Tho Music Room.

When it is possible, in arranging
your music room, always place the
piano with its back to the room, not
agaist the wall, Us it is SO frequently
seen, 1t is the best arrangement both
from musical and from an artistic
standpoint. AS the plain uncovered
back Of the piano is not usually beau
tiful, one sees in different houses vari-
GUS graceful designs for hiding it..
Sometimes it is beautiful piece of
painted tapestry, a musical subject be-
ing the most appropriate. 1t is hung
from the back by brass rod. Scarfs
of liberty satin or other beautiful
pieces of rich and flexible silk are also
used, kept from slipping by two or
three handsome ornaments, such as a
pair Of Florentine candelabra, few
framed photographs or miniatures of
musicians, or a bowl of flowers.
Against such a background tea-ta BILE
is very effective.-N. Y. Post.

He was a philosopher who had seen
much Of the great world, and had re-
tired from it to the low cabin in the
back woods of northern Indiana, and
as he drove the lockwood pegs home
with certain aim he awoke in me the
overmastering desire to see some of
that same world on my own account.
He seemed to me to know everything
worth knowing, and scrupled not to
part with fractions Of that knowledge
upon the slightest provocation. The
shoe-pegs or waxed ends in his mouth

volubility. Nothing ever disturbed his

MRS. COLT SLIPS UP.
She Is Unable to substnntiate Her
Charges Against Her Husband.

Providence, R. /, Nov. 10-The proceed
ings for divorce begun last month by Mrs.
Elizabeth w. Colt. a social leader of
Bristol, have come to a standstill. The
failure of her counsel to secure the
slightest evidence to substantiate her al
legations of adultery against Col. Samuel
Pomeroy Colt, Will, in all probability, re-
suit in the withdrawal of the petition
from the supreme court Her lawyers
denounce the New Hampshire witnesses
who were not on hand at Conway to make
dispositions.
1t was believed a week ago that some
important evidence might be found in
New York, but ii is now conceded that
only statements of doubtful value are
available there. 1t is thought that the
lawyers for Mrs. Colt made a mistake in
filing the divorce petition prematurely,
before they had secured their New Hamp-
shire evidence relating to an alleged cpl
sode at Jackson, in the White Mountains.
Mrs. Colts divorce petition will be with
drawn or dismissed just as soon as her
lawyers can do so without great publicity.
The end of the divorce case does not,
in the least, affect the standing on the
court docket of the suit of Col Colt
against James J. VanAlen for 100000 for
alienation of his wife's affections.

A GROWN on AN IMAGE.
An Interesting Religious Ceremony
at New Orleans.

An interesting heAAEiOus ceremony
at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Nov. 10.-One of the most
imposing and interesting religious cere-
monies witnessed here in years was per-
formed at the Ursulnes convent to-day
by the dignitaries of the Catholic church
On June p. 1884, Pope Leo granted Arch
bishop Janssens of the diocese of New
Orleans permission to crown the image of
the Virgin Mary. which has been exposed
to public veneration in the chapel of the
Ursulines convent since 1903, with the
title, our Lady of Prompt Succor," the
patroness of all Louisiana.
At o'clock this morning a salute of
twelve guns was fired by a detachment
of the Louisiana field artillery as usher
ing in the great event.
BY 3 O'Clock crowds had begun to as
semble at the chapel, bishops and priests
from all parts Of the diocese being in at
tendance.
At 10 o'clock salvo Of guns announced
that the procession had started from the
convent to the chapel The procession was
composed of children from the various
schools and converts and the sisters of
several religious orders.
Following these were ladies' and gentle
men belonging to the different societies of
the Catholic church.
These preceded the statue of our Lady
of Prompt SuccOr and the two beautiful
crowns, one fer Our Lady and the other
for the infant Jesus, each resting on a
beautifully embelished litter and borne
by young ladies and gentlemen. The statue
was taken to the chapel where it was
blessed, as We're the crowns, by Archbish-
CD Janssens. Solemn high mass was cele-
brated by his grace, assisted by Mgr Mers-
ehaert of Indian Territory, Mgr Haslin of
Natchez, Mgr. Forest of San Antonio,
Mgr, Gallagher of Galveston, Mgr. Nerda-
guer Of Laredo and Mgr Dunn of Dallas,
and a large number of priests.
A salute of guns was fired at intervals
during the evening.
After the gospel had been sung, Bishop
Merschert preached q sermon in French,
and after the mass an English sermon
was preached by Bishop Haslin of
Natchez.
brought the ceremonies to a close.
The clergy enjoyed a banquet provided
by the ladies' Of the coronation ceremo-
MES.
The jewels and precious stones for the
two magnificent crowns and the funds
for making them and all the expenses
of the celebration were collected by a com
mittee of New Orleans ladies, of whom
Mrs W. r. Stauffer was president and
Mrs. Charles l.. Seaman secretary.

New York Despite the Police.


New York Despite the Police.
New York, Nov. 1O.-Throughout the
city to-day the excise law, with a few
exceptions, was generally observed. The
exceptions were where the proprietors of
the saloons were intimately acquainted
with the thirsty ones. Harlem was not
so dry as was the lower portion Of the
city, but that was because there were not
a sufficient number of policemen to thor
oughly cover each one of the saloons.
Commissioner Roosevelt had instructed all
the police captains to strictly enforce the
law, and so far as they were able, they
did so; but they could not obtain ad-
mission to the "speak-easies," which
abound. In some of the saloons men were
stationed who were thoroughly familiar
with the regular customers of the estaD-
lishments, and these men were admitted
without question. Strangers, whether
they had the police face" or We're only
of the thirsty variety, and did not
wear square-toed shoes, with heavy
soles, were invariably turned away, and
told that nothing was being sold on the
premises. The unaccountable relaxation
of the efforts of the police just before the
election had given the saloon Keepers the
impression that the enforcement of the
law would not be so rigid after Tammany's
victory, but the number of arrests made
last night and very early this morning so
thoroughly frightened them that only those
well konwn could obtain refreshments of
the alcoholic brand. Saloons generally

were down and their bars exposed, con-
Quoted either in the cellar of a rear room,
or in apartments above the saloon, and

The police were unable to get into any of
these places, because strangers, or those
not well known to The proprietor, We're
not admitted.
