stoddard's Millinery Open
ing

The grand millinery opening at
Stoddard's last Friday and Satur-
day was success, regardless of
the bad weather. The millinery
rooms we're handsomely decorated
in the national colors made out of
mousline. The corners and
shelves were filled with ported
plants and cut flowers and the
room presented a beautiful ap-
pearance. Everything conceiv-
able in the millinery line ofsthe
latest pattern was on exhibition
to the visitors. The Missouri
Valley Mandoline Club discoursed
splendid music during the after
noon and evening of each day.
The goods displayed were of the
most beautiful and the designs in
hats we're the finest ever seen in
the city. Taken altogether (con-
sidering the weather) Stoddard's
millinery opening was the most
successful one ever held in this
city.

Carrier Waggoner, of the r II

characters, though, is up on the
steps in front of the Spanish
| Palace. The steps are about 100
feet high and from IS to SO feet
wide, aud all the different kinds
of models come there at noon to
try and get position with some
of the painters. Honestly, | be-
lieve | saw more different kinds OF
humanity there in half an hour
than have ever seen before, and
no one coming to Rome should
think of letting that place go
past unnoticed. Any kind of a
man from six months to los years
old and any kind of a woman
from wooden shoes to "Worth' $"
latest patterns.
Here's another one. Think of
a man carrying bag of coal on
his head and the bag ut least four
fleet long and a foot wide. That
sounds little strong but it is
true. They have band around
the bottom of the bag and 1t fiys
over the forehead and the bag
runs up in the mir about four feet
The first one l saw I thought was
freak, but it seems to be very
common. | should think it would
break their necks but it don't
seem to. When people move
from house to house here they
have four or five men load their
things in wagon that is just
about one half as large as an f.,
d. and M. V. box car, and instead
of having horses haul it away the
men hitch themselves up in the
harness and away they go. 1t
don't seem to create much of a
sensation here but l know it
would at home. That is-clties
are all just alike with the excep-
ton of what people do when they
are on the streets. Rome would
be just like Berlin if Rome was
filled with Berlinea and l sup
pose there wouldn't be much diff.
ference between them if Berlin
was filled with Romans.

THE BLATTA ORIENTALIS.
lea which Has Found Its
Way to England.

The blatta orientalis is about three
times as large as an English "black-
beetle" and is we'll known to sailors
in the tropics as one of the many
pests of ships. This tropical or east.
ern cockroach has been transported
to the ZOO" the eggs being carried
there in packing cases containing rep.
tiles and beasts from warm countries,
and has found congenial climate in
oriental or otherwise, are very fond
of water, having, like most other
loafers and vagrants, an unquench-
able thirst. AS the foreign cock
roach flies by night, when it looks
like an enormous water-beetle, it has
been able to occupy an ideal home, an
island full of caves, and surrounded
not only with water, but by abun-
dance of food. The island, says the
London Spectator, is a big log in the
center of the steamy crocodile pool.
The log is full of splits and crevices,
in which these monster cockroaches
live, and from which they keep
bright lookout for the bits of soaked
bread, bun, apple and other eatables
which people who think that croc-
odiles are like roach, and will nibble
bread. drop into the muzzles of the
sleeping saurians. When large
piece of bread floats up against the
log the cockroaches make up
salvage party, and, dragging it to
their main cave below, make com
munal feast. Numbers are caught
and used as food for the insect-eating
lizards, so they are to some extent
useful importation.

OUR FoREFATHERS HONEST.
In Most Cases They bought Their
Lands from the
Indians.

Sometimes historians tell us that
it was only Dutchmen and not Eng
lishmen who bought the red mems
land instead of stealing it, says the
Atlantic Monthly. Such statements
have been made in New York, but if
we pass on to Philadelphia we hear
that it was only Quakers who were
thus scrupulous, and when we arrive
In Baltimore we learn that it was
only Roman Catholics. In point of
fact, it was the invariable custom
OF European settlers on this Atlantic
coast to purchase the land on which
they settled, and the transaction was
usually recorded in a deed to which
the sagamores affixed their marks.
Nor was the affair really such a mock
cry as it may at first thought seem
to us. The red man got what he sore
ly coveted, steel hatchets and grind
stones, glass beads and rum, perhaps
muskets and ammunition, while he
was apt to reserve sundry rights of
catching game and fish.
A struggle was inevitable when the
white mans agriculture encroached
upon and exhausted the Indians
hunting ground; but other circum-
stances usually brought it on long be-
fore that point was reached. The age
OF iron superseded the stone age in
America by the same law of progress
that from time immemorial has been
bearing humanity onward from bru-
tai savagery to higher and more per-
feet life In the course of it our fore
fathers certainly ousted and dispos-
sessed the red men, but they did not
do 1t in spirit of robbery.

would Change the Name

Sing Sings name is derived from
"Sint Sics.' the title of a former
branch of the Mohegan Indians. The
inhabitants of the town want to call
it Ossining, which is the name of the
township. There is so much in name
that the citizens are tired of being
identified in the public mind with a
big prison. They attribute the loss in
population shown by the census to
this fact. Manufacturers have avoid.
ed the place because the public would
think they dealt in prison-made goods.
1t is suggested that every penitentiary
should have distinct name of its
own

THEY WEAR KNEE-BREECHEs.
Ex-secretary Foster Gives Amusing
Incidents of Some of Our Rep
resentatives Abroad

Hon. John w. Foster, former secre.
tary of state. and one of the most wide
ly experienced of American diplomats,
tells in the Saturday Evening Post in
teresting and amusing instances of
American Diplomats and Court Cos
tunes" The ladies will be interested
in knowing that in diplomacy extreme
consideration is given to the kind of
clothes which the representatives wear.
In the course of his article Mr.. Foster
says:
Some ministers have made them
selves ridiculous by securing an ap-
pointment in the state militia, and
making use of that uniform. A story
is told of one of our representatives at
European court who appeared at
the palace in the garb of a captain of
a cavalry troop, post he had filled at
home, which led the monarchical dip
lomats, attracted by his metal helmet,
quizzically to ask if he belonged to a
fire company in Americal The instruc-
tions of the department of state now in
force construe the law to allow of such
a departure from simple dress as
will secure our diplomats welcome ad-
mittance at court ceremonies.
For instance, the members of the
United States embassy in London ap-
pear on state occasions in knee -breech-
es. with metal buckles on their shoes,

pApIER-MAcHE ARMoR.
How II Is DispIacinE steel mt tine
Present Time--Ancestral Mail
at Small Cost.

This is an age of imitation and
stucco. The chrome and the chromo-
photograph are elbowing the oil
painting aside, and now papiermache
is beginning to displace steel, iron
and bronze for making the armor
which is supposed to have been worn
by the dead but sceptered sovereigns
of literature. Several philanthropic
firms are now turning out armor of
any and every period made out of it,
says the New York Evening Post.
According to the wishes of the Gus
toners, they will hnsh it in bright
steel, silver and gold inlay, hammered
brass, rusty iron or malachite.
The new goods are warranted not
to break easily or to cut any unfor-
tunate guest upon whom they happen
to fall. Arranged in the hall or upon
the wall of the salon, they are guar
anteed to deceive the best critics, and
to give all the satisfaction of the
genuine suit of mail worn at Poitiers
or Crecy.
People whose ancestors INDUCED in
crusading or took part in the long
wars between England and France
can reproduce the ancestral mail at
comparatively small cost. If neces-
sary, you can have the breastplates
worn by the Puritan and the skull
caps of Cromwell's Ironsides. The
new invention has aroused the enmity
of the dealers in antique armor, both
ancient and modern, who declare that
1t is intended to ruin their industry.
1t may be recommended, however, to
prudent housekeepers and careful
mothers. A papier-mache battle-ax
or a double-handled swora may be
intrusted to toddler of four without
the least danger to the baby in the
cradle or the cat by the fireplace.
They may, however, break window,

New York Gets Relief.

New York, July 5.-A severe thunder storm swept over this city this afternoon and brought with it comfort to millions of heat-stricken New Workers. The tenn perature fell 15 degrees in less than two hours and over two inches of rain fell. Some of the sewers, unable to carry off the tremendous volume of water, burst, flooding the streets in various localities, and in many cases stores and residences. Lightning struck several buildings, but no serious damage was done.
 Seven deaths and twelve prostrations occurred in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx between the hours of ? a- m. Friday and 80 this morning from the heat.
 One death and five prostrations occurred in the borough of Brooklyn.
