ASToNISHEO THE DoMiNIES.
Sensational Result of Fancy Dress Cos
tune at a Ministerial Gathering.

From the Philadelphia Post.
Judge E. 3. Martindale of Indianap-
OIL Ind, owns one of the hands0mest
residences in that city-a large stone
mansion hidden from the street by a
thick grove of trees. 1t was in this
house that one of the most exciting
functions ever known in the hoosier
capital took place many years ago, the
true story of which is now printed for
the first time. The judge, who was one
of the leaders of society and at the
same time was a pillar in the Presby
terrain chul oh. had issued invitations
for a fancy dress ball, which at the
last moment he had to withdraw be-
cause CT the presence in this country
of a large body of Presbyterian dele
gates from Great Britain on their way
to an international conference in the
West.
They were to be entertained at the
judges on the night set for the ball. 1t
so happened that every guest received
his notice save one, merchant named
Woodward, who was on a trip through
the Northwest. 1t also happened that
Mr.. Woodward had hit upon the most
startling disguise of any planned. He
had bought a complete costume of a
Sioux war chief and intended making
W as nearly like the original as pos
sble.
Mr.. Woodward did not return to In
dianapols until the evening fixed for
the ball. and, therefore, to save time
put on his costume at his office and
drove TO the Martindale residence in mis-
carriage. which he dismissed at the
gate Through the trees and shrub
berry he glided stealthily until he
reached the house. Looking through
the window Mr.. Woodward saw some
persons whom he knew and many of
whom he did not, but every one was
in ordinary evening dress.
"They've unmasked," soliloquized the
war chief, but I'll have my fun just
the same" Thereupon, stepping upon
a ledge, he made one spring through
the open window and landed in the
center of a group of Scotch delegates,
meantime brandishing a genuine toma-
hawk and uttering shrill and blood
curdling WarwhoopS.
The effect was astounding to the
masquerader. Some of the guests
tainted. others crept under the tables
and sofas or fled to the upper stories
of the house. 1t took an instant for
Mr.. Woodward to discover that a ter
rible mistake had been made. In order
to preserve his identity and make his
escape he gave few more whoops
executed fearful dance and darted out
of the window into the darkness.
1t was explained to the foreign guests
that one of the Indianapolis Ind an
tribes was evidently restless, but that
no further trouble need be feared. AS
for Woodward his side of the story
was not known for nearly Il years aft
erward.

by themselves, and then a queer-look-
ing old Jap, with a great magnifydng
glass fastened in front of his eye and
wee sharp tools handy, reached down
under the water and cuts off the tails
of the plain little fish, and then three
or four of these tails are Joined on to
the backbone where the one was cut off
and fastened there with tiny bandages
until they grow fast.
The Japanese, who are very skilful in
queer things of this kind, grow the
finest goldfish in the world, and it is
very good business for very fine fish
of this kind often bring as much as
$500 to $500, and one sold not long ago
in San Francisco for $1,000.

A Narrow Escape.

w Stables, a miner employed at the
Colusa- Parrot mine, had a narrow es-
cape from serious injury last night.
While helping to push a heavy car on
the 900 level the car stuck, and Stables,
stepping back to brace himself, stepped
into a Wine and fell 35 feet. He was
taken out unconscious, but gained his
senses on reaching the surface, and
on reaching st. James hospital it was
found that no bones We're broken and
that his injuries consisted of a number
of Commissions about the back, limbs and
head, which were very mild considering
his fall

Fish with Duplicate Tails.

Nearly everyone has seen the pretty,
bushtail goldfish that have four or five,
or sometimes more, long, wavy, filmy
tails, but very few people know that
very few of them are born that way.
When the little goldfish are very, very
young, their flesh is as clear as glass,
so that one can see every bone in their
tiny body. At this time the few that

FOR NY LADY.

Several shades Of one color are TO be
worn on evening dresses,
\ curious novelty originating in
Paris Is striped cloth gown with
checked sic ewes.
Velvet CT cloth applique upon cloth
are to be the idols Of the coming sea-
son and it is rumored tnat nounces
upon the skirts and capeS are to go.
There are two shades recognized by
authorities for coats. One will be
three-quarter length with the basque
fitting tightly on the hips: the other
will reach just three inches below the
waist.
Jewels are to be more popular than
ever this autumn. We are to have
rings on our fingers and chains on our
toes in the greatest profusi0n. while
pearls are to be essential to the winter
costume. The enthusiasts will wear
two rows OF these fastened in front of
their hair, with a Louis Seize bow Of
black ribbon velvet.
The really wise woman will supplv
herself at once with a black dress
trimmed with many lines of silken
hraiding; the skirt of this might be
crossed on the left hip and outlined
with scallops down one side and on the
edge of the shaped fiounce. With a
short coat this should have a scalloped
basque and collar, and the shoulder
pieces should be cut in one with small
epaulets.

Expansion

Mr.. Bryan talked against expan-
sion at the Duckworth Club banquet
recently and he covered the whole
question when he said:
"We entered the Spanish war as
peace-makers. Imperialists have
an indistinct recollection that a
blessing has been promised to the
peace-makers and also to the meek,
but their desire for more territory
has perverted their memories so as
they recall the former; it reads,
BLESSED are the peace.makers, for
they shall inherit the earth.
Annexation cannot be defended
upon the ground that We shall find
a pecuniary0pro6t in the policy.
The advantage which may come to
few individuals who hold the
offices or who secure valuable fran
chises cannot properly be weighed
against the money expended in
governing the Philippines, because
the money expended will be paid by
those who pay the taxes, We are
not yet in position to determine
whether the people of the United
States as a whole will bring back
from the Philippines as much as
they spend there"

Weather Indications.

Precipitation, centering over
Te1arkana, with laundering and
lightning. Indications are good for
swollen streams, wet feet, croopy
children, sobby weod aud cross
nother-iu-laws. We can also ex-
pect a fearful death rate among
our aldermen of reelection, and the
damning Of many souls for the CURSE
words aimed at the mud. This
spell Of wet will cause the receipts
of our merchants to fall of and no
line of goods will be in demand ex-
cept rubber shoes, mackintoshes
and umbrellas. The street cars
will do a rushing business along
about meal time and after this
their receipts will fall off like the
scales did from Montejo's eyes when
Dewey crowned himself king of the
May in Manila bay on the eyentful
first. We can also expect the Iron
Mountains to be late, the telegraph
wires to be grounded and the tele.
phone lines crossed.

Fourteen delegates from Arkan-

held in st. Louis to arrange for the
centennial celebration of the pur-
chase of the Louisiana territory
from France by the United States
in 1903. The convention decided
that the celebration should be held
and agreed upon st. Louis as the
proper place in which the great
event should be celebrated. In cali
ing the roll of delegates ON the
question of selecting the place for
the celebration to be held dele
gate from each state expressed his
opinion on the subject. When Ar
kansas was called Hon. Frank Hill
made felicitous response in which
he took occasion to put in a few
words for his state. "If l were of
the opinion" he said, chat the ex-
position should be held in the state
of the greatest natural resources,
and where the people are the most
hospitable, l would favor locating it
in Arkansas. But inasmuch as we
think it should be held in the me-
tropolis of the purchase, Arkansas

OUTPUT OF the Klondike.

No one will ever know exuctly
how much gold was taken from the
Klondike fields the past season.
Since the English government inn
posed royalty, the miners have
adopted all sorts of ruses to
eyade the law, 1t is rather difficult
to dodge taxes, but it is more diff
cult to dodge bad cold and the
grip at this time of year. When
the system is weakened by such at
tacks, and the blood becomes thin
and impoverished, the best medicine
to take is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. This remedy builds up the
system. Besides regulating diges-
ton, it overcomes constipation, 1t
is good for the kidneys and liver,
too, stimulating these organs into
the proper performance of their
functions. Nothing is so good for
malaria,
