DANGERS OF SHOPPING.

The fine parlors and waiting rooms
which are now to be found in the big
dry goods stores have been put to a
peculiar use by the pickpockets and
stamping ground. Recently the porter in
one of the Fourteenth street stores found
a pocket book in one OF the waste bas-
kets in the ladies' parlor. When opened
at the superintendent desk it was found
TO contain check for $50 and number

hunted up the address of the person to
whom the check was made payable and
wrote to her. She came down the next
day and proved the ownership of the

PLATINUM AS A MONEY METAL.


"Once upon a time" said Mr.. c. o.
nected with the only platinum refining
plant in the United States, Russia
concluded to try the experiment of US
ing platinum as money metal There
is really little of that article found any
where else on the globe, except in the
Ural mountains in the cars domin
ions, and having monopoly of the
precious stuff the idea of using it as
coin seemed plausible. But it didn't
prove a glittering success, and | have
never seen any coin made of platinum
by that government dated later than
1874.
'sHere is one of the samples of the
Russian experiment" said Mr.. Baker,
taking from his pocket a piece about
the size of silver quarter. 1t bore the
date 1880 and had some Russian char
acters on it signifying 1t to be of the
value of six rubleS, or about $4.75 in
American money.
'T gave $11 for it, however" said
Mr. Baker, and its intrinsic value is
worth nearly that amount. OF course,
no other country produced any of it to
speak of which may be a tip to some
of our silver friends. Platinum is lower
than it was two years ago, being worth
now $1,000 an ounce, though a while
back X was worth SIT an ounce. At
its present price it is just about half as
valuable as gold 1t is the heaviest of
metals, it's specific gravity exceeding
that of gold about 5 per cent, and SO
Guctile that it can be drawn into a

AT MONTE CARLO.
A Strangers First Impressions of
the Gambling Resort.

We drove to Monte Carlo today and
stayed to lunch, after which we went to
the Casino to see the gambling. Monte
Carlo and the adjoining strip of land,
Monaco not more than four miles square
altogether, form the principality of Mon
AGO and belong to the prince of the same
name, who obtains the bulk of his reve-
nue. from Monte Carlo. This is now the
only public gambling done in the world.
The building itself is very handsome
but gaudy, with a great deal of red
marble and gold ornamentation about it,
Each person on entering has to present
his or her card, and, if a man. has to
swear to being Il. A ticket is then handed
them and they go in as we did. We first
entered a square marble hall with doors
opening out of it. We turned to the left
and. passing through double doors, found
ourselves in a sort of vestibule, which
led directly into the large gaming hall
beyond, which again led into smaller
rooms with more tables. Around each
with their little piles of money, either
gold or silver, in front of them, and their
pencils and note pads all ready to check
down every play, while their eyes were
fixed with the intensest interest on the
roulette wheel in the center of the table.
No one spoke, and the click of the balls
as they dropped into the holes and the
rattle of the money as it was raked
cues of the attendants, or hauled in by
some old habitue who might be winning
a few hundred francs, were the only
sounds we heard.
In the center of each table were seated
six men, three on one side, two of whom
were on high chairs little back of the
others. They are the men who have
charge of the game, who spin the wheel
and pay the money, or, in other words,
hold the bank, while at each end is a
man who places the money on the spot
indicated by the better, and no gambler
is allowed to reach over the table for his
money. No scenes of disturbance of any
kind are allowed. If a man faints, as
often happens attendants are on the
spot in a second and have him away
before anyone knows what has occurred.
Perfect order prevails and no talking is
permitted. The sin is elegantly polished
till it shines for the eyes. Not so the
poor wretches who go there day after
day to their sure destruction.
In the room beyond the game was
cards, rouge ct noir, and for much higher
stakes, nothing but gold and bank notes
being on the table. An old woman and
a young girl was seated at one of the
tables 1t was a sad sight to see them
putting up their gold and then watch
with eager eyes and bated breath until
they knew if they had lost or won. One
man while we were standing there made
a whole handful of bank notes, but he
| had the good sense to get up and go
| away before he lost them all again.

Incidents Leading Up to the Recon,

New orleans. July 1S.-The CORE

steamer Gussie lengthy report of the
occurrences there preceding the fight
at Corn Island
Trouble began on the night of July
8. The month before the merchants,
who had advanced money on the scrip
issued by the Mosquito government, re-
ouested General Cabezos the Nicarag-
lIan governor. to take the scrip for du-
ties. He refused point blank to rec
ognize the paper and the merchants de-
cidsd to pay only in the scrip. This
soon reduced the revenues of the gov

HOW GIRLS AMUsE THEMSELVES
The Latest Fads Among Society Girls
Are Collections.

The latest fad among the up-to-date
girls is collection of hearts-silver ones.
A pretty girl, who must have new fad
each month, started this, and there has
been perfect epidemic of hearts among
the bellies of the town.
The correct way to wear these is to
nave long silver chain, such as one
uses for their lorgnon, and to fasten at
the end of this heart shaped key ring,
then commence collecting.
All sizes and styles and fashions are
permissible, and the more unique the de-
sign the better. 1t really is taking the
place of the bangle craze which was the
popular caprice of all the smart girls
about three or four years ago.
On the chain of my progressive girl
found the daintiest hearts, from one the
size of shoe button to great fat one.
These are given by my lady's admirers
and many and various are the inscrip-
ton. One had the word Pete" an
other simply date ''94' one Mr. Char
lie and still another, panty" Some
of these had jewels set IN them, and one
had star with turquoise IN the cen
ter.
These fads Of collecting and wearing
certain adornments are most prevalent,
and one girl l know collects lorgnon,
from the smallest to the largest size, in
silver, turquoise shell and gold.
Another fashion is that of wearing a
small enameled box of these chains, US
ing it as bonbonnieres for candies or
dainty rose leaves, and still another is to
attach the silver purse to them.

most alIuring colors, and some were
painted by celebrated artists. She had
them in paper, done on canvas, in water
color, and finally had frieze of them as
decoration around her boudoir.
The daintiest and most bewitching
beauty has a lot of skeletons of various
sizes. Tiny ones no bigger than small
finger adorn the mantel, the larger ones
that are absolutely CHASTITY decorate the
top of her dressing table.
A collection of garters is the within of
one matron and her case is filed with

are extremely pretty, and those in heart
shaped to contain the photograph of the
donor, are set in rubies and pearls.-Bos-

dial sociability. The city is not old
enough to have it's exclusive set, and
all that is required for admission to
the inner circle is a fair degree of anna
bility and good character. No ques-

is given little consideration.

He Made His DenoaIt.

There is more or less humbug about
the traditional slowness of the messen-
ger boy. At least, there is one of them
in Kansas City who is abreast of the
age in which he lives. This uniformed
urchin keeps an account in one of the
banks, and it is growing rapidly, too.
The other day he went in to deposit
so cents The teller, with more than
his customary haughtiness, informed
the boy that deposits of less than 81
could not be received by the bank.
The youngster wasted not word in
argument, but quietly walked to a
desk, wrote check for 81 and pre-
scented the same at the window of the
paying teller. The check was hon.
ored, of course. Then the carrier OF
messages revisited the receiving teller.
I'D like to deposit Sl.50, If you
please" he said.
The deposit was accepted, and the
receiving teller was very much cha
grined.

regular attendants, and help to make

bachelors unite to give a bachelors
ball. and this, of course, is the most
brilliant of the series.
Aside from the clubs which play so inn
portanta part in the social life of Grand
Rapids, there are any number OF
beautiful homes where hospitality is
dispensed with lavish hand, where
men and women, the young and the
old, delight to assemble for social
pleasure. Until the death of Daniel Ii.
Waters few months ago Oakhurst was
the center of the city's social life. The
house is large and old-fashioned, with
spacious parlors and coy retreats; it Is
surrounded by noble trees and in the
midst of a veritable park. Mr.. Waters
was open-hearted and cordial, and it
was pleasure for him to have friends
around, especially the young people,
and with Mrs. Waters it was the same.
In winter Oakhurst was the scene of
many charming party and in summer
the spreading lawns afford every
facility for outdoor entertainment.
Miss Mabel Waters was the queen of
the social festivities; young, beautiful,
finely educated and perfect hostess,
and was assisted in her social duties by
the young and pretty southern wife of
her brother, Dudley L. Waters. Oak
hurst is in mourning now, however,
and is closed to society. Mrs. Morris
Cassard of Chicago is sister of Miss
Waters, and, before her marriage,
reigned as gracefully as does Miss
Waters now.
