An Attractive Hat

A distinguished preacher of somewhat
arbitrary manners was engaged to preach in
Belgravia and purchased a new hat for the
occasion. He was met outside his residence
by young man who to guide him to
the church. His guide, after what the par
son thought rude stare and smile, said:
q beg your pardon,si but your hath
ooh, yes; never mind the hat, but mind
your own business" the parson interrupted
CURLY; and the young man was silenced.
The people they met, stared and smiled too
STRANGE, how many people notice when
one has got new hat" thought the parson.
The church was reached and the worship
ers approaching, naturally turned to OBJ
serve the noted preacher.
The Vicar met him at the vestry door TO
welcome him, but hesitating, said: "Par-
don me, Canon, but pray, why do you wear
your hat SOP"
The tile was dotted and the outside found
to be still covered with white paper which

He is up in the morning before any Caucasians
stirring; and at noon he takes only few

on TO his farm he answers willingly enough any
pertinent and reasonable questions, though he
has as much dignity as another man, and will
not permit a stranger to abuse his courtesy or
scorn his occupation. The laundryman in the
city is less unfettered soul, and of smaller
civiity and freedom of spirit.
1t should be remembered that the farm near
Winter Hill is Chinese farm. not only by rea-
son of the fact that the farmers are Cinnamon.

able, and his speedy recovery was confidently
expected. On May %, symptoms of relapse
appeared due to the development of acute
pneumonia. His present alarming condition is
due to weakness of the hearts action, and
there seems to be little or no hope for his re-
covery."
The only persons admitted to the sick-room
Monday were Mrs. Gresham. her daughter, Mrs.
Andrews. of Chicago, and tho latters husband.
Mrs. Gresham has scarcely left her husbands
room since his illness began over month ago.
She has been plucky and courageous. and has
been hopeful that his life would be spared.
During his entire illness he had been con-
scious, and as the end came he seemed more
concerned for his wife than for himself, for he
constantly whispered to his daughter: Look
out for your mother; give her your attention !;
don't worry about me-"
His death was quiet, peaceful and without
suffering. For two hours before there was no
indication of heart beat. He died as if slowly

Ex-Secretary Foster 10 Stay I'm China.

A cablegram received from Pekin states that
at the request of the Tsung Ii Yamen, the
Emperor's council, Mr.. John w. Foster will
remain at the Chinese capital for the present,
and may not return 10 the United States for
some weeks. Mr.. Foster. il will be remem-
bered, went to China several months ago TO
assist Viceroy ii Hung Chang in the negotia-
lions Of peace between China and Japan. His
advice is said TO have been of great service to
the kiceroy, who holds the American diplomat
in high esteem.
1t is presumed that the Tsung Ii Yaman
desire the benefit OF Mr.. Fosters experience in
the adjustment Of numerous matters that are
yet unsettled between China on the one hand
and Japan aud Russia Oh the other, and it is
not unlikely for this reason that his stay at
Pekin may be prolonged.

How to Clean straw Hats.

Tn cleaning straw hats, writes a Boston
Globe correspondent, / have used oxalic acid
and water, and do not doubt but that it
would answer equally well for any kind pro-
vided the hats or bonnets are not of to fragile
a texture to bear the brushing necessary for
cleaning them properly. An ounce of oxalic
acid dissolved in quart of water, is the pro-
per proportion, but if the straw be very dirty
add little more acid. 1t is applied with a
nail brush, and the bonnet may be left to
dry, when it will be found to have regained
all its former stiffness, and freshness, too, if
not too much sunburnt to begin with.

charge of assault and battery on his (Mc.

The case was brought before Justice
Luckey, of Little Elk prscinct, but it
seems Mcdowell went to Derrick's hall, ex-
pecting the trial to be there, while MEGA
leb and his witnesses went to tie Justice 8

ease was dismissed by tho justice, on &C.

who, later, rode up to the gate and de-

the scene.

The mischievous company little midgets
that delighted large audience of highly
approciative people ct the Opera House last
Thursday evening appear to be as 1nach at
home On tho stage as EEeir imaginary proto
types are IN the pages Of Palmer Cox's IA
mons little beck. Ilough The stuffed and
distorted lit1la bodies aud Wee grinning faces
only suggest fsintly the dainty phantasies OF
the creator OF the Brownies, they neverthe-
less furnished q great deal of amusement for
the elder spectators and simply delighted
the children. Their queer antics and
strange prrnks and capers kept the audience
in roar. So clever were they ct panto-
mime that the audience readily understood
exactly what was being conooctod by the
little rogues. who seemed to take especial
delight in doing the most uDheard Of things.
The football tsbleau was heartily applauded
and elected an encore. They were adept s
at the football business too, and the manne r
in which they hustled disabled members off
of the field provoked much merriment.
The music by the orchestra, and the voca
selections by thesO. A. c, auartette and
Symphony Glee Club were greatly appre-
ciated and added much to the enjoyment Of
the evening. Miss Mabel Johnson and Prof.
Fulton were each compelled to respond
to an encore, SO we'll were their
solos received. Thorough study and nice
conception of her recitation was evinced by
Miss Esther Avery.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church are
to be congratulated upon the splendid sue
cess of this unique entertainment. Miss
Marie Vandersol, of Salem, is deserving of
much praise, as it was under her personal
direction that ''The Brownies" was pro-
duced. Her recitation, "Jack, the Fisher
man." was the choice bit Of the evening.
Miss Vandersol evinces that fine. dramatic
instinct that evolves proper effects from pure
| ina agination. Great care was given the
| elemental mechanics SIS accent, emphasis,
intonation, infection and pronunciation,
but her great charm. lies in her graceful
| delivery and easy stage presence.
