NOTES.
The news of the victory of the Chicagos
was received with enthusiasm in that city
by the large crowds around the bulletin
boards, and many congratulat0ry kilograms
were sent to the Yictors. The Chicago nine
will remain in Boston until Wednesday
evening
Arrangements have been concluded be-
tween the Chicagos and the St Louis team,
champions of the American Association, for
a series of six games to decide the cham
pionship of the world. If the st. Louis
Browns are victorious, Mr.. Won der Abe,
the president of the st. Louis Association,
will give them one-thlrd of the receipts. In
case four games are won straight by either
club, from the beginning Of the series, an
other will be played anyhow, making flve
games in all. In case the clubs win three
games each of the first six, thus being tied,
ground, that is neither in st. Louis nor in

The Tageblatt has telegram from Lem

instructed the commanders of four infantry
divisions in the districts of Psykor, Duna-
burg, Minsk and Orel to recall all men on
furlough, and to hold the troops in readiness

VIENNA, Oct. 10-The Vienna police have
furnished the press with an account recently
of the discovered Anarchist plot to burn
Vienna. The plot is shown to surpass in
extent and diabolical ingenuity any dyna-
mite plot hitherto cOncOcted. Seventeen
eonspirators are arrested. The examination
of the prisoners shows that the plot was
Matched in and directed from America and
London and was to be carried out by Viea-
nese Anarchists who recently returned from
America. The conSpirators were divided
into several groups, ene of which was de-
tailed to set the fire, and another to take
charge of the dynamite operations, and
another to forge necessary official documents
and coin money for expenses. The police
got wind of the plot and watched it until it
was almost matured.
The plotters are mostly CzechS and Ger
mans. They had secret meeting in tav-
ern at Pensing, where operators were in
structed in the use and manufacture Of
bombs.

Religious Riots in India.

DELPHI, Oct. 9.-The situation which has
grown out of religious rioting between the
Hindoos and MOhammedans is extremely
critical Re-enforcements have been sent
here from Merut to help preserve order. The
Mohammedans attacked small temple, and
the Hindoos defended it, and desperate
fight ensued in which the Mohammedans
were victors. They then besmeared the
temple with blood, smashed the idols, and
destroyed the building Twenty Hlndoos
were so badly wounded in the battle that
they had to be removed to hospitals, where
they lie in a critical condition. Serious reli-
gious riots between Hindoos and M0hamme-
dams prevail throughout the district of Jey-
poor and Kattywar.

The Pioneer Farmers Wives

The true farmers wife. and there are
thousands of them scattered through Ne
braska in happy little homes, has done as
much in her quiet way toward the devel-
opment OF our state from frontier to farm
land as her sturdy husband and sons.
Her work, though largely unseen, has
been no less effective. 1t shows in the
up-building of home interests and all that
goes to make up purity and happiness in
the home and in the community. 1t man.
ifests itself in the thrifty economy of
those who are to make the future wives
of coming farmers and in the integrity and
industry of the sons who will some time
take their fathers place in the field
and furrow. The west owes as much to
the farmers wife as it does to the farmer
himself. but the results have been too
often attained at the expense of the worn
out lives of the faithful women who have
been pioneers in the procession of civil
ization and development.-Omaha (Neb. J

How A MINISTER'S WIFE CAME BACK FROM
THE TOMB

Whitemarsh church is located in Talbot
county. near cross road village, known bv
the singular and not euphoniOus title of The
Hole in the Wall. The village name is said
to date from the sncie Mt DAYS when Oxford
was port of entry The smuggling sailors
would bring their crooked liqu re from the
port at night aud deposit the bottles of cog
mace and Hollands in hole in the wall Of
the traders shop, returning in the morning
for their payment. Whitemarsh church dates
back beyond 1890, and here mini>tered Com
missioner Bray, one of the originstors of the
famous Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, through the agency of which the
Church of England has spread its Influence

In some unexplained way il long since, With

In I'LL, the Rev. Mr.. Mavpadier was

is that his wife died after brief illness and
was buried with rather unusual haste. The

Washington Etiquette and For
malities.

| II cannot be expected that the ladies OF
/ the families of the Secretaries of the Cab
| met should return in person the calls made
upon them during their winter receptions.
| Their duties are sufficiently arduous and
constant even when made light as posi-
| BILE. During the season, or at its close,
cards of these ladies, together with that
/ of the cabinet officer, are sent by messen'
ger to all those whose Washington ad-
| dresses have been on the cards left by VISIT
ors. These ladies are in certain meas
ure bound to bave evening receptions to
which the families of other officials, their
particular friends, and the diplomatic
CORPS, are invited. At some of these res
| licences one evening in each week IS de-
voted to the purpose OF receiving Ger
! tain number of guests by card, unless that
| evening clashes with some more lmpor-
tant dinner or reception. Each Cabinet
minister. the e-President. the Speaker
of the House, and each Justice OF the Su-
preme Court. has one or more formal din
ners during the season; so do other Off
Gals. and hardly an afternoon or even
ing passes without one or more social oo-
legations resting upon all. Indeed, the
amount of visiting done as a matter of ct
iquette is something appalling and is real
ly more wearing to CONSCIENTIOUS man
than his mere official duties. And it IS
no secret in Washington that many ladies
married and single-have either lost
their lives or live in ruined health, from
OVERRIDING in social way, or from the OBJ
noxious fashion of wearing low-cut
dresses.
The wives of most of the Senators are
sat home on Thursday afternoons, not
only to acquaintauces but to persons from
their own States especially. 1t is less
obligatory upon the wives Of the Repre-
sentatives, but large share Of them keep
their afternoon at home.
The diplomatic corps form in great
measure, society by themselves, though
on official occasions they make unique
and picturesque feature of life at the Cap
itol. Most of the powers of the world
are here represented by ministers who APP
pear at public places in the dress of the
country from which they are accredited.
They entertain great deal, and with the
secretaries of their Legations, are much
sought after by those who have large So
cial inclinations. Many of the ladies be-
longing tothe diplomatic corps are very cul
tivaled and are fascinating hostesses, but
balls and dinners are also given by the
heads of bachelor establishments, assist
ed by matrons we'll known in society.
Ladies OF American birth frequently inter
marry with ministers and attaches, though
not so often as in former years. Madame
Bodlsco, it will be remembered, first made
the acquaintance of the gentleman who
afterward became her husband, and who
then was grave, mature man,-the Min
lister from Russia, while going to and
from school. But not many international
marriages have been so happy, despite
the disparity of ages.-IlEsTER NJ. POOLE,

What Good Dinner Really Is.


What we mean by good square meal
is not simply roast beet and potatoes. with
piece of indigestible pie and cup of
ordinary coffee, but table covered with
snow white linen. the china and glassware
shining like so many miniature mirrors,
with bouquets OF fresh blooming flowers
in season, aud napkins soft and fresh from
the laundry. not stiff as pasteboard, SO that
they will slide from your knee. These
preparations cost but trifie, and are the
invariable precursor of good appetite.
No dish should be served undecorated ;
the fish and meat should be surrounded
with small pieces of either parsley or
beets, carrots or turnips cut by molds in
to various knickknack devices, not so
much for eating as for ornamentation,
and also as an appetizer. For buildings,
melons, etc. pulverzed sugar should al
ways be at hand and for iced tea a slice
or two of lemon with graduated sugar.
Cleanliness of the table should be co-im-
portant with cleanliness OF the body
