that the dry dock is located at Charleston,

In Frank Leslie,s Illustrated Weekly

Tn Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly for this week, for sale at Pease's, is a group of pictures of "Belles of Rich field Springs and Adirondack Resorts" this season, among which are excel- lent pictures of Miss Adelaide Buell. Hyde, the whist teacher" and her sis ter, Miss Mamie Hyde, an Ampersand Belle" The pictures will be recognized as excellent by the many New Haven friends of these New Haven young la- dies. Miss Adelaide Hyde was former ly 8 teacher of drawing in New Ha- ven's schools. Of the Misses Hyde the paper says as follows: At Hotel Am- persan1, on the lovely Lower Saranac, and near by are many women worth seeing and knowing. The three men, | toned and photographed cannot fairly | be termed belles, for the qualities that are indicated by that somewhat flip pant title-simply attracting general | attention by personal charm, toilette, etc.-are in each case overshadowed l by intellect, genuine earjlestness of purpose, and varied capacity, while certainly lacking nothing of the physi- cal beauty so good to look upon.

Habitues of Lakewood will recognize the cider as not only friend, but clever teach CT of whist, whose four months season at that fashionable New Jersey resort for the past two or. three years has been So crowded with work that little time was left for other play.
 This fad of studying whist is much more serious matter than many think. Miss Hyde says it takes twelve-hour lessons to get to the foundation prin- \ ciples, and then must follow practice, It is splendid mental training-devel- opes memory, observation, concentra-
 tion.' says Miss Hyde, and Americans lead all nations in enthusiasm and

RAILROAD BLUE ENVELOPES.
They Generally Contain Check aud
Discharge Card.

They Generally Contain Check aud
Discharge Card.
When a railroad employee receives q
letter inclosed in Il blue envelope he gem
orally understands it contains a check
for salary due and a note saying his
services are no longer required. So the
"blue envelope" has come to be dreaded
among railroad men. and even when the
Italian section hands see their boss re-
ceive a ''buste celeste" they know that
something is wrong. Regarding the orr
gin of the blue envelope" there are
many stories. Howard j. Ball of Buff
falo, general Western passenger agent
of the Delaware, Lackawanna n West
ern railroad. in reply to a question, said:
Il have been in railroad service for
thirty-one years and the blue envelope
dates beyond that. The term has been
accepted during all my experience rs
meaning dismissal
There are exceptions to the rule. A
dismissal card is not always inclosed in
Il blue envelope.
Some railroad presidents use blue en-
velopc for all correspondence with the of
ficials of the road. President Sloan OF
the Delaware. Lackawanna u Western
is among the number. OF course these
envelopes are never sent to anyone out
side of officials. When Il conductor gets
may change his uniform.
Many railroad men believe that the
''blue envelope" originated on the New
York Central about eighteen years ago,
when there were many discharges. Al
though the envelopes may have been
used in this case, it had its origin long
before.
The story is current that some forty
years ago a gang of workmen engaged
on the Erie canal. near Schenectady,
had for their foreman an illiterate Irish
man. who was color blind This fore
man one day received his discharge in
closed in a blue envelope. He present
ed it to a fellow workman to read. The
friend had also been dismissed and took
great pleasure in reading the letter. The
Irishman quickly remarked
"Well. debad, they think less of yeZ
than they does of me. They painted me
letthcr green before they stint it"
Thus it came about that the blue en-
veope' was known on the Erie canal.
This is one of the first stories told about
it. There seems to be little danger or
the term being forgotten so long as there
are railroad men to be discharged.-New
York Times
