New York Letter TO St Louis Republican
You should see these travellers in the

looks presentable in the unbecomlng
things. The London-Tower sBeefeater''
is mostly scarlet: the fashionable Beef
eater" here is of all colors and materials,
mostly satin, and usually black or white.
There IS little brim sticking out un-
becomingly straight across the forehead,
and big, bulgy bag Of. satin gathered or
plated on, ever so much larger at the top
than round the head. Feather-tips don't
save it; it's not in ornamentation to rescue
the wearer. Mrs. John Raymond sports
a black satin one with gold feather.tips,
and a check silk one to match gray
suit. Mrs. Coghlan wears ghastlv-white

thankful: Dur walking dresses are to be

who don't wear No. Z walking shoes.
We have been filters of silk. and carriers
OF founces long enough, to say nothing
of "h'isters" of crinoline weighing pounds
upon pounds. The force of habit is not
lightly overcome, however, and it is very
droll to see lady in her new short suit
emerge from door, suddenly throw out
her chest, dislocate her shoulder, convulse
her countenance, and make that everlast-
ing old grab at her skirt she has got so
used to carrying, only to come up from
the fruitless expedition hurried, discom-
fitted, with heightened color and temper
instead of the tail Of her gown.

He Had The Pleasure.

He had been in the habit of standing
on the curbstone, in front of the church,
after service, and waiting for his girl.
AS he prided himself greatly upon his
politeness in public places, he invariably,
even after bet:othal, stepped up to her,
and doffing his hat, requested permission
to see her home.
The first time they went to church after
they were married they were unable to
secure seats together. This, however, did
not worry him. He secured seat for mis-
wife, and at once sought his old quarters
by the stove, ana among some of his old
cronies.
After services were over, he absent
mindedly walked out with the boys and
took his cid stand On the curbstone. With
flashing eyes and glowing cheeks out
came his wife. She would nave passed

sold Apple john"

On recent Saturday night, in New
York, an old man known as apple
john" died in miserable cellar, all
alone. He was an inventor, and thought
he had discovered perpetual motion-and
he had worked at it steadily for thirty
years. He kept an apple stand in his
cellar, end all that he made by the bust
ness ne spent in perfecting his invention.
He had an idea, purpose. He slept
on pile of straw in his solitary cellar,
in squalid neighborhood, and spent days
and nights of toll over his machine;
stinted himself in food, clothing, and all
the pleasures of life, and when at last he
died, there was no one to comfort his
death struggle, no one to close his eyes.
But did "old Apple John" live alone3
On no; there lived in his cellar the most
beautiful presence that ever gladdened
the wretchedness of this life, presence
that was near him all the time and kept
his company;a spirit that had fled per-
haps from the halls and bowers OF wealth
and luxury to nestle in the cellar of old
Apple joint was Hope.
With her for his companion old John
was happy; he sang at his work and

and OF the jeers of his acquaintance.
He looked forward to the time when
Hope should be his, when she should be
realized, his bride. On the night before
his death she had been very caressing to
him. He called 8 boy and sent him to
get some refreshments, saying that his in
vitation was complete. He was gay and
confident. On he next day his shop did
not opon. When they went in they
found the old man dead with smile on
his face. Around him were his decaying
fruits and cakes, and the complicated
wheels and springs and pulleys OF his in
vention. Hope had gone, but she had
left in the smile on his face the impress
of her parting kiss.
DO not pity this old man. He had
been far happier than many rich man
on Fifth avenue had ever dreamed of.

Saved by a Play.bill.

The old saying that everything finds its
use sooner or later is simply borne out by
an episode in Russia's eastern progress
which one may still hear related at times
which infinite glee, by some veteran of the
Russian army. While Bokhara was still
an independent principality under the
terrible Nashrullah Kahn, small party
of Russian engineer officers fIom the set
tlemenr of the Syr-Daria ventured into
the hostile territory, in the hope of sur
veying portion of it before they could be
interrupted. This hope, however, was
speedily disappointed by the appearance
Of an Overwhelming force of Bokharlote
horsemen, who advanced with the evident
intention of attacking them.
The Russian leader, seeing his case des-
perate, boldly assumed the character of
special envoy from the car to the amecr,
and in this character made triumphal
entry into the capital, escorted by the
very men who had been about to take
his lite. Admitted to an audience he
coolly presented his own gold wa:ch and
silver-hand.ed knife to the savage despot
as the cars gift to his ''royal brother, y
and everything was proceeding with tee
utmost smoothness, when the ameer upset
everything by suddenly observing that
surely the great car Of the Ooroos rus
sians) must have sent letter of some
kind along with his gifts.
At this malapropos remark the self
styled ambassador turned pale as death,
and already felt his head sit loosely upon
his shoulders. A young subaltern be-
! side him, however, with miraculous
presence of mind, drew from his pocket
book an old play-bill of the Alexander
theater at st. Petersburg, and ccolly
read it from an imaginary letter of con-
graduation, winding up by handing it
with low bow to the ameer. The lat
ter, who had already seen the cars name
appended to more than one official docu-
mant, was quite convinced by the sight
of the huge Alexander" along the top of
the paper in company with the Russian
double eagle; and the precious play bill
was rcverently deposited among the royal
archives of Bohkara, where il probably
remains to this day.
