nnAAvE MEANT WEi.s.
Rut Her Efforts Did Not Meet With arusA
 Success.


 Success. Last season q Washington woman. possessing both social and charitable ambitions, elected to give a reception. The affair was to be vory exclusive. Judge of the surprise when bundle of invitations was left at the door of a hospital in town upon whose board of managers Mrs. 2. serves The invita- esons were found to be addressed to the trained nurses of the institution, and Preat was the wonder that the profes- sional ranks had been invaded for SO ciety recruits.
 A few days elapsed, and Mrs. z. paid visit to the hospital. Making herself extremely agreeable, she remarked to the nurses:
 Well, girls, I hope you received cards to my reception?"
 Smiles and acknowledgements answer ed i'll tho affirmative, and Mrs z. went on complacently
 Indeed, l was only too glad to re- member you all. Appreciate how much work and how little play you girls have, and I thought you would enjoy a little glimpse of society fun :"
 sNo doubt of it, Mrs. E., ono of the nurses spoke up, "but none of us are likely to have gowns suitable to wear at such a function
 "Oh that need not trouble you in tho least, " returned the smiling Mrs. 2. "Now, my idea is this. Of course X understand you have no evening gowns and that you know very few society people, but these facts must not inter fere with your getting peep at my guests and eating some of my supper. I thought the whole thing would be sim plified if you all came in your pretty uniforms and caps and took up your stations in the dressing rooms. You would only have to assist the ladies with their wraps, and you could see the gowns to such good advantage, and''-- But such a chorus of indignant ex- eiamation rent the air at that juncture that Mrs. z. s sentence was never com pleted.
 The social veneering must be thiekly coated on Mrs. q, for to this day she does not seem to understand why the nurses meet her advances with frigid indifference and why her visits to the hospital are no longer pleasant Wash tngton Star.

PARIS, Aug. 30.-The city is growing
into frenzy of enthusiasm over the
welcome to be extended to President
Faure on his return from his visit to
Russia. Already the principal streets
and buildings are decorated with flags
and bunting.
All the vehicles seen on the streets on
the day of the presidents return will be
decorated with the tri-color and all the
cafes and wineshops will be permitted
to remain open all night and outdoor
balls will be held in every square.
There will also be a repetition of the
beautiful Examinations made on the
occasion of the czar's visit to Paris.
The remarkable feature is that all is
done spontaneously by the citizens with
no attempt at official organization. The
excitement has reached such pitch
that there is talk of making Aug. 80 the
national fete day instead of July IA,
and also instituting life presidencies
with President Faure as the first in.

siderable plumber carried away. He
and his wife were away from home
visiting at the time, and the burglars
took advantage of their absence.
A quantity of clothing and silver
ware was stolen. Mr.. Nc

Bowen of the burglary yesterday, and
that official is in Lake Crystal today
looking into the matter. The bur-
glars left no clue.

RACES AT THE STATE FAIR.

The races at the State Fair this
year will be more attractive than
usual, because the purses are larger
than heretofore-aggregating $1,000.
There are very few, if any, race meet
iDgs which have the advantages
offered by the Minnesota State Fair.
This is due to the fact that no pool
selling and gambling is allowed. 1t
is well understood that horse racing
with pool selling attachments is
usually put up job, and in no sense
a reliable test of speed. The pools
determine the result and not the
merits of the animal. Every one
admires fine and speedy horse and
enjoys genuine test of speed. That
is what will be seen on the Minnesota
State Fair grounds from Sept. 9Th to
18th, as the large purses will bring
many of the noted horses of the
country to the track. There will be
races every day.

Delay in Moving Against the
Afridis Likely to Encourage
Other Tribes.
For This Purpose at Least
Twenty thousand Troops
Are Needed.
The Fall of Fort Lundi kOtal
Due to Treachery of Ma
tive Troops.

BOMBAY, Aug. 30.-The general idea
here is that if further delay occurs in
Furnishing the Afridis, for which pur-
pose at least 10000 men are required,
there will be general uprising on an
enormous scale. Between Buner and
the Indus the tribes appear to be disin-
clined to join the rebellion.
Little fresh news has been received
here from the frontie-. An attack has
been made on Shimwari in the SANTANA
range, but the attacking force was re-
pulsed.
There is considerable excitement
along the Bolen route to Quetta and the
telegraph wires have again been cut. It
is reported that tribesmen are gather
ing near the Ziaret sanitarium and
much anxiety is felt regarding the
safety of the women and children there.
A strong column of native troops and
the Royal Irish regiment with four
guns, under command of Colonel Rich
ardson has started for the relief of the
Kurum valley forts and another force
has been sent to the assistance of the
Shimwari garrison.
Treachery at Fort Lundi Kotal
1t has developed that the capture of
Fort Lundi Kotal was accomplished
through treachery and that the original
report that fight lasting two hours
took place within the walls of the
fort was unfounded. The $50 Khyber
rifles who were stationed there be-
longed to various clans and included
a number of men from the Peshawur
valley. After fighting of a desultory
nature some of the Shimwardis dropped
from the walls and fed to their
homes. The Afridis on the walls soon
began to exchange greetings with
the besiegers of the fort, whereupon
the gates were opened from the inside,
and the enemy poured in. Some of
the defenders fled, and others remained
and fraternized with the besiegers. The
Peshawurs were disarmed, six of them
were held as prisoners, and the remain.
der to the number of 80 were allowed to
90 free.
1t was this news which led to the dis
arming of portion of the garrison at
Jamerud. 1t is believed that the Khy-
Der rifles, garrisoning the forts in Khy-
Der pass, had acted in similar man.

There is more Catarrh in this section
ofthe country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. J. Cheney

but those going in now must bear in
mind that everything in that region
was staked long before any reports
reached the outer world, and that those
going in now must prospect for them
selves, buy claims from the present
owners or work for the owners. No
new strike has been reported up to the
time of my leaving and another may
not be for five years although Alaska is
an enormous country and will, be-
ieve, produce more gold than we ever
dreamed Of 1t is in many ways, a blank,
barren, desolate country-a country

during which the necessary repairs
have been made.

again is most pleasing fact in our
industrial interests.
