Tho Engagement Ring.

The girl with ring en- her first
finger is not to be found Cny m ore. The
engagement ring is worn on either the
middle or fourth finger, but mover on
the first, says the jewelers. Review. At
q recent wedding in New York the bride
removed her right glove and the ring
was placed on her right hand, instead
OK the left. The reason for this change
is not known. The fourth finger of the
left hand has been known as the finger
for the wedding ring from the earliest
timc-it being supposed that the veins
from this finger went straight to the
heart. Perhaps the young ladies' hearts
are changing nowadays. The winter
girl Is marked by two characteristics
she has her hair frizzled all over her
head, and she wears q ring on her little
finger.
Plays tho Piano Mt NInety-slx.
1t is not impossible to find ladies' of
not more than fifty years old who let
their pianos stay unopened because
they say they are too old and their fin
gers are too stiff to play any more. But
people who pass along Winthrop
street house, it is reported, often hear
music from piano fingered by Mrs.
Matilda Sewall, who, though ninety-six
years old, plays with the skill and en-.
ergy OF girl.

Tho Gross Outrage That Dives Perpo.
trates Upon His EeIghbors.
When>primitive mamie of the bone
caverns and paleolithic implements
wished to summon his retainers he
stood up and howled for them, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. His descend
ants have sought out many inventions;
they have devised the telegraph, the
telephone, the special delivery, the dis
trict messenger and a great variety of
contrivances for making signals-and
yet When Dives gives ball and finds it
necessary to summon the carriages of
his guests in the small hours of the
morning he has no better means of
doing so than were possessed by his
historic ancestor. He sends a servant
to stand on the sidewalk and howl for
an hour or two until the carriages,
which are scattered about the streets
for two or three squares in every direc-
ton, have been called up and loaded,
during which process his neighbors,
who have not been invited to the ball
and who are kept awake by the racket,
writhe in agony and call down maledic-
tions upon the head of Dives, his sguests,
his retainers and all their descendants
to the iortieth generation.
II: this way Dives advertises himself
to his guests as man of wealth, who
can afford to entertain literally, and to
his neighbors and the public generally
as man of influence, who con break
the peace with impunity and need not
fear the arrest of his servants for MAX
ing disturbance one-tenth of which
would land a casual reveler in a dun
geon cell before he had time to begiS
the second installment. 1t is very
pleasant for Dives-but how about his
neighbors? In this land of the free,
where every man is, theoretically, as
good as another, and in his own estima-
tion great deal better, have they no
rights which even Dives and his howl
i: = henchmen are bound to respect?
Must their rest be broken and their
sleep destroyed that his servants legs
may be spared the fatigue of running
after carriages? We learned, some
while ago, that, as to the subordinate
temples OF Bacchus, "rum and music
won't mix" Does the same principle
apply to zine and midnight ululations?
If not, why not? Why should one
man who has been making merry with
his friends be arrested for singing
1--WE Won't Go Home Till Morning!"
and another be permitted to stand for
hours in the public streets shouting:
Number Forty-two-Number Seven
Number Eighty-six!" in a voice that
scares the sparrows from their perches
three blocks away? The conceded
fact that the former is enjoying him
self, while the latter is not, has moth
ing to do with the question. Simple
enjoyment is no crime per. sc, though
some cross-grained persons would like
to make it SO; nor is n man justified in
making nuisance of himself by the
fact that he is working or even doing
penance. 1t is hard work for burglar
to break into safe, but his labor is
not counted to him in mitigation of his
sentence.

The Oregon wonder is situated in
Josephine county, forty miles from the
coast and twelve miles north of the Cali
fornia line. There are two small 0pen-
ings in big limestone bluff, through
which access Is had to the bowels Of the

passages that in the light of torches or
lanterns reveal dazzling beauties in the
way Of Enthusiastically shaped stalactites,
magnificent white pillars and streams
and pools of clear, cold wate;. An ex-

door games and exercises, a costume suited
TO the sport is necessary. We take pleasure,
therefore, in presenting models for lawn
tennis dress, a cycling costume and some
thing new in the way of riding habit.
The tennis dress depicted in the cut is in
ecru fannelet, spotted with garnet. The
GALLON which trims the costume, also the
plated yoke matches in color the garnet
spots. The hat is of ecru straw, with gar
niture composed Of bows OF garnet colored
ribbon.
The cycling costume shown in the same
cut includes a skirt in gray cheviot, encir-
cled with two rows of dark gray braid.
The bodice is in blue stockinet and is
finished with a rundown collar, lapels
and deep cuffs. The blouse worn beneath
this is also in stockinet. A wide silk
necktie and jockey cap of gray are worn
with this costume.
English riding habits have undergone
some slight alterations. The bodices are
cut considerably longer this season than
they were last. A new model seen had a
iaunty open fronted coat bodice fastened
with one button. II was worn with =
waistcoat and cravat. Another model had
a bodice fashioned on much the same lines
as q mans dresscOat
In the second cut Is shown = French rid

in cut This habit is in brown cloth; the
waistcoat is Of pale blue cambria. The
gray hat is finished with a twist Of rust

with this habit. which IS fastened with gilt
buttons
Some of the river dresses have nautical
decorations-an anchor, life buoy, or a
pair OF oars embroidered on the corners Of
the skirt. Others are outlined vita silk or

chicks were only about four weeks old and
could scratch but little for themselves The
weak mother would go around with them,
putting down her bill TO show where they
we're TO scratch. She. soon became too weak
tor this, and the gentleman says: Soon
after we noticed all of her chicks standing
around her in a sort of half circle with their
eyes looking piteously toward her, peeping
mournfully, she in turn giving faint chirps

 Republicans all over the country will watch the progress of the contest in Ohio with deep interest. Mckinley has made a splendid start, and his speech of Saturday was a powerful one. On the same day MT. o. C.. Shayne, the we'll known fur merchant of New York, made a speech at Pomeroy, Ohio, in behalf of what the Democrats are pleased to call McKinleyism. MT. Shayne talked about protection in 8 simple and impressive way, and some things he said are we'll worth attention elsewhere than in Ohio. For instance, If a capitalist were to come to Pom eroy to invest a million dollars, and would leave it to the citizens of this town whether he would locate here or in West Virginia, how would you vote on that question: Would you not vote to have him invest his capital in Pomeroy? You surely would, because you know by the investment of that money labor would find employment the money would remain here. Now, if you were called upon to vote whether you desire that same manufacturing establish ment located in Ohio or in Virginia, how would you vote? You would vote to have it located in Ohio. Now, when you are called up to cast your votes whether you desire the capital invested in this country to build manufacturing establishments and give employment to labor, or to send your gold to Europe to buy what they manu- facture there, how will you votee That is the question, and that is all there is of this whole issue.
 This is business view of protection. And it will find approval wherever it is read and understood.

MEXICAN GHOSTS.
The Mysterious Experiences of a
 United States Sailor.

The Mysterious Experiences of a
 United States Sailor.
 A. s. Chatfeld of the Indianapolis Drug company was in the United States navy several years, and cruised in every sea.
 "The experience that left the most last ing impression on me was one had with ghosts," said he to an Indianapolis News reporter. "Now do not believe in ghosts for one minute, but the experience I had is one am not able to explain away. There is hardly day of my life that do not think of it. We stopped at a Mexican port and hadn't been there very long until we learned that the natives were much ex. cited over haunted house that stood of by itself in lonely part of the town. All the brave men in the place had visited the house to hear the ghosts and the experi enee was such that no one could be in duced to go back a second time. The second mate of our ship and I decided te | investigate the ghosts We firmly believed that some one in the place was slipping into the house and making the strange 1 noises that were reported as being heard The mate was @ man who did not know | pared to kill the first ghost that made itl appearance.
 We prepared for the expedition by clean ing and loading four good revolvers ant by providing dark lantern. In the after noon we went to the house and examined it carefully for secret enterances. EverJ foot of floor and wall was examined, anc we saw that the doors were all sercurely bolted on the inside, except the one t: which we had key. Soon after dark ", went to the house and made a second ex animation, and found it as we he'd left i in the afternoon. We then took our seat in the front room, With our faces toward an open door leading into another room The house was quiet as death. The mat, held the dark laatern, with the slid on, ,ant wa each held revolvers in our hands. Afte, we had been there perhaps helf an hour we heard noise like one makes in slight ly pulling chair near table. A momen later the chair in the room in which VI were facing seemed to be picked up ant set down again. Then we- heard foot steps, and pretty soon the room resound ed with noises.
