The apparent rise in the price of
kisses in the san Francisco market is
not, on Investigation. 50 alarming as it
appeared at first glance. When an
Oakland lady sued an Oakland gentle
man for 5000 rs the value of two
kisses alleged to have been stolen there
WAS t%repidation among the members Of
the sex that was already dcmoralized
by the stalwart blows of the Woman's
Congress. Two thousand five hundred
dollars Il kiss is pretty high even for
the best quality. and it looked as though
q hard season was ahead. The highe~t
price known in California for kisses

sand dollars for two was therefore to
be regarded as n big jump. The lady
has explained. however, that the actual
number delivered was ''probably Il
thousand" which would reduce the
price to Il paltry 81 apiece. The furry
in the market may thus be considered
over.

The Old Time Singing School.

In the old colonial days when the
great and the great great grandmothers
were young the singing school was a
we'll established institution, writes Mary
E. Estes in very accurate article tell
ing exactly how 1.-The old time concert"
may be reproduced at church enter
tainment in Ladies Home Journal 1t
was usually held in the village school
house, the schoolmaster often figuring
as the singing master. Thither at reg
ular intervals through the long winter
months tripped the grandmas with their
escorts. Little did they imagine as they
lifted up their sweet voices in unison
with the strong tenors and bassos that
those same airs, even the very gowns
they wore, would at some distant day
be reproduced for the benefit of an ap-
preciative audience. Yet it may be safe
ly asserted that with the exception of
the colonial tea the old folks concert
is the most popular of the old time en-
tertainmentS.
The success of an undertaking of this
sort depends largely upon the adapta-
bility for her Office Of the person hav-
ing the affair in hand She must of ne
cessity have an accurate conception of
the manner in which these entertain
ments were conducted in our grand
mothers day. She must also become
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
hat olden time.

The Talk is Now That Pul1man's Daugh.
ter VIII Marry Alexander of Servia.
King Alexander of Servia is asserted
TO be on the eve of marrying Miss Pull
man, daughter of the American car
builder. Not only does the match con-
stitute topic of discussion in the CAPT
tails of Europe, but it has been publish
ed as an affair definitely settled in some
of the most reliable Viennese, Berlin
and Partisan papers.
Surprising though it may appear at
first sight, there are far fewer obstacles
to union between the American heir
ess and King Alexander than with
Prince Isenburg- Bierstein, for, where
as the prince is debarred by the statutes
of his family-statutes that are recog-
nized as valid by the courts of Vienna,
Berlin and all the minor German CAPT
tals-from marrying any woman not his
equal in birth and rank there is no
such impeachment to prevent King Alex
ander of Servia from wedding the girl
of his choice, be she peasant or princess
The Isenburgs were sovereigns for
hundreds of years and up to the begin
ming of the present century, although
they are now no longer SO. The king of
Servia's ancestors, even in the early
part of the present century, were illit-
crate swineherds, and, although their
descendant is king and recognized as
such by the various foreign courts and
governments, yet he is not hedged in
with the same restraints and restrictions
that surround those of his brother
monarchs who have behind them long
line of royal predecessors. New York

JAMES l4oAR's EXILE.
Il QUEER and Romantic Story From the
Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Il QUEER and Romantic Story From the
Mountains of Pennsylvania.
The death of Mrs. Jennie Hoar at her
mountain cottage back of Jumonville
removes one of the most romantic char
acters that ever dwelt in the mountains
of Fayette county. She was born where
she died, and her sorrowfully romantic
life covered term of SO years.
Seventy years ago there came to this
county from Massachusetts young man
named James Hoar, son of prominent
citizen of Boston, educated at one of
the leading eastern colleges. Beyond
this nothing could be learned of his life.
He secured work as day laborer at the
old Wharton furnace. Everything about
this stranger bespoke the gentleman of
culture. This fact, added to the mys-
terry of his life, led to the conclusion
that he had left Massachusetts for rea-
sons which he did not care to divulge.
One day as he was handling large
piece of metal it fell and broke his leg.
He was taken to the home of Benjamin
Bronson. Bronson had daughter named
Jennie, a typical country girl. When
Hoar was taken to her home, her spare
time was devoted to the care of the new
arrival. After the patient was able to
be about his attentions to Jennie be-
came apparent and quiet country
wedding followed. They took up their
abode in little log house about mile
east Of Dunbar A household of chill
dren came to their fireside. James Hoar
had become a typical woodsman, and
many stories of his proves as an ath-
lete are still told.
The tranquility of the little mountain
home was broken by the appearance of
a southern planter named LIE Clair. He
was accompanied by his wife, and to.
gether they secured quarters at Hoar's
cabin. The latter had a daughter 81
years old. LIE Clair pretended to have
become enamored of the fair haired
mountain girl. The secret of his pre-
tended love was kept from his wife, and
when the LIE Glars left she disappear
ed. What became of her is still mys-
terry, and it is believed that she was
kidnapped by the LIE Glars and taken
south. The broken hearted mother new
er recovered from the loss, and from
that time life for her was one long sor-
row. James Hoar died at the age of SO.
1t is now known that his connection
with some of the Cape Cod pirates drove
him into this mountain exile. He was
a cousin of Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sets. Jennie Hoar made livelihood
after the death of her husband by sell
ing roots and herbs. -Pittsburg Dis
