warm work.-New York Sun.

SAILOR HATS TRYING.
The Low-CrOwned, NarrOw-lirimmed
Ones Worn This Year Are
UnhecOminB.

The low-crowned, narrow-brimmed
straw sailor of the season Is going TO
rob the summer girl of much of her
beauty, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. Several dozen women of
oil degrees of good looks fitted sailor
hats on at ono Of the big shops and
gazed disapprovingly in the mirror at
themselves. There were ell sorts of
sailor hats on the tables and counters,
low-orowned, narTow-brimmed ones of
coarse straw, higher crowned, broader
brimmed ones Of fine straw, and var
lous versions Of each variety. The
saleswoman declared that they were
ell this years model. The customers
murmured that only the low-crowned
broad-brimmed hats were new. Then
they continued fitting on and frown-
ing OF themselves and smiling derisiye-
ly at each other,
"I never saw such a fright said one
young woman, as she resumed her own
flowery hat after vainly searching for
becoming sailor among the low
crowned, coarse affairs. II shall hunt
up my last years hat and wear that.
II Is pretty and makes me look well,
anyway"
''But these are considered very styl-
ish," said the saleswoman, placing O
little hat on her own head, where It
looked about the size Of q postage
stamp. "They are made like boys
hats, and boys hats and shoes and col
lars are the models for the best styles
this season, you know"

A HORSE THAT SHORES.
KsnsaE city Has a Nag That Is n Curl
OSity in the Animal
Kingdom.

Snoring men are as plentiful as whis-
ky in Kentucky. However, while this
evil is predominant with the human
race, yet it is indeed seldom that
member of the animal kingdom be-
comes afflicted with the snoring habit.
There Is just one case Of the kind known
to exist In Kansas City, Kan, and while
there is no question about the existence
of this one case, the afflicted animal
contracted the habit from man. says the
Kansas City Journal.
Prince, the oldest horse in the Kansas
City (Kan.) fire department, has the
snoring habit, and he's got it bad. All
of the "laddies" at fire headquarters
have good records as snorers, but
Prince can allow them all bad cold and
then peat them out, pulled up. Snor-
ing Prince, or the prince snorer, Is the
horse driven by Assistant Chief William
Mcconnell. lie generally minces away
at his food until after 70 o'clock each
night, providing there are no alarms.
At about this hour he lies down In his
stall, and in a few minutes his eyes
close, and soon thereafter the snoring
begins. The noise produced by the
sleeping horse Is similar to that Of q
snoring man. Before II became known
that Prince actually snored several OF
the firemen, who take turns about
watching at night, were accused of 60
ing TO sleep on duty. The only founda'
tion for the accusation was the snor-
Ing. In order TO prove their innocence
it became necessary for them TO peach
ON prince.

DONE WITH A RIFLE.
The Head OF AN Indian shot Out with
One Hundred and Fifty
Two Bullets.

Adolph Toepperwein, San AntoniO's
marvellous young rifle shot, lately per
formed another of his astonishing
feats. reportethe Philadelphia Record.
With .22-caliber rifle he stood at a
distance Of 20 feet from a double thick
ness Of heavy paper, about three feet
long by two feet wide, and shot on It
the outlines Of an Indians head. 1t
took exactly 152 shots TO do the trick.
It was free-hand drawing, as the figure
was not traced on the paper before
hand. This made the feat especially
difficult, as "Tep" had to place every
shot with reference to where its prede-
cessor had gone, and where all the fol
lowing shots were to go. In other
words, be had to have every detail Of
the drawing" planned out and con-
stantly In bis minds eye while he was
shooting. One shot fired fraction of
an inch wild would have spoiled the
whole picture.
It is not clear whether or no this
marksman is q member of Roosevelt
regiment of rough riders. If he isn't
he ought to be.

DEATH OF MAUD B.

The Result of an Accident on a Smooth
 Pavement-Winner of Several Races
 Much Faster Than Her Record
 Creditable Pedigree of the Trotter.
 Several days ago the brown trotter Maud B., 2:371a, slipped on the Orange street asphalt pavement and injured one leg so badly that Dr. Whitney, the veterinarian, was called to attend her. The doctor discovered that a small bone was so badly broken that treatment was not advisable. Consequently the mare was killed to end her suffering. Maud B. was owned by E. M. Futile of this city who started the trotter in several races in this vicinity, winning considerable money and several oat races with her. The statement has been made that she won five races. The facts regarding her contests are that she was awarded first money in four races. Several horsemen have stated that she won another race in which the judges did not award her first money. In all of her races she won third money or better, which is considered very cred itable, considering the work to which she was accustomed and the limited systematic preparation she received for speed contests.
 Her breeding was Hambletonian- Morgan. She was sired by Waxford 2:261a, he by Hemlock 1229, by Belmont 64, by Abdallah 15, he by Hambleton an Her dam was Lady Bassett by Farmer Boy, he by (Bacons) Ethan Allen 356, by Ethan Allen 43, by Black Hawk Wermont), he by sherman Morgan, one of the best sons of Justin Morgan, a horse that attained much more celebrity than the old schoolmaster for whom he was named. All of the sires mentioned in the foregoing are celebrated in turf history.
 Maud B. was formerly owned by Dr. w. A. DeForest.
