Mons. Roberto, Of balloon ascension and
parachute fame, now seeks prominence by
resorting to law. Through the refusal of the
management of the Independent Social Club
to pay him the stipulated contract price for
two ascensions at Columbia park last Satur-
day which he failed to fulfill, he has brought
a charge against some of the members for
selling liquor without a license at their
picnic. The warrant was sworn out before
Justice Toomey yesterday. The club mem
bers waived hearing and entered $500 bail
for their appearance at court.

These, indeed, are the nationalities OF a

A shipment of mastache-cups to the
island of Yesso, one oi the northern islands
of the japanese group, might turn out
profitable investment. 1t has Just been
d iscovered that the women of that extra
ordinary place share with men the posses
sion of hirsute ajornment OF the upper
lip. A. II. KiabVkowski, an exploring
genius sent out hs the Comm ercial Geo.
graphical Society OF France, is the dis
closer of this remarkable information.
No such race has ever before been known
to the wise ones of the earth, wherefore
the discovery made by the gentleman with
the unpronounceable name has aroused no
lutte excitement among the wise ones
aforesaid, as we'll as interest among the
people in general, to whom the spectacle
of woman with a mustache is never
looked for outside of a circus, and is a
curiosity even in a tent with a 10-cent ad-
mission fee attached. In the island OF
Yesso a woman without mustache would
on discovery. probably be tented forth
with and reserved for the natives to view
on payment of an OK, or some other handy
form of currency. for the privilege.
The Klabukowski person affirms, upon
his professional inveracity as all explorer
and historian, that the mustache is the
dlsting uishing mark which makes these
native women of Yesso different from the
women OF any other race on the globe.
The nation of Yesso has been known to
exist bv other explorers, who have had
the provldent happiness of exploring it
from their study window in a New York
or London tenement-house, but the cir
cum stance of the women being so strangely
marked has been withheld from their
keen observation by some unfavorable in
tervention-possibly the distance.
KIabukowski departed from the habits
of the profession to the unique extent of
being present himself personally in his
explorations, and of witnessing with his
own eyes the marvellous things which
were set down in books as his discoveries,
even though he did thereafter return to
the conventional path by declaring in
print that his discoveries were true. The
only thing unconventional al about that was
that they were true, indeed.
The people of this remote island have
long been down on this map under the
name of the Aino race.
Report has it that only one white man
has ever been close enough to obtain
relia bic Information concerning them, and
this white man (kIabukowskD relates a
wonderful and unusual story. He reports
that these women are massive in APPEAR
ance, and, in fact, appear to better physi-
cal advantage than the men. They have
high cheek bones, and are distinctly Cau-
casian They do not have that ghastly
yellowish com plexion charac ters tic of the
Chinese and Japanese, but rather bear
every appearance of white women who
have lived much in the open air. Their
