Properly speaking. there are no dog

there ie a marked change in the trim

are narrower than formerly and made

Besides these custom made gar

but when he proposed TO give the minis-
ter $5 fee the bride insisted that fee
of rs cents was proper, and suggested
that they would give the minister some
of their produce in the spring in lieu OF
the rest of the wedding fee.
The couple spent the night in the vii

discovered that their room had been en-
tered and his money stolen. The viii
layers sympathized with them, and a
purse of $3.50 was raised for them. The
bride, after wiping away her tears. pro-
posed that she and her husband should
walk to their hmoe twenty-four miles
away. He consented.
On the way home he lost the wedding
certificate. Leaving his wife he went
back to find 1t. and did not return for
several hours. Then the couple resumed
their journey. When they got home they
were both footsore and weary, but glee-

Nine. Salvador Patti, Adelina's moth

daughter to my rooms one day. (This
was in New York; Bottesini and were
highly amused to see the air of import
ance with which the tiny songstress first
selected a comfortable seat for her doll
in such proximity that she was able to
see her while singing. and then, having
said, La ma bonnie petite, attende que
ia Maman te chante quelque chose de
jolie." she demurely placed her music
on the piano and asked me to accom-
pany her In the rondo of "Sonnumbula." :"
How am to give an adequate descrip-
tion of the effect which that child's MI
raculous notes produced upon our en-
chanted senses? Perhaps II I say that

forgotten impression her voice made
when 1t stirred our innermost feelings,
that may, in some slight measure, con-
vince my readers of the extraordinary
vocal power and beauty of which little

ministration of President Cleveland,
the pen of the historian will linger low
ingly over one member of his house
hold, who has touched our hearts and
caused them to throb with tenderness
at the mention of her name. This Is the
radiant personality of Mrs. Frances
Folsom Cleveland, gracious woman,
who has twined herself around our af-
fections, of whom we speak in words of
admiration. Among the memories OF the
White House there will be none sweet
er or more tender than the period when
Mrs. Clevland was its bloved mistress.
Entering its portals as bride, fair
young girl, without the training or
experience in the demands of public life,
she has filled the exacting position with
high-bred courtesy and dignified SIM
plicity, and the charming grace that no
other woman of the executive mansion
has ever excelled. She has so impressed
the social life of the capital that one
turns to her instinctively as the true
American woman whose life Is singular
in the beauty of its purity, the posses
sor of every virtue, the loyal wife, the
fond mother. We are all proud of her
as one of the best and sweetest of Our
representatives.
Wherever she is, she will have the
blessings of the people, who wish her
every happiness, with the hope that her
future Will be one long, bright day of
happiness in the love she inspires as
noble woman.-Omaha World Herald.

women are besought to teach
them all the little intricacies that cius-
ter about the concoction of savory dam
ties or the grilling of ones outlet, to
plagiarize well known saying. TO the
princes taste"
The method Of cooking adopted by
these young men is said to be well worth
observation. Every hostess who gives a
grilling party now keeps on hand for
her gentlemen guests a supply OF long
white aprons. These aprons are not tied
about the waist as with the young
women but the strings encircie the neck
OF the gentlemen and thus preserve the
evening suit from grease spots aud
other evidences of top close familiarity
with those things which delight the ap-
petite and cleave to broadcloth when
opportunity offers. The spectacle Of
half a dozen young men circulating
about several chafing dishes is in ITSELF
sight of interest, but with the apron
attachment the young men assume an
which is positively pictur-
esque.
The mothers with maria geable
daughters enthusiastically approve OF
the methods innugurated by the prince.
Familiarity may breed contempt, but II
also occasionally breeds marriage, and
thus the fashionable mamma sees and
rejoices at a popular fad which helps
along her matchmaking in wonderful
degree The Prince of Wales and chat
ing dish are strongly entrencehed for all
time in the esteem of the matchmak-
err of modern society.

who has afforded the relief FROM the
ennui which has seized upon society.
And so 1t is that after the theater, fash
ion no longer fiocks to the restaurants
and gratifies its taste with the delicacies
prepared by the becapped and aproned
monsieur. but instead HES itself to Its
home and there is its own chef. The
social mind is turned toward the inven-
tion of fanciful new dishes just as strong
ly as the mind of the late Ward McAllis-
ter had its bent In the direction of social
exclusiveness The little cosy suppers
remind us not little of those impromp-
tn repasts that the men often ejoyed
in the dormitories when they were in
college 1t Is the practical application
of the great chatting dish principle. and
In reality, with the present style of pre-
PAIRING and serving suppers, the dining
room OF a fashionable hostess Is convert
ed into a species of high art restaurant.

cry to see the dining room door Of their
hostess mansion open upon scene so
cosy and inviting that 1t would cheer
the soul of the most unapprecfative and
misanthropic.
OF course 1t is no new thing for fash
icnable persons to invite their friends
to their homes after the opera and the
ater, and some sort of refreshn,ent was

however light enough. There was gen.

royalty has long had penchant fer pre-
pairing savort dishes. but this is the
first time that a male in whom royal
blood flows has entered the lists to COM
pete with them. Again do the prince
and the pretty girl stand side by side.
1t all came about through a gridiron
party given by Mrs. Duncombe, ia
vorite Of the prince, very pretty and
equally original The prince was in at
tendance at Mrs. Duncombes party,
and the interest he exhibited has re-
suited in the state of affairs as described.
1t was the first time in the history of
this scion of royalty that he ever grilled
his own outlet, and the novel proceed
ing affored him no little enjoyment. The
chatting dish was, of course, the utensil
that performed ali the feats that usual
ly fall to the lot of the range, and the
gastronomic problems that it solved
are declared to have beeen stupendous.
The chafng dish has often been held
to be only useful fer preparing dainty
dishes which, while they may crafty.
will not appease the appetite. Mrs.
Duncombe's party proved that it was
not the case at ALL
What has been the result Of all this?
Why, the chafing dish has achieved a
popularity that nobody ever dreamed it
to possess. The dining-room of the
fashionable mansion has become the grill
room. Mingled with the dainty odors
that cling to the social portion of the
establishment are those delicate olfac-
tory pleasures which linger about the
chafing dish. In other days it has been
held to be"the' height of i'll bree ding for
an odor that in any way called to mind
the kitchen to penetrate the sacred pre-
cincts of the drawing-room or the bou-
doir. Now all is changed. The fash
ionable is what formerly was the un-
fashionable If the scent of the kitchen
clings to the society girl, she is consid-
cred thoroughly up to date
These gatherings at which the chaf1ng
dish plays the principal role have be-
come the fashionable fad of the day.
There was danger of a relaxation In the
popularity of the social culinary article,
but now that danger has taken wings a.
the sight of royal opposition. Formerly
1t was the feature of the evening party
sonnet times. More often, the lunch was
the event that reigned supreme. Now.
however. all is different. Society must
have its fad for. to the gay butterflies
of fashion, fads occupy the void which.
In the lives of ordinary men and women,
is amply filled by the daily struggle for
existence And so, some kind of stimu-
liant Is necessary to make life at al,
worth the living.
Just at present it is the prince Of Wales

greets the eye. Instead, three or four
steaming chatting dishes await the re-
turning revelers, their savory contents
covered by great silver heaters, and the
blue flames of their double power alco-
lol lamps shedding a CHEEKY glory upon
the scene.
Sometimes, in the very swell houses,
even despite the example set by the
prince. the chafing dishes are presided
over by French chef and his spruce
linen-clad acolytes. Such instances,
however, are rare. In the best society
It Is the hostess herself who prepares
the various dainties. She has, as aides,
the pretty girls among her guests and
these are always eager to display their
practical acquaintance with the culi-
rary art before their enchanted bachelor
friends.
The utensils used for these chafing
dish banquets are frequently of silver,
and each guest furnishes himself with
plates knives and spoons from the
supplies on the buffet, and then serves
himself as we'll from the steaming chat
ing dish, because the assistance of ser
wants Is. by general consent, tabooed.
Some hostesses pride themselves on
special recipes for Welsh rarebit and
the buck varieties, while others pin their
faith to wonderful concoctions of lob
ster and appetizing messe's of oysters;
Duu Whatever dlsheS may be cooked and
eaten at these delightfully."- informal lit
tie feasts, there can be no doubt that
their slightly Bohemian flavor adds
greatly to their piquant charm Take
this piquancy and add thereto the en-
dorsement of the Prince of Wales, and
what more could a society devotee ask.
The adoption of the chafing dish by the
prince has had it's effect on the Anglo
'maniacs of the United States and those
who lead In the demons trations of An
glophobia are already planning various
sorts of chafing dish festivities. 1t
seems probable that the fad will have
even a greater run in the United States
than in England. for while it is not ex-
actly a novelty, it is at least more fash
ionable than 1t used to be. Then, too,
such endorsement as it has received on
the other side will lead many persons II

sidered it exactly the thing to do COR
various reasons.
One of the oldest results Of the Prince
Of Wales new departure is the sudden
mania for solving the mysteries of the
chahng dish which has seized ON the
young men of society. Previous to the
present time most of these gentlemen
have considered 1t a matter apart for
the women to- manipulate the chatting
dish. Now, however, their mothers or

possible TO get any kind of fit unless

often blankets have to be fitted when

wipe It away. 1t was one Of those quiet,
lonesome nights that forces the police
reporter to do good deal of hard work
to find any item of news worthy of send
ing to the Office for publication. I had
just left the central police headquarters,
where most of my cO-workers were en-
gagged in the seductive game of penny
ante" and had reached the corner of
Clark and Madison streets, when a man,
apparently inebria ted, staggered against
me. AS I jumped to one side, the man
fell headlong to the pavement. A cab
bic" ran up, and together we carried the
PROSTATE form into Dale's drug store,
only a few steps away. The man was
speechless and died in few moments,
with me holding his head, while the drug
gst was preparing some kind of antidote
for poison. It developed afterward that
he had eaten the greater portion of
box of Rough on Rats" and was try
ing to reach the drug store in front Of
which he had fallen. Even now I can
see those CLASSY eyes and hear the death
rattles as he was breathing his last.
Before hardly had time to write the
simple facts of that ordinary suicide the
whole gang" of reporters were notified
that another suicide had been commit
ted on Larrabee street We divided our
selves into pairs, jumped into cabs and

/ THE POLICE Reporters DETAIL !;

Night police reporters on the city DALI
les have more and better opportunities
for seeing the dark side of life than any
other class of people. unless 1t be the
members of the police force themselves.
But the policeman seldom stops long
enough to get a thorough insight of the
places his duty calls him to. With him
it IL a hurried arrest or the removal of
the remains Of some poor wretch who has
been wounded or killed, or. perhaps, the
suicide. The police reporter must linger
behind and gather all the facts and give
a complete pen picture of all the sur
roundings. Sometimes they are so re-
voting as to preclude their publication,
but he must procure them. nevertheless,
and submit the facts to the city editor or
managing editor before beginning his
story for the morning paper.
For nearly five long years my daily
bread was earned in depicting the acci-
dents. crimes. vices, murders. arsons,
fres and suicides in the city of Chicago.
and though that was long years ago, still
some of those awful sights are as plain
to my mind now as they were the night
first saw them. One nights work in
particular is stamped SO indelibly on my
memory that nothing but death can ever
