WHAT THE TRAIN CRIER SAID.
1t Relieved Four Frightened Parents
md They Went Home
Happy.

There was an excursion on one of
the railroads few days ago to a
town in the center of the state. Two
young women who went on the eX-
cursion missed the return excursion
train to Chicago and stood around
in the deserted depot of the country
town in despair, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"You see," said one young woman.
"our fathers and mothers will be at
the depot in Chicago when the train
comes in and they will be frightened
to death when we fail to arrive with
the other excursionists. They will
think all manner of bad things have
happened to us. But what can de
do?"
EYES," said the other young woman
through her tears, ''if our people
were at home this evening we might
telegraph them, but they were all go
ing downtown to the theater and /
don't know what theater they went
to. After the theater they were go
| ing down to meet us at the train.
They will bc simply frightened to
death, and I'm afraid my father will
get on the next train and come right
down here after us. There are 700 or
| 500 people on that excursion train
and there will be more than that
number waiting for them at the
depot, besides the crowds going out
on the other trains, so it won't do
| any good for us to address our mes
sage to the depot. They would never
get it,"
81 know what to do" suddenly ex-
claimed the other young woman, MS
her face shone with the light Of a
brilliant inspiration.
"What?" gasped her companion.
ave will send message to the
train caller at the depot in Chicago
and ask him to announce when the
excursion train pulls in that we
missed the train but are safe with
friends here and will return on the

80, that's just the thing" exclaimed
the other maiden, and they hastily
fixed up telegram and sent it. ad'
dressed to the train caller at the sta
ton.
So when the excursion train pulled
into the Chicago depot that night the
cxcursionists and the friends wait
ing for them were surprised TO sec
the train caller Chamber up on @
bench, and in his most stentoriar
tones gravely announce:
"Limited train for st. Louis or
third track. Cannonball for Toledo
Cleveland, Philadelphia and the east
on first track. Miss Lillian Bellevillt
and Miss Eugenia Thompllins missed
the excursion train at Bloomfield an(
will spend the night with their rela
tives there, Mr.. and Mrs. John Adam!
and Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Allen. TIL,
young women are safe and happy ans
will return on the first train to-mor

And four frightened parents
breathed easy again and went hom'
happy.

UNIQUE PHILANTHROPY.
Mrs. Smith, Wife of CalifOrnia's
"Bornx King" Expects TO Adopt
Hundred Girls.

The responsibility of rearing 100
daughters and starting them all prop
erly in life is one that would cause
most mothers to shudder. Yet that is
what Mrs. +. NJ. Smith, of Oakland,
Cal, is going to take upon herself.
She is going to adopt 100 poor girls
and rear them as tenderly as the fond
est mother would her best loved child.
Mrs. Smith is the wife of the man
who is known throughout the country
as the "borax king" He controls the
entire borax trade of America and is
rated in California as a multi-million-
aire. 1t is the money made from
borax that will permit Mrs, Smith to
/ care for 100 girls, some of them hardly
! more than toddling babies, from now
up to the time when they are young
women and go away to firesides of
their own or to the life work which
they shall select. But If any of them
should not marry or would not show
any inclination to take up profess
sion, why, then they will do just as
any daughter of any ordinary family
would do-simply stay at home and
live her own life in her own way.
Mrs. Smith is not going to adopt
her hundred girls for any certain
period of years, to be sent away at
the end of that time, regardless Of
whether they want to go or are pre-
pared to go or not.
The home which Mrs. Smith will
provide for these homeless girls is to
be a home in fact, and the girls are
to be taught to regard it as such.
Mrs. Smiths hundred daughters will
live in ten houses, ten girls to each
house, on 35-acre tract of land, near
Arbor villa, Mrs. Smiths home in Oak
land. The first of the ten houses is
already being built, and work on the
others will begin at once.
The girls are to have every oppor'
tunity to learn all that they wish
They will go to the public schools
and attend church. Every effort will
be made to equip them with prac'
teal education, as well as the ac
complishments that an ambitious CIR
naturally Graves.
Each girl will be permitted to fol
low her own particular bent. Those
who wish to attend the university
after completing the work of thu
graded schools can do so, and those
who wish to become milliners, dress
makers, or follow any other trade oil
profession will be given every facility
for doing so.

stri,kInr Color Combinot,on

This season sees one of the strangesr
color combinations and odd mingling
of fabrics that Dame Fashion has ever
given a suffering feminine world.
Thus, red and pink are frequently EN-
ployed together. Heather or hello
trope are considered to harmonic
well with Nile, willow or lime green.
The palest possible blue contrasts
with peach blossoms, while two or
even three different shades of gray
or brown are often mingled in the
same costume, not as regards the
trimming, but the material of the
dress itself. Another rather peculiar
"melange" is very pale blue and bright
scarlet or crimson.-Chicago Ameri.

Wells Are Going Out.

Lace wells have no longer the
vogue which few seasons ago gave
them. 1t is noticeable that the wear
ing of wells is not what it once was
This is due partly to the constant
teaching of fashionable hygienic ex-
perts, who claim that the soft film
drawn over the face tends to clog
the pores, interfere with circulation
and eventually dim the clearness Of
the complexion.

WILL CUT OFF PAPERS.

Postmaster General Smiths order
designed 10 remedy the abuses in
second class mail matter will soon be
issued. 1t is expected to result in
an effective and radical reform.
The second class mail matter now
embraces nearly three -fourths of the
entire weight of all mail matter, and
yet it brings in revenue Of less
than 81. 600, 600 a year ont of the en-
tire postal revenues of more than
$40, 600 900. While it aggregates
three-fourths of the weight, 1t con-
tributes only about one thirtieth of
the revenue. To handle and carry
the second class matter costs fully
$50, 600. 600 a year abo-e what the
government receives for handling and
carrying it. This extraordinary loss
grows largely out of abuses which
have crept in gradually and which
the law never contemplated. They
have grown up under loose interpre-
! tations and tax methods. 1t is said at
the Post office Department that the
great body of legitimate publications
furnish no ground for complaint and
there is no purpose of interfering
with them, but that large number
of fake publications have developed
which have no just title to second
class rates,
The law defines the conditions upon
which publication shall be admitted
to the second class, as follows:
| 1t must be originated and published
| for the dissemination of information
of a public character or devoted to
Literature, the sciences, arts or some
special industry, and have legi j.
mate list of subscribers; provided.
however, that nothing herein contain
ed shall be so construed as to admit
to the second class rate regular publi-
cation designed primarily for adver
Using purposes or for free circulation
or for circulation at nominal rates.
1t is the purpose OF the Postmaster
! General to restore strlcter enforce
ment of the law His order will not
interfere with legitimate publications
but it will cut off the abuses by which
fake publications load down the mail
with circulations induced wholly by
merchandise offers or guessing con
tests that are either fraudulent ]
character or reduce the circulation TO
nominal rates. IT is expected also
that the order will cut off the serial
publications, or books which by a
sabterfuge have secured admission as
second class matter 1t is probable
that the order will be issued mex
week, and not made operative imme-
diately in order that publishers may
have opportunity to conform to the
new requirements.

RIOT OVER PAY CHAIRS
And yeer PoIie men who Arrest the Men

leading one of widest demonstrations
seen in this city for years.
Jeering and shouting, mob which
comprised 5000 persons. according
to the estimate of Police Captain
Flood, surged M Broadway soon af-
ter noon, in wake of two policemen,
who had as their prisoners two men
who had fought with two attendants
when they were ousted from the chairs
for occupying which they had re-.
fused to pay
TO what length the excited gather
ing might of gone cannot be guessed.
Stones and other missels weere qegin-
ing to be hurled about the bluecoats
when the reserves, hastily summoned
from the police station, appeared, aud
their drawn clubs kept the crowd in
restraint.
One young man, caught as he threw
a stone was made prisoner. but the
crowd followed the policemen who
captured him right to the door of the
police station. 1t filed Thirtieth
street to Sixth avenue yelling and
cursing util it was charged on by a
body of blueaocts. Then it dispersed.
This remarkable display of telling
came on the heels of rough and
tumble fight in Madison Square Park,
in which half hundred men partici
pated. To prevent any further outburst
a call was sent out for the reserves
from different precints, and for the
rest of the day 80 stalwart policemen
were scattered throughout the park,
allowing none to loiter who might be
willing to cause more trouble.
But the police gave no help to
Mr.. Spate's agents in the way OF
keeping deadheads out of the chairs
or aiding in the collection ofsthe MIC
kels. Only when there came a fight
did they assert thesmelves. When
night arrived six men had been ar
rested. Two of these were Spate S
agents, the police have been instruct
ed to arrest them whenever they were
parties to breach of the peace.
In ignorance of this demonstration
the Board of Estimate and Appor
! tionment was taking action which
may result in the removal of the
chairs, which have become such bones
of ntention-although even should
| this be the result, they will not be
done away with until next year. That
