A lady il Boston wrote some letters
and sealed thcia, ns is hcr custom, with
q Moorish coin having tiny hook in
its back. Her correspondents, says the
Boston Herald all knew this peculiar
seal aud how highly it is priced, from
its antiquity and the stylish form it
takes in the wax. Called suddenly
from tho room, these letters were soon
after posted by servant in the nearest
box, and not till then did the owner Of
tho rare coin miss it from the table.
The room wc9 searched, and finally the
maid dispatched to await the letter
collector on his next round. But ho
declared nothing had been seen Of any
such seal, and then the search began
indoors again, but with no better luck
A few days after this lady received q
letter from Canada sealed with the IA
rniliar Moorish hieroglyphics. The
mystery was soon explained, for on
opening the envelope 1t was learned
that this heavy seal had stuck to the
letter sent from Boston, and, though
passing through SO many hands, had
arrived intact, to the great astonish-
nent OF the recipient.

Eccertrlc.tlea ot Francis Key Dunlop, Of
Washington. Who Died Recently.
Students OF melStaI character have an
interesting study in the character of
Francis Key Dunlop, who died in Wash
ington recently, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Mr.. Dunlop
was known to everyone who has spent
much time in Washington during the
last third of a century. At college he
was an athlete and developed himself
physically to q remarkable degree He
received a severe tall while still at coll
lcge, and this resulted in brain troGble
that made him the most eccentric nan
in Washington in dress. Belonging to
one of the oldest and richest families
in Washington, he was supported with
an abundant income, The effort for
physical development he had made in
college caused an impression on his mind
which resulted in his padding his shoul-
ders to tremendous degree. With
this eccentricity he also had ten
dency to large-sized collars and cults
-Unc culLb dlWdJo OOihS A1uNS w
order and twice the size ordinarily
worn by men. His neck he painted
red and his face was coated with white,
which gave him CHASTITY appearance,
This mode of attire Dunlop continued
to the day of his death, his clothes be-
ing made by the most fashionable tailor
here During his earlier years he was
a constant attendant at theaters and at
social events, for he never stood ION
any formality," and would go to recep-
tions without invitation, his well-known
family always guaranteeing a kindly
reception for him in the coterie with
which he was familiar. But notwith
standing these ccccntricities, Mr.. Dun
lop is pronounced by men who knew
him most intimately to have been ont
of the soundest and most discerning
literary critics of his day, lie left al
immense librcry, buying and reading
every now book Of any note. Only ;
couple OF weeks ago he visited the capi
tol building for the la5t time, He wa
nearly seventy yc@--3 Of age, and DESPITE
the enormously padded shoulders an'
arms walked fcobly. lie was the mos
unique eccentric character that Wash
ington has ever known.

COSTUMES FOR DOGS.
a Ercnchman Who Poses rs Worth for
the Pet Puppies of Paris.


1t is interesting to learn through the
channel Of Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Graphic that the French
capital can boast OF tailor for pet
dogs. The writer recently said:
mo matter what the dress may be,
the Indispensable companion Of the
wor2answ who walks is her little dog.

clothing of the little creature hnrmo-
nizes with that of his possessor. Some
ladies provide mackintoshes for their
pets for rainy days, and have them
made with full hood, which covers
the cars. Others there are who choose
tartan, having points turned back at
| the shoulders, and fastened with strap
round the body. For those believed tc
be particularly chilly, the coats are
provided with collars of quite Medic
style, and arc lined throughout with
nstrakan, or even beaver, as these short
furs arc not too cumbrous for the pet
ted animals. There are some which
actually have umbrellas of dark-bluC
silk, which they have been taught tc
carry quite straight and steadily be

"A Big Blaze in the Suburbs Of
Kansas City.
Reid Brothers Mammoth Packing
Houses Destroyed.
The Entire Fire Department Was There
But the Water Pressure Was Totally In
effective-Insurance Seven Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars.

KANSAS CITY, March 25.-A fire,
which started from unexplained causes,
destroyed the greater portion OF Reid
Brothers packing house, in Armour
dale, Sunday evening, involving loss
of 500, 900. The loss may reach one
million dollars.
From spectacular standpoint the fire
was magnificent thing. The packing
house plant is located in the west bot
toms, and thousands of people gather
ed on the west bluff of this city to
view it.
The fire started in the third. story OF
the hog building, structure OF three
stories, 200 by 75 feet, at $40 o'clock.
1t spread with remarkable rapidity and
quickly communicated to the engine
room on the south. The entire strength
of the fire department of the two Kan
sas Citys responded to the call, but the
water pressure was totally ineffective
The best that could be done was to
save thc beef building.
At o:10 the first wall fell, and then
the fire spread to the icchouses, five in
number and $50 by 200 feet i'll size
All we're destroyed. Next the
flames attacked the storage build
NO. This is an immense structure
four stories high and $50 by 2O'
feet. 1t was packed from top to bot
tom with pork One of the Reid broth
ers stated Sunday night that the iirn
never before had so heavy stock IL
the building
A big effort was made to save thi
building, but unavailing. The floor
and walls were soaked with grease an(
burned like tinder 1t was only b.
concentrating the strength Of the de
partment and Armour's water towe
that the beef building was saved.
Reid Bros carried about $4,000
worth of insurance on buildings ant
stock. OF this amount 100000 was in
demnity exchange, an organization
formed by local packers and merchant
for self-protection and cooperative in
surance two or three years ago.
At II o'clock the fire was under con
troll and the beef building, the otiic
building and the smokehouse remaine
standing. The entire value of tn
plant aud stock is estimated at 5000
600. Careful estimates of the losse
place it at little over 1000, 900.

There is q great difference in men
and women in their methods Of buying
shoes. This, says Shoe and Leather
Facts, Is the opinion Of retailer who
handles footwear for both sexes.
The additional time given TO suiting
the fair sex Is by no means lost. If
q woman is satisfactorily suited She
is apt to be moro valuable and
permanent patron than man. She
often talks about her footwear to her
friends, whereas q man seldom does.
She expatiates on the satisfaction in
style and fit which her shoes, purchased
at such and such store, give her, and
she never forgets to mention how at
tentive and obhging the sales people in
the store are. This latter has its due
effect, and the first time her friends ex
perience, or fancy they do, any lack Of
attention in the store they have beer
in the habit Of dealing in heretofore
they resolve to visit the one which
they have heard is noted for politenesi
and attention to patrons. In many
ways it pays to be especially attentive
to lady patrons and not 10 grudge then
all the time they wish TO consume whcr
! purchasing footwear.

There Are Nearly Thousand and They

Mr.. Mixes, whose remarkable skill In
deciphering badly directed letters at
the post Office was referred to in the
Chicago Tribune the other day, is one
of colony of something like a thou
sand deaf mutes in Chicago, many Of
whom occupy important positions. One
of them is lawyer Of high standing,
another is chemist and assayer of the
National Smelling and Refining COM
pany, another is head bookkeeper in q
wholesale grocery house, another is
president of land association. Be-
sides these the "silent people" in Chi
cago are scattered among the trades,
including shoemaking, cabinet work.
wood carving, baking and typesetting,
| There are quite a number of compos-
itors, the majority of whom work on
the weekly trade papers. Until the
adoption of the typesetting machines
the deaf mutes were we'll represented
among the morning papers, but now
there is only one setting type on a
morning paper and none on any of the
evening papers. Heretofore large
number of the pupils at the deaf and
dumb institutions have learned the
printing trade, but since typesetting
machines have come into such general
use the authorities have discouraged
entrance into this trade as much as
possible, although 1t is one which pre-
sents no obstacles to the deaf mute, as
he is only required to exercise the fao-
ulty OF seeing in order to do his work
properly. 4.U3H
The Chicago mutes have an organiEa-
tion known as the "Pas-a-Pas club,
which has its rooms In the building on
the southeast corner Of Clark and Ran
dolph streets, occupying the entire fifth
floor. The first steps toward the for
nation of this organization were taken
twelve years ago at picnic Of deaf
mutes In jackson park. The idea
proved popular and the club has flour
ished ever since. Social and literary
meetings arc held regularly in the win
tertime and picnics in the summer.
Balls are given frequently. Tho most
brilliant function Of this character was
that which took place at the Grand Pa
cific hotel three years ago, where -four
: hundred people were in attendance.
