CONCEALED HIS IDENTITY.
Martinsburg Has Been Entertaining a
Baron Unawares.

Martinsburg for some weeks has
been entertaining a member of a
royal family unawares. The inaf-
vidual was Baron l.. NJ. Won Gold
rose, an exiled editor from Germany
and an heir to large fortune.
He left Martinshurg yesterday
for New York to help settle the
House of Goldrose estate and to Sc
cure his share of 81, 200, 900. Dur
ing his stay at Martinsburg he was
known as "Max Goldrose" and had
been working with reliable farmer.
There is quite an interesting ro-
nance in connection with Baron
Goldrose's life.
He is graduate of the Heidel-
burg University and was former
editor of the Bromberger Tageblath
daily paper published at Brom-
berger, Germany. Owing to an
article published in an issue of that
paper which gave offense to the
crown, his property was conhscated
and he was exiled. He then came
to America where he has lived for
the past nine years, during which
time he has had varied experiences.
He speaks nine different languages
fluently, and gives every evidence
of being a polished gentleman.
After his arrival in this country he
engaged in the drug business In
Missouri. His place of business
there was recently destroyed by fire
after which, he went TO Martins
burg. New York lawyers notified
him that the sum above mentioned
was ready to be divided with his
two brothers and two sisters. Baron
Won Goldrose will return to Mar
tinsburg after he has secured his
inheritance.

POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE.

Probably Eve turned up her nose
at Adam until the Lord told her she
could have him.
There never was a woman who
didn't argue that a mole was a
beauty spot if she had one.
What becomes of the second
wives in heaven is as great mys-
terry as how thin people can have
fat children.
Most every man you meet is
either fatter or thinner than he can
afford to be.
How can any woman who wears
a straight front corset have her
heart in the right place.
Having sofa pillows that are too
nice to use has probably broken up
more homes than whiskey.
Inc TWO most uncomfortable
people In the world to have around
are the man who always tells the
truth and the man who never does.
A mans best friend is his most
foolish enemy.
Probably the real trouble was
that Jonah had been giving tracts
out to the sailors.
Marriage to a woman is the Ill
vIding line between the suppression
of expression and the expression OF
suppression.
If every couple really went crazy
when they first fell in love with each
other none of their friends would
ever know the difference.
What horrible thing it would
have been for the world if the Lord
had made Eve first and had let her
go ahead and create her ideal of a
man. New York Press.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
The Student and the BrIde-A Synop-
sis OF the styles.

Again we have them with us-the
girl who graduates this year." and
the one who is 'to be married in
June" The one is supposed to
have received an education; the lat
ter to have captured husband.
Whether she has secured him or
not, time alone can tell; and time
cannot always make premature state
ments in such delicate matters, even
were he ga mind TO" After a long
season of rain which almost in
clined everybody to the belief that
the anniversary of St. Swithin had
shifted to April Fifteen instead of
waiting until July, the summer sky
at last bends, blue and fair, above
us. All Gotham seems as alert and
active as vast hive of queen bees.
The play is not SO essentially 'the
thing" Dow-a-nights, for even our
amplest theaters, when well filled,
are veritable young sweat-boxes.
Still, one can stand a lot if a good
show is the objective point. | saw
a revival of "Rosedale" one night
last week, and the old play evoked
a host of dramatic "reminiscences.
But, alas the mantle of Lester Wal
lack has not fallen upon the ambi-
tious "play-actor" who essayed
his part.
Now for the fashions Bordered
nuns yelling is favorite. Lord &
Taylor show some patterns with
metallic borders; and Others with
silk ones matching the goods in
color. Send to them for samples
of their beautiful dress materials.
They will be happy to forward
them to my readers.
Fancy checked linen makes pretty
shirt waists.
Any preferred tartan may appear
in chic neck scarf.
Many new shirt waists button in
back.
The plainest style of slipper is
best adapted to the prettiest foot.
Bows and buckles are good to COW
er up defects.
Bizarre colors in stationery should
be avoided. White, cream, pale blue
and dainty gray, unruled, are al
ways correct.
Any white fabric, from -muslin to
satin, is correct for a young lady's
wedding gown.
Wreaths of flowers are worn by
some bridesmaids, in lieu of hats,
at evening weddings.
Some of the newest thin gowns
give tailor-made effect. One has
close bolero, and skirt fitting well
about the hips. More innings for
the r & c. corset
Silk taffeta and fine cloth CON-
bine in some smart gowns.
A popular fad is to trim white
garments with black velvet ribbon.
Endora cloth is much used for
mourning gowns.
Sashes form an important element
of an up-to-date summer dress.
Snakeskin belts are very smart.
Walking shoes have low, Cuban
heels and slightly extended soles.
