Dinner Party Etiquette.

A dinner party is a formal function,
and specially demands dignity OF man.

dies Home Journal. II the continentaf
fashion is followed. and ladies and gen.
tlemen leave the dining room at thu
same time. you go out as you came In.
II the English fashion obtains, and the
gentlemen remain to smoke and talk.
rise when your hostess gives the signal,
stand quite still until you see your
chaperon, and then fall in line behind
her, passing, not too quickly, the gem
tlemen. who are all standing up. and al

Learn to walk we'll and not to "trot.
A dinner invitation should be acknowl--
edged, and either accepted or declined
within three hours, and the changing
OF ones mind about 1t Is neveh per-
mitted. A witty Frenchman said: Only
death Is an excuse for not keeping a
dinner engagement, and even then a
polite man would send the undertaken
to apologize for him."

Two Attempts to Wreck a Train.

Two attempts were made to wreck a
Big Four train near Benton Harbor.
The first attempt was made five miles
south of Benton Harbor, where the
train struck dummy car, which had
been placed on the track. The car
was demolished, and the forward part
of the engine was injured. Two
miles further, while moving at slow
rate, the engine struck pile of ties,
causing a delay of two hours. This
last accident occurred at the most
dangerous part of the road, and had
the train been running at its regu lar
speed a fearful accident would have
been the result. There is no clue to
the perpetrators.

Carmencita, the Spanish dancer, who
was a sensation in this country for
several seasons, is regarded with only
mild interest by the theater goers of
London, where she is now appearing.
One critic of her first performance
explains her failure to fulfill the extrav-
agant anticipations of her audience by
stating that the Grenada beauty was
suffering at the time from influenza.

When last in this country Carmencita

Col. John A. Cockerill, in his last
letter from Yokohama to the New York
Herald, says that everything in Japan
is for country; everything for the noble
emperor" He also gives many Incl
dents showing the unselhsh patriotism
of the Japanese soldiers anxious to die
for their country, and parents rejoic-
ing rather than mourning over their
sons killed in battle. 1t is not surpris-
ing that the victory should be with such
a people in their war with China. They
represent just the opposite of the Chi
nese, who have no respect for their SOL
diers, and treat them little better than
slaves.

The striking ore trimmers and the

at Marquette. The Pontiac arrived at
6 o'clock, and William O'Mara, who
has a contract to trim her, started for
the dock at the head of 30 men, mostly
imported from Ishpeming. They were
escorted by Sheriff Broad and 10
special deputies taken from the i'm
ported men. The old trimmers met
them in front of the first pocket and
on the first attempt to advance further
a collision ensued. The deputies fed
without a blow, leaving the sheriff
helpless. Quite a number on both
sides had their heads broken, but
there are no serious injuries reported.
One of the rioters was arrested by
Marshal Malonev. The sheriff has
called on the local company of the
Michigan National Guard and they
were placed under arms. The Pontiac
left with her load without trimming.

THE HAREM AND SLAVERY
4 Slave Is Submissive. Obedient and Anx-

Slave Is Submissive. Obedient and Anx-
ious to Please Her Lord and Master.
For the service of the harem as at
present constituted slaves are indis-
pcnsable, 1t being unlawful for a free
Moslem woman to appear unveiled be-
fore any man not a near relative, while
to slave who is the property OF her
master or mistress no such restriction
attaches so far as they are concerned
Since the abolition Of the public slave
market the private trade in slaves has
become much more general and widely
spread than 1t formerly was, and Is
carried on TO a great extent by ladies
of rank, some of whom are themselves
emancipated slaves, says the Nineteenth
Century. In addition to the negresses
and other women OF unattractive ex-
terror, to whom the mental duties OF the
household are assigned. these lady deal
ers pay large sums for pretty children
OF from to 10 years Of age, who are
carefully trained for the higher posi-
tons they will probably be called upon
TO occupy. Many Turks prefer, for va
rious reasons, to marry women who
have been brought up as slaves. Mar
riage with free woman is, indeed, a
very expensive matter for a young
bridegroom and his parents, owing to
the lavish outlay in presents and en-
tertainments required by custom on
such occasions. Consequently II faith
er cannot afford to marry his son to a
maiden of his own rank, he purchases
for him a slave girl who has been edu-
Gated in some great lady's harem, and
no expense is incurred beyond the pur-
chase money. A slave. having no posi-
ton Of her own, is submissive and ODE
dent to. and anxious to please her lord
and master, has no troublesome pre-
tensions or caprices. and no interior
ing relatives to take her part against
him. A free woman, on the other hand.

A sea story from San Francisco says
that the coal laden ship Wachausett
recently encountered a gale, with high
cross seas running. During the height
of the gale a terrible wave came down
upon the vessel, sweeping her full
length. Four seamen were washed
overheard. The four men were carried
some distance off, only to be swept
back to the vessel again by a tremen-
dous cross sea. Three of them were
violently thrown upon the deck. The
fourth man was washed within reach
of the lower sheet, which had dipped
to the rolling craft. He grabbed it,
held fast, and was hauled safely on
board. 1t is difficult to say whether this
story should have been sold to a soap
factory or a dealer in cosmetics. 1t
seems to be strongly impregnated with
lie and certainly ii is the greatest wash
ever offered to the American people.

The death of a switchman from heart

The death of switchman from heart

dreadful tragedy. A man who was
acting as switchman was found dead
in his shanty, with some of the switches
out of order. He had died suddenly
before he had replaced the switches as
they should be, and it was only because
he was discovered before a train was
due that casualty was averted. Moth

A clergyman in California prayed
publicly for a woman holding a city
Office, and she sued him for SANDER
and secured a verdict. The court ruled
that public petitions of this character
intimated too plainly that the individ-
ual prayed for stood in need of such
essary in praying as in other affairs
of life. "a little louder, please" said
a man to minister who was opening
a public meeting with prayer. II am
not praying to you, sir" was the quick
reply. If the jealous Californian con-
tinues praying for this woman it will
be so that only one person can hear
him.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Important DocuIn ents.

WASHINGTON, Nay 15.--According
to, ,advices received here important
British documents have been found
at Honolulu as to the pending British
Venezuela boundary question in which
the United States has urged arbitra-
ton as the means Of settlement. AS
sistant Surveyor General Curtis j.
Lyons of Hawaii has examined them
and has made map accompanied by
a statement which, it is said, supports
the Venezuelan contention even on
the British. The records brought to
public attention by Mr.. Lyons were
furnished Hawaii by the British For
eign Officers when Hawaii was mon
archy, largely under British control.
They are on file in the Surveyors of.
flee at Honolulu. Lyons was led to
make an investigation by the publica-
ton last month of the official British
map Of the Guiana territory. On
comparing this with the one furnished
by the British officers twenty years
ago he found the boundary line en-
tirely changed. The first map gave
the line as Venezuela claims it should
be. The last map shifts the line far
westward and includes as British
territory about 10000 square miles,
which the first map shows to be
clearly Venezuelan territory. rhe old
map was made by the Royal Geo
graphical Society of England, and was
thereafter given official approval and
sent out by the foreign Office. 1t is
considered of scientific as well as off
cial value. Mr.. Lyons says: The
area thus taken in as shows on these
maps themselves is 10000 square
miles or more, larger than the area of
either Massachusetts or Vermont.
What the Venezuelans are claiming
we have not means of knowing; but
it is very natural they should claim
mt least that British Guiana should
adhere to the original map.
