Those Gorgeous Hats.
e Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
At the Nordics and Scalhi concert
last evening seats were reserved in
the first gallery for Conservatory
girls. AS they filed in with their
fresh young faces animated by the
cold air and lit up in anticipation of
the great pleasure in store for them,
their eager ideslism sparkling at
their eyes-can the world duplicate
these American girls?-one had per-
force to forgive the sweet unconscious
ness with which they sat there In
vast hsystack hats, cutting off COM
pletely the view of hundreds, who
had paid their money to see the sin
gers on the stage. An elderly lady
requested two of them to remove their
hats, and be it recorded, they politely
complied.

Large Lake steamers.

There have lust been laid down at
the yards of the Globe Shipbuilding
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, the
keels of two steamers which are de-
signed to be not only the fastest ever
of an intercon tineptal system of
transportation between this country
and the Orient. The two ships are in
tended for passenger service be-
tween Buffalo and Duluth, and their
speed is to be not less than 20 miles
per hour. They are intended to make
the run between Buffalo and Duluth
In so hours. Their general dimeniions
are: Length over all, $50 feet; beam,
Al feet; and depth OF hold, "a feet
The draught when running in the
open lakes will be Is feet. This will
be obtained by filling water COM
partments in the Double bottom space
On entering the Detroit flats the
draught will be brought up to l6 feet
by pumping out the compsr tments.
The increased draught will afford the
open lakes enhanced speed. The two
vessels are building for the Northern
Steamship Company. They will be
the first steamers on the great lakes
to be provided with quadruple-ex-
pansion engines, and their horse
power, which will be 1000 for each
ship, will exceed by 5000 the maxi
mum horse power now developed on
the lakes. The engines will embrace
cylinder diamters for the four cylin-
ders of 25, SO, 81 1-2 and "A in. The
stroke will measure AZ in.

Snow Shoe Exercise in the German

Snow Shoe Exercise in the German
Army.
There are now being made in certain
corps of the German army some very
interesting experiments relative to
the introduction of snow shoes, to
permit of marching and service on q
campaign in the severest weather.
The snow shoes used by the Ger
man soldiers are the same as those
employed for centuries in the coun-
tries of the north of Europe-Norway,
Lspland, etc. They consist of a thin
strip of wood about yard
in length, little wider than
at the extremity and shod with iron.
Every one uses them in Norway, and
the results obtained are truly Won
derful. During the deepest SHOWS
| the rural postman owes to them the
possibility of continuing his service,
not only without delay, but with
amazing rapidity. The hunters of
the country, provided with snow
shoes, pursue the hare and dispatch
1t with a simple blow of the cane.
The Norwegian soldiers, it is unnec-
eosary to say, could not remain
| strangers to this national sport. So,
since the middle of the last cen
fury, there has existed in their coun-
| try companies of light infantry brok
en- In to marching on snow shoes and
capable of rendering the greatest ser
vices in case OF winter campaign. At
present all the Norwegian corps of in
fantry annually perform maneuvers
upon the snow with the aid OF these
shoes, and, in their environments,
even get up racing matches on snow
shoes.
The foot soldiers of the Dutch army
are exercised In the same way upon
the frozen canals that abound In their
country.
Finally, In the Russian army, GER
tain corps (the sharpshOOters of the
imperial family and the Finnish
bsrpshooters) are provided with an
alogue snow shoes.
Not wishing TO remain in state of
inferiority in this regard, in face Of
his neigh bors, the Emperor of Ger
manv has had snow shoes tried in
the Eighty second regiment OF in
fantry, stationed at Goslar, vpon the
confines OF Hanover and Brunswick.

GAS SUPPLY CUT OFF
BY a Break in the Main Near Roney's
POint-Damsge Repaired.

A break in the 12-iDch natural gas
main out near Roney's Point cut off the
entire supply OF gas for Wheeling and
vicinity yesterday morning about IL
o'clock, and all day the people who mad
no coal were compelled TO sit In the cold
or visit their neighbors.
The break occurred some five miles
from the nearest telephone, and it was
consequently some time before 1t was
located, though the company at once
sent out two parties to search Tor the
break. For while the immense vol
ume of gas was permitted TO escape, but
the break was located in an hour or so
and the gas shut off.
Mr.. Hare, of the gas company. In
forms the REGISTER that the break
IN the pipe was caused by
d dynamite explosion close to the pipe.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, be says, was putting upa new
Inc out there and the workmen were
using dynamite In blasting out the
roles for the poles. One Of these holes
happened to be just above or along side
f the gas main, and when the dyna-
mite exploded it blew the pipe in two.
One entire section Of the l2-inch main
was blown out and had to be replaced.
As soon as the break was located the
work of repairing was begun, but new
pipe had to be taken out from Wheel
ing and the work was necessarily much
delayed. At one o'clock this morning
the gas was not on.

river is looked for this morning. The
rise will not be sufficient TO let out coal
boats.
Rivermen hope 10 get some coal out
on this rise. There was heavy rain
at all the up-river points. The weather
man also gives them hope. He says
that it will be warm to-day, with good
chance Of more rain. Eight feet of wa
ter is expected by some, but this is
thought to be putting the figures a little
high.
If the river reaches eight feet to-day
will see nearly 10000 600 bushels OF
coal started on its Southern journey.
There are about fifty boats in the Pitts
burg harbors and along in the different
pools which can be relied upon to take
out tows.
Cincinnati is also praying for rise

THE THANKSGIVING rrnKrv

How dear to my heart was the ol,
 turkey gobbler. The stately old bird that wake,
 the farm round, How his gobble, gobble, gobbl,
 awoke us from slumber And struck on our ears with~,b,
 musical sound. How often in moments of sadness oi temper, l sat on the fence that hemmed him
 around, And forgot all my ills in watching him canter As stately and awkward he moved
 OCT the ground. After many long years this turkey
 grew old And the housewife concluded he
 better be sold, So with charcoal and. musE they
 stuffed him, but found. Though bushels he ate he ne'ar
 gained pound. At last he was killed and sent to the
 town Where city folks bought him and
 roasted him brown. Invited their guests and gave thanks to the Lord For sending their way such q ten der old bird. To carve him they tried, but found him a sell. His hide was tougher and thicker than n-l. The hostess peered over the head a. the house And whispered out loud sold, by l gosh.
