great event has arrived. Yesterday after
noon people strolling along the north si2e of
the Serpentine in Hyde Park were either
amused or shocked, according to the mental
view they took of the spectacle, by seeing
two highly pronounced specimens of the
genus Mary Jane, adorned with extensively
feathered hats, reposing themselves on the
grass uuder a tree smoking a cigarette. They
had only one between them, a friendly ex:
change taking place after every three or four

In the death of Professor w. Robertson
Smith, Scotland has lost one of her greatest
scholars and one of her most characteristic
sons of this generation. Robertson Smith
excelled in every branch eff learning. Pro
fessor TAFT, of Edinburgh, whose assistant
Smith was many years ago, declared that he
had the very highest gift for mathematics
and natural science; and that if he had gone
to Cambridge, be would certainly have come
out senior wrangler. But at that time
Smiths devotion to the Free Church knew
no bounds. For The Shaw Philosophical
Scholarship, the chief prize which the four
Scottish Universities offer for the study of
mental science, Smith was pro9ime ~occessit.
But it was in the departmr Nt Of languages
ancient and modern, and especially Oriental,
that he became a ~consummate master.
Before he was thirty he was made Professor
Of Hebrew in the free Church College at
Aberdeen, and in a few years time was gene
rally ackno wledged 10 have nc equal, in
Britain at least, as an authority In Hebrew
and Arabic. He had a profound knowledge
of everything that belonged to the study
and criticism If Hebrew literature, as well as
II fine appreciation of German scholarship.
1t was his article on the Bible and other
articles in the Encyclopedia britannica that
brought him into public notice, and that
occasioned the long and painful dispute which
ended in his being summarily elected from
his chair in Aberdeen. Although following
Kuenen and Wellhausen in their criticism of
the Old Testament, Smith remained strictly
evangelical and warmly attached to the Free
Church, in which he had been born and bred,
and of which his father and brother and
sister were among the most distinguished
saUant8. Despite the much Wanted but
altogether illusory spiritual independence Of
the Free Kirk, Smith might have carried
his case to the Civil Courts. But he permit
ted the matter to drop, and with the mag
nanimity which he had displayed in all his
troubles, declared that he would not give the
church further anxiety on his account. So
he quietly relinquished his professOriate, al
though remaining a Minister of the Free
Church. Thereafter he travelled in the East.
After the death Of Professor Baynes, of St.
Andrews, Robertson Smith became chiefly
responsible for the editing of the new
Encyclopedia Brittanica. A few years ago
he was appointed Professor of Hebrew at
Cambridge. He had immense power of ac-
quiring and assimilating knowledgeo of all kinds.
His lectul es OH the Old Testament, on the
Jewish Church, and ''The Prophets of Israeli
written from the stand point of modern criti-
cism, are models of fine scholarship and lucid
exposition.

Psychologists tell us that the Egyptian
princesses owed the smoothness of their
skins to a preparation much like the glyc-

exercise in the open air is another great
point. English women Of the uI per class

Pastry, cake and rich food of all sorts tell
unfavorably upon the complexion.
Even a perfect complexion cannot, how
ever, bear the i~uxtaposition of every color,
for there are perfect complications Of all
types, although they are unfortunately
rare. The perfect blond skin is placed at
o disadvantage by orange while the per
feet brunette complexion is ruined by
turquoise. 1t therefore behooves the aver
age woman to be careful in her selection of
tints for the wardrobe, since SO much de-
ponds upon them.
The gown of which a sketch is given
would suit a pale brunette. 1t is of tomato

LIGHTING A TEXTILE MILL.

Some months g an English manufac-
turer made a number of experiments to
determine the best method of
ting his cloth mills. Gas jets, mean
descent lamps and arc lights were all
tried and found wanting, because they
either failed to give light enough, gave
too much light or cast neavy shadows.
Finally a continental idea was adopted.
The walls of a room were painted white.
and under each of a number of arc lights
was suspended a reflector which threw
all the light up to the white ceiling, from
which If was reflected to the room be-

A burglar broke into the home OF
Mr.. Louis Keifer, Station Master of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, at No. 200 Bald
win avenue, at 1870 o'clock this morning,
n Mr.. Herman Martengale, Mr.. kelf-
er's brother-in-law, had an exciting en-
counte with him, in the course of which
a 32-calibre revolver was discharged
twice, once by the burglar and once
by Mr.. Martengale without. however
doing any damage. The intruder en-
tered by the rear basement door by re-
moving a pane of glass and christening
the bolts.
Mr.. Martengale, who is a light sleeper,
heard the noise of breaking glass, n
arising started to awaken Mr.. kelrer
and investigate. AS he entered the hall
way he saw a man trying the door OF
one of the rooms. He sprang upon MN
and grappled with him: The TWO men
surged backwards and forwards for sew
eral seconds. The burglar held a re

was struggling desperately to prevene
him from using IT.. While theg werSS

Mr.. Keifer and Mr.. Martengale were
surprised to find no blood marks In the
house or on the ground, as the shot had
been fired point blank at the fleeing man.
The mystery was explained by an eX-
animation of the revolver, which, II
was found, was loaded with blank cart

which he had taken off on entering the
house were found in the kitchen, and

n. ]. A.. c. TEAMS STRONG RALLY

The interest taken by n-on-members in
the Hudson County Wheelmen's race to
be held on the Boulevard tomorrow after
noon is remarkable. Not only wheelmen
but those who never mounted a wheel
are talking about the chances of the con-
testants and in many cases are making
small bets on the results The interest
centres upon the ) mile scratch race for
the championship of the club. 1t prom
ises to be the most exciting race ever
run in this county. There will be two
races within the race and at least four
of the contestants viii make the efforts
Of their lives.
1t is generally conceded that the first
and second places will fall to Walter
Roome and Billy Darmer, but opinion
is divided as to who will be declared
champion. There has been the hottest
kind of rivalry between Roome and Oar
mer all the season, and 1t mas peen a
case of toss up TO decide which Is the
superior rider. Both have won many
honors on the track and o and each
has defeated the other. Tomorrow Will
decide for this year at least which is
king. Roome holds the two-miie cham
pionship OF Hudson county, won at the
n. J. A. c. races July 1, but was beaten
at the same distance and on the same
track by Darmer on Labor Day. An
other contest which will be hot and in
teresting will be between Henry Rohlfs
and C. V. y. Walsh, who will fight for
third place. Like Roome and Darmer,
they have been rivals ever since the last
clt1hz races and either one of them
would rather lose a leg than be beaten.
Neale Ransom was the only one rider
that was apt to cause Rohlfs and Walsh
any uneasiness and he has been barred
frbn1the championship race. He is
placed on the same mark Will them in
the handicap races and nay prove him
self their superior at short distances.
Ransom has trained faithfully for the
fve-nile race. 1t wa not decided until
Friday night that he could not ride. His
name appears on the programme as a
stzrter II many of his friends want
him to insist on riding and tightl 1t out
after the race. He Will abide by the de-
cision of the club. however, ami will make
up by putting extra efforts into the other
races.
The potato race will afford no end of
amusement, as will also the married
mems race. The married mems names
will not appear on the programme. Fred
Shafto will not be able to rid in any of
the races.
The races will begin at two O'Clock
sharp and will be run between Harrison
and Duncan avenues These who want
TO get a peep at the riders had better be
in their places early.

A NOVEL FOR A NEW BOAT.

Frank Taffff of Whitestone, L. l., is
exhibiting a work model of a move sort
of BOAT which he has invented. The
boat is propelled by four blades, shaped
ike the tail of a fish and made of fiex-
ible brass. Each blade is affixed to a
shaft, which works in and out through
the side of the hull. The blades are at
right angles with the shafts. There are
two on each side of the boat. The in
ventor claims to be able to effect a
great saving of power with his novel
means of propulsion and to attain a
speed impossible with a screw propeller.
