"A Story OF Jesse James.

Now that I am on the subject cf
trotting,"'' said Secretary Hall. Of De-
troit. in the rotunda Of the Merchants,
II am reminded of an incident that
took place in 1876 at the Kansas City
meeting. Thore were several thousand
people congregated in the Vicinity, Of
the ticket office, when suddenly band
Of men rode into the inclosure and be-
gan dlscharging firearms apparently
right into the crowd. AS they expect
ed, there was n general scattering. and
ere the people collected their senses the
ticket man had been overpowered and
his cash box. containing about $1,000,
taken away by the members Of the
shooting party, who turned out to be
members Of the Jesse James gang. Re-
wards were offered for tho detection
and arrest Of the perpetrators, but noth-
Ing ever came of 1t.
"The next summer, one day while
travelling along the road toward Inde-
pendence Mission, met n single horse
man. and we soon became engaged in
conversation. We did not exchange
cards or names, but rode along into tho
town on pretty good terms, and few
moments after we separated I learned
that my companion was mono other
than the notorious jesse James himself.
1t was his crowd that had robbed my
ticket seller year before, but l did
not recognize him as one Of the partici.
pants. Among the people 1t was. tho
general impression, and / have never
heard 1t contradlcted from reliable
source, that Jesse James scorned to en-
act the role Of a highwayman when
single person was concerned, but took a
delight In frightening large crowds
when IN search OF booty. His men
knew that shooting over the heads Of
the spectators would alarm them fully
as much and create more OF a panic
than hy killing people In cold blood.
and hence their forays were always
with great deal ofnoise. but
)ittle violence toward their victims.

Japanesestyle. They were compelled
before entering the dining hall to take

selves on rugs, with brazlers before
them. Pretty Japanese girlswaited on
them. Fish, raw and broiled. and fish
cooked in all llWays were set before them,

Ahe stone.wOrk on this palace was

Weighing four or five tons. Kioto was
one of the most beautiful places they
visited. The hotel is situated on a
nigh hill overlooking the city, the view
being o most magnificent one. Here
they saw the Japanese wrestlers. Their
great strength astonished the 5Ameri-
cans. 1t was here also they went to
the theatre. Mr.. Garrett saw their

A NOBLE SWEDISH WOMAN.
The Lady Who Initiates the Famous
Agnes Weston in Work. Among tho
Poor.

Miss Hedeustrom felt one day
personal call, aud became conscious Of
a new life within her. Women are moi
allowed to preach the gospel in Swe.
den. Impelled by the sense Of g
mission laid upon her, Miss Hedenstrom
lefG the land Of her birth. Her inten.
tlon was to find out Miss Reeves and
60 to india to help in gospel work.
With this intention she travelled over
to London. There the terrible tragedy
OF SIN. enacted in the highways and by.
ways Of the great city. enrolled itself
before her, and it came upon her that
there lay the field of her work. The
spectacle Of the Scandlvlan sailors, who
are 80 largely employed in the English
merchant service, and who appeared so
homeless, exposed to such dire tempta-
tlon on London shore, especially appeal
ed to her. ~
She grew impelled to warn, advise
and pray with them In their own tong
ue. Soine ton years ago the Strangers
Rest was opened in Radcliffe highway
by Mr.. Radcliffe and Miss MCPHERSON
and few earnest: people. The idea
was to form there a centre for Gospel
teaching among the seamen Of, all ma
tionalities, congregatlng in the London
docks. Miss Hedenstrom found her
way thither one night with the purpose
OF addressing herself to the Scandinav.
ian tars. THO terrors Of that night,
the humlllating insults to which she
was exposed on her return through the
highway, are still vividly impressed
upon her mind--abandoned women jost-
led her, Knocked her, pulled her by the
lair.
II determined never again to go
down that awful road" she said "but
tho Lord had determined otherwise-I
went again and again." Each time that
she preached her audience increased in
numbers, her hearers grew moro rever-
ent aud attentive and as the work
grew and its attendant difficulties In
creased 1t became more and more evl-
dent to her that this was the mlssion
she had been intended to fulGll--to be
holp to her oountrymen in q. foreign
land. For three years the young SWe-
dish woman laborel with preaching
and prayer among the Scandinavian
sailors In London. Then the neel of a
respectable home for them became ap-
parent. The men over anu over again
had expressed this need to her. They
told her they knew not where to 90 to
escape from the temptations raging
around them. After many struggles
the Scandinavian Temperance Sailors
Home was opened on October 25, 1880.
which has since been visited by hosts Of
seafhring men to be housed and cared
for. An average of more than one
hundred men sit down to four supstan-
tial meals, and to realize the extent of
work Miss Hedenstrom accompllshes it
must be remembered that she alone
rules over that large household, lays in
Its provisions, works and serves its In
mates.

NEW FASHIONS IN DINNERS.
Lots OF Lifo and Always
Music.

Among accepted novelties must be
mentioned the now general fashion Of
much silver brlc.a brac upon the tables
To each guest a tiny silver salt-cellar,
OF a different shape to each cover.
This Is in the shape Of n marmite, this
of saucepan, that or,a shell. Also
at small familiar dinners TO each guest
is q little butter dish. also Of silver, In
q fancifui shape, and a tiny knife there
to--an excellent addition to the table
when oysters arc served, and, pro:ty
withal, also appetizing with the ice
spangled pat cf yellow butter in the
silver shell. Still at the diner intime,
in front Of tho host the mustard pot,
tho pepper mill. Yonder silver pickle
jar. The table should resemble a
children's feast. Llliputian trifles
everywhere. Candles are much used
now, with tinted shades, In silver can
dlestioka. }s,
at grand dinner parties the most
luxury possible is the. order of the day.
1t Is in these lean years matter Of
serious consideration the giving Of q
fashionable dinner party, the expenses
being enormous. Including wines.
flowers and the Indispensable orchestra,
1T Is safe to assert that a fashionable
dinner Of twenty or thirty covers in q
good house costs the entertainers a
minimum Of 500 head. Candelabra
OF silver or gold are much used. 1t is
the object to have as much light as pos
sible. Rare and recherche flowers and
fruits are sought for at no matter what
expense. lis indifferent whether the
flowers be beautiful or the fruit Of
pleasant SAVIOR. provided they be costly
and unique.
llor5 d'0uvres are now almost In.
variab'y served In the Russian way. NO
dinner begins we'll nowadays which is
not proceeded by caviar, smoked salmon
and Russian cordials. The host must
also play the costly role OF Monte
Cristo, and there must be at least one
unique and rare dish on the menu--a
sterlet. a bustard, q culssot OF bear, o
rotide cerf. Foie-gras shonld be serXed'
TN inminUus ice, etner nj slices 1pn u
large block or In rounds on q pyramid
OF illuminated ice. The ice is white or
tinted al choix, and is Of beautiful
effect. hn
AS to the menu cards, no present
novelties are TO be noticed. at good
houses the menu is printed on rough
edged paper, the guests name being
written in illuminated text at the
right hand corner. In the important
matter Of decorations novelty exists
in the garlands looping from the CEN
trail chandelier round the candelabra.
The garlands should be made of green
cry, with costly blooms, and tied with
bows Of various coIored silks at IL
tervals. To complete this style of de-
coration q large epergne, full Of grow.
ing flowers, should be placed before the
hostess. The 'uniquo" style is to
place one most costly flower before
each guest, each flower to be different
CT It's kind. and each to be placed in o
unique and costly bouquetiere. At
one houGe the sole decoration was a
single orchid Of priceless value in a
little Venetian glass standing in the
centre Of the table.
