you were considered Il very Indifferent
patriot. The team was organized only
about two weeks ago and their most
sangune admirers scarcely expected
that they would win their first game,
against such supposedly formidable
adversaries as the Carbonate Alumni
team. But that is just what they did.
and in such scientific manner that
there was no doubt left in the minds
of the spectators as to which was the
better team. Neither team had any APP
parent advantage in weight. and al
though the Alumni eleven have been
playing together for several years.
Their team work and especially the
interference was much inferior to that
of the Maytield team. 1t was a great
victory, and If the vanpuished Carbon
dale team have not yet fully realized

next time to make it even more decis-

Salvation Army Girls to Form a Cavalry
 Brigade.

Salvation Army Girls to Form a Cavalry
 Brigade.
 The unique scheme of Salvation Ar my cavalry brigade, ill which girls as well as men will ride on horseback aft CT sinners whom they hope to convert, is projected by Brigadier William Evans of Philadelphia, in command of the At lantic coast division The summer months are to be utilized by expedi- tions which will travel all over the country comprised within the limits of the Atlantic division. The cavalry force of girls will be organized to travel on horseback from town to town in the country, stopping for several days at those places where they may receive the greatest encouragement There will be enough musicians among them to form all organized band, and few of them who expect to lead in the singing have been well instructed in music. The or ganized eayalcade, which seems to bear a strong resemblance to all Arab cara van crossing the desert, will be in charge of Staff Captain Blanche Cox, who has had experience i'll this sort of work in every part of the world. Much of her time has been spent ill India, and later she had charge of the Colorado di- vision of the Army.
 Similar i'll many respects to this ex- petition is the travelling band of sing ing girls, which will also start from Philadelphia on an extended tour These bear the name of the Great Advance, and although they are unsupplied with horses they are expected to advance as far into the territories of the wicked as the cavalry Cincinnati Enquirer.

RACING ToGs.

 Style of Coat.

ChoIly Knickerboelzer Predicts a New
 Style of Coat.
 And speaking of racing reminds me that we are likely to see some very ex- quisite masculine toilets at the races this spring and summer.
 I know half dozen of the racing set that have ordered entirely new togs, and l am told that some Of the creations will be simply marvellous.
 Among the things that will gladden. the eye of the lover of new effects will be an elongated frock coat, with collar and cuffs of velvet.
 It would appear that the most charac- teristic feature of this coat will be the style of the back, which will have no tails at all, but will have two openings at the side.
 What tie deuce it will look like cannot imagine. 1 have only repeated here the description that have read elsewhere.
 These new coats are made i'll various shades of fawn, and there will be no silk facings and no coattails, the velvet collars and cuff taking the place of the former and the slits at the sides the place of the latter.
 I should like to see either Ned Bulke- ley CT Center Hitchcock arrayed i'll one of these garments -Cholly Kn1cker- booker i'll New York Recorder.

It is Il brand new straw hat, one of the first of the season. Its crown is de- cidedly unique in shape, like one of those old fashioned milk pails that stand in the dairy house down under heath the willows on the typical New England farm. The brim IS broad and fiat, and q narrow black ribbon gives an air of jauntiness to the spring cha peau.
 It is the new bonnet which adorns the bald head of Speaker Reed. Wash ington Post.

capitol in a carved frame, part of Which Is of wood from the old tree it. seI. The tree stood on the homestead of the celebrated Wyllys family until 1897. When the place was sold to Stephen bulkeley. In 1840 the homestead be- came the property of Catherine. the Wife of the Hon. Isaac Stuart. MT. Stu- art took great pride in the historic oak and the sloping hillside where it stood was the Mecca Of visitors from this and foreign countries. The tree fell during 3 high wind Oil Aug. 21, 1856. A man who was boy 10 years old at that time, ln recalling the incident, remem- bers that he climbed up into the bougbs of the prostrate tree and picked an acorn. The bells in all the city churches were tolled as if for some one dead.
 Mr. Stuart took charge of the fallen tree and preserved it from the most ruthless relic hunters. The wood was in great demand, and thousands of small articles were made from it, including "nutmegs. :" The two largest remaining relics of the tree are the finely carved chair for the presiding officer in the sen ate chamber and q piano called the U. Il. Mosto piano, whose parts are of gen uine charter oak. The senate chair was designed by a son of Governor A. Il. Holley and was carved by French man named Vigneaux.
 Several seedlings from the tree are known to exist. The tree is said to have been 21 feet in circumference ' feet from the ground, and it is said that the cav ity ill the tree became so large that 21 persons stood within it at one time. A careful computation fixed the tree,s age at little less than 1000 years New York Sun.

Diplomatic pressure is being brought
to bear upon the porte increasing the

ment has been received from Captain
Vilalar:
Il have witnessed hideous enormities.
Young girls and women were publicly
sold az auction. A mother threw her
two daughters into a well to save them
from the Turks.
Evidences of Turkish official COM
plicity have been obtained by me. The
foreign press should be ashamed to re-

plored the humiliating role accepted
by France. The porte continues to
hang Armenians publicly
