A Truly Strange Coincidence.

''Speaking of strange condolences. y
said Dooflicker, II am reminded of a
thing that happened to me once. | was
standing on the breakwater here in
Chicago one day in the summer of 1912,
when one of my cuffs dropped off into the
lake and big fish came up and swallow
ed it, | mOurned q good deal over it be-
cause the sleeve button in that cuff was
made of gold that l dug myself in Califor-
MIA in lS49. Well, time ran along and |
forgot all about the sleeve button, Soon
after that had the trouble with my hair,
and had to doctor for that?'
What trouble was that paw? asked
Theophilus.
"Why, didn't | ever tell you about that? {?
Well, you see | found that / was losing
my hair. 1t didn't come out by the roots,

There was short silence, which The

Anthracite furnace, owned by the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railroad Company,

Hundreds OF curious citizens walked

to-day to get glimpse of the Holland
submarine torpedo boat brought here
from New York yesterday. 1t lies

opinion is prevalent that the rams

charge OF the boat, denies that it IS out of
repair, but admits that the machinery is
exceedingly rusty. He refuses to allow
any visitors on board, Tonight a man to
whom he brought letter of Introduction

main at New Haven for three or four
days, and would then be taken TO New

ION OF experts OF the Navy Department.
John j. Breslin is in town. He denies
that his visit here has anything to do with
the boat.
"Breslin took the boat away from Pam

had supplied the money to build the boat.

bills, in amount less than $100. He said
all the money had been disbursed, and
that it was about time to get in some

he would provide in the future for the

The FIving Machine Invented at Last.

Editor Morning NelCs: After sixteen
years of close study and experiment,
have perfected the design Of a flying
machine. This machine, by a combina-
tion of mechanical appliances now in use
and familiar to all machinists, using
steam as motor without the aid of buoy
ant gas, after run of one or two hum
dred yards on a smooth track, will leave
the ground and climb the still air like
swallow. 1t will scale the mountain top
and cross the valley like an eagle and
land again npOn any chosen ground with
the gentleness of a snowflake. Then it
can be made to fold and box its wings
and take a common carriage road ahead
of any cOach-and-siX that ever carried
the United States mail. A machine to
carry two men could be turned out fin
ished from a shop well fitted for the busi-
ness for about 500 or 81, 900.
il would require the best skilled labor
in America to do this work A shop
fitted out expressly for the business in all
its parts is not now in existence in the
United States. Such skill as puts up the
finest sewing machines, steam engines
and clock works would be needed. /
would like to engage with some individual
or company who could furnish the means
and build a shop and manufacture these
machines for sale.
l would submit my plans without re-
serve to a competent board of practical
machInistS upon the basis of a substantial
overture with proper security. But de-
cline TO discuss them prematurely with
anyone. With profound respect, your
obedient servant,

expressed the opinion that cOrdons around
the city are now useless, they will proha-

other severe assault in a local Sunday

this city of baggage containing burglars

asserts that the articles referred to were
sent here by certain Secret Service officials.

for the public to believe that the Secret
Service was performing good work.
This system of planting" plates, tools
and counterfeit money to be used in fore

an important capture upon the news
papers, Wood asserts, originated with the
former chief, Hiram G. Whitley, and had
been regularly adhered to since in dull
times. In this connection he refers to a
case alleged to have been recently at
tempted under this scheme near Pitts
burg, but failed. He then SAYS;
:'Ihe counterfeiting material for the oc-
casion is believed to have been furnished

Boston Courier.
Anyone who has once enlOVed them can
never forget the long sunny days of Sc
vile, the delicious dreamy atmosphere.
the evening walks through orange groves
and island gardens, along the banks Of
the beautiful Granddaughter, fringed with
acaclas and willows, rejecting in its si-
lent depths the soft lights and the deep
shadows of the western sky; the glory of
the setting sun beyond the green plains
ana the distant palms, gliding the
tops OF the tall masts that rise
like slender church spires and the
beautiful Moorish Giralda in the CITY
and the great Tower d'Oro by the river
side, and flooding the earth with golden
radiance; and then the slow, solemn COM
ing up of the great yellow moon over the
orange gardens and the palm trees behind
the stately palace of the Due de Mont
pensler; and the sweet pensive mystery of
the nights, when the rustic of the palms
and the fragrance of the orange blossoms
and the soft rhythmical plash of the foun-
tain IN the patio beneath ones window
mlngle with ones dreams: and one half
wakes at the hourly peal of the cathedral
bell to hear the serene chanting in musi-
cal cadence the hour Of the night, and the
comforting assurance that ''all is well,o
and the weather is fair" 1t all seems
ike beautiful dream; and yet never
was dream so real.
The dress of the SevilIeans-especialIy
of the wOmen-if somewhat less pictur-
esque than is found among their cousins
of the Orient, is far better adapted for the
exhibition of beauty of form and feature.
The ungraceful wells with which the Mo-
hammedan Mauresque conceals all her
beauty but that of the dark lustrous ewes.
in the Andalusian Mauresque has been
etherialiZed to a scarf of soft clinging
lace which, encircling the face and fall-
ing in graceful folds about the throat and
shoulders, only heightens the beauty it
may have once been intended to conceal
The plalnest of cOuntenances is softened
and ldealized by this sort of a veil
the beautiful becomes bewitching. No
shapeless jacket and baggy trowsers and
clumsy slippers hide or distOrt the ex-
quisite beauty of these 1.-the and slender
forms, the graceful droop of the shoulders.
the high-arched Einstep of the little foot
OF the supple grace of carriage. These
small feet of the Andalusian, so much be-
sung, are no figment of the poets brain.
1t Is one OF the first things a stranger OBJ
serves, and is particularly noticeable in
the children, whose dainty little feet seem
scarcely staunch enough to support
the plump little legs above them; and the
shops where children's shoes are sold one
might easily take for an emporium of dolls
outhts. Nor has the rOmancist very much
exceeded the limits of truth in his rhap-
sOdies on Andalusian beauty. PIaipness
OF feature, except among the old and
hard worked, is the exception. The beau
ty of the women, if not of the highest
type, is of very gratifying quality; but
the beauty of the children seems some-
thing almost miraculous,
