A pALMIsTs' PREDICTIONS.


 City and is creating no little in- terst reading the hands, or palms of prominnet people. He recent ly read Kansas Cities left palm and at a meeting of the Manu lecturers Association as a guest, he gave as d result of his readings the following predictions:
 ''l predict that your association will soon have 300 firms as mem bers and 1 1000 individual members. That the association will soon have a home of its own-a permanent exhibition place-a continuous home product show-a commercial library and a meeting place for members; That the associations motto, Made In Kansas City, U. $. A., will soon be as well known in the Orient as it now is in the Occldent.
 II further predict that because of the efforts of the manufacturers and of the press, Kansas City will soon be the largest city between the Mississippi and tho Pacific ocean.
 II predict that the next prcsi- dent of the United State will be nominated in Kansas City"
 Now we arc something of a palmist, though we have never admitted it before, and propose to read Miss Mena's palm. Miss Mena; your left hand please. An, your life line is very distinct, and extends to and around the wrist. You will live to be very old and retain full possession of your faculties always. There will not be any sickness come to your life. Not only is your life line clear of any indication of sickness but your high position near the Mount of Mena is such that you cannot have any serious sickness. You will continue to grow, and will become quite round in ap- pearance but will always remain active and full of life. Yes, you will become very wealthy. 1 see that your investments in mcrcan- tile and manufacturing enterprises as we'll as in fruit and agricultural persuits, also that your invest ments in mines and lands will bring you vast sums of money and cause you to be envied by others. The shape of your thumb indicates that you have strong will power and good reason; your fore finger gives indication of possessing a good mind and that you will readily become splendidly educat- cd. You will become noted for your attainments in art and music and will exccll in oratory. You have a good heart line and are generous to fault but you should watch your servcnts and see that they do not spend your money too lavishly while you are young, at least without asking your advise and consent.
 No, Miss Mena, you will never marry. It is true Fort Smith IS beging to cast shy glances in your direction and talks about what a nice kid you arc getting to be but i see by some cross lines in your palm that you are not going to forget the fact that when you were little red faced baby, the big fellow stuck up his nose at you-said you were rough and uncouth-and wern't bit pretty or in any way worthy his notice, in fact never could amount to any thing. While remaining heart free you will continue to grow h wealth, grace, beauty and lovliness, tho admired of all admirers, and always ready to bestow your smiles and fayors upon all alike, even the big booby who could sec no beauty or good in you when you were a baby.

Mr.. Fife and Mr.. Jameson were on

On her reach home the Shamrock did

Cowes, Isle of Wight, July 1S.--On the
actual difference of time of the Sham
rock and the Britannia at the various
points and the times at the finish of to-
days race it does not appear that the
Shamrock has great chance of win
ming the Americas cup. These signs,
however, may be deceptive. 1t was the
opinion OF those who closely watched
the race from the steamer following the
yachts that the Shamrock was never
pushed to her utmost in to-day's trial
and that Mr. Fife. the designer Of the
yacht, who practically engineered the
contest on behalf of Sir Thomas Linton
merely desired to ascertain whether the
Shamrock could show the Britannia
clean pair of heels. He had no desire
to let anyone in on the actual speed of
the Shamrock. The confirmation of the
foregoing opinion is found in the fact
that while the Britannia carried every
possible inch of canvass the Shamrock
was running before the wind from Nab
lightship to the Solent bank buoy and
only lad her jib headed with the topsaiI
and that on the broad reach home from
the Solent buoy the Shamrock lowered

He Initiates Simpson and Is a Firm
Believer in the Faith Cure.
New York World: Boston, Mass
The mayor of this city is sick, so sick
in fact that his friends are greatly
alarmed, but he turns u deaf ear to
all their cntreaties to call u physician,
and trusts to his faith as a Christian
scientist to pull him through. The
mayor has not been to the city hall for
nearly n week.
1t was known that Mayor Quincy
counted several Christian scientists
among his closest circle of friends, but
few if any knew that he himself was a
convert to the faith. He has been run
ming down for some time. Acold drew
heavily upon his vitality, and what is
pronounced to be nervous prostration
is the result. 1t is related that one of
the pecnliarities of the mayor is that
he wears no socks, even in the coolest
of weather. His friends attribute the
cold which finally obliged him to give
up to improper protection in this re-
spect on II of the rainy days. last
week. At q legislative hearing ntgthe
state house on one Of the coolest days
this winter a friend of the mayor no
ticed,tha he was sockless and remon-
strated with him against such fragrant
abuse OF his health, but the mayor
treated the matter lightly.
