CARRIED cueANs TO OTHER SHORES
iugboat George W. Chiids Is Evidently
a Fiiibustercrs' Craft


Jacksonville, Fla, July 21.-The tug
boat George w. Childs cleared yesterday
for New York and sailed this morning
Immediately upon her departure William
Lynch, one of the seaman, made oath be-
lore Collector Brown as to her late doings
In these waters, and stated that there
was wages due him and that the captain
had sailed to give him the slip and beat
him out of his wages. He stated that
the Childs took on so Cubans at a place
In the West Indies, with arms and ammu-
milton, and proceeded to the cosat of Cuba
After several unsuccessful attempts to
land the party there she landed them
on one OF the Florida keys near there,
then she came here and coaled and went
to Jamaica. On hearing the statement
Collector Brown ordered revenue cut
ter to detain the Chlds. The cutter gave
chase and fired a blank and loaded cart
ridge, which caused the Childs to lay to,
and the cutter returned to port with
her.
A SUSPICIOUS CRAFT.
New York, July 21.-The single screw
steamer Caucus cleared this port for sea
this afternoon, bound on what is believed
to be a Cuban flibustering expedition
She flew the flag of the United States of
Colombia at her peak and the French flag
at her stern. She is commanded by Cap
tain Bermpot The Caucus got her
clearance papers for Carthagena through
the custom house last Friday. The sup
position is that she win lay to somewhere
between this and one of the Cuban ports
and take on men.

DRESSING IN RUSSIA.
How the Clothing Is Adapted to Outdoor
 and Indoor Temperature.

The national cap has a soft velvet crown, surrounded by a broad band of sable or of otter. 1t is always in fashion and lasts forever People who arc fond of variety buy each year new cap, made of black Persian lambskin, which resembles in shape that worn by tho kazaks, though the shape is modified every year by tho thrifty shopkeepers.
 The furs and the Russians sensible manner of dressing in general have much to do with their comfort and freedom from colds Few Russians wear 1annels of any sort. Linen underclothing and the thin nest gowns are sufficient i'll tho delight fully heated houses, and at theaters and other places of public entertainlnent any thing more would be intolerable. No Rus sian enters a room, theater or public ball at any season of tho year with his cloak and overshoes and no well trained servant would allow an ignorant foreigner to triae with his health by so doing. Even the foreign churches aro provided with cloak rooms and attendants And the Russian churches On grand occasions when space Is railed off for officials or fa- vored guests, cloak racks and attendants are provided near the door for the privi- logged ones, who must display their uni. forms ana gowns as u lnaUtcr OI SJaCe eIl- quette
 The women find the light shawl which they wear under their fur to preserve their gowns from hairs to shield the chest, and for precisely such emergencies, sufficient protection. On ordinary occasions people who do not keep a lackey to hold their cloaks just inside tho entrance, have an opportunity to practice Russian endur ance, and unless tho crowd is very denso the large and lofty spnce renders it quito possible, though the churches are heated to retain the fur cloak, but 1t is not healthy and not always comfortable. It would not be possible to provide cloak rooms and attendants for tho thousands upon thousands who attend church service on Sundays and holidays With the for eign churches, whoso attendance is com paratively limited it is different matter Moscow by tho way, is tho place to see tho coats intended for really cold wealth er'' journeys, made of bearskin and of reindeer skin, impervious to cold, lined with downy Siberian rat or other skins which ono does not sec in St. Petersburg shops -Lippincott'

Taylor, the Hand Organ Builder.

Henry s. Taylor, who recently commit ted suicide in New York by jumping from the roof of five story building, probably had at one time or another nine-tenths of all the "hand' organs that have been played about this country. If he did not build them or repair them, they were sent to him to introduce new barrels with the latest tunes, as their owners felt tho need of change,
 The most extensive business that he ever did was shortly after the war. At that time thousands of invalid and wounded veterans purchased organs and in their worn and faded regimentals secured the country in search of sympathy and pennies. Taylor began with making wheezy hand organs and developed them into the piano organs of today, which play selections from grand opera and are wheel ed instead of carried by strap suspended from the shoulder. Taylor's shop was regular organ hospital where played out organs were fitted with new airs or treated for asthma and hay fever. The organs were tuned, vanished and revamped They were sent there for repairs from all over the country.

Mrs. Hicks-Lord Now Lives In Quiet Re-
 tirement In New York.
 A few years ago the namo of Mrs. Hicks Lerd had greater potency in the fashiona- bio lifo of New York than that of Van derbilt or an Astor. Today it is but mem- ory.
 The erstwhile social queen lives in a big, gloomy house looking out upon Wash ington square from tho west side, ending her days in a seclusion which is almost hermitlike.
 As recently as nine years ago she gave a reception, at which 5000 fashionh bles fought and scrambled for an opportunity to pay their respects to the beautiful host ess.
 For years she has been an invalid and now rarely secs any of the hundreds who used to crowd her spacious home when she was in tho heyday of her society success The swarms of fashionable moths have found other lights around which to flut- ter
 A few years ago her house was entered by burglars They did not get much booty, but ever since then Mrs. Hicks Lord has lived in terror of another visit of the same kind. Most of her jewels arc kept in safe storage, but she keeps enough in her big hodse to tempt scoro of oracksmen, though often advised to put thcm with the others.
 Many years ago, while in Rome, sho made the acquaintance of several leaders of tho Catholic hierarchy At that time Mrs. Hicks Lord learned a great deal of the teachings of tho church. Year by year her learning in that direction became moro pronounced, and eventually she became convert to the Catholic faith. Now she is a devout and regular worshiper at St. Patricks 8 cathedral on Fifth avenue.
 Two nieces live with her part of tho year. The rest of the time shei is surround cd only by force of colorcd servants. - New York Correspondents.

THE BELLS RIVALS.
WESTERN COMPETITION WITH THE
 TEI EPHoNE MONOPOLY.

 Independent Companies Will Go Into the
 sHeIIo" Business If the Present Rates
 Are Not Cut In Two-one COmpany's
 Rental For Year Is SIP.
 The patent covering tho receiver of tho Bell telephone expired a year or two ago, and recently the patents covering the transmitter were declared by tho courts to have no force. Thus far in the eastern states that competition to which the Bell company is now exposed has not been de- veloped, but if we examine the record of current transactions in the telephone busi- ness in tho western states we see that competition already exists thore It should be borne in mind that the local telephone companies heretofore established hayo been branches of the Bell company, controlled by that company not only by means of li- censes for the use of tho patented instru- ments, but also because tho Bell company is the owner of large blocks of tho local companies shares.
 =The Harrison Telephone company is procuring franchises in many western cities Tho Western Electrician reports that the Bell company has undertaken to overcome threatened competition in Du- buque, Ia, by meeting and reducing any rate which the Harrison company may make there. In Davenport la, citizens committee proposes to organize a local company and negotiate with tho Harrison company for the establishment of plant. Three companies are asking for franchises at Ishpeming, Mich, each of them desiring to furnish service to n group of cities in tho northern part of the Michigan benin sula. Tho Bell company is unpopular there. Tfc rnta in, Ich ic n Moines arrangements for setting up new and independent exchange have been made by tho old manager of the Bell company's exchange in that city, an expert eectri- clan, who equipped the Bell exchanges in several western cities. He promises the latest improvements at reduced charge and the construction of toll lines at once to all neighboring cities.
 In Fort Scott, Kan, new and inde- pendent company began work on Feb 19, and it's managers assert that already they havo twice as many patrons as arc served by tho local Bell company. The BOW com pany's rate is S12 year. Tho Bell com pany's is $4S. Grand Rapids and four neighboring cities in Wisconsin have ask ed the local Bell company to reduce it's rates to $24 per annum for business houses and $12 for residences If the company refuses to do this, they will establish new system. new company in Oshkosh, Wis, has obtained 130 subscribers and will begin work on it's plant when 225 shall have been secured. Tho local Bell compa ny gives notice that it's system will be inn proved and it's rates cut down 25 per cent At Great Falls, Mon., the Bell rate is $60, and new company offering service at $50 asks for franchise.
 These examples are indications of what appear to be general movement in sew eral western states for the esta blishment of competing exchanges wherever the local Bell companies will not cut their charges in two. Many other instances might be cited. Such competition will not be con- fined to the west.-New York Times

The Popular Chafing Dish.

'"Three years ago." said a salesman ''we had practically no call for the chafing dish but for the last two years the de- mand for them has been constant and is rapidly increasing. It seems as though every family must have one by this time A plated one, with the long handle on the outlet pan, the short ear handles on the hot water pan and the two size burners, costs $14. These with more elaborate or namentation, run from $24 up, according to the work. Nickel ones are very much in demand-really the thing unless you get an aluminium one, which does the best work of all because of it's hardness.
 ''The plain nickel ones come as low as $3 for the smaller size and $3. 90 for the larger, and from that they go up to meet the silver. The aluminium can be bought for $6, and there are even tin ones that answer the purpose very well indeed for $1. There is no doubt that the chafing dish has come to stay"
 With the chafng dishs aid a dainty dish lift to set before 0 king" can be read fly evolved without even consultation with the powers regnant in the kitchen. Oys- ters are never at their best save when serv- ed hot from the chaflng dish. Eggs mar shal themselves into 20 different ways at Its behest, while mutton smoking, piping hot becomes revelation to those accus- toned to the woolly, clammy, adhesive, utterly detestable preparations usually served under its name.
