Coming Events.

The projectors of the concert for
benefit of Elias Williams have found
it necessary to hold their exercises in
Ravenscrofts' Opera House, instead of
the Welsh Baptist church, first nam
ed. This change enables them to en-
large the scope of the program as
we'll as accommodate the tremendous
audience that promises to be on hand.
The best local talent is engaged, and
the concert will take place next Thurs
day evening, Doth inst.

A current item states that
Every coal merchant in Frankfort KY

men combined the last few months and have
been supplying the trade at prices agreed on

Ali agree, too, with a spontaneity
that amounts to informal unanimity
that each is cheaper than any other

Joseph Evans, Of Thirteenth street
and Snyder avenue, is the owner of a
very queer looking fish. 1t is four
feet long and has tail two feet in
length, which is spotted and striped,
like snake. Evans caught the fish
in an oyster dredger while at work on
the oyster boat Mary Colman. It
lived nearly day out of water and
caused no end Of trouble before it fin
ally collapsed. The skin of the strange
inhabitant of the deep resembles u
checkerbosrd, being uniformly oolored
with black and blue squares. Mr..
Evans intends having o glass case
made for the pretty creature and will
exhibit il in his parlor. Several scien-
tifc men, who have seen the fish, are
at loss as to how to classify it, and all
of them agree that "what-is-it" fish
would be the proper name for it,

Down on the meadows Of the Passaic,
on the shore of Newark Bay, and
within the bounds of the city Of
Newark itself, says the New York
Herald, men are working day and
night on guns for the Government
The complex and exquisitely adjusted
machines that turn and bore "jackets"
and "tubes" never stop, except for a
"rest" of an hour or so or the replac-
ing of cutter dulled by hours of slow,
steady ploughing through the hardest
and finest steel.
Steel is everywhere, in almost shape
less, oblorg ingots, fresh from the
casting room; in forged lengths, in
cylinders, now bearing some resem.
blance to a "rapid fire." and in chips
and shavings. There are strange and
interesting scenes in these gun shops
and the pictures presented each hour
are dramatic in the extreme. Here in
these processes is to be seen the acme
of American manufacturing, the great
essential fact being the machinery,
that is almost automatic in its work,
and the few men needed to control and
guide it.
Except in the forging room scarcely
n blow of hammer is heard. The
shops are almost as silent as the grave.
Wheels revolve, cutters turn, men
stand placidly by the side of machines,
moving softly here and there. All
this time, each second, the gun that
some day will belch forth fire and
steel of its own is coming nearer COM
pletion. Chips fall rs the bars re-
volve, but the cutters are not heard.
The guns, it would appear to the
onlookers, are almost making them
selves.
OF the sturliest type of American
mechanics are the men employed.
They are workmen who think and who
know, men who can judge when a GER

approach by intuition, rather than

qualities are not so much needed in a

moved there is the electric travelling
brane overhead, that, at the jerk OF
a cord, swings over its graphing irons,
and these need only to be attached.
The gun man of to-day needs only to

These works are of the Benjamin
Atha & Illingworth Company, one of
the three concerns in this country
that have the plant and the skill to
turn out guns of size. Their main

In shadow is the casting shop, ex-

head and face are lost and the fea-
lures dwarfed. Crimping irons are
not to be scorned. In fact, they are
most useful accessory of the toilet.
But they should be used with judg-
ment. Individual styles should be
studied. Women with broad faces
should avoid both too narrow and too
broad effects. Both are fatal to a
round face. If the woman with mar
row, Eoval face, with a head well
poised on slender throat looks raw

coiffure, with high puffs on the crown
Of her head, it does not follow that her
sister, with the short neck, wide
face and high brow will find the same
mode becoming. Individuality is the
keynote of graceful couture, as it
is OF al other fashions.
Lovelocks, or "beau- -catchers. have
reappeared, and the smartest women
in the East do not consider that the
hair is properly coiffed without them.
The genuine lovelock is worn Just by
the ear, where it was placed by the
beauties Of past centuries. Few wo-
men can stand extra breadth at that
point, however, and unless they wish
to be extreme, they permit lock or
two to turn on the forehead or temple.
The lovelooks predict revolution in
the styles for coiffures. They even
suggest that women of fashion may al
low their hair to be white. Every
thing points to modes that were fol-
lowed in the luxurious days of the
French court in Marie Antoinette's
reign. The pompadour remains the
favorite style for arranging the hair,
but great effort is being made to re-es-
tablish long and short curls. For
evening the hair is worn quite high,
and when the aigrettes, feathers or
ribbons are added, the arrangement is
quite eight inches tall. The wearing
