They have found it at last. The driver of the electric car is to be called the "motprneer."

The commencement tide has flooded the land, and the sheepskin is the document of the day.

The Times-Star says "Cinciunatians

A Brooklyn woman recently throw a shoe at a cat and broke her husband's nose. They are now trying to rebridgo the difficulty, also the nose.

Iii Salt Lake City they speak of the electric cars as "lee" cars. The word electricity Is thus shown to be like other things when thoroughly salted it occupies less space.

Enthusiastic friends are courageously pushing forward John O. Carlisle for Presidential candidate. In this connection tho thought occurs that the U. S. tax on whiskey is still the same.

Picnic time is here, and everybody is longing for a holiday in the woods. All •who can should take not only one, but many such holidays, even at.a sacrifice. Your health \yill bo better for it.

Another German nobleman has becomo an American bar tender, this one locating in Albany, N. Y. Tho good news is said to be spreadlug like wild fire among his noble associates abroad.

Once It was considered marvelous when a man's life was saved by a deck of cards on an Inside pocket catching tho bullet. Now it is considered marvelous when his life is lost, decks have apparently become so numerous.

Black leo cream Is the latest fad in Chicago! It is colored with charcoal and is said to taste the same as any other Ice. Black predominates everywhere. Babies, poor innocent little things, are dressed In it, misses suffer in It, ladles tolerate it, and now the men are adopting it. Truly this Is tho night of the fashions.

Two hundred and sixty farmers' alliances are said to have boon organized in Nebraska in one month. If these organisations brlug about tho good they declare it their desire to accomplish, 2(50,000 will be in existence within the next year. If not, the 260 and a great many others will speedily fall to pieces.

A bill Is on the calendar in congress providing heavy penalties Tor the display of confederate flags. The passage of such a measure would no doubt be unwise so long as anarchists and socialists are allowed to Haunt their dirty red rags. But suppress the latter and it will soon enough be easy to do away with the former.

It is now mht twenty weeks until Congressional elections are to take place. Tho accent on the only should be observed. Tt usually requires about two years to decide on a Congressional candidate, and if the political workers have not dittnttely made up their minds a very do elded acceleration should develop itself in their movements.

Hraxll has been the first to ratify the recommendation of the Pan-American Congress that all international disputes lo settled by arbitration.

Why is it Boston fcs continually ridleuiled? **o«te papers have gone so far as to make rediculous comment on the report in Boston paper of a lecture in which the lecturer "spoke with exquisite delicacy, Impassioned inspiration, lightsome Illustration and deepest devotion.'- From such unjust ridicule one would be ted to suppose that Boston once waa an Intelligent community.

Speaking of Terre Haute's big day last week, the Indianapolis Sun gave the city a

very

complimentary notice, and con­

cluded with a portion of James Whitcomb Riley's eulogy, which under the present circumstances it is very pleasant to reprint:

Take even statesmanship and writ And glncrel glt-up-aud-gitr— Ole Terry Hut is sourfd clean through!— 0 0

And where's as clean

A fl-nan-*cer as Rile McKeen— Er puorer in his daily walk, In railroader In raceln' stock! *. All these Is reasons why I put Bach bulk o'faith in Terry Hut.

Tho Indianapolis Journal was asked if the sense of humor, otherwise termpd^ the ability to see a joke, is an inborn or a cultivated quality, and replied that it thought so. "Furthermore, practical experience has demonstrated, as far as two or three empirical cases can demonstrate anything^" it said, "that systematic and patient 'diagraming' of jokes can, within a year or two, develop an (occasional) sense of humor where it was absolutely lacking." So you see. If you cannot appreciate a funny thing, by constantly reading the Express C. O. D's you will soon arrive at an advanced state of culture which will make it possible.

Congratulations are extended to Col. U. W. Thompson 011 the successful completion of his 81st year, and with them go wishes that he may celebrate many more anniversaries of June 0th, 1809. The very oldest of old age seems but tho reward of one who has done so much for his fellow mon and who has received so little from them in return. It is true Col. Thompson haa had honors showered upon him for fully half a century, but ho has deserved them all. In public I ifo lie has been a constant workor and to his individual efforts may be attributed a large portion of Republican successes in Indiana and in the United States general for many years. One of his most popular lectures is one in which he has recounted his personal recollections of Presidents from the time of Adams. This locture, though seemingly complete, has one or two more chapters which are to be added after the pFectl^im^fj^, xii 1806. Possibly then the story will end, but not before, it is sincerely hoped.

STUKKT CAII lMrOMTKXKSS, This quotation, taken trom a Boston paper, hits tho nail exactly on the head, not only in Boston but in Torre Haute: '•Woman's impolltoness to woman in the street cars is one of tho exceptions to tho feminine instinct of good manners." Thore surely is no city in the United States where there is more ground for such an assertion than here. Day after day the fact is noticeable. One trip in a Maiu streetcar, if at the time of day when many people are travelling, will suffice to clearly demonstrate the truth. There may be but four or five vacant seats remaining in a car. If so, tho illustration of the impoliteness charged is almost sure to take place, and it will likely come about in this manner. Two ladles and probably one man will board the car. By some marvelous adjustment of draperies all five seats will be spread over. Then another lady will enter, and In vain she will look around for a seat. Tho other women and all the men In the car know there is plenty of room for her but although the men crowd along not enough space appears. The poor woman looks helpless and In vain appeals with her- eyes for the selfish female occupants to crowd up. Just about this time it happens, in nearly overy case, that the two or three women who are filling half a doxen seats begin to glare at the men in the car for the great impoliteness they exhibit in not getting up and making room for the unfortunate late comer. Exasperated beyond endurance, some man gets up and offers his place, whereupon an expression of satisfaction settles upon the faces of the three fair oc* cu pants of six sections. This scene is of such frequent occurrence on big days, ©specially in the open cars, that conductor almost lose control of themselves. Perhaps one did when a few days ago, he sharply requested two ladies to move oyer, adding: "I cannot understand why or how a few women can have the nerve to take a whole row of seats when there are fifteen others on the car who cannot find Mats. It simply passes my comprehension." It is said the expression on the face* of the persona addressed was one of positive luxury to the Ion* rows or men on the side steps.

Sometimes adults argue themselves Into the belief that they know what real happiness la, and that they enjoy It occasionally themselves. Perhaps they do, but the one who visits Ctallett park on a pleasant Afternoon and witnesses the indescribable joy of the little ones picniclog there the thought comes that they are surely mistaken. It seems impossible for an older person to realize, let alone feel such delights as are evidenced in every action of the children. Imagine a condition of abeolnte absence of care of any kind, regrets for thing* gone by, or dark anticipation of things to comes if yon can, and then yon will

and Main street was comparatively quiet. As the street cars passed down toward Third, the children ?ang "Home. Sweet Home" with as much- .freedom as though still in the park. Many a man on his way homeward turned round to listen, and the thought is ventured that more than one secretly wished there could be an exchange of places if onl^" for an hour.

THE COMMENCEMENT SEASON." There is always a peotfffar charm to commencement week. It may be because so many are personally interested in the success of the active participants, or it may be that the social features are such ag to be attractive. Which ever it is, nearly every one hails with pleasure the coming of the festive week. New dresses by the wholesale and new suits without end are ordered, all of which go to mase the week of graduating exercises, receptions, banquets and so on a very swell period. All do not agree in the idea that every detail is pleasant, but there is at least one feature on which the sentiment is unanimous, and that is that a very good portion of the ordeal,' no matter how enjoyable, is exceedingly tiresome. This is never breathed, howevei, until everything is over, and then it comes coupled with a sigh of relief.

This house, in respect of regularity of plan and extent, is the most remarkable which has been unearthed. It was in the center of the city close to the baths and "near the Forum. Including the gaiden, which occupied the third of the whole length, the area on which it stood ^as about three hundred feet by one hurdred, making it a hundred feet 'ion«-er than Mr. Smith's copy.

MY DEAU RUTH: Every friend who goes to St. Augustine, tells me in the most glowing terms, of the wonderful magnificence of the Moorish villa Zorttvda, which Mr. Franklin Smith, of Bos a r*1 ton, built down there for his winter]I 'ntiHSBt, occurred the most gorgeous home.

the best known and most sutnptuo^^iplore^ except the North Polo. It Knti vAf MHhai*thar1 'ttfs {llfAnM Hnnill in fcllf) (if th6 villa which has yet been uhearthed'at Pompeii. The idea does not seem fo have been entirely original with him, for once upon a time the King of Bavaria commenced the reproduction of a Pompeian villa, but he died and it was never finished. Then Prince Napoleon tried his hand at it in Paris, but it ended In simply a classic hall with French decorations. It remained for Mr. Smith of Boston, to carry the idea to completion, He had no end of trouble in doing it, for the Italian government guard the models with great jealousy. Then he found it difficult to get artists familiar with the peculiar style of coloring. Every year for ten years he took artists well known in the French salon to Pompeii, in order that they might study the style and color of the decoration. Money and perseverance will overcome all obstacles. So, after ten years, Mr. Smith's dream is realized, and two weeks ago, this villa, as perfect is every detail and as elegant in its appointments as any that were buried in Pompeii, was thrown open to the public. You are so familar with the photograph of the dog in Mosaic, and the inscription underneath him, "Cave canum," that he will seem like an old friend when you see him again in the vestibule of this Villa at Saratoga. Around the walls are busts of Socrates, Plato, Homer and Cicero. You draw aside a rich portiere and the word "Salve," in Mosaic, greets your eye as you enter the atrium or main hall, and here, judging from the description I read, you will be almost bewildered by the vista which stretches out before you and the magnificence displayed everywhere. It is two hundred feet from the entrance of the main hall to the walls of the garden. This space is divided into courts and halls and all most luxuriously furnished Classic lamps, tripods, couches, vases, fresco®^ statuary and brotixm are everywhere. In the marble basin of the fountain in the main hall the lotus plant is blooming. The marble bath room has the deep sea scene copied from the ceiling of the bath in Diomed's villa* the whole ceiling painted to represent water and fish of the most vivid tinta swimming about. The banqueting hall is arranged with a

aeml-circular

couch covered with rich stuff#, pillows covered wi Lh the same, on which the guests Secline at meals. Behind this banqueting hall is the Sararium or household temple. A bas-relief of a sacrificial procession of the gods makes the decoration of the altar. Vases for holding the ashes of the dead stand on either side. The kitchen and everything in it is copied exactly after that in the bouse of Pansa—the stove, the spits^ and the cooking utensils joat as they were left 2,000 years ago. There are numbers of other rooms all equally magnificent. This house of Bum is supjKwed to have been the residence of one of the chief men of Pompeii. When it was first excavated it had the words Paus&m AED. in large lettors painted in ired near the principal entranoe, but they are now obliterated.

toould seem in the fatie of the nardships and failures of those who have gone bofore, that no one would again be found to make other attempt, but always some one appears who wants to try again. Hs is on hand now, and his name is Dr. Nansen. Ho has the bl )od of the Vikings in his veins, and stranger than all, his countrymon are going to defray the greater part of the expense of the expedition. Think of it! Little Norway, with her limited resources, her slow, cautious ways, and her forced traditions of economy. Dr. Nansen, the heir of all the ages of Artie exploration, is going to make an attempt to reach the pole, not by sailing on water, but through and on the ice floes. The wooden vessel he has planned is to be heavily plated with zinc, provided with an engine of six miles speed, full rigged as well, and supplied with material to build a roof in winter. It is to be made as strong as possible, and just large enough to carry food and coal for twelve men for five years. Dr. Hansen's plan is after passing the Siberian islands, to enter the current to which the Jeanette was exposed, and then make his way info the ice floes, which according to the peculiar shape and construction of his vessel, will have no other power than to lift it higher on the ice drift and bear it on. He does not anticipate any trouble when he reaches the Polar sea, for thero are no breakers on its shores. As to reaching the exact pole, Dr. Nansen says: "If there is land, we are almost sure of success if water, it seems probable that the rotation of the earth would send a northwesterly current across the pole. However, curious it would be to turn around with the earth on one's own axis and to see the pendu-lum-instrument's plane of rotation describe an angle of exactly fifteen degrees in an hour, all scientific investigation would have an equal value at some little distance from ttye pole." Even if the ship should be destroyed, Dr. Nansen feels no fear of the life that would be before them. Several of tnecrew have had experience in travelling in Ice fioee.' Capt, Otto Sverdruas, the distil guished member of the Greenland expedition, will have the nautical command of thia one. GEHAI.XISE.

SUCCESS OF BOSTON SCHOOL GIRLS IN DRAMATIZING VIRGIL'S JENEID— NEWEST BRIDAL GOWN-HOW .TO CONVERSE WELL. «&Mi

Only a Boston girl would dare undertake the task of dramatizing Virgil's yEneid, retaining the defunct language of the Latins. There are in the second and third classes of the Girl's Latin School more than a score of devoted students of Latin who were so thoroughly in love with the hero of Virgil's poem that they determined to immortalize his wonderings by portraying them before a Boston audience. The effort was a success of course. Not a word of English was spoken while the ourtain was up. Of course there were some, even in a Boston audience, who were a little "rusty" in their Latin, but they were not kept in ignorance of what was going on on the stage. The acting was realistic, and although a trifle amateurish at times, left no doubt in the minds of. the spectators as to what was meant to be represented. The story of each act was told in English before the rise of the curtain. The task of arranging tho play was done by the girls without assistance, it is claimed. Their ages are between fifteen and eighteen years. They committed to memory several hundred linos of Latin, studied the characters until they were made thoroughly familiar with the roles they were to assume, arranged their costumes, and provided their own scenery. Theaeleiotion of costumes bothered them more thaflfcanythingelse. They put hi a deal of hard study. The libraries were ransacked for books relative to t^subjeet, and other channels of information were explored. They knew that there must be some slight difference in the cost»»i|flies of males aud females, and thoy rettog-

garments. But their modesty would not permit them to be tod:e#act in reproducing the male attiro 1'

Bridal gowns show in their make-up the ruling pttesion for tinsel.

Then the low front of tho surpliced bodice, and the demi-longsleeves are of tho tulle or chiffon, and banded with beads, pearls and Rhine stones. The back and the train are of satin or peau de Perse, while the side panel or panels, tho pointed belt and ita pendants, arc glittering, shimmering rivieres of Rhine stones and beads. Orange buds and blossoms frame the panel, form the shoulder knots and corsage bouquet. At a recent wedding in Detroit the bride wore a rich gown of white satin and silver brocade, with long princess train corsage high necked, puffed Bleeves garniture of white roses. A diamond crescent held in place a veil of Brussels not and point lace a pendant of different colored pearls hung on a pearl necklace bouquet of white violeta and lilies of-the-valley. The six brideamaida wore Marie Antoinette gowns of heayy white silk, with full frou-frou ruflles around the foot of the skirt. The corsago was made high in the neck, with a Marie Antoinette cape of white mousseline de sole, fastened diagonally across the front with silver passementerie. Each wore a modified Marie Antoinette headdress of pearls, with a bunch of white feathers in the back. The first couple carried lilac orchids, the second pink moss rosebuds and the laat violets and mignonette.

"Women make strange mistakes in the artistics—to coin a word—of dress," says an artist, "but one of the strangest is the way in which they treat their necks when wearing a low corsage Nearly every woman believes that a black velvet band heightens the beauty of her neck. Especially if be long and slender, does she insist upon putting black velvet about it. And thus she makes It look ,even longer and slenderer. The effect of black close up to the neck and face is always to wake them look thin A very stout woman, with a neck too plump, may employ the black band with advantage, but the thin woman should wear a light ribbon, white or blue, or a string of pearls or of gold beads. If she wants to produce the pleasantest effect."

A J|arge four-leaf clover formed of "«uus«t" roses is the fashionable floral design for June wedding*. It ia suspended from the ceiling by broad streamer* of cream white satin ribbon, directly over the place the bride and groom stand during the ceremony. A pretty belief connected with the clover IK that one leaf stands for fame, one for wealth, one for health, and one for lifelong happiness.

You don'c want to object to the divorce laws when the man you are talking to may have married a divorced woman. You don't want to talk about bleached hair to a woman whoso hair ii prououncedly yellow, nor to discuss how injurious is rouge and powder to a weman who is made up in a most decided manner. In your heart you may object to all these things, but you are not giving expression just now to what you think you are simply making yourself pleasant to some one whom you have met to-day and may never meet again.
