Putting on Tights.
$50 you want to see me put on my
tights, do your" said one of the trapeze
York Sun as she took out of her trunk
the scarlet silk and plush combination.
"Well, in the first place, we sit down
and put them on like stockings" and
barring her legs she drew IN her foot
what seemed like a cardinal silk stock
ing, over it pulled a little shoe Of satin
with a soft sole, tied it around the
ankle with silk straps the exact color
of the tights, and then slid her foot
into a wooden clog. "These are real
French clogs my husband brought over
from Paris; we can't get them here"
After the other foot was similarly at
tired she stood up and smoothed and
stretched and rubbed on the long elas-
new glove. "You see the webbing is
heavy cotton at the top so it won't tear
when l pull it up" A narrow leather
belt, one-half an inch wide, was buckled
tightly over the tights around her
waist, and then the fine work began.
With one leg in the air she pulled and
drew on the strong webbing, kicking
and bending and c~urving the leg at
the same time, and when no suspicion
Of a wrinkle or looseness was left she
went through the same process with
the other leg.
"You see those little buttons. They
are tied into the tights. You can't
sew buttons on to spun silk, you know,
SO we put them underneath and tie
| them around on the right sides with
| taneS. the taDeS we tie round and
round our waist, and then tie them
tight. These buttons are S. gold
pieces. I get awfully stuck for a button
sometimes, so I tie in the gold pieces
for good luck, and when 1 get short up
for money l go through a lot of old
tights and I'm all right again"

All these mines carry gold, silver and
lead in combination, and many other
properties OF value. The gold and
silver-lead ores are easily treated but
where zinc, antimony arsenic, sulphur,
telurium and other refractory combina-
tions abound the work of reduction is
far more difficult and expensive. 1t IS
not the high-grade mine that is at all
times the most valuable. A large
body OF low-grade silver-lead
or gold are developed into a very yalua-
BILE mine, and often becomes a fountain
Of wealth to its proprietors. What IS

The Longest flight on Record.

On the 10Th day of last November,
Mike Freismuth, the well known pigeon
fancier OF this city, sent to Charleston,
this State, by Mr.. Emsheimer, pair Of
his famous carrier pigeons, an old one
and young one. The pair was released
there, and in about the expected length
OF time the young one appeared at his

The old one did notreturn, and nothing
was heard from him till yesterday after
noon, when he alighted beside his old

about the poorest fielding game ever

the home team which helped the leaders
considerably. Hill, who played first
base for Toledo, made six costly errors.
One hit and six errors gave Wheeling
their four runs in the fourth. The au-

loose work OF their club and were not at
all sorry when at the end OF the seventh
inning, darkness came down so thick
that the game had TO be called. The

Too Public n Rendezvous.

There was a funny incident, which
bordered narrowly on the sensational,
too, at the corner OF Fourteenth and
Main streets last evening. A man and
n woman, both unknown TO any OF the
interested spectators, met there about 0
O'Clock, evidently by appointment, as he
had waited for her some time. Their
behavior was Just beginning to attract
observation when another man, who I'M
observed by them had also been waiting
across Fourteenth street in the shadow,
approached, stopping rs he came to pick
up brick. The woman saw him first,
and with startled scream said to her
companion, "oh, run; there's the old
man." He did not wait TO see what the
"old man" wanted, but took her advice
and made lively time up Main street,
followed by the other man, while she
went down Main street with scarcely less
gnped.

Miss Marie Prescott and Mr.. R. D. Nc
Lean closed their engagement at the
Opera House last night in Shakespeare
GAS You Like It," with Miss Prescott as
ROsalind and Mr.. Mclean as Jagues. The
comedy was never so nicely done here
before. Miss Prescott has the requisite
youth, beauty, grace and viyacity for the
part, and her musical and well modulated
voice clothed the character with new
charms. Her costume as Gdnnymede
was neat and tasteful. Mr.. Mclean
pleased the moderate sized audience.
His keeping the middle Of the stage and
requiring the bdniShed Duke to deliver q
long and important speech in the second
act, with his back to the audience, shows
that his vanity dominates his artistic
sense. His delivery OF "the Seven Ages
OF Man" received more applause than
it deserved. The support was more than
satisfactory. There are in the company
several better actors than Mr.. Mclean,
though he gives promise OF Ia great career,
with stage training and instruction in
elocution.
Mr.. Mclean off the stage is Mr.. Shop
herd, the son OF prominent citizen Of
Shepherdstown, this State, who has
large interests in Louisiana plantations.
Mr.. Shepherd, jr., has been on the stage
but two seasons and part OF third,
and has never supported anybody but
Miss Prescott. He is said to be but
twenty-five years old, 80 that there is
reason to hope that he may yet adorn

A Turner'S Gathering in Chicago to Take
Action.
Col. Jake Nunge left last night for
Chicago rs delegate from the Wheeling
Turnbund to a National convention Of
Turner'S to be held in Chicago. Mr..
Fred Rodewig, OF Bellaire, will leave to-
day Us delegate from the society there,
and Steubenville will also send a dele
gate. The representation in the con-
vention bids fair to be full; and the
main business to be considered is pro-
posal to expel from the national body OF
Turner'S those societies, mainly in
Chicago, which have shown sympathy
with the executed Anarchists and their
fellow criminals, or fostered anarchistic
sentiments in their own ranks. The
Turner'S as IN organization are loyal
Americans and law abiding citizens and
they do not propose to hold fellowship
with societies tinctured with the muir
derous doctrines Of Parsons and Spies.
At least this is the view expressed by
the Turner'S in this part Of the country.
