FAIR DRINKERS OF GOTHAM.
Vanilla Soda. Pop. vichy and Lime Juice
Have Their Notarics.

Have Their Notarics.
The New York girl is hard but harm
less drinller. For some unknown reason
she is always thirsty, and the character
of her beverage depends on the locality
in which she happens to be. Take the
Bowery belle, for instance, and nothing
suits her better than bumper of ginger
pop. She drinks it whenever she can get
it, regardless of the weather, longing
for more heightening her enjoyment.
Ask the druggists in Center street and
Park row what the favorite drink with
the blithesome young women who come
from the mercantile offices in Nassau,
Wall and Fulton streets at noon and
night, and they will tell you root beer
About the Battery the fair tippler's first
choice is sarsaparilla pop and lemon soda
second.
A druggist in lower Broadway, not far
from st. Pauls, who Stacks the thirst of
the cosmopolitan girl, says that her pref
erence is divided among three distinct
drinks, viz, vanilla soda, lime juice and
cocoa malt. OF the trio vanilla is most
popular, but it is a remarkable fact
that the lover of lime juice dis
tinguishes the bTainy young women,
and the malt the women who are
in training The lime drinkers wear
glasses as rule and silver watches;
they are quiet, quick, preoccupied and
self assertive, without being audacious.
The girls who call for malt are square
shouldered, bright eyed, nimble footed
and alert young women, who breathe
away down in the belt region and swing
their arms when they walk; while the
vanilla girl is jockey sort of creature,
partial to the shirt and blazer, who
wears four-in-hand, carries her gloves
in her left hand and elbows her way up
to the fountain no matter how many
men encircle it. She is CHEEKY and chic,
has a spare smile for the soda clerk and
a jaunty way Of Tipping the check on

In West Fourteenth street the femin-
inc drink is chocolate soda, with plenty
of ice cream, while the damsel who sips
at the fountains about Union square

The advanced drinkers Of Central Park
and Madison avenue call for mineral
water-the former vichy and the avenue
maiden settler. Clubwomen drink a
great deal of apollinaris, and the Sorosis
set take half claret with the water.
Parenthetically the Sorosis girls are not
as fond of icewater as they pretend to

In the early part Of May some plate
firing took place on board the English
man-of-war Nettle, which brings up
subject of the greatest Importance
namely, the possibility of making armor
such as viii break up the splendid forged
steel projectiles which have hitherto
held together almost without exception
The result Of the Nettle and other recent
tests goes to show that plates are now
made with faces so hard as to defeat
forged steel, and that it appears possible
that steel faced armor in the future may
dispose of them in the manner that
Schneider admits such plates defeat in
different projectiles.-New York Tele-

Arrangements are being made for car
rying out scheme proposed by Mr. Nc
Neil. of Londonderry, for the more
efficient despatch of telegraphic COM
munication between Tory Island and the
mainland, which promise to be of great
advantage to ship owners and home
ward bound passengers. 1t is proposed
that steamers passing on either side Of
Tory Island will throw overheard recep-
tacles something like small buoy, con-
tanning the messages to be sent by tele-
graph and boats crew will be in read
mess to pick them up and convey them
to the nearest telegraph Office. BY this
means it will be possible for passenger
to intimate his arrival to his friends
twenty-four hours before he could do SO
now from Liverpool, and twenty hours
before he could do so from any port on
the Clyde The matter has been taken
up by Lloyd's committee. who under
take to forward passengers kilograms at
minimum of Is. each and ship owners

The vexing and much vexed question,
What is the legal definition Of a bay
window? seems to be drawing toward a
solution. How many windows shall
bay window containy' is the point made.
These windows are all built of frame,
and the difficulty with the inspectors is
to keep builders from overstepping their
legal rights and constructing frame
back buildings under the disguise of
"bay windows" The claim is made
that bay window must be all windows
that is, windows on the front and
sides: others think that window on the
front is all that is necessary. The lat
ter view is taken by the builders of
houses in rows where the bay windows
of adjoining houses are 50 close as to
prevent the possibility of privacy
One builder who is building a row of
houses in the upper section of the
city thinks the law is doing him
wrong by compelling him to put three
windows in his bay windows, which ad-
join each other in pairs, divided by
brick wall. He is not expected to put a
window in the brick wall. but in the
framework opposite, adding to the ex-
pense Of the house and altering the
shape of the room. The main reason
for compelling builders to construct
windows on all sides of the bay is pre-
vention against fire. This argument is
answered by the builders, who say that
the frame apartments having the least
number of windows burn the slowest.
When windows become broken the
draught is greatly increased, conse-
quently the danger is aggravated. To
the looseness Of the building laws many
of the complications constantly arising
can be attributed. The ordinance of
1882 to regulate the erection of oriel or
bay windows throws no light whatever
on the subject. While the ordinance
regulates the construction of front bay
windows. not a word is said about those
on the rear of buildings. Philadelphia

A Strange MaIrormation.

Boise county, Idaho, has sheep that
is the property of James Johnston, of
Round Valley, and was year old on
the 22d of May. 1t has but two legs,
both ON the hinder part of the body, and
constantly walks erect, much after the
manner of a kangaroo. The legs and
tail are smooth as those of a dog, not
showing the least trace of wool. The
head is woolly and is provided with but
one eye. which solitary optic is set in the
center of the head. The neck has good
showing Of feathers resembling those Of
the guinea fowl. The shoulders and
place where the forelegs should be are
as woolly as the head, extending back to
where the smooth, doglike hair begins.

Recovering a Diamond RING.

Tuesday a gentleman, stranger in
these parts. had occasion to cross the
Huntington bridge, and was accompan-
led by friend. When midway of the
bridge he pulled large and valuable
diamond ring from the little finger of his
left hand to exhibit TO his friend. In
handing the ring over it slipped from his
hand and fell. and striking the floor
bounded into the river. The friend stood
where the ring fell till its owner went
and secured the services of several men
to dive in after it. He found two who
upon the offer of handsome pay for their
services consented to attempt the rescue.
They went out in boat and after many
attempts secured the ring, which was in
turn handed over to its owner. He paid
the promised sum and went on his way
rejoicing. Hartford Courant.

The West Chester, Pa, Local News
reports that Truman Forsythe, of that
village, few days ago found in his cell
lar potato of last years crop that had
two small ones growing inside of it.
There were no sprouts whatever on the
outside, but the potato was burst open
at each end. and there projecting were
the ends of two well formed and healthy
looking young tubers. The larger one was
about the size of walnut. Potatoes
often form ON the outside of old ones in
cellars this time of the year, but that the
growth should take place inside is some
thing of novelty and only one or two
persons to whom the ''curio" was shown
could recall having seen the like before.

Fans Create Trouble in Church.

The ladies of the NJ E. church at Me-
anicsburg, o., are in dilemma. 1t is
rather warm out there and they have
been taking their fans to church Sun
days. Now the minister objects to their
use and claims that the force of his SER
mon is lost in their use and in the flirt-
ing with them. One night last week he
delivered a special sermon on topic of
great profundity. A large audience was
present, and he started out to make one
of the great efforts of his life. The cease
less movement of the fans annoyed him,
andhe cast nervous chances around every
now and then. Finally he stopped and
broke forth: 81 want you to quit using
those fans. 1t is impossible to preach
with any effect while they are in opera
ton. Think of the North pole and ice
bergs and look at me-" The congrega-
ton, it is understood, is celebrating on
the advisability of asking for his resig-

The alarm about cholera has van
ished, and trade in every direction
shows all the improvement that was ex-
pected. The south is little dull be-
cause cotton is low in price and late,
but little Improvement has been seen
during the past week. In few quar-
ters at the west farmers are holding
back wheat for higher prices, so that
collections are retarded, but the general
tenor of advices is exceedingly favor
able. The volume of business continues
larger than year ago. Collections are
exceptionally good on the whole, and
although money is inactive and in
increasing demand at nearly all points,
the supply is ample for all Legitimate
needs. Gold exports have ceased, for
eign exchange has declined, and the
money market is at present without
disturbing features.
Speculations is not on the whole
active enough to have a disturbing in
nuence. Wheat has recovered &c, but
sales here have been only 5000. 900
bushels Western receipts in four days
nave been 800, 900 bushels, while the
exports from Atlantic ports have been
953, coo bushels Foreign advices no
longer promise an unusual demand.
Corn has declined 214c, and oats &c.
Speculation in cotton has been larger,
sales reaching 75O,OOO bales. and the
price has been advanced 3-1G by the
covering of short sales.
Hog products are shade stronger,
but oil is 15c lower. and in coffee. specu
lation has advanced the price 11ic.

SYNAGOGUE SCARE.
a Senseless Panic Causes Loss of Life in
New York.


New York.
New YORK Sept, 24-In a senseless
panic in Ludlow street synagogues,
crowded with Hebrew new year festi-
val service attendants, four women
! were trampled to death this morning
and nine persons, SO far as known,
more or less badly injured.
The panic was caused by some per-
son yelling fire" when candle fell
over on the pulpit and set fire to bit
of drapery. The congregation stam-
peded Immediately.
Two other synagogues in the build
ing were crowded and the worshippers
heard the rush up stairs and Joined in
it. When the three streams of wildly
desperate men and women met on the
narrow stairs a struggle resulted in
which the women went down under the
rush of the frenzied men and life was
trodden out of them.
The scene of the tragedy was the six
story tenement, 81 Ludlow street, with
synagogue on each one of the first,
second and third floors, connected by
narrow flights of stairs. 1t was in the
where the congregation Talmud Torch
met that the panic began. This, like
the others, is n plain room filed
with wooden benches, a partition di-
viding it in the middle. In the parti-
ton is a door just the width of two
boards, and through this those who
were in front had to pass to get within
sight of the stairs. At the partition
door there was jam then n crash and
part of it gave way. The mass fell or
rolled down the steep stairway.
More than 1000 people in the building
heard the rush and the crash overhead
and with a common impulse ran for the
stairs. At the second floor landing there
is a sharp turn. There again the mass
stuck for n moment, but worked loose
presently and the two maddeucd masses
met, the one coming down stairs, the
other cutting in under it and trying to
get ahead. A furious struggle ensued,
men and women fighting with madness.
On the lower floor the mad mass
brought up against the rush from the
lower synagogue, the largest OF all, and
all came to a dead stop
Some person in the street had enough
presence of mind to send out a fire
alarm which brought the department
to the scene and the firemcn succeeded
in extricating the people from the
blocked stairway.
When all had been cleared out four
women lay dead on the stairs and nine
more or less badly injured. These were
sent to the Gouverneur hospital.
Some one threw the candle that had
caused all the trouble out of the win
dow and nnt an end to the fire
