FANCY DRESS PARTY
MRS. PERKINS, DANCING CLASS
ENDS WITH A PRETTY PARTY.
BEAUTIFUL COSTUMES THERE
Grand March Was Led by Miss Marian
Hale and Master K1pp-Many Parents
of the Children Present-Some of
the Costumes Worn.

Mrs. Perrin closed the term of her
dancing school Saturday afternoon with
a fancy dress party at Simmons Hail.
The class this year has been made up
chiefly of younger children, and it was
a very pretty sight to watch the little
boys and maidens in their fancy cos
TUNES. Fond mothers and admiring
friends sat and looked at every move
ment of the youngsters in whom they
were specially interested and it was
easy to see to what mother any little
one belonged.
Long before 9 O'Clock, the hour set
tor the party, the mothers had their
children ready. When the hour ar
rived the hall was we'll filed with
dancers and spectators, who sat along
the walls and looked down from the
gallery.
The music was furnished by five
pieces of the Lindsey orchestra from
Waukegan. When the opening march
struck up the procession, headed by
Miss Marian Hale and Master Kipp,
formed at the south door and marched
around the room. Fairies, BO-peeps
and flower girls walked with dudes,
Spaniards and Quakeresses. The
march soon broke into two step and
the dancers went whirling off with all
kinds of Kaleidoscope effects.
During the afternoon Miss Birdie
Perrin gave an Exhibition of fancy
dancing and twoSlittIe girls from Wau-
kegan danced several pretty figures
together. One of the prettiest dances
was the Highland Schottische danced
by the class. Several german figures
were given and the guests were invited
by members of the class to join in the
dancing.
The afternoon sped quickly away,
and at 4:30 came the closing march.
Good bye was said to Mrs. Perrin, and
the winter dancing school was at an
end. Mrs. Perren deserves credit for
the good work that she has done with
the children, for most of them dance
prettily and even the smallest have
learned to dance the twO-step.
Three little girls were dressed to
represent flowers. Elizabeth Whitaker
was a sunfOwer; Margaret Allen a
bluebell and Beth Chalfant daisy.
Marie Bates was 30 Peep; Marion Hale
a flower girl; Edith Miller Spaniard;
Persis Dewey, quakeress; Ethel
Frost and Hilda Bohmrich were Nor
man peasant girls; while Misses Barr
and Brister were dressed as fairies;
Emily Lyman was Vatican girl; Miss
Birdie Perrin wore an elaborate CO.'S
tune of the French court.
Many of the little girls did not
attempt fancy costumes, but looked
very sweet in muslin gowns. Only
three boys wore fancy dress-Robert
and Webster Whitaker and Bonnie
Eichelman.

ATHLETICS DEFEAT THE ENGLE-
WOOD CYCLE CLUB, OF CHICAGO.
SCORE A SHUT OUT
But Bad Luck in the Ninth Inning Allowed
One Chicago Runner to Score
Athletics Played a Most
Brilliant Game.

The KeuOsha Athletics won their
seventh victory of the season Saturday
night at Simmons hall, defeating the
strong team representing the Engel-
wood wheelmen, of Chicago, by score
of eight to one.
The Englewood team is one of the
strongest teams in the Chicago Cycling
league, and on Thursday night de-
feated the Oaks, champions of Chica-
go, by score of 5 to 3.
With such a team opposed to the
Athletics the game drew one of the
largest crowds of the season, and those
who were present will never doubt the
ability of the local players to hold and
defend the title of the champions of
the lake shore, The playing of the
| Athletics was the fastest ever seen in
Kenosha, and their opponents put up
a finer game than any visiting team
which has played here this year.
Mcclellan pitched faultless game and
was given almost faultless support in
the field. The visitors were able to
secure but two hits off the speedy
pitcher and one of these was of the
decidedly scratch order.
On the other hand, Sample, who
pitched for the visitors, proved an easy
mark for the heavy batters of the Ke-
nosha team. He had pitched here
only week before for the Woodlawn
club, and the home team were not
slow to take advantage of the expert
ence gained in that game.
Herman, the new member of the
team, who is rapidly becoming favor
tie with the rooters, led the batting
list with three clean hits one of them
being double base hit. CantWell
made his usual home run at an oppor-
tune time, bringing in the first two
runs. The Chicago boys seemed very
deficient in stick work, and twenty of
them we're retired by strike outs, while
Hemmingway made their only clean
hit, in the fifth inning.
The boys started in to win and it was
evident from the start that they were
out for victory, but they should not
have allowed the visitors to score.
After playing the steadiest kind of ball
for eight innings and only twice allow
ing a man to reach third base they
became impatient to finish the game
and as a result in the ninth inning
catcher Harkin missed two third
strikes and with the assistance of two
sacrifice hits one of the Chicago men
crossed the rubber.
With the exception of two errors
the game was faultless and it is safe tt
say that no indoor team in Wisconsin
ever played such winning ball as the
KenOsha Athletics are now playing and
they should have the support of the
entire city in furnishing such excellent
winter sport.
Next Saturday evening the home
team will! cross bats with the Illinois
Cycling club, which is another of the
strong indoor teams of Chicago.
The teams lined up as follows:

 Scot1and's Fish Law.

A Royal sturgeon has been caught in the 0use, near Goblet, Scotland. It's capture has raised an interesting aues- ton. As the law now stands all large fish-such as whales, sturgeon and for merly porpoises-if captured within the three miles limit of the coast are royal fish and are claimed by the coastgnard or the customs on behalf of the crown. In the event of the sturgeon being particularly fne specimen, it is forwarded to the queen. The law in Scotland ln regard to whales is the same as in England, and in a contested case in the Scottish courts the law was laid down by Lord ErslIine that whales when large be- long to the sovereign, when small to the captor.

Firs Department chanlains.

The New York fire department is to be equipped with ehaplains, just the same as a regiment of soldiers. The officials consider that it is as necessary to have chaplains at fires as it is to have them accompany troops to the firing line in time of battle Loss of life at fires is sometimes very heavy, as was recently shown here There should always be some one present to administer spiritual consolation. Fire Commissioner Scannel has appointed two chaplains for the department They will hold the rank of chief of battalion, and will perform the same duties as chaplains in the army, in all cases &C., eompanying their battalions into ac- tion. The only distinction between ar my chaplains and fire chaplains is that the latter will receive no compensation for their services.-New York Corres- pondence Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE STORY OF A PEARL.
Interesting History Of Ono Exhibited
 in Cincinnati.


 A pearl valued at sl0,000 is on ex. hibition in a jewelry store window in Vine street. Nor is the pearl with out a history. Mr. Smith purchased it from Julius Pedrazolli, a descend ant of the royal house of Italy. The pearl is over 100 years old and its story is an interesting one. A party of pearl divers were plying their trade i'll the waters of the East Indian seas. 4 sudden commotion among the work CTS told of the presence of their dead ly enemy, man-eating shark All but one escaped, and his companions were mortified as they watched the poor fellow struggling in the water, unable to render him assistance. By great ef- fort they succeeded in rescuing the upper part of the body from the vo- raeious fish and bore the mangled re- mains to the house of the grief-strfck- en parents. The day before the bur ial this almost priceless pearl was found in the mouth of the dead man, The pearl was sold to Koloko q na- tive chief, and for many years remain ed in the royal family Of the tribe. In 1880 Julius Pedfazolli. an Italian traveller, saw the pearl, and, attracted by it's perfect shape and beauty, he bought it from the tribe, together with the crude gold setting and ring mada by the native jewellers Mr. Smith purchased it from Pedrazolli and claims that the pearl has no equal in the United States. The pearl weighs 46 grains, and in daylight it's beauti- ful hues are dazzling Cincinnati ommercial-Tribune.

BLIND MAN AT THE RACES.
As Interested and Excited as Those
 Who Can See.

Who Can See.
 T was out at the race track one day last winter, said merchant, when l was aeeosted by man who was holding the hand of little boy. It was a former friend, whom I had not seen for years and who had become totally blind. He told me that he rec ognized my voice, and while we stood there talking the bell rang from the track. They're going to start,' he ex- claimed, excitedly. sComei Let's get into the grandstand as quickly as we eanD After We secured seats couldn't help expressing surprise at his eager ness. Oh, that's all right he replied abstraetedly. T bet m get nearly as much out of it as you do, and after watching him through the next race became convinced that he was telling the truth. To begin with, he fired a Yolley of short, sharp questions at the boy, and in that way obtained a good general idea of the situation. Then he leaned forward like a man about to spring. 1 never saw such an attitude
 
 To say that he seemed to be listening doesn't begin to express it. He seemed to be literally absorbing everything that was going on around him. His chin was lifted, his lips were a little apart, red spot came and went on his cheeks, and l could see the big veins Ill his neck throbbing like an engine. It was an uncanny spectacle. I couldn't get rid of the feeling that he was exercising some unnatural, super human faculty After the race was run he dropped back relaxed. and sat there 1istless and inert until the next tap of the bell. Later, when we were in the street car, tried to learn some thing of his experience. He smiled goodnaturedly, but found difficulty in making me understand. T get lot of pleasure out of the races, he said, and can follow some of them almost as well as If l had my sight. 1 can't tell ex- actly how it is done. I suppose my brain has become trained to catch hum dreds of little cues-the shouts of the people on the track, the exclamations of the crowd, the cheers and laughs and groans and curses, the chance re- marks of passers; yes, even the chatter Of feet-everything means something to me, and although it builds up a pie ture in my mind, feel it somewhere in the air, and I get so excited that for get all about being blind. Oh! no,' he said, I wouldn't miss the races for anything New Orleans Times Democrat.

RUSSIA ABREAST OF THE TIMES Frauds in the instruction of the si-
 berian Railway.

It Is not known that those in charge of the construction of the Siberian railway were ever under the tutelage of the members of the American Credit Mobilier, but, judging by reports that come from that region, they would have been apt pupils. They certainly have trick or two that would put their American compatriots to the blush. It appears that the different works have been executed in man. her that shows very little conscience. Everything, or nearly everything, will have to be done over again before the authorities can think of throwing open this gigantic line to regular working. In very many places the road gives way on the passage of a train little heavier than usual or travelling at a speed of more than twenty miles an hour, and accidents more or less grave are continually happening. More than usual courage is demanded of any one undertaking a journey on this rail- way. This construction Ia Russe has already swallowed Up hundreds of mill
 
 truthfully, the constructors and not the construction have absorbed the millions. People are beginning to ask how it will finish. There is still more. Several Siberian journals, which are, moreover, closely controlled by the local censors, publish the following statements: For several months the n d in cash despite the terms of their contracts. The engineers in charge, who represent the government, de- elared that they had no more money and the contractors must be satisfied with bonds, which the Siberian and Chinese banks have for some time discounted at 81@ per cent. Frequently these bonds were not paid on falling due, and in consequence the banks re- fuse to act any longer as intermedia ries between the government engineers and the contractors. It was only when one of these engineers, Prince A, who had made a fortune, undertook to be personally responsible to the banks that they resumed the functions of discount brokers. But the princes guaranty is somewhat costly, seeing that he claims little fee of 15 per cent. The contractors are furious, but they find themselves helpless, owing to the clause inserted in all the con tracts to the effect that disputes be- Sween the engineers and the contract ors of the line have to be settled in St. Petersburg. To lodge a complaint 6,000 miles from the spot where the circumstances have occurred is at least inconvenient and would entail years delay. The position of the unfortu- nate nayyies themselves can be imag- ined from the treatment Of the con tractors. Their wages are paid very irregularly and always with deduc- tions. Badly fed and badly lodged, it is not surprising if they give only half a heart to the work
