Both together take n drop

Full Of ire, ~
And her glances flashing fro,
Wrathful maiden,

sound and refreshing sleep by two men
knocking at his door. Mr.. Gay demanded
to know what was wanted. The men said
they wanted to come in the house to pass

opened the door cautiously to find out who
these gentlemen were, when the larger Of
the two attempted to enter the house He
was checked, however, by Mr.. Gays big
fist, which landed right on the stranger s
jaw. Will Gay, who was also at the door,

The following quotation from the Paris
Journal explains the French view of the
forthcoming American production, by Ed
ward Nroom, of Francois Coppee's drama,
"For the Crown" "The illustrious con-
tributor to The Journal, Francois Coppee,
has decided to visit America this winter
1t is his superb work, For the Crown,
that has overcome his objection to such a
trip. This great success of the Odeon has
been translated into English by delicate
and appreciative poet, Charles Renaud. A
talented actor. Edward Vroom, is engaged
in mounting the piece in America and he
is engaging a strong company. The Nroom
organization will perform only plays of
real artistic value. The brillianey of this
important scheme will DO enhanced by

longs to horseshoer who has smithy on
Fulton street not far from Reid avenue.
1t is the current opinion in that section
that the smith would haVI to shut up shop
were it not for Jumbo. The dog may be
seen almost any morning trotting gravely
along, leading the horses to the smithy.
Perhaps it is not quite fair to tell tales
on Jumbo, but his weakness makes him
all the dearer to the small boys, who ap-
preciate the temptation. Jumbo steps out
bravcly and is as pompous as drum ma
jor when on duty. But if dog chances
to appear the opportunity for race and a
gossip proves too much for him. Down
goes the rope, and off runs Jumbo. The
boys laugh the smith whistles; the horse
gives kick of delight. Back comes jun
bo with his head down. But it is possible
he does this so that he may pick I'D the
rope unobserved. He never fails to enter
the smithy in marching order. Bravo
Jumbo!-Brooklyn Eagle.

A dispatch to the Vienna Neue Weine,
Tageblatt, from correspondent in Sofia
says that Prince Ferdinand Of Bulgaria
has declined to sign the draft of the
speech from the throne, which contained
the passage promising that Prince Boris.
Prince Ferdinand's infant son, should be
baptized in the Orthodox Greek faith.
upon which all of the ministerial deputies
have insisted. In consequence of Prince
Ferdinand's refusal to append his sig
nature to the draft of the speech. the
opening Of the Sobranje was postponed
and Premier Stoileff rendered his resipna.
ton to the prince. The resignation was
not accepted.

About ESQ, Wednesday morning, two
fellows made an attempt to break into the
sample room of the Bay View house. The
sample room is on the ground floor of the
building. on the Bridge street side. Night
Officer Dustie was walking down the
street at the time and when he was few
rods above the hotel, the night clerk, who
had heard the noise made by the would be
burglars, came down on the street and
seeing the officer, whistlcd to him to hurry
up, This frightened the chaps away, but
MIR. Dustie gave them good chase across
the Kennebec bridge. They had consider
able of a start and when the fellows got
to the Winslow end of the bridge they
disappeared. The men were attempting
to force open the doors by pressing hard
on them, thinking, probably, that they
might possibly spring the catches and lock
out of the fastenings. Had the clerk post
poned his alarm, in all probability the
officer would have turned the corner and
caught the men in the very act.

GARN1TURE OF sEQUINS AND BEADs-HENRI
~ COLLAR WITH OSTRICH TIPS.
the shapes, though perhaps not absolutely
new. are many of them perfected from
those of last year.
Jet is, of course, of primary Importance
in these, but it is not allowed to rely solely
upon its own attractions, for it is amalga-
mated with various colored stones and
also blended most successfully with fur.
In bodice garnitures and collars sequins
and iridescent beads are the chief materials
employed, Jet and pearls being used as adj
juncts principally.
A shaped front, collar and basque of
finely jetted net, has the towering design
picked out in turquoise beads, the idea be-
ing marguerites, with jet centers.
A handsome set is of iridescent beads in
silver and gold, with pearls and French
brilliants set among the latticework
which the smaller beading makes. At tho
back the garniture takes the form of V,
while in front it follows the lines of tho
bodice. Epaulets are attached to the
shoulders and are firm enough to stand
out we'll over the sleeve.
Another jet garniture Is exceedingly
pretty with it's light design of two out
reaching ferns coming over the shoulders,
a fall of fringe joining the leaves across
the bust.
Tho Henri " collar is popular style of
decoration. Another handsome model is
of iridescent beads in vivid greens and
reds, pointed with diamond shaped cabo-
chons of jet, traced with gold. Raised
epaulets are added to this and SO wired
as to fit on to the sleeves perfectly.
In black trimmings the most marked
features arc loops of gimp with close set
horizontal rows of jet all over and are en-
ployed chiefly on mantles but the notion
repeats itself over and over again. The
loops are accompanied by large bead drops.
This idea is amplified in many widths.
Large pieces of cut jet and crescents of
jet are worked into the patterns of many
gimps.
Ostrich tips are also united to iat in Ia
tinct motifs and continuous trimmings,
not inexpensive, but valuable from a dec
orative point of view. Black sequins
massed together on net foundations form
many galloons.
Gimp scrollwork with beads is at the
same time effective and yet one of tho
most Inexpensive of the new range of gar
nitureS.
