Mayor johnson.

In person Mayor Johnson is about
FIVE feet, seven inches in height. His
figure is rotund, almost rolypoly. His
curly iron gray hair is usually care
lessly brushed back from his rather
low, but broad forehead. He is smooth
shaven, and his smooth round face
has been lightly touched in the matter
of wrinkles Many of his pictures
give him a rather .boyish appearance,
which is belied, however, by the firm,
aggressive chin and wide, strong
mouth with lips which compress firm
ly and an under lip which protrudes
lust enough to indicate the tenaeity OF
purpose, so strong a feature OF his
mental makeup. He dresses plainly,
usually in q single-breasted frock coat
Of generous proportions, and of dark
mixture. He is unostentatious and
though always neat, hardly suggests a
fashion plate.-Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly.

Woman's Waist.

Blouse effects with revers and vests
are exceedingly fashionable and make
most satisfactory waists for SIRE
costumes as we'll as for indoor wear.
The original of the smart May Manton
model shown in the large drawing is
made of tucked golden brown etamine
with vest of the plain material, full
front undersleeves and stitched bands
of taffeta in the same shade, small
jeweled buttons, revers, stock and
cuffs Of Russian lace, but all soft ma
terials suited to tucking are appro-
pirate.
The foundation for the waist is a
fitted lining. On it are arranged the
full front, vest portions and back and
fronts of the waist proper, which are
laid in fine tucks, while the fronts
are finished with revers. The sleeves
are made over a smooth lining 70
which the puffs are attached, and
which can be covered with the ma
terial when plain sleeves are desired.
The fare cuffs are attached to the
lower edges Of the upper sleeves and
the stock is joined to the full front
and closed inyisibly at the centre
back.
To cut this waist for woman OF
medium size, three and one-fourth
wards of material twenty-one inches
wide, three yards twenty-seven inches
wide, two and one-half yards thirty
two inches wide or one and five
eighth yards forty-four inches wide
win be required, with one and one
fourth yarus of taffeta, cHe and one
eighth yards Of all-over lace and three
and one-half yards Of stitched bands
to trim as illustrated.

Persian Cloth in Dull Shades

A pretty suit worn on the street was
of a Persian cloth in very dull shades
a bit of pale blue hardly showing in 1t
This gave occasion, however. fol
bringing out the costume with blue
and this, with black, was stylish
There was a black two-inch wide
band edging the skirt, which had o
drop skirt of pale blue which showed
as the skirts were raised; there was 8
black corsage belt with buckle OF
gold and turquois, a black boa, and 8
black hat in which there was also 9
little pale blue.

.sthmus in the days when the trip

tsthmus in the days when the trip
meant something. When the war
oroke out Mr.. Thurston promptly en-.
listed in the Confederate cavalry, and
served until the surrender of his regi-
nent in 1865. His great height and
covering figure made him a faVorite
target for Federal marksmen, and it
q estimated that thousands Of shots
we're fired directly at him during the
war. But some good fortune seemed
% watch over him, and he was wound
ed but once, and then slightly. In
1871 Mr.. Thurston removed to Titus
County, Texas, where he has since re.
sided. He is one Of the prominent
planters of Mount Vernon in the Lone
Star State, and has refused countless
offers to exhibit himself as an attrac.
ton at q dime museum.

Heard His Own Funeral Orntion

A few weeks ago at meeting of the
Agricultural Society Of the Depart
ment Of the Pas-de-Calais, France, one
Of the members was astounded to hear
his own funeral Grafton pronounced Dy
the president.
M. lie Presidentr' he exclaimed,
starting to his feet, II beg your pard-
on, but l think there Is some mistake.
| am the dead man.
When the roars Of laughter that fol-
lowed this announcement had sub
sided the President, with many apollo
gies, explained that the mistake had
arisen through the annual report OF
their proceedings that had been for
warded to the man having, through
some error of the postottice, been re-
turned with the word "Deceased'
marked on it.

Primitive Indian Designs.

There seems to be a tendency ID
many things to primitive Indian de
signs. 1t may not be that every de
sicner who uses them knows this, but
any one noticing styles in general will
see it. For instance, on a long ano
handsome evening coat which has ap
plications of cloth upon net, the CLOTH
of the upper part of the coat comes
down upon the net in sharp. slender
irregular points above a more con
ventional design. These sharp polnts
are comparatively new and very muG
the same as designs that are to be
seen upon old Indian rugs, and IL
them are intended to represent light
ming, perhaps, or some of the ele
ments.

The Boston Wool Market.

BradStreetS.
The market this week on the whole
has been fairly steady. While anima-
ton has not been forced, there has
been a natural, healthy movement. At
current low prices a good deal OF wool
is being solu, but conservatism in
transactions is general. In the opin-
ion CT sorne merchants, this conserva-
tism, resulting from reflection con
corning the causes of prevailing con-
ditions, may lead to change in the
methods of receiving and handling
wool, and merchants and manufacture
ers, instead of buying wool at the time
it is shorn to the extent of one-half
or more of the clip and carrying it,
may conclude to adopt the curse of
buying to meet consumptial require
ments or to replace stock as it is sold.
The process of liquidation of old stock
in the market goes on internationally
and is expected to ruiz out its course
in time. Wooden mills are doing a
good trade, but no indications are not
ed OF additions to facilities or prepar-
atoms for doing more than normal
business. Carpet woods, especially tap
estry. wilton and velvets, are active,
and there has been a slight advance
in prices. An exception is noted in
ingrain-carpet wool. the m~anufactur-
ing business having been lately I'M

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, March "A feeling OF
speculative lassitude was apparent In
the grain markets today, but while
the markets were restricted and fea-
tureless, prices held firm, wheat clos
ing 70 higher; corn with a like ad-
vance and oats unchanged. Provisions
were a shade more active and indie
pendently firm, closing sc to 5@7Rc
improved.
Wheat was lacking in everything
which goes TO make a market either in
teresting or important. Scalpers had 1t
almost entirely to themselves. Ope-
rators are waiting for developments
in the crop situation before assuming
a decided attitude in the pit, and as
the news today was colorless there was
NO reason for their breaking their rest.
May opened 1s lower at 1915 to 75A,
because Liverpool and Paris wsre de-
pressed and because OF the spring like
weather and THE fact THAT reports
of ~fy-damage are not as numerous as
the bulls could wish. Shorts covered
small lines in alarm at moderate re-
ceipts and reports of export sales at
other points ~aggregaging 10 loads. and
May rallied to 75B. Primary receipts
were SIG, 600 buShGls compared with
617, 900 bushels last year, while sea-
board clearances in wheat and our
we're equal to only 10000 bushels. Min
~nearolis and Duluth reported 305 cars
against 656 last week and $50 a year
ago. Local receipts were 56 cars, one
of contract grade.
For corn, the dullest market Of the
week existed. The trade was confined
to scalpers whose operations were
of no particular moment. Prices held
steady on firm cables, light country
offerings and ~softenings weather west.
ToGay's receipt Of 4S2 cars, contained

SILVER.
Rradstreets.

Very little interest is displayed in the
the silver market at present, the cur
rent demand fer the East and other
countries being. however, sufficient TO
absorb the offerings Variations in
the London quotations have been
fractional in character. the extremes
being 2Sh@2S Sled. which indicates
the limited nature of the dealings.
The tone, however. was steady, and no
signs of renewed weakness are APP
parent. AT New York the market
prices followed the changes at London
very closely, and no features of in
interest developed.
