that the large crowd had been

"Maj. Whitthorne followed with

reference to public questions, except
to say that he was not an imperial

EcLIPSED ALL RECORDS.
The Steamship Deutschland Has Cut
Over Three Hours on the Pre-
vfOus Fastest Record.

New York, Sept. 2.-The steamer
Deutschland, of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, has again eclipsed all pre-
yious records for fast transatlantic
travelling. She has broken the east
ern and western records. Her time.
on the voyage, just ended, was 5
days, 10 hours and 20 minutes be-
tween the Mole at the entrance of
Cherbourg harbor and the Sandy
nook lightship. At noon of the 31st
she passed the record for the fastest
days run, making 5S4 knots. Her
time is over three hours better than
the fastest trip of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse. Her average speed
was 1902 knots per hour.
The Deutschland sailed from liam
burg August 25, Southampton and
Cherbsurg the Goth. She passed the
Cherbourg Mole at 9:55 on the even
ing of August 26, arriving at the San
dy Hook lightship at SPA a. m, Sep
TENDER 1. On the trip she had mod
crate winds and sea, with occasional
hazy weather. Her daily runs were
337. 566, $50. $40, 5s4 and 423 knots.

Another Boom in Pensions.

The pension business has taken on
new life since the outbreak of the
Spanish. American war.
The report of the pension office up
to July lst, shows that already more
pensions have been applied for on
account of the war than the number
OF men who saw actual service In it.
In all, 30, 1881 pensions have been an
piled for wit hin two years after the
cessation of hostllities, out of an
army of 230 000 one-half of whom
were never out of camp. 1t is es-
timated that by this time next year
the total number of applications for
pensions on account of the Spanish
war will have reached the grand
total of 80 600. That is, that within
three years after their muster in
pensions will have been applied for
on account of one fourth of the men
enlisted for the war.
This new draft on the public treas
ury will be enough to enlarge custom
house aud internal revenue taxes in
definitely. The s.ldiAr of the pres
ent day is as fully informed az to
pension possibilities as is the bride to
the open door of the divorce court

The Hotel Register.

1t is curious thing how many
people who can write legible hands
will take pen on entering the hotel,
iab it into the ink bottle, and then
write on the register a thing that no
mortal man can read. 1t may be
that they imagine it business-like or
that the reader will note from its
general style that man of affairs
'put his fist here" Then again, of
course, there are few persons en-
tertained at the better class of hotels
who cannot write, but they are in
the small minority. 1t will average
three out of five signer3 of the hotel
registers, whose signatures are al
most illegible and will worry even
one accustomed to the constant read =
ing of manuscripts to figure out.
Many men of means, no doubt, gain
a peculiar twist from signing
checks, tic for the good reason that
such a signature Is difficult to coun-
terfeit. But with the average hotel
arrival, who will ordinarily write a
clear Land, just give him chanc e
at the hotel register, and the result
will be a beautiful piece of "hen-
scratching"

A Cautious Iudue,

In a case before a Paris court in
which u popular actress had to APP
pear as a witness, the Judge seems
to have shown considerable diff
dence about asking the lady, as he
was in duty bound to do, what was
her age. Evidently he considered
that such question put to such a
witness would be a direct incite-
ment to perjury.
The way in which he got out of the
difficulty was ingenious. He asked
her age before she mad been sworn.
After a little hesitation, the lady
admitted to being % years of age.
"And now that you have told the
court your age continued the gal
liant Judge, "you swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth?n

To READERS
ofThefr1es.

Under our management The Times
has passed another successful year Of
its history. 1t was our intention, had
it not been for the accident we met
with last Monday, to send every out-of-
town subscriber a statement before
Christmas, showing his indebtedness
to the paper and asking for a prompt
remittance. Our expenditure last
summer in putting in new outfit has
increased our obligations, many of
which we will be called upon to meet
before January 18th, and unless you
pay us it will be impossible for us to
meet ours, thereby injuring our COM
mercial credit which we do not believe
a subscriber, friend of the paper,
would like to see. The paper has some
$500 dollars due it yet for subscriptions
and the amount each owes is so small
none should hesitate to send it on re-
ceipt of statement, or pay same to
our representative when called upon.
Where statements are rendered the
paper has been mailed to you for the
time Charged for, with the possible ex-
ception OF a fsW issues in which a new
folder desroyM many papers each
week. But DO hose,- who claim not to
have received the paper regularly we

month or a wear as they may claim.

all we ask is that our subcribers trea
MS fairly.
Our representative, who was out last
week, claimed that several people re
fused to pay the amounts due the paper
as they claimed that they had ordered
1t stopped. Now we either did moi
receive the notice or they lid not re-
NIT for the amount due when orders
to stop were made, in which case the
law justifies us in continuing
the paper and will sus-
tain us in the collection Thera is
another class who order a paper
stopped. but take the same regularly
each week from the postoftice, who ure
also liable. Now, it is not our inten-
ton to cause any one trouble, but un-
less we pay our debts, made ON the ex-
pectation of collecting those due us,
we must expect our creditors to pro-
coed in business-like manner and col
lect them by law.
We do not think there is subscriber
but who will say that the paper is now
well worth the price of subscription.
But our aim is to improve it more by
adding picture-making department
to illustrate each issue, provided we
are successful in raising money to do
it out of the collections this year.
Again, we offer $500 in prizes to the
subscribers of The Times who pay up
before February something no other
paper in the state has done. This was
done In order to encourage collections
and secure subscriptions The $500

market today and will make any home
a useful gift.
When you remit your subscription

neighbors and in return accept from
us our warmest thanks and the prom

cause to regret ordering.

DANCING AMONG oRIENTALs.
Marvellous Feats of Agility PER-
formed by Siamese Mnidens
in Their Exercises.

The king Of Siam enjoys the royal pre-
negative of keeping bands Of dancing
and singing girls. At five years of age,
and sometimes before. the tots are set
to work practicing in the royal gym
nasium, and small wonder is it that
their bones seem to be made of gristle
and that they are really the most fiexi-
BILE of human creatures. The most as
tonishing and marvellous thing the
dancers do, says a foreign exchange,
is to pick up bits of straw with their
eyelids. Naturally, this can be done
only by the youngest and most supple.
1t is one of the exercises in the gym
nasium. The cup dance is most grace
full and intricate measure, and to the
looker-on it seems almost miraculous.
1t may be called the national dance. A
row of young girls, each with cup on
her head, take their places in the cen
ter of the great hall. To the accom-
paniment of the band they kneel down,
fold their little hands, bow their small
heads until their foreheads almost
touch the polished marble floor, keep
ing the cups steadily on their heads
all the time by series of skillful jerks
OF the neck. They also make series
of rapid and intricate circles, bringing
into play almost every muscle of the
body, without in the least disturbing
the cups.
As a rule the Chinese do not care for
SO frivolous recreation or pastime as
dancing. They do not dance themselves,
but they hire dancing girls who are
bred to the profession to amuse and
entertain them. Bands of dancing
women are maintained at Picking for
the entertainment of the court on occa-
sions of rejoicing, and the flower boats
which line the banks of the rivers near
large cities have dancing girls aboard
to amuse the visitors. The girls wear
most exquisitely adorned garments,
and are as dainty and delicate as flow
ers, and, in spite of their compressed
feet, some Of them are exceedingly
graceful. An old legend tells us that
Eel Yen, the favorite concubine of EN-
peror Chi End, 10 B. c., was SO skilled
in the art of dancing that she could
tread measure on the palm of his
hand or within the circumference of q
small bowl. The devil-dancers Of China
are sort of spiritual mediums, who
claim to be possessed, going into state
of ecstatic frenzy, and when in this
state answering questions as to disease
and remedies to be applied.
Most Corean cities have geishas, who
form themselves into a sort of guild,
with fixed prices for various entertain
ments. Like their sisters of japan,
they are the best educated of their
sex. But to see the geisha in all her
native loneliness one must go to Nip
pan. One must be present at fete
dedicated to the sacred dragon, where
maidens who perform no other dance
interpret song and story, sheltered by
lacquered walls upon which are en-
blazoned paintings of the seven-clawed
dragon.

One of the most necessary and yet
one of the most abused of all impie-
ments is the lawn-mower. To sharpen
the knives is not difficult matter.
To do it, remove the wheels, and slip
the cog-wheel off the end Of the shaft.
A little clutch will be found in slot
in the shaft at each end. Simply re-
verse the positions Of cog-wheels and
clutches from one end Of the shaft
to the other, so that the reel can be
run backward. Then replace the OUT
er wheels, and fasten them in place
with either the nuts or cotters. With
the oil-can run little oil along the
edge of the lower knife. Upon this
oil sprinkle medium coarse emery
powder. Now turn the machine up
side down and push it along the lawn
rapidly, the reel turning backward
causing the emery to grind all the
knives. The wheels may then be
taken off. and the cogs and clutches
reversed, the emery carefully wiped
off, the knives adjusted, the machine
oiled, and 1t will be ready for use.-

UP TO DATE FOOTWEAR.
Calculated to Display the
Foot and Ankle.

The present seasons styles of foot
wear are credited to the French, and
they are certainly pleasing enough to
have come from the gay city Of Paris,
reports fashion authority. The
stockings for this summer are of silk,
with open work reaching to the an
kle, and are worn with low walking
shoes. The pretty styles of shoes that
are shown for wear with bicycling
costumes are in gay plaid patterns,
though many prefer those which but
ton high up, some having as many
as rs buttons. With hunting or shoot
ing dresses the laced leather boot Is
more generally worn, and it has be-
come an established part of mod
ern woman's dress. Pretty kid dane
ing shoes come in various colors-
white, gray, beige, etc. They are
are generally ornamented with gold
and silver buckles, and a shoe of the
color of the gown gives a touch of
elegance and finish to the costume.
This is an important detail which
should not be neglected, FOR we some
times see light shoes worn with black
stockings, which has q very ugly eff
feet, and makes the foot appear much
larger. There are sometimes. shown
charming fancy shoes with buckles
Of leather and with these may be
worn embroidered stockings Of vari-
GUS colors.
MuIes and sandals, which are only
permissible with the most neglige of
costumes, are worn by women Of
fashion, and the same taste which 10
displayed In the choice Of the matt
nee Is noticeable in this detail, as the
shoes correspond in color with the
gown. Though light stockings are
sometimes worn, dark colored ones are
more elegant. Boots with light up
pers come in all shades to be worn
