Did Not Look The Part.

Senator Bard of California is rather
careless about his dress, and is rarely
seen in the frock coat and shining silk
hat generally supposed by the provincial
to constitute the garb Of a Senator. His
brother. who somewhat resembles him, is.
on the contrary, very particular about his
apparel, and invariably wears clothes of
the test cut sad ties of the newest fash
ion e Bard brothers were travelling
together through the State last summer
when they met many OF the Senator S
constituents. At little station that lay
on their route rough old miner boarded
the train and. folding his hand out to
Mr.. Bard. said:
How dye do, Senator; glad to see yer
in these diggin's."

at Senator Bard. WAL" he remarked

On the threshold of one room they paused

One Iieaf Room.
There is in the city of Richmond one
ideal room that belongs to one fortunate
girl. The furniture is of French curled
maple, and the chairs and lounge are up
holstered in blue and white pattern OF
roses of French chintz. Inner curtains
Of soft muslin, with outer one Of the same
blue and white chintz, hang at the WIN
dows. On the low dressing table is spread
out to view, not the conventional toilet
set of silver, but ivory; which by the way
is extremely pretty and far easier to
keep clean. One side of the sunny bay
window is literally filed with sweet grow
ing flowers; the other holds an easy rock
ing chair, and close by a small work
table.
Drawn near to one of the windows
from where in the far distance can De
seen the James is her curled maple desk.
1t is the desk of a worker. for this girl
has something in her life besides the end
less round of germans, balls, and teas, but
it is essentially a feminine desk in dam
tiness. and, unlike most women's. is IN
perfect order The lounge is piled high
with dainty cushions Of inexpensive,
washable silk. and the room boasts of
one great, reclining chair of leather. In
the bookcase are a few OF her favorite
authors. and many well-known books on
travel and science and poetry. On the
carthage paper on the walls hang snap
shots, water-colors by friends, one OF two
good engrayings, and a vast amount of
photographs. framed and unframed col
lected abroad. In spite of all this flower
ing daintiness, in the far corner of the
room will be found her foils and dumb
bells and bicycle paraphernalia.
over the mantle hangs her gold-headed
riding whip and many a ''brush"-the
trophies of long runs over the Albemarle
hills; and in The place of honor, the soft
silk folds of a Confederate flag hang
above the sword her Sather wore the day
Pickett made his famous mile-long
charge.
Taken altogether. the room is an ideal
retreat. 1t is essentially feminine and at
the same time is the room of an ''ali

The GIri's Room.

A girls room is very apt to 30 through
the like stages OF change found in her
brothers. There will be the time wher
dolls and games and play-houses are
the principal objects to be seen; there
will be the period OF the school
girl when her looking glass viii be
hid behind gay valentines; there VIII
be the years when her room will
reveal her preference for one particular
college, because her special Idol in the
form of "halfback" claims that ausiere
institution of learning as his own; and
then there will come the time when this
same maiden will superiority tear down
all these trophies of childish things
and replace them with photographs and
German favors and the like.
The chief essential in girls room has
long been supposed TO be contained in one
word--daintiness. But in these days when
the athletic and college girl is so much
in evidence one cannct really go by any
set rules.

An event which has been looked for
ward to with great deal Of interest
will occur this evening, when the new
bowling alleys of the Electric City
wheelinen will be opened for the first
time. Ever since the club took pos
session of their present quarters on
jackson street the boys have labored
untiring to bring about this fea-
ture, and now that their work is about
completed. full measure of praise
should be meted out to them.
The elimination Of such an immense
undertaking has devolved upon all Of
the members. but to w. Hayden Evans
belongs especial credit for individual
work, which he has performed in con-
nection with the renovation and equip
ment Of the club house. For several
weeks he has given his time to bring
ing about the completion of the work,
and the task has been very trying in
deed.
The entire ground floor Of the build
ing has been remodeled in order to ac-
commodate the alleys. An addition of
twenty feet or more has been added to
the building, giving room for two al
leys and longer runway than any
other club in the city. The bath and
toilet rooms have been changed, and
n steam heating plant installed in the
basement.
There is also ample floor space for
spectators alongside the alleys, where
several hundred can easily be accom-
nodated at one sitting. The alleys are
the best that can be built and We're in
stalled by Steffen & Sons, of New
York whose men have been at work
in the club house for several weeks.
At the formal opening this evening
there will be the club members and
n large number of invited guests. The
Electric City wheelmen aim to estab-
lish business and professional mems
,lub in West Scranton second to none
in the city, and it is safe to predict
that before another year rolls around
the representative men Of this side will
be identified with them.
