THE BELLE OF THE BALL. But When She Unmasked Cousternat:on Reigned.

'. Reigned.
 New York World.
 The cold wave that swept down the Hudson today was not icy enough to cool the wrath of Louisa Washington Kicks, who has begun a suit against Chief Meskil of the Highland Falls Fire com. pany. for ordering her from the mas querade ball given by the firemen at Stephens hotel, Highland Falls, a few nights ago.
 Miss Kicks is a dusky maiden of fair proportions. She Is employed as cook by Capt. James Parker of the cavalry here and was taken to the ball by one of Captain Parker's- buglers. The door keeper admitted her without any hesita- tion. and showed her the dressing room where she donned mask aud Cinderella costume.
 Tn the ball room she was the center of attraction. Her costume was unique, showing her shapely form to advantage A dozen youths followed her wherever she went Her dancing was superb.
 All went we'll until the time came for unmasking. A thrill of consternation went through the assembled guests when they beheld colored girl grinning in their midst. Chief Meskil and the floor committee after a~conference requested Miss Kicks to leave. She did so, vow ing vengeance Yesterday she tried to get warrants for Meskil and the com mittee but no magistrate would grant them She now brings suit for S3O00 damages. The papers in the suit were served today.

Mrs. Cleveland receive with their official
 invitations a little red card, which per-
 mits them to drive into the grounds by
 the southwest gate and enter the exec
 utive mansion by private door at the
 south front. All others must approach
 by the main driveway and enter the lit
 little narrow north door and file into the
 dressing rooms, and thence to the blue
 room, where the receiving party stands
 to greet them. For great many years
 1t has been the custom not to require
 the presentation of cards of invitation
 at the door, and the result has been that everybody who wishes to attend one of
 these receptions does so and takes with
 him anywhere from one to half dozen guests. This is the real cause of the con- stant complaint that more persons are invited than can be accommodated in the spacious room of the White House, and it is an imposition against which many presidents have rebelled, but to which remedy. Every Tom, Dick and Harry in Washington, who desires to get a glimpse of what is generally called "so- cial life" crowds into the White House and makes himself as much at home as if he were especially invited.
 On Thursday night last the uninvited crowd at the reception given to the army and navy was greater and more demo- cratic than usual The crush was awful and mingled with the diplomats, the army and navy officers, the JurlStS ana the statesmen, were the shopkeepers and less deserving people, who went to the White House in spite of the fact that they were not invited. A good idea of how the Washingon public regard the ex- clusiveness of these card receptions is afforded by the remark of a handsome, gentlemanly looking citizen who was standing in the great crowd outside of the door last Thursday night awaiting his chance for admission. Looking about him at the men and women in full evening dress, he said to his companion:
 Charley, I believe we ought to have worn our dress suits.
 There were hundreds of people within the brilliantly lighted rooms who did not wear their dress suits, and by actual count there were more than two score of women wearing their bonnets, and at least half Of that number with their street coats under their arms. umbrellas in their hands and gum shoes on their feet They went down the line of the re- ceiving party, were announced with great fcrmality by Colonel Wilson, and then wandered about through the flower be- decked rooms into the conservatory and the East room, listened to the Marine hand playing sweet music, apparently as much at home as at a church sociable in Jayville. A large number of these women were accompanied by half-grown chill dren, who wore their street clothes and stood about abashed at the pomp and | glitter of the occasion. At least one gem tleman paid his respects to Mrs. Cleve- land and the other members of the re-

 Official receptions at the White House are becoming each year more serious and intolerable impositions upon the hosts and the invited guests, and it is tf>>----ssght that some method for inspecting cards of invitation will soon be devised. Each winter the president and Mrs. Cleveland give four card receptions at night. The first in honor of the diplomatic corps. the second in honor of the army and navy, the third in honor of congress and the fourth to the general public. At each of these receptions the wives of the members of the cabinet assist in receiv- ing, and back of the hne-stand 200 or 300 specially invited guests.

 Colonel Ingersol on the Prayers for His
 Conversion.
 Press Dispatch from New York.
 Col. Bob Ingersoll has formally replied to his friends" who have been praying for him. He said among other things
 I take it for granted that the people praying for me are sincere, and that they have a real interest in my welfare of course, I thank them one and all, They believe in a God of infinite power, of in- finite wisdom, and of infinite goodness. If they are right in this, then their God knows what ought to be done and has the goodness and power to do it. It is not necessary for a finite being to en- tighten infinite wisdom or to soften the heart of infinite goodness or to assist the infinitely powerfully. Certainly an in- finite God needs no advice. These Chris tians also believe in another great being called the devil. They do not think he is quite as strong as God, but somewhat quicker, not as wise as God but alto gether more cunning. This devil does all he can to keep people from being con verted. God knits and the devil ravels. God sews and the devil rips. Why does not God convert the devil? Why did he create the devil? These things. I know, are sacred mysteries that we should not try to understand. At the same time it is hard to see why wise and good God would create living suffering fuel for eternal fire. I think that I had better remain as am. I had better follow the light of my reason, be true to myself, ex- press my honest thoughts and do the little can for the destruction of super stition, the little I can for the develop ment of the brain, for the increase of intellectual hospitality and the happi- ness of my fellow beings.

Little ones that have goldfish and wish to keep them we'll should allow them as large a glass bowl as possible. Renew the water every day by means of a si- phon, so that the fish may not be fright ened by being caught in a net. In giving fresh water one gives fresh food of the most wholesome kind. Never give them bread. Ants eggs dried can be procured at any bird store: every other day give three or four of them to each fish. The bowl should be in a bright place, but nou in the direct rays of the sun.

 Mines the Sole Topic.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-23

Mines the Sole Topic.
 Even the prospect of trouble with Eng land is not sufficient to divert the general tone of conversation from the all-absorb- ing topic of Cripple Creek mines. The district is so large that no one, after sev- eral years residence in Cripple Creek. can claim to understand and know all about it. The formation is a puzz1er and gives rise to endless discussions. The character of the ore is so deceptive that nothing short of smelter returns can satisfactorily prove it's value. Two pieces of ore looking to all intents exact 1y alike, may prove to be the one very rich, the other worthless. Those great rounded hills, each alive with activity on all sides cannot be comprehended af- ter weeks of close observation. This sit uation gives rise to constant exchange of opinion and general discussion. Add to this the constant trading in proper ties, reported strikes and the denial of rumors, and you have a variety of local topics for discussion that quite elimi- mates all interest from without.
 In such a center as this one naturally expects to meet all sorts and conditions of men. A dudish. looking young fellow. fresh from Chicago, presents you his card, which announces that he is min~ ing expert. Two weeks ago he had not seen a mine, but having made fortu- nate deal upon his arrival in camp he now sets himself up as a mining expert; ana IS ready 10 give Wrltten opinions at great length upon any property he may be ordered to examine.
 "The funny part of it is,' said an old- timer in mining matters, "that this young chap can give just as s1od an expert opinion of a prospect in this camp as I can. My opinion has always been that this camp would not amount to much, and I have turned down propositions that have ~sincS, recome shipping mines. This fresh terk tfoot comes in here and makes a faVfrsFzze report upon prospect claim which proves to be correct"
 Many Tenderfeet Here.
 It certainly is great camp for the ten derfoot. From stories heard in this camp the fortunate mining strikes have been made by new men. generally unfamiliar with mining affairs. The exception to this has been the success of R. M. Ma loney in his lease on Gold Hill property. He had made considerable money in the sSlack Hills country, and came to Cripple Creek to look over the camp. He secured lease on prospect claims on Gold Hill. where not pound of shining ore had been discovered, and there he began to sink a shaft to a greater depth than had been previously attempted.
 The experts and prospectors more fa- miliar with the camp had expected to find | the ore by shallow shafts or by trencbpg across claims to find the outpouring vein Failing to do this, they had proounced the ground barren, and had gone off to other hills to continue their prospecting They laughed at Maloney for wasting time and money in sinking deep shafts. Maloney does all the laughing now, and | on Gold Hill there are twenty deep shafts, from every one of which valuable ore Is | now shipped.

Human Arm Kneading.

Where the kneading of dough is
performed by hand it is impossible
even under the most favorable cir
cumstances to prevent the eXuding
of the sweat of the brow and more
particularly Of the powerful arms
that are dived up to the armpits
into the pillows of -four and water
which they are to knead. Added
to this is the putting and blowing Of
all kinds of breath, charged with
tobacco, drink, or the germs of an
impaired health, or merely the in
firmly of sneezing during the pass
ing indisposition called a bad cold.
And what a concourse Of bacilli,
bacteria and their aunts and cous;
ms must be congregated there with
open jaws ready to seize upon their
victims. For the consolation of
those bakers who are still obliged to
resort to this means of kneading
dough be it stated that there are
many people who do not mind it all.
A lady, scrupulously clean in every
thing else, expressed the conviction
that all of the above named flavor
ings disappeared in the heat to
which the bread was exposed in the
process OF baking. Faith is half
the cure and such customers are
quite likely to live long enough to
see out the last pair of human arm
kneaders. There must of course be
exceptions to prove a rule, and the
rule Is that the more the public
sees and hears of the manual pro.
cess Of making bread, the more
they shrink from eating 1t, and the
more they patronize those bakeries
where machininery is used, and
bread is made almost untouched by
hand.
