The Much-Talked-Of Lady Dunl,

The Naturalization Lady DunIo
Lady Dunlo is a well-known figure
among the army of American men
who regularly visit London in the
spring. AS Belle Billion, she was
always as accessible as most of the
other music-hall women who lived at
the big hotels, and leunged at the
supper clubs which Americans fire.
quent. She was also very literally
advertised by the great sale which
her photographs had here three or
four years ago. She wore costumes
which were marvels Of dress-making
ingenuity, and which revealed more
of the wearer than the costumes Of
almost any of the other music-hall
divinities. Naturally, photographs
of Miss Billion thus attired caught
the exclusive taste of the cigarette
manufacturers, and the face and
figure of the daughter-in-law of Earl
of Clancarty were exhibited to mil
lions of people in this country. She
is robust, self.contained, blue-eyed
and plump woman, whose age might
be anywhere from thirty to thirty

for carrying the baggage of travellers

She admitted that it was sometimes

And she carried such an amount of

SLANOERING TEXAS.

THE Leavenworth Times makes
bad break in a recent article upon
Texas. Brother Anthony ought to
know better than to air his prejudices
at the expense of his intelligence in
the way that he does. Susan B.
should take that little borther of hers
over her lap and administer a re-
proof. Speaking Of the proposed
removal of some residents of Leaven-
worth to Texas, the Times gets off
the old chestnut about Phil. Sheridan
and hell and remarks.
Texas has it's advantages. Such
advices as we have lead us to believe
that the chief occupation in Gehenna
is MISUNDERSTANDING about in a
lake of fire and birthstone. There's
a good deal of monotony in that.
Not much chance for job.
There might be chance for a
deep harbor at some point along
the lake shore, but there is no de-
mand for the harbor. The job would
MT pay a lobby of one man for one
month. But Texas; ah, there are in
finite possibilities in Texas! There

TASHUA.

The anniversary of our Lords resur- rection, Easter Sunday, dawned bright and mild and even people who have kept much at home during the Winter could make an effort to get to church. The flo- .d decorations at Christ church were pretty. A little distance in front of the chaneel stood a luXuriant palm and, on each side, were potted plants. The rec tor was much pleased and expressed his gratitude to those who contributed the plants and arranged them so tastefully. It is hoped that there may be as large q congregation, every Sunday. It is en- couraging to Il pastor and every one would feel repaid for listening to the dis courses of Rev R. II. Bowles. Services next Sunday, Easton at 10 30 Il m, Fash ua at D m.

WESTPORT.

A stock company with capital of $lO0,000 will doubtless be organized to construct and maintain waterworks for Southport and Saugatuck, if the outlook Is favorable. There is not little enthu- siasm manifested on the subject and the necessary stock would, without doubt, ,,be quickly taken, for Westport has faith in the success of such an undertaking. It is devoutly to be hoped that this project will meet with better success than the Saugatuck valley scheme of "George D. Chapman and his associates" At last weeks meeting in National hall, John $. Jones, Rufus Wakeman and Charles Harris were appointed to raise $50 for preliminary expenses, while Horace Staples, T. R. Lees, M. W. Wilson, ". l.. Coley, o. l..

The cost of laying an eight-inch main would be about S5000 per mile and other expenditures would bring the total cost to $100,000 or more. Westport should have the waterworks and further progress will undoubtedly be made at the adjourned meeting, Tues day, 18th.
