BLOOM IN GTON, INDIANA. Most of the issues before the people carry more crew in the quarter deck than in the forecastle. Senator Stewart has been making financial speeches in New England. He got the Quincy granite heart. The Richmond Dispatch suggests the tobacco plant for the national flower. The nation ought to favor that suggesUon, perhaps, because tobacco plants so saany dudes. The accounts furnished by the winders of the Chicago road race of the way they won are good enough sermons in brief for any young man in any walk (or ride) of life. "I got right at it and plugged," they each say in substance, "and every man I saw ahead of me I passed." That is the formula of success. It made little difference to Lord Rosebery that the house of commons expressed its contempt for a sporting premier, otherwise good for nothing, by refusing for the second time in its history to adjourn for Derby day. So long as Lord Rosebery wins racing stakes it is of no moment to him what his party or the country loses. The city of Glasgow, Scotland, proposes, to build a home for widows and widowers with children. In this new home a man or a woman with children may find comfortable lodgings at a cost of about 16 cents a day, and children will be fed at a cost of about 35 cents a week. The people of Glasgow have reduced their charities to a businesslike basis, where they cease to be charities and become self-supporting institutions that d- not pauperize the people. Carey Lea's experiment in chemical action may have a prai leal value. He recently obtained metallic mercury from corrosive sublimate by triturating the sublimate in thin powder until mechanical force became chemical action and the sublimate was resolved into it3 elements. The experiment may have a bearing on the reduction of metallic ores, especially those of the precious metals. It is possible that a strong electric current may be successfully substitut-1 for the trituration. The Railroad Gazette in its next issue will publish a tabulation cf orders for freight cars placed by railroad companies this year, which places the number at 22,029. Besides cars ordered, bids are out now for an additional 3,000 cars approximctely. The passenger cars ordered amount to seventy-two, with contracts for thirteen more to be given out shortly. This represents an investmei.- of over ten million dollars. The Railroad Gazette says that the total output of the contracting car shops for five months of this yer exceeds that cf the entire year 1894 by over 5,000 cars. A Washington dispatch says that large opportunities for the introduction of American machinery and the investment of American capital are offered by the peace agreement Japan has just effected with China. A provision is made that China- shall hereafter be open to the introduction of all forms of modern machinery, and that such machinery shall be admitted free of duty. American cotton machinery should benefit specially from the new opening presented, as should also telephones, electric lights, printing presses, and many other devices of civilization which heretofore have been kept out cf China. Eight hundred school children in New York went on a rampage last week because the proprietor of an entertainment advertised to give each child a handsome present an2 then distributed brass rings that they didn't like. They tore the interior decorations of tie hall to pieces, smashed the windows, broke chairs, and did other damage, amounting In all to about $300. A number of arrests were made. Little folk are fast acquiring big folks' tempers and bad habits. With the pace set by Chicago's Industrial Home girls and the New York school children the regular, oldfashioned rioters will have to hump themselves to keep up. Musical stockings are among the latest freaks of fashion. They are not audibly musical, however, merely visibly so. Their openwork bands, running perpendicularly up the ankles, are patterned in the notes and bars of the musical clef. Of course, different tunes are U3ed for different occasions. Upon full dress hosiery grand opera arias are appropriately inscribed. Lighter compositions appear upon those dedicated to functions less important, and for every-day stockings ruite every-day ditties are used. Stockings to be worn upon Sunday clone are an interesting phase o" tha fashion. These are, of course, embellished with hymn tunes and other sacred music. David Weaver of Cairo, Ritchie county. W. Va., on wh03e land a big 240-ibarrels-a-day oil well was struck one day, last wek, died the next day of :heart disease resulting from excitement .over his stroke of good fortune. He had been a poor man all his life and the prospect of sudden wealth was too much for him. It is cheering to know that Gen. Bushnell is not a candidate for president. That simplifies the Ohio situation, leaving only three candidates in that state.

AN OLD GAME.

A Soody-Looklnff Fellow Tries the An-" rlent Glove Racket. "Say, Buffalo must be about twenty years behind the times, ain't it?" saM a drummer at the Tifft house yesterday. "I saw a man try to work the old glove racket in front of the hotel today. I had gotten the idea that the glove game was too old to be worked by any one. The Buffalo man was too cute to be caught, though, so perhaps the only antiquity in the town was th man that resurrected the old game to raise a dollar. "Did you ever see it worked? No? You ought to have been here a couple of hours ago. A well-dressed gentleman was walking down the street when a seedy-looking individual who wa3 standing in the doorway suddenly stepped out behind the gentleman and dropped a glove at his ntlfls without the man seeing him. "Then he tapped him on the shoulder. " 'Say, mister, is that your glove? "The gentleman answered in the negative and was about to walk away when the framp stooped and picked up the glove. Fumbling it over he soon pulled out a ring from one of the fingers. It looked like a genuine diamond ring, too. "Of course the tramp had a surprised look cn his face. He said to the gentleman: " 'Say, mister, I'm a poor man and can't afford to keep anything like this, but It was a pretty lucky find, wasn't it? What'll you give me for the ring?" "The gentleman looked the ring over carefully and then handed it back to the tramp with a laugh. " 'I guess I don't want that thing not just now, anyway,' and he walked away. "There was a time when the police found it necessary to arrest men for working that dodge," continued the drummer, "but I guess they have forgotten their last 'catch' by this time." ENGLISH IN SOUND. A Unique Puzzling Composition by a 13-Year-Old Schoolgirl. The Northwestern Magazine gives the following unique composition written by a 12-year-old school girl. Let our young readers see if they cannot make it still more puzzling: "A right suite little buoy, the son of a kernel, with a rough round his neck, flue up the road as quick as a dear. After a thyme he stopped at the house and wrung the belle. His tow hurt hymn and he kneaded wrest. He was two tired to raze his fare, pail face, and a feint mown of pane rose from his lips. The mads who herd the belle was about to pair a pare, but she through it clown aud ran with all her mite, for fare her guessed would not weight, but when she saw the little won tiers stood in her eyes at the site. 'Ewe poor dear. Why do you lye hear? Are yew dyeing?' 'Know,' he said. 'I am feint.' She boar him inn her arms as she ought, to a roam where he might be quiet, gave him bred and meet, held a cent bottle under his knows, untide his choler, rapped him warmly, gave him' a suite drachm from a viol, till at last he went forth as hail as a young hoarse." A Wise Dog:. Stacy Mark's anecdote of the moneyfinding dog which he attributes to Landseer, is a very prince among all stories of the kind. The dog's master, in the presence of a skeptical friend, hid a 5 note in hole of a tree when the dog was paying him no attention. "Go fetch," he said some time afterward, while returning by another road, without further explanation. The dog trotted off, and it was a few hours before he joined the two at home. As there were no signs of a. note the skeptical friend grew satrical. But the host opened the dog's" mouth and five sovereigns were concealed under his tongue. He had found the note, been to the banker's and exchanged it for gold. Shoes of History. The queen of Italy is said to have a remarkable historic collection of shoes. It includes the shoes worn by Mary Stuart on her way to execution, the shoes of Joan of Arc, Marie Antoinette, Ninon de l'Enclos, Queen Louise, etc.; also a collection of shoes of various countries which has an ethnographic value.

GLASS OP FASHION.

BEING A REFLECTION OF THE LATEST STYLES. Outdoor Games Are Now Engaging Groat Attention Tailor-Made Dresses The Latest Frocks High Collars Again Notes of the Modes. UTDOOR GOWNS are the most important garments in a woman's wardrobe at this season of the year. These :.ra being made up and said in great numbers at the largo stores to women whose figures aro sufficiently near th standard to w?ar a These drosses are of readymade dress. duck, cotton bedford and grasseloth. besides numerous Oalateas. linens and percales. The duck and cotton bedfords are the most common. These are mad as they were last year, with jackets and skirts and a front of some other material. Less severity is shown in the style than prevailed last season. The white ducks have fronts of some soft material, such as dotted net over a dainty shade of silk, and many of them have embroidery revers or insertion of embroidery on each side of the jacket down the edge. Colored ducks are more numerous than ever, and will be the boon of those who want to dress cool this summer. Grass cloth is a very fashionable material, but It Is also very expensive. I pointed to an Innocent-looking, linen colored gown exhibited at a large store the other day and asked the price. It was $2S.50, and the material was grasscloth. The gown shown here in two shades of Galatea, the darker forming the panel on the skirt and the facing on the collar and the largo bretelle-like revers on trimmed with jacket fastens with on-j the waist. Latest Frocks. The month of May usually brings out the real spring dresses. March and April had forgotten something, and it is hard to decide just what to do with one's arms. The gown with the jacket is a very good one to come out in at first, on this account, and it has already beare such uncertain months that the cautious female hesitates to trust them with the care of her now go wn lest thcy take a sudden freak and play havoc with it. Even when the new gjwns are ! worn they are usually covered u, with ! wraps of some kind so that little i:? vis- ; ible but the hang of the skirt. To be sure, the wraps are such bits of .liveliness that one hesitates to part with them, but it is a relief to be able to walk out free from incumbrances and feel the breath of balmy spring breezes upon one's cheek instead of the ril'.bon-and-lace ruff that has protected it :?r.im the biting winds of early March. For the first few days one feels a little awkward without the usual wraps, as if on gun to make its appearance. The vest of mannish cut which was so popular j-ist season la not z) rr.uch of a favorite

'

this year, and the front usually seen H either full with a Ix::-plait, or plain and tight-fitting, with no visible fastening, and reaching to the neck, as shown in the accompanying picture. This gown has the appearance of being1 cut princess under the jacket, because there is no belt, but it Is merely a front piece that is continued from the front breadth of the skirt.

Tailor-Made 1) regno. The fashion of trimming tailor-made dresses with strips of cloth stitcihed down in some simple pattern has been borrowed from last winter's cloth capes. It is a favorite style with makers of such gowns, because it trims the dress without concealing or interfering with the lines of beauty so dear to the Ideal tailor. To make the most of a good figure and patch up the deficiencies is the aim of the successful ladles' tailor, and that is why tailor gowns are so stiff and broadlike, because they are so often filled with wadding to prevent a wrinkle over a sharp shoulderblade or collarbone. The above costume is made of cloth in a wood-brown shade. There is a wide, pointed, turn-down collar of brown velvet to the jacket, which is fastened with straps across the front. Underneath the jacket is a plain vest of light tan. The seams and edges of the jacket are trimmed with strips of the material stitched down as described. A strip is stitched across the cleave puff in odd fashion and a pointed cuff simulated at the wrist. The same trimming appears down the side and around the bottom of the skirt. Tho Hifjli t'ollniv. Every season somebody makes a dtormlntd effort to crowd the enormously stiff and uncomfortable collars back from the throat, but for soma unexplained rf-ason, no sooner are they withdrawn a little, so that the wearer can git a littlo natural and easy breath, than up they jro again moro fluffy and close than before. The vest, chemisetta, puffed front and gulrnpe ideas are, however, susceptible of so many modifications that women may wear thin materials around the throat, if they choose, instead of the velvet and satin that so many of them seem to prefer. Of course, there is convenience and economy in thicker fabrics; they stay in place and keep fresh much longer than thin ones, and are therefore more universally adopted. Neckwear plays such a prominent part in presentday dressing that it is worth while to study it from an artistic standpoint. It is said that the stoek-collar has seen Its best days, and that headed collars and ban'':! of elaborate embroidery are likely to take its place. This has po'.-i.-i of adv.".-. ia;v , a:; very many people ar tired of .so much material awu:ul tho throat. FasliU!i Notes. New para -ols are made of silk, wit 7a a very full, rather wide ruillo of silk muslin, embroidered on the edga in a heavy scallop. A waist garniture of butter-colore.l lace and Dresden ribbon is mads with a prefeetly plain collar of the lace, a square yoke, and shoulder nifties plaited exceedingly full. One may have a parasol absolutely plain cr trimmed to the ver;?e of absurdity with pufTs and ruflles and ribbon and be quite in fashion. A style as pretty as any is a plain silk, v itii a very full rr.flle of lace at the edjre.

In 1873 we came to live in England, after a residence upon tho continent, bringing with us a Swis3 terrier of doubtful breed, but of marked sagacity, called Tan. One day, shortly after reaching the new home from Switzer land, the dog was lost under tho following circumstances: We had driven to a station eight miles off, East Harding, to met a friend. As the friend got out of the railway carriage the dog got in without being noticed, and the train proceeded on its way. At the next station, Eccles Road, the dog's barking attracted the attention of the station master, who opened the carriage door, and the dog jumped out. The station master and the dog were perfect strangers. He and a porter tried to lock up the dog, but he flew viciously at anyone who attempted to touch him, although he was not above accepting food. For the next three days his behavior was entirely methodical; starting from the station in the morning, he came back dejected and tired at night. At last, on the evening of the third day, he reached home, some nine miles away, along roads which he had not before traveled, a sorry object, and decidedly the worse for wear; after some food he slept for twenty-four hours straight off. Now, he was a dog worth owning, wasn't he? HOW SARDOU WRITES. Tho Great Dramatist IJullds a Play in Scientific Fashion. Sardou's way of working is as follows: The moment an idea has occurred to him he puts it down, and all the various notes, documents, and particulars which have to do with this idea are joined together, forming a sort of dossier. When the idea is crystallized into dramatic shape Sardou writes a scenario of a few pages, giving tho skeleton, as it were, of the whole play. Then he puts the work aside. All his various schemes are treated in the same way. He has at the present day from seventy to eighty dossiers in his drawers, out of which eight or ten plays will come. So, when he has to write a drama or comedy, he only chooses. For instance "Theodora" was written rifteen years after it originated in the author's mind. As soon as Sardou's choice is made he reads over all the accompanying notes and documents which pertain to that play, and then he begins to write the drama or comedy, act by act, scene by scene, as they come into his mind. When he has done this preliminary work, he rewrites the piece on large white quarto paper. The play is then reduced and condensed. It is this second manuscript which is given to the copyist, to whom is intrusted the care of putting it in shape. All this writing is ordinarily done at Marly. Sardou is not disturbed there as he is in Paris. A CHINESE SALOONIST. Coctt Gum Is the l'loneer Celestial In 15arkcepiiijf. Chew Gum is the first Chinese in Stockton to trespass upon the domain of. the American saloon-keeper, says the Stockton Mail. Some months ago ho took up a license to run a saloon and recently opened a wholesale and retail liquor store and bar on the north side of Washington street, between Hunter and El Dorado streets. When fully established in business Chew Gum visited his white brethren in the samo business and presented his card, solicitins their patronage in the whoiesala line. He entered one saloon on California street and made himself known, pre-empting a chair and cocking hi3 feet up on the ice-chest in true American style. "Aren't you .going to treat?" asked the proprietor of the place. "Oh, yes; I tleat you; come down my place," was the wily reply, as the Chinese had no idea of parting with his nickels. The Mongolian saloonist is now dealing out cocktails and straight goods to a motley crowd of Chinese and whites. The Chinese do not know a Manhattan cocktail from a silver fizz, but those drinks are not in vogue in Chinatown, so he does not worry over his lack of knowledge.

A Revolution in Men's Dress. "There's one thing about the bicycle craze," said a tailor. "I believe it i3 going to revolutionize men's attire, w'uch has been so sombr for so many years. Dress reformers have done much for women, but men's clothing 13 practically the same yeir in and year out. The leaders of fashion are not as a rule robust, and the chaps who lead cotillons have small legs. If tho wheel develops their calves, as it will, 1 believe the age of short clothes will rotu.'n, and knee-bree$mes for evenius dress may be seen igain in drawingrooms. Bloomers a.re popular, for a shapely woman likes folks to know i Thin-legged men fiavb a chanco tc build up their calves in summer for the winter's gaiety." I i 4
