FAIR SHOPPERS AMAZED.
They Consider O'NeiIIs's Display
Simply Marvellous.

Never In the history OF their establish
ment have II. O'Neill & Co. had a
finer display of goods in their millinery
and ladies' suit departments than is at
present on exhibition. The creations in
both departments of American and for
eign designs, are simply magnificent,
and the fair ones will do well to give
the house a call before purchasing
their fineries for the Fall and Winter
The display in the millinery depart
ment Is especially worthy of commeh-
dalton. Some of the dainty pieces of
headgear are marvellous in their con-
struction. Large hats. mostly of the
Gainesborough order, are, of course, the
thing for this Fall, and the firm. as
usual, is right apace with the style. A
large green velvet hat, with lace inser-
and steel ornaments, is among the most
noticeable. Another is very large
black velvet hat, with jet insertion in
h 1m r & snd eb maroe let pink
and enormous black feathers. A black
Gainesborough, trimmed with black vel
vet, and satin bows and beautiful black
plumes Is also conspicuous.
The reception hats are also very pref
ty. One Of the most noticeable is of
azure marble velvet, trimmed with
chiffon on the edge and silk rosettes.

PRETTY GIRLS ON 4 TEAR"
They Gave the Names of Flora
Finlayson and Leah Van Dyke.
Pcnitent When Taken to Court and
LIE. or with u Warming.

Two very pretty girls, dressed in per-
feet Broadway sty.s, and describing
| themselves as actresses, were arraigned
before Justice Hogan in the Jefferson
Market Police Court this morning OH
the vulgar charge of plain drunk.
If the taller and the darker of these
two culprits is not Flora Finlayson, of
DlNey's opera company some time ago,
then Flora owes some one n grudge
for that is the name and description she
gave. The blonde ana rmaller one said
she was Leah Van Dyke, formerly of
the Bostonians.
Their faces were so swollen with
weeping and the effects of their spree
that no one but an intimate friend could
have recognized them.
The two girls with two men went 10
the Coleman House last evening and
drank quantity of champagne In the
dining room. After an hour or more at
the table they all left the hotel, and the
girls climbed unsteadily into a cab and
ordered the cabman to drive to LAG West
Fortieth street.
When that address was reached both
girls were fast asleep and could not be
aroused The people of the house were
called out to claim them, but no one rec
ognized them, and the driver accordingly
put back to the Coleman House.
clerk said that they were not guests OF
the house.
They were then driven to the West
Thirtieth street police station. They
were still in their trance, and were
carried to cells in the arms OF police
men. They awoke in the middle of the
night, and, discovering their plight, set
up a wall of anguish that moved the
case-hardened policeman very deeply,
but nothing could be done for them.
Policeman Ryan brought the girls
around to the court. On the way they
said they must have been drugged or
have been in singularly susceptible con-
dition. as they only drank a quart of
champagne apiece and had often gotten
away with that quantity without any
evil results.
Justice Hogan looked at them pity
railing
You young ladies, for you certainly
look to be such, ought to be asha med
of yourselves" said he.
1--WE are" they chorused, Flora adding
sob to her confession, while Leah con-
tented herself with a mild and appre-
hensive look.
"I'll let you go this time, but in the
future dine with more discretion" said
the Judge.
The girls fairly flew from the court
house.

had resigned his post there, and possess

to literature, with fair success Indeed,
only two days previous to Olga Dobrou-
lofts visit a play OF his had been pro-
duced and well received by the critics.
The silence of the room was broken
only by the ticking of the clock and the
sobs of the kneeling woman. The latter
grew fainter after awhile, and Austen
was thinking he might approach and
offer some words of comfort, when,
with a quick movement, Olga rose to
her feet. Her eyes were swollen with
weeping. but the expression of her face
was calm.

with head erect, she passed out to

Transparent Bricks.

A new departure has been made in France in the employment of glass bricks for building purposes. The bricks are hollow, being blown like bottles, and are given the shape that is most readily laid, cubic, hexagonai or otherwise, in the particular style of the building for which they are in- tended. They are made secure by the use of bituminOus cement, with base of asphalt. A singular feature of these bricks is that they do away with the necessity of windows. They are good irsulators of humidity and noise, giving protection against both cold and heat, and by the modification of their form and color they can be made to harmoIlizc readily with the dccora- tions of any building. They are used largely ir meat markets in preference to marble, and they are found espe- cially adapted for bath halls, hot houses, hospitals, refrigerating estab- lishmenLs, and, in fact, all buildings in which to absence of windows would be an advantage.

Origin of the IroncIad.

The origin of the ironclad is involv- ed in great obscurity. R. H. Thurs ton In Cassler's Magazine mentions a war ship called :'Iron Ram," possess ed in legend by Halfdan, a powerful viking of about the twelfth century. "All of thls ship which stood out of water says the tradition, was iron clad, 1t rose high out of the sea and was very costly treasure" /"
 According to some authorities the Dutch during the siege of Antwerp by the Spaniards in 1885 built an enorm- ous flat bottomed vessel and armored It with heavy iron plates. Unfortun- ately the "Finis Belli, as it was call ed, fell into the hands of the enemy before fairly in action and was never employed by either side.
 Col. John Stevens in 1872 or earlier, says MT. Thurston, conceived the idea of constructing an iron plated vessel of war with a saucer shaped hull, pro- pelled by screws. It was intended for harbor defense and the plan was to moor the ship and spin the craft around, firing gun after gun as it came in line. Thirty years later Robert l.. Stevens, son of Col. John Stevens made a contract with the United States to build d war steamer principally of iron for harbor defense, shot and shell proof. The ship was commenced but never finished.
 The first iron clads in actual war fare were the Devastation" the Lave" and the "Toursgep built by the French in 1854 and doing effective work in Crimean war. Then came the 'Merrimac" and the Monitor" in our own civil war. Since then iron clads are admittedly the only formidable war vessels.

terms in the original form having been the cause of many accidents. Quater- deck originated from the arrangement that the portion of the deck so called
 was about one-fourth of the whole space. Fore or forward castle receiv- ed its name as being the principal part of the ship in which the fighting took place, being raised much above the leyelO the other parttof the deck, and holding commanding position. Poop, the raised after-part of the ship set aside for officers, both in meaning and derivation comes from the Latin. Gangway has been handed down from the days of the ancient galley of the Ph9niclans, Carthaginians and Ro- mans, 1t having been board which ran along the whole length, serving as a passage for the rowers to and from their seats. IL was also utilized as a resting place for the mast and sail when not in use. The term now de- notes places of exit or entrance from or to vessel, generally from the shore by means of long plank or platform.
