and it should be matter for congratu-

of the prettiest fancies in a ball dress
for young lady was waist Of this
kind over skirt of baby blue taffeta
shot with silvery white. The skirt was
decorated with three complete wreaths
If pale pink crush roses set clear around.
The sleeves of the taffeta were crushed
in with another wreath of roses, and
two were put on the waist. The upper
one had foliage. The waist was cut
iquare and the edge bordered with
pearl beads. The waist was made of fig
lred satin in Persian design, with faint
pink, blue and green interviewer. The
light side was entirely smooth, while
he left was draped across to the hip,
leaving sharply defined point. The
adge Of tie draping also had row of
beads. A pompadour fan Of black ostrich

low there is new shade called rufus,

fine head Of hair it can be drawn mp
from the forehead in pompadour waves

Some wear diamond dust powdered
through the hair, and one or two daring

at hand and that false hair will again

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

On the occasion Of the seniors recent
reception and hop at the college the rail-
road company ran special train to the
college for the benefit of all Bellefonters
who desired to attend the affair. This
was the opportunity the students had been
waiting for. About y miles from the
college there is quito step grade, and
when the special struck the incline there
was buzz and u whir-r-r-r and the train
soon came ia a standstill, although the
wheels were spinning until the fire few.
Steam was shut off, and an examination
made, when it was found that the tracks
were CREASED with butter for distance of
several hundred feet, and it took the united
efforts of all on board to get the train up
the grade and into the college station, am
hour behind time, and this was only ac-
complished after the tracks had been thor.

WHITE WOMEN IN ueANpA.
Big Crowds Gather to See the First Eu-
rOpean Ladies' In That Country.

] DIX NroWos Eather 10 See the First ElI-
ropean Ladies' In That Country.
Oct. 4 last was a great day at AIengo,
/ the capital Of Uganda, for on that day the
/ first white women to enter tho country set
foot in the capital. They were two Eng
lish missionaries who had made the long
journey from the Indian ocean to tho
northern shore of Victoria Nyanza undor
the escort of Bishop Tucker of the Church
Missionary society. The natives had nov
or seen white woman before, and the
coming of the ladies was heralded for days
before they arrived wishin view of the
crowds that greeted them at the capital.
King Mwanga was if anything more OK
cited than any Of his people. Five days
before the bishop and the indies arrived ut
Mengo the king sent messenger with
letter for Bishop Tucker in which he said;
Many greetings to you. l rejoice
very, very much to hear that you are COM
ing, and thar you have now arrived in
my country with ladies, because, even
from my childhood, have never seen Eu-
ropean ladies. My greetings to the ladies
and all the Europeans who are with you.
This letter was from tho royal young
person who some years ago murdered
Bishop Harrington and slaughtered hun
dreds of the native Christians at his CAPT
tai Times have changed in Uganda.
On the day the ladies entered the capital
crowds covered every hill and lined tho /
road along which the caravan entered the |
town, Bishop Tucker writes that no saw
great crowds in Mengo on the day that
Sir Gerald Portal entered the capital, but
they were nothing to the enormous con-
course Of. people that welcomed the first /
women missionaries in Uganda. Thomas /
Of people was so great that it was difficult !
to make way along the road. Every
body WAS out to SEQ the remarkable spec
tacle. 1t is presumed that the ladies had /
a royal welcome from the king when Bish-
op Tucker introduced them, but the report
of that event has not yet come to hand.
A wonderful change has been wrought
in Uganda within the past few years.
