the bear reached the mex yard, but the

AN BADGE.
A Present to Chief warlaumont From
the Hooks.

l.. W Warlaumont, chief of the Chey-
enue fire department. has been a mem
Der of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder
company fourteen years and for two
terms its foreman. He has always been
popular with city fremen, but the Hooks
think there is no one like Lew. who is an
excellent fireman and a thorough good
fellow besides.
A short rime ago some of the Hook
boys suggested that the company make
Mr.. Warlaumont a present as a mark of
regard and esteem. This was acted upon
without delay and last evening came the
consumrnation OF an idea conceived in
friendship and appreciation of worth.
Judge w. l.. Kuykendall, a pioueer
among Pioneers, frat addressed his re
marks to Foreman Nolan and the mem
bers occupying the splendid pailor 10 the
Hook house. He said that there WIS a
comrade for whom all had the kinuliest
feeling and the hearliest admiration and
that they had determined to show their
friendship in a substsn tial manner and at
the same time reward one who always
tried to do more than his duty. He then
advanced to Chief Wsrlaumont's chair
and placed in that gentleman's hand a
magnificent gold and silver badge.
Mr.. Warlaumont was all but overcome
and could only reply that he tried to do
the right thing aud would continue in
this line. 1t was a genuine surprise as
engineered by Harry Blake and a few
others
The badge is of artistic design and the
the finest workmanship. From the claws
of a silver eagle are in gold pendants min
iatures of frefighting Implements. 1t was
made by Zehner, Buechner & Co.
A supper followed the present alton.

There is a large line of fall goods of
various grades in dragons blood color.
Silks of heavy and light texture are also
made of it, and will be much worn by
young ladies with tulle trimmings or
overdresses for evening. There are cash
meres and fine ladies' cloths also in that
color. One shade of the new foulard is
of a pale pinkish lilac called "sti-
fled sighs," and on it are pale pink flow
ers with faint green leaves. 1t is ex-
quisitely soft and pretty, and makes
dainty evening dresses for young girls
and even old ladies, for such delicate
colors can be worn by any one, if the
style of making be not too Juvenile.
Nothing looks SO utterly ridiculous as to
see an elderly woman wearing young
girls styles.-Olive Harper.

There has just been issued from the

A bit of wire vas introduced into our
conversation at the club. 1t was a silent,
uncommunicative bit of copper about a
sixteenth of an inch thick and four
inches long. Most any hardware mer-
chant would give you a similar bit of
wire, because its value would be 80 little
he could not reckon a price for it. But
this particular piece, Mr.. Vail (whose
father co-operated with Morse in invent
ing the telegraph) carries in his pocket
book as carefully as if it were gold,
many times more weighty. 1t is n
passive, plant substance-an inanimate
bit of copper, but it gave the first cleo
trio thrill that has brought the inhabit-
ants of the world close together, con.
quered time, and annihilated distance.
1t is a bit of the first three miles of wire
ever used for te~legraphy. 1t is a piece
from the experimental line constructed
by Morse and Vail, ST., when they were
testing their inventions. Only a little of
this wire, Mr.. Vail, Jr., informed me,
has been preserved. After it was taken
down from the experimental line. his
father used part of it as a trellis for vines
on his front porch. Part of it may have
oeen useu III Inc CONSTRUCTION OF tne line

If so it was lost track of. 1t was from

raphy became a wonder of the world
we began to appreciate the value Of such
a memento, and we saved what we could

been especially interested in it, and some

A curious accident, which ~unhappily

covering over the glass. AS the woman
was arranging this awning she slipped
and, falling through the glass. alighted
on the table at which her master was
seated. Oddly enough she sustained no
injury worth mentioning. NJ Boutet,

of the broken glass struck him on the

A correspondent in Paris sends me an
interesting account of Lieut.. Assayeff's
ride from Lubni, in Poltava, to the Paris
exposition. lie is only 25 years old
When lie determined to go to Paris no
followed the Car Nicholas method of
laying out a route, with a difference.
He did not use a ruler, he DOL a thread,
and stretching it across the map from
Lubni to Paris, marked of his route in
a straight line. Then he started on
horseback alone. Lieut.. Assayeff rode
one horse and led another, on the Turco
man system, riding each horse on alter
nate days. One steed was half English
and half Don Cossack, the other pure
Russian breed. He rode on an average
u little over fifty miles a day, and Gov
cred the whole distance in thirty days.
The cost of riding across Europe with a
couple of saddle horses was only e3O. or
about twenty shillinEs a day. If it can
be done as cheap as this, equestrian tours
will become common.-PaT1 Mall Gazette.
