Royal Anniversaries.

Speaking of anniversaries, the re.
spected King Albert of Saxony has just
now been celebrating at once his
SEVENTEEN birthday and the twenty
fifth anniversary of his accession to the
throne. The little King Alfonso XIII.
of Spain was 10 years old on May II, and
his birthday was observed with more
or less ceremony. The queen of the
Netherlands, Wilhelmina, will be IS
years old on the last dayof August, and
that will bring to an end the regency
of Queen Emma. 1t should have been
mentioned that King Humbert l. OF
Italy this year completes his 20 years
upon the throne. In Russia few days
ago there was celebrated with mighty
acclaim the thirtieth birthday of En-
peror Nicholas II. His accession to the
throne seems to have been only yester-
day, but in point of fact he will have
reigned four years, the length of one Of
Our presidential terms, by the end OF
next October. The fiftieth anniversary
Of the reign of Francis Joseph as en-
peror of Austria will not occur until
the I'd day of December. His realms
are in a sadly distracted plight, but II
is now reasonably probable that they
will hold together long enough to cele-
brate the venerable emperor's jubilee.

there was a parade of fower-trimmed

bicycle dresses gay with ribbons and
lace insertion, as well as white serge
costumes finished with broad sashes

esque effect was produced by white
pique dress piped from the hem of the
moderately short skirt to the waist

occasion in these days, when the gen.
timely aquatic is at something of a dis
count. The costume was fashioned of
dead white serge, rather heavy than
otherwise, falling in graceful folds to
the ground, though clinging closely to
the hips. The bodice was covered with
loose overbodice of creamy, coarse
patterned lace forming a blouse; the
tint of the rose-colored silk belt was re-
peated in big dropping bow below the
square sailor collar. A vest of blurred
muslin in faint colors filled in the neck;
gold chain and locket taking the place
of hot collar band. Gold buttons, in
finitesimal in size and supposedly nauti-
cal in effect, fastened the pouched
bodice; the hat of crushed rose silk
with its punches of roses and daisies,
was not in the least nautical.
The linen, duck and pique dresses
that greet us every morning on the ten

more and more severe in their tailor

variety increases. Pink and blue duck
are extremely pretty, but white holds
the lead. One of to-day's newcomers

pique, whose deep flounce zen forme"
is outlined with leaf embroidery in tur-

single-breasted coat furnished with
short basques; this opens on a white
batiste blouse and a turquoise blue
null tie. The buttons are turquoise set
in steel rims. Perched above an abund-
ance of yellow hair is Panama hat,
draped with a scarf of blue gauze.

HIS SPITE TRUNK.
A Suburbanite's Scheme for Gettinh
Even with the Railroad He
Had a Grudge Against.

"The lengths to which man will
sometimes go to avenge real or fan
cied injury are amusing" said con-
ductor on a suburban train one MORN
ing last week. do you see that pros
perous-looking, middle-aged man in
the third seat ON the left? Well, sir. he
must be worth at least 100000, from
the style of country place he supports
up on the sound. You will find in the
baggage car big battered-looking old
trunk with his name and address paint
ed on it in large letters. Every morn
ing when that man comes into New
York his trunk comes with him, and
when he goes home at night the trunk
is on board. Between trips it rests in
the baggage room in New York or at
the station in the country where its
owner gets off. That trunk has been
travelling back and forth for two sea-
sons now, and it's an awful nuisance.
THE reason for this is: Two years
ago this man was thrown down in the
car by a sudden jolt and he sued the
road for $4,000 damages. He wasn't
injured particle, but he stated that
he had been waiting to sue the road for
something for long time. Well, he
was unable to prove carelessness on the
part of the road or injury to himself
and he lost his case. He was an angry
man, and if he had not had an expensive

used the road. He looked around for
some way to get even and he hit upon
the trunk idea. He found that he was
entitled to the transportation of 100
pounds of baggage on each trip. He
rugged up this big trunk, the largest
one that he could find, and put in
enough lead to make it weigh just 100
pounds. So that everyone might know
that he was revenging himself he paint
ed his name in large letters on the
trunk. Every morning he has II
checked into New York and every night
he checks it home again. During the
trip he usually walks through the bag.

green resorts along the Hudson are fill

gayety. From the shady piazza where

flags of all nations-except Spain's red
and yellow; the many-colored bunting
streaming from Venetian masts erected
round the shore. Children in gay cos
tunes are sailing model yachts with
deck loads of roses. Beyond the lake
the rattle of silver harness comes from
the distant roadway and carriages roll
past, their occupants concealed under
brilliant parasols. Bicycles fash into
view; upon them are girls in white,
presenting bright pictures with the PEN
nants of red, white and blue. Beyond
the roadway stretch the daisy fields
nodding white and gold in the sun.

NEW IRON BRIDGES.
All Wooden Structures On the Union
Pacific Gives Way to Steel.

The new management OF the Union
acitic has determined TO complete the
work of replacing wooden bridges with
steel and iron structures. which was
begun by the old management of the
road some three years ago. Some Of
the most disastrous wrecks in the his
tory of railroads have been caused by
wooden bridges, which caught fire from
sparks dropped by passing engines
and, burning out left great, yawning
holes, into which the first train dashed,
carrying to almost certain death the
entire crew, il a freight train, and
many passengers in addition to the
crew, il a passenger train, and result
ing in the loss of thousands and thou
sands OF dollars in the destruction Of
property.
Luckily for the Union Pacific. this
read has never experienced any of
these wrecks, although escapes have
been many and very narrow. one of
these WAS in 1893. near Dana station,
SOrle thirty-fiVe miles east Of RaWhns,

many lives would have been lost and
one of the worst wrecks Imaginable

afternoon when the woman. who
boarded 4 bridge gang at Dana, discoV-
cred Il small bridge, which spanned a
| dry creek a mile east Of the station, to
~ in flames. Greatly excited by the
discovery. she was more so when it
occurred 20 her that the westbound fast
mail was due to pass Dana station at
that very minute. With great pres
ence of mind. she ran down the track
as fast as she could. She heard the
train rumbing down steep grade,
and in Il short time she saw it aD-
preach around n curve. Standing in
the center of the track. she waived
her apron frantically The signal was
seen by Engineer Breese, who imme-
diately reversed his engine and opened
the valve TO the sandbOX. His action
was none too quick. for, with the big
drivers churning in the back motion,
the nose OF the pilot stopped within a
few feet of me burning bridge, which,
few minutes later. dropped with a
crash to the creek bottom below.
This experience awakened the Off
Gals Of the Union Pacific is the fact
thar the wooden bridges would have to
go. Consequently the work of putting
in iron bridges was begun, and pro-
crossed rapidly. until now there are
very few wooden structures along the
lire between Omaha and Ogden.
Material for seven new iron bridges
passed through last week which will
be placed over creeks between Rawlins
and Evanston, on the seventh and
eighth districts.

Field Museum Must Paw.

relating to donations to public mu-
seums was decided today, when the
jury in the case of Nav & Co. of Lon
don, against the Field Columbian Mu
scum, returned a verdict of S6,250 in
favor of the plaintiffs.
In 1894 Nav 6s Co. donated to the
museum a collection of mosaics and
vases On account of lack OF room. the
collection was not placed on exhibition.
but was stored in warehouse. There
it was slightly damaged by fire, and
soon afterwards sold at auction. Nav
& Co brought suit for $4,000. claiming
the collection was for exhibition pur-
poses alone, and that the museum had
no right to sell or derive pecuniary
profit from donations.
