IN KANSAS OF COURSE.
Hall Stones as Large as Ostrich Eggs Fall In
the City of Topeka.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 24-The worst
hail storm known in the history of
Kansas struck this city shortly after
6 O'Clock tonight. Hailstones weigh
ing from IL to 16 ounces stripped
trees Of their foliage, smashed win
dow panes on every hand, including
the finest plate glass fronts; cut
down telegraph and telephone wires,
riddled awnings and inflicted unpre-
cedented damage throughout the
city. Dogs were struck in the streets
and instantly killed. Horses were
knocked to their knees to rise again
and dash away in mad fright. Run
aways occurred throughout the city
When the fury of the storm had
passed, dead birds were found every
where. A heavy wind and terrific
Tightening accompanied the storm.

that has withstood a siege OF war
guns. There are not dozen build

life for the pleasure of writing it's own
epitaphs. preaching its own funeral ser

For remarkable combination OF the
three is "The Epi-Lark." On reading
the apt quotations that head every
page, sympathetic person is awed by
the quality of the temptations to self

But the mood in which we turn the
Japanese paper pages Of the last Lark,
Is anything but fiippant. It is some

flies into the face of the day, and now
something to have lost them. One Of
the Lark's originators writes that sthe
pubic critics (all save one) have insist d
upon the surprise and superficial oddly
of it, and they have not felt the glow
from the real fire Of it's serious and
sincere enthusiasm" May we suggest
to the editors of the Lark that just
because their enthusiasm was serious
and sincere, they kept it as an under

is ruffie Of the lace. intermingled
with the flowers. The skirt Is also
festooned with gold lace, and the
train. which is lined with primrose
yellow satin, is edged with gold en-
broidery, deep lace ruff1es and punches
of primroSes. There Is a gown that
would delight the heart of any woman
who loves pretty materials, which they
all do.
The gown which Miss French will
wear is not q whit less charming. It
will have a full white satin train with
border Of chiffon ruffles and lace. and
will be lined with silk. The bodice will
be cut low and have epaulettes Of
snowdrops. The sleeves will be made
of four very full ruffles edged with
chiffon and with lace chemisette of
pleated chiffon across the front. There
will be a broad satin band or bodice
lodged and embroidered with pearls,
with large bunch Of snowdrops at
one side. The seams up the front of
the skirt will have very fine pearl
trimming running up to the waist line.
and full heading of snowdrops at
the top of the ruf11es.
All this recalls to mind the fact that
the presentation at court is something
which the uninitiated fail to appre-
ciate. You know you must never turn
your back on her majesty. This makes
it very hard for the person presented to
properly manage the elaborate costume
in which she must of necessity be ar
rayed. Think of having to back clear
across the room with a train that Is

which cannot be picked up" from the
floor. One might reasonably think
that young woman sufficiently skilled
to accomplish this difficult feat would
be equal to any emergency.
This marvel Of management, how
ever, can be acquired by earnest
practice. There are schools in London
where one is taught how to manage a
train. The scholars at these establish
ments are women of all ages, and the
teachers are experts in all the ways OF
society, the ethics. the methods. It
takes weeks of preparation to become
fitted for presentation at court. The
English society girl Is taught to look
forward to the event as second only
to her wedding day. She thinks Of it.

| LONDON. May 22.-The American
girl, like the american Beauty rose.
will be one Of the ,notable features of the
queens jubilee. iyThis has been placed
beyond all DOUBT by the personality
Of the young ladies whom Ambassador
and Mrs. Hay have chaperoned through
the awesomA chahnel that leads to the
harbor of a3e loyal presence. Many
very handsome 8oung women who hail
from the United States have been ''pre-
sented" at cDurb} but the debutantes Of
1897 in count, life from the other side,
are unusuaNY attractive.
CHANGING at thA list Of names Of those
who have bowedilow in the royal pres
ence. there is Noticed one Of the most
notable Of the Now York pretty society
girls. Miss Daisy Post. Perhaps one OF
Miss Posts clainas to prominence is the
fact that she is}said to- be engaged to
Bradley-Martin Jr., the son of that
couple whose masquerade ball will be
famous in New York annals long after
official history has been forgotten. Then
there are Miss French, Of New York
Miss Taylor and Miss Caroline Phelp
Stokes, of the same place. and Miss
,Drexel and Miss Julia Rush, Of Phila-
delphia. Even though small, this is
list for the portrait painter to revel
in. The Gainsborough beauties will
certainly have to look to their laurels.
Ambassador. Hays contingent ait the
jubilee festival will, for the reasons
stated, undoubtedly. be the cynosure Of
all eyes wherever 1t may be located.
In spite Of all that has been said for
and against the, American beauty as
compared with her English cousin, the
dominant opinion in British society to-
day is that the English girl, with all
her charm and her pretty ways, must
train herself tolsbe a trif1e more wo-
manly, If she would win the prize in
the beauty contest. The American girl
is pretty, chic, and full Of womanliness.
The English girl is inclined to be
| trif1e stiff and little patronizing,
while her beauty is not of that sort
which rises above any charm of man
ner. It Is noticeable even now that a
number Of the pretty Americans who
will be present at the queens jubilee,
are centers of f attraction at social
events. They are not all rich, by any
means. and the old stor Of money and

THE COMING MACCABEEs' CeNvEN-
TION WILL DRAW A LARGE
CROWD.

The state convention Of the Macca-
bees in st. Paul June 2, will be also a
gathering of members of the order for
the entire Northwest, and the attend
ance will be large even for an affair
of that character. The Minnesota popu-
lation is literally sprinkled with en-
thusiastic members Of the order, and
they will be out in force from every
section. Letters have been received
from the Dakotas, Iowa, Wisconsin and
other Northwestern states informing
the committee that delegations from
those states were coming, and the
chances are that the meeting will take
on the nature Of big jubilee. it
will be all the more interesting from
the fact that it occurs on the sixteenth
anniversary Of the order, and in adj
dition to the regular business Of the
convention and the entertainment
features provided by the local Macca-
bees. something out Of the usual Or
der will be provided in honor of this
anniversary. The order has had re-
markable growth and now numbers
261, 579 members, and last year alone
added 35.715 to the membership roll.
The st. Paul members of the order are
proud Of the fact that the convention
Is to be held here, ED will make It
the most enjoyable gathering the order
