THE OLD TEAsER.
A Venerable Side wheeler which Has
Seen Much Service.

A Venerable Side Wheeler Which Has
Seen Much Service.
One more round trip of the Miramichi
between Montreal and the Gulf ports
and the stanch old boats life work will
have ended, says the Montreal Star.
The quaint side-Wheeler of the fashion
of a generation ago will give place to
the modern tWin-serew steamship
Campana, which is even now on her
way down the canal The early history
of the Miramichi is unique inasmuch
as she was designed for an entirely diff,
ferent trade from the peaceful one she
has followed since the early 70's. She
was built at London, England, in 1864
by ]. Penn and was christened the
Teaser. For whom she was originally
built is not known. This was kept
secret, no doubt, for the reason that
her intended trade was of a semi-pi-
ratical nature. She was designed for
blockade runner between southern
ports of the United States and Europe.
In that year-1864-the war of the re-
bellion was at its height and the navy
of the United States had completely
blocked all traffic between the rebel
ports and Europe. The speed of the
Teaser was about sixteen miles per
hour, which was accounted very fast in
those days, and it was thought that she
could outsail the ships of the United
States navy. She was captured. how
ever. on her first trip, as she was try
ing to get out of a blockaded southern
port with a cargo of cotton. After the
close of the war in 1865 she was sold by
the United States government and for
time was employed in the Gulf Of Mex
leo between New Orleans and Calves
ton. Coal being very expensive, this
did not prove paying investment and
she was laid up in New Orleans until
1872, when her present owners, the
Quebec Steamship company, purchased
her. Alterations, such as the deck
houses, etc, have since been made.
Her boilers were renewed six years ago,
though the engines are the same as
when she was built. She has made 300
round trips to the lower ports, which
aggregate over 100000 miles, and in all
her service has never lost a life.

CO1Oring Soap.

According to the Scientific American,
a very radical change has taken place
lately in the coloring of soap-that is,
until a comparatively recent time min
eraI colors were exclusively employed,
but the advance in the tar color in
dustry has brought about the change.
A very prominent advantage noted in
respect to mineral colors is their sta
bility, not being altered or in any way
effected by exposure to light, an adj
vantage, however, which is offset i'll
many cases by the remarkably beauti-
full effect of numerous aniline colOrs,
and by the more difficult method Of
application in the case of the former;
the specific gravity of mineral colors
being rather high in most cases, they
naturally tend to settle toward the bot
tom, necessitating crutching Of the soap
until it is too thick to drop the color,
but for notified soap, cinnabar, or YER
million and ultramarine are still largely
employed.

change, Room 8, Columbian Building
Wheat opened very strong with 80
advance from last nights close. Cash
demand and export is all that can be
desired, and any decline is met with
such a wave of buying orders that
the bears are carried completely off
their feet There is large short inter-
est and any attempt to cover will cause
wild advancing market.
Reports from the northwest are be-
coming sensational, and a continuation
OF them is bound to have s tell
ing effect on this market Wheat is
too law, ahd there is not bearish factor
left We advise customers to buy wheat
on all soft spots for a big advance.
Corn and oats-Corn opened wild and
excited and advanced a two and a
quarter cents in ten minutes.
Sensational crop damage reports
from Iowa are coming in, and these. to-
gether with heavy short interest will
put corn and oats much higher.
Provisions Pork opened steady,
and advanced to $1152 for the
September option. At this price there
was heavy realizing. which caused a
small slump. All offerings were we'll
taken and the market closed firm. A
good advance is due in pork and we ad-
wise buying it on all breaks.

SHOES OF THE SEASON.
All Kinds and Sorts Designed for the
Various Phases of Summer Life.

All Kinds and Sorts Designed for the
Various Phases of Summer Life.
The walking boot par excellence is a
refectich of good sense, and one more
additional evidence that the present
generation are in many things wiser
than their elders were. The favorite
fOOt-covering just now is the Juliet or
Diana shoe, with a graceful instep, elias
tic sides, and shapely yet solid heel.
These come in finest French kid and in
russet kids and feathers of various quail
tiles. Large invoices of shoes are dis
played designed for the wear and tear
of rambles and climbing in country or
mountain. These shoes are made of
the softest and finest of French calf.
They are far better for outing uses than
shoes of any other sort, and when black
ened shine like satin. They are comforte
able yet attractive improvements Of the
regular common-sense boot, with its I'M
necessarily heavy and ungainly heel
and sole. For carriage wear are some
very stylish and elegant models, includ-
ing those made of black satin, patent
leather with black MORE tops, russell
colored and gray undressed kid, and
bronze kid with brown tips. The fancy
for low shoes over black or dark silk
hose will be as general as ever this sea-
son. The Juliet styles are their only RI
walls. For house and full-dress wear the
low-cut Dieppe sandal of black satin or
black French kid tipped with jet is very
fashiona BILE abroad. Colored kid slippers
matching the evening toilet, contrary to
reports concerning them, are not re-
garded as expressions of elegance, and
have given place to the Dieppe sandal.
With the exception of jet, bead adorn-
ings on slippers have entirely disap-
peared from the seasons fashionable ex-
hibit. Laced shoes of white canvas with
white kid tops are still popularity worn
with duck, pique and Holland costumes
on land and sea. For country uses and
for tennis are some natty little outing
boots, laced with silk cords and finished
with finely corrugated soles.

KANSAS CRY, Mo, July 12-Rudolph
Kremer of Emporia, Kaa, sat on pair
of baggage trucks at tue Union depot
yesterday. While he was silently con-
demning the fate which had thrown him
out on the world to shift for himself
man came along whistling a popular air.
well, my friend, what are you looking
SO blue abOut?" asked the man, stopping
before him.
81 came here in search of work." said
Kremer, -''but can't find any body who
wants'tO hire me. 3"
"You are just the man 1 am looking
for" said the man. He went on to say
that he owned -threshing machine and
could fill the bill and he was at once en-
gagged. Then they " Aiked up town to-
gether. At Tenth and MCGEE streets
the man suggested that they sit down
and rest few minutes before
going on to the machine, which he
stated, was on farm three quarters of
mile east. While resting another man
came up and produced pack of cards
from his coat pocket Four of the cards
were blanks, while the fifth was the
queen Of hearts. The man bet that Meth
er Kremer nor his friend could pick out
the queen. Kremer's friend took the bet
and won. Then the man offered to bet
$50 that it could not be done again, but
the man who claimed he owned thresh-
ing machine did not have the money to
cover the bet, so he took Kremer's gold
watch and put it-up for collateral He
lost, and under excuse that he was going
up the street to borrow money to beat the
game, he slipped away from Kremer, fol-
lowed shortly by the man with the cards
The Kansan waited patiently for an hour,
but they never came back. Then he
told the police. He was very much sur
prised when the officers told him that
his companions were confidence men.

COLEMAN DRAYTON AFFAIR

The Two May Become ReconciIed to Each
Other.
NEW YORK, July 12-Mrs ]. Cole
man Drayton has sailed for Liverpool on
the steamship Teutonic under the chap
eronage of Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan.
Mrs. Drayton is the sister of John Jacob
Astor, and separation from her hus band
followed duel which did not come off
between him and Alsop Borrowe. A sort
of social ostracism followed that separs-
ton, from which Mr.. Drayton suffered
even more than did his wife. Then fol-
lowed unpleasant legal proceedings,
which stopped almost at the moment
they were to be aired in open court
1t is said that Mrs Drayton goes to
Europe at the request of Mrs. Pierpont
Morgan, who is, among others, anxious
to see reconciliation between her and
her husband. Steps toward effecting
this reconciliation, it is said, have already
been taken, and have so far progressed
that only a meeting between husband
and wife on the other sida is necessary
to make it an accomplished fact

Various experiments in glass manu-
facture are reported in French papers,
among these being an attractive de-
scription of ornamental products, the
process, as will be seen, being charac-
terized by extreme simplicity. The sur
face, as described, is first ground either
by the sand blast or the ordinary meth
cd, and is then covered with a sort of
varnish; on being dried, either in the
sun or by artificial heat, the varnish
contracts strongly, taking with it the
particles of glass, to which it adheres,
and as the contraction takes place along
definite lines, the pattern produced by
the removal of the particles of glass re-
sembles very closely the branching
crystals of frost work. The pattern
may be varied in character by changing
the thickness of the film of varnish,
single coat giving a small, delicate eff
feet, while thin film, formed by put
ting on two, three, or more coats, con-
tracts so strongly as to produce a large
and bold design; by using colored glass.
a pattern in half tint may be made on
the colored ground.

GREAT BEND, July 12-The Ely d.

Already one horse-whipping has re-
suited. A few days ago on West Forest
avenue James w. Clark, the attorney for
Ely the defendant and Mrs. Tressie Ely
met in their buggies, Mrs. Ely asked
Clark to stop as she wished TO speak to
him. This he did, when Mrs. Ely drove
up close to his buggy and began to lay
on the whip over the attorneys head and
shoulders. Mr.. Clark told her as she had
put herself in mans place, she should
get what man should get, and so he be-
gan to lay on the whip too. The two
whips played fast and furious, and Mrs.
Ely screamed in rage and pain although
Clark received several good cuts. Several
people coming along the street stopped
