FRONTIER DAY AT CHEYENNE,
Exciting Scenes of the Early Days to BE
Rc-Enncted the 23rd.

Ne.Enhcteu on tnc -Srus
Cheyenne. wyo.. Sept. 13.-In the old
frontier days. before railroads had
reached Cheyenne. hanging bees were
n very common entertainment. given
for the benefit of objectionable citizens
in the territory of Wyoming. Another
fashionable pastime was that of hold
ing up the government coaches: this
was done more as a source of revenue
by bandits. and not unfrequently re-
suited In the vigilants holding n social
meeting and making an example of
those caught in the holdups.
At Wyoming Frontier Day Mt Chey-
ennc, September 23rd. 1t is proposed to
give an exhibition of the stage coach
lioldup and vigilan,s' work. also many
other interesting features of the early
life in Wyoming. 1t is also Intended to
give n wild horse race one-half mile: :
stake race $50 yards; COW pony race
one-Quartcr mile. COW pony heat race
one-dalf mile. free for all. one mile I;
COW pony race two miles; worst buck
ing broncho produced: roping wild
steers: quickest roped and hog tied.
Wild horse race is for horses that have
never been saddled or bridled. The
event in which the meanest. widest and
most untnmable horses are to be assem-
blcd and their wickedness tested by
attempts to ride them will be an eXcit-
ing affair. The cow pony races will
exhibit some of them ost brilliant feats
of horsemanship.
Arrangements have been made for n
special train from this place. and an
| entertainment given that but very few
Of our citizens have ever had an oppor-
tunity to witness.

400 for and 317 against accepting the
terms of settlement, and eleven votes
were not cast.
The delegates Of Illinois, who had 30
votes, were unanimously against II set

mra. McKinlev,s Corn Hat.

Among the curiosities that Mrs. Mo. Kinley has just added to the White House museum is hat made entirely of corn. The hat was sent to the presi- dents wife from Atchison, Kan. where it figured in the great corn carnival which takes place annually in that city to celebrate the success of the season s yield. The hat was voted the most unique and dainty production of the corn festival It was designed and made by Mrs. H. J. Gusaek of Atebison. So tasteful and original have been Mrs Cusaek s productions ill corn costumes that her delighted townspeople have dubbed her the ''eorn milliner of Kan sas. !" The most peculiar feature of the corn hat is that the corn, having been treated by some special preparation, shines like ivory and makes most at tractive headdress. Worn at night, it would cause @ sensation as one of the prottiest and most striking hats ever devised, and few would guess that the wonderful and costly looking head oov- ering was made of corn husks, St. Louis Globe Democrat.

One More Outlet.

A New York veterinary surgeon has announced that he would gladly give a capable woman constant work as an as. sistant i'll his treatment for injured and ailing horses. Still there are few if any cases ill this country where graduated women can be found to do work among sick animals
 Germany and Russia boast of women veterinarians, but England has to plead guilty to no women declaring them. selves thus practically on the side of suffering dumb creatures. This is espe. eially queer when 1t is remembered that the women of the merry island are pro. verbally fond of dogs, cats and horses, many of tho leading ladies of title find. ing their greatest pleasure ill the chase and the kennels.
 The field of work for women among pet cats and dogs should be very large one. At tho present moment, strange to say, the rank and file of the physicians who attend animals ure better paid than their counterparts who attend human beings. The system of long credit that prevails i'll regard to people does not seem to hold when accepted as indica- tive of the fact that people are less grateful to the man who cures their children than to the one who treats the pony or the pet dog Rather is it a sign that tho physician s profession is over crowded, while that of the veterinary surgeon Is not.
 Here. then. is one moro outlet for the activity of healthy, fearless girls. Of course it requires an immense amount of study and hard work-what profes- sion does not? And it offers no field to

 A memorial cross has been placed in Mount Auburn, near Boston, over the urn containing the ashes of the earthly body of Kate Field. The urn was com mitted to the earth by the side of the graves of her father and mother and a brother who died in his childhood The place is beautiful ono, on high ground, with beautiful oyerarching elms waving in the air. It has been my sad and sacred privilege to take charge of this last earthly tribute to the gifted and lovely woman whose ashes there repose, and I designed for it a cross of the purest white Italian marble, with the name Kate Field, in raised letters, on the short arm of the cross It is placed on two pediments, and on the upper of these-of the same marble-are inscrib- ed tho lines:

plfareated Garmenta on the nleyele


 The desire of the average girl to array herself i'll bifurcated garments is a mys- terious instinct, but it undoubtedly ex- ists, and, moreover, the bicycle would have given her an opportunity of grati- flying the whim to her hearts content if only she had been willing to act upon a rather moro rational system. In Par is, whore the cycling 1nicker has been adopted, 1t is, on tho whole, failure because the wearers seem only to reeog- nize the possibility of adopting one of two extreme raodels-either they swathe their lower limbs i'll baggy zouaves, which are almost as inconvenient as skirts and ten times more hideous, or else they incase them in absolutely skin tight garments, which, whether they are made of cloth, corduroy or velvet arc scarcely built upon the pattern ap. proved by Mrs. Grundy and only on the very rarest occasions have even the merit of being becoming.
 On the other hand, it is generally ac. knowledged that man with any pre- tensions to decent build never looks so well as ill kniekerbockers, but then he wears them neither hopelessly baggy nor desperately tight If this masculine compromise had been adopted by the fair cyclist, she would have found it far more becoming when once she had mas tered the art of walking in it, and, while being perfectly proper" in ap- pearance, it might safely be worn by those whose figures were scarcely calcu- lated to bear the test of the skin tight model
 Here, however, this chance of 'bifur- eation' has been allowed to go by, at any rate for the present, for dressmak- CTS are at last beginning to understand what for long time seemed an abso- lute impossibility tho art of making skirt which hangs not only tolerably, but positively smartly, upon bicycle. Having accomplished this, it is perhaps not too much to hope that the bicycle girl will begin to realize that it is not necessary, when astride her wheel, to cast to the winds all thought of her personal appearance, but on the contra ry, will bear in mind that ill no other position are her gloves, boots, waist and hat so exposed to criticism. As for tight laoing for bicycle costume, it IS undoubtedly to the interest of the world at large to encourage it. inasmuch as it tends to diminish the number of that terrible plague from which even tho sorely beset King Pharaoh was mer- clfully delivered--the feminine scorch.
