B,GohR's DRESS SUIT.
Tho Thrifty rarneIiite who Walked Rather
Than Fay q Penny.

Auou hhy " heuuys
Talking Of the speakers dinners to
members, at which, in compliment to
tho official position of tho host as repro.
sentative Of her majesty in tho house Of
commons, levec dress or uniform IL
worn by tho guests, I was once told o
funny story Of the late Joseph Biggar,
the thorny tempered deformed little ba-
con merchant who was tho ~aristocratic,
refined Parnell's first ally and for some
time his only follower In parliament.
Biggar was not n poor man, but he
was u thrifty one, and he hated the idea
Of spending money OH o court dress.
Yet Mr.. Parnell liked his party to ap.
pear at the speakers dinners as assert.
Ing their privileges Of parliament 30
Biggar undertook the irksome expense
Of hiring . court suit in which to 60 to
dine with the speaker. The man who
told me tho story. another member who
was not dining officially that night,
was in the habit Of going home with
Biggar ON tho top Of the last tram
they lived near each other out Lambreth
way somowhere-and ON this night the
quaint little form Of Biggar appeared In
his smart, trim dress, sword, paste but.
tons and all, without even an overcoat,
to 60 home, as usual.
His companion demonstrated, but in
vain, nor would Biggar even consent to
ride as far AZ the tram would have taken
him, but got down, a. was his custom,
at the extreme point to which q penny
conveyed him and walked the street
thence to his rooms. His companion
went 80 far as to offer to pay the extra
penny out Of his own pocket, but Biggal
refused sternly. He was savage Mt the
foolish expense to which he had already
gone and would not have oven q penny
more made Of Il.
A man capable Of such indifference tc
costume has O right to demonstrate
about feminine attention to dress, bu,

Farragut's Death.

Admiral Farrasut's death was due to
the selfishness of q woman, Rev. James
j. Kane, chaplain of the Brooklyn navy
yard, said in a recent lecture. The ad-
miral and his wife We're coming from
California, when a woman occupying q
seat in front Of them in the car opened
Q window. Admiral Farragut was i'll,
and the strong draft of wind which blew
directly upon him chilled him. Mrs.
Farragut asked the woman courteously
II she would not kindly close the win.
dow, rs it was annoying to her husband.
The woman snapped out: "No, I won't
close the window. Idon't care If it does
annoy him. ] am not going to smother
for him." Admiral Farragut thus
caught q severe cold, which resulted in
his death. A few days before the end
came he said, IF l die, that woman
will be held accountable"

Care OF Curtains and Portieres.

When any cleaning or sweeping is in
progress, the heavy curtains and por.
there's should be removed and after being
thoroughly brushed and shaken should
be allowed to hang in the air until the
rooms are cleaned and ready for their
return. Heavy hangings will absorb the
odor from cigar smoke or from any food
which may be cooking, and the greatest
care should therefore be taken that they
be kept well aired. The doorway cur.
tains may be so easily removed and
placed in position again that there
should be no excuse for any unpleasant
odor being attached to them. james

"Perhaps one Of the most peculiarly
prepared luncheons ever laid before
hungry people was one which we had
when we were showed up in the theater

rical man to q reporter. Upon this
night, in the brief interval after the
people left the theater, while we were
dressing to 60 to our hotel, q terrific
snowstorm, such as You can only find
in tho west, came up. The snow drifted
against our doors and all about the
streets, 80 that we had to remain oil
night in the theater. Of course we got
hungry, a actors will sometimes do,
and we began o search for something
eatable.

thunder was a sheet Of tin or iron
which was shaken to make the roar Of

were at q loss for means for producing
heat. Our property man suggested that
we use lightning, q powder Of lycopo.

stage, for the fire. We found quite o

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-General
Antonio Ezeta and his fellow refugees
are prisoners at last by authority Of
the United States district court The
warrants of arrest were served yes
terday afternoon. Early yesterday
morning the local federal officials re-
seived notification that the differences
between the navy department and the
department. of justice had been COM
promised at least in a measure and
that the naval authorities Of Mare
Island would permit the United
States Marshal to serve the war
rants The navy department main
tanned it's position on one point, how
ever. 1t would not furnish transPOr-
tation for the marshal and his dePu-
ties to the gunboat The marshal,
too, was determined to uphold the
department of government which he
represents. He refused to charter
tug, and there seemed a posi- Dillty
that the refugees would be left to die
of old age on the high seas Dr. Cal
d9rOn, the local consul OF the Saliva
dOrean government, finally interced-
ed, however, and prevented any serl-
Gus rupture between these clashing

able for the night in the marshals
office, and soon after were visited by
their attorneys The lawyers would
not say what they would do, but the
men will be brought before Judge
Morrow and the attorneys will prob
ably apply for writs of habeas corpus
To reporter Ezeta, who does not
speak English. told his story with the
assistance of Lieutenant Coffin of the
Bennington as interpre ter Ezeta
saws that between April % and May
three battles were fought near Santa,
in which his forces we're defeated
Ezeta was wounded in the head on
May and was concealed in a house
Two weeks later, with three hun
bred of his followers, he made his
way to the sea coast There he found
the Bennington and asked for refuge
until the steamer San Bias should ar
rive on her way north. four days later.
When the San Bias arrived, the
refugees were not allowed to board,
the Bennington Ezeta explains the
charge of murder against him by say
ing that he did not kill the man, but
that a teamster, who tried to inter
cept him, was shot by one of his
men, an American. Lieutenant
Coffin corroborated this story.
As regards the baker robbery Ezeta
says he took the money from the
baker and gave his receipt for it as
president of the repu bile, and used it
to pay his soldiers This, he claims,
he had a right to do do under the
laws Of the country General Busta-
monte, who is accused Of hanging
four men, states that ne hanged them,
but said the men were deserters from
the army. In fact all the offenses
charged against the refugees are ex-
planned by them as being committed
while attempting to fulfill the laws
of the country.

Every part of postage stamp making
is done by hand. The designs are en-
graved on steel-2O0 stamps on a single
plate. These plates are linked by two
men, and then are printed by girl and
a man on a handpress. They are dried as
fast as printed, and then gummed with
starch paste made from potatoes. This
paste is dried by placing the sheet in a
steam tanning machine, and then the
stamps are subjected to a pressure of
2, 600 tons in a hydraulic press Next
the sheets are cut so that each one con-
tains 100 stamps, after which the paper
between the stamps is perforated, and
after being pressed the sheets are taken
away. If q single stamp is injured, the
