WORLDS FAB NOTES.


Islands, has decided to make an ez-
hibit at the Exposition.

already agreed to return exhibits to
the Exposition free Of charge.
Oxford University, England, has
expressed its willingness TO send an
eight Dared crew to the Worlds
Fair, provided competition can be
arranged with American college

newspapers that the entire organiza-
ton of the Imperisl Opera Company
of Berlin, Germany, will come to
Chicago in 1898, to give operate
performances in the Music Hall to
be erected on the Exposition
grounds.
The government of Russia has de.
cided to haul exhibits for the Fair.
at half rates on all government rail
roads, and at the same time it has
suggested to private companies that
they make a like reduction. A like
| arrangement has been effected in
Germany.
All Indian exhibits at the Worlds
Fair will be under the direction of
the Government, or of Chief Puntam
of the Department of Ethnology.
The Ways and Means Committee
has decided that it will consider no
application by private individuals
for an Indian exhibit.
An additional appropriation of
| 100000 to 100000 is what the
Board of Management of the Gov
eminent Exhibit thinks will be nec-
essary to insure the exhibit at the {

Commissioners who recently visited
Cbicago--it is reported, has been
invited. and has consented, to lec-

New YORK, Jan. l, S91.-TSpecial cor
respondence of The HERALD. lit is esti-
mated that more women have persisted of
pneumonia from wearing the becoming and
fashionable little capes than from any other
one article of dress, or undress, that has
ever been in vogue. The high collar does
something towards neutralizing the evil,
but it cannot do ALL for there are the arms
to be protected, as well as the small of the
back, the rib region and the neighborhood
Of the stomach.
1t is so tempting to wear ones cape just
once more. Of course, it will be discarded
as soon as the weather is cold enough t.
call for jacket Bat to day, it is fine out
ofdoors and the breeze seems soft and
balmy though trifle piercing as one waits
upon a corner for the street car. And so
the cape goes on again and the woman looks
stylishly broad of shoulders and fashion
ably small of waist. Perhaps she may es-
cape once or twice more. But the deadly
pneumonia aud bronchitis, not to mention
pleurisy and neuralgia are lying around
loose ready to penetrate each vulnerable

sion which laid waste the windows Of
Bridgeport. The He'll Gate explosion was
source of no end of anxiety to owners of
plategl win lows on Manhattan island
but the water served as cushion and
saved the glass.
In town in Michigan a turkey escaped
from his coop and alighted on sign, from
which the owner attempted to diSloGge it
with & pole. The turkey flew across the
street and through plate glass window.
In one case a revolver slipped from the
pocket of a clerk TO the sidewalk IN front

and the bullet went through the window.
saloon-keeper dropped a dice box which
glanced against a window, breaking it. An
electric light wire broke, and falling struck
and fractured a plate glass window. In
Streator, Ill, a dynamite explosion broke
nearly all the plate glass in town. Some
time ago Atchison, hans., was visited by
a hailstorm which destroyed several
thousand dollars worth of plate glass.
In one western city a new building had
been erected, the plate glass front had
been put in, and a painter was painting the
panelling under the windows next to the
sidewalk. A cow, on tour of inspection,
walked in at the back door and out through
the plate glass window in front, over the
painter head. A chain link from the trace
on a street car horse was snapped with
such force as to fly through plate glass
window. A pebble on a street rail way
track has been so struck by car or a truck
wheel as to be projected against glass
with force enough to break it. A stone
struck by pick in the hands of work

fastened to be blown about by the wind
with fatal results Wilful mischief is not
uncommon, as in the case of man in want
of winter quarters who threw a stone
through window as an easy means of Sc
curing a few months residence on the
island. In Providence recently some ma
lcious person walked at night through a
business street and with diamond cut a
semi circular mark on each pane of plate
glass within reach. In Gloucesf er, Massa-
chusetts, young man was detected in sim
narly cutting devices on plate-glass win
dows with diamond. The man was not
intoxicated, and he assigned no reason for
his peculiar form of diversion. Again, a
man leaning against door, fell and broke
a small pane of plate-glass. Entering the
store he apologized for the accident, and in
quired the amount of the damage. Being
told that il would be about $40. he pleaded
his inability TO bear so large loss, and of
fered to divide it with the proprietor, each
paying half. His offer was accepted, and
rendering a $50 bill he received $40 in
change, the proprietor doubtless consider
ing himself fairly Unidentified. 1t did
not occur to him at the time that
there might be several ways of doing bust
ness in plate glass. 1t did, however, when
he undertook TO pass the twenty dollar
bill and found it counterfeit.
Inc VI OliC MluO Ids frequently
stripped the glass out of windows, particu-
larly corners, or blown box or cigar sign
through them. An open fanlight is some
times lifted by it and let fall with sufficient
force to jar pane of glass from Its frame.
Icy weather brings its list of disasters; the
clerks, in closing stores, let slip
the shutters, shattering much good plate
glass. Slippery payements treacherously
fling passers by through doors and win
dows. A horse, frightened by steam
engine, dashes through plate glass win
dow, and. in his efforts to free himself,
backed the wagon into the show windows
on the opposite corner. A housekeeping
horse sent pebble, caught in his shoe, fly
ing through highly polished plate, while
another glass was so transparent that a dog
spfang through it. A small boy with a
whipping toy has been known to demclish
an expensive plaue-glass window and escape.

Some one has discovered that chair
grown on the premises is always more

is transferred from another woman's head,

cred at the back of the head, and is loosely
braided, then it is carried up and down the
back of the head in two long, broad bands,
much longer than they are wide. Hairpins
to match the hair, black, gold or amber, are
used for retaining points.
Should the locks be too scanty to permit
such reckless display, there is still bless
ed balm left open by Dame Fashion. 1t is
the old coil, known as a French twist. The
French twists of '9l will begin to coil al
most at the crown of the head, where, after
a single turn, the hair will be fastened and
curled over an iron. 1t will then be brought
forward to mingle with the front bangs.
This style, while hiding discrepancies in
the shape of thin, scanty and short locks,
also helps the bangs to appear heavy and
abundant.
