B0UDOIR AND TOILET.

STEEL chatelaines with hangings galore are
| very fashionable. and will be worn the coming
| summer.
TOPAZ was once beloved of our grand
mothers, and we may now see it in very pretty
| new designs in more modern jewels.
VERY elegant and costly handles for sun
| shades are fashionable and some of them are
| as conspicuous as they are expensive.
A vINAIGRETTE of silver in form of a little
fiat flask is the fashionable trinket. 1t does
not improve the odor of the cologne, but it is q
pretty bauble.
BEAUTIFUL Mexican onyx is very much
| used for all sorts of ornamentation particu-
larly for the tops OF sunshades. where it is seen
in large, spherical forms.
THE much bedecked sunshades carry the
day. Plain ones are only for travelling or
simplest use. Among the nstable fancy models
is that of Roman silk, which makes a very gay
effect.
THE pointed girdle is still a part of the
fashionable mode. and the narrow ribbon sash
and belt make the finish, which is almost the
entire trimming OF many gowns for spring and
for summer wear.
COLORADO rhine stones are among the new
Jewels of semi-value and very pretty effects are
produced in these artificial gems. There are
several gems which can be very well counter
feited in these rhine stones.
THE bodice must be fastened in some other
style than that which has been the customary
mode, Diagonal modes are considered most
chic. Under the arm and upon the shoulder it
is sometimes thought well to catch the two
parts together with clasp. which is newer
contrivance than the diagonal fastening.
THE gay and lovely ginghams which are to
make their appearance on the first of the fine
days will be a Joy with their flower designs that
will delight the heart of an artist in color

There is an abundance of limestone in
Clarion county. Three streaks of it under
lay the county, and the veins are from four
to "a feet in thickness. The western streak
IS the best. 1t runs through East and West
Riceland, Salem, Beaver, Ashland, Elk,
Pennington and Washington townships.
The eastern vein penetrates Porter, Red
bank, Limestone and Clarion townships.
Not Easily Accessible.
But the great bulk of this limestone is
hard to get at. Its out groupings are only
in pots, and it is only here and there that
the lodges lie close enough to the surface of
the earth to be quarried with ease. In
Richland township it lies close to the top,
and is secured without much laber. In
Monroe township it is found only foot
deep, and in Limestone township the vein is
thickest and most convenient In all the
rest of the county the "strippings" that
must be made to get at tie stone are more or
less heavy. That is to say, from one to
eight feet of earth must be removed before
you can get at the limestone.
In many places it is sort OF shell stone,
quarried without any extra exertion, but
limestone usually is so hard that blasting
has to be resorted to in the quarries. This
would have to be done at the Clarion quar-
ries if large amounts of the stone were to be
taken out.
Great Opportunity Neglected.
The limestone in Clarion county is practi-
cally inexhaustible. Her quarries could
supply large portion of Pennsylvania with
enough to macadamize roadways in all di-
rectlons, and money would quarry it, no
matter how hard or how much stripping
would be required. But, strange to say,

daughters of Senators and Congressman are
frequently the Slost heartless hirts at the
capital. But the Washington girl has to
make her market here or at the summer re-
sorts, where she finds strong competition
from many other cities, or at the Western
military posts. where, of course, it is hard to
get invitations and impossible to STAY long.
She, therefore. according to the testimony of
these youthful experts, attends right to bus
iness, and wastes no time in trying to en-
snare superfuous hearts.

THE BOYS ARE INDEPENDENT.
"Do the young men of Washington appre-
ciate the advantage of their position?" 1
asked.
"Indeed they do; and they treat us shame
fully" she answered "They make us do
all sorts of unpleasant things. Why, only
last week asked young man il he ever
went to the theater and he answered that he
did when he was asked. The mean old
thing actually made me ask him to 60 with
me. They do all sorts of things like that" !"
"And you have to submit?"
"Of course, or we should never have any
fun at ALL"
"Do brains and accom- plishments help
young men in society here?"
"Yes, indeed. A gentleman who is good
company always stands well in society But
he isn't much sought for in the matrimonial
way
s'He must have money!" asked.
"Money or rank. Money for the poor
girls and rank for the rich.''
And does love stand no chance?"
"Oh, suppose girl can love a member
of the diplomatic corps, or an officer, or a
millionaire as we'll as anybody else."
"But if she does love somebody else?"
"But she doesn't; she won't let herself"

"How many of the 152 young ladies in

81 don't know any that think any other

A glimpse of the other side of the situa-
ton may be interesting, possibly instruct
i've. I spent an evening at a young mems
club not long ago. Girls were the subject
of much OF the conversation among the
young fellows. One of them, an acknowl-
edged beau, was asked by chummie if he
was going up to Mr.. x that night.
"No, Stree" said he and made a peculiar
gesture, holding out his arm and letting his
hand fall limp, as if he had no strength in
his wrist. asked what all this pantomime
signified.
"Wrist Drop" was told. and then was
informed that "wrist drop" is a technical
term for lead poisoning, which demonstrates
itself in weakness Of the wrist joints.

American History Loses the Preacher of
Daniel Webster's Funeral Sermon.
JACKSONVILLE, ILL, May 1. - Rev.
William Barnes, who preached the funeral
sermon of Daniel Webster, died in this city
this morning. He was one of the most
noted Presbyterian divines of the country.
Mr.. Barnes was born in Ohio in 1916, was
Yale graduate in the same class that num-
bered among its members Charles Sumner
and Edward Everett. He was pastor of a
church in Boston when Webster died, and
was chosen as officiating clergyman. Dur
ing the last 50 years he has lived in the
West, most of the time in Jacksonville. He
was life director of the American Bible
Society and also of the American Board of
Home and Foreign Missions.

BIER CUD OF DEADLY CHEWING GUM.
Maggie O'NeaI Has a Little Lively Fun With
Police Officials.


Police Officials.
Maggie O'Neal, an athletic woman we'll
known in police circles, was locked up in the
Central station yesterday on a charge of
vagrancy. After being placed in cell she
told Matron Brennan she was going to poison
herself, and exhibited a substance she held
in her hand. The matron attempted to take
the poison away, but the prisoner was too
strong for her, and Sergeants Myers and
Larimore and Janitor Williamson, were
called in to help.
The combined forces made a vigorous at
tack upon Maggie, but she was too much for
them, and Assistant Superintendent O'Mara
took hand. He finally succeeded in un-
clenching Maggie's fingers, and secured
wad of chewing gum. Mrs. O'Neal smiled,
and calmly walked back into her cell.

ample, the young man who comes here a
stranger and manages to make the acquaint-
ance of one young lady is pretty sure to
wonder why she never introduces him to any
other. If he meets her at reception
she will chat with him as much as he
pleases, but he will wait and hint in vain
for her to present him to any other young
lady. If he meet her with any number OF
companions on the street, she will stop and
talk with him, and seem to find keen pleas
ure in letting her companions stand around
and envy her, while they wish in vain for
the introduction that never comes. So long
as a Young woman can enjoy exclusively
the acquaintance of q young man-any
young man of "respectability is an
object of the envy of her less fortunate sis
ters. If the young man be good "catch"
that is to say, If he have either rank or
money-the young woman who can keep
him for her own, even for few weeks, is
the empress of the situation for the time.
THE SUPPRESSED DEBUTANTEs.
The shortage Of single men in society ex-
plains also why there are so many school
glrlish-looking young women here who long
ago were graduated from the schools. These
are the suppressed debutantes. One may
see them almost any day dressed in their
short, girlish gowns with their hair hanging
in braids down their backs. Sometimes
they carry books, often they are accom-
panied by big dogs. They are old enough
to be in society, and they would have been
in it long ago had they not been suppressed
because their elder sisters have not yet been
taken from the matrimonial market.

exception will be made of persons who have

The portion of the city materially affected
by this ruling are the East End and Oak
