SHORT OF FOOD.
The SeaIer Rose Sparks Has Rough
Experience.

Sealers have been lucky this season. but
the schooner Rose Sparks. which arrived
yesterday evening. is an exception. In the
first place the Sparks only had III skins on
board and reports having shipped only 500
skins from Japan. The Sparks was 36
days from Copper Island. The last four
days of her voyage Will never be forgotten
by her crew. While off Point Reyes the
Sparks ran short of provisions, and from
that time until the schooner reached port
the crew lived on rotten beans, spoilt flour
and canned goods that bad turned sour.
The Sparks lost two boats in the north
ern seas, and upon one occasion nearly
lost two of her crew. A boat manned by
three men was sent out by the skipper and
was upset in a heavy sea. 1t was fully
thirty minutes before assistance could be
rendered and the disabled boat righted.
While cruising about In the Arctic Ocean
very heavy weather was encountered and
the vessel had her biliet-head carried
away and her fore rigging damaged.

A MILL IN COURT.
What a Demand for an Order for
Bail Money Led To.

Bail Money Led To.
There was lively scrap In Police Court
2 yesterday, shortly after the adjournment
of the court between Attorney Fred Nc
Gregor and John r. Mahoney, clerk of the
court.
McGregor during the session of the court
asked Mahoney for all order on the City
Z Treasurer for the return of bail money.
Mahoney told him he was busy, but would
get the Judge to sign it as soon as he could.
He wrote out the order and two others and
placed the book on the Judges desk for
his signature.
McGregor made another demand for the
order, and Mahoney told him the Judge
had not signed II. This seemed to anger
the attorney. and he told some of his
friends outside the courtroom that If they
would drop in after the adjournment they
would see him do" Mahoney up.
When the court adjourned McGregor
for the order. Mahoney replied he was
filling in another order just then, but Nc
Greg0r's would be the next.

you would attend to other people before

Mahoney hotly resented the imputation
upon his honesty, when McGregor pulled
off his coat, took off his watch and chain
and rut them in his pantaloon's pocket.
He then challenged Mahouey to fight, and
in an instant they were at it hammer and
tongs.
After a rapid exchange of blows they
clinched, and in the struggle that followed
they knocked over desks and chairs till
/ finally they fell to the floor, the clerk on
top. McGregor. forgetting prize ring

belt. and made him yell with pain.

benevolent and blessing the tree-giver.
Yesterday the annual feast began. Great
preparations were made for it. Immense
lanterns were hung out the windows

great many people availed themselves of
the opportunity to get a good meal. The

oval or round hats with narrow brims
curled up at the edges have lately
begun to put in an appearance. Some
are intended for morning or travelling
hats and arc trimmed very simply with
velvet or the new shaded satin ribbons
or the equally new plaid ribbons
backed with blue or crimson velvet,
and perhaps Il small wing or bit of
aigrettc. Others are more jauntily
decorated with flowers. y large bunch
of cowslips is secured in the front of
one of these circular hats, woven Of
black and yellow coarse straw, fanked
by jet wings. Narrow wulhaux of
crimson velvet encircle an oval brown
hat, at the side of which is a damask
rose mounted in a vertical spray.
Another has tall bunch of yellow
primroses on one side and one of
mauve prilnroses to balance it on the
other. This idea is also carried out
in round beige straw hat with fiat
brim, which is draped with small
Brussels net veil; on the left side is a
cluster of scarlet and white crocuses
while on the right is similar cluster
of the same flowers tinted mauve and
yellow, each cluster emerging from a
sheaf of green leaves. The child's S

China straw with a large bow match
ing the straw. Two black feathers run
through the straw.
Now and then one wants a gown
that will entirely conceal the lines of
the figure, and yet as far as possible
be inconspicuous in SO doing. An
invalid has many time been ordered
out of her regular style of dress, and
into one that makes her usual mode
impossible. Or, there are many rea
sons why gown that will all conceal,
and vet seem somewhat conventional
will be valuable in wardrobe. For
the street such one may be made of
crisply soft foulard in any conventional
color and design. The skirt is in no
way unusual. The bodice has a yoke
of lace covered silk. From this hangs

but in the main those who do credit
to the profession and are most loyal to
the public as we'll, have been careful to
maintain their places on the rolls.
Gentlemen Of the Society, it is not
that our society has not done much
good, but we are getting old enough
to do still more. And while we have
been often times complimented by
visiting brethren on the harmony of
our sessions and the courteous bearing
Of our members, and we have made
excellent progress in some lines, and
some of our members are most efficient
and conscientious in the performance
of their duties, yet we do need a more
thorough appreciation Of individual
responsibility, whether occupying po-
sitions of important trust or simply as
the most private member.
"Ich dien" should be our motto,
and it is hoped that we shall have this
year through the enlarged committees,
much work done and much progress
shown, and that we all feel encouraged
to strive to make our annual meetings
as effective as we can, and real exposi-
,ions of the progress of thought and
training in our high and noble pro-
fesslOn.

One Member Expelled.

This is sent out from Raleigh ::
To-day the State Dental Society had
50 of its IS members present. DR.. C..
c. Sapp, of Statesville, was expelled
for violating the code of ethics in
advertising "painless extraction of
teeth, lowest prices" &c.
That's a strange freak. If DR.. Sapp
is good dentist, he is in luck. The
man that can pull teeth without inf1ct
ing pain ought to advertise it, the
society to the contrary notwithstand
ing. Lowest prices is something
else the people want. 1t is a serious
question whether every dentist hasn't
lowest prices, as we'll as other men.
DR.. Sapp was probably an advanced
thinker in that he put his advertise
ment in newspaper and did not try
to whisper it around among the
natives. If man has good thing
the public ought to know it and there
is no way as effective as through the
local newspaper.
If DR.. Sapp hasn't done anything
worse, he has splendid advertise
ment.-Concord Standard.

THE TRUTH COMING OUT.
Unbiased Testimony from Disin-
terested Persons About Chicago
andt World s Fair.

1t has come about in the natural
order Of things that Chicago is at last
relieved from the necessity of testify
ing in her own behalf in Worlds Fair
matters. Intelligent and judicious
visitors, who have no other object to
serve than the qualification of their
own pleasure and interests, are begin
ming to set in motion the truth that
will destroy the bad impressions made
by unaccountably malevolent persons
who have lied with all their might and
main to do injury to the prospects Of
the great exposition.
No other public enterprise ever un
dertaken in this country was assailed
by such persistent mendacity, and the
reason for it no fellow has been able to
find out. But as strangers come here
and experiment for themselves, Chi
cago has a constantly recruiting army
of champions to defend her against
the foolish malignancy of those persons
who determined to do all they could
to have the Fair terminate in failure.
The prejudicial reports perslstently
sent out are being refuted by the men
whose experiences prove their falslty.
Visitors from abroad who have attended
other international expositions are
arriving and are making known their
complimentary opinions and express
ing their favorable astonshment. Not
only does the Fair surpass anything
they had ever seen, but they find a
better system regulating affairs than
they ever knew before. Instead of the
extortions of which they had been
warned they have charges the reason
ableness of which have surprised them.
In place of a community of pirates
bent on the spoilaton of all corners,
the visitor finds courteous reception
and gracious entertainment, and sut
ferers no imposition.
The visiting editors whose papers
had been misled are forming new con-
clusions, and in testifying to their own
experiences speak of the Fair and of
Chicago in terms of such appreciation
as to leave no doubt of their sincerity.
The fact is simply that any one who
wishes to take in Chicago and the Fair
in display fashion will find it expensive
and will have to pay the piper but
people who wish to see the exhibition
in quiet way can do so as economl-
cally as they please. Accommoda-
tions at moderate charges can be
found within walking distance Of the
Fair grounds, and for the price of 50
cents a day visitors will have open to
them more wonders and glories and
beauties than they could exhaust as
sightseers in years time. Chicago
will have triumphant place in the
worlds esteem when all the testimony
is in.

FEMALE FASHIONS.
LATE CONCEITS IN STYLISH

Points About Hats and Gowns OF
Interest to our Lady Friends.

Summer hats are generally of large
and medium sizes, small hats for the
time, being altogether exceptional.
We look almost fruitlessly for turbans;
the toQue has SO completely run into
the bonnet that it has we'll nigh lost
distinctiveness as hat, and the
English hat appears seldom, save in
the modification in felt now known as
the tourists hat. Black lace hats,
which were SO many and varied few
weeks back, are beginning to grow
scarce. One specimen will suffice. 1t
is composed Of very light embroidered
tulle edged with an inch-wide band
of clustered black spangles. The band
hangs over the brim at the sides and
is caught up in front in little flute in
which nestles bunch of cowslps.
Three ends of tulle, wired and bor-
dered with spangles, are set erect in
front of the crown, a second bunch OF
cowslips being fixed at its base. Small

folds being maintained. The blouse
part has straps the shoulders, and a
continuation of the yoke is made in

the blouse and the epaulettes are
merely the somewhat eccentric visite

Didn't we say that as soon as Hoke
Smith had made thorough study Of
his department he would make some
very important reforms in the pension
business? He has just issued an order
that will cut down the annual pension
disbursements under the dependent
pension bill $4,000, 900. This IS
said to be the most important ruling
ever made in the Interior Department.
This is the kind of work that is sneeded.
Instead of devising new means of
raising more money, every department
should prosecute the most thorough
Investigations to discover how the
expenses of the Government can be
cut down. The Interior Department
is the best field for this kind of work
and we believe Hoke Smith is the man
to do it. Perhaps half the SI05 ,ooo,-
900 of pensions estimated for this year
are based on fraudulent cases OF
