ST ett Carey in Thaes-IJeniccrzS. A COMPEOIOSE. I had. dined -with. St. Craix, and we ""vere ntrw on oar way to some uninter esting people 77ho vere givins a dance. Since entering the cab tne conversation had. slackened. Apparently we both vc& sessed ample food for reflection. As we rattled over some stories St Croix sud denly shouted in my ear: ""S'oTl e her tonight, Ingram." I hao. returned from the country that morning. Still deep in. my thoughts, I replied: Nb snch lack. She is a hundred railes from town, and,T I stopped abruptly, as I caught a glimpse of his face. Fortunately he had not noticed my observation. '''So " I continued, grasping the situation, "you have once again decided that the femi nine interest in your life should be cen tered in one?'' Ingram, old chap," he said soiemn ly, "it's serious this time." (I had heard this remark mace before irapr Ftjraifar circumstances. ) 1 sincerely trust it is!" I replied. A good looking, wealthy man, past 30, has no right to he unmarried. "This has happened "schflelhave been away" I added. He nodded. "And the maiden is" I began. St. Croix actually looked confused. "Well, she's hardly" be said awk wardly, "that ie of course she's young well, the fact is, she's a widow." I glanced at him reproachfully. " Any er" "No, no," he replied hurriedly. "Of course there are no children. Why, man, she's only young herself husband died in Innin fever, snake bite or some other handy thing of that kind. Oh, no," he wen on. with a smile, "I couldn't do it if there were any children'' "Have you actually proposed to her?" Noc yet, " he replied Though sruliy, "hut I feel that it is as good as settled. Ingram, " he ccn tinned, with an air cf enthusiasm, "she's adorable. She" "3Iy dear St Croix," I said, "these confidences remind sae of the good old davs. " "Ah!" he replied, withasich. "This is no boyish flirtation!" "By Jove!"' he cried as on idea struck him. "Ton two will jset oh capitally to gether! Having both been in ladia, you. will be abie to" "Chat ahoef her basfeeed?" I sug gested. St. Croix looked serkae. "Poor chlhi!' he said in a compas sionate tone. "She mast have beea -very unhappy during: that time.' It is strange how men generally refer to their wives first marriages is. this way. " We are admirably suited, he con tinued, his face lighrirg up. "1 am 30, and she well, I shoe Id say she is 2a. A man should be ayaar or so older than his wife." Yes, " I agreed. "She is very young for a widow," "iEnch too young, " replied fc Croix. 'That's one reason why she should marry again." "True," I said. 'How "flag has it been going on?" He considered for a few moments. "I first saw her," he ssid slowly, 10 minutes to 9 en. Mcaday last week." "My dear fellow," I exclaimed "you must hurry up matters. The . lady will positively weary of the eocrsfcip. " Just then the cab drew up with a jerk; "Here we are," said Sc. Croix "Jump out!" After greeting aur hostess we sepa rated Several people of my acquaint ance were there, aed I had to go through the usual number of doty daaces. Pres ently I saw Sr. Croix ccmisg toward me. " ifjngram,' ha said, takina me by the arm, "come with mc" There is nobody so exacting as the man in love. "She is waiting to be iatrodaced to you. ' he said as we made oar way c the conservatory Here, ki & sedsded corner (for St. Croix was experienced m these matters), we found the lady. "Airs. Fardyce," said St. Croix, "al low me to' -'Airs. Fardyce!" I looked at her, then burst out laugh ing. "Dr. Ingram'" she exchsimod. "You know one another?" cried St Croix with a puzzled look. "Why." I said, "Inavs known Mrs. Fordyce since" "Yes. Br Ingram and I are quite old friend. " ' she mterrapted. with a glance at me. J understood "That is ioIIt!" St. Croix said heart- 11 J - "I am not sure that "Mrs. Fordyce agreed with him entirely. The strains of a wnltz came through the open doors. St. Croix looked at his programme. rBother!" he cried. "It's my dance with the darghter af the house. Will you kindly 1 wk after Sirs. Fardyce, In gram?" 'I ghculd be delighted," I replied, and he hurried ofL As soon as he had disappeared I turn ed to Atrs. Fordyce. "It's all very odd," I remarked. ""What?" she queried. "That you. Ehould turn out to be the friend Sir. St. Croix has been talking to me about?" I Erailed, the quakstHCSS of the whole matter seeming infinitely amusing to me. "2b," I said; "that you should be the lady whose charms he has been de scribing to me." She blushed. I gazed at her critically. " Pon my word " I exclaimed at length, "it is positively marvelous, to think that it is close upon" "Thatie just what I don 't want yea to think; doctor," she interraptad "But, my dear Airs Fordyce. you acr tuaily look younger and more beautiful than you did when we were together at gimla!" She laughed. "We have always been in the habit cf speaking plainly- to one another. " "Yes, " I acreed.

" "Yes," I said quietly. "We will help one another. Have you heard from Clare today?" I continued. Her hand went to her pocket. "Why, yes, " she said. ' 4 Aletter came as I was going out. I have not read it yet."" 4 would yon oblige me bv doing so, as you. have it with you?" She drew an envelope from her pocket, opened it and smoothed the letter out As she read it a smile came over her face. "Itfy dear doctor, ' ' she exclaimed "do you. think oae so young as Clare will make yee. happy?" "Did she not settle it in Simla years ago that she would marry nobedy but the 'doc?' " I replied "Have I mam ma's eoneenc?" She laughed happily. "Beally," I said, glancing at her, "I hardly know whether I'm talking to Clare or her mother." St Croix rejoined us. "St Croix, "' I slid to him quietly, after amisHte or so, "I have been med dling in yoar affairs with a good re sult," I added. He ternedwithaglad look of surprise to Mrs. Fordyce. "Is it 'Yes?

He went over to a keg of beer and bored a hole in it He told me to put my thumb over the hole. I did so, and he bored another hole in the keg. At his request I put my other thumb over the other hole." ""Then what did he do?" "Then he began to treat the crowd to everything in sight All I could do was to reaeon with tbem about their conduct I didn't dare take either of my thumbs off, for the result would have been a geyser that would have ruined the new wall paper.

Samuel Morris of Baltimore, first ser geant in Company E of the Fourth regi ment, will receive a medal from the of ficers of the regiment far stopping a car by lying cn- the track: while the regi ment passed on inauguration day in Washington. The boys were marching down Sev enth street, when their progress was in terrupted by the approach of a cable car. Morris stepped from the line and politely asked the gripman to stop the car so that the regiment could pass along. This the gripman refused to do, and he had no sooner started the car than the soldier lay down across the track and dared him to go on. The car moved forward the fender touched the body of the man and pushed him along a little, but he did not arise, and, in or der to avoid a murder, the gripman brought the car to a standstill. The regiment crossed the street, and as the last man crossed the tracks the soldier arose and thanked the gripman with mock courtesy and went off on a double quick, while the hundreds of spectators cheered him enthusiastically. A RARE PITCHER. One of the Three Original Washington Pitchers Given tq Princeton. One of the most important additions that has recently been made to the Princeton Art museum is the gift of a Washington pitcher. It was bought by Julius Morgan and brought to the mu seum by Mr. M. Taylor Pyne. It is one of three pitchers of this style made and was imported by James Kitchen, proprietor of the old coffee house on Second street, Philadelphia, and is now probably the only one in ex istence. It is certainly the rarest of all Washington pitchers. The pitcher is vase shaped The neck is ribbed brown, the mouthpiece a gro tesque head and the body decorated with medallions. One of these medal lions is a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, another picture the apotheosis of Gen- T J- tain appropriate inscriptions. SUBMARINE CABLES. She Difficulties Encotmtered In SendLig 3Iestue3 at a Profitable Speed. While submarine cables can now be made of any length and at comparatively small cost, great difficulties are still en countered in sending messages at a commercially profitable speed, and these difficulties increase with the length of the line. In long cables there is a trou blesome retardation of the electric cur rent, due to the fact that the insulating cover of the copper strands becomes it self electrified and this surface charge delays messages by preventing the cur rent at the beginning of any signal from rising rapidly to its maximum and again from rapidly dying out. The consequence of this is that while from 400 to 600 words a minute can be sent over a land line, the maximum speed on an Atlantic cable is somewhere about 32 wards a minute. Before the "siphon recorder" and Lord Kelvin's "euro sender" were invented, tha maximum speed was eight cr ten words per min ute. Curiously enough, the more perfect the cable's insulation maybe the greater is this retardation, and slight leaks in this covering often increase for the time the line's working capacity. The corrosive action of the saltwater is ac tive at such points, however, and will socn cause a break in the cable. Professor Silvanus P. Thompson of the Royal society of England "has in vented a system of cable construction by which he expects not enly to increase the capacity of the present lines, but to make practicable the covering of the 3600 miles which separate Hawaii from Sorth America. Hg plan is to make a cable with two separate conductors in closed in the same armor, so as to farm a complete circuit, and every 100 or 150 miles he will introduce stretches of cable with three such conductors, the third being a wire of high resistance, the purpose of which is to act as a sort of artificial and protected leak. One end of this third wire win be connected with the positive conductor nrrrf the other with the negative one. By this device the static charge on one wire will neu tralize that cn the other, andallretarda tion will be avoided. The expectation is to multrnlv four cr five times the number of words now sent over Ailantia cables, to increase to TQ cr SO the 13 wards per minute that could be sens over a single core cable to Hawaii, and raise from 15 to 75 the words sent from London to Cape Town.

A disappearing gate forraiTroad cross ings has been recently patented by Fred erick Nichols of Lynn, ttnw. The many advantages of such agate will bereadriy understood. Its construction is very simple, there being no cogs or gears. It is made of sliding and jointing bars and angle irons and can be constructed with out great expense. A trench about four feet deep is dug on each side of the tracks across the street. The earth sides of this trench are supported by plates of boiler iron, instead of expensive masonry, bolted to IT shaped iron castings. To these castings is iastenea tne lower and sta tionary part of the gate. The slit or opening through which, the gate comes up is, of course, protected from dirt, etc., by the top rail of the gate when, it is down, and when public travel is pass ing over it When the gate is up, the opening or slit is protected, as public travel over it is stopped. The bottom of the trench is of gravel or concrete, and it is graded toward one end to allow water which does not soak up to run off into a sewer or blind drain. At the side of this opening, on the street level, are cast iron plates covering manholes, which allow a man to go the entire length of trench to oil or adjust any of the movable working parts. The gate is counterbalanced with weights, and friction is reduced to a mini-mum, thus making its operations easy. A bell signal is sounded before the gates are raised. At night incandes cent lamps are lighted by contact being automatically made as the gates are raised Lanterns are used where elec tricity is not available. The gates are quick and easy in. ac tion, can be operated by one man, where it often requires two by present meth ods. They can be operated from switch or signal tower in many instances. They will not interfere with trolley wires or electric car tracks. The gates are raised and lowered by the simple movement of a lever cn which is a latch, securing the gate in any position. Philadelphia Record DRESS PARADE. Many of the newest bodices are draped on the cross and are pointed back and front In dressy evening toilets the pretty bnt terfty sleeves are very frequently made to match the skirt Toques, by which are meant bonnets without strings, are just now more es teemed than bans for dressy afternoon wear. ISew very pretty inch wide squares of open canvaslike silk that require a taffeta, lining ere among the novelties in summer fabrics, Xew dress skirt models are finished with flounces at the liein, -with row after row of tiny frills, with long averskirts caught up fit one side. There is a rage for tucked bcdlees of silk or very light wool materials, and for the summer organdies, swiss, muslins, mdia linens and other thin textiles. The toreador waistband, cut an the cross and formed of three, five cr seven appar ently careless folds, is a most charming finish to a soft, full fronted hedice. Very beautiful natural looking violets, with leaves and stems apparently a trine wilted, exquisitely shaded and very faintly perfumed, are still the great rage as a gar niture for elegant spring huts and bonnets. Coats and skirts of tweed and cheviot are renewing their youth, and instead of representing a vogue that is at least a doz en years old, might, judging by their pres ent very fashionable attitude, be almost entering on their first season. Among- the minor additions to spring gowns imported or made by high class modistes are noted very small pad bustles and rather narrow graduated dress ex tenders, formed variously of moreen cov ered with silk, mohair or rustle percaline. Entire skirts are cut in circular shape, then accordion plaited. Other shapes are gored or have fancy side panels, and so on ad infinitum, and there is neither shape, height, style nor taste that cannoc be ex actly suited this season. New York Post Writing Headers Por the Xondoa Tissee I dined with SEr. Walter and his son in Printing House square at 5 o'clock and found that I was expected to write an article there and then on one of the subjects of the day. I protested my in ability, not supposing myself capable of doing such a thing in less rbn-n a week. This was pcohpoohed I toed Sound it possible and found also ?hat I was ex pected to repeat the process next day, same hour, same dinner, short conversa tion after dinner, then the subject was announced, and X was left alone till tea time, when Sir. Walter appeared, read aloud what I had donex with, criticisms and, after correction, carried off the pa per to the printer. When the article was finished, the same process was repeated, and when I was disburdened cf the whole article I went home to bed Grad ually it appeared that I was expected (exceptis excipiendis) to do this every evening.

An international game in Glasgow recently between teams rep resenting Scotland and England attract ed a crowd of 57,000 people, the gate receipts amounting to upward of $15, 000. At another game near Lcndan there were 55,806 spectators. It is a weekly occurrence in the large York shire and Lancashire midland towns for a crowd of from 20,000 to 30,000 peo ple to watch a game, the prices of ad missicn ranging from 5 cents tc aft cents. In some towns the stores are closed during the progress of the game. ' O i o- Tie Discovery Sayed Eia Lifs iir. G.
