An Incident on n Stage That Surprised
the Giggiing Bellies

'ne otESiiHs
In Fifth avenue stage an old
and meauly-dressed woman uncon-
sciously made the ride merry for
three snowy and fashionably attired
damsels. First, she fumbled in her
rusty skirt long time trying to find
her pocket; then she thrust her hand
through an unexpected slit in her
gown instead of the supposed pocket,
and the look of intense dismay on
her face, rs she imagined some vii
lain had cut of that pocket, sent the
young women into commissions oi
silent laughter. Soon the poor Great
ure recovered herself, renewed the
search and found the pocket.

solitary nickel it contained. Then
she peepcd about for the proper
place to deposit the nickel. None
seemed to have been provided. The
honest creature got on her feet, and
the thimble, the troche, the twist,
and the snufi-box tumblcd to the
floor, the pins sticking, like an old
friend, to her skirt. Needless, ap-
parently, of this disaster, she pot
tered about the wall behind her seat,
pressing her trembling fingers
against every nail and button and
bit of fridge, but found no place for
her fare. Then she dropped to her
seat with loud complaints:
"There amt no contribution box
nor nothin' for the farc,n she said.
"Where ] come from there's alters

The merrlment of the three dam
sells was now almost beyond control,
though they affected well-bred airs
by covering their mouths with
dainty handkerchiefs and looking
out OF the window. A slight young
girl, simply attired, but with an air
of elegance about her, had been sit

Unhappy Without Love.


i am curious to know whether a
woman into whose life love has
never entered can ever have been
what / should call happy, says u
writer In the Ladies' Home Journal.
l do not think so. She may have
found the quiet garden ofwhich con-
tent keeps the keys. She may be
reconclled to her fate, and console
herself by thinking how much bet
ter of she is than if she were unhap-
PLY married; but such dull rcsigna-
tion is not even first &C usin to the
rapture of Joy. 1 am old-fashioned,
perhaps, In my ideas, but honestly
think that real happiness comes to u
woman only hand in hand with
love.
When she begins to feel that, with
one man in it, the room is full, and
empty when he Is gone, no matter
how many remain. she begins to he
trenulously, deliciously, deliriously
happy. But that IL only the begin
ming, and If love holds happiness by
the hand, fear stands at the other
elbow. A word too many ortoo few
"a smile that does not 60
her way-and the girl suffers
us much as she has just
enjoyed. Her very soul hungers
within her for some dear certainty.
And when that comes-when her
troth is plighted-is that her hap
piest moment? She does not think
so then, tor she is looking forward
to her bridal morning.
The day of days comes at last, and
the new life begins. Is that, then.
the happiest moment? Hardly, for
the very most loving people who
ever lived are not quite one, to begin
with, and they must learn to live
together. A year-a year of mutual
forbearaiice; of getting well ac-
quainted-a happy year, and now
they look into each others face fear
lessly. They are one at last, and
for all time.
Surely that Is the happiest mo-
ment. ! had made up my mind to
say so, but is II?
All, but I think after all, the hap
piest moment Is when love is "a
sweet, shy newcomer, and hope
leads 1t by the hand.

Waists and Intellect.
"The smaller a woman's waist
the greater her intellect says, in
effect, the eminent consulting sur
geon of an English hospital, Mr.
Mum. Commenting on this, the
Boston Transcript says: "Mr
Mum argues that as the necessity
for hard exertion and excessive
manual labor has been removed by
advancing culture, the muscles o
women have become smaller and
flexible. Hence talent has been es
pecially favored in this direction
and Is producing race of graceful
women, whose hereditary influences
are decidedly intellectual. Professor
Virchow, with hard Teut0nic di
rectness, says, on the contrary,
that from a woman's liver 1t would
be impossible to decide to what
period of fashion she belonged, and
1t has never apparently entered his
powerful scientific mind that the lit
tie liver Indicates the great cerebrum.
That was reserved for Mr.. Num-,
who sees all about him In England
girls with extremely slender waists,
Many of these women, themselves
comparing their figures with those
of more shapely French women OF
Americans, say that they wish their
mothers, and grandmothers, and
great-grandmothers had adhered
with less devotion to the stiff, board.
like stays 1t is those which have
given the modern English women
their too large hips and too small
waists" This assumption of the
small waist and the great intellect
going together seeTs to us absurd.
The smaller the waist the smaller
the abdominal viscera; the smaller
the abdominal viscera the less per-
feet is nutrition; and the blood,
which Is made from the food supply
by insufficient abdominal viscera,
will be lacking in red corpuscles;
the blood directly feeds the brain
and the brain is certainly the seat of
intellect. Hence we fail to follow
the reasoning of Mr.. Mum, the
eminent English consulting sur
geon.

Dainty Underwear.

In the trousseau of fair Parisien-
ne, fully described in a recent issue
of u leading French journal, there
was no linen I'm the category. Every
thing was silk or wool. Can you
imagine anything moro dainty or
delicate than u white crepe de chine
underskirt with an applique of point
lace on the bottom, and above that
an embroidered garland of orange
blossoms running around it? Un-
derskirts of all colors were there,
garnitured with Mechlin lace, old
guipure, black chenille, etc. And
one, too, for outdoor parties in buck
skin, embroidered In russo
In red and blue silk and gold

seline de sole, figured with little
pompad0ur bouquets. For devo-
tional occasions there was u change
able gray, and also black and pur-
pie underskirt. These are for wear
when attending religious services.
There are also undergarments for

A CLOSE CALL.
The Family of President Harrison Have
Narrow Escape.


a dispatch of the 18th from Cape
May, n. j., says: Mrs. Harrison had a
narrow escape from severe injury last
evening, when riding through Washing
ton Street AS the Presidential car
riage, which contained Mrs Harrison,
Mrs. Mckee and Baby Mckee, was
passing Washington and Decatur
Streets, a lad in dog cart whipped up
his horse and attempted to pass the Har-
rison carriage. In his excitement the
boy lost control of the horse, which gave
sudden lurch and struck an electric
light pole. The now thoroughly fright
ened animal dashed up the street at a
full gallop. The boy tugged at the lines
manfully, but without avail. AS Mrs.
Harrison's carriage approached Decatur
Street the runaway horse dashed ahead
madly and barely missed overturning
the White House family in the crowded
avenue. Passing the Harrison vehicle,
the frenzied animal plunged up
on the pavement in front of Ken
nedy's pharmacy, breaking an iron
awning post and demolishing the glass
of big show window The conclusion
threw the horse to the ground where it
lay kicking and bleeding At the sight
of blood Mrs. Mckee tainted and there
was then general rush of pedestrians
to give her assistance. Before service
was proffered, however, Mrs. Mckee
rallied and the careful White House
coachman had whipped up his horses
and turned their heads toward the cot
tage at the point

At twenty minutes past o'clock on
the evening of the 18th, a most disas-
trous collision occurred about mile be-
low the city of Detroit, exactly opposite
the exposition building, between the
big steel, sidewheel passenger steamer
City of Detroit, and the screw freighter
Kasota, of Cleveland. ore laden, from
Lake Superior to Cleveland. The City
of Detroit was returning from Putin
Bay with 800 excursionists on board.
As the boats approached, each gave
one whistle, and everything seemed
perfectly safe, but when less than two
lengths apart the City OF Detroit was
noticed to begin to sheer to port, at the
same time giving several quick, short
blasts of her whistle. The captain of
the Kasota, comprehending that some
thing was wrong and the danger immi
nent, Immediately ordered his wheel
hard aport, but before she could
answer the wheel the big side
wheeler was upon her. The Kasota
was struck abreast of the main mast,
and before the City of Detroit's head
way was stopped her bow was nearly to
the Kasota's smokestack. In less than
a minute and half the Kasota was on
the bottom, the confined air bursting
her cabins off as she went down. Her
spars were broken off and her pilot
house knocked over, probably from con-
tact with the steamers guards
The second cook of the Kasota, Mrs
Stickney, shipped in Chicago, was
drowned. She was endeavorlng with
others to get,on top of the after cabin
but was drawn under. Others of the
crew had exceedingly narrow escapes.
The explanation of the disaster is stated
10 hn soy, Of Tho (Ttu Of Do
troit's steam steerer iust at that critical
instant. If the arrangement of the
machinery had, however, occurred
few seconds sooner, SO that the City
of Detroit would have gotten across the
Kasota's bows and received that boats
blow, the result would have been some
thing frightful. A large portion of the
eXcurSlOnlSts were women and children
and the panic on board for few min
utes was terrible. When it was seen
that the steamer was resting quietly on
the Kasota quiet was restored.
Just before dark steamers were sent
down to bring up the excursionists,
The Kasotas machinery may be recov
cred, but her bull will probably be to-
tai loss. She is exactly in the middle of
the river, and in nearly forty feet of
water. The Kasota was one of the fin
est ore carriers, although not of the
largest class, on the lakes. She
was built in Cleveland in 1884,

Webb q Co., of Cleveland, and is valued
at 100000 At the time of the collision
she had the schooner Thomas P. Shell
don in tow, which let go her tow line
and passed the wreck safely and came to
anchor a mile below.
Later the passengers were removed
by two steamers sent down from De-
troit. This, however, was merely pre-
cautionary, as she followed them into
her dock. Her damage to hull is placed
at $4,000, and she will be ON dry dock
for three weeks.

NO CLAIM TO THE PROPERTY.
The Suit of Frederick Prentice for ST.
600, 900 Again Unsuccessful.

600, 900 Again Unsuccessful.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 15.-The at
tempt Of Frederick Prentice, of New
York, to obtain land in The center Of
Duluth valued at 81 900 900 is again I'M
successful, Judges Nelson and Miller to-
day rendering decision in favor of the
defendants-the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company, the Duluth Street Rail-
way Company and others. The case OF
Mr.. Prentice rested entirely on the
proposition that the deed of B. ?. Arm
strong and wife to him September II,
1856, is a valid, legal and absolute con-
veyance of any and all lands that Arm
strong was entitled to under the govern
ment treaty with Chief Buffalo in 1854,
who was by the terms of said treaty to
make and designate selection of tract
of land mile square; that this land
was conveyed to Prentice by a deed
which describes the tract of land as
beginning at large rock at the head Of
st. LouisBay.
The court finds substantially that the
land described in the deed from Arm
strong to Prentice is not the same land
as that described in the patent from
the United States TO Armstrong. The
court also finds that Chief Buffalo in
tended to select land above and adjoin-
ing Minnesota Point, but that he never
made any definite selection other than
the written paper signed by him at the
date of the treaty, but that when the
government and appointees came to Sc
lect and define the land it was found
that an Indian trader by the name of
Nettleton had settled upon part of it.
