 Carolin died after ten weeks sickness,
 and at 2:3U o'clock this morning Miss
 Honora McEvoy. sister to Mrs Caro- lin, passed away after an illness of several years. Both lived together and often talked of their condition and i used to say that they hoped God would call them at the same time, neither caring to remain here after the other, and judging by the few hours between their demise it would seem that their prayer had been answered. The Me Evoy girls. four in number. came to Were among the best known and most , respected citizens of their day and i time. One was the late Mrs John
 Wagner of Washington avenue, for Sev-

Sung at the Girls Glee Club Concert
 .r at Assembly Hall.
 The following song. which was com- -~ posed by Miss Kitty Glynn, was sung by the Girls Glee club of the High school at their concert last Monday night. and was one of the hits of the evening:
 Let Us all draw near, In our school hall here. Our valiant and victorious boys to
 cheer.
 For the good work they've done And to view the cup they've won. II was work and not play, When on that eventful day, On the old Yale field,
 Both teams lined up.
 Each determined not to yield But to win that cup.
 Ward worked with a will, Brennan is loyal still.
 Murray managed with splendid skill; Captain Byrnes. so bright and smart Did nobly from the start;
 Thompson with sweater green, The mascot of our team,
 And Walker with the ball
 Made a wonderful run.
 Next Culhane, Burns and Knopf, Who are always in the fun.
 After them. Flanagan,
 Bauby, Cook, Hart and Schick, Who are onto every trick. The second half was almost done When Nuhn and Thompson came in To have a share in the fun, For they are always in the swim. There are many others. too. Who have worked good and true To uphold the honor Of the white and the blue. The Meridens did their best
 And brought their little West; l He caught cold in his chest And was gently laid to rest. When Walker had the ball. | They lost the game and all; Then Byrnes followed suit, l And how we all did root. l We've never met our ma tch, 1 Nor did receive a scratch; I We were always in the race, l For Dr Bauby had his case. l Then we'll cheer for the cup,
 And never give it up, While the boys are so true l Tofthe white and the blue.

PRETTY BODICE NOVELTY.
Smart Women Are Now Decorating
Their Fancy Shirt Waists with
Double Zephyr Catstitching.

There is a new note in the bodices
of fashionable gowns these days, and
although one that would have seemed
incongruous to our grandmothers, it
is extremely pretty, says the Boston
Globe.
1t is double zephyr worsted, used to
lattice work and embroider certain
parts OF fancy shirts, instead of the
Roman silks and fosses that have
been familiar so long. One distinctive
usage is seen in bodices of black satin
or liberty silk, made over white lin
ings.
If it is arranged with tucls--either
bias or straight, the interspaces are
decorated with q working of the
double zephyr. The decoration never
represents flowers. leaves or similar
designs. Usually it is worked in cat
stitch, and, as an added touch, when
the needle points out of each side of
the goods, the zephyr is thrown about
it several times and fastened so as TO
form a French knot.
The dress goods under the worsted
is then cut away, and allows the un-
derlining to show through only slight
ly, as the catstitching was very close
ly done. The worsted was of many
colors, through which yellow and pur-
pie predominated.
Another charming bodice was of
cAerry-colored liberty silk made over
cream white. 1t was elaborately
worked with black double zephyr.
On rather fancy shirt waists this
work, though slight, gives them
touch of style and novelty. The edges,
also of fancy and adjustable collars
with ear points and pointed cuffs, are
being finished with double zephyr.
At first they are edged with satin
ribbon of some color in contrast to
the collar, and on the ribbon the
worsted work is executed. This work
is quickly done, and it is greatly in
its favor that no advance designing is
necessary. A straight eye and an
adaptabihty for such work are all that
is required.
1t is also feasible to fill in many
sharp little corners on gowns with a
fan-shaped bit, the stitches being
long and graduated. Again the old
Roman block design is used on strapo
to cross over the vests of bodioes.
By those that know about up-to-
date gowns it seems as though even
more attention was paid to what is
new in wrinkles, as such little points
as this one about worsted are called,
than to the excellence of the quality |
of their goods.

THE LITTLE BUSY BEE.
sagacious HOneymaISers Have &
Means of Indicating Desira-

Naturalists have long been of the
opinion that animals and insects have
languages of their own. and we'll
known facts seem to bear out the
claim, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Bees have so often displayed their
shrewdness in the selection of re-
ceptacles for their honey that it
would be strange if they were not en-
dowed with the faculty Of communi-
eating with each other. An expert
who has made a special study of the
habits of the busy, buzzing bee in

their own. They carry different
meanings by their buzzings." he says,
'and they understand each other like

them that don't think anybody else

HIDDEN TREASURE FOUND.
a Half-Witted Boy by an
Ancestral Ghost.

From the eastern shore of Maryland
comes ghost story that forms part
of the history of Sharp's island. Wis
itors to the island win be shown a
hole out of which, tradition has it,
there was dug great treasure which
was discovered through the assistance
of the spirit of departed ancestor.
The treasure enabled the finder to
buy the entire island.
This, of course, happened years ago,
when land was not as valuable as it is
in those parts to-day, but, neverthe-
less, from what can be ascertained, a
very good price was paid for the
island. The purchaser of the latter
was known to be a tiller of the soil
He was rather thrifty, and managed
to live in comfortable style. He was
married, and all of the members of his
family, with one exception, were very
bright and handsome. The one excep-
tion was a boy, who was considered
half-witted. Every effort was made
by his parents to give all Of their chill
that section. The unfortunate mem
Der Of the family was allowed all
kinds of privileges and almost every
whim was humored. When he grew
up it was his delight to assist in the
gardening. No restraint was placed
upon him, and he would come and go
as he chose. He had habit of work
ing all by himself. One day, after he
had been at his usual occupation, he
rushed into the house and said that
an old man had been talking to him
in the garden, and told him where
lots OF treasure was hid. On account
OF the condition of the child his
5athe- said: IAN right" and told the
boy that some day the treasure would
be dug up. The chances are that he
would not have paid any attention to
his more responsible sons. The nexS
day, about the same time, the lad
again went to his father. and said
that the old man had again been talk.
ing 10 him about the treasure, and
told him to go and dig for it. He de-
scribed the old man as wearing nut

lonial fashion, with knee breeches.

bpelSles and a three-cornered hat.
