' Tom ncrmlnphntn , the premier bsso ball
vnaguot of the North Side , nt the close of tbo
gnmo yestercay afternoon looked very much
ns the famous parrot nld nfter the monkey
had got through dallying with him.
It was his flrat experience with tho.boys
of the triangle und the slap , smtsh , bang
fashion of the Good Shepherd's flock was en
tirely too much for his dotlcato Brummagem
nerves.
* BornvoUl boy , has been accustomed to the
gentle and loving style of ball as played by
Dave Shnnuhau'B South Knd Lambs , and
yesterday's spiritual cyclone almost started
tim whiskers growing on the back of his
MUCK.
The weather was excessively tdrrld , a soft
broiling wind , something llko what I Imag
ine an Arabic slmorn Is , blowing dead from
tbo south all the time , and maklsg the largo
crowd of ladles and gentleman la the stands
look llko so many lobsters on n gridiron ,
with all duo deference to the beautiful nnd
the delicate.
This Inflammatory condition of the atmos
phere , however , was Inslifllclcnt to suppress
the Christian hosts and they wont at Her-
minghaui's pachy dcrmatous band with n
ferocity that reminded ono of the manoatcrs
of Patagonia.
IVmit night nt .Mr. Mlltor.
There was but little ceremony attending
tho.sond off , and before Monagu Bormlng-
ham could comfortably settle himself on the
Ixsnsh the lads from the sacred sanctuary
began at once on his deliverance .from sin
unit eternal death. They began 'to fondle
and caress his Senegamblan twister with an
ecclesiastical abandon that amounted to ab
solute recklessness.
And recollect the light was for the muni
cipal championship at that , the tlr.st game of
n scries of IIvo that have been scheduled by
these two teams for this honor.
Thu blblc-readlUK athletes started right
out after that red fluid that circulates Iu
the bodies of all animals , and before you
could count a million they had the gumo
rlvottcd with steel bands. And the whole
Young Men's Christian association organiza
tion wcro as happy as a lot of llttlo boys and
girls eating mud plus. The bar.d played
"Johnnie Got Your Gun , and Your Sword
anil Yuur 1'lstol , " and roses bloomed on all
thn maple trees surrounding tlio park , and
around Kus.i ' classic
MeKolvoy's and splr-
Ituello mug glonmcd a golden nimbus that
will shlno on down throui ; the vistas of time
for two or three hundred years to como.
In sooth there wasn't but n few unhappy
or perturbed souls within the lot. Manager
Ilcniilnghain said he thought .luilgo Shields
had better stuck to unraveling knotty legal
problems ; that he had given up an honor
able and remunerative railing to make a
holy show out of himself in endeavoring to
anjudtcate the line and abstruse point ! ) that
uriso during the progress of our great na
tional game.
Bu * . then you must all remember that all
that Manager Tom himself don't knowabout
this royal sport would make a volume ten
tlmes than thu World-Herald's
larger - ency-
Whpre the Trouhln llognn. *
Uustln , Yale'fSj'/Prfl/Viif'0 ot philology , was
tin ) flrst of tlio iium'auulato to stop to the
, plato. Ho had one. of l't\p \ McAuloyJsold
'case-hardened , bats , , und rather tlianjruutho
risk of having the professor lay it against
one of hi * curves , Miller deadheaded him to
thu flrst corner. Thou Ho.il , another Yale
professor , of paleontology. If I rccamombcr
correctly , faced MIstah Millah. Like a
couple of statues iu usphultum and parlan
marble , they stood immobile a moment.
There was a hush in the park. MIstah Mil-
liUi bent back , then forward , and swish the
sphere came hurtling through the sizzling
sunshine , blggcr'n a prize pumpkin at a
country fair. Of course the Yale professor
smotolt sore , and theilrstbag was.his'n.
She other professor , who a moment pre
viously had nipped second by the grace of a
pair of Harry Dothuno props , ambled on
down tn Mr. Uolan's station.
Then Lyslo Abbott , young , coy nnd
beauteous , .stopped up to the rubber slab
nnd unto himself said : "If the meek and
lowly will only keep their lamps on mo for a
moment , I'll show 'cm how David knocked
out Gollah with a domick. "
"Youso cullah blind , boss. " cried MULT ,
as Lyslo rent a gapping fissure in the succu

Criekot with the lliennomoter iu the
neighborhood of 00 In the shndo and goodness
knows where In the sun Is not suuh n less
nxhiluratlnggumu than under normal con
ditions. But notwithstanding the thermal
difficulties , two excellent teams of Omnhn
crh'kotors captalno < l by U. iU ( Julllngham
nml Hrnest Hart put up a llrst-ratu game
yesterday afternoon ,
Thu Omaha cricket club no longer plays
on the fair ground. For something llko s'lx
wunks thu club's ground has been
on the loath side of Kmmot
Jtroot nnd east aide of Twonty-
Jlrst. Hero thn
members huve ilxod up on u
vucant lot what promises In a llttlo while to
become n tlrst-clnss pitch. At present It
needs rolling. All the grass has seen re
moved , for the reason that It was far too
rough and stubby to play on , and the stumps
are now pitched In thu bare ground. This
of course , makes n fast und llvolv gixme and
nt present , while the ground Is n little uneven -
oven , thu ball Is unreliable In Its bound , and
the tmlsmcn have tn watch closely nil the
while to keep It oft their wicket.
On account of'the heat the players were In
no hurry to beidn , and Culllugham's ldo ,
wl.ich bitted llrst , did not go to the wickuts
until o'clock , Taylor nnd Now went Iu
first to the bowling of VnuKhan nn Mar
shall. It wus uot long before Now went
dowirforn duck's cjrg , with the score at.fi ,
ton fast ball from Marshall which hu latt
pass him by n mtsjvulgmont. Taylor was
bowlctl soon after nnd Uulllngham Joined
Uoylo , but was dismissed tlrst ball by
Vaughnn. Doyle ana 1 limeI ! next snadu u
troug stand , Jllowoll hitting out boldly , and-
the cor wus ralioil to 23 before Doyle wai
Ixmlou. The next ball Iu the lamu orer dli.

pnrtncrshlpi , wcro nil productive of
good results , 0. II. Young , who
went In nlmost lait , making the
highest score of the slilo. Ho was not at the
wli'lti't.1 lois tlmo than some others , but
whllo there ho made scarcely nn error , hit
ting frceiv hut carefully nnd never giving n
chance. Ho cnrrlod out his bat for a well
playeil 17.
A few minutes toforo fi Marshall nml
Vftughnn .itarltd the Innings of Hart's team.
They wcro opposed by Olenvo and Itobb.
Krom tbo start both Imsmcu nppeaaoi ! quite
at homo with the bowling , hitting out freely
and confidently , Oleavo. bowling from the
west cud , put but llttlo force In his balls ,
nnd when the score hail got up Into tlio twen
ties with no wicket down , Culllnxbam
wisely put Doyle In ' to take his
place. l The change quickly proved
effective ; , for In Doyle's first over Marshall
was dismissed , nnd the partnership which
had ) i put up twcntv-llve runs was broken.
Matters now looked very hopeful lor the "In"
side. They wanted nn even llftj to win , and
had only ono wlekot down , Hut Doylo's
Howling 1 ! proved dintcult to score on" , and
though the subsequent batsmen kept their
wickets tip well , the runs came but slowly ,
ami by li o'clock ttio stdo was out for 01.
Until tho'last wicket fell the result of the
match was In doubt Indeed It was the last
two wickets on Ciilliiiu'liani'.s side which
in.ido the runs that won the match. It
should bo mentioned that the " 4 In-
eluded thrco sixes from balls lost In the
weeds. Thcso were hit by Howel. Glcavo
nnd Young. Hart's men were less fortunate
ii n this respcet. It .loomed that whenever
iit
iili hey hit a ball In the weeds the Holder would
lit invu tils eye on It , nud the most that any of
lit hem made from ono of thcso balls was a

With weather that could not bo surpassed ,
n very fair attendance , considering the average -
ago attendance Cuinha furnishes on such
occasions. In fact with nothing to mar a
good afternoon's racing , the Tourist Wheel
men club can indeed bo proud of their llrst
annual tournament which took place at the
fair grounds yesterday nf ternqon. Certainly
the park , especially on the north side , might
have been In boiler shapo'thun it was. The
boys claimed It was a llttlo lumpy owing to
ttio fact that several horses had been speedIng -
Ing over It in the morning , but taking every
thing into consideration the track might
have been worse. The program consisted of
five races.
The first race was timed to start nt 2:30 :
but it was SMS before the stat tor , Jack ICnst-
man , got the boys away on race number ono ,
which was ono mile for novices , and was
won by D. M. Barnum of Omaha , with A. E.
Proulx a close second.
The second race , a quarter of a mile dash ,
was run in , two heats , PIxloy winning the
llrst with" Jack Culley second ; the second
heat was won by Hattenhausor of Council
Bluffs. HHth Sam Patterson of Plattsmouth
second. In the third heat D. 1j. Hoeton of
Omaha managed t& outdistance the others
Vtrftv..Bixloy ) c.lpso on his heels und Sam
Pattcrsoji third. , The llrat prize in this race
'was ' a very line gold modal -rallied ' nt " $73 ,
nrid QDhatciVby the nian who came In first ,
so'wo understand Pixloy gets the medal.
i.Xbo third race , one mile open , there wcro
olght starters nnd William Schuoll was the
lucjcy winner of the flrst prize , a stop watch
dimatcd byll ; Whitchouso. In this race
tfixloy.met with : i fall and a sadly demoral
ized machine. Ho claimed a. foul but the
Judges overruled him.
The boys' ' race produced n very speedy
youngstcrin the person of Bert Grifllth , who
halls from CouncilBlutls ho making the half
mile in 1:21 : % .
Then came the event of the meeting ,
namely , the tun- mile handicap , the tlrst
prize being thocholceof a Telegram orltamb-
ler machine , value. 5150. Tlio race brought
out twouty-two starters and was won ufter
11 splendid race by Husscll Condon of South
Omaha , who started scratch ; second , A. E.
Proulx , whom the hand icappor gave three

John Hdsleky ; recently elected president of
the Bohemian National Committed of
A erica , which mot In Chicago on July 8
has roturnod. As editor and publisher of
thoPokrok Xapadu , the agricultural and horticultural
ticultural journal , Hospodar , the magazine
Knlhoona America , in the Bohemian lan
guage , and publisher of the Bohemian Voice ,
in English , in this ulty. Air. Hosielcy is a rep
resentative Bohemian in every respect. IIo
possesses the ability to converse in four dif
ferent languauos. Hcganllug the objects for
wnich the organization was started , ho said :
"Tho prime mover after long agitation by
mo and others on the subject was the Bo-
homlun Benevolent association ut Its na
tional convention held two years ago at
Cedar Rapids. A committee of llfteon , In
cluding myself , wus selected ut thut tlmo
from representative Bohemian associations
for the purpose of devising ways and means
to disseminate a batter knowledge among
the reading public of this country regarding
Bohemian people nnd their doings.
"On Timuksgivmg day following the fif
teen members held a session In Chicago and
concluded that in order to accomplish this a
paper devoted to the interests of Bohemian
people should bo published in English us well
ns printing our mother country's history in
book form la that language. Thirdly , -to
perfect arrangements whereby the assault
nted press of this country would bo
supplied with original and. reliable
news from the old coun'ry which
hitherto has been almost impossible on ac
count of tbo supervision which'thu Austrian
government exercised over Its transmission ,
and the doctoring It underwent before It
reached us. On this account , as a matter of
fact , considerable of the news published
here has been misleading , and by Us perusal
the American public has been misinformed
regarding the true state of affairs ever
thoro. The llrst Conclusion resulted
in the establishment of the Volco
a year later. It is now edited
by Thomas Capok. Lust Thanksgiving
day the second n.outing of-'tho committee
was hel'i , and negotiations wcro opened with
Mr. Hobert H. Viekers , a historian who has
labored earnestly under many dlfllcultics to

ClllRAno , July 22. A surgical case of
unusual Interest to the profession was
received at Provident hospital last night
at which uro found colored physlblans
and surgeons capable of applying the
most skillful treatment known to mod-
Icnl bclonco nnd performing some of .tho
inowt dlllloult operations attempted by
modern surgery. The patlbnt , n strong
yonnir colored man , had got mixed up In
a Htrcut brawl and was stabbed tn the
loft breast by an assailant who wielded a
sailor's knife. When brought to the
hospital the Injured man .was very weak
from shock , internal hemorrhage and
loss of blood , and by the attendants ho
was thought to bo dying.
Tbo wound In tlio left breast was n
diagonal out about live Inches long between -
tweon the ilfth and slxlh ribs , very deep ,
and It pu//.led the surgeons to see the
man still alive when it Boomed probable
the knlfo had reached his hoart. A
Eopro of surgeons anxious to witness the
operation were present In the interest of
science.
Aniesthoslu was induced by chloro
form. The patient was placed on the
operating' table. Dr. Williams , the
onlof surgeon , and the trained nurses
were ready for the ordeal. It was most
delicate as well as during. The wound
was'carofully opened while the surgeon
doxtrously removed parts of two ribs.
Then deeper explorations were mnclo
with thu utmost care und the uncon
scious man's heart was laid bare. It
was found that the pericardium had
boon cut with the murderous knife and
tlmt- the point of the weapon had
actually punctured the heart itself. The
wound was , In fact , of such a character
that few surgeons would have hesitated
to pronounce It fatal.
But In this case the patient's condition
scorned In his favor. With dextrous
bunds the surgeon explored every part
of the "wound , while ho proceeded with
the greatest dolicaov and caution to
dress the injury and close the cut In the
nerircarilium. Tha vessels that had
boon severed were secured with artery
clumps and tied with ligatures of catgut.
The wound Itself was partially closed at
the outer surface. A small rubber drainage -
ago tube was left in the wound.
Since the oporaj ( qn the patient has
given every iiulioaf.imi of recovery. It
is certainly n great credit to the colored
people of Chicago nnd ) the ontlro coun
try for that matter ; , 'tlmt an operation of
this charnvtor can' bo'borformed in an

TOBACCO TRUST WAR.
Attempt tn Control CtenrMtn nnd I'lut
Trniln Oniincs Opposition.
NKW YOKK , July 22 The Tobacco
trust , which manufactures all the
clgarottos consumed In this country , Is
going to have another light on Its
hands if reports circulated In Wall
street are truo. The trust Is said to
have absorbed a rival that made quite a
Hurry several months ago. The am
bition of the dlreetors of the trust to
control not only the cigarette
trade , but , also the plug tobacco
husino-is , promised to lead to n
war between the western and
eastern manufacturers of plug tobacco
and thu launching of a rival cigarette
company with headquarters in St. Louis
and Chicago. Up to a year ago the ter
ritory of tbo country was divided by the
eastern and western plug tobacco mutiu-
fuoturorn , while the eigurotto trust con
trolled that trade all ever the country.
Within the last few months , since , In
fact , the cigarette trust began to push
the plug tobacco of eastern llrms con
trolled by It , the western manufacturers ,
mainly those of St. Louis , have been
slowly crowded out. The trust's mode
of acquiring control of the trade In
western territory was similar to
thatr practiced by It in killIng -
Ing competition In the oast. It refused
to sell Its etgarettos to llrms that would
not buy Its plug tobacco. Western
manufacturers have lost a good deal of
trade In this way because they could not
conduct a successful light. It is reported
that preparations for giving the trust
the hardest light it hns ever hud are
now going forward in St. Louis and thut
a now company , backed by as much
money as the trust , will face It. Western
dealers will bo supplied with cigarettes
of as good quality IIH those furnished by
the trust at cheaper rates.

tween United States Senator John M.
Irby and Congressman George Shell ,
growing out of a bitter rivalry for the

gentlemen , says thut a few days ago
they mot by accident at the residence of
Colonel J. D. M. Shaw , a prominot alli
ance man und a member of Governor
Tillman's personal staff. There an
angry altorcutip.n took place between
tbo two statesmen over their differences ,
and before Colonel Shaw could interfere
they were engaged in a fierce fisticuff.
Irby , it is said , struck the first blow
after Shell had given him the lie. Tlio
ballijjoronts were separated , ohowevor ,
before any serious damage had been sus
tained by either. The end , it is be

"Wo started for Mud Run , out In

"About the tlmo wo got started tlio

hind hobs of Gehenna if lie hadn't
packed all the cigars in that bloody
trunk. When I cussed ho trtod to got
uj > in the baggage car and was nearly
killed. Then ho got so'mo bad cigars
rom the porter and growled for an hour
steady. 1'rotty BOOH ho wanted a drink
uid the whisky was in that confounded
runk.
"Tho woman at * the hotel where wo
; ot out said it was too late to got any-
hing to cat , nnd the eolonol got mad
uul called mo 'a burbling chump for
drnggglng ! ( him out into the wilderness.
When the t boy wak'od us in the morn *
ng the eolonol kicked because ho had to
jot up 80 early. IIo had the deuce of a
Imo finding- his things in that ihfornul
trunk and ho kicked bccatihO I got im-
mtiont.
"Tho woman at the hotel looked
queer when wo got down. 'Going llsh-
ng ? ' says she. 'You'd bettor look out
'or the constable. It's against the law
to llsh 'round her Sundays. '
"Thon the colonel got suspicious , and
said ho dill n't want to bo locked up. I
got him into the wagon and the driver
says : 'Butter look out for the constable.
It's against the law to lish 'round here
Sundays. '
11 'Say , ' says the colonel , 'I'm not go
ing to get locked up and bring eternal
lisgrnco upon my family. ' 1 choked
ilm on" llnnlly , and wo started. Then
wo mot a farmer and ho "lowed that
get into trouble if wo fished on
Sunday. The driver grinned aud the
colonel , like the eternal galoot ho is ,
says , 'I told you so. ' It took mo about
tun minutes to choke him oil" , but ho
growled all the way to the stream.
"Say , " continued the major , "did you
ever see the colonel catch trout ? No ?
Well , neither did anybody olso. IIo
couldn't catch a trout in a week of lea ] )
years. By ged , it was a night to see him
whip the stream. It was like driving
balky mules over a broken bridge. Ho
banged that rlvur until half the llsh in
it were scared to death , and 1 guess ho
thought ho could catch trout by knock
ing them stone dead with his rod. IIo
lost about two dozen Hies trying to cast
half the length ot his rod and then he
got his line all tangled up in the bushes.
Uid you ever hear the coLmel swpar ?
Well , hodeurriors and river pirates
aren't in it with the colonel. Talk about
breaking the Sabbath ! Why. the colonel
swore enough to send an army to perdi
tion for eternity.
"While the colonel was .cussing cv6ry-
'
thing in sight the driver 'camo tearing
down the rqufl. waving his hands Uku'iU-
windmill in full sail. - . - l , ?
" 'Hi ! ' ho yelled , 'tho constable's coming - '
ing and he's after you , too. You'd ' bettor' ' '
got. Cut up through the woods tlioro' '
and I'll moot you at the turn of the pike.1
"Wo didn't know where the turn of
the pike was , but the colonel grabbed
mo by the arm and hustled up into the
woods. When wo got titular cover ho
was steaming like a soap factory , and
cussing me. too.
" 'What is the name of thunder did
yoii ever bring me out here for ? You
want to get me arrested , do you ? '
"I was that speechless that 1 couldn't
answer. I just stood and looked at him.
Pretty soon I recovered.
" 'Brought you out here ? ' said I.
'You blooming blot of idiocy , who
brought you out here ? You came your
self. '
"Thon the colonel got madder than
ever , and ho wouldn't ' talk again. But
that was a mercy.
"It was getting along toward dark
when we got to the hotel. The colonel
was prancing up to the front door when
the man who drove the team came out of
tlio barn.
" 'Hoy , ' says ho , 'the constable' . * * wait
ing for you follows. lie's over to tno
hotel. '
"Maybe I and the colonel didn't run.
Wo just lit out and hung around in the
brush until it was plum dark. Then we
crawled back to the hotel , but the con
stable was still sitting there.
"Then the colonel tried to make a bolt
to the woods and the constable MIW him
With a whole pack in full cry after us ,
the eolonol and 1 ran down the hill. I
guess we outdistanced the constable and
his crow. lint after a while they came
after us with lanterns , and wo had to run
again. Up in the heavy bru.ih they lost
us , and when wo got our wind wo struck
out for the railroad.
"Tho nearest station was ten miles olT ,
and the eolonol wus nearly dead buforo
wo got half way there. He cat down on
u tie and swore that , ho was dying. He
was wet through and about the most
miserable man that ever cussed a streak
of hard luck.
"The colonel got so bad that I got
some chips and started a Urn by the rail
road truck. Ho lav down beside It and
tried to got dry. Ho was just beginning
to grunt when there wn.s a roar down the
road und the train cumo pulling 'round '
the curve.
"Tho llrst thing the engineer saw , I
giioes , was our lire , and then you should
have heard the racket. Ho just turned
all his steam into his old whistle and
tooted like u tlond possessed. The train
came to a standstill by our lire , and than
the conductor came racing up , swearing
awfully. I got out. The colonel ex
postulated , but they were so mad they
were going to thrash him , I got on the
platform of the last car , and blow mo if
they would lot the eolonol got on. Ho
prayed and pleaded , but the conductor ;
said no , and the train started with the
colonel doing moro cussing.
"W en the last car was abreast , how
ever , the colonel grabbed the hand bar
und hung on for his life , Ho took steps
about four yards long , and when the
train got going ho just sailed out behind.
I yanked and pulled till I got him aboard.
My ! I thought ho was going to'dlo. But
ho didn't. After awhile ho bogoiiHwear-
ing again , and thun I felt relieved.
"After wo had gone about ten mllea
wo got up In the car. The eolonol went
lirst , but ho hadn't taken two stops when
he fell back with a gasp.
" 'What's the matter ? ' Bays I.
" ' .Matter ? ' nays ho. 'Tho constable's
in that car. ' <
"And , sure enough , ho was. Then wo
wont out on the stops and sat In the cold.
The eolonol shivered till lie rocked the
our , and he moro than lit into mo. Buy ,
I've been sworn ut iu fifteen dilTorcnt
languages , but the way the colonel Hulled
into mo was art. I Bat there and groaned ,
and for about twenty mile * the train left
a streak of blue behind.
" \Vorodoonttiotull of that car for
fifty miles and the colonel swore all the
way. Kvory tlmo wo cnnto to a station
wo got nit nnd hid , And after every
station the colonel wni wort\o than ovor.
"Finally , It got so bad that I got ties-
IM-rato and went Into the ear. The con- - * .
atiihlo was gone. I aiked a rod-noneil
man In the back neat wfioro the Odn-
stab o wai. and ho told mo that the con

And there wo two blooming chumps sat
on the platform all that tlmo.
"I lot tlio colonul sit there for about

Just than a limp llguro cnmo slouching i
around the corner. When It saw the " "

liking for English and French ideas and
customs , which has heretofore pervaded
Russian society and been held as a sign
of Intellectual culture , has given way to
an inclination toward American views.
Menu Calrd , who is n critic of man
kind , says : "Men marry for fortune and
some to please their fancy , but much
of tenor than is suspected they consider
what the win-Id will Kay of it ; how such
a woman in their friends' eyes will look
at the head of a table. IJonco wo see so
many insipid beauties made wives of
that could not have struck the pnrtieular
fancy of any man that hud any fancy at
all. These I cull furniture wives ; and
mon buy them as they buy furniture pie- -"V.V
turos because they suit this or that niolio
in their hornet- . "
A rich young widow in Cos Cob has boon
wearied almost into her grave of late by
a succession of badly trained servants.
Ono by ono they loft her , making all
sorts of uncomfortable itdlouu. Finally
she hired ono who knew nothing about
writing or mailing. This example of
British emigration was the worst of the
lot , and when she departed her mistress . . . .
gave hot a recommendation which will
probably succeed in getting her some
splendid situation. It read as follows :
"Mary has been in my house One month ,
minus thrco wcuks. During that tlmo ,
she has shown herself diligent at the
front door ; frugal in work ; mindful
of herself ; prompt in excuses ; friendly
toward niori , principally the grocery
man and the milkman ; faithful to
sweethearts ; and honest when o very-
thing in the house has boon looked up , "
A young woman disciple of Delsarto
urges the importance of keeping the
face in drawing , by which she means In
its normal , untwisted , uncontracted ,
muscular condition , as a preservative of
H youthful appearance. Wrinkles are
only frequently assumed , lines become -
come habitual ; oven the lines
taken on in laughing ner-
petuato themselves In urotvsfunt.
Fretting and worrying make piirpondio-
ular furrows between the eyebrows ; anx
iety gives tiio broker * hnrl/.unlal lines on
the foraluuid. Bodily weakness , of
course , hastens these unwelcome signals
of age , since It is hard for the weak anil
HtilToring to control their musoles , which
often contract Involuntarily from pain.
But strong , healthy persons have the
option of a smooth , placid brow In old
ago or ono furrowed llko a plowed Hold
largely in thulr own hands.
It Is becoming more than ever a popu
lar fad that every woman shall have ho
particular Mower and perfume , and the
newest scents possess the most subtle
fragrance. It is bald that , Ilku the
thirst for alcohol , the love for perfume
grown so quickly when once the habit in
developed , that oven a sojourn at the
Koeloy institute In of no avail , und its
unfortunate victims uro led to most
boundless HmltH. Ono fair lady whoso
tastes uro acknowledged .to bo' the ox-
troino of culture forces her maid to tuko
four or live baths a day seen ted with her
favorite perfume , ( Iho mistress's , not the
inald'n , favorite perfume , ) no that she
may always have In her rooms and about
her the faint Intoxicating odor which IB
absolutely essential to her happiness.
Rumor does not state whether the maid'a
wages are Increased or whether tdie In
paid so ranch for each bath. This fore-
ing one's maid to bathe o oxuonalvoly
will add a now source of outlay for mi
lady's exchequer , but if once the fashion.
Is bet , It will surely have mnuy fol
