The site was selected because of the beauty of the site and the scenery around. It was lo cated by money, no thought being giv en to the natural causes that decide lo cations and determine growth. The ground was secured and a city ordain ed by its projectors. Lots on the main street were marked down, and some sold at $500 a front foot. A street rail way was laid and operated for a while.

Some resourceful apologists have sug gested that bicycle scorchers were not deserving of so much censure, because the "scorching" habit was more a dis ease than a voluntary breach of law.

This Indi vidual experience suggests the means of utilizing on a large scale the singu lar mania called "scorching." Instead of one freezer, a row of freezers under city control could Ik? fixed up In some convenient place, and as fast as scorch ers are arrested let them be promptly set to work at their favorite exercise turning out ice cream for the masses. It is even possible that the unrestrain ed liberty to pedal as fast as they want to would soon give birth to a rivalry in freezing, and the scorcher who now boasts of having made five miles in ten j minutes will take pride In freezing five gallons of ice cream in the same time, j If scorching cannot be suppressed let ; it be diverted Into some such useful channel as this. According to Oriental advices printed the Japanese have been secretly aiding the rebels In the Philippine Islands and have already landed 43,0tO stands of arms on the southern coast of Mauin Island.

The Madrid i journals, having accused the German ' Inhabitants of Manila of fostering the j rebellion, have lately ojenly declared f tliat the Insurrection had been started I and sustained by Japanese influence, j and have laconically remarked: "Aft er Formosa, the Liou-Klou Islands, , and after the Liou-Klou, the Philip- j pines." A recent number of the "Dag-; biad," published in The- Hague, con- tained an article by Professor Blunien-, trite, who has spent, many years in Manila, in which lie affirms that Japan maintains closer relations to the Philip pine rebels than do the United States to the Cubans. He warns all Eurojiean nations that have colonies in the West ern Pacific, and (-specially Holland, to have an eye on Japan. He also begs the Dutch Government not to regard the trouble iu the Philippines as con cerning Spain alone, but to take this opportunity to strengthen its army and navy iu the Indies, if the Dutch would not be unprepared on the day when the inevitable crisis must come between Holland and Japan.

Saw Plenty of rervlce. was k, u o w n as Hayes' Really it was the , Twenty third Ohio Volun teers, but by what ever name called this regiment is re membered as one of bravery and dar ing during the war, and sluce then It has become unique in more respects than one among all the many that fought for the maintenance of 'he Union. What other regiment has fur Llshed two Presidents of the United States, for instance? None. The Twenty-third Ohio is the only regiment that can make that boast, and It can add. as well, a justice of the Supreme bench. The two Presidents developed from the Twenty-third Ohio were, of course, Rutherford B. Hayes and the present occupant of the White House, Willium McKInley. The justice of the Supreme bench was Stanley Matthews. Of these three, Hayes and Matthews were col onels of the regiment and rose to high er commands. McKInley, going as mere boy, was promoted to a captalucy for meritorious service, served in that rank at the end of the war and was then made a major by brevet Besides these three figures another of national importance in the Twenty third was Gen. W. S. Roseerans, also a colonel of the regiment, and later on one of the foremost fighters in the Northern army. And besides there were numerous lesser luminaries, who, though their positions did not bring them steadily before the public eye, still performed deeds of courage and daring that have made their names as household words in the Slate from which they entered the sen' ice. In terest in the regiment is revived by the recent reunion held at Fremont, Ohio. AIh)ui survivors of the regiment which from first to last had 2,005 en listed men were present at the re union. Aside from contributing two chief executives to the country and several valiant soldiers to the Union army, the Twenty-third was remarkable. It was the first of the Ohio regiments 1o enlist for three years' service in the war. The others had enlisted on the first call aad for the three months' period only. Har- iug so many fighters in its ranks. It saw fighting from first to last and was gl-id of H. since there was fighting to be done. Rosecraus was the first colonel of the regiment. Hayes was the first major and McKiuley tue last. E. P. Scatnmou, who as an Instructor v.t West Point had Grant, Longstrcct and numerous other prominent fighters on both sides of the war as his pupils, suc ceeded Rosecrans as colonel. Robert P. Kennedy and Walter C. Lyon, both afterward Lieutenant Oovernors t.f Ohio, were minor officers. The regiment saw really more than lis share of active service during tne war. It went at once to the front and on the way "Old Rosy," as he was called, was promoted from colonel to brigadier general. Scamnion then be came i lie colonel and the regiment was ordered into West Virginia, where from Clarksburg it kept up a hunt against tin- guerrillas who roamed that coun try. The first real senice under steady lire, though, was at Carnlfex Ferry, where a lot of sharp skirmishing forced the Confederates to abandon their posi tion. Under command of Lieut. Col. Hayes in May, lSi2, the regiment moved to Princeton, which was quick to join Mct'lellan in Washington. With .NtcClellan the Twenty-third helped to diive the Confederates from Frederick and then went to South Mountain mid Antietam. The Ohio fighters did gallant set ice there and Kcammon was made a brigadier general. Ilayeg miix-eeded blin as colonel of tb regi ment. In ,803 me Twenty-third was sent out against Morgan's raiders, who were devastating Ohio, and after a bard diase met and captured him at Pom uoy. In April, '04, the regiment re turned to Charleston nd engaged ac tively In the series of battles that fol lowed there.

Mo., was one of the real heroes of the late war snd ns picturesque a chsr.-cter at It produced. Gen. Shelby came or a disimgui.ueu Kentucky family. He was born In the . neighborhood of Lexington, Ky.. inj 1831. Courage, courtliness and chlval-j rv oomp to Nhelbv by iuheriiaiice. His grandfather was Isaac Shelby, the first Governor of Kentucky, in whose day the fighting of Indians was a common occupation. His father was Col. James Shelby, who played a part at the battle . of the Thames under William Henry j Harrison, and came out of the war of i 1812 with the luster of glorious deeds. I He went to Missouri fifty-three years j ago and settled In Audrain County, j where for a great many years he car- j ried on an extensive business as a ; planter In connection with his step-. father. When the war broke out Gen. Shelby espoused the Southern cause with all the ardor of his nature and when he refused to surrender after Apiwmattox and crossed Into Mexico, he took with him a thousand men who had lecn Governors, Judges, Senators, Generals and Colonels. Among them were Gens. Smith, Magruder, Hindmau, Lyon of Kentucky, Laedlietter and Wilcox of Lee' army. Govs. Murrah of Texas, Morehead of Kentucky, Allen of Louisi ana and Trusten Polk of Missouri, and Senator Harris of Tennessee and Sen ator Vest of Missouri. There was a dramatic separation on the field near Corsleana. Tex. There still lemained with Shelby tVM) bold troopers, and they had an abundant supply of arms, ammunition nnd sup plies. They determined to march into Mexico and liecome soldiers of fortune with Juarez or Maximilian. They marched to Waco and Austin In a well- disciplined band. Shelby was urged to slese the money In the Confederate treasury at San Antonio for his sol diers, but he Was not a plunderer nnd hesitated. Texas bandits carried off the treasure liefore he could reach San Antonio to protect it as he had protect ed public funds In Austin. Many exiles were awaiting Shelby at San Antonio. From San Antonio Shelby led his baud under military discipline to New j Pratinfels and thence to Kagle Puss, on the Hlo Grande. Crossing to Piedras Nagras, the fugitives sold the cannon,! the arms, the ammunition, and the ac-. cont .Tiiieuis to the supporters of Juarez for f 1N,hhi, which was divided pro rata 1 among officers and men. Several shrewd ! Germans attempted to take advantage, of a Mexican law nnd seize all of Slid- i by's horses having Mexican brands, and the treacherous Mexican soldiers sui ported them in the scheme. Shelby promptly sounded the call to mount horses, and the5l American veterans only awaited the word to begin a slaughter. The Germans lied and the Mexicans willed. Shelby. took a vote of his officers to determine whether they would cast their fortunes with Juarez, the Mexican patriot, or with Maximilian, the emper or sent to Mexico by Najtolcon. They voted for Maxlmlllian, but he declined their services. The exiles burled their battle-scarred flag In the waters of the Rio Grande with tearful ceremonies ' and started for Monterey to Join the French legions. At Monterey the corn-' mand disbanded. So.jie went to Sono ra to fight against Maxlmlllian. Others j went to California, British Honduras or ' Brazil. Shelby and a trusty baud of fifty went to the City of Mexico and then settled In the Cordova colony of Carlotta. The expedition proved a fail ure and Shelby returned to Missouri to the peaceful pursuits of the farm. He was the owner of several of the most valuable farms In the State. A Warrior In Peace. A visitor who recently called to see General Iongstreet at his farm near Gainesville, Ga., says: "I looked for a large, old-fashioned Southern place, with pillars and a wide hall. Instead, the house was an ordinary story and a half farmhouse, such as a Northern carpenter might build. A hoard nailed to a tree offered wine for sale at a very low price, and I saw aa extensive vineyard across the road. A lean, farmer-like person told me that Gen. Long street was In his vineyard, and there I came upon him, scissors In hand, bus ily pruning his vines. He Is a big old man, stooping a I'ttle now, and slow of gait. He wears long white whiskers, cut away from his chin. Ills hair Is whke as wool, hut his skin Is ruddy, as though sleep snd good digestion were still bis to command. We talked for a time about his garden and vineyard. 'I get out every afternoon,' be said, and work about I find the sun ud air do me good.' One of bis arms Is a little disabled, and he Is gulte deaf In one ear. He could not hear very well In the open air, and at his suggestion we re turned to the home.

An advantage that i..e liberty silk pre sents over other silk and weaves Is Its width. The material seems to take the light shades rather lictter than the dark ones, if we'exeept black.

It was a theater bodice best for a matinee performance and was craftily designed for an ex tremely slender figure.- Of pale blue liberty silk. Its little bolero was heavy gray lace studded with mock tur quoises. The silk was smocked heavily across the chest and a triple row of smocking drew the boolee Into the slen der waist. There was no other effect of belting. P.elow the waist line smock ing the silk spread slightly over the hips, while between waist and chest smocking the fabric blonsf-rt ;rettily.

It would seem that very little new could lie thought up for the t-ialioration of the fancy waist wo have been so long wearing, il there Is something both new and very picturesque.

Between the strips were Isolated embroidered figures of maa different colors. The fastening wss un der a iKTpendleular stripe embroidered heavily, collar snd Ml to match. The back was without stripes, aud the sleeves were of plain canvas except for the top epaulette on the shoulder. Hand-embroidered effects are receiv ing a special impetus because of the popularity of canvas weaves and the ease with which such materials adapt themselves to needle-work. The pretty little street bolero of the next Illustra tion was scarlet canvas run closely all over with lines of black, which were not in the weave but were embroider ed, the result Isdng much richer for the touch of handwork. The bolero was worn over a white and black silk blouse with high dlreetolre lww under chin. Effort Is being made to coax us to wear KVE!

Jaunty little Jackets of the bolero order cut very short on the hips and coming to a point a little below the waist lu front, are fasteued with three or four elaborate frogs across the chest. These garments are models for the loose lit. They set to every line of figure without In any way confining the form.

Although (be day of big sleeves Is past, the advantage of being able to slip on one's outside garments easily Is still appreciated, and many of the Jackets are made with very large arm holes concealed by cape sleeves.
