Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt did not ride well when she first came Ecre She ha5 lladeh before, think, but she was not beyond the need of Johnson. I saw her early one morning on the avenue well out beyond the marble house, jn region not much frequented at that hour. She wore a simple white duck. skirt with a pink blouse, a cos tune she has since discarded for the nattier attire affected by her mother. She could not or did not get up speed enuugh to keep her balance, and John son lectured her smartly-there's not an aristocrat of the whole he's afraid of in the interest of finding soft and safe landing places in the grass for Der. When the mornings lesson was over tie white duck had good many green stains. Miss Consuelo rides better now. She can go out to the country club w'thoGt a single slip or swerye.
 Mrs. l. Townsend Burden is another of Johnson's fashionable pupils, and she does credit to her teacher. Mrs. Henry Clews rides with him also, but is not yet ar exhibition scholar.
 Hrs. Herman Oelrichs and Miss Vir- ginia Fair have been under Johnson's futelagc, and probably Miss Fair is his star rider. She doesn't hold ths record for speed, but Newport records don6 count for much; there isn't a really fast rider here. Miss Earring. ton, who has beaten Miss Fair, would be laughed off the track in any place where girls are really athletic, with her p&Itry ten miles i'll fifty-three minutes, but she looks we'll on wheel and so does Miss Fair, who has a deal of pluck and endurance, and is out on the ocean drive every day.
 Johnson has taught Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll and Mrs. H. Mortimer Brooks, who drives six horses a day and yet finds time for cycling.
 Two of the prettiest of the black teachers pupils are Miss Evelyn Bur den and the beautiful Miss Whittier, o+ Boston, who is visiting her.
 Johnson doesn't encourage boomers fife believes in short tailor skirt witt cycling shoes and Ieggings Indeed, doubt if he ever saw anything more radical here. Nobody rides for speed everybody rides fer grace, and tht great bloomer question, which prac tieally has been settled everywhere else, hasn't so much as begun to burn Newport doesn't care for athletics I only ''bilzes" as fad and that withou too much exertion.

Cool and ComfortahIe.

A sensible head rest is one covered with white or pale tinted duck. It is sensible because it is cool and firm, and will bear repeated visits to the laundry and be none the worse. An inter-lining is imperative, whether the head rest is filled with down. curled hair or clipped paper, that the cover may be easily re- moved. Finish with buttons and but ton holes at one side; ruffie of torchon lace may be added if it is desired, or a frill of the covering material. Upon one side embroider with black Roman floss, design of peoples or of hop blos- soms in etching stitch, or in long and-short." -Womanlxind

 When Philadelphia or southern belle catches the Newport infection and goes ont with Johnson she is apt to tie sie2vy brown or dark blue veil over ief lace, so thick that she cannot be 'seosnlzeo.

self-Complacency.

There are some people whose self complacency seems hard to disturb. A well-grounded idea of their own value and self-importance may account for their enviable state of mind. and it is comfortable never to be troubled with doubt that one is not just as good as the next man" But another cause of assertive self-complacency must be quickness of wit which can always cap some one else's achievement with another equally as good. Whether or not the self-complacent mood be agree able to the egotist or the reverse, it's too frequent display is apt to make person appear somewhat ridiculous. An old copybook axiom declares that ''modesty is the banner of merit, and boastful persons are apt to make claims which their social world discounts. 1t is well for most of us to aim at high CT eminence, not to rest satisfied with our present attainments. The poet who speaks of a divine despair" had not foolishly complacent people in his minds eye. --Harper's Bazar.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The reported
kidnapping Of the officers of the United
States ship Concord at Chin-K Kaing in
China reached Washington at too late
an hour to permit it to be enquired into
Up to 10 o'clock no news OH the subject
had been received by any of the govern
ment officials. The news will create q
profound sensation, and, unless later re-
ports show that the captured officers are
at liberty, other vessels will probably be
hurried to the scene. Knowing the con-
dition of the Chinese at the present time
and the way in which they are likely to
deal with prisoners, there will be great
anxiety until the safety Of the party is
assured

FROM WHENCE HE CAME.

North Dakota School Teacher Dcported to
Canada.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Feb. 4.-When
w. M. Cochrane, early in December, re-
signed the principalship of the public
schools at Mimic to become private Sec
retary to Governor Allin, the Mimic
school board engaged Professor Alex
ander Mcconnell of Toronto as his sue
cessor. When the latter arrived to take
charge of the school he applied to County
Superintendent Woods for the required
cert. ticate of examination. The super
intendent declined to grant the certiti-
cate on the grounds that his employment
was an infraction of the alien con-
tract law. Mcconnell subsequently took
a state examination and received state
certificate, but Il protest was made by
the Mimic people and the matter was re-
ferred to the authorities ut Washington.
Wednesday morning Mcconnell was ar
rested 10y immigration Inspector Eyford,
on warrant issued by the secretary
Of the treasury, requiring the deport.1-
ton of the school teacher to the country
from which he came, and he was taken
across the Canadian boundary line. The
affair has caused quite a commotion here.

THE FIGHT STILL ON.


Old Railroad Brotl,erhoods Opposing the
A. .R. u.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The fight between
the American Railway union and the
old railroad brotherhoods, which ante
dated the big strike Of last summer and
became more bitter at that time because
the old brotherhood men refused to join
in the strike, has not been softened by
the hand of time; instead, the feeling
between the rival bodies has apparently
become more intense. Sunday the sub
ject was discussed at length by 200 or
more leaders Of the Order of Railway
Conductors and an almost unanimous
express. on was found in the adoption Of
a resolution recommending to the COM
ing biennial convention Of the grand
division that the line be drawn in the
order to exclude all members who refuse
to renounce allegiance to the American
Railway union.
There are many members of the Order
of Conductors who are also members of
the American Railway union. The
leaders in the meeting insisted that no
man could serve two masters, that no
conductor could hold q membership III
two organizations whose interests were
inimical and between which there was a
constant warfare.

that Mexico will not recede from her

are being made in that country with
the greatest haste and on a large scale.
Special ENJOYS are arriving at the capi-
tai from other Central American states
and commissioners sent by President

The Universal, leads to the belief that
Barrios is continuing to work hard to
secure an alliance with the other Cen
tral American states in case Of hostili-
ties with Mexico.

POLICE WERE BUSY.

Strikers aud Sympathizers Make 1t Lively
at Brooklyn.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 4.-The police spent
q busy day in their efforts to preserve
order and prevent the crowds that gath
cred in the various tough districts from
maltreating the non-union men in
charge of the trolley cars. In several
instances the motormen were severely
beaten before police assistance arrived.
No riots, however, of a serious nature
occurred during the day.
At Third avenue and Fourteenth
street the track was encountered with a
great pile of boards, boxes and other
material of heavy nature. Every car
that passed that way was held up by the
obstruction and while the conductor
and motorman were engaged in remov-
ing the debris they were pelted unmer-
cifully with bricks, mud and snowballs.

merely strike sympathizers and street
loafers, but they We're just as enthusias-
tic as though their lives depended upon
the outcome of the strike.
