ROYAL MOURNING.

rev persons can understand what time and
words are wasted over the etiquette Of royal
mourning; whether it shall be worn for seven
days or fourteen for the prince Of q neighbor-
ing state, and whether a court may wear mourn
ing concurrently for two or three princes or
whether each must be honored with q separate
term OF mourning. As nearly all the royal
families OF Europe are more or less related. the
custom of cumulative mourning has been
adopted, otherwise they would never be out of
plack. Nowadays no official notice is taken of
a royal death until the formal announcement
has been made by an envoy. Then, if several
deaths had occurred. it is arranged that thew
shall all be announced on the same day. which
is rather an ingenious way Of reducing the
length OF time necessary for indulging in such
ridiculous bit of royal tomfoolery

THE PARLIAMENT OF RELIGIONS.

! CHICAGO, Sept 1l-An event of world
| wide interest, never before accomplished,
| took place here today. 1t was the assem-
bling of IA parliament of religions-a
| gathering of representatives OF all the
great beliefs of the world. The object Is
| to show how important are those things
upon which all are agreed and how com
| paratively unimportant are the differences
of creed. Long before the appointed hour
oe meeting ingress was impossible to the
spacious palace on the lake front where
the congress WAS to convene. No such
immense crowd had gathered before
during all the memorable series OF con-
gresses since the beginning OF the worlds
fair. Aside from the size of the crowd, 1t
was even more distinguished by its cosmo-
politanism, which some of the enthusiastic
participants declared never had been eX
ceeded, even from the beginning OF the
world itself. Brilliant costumes OF the
Orient mingled in picturesque array with
apparel betokehing the prominence OF. the
wearers in the high religious councils OF
Europe and America.
After Cordinal Gibbons had pronounced
the invocation President BOnney of the
worlds congress auxiliary made the wei
coming address. Following his came adj
dresses by Rev. John II. Barrows of the
First Presbyterian church of Chicago,
president of the parliament of religions;
Rev. August J. Chaplin, D. D.; Archbishop
p. A. Feehau, Rev. Alexander Mckenzie,
ID. D.. and President Hginbotham of the
worlds fair. Responses were made by
Cardinal Gibbons, Arch bishop Redwood
of New Zealand, Count Bornestorff of
Berlin, Most Rev Dionysins Latas. arch
bishop OF Zante Greece; Carl Won Bergen.
Ph. D., of Sweden, and represent atiyes
from India, Chill, Canada and Bombay.
The day was practically taken up by
these addresses
1t was an inspiring spectacle that was
presented when the principal party OF
those who were to make the addresses of
the day. all attired in their priestly robes,
and wearing their insignia of Office.
marched in peace and fellowship to the
platform, while the audience rose and
cheered. First came Cardinal Gibbons,
escorted by President Bonnev. Then
came Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs.
Charles Henrotin, representing the worlds
fair board of lady managers, and then
following, with their suites: Archbishop
Redwood OF New Zealand, Archbishop
Dionysius Latas of Zante, Greece, Rev.
John Henry B arrows of Chicago. Arch
bishop Feehan of Chicago DR.. Carl Won
Bergen, Professor c. l. Chanuer, II. D.

One of the most notable of the many ad-
dresses was that of Rev. Augusta j.
half of women. She said that the assem-
blage was among the grandest and most
significant ever assembled on the face of
the earth, at least with its recognition of
women.
Tonight the delegates attended re-
ception at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs, G.. G..

PICTURESQUE PEASANTS.

| Corners of Europe Where Rustics Still Re.
tain Their Antique Costumes.
1t is obvious that a most interesting
and picturesque display might be made
of feminine types and costumes for the
Worlds fair by careful selection from
the peasant girls of the civilized or
semi-civilized world 1t is only among
the rural classes that anything ap-
preaching artistic looking dress is at
present to be found. If we turn to
Italy we must begin by giving up male
| Italians in despair from the artistic
point of view. The slop-shop is king
from the Alps to the Adriatic, and
''store clothes are now the universal
wear, pot hats, suits of ''dttoes"
and ulsters having replaced the ro-
mantle garments in which the people
OF the Sunny Land once rejoiced.
IN the Italian cities also there is lit
tie that is distinctive to be found in
the dress Of the women of the indus
trial orders, while in Rome the pictur-
esquely- women who have been
banished by the police from the steps
of the Trinita del Monti but who still,
with their ragged and quaintly-dressed
little children, fit about the Piazza di
Spagna and the Via Condotti, are, in
great many instances, professional
mendicants who pretend to be artists
models. When the begging season is
at ap end-that is to say, when the
tourists have left the eternal city-the
picturesquely-clad women, with the
white ''fazzoletti" on their heads, re-
tire to their villages to live for awhile
in comfort on the profits of their Roman
solicitations of aims, and there, per-
haps, they may continue to assume
their traditional costumes.
Pretty dresses may also be seen with
frequency in southern Italy, particu-
larly in the villages around the bay of
Naples, in Gala bria and in Sicily The
south of Spain is again a happy hunt
ing-ground for pictorial peasants
dresses The gypsies, too. who swarm
both at Saville and Granada, are sufi-
ciently picturesque. although in the
way of cleanliness and completeness of
garments they leave a good deal to be
desired 1t is perhaps in Switzerland,
the Tyrol. in south Germany, in Aus
tria, in Hungary, in Norway and
throughout southern Europe that pic
turesquely-clad peasant women are
most abundantly in evidence, and the
Americans viii probably be in
tensely interested in the varied
and really e-gladdening gear
assumed by female Hungarians,
Styrians, Wallachians and Dalmatians.
comprising, as the costumes do, lancer
caps, furred pelisses, braided jackets,
baggar trousers. plated pigtails, and
other eccentricities of feminine garb
quite unknown. we should say. in the
happy land of Columbia. 1t is as well
that the Hungarian contingent are to
bring a band Of musicians with them.
as Chicago may be confidently reckoned
upon to go into ecstasies of delight
over the spectacle of Magyar maidens
dancing a national reel in Wellington
boots. Our kinsmen must be satiated
by this time with pink tights, and a
ladies polka in Wellingtons might
prove an exhilarating change.

A SMART DOG.
But He Ran Up Against q Bear . Little
Smarter than He Was.

But He Ran Up Against q Bear Little
Smarter than He Was.
Bears hate dogs beyond anything
else, and will frequently give up good
chance to escape from the hunter for
the satisfaction of waiting for pursu-
ing dog or two and crushing the life
out OF them. Dogs that are not espe-
cially trained to hunt bears are al
most sure to fall victims to bruin' S
vengeful rage on such occasions, and
even experienced and educated bear
dogs not infreeuently overrate their
smartness and fall before some furious
old bear that they have been harrass-
ing and circumventing in the chase.
No dog was ever done up by bear
though IN SO Remarkable a manner as
George Innes' dog Tinker was a few
days ago. says Roulette pa CORE
spondent. George Innes is hunter
who lives in the Mexican county woods,
near the head of Potato creek. His
dog Tinker was considered the best
bear dog in that part OF the state and
Innes did quite a profitable business
with him by hiring him out to hunters,
who depended on his sagacity and
thorough knowledge of the manners
and customs of bears to bring success
to any hunt. No bear had ever sue
ceeded in getting the best OF Tinker in
the slightest degree, and if hunters
he was with came home without their
bear it was never Tinker's fault.
1t is recalled now that once Tinker
had. by his skillful maneuvering,
worked a willy old campaigner of a bear
out OF laurel patch right where enc
OF the waiting hunters was standing
gun in hand. The bear was not five
rods away from him. The hunter fired
both barrels at the bear, which turned
and rushed back into the laurels.
Tinker came bounding out of the
thicket with glad yelps, for he plainly
had expected to find the old bear
stretched Con the ground. When he
jumped into the opening, looked
around, and did not see the bears car
cas-, his glad look gave place to one of
surprise. He stood for moment as if
he could scarcely believe his eyes, and
then turning an angry look on the
hunter he gave him an ugly scowl and
went back home. He was disgusted
that his good work should have been
spoiled by bungling hunter. and he
would never hunt with a party after
that if that particular hunter made
one of it.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN,
Tho Peculiar Wound of q Brave
Union Veteran.
He Has . Large Hole in HIS Forehead
Where a Ball Entcred-Never Free
from Pain and Sometimes
Almost Crazy.

Jacob Miller, an old soldier, tells q
thrilling story of his personal expert
ences in the war, which, in some re.
spects, resemble those OF Newly, or
''Rickety Dan" Miller is native of
Logansport, Ind, but his home is now
at Braidwood, Ill. His age is 80 years,
as near as he can remember in his
present peculiar mental condition.
Between his eyes, in the lower central
part of his forehead, he carries bull
let wound which has never healed, and
through which skillful surgeon is able
to see the pulsations Of his brain.
He enlisted in the war from Logans-
port in 1861, in Company K, Ninth In
diana infantry. His first captain was
W. P. La Sale, and his first colonel
Robert Milroy. Miller received his ter
rihle wound at the battle of Chicka-
nauga, September 10, 1868, while in
the act of firing upon the enemy.
Pierced by a muslset ball between the
eyes, he fell backward and was left
for dead upon the field. He has yet a
distinct recollection of hearing his cap
tain say: ''It's no use to remove poor
Miller, for he is dead"
By the shot one of his eyes was
knocked out of its socket and left
hanging upon his cheek, and the other
was soon SO swollen that he could see
nothing. But he retained conscious
ness, and in this awful plight crawIed
forth from among the dead. after his
comrades had fallen back, and made
his way to field hospital. The next
morning, with great dread of being
taken prisoner by the enemy, he start
ed out to make his way to Chattanooga
on foot. He could only see few feet
ahead of him by holding open the lids
of the swollen eye which had not been
shot out of its socket.
He walked as far as he could and then
lay down by the roadside. Along came
an ambulance, and the driver, finding
