trated one day this week in an east end
house. The lady Of the house received
word from a friend that she was COM
ing out the next day for lunch. Now,
it happened that the next day was the
day on which the servant girl had her
day off, and the lady Of the house made
up her mind that she would surprise
her friend by getting up a nice lunch
prepared by herself, for she had the
reputation when they were young la
dies of not being able to cook. while
her friend had the reputation Of being
an excellent cook.
The day her friend was expected the
lady went to market and laid in sup
ply Of all the good things which go to
make up fine lunch. She went home
and lighted the fire and prepared for
the cooking Just then she discovered
that she had forgotten TO get some
fruit and told her young daughter to
tell her friend when the latter came
that she would be back in few mo-
ments. She went to the store and.

awhile. forgetting how time was flying.
In the meantime the friend arrived.
and being told that her hostess would
soon be home. she went into the kitch-

she went to work and cooked and pre-
pared the lunch. When the lady of the
house arrived home. she was astonish-
ed to see the table set and most ap-
petizing lunch on the table. The sur
prise she had intended for her friend
was a surprise for her. - Pittsburg

LAST OF THE SEASON
RACE FOR ASTOR CUPS TO BE
SAILED TODAY.

NEWPORT, r. l.. July 2S.-The last
racing event Of this years cruise of the
New York Yacht club will be sailed to-
morrow when the flyers of the fleet will
compete In the annual contest for the
Aston cups. This race has long been one
of the principal features of the cruise
having been founded by the late ogden
Goelet over twenty years ago and con-
tinued since his death by John Jacob AS
tor. Mr.. Goelet having offered two val
liable cups for schooners and sloops and
Mr.. Astor duplicating them each year.
Each cup defender since the days of the
Puritan III 1885 has competed in the sloop
class, and all have won with the excep-
ton of the Defender in 1885, which was
disabled within four miles of the finish
when miles ahead
Up to the present year $1,000 cup has
always been given in the schooner class
ana $5OO cup for sloops, but tomorrow
the value of these prizes will be reversed
the larger OF the cups going to the
sloops, cutters and yawIs, While the
smaller cup is offered to schooners. The
reason for this change is that for the
past Few years the schooner fleets have
been constantly diminishing. the interest
being almost entirely with the sloobs.
For tomorrow's race fifteen sloops and
YaWls have been entered, while only
three SchoonerS will probably start in
that class AS the Sloop and yaWl class

English Financfers Watching the

ing for Settlement of
Steel Strike.

LONDON, July 2S.-The supply Of
money was rather scanty last week, as
the government disbursements after the
payments on the consul loans We're small.
Although there was little demand for
money, rates remain firm. Stocks We're
irregular, liquidation proceeded in many
accounts, but it is thought this about
concludes the liquidations. Therefore,
with prices at about the lowest figures,
favorable reaction may reasonably be
expected. At present, however, there is
little local enthusiasm. Nor is there any
continental support, the continental
bourses having troubles of their own.
Hope is pinned to Americans and the
hardening tendency in New York has
been followed by somewhat more steadi-
ness in London. A settlement of the
steel strike would aid materially. Au-
thentic figures as TO the extent of the
damage to crops in the United States are
eagerly awaited for their effect upon
