PecuIiarities of the Voice.

There is young woman in New
York who makes a business Of train
ing harsh voices. She says the trou-
BILE with New York voices is that so
many people have the Throat clutch"
claw cinch," or a whining intonatlon.
The al" guard who croaks discord-
antly, "Twarasadsty," when he means
Twenty street." has the throat
clutch" The agreeable matron at
the dinner table who shrieks to her
neighbor in kind of falsetto. II al
ways go to the Metropolitan on Wag-
ner nights" and makes him involun-
tarily place his hand to his ear to
guard his tympanum. has the jaw
cinch." This on the authority of the
voice culturist. But she gives the en-
couraging opinion that every one may
have pleasant voice by observing q
few simple rules, one of which Is al
ways to begin at the top of the scale
and go down. In other words do mo-
speak with rising infection. She
says, en- passant, that New York wom
en- have the sweetest voices in the
country, and those of Philadelphia thu
harshest. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

"L,ady Flora"

Miss Coghlan and company last
evening in Lady Flora" did not play
to large house, that fact due possibly
to the number of good attractions Ma.
rietta has had this week.
Lady Flora" is a comedy, very mild
in Its nature, in which there Is little
that Is really dramatic. The story is
told dn a pretty fashion. but there Is
to our notion. rather too little of 1t
The play has in 1t scarcely any i'm
pulses. but that may be due to the fac
that 1t Is q representation of life a.
the English aristocracy enjoy it.
The people who presented the pla!
are a capable lot Of folks and did wha
there was to do in proper fashion
but then the situations demand too lit
tie.

Repudiate Freer.

Morgantown, w. Va. March 2S.--
The Freer Compaign Committee, with
headquarters here, tonight issued a
letter repudiating its candidate for the
Republican Gubernatorial nomination
and closed the committee rooms. 1t
has not decided upon "a course, few
members favoring Senator Nelson
Whitaker, of Wheeling, while others
favor the nomination of A. B. White,
against whom they worked industrl-
ously for two months.
The repudiation Of Freer grows out
of his inability to keep his engage
ment to speak in Preston County yes
terday, where his committee had pre-
pared grand rally with a view to
capture this stronghold for Its man.
White took advantage Of the fiasco
addressed the meetings and captured
the county organization. Dayton will
get the majority of the delegation fol
Congress.
1t Is said that one of Whites sup
porters was the cause OF Freer's down
fall, but this cannot be verified.

tablespoonfuls cold water to the yolks
and one-quarter t%easpoonful salt, stir
two minutes, beat the whites to a stiff
froth, then add slowly the yblk mix
ture to the whites while beating con-

pan with one tablespoonful butter over
the fire; when melted pour IN the egg
mixture; do not stir, but when the eggs
begin to set slip a b~road-bladed knife
under the omelet to keep it from burn
ing and shake the pan to and fro. When
light brown on the under side place the
pan for a few minutes into a hot oven,
touch it lightly with the fingers; if
nothing adheres to it it is ready to re-
move. Hold the pan in the left hand
and a palette knife in the right, slip the
omelet onto a warm dish and at the
same time fold it double. Care should
be taken not to leave the omelet too
long in the oven, as too much cooking
is apt to make it tough. Ledger

Al trip home at z; SOa. M. on the South

amusement. Sometimes, too, q falls
asleep and dozes until suddenly aWak-
ened by the cry Of the guard: Ears

One such incident as described BY .
night toiler, follows:
AAn amusing thing happened during
festival week, when a great many more
fortunate people than lychnobites ike
myself were travelling at 2s30a IA. and
we're making vain efforts to keep awake.
There were 80 people in the rear car
OF the train as it turned the bend at
For&ieth street. Half Of them were
ileeping and the other half amusing
themselves at the expense Of a man.
who was snoring audibly above the RUM
bling Of the train.
s'The train slowed up for Forty-thlrd
street and the guard called the station.
Just as the gates we're changing shut
4 young man in one of the double seats
gave a bound and landed Of the feet Of
an obese individual who was sitting half
way to the door. There were a few UNI

accident had happened, frantiehlly

he caught the words the young man
was shouting after the train: You've

"He had seen the young man gather
ing himself up at the feet of the obese
individual and concluded he had been
sitting there. He rushed to get the
~overcoat, seized one hat lay on the
next seat, tossed it through an open
window to the young man and gave a
second signal to go ahead.
"The train had left the station Sc

be choking. He was slow of speech, and
in trying to say something quickly was
spIuttering away like a man who has

WINTER MILLINERY.
Ornaments and trimmings That Are
Now Coming Into
Favor.


Among the novelties in simili, Jet
etc, are long, narrow ornaments-sym-
metrical arrangements Of olive leaves
and the like-intended for trimming die
rectoire hats. They are placed upright
against the back of the crown, and the
strings are fastened underneath their
lower extremity. An ornament of this
sort in simili is applied to the back of a
black velvet dir~ectoire, tied with broad
MORE strings. The hat is, of course,
covered fat with the velvet; the brim is
turned up in front, and is lined with
pale pink crush roses, and two long
black feathers, fixed to the sides of the
crown, curl forward over the edges.
Another directoire, covered with orchid
mauve velvet outside andfoIds Of cream
colored satin underneath the brim has
a Jet ornament at the back, a plume OF
cream feathers and white satin
strings.
Both these hats have a square notch
cut out of the brim at the back. Other
hats of this shape have tabled or huted
curtains; the simili or jet ornament is
best suited to the former. When this
is absent a couple Of handsome pins
stuck THROUGH thesback Of the hat is a
pretty addition. Fresh varieties Of
pins for these ana other purposes are
in the market. The latest novelties are
those with large, pearl-shaped heads
in clear white or colored glass.-Mil
