by Miss Grace Temple.

Mrs. Cleveland has intrusted the decora.
ton Of the interior of her new house ut
Princeton TO Miss Grace Lincoln Temple,
who * perhaps best known as the decorator
OF the woman's s building at the Atlanta ex-
position, though many handsome houses in
Washington and elsewhere owe their artis-
tic interiors to- her.
Miss Temple has just returned from
Princeton, whittier she went to supcrlr-
tend the beginning of her work.
Exceeding simplicity is TO characterize
the decoration of tho Cleveland home The
exterior is to remain almost exactly as IL
always has been, except for q window or
two opened in the walls, another window
or two closed, and vcranda covered with
glass To form "A conservatory. The house Ia
colonial i'm style, and the interior will be
treated i'm the fashion of that period. Tho
woodwork throughSft is TO be painted
white, and tho decorations arc artlstically
simple.
Mrs. Cleveland has an unusually fine
collection OF antique furniture, much OF IL
now at Woodlcy, which will BE- I'm perfect
harmony with the decorative scheme of the
Princeton house. The house is TO DO ready
for occupancy by the LIST of March.--Chi-

killed by the patrolss oldman Rudolphe

the patrol went TO arrest him. AS the
troops entered the house, his eldest son
attempted TO leave by a side door but
an outside sentinel shot him dead. This
made the other two sons crazy with fury.
and they attacked the soldiers with dag
gers, but we're shot. Old Rudolphe was
then killed by machetes. Mrs. Rudolphe
and the two girls were then seized and
tied to the furniture in the room. The
girls were stripped and subjected TO va
K.ous indignities all night. In the morn

dead, was released for a moment. She
seized knife from the table and before
she could be restrained, stabbed two OF
the soldiers and wounded the officer in

DARLINGTON BOOTHS PLAN.
Training Schools Established-Graduat
VIII BE Regularly Ordained Ministers.

New plans of Ballington Booth of the
Volunteers Of America have matured to
the extent that at council held at the
headquarters in New York three training
schools were established and courses OF
study mapped out. The schools will be at
San Francisco, Chicago and New York
and will have IA three years course of study,
which will begin with English grammar
and end with Thomas Kempis
The graduates will become regularly or
dained ministers and will be authorized to
administer the sacramcnts. BY this means,
Commander Booth says, his eeganization
will be nearer TO the heart of the American
people than the Army, which never insist
ed on the communion. The course of study
was mapped out by j. w. Merrill, who
says that in theology the Volunteers will
stand half way between the Episcopalians
and tho Mcthodists and that the church
service, which will be inaugurated with
the ordination of ministers, will be broad
enough for any Christian.

life and described visit 90 heaven. AL
though she had good eyesight before appar-
emily dying, she was totally blind after

nutely all photographs placed in her hands
She says she recognized many dead friends
while apparently dead herself. Each wore
a crown, and when she asked for ono she
was told she had mission toperform and
must return to life again.

10 $1,000, and, after a discussion of an
hour. In which local politics played an
Important part, the amendment was re-
jected by close vote OF IL to lG against

The house discussed bill appropriat-

present system, the state is making but
1-i09th part of the shoes made in the
commonwealth. Mr.. T. keenan, of Bos-
ton seriously objected to Mr.. Georges y

ton and Mr.. Waterman OF Wakefield
both opposed an amendment offered by
Mr.. George. which provides that the
work at the prisons, il carried on, shall

AS curious letter as has been received
In Kansas City for many months reached
the postoffice the other morning, and after
a great display Of learning on the part OF
some of the clerks IL was finally delivered
20 the man for whom IL was intended. The
distributing clerk, who first got hold Of
the letter, looked at 1t In despair. 1t was
plainly evident that the writer Of the letter
had been burning the midnight oil in an
attempt to baffie the postofilce force.
The first line contained the letters ~. s.
FE2O3" The letters were plain enough,
but what did they mean9 The next line
began with.a large A, then there was a
carefully executed drawing OF what had
the appearance of BARRIERS comb, then
small a, and finally representation of u
house, drawn by one whose early education
had been sadly neglected.
What should have been the third line OF
the address was in the shape of more or
less accurate nap of Kansas City, showing
the junction and the streets In that yicin-
ry. The last line was another map, show
ing the boundaries of the state OF Missouri.
1t was plain enough that the letter was
for some one who lived In the state OF Mis-
souri, and in Kansas City. 1t did not take
a great stretch of imagination to discover
that the comb and the sketch of house
had some vague reference TO the Acoina
building. So far 10 was easy sailing. But
who was the mysterious -. S. FE2O3y"
After puzzling his brain for long time,
without any good result, the clerk took tho
letter TO Mike Clerk Garfield, who is sup
posed to be able TO guess all sorts OF con-
undrums.
81 can tell you a part of it," said he. II
can tell you that FE2O3' are the chemical
symbols for ferric oxide. Now If you can
find out who he is you arc all right
Still the distributing clerk was unable
to solve the question. He went about ask
ing every one what he knew about ferric
oxide He 1Ic.lly encountered one man
who was more of a chemist than the 9TH
ers, and he impaired to him the informa-
ton that ferric oxide in common parlance
Is called trust" F"
