AMATEUR POTTERY:.
A Story from, Cincinnati.

Cincinnati letter says: lady well known
IN social circles the wife of one OF the Judges Of
our court. eXcels iii the ceramic art. She made
salad dish in imitation OF q large cabbage leaf
and Ornamented the side with a lizard. Having
finished the work she sent it by her son to the
kiln with note directing it to be burned. The
boy. partaking of his mothers enthusiasm. had
also become something of all expert as a worker
In clay. On this occasion he made himself some
marbles and slipped them quietly into the pack
age. so that they could be- burned with the dish.
When the burner opened the package he was at
loss 10 know what to do with the marbles be-
hevln@ them in some way to belong to the dish.
Suddenly thought struck him. The reptile
must be a crocodile and what more natural
than to take the balls for crocodile tears; and
he accordingly stuck them around the dish and
burned it with this unlocked for addition to the
ornamentatiOn- The piece of work was we'll

mother that the tears were an Improvement

The Real CAPITAL.

Correspondence Of the Boston Evening Star.
The charms of Washington as winter resort
are beginning to be appreciated The climate is
delightful and in spite of the Potomac malaria,
which is so much talked and written about.
Washington stands near the top in the list of
healthful cities AS soon as the filling up of the
Potomac marshes Is accomplished. for which the
last Congress appropriated $4OO. Goo there will
be no reason why people here should ever die at
all. The broad straight avenues, the pie-shaped
pieces of ground rigdlv reserved as the lungs of
the city. the great public parks and gardens all
contribute to make it the healthiest as well as
the most beautiful city in the country For
there is no denying it, New York may brag, BOs-
ton may boast, Philadelphia may sheer, but
Washington is the real capital Of the country
1t has ceased to be southern village and has be-
come great metropolis. 1t is unique in every
particular. 1t is well known that the fathers
located it with special view of getting away
from trade, and consequently trade hasgot away
from 1t. There Is but one business here that
amounts to anything and that is the real estate
business. 1t seems to be definitely settled that
anybody who aspires to be anybody must have
winter residence in Washington. Formerly
the Senator or Representative who owned house
here was the rarest kind of bird; now at least
half of them own or rent property in the Dis
trict.

CGLD WEATHER. IN RUSSIA.
The Winters Indications There.

From the y. Y. Herald.
The early winter which, according to last
weeks cable report, has set in in Russia is ap-
parently premOnitory of cold season over
Western Europe. With freezing weather at
st. Petersburg, a temperature down to ten
degrees at Nijni-NOvgorod and navigation sus-
pended in the Volga and Kama rivers by drift
ice on the 10th of October. the outlook is
boreal. The rivers OF Eastern Russia as the
Kama and other tributaries of the Volga
freeze earlier than those of the Western sec
tons in the same latitude. But even as far east
as the Ural Mountain chain i'll October the tenn
perature. moisture and storms of the Allan
tic ocean are usually traceabe DR.. WoeikOf
thinks it is even ''pOssb that in October At
Iantic storms may reach as far as Yakntsk"
Siberia. as this is the most cloudy month of the
year and the temperature has not vet fallen so
low as to prevent the propagation of storms. If
the recent report of abnormal cold and ice in
the rivers is correct the premature winter wea-
Their Is probably due to unusually large accumu-
iations OF ice in the Arctic ocean near Nova Zem-
bia. The freezing of Russian rivers is not an
unerring index OF the character of the coming
winter, as was shown in that of 1901 (the
then coolest winter Of the century,. in which the
Ncva fr0Ze seven days laterand opened ten DAYS
earlier than is generally the case AS to the
recent Freezing weather. reported from St
Petersburg. this is not phenomenal for the
period. as the average of the minimum tempera-
lures recorded there in October during twelve
years is % degrees But. taking the late deyel-
Opments OF the Russian winter i'm connection
with the ice conditions which, according to the
best information, prevail in the Arctic seas north
and northwest OF Europe. the probabilities that
the frozen masses will influence the coming
season In northern and western Europe very
materially are very strong.
In the United States the conditions which in
dictate cold transatlantic season are not pres
ent. The character of our winter is determined
not so much by ice conditions in the remote
polar basin as by the humidity of the atnos-
phere over British America and the consequent
excessive or diminished radiation from the con-
tinent: the most intense cold is generated on
the northern part of the continent and not
brought from the far north by winds. Though
autumn frostS this year are earlier in some sec
tons OF this country than they were last year.
there are, as yet, no indications that we shall
have an excessively cold winter

FIR ON the New York Herald.
MIR. Howard Carroll has met Gen. Slocum.
The encounter took place on Park row yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Carroll had been looking for
Gen. Slocum at republican meetings. but had
not found him. He saw his antagonist on Park
row, and recognized him by the campaign por-
traits that have been scattered broadcast by the
democratic state convention.
Il have found you at last, General" said Mr..
Carroll extending his hand.
The General grasped the hand warmly, and
said he knew Mr.. Carroll from having seen his
campaign portraits.
81 am very glad to see you. SIR" said Gen.
Slocum. You don't think me such a terrible
man. do you:'
"By no means, General" responded the
youthful candidate; but can't we have drink
together, somewhere"
The two candidates entered a Park row bar
room. and General Slocum took whisky
''straight," while Mr.. Carroll imbibed beer.
II suppose well vote for each other" said
Mr.. Carroll at parting.
Yes. You vote for me and I'll vote for YOU"
answered the General.
Another drink was taken: Mr. Carroll took
whisky and General Socum called for beer
The first ''round" was paid for by the republican
and the second by the democrat.
With a hearty hand shake the two men
parted company. Mr.. Carroll narrated his ad-
venture to the republican state committee last
night.

A SPIDER SHARES! A SNAKE.
The slippery Victim Suspended by a
Single Thread Until He Dies.
From the Easton Gazette.

from the EaSton Gazette.
Things are constantly occurring that cause
the public to look with wonder and amazement
and it is supposed by many that no such thing
ever occurred before, but very frequently such
impressions are erroneous. Some weeks ago a
spider was found under the settee in Esquire
Robinson's Office, with snake entwined in his
web Many thought it most remarkable feat
for the spider TO accomplish Well. it was. but
spiders in years past have shown Just as much
| ingenuity. We find in the Easton Gazette of
1924 the following statement. which was copied
from the Connecticut Mirror, the statement of a
case very similar to that of squire Robinson S
snake:
One day last week the wOrkmen in Mr. Peck IS
machine factory in Southiugton discovered
under one of the work benches a black snake
of the white throat species. and about six
inches long. suspended by the web Of a spider
The spider was of the common house sort and
not uncOmmOnly large. When first discovered
the little insect had raised his victim about half
q foot from the floor and had him hung by a sin
gle thread. The ingenuity and power of the
spider were truly wonderful Passing rapidly
down his line he would fasten his cordage
around the neck of the snake, pass back to his
own nest on the under surface of the bench
then gong again down least a hitch" around
the tail and returning to his nest would avail
himself Of the contortions of the snake alter
nately hanging up his lines SO as to bring his
game nearer home. In this manner he con-
tinued his labor until evening. leaving the snake
alive, but so completely exhausted and secured
to be safe for the night. In the morning he was
dead.

You Could hardly have expected a man to face

JAY GOULD,s MaCNyFlCENCE
One of the West Palasial Vessels Ever
Built to be Constructed for the Rail-
road King.

FROM the Philadelphia Times
On Wednesday last Messrs. William Cralnp &
Sons. the kensington ship builders were
awarded a contract for the construction of a
sea-going yacht for Mr.. Jay Gould. When COM
pleted this yacht will be one of the largest. and
1t Is said. one of the tastes private boats of the
kind in the world. Nearly all the iron ship
builders in the country and number Of English
firms were competitors for the contract The
size and general model of the craft was decided
upon by Mr.. Gould. who leaves the details of con-
struction to the judgment of the Messrs Cramp.
There is an understanding, moreover, that no
expense is to be spared in adding to the speed
and power of the vessel. The building of the
yacht is already under way. The craft will be
OF iron ard steel. with steel boilers and COM
pound engines OF great power. The length of
the vessel will be $40 feet with a beam of "a
feet and depth OF 16 feet, larger than the City
of Glasgow OF the Inman line which formerly
sailed between this city and Liverpool The
outfit viii be- completed without regard to ex-
pense. The inside decorations will be attended
to by MI Gould himself. and are not included in
the contract. The plans for this work will be
made as the work upon the vessel itself pro-
crosses The terms of the contract have not
been made public. and 1t is not now possible to
give proper estimate of the cost of the Yacht.
nor has the name of the vessel been decided

WAKDRosEs AT TIaE lHEArEKs.
Stage Costumes That Cost From 500
to rs Much as $1,000.
New York Letter in the Troy Times

New York Letter in the Troy Times
Every frst-class theater has an extensive
wardrobe and a cOstumer for the male and also
for the other SEX The costuners attend to
dressing the characters for the play and it is
only stars who provide their own outfit
The only exception is when men appear in a
civilians dress. which. being in the fashion Of
the day, may come from their own tailors In
melodrama. however. or in tragedy the cos
tuner attends to the apparel. and hence the
atrical wardrobe is very costly affair Sometimes
the money thus invested equals $4,000. The
dresses are made so as to be easily altered to fit
each performer, and may consequently be ADAPTED
for some other person.
The business OF letting oIt costumes is a
speciality pursued by number of establish
ments, but the large theaters are not depen-
dent on anything outside OF their own walls
Sometimes when the guests OF a ball masoue
are lifting for the occasion they may obtain a
dress from the wardrobe of theater. but to do
this requires usual influence. These dresses are
Of course superior to the ordinary stock of the
costumer. Inside the theatrical wardrobe room
n number Of sewing operatives are constantly
busy making or altering dresses, and this alone
forms business Of no trifling amount For all
OF this class the present season affords close
employment.
While speaking on this subject one is naturally
led to theatrical costumes generally. and Mr..
Homer. the costumer informed me that O dress

EX.PREACHERS WHO WORK.
The CrOss.Eyed Cat n Brother Seemed
to See in q Baptist Conference
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In the Baptist ministers Monday meeting the
Rev. DR.. Miller brought up a motion made a
week ago to amend the constitution of the con-
ference so that the name of any minister who
has quilted the ministry and engaged in secular
business shall be dropped from the roll of the
conference. This notion one of the brethren
said in an undertone to the reporter was in
tended to operate only on Brother Taylor, of
Staten Island.
"1s it going to hit me?" asked Dr. Eddy give
retired and play croquet.''
Brother Brinckerhoff arose and said grayely:
Brother Moderator seem to see in this cues
ton crOSs-eyed cat IN that corner of the room
looking at you and at me, and l can't tell
whether it is going to jump on you or on me.
| am a retired minister, and have to work to
support my family. | am ready to preach.
Now. if am to be expelled because l work. all
I've got to Go is to be lazy man and let my
wife support ne with her needle in order that |
may retain seat in this conference. Laughter. I
shall not do it. But want to know what is
meant by minister deserving his ministry
then would know whether that cross-eyed cat
is going to Jump on me or not"
DR.. Miler-Whcn a minister goes into the
coal business or lumber business or marble busi-
ness then he deserts his ministry.
Brother Taylor-This is not the first time the
brother has alluded TO my going into the whole
sale coal business. [ hold that he who has once
been gospel minister is always a gospel min
lister. This is drop resolution-it drops on
me. Laughter 1t is proposition to make
an eX post facto law. The United States don't
allow such laws. and shall this conference?
A Mild Voice in the Corner Of the RoOm-NO,
sir [Great laughter
The whole subject was laid on the table
