New Baby Card Etiouette.

1t is satisfactory to know that there
has been reform in the style of "baby
cards" When the scion of the house
arrives it is not necessary to place any
thing more on the card than the baby's
name-as soon as he has one. This
card is attached to the parents card by
a bow of narrow white satin ribbon
or silver cord. When the baby's name
has been announced there is moth
ing else to be placed on the card
1t was the custom to give the young
gentleman's weight-usually the ly-
ing figures of ten pounds, or even Bf-
teen when the father thought 1t would
look better.-St. Louis Republic.

Senator 2lank wants to continue
patronizing this theater, but he does
not want his daughter insulted at the
box office; and so l have engaged
gentleman to take your place."
The masher had received his card
from the beauty with vengeance, but
he never called to pay his respects. He
was married man, the rascal, and he
never recovered from the rebulle which
he received on that occasion. No other
theater wanted his services, and he has
since earned his living as clerk in a
clothing store. His example has proved
to be influential with others, if any
have been disposed to make the box Of
flee place for flirtations.
At all of our theaters the ticket
sellers are polite. They never forget
that they are surrounded by greatness
and power, and that the slightest devia-
ton from probity is likely to prove
costly. They are accommodating and
gentlemanly, but they have hard timo
of it, for they meet with human nature
in every guise. The majority of the pa
irons of the theater, of course, is fem
mime, and almost every woman sup
poses that the ticket agent is mind

before him and expect him to read
their thoughts and give them such tick

BIG SHIPS WRECKED.
Disaster on the Pacific by Which Five
LlYea Are Lost.


San Francisco, Nov. 23.-The South
ern Pacific railroads steamer San Ben
Ito, which left Tacoma for San Fran
cisco on Thursday last with n coal cargo
of 5000 tons and u crew of 43 men, was
driven ashore early Sunday morning
two miles north of Point Arena in a
heavy gale. Five of the crew were
drowned, ten others were picked up by
the steamer Point Arena and the cap
tain and ~ men are clinging to the
rigging with slight hope of their being
saved. The vessel will be total loss.
The drowned are: o. w. Scott, first
assistant engineer; f. Condor, second
assistant engineer; NJ. Pendergast, fire.
man; M. Sheridan, mess boy; one sea
man. On the steamer Point Arena are
Chief Engineer j. w. Wood and nine
others, whose names cannot be learned.
Capt. William Smith is lashed to the
crows nest of his vessel and encourag-
ing those about him not to give up hope.
The San Renita encountered a heavy
southeast gale with driving rain when
off Point Arena and it is supposed that
Capt. Smith lost his bearings owing to
the thick weather. When the vessel
struck an effort was made to launch
the boats. The first one, containing
First Engineer Scott and his COM
| panions, was capsized and all were
drowned. The second boat, in COM
mand of Chief Engineer Wood, with
nine others on board, was more sue
cessful and kept afloat until picked up
by the steamer Point Arena. The
other boats were dashed to pieces after
leaving the davits and those on board
were obliged to take to the rigging for
safety, as heavy seas were breaking
over the decks of the collier gradually
settling down upon the rocks, broke in
two amidship. The Point Arena was
unable to approach the wreck on ac-
count of the high seas running and nc
assistance could be rendered from shore
as the collier was fully an eighth of a
mile from the nearest point of land
A life-saving crew with a rocket gun
was summoned from Point Arena sta
ton, but the gun would not carry faI
enough reach the wreck. The
wrecker Whitelaw left San Francisco
for the scene, but it is doubtful if those
on board the San Benito can withstand
the beating of the waves until succoI
reaches them.

THE OLD STORY.
Parents Go to n BaIl-House Takes Fire
Five Children Perish.

Five Children Perish.
Hamilton, Mo-, Nov. 23.-Five chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder Neal, liv
ing five miles north of the city, were
burned to death Saturday night. The
Neal dwelling was burned while the
parents were attending u dance. They
had eight children. The oldest, boy
of Is years, and baby accompanied the
parents to ball. About IL o'clock the
party broke up. Soon after starting
home, the Meals, and those accompany
ing them, discovered that the Neal resi-
dence was on fire.
When they reached the burning build
ing the father saw his 11-year-old girl
lying burning in the front door, clasp
ing her three-year-old brother in her
arms. The flames prevented rescue.
The children were then dead. The
father fell in swoon and has been a
raving maniac ever since. Nora, nine
years old, is the only survivor of the
fire. She says that the children at home
Guile, 13; Hattie, IL; Willie, Z; Clar-
ence, 5; Julian, 3, and herself, retired
at the usual hour in an upstairs cham
Der. The next she knew the fire was
coming through the floor, and the build
ing was enveloped in flames. She says
that all six were aroused. She rushed
to second-story window and jumped
to the ground, calling to the others to
follow, as the fire had cut off escape by
the stairway. 1t is thought the fire
was caused by an incendiary.

STORM MAKES MORE TROUBLE.
State of Washington Suffers from a Heavy
Fall of Snow.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 23.-Seattle and
the entire northwestern portion of the
state are just recovering from another
disastrous snowstorm, lasting from
Friday last until one o'clock Sunday.
Twelve inches of snow fell in as many
hours, the full fall during The storm
being over 1s inches. Nearly all the
Western Union telegraph wires in and
near this city are down and the tele-
phone and electric light systems are
completely paralyzed. Operation of
the electric street railways hcs been
suspended for the past three days.
Should the snow continue to melt as
rapidly as it is now melting, it will
bring increased disaster to the Cascades
divisions of the railroads and inestima-
BILE damage to private property.

Head Cut on.

Cedar Run, Pa, Nov. 23.-While
hunting pheasants on the mountain
side near here Joseph Champaign had
his head cut Off by rolling stone in a
most remarkable manner. His ten
year-old boy and two playmates were
up the steep mountain side about so
yards tumbling rocks down its pre-
cipitous sides in order to see them
splash into the creek. A big stono,
started by young Champaign on it's
downward course, struck the elder
Champaign and knocked the back of his
head off as clean as though it had been
cut with an ak.

HOW n bright Yankee Gtrl Is Earning
Good Income.
There is money in small dogs for any
woman who will cultivate the fashion
able and not too finely bred species, ac-
cording to the simplest rules of canine
hygiene. This is the opinion of girl
who has a small dog farm in her IA
ther's back yard, and is making it pay.
She began three years ago by rescuing
a batch of fat puppies from watery
grave, simply through tenderness of
heart, and, when the orphans were
thrown on her hands, volunteered to
find them homes when they arrived at
months of discretion.
"It was a big bar sinister somewhere
in their pedigree that made them worth
less to their original owner" she eX-
planned when telling about her expert
ment, 'but 1 saw they were developing
into very fair specimens of middle-class
fox terrierhood, so gave them the adj
vantages of decent education. l don't
think their rearing cost me cent. Some
nice large dry goods boxes made suit
able kennels; fed them with milk and
kitchen scraps, and because out of pure
affection for their race had them prop
erly docked, collared and named, and
gave them plain, solid education in de-
