Sudden Desth.

Mrs. NJ. G. Rogers, relict of the late Mr.
Alex Rogers and mother of Mrs. W. Birg.
field. died suddenly Thursday morning al
about half past o'clock. She was taken
suddenly sick about 5 o'clock, and
word was sent to DIR. o. C. Hollister. He
Immediately repaired to the residence OF
Prof. Birgteld, with whom she was living;
but she was dead when he arrived. As
the doctor was entering the house he could
hear her heavily breathing; but she ex-
pired before he could gaIn the room where
she lay. The cause Of death was apolexy,
which usually terminates fatally in short
time. She was aged about so years, and
has resided in this vicinity for long num-
ber of years. Mrs Rogers leaves two
daughters-both married-and two sons to
mourn her sudden departure. Highly re.
spected as an intelligent lady by her ac-
quaintances, her demise will be mourned hy

think his race is about run. When l was
trying to settle up with him the past week
what did they mean when was approached
by one of them and asked, if I would keep
my mouth shut if they would get my money
for me. Why keep my mouth shut if
things were all right? That savors of ''ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain" on
the part of Taylor and all the rest or the
Bros. Some OF these dear Bros, who have
invested so heavily, had their stock given
to them. Taylor defrauded me out of S33s.
Said he never owed it to me, and In paper
hold signed by his representative, after
swlDdling me out of my two silica claims,
he (Taylor) says, on the sale of these silica
claims l will pay yon from the proceeds the
sum of $685. Why does he give it to me if
he don't owe it? Why not give it to Tom,
Dick or Harry? This whole business is rot
ten to the core, and day will shortly come
when you will hear something ''drap."

LADY ANALYSTS.
They Play the same Tricks Kes0ried
TO Here and Get Caught

The Portland Oregonian gives the follow.
ing amusing account of lady expert, or can.
vasser, who was playing the house-to-h house
sample test dodge in that city:
The city for several days has been can
vassed by a company of women who have
called at private residences for the ostensible
purpose of explaining the superior merits of
their baking powder through series of al
legged chemical experiments. A lady who
has been annoyed by the agents determined
to test the efficacy of the experiments, and she
brought out some of the baking powder which
they are advertising. The agent submitted
the substance to the usual tests and called the
lady's attention to the presence of alum, am
monla and various other alleged ingredients,
which could be distinguished by the peculiar
odor, the residum, etc. The lady of course
saw all these urmistakable signs of so-called
and allowed the agent full swing
to expand upon the merits of her own cook
ing powder. The agent finally inquired of
he lady what brand of baking powder she
had been experimenting with. "That baking
powder" replied the lady, SIS the same that
you have been cracking up so high" The
lgent turned all colors, and beat a hasty re-
reat. Our informant has not been bothered
With baking powder agents since.

The Seaside Bang.

Seaside bangs" said the sign, "two
dollars"
"What are the bangs?" asked re-
porter, looking into case of fluffy
looking appendages in a store in West
Twenty-third street.
"When lady goes in bathing" said
the clerk, 'she naturally gets her hair
all out of shape. She hates to appear
among her friends looking like fright,
so she claps on bit of artificial tuft in
front, nicely curled-the seaside bang"
"And it is always in curlY'
at is. The seaside bang will deceive
the wariest husband. tits great sell,
er. No girl who goes to the surf can af-
ford to be without them. When she
comes out Of the water, and while she is
lolling around in the sand, her maid
slips her the false front; she turns to the
wild waves, quickly adjusts it under
meath the brim of her wide straw and
the next moment, as her sweetheart
strolls down beside her, he-the poor
dunce-makes mental comments on the
beauty of her locks, not dreaming that
her real hair is wet and soppy as soft
soap and frightfully unpresentable. The
dripping hair is all right and poetical
enough in the water, but our girls have
learned that it is a horror on the beach. I"
Then it is great bean catcher, too,
eh?"
Before the clerk could answer in came
a great, numbering woman, who came
very close to the counter, leaned far
over and whispered something in the
clerks ear. The clerk smiled sweetly,
wrapped something in dark bit of pa
per and the fat lady left, pleased ex-
preston all over her face.
She was preparing to lay some poor
dude cold at the beach.-New York

A Daring Girl Rider.

There is rider in this part of Texas
who is greatly out of the ordinary, and
whose riding is the comment Of even
this section, where good riding is the
rule and not the exception.
The rider is a girl, "Broncho Kate. "
She is the daughter of a cattleman and
has been all her life on the plains with
the cowboys, and could ride u horse
when she was three years old. She is
the idol OF every cattleman on the range,
and when Kate wants horse there is
not man in the country but would
walk if she would only take his animal.
Kate Chapman is but sixteen years
old. but she is undoubtedly the most
fearless rider in the world. She never
hesitates an instant about getting on the
widest and most vicious animal on the
range, and it makes no difference TO her
whether it has ever had saddle on or
not. Her latest escapade was to ride
and break in a mustang which had the
reputation Of being man killer. This
animal is especially vicious, and not
only throws its rider, but goes after him

A Clever Rifle Woman.

Miss Leale, the Guernsey "lady shot"
who distinguished herself last year at
Bisley, is adding to her first laurels.
Thursday she was again among the rife
men ON Bisley common, trying her hand
at 200 yards, and in three shots putting
on a magpie and a brace of inners. The
"chit of girl" az her admiring col
leagues of the National Rife association
called her, evidently "means business
when she enters the ranks of marks
men. Miss Leale is tall, slight girl of
twenty-one, fair haired and of healthy
complexion, neatly but very simply
dressed, and perfectly natural and easy
in manner. She believes in "a fair field
and no favor" and scorns to accept any
advantage in the way of rifle below
the regulation weight, or any other priv
ilege, because she happens to be wom-
an.-Pall Mall Budget.

Kate had been wanting to ride this

on the range opposed it and did all in
his power to prevent it. The girl was
not to be baflled, however, and catching
the horse in a corral she saddled him,
She then blindfolded him, and in this
condition forced him out ON the open

WOMAN'S WORLD.
A SIMPLE APPETlzlNG METHOD OF
PRESERVING FRUIT.

ing Girl Rider-The Seaside Bang-Th,
Summer Beauty-A Defense of tn.
Trailing Gown-A Massachusetts Law.
With the preserving season upon us, a
few words on jam and jelly making may
be of interest to a good many people
especially to those who have the care OF
invalids. With the increased attention
bestowed on sanitary matters. the ques.
ton of diet has grown immensely in i'm.
portance, and the regulation of the sick.
room food is now looked on as scarcely
second to the system of medicine to be
followed. Now no question has been
more fiercely debated than the whole.
someness of sugar. Without going the
length of some enthusiasts, who look on
sugar as only one degree removed from
poison, there are undoubtedly cases in
which its use is most deleterious, and to
such sufferers the recently introduced
sweetening agent, saccharin, is of pri.
mary Importance.
Saccharin has been adapted TO culinary
use in many ways, but up till quite late
ly there did not seem to be any method
of utilizing it for the production of those
jams and jellies which are such well
come additions to the breakfast table Of
daily life or the sickroom. Now as
nothing is more depressing to invalids
than the perpetual restrictions in small
things which remind them necessarily
of their invalid condition, so anything
that assimilates their manner of life, in
diet especially, to that of their surround
ings must be of value. Acting on this
idea some experiments have been made
that fully display the use of saccharin,
events, and from this to jam making is
but a step.
The process is a simple one, and can
with little care be carried out in any
kitchen. The method of proceeding is
as follows: From four gallons of water
take quart, boil it, adding to it gradu-
ally, little at time, l a ounces of sac
charm, and when this is thoroughly dis
solved return the quart of sweetened
water TO the remainder of the four gal
Ions of water. The usual fruit preserv-
ing bottles are then filled about an inch
or so deep with this sweetened liquid
and the fruit of whatever kind dropped
in till the bottles are filled right up to
the shoulder.
These bottles are then filled up with
the rest of the sweetened water; the
corks are driven in and covered over in
the usual way, to insure their contents
being perfectly alright; the bottles are
then set in large pan, with water
within bare half inch of the top of
the bottles; this water is then heated
to a temperature of $50 dogs. Fair,
and kept at this heat Tor about 215
hours, when the pan, with the bot
ties, is lifted off the fire, and the water
fruit, ETC., allowed to cool together for
an hour and a half. The bottles are
then taken out of the water, allowed to
stand till next day, when they are put
away, care being taken to pack them
lying on their sides.
Fruit thus preserved is ready for i'm
mediate use if necessary, or keeps as well
as fruit preserved in the usual manner;
indeed it is said to be superior to the
latter both in appearance and favor,
the liquid in which it is preserved being
especially good.-London Queen.

The Girls Who Wear suspenders.

The girl with suspenders is becoming
so prevalent on the thoroughfares of
this city that when one meets a young
woman who doesn't wear them he is apt
to wonder why she has left them at
home. He will even turn around and
look after the girl in amazement unable
to conjecture why she is not in line
with the great majority, who heretofore
have bordered dangerously on the do
main of mans wearing apparel by dom
ming shirts and collars, but who never
before have come quite so near toward
wearing the trousers" 1t is useless to
resent the innovation. for il has been
truly said that when woman will she
will, and when she won't she won't. At
present she will wear suspenders and
she won't listen to you when you tell her
that she is encroaching on your rights.
The only hope for relief is that, as in
many other matters, her fancy will
weary of suspenders, which have their
drawbacks, what with breaking and
buttons coming off, and that she will
discard them of her own sweet will
The strangest part is that she seems
to be wearing them simply for the fun
of it, for they don't seem to hold up
anything and always look slack, as
though there was no weight upon them.
1t is also remarkable that it is not the
women who are calling for the emanci-
patton of their sex who are wearing sus-
penders; it is not those women who
would like to go out and hustle for a
living while you stay at home and take
care of the baby; it is not those persistent
lobbyists who haunt the legislature
while their bill providing for women
voting is being politely and courteously
killed. On the contrary, it seems to be
the sweet faced maidens of our towns
who have adopted them; dainty, girlish
creatures who play the piano or the
typewriter and read Browning; who
cling wistfully and with submissive ten
derness to masculine strength; who are
the tender vines that Irvine around the
oak. They seem TO be wearing suspend
ers in spirit of defiance, for as they
walk airily down the avenue swinging
their arms their faces are lighted up
with saucy smile, as though saying:
"Well, how do you like it? Do they
look becomingF-Detroit Free Press.
