 This season housetop parties are all the ''go." Many and many family are now taking tea on the roof for the first time. It is surprising how the tdea has travelled. A lady or gentleman who has enjoyed the novel experience cells it ''confdentially'' to some friend who tries it, and the friend tells it to somebody else, and somebody else finds it delightful, and so each one ''passes the secret around. What was last sea- son an innovation is likely this summer to become a fad"
 Can you come up to the house to- morrow evening? We are going to have housetop tea party" That was the gentle way my friend broke the news to me one day last summer.
 IA housetop tea?" queried I.
 "Yes."
 "What kind of a tea is that?''
 ''Wait till you see one, and then you will know everything"
 ''All right"
 Remember, I shall expect you at eight o'clock sharp"
 In fact, a few minutes ahead of time we pressed the electric button that brought the aproned maid to the door.
 ''You will find MT. S. on the roof, !" re- piled the low-voiced girl to our inter rogatory. ''He told me to tell you to walk right upstairs"
 Slightly wondering, we mounted one flight, then another, still a third, and tired at the knees and half out of breath we climbed the steep pair of stairs that led to the roof.
 Once on the roof we had come upon a quiet scene of domestic felicity. There sat our genial host, lounging in negligc attire in big armchair. Smoking the pipe of peace he looked the picture of comfort. By his side, swinging to and fro with the gentle breeze, his mate re- clined in a hammock. Near at hand two children were playing and enjoy ing themselves to their hearts content. After the first greetings were exchanged the host said: '"This is our summer tea room. What do you think of it?''
 Then we took in the situation. The roof was the kitchen, dining and draw ing-room. It was also a blooming flower garden. All along the edge of the roof was double row of boxes, each one filled with plants of different colors. The air was heavily laden with pleasant perfume. The nostrils were ticlzled by stealing odor of geranium and by the delicate .> >heliotrope. All

CAUGHT IN A TRAP
A Gigantic Building Associa'
 tion SWindle Exposed.
VICTIMS IN ALL THE STATES
The Officers Were Collecting Money and
 Making No Loans

Clever Work by Postoffice Inspector
 He Secured Important Evldence-Two
 Officials of the Crooked Concern Ar
 rested-The Manager Has Disappeared.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Postoffice Inspector Stuart has arrested President Alfred Downing and Vice-President N. H. Tol- man of the National Capital Savings Building and Loan Association of North America, and exposed a most gigantic swindle.
 It is charged that the men who have been conducting this association have swindled thousands of people from every State in the Union; that they have taken from $200, ,000 to $600, 900 and given noth- ing in return. The victims hail from Maine to California, and are numbered among the rich and poor alike.
 From facts already in possession of the authorities, the scheme will parallel that of the great Fund W'' swindle, which was broken up about five years ago. There are still two men at liberty, they having disappeared several weeks ago.
 The two men who ars missing, it is be- lleved, got away with most of the funds.
 For six months and more letters have been received from all parts of the coun- try by the poStott1ce and city authorities protesting that the National Capital Savings Building and Loan Association of North America was not what it's pro- jectors represented it to be, and that it was collecting money and making no loans.
 Inspector Stuart has been working on the case four months. He found that the concern had agents in every State in the Union, who were selling the 2O,O00 900 of stock the company had issued. these agents, who were sent documents and circulars showing the association to be gilt edged.
 At the time Captain Stuart took charge | of the case, Louis F. Mortimer, the gen eral manager and secretary, was appar- | ently the responsible man, and handled the cash received in large amounts every day. Captain Stuart visited the com | pany's office frequently, disguised as a | letter carrier, in order to secure evidence. Several weeks ago Mortimer disap | peared, and yesterday, after waiting in vain for his return, Capt. Stuart decided to secure the other visible members o1 the concern.
 George O. Ferguson, of Lincoln, Neb representing about 60 victims in his city, was summoned here. With his as sistance the necessary evidence was com | pleted and the arrests made. Three | young women clerks were taken into | custody as witnesses.
 Until within few months the concern 1t is said, did heavy business in Phila delphia, but it appears that the authori | ties there made inq&iries which resulted in the manager leaving

COLONEL CoNGER, the man who m: y be said to have originated the present Blaine boom, by stating upon authority that MT Blaine would accept the nomi- nation, if il. came to him without effort on his part, is said to have told several friends of the difficulty he had in pre- vailing upon Mir Blaine to see the mat ter as he did. He says that after he had successfully combatted all the argu ments advanced by MT Blaine against accepting the nomination he had to go through the same thing with Mrs Blaine, who finally gave her consent, although she at first said that MT Blaine should never again become candidate. This may be entirely so, but if it is then Colonel Conger is not the shrewd politi- clan that he has been generally credited with being or he would never have re- peated it.

 Grandpa was fine-looking young fel- low then, so the old ladies say, and he is a fine-looking old gentleman now. For the past score of years he has been a firm believer in the merits of Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "It renewed my youth" he frequently says. It is the only blood purifier and liver invigorator guaranteed to benefit or to cure, or money. promptly refunded. It cures liver disease, dyspepsia ,scrofulous sores, skin eruptions, and all diseases of the blood. For lingering coughs and con- sumption (which is lung-scrofula in it's early stages) it is an unparalleled remedy.

Sometimes it is a good deal better to Svade the point than to come to it. II at altogether depends on the kind of point you want to emphasize, but here's one which will bear all the inspection you can give it: We MUST clear out our stock of Summer Clothing, Straw Hats, etc, within 30 days. No milder term than MUST will describe the situation. Necessity knows no law and, as the highest neces- sity is always the ruling principle, we are not looking for alternatives, we are simply accepting the inevitable. Here is az un- precedented opportunity for you to pur- chase what you may need in Boys or Mems Clothing at about two thirds of the usual prices.

front of the tent were the rainbow lights of Japanese lanterns, dancing for all the world like frefies in the evening wind.
 If you will excuse me-" said the hostess, II can have tea in a few min utes." With a smile she disappeared behind the screen. The servant ar ranged chairs around the tables, and soon she announced that tea was ready to be served.
 And jolly little supper party it was. The novelty of the whole affair actual ly made the viands appetizing. What with cold tongue and chicken, salad, warm biscuits, fruit, glass of wine and a cup of tea, little need be added. Cigars were lit, and the conversation became animated. Later on, some one with malice aforethought brought out ban jo from its hiding place. The music was soon drowned by the voices of sing CTS, which rang out clear and strong in the night air. The little gathering broke up about midnight, and good night" was said reluctantly to host and hostess who had planned so pleasant an entertainment.
 One clever dame decided to give a ''costume tea party" Almost all of the

CONSIDERING the age and infirmities of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, says the Boston Herald, the deaths in their ranks are not so numerous as it might be expected they would be. A roll of 5,530 deaths in a year out of total membership of about 100000 is less than one-half the annual death rate of Boston, where, with a population of AIS, ,O0O, there were 10, ,191 deaths last year.

teresting one, the view by day or night picturesque in the extreme. Those who have never stood on the roof of an eight pr ten-story flat, on silvery moonlight night, have missed a sight worth going miles to see. Far out toward Sandy Hook, the lights of Staten Island twinkle and simmer like stars; the blazing torch of the statue of Liberty is a powerful beacon light; two great cities are chained together by dazzling necklace of rubies, pearls and diamonds strung along the Brooklyn bridge. The city housetop is great place for those who are left in town in summer.

Stenographers are es- pecially wanted, there being few Span iards who understand stenography and no typewriter girls at all among the pretty Spanish-American maidens. The stenographer who understands Spanish is also in great demand Tn New York and other eastern cities, on account of the rapidly increasing trade with Mexico and the South American countries.
