SToCKs-There was q slight increase in
the dealings on the Stock Exchange to-dsy,
which was entirely due 10 purchases for
the London account. A very active buying
movement was developed in General Elec-
tric, which was accompanied by rumorS OF
the formation Of pool. Sugar was freely
sold during the early dealings. Inc
moving influence was, Of course, the
tariff, which 1t is claimed gives the Ger

more remote than Iceland were the
amazement of stay-at-home folks, and
when Lady Franklins ceaseless Jour
news with her niece, Miss Cracroft,
were more talked about than nova
days, when the female tourist is met

ears have robbed the more beaten tracks
of any terror--or any hardship, indeed
and the stories of one Homecoming
tourist send forth dozen more eager
to initiate or surpass her achievements.
Wherever she goes the lady traveller
has a way of making herself amaz-
ingly at home and obtaining courtesies
which are denied TO the sterner sex.

ually from the waist down, and fall
gracefully on the horses sides, con-
cealing the feet, stirrup and all. The
waist Of the habit is like that of an
ordinary dress. Il dainty cap COM
pletes the costume.
The young woman may be seen rid
ing any fine morning. She does not
seek the scclusion of the side streets
and by-ways, but rides in the business
streets and in the finest residence dis
tricts. 1t is IN uncommon sight, ana
many people on their way to business
stop and stare at the rider as II eN-
pecting some maneuver of Il circus ma
turc. The young woman rides as II
born to the saddle, and it is evident
that she greatly enjoys her morning
exercise. AS yet she has had no
imitators here.

Don't Throw Rice,

Speaking of weddings, reminds me to
warn enthusiastic friends to be careful
where they throw their rice on such
occasions. l heard the other day OF
bridegroom-a young, very handsome
and popular man-whOse eyes were so
much injured by careless rice-throwing
that he nas become totally blind, with
out hope OF cure. One would think that
the thoughtlcss "well-wishcrs' who
caused the accident must be burdened
with lifelong regret How much bet
ter It would be if guests ut weddings
would adopt the pretty custom Of show
ering rose leaves upon bride and bride
groom. Surely nothing could more
gracefully convey wishes for rosy
future" while at IT, same time no
danger or annoyance could possibly re
suit. l earnestly hope that prospective
brides will take this warning to heart,
and request their friends to abandon
the practice Of rice-throwing.

SEVERAL TRAINS WRECKED.
Two Men KTIed-45O Passengers in a Bad
Wreck and not One Killed.

Two Men KilIed-45O Passengers in Bad
Wreck and not One Killed.
The first section of the New York
and Chicago limited express on the
Fort Wayne road was wrecked at
Wellsville, Ohio Two trainmen were
killed instantly and four others were
injured, two of whom will die. The
passengers were thrown from their
berths by the shock, but escaped with
slight bruises and bad fright Owing
to freight wreck on the Fort Wayne
road the limited was Obliged TO go into
Pittsburg over the Pittsburg d Cleve-
land track. Near Wellsvile the fog
was very heavy and it was impossible
TO see any considerable distance. Sud
denly through the fog, scarcely 100
feet ahead, the engineer OF the limited
saw the lights of "a train standing on
the track on which his train was run
ming. lie reversed, put on the air, but
all too late, and before he or his fire.
man could jump the engine crashed
into the freight and their two lives
were crushed out.
The westbound Chicago limited on
the Wabash road left the track one
mile south of Nameoki, H., resulting
in the injury of some 30 people. When
NduuCOhl nttN btth pdoSSh VIC bhS iiiCNi
put on steam and the train was going
40 miles an hour when there was
sudden lar. followed by the slowing of
the train. The rails had spread behind
the locomotive and the cars following,
went over a siX-foot embankment.
The buffet car behind the baggage
car, swung across the track and the
gas tank exploded, setting fire TO the
first chair car and the buffet car,
which were consumed. Out of the $50
people in the wreck not one was
killed.
A serious accident occurred in the
yard of the Pennsylvania railroad near
Altoona, Pa. Seventeen men were
seriously injured and in a number of
instances their injuries may prove
fatal. A work train, consisting of Sn
engine and one car, in which were 10
men, was crossing the switches when
it was run into by a coal train which
was running at a high rate of speed.
, The car containing the men was deDlol-
ished and the stove upset. The car
caught fire and a number of the men
came out from the debris with their
clothing ignited. After some difficulty
the fire was eXtinguished.
A heavy freight train on the Fort
Wayne road parted and came together
again at Beaver Falls. Pa, and twelve
cars of corn, lime, lumber and sand
were totally wrecked. The depot shed,
platform and telegraph station were
demolished, and Operator Elmer Lyons,
of Rochester, badly injured. Two
tramps, who were stealing n ride on
the freight, were buried under the de-
bris and fatally injured.

When care is taken in preparing, his
is Il handsome and sure dish. Three

half tablespoonfuls of corn-starch, one
teaspoOnful of salt, one tablespoonful
of butter. Put the omelet-pan and n
cover that will fit closely on to heat.
Beat well together the yolks Of the
eggs, the corn-starch and the salt; beat
the whites to Il stiff froth, add to the
well-beaten yolks and cOrn-starch
Stir all together thoroughly ana add
the milk. Put the butter in the hot
pan; when melted pour in the mixture
cover and place on the stove where IT
will brown but not burn. Cook about
seven minutes. fold, turn on hot 0isl.
and serve with cream sauce poured
around il. IF the yollls and corn-starch
are thoroughly beaten, and if, when the
stiff whites are added, they are well
mixed, and the cover and pan are very
hot, there can hardly be failure.

The famous Bartholdi fountain that
was exhibited at the Centennial is now
hidden away amid the foliage of the
botanic garden grounds in Washing

be rescued from its hiding place and
put up in the wide space north of the
entrance to the state, war and navy
building, opposite the Corcoran art
gallery.
