Bismarck on the throne of France! Bismarck was once spoken of in that connection, and by Napoleon too! It was during the detention of the dethroned emperor at Wilhelmsbohe in 1S71, when Napoleon and some members of bis staff were discussing the probability of Xapoleou reascending the French throue and news of the doings of the commune was brought in. "Horrible too horrible.1" exclaimed le petit empeieur. And then after a long silence he resumed, "I know a man who if on tbe French throne would be master of Germany in six months." "His name, sire?" asked bis nephew. Prince Murat "Bismarck, replied the emperor as he turned on his heel. City Statistics

WILL GIVE $10,000

TO LOCAUOLLEGE Richmond People Will Be Asked to Contribute that Sum to Earlham. Before June 21 the trustees of Earl ham college with the aid of the Young Men's Business Club and the Commer cial Club expect to raise from among local merchants and friends of the institution $10,000 which will be this city's share towards the debt of $50,000 Hojr existing against the college. En dorsement was given to the plan at the meeting of the Commercial club directors on Monday evening, following a report of George H. Knollenberg. chairman of the committee on educa tion, in which he stated that the club cotumittee was working in conjunction with the debt campaign officials of the college. Because of the benefit, in a financial way, the college is to Richmond, the club feels there will be little difficulty in raising the sum asked from Richmond residents. The Young Mien's Business club directors will meet on Wednesday evening at the home of Stephen Kuth, east of the city, at which time this matter will be considered. The club's action will no doubt be similar to that of the older commercial organization and a strong endorsement is anticipated. The money must be raised before commencement day. It is expected that both organizations will appoint special committees toco-operate with the college representatives in the making of subscriptions. With the $50,000 raised, $30.63 already having been pledged, Earlham college will be entirely free of debt. Within the last twenty-four hours the fund jumped over a thousand dollars or from $20,114 to $30,463. END HOT IN SIGHT Congress Will Not Adjourn Until Reciprocity Vote. fXatiiw.l News Association) Washington, Juno 6. Representa. tive Korbly, cf Indiana, is the authority for the statement that it will be the policy of the house leaders to hold the senate in eession until the senate finance committee reports house bills covering the free list and other reductions of tariff duties and the senate affords an opportunity to vote on them. Korbly himself, believes this will injure the prolongation of the session far into tae fail. Other members of the house, interviewed today, did not as a rule share the views of Korbly. They think of the house ' passes the measures and sends them to the senate it will have discharged its full duty before the country and the country will know where to place fhn reRnriTiKiV)i!'t v fnr failure to act in the senate. It is the opinion in I the senate that the free list and other tariff bills coming over from the iiouse will never be reported out of the senate comiltee. The predictions as to the date of the adjournment of congress vary from a date not earlier than August 1 to September 1. The senate will probably not reach a vote late in July. It is generally believed the bill will ultimately pass, although it is admitted the president probably complicated matters and added to the delay by his speech in Chicago. The White Shark. The shark of sharks, the real "man eater" and the one most dreaded, is the white shark. This variety reaches a length of thirty-five feet and a weight of 2,000 pounds. Its head is long and fiat, and the snout far overbangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth are sharp as lancets and notched like saws. Its mouth Is very large, so that one has been known to cut a man's body completely in two at a single snap of its cruel jaws and another to swallow one at a gulp. Near Calcutta one of these sharks was seen to swallow a bullock's bead, horns and all. From the stomach of another a bull's bide was taken entire, and the sailor who made the discovery insisted that the bull had been swallowed whole and all except the hide had been di? gested. From the stomach of another was taken a lady's workbox filled with the usual contents, scissors and all. It Is commonly the white shark which follows tbe vessel at sea day after day and week after week. The Retort Courteous. "Camp Meeting" John Allen was a famous Methodist preacher and revivalist of the old days down in Maine, and. like most successful pulpit orators, his sense cf humor was equal to his gift of speech. It is recalled by the Boston Journal that on one occasion 'the old gentleman's wife was getting into a carriage, and he neglected to assist ber. "You are not as gallant. John, as when you were a boy!" she exclaimed in gentle rebuke. "No," was his ready response, "and you are not as buoyant as when you were a gall" In His Father's Footsteps.

EASTER PARTIES.

Quaint Decorations For Children's Entertainments. FASTER DECORATIONS. Entertaining during Easter can scarcely be considered bad form when its object Is to give the children innocent pleasure. So. then, the Easter rabbit and the Easter chick are fas cinating creatures aud can be used to such advantage iu table docoration and the making of Easter favors that it seems a pity there should not be more Easter purtles. If one's conscience is particularly sensitive in regard to Easter frivoiities the Easter party may be held a week after Easter. Charm iog favors are in the shape of large papier maclie eggs mounted on wands, a rabbit's bend peeping out of the egg and its surface being covered with pictures of flowers, either band painted or of the transfer kind. A knot of rib bon finishes the handle. A yellow- haired child could be dress ed to represent Easter. Over her lit tie short full skirt of white crinkly paper have a sort of pannier effect, made up of numerous yellow ribbons with tiny yellow chicks on tbe ends. These should hang from a belt of soft yellow satin. A garland of these tiny chickens on the hair and one perching on the toes of the little white pumps would not be a bad idea. And why not have a brother and sister piesent the red and blue goblins so familiar to good and bad children? Large sailor hats can easily be covered with red and blue; then on the white wash suits can be arranged large colored sailor collars. Colored belts and colored silk stockings will complete the costumes with almost no trouble. A brown haired little girl may be dressed as a rainbow by using filmy chiffon of the rainbow hues. Silver slippers and a silver coronet In the hair will complete this bit of loveli ness. THE TAILORED HAT. Simple Designs Favored by the Business Woman. "When 1 proposed to Angelina it was because she always wore such simple bats," and a business man who had married his stenographer sighed, for be knows better now. A plain bat is not an infallible indication of economy on the wearer's part. Sometimes the simplest hats are tbe most expensive. This is especially true of the ultra chic tailored bats, which are not only built FANAMA HAT. of the choicest materials, but owe their smartness to tbe skill of the trained hand and eye under whose auspices they come into being. Such a hat as the one illustrated here is of tbe finest panama straw, the rolled brim of a special fancy weave and showing an up to date touch in the band of velvet that trims tbe edge. Aside from the stiffened lace bow that perches so Jauntily above tbe brim, it is almost guiltless of trimming. Worn with a tailor made dress of light cloth, it marks Its wearer as a young woman f taste and discrimination. BROWN VELVET The new shade in Pump, $3.00 At Tcoplc's

By the time the claim was collected it amounted to $386,000, of which amount Foster received $184,000 for his services. New Combination Footwoar. One of the latest hints from. Paris is the flowered stocking combined for effect with the gemmed slipper. The designer of this pretty combination made richly embroidered stockings, the figures being flowers of any kind to suit tbe wearer's fancy, and set FLOWERS ON STOCKINGS, OEMS OH TOES. gems in tbo toe part of tbe velvet slippers. Only the rich, of course, can afford highly gemmed slippers, but tbe beflowered hosiery is cheaper and may be had at a nominal cost, though some of tbe designs are very elaborate and are priced high. Created Garments. Clothes packed away during the summer are often very creased. To remove the creases hang the articles eu a clothesline In tbe bathroom, shut door and window, turn on the hot water tap to fill the room with steam and leave the clothes for an hour or two.
