FAMILY OF EN0INEERA
Long and Faithful Railroad Service Of
All Of Them.

Long and Faithful Railroad Service of
All Of Them.
Michael w. Regan, who was killed In
the wreck OF the fast bound mail train
Of the Lake Shore at Westfeld on
Wednesday, May 23, was one Of the
best known locomotive engineers in
this part Of the country. He was In
the employ Of the Lake Shore for q
generation, and always enjoyed the
confidence Of the of1cials of the line
as man who could make the time
and do careful, conscientious work.
Regan began railroading as q fireman
In 1858 on the State line work train of
the old Buffalo & State Line road, at
terward extended to Erie, and called
the Buffalo G Erie. and finally merged
Into the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern. In 1866 he got his step and
took the throttle of switch engine at
Dunkirk. The next year he ran the
work train at Silver Creek, and on
July l, 1869, he went on the road as a
freight engineer. In 1880 he was pro-
noted to a passenger run, and up to
his untimely end piloted the passenger
trains of the Lake Shore in winter and
summer. Regain came from a family
OF engineers. His brother, Thomas
Regain, has the opposite run on the
companion train. His brother, James
Regan, who died a short time ago,
was an engineer on the Lake Shore,
and another brother, Edward Regain,
Is an engineer the Lehigh Valley.
His son, Francis Regan, is an engineer
on the Lake Shore, and his two broth
ers-in-law also run on the same road.
In Regan's career Of thirty-four years
as a locomotive engineer he had but
three accidents, and none was the re-
suit Of his fault or negligence. He had
the reputation Of making uniformly
good runs, and the train he was taking
out when killed is one of the fastest
mails in the country.-Buffalo Ex-
press.

tary influence that renders 1t especially
smart. AS Illustrated the May Manton
model is made from fine broadclOth in
rich brown, with vest of cream white
and trimming of brown braid edged
with white, but all suiting materials
are suitable, vicuna and Venetian
cloths being generally good.
The basque is cut with centre
seam, side backs and under-arm cores,
and is fitted with double darts, the
many seams, as well as the narrow
vest, tending to give a tapering effect.
While it is excellent for all figures, 1t
suits the stout ones as few models
can, and reduces apparent size as far
as it is possible to do. The sleeves
are two-seamed and fit snugly to the
wrists, where they are slashed and
flare over the hands. The high stand
ing collar fits smoothly. and is singu-
larly effective made of the two colors,
although it can be of either one en-
tire, if preferred.
To cut this jacket basque for q
woman of medium size one and three
quarter yards of material forty-four
inches wide, of one and three-eighths
yards fifty inches wide, with five
eighths yards for vest and collar, will
be required.

New York correspondence Pittsburg
Post: In an uptown side street a tall
building Is approaching completion and
will be the first to exhibit popularity
of construction which has often been
urged here as the best means of miti-
eating the skyscraper's ugliness. This
new building towers above its neigh
bors, and under ordinary circum-
stances yards Of unadorned brick
would face the spectator. But the
owner and architects have adopted the
plan imposed by law in Paris and have
decorated the sides Of the building.
This ornamentation. which is simple
and tasteful, conforms in style to the
principal facades of the building, al
though not nearly so elaborate. If all
the New York's towering buildings had
been treated in the same fashion, OBJ
lection to the skyscraper would be less
pronounced than it Is today.

Here Is an amusing and character
fstic story Of Lord Salisbury. 1t is
known that the premier is much too
serious in his mind and occupations to
have much regard for the merely cere-
monial side of life. For some years
this failing produced no evil results,
for Lord Salisbury had faithful valet,
who looked after him; but one unhap-
by day the valet left, and Lord Sails
bury was reduced to his own resources.
1t was levee day, and the minister was
In the midst of serious business up to
the last moment. He rushed home,
turned out large bundle of uniforms.
of which, of course, he has a quantity,
and took the first that came to his
hand, with the astonishing result that
he wore coat that belonged to the
elder brethren of Trinity house, dep
uty lieutenant's pair of trousers, and
a hat of the Royal archers. Even that
was not the worst. He wore his gar
ter on the wrong side. and things
reached their climax in the waistcoat
which, dating from an earlier and less
robust period in his life, left between
1t and the trousers what was once
called, in the case of another parlia-
mentarian. "a lucid interval. boston

A LITTLE WHILE.

II Is so natural that we fall asleep
Like tired children when the day Is
done.
That / would question why the living
weep
When death has kissed the laughing
lips of one.
We do not sigh when golden skies have
donned
The purple shadows and the gray OF
night,
Because we know the morning lies
beyond,
And we must wait little while for
light.
So when, grown weary with the care
and strife,
Our loved ones find in sleep the peace
they crave,
We should not weep, but learn to count
this life
A prelude to the one beyond the grave;
And thus be happy for them' not dis
tressed,
But lift our hearts with love to God,
and smile,
And we, anon, like tired ones will rest,
II we will hope and wait-a little
while.

The Pointed Belt Front.

The newer leather belts for wear
with morning gowns are slender all
around, except in front, where the
lower edge hroadens to dip down and
produce the desirable long-waisted eff
feet. These new belts have two
buckles, only one of which is fastened.
They are on both sides of the pointed
piece of leather. A white ooze leather
belt is machine stitched with black.
and the black patent leather belts are
sometimes decorated with a narrow
facing of white leather on the edges.
or as often as not are stitched with

Scrim Bands Used as Trimming.

Narrow bands of Mexican drawn
work on white scrim are used to trim
a frock made of pale gray linen. The
bands are short and very numerous.
The ends of each band are turned up,
so that one band slightly crosses and
overlaps another. The bands make a
fancy border near the hem of the
linen skirt, and they also decorate the
edge of the open front jacket, and
border the cuff of the "belied" sleeve.
A soft pink null shirt front is visible
beneath the jacket. and cravat and

How Spurgeon Learned to Smoke.

How SpurReon Learned to Smoke.
1t has never been stated yet how
and when Mr.. Spurgeon learned to
smoke. 1t was while he was an usher
In boys school at Cambridge, and
became the pastor at the little Baptist
chapel at Waterbeach. He used to stay
with one of the deacons from Saturday
to Monday. Admitting the zest with
which his host enjoyed his clay pipe,
a "churchwarden" was promised him
the following week. which offer he
eagerly accepted. Said the old man:
HE smoked his pipe, as he did every
thing else, thoroughly, then he said: I
think I have had enough Yes I re-
piled, I think you have and he there
upon left the inside for the outside Of

tangled pocket added to hold few ex-
ira golf balls as a reserve for an emer-
gency. This is an outside pocket, and
has an envelope flap. which buttons
over to keep the balls from hopping
out during exercise. The pocket must
be placed at the left side. 1t would
be in the way of the player if ar
ranged at the right side. This can
only be made on a heavy skirt, such
as corduroy Or cloth. The weight Of
the balls would drag a pique skirt out

cious, or there is no need, otherwise,
