Miss Jessie Alderman Arrives in Chicago
 After a Trip of 15O,OOO Miles.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Miss Jessie Aclxer- man, an 'around-the-world" mission ary of the Woman's Christian Temper ance union, arrived at Chicago yester- day after trip of 15O,OOO miles, which she claims is the longest journey ever made by a woman.

Table Manners In Persia.

The Persian lady knows not the use of the knife and fork, or, if she does, scorns to make use of them. All her food is spread upon the floor and eaten with the fingers, practice which, in spite of numerous ablutions, still leaves the hands of the fair one tritle greasy. She cats frequently, more for distraction than from hunger, and de- yours fruit, sweetmeats and pastry be- tween meals, washing them down with copious draughts of sherbet. Altogeth- CT the fair Persian would seem to lead a particularly easy and aimless exist enca

DAMAGE SUIT WITH BRAZIL,
Abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaties to
 Result in Litigation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The abroga- tion of the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Brazil is to have sequel in the filing of claims and begin ming of suits against this government for the total amount of duties collected on Brazilian goods covered by the reciprocity treaty from August 27 last, the date the new tariff law went into offect, up to January 1 next. In the aggregate these duties will reach several hundred thousand dollars and may reach into the millions. The total cannot be estimated even approximately as yet. The claims will not be made by Brazil as government, but by indi- vidual importers of Brazilian goods. The first step toward making the claims will be by filing protests with the treasury department against the exaction of duties. The claims will in- volve test of the right of congress to pass law which violates what it will be asserted is a contract provision of treaty.

The feathers are unornamented and uncut in any way. Nature provides the col ors and everything but the ribbons. There are no sticks. Tho ends of the quills are inclosed in a bit of round pin-ball-or it looks like pin-ball. It is very stiff and covered with yellow plush, and the quills are glued into it fast and strong. A narrow yellow rib bon is woven through the quills next to the feathers, and below it broader ribbon of the same shade.

CATHOLIC CHURCH LooTED.
St. Joseph's Cathedral In Memphis Desc
 crated by Thieves.


 MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 10-Thieves entered St. Joseph's Catholic church last night, broke open the tabernacle, stole several gold and silver vessels, carried off the contribution box, smashed statue and tore down the drapery around the altar and chancel. The booty secured by the burglars is very valuable and some of the relics cannot be replaced, having been donated to the church by the vatican, and by friends in Europe. The police believe the rob bery is the work of gang of negro footpads and burglars, who have re- gently committed many depredations in South Memphis, and several arrests are expected.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Judge Nc. Comas, of the district supreme court, to-day denied the application of the Miles Sugar Manufacturing Co.,, of Louisiana, for a mandamus to compel Secretary Carlisle to appoint inspectors to ascertain the sugar production of the company. The object of the suit, it was understood, was to test the legality of the recent repeal of the sugar bounty provision of the Mckin- ley law and also to lay the foundation for an appeal to congress for payment of bounty for the current year,

A Dog Trained to Steal.

Frederick Hampton, 45, described as a
fishmonger of London road, Croydon,
was charged before Mr.. Biron at the
Lambeth police court with stealing and
receiving lady's silk umbrella, value
rs. 3d., the property of Louisa Squires.
The evidence already given showed
that on Saturday the prosecutrix was
walking along Remington Park road
with an umbrella in her hand. She saw
trap coming along and a dog running
behind. The dog came toward her, took
hold of her umbrella and shook it, and
she let go.
The dog then ran off with the um-
brella in the same direction as the trap.
The prisoner, who was driving, was
afterward arrested, and upon searching
the trap the policeman found seven UNI
brellas, including the one identified by
Miss Squires.
A second case was gone into. Mrs.
Henrietta Ray, the wife of DR.. Ray of
East Croydon, stated that at the begin
ming of last month she was walking
along London road, Croydon, in COM
pany with two other ladies. The wit
ness was carrying a sunshade. A dos
suddenly ran up to her, snatched her
sunshade and ran after the trap, in
which there were two persons. That
morning she saw the sunshade at this
court.-London Graphic.

How difficult it is in winter to keep
ones feet even presentable in appear
ance! Sidewalks are sloppy, crosswalks
are muddy, and the air is so cold that it
hardens shoe leather until it is no unusual
thing for it to crack and become sorry
to look upon. Nothing can be done actu-
ally to prevent the season from telling
upon the wearing qualities of shoes, but
great deal can be done to prevent them
from becoming so badly injured as they
might otherwise be.
When shoes have become very muddy,
the worst of the mud should be knocked
off with thin strip of hard wood, which
should be kept for the purpose. A very
stiff brush will then take off the rest of
the dirt Now, apply a dressing made
by mixing 2 drains of spermaceti oil, i
pint of vinegar, 8 ounces of treacle and
a ounces of finely powdered ivory black
The vinegar should be added last. This
will make the shoes look almost as well
as they did before their rough treatment

the party emblem. Let there be but one
way of voting, by stamping the square
by the side of each person that you wish
to vote for. A voter once instructed to
stamp the square to the left of each per.
son that he wished to vote for will not
only not confuse, but actually expedite
voting. Another feature of the law
which should be changed is the ease with
which a partisan board can throw out
ballots as defective. AS protection in

the ballot be protected after it is cast, so

Storms on the Sun.

The velocity with which solar storms
move is very great, and they sometimes
extend over a space several times as
large as the whole of the earth's sur
face. In common parlance they are
called "sun spots," but as they are
known to have rotary motion exactly
similar to terrestrial cyclones they may
be regarded as true solar storms. 1t has
been computed by eminent astronomers
that these sun storms move with the
astonishing velocity of 1870 miles per
second, and we can best form an ade-
quate conception of what the force OF
such a storm must be by comparing 1t
10 an earth storm moving at 100 miles
an hour, which is indeed terrible hur-
ricane. Darlington and Hodgson, the
English astronomers, describe a sun
storm which travelled 80, 900 miles in
five minutes, and in 1871 Professor
Young of Cincinnati witnessed one that
Travelled lG6 miles per second for 40
minutes and constantly threw sheets of
flame and fiery matter to a height OF
not less than 200, 900 miles above the

A Common Word just Now.

"How do you pronounce the name Of
the island kingdom which wants to be
annexed to the United Statesy' is ques-
ton frequently propounded and various
ly answered nowadays. The most COM
monty accepted pronunciation, and the
one authorized by Lippincott's, Worces-
ter's, Webster's and the Century die
tionaries, is, for the name of the princi-
pal island of the group, "Hah-wi-e," ;" the
second syllable accented, and the Il"
pronounced as in "pine." The same ques-
tion was once asked of high caste Ha-
waiian lady, well educated in her own
and the English language. She answered:
"The proper pronunciation is Hah-
vah-e-e. There is no w in our alpha
bet, and no letter nor combination of
letters which take the sound of Wv as
in English. The missionaries who first
translated our language found it diff
cult to pronounce or express the sound
which is, to my ear, correctly conveyed
by the letter " softened and made full.
Our "a is pronounced broad, as you pro-
nounce it in fall, and our Il is like the
English e.. The rule is to pronounce
every vowel, and as the exception to the
rule does not affect the double Il in Ha-
waii, you will see that the word is 'Hah-
vah-e-e.'"
The insistence upon the ''v" instead of
the Wv" sound is considered, even by some
of the well educated and all of the uned-
ucated, as something of an affectation,
and one hears "Hah-vah-e-e" on the
islands, instead of "Hah-wah-e," about
as often as 'vahse" instead of "vase" in

Portable Pianos.

An invention, which would be for
tune to the inventor and manufacturer,
is portable piano-that is, keyboard
of six octaves, inclosed in plain case
Al inches long, 1S inches broad and 8
inches deep; each note to be very faint,
but pure, distinct and as correct in tone
as the best pianoforte manufactured;
part of the top of the case to open and
show the keyboard, with small folded
easel for the music to rest upon, the
other part of the top to open to allow of
the instrument being tuned.
Such an article would be invaluable,
as it could be placed on a writing table
or dressing table in bedroom, and the
tone being faint its use could not annoy
other people when the amateur was prac-
ticing. 1t could be carried about in a
leather case as ordinary luggage, and
when not in use could stand in corner
of a sitting or bedroom. The price
should be moderate, as such an instru-
ment would be sure to become very pop

Among the many seekers for truth
who daily tap The Times reservoir of

Which is the proper way for gent

The question submitted by "L. l.. l."
is received with the utmost satisfaction.
Standing alone, it is a refutation of
those cruel SANDERS and gibes in the

their fugitive existence. 1t has been

zens are too ardent in the pursuit of the

l.. l. Out in Bridgeport for instance,
the gent being unused perhaps to every
day association with the ladies, ap-
proaches the subject with trembling, but

his nerve.
"Gimme some barbed WIRE" he says
to the man in front of the back bar
"What dyer wash wid?'
"Scltzer, fer chaser" and the pre-
liminaries are thus arranged. Then the
gent goes to the other end of the hall
with proud, naughty front, lays his
hat on chair and his cigar with it and
says:
YOU'RE my pick, " to which the lady
responds, "Well, catch on den," OF
maybe invites him to go take walk.
Over Humboldt park way the process
is much the same, although the Ian.
guage is different At Uhlich's hall,
over by the bridge, there is slight differ
ence, except that the gent who is wise
in his generation wears his hat and
