THE CEMETERY AVENUE.

THE CEMETERY AVENUE.
The completion of the government avenue
now in progress from the Soldiers cemetery
along Wilkes street extended to Alfred street
will lead to some improvement In Alfred street
to make connection with Duke street. It is not
unlikely that Congress will undertake this
work. and by an appropriation authorize the
extension of its macad amizing work along
Alfred street, SO az to connect with the pave
mept at Duke street. The cost of this work is
estimated at about $1,000, and 1t is believed
that Congress will be willing to make the new
avenue available by connecting it with the
paved streets Of the city. 30 that the cemetery
can be easily approached either from. the
Washington ferry or the railway depot

not proved q success under its present c,rcum-
stances, and has lost money 1t is understood

owing TO its smaM capital Only eos, 600 was
raised to start it and, although it bought
building at low rate. only "a 900 being paid
for Green's factOry.in which the enterprise was
begun. yet after it Lad bought the machinery,
&C.. it had no margin for trade. Il was not
able even to occupy the whole Of the building
with its work anu was obliged to confue its
operations to one part of the shoe
business-the making and selling of
women's shoes Under these circurnstances
u. "A
number of business men have formed q syndi-
cate and said to the other stockholders: 1--WE
will either buy out your stock at so cents on
the dollar or will sell oar stock to you at that
rate. 1t Is understood that nearly oil
the non-syndicate stockholders have agreed to
sell out ut these terms. As soon as the trans.
fer is made additional capital will be raised
and the Potomac shoe factory start on new
basis.

Some Girls Arc Mean.

Girls are certainly not kind to each
other, especially if each other is pretty
Now there is that girl who wears little
false fringe! Her own hair is pretty,
goodness knows, only you see it isn't
curly and the sea air plays the dickens
with it. No one can blame her for Wear
ing little front" Of course when she
pins her hat on tho pin gets its best hold
through this front, and, would you be.
lieve it, have seen one of her summer
friends deliberately borrow just those
hairpins that chiefly secure the false
piece, and then coax the wretched
wearer into breeze that the hat, treach-
erous hat, may blow off and carry there
with the front, and-well! words fail
The tears actually blinded me when J
saw that hat sail off down the beach, a
scalplike fringe hanging to it, and be-
held a poor, innocent and beautiful girl
in one fell instant changed to hideous
bali looking creature, with a lot OF queer
knobby things done in rags about her
forehead. The other girl could hardly
contain her joyful shouts. Oh, yesl and
that is not all have seen.
One girl goes to another and says, oh
Maude, is my sash all right? and MaTde
says, "Just a minute, Kitty, DEAR" and
meanwhile she fixes" the sash crooked
and then "Kittie, dear" says, "Maudie,
your rouge has smudged," and she VETS
a bit of handkerchief, puts it over her
finger and scrubs little white place
right in the midst of Maudie's cheek,
and then the two girls look happy and
run away from each other, and set the
men looking at the ruin they have
wrought. Oh, it just makes my heart
ache!-Cor. Cleveland Leader

A Woman Woo. Can Shoot.

Miss Leale, from Guernsey, occupies
the proud position of being the only lady
to share with the Princess of Wales the
distinction of discharging real rifle at
a real target across Bisley common, but,
unlike her royal highness, she sighted
her own weapon, held it in soldierly
fashion to her shoulder and scored thirty
points out of a possible thirty.five in
competition with trained rihemen. She
is a member of the association, and was
taking part in a contest restricted to
members. Her father is surgeon major
to the Channel Islands militia, and Miss
Leale is evidently familiar with the Mar
tini-Henry, which she handled to such
purpose. Although only nineteen years
of age, she has already taken more than
one prize in her native island, In shoot
ing she occupied a sitting POSITION

Advice to an Engaged Couple,

Mr. EDIToR-The young man l have PROM
ised to marry and whom love fondly says we
must be married in August or not for an III.
definite period and insist on marrying in Oc-
tober. Which of US should yield?
CHARLOTTE.
Neither, by no means. You have not
got enough sense between you to get
married. You continue to insist on Oc-
tober and let him have August. 1t is
easier to break an engagement than to
get divorce, and one or the other is
bound to be your luck What do you
want to be such idiots for, any how?
Were you born that way, or is it ac-
quired? Go away to an institute for the
feebleminded for about year aud then
write again. Run along now, both of
you.-Detroit Free Press.

Homs nressm liking.

/ home dressmaking and home millinery
seem to be becoming more and more
common. Some attribute this to the ex-
trayagant prices asked by the best known
dressmaking establishments, others to
the increasing facilities through the pa
pers and recently established dressmak-
ing classes for acquiring scientific knowl-
| edge of how garments should be made
Be that as it may, every woman of the
middle class at least can count among
her friends several who cut and make
their own gowns, and these same are apt
to be very becomingly dressed.
The art exchanges, seeing the need
and demand for course of practical
demonstrations in dressmaking, last
winter. engaged a competent dressmaker
to give lessons in cutting and fitting.
About the same methods were employed
as were so successful at Pratt's institute,
the only difference being that the classes
are smaller, being limited to a certain
number The woman manager of a
New York city exchange told me she
was surprised to see that wealthy ladies
took advantage of the opportunity thus
afforded. Just the same in Brooklyn
many of those attending Pratt are wom-
en-, who can afford to pay to have their
dresses made, but find it pleasanter and
more convenient to be able to do the
work themselves. Homemade dresses
affect the family economy as much as
homemade bread
A woman who has been in the habit
of ordering the kind of dress she de,
sired at big establishment, without any
of the trouble of selecting material, lin
ings and trimmings, was rather shocked
herself recently when the bill for plain
black brilliantine travelling dress was
found to be eighty dollars She was
still further shocked, when she looked
into the matter, to discover that the
materials could not, at the most, have
cost over fifteen dollars, and might have
been procured for ten dollars. There
are plenty of women, however, who pre-.
fer to pay big sum like this and have
the satisfaction of knowing that GER
tain name is printed on bit Of black
satin on the inside, but there are also
plenty Of others who do not care fig
for the printed tag and who enjoy get.
ting up their gowns just as cheaply as
possible.-Brooklyn Eagle.

scenery versus Canned Goods.

Puget sound papers are now debating
TIE adyisabil;ty of securing the enact
ment of law which shall suspend the
business of clearing during the sum-
mer season in order that tourists may
see the beautiful scenery of the sound.
It seems that the work of burning under
brush, which can only be carried on ad-
vantageously in the summer. creates an
immense volume of smoke The general
sentiment appears to be against the
tourists, as the people argue that if the
clearing was stopped they would all have

An Odd Couple Welded,


The wedding at Berlin of Mai Ma, a
Sialnese gentleman, son of the governor
Of ChantetrOn, and Fraulin Schultz, the
daughter of Il cigar manufacturer, is the
affair which now most interests the

He thought it impossible for Protestant
lady to enter as daughter house con-
secrated to Buddha. However, he has
been brought round and the happy
couple are soon to proceed to Bangkok,

them hearty welcome. European men

She Blooms PerenniaIly.

We have lately had hard times in the
west The rich have been compelled to
curtail expenses and the poor have often
suffered Salaries of young men have
gone gradually down until the articles
OF fashion in the east find little sale
here, Everybody shows some evidence
of the hard times through which the
country has passed and out of which it
is just now emerging, with the excep-
tiun Of the summer girl. Through all
tie days of trial, when the scorching
winds wilted the stately cornstalk to an
carly grave, she has been with US in all
her radiant glory. The growth of the
ru.I5 on her sleeves and shoulders are
not affected by shrinking
purses; the size and quality of her head
gear have not diminished, and her sweet
smile bears no mark of pain. Trouble
slips OFF her sateen back without leaving
tie slightest stain Watch her course
AID YOU will discover that nothing but
faxes her; she cares nothing
for hard times. -Atchison Globe.
