Tornado Drills.

In the East we have fire drills in
our public schools, and on more than
one occasion they have proved to be
very effective in an emergency, but in
Kansas they have a drill of another
kind, for their tornaaoes are more to
be dreaded than fire, and school chill
dren are now being trained in tornado
drills. When the tornado strikes a
Kansas town the inhabitants at once
make for the prairie. It is almost the
only way to escape death from the
flying debris of houses, falling trees
and toppling buildings. The school
children are trained to know this, and
on these occasions rush poll nell for
the nearest bit of clear prairie; but
many children have been MANNED and
some killed in these terrible storms.
There has been movement started
throughout the State to have tornado
caves built under the school houses
large enough to accommodate all the
children while the blow lasts. The
tornado drill is very much like fire
drill. The teacher sounds the alarm
on a piano and the children stand up;
then a march is played and out they
go in good order, down the stairs and
into the tornado cave. If the entire
building falls into ruins, the children
are safe in the tornado-proof cave

RIDE IN SEDAN CHAIRS.
ANTIQUE METHOD OF CONVEYANCE
BECOMES SOClETY'S NEW FAD.
Primitive Vehicle Again to be Used in

Modern Sedan-Rich Interior Finish,

Primitive Vehicle Again to be Used in
London and New York-Men Employed
to Carry Them-Appearance of the
Modern Sedan-Rich Interior Finish.
The ultra fashionable set of Chi
cago will soon startle the pedestrians
of Lake Shore drive and Michigan
boulevard by q new fad, says the
Chicago Times-Herald. They are
about to adopt the antique and aris-
tocratic sedan chair as O means for
conveyance over short distances.
This new travelling fad has already
become quite common in London,
where the more fashionable people
have begun to indulge in the practice
to an alarming extent. They use the
sedan chair for all functions in their
immediate neighborhood, and only
hesitate on veritable State occasions to
abandon it for the brougham.
The fad soon reached New York,
where swelldom is now trying to .ac-
custom itself to the primitive novelty
of the horseless carriage. A corpora
ton has been formed and hundreds
of sedan chairs have been made to be
let out ut nominal price per hour on
much the same system as that of the
hanson cabs. The promoters of the
scheme are already reaping a harvest
from the use of the new vehicles for
evening parties. Small dances,
receptions, dinners and all functions
of q purely private and exclusive ma
ture.
Between the conspiracies of the
fashionable world and the wheeling
world the poor horse seems to be in
the decline of his popularity. All the
universe seems to be contriving to push
him out of usefulness. For the sedan
chairs are to be carried by grooms,
footman or equerries, whichever term
the society woman chooses to apply to
her servants OF the chair. Each will
be propelled by the strength of four
men. 1t seems like the revival Of o
barbaric, medieval habit, when human
beings assume again the duties of O
pack horse.
But the sedan is extremely light in
weight, and the burden, divided be-
tween four, is said to be not so trying
as one would presume. The men

merit of adding simplicity to that first
essential, and it is especially to be
commended for summer wear. The
material may be cambria, muslin,
nainsook or long cloth. For the model
the last-named material was chosen,
trimmed With frills of linen lawn, lace
edged.
The pattern is cut in three pieces
only-front, back and sleeve. Such
fitting as is necessary is accomplished
by the shoulder and under-arm seams.
At the neck the fulness is carefully
gauged and sewed to band. The
opening at the left side is finished

material of the gown and edged around
with frill of lace OF accordion-plaited
frills of chiffon, are the finish to lace
bodice. Checked silks are pretty
when made up in this way, but the
lace bodice is equally effective with
any of the thin materials. To be quite
perfect it must have chiffon lining
between the tight-itting silk waist and
the lace. Pouched body is the special
style suited to this material, and is the
leading model in all the fabrics. Cloth
md pique are made up in this way and
elaborately trimmed with lace. bands
of satin, or. braid in conventional de-
signs.
One little accessory of dress which
lis very fetching is the necktie, of net
silk, or null, with lace ends, which
folds narrowly around the lower edge
of the collar band, and ties in front in
a four-in-hand knot; again it appears
as a short bow made of two accordion
plated ends. Two shades of green
taheta silk cut bics and narrowly
trimmed all around form the four-in-
hand knot on a green and blue and
white foulard silk gown, which has q
lace yoke and a chiffon front. The
fulness in the bodice is shirred over
five fl cords an inch apart at the
waist to form the belt, and the skirt
has two tiny rufles at the bottom,
edged with half-inch black satin rib
bon gathered in the middle. A special
feature of this costume is the parasol
of silk to match, trimmed with three
white chiffon ruflles set on with q
space of their own width between.-

Ge my lady's own dainty satin toilet.
Pr she will not call out her equerriea
and her sedan except when she is
about to go abroad in evening dress.
The hired sedans in New York are
not fitted cut on such an elaborate
scale, of course, but, nevertheless, the
use of them is reserved by the month
for fashionable women who are sure
that no enc else Is allowed to travel in
them. The interior of the chairs are
thus kept perfectly clean and dustless.
Consequently the long, marvellous
evening wraps of shimmering white
are not contaminated and soiled by
contact with the vehicle.
The private sedan chair is going to
be an expensive luxury, for the orig
inal cost, not to speak of that of the
maintenance of the vehicle and the
servants, is by no means small. The
body or frame of the sedan costs but
little. Several hundred cheap sedans
were made by o local carriage manu-
facturer for use on the Midway during
the fair at $50 apiece. But they were
covered only with canvas and lined
with chintz. The new sedan, with its
elaborate interior trimmings and ex-
terror appurtenances, will cost from
$500 to $500, tidy sum for mere
whim.
Unfortunately for those women who
possess elaborate gilt sedans, they
cannot put them to this practicable
use. Some beautiful relics of the
olden time have been used, however,
for decorative purposes, and main
tanned their usefulness we'll as bric-a-
brac cabinets for little antiquities in
porcelain, brass and silver. Or they
have served as chests for old linen,
laces and brocades. Nearly all of the
sedan chair made in 1898 for the Mid
way are scattered throughout the city
in the homes of curio collectors. Sew
eral society women succeeded in get
ting the unlovely things, rather soiled
after contact with the rabble of the
Midway, and then having them recov-
cred and decorated, they exhibit them
with pardonable pride and vainly as
the real Eastern palanquin. One
woman is now using her sedan chair as
decoration for her lawn, after having
filled it with profusion of rare trail
ing vines and beautiful blossoms.

The most phenomenal occurrence
was at the corner of School and Med
ford streets, where the cover of the
manhole was lifted up and carried
from its position. This was caused
by the upward pressure of the water
in the manhole, the water pouring
down from the slopes of Winter Hill
and exerting tremendous lifting
power as it filed the sewer and the
manhole. The iron cover which was
displaced by the water weighs 220
pounds. It was discovered by one of
the employees of the sewer depart
ment and put back. into position.
Then he added his own weight to the
top of it and held it there till the

Final Agreement of the Combined
Opposition I'm the Matter.
The final agreement among democrats,
silver republicans and populists in the
Senate looking to a permanent coalition
was reached at a meeting of representa-
tives of those parties held in Senator Cor
mans committee room at the Capitol to-
day.
There were present at the meeting:
I:emocrats-Senators German Cockrell. Wal
thall. Jones of Arkansas and Murphy: sill
YER republicans Sena ators Cannon and Man
tie; popuiists, Senators Allen and Petit
grew.
1t was decided that the combinatio
should hold out for the assignment of all
the places committees heretofore held
by democrats. while it was agreed that the
republicans should have the places hither-
to filled by republicans. This will give the
republicans all the committee chairman
ships vacated by the retirements of Sen
ators Cameron. Sherman, Dubois. Squire.
Mitchell of Oregon ard Brown, but it will
give the combination about seventy va
cancies. while il allows the republicans
only about thirty.
If the republicans accept the terms which
the combination will attempt to dictate
the republicans will name d man to sue
ceed Senator Sherman. while the silver
combination will name Senator Voorhees,
successor. This will insure the continued
preponderance of silver men on the finance
committee, while it will not interfere with
the republican program on the tariff.
