THE ARMOR-PLATE SCANDAL.

The naval authorities and some Con
gressmen seem to be suddenly impressed
by the improperly of having anything
to do with 'informers." or, as they put
II. Of paying rascals for disclosing their
own dishonesty In the matter OF the
armor-plate charges,
This does not seem to be exactly the
correct view OF the case. The informers
have not been the r~ascals. The guilty
parties must be those who alone could
have benefited by the fraud. the members
OF the highly protected Carnegie Com
pany.
Nobody admires an informer. But In
this case the alleged frauds are of such
an Infamous character, involving as they
do the risk Of impairing the honor and
glory of the nation, as well as sacrifc-
ing the lives OF it's brave defenders,
that no means should be neglected or
despised that will insure their detection
and exposure.
1t would be n burning disgrace to the
Government II such crimes as those al
legged against the Carnegie Company
could be ,ettled by the payment of a
paltry fine.

James Derby.
The actors had taken two friends
on the stage behind the scenes. contrary
to the rule Of the theatre. TIT stage
manager told Derby 20 order them
away. He did so, and Maffe and Rohde
resented It. Their resentment ended in
a black and blue eye for Maffs. Tran
guilty was restored at .this point in
Difference TO the death of Hamlet. Later,
however, hostilities were renewed.
Maize told his fellow-actors of the
indignity he had suffered. and offered
his damaged eye in evidence. An am
buscade VAS formed outside the theatre,
into which Derby walked after the per,
friends and assisted by IRohde, closed
in ON the stage carpenter.
In the melee which followed Derby
was struck on the nehu, IL is Saiu, with
a heavy cane. which inflicted IA severe
scalp wound. He gave the grand hail
ing signal OF distress, and several stage
hands ran to his assistance. The actors
fled. and Derby was taken into a near
by cafe for repairs.
Fearing that the stage hands, who
espoused the cause Of Derby, would
make a vendetta affair of 1t. the actors
called for police protection. According

for a divorce. and who. since his wife
began her suit three years ago, has mar

Col. Pennington declares that he re-

he was informed that a decree had been
granted to Mrs, Pennington. Shortly
after that he went to South America on
business. There he met Miss Beatriz

After he returned to this country he

Thibetan Girl Slaves,

The scu-ch'uanese are much given to
selling girls, and very large numbers
are exported yearly from Cn'ung-ch'ing

Eastern cities. The price usually paid

seven to ten taels. They are kindly

them, receive a liberal education, with

At the Elevated station at One Hun

against the Manhattan Elevated Rail

vigilant she could have seen the hole and
not attempted to board the car at this

The Demand for Lace.

Lace counters are besieged from early
in the day until late. AS a matter of
fact. laces are used on day and evening
dresses and on garments of all kinds.
Besides the guipure laces there are mi.
tations of guipure. which will be used
on Summer washable dresses. Guipure
de venise Is a pretty lace for shoulder
frills and jabots. This is used in
combination with velvet or demi-
season light cloth dresses. The effect
is charming, as in case of an ecru conf
bination with m~ignonette green velvet
and his lace. Other laces OF the season
are the point ~venise. point Milan, point
de Flanders, point applique, Irish point,

cheaper varieties which are still very

question is. Why do they not? Has the old in
