Mrs. Ballington Booth, of the Salvation
Army, is a woman of whom it may be
said as truly as of Mrs. Leslie that she
attends to her gowns. 1t would not
seem that the army costume offered
much chance for elaboration, but her
uniform of dark blue skirt and plated
waist is perfectly fitting and of fine,
rich material, finished at the throat and
sleeves with n white silk cord and en-
broidered on the belt with a sacred
motto.
Her large poke bonnet is of fine black
straw, trimmed with folds of navy blue
satin, the scarlet ribbon badge inter
woven about the crown 1t is tied at
the chin with a big soft bow of broad
ribbons An American flag of fine silk
forms a regalia sash, and a plain we'd
ding ring CLEANS on one small hand.

wife, has a sweet, smooth face, with

1t is now definitely known that the first
half of the year that has Jus. closed has
been one of unusual prosperity for the
railroads in general. The earnings have
increased at a rate which insu-ss by far
the largest total ever known. Particularly
is this true of the Western lines. Their
net earnings will prove greater than for
an equal period in any previous year.
Notwithstanding the fierce passenger
and freight wars. and the disastrous re-
suits of floods during the past six months
the Western lines are in splendid condi-
ton.
The gain of the Burlington has been
81, 500, 900 gross receipts aud 81. 000, 900

LIE GRADUATES.

Fresh, biushing flowers OF modern learning,
They bowed on the bemusllned stage.
And aired their various views concerning
The woman OF the glacial age;
The rise and fall OF ancient Rome; or
The late Carlyle the will he had;
The personality of Homer,
Whether he wrote the niad,
Or some ingiorious nameless bard did;
Some asked II BeIlamy's grand schemes
Should be accepted or discarded;
One talked OF h~ypnotistic dreams:
One analysed the solar spectrum,
Another placed the river Styx;
Another showed the sad effect rum
Can work in local politics
unused. and thought now should I marry
That girl who wrote an old Morse fable
Would she turn out a household fairy
And set an appetizing tablef
Or would she be a slave to books,
With learning plenty for a wizard,
And yet the frighttulest of cooks,
Incompetent to broIl a gfzzardf
Would she go round in shabby sklrtsf
Could she do up my linen shirts
As dalntily as mother does EN-,
Or would she spot and crease each BOSOM
These questions made my senses whIri;
scarcely listeneS TO the theses;
Well, after all I'd take the girl
And brsvely face tie risk Of greases.

AT Laramie, Tuesday, a man who Is
now believed to belong to an emigrant
outfit, entered the Converse jewelry store
and pointing to a watch on the frame
stated to Mrs. Converse that he had lett
it to be repaired and now desired it. The
charge he said was to be 81, and he threw
down that amount on the counter. Mrs.
Converse handed him the watch and he
at once left, first stating hat his name
was Rodebaugh. As a matter oil fact the
watch was the personal property of Mr..
Converse and the man had worked only a
clever dodge to secure it.

Men In Pink of Condition-Entertained
by James Gordon Bennett
OK BoARp THE ATLANTIC.

OK BOARD THE ATLANTIC,
SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION, WILLIE FRANCE,
FRANCE, Feb. Il, 1890.
Through the courtesy OF Gen. Denovion,
military governor of the department of Apes
Maritimes. the naval brigades of four vessels Of
the squadron have been afforded an exceilent
opportunity of exercising, both as
tactical units and as whole brigade.
The weather has been beautifully fine,
and bataIlions have landed regularly
every night since Monday. 1t is quito a pretty
sight to witness from the altitude OF Cornish
road thirty boats freighted with armed men and
towed by steamer launches gliding over the
beautiful blue waters OF Vile France bay, and
it is surprisin to note the regularity and pre-
cisiou with which the units 6re landed and as
sembled each with its artill cry
corarnissary and medical corps completed. The
Chicago has landed daily $50 men, the Atlanta
and Boston $50 each, and Yorktown so, making q
total of 72O Yankee tars and marines.
To-day was grand field day, with review by
Admiral Walker, and the men looked in the
very pink of condition as they marched past with
a swinging gait.
Yesterday morning Capt. Howell and Comman-
der Chatwick were entertained at lunch by Mr.
James Gordon Bennett on board his yacht, the
Namouna which is lying at Nice, In the after
Doon they steamed down to Vile Franche in
launches in company with Mr.. Bennett and
party for the purpose of attending bail on
board the Chicago, which it is not too much to
say, was probably the grandest affair ever given
aho2t.

sions. Although the office was opened
much before the regular hour long line
of veterans was found waiting. Some or
them, it is said, had been ION
guard'' since midnight so as to be
foremost IN the rank. They consisted OF
grizzled men, some OF whom were lame,
others deprived of an arm, all OF them
more or less SCARED with battle wounds.
Many of them whiled away the time
fighting their battles over again.
The general army button was worn
proudly by not few. The payment was
made in checks drawn upon the
sub-treasury. At that deposit
tory Col. Loveland as pension
agent has about 81 900. 900 to his credit.
The checks were therefore paid promptly
on presentation, consequently there was
little delay for the veterans after reach
ing that building. The pension fund in the
sub-treasury to-day aggregates about
SIS 200 900. Against this will he
drawn checks from eleven out
of the sixteen pension districts.
Ten of these are outside of New York.
Most of the checks from distant points
will be presented through the banks,
where they will be deposited for collec-
ton. These, with a few isolated in
stances, will not reach the sub-treasury
until nearly all the New York checks
have been paid. Consequently, the work
at the depository will be carried over the
whole of the present week nd far into

say that expect to leave for St. Louis to-mor-
row, and that strangers now here viii occupy
my time until leave. But will try at an early
dste-without any intended political signif-
cance-to give you my views upon what con-
ceive TO be one of, if not the most, important
economic question now before the people OF the
black land district, if not OF the entire state-the
betterment of our roads. With kind regards, I
am very truly yours, HENRY ExALL.
