MISShAPEN PEARLS.
Fashionable Folk Prefer tho Imperrect
Gems at Present.


1t is quite the fad for men returning
from abroad to wear large, misshapen
pearls mounted as a scarfpin. These
pearls are frequently Of large size and
sometimes of excellent color They arc
sold in Paris as genuine pearls, though
al less price than a perfect pearl Of
the same size would bring. A young
man wearing one which was nearly as
large as the end of his thumb came
into a down town Office on Saturday,
says the Philadelphia Telegraph. The
pearl was mounted on a scarfpin. Il
was lOpsided and generally out Of
drawing. why don't you get a good
imitation? They are cheap" said a
man who noticed. This is the real
thing and not an imitation" said the
wearer. An even bet was made On it,
and when the expert who examined ii
pronounced it a genuine pearl the
critic was forced to pay. They are one
Of the abnormal features of the Paris
exposition, and Americans have
brought them home as souvenirs. An
other craze of which returning tourists
tell, though as yet few are adopting it,
is the fashion OF stringing ones self
about with common glass beads, like
the veriest savage. Two well-known
representatives of the best society have
been seen thus adorned, but in each
case the chains were broken by pieces
of turquoise cabochon. CabOchon or
no, however, they are decorative de-
tails most elementary and barbaric in
appearance, truly relic OF primitive
countries. 1t is not likely they will
have much vogue, howeyer,in exclusive
circles here, for they are too easily i'm
itated.

In mentioning fine arts people are

drives out moral discord and substi-

WHY HE NEVER MARRIED.
The image of His Dead Fiancee
Never Faded From His
Heart.

"Mr Buchanan, who was the
first bachelor elected to the Presi.
dency, was siXty-fve years of age
when elected. and had deliberate
ly given himself to life of celibacy,
writes William Perring, in the May
Ladies Home Journal, I'm the
days when he was young lawyer
of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he had
loved Miss Coleman, a beautiful
daughter of a citizen of that town.
They had been engaged to be mar
ried when one day he was surpris-
ed to receive from her request to
release her from.the promise. Ac-
cording to Mr.. George Ticknor Cur
tbs, the separation originated in a
misunderstanding on the part of
the lady, who was unusually SEN
sitive. over some small matter ex-
aggerated by glddy and indiscreet
tongues. Soon after the estrange-
ment she was sent to Philadelphia,
and there died suddenly. Through
out the rest of his life, or for near
ly half a century, Mr.. Buchanan is
not known to have revealed to any
body the circumstance of this ro-
mantle tragedy. He would only
say that it hadschanged his hopes
and plans, and had led him more
deeply than ever into politics as a
distraction from his grief. In his
old age, long after he had retired
permanently to private life, he
called attention to package con-
aiming, he said, sthe papers and
relics which would explain the
causes of his youthful sorrow, and
preserved evidently with the idea
of revealing them before his death.
But when he died, and his will read
it was found that he had directed
that the package should be burned
without being:lopened, and his in
junction was obeyed.

IA thousand bugle calls from the
rosy FIRE of the east heralded her
coming; a thousand smiling mead
oIs kissed her garments as she
passed and ten thousand laughing
gardens unfurled their Aowery
flags to her. The heart of the deep
forests trobbed a tribute to bird
song and the bright water rippled
a melody of welcome. Youth and

Bryan Democrats Protest
Against Ohio Platform.

Cleveland. July 1.-THE official mani
festo Of the Bryan Democracy" Of
Ohio has been issued It is addressed
to '.the Bryan Democrats of Ohio and
charges that the Ohio convention re
pudiated the two last Democratic ma
tional platforms and that the action OF
the convention was the result of a con
spiracy mapped out at the headquar-
ters OF New York The platform con-
cIudes as follows.
If the action of this convention
stand unrebuked then it must be un-
derstood that the Democratic party as
such has repudiated the principles en-
unciated in the Kansas City platform
and ratified and approved Of the course
pursued by the Republican party upon
the money question. If the Democratic
party abandons the principles laid
down in the platforms OF 1896 and 1900
then it may as well close its political
career, for there is little else Of i'm
portance to fight for
