Swiss SCHOOLGIRLS,
The Atlantic.

French and music being the chief ends
of each. girls sojourn, there was no grind
of college preparation. Nobody was study
ing for an examination. This prevented
a certain strenuousness of tone and
tensity of excitement which are
apt 10 exist with US in the
more earnest schools. On the other
hand, there was in the girls themselves
none of that intellectual interest which we
find among bright American girls who are
pursuing classical studies together They
had among themselves no such eagerness
of conversation; they did not appear TO
discuss the problems of life or to feel per-
sonally answerable for their solution: and
as compared with a set either of clever or
of fashionable girls, they seemed very
young for their years, though in some
instances very bright, and in an
interesting way. If the school had
not the stamp of college
preparatory, neither had it the character
of our fashionable institutions for young
ladies. Careful attention was paid TO in
struetion in manners and little nlceties of
social usage. The necessity for a woman
of being womanly was frankly dwelt upon,
and taken for granted as basis of action;
but trivial or petty view of things was
strongly discouraged, and the whole tone
of the household was thst of rare sim
plicity and unworldliness.

ling Club Organized.


ling Club Organized.
TACOMA, July 26.-Instructor Wells. of
the ST. Luke's Athletic Club gymnasium,
has completed arrangements as far as pos
sible for the clubs field day, August s.
Most of the contests are club events, but
several yet to be announced will be open
for all desiring to participate. Much in
terest is manifested by club members and
their friends in the field. day sports. Mr..
Wells receives applications for entrance at
the parish house from to 10 a. m. and
from to p. IN.
A cycling club has been organized which
promises to become prominent factor in
the sporting and solial life of the city.
The club has been christened the Tacoma
Cycling Club, and has headquarters on
Tacoma avenue. None but adults are
eligible. There are number of lady
riders in this city, and they have already
taken lively interest in the club. There
are also among the riders in the city ex-
members of the foremost cycling clubs of
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St.
Louis and San Francisco, and from among
those and local riders strong racing team
will no doubt be formed. Permanent or
ganization of the club will be effected
Tuesday evening.
Frank March, Tacoma's crack pitcher of
last season, whose arm has been troubling
him off and on all this season, spent a few
days at Hot Springs last week. Today he
umpired the game between the Dodges, of
Tacoma, and the Puyallups, at the Elev-
enth street grounds.
Joe Ardner, who was released last week
by the Tacoma League club, had quite a
coterie of admirers among the younger
baseball enthusiasts of this city. He ex-
poets to finish the season with the Omaha
club.
Secretary G. G. Chandler of the Tacoma
League Baseball Club is spouting a bran
new mustache of the golden-sandy order.
The growing of another mustache seems
TO be prompted in Mr. Chandler as purely
matter of business. Some two moons ago
he shipped off his long, flowing bristles in
the hope that Tacoma might get out of the
hole, but the sacrifice did not help
matters. When alone on the street with
out his mustache. short-sighted friends
did not recognize him, and the absence of
the mustache resulted in business annoy
aEce, such as being identified at the bank,
on steamboats,, cars, etc. Worst of all, he
played ball in the street in front of his
house one evening, and policeman, not
knowing him, and thinking he might
break Mr.. Chambers windows, induced
him To go TO the police station for the pur-
pose of paying the usual fine for such of
fenses. Mr.. Chandler was recognized and
his identity was fully established at police
headquarters.

TACOMA, July 26-[Special. THE w. r.
Dodges and the Puyallups, of the Puget
Sound Amateur League, played an inter
esting game on the Eleventh street
grounds this afternoon. There was plenty
of ginger in the play of both teams, but
the Puyallups could not connect effectu-
ally with Bakers curves, and they also did
not back up GROCER as well as the Dodges
did their pitcher. Hence the result, 13 to
6 in favor of the Dodges. Baker pitched
very good ball, although he has been sick
for week. GROCER did exceedingly well
considering the circumstances. Toward
the end of the game he got tribe ratified.
Four hundred spectators enjoyed the con-
test, as there were plenty of circus plays
throughout. Frank March gave satisfac-
ton as umpire. The score:

How the Conductor Settled 1t.

Everybody is familiar with the specta-
Gle of two women in street car endeav-
oring to pay one anothers fare, but it re-
manned for an energetic Brooklyn con-
ductor the other day TO take the matter
in his own hands and straighten out the
snarl. Asusual, when the two were seat
ed each plunged for her purse, which re-
ceptacles were brought out with mutual
protests. No. got out her coin, dime,
saying complacently, "It's al ready, my
dear But No. had quarter which
she really wanted changed" So it went
on while the conductor stood before them
waiting for some decision. None came
and he grew impatient. He counted out
some change in each hand. LET me
have your dime, please" he said TO No.
i, and she obediently handed it over
Then he put out his hand to No. 2, who
gave him her quarter, not understanding
what was coming. Then quickly to No.
he handed nickel, and to No. 2 twenty
cents in change before either OF the wo-
men discovered his intention, and walked
off to the platform muttering something
that probably would not look well in
print.-New York Times.

Ralph Flynn, rancher living mt
Wayne, on the Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern railway, has had q dangerous
encounter with panther and narrowly
escaped the claws of the beast.
Flynn started hunting early one morn
ing, taking with him q Winchester rifle
of the latest patent, which he had just
bought and had not learned to handle
with skill. He was looking principally
for deer, and had gone about five miles
through deep thicket when he came
suddenly upon the partially devoured
CARCASS Of n sheep, which had evidently
fallen prey to panther. Remember
ing reports Of sheep having been killed
by wild animals In his reighborhood,
Flynn fastened On, nerving himself for
a tussle with cougar or some equally
fierce beast. With the assurance that
his gun was prepared he cautiously eyed
every nook as he passed, occasionally
seeing fresh tracks of varmints.
FLYNN travelled on about two miles in
this manner without success, and gave
up the chase on that line. He had just
turned to retrace his steps when his eye
caught what seemed to DO dogs head
peering at him over log. A second
look proved to Flynn that it was a
panther instead of dog. Taking de-
liberate aim, Flynn rested his rifle
against tree and fired Mt the animals
head. The ball only stunned the brute,
which, with crazy leap, made toward
Flynn. The latter's delay IN reloading
on account Of the new patent nearly
proved fatal to himself, as the panther
was within twenty feet Of him when he
shot it dead between the eyes. The
brute was between Flynn and the sleeps
carcass, and had followed him by its
keen scent for two miles.
1t measured nine feet from tip to tip,
and its hide is now a trophy highly
priced by Flynn.-Seattle Post-Inteli-
