The results Of the general census of
Mexico taken in 1895, which have lust
been published, show a population of
l2,491673, almost equally divided be-
tween males and females. Only two
s6ates-Jalisco and Guanaiuato-have
q population of more than 100000.
while the state Of Mexico has about
sooocO. As whole, says the Buffalo
Express, Mexico must be regarded as
healthful place of residence. for the
census records more than 700 centep-
rians. In the foreign-born popuia-
ZION of the country the United States
saands next to Spain, the latter being
.lightly in excess with 1889.
Hhteracy is very high, more than
100000 of the population being una
Ole either to read or write. This is
approximately three-fourths of the

Mexico number only about 200, 900 less
Than the total population of the coun-

The Oldest person living in Kansas is

Woman's Telegram in a Theater nj
Nerted the Audience from the
Performance

Nhen woman receives a telegram
at her home it causes her heart TO
| pa!pitate at greatly accelerated rate
and she hesitates long before opening
the envelope. What must be the ef
feet upon her when the missive comes
to her, with every appearance of
urgency, when she is seated in 2
theater? A young woman on a visit
to Nilkesbarre, Pa, says the Chicago
chronicle, underwent the experience
while the entire audience. gathered 10
witness a performance by a distiu-
guished actor, watched the effect the
missive had upon her.
The orchestra had just begun to play
after the curtain had dropped upon
the second act when the manager of
the theater appeared before the cur
tain and motioned the leader 10 81
lence. His face was very grave and he
held telegram in his hand.
rs Miss Vermont, of Washington, in
the house?" he asked. ~ telegram
has been brought 10 the theater ad-
dressed to her"
Miss Vermont turned suddenly cold
with terror. Mother has had a stroke
or fathers automobile has run away
with him, or brother Jack had been
capsized on the river and drowned. She
saw every detail Of her fearful Jour
ney home-the sleepless night of wait
ing for the first train, the interminable
crawling of il Washingtouward. She
saw herself in the deepest mourning.
In half second she lived a week of
misery. Her two cousins were gazing
at her in frightened helplessness. She
staggered 10 her feet.
81 am Miss Vermont she said, with
an effort.
An usher ran down the aisle. Every
eye in the theater was on her. Every
woman there felt for her. For a mo-
ment she could not nerve herself TO
open the envelope. She must. She
must know which one it was. The
message was a blur before her. It was
signed Jack. She caught the words:
Wire at once" 1t was mother, then,
or father. She looked closer. Ths
time she made out the whole message.
1t read:
Mother left out pink organdie. Do
You need it? Wire at once"

NEW DRESS NOTES.
Fresh Finery for Feminine Follow
ers OF the Fads and
Fashions.


Fringed sashes on hats went out o,
date with the suddenness which results
from overpopularity They are seen
on no new head covering of good style.
The exception to the spring and sum.
mer rule that sashes must not hang is
found in pretty use of point lace ends
on visiting hat of white neapolitan
braid. One may do what she likes with
fine lace. In itself il Is sufficient rea-
son. White violets, with white Louis
Inc ribbon, and the lace, complete the
pleasing hat, which might seem char
acterless without the band of black
velvet worn at the throat, says the
Washington Star.
Pearl robes have lost none of their
popularity, but short necklet of
pearls, with pearl clasp and pendant set
with pearls or other gems. is very FASH
ionable over the lace stock Miniature
ropes of pearls and other stones. with
pearl drops at the end, are used for fas-
tening lace scarfs and feather boas.
ana OF these. pearls, cut amethysts and
topazes are most in demand. Earrings
are very small, and, II not in screw form.
set very close TO the ear. The only
bracelets possible with the long sleeves
are those of the loose, flexible kind
with pendant hearts, charms. or other
dropping ornaments. Brooches are still
OF the long pin type, or in Louis Seize
designs, with fine lattice work set with
tiny gems. The very tiny brooch
watches are quite neglected, but few
OF these watches are worn loose on the
long chains, where they appear very in
secure.
Among the new military models
there is bonnet with a crown of fancy
straw and crinoline. which is trimmed
with soft glace ribbon in two pretty
shades of maize color, and a wreath of
black cowslips with pale green stalks.
Two pretty diamond pins are stuck
INTO the bows, and long strings of the
paler shade of yellow tie under the chin.
A large black hat of fancy straw has
the edge of the brim lined with white
straw, and is trimmed with soft folds
OF tulle, long black ostrich feathers and
an ornamental paste buckle; under the
brim at the back there are some yellow
roses.
a year ago it was considered graceful
to have the belt merely folded string
around the waist. The shirt waist or
bodice came into this belt with fullness
and there was no attempt to make tn
ines trig and smooth. To-day all the
fashions of the shirt waist have
changed. Even the most negligee shirt
waist fits in with that trig. bias look |

shapely.
