PAID WITH"ONERED ROSE'
The Pretty Festival Annually observ-
ed at Mannheim, Pa.

Mannheim, Pa, June 1.-THE Feast
of Roses an annual festival here. was
celebrated today with unusual elab-
Orateness.
The custom origina ted in a pretty lit
tie conceit of Baron Henry Wilva-
Steigel, the founder of the town. He
gave it the name of his birthplace.
Mannheim, Germany, but eventually
the second m in the name was drop
ped. He was quite wealthy and some
what eccentric.
On December 4, 1772. the baron deed
ed to lions Evangelical congregation
ground upon which to rebuild it's
church. which had just been burned.
The consideration mentioned in the
deed was five shillings and the annual
payment of lone red rose in the month
Of June forever, if lawfully demanded -
Only twice did the baron personally de-
mand and receive the rose-in 1893 and
1894.
The pretty ceremony has been an
nually observed as a pretty memorial
the recipient being descendant of the
baron.

FIGHT THE THREADTRUST
Americans to Erect Mills in Scotland,
it is Said

Glasgow, June lit is said that an
American syndicate has completed ar
engagements whereby it will shortly be
at Paisley to compete with the thread
mills of J. & P. Coats & Co. 1t is gen
orally admitted that the high prices
now prevailing would offer a tempt
ing inducement to such an enterprise,
but the opinion of those best qualified
to judge is that the project would be
venturesome owing to the wide con-
nectiOn now enjoyed by the thread
manufacturers of Paisley.
If an opposition to the thread monop-
oily were threatened, it is thought that
the Americans would be more likely to
begin operations at home, for it is
known that arrangements are almost
completed for a thread agency here to
absorb the Willimantic. Conn, mills.
AS the Mile End Spool company's works
were acquired some time ago, there is
now only one important mill on the
other side.

eeORANGE BLOSSOMS up.
Supreme Court of New York Listens
to Arguments in the Case Against
Theatrical Manager Doris.

Saratoga, N Y, June 17.-In the court
of appeals this morning again came to
public view the famous Orange Bios
sons case. which gained so much no.
tortety over a year ago.
This was the case in which the sensa-
tional actress, Pillar NORM, educated in
converts in Spain and France, gained so
much unenviable nOtoriety. Under the
management of ]. B. Doris of the Gaiety
theater, New York city, she appeared in
'Orange Blossoms" which shocked the
metropolis. On May IA, 1896, Doris was
arrested on the charge of unlawfully main
tanning a public nuisance He was tried
before the court of special sessions in that
city and judgment found against him. The
appellate division of the supreme court
affirmed the verdict of the lower court
Doris then carried the case to the court
of appeals, which today heard the argu-
ments, but it is not known how soon
decision will be reached. The accusation
against Doris was that he maintained a
theatrical performance called Orange
Blossoms in which Pillar NORM disrobed
on the stage before the public.

NO PRAYERS FOR QUEEN.
They Will Not be Allowed in the Kan
sas City Catholic Churches.

Kansas City. June 17-'"There shall
be no prayers for Queen Victoria in the
Catholic churches of Kansas City, or
of this diocese. I shall not only order
that such prayers be not offered, but l
shall prohibit them
This was the response that the Right
Rev. J. J. Glennon, Bishop Coadjutor of
Kansas City, made to Philip E. Bur-
rough, British vice consul, and Rev w.
P. George, of the Westminster PreSby-
terrain church, when they called on him
to secure his cooperation and that of
Bishop Hogan in the local celebration
in honor of the English Queens dia-
mOnd jubilee. They were a committee
from the Kansas City Diamond Jubilee
association, and they had been sent to
offer $500 to st. Joseph's hospital from
the Memorial AssOciat ton fund which
the association is raising.
There is reason to believe that the
Bishops response voiced the sentiments
of a great many former British subjects
in this city. At yesterdays meeting of
the central council of Irish American
societies, one of the delegates offered a
resolution calling for solemn high
mass on jubilee day for the souls of the
thousands who have died of starva ton
as the result of English oppression dur
ing the reign of Queen Victoria. Though
the resolution was not acted upon there
were a great many present who per-
SOnally Endorsed its spirit.

SOCIETY GIRLS PATENT.
Miss Kate Van Rensselaer, Berry Has
Invented q Combination Rainy
Day and Bicycle Skirt.

Washington, June 17.-Miss Kate Van
Rensselaer, Berry of Washington, and
cousin of Mrs. Van Renssela- r Crug T
Julian Gordon''-has just entered
the list of women inventors with a pat
ent that will not only appeal to the
smart set of which she has been for
years a prominent member but that
will as we'll be of peculiar interest to
women at large throughout the coun-
try.
This is the invention of a rainy day
and bicycle skirt combined. AS worn
ordinarily it has the appearance of a
stylish skirt such as would be used for
a shopping expedition. The secret of
expansion and contraction in this new
patent lies in a cunningly concealed
set of hooks and eyes, which, used in
conjunction with a drawing string
about the waist, effect the various evo-
lutiOns by which the garment serves in
the triple capacities of fair weather,
rainy weather and bicycle skirt
The skirt is fashioned with a yoke
trimmed with numerous rows of braid
after the prevalent mode. Beneath
this is another yoke of cotton material
to which the hooks, eyes and drawing
string are attached.
Miss Berry is a talented woman. and
some dozen years since wrote in con-
junction with the late Mr.. FIeIyiar of
the British embassy society novel
that was pronounced at the time to be
very clever.

WHO OWNS THE HORSES?
A Difficult Problem for the Roundup
on Laramie Plains to Handle.

Laramie, Wyo., June 1.-THE first
horse round up held In Albany county
in five years QUILTED and left this city
EhiS morning.
The ground to be covered by the rid
ers take in the range between the Big
and Little Laramie rivers and extends
and south.
It is expected there will be trouble
in completing the work from the fact
that SO long a time has been allowed to
elapse since the last counting was
made.
On the plains today are hundreds of
colts that have never been branded
Their owners, in consequence of the
StagnatiOn in the horse market, have
been paying little attention to their
range stock, and as there are many
small growers in this section who have
plains for several years rasJ the diff
Guilty in perfecting a sa tisfactOry round

RIGHT TO WITHHOLD MAIL
Judge Barr Hands Down an Impor-
tant Decision.

Frankfort KY. June 17-Judge Barr
of the federal court, rendered a decision
today which is of vast Importance to
the mail department of the United
States.
The decision came on a motion in the
ca Sc of Hoover VS.. Postma ster McChes-
ney, of Lexington. Hoover asked for
an order restraining the postma ST er
from Withholding mail, his company
having been refused the use of the
mails by order of the postmaster gen
eral on the ground that it was a fraud
ulent concern Judge Barr, an a vOlurni-
nous opinion. holds that the order of the
postmaster general is valid so far as it
relates to Withholding of mail to the al
legged fra udulent concern, but is invalid
so FIR IS it relates to Hoover's personal
mail. Hoover has suit for $50. 900
damages against Postmaster McChes-
ney pending. but the deduction from
Judge Rarr's oTigion is that the post

TO DREDGE CHICAGO RIVER
Drainage Trustees GIVE the Contract
Marine Men Fear a Swift
Current

Chicago. June 17.-Dredging the chan
mel of the Chicago river by the drainage
trustees will be begun this week if the
survey which was commenced this
morning is completed. The work is to
be done by Lydon & Drews, the dredg-
ing contra ctors
The work will be begun at the drain
age canal end at RObey street, and will
proceed toward the mouth, a distance
of 10000 feet. The first section of the
work will be from Robey street to Ash
land avenue, a distance of half a mile.
The river viii be dredged to a depth of
twenty-five and one-half feet at Robey
street and to the depth of 20 feet at the
mouth, making fall in grade of two
and one-half feet in six miles.
Fear is entertained by marine men
that heavy current in the river will
prove dangerous to navigation. They
say boats in passing will dam the chan
rel and then become unmanag ea BILE in
the rush of water.

MUSTN'T WEAR BIRDS.
New Jersey Makes the Freak of Fash
ION Penal Ofense

which was signed by Gov Wolcott just
before the Propagation of the legisla-
ture is aimed against the destruction of
insect killing birds for millinery pur-
poses.
1t makes the mere possession of the
skin or feathers of any bird which is
now protected by the law punishable
by the same penalty as has hitherto
been imposed for killing the birds. The
bill was opposed as an Interference
with business and as exposing women
to punishment for wearing feathers
which they have now; but a large ma
jority voted for the bill on the ground
that the destruction of these birds has
resulted in a vast increase of Vegeta-
ton eating insects, causing much pecu-
mary loss, wholly aside from questions
of cruelty or fashion.

AMONG RAILROAD men.
About 1000 Tickets Have Been
Sold for the Picnic
Given by the Santa Fe Saturday
TO Run Two Trains.
Big List of Attractions Prepared al
Washington Park-Dr. Raster
in Denver.

The biggest day in the year for the
employees of the Santa Fe shops in this
city and their families is nearly at
hand. On Saturday the annual picnic
of the shop men will be held at Wash
ington park, Kansas City.
1t will be one of the most largely at
tended picnics that the Santa Fe shop
men of Topeka have ever held. In the
neighborhood of 1900 tickets have all
ready been sold, and by tomorrow night
this number may be swelled to 1000.
Two special trains have already been
arranged for, and possibly a third will
have to be supplied to take the excur-
SiOniStS to Kansas City. The nrSt tram
will leave the Santa Fee depot on sat
urday morning at 6 o'clock, and the
second train will follow at 6:30 o'clock
If a third train IS run it will probably
leave fifteen minutes later than the
second. Returning, the train Will
leave the Union depot in Kansas City
at o'clock Saturday evening and the
second train two hours later, at s
o'clock
The fare for the round trip will be
( IS cents. The employees made an ef-
fort to secure a fare of so cents for the
round trip, but after consideration the
anagement decided that a so cent
fare would not be sufficient to cover
the expense of running the trains. Last
year the employees picnicked at Lake
Contrary, five miles out of st. Joseph,
No. and a round trip fare of 70 cents
was paid.
The Santa Fe shop employees have not
picnicked at Kansas City for several
years. This year Kansas City and
LeavenWOrth were considered by the
committee appointed to arrange the at
fair and the inducements offered by the
mauage ment of Washington park,
Kansas City. were so much better than
the inducements held out by the man
agement Of Maple park, Leavenworth,
that the committee at once d cided up
On Kansas City.
a splendid athletic programme has

and numerous attractions of various

sionists. TIL picnic promises to be a
vary enjoyable event for the Topeka
shop men and their families.

FACE ON A TOMBSTONE.
People of Seabrook, N. H, Excited
Over a Peculiar Phenomenon.

Seabrook N. H. June ia face has
been seen on the gravestone which marks
the last resting place of the late Eliza
Dow in the Elmwood cemetery here. This
is the second case of the kind This
strange face was seen on a monument in
the cemetery lot of a former prominent
citizen last year
Several who saw the face say that it
resembled that of his wife, who is dead.
Crowds of people focked to see it from
the neighboring towns and many are now
going to see the new apparition. The
doubters say the face is only due to the
peculiar streak in the granite. Others
say it is a peculiar phenomenon, and the
spiritualists point to it with satisfaction.
