the major fumbling about, tacking his en- sign to the blind with pins, and soon set mine swinging in the cool air of the court. Before we were dressed we heard a boyish tenor yell .'hur-rah," ," and 8 whole family of New Workers, whom I had thought very stiff and conservative in the dining room, were at their windows across the court, waving their handkerchiefs and improvising streamers of red, white and blue, from ribbons belonging to the girls.
 At breakfast we arranged one flag as an escutcheon about vase which the obliging garcon ran to bring, and the oth- CT, held by two dishes, hung down the side of our table-cloth. Many people, hitherto strangers, came to speak on ac- count of the flags, men passing in the court raised their hats to the colors, and to us, and a nervous business man, who was evidently "doing Europe" in a very determined manner, left his wife and came over to us and said: "I beg your par don, but see you are Americans. I am a Californian, and my wife and have secured Paris for just such flags as those. All we could muster yesterday were those small cotton ones." He pointed to his table, where seven tiny flags were stuck into roll taken from the bread plate. "We were bound to show our colors, but I would give ten dollars for flag like yours, to-day. Can you tell me where you found yours?"
 "Yes," answered the major, literally, and thought impudently, but men say those things, "I bought them in Hartford, Connecticut" We all laughed and am sure should have become friends had we not left Paris so soon. Going out upon the boulevards we were quite excited to see many buildings draped with American and French flags, fraternally intermin- gled, while the clubs and the houses of the American legation were, of course, nearly covered with bunting.
 The major became almost unmanagea- ble, and, in company with another violent American, promenaded the streets, salut- ing all such windows. He might have found himself in trouble on account of some blank cartridges which he had provided to make patriotic noise, had not some one warned him that the French stop at that, and advised him to borrow a coach mans whip to snap.
 Leaving for Havre, had beautiful bouquet of red and white pinks and bluets, tied with lovely long ends of red, white and blue satin ribbon, and we fastened in the windows of our compartment, where they Tapped and rippled merrily all the way to the seaport. At Rouen, and sev- eral stations before, we were greeted with cheers, which we acknowledged with great fervor, from our windows Inever supposed l should do such marked and very pronouncedly American things, but the major said he knew that would bust my hide-bound Hartford manners and come out just so, in Europe. should feel more apologetic just now, if it were not so near ''the Fourth" but to-day I am quite capable of crying Hurrah for the dear flag! and God bless the United States!

Hartford Courant: The election of @ Yale trustee resulted, as was expected, in the choice of Judge Rowland, of New York. He is an enthusiastic Yale man, one of cleverest speakers in the country, witty, genial, and in business affairs wise and successful. He will make an excel lent trustee. The vote for Charles D. Hine, of this state, who was the only other candidate, fell but fifty-five behind that cast for Judge Rowland. This surprised those people who had thought it was a walk over for the New York candidate. The explanation of MT. Hines large vote is simple and altogether creditable to him. He is closely identified with the cause of education. No one more so in the whole state. As soon as it was known that he was nominated, people interested in edu- cation went quickly and voluntarily to work to secure for him the votes of their friends. Here and there in many places dozen or half dozen votes were cast for him, and these, together with those of many personal friends, came very near to electing him.
 Neither candidate had "bureau" of the undignified sort that has char acterized some previous elections. The vote for each was willing and spontaneous, and consequently a compliment of genuine and welcome sort. MT. Hine would have da to educational matters gives him especial fitness for the place. Perhaps at some later day he will be elected.
 
 Detroit Free Press: Perhaps the most | conscientious workmanship in the world is to be found in Japan, although the foreign demand for merely showy ,arti- cles has proved somewhat corrupting, even to true artists.

Two Boston women of Nerve.

Two bOsCOn women OF Nerve.
1t is not one time in hundred that a
woman has the forethought and presence
of mind to chase pickpocket and re-
cover her property, instead of screaming
for the police.
There were two such plucky women
on Washington street yesterday after
noon, however. They were near the
crowded corner of Washing ton and Win
ter streets when one of them felt a hand
in her pocket. She made grab for the
hand, but it and her pocketbook were
missing.
With rush she was after the thief,
whoea she grabbed right in the midst Of
team traffic on Washington street, which
was for the time delayed The horses
OF one car thrust their heads against the
woman and her captive. Her friend
was an able second, and laid hand on
the other shoulder of the pickpocket, a
young man some twenty-five years of
age. "You fiend,' cried the other, "give
up that pocketbook!" This was too much
for the fellows nerves, and he quickly
pulled it out and handed it over. The
woman ''le, CO." and the man disap-
peared up the street on dead run, while
the teams once more moved along in un-
broken procession. Boston Journal.

The California Delegation in washin e.
ton Makes Encouraging Reports.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 29.-The execu-
tive committee of the California Miners
association held an executive session
today, there being sixteen mem
bers present. A number of
communications, consisting of tel.
egrams and letters from the delega-
tion at Washington were read and dis
cussed. The letters were from Senator
FELTON,, j. B. Hobson and J. X. Luttrell,
and expressed confidence in the result
OF the present movement.
Mr.. Hobson's communication was
especially interesting, as it went
1ully into the status of the
question in Washington. Under date
OF February 2lst, he wrote that the dele
cation was making good progress among
the members of congress, many OF
whom were promising their support to
the bill favoring an appropriation for
the building of levees and restraining
dams. He expressed great faith in the
influence of Mr.. Luttrell, who gained
their admission to the floor of the house,
though the California delegation were
unable to get them that privilege.
Concerning Senator Stanford, the
writer said that gentleman listened at
tentively to their arguments aud offered
his assistance. He denied that his rail-
road interests would Interfere with his
advocacy of river improvements, and
showed that the latter, by opening
up the country to settlement, would
benefit his interests to a very large ex-
tent. In conclusion, he advised the COM
mittee on what lines to prepare a bill
and promised it his support.
The letter also states that the Cali
fornia delegation were unit on this
matter, and were of the opinion that a
properly drafted bill would 90 through
all right. Senator FELTON, is heart and
soul in the movement.
Robert McMurray will leave tomorrow
to join the delegation in Washington.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 29.-This evening
President Gensberger announced the
Ryan-Needham fight indefinitely post
poned, on account of Ryan being phys
ically unable to appear, owing to throat
troubles.
Several thousand people were griev-
ously disappointed by the postpone
ment. Mr.. Cooper said he went about
noon to see Ryan at his quarters, and
found him suffering from severe sore
throat. Jack Burke and others were
applying poultices. Ryan said if he did
not feel any better he would not be able
to go on this evening, but hoped to i'm
prove; that the doctor had been there
and left prescription. Cooper returned
about 80 and found Ryan apparently
much worse, his throat being much in
famed and with hard tumors on the
outside. Cooper suggested that physi-
clan be seen at once, and took Ryan,
Billy Myer and some Chicago friends in
carriage to see DR.. Hunter. The latter
examined Ryan's throat and found he
was suffering from sore throat and fever.
He gave certificate that Ryan had
tonsillitis with fever, and that it would
require at least two weeks to restore his
health.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Sexes Growing Apart.

A woman complained the other day
that she SO seldom met man socially
she scarcely knew how to talk with
him. II go out constantly" she said,
"but it is to my woman's clubs-I be-
long to three-to luncheons, teas and af-
ternoon receptions. Except occasionally
at dinner party, really converse with
SO few men besides my husband in the
course of a year that can almost count
them on my fingers"
This condition is the result of the
trend of the present system Of entertain
ing. The sexes offer and receive hospi-
tality nowadays as separately almost as
the Quakers seat their congregations.
Dinners and dances seem to be the only
social affairs upon which it is safe to
count upon the presence of men. The
exception, perhaps, is the small proper
ton of the very wealthy and leisure few.
1t 10 no specially new development.
Men have long had their clubs and their
separate amusements, and women staid
at home except at general entertain
ments. Latterly and gradually this has
changed. Teas. luncheons and recep-
tions are monopolized by women and
now that they have their clubs as we'll
the gulf grows wider. A glance at the
list of affairs at which men do not assist
shows thatit is constantly increasing.
These are: Afternoon whist clubs. az
ternoon progressive euchre parties, and
even one, at least, afternoon dancing
class, where male partners are not to be
had Every form of social gathering ex-
cept balls has its few or great afternoon
editions, which mean that men are not
expected. Women's dinners even are
not unknown, though they are not COM
mon and seldom take place at the even
ing dinner hour.
This is even more noticeably true of
smaller places. The average town and
village man is seldom fond of society,"
and he is pleased and relieved that the
women" can have their fetes without
him and leave him undisturbed at shop
or office. 1t is pity, too, for each sex
needs what it gains from social compan-
ionship with the other.-Her Point of
View in New York Times

Licks 5000 Stamps an Hour.

The title CT '.stamp ticker" is not the
most attractive in the world to bestow
upon a young lady, especially when she
is little, pretty and charming. But Miss
Ada M. Crawford is nevertheless a
stamp ticker, and what is more is the
worlds champion in her chosen vocation
Miss Crawford, who has just passed her
eighteenth birthday, is now forewoman
for the E. q. Howe company. Three
years ago she entered the employ Of the
house and at once attracted attention by
the lightning rapidity with which she
addressed, sealed and stamped envel-
opes.
The first time she tried stamping en-
velopes she did 1900 an hour. She can
now do 5000 an hour and has kept this
up steadily for days. Strange to say.
she has persistently declined to use a
sponge. and every one of the millions of
stamps which have carried letters and
circulars to their destinations all over
the country has received dainty lick
from her tongue.
Miss Crawford talked entertainingly
of herself and her work yesterday. "Do
l like the work. she repeated in reply
to question. Indeed do. In fact,
wouldn't do anything else. suppose it
seems very funny that should prefer to
use my tongue instead Of sponge, but
can get along so much better. l can
only do 1900 an hour with sponge, and
can easily do 5000 without it. No, it
doesn't seem to affect my health in the
least I'll tell you a funny thing about
it. If business becomes slack and |
don't have any stamps to lick lose my
appetite and can scarcely eat anything.
But as soon as get down to work again
my appetite returns and l become raw
enously hungry. There seems to be
something in the gum that acts as a
tonic. "-Philadelphia Record.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 29.-This evening
his majesty Rex, king of the carnival
entered his beloved capital amid most
ostentatious display. His reception was
conducted on an elaborate scale. As
soon as his fotilla was sighted every
vessel in the harbor blew its whistles,
while the booming of cannon and blast

His majesty was aboard the royal
yacht Galveston. A parade was then
formed at the head of Canal street and
moved in gorgeous array through the
principal streets to the royal citadel,
where his majesty was presented with
the keys, and the line proceeded to
the Hotel Royal, where an informal

and his crew tonight appeared on the
