by two young me-. She swaggered in and two or three of the people who sat near the seat she took looked at her curiously. the women remarking that she had on a bright green dress.
 As soon as she was seated she looked around as if to say: "rm pretty nice. ain't r" and then ostentatiously un- buttoned her jacket and threw back the lappels. They were lined with red. and the rcd and green stood out like a woodhouse In a fog in that bright light. The glaring combination of col ors attracted the attention of others. and 1t wasn't long before half the peo- pie In the balcony were watching tho young woman and wondering what she would do next. She enjoyed 1t, too. She tossed her head and glanced CO., quettishly over her shoulder, and then she pulled off the jacket.
 She had one ballon sleeves. The jacke had pressed them down. She gave a lllllt tuS dl oit olStNC duu puiiCu " up a couple of inches. Then she gave a similar tug at the other sleeve and pulled 1t up. too. Then somebody laughed. The girl pulled up the first sleeve a few inches more. She pulled up the other one. Two or three more people laughed. She looked around. One of her escorts whispered to her, but she shook her head angrily and gave one of her sleeves another tug. This brought 1t to the top of her head, and a similar tug on the other sleeve put that in the same position. By this time her head resembled a baseball between two hams, and half the people In the balcony were laughing.
 The girl had nerve, though. She gave the laugners a run for their money. She yanked one sleeve desperately and the puff lowered far above her head. She got the other one into the same po- sition. Then she turned around and scowled defiantly at her tormentors and paid attention to the play.
 Two or three times during the action she turned round end glanced about with look that intimated that she knew she was all right, and wanted the rest of the people in the balcony to understand it. When the play was over she waited in her seat to get her jacket on. One of her escorts held 1t up. Not man in the balcony or the gallery stirred. The girl patted one of her sleeves. "Ah-h-h" said the boys in the gallery. She patted the other one. Here" said young man who had been leaning over the rail watching her, with a breathless interest, "quit that and make your jump"
 Make what jump?" asked the girl, indignantly.
 why" shouted the young man again, ''hain't they no parachutes that goes with them balloons?"

ATTENTION, REPUBLIC4yS,

The Hon. N. D. Sperry has decided not to accept nomination to represent the Second congressional district This decision will be a sad shock to thou sands of Republicans throughout the district who are not only eager to vote for him but to work for him. It is hoped that he can be induced to reconsider his decision, when the real state of feel ing concerning his nomination is made known to him. Some who thus hope will be actively at work to-day to get, by means of a petition, an expression of the. opinion of Republican voters con- corning this matter. A petition will be circulated as widely as possible and there will be a meeting at Veru hall at 8 o'clock. this evening for the accommodation of those who wish to make known their desire to have MT. Sperry accept the nomination. There should be and there undoubtedly will be an expression of opinion that will show conclusively what the Republi- cans of this region want. The time for action is short, but much can be done to-day and this evening. Let's make strong pull and pull all to- gether.

The aIistletoe Has Been Equipped With a
 Megaphone, a Trumpet.
 From the New London Day.l
 The lighthouse steamer Mistletoe has recently been furnished with a mega phone, an instrument that fills the old salts with wonder when it goes off They cannot understand 1t at all gene. rally. but the most ingenious satisfy themselves with the explanation that 1t works good deal like an ear trum- pet on large scale. It is capable of throwing the sound of the voice long distance, and it can likewise enable the holder to catch the words of some one else at distance whose voice has nc assistance.
 The megaphone is about three feet long and has mouth about fifteen inches in diameter. One of the men yesterday spoke from the custom house dock to man who was standing along side of the fish markets The ma, looked all around, but as he could SC no one and the speaking kept on, h. was more than half frightened An other man. was greatly startled when he was sitting in the custom house tc hear himself spoken to and nobody in sight.
 The Mistletoe was edging along some distance from the. shore the other day when a man on the, beach was hailed and the antics he went through In Ills effort to locate the voice were more than amusing. He finally put it aboard the steamer. but he has not yet, proba- bly,, got over wondering how any one could talk so as to be heard so far, es- pecially as there was pretty good sea on.
 It can readily be seen that the mega phone will be very useful to the Mistle- toes crew in talking with the people in lighthouses or in lightships, when on account of the weather 1t is not desired to approach too close.

HILL.

There was enthusiasm enough in the convention that nominated David B. Hill, but where will that enthusiasm and he be when the light of election day. goes out? Hill has undoubtedly done something toward making himself more respectable and respected than he was g. year ago, but it is already evil dent that the people of New York haven't forgotten his share in the crime for which Isaac H. Maynard has been punished. Maynard, by Hills orders, stole the true election return from the Fifteenth Senate district, which resulted in making the Senate Democratic by fraud. The New York Times declares itself against Hill on account of this. and says: In the last days of the year 1891 a great public crime was committed in this State. An agent in the commission of the crime came before the people at the oiGSbioil iiCiNk looS yCdl, anu he was a candidate of the more nu- merous party he was defeated by an adverse majority of more than 100000 votes. But if a mere agent in the vil- lainy was punished with that severity, how will the electors of the State treat the principal at the polls? MT. Hill was the arch-conspirator three years ago, and last year MT. Lock- wood presided over the convention that nominated the doomed Maynard. Are these nominations an intentional def- ance of public virtue? Is it assumed that the people have forgotten the theft of the Senate?
 They call Hill brave man. He must be to take the nomination for governor with his own record and +he Republicans against him.

A capable engineer was employed, and he was unable to endorse any fender fully, but believed that one of four could be made to do effective work. The Boston gridiron. projecting from the car ten or twelve inches above the rail, was condemned because 1t tended to break the legs of the person struck or to knock him down where he may be killed by the wheels. The public, the engineer stated. is entitled to the protection of a combination of a fem der and guard, one external and in front of the car and the other beneath the car and immediately at the wheel; the front fender must be so arranged that if 1t falls to catch or pick up the person 1t will yield and pass over him without crushing him. leaving the work to the wheel guard. There are five patents on this combination which are pronounced good. but of the front scoop or pickup lenders only two of those examined In Baltimore have valuable features. the greater number of this class not being so constructed as to cause no injury If they pass over the person after striking. This type re- quires an effective wheel guard. Another class Is designed to throw a man on projecting platform by tripping. The Boston fender is of this description. and while 1t may knock a person on the table, 1t Is just as liable to throw him under the car. where he has little chance of escaping in jury or death. This is the conrivance which recently killed several children in Brooklyn. The operation of the Buffalo fender is on the same prin ciple. Several reliable wheel guards were found, some of which are in use in Baltimore and Philadelphia. but without the front fender they do not afford the greatest protection to life.
 One thing seems to be certain and that is that though perfect fender has not yet been invented the electric rail- road companies ought to use the best there is until the perfect one ap- pears.

ty of be-ribboned bows, the curve of fold and softness of scarf, all help her in her fitting task of making herself as beautiful as she may. But to return to the consideration of guipure; it has for some time been much favored, and the coming season will find it in equally great vogue. Already there have been discovered dainty uses for it on the corded silks now so fashionable. One of them is illustrated in to-day's pie ture, wherein dress of black corded silk is shown. The stuff is taken cross wise for the bell skirt, which is lined with black silk. The bodice is likewise lined and fastens at the side. It's back is plain and has no seams. but the front is rather ornate, showing appliqued fig ures of mordore velvet bordered with guipure on the lower edge. The stand ing collar also consists of the mordore velvet, but the belt is made of the cord ed material, fastening with narrow head in the back. The fulness of the sleeves is punched up on the upper arm where it is draped with deep pleats on the shoulders. ..-..
 Veils are to be fashionable again A good many women have been wear. ing them all the time, 50 again will mean nothing to them, hyst that other horrid creature who has displayed hel perfect complexion unveiled all this time will now have to stop 1t or be out of fashion. There's one comfort!

Wanted Full IT, atment. From the Buffalo Exrress l


 A man came into an uptown barber shop yesterday afternoon. He was un- steady on his legs, and he looked sleepy He stumbled into the first vacant chair and closed his eyes. The barber start ed to put a towel around his neck and found that he was fast asleep. The barber punched him up, and said:
 Shave, sir?"
 "Yesh," replied the man in the chair, thickly. Then he closed his eyes and went to sleep again.
 The barber lathered him and shaved him, going over his face three times and applying hot towels. Then he caught the sleeper by the collar, jerked him up in the chair, and ran his hands through his dishevelled hair. After re- peated punchings the man opened his eyes a bit
 Hair cut, sir?" asked the barber. ''Yesh," replied the man in the chair as his head dropped forward on his breast.
 The barber cut his hair. After that operation was gone through with he awakened his customer again and said | "Better let me, singe 1t. sir. It's get ting rather thin on top. Tonic would do it good, too."
 "All ri," responded the man in the chair, relapsing into his trance. In twenty minutes the singeing and the stimulating had been done. Then the barber said: Want your nous. tache trimmed sir?"
 "Yesh," replied the man in the chair 1 The moustache was trimmed and waxed. The mans face was carefully powdered and all the other little atten. lions paid. Then the barber punched l him up. again. "All right, sir," he | said.
 Gut my hair," the man in the chai, ordered, closing his ,eyes for another nap.
 Tt is cut, sir" | Gimme shampoo"
 You've had one"
 The man in the chair sat up ant blinked. ''Nothiri' more to do?" h, asked, regretfully.A
 "No. sir; everything's done"
 The customer stared vacantly at tn looking glass for minute. Then h. settled back in the chair again ant closed his eyes. |.
 "Everything's all done," put in tn, barber ..
 "Ratsch" said the man in the chait Pull 8 tooth" {
 And he went to sleep before the bar her could remonstrate.

You will be, what you will to be; Let failure find its false content In that p or word "cnyironment," But spirit scorns 1t and Is free. It masters time, it conquers space, It cows that bGaste trickster chance; And bids the tyrant c rcumstancc Uncrown and fill servants place. The human Will, that force unseen, The offspring of a dea hl ss soul, Can hew the way to any goal, Though walls of granite intervene. Be not inpatient in delay, But wait as ne who understands; When nit rises and commands, The gods are really to obey. The river, S eking for the sea, ConfrOnts the dam a d precipice, Yet knows it cannot fail or miss, You will be what you will to be.
