In the throng on the beach 1t Caps
May Sunday. the greatest since the open
ing of the season, as was to be expected,
were many new faces, but the eyes OF
the males became fixed at an early period
upon a new star of the first magnitude.
That she was a beauty of the inner circle
and no mistake was the unanimous de-
cision of the few 'Johnnies' there. Al
though her face and bare rounded arms
were tanned that delicious brown only
acquired by a seasons ~sojourn, and al
though the short, red robe she wore had
a strangely familiar appearance, not a
soul knew her, and the chappies were in
despair. Washing is not permissible
at Cape May, and, moreover, the most
daring had not the courage to approach
a girl whose proud lips, aquiline nose
and cold, clear eyes indicated a vast
amount of hauteur and reserve. So the
big beauty bathed alone, and the sang
froid with which she met the rollers
created a veritable sensation.
In the very height of the bathing
period a half grown boy came along the
beach, and, catching eiimpse of her,
ran out as far as he dared and then, with
the reconsideration of youth, shouted:

A FORT RUSSELL VISITOR.
The Leader of the Famous Escape
From Libby Prison.

Capt Thos. +. Rose, of the 10th
United States infantry, who is now be.
fore an examining board at Fort Russell
Tor promotion. played an important part
IN the history OF the civil war. He was
then colonel of the 18th Pennsylvania
volunteers and was wounded 10 the foot
at an engagement late in 1868 and was
subsequently captured and sent to Libby
prison. As soon as he was placed be-
hind the walls he commenced planning
to escape and soon had an organized com-
pany of the prisoners at work on a def
mite plan. He projected a tunnel down
under the foundation walls of the prison
across under the street into an empty
almost q hundred feet away.
The excavation was made with SPOONS
knives. the dirt being carried in the
of the miners and secreted in
various parts of the jail The tunnel was
completed until February Of 1864 and
was on the 9th Of that month that the
escape was made.
One hundred aud nine prisoners es-
capped through the tunnel. Col. Rose.
vino was then rather stout, had a painful
experience getting through. In descend.

into the opening in sue, a manner that
he became firmly wedged in the narrow
passage. He was pulled out by several

AT a social gathering in Oakland a few
evenings ago the belle was a young
matron of the brunette type, who is also
u singer of some local reputation, and
prominent in the church of which she is
a member. She was becomingly dressed
in a gown OF pale pink, trimmed with
delicate filmy white lace. The effect was
charming, and the costume and color
were well suited to her complexion and
style. A lady sitting neal remarked to
her companions: 81 don't see how Mrs.
- can afford to keep up the style in
which she dresses on her husbands in
come. You know he is only a clerk in a
gentleman's furnishing store" When I
was introduced to the lady discussed l
was agreeably surprised to discover that
the costly appearing dress she wore was
only madelaine cloth, and the whole out
fit in which she was attired had not cost
more than five dollars at the outside.
She had the happy faculty Of making
what she could afford to appear at the
best advantage, and was accordingly
misjudged.-San Francisco Letter.

The latest craze tt. strike Philadelphia
is the wearing of tie "Oudja,"a pretty
little Egyptian charm, supposed to ward
off all forms of evil. The charm is thin,
and is about IN inch long and half an
inch wide. A conspicuous figure is the
eye of "Horus," which represents the
sun, and a teardrop hanging pendant
from the eye represents the river Nile.
The little charm, which has been worn
in England for a couple of years, has
been indispensable to the superstitious
Egyptians for many centuries.
A pretty story explains the Egyptian
craze. A young officer in the English
army sent one home to his bride, with
an explanation Of its origin. After a bat
tie in the Soudan the young officer was
reported dead, but the wife refused to
believe it. Later on the official dis
patches confirmed the aeath, but still
the bride had faith in the little charm.
Several months later the missing hus-
band turned up alive and well, and the
"Oudja" became a fad Of great proper
ions.-Philadelphia Record.
