A Curious Fancy That Has Captured
Certain Actresses.
Prom the Philadelphia Press.
A lady writes to the Press TO know II IL
is really true that diamonds arc worn by
some women imbedded in their teeth. The
only authentic case known is that OF Ger.
tain burlcsque actress in New York, who
thought il would he very delightful indeed
to flash dazzling CLEANS Of light upon her
admirers every time she opened hermouth.
The diamond, OF course very small one,
is fixed in false front tooth two-thirds the
size OF the natural incisor, a corresponding
portion OF which is cut away and the false
tooth "piyoted" on to the real one. Were
the gem imbcddcd in natural tooth II
would speedily cause II TO decay. The
tooth selected is always the most promi-
nent, and the lady 10 whom the credit OF
this brilliant inspiration is due is said 10
have created very great sensation upon
her firs. appearance with diamond in her
mouth. The dentist who aided her TO
achieve this triumph says he has received
half dozen orders for front teeth set with
diamonds

a patrol wagon to convey a man to
the hospital who was bleeding to death
until regular patrOlman had been sent
out on a two-mile trip to ascertain
whether the man was drunk or only dy-
ing. His understanding is that the pa
troll wagon is kept for the accommOda-

mittee of the labor organizations, which
was sent to them. that the public was

ferred the matter to the city attorney.

lily ignored its duty in compliance with
the demands of this and other petitions
from the citizens of Minneapolis. and

sistently violates the requirements of
the street railway ordinance of said city

comes around authorized to collect the
same.
Resolved, That anyone who is obliged
to stand out Oh the platform on account
