The Brunette is an exceedingly SUI
perstitious person. She believes in
signs and weather signals and fortune
telling and all of those things. ! new
er did and never could and tried to eX-
plain all OF her theories away by elc-
quent remarks On mind reading, per-
sonal magnetism and physiognomy
combined, but to no purpose. She
persisted that she was right and /
was wrong and offered to prove It.
"I{oW?" | said with a cynical smile
by going to some one who will tell
you Things you want awfully TO know
and also things you don't Want any
one Ill the world 10 know

it, I said.
The Brunette gave me the privilege
Of selecting the place and | picked up
a paper with long column Of adver-
tisements, such as we sought, and ran
my eye along the list until found one
that suited my fancy. 1t was very
sensational, the clairvoyant promising
to call the patron by her full name and
tell what she came for; to give truth
full revelations of all love affairs, :rou

the fulness laid in two fiat box plaits.
1t was trimmed with two strips Of
black velvet that commenced narrow
at the waist line and continued down
IN two perpendicular lines that broad
ened as they neared the bottom of the
skirt. There they turned in rounded
corners an dfollowed the edge of the
skirt all the way round. The velvet
was trimmed on each side with
piping of pale violet satin. The
rounded corners were trimmed with
three big gold and amethyst buttons.
The corsage was a sort of jacket Of
the ottoman, opening over vest Of
violet satin that was covered full with
deep cream mousseline de sole.
A PRUNE CLOTH
A reception gown worn by a young
woman just out of her teens was made
of prune cloth. The skirt Of the cloth
was close-ftting over the hips with
the fulness at the back laid in two
fiat box plaits. 1t was trimmed around
the bottom with rows of narrow
prune silk braid that We're arranged
in points and held with tiny turquoise
buttons
The corsage was a blouse of pale
violet satin covered with the braid to
give the effect of a. bias plaid. An
open work design in gold threads and
turquoise stones held the braid in
place. 1t fastened in an invisible
fashion at the left shoulder and I'M

cloth were close-fitting and boosted

Women. this strange scientist asserts,
grow near to nature and follow the yege-
tation as men cannot Though he adds
that the men of Mars are necessarily
tall. springing from such parentage. This
fact Of superior height in our neighbors
has never been disputed.
NJ Carrot says that the women or Mars
are very lovely. with a different beauty
from earthly women. They have an n
nocent expression and are singularly un-
affected in their ways. This, too, he de-
duces from natural phenomena.
In the matter of dress mis- deductions
are stft more startling. The women OF
Mars dress in gold and silver. he says.

A great deal has been said about the
inhabitants of the nearby world which
we are trying so hard TO speak" and
much has been written about the men
that probably live there, but has any
one ever taken the trouble to fathom
the woman of Mars and find out what
her qualities and pecuharities may be?
A French scientist has been at work
upon the woman Of Mars, and this Is
what he determines:
Nj. Carrot decides that the Mars woman
will be eighteen feet in height. He bases
his Judgment upon the many scientific
works that have been written about Mars,
inhabitants and upon observations which
he has made. In support of this. his
first and most positive statement regard
ing the Mars women. he cites the vege-
tatiou visible upon Mars. He says the

New York, July 6.-John A Heydler,
who has just resigned from the National
Leagues umpire staff, sends the follow
ing TO the sun, which speaks for itself:
ITO the Editor Of the suls-Sir: In view
Of the fact that the president of the New
York club has telegraphed eleven other
clubs and President Young demanding
my removal because Of the decision rem
dered by me on the morning of July 4.
permit me TO give my side of the case:
7 declared Davis Of New York out at
second base for the reason that Long of
Boston touched him with the ball while
he was in the act Of sliding to the base and
had not reached it. Davis not only
threatened to punch me, nut used Ian
guage in direct violation of the Brush
rule. I'll admit ] made a mistake in not
suspending Davis for three days for his
kick and also in not taking him before
The board.
After the game Mr. Freedman came
from the grandstand in an excited man
ner. Arson pointed me out to Freedman
and the latter rushed up to me and said:
" Is this Mr. Heydler?'
/" Yes, sir / replied.
" That was a barefaced robbery out
there this morning he said asked
him what he meant and he said the de-
cision on Davis at second base.
q" You've been giving US the worst of
it, and you've got to do better by US,
Freedman went on.
'' II you make any more decisions like
that IN lock the gates and caution the
people not to come when you are sched-
uled to umpire
That's all right, Mr.. Freedman !
replied and walked away.
Later when I was dressing under the

on you, and sent me down 10 tell you that

BOXING BUDGET.

Never since boxing was first intro
duced in this city has there been such
large purses offered the star boxers 10
battle for as there are at the present
time. says the New York World. A few
years ago. when the sport was just be-
ginning to become popular hereabouts,
the matchmakers of clubs offered purses
ranging from s. 900 to $500 for. all OF the
popular men, with the exception of FItz-
simmons and Corbett, and, strange 70 say,
the boxers nearly fell over each other in
their anxiety to get match on for these
amounts of money. Since then things
have changed considerably with the
boxers. They now realize that the sport
is bringing in plenty of money these days
They have, therefore. raised the prices
on their services, with the result that
they are being offered much larger incen-
tlves at the present time than they ever
did before
