Charged corsets.

Now that electricity is being more
and more widely used it is no longer
safe for a woman to carry her watch
in the place where it has always been
most secure in her corsets. a
New York woman few days ago
was going to pay visit of curiosity
to an electric light plant She was
warned that her watch might be
charged with electricity and SO she
did not take il with her
The precaution was useless. The
next day the movements of the watch
were most eccentric Now it was
fast, now slow, but never right,
She asked her husband, who was an
electrician, what could be the matter
with it, and he soon found that her
corset steels had been charged with
electricity during her visit to the
plant, and the next day, when she
Placed her watch in its usual resting
place, the charge had been communi-
Gated to its works.

There is but little change to report
in the mine this week We are rap

of ore of fair grade.

Hon. Clement Studebaker, one of
the largest manufacturers in the
country. The marriage of his only
daughter is still fresh in recollection
Nothing more imposing can be inn

all its elegant appointments The
bridegroom was a prominent young
business man of Toledo, Ohio, Mr..
Charles Arthur Carlisle This be

Ann Studebaker Carlisle, is, indeed
an American social queen. In per
sonal appearance she is of medium
hight. finecomplexion, with the roses
of health glowing in her dimpled
cheeks, and large, tender, brown
eyes rejecting the beautiful soul
within. Mrs. Carlisle was educated
in the best eastern schools, and has
Travelled throughout the United
and Mexico and also EXTENSIVELY in
Europe None Of the allurements of
wealth and high social position have
caused her to neglect the nobler
things of life She is a devoted mem
Der of the MethodistEpiscopal Church,
an earnest Christian worker, and a

The Last Week or the Barnum Show Opens
with an Unexpected Novelty.
There hasn't been anything funnier in the
big Barnum & Bailey circus in years than the
race that was attempted in the Madison
Square Garden arena last night between a
horse and O mischievous pony. 1t was intend
ed that the pony should win. but it didn't GO
of according to programme at all. and that's
what made it all the more enjoyable. The
pony knocked the prearranged details all to
flinders by his anxiety to get back to his stall
in the basement OF the building.
The race started all right with a man on the
horse and a boy Jockey on the pony. The
pony received a commanding handicap The
two went around the ring with a rush. with
5000 pairs Of eyes looking eagerly on. Sud-
denly the pony disappeared from view. He
had darted behind the scenes. Half a dozen
supers brought him back. and the whole thing
was tried over again. but the pony balkad
again after going around twice. lie came
within fifty. feet OF winning at tho third trial.
and a third time disappeared. abruptly. The
race was then abandoned amid roars al laugh
ter from the spectators.
The beauty OF all this was that nobody In the
management dreamt that the race would end
that way. Tody. Hamilton had discovered a
were lots OF other %laughable and exciting
events last night every feature Of the long
programme being rearranged and freshened.
The circus goes to BROOKLYN next week. but
the Gotham children ought to get a chance to
see that pony race before 1t Is too late.

sought to force from him. As performed on
the stage. Miss Wilkins's work was narrowing
and nothing else. Its gloom was not for n
moment lifted or varied. and all Of its efectwas
painfully unpleasant. Miss Wilkins's reputa-

demonstrated that her play had no value for
theatrical use. Gene ". Presbrey had con-
densed and arranged the piece. and n COM

There was q first act in which the wife was
accused as q witch. q second In which she was

the husbands doom TO be crushed to
death was dwelt on. and n fourth In
which It was shown that his martyrdom
