GOLD MEDALS.

correspondents Sblu.
Miss Lucia Parker, Of Abbeville, South Car
olina. promises TO distinguish herself at Mad
am LaFabes young ladies' seminary, in Bal
timore, during the present week, by winning
three gold medals. Miss Parker is one of the
brightest and most attractive students In a
school Of about sixty young ladies, and her
schoolmates all concede that she has won her
honors fairly. The principal medal to be be-
slowed upon her is for excellence In music,
one OF the richest trophies competed for.
Madame LaFabe's seminary is one OF the best
known institutions In this vicinity. and tn e
daughters of many OF the most distinguished
families in the North and South are educated
there.
Among Miss Parker's schoolmates are the
daughters Of Senator German, Of Maryland. a
niece OF Ex-Governor Jackson and the grand
daughter of Ex-President Polk. Those who
have heard Miss Parker perform upon the pi-
ano say she displays rare plshments In
that line. and they anticp pate for her prom
ising future In musical circles. She has two
brothers, who are equally talented, one OF
them Is now at the Naval Academy. and the
other is at West Point Thus 1t appears that
the Parker family not only promises to dis.
tlnguish itself In music, but also in the army
and navy.
Miss Lucia Parker's three medals were for
Music, French and German.

BERLIN, June 10.-At the general cleo
ton for members of the reiehstag Thurs-
day, next, and the bye elections sure to
be required, 397 members OF the house,
the full complement, will be returned.
The present week closed with $50 candi-
dates in the field. Not only new aspi-
rants for seats, but new political factions
appear daily, and as election day draws
gradually near, confusion grows more
confounded. Instead of the eight recog-
nized parties in the late reichstag hold
ing the electoral field in the present
campaign there are about 20 sec
tions, each fighting for its own
programme. Among the latest
Developments in the political sit
uation is breakup among the anti
Semites. The Jew-baiters now consist
of three distinct factions. The final re-
suits must depend on political combi-
nations on reballots. Everything prom
lees that the new reichstag will be the
most motley parliament known to his
tory.
The report that congress will consider
the currency question in September,
creates lively interest in financial circles
here, and more so in Austria. Austria
and Hungary still require 120, 200, 900
forins in gold to complete their curren-
cy conversion. The prospect of the
United States draining gold from Europe
excites anxiety among the Rothschild
syndicate which is working the Austro-
Hungary conversion. Financiers calcu-
late that the cost of the Austrian cur
rency reforms will become greatly en-
HANGED II the presidents plans are APP
proved.
The report that Princess Alice of Hesse
is to be shortly betrothed to the czare-
witch is officially denied
The drought in Freiburg and adjoin-
ing provinces continues, and the outlook
is serious. There is scarcity of food,
and much suffering. A number OF the
inhabitants OF the village OF Allmanswert
who lacked food for themselves and fam
lilies determined to raid the Kippenheim
preserves and capture whatever game
possible. Keepers detected them, and
pitched battle ensued. A number of the
combatants we're wounded, and many
villagers were arrested.

A N,cs xysv to s.rve cranres.

There Ia no doubsthat half thepleasant
favor Of the Grange is destroyed by the
difficulty Of eating itgracefully, although
that is q feat OF which, like building an
open fire, every one imagines his method
is the best. So great terror does an
orange inspire in woman at luncheon,
with the fatal example which has SO
often been told hanging over her of the
man who broke an engagement when he
saw his sweetheart hacking at one, that
this delightful food is generally tabooed.
One feels tempted to follow the example
of the dear old lady who was IN the habit
of retiring to her room with an orange
and locking the door after her.
But the mystery was lately solved at a
luncheon, and the solution will be hailed
with delight by housekeepers. The or
anges were peeled and sliced and brought
on the table cut up fine in punch glasses,
in which there was great deal of juice.
In each glass there was cracked ice and
sugar, and this delicious combination,
which embodies all the delights of the
fruit, with none of its disadvantages, Is
eaten with spoon.-Chicago Herald.
