VIEWPOINTS LATEST FAD.
Three Japanese Ladies' Assist at Mrs. j.
p. Kernochan's Fete.

Society, says dispatch from New
port to the New York Sun, has been
looking around anxiously for some
months to discover some new feature to
add novelty and grace to afternoon re-
captions, and musicales begin to pail
somewhat on public taste. The Van
Aliens tried actors and artists last year
with considerable success, especially
when Lillian Russell lent her presence
and voice to grace the afternoon fetes.
But it was reserved for Mrs. J. P. Ker-
nochan to hit upon the japanese fad to
give the touch that was sought for.
Her cottage on Saturday afternoon,
on Marine avenue, was the scene of the
largest social gathering of the season,
partially because of her popularity and
partly because tip had been given that
something unusual was on the carpet.
The eighty callers found one room
devoted to japanese ladies, three in
number, who had decorated the walls
after the manner of their country
women. The walls were concealed by
fine paper resembling delicately-tinted
serge, so as TO give quiet-toned back
ground for large collection of fine old
vases and Satsuma ware, scrolls and
panels, with characteristic storks and
other birds in trees and branches of gold
and silk threads. The effect was rich
and Oriental in the extreme.
The Japanese women wore kimonos of
dove colored and dark silks and satins.
beautifully embroidered with figures.
They make tea after the way Of the
Mikado's subjects, putting a pinch in a
small teapot, pouring boiling water
thereon, and then passing ii about in
tiny cups to the guests with little bits of
confectionery dear to guests in Japanese
tea houses, and with the winning smile,
grace and charm of manner peculiar to
the mustn't
One then took native three-stringed
guitar and picked an accompaniment to
the peculiar monotonous whine and in
Election Of Japanese songs, another
picked away at u japanese either, while
third went through the turning and
posturing dear to the Japanese dancer.
Their voices blended as much as the
song would allow. 1t was at times dis
cordant; but the whole effect was such
as to recall wildly the Toxic tea houses
to many globe trotter there.
The dancing finished, the guests left
the natives standing in the centre of the
highly polished floor bidding all pleas
ant farewell in the greeting of Sayonara.
The guests had but one topic of CONVEX
sation thereafter, and that was the now
city Of the idea, the gorgeousness of the
decoration and the peculiar grace of
dancing.

THIEF NEATLY rRAppEDA
A Piunderer of "a sub-Treasury Wa,
Caught Directly in the Act

ST. LOUIS, Aug. S.-Ashton G. Bean
chief coin teller of the sub-treasury, has
succeeded in capturing a thief who re-
Gently has made several raids on govern
ment money.
Mr.. Bean had noticed the Disappearance
of several small piles of coin from his
desk. One time bag containing S62 in
battered nickels disappeared; another time
$40 in quarters. He made good the deficit
out of his own pocket but firmly resolved
to catch the thief before departing on his
vacation.
His scheme was eminently successful.
He suspected the janitor, Louis Lee, col
ored, because that official had shown the
Waterman several battered nickels. Early
yesterday morning, before it was time for
the janitor to clean up the apartments
Mr.. Bean placed on his desk for a
bait bag containing $50 worth of
silver dimes. He secreted himself in the
little closet in the opposite side of the
room in the door of which he had bored
hole, through which hecould look without
being seen. After patiently waiting for an
hour or more he saw the janitor approach
The colored man slyly thrust the bag of
coin into his pocket in full view of Mr..
Bean and son of Waterman Ferguson,
who was stationed in an ante room on the
opposite side. The janitor was allowed to
finish his busting and depart from the
room.
He coolly washed himself in the hall
while MIR. Ferguson was blackening his
boots nearby. The thief was seized by
Messrs. Bear and Ferguson Just US he was
about to leave the building. The coin
being found in his pocket he was given
into custody.

Armed with Homely weapons.

HARVARD, ILL, Aug. 10.-Sheriff
Udell, assisted by posse of tried men,
yesterday afternoon captured a man
south Of Woodstock who had been a
terror to the people residing in that
region. Farmers have complained of
being accosted on the roadside and in
suited, but the climax was reached
yesterday afternoon. A young man and
his sweetheart were driving along the
road and the fellow jumped out from the
field and took hold of the horse. He
had in his hand corn cutter with which
he attempted to kill the man in the
buggy, but by striking the horses a
vigorous blow the terrified youth sue
ceeded in getting by his assailant, not,
however, without his aiming blow at
the young lady in the buggy. Forum
ately she was unframed. The sheriff
then went to capture the fellow. He
resisted and eight or 10 shots were fired
The man was finally captured after
being shot in the leg. He is now in the
Woodstock Jail and his name is I'M
known. He is about 80 years of age,
and on his person beside the corn-cutter
he had number of sections out of a
reaper sickle. He is thought to be in
sane.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A special from

THE KAISER WILL vIsir US.
He VIII Come TO the Worlds Fair If He
Has No War on Hand.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-If the presence of
royal persons can insure the success of the
Worlds Fair in Chicago its success now
seems to be assured. 1t is certain that sew
eral members of the English royal family
are showing such an interest in the pro-
gress of the preparation as indicates an in
tention on their part to visit the fair, and
communications have reached London
from Berlin which leave little doubt that
If Europe is at peace at the time of the fair
the German emperor will indulge himself
in the greatest voyage of his life in seeing
America. The keen and growing interest
taken in London in the fair renders it
probable that an invitation from the
mayor Of Chicago to the lord MAYOR of
London asking him to inspect the site and
preparations for the fair this year would
find acceptance. The question Is dis
cussed among members of the common
council whether the lord mayor could take
n protracted leave of absence from office
10 go in state to America. Precedents for
visits of lord mayors abroad, found in the
archives support the proposal. If the
pending arrangements result favorably the
lord mayor will be enabled to see Chicago
next spring probably in semi-priyate
capacity, and his visit will be prelude to
the presence in state of his successor in
