hundred, undertook to drive young
COW through this town yesterday alter
noon. The animal became unmanRgea-
BILE and threw the old man down and
made her escape. She was captured in
front OF the III. e. Church and tied to Q
post. A crowd of would be cowboys col-
lected. and each was willing to under
take the job OF driving the ssittish
creature. With low bawl the COW cir-
oIed around the post, scattering the crowd
rather professionally. II took some
time, with the use OF garden rake to get
the animal united. As soon as rope was
siackened tae new thoroughly msddened
COW made bow TO the sidewalk, and
there was q hasty scatteration OF the
supposed cowboys. In the tussle that
ensued-a mort of tug-of war affair, the
COW at one end of the rope aud several
men at the other-one man, Constable
Muilin, was knocked down and the COW
landed on his body. He was slightly
hurt ard his clothing torn. At this point
Jeweler Parrish seizsd the animal by the
horns and exerting his full strength held
the COW until she was conquered. A
council was held and 1t was decided to
allow tina COW to depart. The excitement
ran high for time.
A fair and festival will be held at Head

The Rev. James o. Kerr, rector OF

service on Sunday evening in tho psrlors

inward struggles with their consciences
in choosing between worship and prom

their devotees, however.
Much complaint is heard Of the late
arrival of the trains on Saturday even
| iugs. Through the week they are COM
| paratively regular, but on these evenings
the and rs O'Clock trains are invari-
ably late, anyway, from 30 minutes to an
hour. In consequence the new arrival
of the female sex does not complete her
toilet until it is almost too late to enjoy
the regular Saturday evening hops at
either hotel.
Rehoboth has many eyesores OF an
| architectural sort, but the latest aud the
worst is the pseudo excursion house, :"
crested on Surf avenue, Just south OF the
Hotel Henlopsn. Tbs shed is about
100z30 feet and is constructed Of the old
boards used during the encampment OF
the militia in 1887. 1t reminds one more
of o large cow.shed than anything else,
no effort whatever being made towards
making it attractive in appearance. 1t is
a dismal failure as an excursion house,
/ and seemingly its only rsison d'etre is
the annoyance which it causes the owners
and guests OF the Hotel Henlopen by its
proximity and unsightliness. 1t is o
nuisance which should be abolished Of
| once.

THE MATINEE GIRL.
Dainty Snnggeries for Her Money and Opera
Glasses

Dainty Snuggeries for Her Money and Opera
Glasses.
Where do you suppose the matinee girl
carries her money? asks the Philadelphia
Times, and answers its own question as
| follows: She is tired of being told that
the pretty silver-ciasped pocket book
may be snatched from her hand, and she
is beginning to take with avidity to the
newest thing in cash-holdeFs, which is a
soft oOZe leather bracelet, rather decora-
tive than otherwise, which has re-
| eeptacle for change just where the watch
rested a month or two ago on the back of
the wrist. The bracelet is worn on the
left arm. 1t has a simple clasp, easily
manipulated, and when car-fare or bon
bon money Is wanted there it is close by
perfectly safe, and leaving the hands
free for other small burdens.
Another contriYance which greatly
simplifes life for the matinee girl is a
small plush bag which looks large enough
to hold her opera glass Bat wait until
she opens it. There is the glass with its
gold and pearl mountings safe enough.
There is also a tiny compartment for the
silver bOn-bon box, another for the
purse another for the silver and crystal
vinaigrette, another for ivory tablets,
yet another for the lace handkerchief,
and sometimes still others for rose
waters or powder puffs. 1t is multum in
parvo, most of the luxures of life
in compact form. The matinee girl
would not like to stir without it, little as
it is, with it she is fully armed for the
social fray.
The wrought iron tea kettle tripod has
no sooner found its way TO the parlors of

longer is the mode. The correct kettle

which stands on the table instead of the
