particularly impressed by the great number
of elderly ladies who were there-dear old
souls with gray hairs who peered over their
spectacles at the goings on upon the stage
with an expression OF mingled admiration and
alarm. They looked like members Of the w.

fully expected to see one or two produce their
knitting, so eminently old fashioned and
homely they were. They went into raptures
over Loie's wonderful gyrations, they smiled
at a famous negro impersonator's funny
speeches, but when a saucy little mink in
pink silk and many lace undergarments
greatly in evidence kicked higher than Guild
eroy's kite flew, then my dear old ladies
looked into their laps. Some way they
seemed out of place in a music hall.
The fashionable girl is wearing patches
again. Those little bits of vanity are once
more calling attention to dimples, bright eyes
and red lips. I saw a particularly stunning
girl on Fifth avenue last week who wore one
at the tail of her left eye which gave her
somewhat reckless look, and another on her
round chin, which called public scrutiny to
very enchanting dimple.
After somewhat carefuY study of the SUBJ

Men love gossip quite as much as the weaker

stances of mans inquisitiveness. In a cable

young woman who sat near me carried an ad-

man, who turned and craned his head in
every direction and all but dslocated his neck
in his efforts to read that name and address.
His struggles for enlightenment were really
aniusing.

Gus contemplation the restoration of
the Panathenaic stadium began to feel
discouraged, but while casting about
for ways and means to meet the enor-
nous expense which the rehabilitation
OF this ancient arena would entail it
was made glad by the receipt of a do
nation of 100000 drachmas from Georg-
JUS Averoff, citizen Of Alexandria.
The donor expressly stipulated that
this princely gift should be applied
solely to the work on the stadium. Lat
er he increased the sum to 9S0, 600
drachmas, and promised more in case
it was needed. In this connection it is

AS soon as the plan Of the proposed
revival Of the Olympian games was
made known it became the center of
universal interest. In each nation a
committee of prominent men was ap-
pointed to participate in the work and
to stir up the athletic world to an ap-
probation of the Importance of the
scheme. The general committee was
formed and on its list were placed the
most honored names of every land.
Conferences by letter and cablegram
have been held from time to time, and
the best methods of procedure that
could be devised have been followed
Many difficulties from various local
causes, and the representation Of the
several civilized nations will not be
so large as was at first expected, and
yet the occasion will be a great one,
and the contests will be fought out
by the representative amateur athletes
of the world.
Prof. William Sloane, Of Princeton unvers-
ity, Americas representative in the Olympic
committee, has directed every energy toward
having this country creditably represented,
and when recently he received word that the
Boston Athletic association had given UP the
idea of sending a team he appealed at once
to the Princeton management and laid before
it the Importance of having some college sup
port Americas interests at these games. By
these worthy efforts the approval of the faculty
was finally secured, the money necessary to
defray the expenses of the voyagers was
raised. and the excellent team which is now

NEW YORK, April 2.-If the spirit
of the great Herodes Atticus still lin
gers in the vicinity of the remnants
of his noble works, there will be a
glad ghost in Athens on the 9th Of
April, when the athletes of the world
file into the magnificent amphitheater
of the Panathenaic stadium to struggle
for. the bays that are to be won by
physical prowess, for never in the his
tory of the world has there been an
athletic event so notable and COM
prehensive as this one will be. The
Greeks themselves, who, for so large a
part Of the ancient time, were leaders
in athletics as well as in art, have
never seen its like, for they, in the
height of their glory, would enter into
no contests with other nations.
This was not because they had any
fear of losing their prestige. 1t was
question of caste. The Greeks of

Paris, July I4.-An attempt
was made to assassinate Pres
ident Faure today. The pres
ident had gone to Longchamps
tosreyiew the troops. He had
no sooner entered the field
when a man in the crowd step
ped forward and fired a revolt
yer at him. The shot did not
take effect. The wouId-be as
sassin was at once arrested.
He declared that he had only
fired a blank cartridge and
that he had no intention Of kill
ing the president.
When it became known in
the crowd at Longchamps that
the president had not been
hurt by the pistol the greatest
enthusiasm was manifested.
Cheer after cheer was sent up
and the people could scarcely
Be restrained by the guards
from crowding about the place
where the president and his
