Some time since an Englishman in
Ceylon announced his conversion to
Mohammedanism and Immediately
claimed tho privilege of polygamy,
taking unto him second wife in the
person of an English girl of excellent
family, who also announced her con-
version. The first wife sued FOR q
divorce. The man protested that ms n
Mosem he had right to two or even
four wives. The matter has come up
in the courts, and it has been decided
that his status in Ceylon is that of an
Englishman upon whom the obliga.
tion of monogamy is binding whatever
his religious belief. whether he be
Christian, jew, Buddhist, Mormon or

A Fortune with q String.

Miss Grace Hartley, n Vassar col
lege girl and member of a prominent
family in Fall River, Mass, has been
bequeathed one of the most unique
fortunes on record by her father, DIR.
J. w. Hartley.
The queer conditions Of the will are
as follows: First, that she never marry
any one within the degree of kinship
of son, grandson or great grandson of
Cook Borden, late of Fall River, de-
ceased. Second, that she shall at no
time give, bestow, present, loan, en-
dow or furnish any part of the prin-
cipal or income of the estate to, for or
upon, or for the benefit of any person
within the kinship of wife, son, daugh-
ter, grandson, granddaughter, great
grandson or great granddaughter Of

sound on the porch. He started, and
his eysD became fixed upon the vision
before him. A figure, all in white,
and motionless, stood upon the lower
step.
The Rev. Wetherby Smiles was
startled, but he was not superstitious.
For some seconds, however, he stared
at the apparition before he recognized
it. Then he stepped q, dckly forward
and began to make excuses in low
voice.
"Mrs. Scorritch - Lydia Il beg
your pardon, but Thought"
He got no further in his fnltering

fallen to the ground had he not sprung
forward and caught her in. his arms.

Mr.. Smiles, the perspiration starting
on his brow. "what n situation.

He was tempted TO lay her down
upon the porch and run. But he
looked down into the little white face,
revealed by the faint starlight The
pale lids we're drawn over the great
eyes, which he thought so glorious.
The pouting lips had not entirely lost
their redness, but the cheeks were
without color.
He looked upon her, and then did
not lay her down and flee. Instead
he stopped lower and--lifted her more
closely against his breast and carried
his burden into the house. There
was n couch in the reception room. He
laid her down and lighted the gas. She
opened her eyes languidly and saw
him.

"You-you had never spoken to me

He bent lower and took her hand.

number of professors IL has contribu ted
to Norwegian institutions Of learning,
particularly TO the university at Chris
tiania. Such family history confers
distinction anywhere, but particularly
is this so in Notwa where there is
neither aristocracy nor plutocracy. But
perhaps Mrs. Nansen's good looks and
love Of outdoor sports are for her hus-
band as decided attractions as her
musical or mental gifts. She is just
the contrast in coloring to him that
she should be-dark haired and dark
eyed, and a contrast in size, too, for
she is decidedly little woman.
Running over hill and dale on Nor
wegian snowshoes is the great winter
sport Of Scandinavia, and Mrs. Nanscn
is an expert at skilobning, as they
call it; but once when she was skilob-
ming in the mountains with her hus-
band she did too much, and became
exhausted; she was wearing q short
dress and long coat and high boots.
Her husband picked her mp and
sought help. At last he found a
PEASANTS hut, and from it issued its
owner before he reached the door, pro-
testing volubly: "Oh, sir, you ought
not TO bring little boy like that out
so far. The country here Is too rough
for u child to skilobn in."
II is pet trick of DR.. Nansen to set
her on his outstretched arm and parade
up and down the room with her; but
that really to one that knows him
does not indicate much about her
size, for at a banquet given in Chris
tiania after his return from Green
land he picked up Captain Luerdorf,
who has since commanded the Fran,

Says the San Francisco Argonaut.
''The daily papers are not content
with plastering pictures over their
pages, most of which are superfluous
and all of which are bad. They have
now devised all sorts of topographic
freaks with which to disfgure the
pages already defaced by poor pictures.
IL has become matter of extreme
difficulty to pursue the windings OF
an article in and out of the pictures
and over to the inner pages, where it's
ramifications generally terminate.
For, according TO the new journal
ism, it is necessary to begin all the
news features on the first page with
a whoop and a howl, allowing them to
trickle ont like stale treacle on the in
side pages. But this desire to get
everything featured on the first page
has brought about the condition which
. makes the daily papers look like pic
ture puzzles. As il to add to the con-
fusion, some inspired editorial ediot
has now devised plan of inclosing in
borders all sorts of stories, scraps of
interviews, sayings of individuals
more or less obscure and the fotsam
and jetsam generally of the news of
the day. There is thus made up a
sort of journalistic remnant-c counter or
newspaper ragbag, which is surround
ed with variegated black borders of
varying degrees of hideousness, and
around which must coil and curl and
convolute the genuine news of the
day. The hapless purchaser of a news
paper is now forced to pick ont the

which deface the pages Of the dailies,

During her first term in the White
House, relates w. Il. Curtis, in the
Chicago Record, Mrs. Cleveland was
always accessible to newspaper cor
respondents and was the source of o
great deal of valuable information
concerning official and social affairs.
The women correspondents were very
fond of her and appreciated her SYM
pathy and assistance, but during the
second term, after the children came,
she became more secluded; she seldom
saw any of her old friends of the news
paper profession, except on the oc-
casion of official functions, aud even
then she usually referred them to the
presidents private secretary or to
Colonel Wilson, the master of cere-
monies at the White House. 1t is
said that this change in her disposi.
tion was caused by little incident
that was resented by the president
and herself as an unwarranted intru.
sion into their private affairs, and
caused them to take measures to pro-
tect their household against any fur
ther attacks of that kind. At the same
time the article they complained OF
was not only an interesting but q
truthful account of an event which
occurs daily in every well-regulated
household that is made happy by
children. A newspaper correspondent
of some fame happened to call just as
Ruth who was then baby,
was having her morning bath.
The operation was being observed
with great pleasure by the president,
who invited his friend to join him.

interested in studying the demeanol

and particularly man of Mr.. Cleve
lands character and disposition in the

. description Of the affair for his
paper. The public was greatly amused
but the president and Mrs. Cleveland
were indignant. That particular cor
respondent was never received at tn.
White House again, and he sffeetuall,
destroyed their confidence in his pro

AppsreI for working Women,

Are you one of that bright fellow
ship working women? Are you
busy all day in factory, or store, or
Office? Are you, in short, one who is
interested in the great problem
"What the working woman should
wear at work." If you are, read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest this
advice.
Miss Grace Dodge, who probably
knows more about the needs of the
working girl than any other woman in
New York, does not believe in any
thing approaching a uniform for
downtown wear. She thinks that
Mollie of Tompkins street has just as
much right to the daintiness of dress
as Marie of Madison avenue. Still,
Miss Dodge believes in appropriate
ness and admits that some "pretties"
must be discarded in the interest of
the eternal fitness of things.
For instance, the working woman
will avoid, in her working garb, os-
trich feathers, big hats, lace jabots,
silk and chiffon waists, silk dress
skirts, bracelets, rings, earrings,
chains and all sorts of iewelry. She
will forego the pleasure of donning a
feather boa. She will eschew bright
colors, MS being both too conspicuous
and too easily soiled for downtown
wear.
For agown-whether she is factory
girl or "lady lawyer" she may have
dark colored serge, cheviot or tweed.
If she belongs to the better paid class
of workers it may be silk lined and
have in imposing gilt letters on its
belt the name of fashionable tailor.
But whatever she is, it must be neatly
hung, trig, trim, and bound and
brushed religiously.
If the one dress has to do much
duty, there should be q smooth fit
ting bodice of itself, perhaps with Nor
folk plsits laid, perhaps with an Eton
jacket opening over a bilk vest. and
two or three flannel shiitwaists. The
ingenious damsel STUDIOS shirtwaists
in the tailors' windows and models
her own on them-sS'apped seams,
frilled cuffs and all. With two shirt
waists, one regular bodice and neatly
made suit, the woiking woman is
equipped as to frocks.-Nsw York

Fashion Notes.


Jacqueminot velvet hats are much
favored by brunette beauties.
Amethysts and emeralds seem to be
fayorite stones for gold hatpins.
Very lovely tea gowns are of Roman
striped silk, with lace garniture
For yokes and skirt borders there
are beautiful lace applique insertions.
Three kinds of fur utilized in one
garment is no unusual sight these
days.
Long black lace scarfs in the style
of days gone by are now used as
sashes.
The latest French skirt models
grow narrower and closer on the front
and sides.
Some French house dresses are
trimmed with two shades of ribbon Of
the same color, artistically arranged.
Daggers for the hair are again in
fashion in gold, aluminium, filigree,
silver and amber set with mock jewels
of every color and device.
There seems to be O veritable epi-
demc of tiny waists. The athletic
girl has broad shoulders, but she
doesn't run much to waist--to indulge
at once in a pun and an honest state
ment.
The fashionable photographer pos
sesses such an assortment OF laces,
neck jewels and fancy headwear that
the woman anxious to be posed artis-
tically has a wide range of choice in
the matter of her adornment.
Very many of the new fur boas are
long enough to reach the bottom Of
the skirt in front. Some are made en-
tirely of Russian sable, Hudson's bay
or stone marten tails. With these lace
and jewels are often introduced.
When silks are packed away they
are likely to become yellow unless
care is used. To prevent this, break
up few cakes of white beeswax, fold
them loosely in old handkerchiefs and
place these among the folds of silk.
White gloves stitched with black
are only de rigueur for day wear when
accompanying q costume in black and
white effects. The more fashionable
shades are doe color, biscuit, mush-
room, almond, pale brown and tan.
Fashionable dressmakers, both here
and abroad, are making most. liberal
use of beautiful artificial flowers that
look exactly like natures own to dec
crate evening toilets, and not o few
fichus and bodices are actually smoth-
cred with roses.
Fur is very fashionable trimming,
and is combined with lace and EN-
broidery without any regard for the
expense involved; yet, without this ex-
cess of decoration the palmer gowns,
when they have the indescribable touch
which gives them style, are the most
pleasing.
Lace of all kinds is cheaper than
ever, and real lace is never out Of
date. 1t can be made into almost
every style of trimming, without be-
| ing cut into bits. Most of the dreesy
neck garnitures are finished with
Mechlin, Point de Venise, or other
rich laces.
Frills of lace in ivory white or an
tique yellow or frills of chiffon are
much used to line the high storm collars
Of fur garments. Sallow complexioned
women do not look well in gray furs,
and hence the chinchilla or gray fox
collarette is trimmed with lace run
and knots of ribbon. Both white and
black lace is used, the black - re-
lief for light furs, the white - . relisf
for dark furs.

EVERY INCH A KING,

From the San Francisco Daily Report
David Belenberg spent 81 600 on a grand
military drunk at St. Michael Belenberg
a returning Klondiker, conceived the happy
idea of having the artillery drink against
the infantry, and, having more money than
brains, carried this idea into effect I'm
fortunately for those interested in the
statistics of science the results of this mil
itary debauch We're not carefully and con-
scientiously noted. and the world will never

The st. Michael incident reminds us OF an
episode in the career Of the late King
haidkaua. During one of his visits TO this
city he was taken to Mare Island on a
naval vessel. and the guests on this occa-
sion included dozen or two army officers
some OF whom were young, lively and out
Tor run. The navy officers and the army
oflcers had a quiet little talk and il was
agreed that, AS the navy officers had their
regular work to do. they could not take a
sCciai glass, and therefore it was the duty
or the army officers to see that his a1esty
was properly corned, and If possible laid
cut on the trip to the island. The fun wax
ed fast and furious in the officers quarters
ana the flowing bowl was kept in constant
motion, toast after toast was offered and
on every occasion kalakaua drank to the
full limit, accepting every challenge from
an army man. By the time the vessel
rounded Mare Island light most OF the
army officers were resting on the couches
OF the navy officers, but Kalakaua. steady
as rock, bright, smiling and genial. still
Inc center of group in the ward room
was ready, willing, and even eager to drink
TO every sentiment his hosts might offer
Arrived at Mare Island, he walked ashore
as dignifed as ever, bowling graciousy to
the right and left, and in the reception hall
he met the officers and ladies in his easy
aHable way, and charmed one and all with
bis courtly manners and happy style 1t
was glass of champagne with Mrs So
and-So, glass of punch with Mrs So-and-
30, champagne with the admiral, punch
with the other officers, and at the close. of
the day he returned to the ship, came back
to the city. had his dinner at the paIace as
usual, and in the evening received a few
visitors and was the honored guest at
social gathering
In army circles to this day, whenever any
enc SAYS this man or that man can carry
on large amount of hot and fiery liquors
with ease and comfort, there is almost al
ways some one to say: "Oh, yes. he is a
pretty hard-headed man, but you should
nave seen kalakaua on the Mare Island
trip
