screens Decorated with phO,O-

Screens deoolu,ed with pho,o-
graphs. by common consent, were rele-
gated long since to the dusty obscurity
of the garret c. lie mildewed isolation
of the cellar" says the photographer
who studies fads; "but photographs
will accumulate. and women find it nee
cessary to exhibit some of them at
least. So there has risen a fertile
genius with fad for displaying photo
graphs on the boudoir wall gracefully
distributed between the spokes of a bi
cycle wheel, says the New York Press.
Not an ordinary bicycle wheel, how
ever, will suffice. If it is young wom-
an with matrimonial prospects, more
or less immediate, or a maiden IN the
first throes of hope, she must show her
pictures in wheel from her best
young mans bicycle. If she is married
then she must use a wheel which has
revolved in century runs. This is an
effective ornament and permits the eX-
hibition of so or more favorite pic
lures.
Another fad has brought it about
that many young men who last year
were wearing boards have faces as
smooth as eggs this year. Their adorn-
ments have been sacrificed to the fad
in question. The end of the centur,
young woman must have three photo
graphs of her swain. Picture No. must
show him in all the splendor and dig
nifty of full beard. Picture No. re-
veals his manly beauty polished off
only by a mustache. Picture No. 3 pre-
sents him entirely divested Of all whis-
kers.

self at Washington.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Thomas F.
Lane, son-in-law of ex-senator Black
burn, committed suicide at his home
here Monday night. Mr.. Lane entered
the house about II p. M, and shot him
self in the presence of his little daugh-
ter while his wife was resting on q
couch in an adjoining room. Death was
almost instantaneous. Mr.. Lane was
the American representative of the
London ordnance firm of Vicker's Sons
and Maxim He was we'll to do, prom
inently connected and familiar fig
ure in Washington society. It is said
that he was driven to the act by brood
ing over ill health. He was told some
time ago that he had Bright's disease
and he allowed the matter to prey on
his mind.
Senator Blackburn was in Hagers-
town, Nd, Monday night when the
news of the suicide reached him. He
had been on a campaign tour of the
state. He left as soon as possible for
Washington, and it is likely that the
occurrence will force him to abandon
any further active work in the CAM
pajgn.
