are improvident enough to forget the
task of keeping black leather in any ap-
pearance of neatneSs will learn a thing
or two.
While in the making of russell boots
every poiut of nicely is considered that
obtains in dress boots there is one
point of difference that must not be
overlooked-yourr russell boot must lace
uD the front, and may not button at the
! side. as do your patent feathers or your
French calf WALKING boots. Russia
leather is the correct article, and it Is so
soft and pliable, taking the finish and
keeping it so well, even improving the
color as it is worn, that it takes immedl-
ate precedence over other feathers for
russell boots and shoes.
The "Blucher'' is a recent and COM
Portable boot and calls for rather low
heel with sole adapted to the needs of a
pedestrian of more or less ambition. A
title more dressy, perhaps. is the regu-
lar walking boot, cut with straight
foxing. With need tips and Piccadilly
toes they are about as natty as any
thing in shoe leather could be.
Here is n tip. by the way. on shoe
tips. Women are just the least bit
weary of choosing between a pointed
tip and straight tip on their boots and
shoes, and the next thing we know
there will be no tips ut all. We shall
probably see evidence OF this as the
summer grows old.
White shoes for country and seaside
are more in favor than ever this season,
and with the pretty, thin stuffS COM
posing many of the summer gowns
they certainly are dainty innovation,
bringing with them a necessity for
snowy white hosiery. While canvas,
such favorite material for these shoes
last year, is still much in use and
makes a very neat and pretty shoe,
white suede is the newest thing. and is
pointed off in white patent leather, the
white suede itself, or the favorite tan.
Red morocco for house and piazza
wear have lost none OF their former
prestige, and in their destined places
will be worn more than ever with white
dresses.
A very pretty slipper. quite the new

1t is made in Russia leather and gray
glacc kid for summer use. and is spe-
cially pretty for carriage dress. 1t has
a double strap over the inStep, which
adds both to its appearance and its COM
fort The glace kid in all colorS is find
ing much favor for evening wear, and

As for low shoes and ties. it goes
almost without saying that the russet

wear, and they may no longer be con-
sidered as an after thought Or mere
accessories to ones stock of shoes.

New YORK, July 1.--When l was at

such a multiplicity of yachting Co.'S
tunes, tennis costumes, golf costumes,
coaching costumes and all kinds of little
wraps ana coats for different kinds of
sports that l was quite confused. |
remember coming to the very natural
conclusion that to the average woman
the gown is more impOrtants than the
sport. l have noticed that on the tennis
lawn the we'll and fancifully gowned
woman is the dutfer, if one may apply
such an ugly word 10 creature who
by her mere appearance makes US
feel quite happy without exciting our
admiration with her skill and strength.
The champion tennis player is bony,
red-taced and not thing of beauty by
any means. Her interest is all in the
science of the game; she doesn't care
anything about dazzling the world with
the sweetest tennis gown in the world.
She leaves that for the girl who can't
play-the girl who is found wandering
up the lane with the man whom every
one is looking for.
The champion tennis player is quite
satisfied with blouse of no great beauty
or style. hat which she wears we'll

serge skirt that does not impede her
movements. While she is playing she

looks lovely. Her gowns this year are

very correct cut of navy blue silk. a
polka-dotted scarf was knotted in the
nautical way under the collar.
The Columbian cape, req, white and
blue, a separate cape of each, is being
worn more than anything else as a

thing 10 have for all kinds of expedl-
tons. They are mostly made with an
appendage which is partly collar and
partly cape, and not quite either. The
black satin band should be removable.

Where burdens are ali laid aside

ten delightful sketch of Mr.. Mackay's
life for Appleton;S encyclopaedia of
American Biography" says the New
\ ork Recorder.
John William Mackay, according to
Mr.. Young. was born in Dublin. Ire
land, Nov. %, 1881. He is of Scotch
Irish descent. and came to this country
when he was only nine years of age,
with his parents. His father died soon
young Mackay had obtained public
school education. he was apprenticed to
the trade OF shipbuilding.
When gold was discovered in CALI
fornia, and a flood of immigrants set to-
ward the Pacific coast. young Mackay
got into the stream and went along.
For several years he lived the life of a
miner, during which time he acquired a
thorough knowledge of practical min
ing and obtained good command of
the technical also.
During his life in the mines he expe-
rienced all the varying fortunes con-
nected with such life; before he was
thirty years of age be had made and
lost a small fortune. Mackay left Cali
fornia for Nevada in 1860, and has since
made his home there. His fortune i'm
proves slowly but steadily in Nevada,
and he SOON became leader of men in
the new mining country. He has al
ways been a man of rigid1y temperate
habits, which saved him from the mis-
fortunes that attended SO many in the
early and prosperous mining days. He
was one of the discoveries of the B0-
nanZa mines, on ledge of rock in the
Sierra Nevada. under what is now Vir-
ginia City.
This discovery of the vast deposits of
silver and gold in the Sierras is the
most noted, and at the same time the
most romantic incident in. the annals of
mining. 1t changed the face of THE
silver markets the world over, and to
nations like India and China it became
an important and embarrassing factor
in their modern political economy.
John w. Mackay owned two-fifths OF
the interest in all the mines that came
within the Bonanza designation, double
che amount owned by>any OF his part

Disgrace Of Florence.

The chief pride of the city of flowers
should be Dante. He, native son of
the city of Florence, looked into the
future more soultully than any other
poet who has ever penned poem, and
he poetized subject the most difficult
that has ever been treated. The only
one who has ever attempted even with
partial success anything like the poetic
effort of the Florentine classic was the
late John Henry Newman in his
'Dream of Gerontius."
Florence gave birth to Dante; it is
the shame of that city that his grave
should be in Ravenna. a deeper dis
grace still is it that he. the descendant
of crusaders; the master of all the
knowledge of his century; the spiritual
enthusiast who wore himself lean In
making perpetual picture of the tor
lures of the damned; the graceful knight
who was as much at home when leading
a forlorn hope as when writing sub
timely of the splendid, ad-hearted
Beatrice, should have been driven in
disgrace from his own beloved city;
should have been sentenced to be
burned in case of return, thus forcing
the impassioned curse from the exlle's
lips, not upon hateful foreign foes, but
upon his own people, whom he natural
ly would have loved

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-Armour & Co.
Monday morning received that $500, 900
in gold which they ordered in London
two weeks ago. 1t arrived in New
York Friday and Saturday in different
lots of gold eagles. The iron-bound
boxes containing the gold will not be
carted up to the packing firms Office in

be taken to the various banks where

money is not to be boarded. 1t vii be
checked out in the regular course OF
business, and thus enter into the chan.
nels and arteries of trade.
Armour &c Co. are so well satisfied
with the results of this importation
that they are figuring on bringing over
$500, 900 more in gold from London.
They think it likely the formal order
will be given Monday or Tuesday. In
the present condition of affairs the inn
portation of gold is an influence for the
better upon the general money situa-
tion. Moreover, there is II profit in the
operation of importing gold, not a
heavy one, it is true, considering the
amount of capital involved, but still a
profit. In Armour t& Co.'S case the
profit is about $4,000 on the s5O0,0
that arrived Monday morning.
The importation of gold takes lots Of
| figuring, lots of cableing and power
of money. Gold has to be paid for in
cash, and only when the transactions
are in vast sums do the profits run W
to any considerable amount. 1t was
not for the sake of the profit that the
Sc, 600, 600 of gold that has oeen, or will

people. 1t was ordered out because

HOW TO MAKE A SCRAP-BOOk.
Seine Details Which Should be Carefully
Observed.

A scrap-book should not be composed
of miscellaneous material, but confined
to some special purpose. Let the col
lector decide rigidly whether pictures
or printed texts are to be collected. In
pictures the collector should confine
himself to definite subject, whether
portraits, historical landscapes, orsome
branch of natural history. A book of
famous authors may be collected from
publishers catalogues alone. In almost
every city or county volume of local
scenery may be collected. The.collec-
tor should especially seek to save what
islikely to be lost. For a book in which
to paste the cuttings almost any bound
volume will do, especially if its pages
show a wide margin, and the print can
be readily covered by two widths Of
ordinary newspaper clippings. The
margin may be used for notes, includ-
ing dates and a few explanatory men,
oranda. The clippings should be kept
for week or so before they are pasted
down, because second Judgment may
rule them out. 1t is quite safe to ad-
wise collectors that no cutting will do
unless it bids fair to be fresh and in
telligible year after it has been hon.
ored with place in the scrap-book. If
the pages become too thick for the
cover, cut out two or three leaves after
each page filed with the clippings.
When there is the slightest possibility
that scrap-booll may be used for pub
fishing purposes, or that any of its
entries may be cut out for other uses,
cover one page only. But on the page
used the clippings should be packed
closely together. If possible, each clip.
ping should retain the rule which
marks the end of printed paragraph
or poem. The column lines need not
be retained. In fact, it is best to cut
newspapers always along these lines.
Ragged edges, of course, should be
avoided. and the mucilage with which
the clippings are pasted down should
be used sparingly, lest it ooZe through
the paper or eXude from under the
| edges. Flour paste is better than mu.
cilage, and what is known as photog-
rapher's paste is excellent Literary
World.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Aug. 1S.-Mrs.

was mysteriously shot at Gypsy Grove
picnic grounds. Mrs. ogden was on
the dancing pavilion in company with
q man named Shreves, when shot was
heard and she was seen to fall Upon
examination Mrs. Ogden was found to
have been shot through the stomach,
the ball passing into the ribs.
Shreves claims that the woman took
the revolver from his pocket and shot
herself, but it is asserted by others that
she was endeavoring to prevent Shreves
shooting u man named Thorn, with
whom she was flirting and who was
swinging about thirty feet distant.
Another theory is that Shreves shot her
on account of jealousy. Shreves was
arrested and is in Jail at Clarlssburg.
