After the Poachors.

A Port Townsend dispatch OF the
18th inst. says that it has been ascer-
tanned, in spite of the denials of her
owners and Secretary Spaulding, of
the Treasury Department., the steam
schooner Bertha has been chartered
by the government, and is now on her
way to Ounalaska, to intercept the
sealing schooners supposed to be there.
The revenue cutter Oliver Walcott left
that place early Thursday morning of
last week, and proceeded to Port Ange-
les, where she laid Saturday night until
about half past 8 o'clock, when the
Bertha, which had left San Francisco
the previous Tuesday, dropped slong-
side the cutter. The two months store
CT supplies and the cutters guns were
then transferred to the Bertha, which
Capt, Glover at once took charge of.
according to orders from Washington,
while Lieutenant Wiley brought the
Wolcott back to Port Townsend. Lieu
tenant Benham, of San Francisco. is
also on board the Bertha. She took
out clearance papers for Kodiak, but
will not go there at all. She sails d.
rect to Ounalaska, and will cruise at
once in Behring Sea, where the British
schooners Triumph and Adele are sup
posed to he. Capt. Glover has instruc
lions to seize all poachers," and to
tow them either to Sitka or Port Town
send, it is not known which.

THAT monopolists' friend and Re-
publican idol, Chauncey NJ. Depew, in
arecent honeyed address to the farmers,
advised them to adopt as the motto of
their organizations the three Rs, "Reci-
procity, Retaliation and Revenue. !"
That level-headed, brainey Democrat,
David B. Hill, in an address, also to
farmers, said truly that Mr.. Depew
would have aroused much greater en-
thusiasm among the farmers, besides
giving them a much needed practical
relief, by telling that his railroad had
also adopted three Rs" Regular Re-
duced Rates" for the transportation of
their products-for its motto, One

THE Republican Senate SO loved the
workingmcn of the country that it re-
fused to pass the bills endorsed by Or
ganized labor. Speaker Reed probably
knew that such would be the case when
he allowed the bills to 60 through the
House. In fact there is no reason to
believe that a bargain was not made by
which the Republicans of the House
could ask for the votes Of the working
men on the ground of having passed
their bills. knowing the Republicans
of the Senate would prevent the bills
ever becoming laws.

The Box Didn't Make Change.

It would be supposed that by this
time nearly every man, woman and
child i'll this city would know enough
about the money boxes in street cars
to enable them to put their fare in the
box. Especially in this case when
there is large sign staring the pas
senger in the face to put 1.-The exact
fare in the box"
The other day lady, nicely dress
ed, boarded a short line Birmingham
car at the corner of Carson and Tenth
streets, to ride to the city. She flash
ed out of her pocket, which was con-
cealed where no man could ever find it:
beautiful little purse, and extracting
q dime, she refused the proffered aid of
a fellow passenger to put her fare in
the box. She walked to the forward
end of the car and dropped the dime
into the opening of the box. Then she
stood there with an expectant look on
her face and one hand on the top of the
box. Whether she expected the box
would open and hand out a nickel in
change in about the same manner as
practiced by a cabinet speak easy"
the other passengers could only guess.
The driver told her she would have to
stand the loss of the nickel unless the
car took on another passenger.
At the Pittsburg end of the bridge
another passenger got on. He wore
light blonde mustache and self-satisfed
air of MASKING" anything in sight, as
he tripped past the young lady. AS
he asked the driver for two nickels in
EXCHANGE for a. dime. the mule n17ncher
told him of the young lady's predica-
ment OF course, he was only too glad
to pay her back the five cents and
smiled sweetly as he handed over that
amount. With a "you-bet-I m-in-it'
expression, he turned around and drop
ped the other nickel in the box. Then
he discovered that he was out nickel,
and the smiles of the passengers made
him go out and commune with himself.
The individual who enjoyed the joke
the most was the young lady who
caused his misfortune. Pittsb1tTg Dis

dance the Quadrille Pose. We find no

broidery, sparkling with jewelry, covered
with costly lace, stiff with jet or passe-

dress of one material, waists made plain,
draped, or trimmed with rufdes of the
same stuff, or cut la VERGE, moderately
decollete, either sleeveless or with the
old-fashioned pulled sleeve ending at the
elbow-in a word, very good limitations

the long gloves, dainty slippers, and large
fans slung at the waist Tulles, mulls,

ordinary Lanciers, fills the place of the

which the faneurs, idlers, and lockers
on in general gather to enjoy, criticise,
and applaud.
The danes should take care that each
dress in the same set is different, and the
harmony of the figures should not be dis
turbed by the presence of one lady in a
watered silk, brocade or pattern dress.

Longe Pointe, [Que. dispatch: A fire
in the insane asylum here was attended
with the most frightful consequences.
The buildings were filled with patients,
many of whom lost their lives, as the
fremen were powerless to subdue the

an exact estimate of the number of
fatalities, but the number is placed as
high as 100.
There were about ninety patients in
small cells, many of them raving man.
iacs, some in chains and letters, and
they had no means of escape.
The fire was discovered by J: A. Nc
Kenna of Burlington, who had just en-
tered the asylum for treatment for loss
of memory. He was sitting in his room
after being examined when he felt the
plaster on the wall growing warm. He
sprang to his feet and ran out shouting

being nearly smothered with smoke
gained the door. He was accompanied
by ]. j. Enright of Burlington. Nc
Kenna is quite rational, but greatly ter
rifed. He lost all his effects and has
telegraphed to friends in the United
States OF MS cOnQltlOn.
The scene of anguish that ensued
when the magnitude of the disaster was
realized was almost without parallel.
There were ], 300 inmates in the build
ing, many of them bed-ridden. AS fast
as possible they were rushed to the
western wing. hurried down stairs and
out upon the grounds. There upon the
wet grass some of them huddled to-

while others wandered through the
grounds with faces untouched by the
horror of the scene.
More than 1000 helpless creatures
were gathered together within the in
closure of the grounds, guarded only by
the man at the gate. One young girl in
the midst of the drizzling rain, thinlY
clad, sat at piano on the grounds and
played soft music, while the terrible
flames roared above her. Those who
saw the spectacle will never forget it.
In reply to the question, how many
lines were lost: 81 don't know" one
fireman said, ST saw, dozens struggling
against those BARS" pointing to the top
windows in the rear of the central
building. ''TheY were blackened and
shrieking. No help could reach them
and they fell back into the flames"

women clinging to the windows" said
Fireman Laporte, "but nothing could be
done. How many persisted no one
knows. Dozens, / am sure tried to
rescue two women, but could not reach

flames. 1t is rumored that seven nuns
connected with the institution were
burned to death.
On calling oyer the roll it was found
that nearly 300 patients were missing,
but it is expected that q large proper
tion of these will be found eventually.
The surgeon of the asylum says that
certainly fifty patients are dead, and
the sisters admit that the death-roll may
run beyond 100. The financial loss
reaches 81, 100000.

Candies

Ava had a party one afternoon. Six
little girls brought their dollies and
stayed to tea, and everything passed
off beautifully, except that one of the
little china cups got broken; but it was
only an accident, and nobody minded
it after the first minute.
When the little girls had gone, Ava
drew her cricket up to grandmas feet,
holding her big wax dolly in her arms.
"Did you ever have such nice times
when you were little, grammar"
Maybe not just the same" grandma
answered, smiling. Il didn't have any
wax dolly, with trunkful of clothes,
that's sure. Ny dolly was made Of
cloth, and her face was marked with
charcoal, and she had ravelled-yarn
hair. But I suppose I had some good
times that you don't have, dear, when [

kerosene oil to burn then, and mother
dipped candles two or three times a
year. [ used to look forward to it just
as you Go -tea-parties, [ guess"
"Oh" said Ava. "How did she dip
'em, grammar"
Grandma laughed again. well, !"
said she, "she cut pieces of wicking
twice as long as she wanted the candles
to be, and doubled and twisted them,
and hung them on short, smooth sticks,
a dozen on a stick. Then she melted
big potful of tallow and dipped the
wicks in it, one stick at time. And
when she had dipped the last stickful
she began again at the first, laying
them across two long poles to cool and
drip. But there was always one stick
that I liked better than all the rest,
because the candles on it were not more
than half as long as the Others"
"O-oh, little onesi" cried Ava 90,
gramma, wasn't that just as cunning 2"
II thought so" said grandma. Il
used to think they gave brighter
light than the big ones, too. For a
candle-stick I had big potato with
one end cut off so it would stand, and
hoe in the other end to put the can
die in"
ooh, I wish I'd been a little girl
when you were, grammar" cried AVA.
But then [ couldn't, could I? because
you'd have to be my gramma first, and
then you'd be old, wouldn't you? ?"
Il think I would" laughed grandma.

movements called for SO little exertion,
and they seemed admirably fitted for hot
weather parties. The most dignified and
starchy dude might take part in such
dance without any danger of whiting the
tight, stiff band of Immaculate linen en-
circling his neck. But for some reason or
other neither the Pavane nor the Minuet
became very popular. They were voted
~deucedly slow, you know" This was
several years ago, and now Queen Fash
ion comes forward with another novelty
in the dance line. It has a number of
names, running from grave to gay, from
lively to severe. For instance, you may
call it Quadrille Pose or Posture Dance,
or, if these names don't suit, you may
speak of it as the Spanish Jig; or, if you
want to be very funny, you may even dub
it the "MoIasses Reel, it goes s awfully
slowly.
The Quadrille Pose, figures of which are
represented in the accompanying pict-
ures, is said to have been dance in
vogue among the peasants of Brittany in
the sixteenth century. There are eight fig
ures altogether, and danes and cavaliers
keep we'll apart, barely joining the tips of
the fingers These figures are not diff
cult to learn, consisting of forwards and

couple are needed to dance the Quadrille

both beaus and bellies an opportunity to

In order to give to the Spanish Jig" a
good send-of and brace the boys up to
the point of consenting to exhibiting
their legs, the hunt clubs of New York,
at whose dancing parties the gentlemen
appear in small clothes and silk stock
ings, have taken up this beautiful nov
city, and it will be danced at their hops
IN connection with the summer meets.
The only obstacle in the way of its
becoming an instantaneous success is
the demand which it makes upon the
cavaliers to display their calves. This is
a delicate point with the youth of to-
day. Calves aren't what they used to be.
Horse-cars and elevators have dwindled

A few rehearsals and the various figures
would be executed with that ease and GER

Already instruction in the dance has
begun in the very fashionable academies
of Terpsichore, and the earliest gatherings
at the several country clubs will witness
the first semi-public exhibition. 1t is
