How He Stopped the Noise OF q Convivial
Railroad Party.
The following story is told of the
late Gen. Hancock, says Life's Calen-
dar:
Gen. W. S. Hancock was in command
Of the train which brought Gen.
Grants remains from Mount Oregon to
New York. He and the staff were in
the coach next to the last. In the rear
car was Il party of Pennsylvania mil
tia officers, who were poTpiHg an oc-
casional bottle Of champagne and
smoking quite socially. Cen. Han
cack saw from his car what was going
on in the car. 1t did not comport with
his idea Of SO solemn I'll occasion, and
calling the conductor he said: "WiIl
you present my compliments to those
gentlemen with the request that they
cease smoking and drinling?"
In few minutes the conductor re-
turned with the announcement that
the convivial officers returned their
compliments with peremptory dccli-
nation to relinquish their cigars OF
wine.
'Where is the next switch?" asked
Hancock.
about five miles below" replied the
conductor.
when you reach it, if the smoking
and drinking in that car have not
ceased, switch it on a side track and
leave it. You may tell the gentlemen
what nave said.l
In two minutes the cigars and wine
were not to be seen in the rear coach.
Its occupants knew Hancock meapt
just what he said.

JAPAN'S GREAT CATHEDRAL.
Novel Method of Protecting the Building
from Destruction by Fire.

Novel Method of Protecting tho Building
from Destruction by Fire.
When foreign architects visit Japan
and see the cathedral Of buddhism for
the first time. they are generally as
tonished at the magnificent structure
1t is executed in pure oriental
style, and is richly ornamented with
carvings. II. Ito, a famous builder of
Nagova City, designed it. The struc-
ture was commenced in 1873, and was
completed this year. The cost has
been estimated at $1,000, 900. It would
have greatly exceeded this amount had
not numbers of Buddhists worked
without any recompense.
AS the structure, neared completion
the committee having the work in
charge was much perplexed as to fire
insurance. They found that no COM
pany would assume the risk on such
u valuable wooden structure, the dan
ger of destruction by fire being very
great, and thus the premiums would
amount to an. enormous sum of money.
AT last the committee decided on Il
design devised by DR.. Tanabe. Num-
hers of powerful fountains were con-
structed, both exterior and interior,
which can be made to play on all parts
Of the structure at the same time.
Usually only one great ornamental
. fountain is playing, rising to the great
height of 157 feet. This is probably
the largest artificial fountain in exist
ence, emitting $4,000 gallons per hour.
In case of fire all the water pressure is
directed through the numbers of eX-
terror and interior fountains; thus
every part of the structure, both in
side and outside, could soon be
drcnched, and any conflagration soon
eXtinguished.

Japanese Jugglers' Joke.

The skill of Japanese jugglers is
illustrated by a recent incident at
Japanese dinner, where one of them
was employed to entertain the COM
pany. a foreign guest determined to
have no optical illusions about what
the juggler did. He never let his
glances be distracted and was not once
off his guard. Noticing this, the old
juggler played to him entirely. A
large porcelain vasewas brought in and
set in the middle of the room, and the
jugg'cr, crawling up, let himself down
into it slowly. The skeptic then sat
for half an hour without taking his
eyes from the vase, which he had first
been convinced was round and firm,
and stood on no trap door. After this
prolonged watch the rest of the COM
pany assailed him with laughter and
ieers and pointed to his side, where
the old juggler had been seated for
some minutes.

corselets, boleros, and, in fact, are en-
ployed in every conceivable way. The
latest novelty in lace is a combination of
ivory and black.
Costumes of black or dark colored velvet
have the front of the bodice entirely of
lace, arranged, with its trimmings, to
show q lining of velvet of another color.
The Marie Antoinette fichu of chiffon
and lace is seen on many evening gowns,
framing the decolletage and held in place
by chOux. The lace border forms q double
bertha, while the points in front are ar
ranged in coquilles to the belt For ordi-
nary house wear ample fichus of plain or
dotted net, edged with fine plaitings OF
the same material, are serviceable and be-
coming.
Lace points turned down over the top of
high, draped collars are very fashionable.
The lace, which is usually fine, may be
used alone or may be mounted on points
of velvet, which will sustain it.
The costume shown in the sketch Is of
plaid velours in mixed, red, chestnut and
white. The godet skirt is untrimmed. The
close bodice has a short, rippled basque
and opens in front over coquilles of white
gauze, embroidered in cashmere designs.
The fronts of the bodice and the edge of
the high collar arc finished by a band of
sable, and sable encircles the wrists of the
gigot sleeves. Three large buttons deco
rate each side of the front. and a band Of
sable Stimulates a pointed yoke behind.

In the most exclusive set in Thomp-

tons and Adamses, Jeffersons and Clay
burns, amateur theatricals are very
much in vogue this winter. The other
evening a performance of "Othello'
was given at the residence of Mrs. T.
Jefferson Washington, 99% Thompson
street. A cgtillon was to follow the
play, and Mrs. Washington IS invitations
were acknowledged with few regrets.
The hostess received her guests in the
white and gold drawing room, at the
west end of which a stage had been
erected. At 9: 80 the curtain rose.
The roles Of Desdemona and Othello
wero taken respectively by Miss Ariadne
Jones and Mr.. Quincy Adams johnson.
The rest of the cast was equally clever.
Everything went we'll until the sec
ond act. Desdemona and Othello were
having little tiff, when suddenly Othel-
10 had occasion to sneeze. Turning to
Desdemona, he cried:
'Desthdemona, Desthdemona, whar
ara my pocket han 'kachief?''
Desdemona thought for a moment,
and then with a sweet smile she said:

worry Over Money Matters Interferec
With Play at st. Petersburg.
The New York Sun publishes the fol-
lowing letter from St. Petersburg, which
may somewhat explain the sudden falling
of of Pillsbury in his showing at the great
tourney:
The interest which was shown in the
international chess tournament at St.
Petersburg has considerably decreased in
Russia, because SO many things have oc-
CURED which made it unpleasant for the
players, the committee and the spectators
Much unpleasantness has been caused
by the betting element introduced in the
club.
Tschigorin has been backed to an enor-
nous extent, and among others there is
one bet involving the sum of 5000 rubles.
This hacker is terribly disappointed at the
turn things have taken, for he will GER
tainly lose his money. He comes to the
club in an excited state, becomes nervous
and continually annoys Tschigorin, who
in consequence has likewise grown nerv-
Gus. This is the real cause of the Rus
SLAMS poor form, and if his hacker does
not keep away from him he has made up
his mind to retire from the tournament.
Pillsbury was done out of a considerable
sum by buying the sole right of publishing
the games in England and Americans
he supposed. Steinitz, his partner in this
ed. for he, too, will lose money.
Pillsbury, who kept out of all wrangles,
is very much liked here. The other day
Tschigorin took him for sledge ride on
the Neva, the team being an excellent pair
of reindeer, a sport which he hugely en-
joyed. But he too, has become nervous
over money matters, and even his most
ardent admirers think he will break down.
Such a thing would cause a panic, for
there are immense sums at stake. When
he lost his game with Lasker the other
day, his first defeat at the champions
hands, a painful silence prevailed in the
room, and, although refraining from
speaking out Pillsbury's hackers plainly
showed in their faces the lnisgivings they
felt.
Pillsbury said to local reporter that no
liked Russia very much, and that he
would do his best to induce Tschigorin to
participate in another similar tourney at
Warsaw, both Lasker and Steinitz having
already announced their Willingness to
play.
Herewith is the game contested by
TschigOrin and Steinitz in the fourth
round in which the latter threw away his
queen, thus losing game that he should
have won:
