WAS IN PURPLE
Royal Costume of Anna
Rose as a Queen.
Much Homage for the Hawaiian
Belle-Cleopatra ,CIrdIe and
Jeweled Tiara.

Topeka papers received by the last
mail are full of accounts of the recep-
ton accorded Miss Anna Rose, Karni-
val Queen, ly ne people of Kansas.
Over 10000 people met the young lady
at the railway depot. Her arrival was
heralded by the booming of cannon
and the sounding OF steam whistles.
The regal carriage was escorted
through the streets by procession o!
brass bands, while the populace
thronged the houses and sidewalks and
cheered wildly as the queen passed
The ball, held in the State house, was
a grand affair. In the reception Miss
Rose shook hands with 5000 people.
Her pluck and endurance in this mat
ter was generally commented upon in
the papers. The costume worn by Miss
Rose at the ball was designed and
made by Madame A. Fuegeo, OF ST.
Louis, one of the most famous costum-
ers of America.
This costume" said Madame Fue-
geo at Topeka before the ball. "is the
handsomest one of its kind ever made
or worn in the United States. 1t Is
the Egyptian style and Is a marvel OF
beauty. No production of Cleopatra
ever used a costume as regal as this
one. 1t was made upon measurements
telegraphed from San Francisco when
Miss Rose landed"
The tiara Is a genuine Cleopatra pat
tern and Is the finest ever worn in the
United States. No tiara ever worn
in any of the mammoth productions of
Cleopatra can compare with 1t. There
are over 800 jewels used in its con-
structiOn. The 20 real pearl pendants
are pure in color as white satin. The
front of the tiara represents the head
of peacock, the bird OF the Nile. The
head and neck of the bird are formed
of emeralds, and the rest of the tiara Is
composed of rubies, sapphires and en-
eralds.
The waist of the royal robe is of old
gold brocade silk of the slash puff
sleeve pattern, trimmed in real pearls,
rubies and emeralds. The neck and
sleeves are trimmed in rare old lace.
The skirt is a mass of beads and pearls
worked on silk net over the old gold
silk skirt. The train is empress style.
The sesta or girdle is of the old Egyp-
tian pattern of yellow, brown, blue,
green, white and red silk of soft hues
trimmed with gold lace, large pearls,
rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. Miss
Rose will carry a sceptre OF gold
mounted with emeralds. The cloak is
of lighter shade of old gold than the
robe. The cloak Is faced with royal
purple and lined with red. 1t is en-
broidered in silk representing fern
leaves. The whole is trimmed in spang-
les. The necklace is of SO handsome
brilliants. Thearmlets are of solid old
Roman gold heavily studded with ru-
bies and sapphires. The bracelets are
also of heavy gold bands with stars
studded with jewels. The chatelaine

and has subserved a useful purpose.
The school was for girls and was run
on precisely the same lines as Hawai-
ahao seminary.
1t was as far back as the time OF
Rev. Jonathan Green, 1870 to the COS,
that the seminary really had its birth.
The beginning was In Mr.. Greens
house. From that start nearly thirty
years later the seminary as 1t has been
known was continued. In the early
days the building was one story, and
a small affair. The new, or latter day
building was two stories and possessed
all the conveniences appertaining to a
first class boarding school. In the rear
was a spacious lanai Miss Mary Z.
Alexander is principal there. She has
four assistants. There are about sixty
pupils in regular attendance.
A sad feature OF the case Is that the
seminary will probably not be rebuilt.
1t has been maintained by
private subscriptions with assistance
from the Hawaiian Board and the
Woman's Board OF Missions. The
strain OF keeping 1t going has always
been very great. For this reason II is
not believed the institution will be re-
vived
Particulars OF the fire will arrive by
the Mauna LOa tomorrow.

Ell Khrir, on approaching, saw that the

a long poignard from his belt, plunged
it between the shoulder blades of his VIC

the ordinary illnesses of childhood?
Any woman may insure the health of her

her children depends almost entirely upon

the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens OF
maternity A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health, comfort, ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to a life of suffering
or an early death. That is what she does
if she neglects the health of her special

Marquis de Mores by tribemen in north

Tunis, he met band of more than forty
Tuaregs- They pretended to be friendly
and advised him to get rid of his escort

He did so. The later nomads We're per-
suaded by party of Chaambas to kill

pose of De MoreS was to see the country

his tent. but instead of killing him. stole
box which was filed with papers.
When in the morning De Mores found
that he had been robbed he suspected a
plot and determined to foil 1t by a rapid
retreat He told his servants that he did
not have enough provisions for the trip
and that it would be necessary to proceed
to Sinaoun for a new supply. a Targui

De Mores mounted and started to lead it.

left were the Sheikh Ben Add el Kader.

the rest of the column.
Suddenly the Sheikh Ben Add ell Kader
and the two Tuaregs dashed upon De
Mores and took away his rifle, which
was slung over his back. At the same
moment FL KhTir and his Tuaregs seized
the holster of the revolver, and in the
struggle all fell to the ground with the

Beats Fish stories n Mile.

A Binghamton contemporary tells story that
is slightly improbable in one or two details
Seven years ago, so the story goes. a calf tore
mans vest from a backyard fence where il
lowed a gold watch that was in the pocket A
few weeks ago the calf, now a fully grown ANIMAL
was slaughtered for beef and the watch was
found in such position between the lungs that
the process of respiration, closing and filling
the lungs, had kept the stemwinder wound up
and the watch had lost only four minutes in
seven years. 1t will occur to the average reader
that in such a situation the watch must have
lost at least ten minutes. and consequently tie
story has a slightly suspicious flavor. The pub
lie would be inclined to credit it il it
had been accompanied with the cost of the vest
and lock of the calf's hair.

A bulletin posted at the War Depart

Gorgham, Me-, notifying the department
of the death at that place of Lieut. Lu-
Glen Stacy, the bulletin reads:
Lieut.. Stacy was one of the most cele-
brated football players on the West Point
team. 1t has been a subject of remark
that many of the highly trained athletes
and football players of the army sue
cumb in service as quickly, If not more
so. than others. Many of the young men
who appeared for examination recently
for appointment from civil life, and failed
to pass the physical examination, are re-
puted, persistently so by their friends,
as being the most celebrated athletes of
their various colleges"
1t would appear from this that the
best preparation for service in the field
is not always the athletic grounds, par
ticularly where 1t is carried to excess.
