the Chevy Chase estate, and was at one
time the home of Justice Bradley, of the
supreme court. 1t Is the purpose of the
club to enlarge 1t by the addition of ball
room and more commodious dining-room
Delightful hunt breakfasts are given
there, and the Chevy Chase teas have an
element Of piquancy quite foreign to the
town affairs. OF all the merrymakings of
the gay season the pink coat cotillons
are the winners for novelty and "high
tone.n
Very many Of the bellies of the capital
are excellent cross country riders, and
some of them follow the hounds in fine
style, and frequently capture the brush
The daughters of Mr.. Francis Newlands
are rare horsewomen. They have hunted
in Merrie England, are experts at polo,
drive tandem, play golf, and crowd the
clubmen closely for honors in outdoor
sports. They have stable full of fine
horses, the favorite being an imported
Irish mare, Mavoureen.
Two of the daughters of the British am
bassador, Miss Pauncefote and Miss
Audrey, are fine cross-country riders
Miss Lillian and Miss Sybil more often
but Sir Julian rides a fine bay mare,
Daisy. MIR. and Mrs. Alan Johnston often
ride with the legation party.
Princess CantacuZene, daughter of the
Russian minister, is a very graceful
equestrienne, as are, also, the Misses
Mendonca, of the Brazilian Legation.
Without doubt the most dashing andsikll-
full horsewoman in Washington Is Mrs
Middleton, and her mare, Kathleen, has
few rivals. There, is nothing in the way
OF a stiff jump that phases either her or
her mount. Miss Audray Pauncefote
rides almost daily with Mrs. Middleton.
to whose careful instruction she owes
much of her skill and grace in the saddle
Miss Howard is close second to her sis
with reason, that her thoroughbred,
Charley, is second TO the equine aristocrat
in Washington.
Miss Enloe, daughter of Tennessees re-
preventative in congress, can scarcely
remember when she did not follow the
hounds, and in genuine fox hunts Miss
Enloe is one of Washington's most attrac-
tive girls. She is never prettier than
when her bright eyes sparkle at the
sound of the sound OF the hunts-man's
horn.
Mrs. Alexander Legare, daughter of
Judge Cox, is a very graceful equestri-
enne. Her favorite mount is a fine chest
nut gelding, Gamebird, but Duke and
Duchess of her stable do equal credit to
their fair owner.
The Misses Letter all ride we'll. They
have stable fun of fine animals, their
habits have the London cachet, and
they always have q very stylish APP
pearance mounted. Miss Letter is the
only one of the three who rides 70 tlss
hounds.
Miss White, daughter of Mrs. Howard
White, and granddaughter of the million
aire ex-senator Sawyer, is horsewoman
who always attracts attention by her
grace and skill.
Miss Rochester, one Of the fairest of the
seasons dehutantes, cousin to the Count
ess of Craven, is another good cross-coun-
try rider. In fact, the hunting set is COM
prised of "the bravest and the fairest" of
Washington's beau monde.

This is the story of man who can
sleep only in standing position. His
meis Theodore Won Elfrich, and life
has become such a burden to him that death
will be positive relief. 'One morning
a few weeks ago Won Elfrich walked
into the business Office of q Philadephla
newspaper and took position beside the
radiator His object was to find q
warm place where he might sleep IN
the only attitude possible to him-an erect
position Now he comes there every day
and remains until the janitor requests
him to leave in the evening AS he sleeps
he keeps half-smoked cigar in his mouth
and leans his elbow on the radiator
Sometimes he makes a pillow of his arms
and rests his head upon them. Occasion
ally he slips to the floor and awakens
with shock. Then look of terror may
be observed on his face. One day the
ianitor asked him why he stood here all
day asleep,

Agricultural Society.

A meeting of the Alpena County Ag-
ricultural Society was held Friday, when
the fair ground was leased to the Alpena
Driving Club. The Driving Club will
have possession of the fair ground and
buildings for a term Of fifteen years, but the
society retains the right to use the entire
ground and buildings one week In each
year. The Driving Club Is to keep the
buildings in repair and protect the prop
erty Of the society. The Driving Club
has built one Of the finest half mile trot-
ting tracks In the country, at an expense
OF several thousand dollars, besides max
ing many great improvements to the
ground, among which the most notable
is the clearing and leveling Of the ground
inside the track. Tho lease provides for
the Driving Club erecting grand stand,
of which full particulars were given In
this paper last week, but it Is provided
the Agricultural Society shall pay for the
grand stand at the expiration Of fifteen
years, what the building is actually
worth at that time.
We consider the Agricultural Society
has done wisely, and they will receive
more benefit from the arrangement than
will the Driving Club. The only use the
Agricultural Society has for the ground
Is for the purpose Of holding the annual
county fair, and 1t will be at no expense
In looking after the property during the
81 weeks that they would not be used
The grand stand alone ought to produce
good revenue during the fair week, and
the great Improvement to the track will
have tendency to increase the attend
ance during fair days.
The cost Of the improvements made
by the Driving Club is equal to rent Of
at least $500 per year for the length of
the lease, without counting the expense
the club will be to In taking care of the
ground.

Saturday the men were taken to Bay
City by deputy U. s. Marshals Winney

animation, and no doubt be tried at the

considerable spurious coin. Branscomb
admitted he had made nickles during
many years, but had not made large
amount.
The officers deserve credit for the work
they have done In discovering the coun-
terfeiters. 1t is believed others are con-
