A GOOD oARswoMAN.

Probably the most eminent oars
woman to-day is Miss Lucille Eaton
Hill, professor of gymnastics ut VEL
lesley College. Quito n number of
undergraduates there are strongly at
tarhed to aquatic pursuits. and have
proved themselves very skillful with
tho sculls. The teacher and coach is
MissA Hill, who hus instructed the
yon8g women in the mysteries Of Sim
glcs, doubles, pair oars, fours, skies
add eights. She is not only good
coach and trainer, but is said to be in
ferior to few in tho scientific knowl-
edge of strokes. Wherever Miss Hill
has had tho opportunity she has wit
messed the great regattas of tho coun-
try, and knows the style of each

men IS to marry fortune. 1t is one
ofthe easiest ways to avoid tho dis
agreeable task of working for a living,
and there is,a host of husbands in the
United States who arc supported
handsomely ON The money of their
wives. The opportunities of the mat
rimonial fortune seeker are numerous
in this land. We have mauy rich
maids and widows, and while tho de-
mand is far greater than the supply,
we often hear of some poor fellow who
captures woman with plenty of cash.
The Government has recently issued
report which will give great en-
couragement to the hard pressed and
despairing seeker of vito with good
bank account. According to this re-
port the number of shares held by
women in the National banks alone
amounts to tho very respectable fig
ures of 1,733, TIP, representing the
enormous value OF S130, 6S1, 494.
In other words, women hold over
twenty-four per cent. of the National
bank shares issued, and those shares
represent capital percentage of over
eighteen.
1t may he said that these women be-
long to the very rich classes. I'm.
doubtedly there are many wealthy wo.
men among them, but, most assured
ly, the great majority of the 7O,697
women stockholders are in what are
called moderate circumstances.
Women show up almost equally we'll
in the other banking institutions OF
the country. The total number of
these establishments last year was
3211, with an estimated share value of
S307, Isl, ZIG. The percentage of this
capital held by women is 1874, which
is divided among 30, LAG individuals.
Unfortunately the Government re-
Fort does not classify these women.
1t does not tell how many are married
and how many Gro single, nor does it
furnish the addresses of those in the
latter class. The great and glorious
fact TINT there aro many women in the
land with good supply OF money is,
however, made clear, and the enter.
prise Of the fortune hunter must do

The business of florist offers large
field for women; and in England n
lady has secured great results from n
garden of two and half acres. with
only the occasional help of skilled
gardener and boy to do tho hard
work. She also gives lectures on
horticulture, and urges as requisite
to success thorough draining and q
sincere love for the work.
A number of women in California
and some in Southern States have also
pursued this business most success.
fully. Among the former is graduate
of one Of the Eastern woman's col
leges, who finds practical application
for her college studies in her CON
genial and successful occupation.
Other American women, two, es-
pecially, in the vicinity of New York
City, have turned their attention to
the culture of violets, furnishing the
dainty blossoms, "sweeter than the
lidaS of Juno's eyes," when frost md
SNOWY still hold sway, and prices arc
p-op$ttionately profitable.
Another enterprising little woman
has a small greenhouse and garden
near the entrance to n much visited
cemetery in n New England city,
where one may always be certain of
obtaining q tribute of cut flowers ut all

commissions for furnishing and caring
for plants in the plots of those who,
through absence or other cause, are

Poplin is favorite material for

plaids are in great demand.
A pretty trimming is band of pea

of soft gray feathers odging it.
Both soutncho braid and gimp arc
used as trimming, and OH many of the
more elaborate dresses are seen plnit-

Three-cornered toques are trimmed
with aigrette or rosette, effects on the
three sides. These promise to be great
favorites, but need fresh looking

The highly fashionable modiste has

Many of the gowns for young peo-

Others have embroidered spots upon

pOSY RINGS.

When posies inside wedding rings

be known. Time has covered that, rs
he does so many things, with the
moses of oblivion; but we know that
from the sixteenth century until the
middle of the eighteenth it was Gus.

rings. These posies or notices are
seldom to be found with more than
two lines Of verse, aud often with only
one. but there are few instances
Ja2Gwn where three lines are used.
SOME of these posios are very quaint
and curious, and n few reach high
standard Of poetic beauty.
Ins16l2 small collection of RHYMES

It contains some posies that are not to
be met with elsewhere, and is very
interesting work, though but few
people seem to have heard of it. The

them we find the following: "United

The Commission thought II Neces-

BUTTE. dan. 3).-The police commits
sion, at ITS meeting this afternoon, made a
new rule in reg ,rd to allowing payto police
men VINO are off on account of sickness.
Talking the matter over IT was concluded
that there is altogether too much sick
ness in the Butte police force. Four
specials are kept on most of the time TAX
ing the places of men laid up, and is an
extra expense of 81 10 mon h, as the time
of the regular men goes on just the same.
At former meeting attention was called
to the matter aud 1t was decided to allow
no excuse for sickness unless accompa-
MED with a certificate from the physician
in charge, in which case IL would be op-
tional with tho commission whether to
allow the time or not.
To-day the commits sion received notices
of sickness from Officer Begins, nine
days this month; Officer Hogan Ia days /;
Officer Steinborn ID days; Officer Torpey
seven da Us. The clam of Officer Stein
born was allowed, as he was injured IN
the explosion in the performance of his
duty, and is still LAID up at the hospital,
and probably will be for some time.
In discussing the other cases the mayor
thought the way TO shut off so much SICK
ness is to stop paying the men. A certain
amount was appropriated at the begin
nIng of the year for the police depart
ment, but SO many specials have been EN-
pioyed TO take the places of sick men that
the cost of running the police force Is
mounting up much higher than ii should.
lie moved to dIsallow the salaries of Big
gins, Iorpey and Hogan for the time they
were off. 1t was remarked thar in two
years $, rvIce Officer Hogan had not lost n
day before, but IT was considered lmpos-
sIbe to d scrImInatc, and the motion 10
dock them for the time they were sick
carried.
1t was then moved and carried that no
salaries be allowed 10 policemen for time
IN y are off on account OF sickness, or for
any other cause except in case "a man Is
injured while IN the performance of duty,
or his sickness results from such injury.
Applications Tor positions on the force
were received from Frank BIlduc and
Ed Carroll, formerly sergeant OF police.
he applications were placed on file. To
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
officer krambeck, Commissioner Gallick
nominated Pat Gibbon. After discussion
the matter of filing the vacancy was post
poned one week. A bill oil Sl43 80 was re-
ceived from Shermin's for the burial ex-
penses of Officer Krambeck. The COM
mission referred the bill to the council,
with recommendation that the bill be
paid.
1t was decided to change the beats so
that one policeman would he on night
