have on hand the old st. George Chapel
Souvenir Spoon.
The ruins of old st. George Chapel are II
miles from Charles-Town and an object of in
terest. The Chapel is supposed to have been
erected as early as 1750-probably as late as
176O. 1t is mentioned in Henning's Statutes
ct Large as one of the Chapels more costly
than many others. The site, which is on the
lands of Col. II. B. Davenport, is supposed 10
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. 1t issup-
posed to have been more elegant, hence more
costly, than others, because il was located near
where many wealthy Church-of England peo-
pie lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magnifcence
of their houses of worship. At any rate the
present ruin was once grand in its time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed TO have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet
lead the window and door frames OF cedar
wood the floor in thing; the pews and pull
pit in oak-elaborately carved. The soft,
grey old walls in summer time are iyy-hung-
bnt the Chapel. as pictured in the bowl Of the
spoon, is winter scene-the venerable pile
surrounded by leahess trees and the graves Of
the olden-time covered with the beautiful

The Buckle Fad Upon Us


The merry maidens of Gotham are now
collecting buckles. They prefer new
buckle to box of bon bons or bunch OF
yiolets, and when presentations are not nu-
merous their own allowance diminishes with
startling rapidity. Cause.-The boom in
buckles. The dainty summer shirt waists
are, in measure, responsible for this buck
lie craze. They require belt, and the belt
requires a buckle.
The silver buckles are the most popular.
They are long and narrow, or round, and
much ornamented. Some are of filigree,
while Others are plain or oxidized. Buckles
of black enamel inlaid with silver or gold
are effective upon delicstely tinted ribbon
to warrant the price at which they are sold.
One represents gold hoop, around which
a snake has twined its body. The eyes are
glistening emeralds.
Plain gold buckles have the owners mon
ogram engraved upon them. Among the
newest silver buckles are those inlaid with
pale blue enamel. Delicate buckles of tor
toise shell are also seen this year inlaid with
gold or enamel. The buckles which adorn
the tennis belt are sure somewhere to show
a racquet. A new buckle to be worn with
a yacting gown is Of Roman gold, shaped
like an anchor, with bronzed cords coiled
about it. A dainty buckle attached to a
white ribbon belt was formed of a wreath Of
blue enamel forget nots Jewel boxes
made especially for buckles are now being
manufactured

august In kentucky.

In August the pale and delicate poetry of
the Kentucky land makes itself felt as ST.
ence and repose. Still skies still woods,
still sheets of forest water, still flocks and
herds, long lanes winding without the sound
of a traveller through the fields of the uni
versal brooding stiffness. The sun no long
er blazing, but mufiled in veil of palest
blue. No more black clouds rumbling and
rushing up from the horizon, but a single
white one brushing slowly against the
zenith like the lost wing of swan. Far
beneath it, the silver breasted hawk, using
the cloud as his lordly parasol. The eager
ness of spring gone, now all but incredible
as having ever existed; the birds hushed
and hiding the bee so nimble once, fall
en- asleep over his own cider-press in the
shadow of the golden apple. From the
depths of the woods may come the notes of
the cuckoo but they strike the air more
and more slowly, like the clack, clack, clack
of distant wheel that is being stopped at
the close of harvest From the whirring
wings of the locust there flows one long last
wave of abandoned sound passing into ST.
lence. All nature vast sacred goblet fill
ing drop by drop to the brim and not to be
shaken. But the stalks of the later flowers
begin to be stuffed with hurrying bloom, lest
they be too late; and the night-hawk rapid
ly mounts his stairway of flights higher and
higher higher and higher, as Trough he
would rise above the warn white sea of at
and breathe in cold ether.-James
Lane Allen, IN Hupey's Naga;iae.

She paused and the tenor took up the

Nee-ee-ee-ther DO they spin.
The tenor ceased, and the basso, solemn,
red.haired young man, with a somewhat
worldly-loOking eye and voice like a fog
horn, broke in:
Nay ay-ay-ayiher do they spin.
They toi-oi-oi-oil not,

Then the voices Of the three were lifted up
in semi-chorus:

San Francisco, Cal, March pa
man went into the Office of the San
Francisco Savings union this morn
ing and presented a written demand
for money to Cashier VIM. A. Her
rick. The demand was refused, where
upon the desperate murdered the cash
Ter and fed, but was captured q few
blocks away.
A note was presented to the muir
dered cashier which said if nothing
was given to the bearer he would
blow the building and all in it into
everlasting nOthingness. After glanc-
ing at the document, Her1ick returned
it with shake of the head
The man quickly drew a revolver and
fired, but his aim was bad. Herrick
seized a pistol which lay on the desk
and the cashier and desperate fired
simultaneously. The former missed,
but the latter's bullet passed into Her
rick's heart.
AS the murderer turned to fee,
bookkeeper G. S. Melvin sent a number
of bullets after him, two of which took
effect
After a short but lively chase, the
man was captured under a vacant
house. He gave tie name of Fred
Bennett and said that he was from
Denver. He was seriously wounded
by Melvin's bullets, one striking a
temple near the eye, the other lodging
in the left shoulder.
The police recognized him as Freder-
icks, an ex-convict and for a long
time a member of the band of Chris
Evans. He killed Sheriff Pascoe. He
also killed a Southern Pacific brake
man named Benjamin Bruce, and is
the man who supplied the arms to Geo.
Sontag and his companions at the time
they made futile attempt to escape
from prison.

SANGER SALTED.
The Slump in Silver Strikes Him
Heavily.

Milwaukee, March 24-The slump in
silver has hit Caspar Sanger and other
Milwaukeeans hard. The mines in
California owned by Sanger, Daniel
Wells Jr.s and Bradley & Metcalf were
the Waterloo, the Burning Moscow and
the Oregon mine. Two years ago an
English syndicate offered 100000
for the properties, but the owners
wanted 100000 more, and the deal
was not closed. 1t is said that they
have been operated at a loss for some
time, and that Sanger, at least, has
lost nearly everything he possessed.
He has been obliged to pay S1O4, 900
to the Bradley estate for money adj
Vanced, and to do this he has trans
ferred all his property. At present, it
is understood, he owes to the other
stockholders 100000, and his stock
may have to be sold to satisfy the debt,
though who will want to buy stock in
losing venture is not clear.
