A RESTAURANT INCIDENT.
How a Patron Accidentally Made Him.
self Unpopular.

The course of an eXtraVagant and
erring match in a Broadway res
taurant the other night nearly led to
a disaster and as it was succeeded in
spelling the supper hour for two
parties seated at adjoining tables.
They were not acquainted when they
sat down, but succeeding events threw
them into very close and excited rela-
tons for a few moments. At one
table were a man and woman, while
at the next sat two couples. The man
with his companion finished his supper
and scratched match against the box
which the waiter handed to him with
as much Importance as if it were as
valuable as the hand bag taken from
Mrs. Dodge by the custom house Of
fcials on Saturday. The match was
scratched several times without effect
and an emphatic rub ignited it finally.
The head flew off as it lit and landed
comfortably in the lace crown of an
elaborate hat worn by one Of the two
women at the adjoining table. Neither
she nor her companion saw it. So all
were astonished to see an apparently
sane man rise suddenly from his sea-
and knock the hat violently from the
woman's head. 1t sailed into the mid
die of the floor, while the four people
jumped to their feet and one of the two
men in the party made an attempt to
get at the person who had apparently
assaulted one of his companions so
inexplicably. The woman saw the
burning hat first. 1t was not entirely
destroyed, although the feet Of the
waiter who stepped on it to extingufsh
the flames had about finished its USE
fitness for the future
The man who had started the fire In
the hat began to apologize profusely to
the young woman, who was not quite
certain what had happened, as the sud-
denness and vigor of the blow had sur
prised her out Of the genial hu1nor
customary in the restaurant at that

annum, giving a total of 100000 Pc

money yearly to the steamship COM
panies for the carrying trade to and
from the colonies.
Consul Roberts expresses the opin-
ion that Spanish manufacturers and
dealers are not going to give up the
markets Of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines without a struggle. He
also intimates that other nationalities
have in the past participated in the
sO-called Spanish trade with these
islands by locating in Spain and thus
rates into the islands which was orig
inally given to comm cree originating in
Spain. On this subject he says:
I'm the year 1892 the Spanish Gus
toms tariff on manufactured goods was
very considerably increased with the
view of virtually giving a monopoly to
goods manufactured here for exporta-
ton to the colonies; this, Of course,
gave an enormous impetus to manufac-
facture in this province, factories in
creased largely in number and the
Catalan manufacturers grew rapidly
rich. The only way in which foreign
ers who had good clients in the colo
MES could meet this competition and
retain their markets was by starting
factories in this country, the goods
thus manufactured in the peninsula en-
tering the Spanish colonies on the
same terms as those Of the Spanish
manufacturers, whereas if shipped
rom England or elsewhere the prohib-
tive duty rendered competition i'm
possible; or by having a resident agent
n this city who, purchasing from the
Catalan manufacturers, exported the
from here free of duty"

TO ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENTS.
Vassar Girls Have Unique Custom OF
Calling the Roll.

Vassar's recent announcement
brought again to the front a curious
old custom which recurs there each
year, and around which centers the
main interest of the senoir class sup
per, the public announcement OF en-
gagements by those girls who have
been rash enough to wander into
loves young dream during their col
lege course.
For years the class supper has been
selected as the fit and proper place for
this proceeding. After the toasts
have been responded to and the songs
have been sung and the hundred and
one little things done which only col
lege girls would think Of doing, the
class secretary stands up on her chair
and, looking around on the long rows
of faces beneath her in the candle
light, announces that she is going tC
call the engagement roll.
There are always some girls in the
class, of course who have made an opeI
secret of the disposal Of their affections
and have worn their rings without re
serve. The whole college knows abou
them. But there are always some who
| for wise reasons of their own, have
| locked up their romances securely il
| their hearts Woe to such as these.
Every girl is on her honor to tell tn
truth and nothing but the truth, ant
| her secret is bound to be dragged gu
into the candle light for the plaudits o
| the crowd.
It is a pretty sight to see the diner
when the secretary commences to cal
the roll. f Y face in the class is ful

There is much enjoyment over an
engagement. The slurs that have been
cast on college girls are fortunately
not entirely true. No profession is
held higher in esteem by them than
that of a home-maker. Of the class Of
100 which has been out of Vassar col
lege for just two years, 10 are married
and as many more engaged. Twenty
per cent is not a bad record for a class
where the average age is now only %
and where the years Of graduation
have been only two.
If the various secretaries had kept
records Of the number of engagements
announced at senior class supper each
year they say that it would be found
to have increased steadily each year

Ferry after the fight and were used in
a medical college for anatomical pur-
poses. Watson Browns Body was
taken away for the same purpose, but
it was recovered by Mrs. Brown MANY
years afterward. The two whose

MR.. HOGG'S BEARD.
Why 1t No Longer Adorns His Moon
like C1untenance.

When James S. Hogg, formerly gov
ernOr of Texas, numbered into town
last week and went to the Waldorf
Astoria, his friends hardly knew him.
He was just as big, just as breezy, just
as Open-hearted and companiOnable as
usual, but there was a change. His
talk was like that of old time, in that
it was full Of jovial observations and
punctuated with quaint western idioms
The change was in his facial adorn-
ment. The governor, as every one
calls him-and he is known by hardly
any other name-formerIy wore a
beard that rambled all over his face
and completely concealed the budding
good humor that is marked in every
line around his mouth. 1t was a wild,
erratic sort of beard, and seemed 10
Zoe governed by no law. Now he is
clean shaver, and his face beams like
a full, round moon, and his eyes
twinkle with merriment. How he
came to part with his beard is an inter
esting story.
After long neglect the governor one
day decided that he would have his
beard trimmed. To quote his own
words, he "ambled into the finest ton
serial place" he could find. He told
the barber that he wanted to have his
beard trimmed. This barber was a
Frenchman and spoke little English
The governor made him understand
I, NV
words. He said afterWard that he was
an idiot to trust a barber who couldn't
speak English, but in this case he die.
He climbed heavily into the chair,
stretched out his bulky frame, and
promptly went to sleep. The barber
clipped and nipped and the scissors
sang lullaby that made the governor
slumber all the sOunder When he
woke up the barber was grinning and
Sinking and pointing with pride to
his handiwork. The governor gave
one look in the glass and gasped with
astonishment The barber had taken
his beard and trimmed it in the latest
Partisan fashion, with a fine, sharp
point and with all the details of d
Partisan dandy. The governor thun-
dered his anger, but the poor barber
did not understand. The damage was
done however, and there was not get
ting around it. All that could be done
was to shave his face clean, and he
has dispensed with a beard ever since.
Despite the fact that MI. Hogg is a
democrat believes in free silver, and
is a follower of William j. Bryan, he
is something of an epicure and likes to
live we'll 81 stay at the Waldorf-As-

"The beautiful and delicate shades
on the eggs Of birds are not very fast,
especially if they belong to the lighter
class Of colors,'; remarked an ornithol-
ogist to the writer. I'm many in
stances some of the finest and most
characteristic tints of eggs disappear
almost entirely on exposure to light
A common example is the beautiful
pale blue of the starlings egg, which
on exposure to the sunli rht for few
days, loses its clear blueness Of tone
and becomes purpler, approaching
more to a slate tint. Such is also the
case with most of the greenish blue
eggs, like those of many sea birds, tue
common guillements, for instance, the
Beauty of which largely depends on the
clear freshness of it's blue tints. 1t is,
therefore, wise for egg collectors to
keep the glass cases containing all
such specimens carefully covered up
when not being inspected, otherwise
much of the beauty Of tint will be lost
in the course of time. "-Washing

AID TO STREET CLEANING

One Of the angels" who was indus
triously shoveling away at the corner
of woodward and Gratoit avenues, the
other morning, suddenly dropped his
implements and darted away from the
spot as if he had come unawares upon
a nest of hornets. But he had not.
The cause of his unceremonious be-
haviOr was that last delivery wagon
that went by. It bounced and bound
ed on a slight obstruction at the cor
ner, swung around rather quickly, and
a package was dropped out at the back.
When the package struck the pavement
the 'angel," white suit and all.
bounced upon it. The package con-
tanned nothing more or less than
candy. Of course the paper Broke with
the force OF the fall, and the sweets
were scattered over the pavement. Oh.
what harvest. The angel kept both
hands busy raking up the pieces and
stUffing them into his pockets at once,
until they stood out on his clothes like
toOthache-cheeks. But he was not
long to be alone with this precious
Windfall. A flock Of small boys, in the
exact number Of lot Of English spar
rows, sWooped down upon him and
eagerly swept the pavement with him.
Then the driver of the wagon came
back on foot to recover his property.
Alas, there was only a little candy left
in the paper. This he picked up, while
the angel and the sparrows turned
on him faces filled with the utmost
contempt. "The idea," they seemed to
say, ''of man being mean enough to
spoil a good thing like this and pick
ing up the stuff that has once fallen in
to the dirty street" But when the
driver had gone away and the small
boys had dispersed, and the angel had
reluctantly returned to work, it was re-
marked that that part of the street
had never before been so Clean

SARASATE AND HIS IMITATOR.

Of Sarasate, the famous violinist,
pleasant story was told the other even
mig at a reception in Washington
The great master enjoys nothing better
than giving or receiving joke. Some
times his bon mots are trifie savage.
One evening at social function a
young violinist, who had much high
er opinion of his own musical ability
than any one else, had the bad taste to
play one of Saraste's compositions with
variations of his own creation. The
latter were inappropriate and inartistic
and Jared upon the ears of all.
The performer ended his work and
made his way to Sarasate, doubtless
expecting some word of recognition or
praise. Sarasate said nothing and the
player finally said, 81 hope you recog-
nize that piece?"
Sarasate promptly replied. Ger
tainly. It was a piece Of impudencs."

TO DEVELOP THE FIGURE.

Ordinary women who are too busy 20
spend much time on exercises which
beautify the figure will do well to praC-
tice the following method for de-
velopment ard good health: Stand
with the shoulders well thrown back
and fill the lungs slowly with air, hold
ing your breath as long as you possibly
can. Keep your mouth closed, and al
low the air to escape slowly through
your nose. This is easy to do, and the
effects are sure and lasting.
Another exercise is for the arms,
and is quite as simple as the first.
Stretch your arms out in front Of you,
clap your hands and then with sweep
throw them back until you can clap
them at the back as well as at the
front.

hour. The men with her took his
apology with as little grace The
attitude OF the spectators was no more
friendly toward the unfortunate man.
They eyed him disapprovingly and
their conversation was plainly con-
demnatory. He had done the best in
his power to prevent what might have
been the very serious results Of an ac-
cident for which he was not respons-
IDLE, but he had disturbed the enjoy
ment of the restaurant in a way they
did not approve. So he put his cigar
into his pocket, paid his check, stared
detiantly at the tables around him,
and left with his companion. Even
she seemed to feel a certain sympathy
with the sentiment of the restaurant

WHAT SPAIN HAS LOST.
Trade With Former Colonies Was $40,-
100000 a Year.

Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
afforded a market for over $40,000,00O
worth of Spanish goods per annum, ac-
cording to statement Of the British
consul at Barcelona, just received by
the treasury bureau of statistics. About
three-fOurth of this amount was in
manufactured goods and considerably
more than one-half of this MAI ket was
that of Cuba alone.
According to the statement which
Consul Roberts sends to the British
foreign office, dated June IS, 1899, the
exports of Spain to Cuba in 1896
amounted to 1874 ,461 ,675 pesetas; to
Porto Rico. 37.660,S0O pesetas, and to
the Philippines, 3S,357,757 pesetas,
making a total of PIC, 4S0, 241 pesetas,
or, accepting the value of the peseta at
20 cents, S42,096,0 4S. Of the 134, 49,
675 pesetas worth Of goods exported
to Cuba in 1896, S2,652099 pesetas,
according to Consul Roberts, consisted
of manufactures, 50,S50,556 pesetas in
provisions and 959O26 pesetas i'll raw
materials.
Of the 1860, S09 pesetas worth OF
goods exported from Spain to Porto
Rico in 1896, 29,107,977 pesetas was
manufactured goods S,4O1,5 sol pesetas

To this market for S42,000,000 wortl

colonies supplied, Consul Roberts add
23,O00,000 pesetas, or S4,600,000, TO
money paid to the Spanish STEAMSHIP
companies for the carrying trade t

into Spain from the colonies. he says
amounted in 1896 to 260,S77 tons fror
Cuba, 26,071 tons from Porto Rico, an
40,9S5 tons from the Philippines. H
computes that the amount paid i

Between birthdays, the other added,
the saint was left in the loft Of the
saloon, lest the priest get hold Of him
and get a corner on him, as it were.
Once he got him into his possession,
he would not let the people have him
except upon payment Of a fee that
would grow with the years But the
saint belonged TO the people, not to
the church. He was their home pa

him up. In the saloon they had him
safe. Mr.. Roosevelt delighted the
honest villagers by taking five shares
in the sheep, albeit the suggestion
that it might be won by him and
conducted in triumph by the band to
Police Headquarters gave him pause
He trusted to luck, however, and took
chances.
And luck favored him. He did not
win the sheep. The names Of all who
had taken chances were put into a bag
with that Of the saint, and in the
evening drawn out one by one When
the saints name appeared there arose
a great shout The next would be the
winner. Every neck was craned to
read the lucky name as it came out.

with the bag, and there was an an
swering shrek from the third-foor
behind the shrine. The
widow up there had won the prize. !
Such luck was undreamed of. She |
came down forthwith and Rugged the |
sheep rapturously, while the cildren |
