it was cool, although the cool wave
had been making its appearance
gradually since noon of that day.
At six o'clock the cool weather
was a certainty, and instead of men
walking around town coatless and
vestless, and ladies strolling around
without hats on, the opposite was
the effect in almost every case, and
by seven o'clock those, unfortunate
enough not to have their wraps
handy were complaining of the at
mosphere being chilly. The ther-
mometer had tumbled to about 70
degrees at that time.
Between nine and ten o'clock
there was general stampede for
homes. Residents had been doing
business and WORK on about four
hours per night sleep ever since
July 4th, and they manifested a de-
sire to get a good nights sleep out
of the cool wave, fearing that it
might be of temporary duration only.
As a result the town was quiet at
ten o clock and the next morning
every body seemed refreshed and
happy. The thermometer was still
low and at noon Friday it was only
playing around the "A mark, with
EaovelY northeast breeze tanning the
sun g partly elouded rays.
The hottest day on record was
"Wednesday. Il was simply aboil-
|er. At places the thermometer
marked 1lO in the shade, while in
the coolest place it reached lO6.
People prayed and wondered when
the change would come, and when
it came it was admitted to be the
longest spell Of hot weather ever
experienced in this section, so far
as the memory of man could recall.
Reports of several horses having
been overcome BY heat in the har-
vest fields on that day have been
made.

ball game here Friday, and left for

few fireworks, Johnson touching
the ball for a double, Brown and
Chadderdon for singles, and with
two errors, Madison had three
scores, more to its credit before the
side was retired. The score stood
Z to 6 in favor of Madison, and Red
wood was retired IN one, two, three
order.
Neither side scored in the sixth

is Denied the Government Is keenIy the Alert

New York, March PA dispatch to the Herald from Rio Janeiro says:
 While it is officially denied that monarchist plot has been discovered there are many circumstances which show that the government is guard. ing against any attempt to overthrow 1t.
 A most significant action is tue sending of the cruiser Almiranta Baraso to Santos. The warship wlll go, ostensibly, to relieve the cruiser Tamayo. It is believed. however. that the authorities are not fully assured of the sympathy of the officers of the cruiser, and have therefore sent them away until all fear of an uprising Is removed.
 Precautions have been taken by the police and military also.
 Great precautions are also beng taken on the other war vessels.
 4 government decree just published proclaims the extinction of the plague, as 20 days have passed with out any new cases having been found. The quarantine, therefore. has been raised.

Pcllin, March 12.-Companies A and B of the Ninth United States infan- try have been notified that they are to remain in China. It is believed that Maj. Robertson will command them.

 NctOrtR's Remains

QUEEN VICToRIA,S FRIENDS.
Her Loyal Attachments to Women of the NobiIity-Godmoth to
 Their Children.

One of the most marked characteris- tics of Queen Victoria is said by those who knew her best to have been her loyal friendship for women. She never ceased 10 care for one she had loved even when separated by distance or death One of her earliest friends was Queen Louise of Belgium, mother of the present king of the Belgians. Al though the queen died in 1850, Victoria always remembered her affectionate- ly, and in one of her private rooms at Windsor castle four portrait of Queen Louise are still hanging.
 Her majesty's constant friendship for the ex-empress of the French is well known. From the moment of Eugenie's arrival in England as ref ugee she had been treated as beloved sister might be and is said to be all most prostrated by her grief at the queens death.
 But 1t was not only to royal women that Victoria gave her friendship Among those in her court were num- Der thus honored, and in her majesty's Journal of Life in the Highlands ' she frequently refers in terms of affec- tionate intimacy to Jane, marehioness of ElY. and Jane. Lady Churchill. Her liking g.exfended to their children, Lady Churchill's son being made a page of honor in the royal household when a boy. and later gentleman in waiting. The queen was godmother also. to hi' two children.
 In the "Journar Lady Ely is often spoken of as "Janie Ely" or Dear Jamie Ely" The duchess dowager of Athole was another of these friends, and is referred to as ''The Dear Ouch ess." Her maiesty.s liking for the duchess of Sutherland, who was mis- tress of the robes early in her reign, led to the celebrated "bedchamber in- cident" that so soon after her accession gave the key 10 the queens character. She refused to change her IaGies in waiting with the change of ministry, and in consequence the old administra- 'ion returned to power.
 The wife of thu queens secretary. Sir Henry PonsoHby. was one of the mai3S of honor before her marriage, and has always been connected with the court Her majesty was godmoth- CT to a son and daughter of her sec retary's wife, and was present al the marriage of her daughter in 1891, which was a signal favor, as she had not attended the wedding of subject in many years. She granted apart ments for life at St. James palace to Lady Ponsonby.
 Other valued friends of the queen were the duchess dowager of Argyll, the Dowager Lacy Southampton, the Dowager Lady Ampthill the duchess of Roxburghe and the duchess dowager of Abercorn. These are all living, to add their mourning to the general oripf

VAIL OF THE DRY GOODS MAN.
Short Skirts and New Knicker- booker Habit Playing Hob with
 the SiIk Trade.

'The short-skirt Ina bit is playing hob with the sale of the expensive silk petticoats which women were buying by the half dozen a short time ago." said a dry goods mer- chant to New York Sun reporter. At the faintest sign of bad weat her now woman jumps into stout shoes and an abbreviated skirt if she in tends going out. IL may be health full, but it's bad for trade.
 Golf has done it. The women have found out how comfortable those ankle skirts are, and now two wom- en out of three, for every daytime excursion they make that isn't for very formal purpose, wear sensible attire, as they call it. So far as city walking goes the fad started in earnest less than a year ago. Now almost every woman you meet is a rainy daisy.
 With the short-skirt habit they're getting another craze which, as man and a dry goods dealer, I'm equally opposed to. They're quit ting wearing pettieoats at all and they're wearing knickerbockers That's an English fad. You can tell the women who've got it by the skimpiness of their skirts. The ef- feet isn't pleasing and I can tell you the dry goods trade doesn't approve of it at all. Those things wear so long.
 If this fad doesn't pass soon there'H be slump in the silk trade" concluded the dry goods man, gloomily.
