HALF THE TOWN BURNED.
Clayton, on the St. Lawrence River, Visited
 by Disastrous Fire.

by Disastrous Fire.
 SYRACUSE, July 12.-A special from Clayton, on the St. Lawrence river, says that the worst fro which has occurred there within the history of the town broke out in the barns of the Hubbard House. For a time it was feared that the whole village would be consumed. As it, is over half of the business portion of the town Is in ashcs and from $75, 900 to $1OO, 900 worth of property is destroyed.
 The fire was discovered by James Steele porter in the hotel, who found the up- per portion of the barn mass of flames He gave the alarm, and several horses and other live stock were with difficulty res cucd. The village department, constitut- ing one engine and two hose companies, responded to the alarm and soon had a couple of streams playing on the flames Ihc efforts of the men were apparently useless, however, for within a few min utcs the fire had spread to the hotel and adjoining buildings.
 The 40 guests of the house were at sup per, and when the alarm was given there was wild rush to the rooms to secure property and belongings. Everything of value it is thought, was taken from the building, which was completely destroyed. A brisk southerly wind famed the flames, and It was soon seen that the department was inadequate to keep them under con- trol. Dispatches were sent to Alexandria Bay, Carthage and Watertown. Engines were sent on special trains, and within TWO hours were at work subduing the fire.

THE WORLD OF SPORT

Cross of Pittsburg made three hits of Nichols on Tuesday--as many hits as he had made in nine previous games.
 Strange as it may seem, St Louis has won five game out of nine from Baltimore The runs stand 43 to 40 in favor of Balti- more and the hits S5 to S4 in favor of Baltimore. St Louis has made the most totals. 116 to no. and leads in fielding. 20 errors to 21.
 Earl Wagner has offered three of the Washington players and $1 ,000 in cash for Outfelder Clark of the Louisville club, and as the club is losing money very fast there is possibility of the offer being accepted. But who are the three unfortunates that Wagner will let go?
 The report that the Pittsburg club has offered $25, 900 for the release of Breiten- stein, Quinn and Ely appears absurd What the club would do with Quinn and Ely is not known; as to Breitenstein, if some on. hould make bona tide offer of $5. 900 fo1 him there is no doubt that Won der Ahe would accept it., and spend a portion of it in getting a ,secoud-olass Ditoher

WELLESLEY'S FAIR COACH.
Miss Lucille Hill, the Bob Cook of the Fla
 mous College For Women.


 What Miss Lucille K. Hill does not know about rowing would fill very slim pam phlct and would make very little show whatever in book. She is in charge of the department of physical training at Wellesley college, and her particular fad is rowing. She is a young woman of ideas and enterprise and introduced rowing at Wellesley about four years ago. She believes that a girl with sound heart and strong lungs should have an opportunity to enjoy all the sports that men indulge in, and that of thesc sports ono of tho most enjoy able and beneficial is rowing.
 Every girl at Wellesley who is strong enough and desires to do so may go in for rowing, and there is great rivalry among the numerous candidates. The freshmen usually have two or three crews on the water to struggle for the honor of being the class crew, and the important ques- tion is decided each year upon float day, '' the great annual aquatic event at the col lege Miss Hill each year visits several of the colleges whero rowing is practiced to perfection, and not long ago she was the guest of the Yalc crew at New London. She is cousin of Captain Fred Johnson

The Dccalence of Sarlou,

Not q >in@lr announcement from New York mana: tCrS and actors abroad has reached New York about new plays by Sart!ull- Two seasons ago the Sardou play Was like the Worth gown. All the actors got 'elm, and most of the managers signed contracts for those that the actors hadn't got, and now there is darkness on the sub ject and nothing more. ''Sardou," said a manager recently, "has almost exhausted his popularity in this country. The ahso- lutc failure of "A Woman's Silence in both New York and London injured the playwright worry considerably. It showed folks that their idol was but clay. And Gismonda' did not help him very much 4 was an excellent play of its kind, but people had tired of the kind"

of last years Yale crew, and this year the Yale style of rowing-the Cook stroke is in high favor among the fair devotees ot the sport at Wellesley.
 Miss Hill is new woman enough, how ever. not to take anything for granted be cause some male aquatic expert has told her that such and such thing Is so. She never fully accepts advice until her own practice has proved to her complete satis- faction that the thing in question is the proper thing to do. The sport has become so popular at tho college that tho crews be- gin training on rowing machines in Feb ruary each year, and in April, as soon as tho water Is frce from ice, the oarswomen get out upon the lake, There arc now six eight oared shells at Wellesley, and they arc usually kept very busy.

PANAMA HAT \ Accomplishments.

thank heaven the summer has come.
But there are straw hats and straw hats,
besides Panama and chip hats, which
are not straw hats at all, though be-
longing to the same genus. Time was
when the Panama hat, with its grace
full, curving broad brim and its some
times rounded crown, was the swell
summer hat par excellence in every part
Of the land, but that time has passed.
When the Panama hat was worn by the
jewellers on Uncle Sans farm, the men
who wore them were wont also to wear
their hair long, we'll oiled and perfumed
and to support ambrosial Dundreary
whiskers and linen coats. Paper collars
were worn, too, then, not perhaps by the
real swells, but by a grade Of men who
would not dream Of wearing anything
but linen neck ~circlets nowadays. The
fashions in neckwear, too, were then
such as would horrify most men now. I
cannot speak exhaustively upon them,
but there was one knot much affected 80
or 40 years ago in the inland cities of the
east, and not unknown in the west, that

In New York, as the ingenious special
writer's Of that interesting town are fond
OF asserting, a man might walk up
Broadway clad in a scarlet jacket and
knee breeches, n leg Of which might be
red and the other yellow, without at
tracing any special comment. In fact,
there could hardly be devised a dress for
man, and scarcely one for woman, that
would create much of a sensation ON
New York's busy main thoroughfares,
and the same is measurably true Of Chi
cago, but I am sure that if a man should
walk up Broadway wearing a Panama
hat Of the vintage Of 1860, with all its
accomplishments, half the people he
would meet on the sidewalks would turn
and stare at him. But the Panama hat
is not banished. entirely. There are
places where it is yet to be found in all it's
old time glory. Havana is one of these,
I understand, but in most American
towns, especially New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, whose men assume to be
the only ones in America who dress and
hat themselves correctly, the Panama
hats name is Dennis, and no mistake.
For some years in those and most other
cities but n style of straw hat has

STRAW HATS OF 1895.

to wear a sack coat he was decidedly
out Of it, the high hat being properly
worn only with a frock.
This holds good even now in New
York, and the seasoned New Yorker has
q very decided opinion Of the man who
wears a sack coat and a plug hat. There
are some in New York who are DESTROYS
Of introducing the London rule that
any n who is anybody shall wear both
a long coat and a high hat, but it is not
likely that they will yer succeed. New
York is a far more cosmopolitan town
than London in some respects, I'm told,
and while you may bind a great many
men Of n nationality by iron rules Of
dress you cannot we'll regulate the hats
and coats Of a city full Of men from ev-
cry civilized country and some uncivi-
lized ones.
The matters say that soft hats have
gone out again now, and that no one
will wear anything but stiff hats next
winter. I doubt the correctness of their
predictions, for the New Yorker-he
who has to ride on elevated or suburban
trains especially-has now found out
what a nuisance a stiff hat brim is by
contrast with the soft one, particularly
when the wearer is going home early in
the morning, and falling asleep leans his
head against the seat back. At such
times the stiff hat is a delusion and a
snare, by reason Of its tendency to tip
over the eyes and fall off, while the soft
hat curls up comfortably, forming a sort
of pillow, which adds greatly to, the
pleasure of ''forty winks." The soft hat
has another decided advantage over the
stiff one, in that it does not break I'M
der hard usage as the derby does, but
after being sat upon even may be made
to look quite p~resentable again by one
or two deft ~pattings.
OF the great civilized cities outside Of
America, Paris is perhaps the most toll
Grant in respect Of hats, being quite as
much SO as Chicago. 10 my notion Paris
is very sensible in this matter, and ]
should be glad If men who live in cities
were less conventional generally in their
attire. AS it is they are apt to look as
like as peas, and individuality of dress
seems quite to have disappeared.
