GAVE "DIXIE'' DINNER.
Original Feast of the Fellowship Club
of Chicago.

Chicago, March 7.-Fel1owship club
members and their friends enjoyed "A
Dinner in Dixie without going any
further away than the banquet hall at
Kinsley's last night. The setting of the
room was typically southern. The
guests entered by a gang plank such
as is used on Mississippi river steam
boats. Palmetto trees stood in the cor
ners. The walls were decorated with
painted scenes on canvas from life in
various parts south of Mason and Dix
on'S line. At the further side stood a
log cabin supposed to represent the
''cOok Shanty'' on plantation.
When the chef rang the guests up
from the parlors to the banquet hall
and led the way the guests had placed
before them large menu cards, with a
little darby holding above him the
skeleton of an umbrella Autographed
on the cover. Further to carry out the
suggestion two dice, with numbers up
permost, making together the magic
number Z, for which white crap shooters
are always on the watch, appeared
alongside the menu proper.
AS the guests entered the room they
heard strains from a string orchestra
of dusky musicians. The orchestra and
the Winslow Sisters quartet furnished
music at intervals all through the even
ing'S entertainment.
The viands to which the attention of
all were presently directed might have
been prepared by some of the famous
pldnIdLlOn COOkS OIL the SOulH AAICL
blue points came chicken gumbo after
the New Orleans method. Then the low
ing cup was passed around. AS the sec
rotary, F. Willis Rice, called the names
each took a draught. One of the guests
was John S. Miller, the new president
of the Union League club. Mr.. Rice
called the name and, turning to the
president of the Fellowship club, Mel
vile E. Stone, who sat at the head of
the table, he added, with marked en-
phasis:
Stone, you know him.
This reference to the late Union
League election, at which Mr.. Stone had
been the rival candidate for president,
evoked general laughter, in which Mr..
Stone Joined.
John J. Mitchell was introduced as
1.-The president of a one-story bank with
a ten-story capital
Charles A. BigeIow entertained the
merry gathering with THE Table
D'Hote Song" and Anna Held sang
several of her favorite songs. Both re-
ceived their share of applause.

ROME SMILES PATTI.
The Aged Bride Seems to Want All
the World to Know How
Happy She Is.

Rome, March 7.-Baron Cederstrom
and his bride, the divine Patti, are at
the Quirinal hotel
The baron and baroness are a most
devoted couple indeed. The exuberant,
ostentatiOus, kittenish happiness of the
baroness makes their fellow guests
smile. She evidently desires everyone
to know that she is a bride.
The baron is not so anxious to at
tract attention and occasionally wfnces
under the amused glances evoked by
her playful attentions in public. They
intended originally to return by the
Riviera, but Patti vows she will never
go there again since she learned that
the modern marriage car at the Nice
carnival was an obvious skit on her
third entry into the holy state of mat
rimony.
The baron, when shown by a CORES
pondent at the Quirina1 hotel today a
printed statement that he had become
acquainted with Patti by acting as her
masseur, burst into an indignant de-
NAL. 1T is a falsehood,' he said. Il
met the baroness at Paunot profession
ally. She visited the Swedish gynnas-
ium where 1 was engaged; but 1 sup
pose these tales must be created about
one SO illustricus as she is.

Backworth club is the visible response.
The club is a settlement opened in

tance of the Bodleian library and all

Mrs. Vrooman is a Baltimore lady
whom Mr.. Vrooman met while engaged
in a reform movement there. She is
wealthy and thoroughly in sympathy
with her husbands work, giving freely
of her money for it's furtherance and be-
lieving that they shall be able to ac-
complish much for humanity. Her in
come is said to be between SIS, 900 and
$50 900 a year and all of it is devoted to
the furtherance of her husbands plans.

MUMMY PHOTOS IN VOGUE.
Parisians Like Them astellane Has
an Ambition.

Paris, March IA Paris photographer
has introduced novel style of taking
photographs, which is having a great
success. He calls it Mummy Pho
tography."
The subject is swathed in mummy
cerements, put into a genuine sar-
cophagus imported from Cairo, and pic
tured in an upright position.
A smiling, living face, looking out
from embroidered grave clothes, gives
an odd effect.
No actress salon is complete without
counterfeit presentment of her own
mummy.
Count Boni de Castellane appears to

is a model French father, passing most
of his time with his children. The count

years ago, and all the old buildings, with
their old-fashioned French colonial
architecture, have one by one followed
until now a few ruins overhanging the
river are all that remain of what was
once city of $4,000 inhabitants, the cap

state.
The church of Kaskaskia has been
torn down and removed for several
years, and last fall the ground upon
which it once stood was washed away.
The old graveyards, three in number,
contained thousands of KaskasIia dead,
but most of the bodies were disinterred
and lemoved to new cemetery on the
bluffs opposite the old town, through
the efforts of ex-senator Rickert, who
introduced bill for the purpose in the
Illinois legislature, and they now rest
where the waters cannot reach them.
Many which were left behind were
washed out by the river.

idea would be a capital one, but no one

and suggested that she and Reuter- be

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Practical Experiments to Be Made by
Paris Inventor.

Paris, March 7.-Sig Maroon, the in
ventor of wireless telegraphy, gives
correspondent the following account of
the progress of his system:
Il have just received official permis-
sion from the French authorities of an
experiment between Dover and Calais
or Folkestone and Cape Ceris NeZ. The
vertical conductor I use is the main
feature of my system. I have found
that distance to which signals may be
sent varies according to the square of
the length of its conductor Thus If
conductor so feet high could be used
for signaling over a distance of 10 miles
1 am confident that one ia feet high
would be sufficient to enable commune
cation to be established between Folke-
stone and Boulogne-32 miles.
when such a vertical wire was en-
ployed no hindrance to signaling was
caused by hills or other obstacles, or by
the curvature of the earth.
LAS to preventing messages sent from
one station being read at stations other
than the one for which it is intended,
something can be done with syntonizing
devices, the two instruments not re-
spending to each other unless properly
tuned.
by means of refectors, too, an al
most straight beam of electric rays
could be projected in any desired direc-
ton. 1 found that at a distance of a
mile and three-quarters a receiving in
strument failed to act if more than
so feet to the right or left of the sup
posed center line of the beam.
rms 1acC might be applied to the
guidance of ships in thick weather.
with refiectors I have not sent sig
nails more than two miles. The most
attention has been given to the vertical
wire system, but I am of the opinion
that it is possible to go much further
in this way.
Between Alum Bay and Bourne
mouth, and later between Poole and
BOurnemOuth, distances IA and Is miles
respectively, signals have been regular
ly exchanged, and the experience of IA
months showed that no kind of weather
in England could stop the working of
the apparatus.
'One of the most interesting and val
liable experiments was the installation
fitted up last autumn between the Royal
Yacht Osborne and Osborne House dur
ing the Prince of Wales illness This
gave opportunity of studying the effect
of intervening hills, and as the yacht
moved about to various positions in the
waters, doubts were set at rest as to
the possibility of telegraphing across
long stretches of land.
Communication between light ships
and shore is a matter of great import
ance. The wireless system between
South F'oreland lighthouse and East
Goodwin lightship, a distance of twelve
miles, worked all through the recent
storms without interruption, showing
itself even more trustworthy than land
vVireS.''
