WEDDING DRESSES TO HIRE.

New York Girls Can Have Nice rrous.
ssaus Loaned for State Occasions.
From the New York Herald: Madi.
son street "braces up little down
near the police station and thereabout
is nest Of curious shops. One of them
has in the window. in English and He
brew, this sign:
wedding dresses to hire"
1 went into this shop the other day,
explained after struggle that was
prompted by curiosity and not by a de-
sire to prepare for approaching nup-
tfals, and asked just what the sign
meant.
The proprietor led me into a rear
room-a sitting closet that reminded
one Of Turkish bath-lifted the lid Of
big chest and pointed out pile OF
white satin garments. little faded, but
wonderfully befiounced and bedizened.
There" he said.
And do women who are to be maj :
ried come here and hire these dresses
and return them after the wedding?"
Many do"
"Why?"
well, most women here can't afroi q
nice wedding dress, but they all want
to look beautiful on their wedding day
SO have these dresses and SO they
come to me-"
Then one of these dresses has been
worn by several women"
Maybe hundred. One dress costs
them dollar, better one two or three.
1t Is great risk. They are not always
careful. Some. however, are very good,
and bring the dresses back to me with
their own hands the next day. do not
think there is much money in the trade,
though. Perhaps not so many get mar.
ried now. Is the East side getting rich
that 1t can afford wedding dresses OF
its own, or poor that it cannot afford
to marry?"
And 1. not knowing, had to leave him
struggling with his own problem.

Mr.. Curtis, In one of his letters to the
Chicago Record. says:
There are no schools in China except
to educate men to office.
There is no postal system except that
conducted by foreigners under consul
lar Jurisdiction between the treaty
ports.
There is no currency except brass
coin called "cash." of which 1000.

There are no banks outside the for

There are no street lights or sewers.
or sidewalks or water works, or water
closets outside the foreign settlements
In the whole eripire.
There is a telegraph line erected by
foreigners between the principal cities.

THE BICYCLE FACE.
A Chicago Genius Has Discovered The
Source of II,

A Chicago Genius Has Discovered tAs
Source of It
II have discovered the secret Of the
bicycle face" said the man who spent
most Of his time loafing at the club
window. II know the cause Of 1t and !
know how to cure 1t. I'll bet can cure
the worst case of bicycle face that was
ever seen on the streets of Chicago"
Going to begin the manufacture Of
patent medicine?" asked one Of the
other loungers.
Medicine nothing! It isn't Q case for
medicine at all! it's case for little
Investigation and the application of
common sense. A blacksmith could cure
It better than a doctor. and the bicycle
manufacturer better than q blacksmith.
I made study of the question during
a short trip out of town. was in lit
tie place up in Wisconsin. and noticed
that while nearly every one rode q
wheel there was hardly a single hag-
gard, woe-begone bicycle face to be
seen. The riders looked as II they
were enjoying themselves. and that is
something you seldom see IN Chicago.
"Of course. wondered Why it was,
and in the end find the matter settled
at least to my own satisfaction. The
secret of the bicycle face lies in the
handle bar of the bicycle. The most
horrible and chastity faces to be seen on
the streets of Chicago to-day can be
changed by q slight operation per-
formed upon the handle bar Of the
wheel. The bent handle bar is the
cause of the bicycle back or curved
spine, and the bicycle back is what.
makes the bicycle face. The people
that saw while I was away, who
looked as If they were enjoying the
ride. sat upright on their wheels; the
people see in Chicago, who look a. If
they hadn't friend on earth, have to
bend over to reach their handle bars
and then throw their heads back in
the most extraordinary and uncom-
Portable angle in order to see what IL
In the road ahead of them. That gives
them the bicycle face; that and nothing
else. II you will watch them you will
agree with me. You will never see that
haggard, worried expression on the
face Of one who is sitting upright ON
his or her wheel. You will never see
1t absent from the face of one who IL
trying to make a semi-circle Of his or
her spinal column."-Chicago Post.

Both kinds of kidney sickness are
dangerous.
Both can be cured by DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
One Of the most wonderful facts of
our body is this natural filter inside
US. Our kidneys are very important
organs. We don't take enough care of
them. We are sick oftener than there
is any need for. 1t is simply because
we take no heed to our kidneys.
Sick kidneys show their effects in
many different diseases.
Rheumatism and Bright's disease
are very common. Anaemia, Neural
gia. Pain in the Back. Dizziness, Blad-
der Troubles, Gravel. Diabetes, Sleep
lessness. Nervousness.
These are only a few symptoms, or
so-called diseases" Back OF them all
are the sick kidneys.
Once the filters can be made to work,
all these symptoms will disappear.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are made principally from the roots Of
the asparagus plant. which has a spe-
cial curative action on the kidneys. It
gives them new life and strength. 1t
helps them to do their work as It ought
to be done. 1t cures their sickness. It
cleans and renews the filter.
When the kidneys are we'll you will
feel a great difference at once. Your
complexion will clear. and your whole
body will gel renewed life and fresh
ness.
This 10 the effect of DR.. Hobbs Spar
agus Kidney Pills on the sick kidneys,
Of the re-vitalized kidneys on the i'm
pure blood.
With course of DR.. Hobbs Spara-

Ask Turkey to Put Stop to the vio-
lence.
Constantinople, Oct. 5.-After a con-
ference of the ambassadors yesterday
energetic representations were made to
the Turkish foreign minister complain
ing of the excesses committed by the
Musselman populace on the prisoners
and wounded on Monday and Tuesday.
Many of them were dispatched with
bludgeons, while others We're most cru
ely maltreated. The representatives
of the powers begged the foreign min
lister to take measures to prevent the
foreign residents of Constantinople
from suffering and to restore order.
The United States minister, Mr.. Alex
w. Terrell. also made representations
to the Turkish government requesting
that steps be taken to insure the safety
of the United States missionaries in the
Koumkapon quarter.
Messrs. Chirton and Hunter, the newI
ly appointed United States consuls
started for ErZroum and Harpoot, re-
spectively, to-day without their exc
quators. The British consul at Trebi-
zonde has been instructed to grant them
every facility and protection In the ac-
complishment Of their journey and in
establishing themselves at their posts.
The Turkish quarters are guarded
throughout the night in order to i'm
press the Mussulman inhabitants from
coming out and renewing the distur-
Dances.
The city is now tranquil. although it
is still patrolled by troops and police
and there is yet much apprehension
among the Armenians. The Sofas
were especially guilty of great excesses
on Tuesday. and especially, during the
raid on the Armenian quarter which
they made at night. AT Tookursches-
me, near Stamboul. the students and
populace broke into the Armenian
building, killing fifteen persons and
woundinG thirty-iive others. In addi-
ton, 1t is said. that they conveyed the

WAS A VIGOROUS AMERICAN.
He Cared Nothing for an Ordinary Chin
csc Mandarin.


London, Oct. 5.-A letter to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Ku Cheng, pub
lished this afternoon, dilates upon the
fact that the only fighting man sent to
Ku Cheng with the commission ap-
pointed to inquire into the massacres Of
missionaries was Lieut.. Waldo Evans of
the United States cruiser Detroit, in
spite of the fact that two British gun
boats were lying at Foo Chow. The
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
adds that when the party arrived at
Ku Cheng the mandarin in command
there refused to allow the members of
the commission to attend the trial of
the accused vegetarians, whereupon
Mr.. ]. Courtney Hickson, the United
States consul at Foo Chow, who was
the most energetic member Of the COM
mission, peremptorily demanded in the
most vigorous language the right OF
being present at the trials. He said he
did not care how great a person the
mandarin was, he would stir up all the;
powers unless he was admitted and
gave the mandarin four hours in which,
to made up his mind.
