In Chicago.
CHICAGO. ILL.,. July 3O-Commander B.
NJ. Schaffner of the Illinois naval militia
has secured the services Of fifty trained
band musicians, chosen from a list Of
nearly 1000 applicants from all parts of the
country, and has organized a body to be

Band. The band will be quartered on the
eattleship Illinois and will be carefully
trained. the idea being to give Chicago a
musical organization which may, in the
course of time, become as famous as the
Marine Band of Washington. 1t will be
Leard in all the fetcs of the naval militia
and 1t is designed to have the band give
two popular concerts weekly during the
autumn in downtown hall. T. b. Brooke
a composer of note. as well as a bandmas-

band.
The uniform of the marine musicians
will be patterned after the regulation uni
form of the United States-blue in winter
and white in summer with naval insignia
in gold bullion.

FAULTS IN FICTION.

Story Writers Who Mistake the True
Symptoms Of Villainy.
The true modern story will introduce
a girl with eyes of Opaque, restless,
glittering; girl who never looks you
in the face, with beetling brows, fat,
fOrmless, shuddering ugly, yet with an
unselfish spirit burning her within;
one who works and connives and slaves
that others may enjoy the fruits of her
abnegation: the face is not a mirror of
the soul, as any fool can testify: a cam
did, soulful expression often masks in
ward crookedness and contortion.
The lovely, petite fairy-like beau
ty who charms all by her pouting way
wardness. but who insinuates herself
into the graces of even the most skep-
teal, it is she who plans the villainies,
who is as shallow and as heartless as
an eggshell, broken and empty. Stories
have been written on these lines, but
always with line or paragraph of
preparation.

It was a strange sight, had there

London's Collection of Helmets of Fire.
men Killed on Duty.
Few people, according to one Of
Messrs. Cassell's publications, know
that at the headquarters of the Metro
politan fire brigade in Southwark there
is a room containing sad and grew
some mementos of some of the greatest
CONGREGATIONS in London. These arc
none other than the helmets of firemen
who have been killed in the execution
Of their duty. The collection was
started in 1868 by the late commanding
officer, Capt, now Sir Eyre Shaw.
One can see at glance that the loss
of life has been comparatively small
because the helmets are few in num-
Der. But they are black and battered,
crushed into almost unacceptable
shapes, and to each a card is attached,
telling in brief official language
who was the owner, and how and
where he met his death. They are u
strange contrast to the bright, glitter
ing headgear we see worn by firemen,
as, seated on the engine, they dash to
the scene of some outburst of the fiery
demon. They are all ,charred by the
flames; some are dinted and burst,
while others look as if traction engine
had passed over them.
Here is one: The top part has been
completely carried away, the rest is
jagged and black, and the chin guard
is cut in twain. Only piece of bat
tered old brass to the ordinary eye, but
when it was clear FURNISHED helmet
its owner was hero. The official card
has the following: Joseph Ford, who
died from injuries received at the fire
at Gray's Inn Road in 1871, after saving
six lives g
Lying on a piece of sacking are
the remnants of the clothing and &C
coutrements of a fireman named ia
cobs, who, being literally hemmed in a
blazing room, was roasted to death at
Wandsworth some three years ago.
There is but half yard of charred coat
left; the leather pouch is all scorched
and burnt; there are his key and
Ratchet, never to be used again, while
the helmet is blackened with the
flames. but otherwise little injured. AS
helmet after helmet is turned over and
examined, one can not help thinking of
the awful agony some of the wearers
must have endured. The collection is
a gruesome one, but it is interesting

The Ritual OF the Great New York POllt-

OF the great associations in this
country the society of Tammany is
probably the best-known, but there are
many things about it that not one per-
son in a Thousand even in New York
city ever learns. For instance, there
are probably not over five hundred per-
sons outside the members of the soci-
ETY. who know that the ritual retains
auy of the old Indian customs. or that
the society has songs of its own, which
are sung almost every time it meets
Tammany was named in honor of st.
~Tammany. or Tomenund, the great
chief of the Delaware Indians. who was
noted for his sag acity. wisdom, and
kindliness and is supposed to be buried
in the Delaware river near Port Jervis.
Some wears ago all the officers used
to wear Indian costume. even to the
headdress of feathers. but now they
wear ONLY a sash. The sachems wear
blue silk sashes decorated with beads,
which traditions say were strung by
Indian maidens. Each also wears 1.

also decorated with beads, and they

CURACAO CORDIAL.

First Made by Negroes = south Ameri-
can Island.
| Off the northern coast of Venezuela
| lies little island named Curacao, or
Curacao. about forty miles long and ten
wide at its widest part, which has cut
quite figure in history. 1t was settled
by the Spaniards as early as 1897, and
107 years after it was seized by the
Dutch. then at the height of their mari
time glory. In 1898 and again in 1906
it fell into the hands of England, but
was finally coded back to Holland in
1914.
Since then it's only claim to fame or
talisman for the attraction of COM
mercial attention has been the dreamy,
luscious, truly tropical liquor, or
cordial, which bears its name
The thrifty Dutch planters, after
exporting for many years sugar, cot
ton, indigo, tobacco and salt, which is
now the main export of the island, dis
covered that from a species of small,
bitter orange, the citrus, aurantium
curassuviensis, which grew in wild
abundance and to which no special
heed was paid, peculiarly pleasant
drink was rudely distilled by the negro
OF course the Dutch planters, with
superior methods of distilling, i'm
proved on the rude invention, and in
process of time only the peel of the Bit
ter orange came to be used, not the
fruit itself. This peel was cut off in
rings or pendant spirals, and then
dried, after which it became an article
of comm cree, sent principally to Hol-
land, for it was only for few years
that the liquor was made on the spot
in any large quantity.
To-day curacao is made in Italy,
France, Germany, Spain. England and
America besides, but still the Dutch
brand is considered by connoisseurs as
far superior. OF this there are several
varieties, but lie ruban-vert, or green
ribbon, curacao is accounted the best.
This again is sub-divided into two
kinds, the red and the white, and of
these there are four grades, the doux,
or sweet, the demi-doux, the see, or
dry. and the triple sec.
The oranges whose peel is preferred
are now mostly grown in the south of
Europe, and a yellow kind as well as
green is much in vogue. These oranges
as in spiral strings, or ribbons, but one
of the principal manufacturers of this
cordial in this city imports chiefly the
green-ribbon kind, but because there is
much less waste to it, the peel being
twice as thin, and therefore half M
leathery.-N. Y. World.

STYLISH HATS FOR SUMMER.
Flowers Are Popular, But Wings Are the
Feature of the New Millinery.

| Flowers Are Popular, But Wings Are the
Feature of the New Millinery.
The first thing to strike one on glanc-
ing at the summer hats and bonnets is
the extraordinary amount of trimming
they all carry. Hats are miniature
| flower beds Flowers have rained, nay,
| poured, down upon the millinery world.
They have landed on everything in the
way of headgear Often, too, they have
landed with more force than discrimi-
nation by coming, evidently to stay, in
three or four sorts upon one small bon
net.
Milliners say, and with truth, that
bonnets are small. They certainly are.
It is the lappets and flowers and buckles
which keep the seasons bonnet from
being altogether invisible, by reason of
it's size. A small bonnet recently seen
was made entirely of jet sequins,
and not very many of them either
But it had in front wing bows of
frosted jet and cream guipure, jetted
osprey with some cut jet spikes and
stars, and toward the back cluster of
rose geraniums, with some sprays trail
ing down over the hair. Gold and
black is the color scheme of another
dear little French bonnet. 1t has a
rolling brim and sides to the crown,
but no top, and through the aperture
thus formed nod yellow roses and two
ends of bow of chiffon contrasting
with the gold band of the crown and
the little rolling chiffon-covered brim.
For such bonnets the hair needs to be
dressed high. Bonnets which use the
hair as the only crown in the style of
the coronet ribbon hats are to be much
used. A bonnet of this sort is formed
entirely of wings, set at different
angles with two pink roses in front as
the only trimming.
Roses, with other things, appear on
nearly every hat. One of the few ex-
ceptions seen in a swell milliner's is a
large hat of Tuscan chip with a lace
lined brim. A big, green, satin rosette.
holding sprays of 1ilacs with foliage,
made graceful trimming.
The only exceptions to the rule of
flowers are those novelties which have
hardly yet found their way in the shop
windows. They are hats smothered in
tulle, with a pair of wings on either
side, or a couple of birds, by way of or
nament. In spite of all that has been
said and written on the subject, birds
are coming into vogue again. wouldn't
wear one for the world, indeed l feel
some conjunction in telling you that
if you want to be particularly chic in
the matter of millinery you must dis
card flowers and trim your hat with
tulle and birds forthwith. tulle col
lar finished with past bucket and u
bow, or tied scarf-fashion under the
chin, looks very pretty with n tulle-

and the burden of collections was upon
his heart. He made personal solicita-

called on one brother who had been in

the pastor was ANXIOUS. "hen the
brother began by talking of the hard
