CIGARETTE HOLDERS.

The newest in cigarette holders are OF
flagree silver. Strange as 1T may ap-
pear to those women around whom still
clingS Ghe old-fashioasd idea that to-
bacco may only be used with propriety
by the sterner sex, these dainty de-
signed and finished silver articles are
intended for women only. They bear
slight resemblance to the old-faShioned
silver bouquet holders of two-score
years ago. They are of silver filagree SO
fine as to resemble lace work and of
course each enc has an especial and a
beautiful design. These designs are all
of them floral. 1t appears the associa-

THE LADIES PIPE.
On the few pipes, which are also in
tended for women, the tracings Of silver
and gold over the briarwood and bowls
are not fICral, but appear to follow the
conventional Greek and Roman designs.
The stems of these dainty little pipes
they are all small-are of the clearest
amber and some of them quite long and
curved These pipes for ladies" are
only to be had in a few shops, and,
strange to say. the merchants seem a
bit ashamed of keeping them But there
is no shame in the woman smoker VINO

DOES THE ACTION SURVIVE.
Question Raised in the Case of Sprague
VS.. Moses Greene.

The case of Amasa Sprague, 2d, against

Counsel for the defendant in his brief
argues that our statutes in no place state
that a suit shall not abate, but simply
provido n convenient way for the exec

substitution of administrators for the
original plaintiff, the counsel contends, is
the commencement Of new suit which

within the time of three years allowed

nccrues has derived him of all remedy.

posted at the British and German consul
ates, the ccatral station and other inn
portant posts, while the volunteers hur-
ried to their assembly posts, fully armed.
Three companies of infantry were as
signed 20 guard the bridges. The light
horse infantry company offered aid in
ratrolinu, and the artillery c)mIany drew
up Its guns on the cathedral campus.
This prompt action of the authorities
alarmed the riotipg coolies, who made
one attempt 10 form i'm line and face the
marines and volunteers.
One volley directly at their shins caused
them tc fec, leaving several wounded in
the streets. That evening a large gather

Safe breakers made their way into the

and got away with the money in tie in
ner drawer and left the premises with no
tracks behind them but the open win
dow in the Office, through which they had
passed. The robbers were evidently ac-
quainted with the premises and were
aware that yesterday was pay day. They
expected to make a fine haul of cash, but
they were disappointed for the only re-
ward of all the risk and work was $50 in
cash, which had been left over aft II the
pay roll had been covered. The robbers
will be panied To know that in their
