Prolonged continuance OF the inclement
weather made the postponement OF the
baseball game which was to have peen
played b. the st. Louis and Pittsburg CLUBS
on Monday afternoon an unavoidable neces-
sity. Hence loyal followers OF the local
club were not obliged to go into cold stor-
age. The day was SO cold and so wet thai
baseball playing was out Of the question.
The game with Pittsburg which was to
have been played on April q will be played
on July q. The Chicago game which was
postponed from Thursday, April Is. will DO
played on July Is. Both these games Will
be played in ST. Louis. II the weather per-
mits playing on April q there will be a game
between the st. Louis and Pittsburg clubs
at League Park. Play will be called at
$50 p. n.
The st. Louis club is due to open the
Pittsburg grounds on Friday next The
floods which at present prevail in Pennsyi-
vania may make a postponement OF this
game imperative. Just at present the Pitts
burg baseball park Is part Of the bottom OF
the Allegheny River. The park Is situated
on low ground and floods at every rise Of

The LOVELY PARASOL

Examples Of Chiffon and Lace Made to
Match Costumes.
Parasols for the summer Of 1901
have appeared. and lovelier were nev-
cr seen. Some exquisitely dainty e1-
amples are Of chiffon, used in different
ways. White chiffon, for instance. is
gathered over colored silk and finished
with a deep ruff1e Of the chiffon dou-
bled; or it may be all white, like a
great snowflake. or bright color may
be toned down by black. Sometimes
it is black over white, or ruffles OF
color are used on q white or black
foundation.
Lace also Is largely in evidence, and
the beautiful hand run Spanish lace
80 popular some years ago has re-
turned, some superb covers being
shown, both in black and white.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have them carefully laid away may
now bring them out for renewed use
fulncss.
Lace is introduced also into silk
parasols in many ways. Some have
several straight lines Of insertion en-
circling the shade; some have them
arranged vertically, and others show
incrustations Of separate designs. An
exquisite parasol has on each gore a
spray Of fuchsia leaves, Of white chif-
fon and silver embroidery, with de-
tached fuchsias of the same delicate
composition futtering at every move
ment.
Jet spangles appear on many OF the
lace designs. and silver spangles are
employed with embroidery and inser-
ton. a bewitching example Is Of white
silk, with large ostrich plume de-
sign of black lace on every section,
each plume being Illuminated by sill
yer spangles with charming effect.
Lovely parasols of silk in Dresden
designs are seen, and many Of them
are bordered by chiffon ruffles. Some
have brilliant flower patterns on white
grounds or black in stripe effects.
There never were so many styles from
which to choose, indeed, and one may
find even the striped "watered silks
of her grandmother's days If she de-
sires, while for those who wish abso-
lutte simplicity there are plain colors
in soft satin or silk.
In handles the usual variety is seen,
but many of the richest parasols have
large handles of natural wood. Some.
however, have slender sticks enamelled
in colors to match or contrast with
the covering of the parasol.-New York
Tribune.

What tha Re{Iectiye Policemen Think.

Have you ever thought what re-
ncctive person a policeman must be!
That is, one in quiet, remote district,
or watchman in village who wandcrs
up and down on his beat in company
with his thoughts? Well, made bold
to ask one recently what he reflected
upon. At first he eyed me suspiciously,
and believe he thought heres another
wild-eyed Boston crank" But the first
mists of misgiving cleared away, and his
reply was interesting. We'll, | am
thinking most how to spend my salary
and educate my boys and girls. Then
sometimes | wonder when I'm out
nights what the good little woman will
have at breakfast. No; ringing at the
call box is a matter of habit. Yes, l
sometimes have a quiet little chat like
this then I'm watching the cabs turning
out their loaded cargoes at the fine
houses, in the small hours Of the morn

ing money, is curse to the average
young man. We could tell stories if we
chose, but we keep the peace, you

twinkle, as his eye reflected a ray from
the hickering street lamp. The hours
of the night all have different atmos-
phere. and l could tell the hour by the
very atmosphere, if there were no town
clocks. Well, l must keep moving and
try and add up one whole nights think

Time End re,ephone Work wonders.

81 was startled the other day, and In
an entirely new way" said promi-
nent electrical engineer. The use OF
the telephone has become so much a
part of my life that in talking with
my friends and acquaintances every
few days, apparently kept up the ac-
quaintance as of old when used to
see them more regularly. A few days
ago had occasion to visit an old-time
friend of mine with whom l had
talked probably once week or oftcner
for the past three or four years, but
whom had not seen during that Pc
riod. When 1 met him 1 was startled.
His black beard had turned gray, al
most white, and he had changed In
other respects as was natural during
the three or four years of that period,
yet through the use Of the telephone l
had in my minds eye seen him as Of
old every time had talked with him,
and you may imagine how surprised,
even shocked, was to see this change
in him. Did you ever have a similar
experience? I imagine the increasing
use of the telephone causes many OF
them. You hear the usual voices on
the telephone and mentally picture the
friend as he looked when you saw him
last-which may have been year or
several years in the past."-Electrical
Review.

Coiored Elaopoles.

"White is, of course. still the prevail
ing color fer painting flagpoles,' said
nagpole man, but you see nowadays
more colored flagpoles than you used to,
and | don't know but what | like the
colored fagpoles pretty we'll. White is,
| suppose, after all the proper color for
Aagpole. The white pole seems to
stand up more mast-like and defiant, but
the colored pole is more picturesque.
The poles that thus far have been
painted in other colors than white have
most of them been painted red, terra
Gotta red. And in my judgment this
deep red is a pretty coed color for a
flagstaff. Red is a good color to stand
exposure; it shows wear less than white
does, and so people paint 'em red.
"As to green, that l must say seems
at first like an odd and inappropriate
color for a flagstaff surmounting build
ing. Nevertheless, pole in dark green
may be a dignihed and slightly object,
and there is one advantage pertaining
to a green pole, namely, it shows OH
the gilt top-piece. if there is one, to fine
advantage. l have in mind one dark
green pole upon the summit OF which,
rising above the gilded metallic fixture
indicating the points of the compass, is
a fine. gildcd eagle, this whole top-pieee
of gold showing very strikingly and et-
fectively by contrast with its dark green
support York Sun.

Sentimentality in Dress.

FLOWERS upon clothing are a SYM
Dol of the tyranny in which women
are held" said NJ. Van de Velde, a
Belgian artist, who lectured in Vienna
recently. In the opinion Of NJ. Van
de Velde, the uniform attire Of men
at a dinner or public function ex-
presses more beauty than does the
hit-and-miss effect of the women's
costumes. The mixed colors of the
present gowns, he said, destroy the
rhythmical line Of beauty and create
only color dissonance. If women
would adopt the idea of uniform
toilet they would soon accustom
themselves to it. The floral designs
so frequent upon women's clothing
are the consequence of trivial senti-
mentality and result from the habit
Of likening women to flowers.
Clothing should fulfil the laws OF
logic and reason, and should cover,
not conceal. This, NJ. Van de Velde
declared, is forgotten by present day
tailors, who smother the figure in a
cloud of puhfs, bows, flounces and
pleats, all producing the effect Of a
formless mass. Perfection in costume
must combine, he said both health
and beauty.

As They Chose.

While waiting for the train the bride
and bridegroom walked slowly up and
down the platform.
II don't know what this joking and
guying may have been to you," he re-
marked, "but it's death to me. ! never
experienced such an ordeal"
Its perfectly dreadful she an
swered. II shall be so glad when we
get away from everybody we know"
They're actually impertinent," he
went on. "Why, the very natives"
At this unpropitious moment the
wheezy old stationmaster walked up
to them.
'Be you goin' to take this train?" he
asked.
Its none of your business" retorted
the bridegroom, Indignantly. as he
guided the bride up the platform.
where they cendoled with each other
over the impertinence Of the natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. It was the last to
their destination that day; an express
nearer, it came at full speed, then in
a moment it whizzed past and was
gone.
"Why in thunder didn't that train
stop! yelled the bridegroom.
"'Cos you sed 'twarn't none OF my
bizness. I has to signal If that trains
to STOP"
And as the old stationmaster softly
stroked his beard there was a wicked
twinkle in his eye.-London Spare Mo-

Black ard white muslins will lead

One-clasp gloves are shown as the
latest thing to accompany the long

Batiste is popular this season, and
it is frequently embroidered and ap-

While blue and white India silks are
always the standby this season creme
and white Is considered smarter.
A very chic silk waist Is made Of
black taffeta, trimmed with rows OF
narrow ribbon in Persian colors and
design.
The corselet skirt gains popularity
rather slowly. There are more to be

judice against piercing the ears or
opening old holes the earrings very
cleverly fasten to the ears with gold
clamps.

INSIDE JAPAN.
Fist Fights Preface Death Struggles No
Wife-Beating.


Wife-Beating.
In spite Of qualities of easily aroused
antagonism, Of pride and Spartan
ideals, the Japanese are an essentially
gentle race-more so than the Anglo
Saxons. Broils in which one man hits
another are of rare occurrence; blows
are generally the preface Of a death
struggle. The women may often SUI
fer from the prevailing ideals of mo-
rality, which are yet much lower than
ours, but there are few wife-beaters.
and the home atmosphere is almost al
ways outwardly peaceful. 1t follows
that little true poltieness on the part
of the foreigner goes long way. and
almost invariably meets with q warm
recognition; you rarely appeal to the
Japanese in vain. They are rs quick
to respond to an act Of real kindness
rs they are to resent IN act which has
a tinge Of arrogance. Our Government
allowed several transports with re-
turning volunteers to stop at Yoko-
hama, and so hundreds of American
soldiers visited that city and Toxic.
One Of them hired bicycle and was
taking a ride about the streets Of Yo-
kohama when he ran down an elderly
Japanese man. The soldiers rang his
bell several times, but the Japanese
apparently paid no attention to it, and
the American found himself promptly
arrested and taken to court, where he
was fined ten 'yen" (s5). He protested
that he had done everything possible
to avert the accident, and asked why
the man made not attempt to set out
of the way. The policeman then told
him that the man was blind. The SOL
dier looked dazed for a minute, then
felt in his pocket and brought out q
ten-dollar bill. Here" he said, Its
the ,ast I've got, but he can have It."
and he turned it over to the blind man.
The japanese were deeply touched,
ana that same day delegation of po-
licemen hunted up the soldier and gave
him back his fine.-Anna N. Benja-
min, in Ainslee's.
