Not In Her NiGhtSown.

1t is commonly supposed that when
the tidings of the death of William w
were conveyed to Queen Victoria she
received the archbishop of Canterbury
and those with him in her nightgown.
but the ridiculous nightgown story can
easily be exploded. The mistake orig
mated in one of DisraeIs novels. AS
matter of fact, during the last century
the garment now known as dressing
gown was called a nightgown. and we
read of elderly ladies and gentlemen
walking in their gardens before break
fast in their nightgows. 1t was really
a dressing gown which the princess
donned before receiving the arch
bishop. and it was a pretty one, made
of white cambria. over which her maid
threw a shawl
The archbishop was accompanied by
the Marquis of Conyingham and Sir
Henry Halford. and the difficulty they
experienced In getting admission to
the castle has been likened to the scene
in Macbeth" where the Sleepy and
ungracious porter has been aroused
from his slumbers. 1t was a long time
before the porter would answer the
clamorous summons. though the arch
bishop pealed at the bell. while the
marquis piled the knocker.-Dublin In

A Startling AnnMer.

A Latin professor was explaining the
derivation of our word "ostracize" to
his class in local academy. He told
the story of the early Roman republics
and the scheming of the politicians Of
the times. He related how, when any
man In the republic became obnoxious
to his neighbors, they used to write his
name on an oyster shell Qatin-ostre-
um. she'll, and on the receipt OF a
specified number by the consuls that
man was banished. killed or otherwise
removed in some one of those pleasant
ways the old Romans had. When he
had finished his explanation. he said:
Now, the boy here in the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin
use OF the shell. which was called os-
treumT
The answer he expected was far
from what be got, for the little student
with spectacles in the front seat arose
and delivered himself thus:
From the Roman habit or using
shells to get the best of people. we de-
rive the present Coney Island shell
game, which is fascinating and cost
ly sport."-Brooklyn Times.

Lord Russell of killowen, the chief
justice of England. was up in London
for few days last long vacation, and
having nothing to do after the morn
ing accepted a friends invitation to
lunch at his club. After luncheon a
scratch rubber was with difficulty got
together. very few members being in
the town. The fourth man, a young
subaltern in the guards. only Joined
after mentioning that he played a very
poor rubber. Unfortunately the chief
cut him as partner. several times in
succession. At first he only fdgeted a
little and made one or two mild in
quiries. But after something extra
diabolical his lordship broke out with.
Il really think, sir. you are playing
badly on purpose to annoy me-"
''Oh, shut up!' said the soldier. How
can any fellow play when you keep
jawing at him?" Lord Russell, with
quiet dignity, observed. Il don't think
you know to whom you are speaking,
sir"
''Oh. yes. do" said the warrior. You
are the lord chief justice. but you're
not in your blooming police court
now." Tableau.

A Mad Monarch. Freak.

AT the time the malady of Ludwig
III, the mad king of Bavaria, was at its
worst he gave orders that so OF his
finest horses should be put in the best
condition possible for a race" writes
Professor ]. II. Gore in The Ladies'
Home Journal. when the report
came that no further improvement
could be made, he had them brought
into an open field where every conceiv-
able form of noise making device had
been stationed.
THE horses were tied to posts, and
the king from an elevated stand gave
the signal that started the flare OF
trumpets. the booming of cannon, the
firing of bombs and other outlandish
noises. The horses reared. plunged.
struggled to get free, and finally break
ing loose started in the widest of gal
lops from this bedlam. But toward
whatever corner of the field they fed
they were stopped by noises just as
terrifying and sent to another quarter
to be frightened again and again.
when the horses became too tired
to run well. the king found the specta-
Gle uninteresting and ordered the orgy
TO cease. By this cruel freak the royal
stables lost n number of their most
valuable animals

A Residence Burned.

The fire boys had fire works
display on their program for the
entertainment Of their guests at
the picnic grounds Friday night
Instead however of the program
being correct the alarm of fire was
sounded in the city about ten
O'Clock, the spot was easily loca
ted, as the blaze shot up. 1t
proved to be the residence owned
by James A. Bivens and occupied
by s. w. Bond, just south of
Frank Frensley's place. We are
told that no one was on the place
and had not been since noon.
Mrs. Bond is visiting in Texas,
and Mr.. Bond had locked the
doors at noon.
Parties first reaching the house
had to break down the doors to
gain admission. 1t was at once
seen that the building and contents
were doomed and very little house
hold goods were saved.
The loss of Mr.. Bond is estima-
ted at 5000 with $500 insurance.
Mr.. Bivens valued the building at
$3.50, it was insured for $3.50.
A number of boys and young
men did heroic work in saving a
house adjoining on the north, they
worked in heat and almost in the
flames, but faltered not, and sue
ceeded in ther effort.
Mr.. Bivens will rebuild.

supposed also that the dispatch con-
tanned a full statement of the events
at Iloilo, reported i'm the press dis
patches. but its text was not made

natives OF the Philippines should learn
as soon as possible the true attitude
of the United States government with
respect TO them-that Of friendship and
consideration. entirely with a view to
the betterment of the conditions which
have heretofore existed under Spanish
rule. IL Is realized here that the ISL
snders are naturally suspicious regard
ing the entrance into their country and
domain over them of a foreign people
and are anxious to know their inten-
tions. They are TO be given to under
stand. said an official OF the admins
tration tonight. that the authority OF
the United States is to be asserted over
them, but at the same time General
Otis instructions are TO treat them
