Pleasures of Youth.
Col A. g. Johnson and Maj William
Sims attended the base ball game to-
gether yesterday. They had not attend
ed game before and they were among
the most interested of the spectators.
They sat together in the grand stand
and brilliant catch brought forth such
EXPLANATIONS as ethats good" from the
two men. They carefully watched every
point in the game. and when Leaven-
worth led by several scores q perceptible
cloud showed on their faces, but when
Topeka started in to bat the Leavenworth
FLETCHER and tied the score and then
made two extra points the cloud disap-
peared While the more enthusiastic
fans stood up and shouted and
clapped their hands the two capitalists
smiled gravely.
They seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
game, and when it was over rushed for
the street cars like two boys.

between Swift, the provost marshal, and
Lieut. Danferth, of the Kankakee. In this
act there is also a Uniform Song" after
the manner of W. s. Gilbert. sung by Digby

The Silken Petticoat.

The petticoat of the season is one Of the
incongruities of fashion. A skirt of cheviot
or serge may hide beneath its plainness a
gorgeous petticoat of brocaded silk frilled
with lace and caught here and there with
ribbon rosettes.
The fashionable petticoat is fit for ball.
It is made very full, with organ-pipe plaits
at the back and frequently feather-bone
inserted around the hem. This provides
the skirt with the correct flare and makes
it unnecessary to line the dress skirt with
haircloth. One of the most gorgeous petit
coats to be worn beneath 4 dancing gown
is made of white silk brocaded in gold
feathers. From the knee to the bottom of
the skirt there is succession of rrffies.
Gold lace and rutfies of imitation duchesse
alternate.
Petticoats for street wear are made of
changeable taffeta or black brocaded silks.
Black lace and plain satin rosettes are
among the fashionable trimmings. One of
the many skirts belonging to Fifth ave-
nue. society woman is of black lace fes-
TONED here and there with clover-colored
ribbons.
All these elaborate petticoats are jaun-
thy perfumed. When rosettes are used as
a trimming each has its center formed of
q wee sachet bag. Other petticoats have
the hem interlined with thin layer of
cotton sprinkled with sachet powder.

WHAT SHE FEARED MOST.
It Was Knockout Blow for Macal-
lister McTlhenny,


Macallister McIlhenny felt that the
ground was slipping from under him in the
emotional field, and he pulled himself to-
gether for a final effort. He chose soft
afternoon, when the frost was yielding to
the genial rays of the sud and all nature
was In pleasant mood, as an appropriate
time.
And it was an appropriate time, for what
is so delightful as one of those December
days, which are quite as rare as day in
June, when earth and sky are In attune
and love is ladled with spoon?
Be that as it may, Macallister Mcllhenny
was Supremacy confident, and transferring
half OF his weeks salary to naughty
livery stable keeper he secured short
lease of a horse and buggy and went after
the fair object OF his dreams.
For two hours i'll that pleasant afternoon
sunshine, Macallister McIlhenny drove
through lanes and along smooth roads and
he felt that he was driving straight to
glory, but somehow the fair being at his
side did not seem to be sharing in his eS-
hilaration. 1t did not strike him with full
force until they had started homeward.
I'm afraid, he said, hesitatlngly, as
they were nearing the end OF the drive,
that the afternoon has been a disappoint-
ment to you"
"Oh, no." she responded, smiling.
Pm so glad, SO glad" he murmured,
" for it has been delicious season to me"
That is very kind OF you to say"
Are you sure and he made as If to
take her hand, that the drive has not been

Cheap and PRETTY.

Betty has long been distinguished among
her friends as the only woman of their
acquaintance who did not own tea-table.
Betty did not enjoy the unique distinction
or the lack that gave rise to it. She has
chafed under her inability to brew a cup
of tea any time she had caller, and has
inwardly vowed to redeem her reputation
by tea-table which would be the envy of
all her friends. Still Betty is poor. She
has collected her tea-table belongings
slowly, but they are now collected, and the
corner where she has it is thing of
beauty.
In the first place there is screen. the
frame of which was made by an obliging
carpenter for small sum and painted by
Betty herself with black paint. Then she

Against this screen the tea-table stands
out all white and bright and gay.
It was a plain little table, having the
great advantage of simplicity, when Betty
bought it. She painted it white. The top
she covered with a cloth all beautiful with
drawn work and dull blue embroidery. A
dull blue china tray, which Betty herself
painted, holds the pert little teapot, the
cream jug, sugar basin and cracker jar.
There are two or three little teacups in
readiness for the cup of afternoon tea. An
old-fashioned flask holds the alcohol for

iron stand next to the table. 1t cost Betty

silk, 81. She can't give very extensive teas
as yet, but for $l1 she has certainly not
done badly.-Philadelphi Times.

of powder had been stored. Accord
ing to Superintendent Doddridge, he
had positively forbidden more than
five pounds of powder TO be taken
into the mine at one time, but it is
known that fifty pounds were in the
Slope at the time; five or ten pounds
of this was in an oil can. warm ng

it seems, is the usual method of warm

six of them slowly smothered to death.

WAsHINeToN. Sept. 27.-For the Sec
ond time in the last twelve months the
forthcoming monthly statement of the
receipts and expenditures of the gov
eminent for September will show an
excess of receipts over expenditures.
This surplus, which has now reached
Sll2,744 will probably be increased to
about $4,000, UOG by the end of the
month, by which tune the receipts are
expected to reach S26, 25O, 900. The
only other exception to the deficit rule
during the year was in june last, when
The receipts exceeded the expenditures
by nearly $4,000, 900.
The October figures, however, are
expected to show u deficit of about
S. 00J, 600. as during that month the
pension and interest payments alone
will approxima tie ST.. 100000. The re-
ceipts on account OF customs ha We
shown a gratifying increase of late, as
have those from internal revenue
sources, although in a less degree.
