soles are now enabled to have these
comfortable articles and to be able to
secure by them the variety which they
seek. Cater tops come in every posi-
BILE shade, and if the color desired is not
In stock, two dollars will secure a pair
exactly theishade that one wishes.
Parasols are more for ornament than
for use. The tops of many are pagoda
shape and the edge deeply trimmed with
u hounce Of lace. The foundation Of the
parasol is often of the flmiest lace,
painted upon one Of the panels and in
no way lined to afford protection from
the suns rays. With these ~parasols
there i5worn a road-brimmedhat which
is itself often so ilmy in texture that
1t Is scarcely more than a lace network
supported upon n wire frame, With
these somewhat diaphanous head cover
ings the woman of fashion ventures
forth under the rays Of the May sun
shine with no other protection for her
head than the couture, which is this
season very elaborate, heavy and com
plicated.
Gloves are in sympathy with the
rest of the toilet of the season. They
are made frequently of a combination
of two or three cOlors of kid or even
fine silk. Gloves displayed upon a form
outside of a Broadway wind wv were OF
black silk with kid tops and white
gauze between the fingers, Heavy
white stitching extended down the back
and a white stitching joined the silk
band with the kid uppers, Combinations
of black kid with lavender gauze and
lavender stitching and Of white with
purple trimmings are also seen.
1t is another fad for the fashiona BILE
women to have almost as many pairs OF
carriers as she has stockings. Catering
to this demand, the most elegant deal
ers have provided a pair of silk garters
clasped with appropriate buckles, to be
sold with each pair of stockings. The
general material Of the garter is elias
tic; then comes a ribbon bow, and then
there is a clasp, someti mes all metal,
and again studded with jewels. With
the accessories provided for her wear,
the woman whose inclination and purse
will permit can have no excuse for be-
ing other than elegant in all the minor
appointments Of her costume.

With some exceptions the performers
of the variety stage are inferior in
point of excellence to those of a few
years ago. due in a measure to the num-
Der of clever people who have risen in
the ranks and to the fact that enter
prising managers are on the lookout
for such talent, and engage it for work
more nearly legitimate. 1t is not often
in these days that one finds a young
and attractive girl who can sing and
dance "doing her turn" She is more
apt to be obese and greasy, faded and
antique. Blonde wigs, rouge, powder,
and short skirts are tolerably effective
in concealing the ravages of time, it IS
true, but the charm Of girlish freshness
is too often lacking.
A frowsy female of uncertain years
| cavorting around the stage and sing
ing about the postal-card that failed to
4 reach its destination, or "Do Not Fo-ho-
hor-get Me- which would be an inn
possibility, is not u delectable sight for
The gods, especially those of the gal
lery. The latter, by the way, constitute
a large army of admirers of the variety
favorites, and when pleased with some
performers specially are not at all
backward in demonstrating their APP
prevail.
Variety people form "A distinct class
by themselves, and there is a conrad
erie among them that is truly refresh
ing, the same being shown in many
original ways in their advertisements.
For example, an advertisement of one
of the best-known female performers
published in a New York dramatic
paper a short time ago concluded in
this manner
Regards to Mr.. Pastor and Co.
Rosie, write to me. Mile, 1 lost the
puff"
It is to be hoped Rosie and Mile saw
these messages, and it is more than
likely they did.
The advertisements of performers eX-
plotting their specialties are also pecu-
liarly novel in some instances. One
man announces that he is "all by his
loneyes, tells what company he is with,
I and that he is doing q speciality and
taking part in the afterpiece, "The
Great Little Lord F~ondofrye,' an in
Simultaneous hit"
Cards setting forth wants for the
variety stage are also interesting in
their frankness and originality. For
example:

An opportunity for ambitious but
struggling genius is here offered:

decidedly queer as a rule. Topical

Eowdon was born at the Ness. Teirh-
mouth, England, i'm March. 1867. Atan
early age he found himself capable of
doing some remarkable jumps. His
first appearance in public was at the
Windsor and Elton sports in 1854, when
he carried OF the high jump with a lelp
of > feet 8 inches. At that time
Rowdon was only II years of
age and stood 5 feet 5 inches. The
next year he again won with the same
jump. In 1856 he won the champion
ship with "a jump of . feet llls
inches. In 1887 he tied
with w. B. Page for the championship
at 6 feet. The same year at Dart
mouth he got over the bar at 6 feet
2 inches, and the same year at Paignton
he was awarded a gold medal for do
ing 6 feet 2 l-2 iuchs. At Crewe, in
1Sss, he again won the championship.
In May, 1889, at Dartmouth, he made a

He has made "a challenge to jump any

championship of the world, has covered
Rowdou's challenge with 800. The
match may never come off, however,

We ARE TOO DISTANT.

The Executive Committee of the
Columbia and Snake Rivers Auxiliary
Waterway Association has levied an
assessment equivalent to rs cents for
each member OF every Board OF Trade,
Chamber of Commerce, aud Farmers
Alliance throughout the Territory
drained by the Columbia and Snake
rivers and their tributaries.
This is to provide q sufficient fund
for such expenses, in connection with
the purpose for which the association
was formed. as the Executive Com
mittee may deem advisable to incur.
While the aim OF the association is
a worthy one, the remoteness Of tits
region from that which the proposed
improvement is intended to benefit
relieves us of the obligation of con-
tributing in the manner proposed.

THE TRAIN.

No train to day; possibly none to-

The north bound train reached
Ketchum all right yesterday; but in
bucking snow off the side-track the
pillow was disabled and the locomotive
drawing it was thrown from the track.
The locomotive of the regular train
fastened to its relief. II, too, was
thrown from the track. Both locomo.
tives are therefore disabled and will
not move until another locomotive
comes and pulls them on tho track
again.
At $3.50 o'clock last evening two
locomotives left Shoshone with q
wrecking outfit and 20 or 30 men fol-

Up ia Bellevue hospital yesterday,

heroism. says the New York World.
Her name is Della Engan. Shs is
only poor working girl, an employe
in a cooperative laundry shop, but
voluntarily, joyfuIly. she has said that
she is willing to be aayed alive if she
can only restore to health again her
lifelong friend, Minnie Emma Wick.
She will not have to be actually
aayed alive, however, this generous
little Della Engan, but she will be
SCARED for life. A long strip Of flesh
had already been taken from each of
her legs to build up scalp on Minnie
Wilck's now fi"shless head, and a
great deal more will have to be taken
from her body before the friend for
whom she mas sacrificed so much will
be fully restored. She is ready to en-.
dure it all to aid the operation and
the surgeons in their remarkable ex.
pertinent. She is plucky little
thing. She barred her flesh last Wed
nesday. when the grating was begun,
as if it we're the most ordinary thing
in the world.
Yet two more operations of the
same kind must be undergone before
Minnie Wilck's scalp is made good
again.
