Steubenville, O., July 25.-Eleven
races were run off to-day on the half

The track was in fine condition and the
event was fixture of the National Cir
cult. and was handled by the compe-
tent officials.
The mile open, class B, was a battle
royal between Gardiner and Bald, Bald
tapping his opponents wheel at the
tape. Later in the day Gardiner estab-
lished a new local track record for the
half mile, going in fifty-seven and one
fifth seconds. He was paced by De-

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.

Madame la Mode showers so many
artistic novel designs and shades of
colors on the new cotton fabrics that
it will not be the fault of her toilette
If the summer girl is not picture
this season.
The new cottons are not only ex-
quslte in ornament and elegant in
effect, but they are, what is most de.
sirable of all, inexpensive, and when
made up according to the latest ca
price of la Mode, they are dreams Of
beauty and daintiness. Lovely creped
challies come in a variety of Dresden
effects. Sometimes the whole gown
is scattered with exquisite blossoms or
ornamented with charming Dresden
border.
One cannot imagine the fascinating
and fairylike effect of the new flower
ed lawns trimmed with gauze Pompa-
dour ribbons combined with embroid-
cry or lace. One beautiful imported
gown of green organdle Is so exactly
the shade of June grass that with the
perfectly colored wild flowers scatter
ed over it, the effect brought 10 the
mind is vision of fresh country fields
with bright blossoms. The very full
paysanne skirt is made over founda-
ton slip of pale violet silk. A b ack
gauze ribbon painted with butter-cups
snd tied in knots at intervals borders
the bottom of the dress. The corsage
is trimmed in fichu effect with delicate
null embroidery and the same butter
cup ribbon.
AS for points Of information con-
corning street gowns, the dropping
waists, large sleeves and full skirts in.
crease in popularity.
Mcdistes from Paris bring skirts
very wide, but less stiffened than for
merly. The average width is five or
SIX yards at the foot and close fitting
about the hips. Those like the design
on first page of La Mode de Paris -
for June are specially popular.
An exquisite little summer gown is
illustrated in the Paris Fashion Letter
of the "Paris Album of Fashion"
The most charming and picturesque
group of childrens summer costumes
and dainty little bonnets are seen in
La Mode. The very toilette on the
cover of the French Diessmaker
is a poem in itself. All the above
mentioned journals are published by
the well-kuown house of A. Mcdowell
& Co., 4 West I4th Street.

A FATAL ENVELOPE,
Cut in The Tongue While Licking lta Business
Nan Died.

S. Fechheimer OF Chicago died on
the end from blood poisoning as re-
suit of cutting his tongue while licking
an envelope. Mr.. Fechheimer's death
was a singular instance of the dangers
of blood poisoning, and his case is al
most unparalleled in medical science.
Saturday night he was writing to his
family, telling of Lis successful con
clusion of some business negotiations
He made ready to seal the envelope
and passed the mucilage portion OF it
across his tongue. The edge of the
envelope was sharp and cut Mr.. Fech-
heimer's tongue SO that it bled little.
He thought nothing of it, however,
until the next day, when his tongue
began to swell and pain him. The
symptoms of serious case CT blood
poisoning were manifest to the doctor
who was called to Mr.. Fechheimer's
hotel Sunday. The latter grew worse
rapidly. The poison in the mucilage
got into his blood and soon permeated
his entire system. He was reported a
little better Wednesday, but yesterday
his condition sank and he breathed
his last in the afternoon. Barely drop
of mucilage caused his death.

ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION.
How the Precious Document is Kept Sealed
Under Glass.

The original Constitution Of the
United States was written upon a
long roll, that was afterward cut up
and put under glass in FIVE oak frames
two inches deep, and fourteen by
nineteen inches in size. In four Of
these frames are parchment sheets
easily filling the space, on which are
written the Constitution of the United
States. In the fifth frame are the
signatures and the resolution submit
ting the document to the States for
ratification. This is the original Of
our national Constitution-the only
Constitution our republic ever had.
Most States of the Union have had
from two to half a dozen Constitutions,
and the Empire State has recently
changed its Constitution again.
The lines of this original Constitu
ton OF the United States run across
the sheet, and the penmanship is very
coarse. The preamble, which SO many
of you can repeat, is separated from
the text by narrow space, and there
is on attempt at fancy lettering in the
opening words, as there is in the
Articles of Confederation. Many of
the signatures are the same as are
found at the bottom of the Declara-
ton of independence. The amend
ments, even the very first one, do not
form part of this original, but are
written upon separate rolls of parch
ment, and preserved in tin tubes that
stand in the corner of closet. The
number of these tubes is greatly in
creased by those that contain the
official ratifcations by the States.
The earlier of these ratihcations in.
cludes approval Of the Constitution
and of the earlier amendments. Later
amendments, such as the celebrated
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, adopted at
later dates, required separate ratifca-
tons and separate tubes.-Hdrper'S s

BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
what Becomes Of the Ships That Sinks in
Storm and Battle.

In looking at the ocear, the mind
almost instinctively turns to the fate
Of the ships which have found their
resting place therein. If the reader
we're appointed to inspect the bottom
of the drained sea, he would be sure
to look at once for some remnants OF
this kind, overwhelmed by storm and
battle.
Fancy has depicted these vessels
as thickly strewn over the bottom OF
the ocean, and at times suspended in
the depths, unable on account OF the
density of the water to find their way
down. But all we know of the con.
ditions of the deep leads us, says the
Boston Traveller to believe that
the vessel sinks to the bottom right
away. In few hours at most 1t
reaches its everlasting grave, and is
ready for the swift destruction which
awaits it.
When it reaches the bed Of the sea
it must in part sink into the ooze,
which everywhere is deep. Quickly
the creatures of the sea, who, by long
existence in fields where food is scanty,
have learned to avail themselves of
every chance of subsistence, seize upon
all the organic matter which fortune
has sent to them. Even the masts
and the woodwork will shortly be
honeycombed and weighted down by
encrusting forms.
Ships Of European peoples have
been for centuries finding their way to
the floor of the ocean. Probably
over 100, 900 vessels have met this
fate since the time when our race
first began to spread throughout the
world. Yet by far the greatest part
Of these have fallen upon the shadows
near the shore, where the swift cur
rents and rapidly moving debris are
likely to aid in their destruction and
burial.
How swiftly they disappear in these
conditions may be judged by the ex'
perience Of the diver who has sought
for sunken treasures. Almost invari-
ably, after hundred years or so has
passed, they find that the craft is
quite lost sight of. Curiously enough,
the most permanent records of mans
empire of the seas is being written in
the ashes from the coal fed fires OF
the steamships. This waste is in its
nature indestructible, and the mass oI
material CONSTRUCTED in any one year
to the ocean bed is to be reckoned by
the million tons. In time all the
great ship routes will be paved with
this debris, which will be built into
the rocks, to remain as the most en-
during monument of mans sway upon
this sphere.
