But the Conductor Was Accommodate

After It.

The M A. & B. train pulled out of
Manhattan a few days ago with a mid
die aged woman on board. After the
train had started and was we'll under
way the woman commenced to look
about her, under the seats, in the bun
die racks and everywhere.
Whats the matter?' enQuired one of
the passengers.
Il can't find my baby" said the wo-
man as she continued to search.
The passengers all hunted but no ba-
by could be found.
"Oh, I remember suddenly exclaim-
ed the woman. Il left her on the bag
gage truck at the station" The train
was stopped by the conductor and back
1t went for the baby. When the station
was reached there was the baby sleep
ing peacefully on the baggage truck.
The woman gathered the child up in her
arms and the train again started on it's

BICYCLISTs AS BANKERS.
What the Racing Men Have Done In
the Way Of Saving Money.


F. Ed Spooner, writing on the financial
status Of well-known bicycle racing men.
says: Few Of the oldtimers are possessed
Of a competency, in many cases owing to re-
verses in business since their retirement
from the cycle path. One of the old-time
riders who is now living upon the money he
made is Harry Tyler, who ranked with the
'top notchers'' in 81, '92 and '93. and also
in "a and '95, when he was one Of three to
inaugurate the present reign Of honest pro-
fessionalism. Tyler lives up in the Adiron-
dacks at Plattsburg, and is known as q gen.
tleman farmer. He saved his money while
racing, married happily and is now pros
porous man. Zimmerman and willie"
Windle lost money in business failures and
have little Of the money which the cycle rae
ing game yielded 20 them In the years gone
by. 4.
The leading five men of the present day
are all large money makers and In several
instances are men OF means as the direct re-
suit Of their racing, OF these five. Gardiner,
Cooper. Bald, Major Taylor and Orlando
Stevens, Cooper is the best fixed. The De-
troit boy. when he started racing, was a
clerk at IS a week. Now he is wealthy
man. having over $4,000 we'll invested and
an income from his investment of $42. so a
week. Cooper struck II rich, as the saying
goes. when he invested his all in telephone
stock In Detroit This stock doubled in
value and is away above par now. Cooper
is still placing money In the company and
stands fair to finish his racing independ-
emily rich. He is assured Of life compe-
tency right now. and is one Of the happiest
men on the path and incldently one Of the
hardest workers. .
Gardiner Is also well-to-do and has won
over one-tenth OF all the money offered on
the circuit this season, or nearly $4,000 In
three months. He has won much in addi-
tion to this and has laid by much of his
money. Gardiner does not squander his
money, but is a free spender and does not
save as much as he should. Eddie" Bald's
probable savings have proved problem for

ished with yellow satin revers edged
with black velvet baby ribbon.
Thoroughly characteristic of the pres
ent summer was dress of blue and
white silk arranged with a double
skirt, which was trimmed with crossing
insertions of fine black lace. Each
skirt was edged with frills of silk. Dor
dered with lace and white ribbon. The
bodice was covered with deep tucks of
silk, which came below the waist in
front. The yoke of white silk was ar
ranged with tucks and frills of Valen-
ciennes lace alternately.
The mother of the bride wore blue
and silver brocade with fine black
design and cloud effect in pale blue
traced upon the background. The skirt
was trimmed with lace flounces headed
by block chiffon ruches. The bodice
had fichu drapery of cream lace
caught with diamond buttons. Black
satin ribbons were arranged back and
front in the form of bretelles.

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1898-08-20

An educated parrot gave rise to Q
law suit in Montana recently. The
man that owned the parrot was max
ing great deal of noise in his house
one night, and lady who lived next
door becoming annoyed, asked him to
keep still. In reply, she was told to
"shut up" and then followed perfect
volley of abuse out of one OF the win
dows. The lady retired into her house,
and the next day had the man arrest
ed. His defense was that he had not
said a word, but his parrot had. and.
of course, he had no control over the
voice of the bird. He added that. since
the magistrate seemed skeptical. he
had brought the parrot into court and
would have it give an exhibition of its
powers. This the parrot proceeded to
do. and in one minute insulted every
body in the room. The magistrate
promptly dismissed the case. but told
the man that such a rascally bird
ought to be strangled on general prin-

small pointed chemisette of cream
colored lace. The lower part of the
bodice was a corselet of rose-colored
gauze. The hat was widc-brimmed
white chip, with long white ostrich
feathers curving away on either side
of rather low crown.
A dress of cornfiower blue mousse
line de sole over white silk proved very
successful. It's skirt was ruched with
blue and white chiffon; the bodice had
vest of white chiffon trimmed with
blue gauze ribbons, and the collar,
high in the back, was of blue and white
lined with white chiffon.
A powder-blue muslin spotted close
ly with white was arranged in simple
but charming fashion with three mar
row shaped flounces hemmed and set
on with white gauze baby ribbon. A

and narrow black velvet ribbon. The
bodice discovered almos: entirely with

was of green linen heavily stitched
with white, and was outlined with
gold and white ropes twisted into
sailor knots at intervals. The coat
was finished with large turnover col
lar, also trefoil-shaped and rope-edged;
its green, white and gold forming a
most effective contrast with the tan
brown. A silk blouse of rose-pink,
green and white showed between the
coat fronts, and waist scarf of green
and white silk was caught with a
large silver buckle. The sailor hat worn
with this dress was of green straw,
scarfed with green and white ribbon.
Almost as novel in effect was the
costume of piquant Chicago girl, in
fine white serge. The skirt was cut
with a deep fiounce which was finished
at the top in curious unduating
curves, and caught to its foundation
with rope twisted of green and white
silk strands. An underskirt of pale
green silk seized chances to make it
self visible. The short, close-titting
coat was cut away in front and turned
back with revers of pale green silk
ornamented with lines of narrow black
and white ribbon; it was edged with
the green and white silk rope, which
formed scroll embroideries on the
back and collar. The blouse of green
silk was ornaMented with small bows
of black velvet ribbon. A sailor hat
was worn, of white Panama straw,
draped with folds of green silk, ar
ranged in handkerchief points and tied
with big bow on one side.
A blue pique dress spotted with
white was one of the most effective
on the beach this morning. Its skirt
was made with deep circular flounce
of plain white. ringed with many rows
| of narrow white insertion. The bod
| ice was a low-cut blouse of the blue
and white: it was edged about the
decolletage with frill of white EN-.
broidery and finished with blue and
white spotted muslin gimp, ending
in bertha collar. The white sailor
hat carried spotted scarf of blue
and white and the parasol was in the
same colors.
Another beach dress was of pale
