OF PAPERS ARE READ

The Ladies' Home journal Has Almost
There is, perhaps, but single
place in this country where almost
all the newspapers of the United
States are read. To the exchange
bureau of the Ladies Home Journal
practically every paper in this
country-an aggregate OF nearly
5000. 1t is the rule to read each one
within day after it is received, so
a large staff of trained readers is
kept constantly employed. By this
plan it is possible for the editors to
keep in close touch with the reading
public, and accurately informed as
to the topics that are uppermost il
the public mind in every section of
the country. In this reading, such
selections are made as may be of
special immediate interest, as well
as matter for future reference and
notes that may serve as memoranda
or suggest articles. Moreover,
everything relating to the Journal is
clipped and filed. Thousands OF
dollars year are spent in this work
alone, hat Editor Box regards it as
a very profitable investment, as in
valuable information is thus sup
piled that could be obtained in no
other wav.

Run Ashore.

The large Steamer John Craig
while enroute from down the lakes
to Ashland got off its course Friday
night, and the pilot being either
asleep or disabled physically in some
other manner tried to run the boat
on shore between the Onion and
500 rivers. He succeeded pretty
well-so we'll in fact that it took a
tug until Sunday afternoon to re-
lease the boat. AS it stuck in the
sand it was not damaged any.

4 FTER the fuss and hutter and
~ fine feathers Of the equine show
A L comes the horse show without
horses, which has just opened In New
York. Madison Square Garden Is the
scene OF this remarkable exhibition. II
Is an innovation that must charm
Mother shipton, can she view from
Elyslum the fufillment Of her prophecy
that carriages would run without
horses. In her day the only auto vehicle
was the midnight broomstick, on when
aged danes Of eccentric reputation
were supposedly accustomed TO take
midnight rides. In this year Of grace
1900 the witch's method Of transporta-
ton, while similar In principle TO that
now the fact, Is somewhat different IN
form. The autoc0r boasts n charming
passenger IN the fair damsel who
lounges upon Its cushions, and she eN-
ercises a no less potent influence, al
though q more genial one, than did the
sorceress who rode the aerial broom
stick.
The show Is a fashionable affair
that goes without saying when one con-
slders that the American Automobile
club includes some Of the wealthiest
and smartest people ia the larger cities
OF the country. Nine hundred dollars
is the cost Of a simple carriage, price
that Is practically prohibltiye except
for a certain fortunate class. There are
more automobiles In use IN New York
than anywhere else, although Chicago,
Boston, San Francisco and the interme-
date large cities have their share,

tomoblles in the east than in the west

interested visitors from other places.
Among the well known folks Interested
In automobile riding are Mrs. stuyye-
SAINT Fish, the first society woman TO
make use Of II and who helped TO In
troduce the automobile at Newport;
Mrs. 0. II. =. Belmont, who gave a
unique automobile party az her New
port home during the summer; Mrs
Harry Payne whitney, who was Miss
Gertrude Vanderbilt; Mrs, Herman
Oelrlchs, Miss Gerry, Miss Daisy Post
and Mrs. John Dreyel, These are a
few among the New York society wo-
men who have been ardent automo'
blllsts.
Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont and Mrs, Fish

GRATED carriages and contested for the
prize 10 be awarded for the most expert
driving and the handsomest decofa-
lions. The prize FOR the former was
awarded 10 Mr.. Stuyyesant lie Roy;
for the latter 70 Mrs. Herman Oelrlchs.
Some OF the same carriages seen IN the
Newport parade are 20 be exhibited AT
the automobile show decorated very
much as they were on that eyentful oc'
caslon. Mrs. Belmont, who owns one
OF the handsomest and best appointed
automobiles IN the country, had she
been other than hostess on parade day
would probably have carried on the
prize for the best decorations. Her
carriage was covered with flowers and
supplied with a long pole TO which
were harnessed giant butterflies.
The number OF young men Of society
interested IN the show indicates that
automobile driving Is the most fash
lonable sport for the time being. Mr.
Alfred Vanderbilt and his cousin, Mr.
w. X. Vanderbilt. Jr., are among the
most ardent chafieurs. In acquiring
complete control OF their vehicles they
encountered no end Of narrow escapes,
as both are inclined to be as daring as
though their lives were not worth a
copper penny apiece Instead Of nun
dred million. Mr. and Mrs. w, X. Van
derbnt have shown their devotion 10
the sport by taking an automobile trip
thrtugh France and arc GOT among
those who will be seen at the show.
At the show, where some exhibitions
OF expert skill In managing machines
are 10 be made, automobile red - the
correct color for gowns. This shade ls
combined with red or black and makes
| a very effective costume. Automobile
red Is a dull red or maroon supposed to
be particularly servlceable in dlsguls-
ing the presence Of dust. Long coats Of
the sack order are much favored by
ardent automobIllsts, In Paris the
most elaborate costumes are worn by
women who ride the autocar, but In
this country the extravagances OF Pa
rlslan taste are tempered by admiration
for sedate English tailor made effects.
Therefore, the hats worn here are usu-
ally some simple, serviceable affairs,
upon which wind and rain will have lit
tie effect, All sorts OF elaborate toilets
are correct, and many fine toilets VIII

one OF the charms OF the auto car

ment from curious cared lackeys when
one goes out to ride with a friend OF
ones own sex into whose ears there
may be many tale OF woe 10 be
poured.
Some facts which the present exhl-
billion may demonstrate are that tho
cost OF an automobile IS not greater
than that OF a good carriage and fine
pair Of horses; that the auto carriage
may be so easily managed that child
can be ntrusted with one as safely as
with a bicycle. At present there are
| only about ! 500 automobiles In this
country but orders FOR them have been
pouring In so fast that the factories are
working night and day TO supply the
demand. For long distance runs the
gasoline carriage seeems 70 be the
best. as enough fuel can be carried to
replenlsh the fira for a 20 mile spin.
The electric carriages must be freshly
supplied with electricity every 25 miles.
one noticeable thing about the auto
mobile craze Is the difficulty to be met
with in finding suitable words 70 ex-
press the various phases Of the fad. The
carriages are called By a dozen names,
any one Of which is as expressive
as another. They are termed autocars,
autogos. autodos, teuf teufs, automo-
blles, autobalns and n dozen other
names, none Of which is very con-
venient or expressive Likewise the
person who propels the carriage Is
spoken OF ms the automobilist the chat
feur, etc. Every one is trying to coin
new phrases, and at the show Il is only
the old automobile nend who can use
the numerous terms with dispatch and
propriety. ELLA MATHIESSEN.
