in mind when they leave home, but it will not do by any means to ciass them as non-churchgoing people. Quite the contrary is likely to be the case, for, as a rule, country people and the residents of small towns arc habitual churchgoers. If they k new they would have opportunity to hear the 'big preachers' and the line music in Indianapolis churches it would be an added inducement to some of them to come. And even if they are not churchgoers, isn't that all the morn reason why an effort should be made to make them fcO?" The traveling man by this time had grown quite animated, and was waving his Sunday Journal about vigorously. "Oh, I'm in earnest," ho continued, "i believe in lotting tho public know what's going on in religion as well as In dry goods circles. If I were a preacher I'd make my church advertise and in a big way. r wouldn't stop at a little stingy live-line notice. I'd spread. It wouldn't be sensationalism; it would be business. IM make people know when the church was open and that they would have good music and as good a sermon as I could preach to them, and that they were more than welcome to come. Don't you think such a plan would work well?" The reporter didn't know. THE STEEL STRIKE. Vicvi of n 31 it 11 Who Thinks ShafTcr'a Action I njintPlablc. To the Kditor cf tho Indianapolis Journal: It is a fact that more men are laboring new than at any other time. It is a fact that wages wcro 1 ever better than now. It is a fact that God ordained that man should live by tho sweat of his face, and when men are laboring they are not committing crimes or plotting treason. Labor is, therefore, a blessing. It is a fact, that to labor, when and where he pleases is the birthright of man. It is an encroachment on man's birthright and liberty for certain men to organize into a union and eleclare that no man shall be permitted to woxk unless he belongs to a certain union. This is an Invasion on a man's liberty and on his birthright. It is .1 fact that a man so bound is a slave, and can only work when Shaffer says he may, and he Is bound to quit when this self-selected master says "strike'." It is a fact that God says work, but when Shaffer says "strike" his slaves must obey. It is a fact that thousands of men do not care to join any organization, take any eath to obey, to lote their iibertv. and blindly strike, when some self-seie e-tl-d imperialist says "strike, and go back on a man who iias paid you good wages for years," and one loses Iiis honor by b: caking his contract. 1 believe it to be a fact that the present strike is not for better wages, or tur any oppression or wrong done to them by their employers. It is a fact that the press says that many eif these striking are receiving $J. $i, J5, $. t $Io. $12. U and 51$ per day; that the lowest man gets $7s and tne hignest $12S a month; and they ate now posing before the public, and are asking sympathy and support from the community at large, whei are suffering from employment in eense jurnce ef the strike. All the people of the United States have suffered many millions of dollars in consequence of Shaffer's strike. It is a fact that it is for no cause now existing, but a fear that in the future they may not be employed, but that some other men anions the millions may be emIyed

in their places. They are, theiefore. striking at a Phantom, or a ghost they fear, in the future. Take care of to-day, to-morrow-will e-are for itselr. It N s?.!d to be a fact that Morgan offered t he laboring men to become a part of the trust and to divide, the profits equally among th m-n, according to each man'?' stock, with Morgan and all other owners if stock in the trust. Rut no. they would not do that. And It is a fact, according to the ite. that William J. Bryan, who has been twice turned down by the American people, is reported as saying in his speech at Kansas City, Sept. J. as follows: "I have heard that the true solution of the problem 1-; for laboring men to divide the protits with the trusts. That has been given as; an argument for the trusts, it would be like dividing spoils of the highwayman.. It would be permitting a man to ririe your pockets and then offer to divide the proceeds with you. Such a thing would be immoral and impolitic." Mr. Rryan gives no reason why it would be immoral to divide the protits with the men just as the trust divides with Morgan and all the other stockholders who have an interest in the concerns. It might be impolitic to put the laboring man on an equality with the trusts, for then Mr. Rryan, who teaches the doctrine of hate between one class and another, wuld have 1.0 political show" to hoodwink the people. If the trusts are so rich and divide among their stockholders such large sums, would it be immoral or impolitic to give the laboring man his share? It seems to me that Mr. Morgan's proposition takes all the merit out ef the strike. And who is the friend of labor, Mr. Morgan, who stands up for the right of every man to work, when, where, and for whom lie pleases, or Mr. Shaffer, who says he shall not work unless he belongs to my order, and lie shall strike when I order, anl I will be paid $lä,t a year for superintending the rights of my subjects. I hear ail disinterested nun talk as I have written, i: PLUIIIBL'S L'NL'M. Anderson, Ind., Sept. 7.

THE HEAVENS IN SEPTEMBER. The Harvest Moon uml the Sun's Crossing: of the Equinoctial. New York Times. The full moon which occurs nearest the autumnal equinox is popularly termed the harvest moon. On Sept. I'S the moon will be full. The peculiarity of the full moon that comes nearest Sept. 22 or 23 is that it rises at near the same time for several nights in succession. A full moon always rises about the time the sun sets, but on the evening following the day on which the moon reaches its full stage It rises after sunset at periods ranging from a few minutes to more than an hour, depending on season and latitude. Those intervals arc shorter with the September moons than with those of the other months. The difference of time between successive risings of the moon after sunset, comparing September with March, practically disappears around the euuator and increases with the dis1 tance from that line, being greater here ! than in New Orleans, and greater in Alaska than here. Around the time of the autumnal equinox the angle between the plane of the horizon and that of the ecliptic, or of the path which the earth traverses In Its yearly journey around the sun, is smaller than it is at other times during the year. This is why the moon of that period seems to lise about the same time for several consecutive nights. In England, where so many of the crops are gathered In September, the full moon for the month, which' comes up for many evenings just after sunset, leaving only a brief interval of darkness, was once deemed to be a special provision of Providenco to enable the farmers to continue their work onward into tho night without interruption. Twice eac'.t year around March 21 and Sept. 22 the sun is said to "cross the equinoctial," or "cross the line." The earlier date i.s called the vernal equinox and the latter one the autumnal equinox. When the sun crosses the line it is in the zenith of all places on the equator at noon. Consequently its rays reach from one pole to the other. On or about the above-mentioned dates each year the sun is above the horizon of every point of the earth, and approximately for the same length of time as it is below the horizon. Thus the days and night a those dates, rrraking no allowance lor refraction, are about equal In duration. On Sept. 22 the six-months day at the north pole will end and the six-months night will begin, while at the south pole they will just be beginning to get their spring wardrobes in order, and will be discussing the most successful of our summer shirt waist patterns. The September sky will be alive with clustering constellations that shine with renewd luster in the crisp and pure autumnal atmosphere. Among them may be noted the great square or Pegasus rising In the east, and low down in the northeast is the lovely cluster of the Pleiades. The three stars. Areturus, Vega and Capella, known as the northern brilliants, are specially worthy of observation, for they are all visible, and opinions differ as to which is the brightest of the trio. Early In September Areturus is the brilliant red star near the northwestern horizon, Vega the superb star high in the north, not far west of the meridian, and Capella will be fund in the northeast outshining her neighbors. These three stars form an irregular triangle. On Sept. 2. the day of the full moon, these beautiful bright diamond points will 1-e in about the same position. But planets a . stars will lose their luster when, at the close of the month, the rounded orb of the harvest moon looms above the eastern horizon as the sun sinks below the western, and "seated in her silver car" rises slowly to the zenith, putting out the smaller stars and Hooding the earth with silvery light. Three cf the planets roach the position of quadrature in September, the first one being Uranus, which arrives there on the 5th and then hurries along toward conjunction with the sun. where it will be early In December. This is one of the evening stars and is found not very far from Antares, which is the bright star of the constellation of the Scorpion. The next of the brotherhood to reach the quarter post is Neptune, and his arrival there makes him a very bad second to Uranus, as ho does not get to the mark until the 2."th. Beforo this, on the 6th, we have this planet and the lessening crescent of the moon in conjunction, and so we see that Neptune is a morning star for the present, being the only one o his class lor the month. Jupiter, on the 2Sth. the day of the wonderful full moon, is the third planet that reaches quadrature on his way to fight more closely with Venus for the supremacy of the evening sky. Alter the middle of November they will be at their closest. Mercury is moving away to the eastward from the sun, and is, consequently, another of the evening stars, but in response to the great attraction of the sun he turns again to the westward and becomes a morning star some time before the great struggle between the two larger and more Important planets above mentioned. Mercury and the two days' old moon are in a somewhat distant conjunction on the 14th. Saturn sets shortly after midnight, and will be in quadrature early in October, being the only planet for that month to reach that distinguished position. Tills" is tho planet that is so close to Jupiter. The latter gets to his highest Altitude at about :Z) in the evening and Saturn gets there about S o'clock. Jupiter is a bit further ; south, not quite a degrf however, and in the latter part 01 govern nor tne two planets will he almost close enough to touch one another. Mars, another evening star, has the distinction for the month of being occulted by the moon, there 1-e.ing but eleven minutes of are separating the two on the 16th.

Here are a few cheerful accidents befalling some French autornobilists in France, nil within one day: An out-of-town doctor, hurrying in his car to visit 'a patient to whom he bad been presdngly summoned, threw his vehicle violently on one side to avoid running over a dog.

Seme laborers found an automobile bottom upward on the high road. Beneath, a man was lying insensible in a pool of blood. Picked up and taken to the nearest farmhouse, he recovered consciousness, but said lie had no recollection of the circumstance s of the accident. He was frightfully injured.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES

"WAlTHIt fAMP'S i:ri.AXATIOV OF THE HEYIüKi) HEGl LATIO.N. Several Important CIiniiKe "Which Indite 11 11 CoIIckcs 11ml HIkIi Schools Will .otc with Interest. Spalding's Official Football Guide. The changes in the rules for the season of 1)1 will not prove serious in the way of their effect upon the play. They are more after the order of rendering more explicit the existing rules and placing sufficient power in the hands of the ofiicials to insure the enforcement of those rules. For the last three years the popular feeling has been that the game when properly conducted Is thoroughly satisfactory and that if the officials enforce the rules the result is always a fair one and the game of the most interesting kind when equally matched teams meet. The exact alterations which have been made In the rules this season by the committee are as follows: In Rule 4 of the Guide, Section D, there is a further definition of a safety, namely, that a safety is made when the ball, kit-Keel by a man behind his goal line, crosses the extension of the side line belnnd tiie goal line. It was generally supposed that the rules did not provide for such a contingency, but as a matter of lact they did. When a man standing behind his own goal attempted to kick the ball out and made such a poor kick of it that the ball did not cross his goal line at all, but crossed what would be the extension of the side line, and thus went into touch, by the existing rules the ball was dead as soon as it crossed the side line. But also by another rule when a ball was kicked out of bounds it did not go to the man who first obtained possession of it, but to the opponents. Hence a kick of this kind would result in the opponents having possession of the ball in touch. But then they must bring it to the point where the side line was crossed by tne ball and there put it m play. The result would be that they would bring it down behind the kicker's goal, and immediately upon putting it in play there they would huid it on the ground and thus secure a touchdown. In other words, a ball which, kicked by a man behind his own goal line, did not cross the goal line, but crossed the side line meant, if the rules were followed out, a touchdown for the opponents. This seemed rather a severe penalty for the misplay, and it was determined by the rules committee that such a play should be ruled a safety instead of a touchdown for the opponents. Hence the new rule. The second alteration is under Rule 10 of the Guide, note. This formerly defined "ahead of the ball" as "between the opponents' goal and a line parallel to the goal line and passing through the center of the ball." As a matter of fact this was inconsistent with some of the other rules where the forward point of the ball is taken as the line. The rule was therefore altered so that instead of reading as it did in the former edition, it reads, "passing through the point of the ball nearest the goal line of the side not in possession of the ball." The next alteration occurs in Uule 12 of the Guide, Section E. The difficulty that caused the alteration in this rule has not been appreciated very much 'In the big games in the East, but there have been occasions even there where the delay of the game was prolonged unreasonably. As a matter of fact it was found that although the rules committee intended that no delay should result over two minutes, an obstreperous team would make it more nearly four minutes in this way: Acting under Kule 12 (e) that no delay arising from any cause whatsoever should continue more than two minutes, they would delay, supposedly for injured player, for the full two minutes. Then the referee would tell them time was up and they must play. But they would manage to occupy nearly two minutes longer by refusing to play, claiming under Kule 28, Section G, that the referee could not give the game forfeit to the other side until fully two minutes after he had ordered them to play. Just before the expiration of the fourth minute they would play. With this contention in mind, the ruies committee added to Rule 1-, Section E, tne following: "Any delay thereafter shall be penalized under Rule 27 (e) 2$ (c.)" It means that after the consumption of two minutes live yards shall be given for further delay of the game, this in no way interfering with the referee's making them forfeit the game at the end of two minutes of such delay. In other words, they will lose distance for delay as well as forfeit the game if they do not go one at the end of two minutes more. Rule 13, Section D, first line, the word "kick" is changed to read "punt, or drop kick" for further clearness. Rule 14, Section B. the words are Inserted after the words "fair catch" "when kicked after touching the ball in at the side line." This was an omission in the former rules. Under Rule 17 there has been added to Section A "any such interference shall be regarded as delay of the game," Rule 2S (c.) This was to insure the abandonment of pulling and hauling the opponents in the rush line. Rule 21 of the Guide, Section B, the following clause was added: "Unless this should result to the advantage of the offending side, when the down and the distance to be gained shall remain the same." It is clear that this is what was intended in former ruling, but it had not been made definite enough. Rule 22, Section A, before the word "or," are inserted the words "at least ten yards." That is, a man touching the hall In at right angles to the side line and thus putting it in play by a kick, must kick it at least ten yards. Rule 23, to Section A was ndded the clause providing that the referee shall make a signal with his hand when a team i.i trying for goal immediately upon the touching of the ball to the ground. This has been the custom of officials for some time, but has never been clearly stated in the rules. Rule 2S, Section D, Paragraph 2. the words "is attempting to" were changed to "has an opportunity for," in order that the official should judge when there was a real chance of a man making a fair catch. Rule ES. Section Kv has been altered so as to make the rule broader and make it apply to any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct not elsewhere provided for. This completes the list of alterations, and, ns will bo seen, there is very little that affects the play directly. A ( oxstam i.nopm; cotili.o.v. At Hie American .Minister's with American Figures ami Favors. London Telegraph. One of the most brilliant entertainments ever seen in Constantinople was that recently given by Mr. Leishman. the American minister, in honor of his daughter's birthday. The feature of the evening was the cotillon, which was led by Miss Irishman and Mr. Eddy of the American legation, assisted by Miss Singer and Mr. Fouquiet. It would take too long to describe all the figures, but some were very striking and novel. Everything had been most carefully prepared to the smallest detail. The ballroom was entirely decorated in pink, and all the favors used in the cotillon were made to match. In a very short time the scene became brilliant, as some of the first favors distributed were for ladies, pink and silver gauze butterflies, and silver gauze stars for the gentlemen. A most amusing figure was that in which each gentleman received a large Dutch pipe which produced musical sounds and enabled him to assist the band. Another surprise wa? a small house Into which two ladies were shut. However, when the door was opened to the crowd of expectant partners, only one lady appeared. In place of the other, a dummy dressed as a negress, fell Into the arms of the eager gentleman nearest the door, who had to waltz his unpleasant partner round the room. Another special feature was the entrance of the grand vizier's dwarf lent for the occasion who appeared leading a baby donkey, loaded with flowers. Mr. Irishman's son also came in as an American postman and distributed letters. Great amuement was also caused by a series of fencing matches, in which the foils were tipped with powder puffs, the gentleman who first dabbed his adversary with powder carrying off the lady. The last figure e-ould hardly have b-. en prettier. Each gentleman was provided with a huge artitlcial rose, and at a given moment began shaking it over his partner, who was covered in an instant with showers of rese leaves. At the same moment a gigantic cornucopia attached to the roof suddenly pouied out a, shower of real roses. When the cotillon was over supper was provided on the terrace overlooking the Bosphorus.
