The Flexible Cane.

Some years ago the dude with a
bludgeon was the popular comic repre-
sentation of the man of fashion and his
walking stick. Since then the stick has
been slowly dwindling in girth until
this summer the smart man carries the
lightest and most flexible cane his mon
ey can buy. Many of the canes car
ried are no greater in girth than
woman's index finger, but for exceed
ing f1exibility they are chiefly priced.
The comic papers should no longer rep
resent the dude trying to get the huge
knob of a mighty staff in his mouth.
but his heroic efforts to tie a slender
rod in bow knots about his waist. Little
more than heavy switches are most of
the canes and their surfaces are as
highly vanished as possible, while
heavy buckhorn handles supply the
proper grip at the top.
The rise of the whiplike walking stick
dates from France. where the bicycling
men carried slender hook handled canes
for opening gates, removing impedi-
ments before the wheel and for steady
ing themselves when they might wish
to stop without necessarily dismount>

Modern Courtship Unromantic.

There is something quite idyllic about
the fresh air courtships that are going
on during these latter summer days.
Truly, one would think that the love
fostered by wind and sunshine might
we'll be purer and more enduring than
a, fancy engendered in a ballroom and
aided by dinners, the opera, etc. A
three mile match over the golf links
with a congenial companion, or a tramp
through bog and heather on a shoot
ing expedition before breakfast, are the
roads to matrimony of the summer girl
of 1899. One cannot help fancying that
the human race will be stronger and
better for these methods of wooing.
There is also good comradeship and
congenially implied by such compan-
ionship which seems particularly desir-
able.
These latter day courtships may be
matter of fact, but they are certainly
breezy and altogether delightful, and
the moonlight girl and the piazza girl
of yore possesses no more romantic or
tender memories of the lovemaking of
their youth than our young anlazons of
to-day will have in the years to come

THE NAVAL PARADE.
Active Preparations in Progress on
the Ships of the Squadron.

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Active prep
aratlons are in progress on the ships
of the squadron off Tompkinsville for
the naval parade The fighting ma
chimes are being made immaculate. 1t
is not likely that any visitors will be
allowed on board after Wednesday. Ar
rangements for the squadron's repre-
sentation in the land parade have about
been completed. The executive officer
will be in command of each ships dele
cation of seamen. There will be three
full companies from each ship now off
Tompkinsville, except the Texas, which
will have two companies. There are
fifty-two men in each company Lieu
tenant Commander w. P. Potter will
be in command of the Seamen of the
New York; Lieutenant J. c. Wilson, of
those of the Indiana: Lieutenant Com
mander K. Niles, of those of the Mas
sachusetts; Lieutenant Commander D.
Mahan, of the Brooklyn; Lieutenant
Commander G. B. Harber, of the
Texas, and Lieutenant Commander H.
T. Houston of the Lancaster.
There will be a battalion of four full
companies of marines. The New York,
the Brooklyn and the Massachusetts
will each have a company. The fourth
company will be made up of inen
chosen from the guard of the other
ships. Major Murphy of the Brook
lyn will be in command of the battal-
ion of marines, and Lieutenant Math-
ews of the Brooklyn will be his Adju-
tant.
It is thought that the Marietta the
composite gunboat, which is now at
Boston, will stop here on her way to
Washington, where she has been or
dered to report on October ID She has
been fitting out, and was ordered to
be ready for sea by September 9th, at
the latest If she is to take part in
the parade she will probably arrive
here on Thursday.
The Scorpion, the converted yacht,
now off Cape Ann to accompany the
Kearsarge on her trial trip, will also
it is expected, arrive off Tompkinsville
on Thursday.

CANNOT PARTICIPATE
Would Be Impolitic for a British
REGIMENT to Do So.

TORONTO, Sept. a A special
from Ottawa to the Mail and Empire"
says: The Forty-eighth Highlanders
of Toronto will not be granted permis-
sion TO visit New York to take part in
the reception to Admiral Dewey. The
militia department has not received the
communication from the district COM
manding officer at Toronto for perm;s-
sion TO make the trip. but when it
comes, an answer in the negative will
be returned.
The view held here is that Adn1irat
Dewey is to be the central figure III the
New York celebration yet, after all.
the demonstration really will be a glor-
ification of the United States victories
in the Spanish war. Under the cir
cumstances. therefore, it is considered
very impolitic for a British regiment
TO participate. The pipe oand of the
Royal Scots of Montreal has also been
refused permission to take part in the
proposed demonstration.

not be in physical condition to accept

acute, but of form requiring absolute

The fact has been known to his

ment that his illness is so serious as
to threaten an actual withdrawal from
the duties of his public position. This
illness began with an attack of the
grip in Georgia last spring. He re-
turned thrice to Washington, where he
suffered relapse, being confined to
his house for several weeks. Then he
went to Long Branch and recovered
sufficiently to join his friend, the Pres
ldent, during part of his outing at
Lake Champlain.
Since his return last Tuesday to his
home in Paterson, Carroll Hall, the

THE WOMAN OF THE ANGELUs
How Mi11et's Model Lives in Her
Peasant Cottage at Barbizon.

Barbizon, a little village in the midst
of the forest of Fontainebleau, a short
distance from Paris, has become a
goal of pilgrimage for many admirers
OF Millet's work. and particularly for
those who know that the woman who
suggested to the great painter his fa-
nous picture of "The Angelus still
lives there in a little cottage stones
throw from where she was born. Mere
Adele'S home is a small vineciad cot
tage, in which she lives frugal but
comfortable life, troubled only by the
overinquisitive tourists and by her
rheumatism. She must have been an
attractive woman once, for even now,
although she has witnessed the passing
of more than three score years and ten,
there are traces of former beauty in her
Wrinlzled face.
Mere Adele is a lady, though she has
worn her fingers blunt by toll, and her
form is bent under the burdens she has
had to bear. When she looks ut you her
smile is like a benediction. and the
beautiful things of earth are not lost
upon her. Her manner is cheerful. as
one who feels she has not lived in yain.
If questioned closely she will tell you
of the day when the great artist came
through the dense forest with his wife
anG children, leaving behind him the
gay city of Paris with its schools of
painting and its models. She knows O.
great deal of the very nard days which
followed for Jean Francois Millet-the
TOLL the anxiety, the .lisappointments.
She nursed his five children, and did
the little field-work in the garden adj
joining the cottage. When he saw his
nurse-girl, Adele, and her father rev.
erently bowling their heads in i,rayer at
the ringing of the Angelus he conceived
the picture which, if not his best work,
is yet the best known, and the one most
appreciated by the people. Mere Adele
calls herself a child of God. She looks

day in the humble cottage Edward A.

The Union is the strongest of the
Brayton mills, with the possible excep-
ton of Durfee. The directors are
positively against giving options at the
desired price. They make very full
statement of the condition of the COR
poration. This statement practically
closes any possible connection with
Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Company

less the firm comes in again with much
higher prices and undeniable backing.
The public interest has now returned
to the local combination. No exact
plan has been determined upon by the

ton organized under the Massachusetts
law, others favor a sort of local trust
which will allow the present corpora
