FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Who owns tho Eyes?

A pleasant way for party Of young
people to entertain themselves at an in
formal gathering is for them to try to
distinguish each other by seeing the
eyes alone Pin a shawl across tho door
way about five feet from the floor. Cut
two holes in large sheet Of wrapping
paper, or a newspaper will answer the
same purpose, which will show the eyes
distinctly, but will not expose any 9TH
er part Of the face.
If any one present possesses talent
for drawing, the paper which is to serve
as q mask could be decorated with a
mouth and nose, put on with brush
dipped In india ink. This would add to
the grotesque appearance which the
shawl, surmounted by the mask, will
present. Eyebrows might also be paint
ed.
When the paper is pinned above the
shawl, the company should be divided
into two parties, one to remain in the
room as spectators and guessers, and
the other to 60 "behind the scenes
(ctherwise the shawD as performers. If
there are over half a dozen of the latter,
a line should be formed. The one at the
head stands behind the mask so that his
eyes are distinctly seen by those in the
room, and another Of the performers
asks:
"Who owns the eyes?"
IF q correct response is given, the per-
formers clap their hands. Then the one
who has taken his turn gees to the feet
of the line, and No. 2 takes his or her
place behind the screen. After time
the parties change places, and the fun is
renewed. Tit-Bits.

Too Much New Woman.

Commenting on the number Of new
novels that have the new woman for a
theme, the Literary Lounger in the Lon
don Sketch remarks that the novelists
are doing their best to make us abhor
tho woman. We shall abhor the
thing itself, he says, if they go on in
their present fashion. But they are, as
whole, sensitive to a revulsion of feel
ing ON tho part of the public and per-
haps may be trusted to change their
subject and their tone, and SO prevent
q reaction that wauld mean run of fic-
tion with the women's parts omitted al
together. The end of the new woman
novels is probably to be seen in their
rapidly increasing number as well as
in tho fact that they have got into par
ticularly r.,T.'-..,.f.ll lis. =.

Her Army and Navy IN the Interests Of

Her Army and Navy In the Interests OF
Peace While Others Mean War.
A delightful illustration of that in
curable hypocrisy which is one Of Eng
lands national characteristics and
which is most exasperating to foreign
ers is given in The Daily News. AS a
government organ The News had to say
pleasant things about the prime minis
ter's speech at the Guildhall banquet,
and it certainly laid on praise with q
very large brush. the predominant SEN
timent Of its chief editorial being that
Lord Rosebery is great self sacrific-
ing statesman, and that England is the
greatest and most unselfsh nation in
the world. ''The premier did not say
one word too much about the danger of
those vast European ornaments which
seem to increase rather than diminish
with years. He might perhaps have
added a word in favor of international
disarmament, which was once the dream
of romantic missionaries and is now the
hope of practical statesmen. 1t is true
that the British navy has lately been
strengthened and enlarged, but the
purely defensive nature of that cele-
brated force is not doubted by the most
captious of critics"
Thus spoke the great international
Pecksniff in all his noble singleness of
heart aad purpose Other wicked ma
tions raise vast armies each with bad
ulterior designs against his neighbors,
but England, although she sedulously
increases her fleet, does SO solely for tho
glory of peace and good will among
men. The British navy, in fact, is a
great engine of peace, guaranteed not to
hurt fly. 1t may be urged by cynical
foreigners that tho great English news
paper, amid the general approval of the
country, has been insisting that the
British feet was not strong enough to
fight France and Russia ombined and
should be made fit to do SO with the
least possible delay, and that propos-
al is afoot to create q new political par
ty pledged, before everything else, to
mako the army and navy alike more ef
fective foIs offense az we'll as defense.
But The Daily News or any other Eng
lish paper will experience no difficulty
in proving that this movement is clli
nently unselfish and peaceful. ll.-LorM "

New Queen wilhelmina Is Trained.

A pretty little story about her mai
esty Wilhelmina, the girl queen of Hol-
land. has just found its way into the
Dutch papers. The queen is at present
only IA years Of age, and she is credited
with even o larger measure of caprice
and precocity than is usually granted to
less exalted young ladies at that inter-
esting period of life. Her mother, the
queen regent, therefore, thinks it we'll
at times to deal somewhat severely with
Wilhelmina's little ways. Lately the
young queen, desiring to speak to her
mother, knocked-not perhaps in the
most dignified fashion-at the door of
the room in which the queen regent was
engaged. "Who is there?' 'It is the
queen Of Holland" (imperiously).
"Then abe must not enter" (peremp-
torily). At this rebuff the little queen
suddenly changed her tactics, and soft
entng her tones said winningly, "Mam-
ma, it is your own little daughter that
loves you and would like to kiss you"
"You may come in" And SO Wilhel-
nina wins her way into the heart Of
the most phlegmatio Of Dutchmen.-

IT'S NEW CHURCH.
Berkeley to Own Another
Stately EdifiCe.
The First Presbyterian Congregation
Will Build an Elegant Struc-
ture at Once.

Berkeley. with all its beautiful archtec-
tural structures, is to have another added
to the list in the shape of new ediffice for
the First Presbyterian Church. Plans
have already been submitted to the
building committee, composed of Messrs.
Clark, Stewart. NlcksoD, Richards, White
with and Smell, and at their last meeting
were accepted.
The structure will! be gothic in style and
as soon as few preliminaries are arranged
building will be begun.
The main entrance will be from Fulton
street and Durant avenue. and will lead TO
the auditorium, which will be circular in
form. Directly opposite the entrance is
located the pulpit. choir and organ loft.
Room for thirty persons has been pro-
vided In the space allotted to the choir. The
main auditorium will seat 52S, and 800
more may be accommodated in the gall
lery, which surrounds the main room. Ad-
joining this are the Sunday-school rooms.
These may be united with the main body
of the church by the rising of an ingeni-
ously contrlved curtain of canvas, wood
and plaster, which will separate the two
rooms.
The main floor of the church will be
allotted TO the worship-rooms proper and
Sunday-school. To the rear of the main
auditorium will be located large class
rooms and a general asse emily hall seating
300. A large dining-room and kitchen
form portion of the appurtenances of the
first floor. Just beyond the main entrance

CABMEN HIS VICTIMS.
A Smooth Mans Way of Obtaining
Free Rides.

The cabmen of this city are about to
organize protective association, and
when the organization is completed its
efforts will be directed entirely toward an
Individual who lives somewhere out
toward the Mission.
The income of the person who has
earned the enmity Of the local iehus is not
known. nor has anything definite con-
corning the locality from which he halls
been cleaned, but this much has been
ascertaiDed.
He is quite smooth customer, and has,
during the past week, caused more than
one cabby to use up several hours Of his
precious time without receiving any COM
pensatlon.
The way in which the person works, as
explained by some of his victims, is quite
an ingenious one. and there is that about
it which seems the least bit humorous.
About month ago he fret appeared on
the scene, and every night since he has
continued his operations.
Sauntering up to a cabmaD, he inquiries
he expense incidental to ride to some
point at the extreme west end of the Mis-
sion. The rate given never satisfies him.
and discussion always ensues which
results in the making Of some slight re-
duction.
Then the youth climbs into the cab and
the driver starts off ON his journey. In
variably when the destination is reached
and the jehu climbs down from his box he
finds that the door OF his cab is open and
that the fare has disappeared.
The cabmaD who stands at the Baldwin
Hotel was the first TO be victimized. A
1ehu who holds forth at the Phelan build
| ing was next worked by the schemer. A
man from out Market street. near Taylor,
proved the third sufferer, and others scat
tered along the line we're fooled in rapid
succession.
| just where the man alights or who he is
no one seems 10 know. but a pretty good
description of him has been circulated
throughout the cab-driving fraternity, and
! it is quite likely that the next person on
whom he tries TO work his game will mmr-
diately recognize him. An exciting scene
will In all probability follow, for the or
binary cabby Is quite pugnacious sort OF
fellow. In the meantime all belated citi-
zens from the Mission who desire to be
hurried home in cabs must suffer the in
dignity of being compelled to pay their
fare in advance.

arcade. Behind this a general rece ption-
room for the pastor will be located. The
pastors study will be on the second floor,
over the Sunday-school apartments. A
ladies' Darl0r adjoins the infant-class room,
located on the second floor on the Fulton
street side.
A gallery, with seating capacily of $50,
surrounds the Sunday-school section on
the second floor. More cass-rooms are
located in the rear of the gallery. The
general plan has been to provide each de-
partment of the church with ample accom-
mediation. The Boys Brigade will have a
large drill and Assem- bly-room located be-
meath the Sunday-school auditorium. This
apartment will be about 50x90 feet, and
will also be used as supper-room.
The edifice will be heated by hot air
fans.
The interior finish will be plain wood
and plaster, without any paint. The ex-
terror OF hard burned brick. Oregon half
scerched pine will be used in the half-tim-
Der work.
Brick will be used in the base and por-
ches. and the timDering and slightly colored
concrete finishing will form the upper pDr-
ton.
The doors will be of oak, and the win
dows deeply sunk.

BOLD FORGER.
John MathesOn Arrested
in OrovilIe.
A Willy Scheme to SwindIe Local
Bankers Out of $4,000 Is
Nipped in the Bud.

Captain Lees, with his well-known
astuteness. has succeeded In nipping in
the bud bold attempt to swindle local
bankers out of $4,000 by means of a forged
letter of credit.
About six weeks ago a man about 80
years of age, giving the name of John
Matheson, arrived in this city. and repre-
scented that he came from London, Eng
land. After being here a few days he
called upon Helmann Bros. & Co., the
private bankers. and presented letter of
credit for $4,000 purporting TO have been
issued by the Bank of British North
America in London. He explained that
he had not then received letter of advice
but would present il to the bank as soon
as it came TO hand. About two weeks
afterward he called upon them with let
ter of advice. The bankers told him they
would look into the matter, ana accord
ingly they communicated with the local
branch of the Bank of British North
America, who advised them TO cable to
the London Office. They did so, and re-
ceived reply that no such letter OF credit
had been issued.
Matheson by this time began to suspect
that something was wrong. lie went to
the Russ House and wrote letter from
there to HellmaDn Bros. that he had inl-
pOrtant business to look after in Davis
vile. and requested them to forward
their draft for the $4,000 to him there.
After Hellmau Bros. received the reply
TO their cablegram they consulted Captain
Lees. The captain al once placed himself
in communication with DavsvIlle and put
Detective Seymour on the case. The de-
tective ascertained that no man Of the
name of MathesoD, or answering his
scription, had been at Davisville.
No further development occurred till
received by mail two drafts from Mathe-
son drawn upon the SIS, 900 letter of credit.
They sent the drafts and accompanying
letter TO Captain Lees. The envelope bore
the poslmark of Marysville. The wires
were promptly put in motion and the cap
tain located MathesOn in Oroville. He i'm
mediately sent Detective Seymour to OIo-
vile with a warrant for MathesOn's arrest
on the charge of forgery. and was gratfied
to receive dispatch from Seymour yester-
day that he had found his man and would
reach the city with him this morning.
The whole scheme to swindle the bank
ers had been concocted here. The letter
paper and envelopes, bearing the name Of
the Bank of British North America were
forgeries, and the London postmark on
the envelope of the letter OF advice was
also forgery.
Captain Lees says that Mstheson is q
bold and clever forger. Some years ago he
committed number OF forgeries in Lon
don under the name of Damera and skipped
to this country in time to save himself
from arrest.
