BOY FINED FOR PEDDLING

Twelve-year-old Joseph Friedman. of
No. 1S Cambridge avenue, was arrested
this morning for peddling stationery and
pencils without license. It was said he
was caught in the act of trying to sell
some of his goods TO a woman He
claimed he was but exhibiting samples
of school supplies to be purchased from
his brother, who is in the stationery busi-
ness. Justice Nevin examined the goods
and found he had among other things

He asked why he had to take so many
along as samples. Friedman was fined

| We do not read with pleasure the statement that it is not probable that
 new fagpole can be inserted in the band- stand on the Green when the old
 one is pulled out of the band-stand.
 When that band-stand was built we re-
 joiced in it's beauty, it's symmetry, it's
 grandeur and it's general fitness, but
 we had a foreboding that if it ever should become necessary to insert new tlagpole in it there would be dffi- culty. Our fear was calned by au- thoritative assertions that it would be as easy as pie to make the insertion, and we have ever since been waiting with sharp and ill-concealed curiosity to see 'em do it. It is eaddening to be told now that we must die without the sight. We don't want to, and we hope that if it is true, as stated, that the only way to put up new pole in the place of the present one is to fasten a tackle on to the moon so that the new pole may be drawn up to a point where it can be let down through the center of the band stand, the tackle will be fastened on to the moon. We know of no better use to which .he moon could be put than to help in setting up pole from which the flag of the free could float and to vindicate the creators of a band stand which the moon has gloriously shone upon, even as it shone upon the Grecian ruin which used to be a pure delight further up on the Green.

so-called coolies, Arabs, Malays, and Mohammedan subjects of the Turkish empire" By various steps the doctrine has been evolved that British Indian merchants, no matter how high their caste or social position in British India are to be dealt with as indentured cool ies, and to be removed to the slums out side Pretoria and Johannesburg on sani- tary grounds. Not content with fore ing the Indian merchants to give up their dwelling houses within Pretoria and Johannesburg, the Transvaal gov ernment forbade them even to have their places of business within the towns, thus practically destroying their means of livelihood. Many com- plaints have reached the British Colon ial Office from the victims of this regu- lation, and also from property-owners who have leased their property to Brit ish Indian tenants and have suffered loss by their expulsion, The testimony of the landlords is to the effect that the British-Indan merchants are among the most desirable of tenants, being pe- culiarly cleanly, sober, industrious, and enterprising.

So far as outlines go, duck and picue are made quite as elaborately as this. and most of the or namentation that enters into such cloth gowns can be adapted to the cheaper stuHfs without losing much of its dec- orative value.

 Bangle bracelets have come back, and the tiny rings of silver so much used years ago appear again on youthful wrists, but the newest thing is a jade ring as thick as your little finger and big enough to pass over the hand easily Part of the ring is covered with a scrolled design in gold, and the effect is truly artistic. Green jade, white jade and a gray that is also said to be jade are shown A deep blue stone and malachite for a green are also made into these bracelets. Silver easing and German silver are used as well as gold, and the plated metal is put over imita- ton jade with such good effect that, since these bracelets are a passing mo-
 tion, it is wise to satisfy ones fancy for one without investing in the genuine article. FLORETTE.

RAPID.

These are rapid times, and in some ways they are disturbing times They are disturbing to those who have mon ey invested and who realize that any minute something new which may hurt their property may appear. One of the questions just now is. how is the auto- mobile going to affect steam and elec- tric roads? The result of the long dis tance automobile race in France is sug- gestive. The course was 1,42S miles in length, and the average time of the winner was thirty-one and four-fifths miles an hour. This, it should be urf- derstood, was over country roads and up hill and down dale, the route includ- ing an ascent of more than three thou sand feet. For hill-climbing the six teen-horse-power machines, among which was the successful automobile, showed their superiority to those which could develop only twelve horsepower.
 Thirty-one and four-fifths miles an hour is pretty fast travelling. It is much faster than the trolley cars go, and it is as fast as many trains on the steam roads. Perhaps many passengers and much freight will yet be carried by automobiles. But as the trolley roads haven't destroyed the earning capacity of the steam roads, perhaps the auto- mobiles wont 'bust" both the trolley and the steam roads.

FASHION NOTES.
Hints for the IOpYist.

As it is permissible this year to give to the gown of the simplest wash ma terials considerable trimming the skimping planner has especial excuse for watching closely some of the most expensive of outdoor dresses, There are many features in the costly gowns that may be easily reproduced without great expense and in many cases without ap- preciabe affect on the beauty of the re- suit. Thus, while broadcloth is ma terial in white extravagant dressers have indulged good deal this summer, and they will continue to do so into the fall. A sample of such dresses has a picture here.

With the bobbins he then plays on them as ordinary musicians play on xylophones extracting the tune from the right side ribs and the accompaniment from the left-side ones The upper ribs give the high notes and the lower ones the low notes. E is the key of the first, or topmost rib, and F is that at the bot tom, though Eddie Warp, by stopping off rib with his fingers, as violinists stop off a string, can raise or lower the pitch greatly. Eddie's music is not very loud, but it would easily fill concert hall.

There arc usually al least two sides to every question, and it is beginning to be perceived that the Transvaal question is one of the questions that have more than one side For illustra- tration: Included among the general Outlander grievances in the Transvaal is the treatment of East Indian mer- chants who are British subjects. The Transvaal act of 1885, to which the Brit
 ish government assented, gave the Transvaal government the right to as sign for sanitary purposes certain streets, wards, and locations for habita- tion to persons belonging to one of the aboriginal races of Asia, including the
