Bathhouse.
A dispatch just received describes most
horrible disaster, which occurred In Kre-
mentchug, Russia, in which two hundred
women have lost their lives. Krementchug
is small town on the River Dnieper, in the
Government Of Poltava.
Owing to the recent heavy rains the river
has risen to an enormous height. The
weather was almost unbearable owing to
the heat, and in consequence there was an
enormous crush at the women's bath house,
which is anchored on the river bank. Be-
fore noon over one hundred women we're in
the water, and at least four hundred others
were In the bath house.
Suddenly the river seemed to rise and
swell and In an instant the great chains
parted and the bath house was swept down
the stream. Those in the water ware

near the Soldiers graves, the Citizens
Guard were gathered about the last
resting place of the late Charles Lunt
Carter, where impressive ceremonies
were held. Capt. B. F. Dillingham;,
c. G., made the following address:
Comrades and Friends:
eve have occasion on this anniyer-
sary of mutual sympathy for special
gratitude that we are privileged to be
numbered among the vast throng of
citizens and soldiers, in the United
States of America, as we'll as the peo-
pie of these fair Isles of the Sea, who
have laid aside the perplexing cares
and absorbing duties of a busy world
10 pay loving tribute to the memory of
the dear departed Gathered around
this bright, beautiful spot, fragrant
with the perfume of sweet flowers.
stTewn by loving hands, to mark with
tender care the final resting place of
all that remains on earth of one OF
Hawaii's noblest, bravest sons; let us
draw veil, and close from mutual view

ored life of the lamented Charles L.
Carter The self-sacrificing love that
has lead the bravest, truest patriots of
upon
the altar of their country. is a monu-
meT1t which will endure when the most
elaborate and costly of earth's choicest
material shall have crumbled TO silent

ing us to rejoice in their victory over
death and the grave
The floral decorations were numer-
ods and very beautiful; most of these
were made up of wreaths, small
crosses, anchors, horseshoes and 9th
er designs. The finest piece was that
made and taken to the cemetery by
the men of the American men-of-war.
This was a float, carried by eight men.
The design was in the form of a para1-
telegram. On either side was an Am
erican flag: in front and behind was
a star and at the corners were an
chors, all made of flowers of red, white,
blue, yellow and pink. From the CEN
ter were festooned leis of various
kinds. While the exercises were going
on this float was carried through the
cemetery and the flowers therefrom
strewn on the graves of the soldiers
Another piece worth more than pass
ing mention was a large Citizens
Guard star in white carnations and
ferns. This was placed on the grave of
G. L. Carter.
Besides decorating the grave OF
Charles L. Carter, the Citizens Guard
placed floral emblems on the graves
of two deceased guardsmen, McGurn
and Smith. The grave Of Louis Whit
ing was decorated by some ladies
earlier in the day.

ADVICE FOR THE THIN GIRL.

~ iris with slender proportions
r are usually picked out by their
~ more heavily weighted friends
as persons to whom lots of advice
about increasing their avolrdupols
must be given. Probably little in
formation on this subject will be val
liable. The candidate for added flesh
should get all the sleep possible-from
nine to ten hours. In addition, a nap
in the middle of the day will help.
While mapping no stays, tight shoes or
bands must be worn. If one cannot
sleep one should lie down in a dark
ened room at least thirty minutes in
stead. In the mornings cold plunge,
or at least a cold sponge, must be TAX
en-, dashing the water on the shout
ders, neck and collarbone, drying with
a Turkish towel and avoiding heavy
clothing. A thin woman should avoid
cumbersome wraps, heavy weight
dress goods and Innings. She should
not tire herself bicycling and she
should have plenty of fresh air. Diet
deserves Il consideration. For some
drinking malt liquors is a great help,
but many cannot stand it. A diet with
an eye to acquiring flesh should con-
sist of liquids-milk, water, but not
coffee and tea; no hot breads, plenty
of butter and cheese and good cocoa.
The very thin woman should have five
meals day, should eat marmalade
and plenty of warm milk and cream.
Indeed, if warm milk is drunk before
retiring it is in itself almost sure cure
for thinness. Above all, eat slowly and
never exercise until a half hour after
meals,

THE LOST MANUSCRIPT.

Then he anxiously looked round;
"Sixthly, sixthly," he repeated
Till it seemed a mocking sound.
Fiercely did his fingers tumble
"Fifthly," "fourthly," thirdly" all,
But his lips kept muttering "Sixthly,"
And it answered not his call.
"Sixthly, brethren, as mentioned"
Then he turned the Bible Ger;
Every hair stood up in anguish,
While his two eyes swept the floor.

WASTED ENERGY.
A Good Thing the Ice Man Wasn't
There,


Across an uptown street an ice wag-
on was extended. The street was mar
row and the horses attached to the
wagon had evidently been halted at the
curb and then had turned diagonally
across the roadway. Usually these wag-
ons are manned by crew of two men,
but in this case neither man was in
sight. Presently along came a horse
and wagon with two men on the seat.
They couldn't get by because of the ice
wagon. They halted In the rear of the
obstruction and one of the men called
out:
Hi, there, get move ON you"
The Ice wagon was full of Ice and the
drivers seat was entirely concealed
from the men In the other wagon.
There was no response.
Whats the matter with your" yelled
the man; "don'tyouknow you are block
ing up the highway?
Still no response.
The vociferating man grew angry.
Say" he howled, IF you don't drive
ahead I'll take off one of your wheels"
The other man laughed. The wheels
of the Ice wagon looked as if they might
have been made for the Juggernaut car
The wheels of the other wagon were
light and shaky.
IF you don't drive ahead I'll get off
this wagon and chuck you into the gut
ter" shrieked the angry man.
Say" said the other man,. don't talk
like that. These icemen are all fighters.
He'll come back here with an textbook
and welt the heads off of u.s."
Let him come" roared the first
speaker. HE can't bluff me. Say.
there, you wretched, white-livered ice
peddler. get move on you, or I'll tram
pie all over your worthless carcass"
And even this didn't elicit response.
Then the angry man slowly got down
from the seat, and, grasping his whip
In firm grasp, cautiously circled
around by the way of the sidewalk I'M
til he could get look at the drivers
seat.
''Why, there's no one here" he called
back. Then he took the horses by the
heads and pulled them to the side of
the road.
AS he climbed back into his wagon
he said:
Its blamed lucky thing for that
driver that he wasn't there. I'd "a
beat the life out of him."
And he pulled up the horse savagely
and ratified along.
