tion of straw hats which are plucked
quite heartlessly from the devoted
| heads of her admirers.
The fad is managed this way: The
summer young man goes to call upon
the summer girl. He spends an even
ing pleasantly upon the piazza, or in
the contest corner of the parlor, and
when it comes time for him to go
home, he finds his hat firmly clasped
by pair OF adorable little white hands,
while a pair of blue eyes beseech him
to leave his hat, as reminder of a
pleasant evening.
Gut 1uurmurs the Saratoga un-
fortunate, chow am to go home with
out my hat?''
ooh dear" pouts the pretty miss.
''can you not walk home without it?
Are you afraid of catching cold? Here,
take my handkerchief" handing him
tiny lacc-trimned absurdity, and
run just as fast as you can"
And SO ii comes TO pass that the Sar-
atoga young man has, for summer
fad, a collection ofrdainty pocket hand
kerchiefs, bearing different and deli
cate flower perfumes While the young
woman has her boudoir trimmed with
broad-briramed straw hats.
In one of the big hotels, there is
darling little sitting-roon which be-
longs to a dear little southern heiress.
She is from Louisiana, l think, and
looks not unlike her southern sister,
Mrs. James Brown Potter. Well! upon
a spindle-legged Josephine table in
that sitting-room, there is straw hat,
with the blue ribbon of Yale around
it, and inside the hat there are the
sweetest bon-bons. of which a
supply is sent daily by him from
whom the hat was wrcsted. Up
On the wall there hangs hat,
glorifed by painted daisies, and
another one, trimmed with natural
flowers also sent daily. Upon the floor,
daintily lined with blue satin, is a hat
which must have been worn by a youth
full Daniel Webster. It is SO very
large. And il the hat there sleeps-the
Louisiana girls pet poodle.
There have boon fads and fads. But
this summer the straw hat fad RACES
above and beyond them all.
Saratoga is the home of pretty
horses. The horses are as spirited
here as in Kentucky. They are SO
proud to draw the handsome carriages
to which they are harnessed that they

The battle of the modistes is not yet

from the Mecca of all modistes, has a

dress, so with it goes a wide brimmed,

is that of q much more serviceable
gown than the furbelowed variety;
though the difference is more apparent
than real.

Saratoga's electric lights were turned
ON last week. Then the big hotels
opened and the piazzas flashed with
diamond necklaces and starry cres-
cents, and twinkled with rings and
earrings. Saratogas electric lights
are valued at a snug million, exclusive
of the crescents that have other gems
in them.
The two great attractions Of Sara
toga, namely, its race track and its
pretty girls, are already ON as the
Saratoga boys express it. The girls are
arriving on every train every day, and
are driving here horseback from the
1nountains: which latter way Of com
ing to Saratoga is by far the most
fashionable way of approach. And

An Old Truth Proved Once More.

A pneumatic tired safety bicycle that
rested against the curb in Eighth avenue
opposite the Grand Opera House on Fri
day night had a crowd about it for an
hour. 1t bore II huge placard with the
inscription. For Sale, Price S12."
The placard had been placed there by
the owner. who had made "a wager that
he would display the bicycle for two
hours, and that no one would venture to
buy it.
There was u lot OF lively talk among
the crowd that stared at the bicycle, but
nobody Went into the cigar store where
the man who had ket that a purchaser
would appear was a~nxiously waiting for
ome one with S12 t. naterialize.

who stood on London bridge and offered
to sell genuine gold aovereigns for a pen
ny apiece and stood there an hour with

that a bargain would be snapped up.

A Powerful Antiseptfc,

Extensive researches made upon cor.
rosive sublimate by DR.. McClintock of
London show though the substance is not
a valuable gernicide-germs withstand
ing its action for some time-it proves
to possess, Of all substances, the greatest
antiseptic power, SO that a germ treated
with the article. unless perchance it gets
into the blood or is exposed to very ex-
ceptional conditions, is powerless to
grow-that is, it is probable that a spore
Of subtilis or anthrax treated with subli-
mate, l in 200. and then thrown on the
soil or into water, will not terminate,
owing to the fact that the capsule of
sublimate surrounding it is not removed.
1t is found that corrosive sublimate
forms with c%ellulose, as cloth, filter pa
per, etc, with silk, with albuminous
bodies, with some part Of bacteria, prob
ably the envelope, a chemical compound
thatcannot be removed with any amount
of washing in water. Thus subii,nate
when acting On a germ forms a capsule
around it that protects the germ for a
time from the further action of the SUBJ
Innate and in turn forms an impenetra-
BILE barrier to the growth Of the organism
unless removed. This barrier may bore

The automatic bobbin winder winds all sizee
of thread on the bobbin as easily as "A spool Of
thread is wound, without care or attention on
the part of the operator, except to keep the
treadle moving. Owing to the machine having
what is termed a tight and loose wheel. the
bobbin can be wound without running the
working parts of the machine. This is quite
an advantage, as it does not necessitate the re-
moving of the goods from underneath tho
presser foot. nor even unthreading the ma
chine.
The needle is short and straight, thus insur-
ing great strength: it is also self-setting, re-
Quiring no care on the part of the operator.
The pressure on the ewing foot is adjustable,
and when the foot is raised to remove the work
from the machine, il brings into play the au-
tomato tension release. This takes the ten
sion from the thread. and tho goods can be re-
moved from the machine without bending the
needle or breaking the thread. Every operator
on old style machines will appreciate this
point.

Properties offered.
Rumors are now sflost that portion of
the Msltby property on Howe street will
BIS selected as the site for the new normal
school building. This property was offer
ed to the board of education when the site
for the Boardman Manual Training school
was under consideration, but it was too
large as a whole and the price was much
beyond the appropriation. The owners of
the property have now decided to divide 1t
up into smaller portions, and two of them
have been offered to the board, It is under
stood, for $4,000.
One lot on the Msltby property offered
is bounded by three streets, namely, Howe,
Oak and Dwight streets. This has a
frontage of 100 fest on Howe street and
extends back to Dwight street. The other
one on the same property Is at the corner
of OAK and Howe streets, with frontage
of 300 feet on Oak street and an average
depth of 1875 feet.

consisting of Messrs Whitney, chairman,
Avis and Thompson, reported to the board
In executive session Tuesday evening, but
nothing has been made public yet They
will report to the state board, which will
meet in this city next Tuesday and look at
this property, which the committee are
said to favor most strongly.
Other cites offered to the board are: A
lot belonging to L Armstrong at the corner
of Oak and Park streets, the Charles Eng

near No. rs steamer house. The price for
the Armstrong property is said to be about

TWENTY KILLED.

| A Horrible Wreck on n Railway Be
| tween Milan and venice-A Number
of the Passengers Instantly Killed.
Others Pinioned by the Mass OF
Wreckage - Cries OF Dying and
Wounded Heartrendfng - Fearful
Scenes Attending Disaster.
ROME, Nov. 29.-News has reached this
city of terrible railroad accident last
night at Melzo, a town in Lombardy,
twelve miles northeast of Milan.
Two trains, an express from Milan for
Venice, and goods train, laden with in
fammable material, collided just outside
Melzo. The wreckage was set on fire by
the lights on the trains and a most horrible
scene followed. The accident occurred
about the middle of the night. A number
of the passengers were instantly killed,
while others were pinioned by the masses
of wreckage lying upon them.
7 One of the seven carriages which caught
fire in the railway wreck was filled with
emigrants from Venice, bound for Amer
lea. This carriage and the Pullman car
were smouldering at 4 O'Clock this morn
ing. Many emigrants were injured and
several were burned to death.
Horrible stories of the wreck, recounted
by the persons who were saved, continue
to come in. A mother, who crawled from
burning car only to learn from her son
that her baby was still in the ruins, threw
herself back into the flames, crying that
she would rescue her child. She was
saved, although terribly burned and men
tally deranged beyond hope of recovery.
The head of the chief conductor was
found several yards from the rails. His
body is still missing.
Throughout the night men and women
but half clothed wandered about in the
dense fog and sought shelter near the scsne
of the collision. They were found at day
light lying exhausted and semi-conecious
in tho field.
Details as to the exact number of killed
and wounded are lacking.
