"A new Japanese game is played with
fans, and the pretty paper balls of different
colors, which are inflated through a tiny
hole which closes with valve from the in
side, and so prevents the slightest escape
of air. The balls ale tossed as high as pos
sible, and the game consists in preventing
their falling by tanning them. 1t is quite
as active as tennis, and the effect is exceed
ingly picturesque to those looking on. The
one who succeeds in keeping her ball the
longest from touching the ground wins the
game. and in this case won prize-a
dainty fan Of white boiling cloth with pink
sticks. The mother of the young hostess
who was much skilled in the use of water
colors, had painted on the white back
ground in letters formed of succession OF
tiny roses the word 'Darina," the name Of
the place. 1t is an Arabic word signifying
our happy home" A long, pink satin
ribbon was tied at the end, to recall the
table effect, and the whole was a charming
souvenir Of delightful occasion.-Mrs
kingsland in Ladies' Home Journal.

How Is ii that women who are sweet and
gentle naturally resort to the greatest ex-
tremes when once they turn from the path
of rectitude and become fiends incarnates
They need not necessarily murder or steal
or reel about in drunken frenzy, but when
once they start to talk about some one for
whom they have taken dislike there
seems to be no limit to the venom of their
tongue. Men would have it out in one
round either with tisticuffs or hard, sharp
words, and the matter would drop there,
but women keep up the feud and seem to
take pleasure in the fire which their words
kindle. For lenient and just judgments
commend woman to mans mercy, but
II dcsirous of having her literally torn to
pieces by the lash and scourge of merciless
criticism turn her over to her feminine
friends who one day purr and the next day
scratch.-Philadelphi Times.

A most amusing Fourth of July incident
occurred on Long Island. A thoughtful papa
sent home early on the morning of the
Fourth box of fireworks, which were to be
discharged in the evening for the pleasure Of
the children. He then went to town, and
after arriving at the office became troubled
lest the little folks should play with and
become injured by the rockets and crack
ers and 1rewheels.
Accordingly he sent telegram to his
wife which was interpreted by the operator
in this way: Put the fireworks in the gar
den house and leave at once"
The frightened mother saw visions Of
headless trunks, single arms and legs fly
ing about, and concluding that her hus-
band had discovered that the fireworks
contained dynamite she heroically carried
them into the garden house, left her cake
in the oven and Historically dragging the
frightened children left "at once"
She arrived at her husbands Office in q
fearful state OF excitement, which was aug
mented by her husband S astonishment and
queries as to whether she had lost her rea-
son or what dreadful thing had happened.
She told him of the telegram, and he
laughed laughed long and loud. Then he
the wretch, explained that he had wired
her to Put the fireworks in the garden
house and leave alone"
There are now things, as the song says, in
that family that it is better not to dwell on.

One OF the New York theater managers
was down at the seashore. and while wan
dering about the hotel piazza ran across d
friend, who touched him up for pass. The
manager searched in his inside pocket and
then shook his head. "I'd give you one
willingly, but didn't bring my cards. I
don't see how can do 1t without them"
The deadhead looked blank. Suddenly tho
manager spoke: "I'll tell you what can
do. Instead of using card I'll just write
Pass bearer on your shirt front, and that
will get you in all right. VIII that dor"
The man assented, and the pass was writ
ten. That evening tho deadhead showed
up at the theater, and the man at the gate
nodded when be looked at the shining
bosom. 'All right. That's good" Ths
deadhead passed through the gate and
started into the theater. He had only taken
few steps when the gatekeeper called him
back. The man looked surprised. Whats
the matter nows Isn't it all righti" The
gatekeeper nodded. "Yes, but you must
surrender the pass."-Boston Budget.

THE CONFESSIONAL sacnrp.
Tho Supreme Court of New York Stats
Has So Decided.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The decision Of
Chief Justice Sir Frederick Jeune, Of the
London court Of probate and divorce, that
minister Of the church OF England can
be compelled to reveal on the witness
stand confessions made to him in conf
dence by his parishioners. has occasioned
considerable comment In church circles
here and especially in the Catholic church.
Bishop Keane, Of the Catholic university,
said:
with the growth Of civilization there
have grown up certain customs which
have been by common consent considered
sacred. The custom in question is one OF
these. Civilization has declared that the
condolences Of the confessional are sacred,
and when court of law lifts its hand and
says that this shall not be 80, it says that
the civilization OF the age annot make
any regulation which the law is bound TO
respect. Civilization and the law ought
to go hand In hand. but they have not
done so in this case, and should say that
the decision of Justice Jeune certainly
cannot stand.
II know that this question has been
raised in the United States once to my GER.
tain knowledge, and l think twice, both
times In the state of New York. The emat-
ter was carried to the supreme court of
the state, where the decision was that q
priest could not be compelled to divulge
the secretB confided to him in the sacred
confidence of the confessional"

FAIR OFFICIALS RESIGN.
Members Of the Board Of Finance
Stop Down and Out.
FINED Foa CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The omoiRfs Responsible for Closing the
Gates on Sunday Punished by Judge
stoin for Disobeying tho Mandate-An
Appeal Taken.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Judge Steir, of the
superior court, decided that the Worlds
fair directors and officers who had been
directly responsible for closing the OK
position gates Sunday, July %, had vio-
lated the injunction granted In the Cling
man petition, and were consequently guilty
of contempt. He ordered that Directors
Gage, Hutchinson, Henrotin, McNally
and Kcrfoct should be fined 81 600 each
and stand committed to Jail until the fine
was paid.
In the case of Director Victor r. Law
son the court held that the officer had
voted in belief that the injunction had
1apscd, and was not Intentionally guilty.
In view Of this mitigating circumstance a
fine of sioo was imposed. Director Cen
eral Davis was held less directly respons-
ible, and was fined $3.50
Messrs. Massey, Forbes, St. Clair and
Higinbotham were regarded by Judge
Stein as instruments for the execution of
the directors ruling and were discharged.
Director Nathan was also discharged
An appeal was taken from the courts
ruling. pending the hearing of which the
parties found guilty are held in bonds.
The board of finance, which was ap-
pointed to control the money matters of
the exposition, has resigned. The MEM
bers refused to go on with their work, be-
cause tho board of directors sought to
make them merely an advisory committee
Of the council Of administration. At the
time the lnance board was appointed the
directors voted to stop all fixed appropria-
tions for tho different departments of the
fair, and eilow tho new board to decide
how much money was needed to carry on
the work Of the exposition.
There is little doubt that the council of
administration will now proceed in earn
est to cut expenses. 1t has done some
work In that line during the past few
weeks but the reductions have fallen far
short of tho desires Of the directors The
running expenses Ore supposed to be
nearly $1,000 day. They fully reached
those figures tho first two weeks in July,
but are supposed to have been brought
down to about $4,000 day for the last
two weeks of the month. The figures are
not obtHinnble at this time, but the most
reliable estimates that could be had were
to the efTecS that the expenditures for the
last two wsaks in July would go beyond
$4,000.
The paid admissions at the fair yester-
day were ol,473.

The BLOCKADE RAISED.


An Bna e2 the Controversy Bebween
France and Siam.
LoSDod, Aug 2.-Sir Edward Grey. par
liamentaFy secretary of the foreign office,
announced in the house of commons yes
tcrday afternoon that the French blockade
OF Bangkok had been raised,
Immediately after Sir Edward had made
the announcement that the blockade had
been raised Sir Richard Temple, Conserva-
tive, asked for information as to certain
points of She Franco-Samese dispute. He
said that there was an impression in many
quarters shat British diplomacy had re-
ceived check in the negotiations carried
on by France aud Great Britain. Siam, he
added, had been treated in hard man
ner, and British interests had not been
safcgnarded.
Hon. George NJ Curzon, Conservative,
said he doL0tcd Frances intention to exc
cute her pledge to preserve the integ-
riiy of SLAM. France had acted in most
arbitrary manner from the very outset of
the trouble, and had shown scant consid
GRAFTON ipr her victim. The assurances
given by Trance to England have not been
kept. Mr. Curzon concluded by declaring
that the foreign office was on trial at the
bar Of publiS opinion.
Sir Richard Grey reproached Mr.. Cur
son with tpyinE to emharrass the govern
ment willis negotiations of most delicate
character were pending. The position of
affairs, he said, required him to still main
tain considerable reserve. He was conf
dent that it would be found, when the
results OF the negotiations shall have been
disclosed that the action OF the foreign Of
fee had been as strong us Mr., Curzon
could have desired.
