Miss Barrymore inter- pretS the delicious humor of MT fitch's lines in a polished and telling manner and in addition wears the gro tesque costumes of the early seventies with such alluring grace that one need not be surprised if there is an an- nouncement some of these days of tho revival of the hustle. the chignon md other oddities in feminine adornment of thirty years ago.

 One day she called carpenter and planned with him to have some work done about the house in the way of putting up shelves, etc, and she went over the ground with him as carefully as possible to get from him an estimate of what it would cost.
 After the work was done the bill submitted was considerably in excess of the sum first named. The French woman endeavored to remonstrate, but only succeeded in making the fol- lowing remarkable statement to him:

preston is tn 1t the brokers, of whom
there are some 5000 all told, are wal

as do not speculate, but confine their
business to the legitimate exaction of
eights and quarters for services rem
dered, despise a steady boom. What
they want is an active market with
rapid fluctuations, in which their Gus
toners both sell and buy. The present
market is dangerous. 1t is too one
sided. The short interest has been
eliminated. 1t is bankers market,

MRS. EASTMAN CHEERING HER
HUSBAND.

The Eastman murder trial at Cam
bridge, Mass. has been exciting wide
spread interest throughout the United
States and even in Europe. Charles
r. Eastman, accused of the murder of
Richard Grogan. is professor at Har-
ward University. The crime was com
mitted in the latter part of 1899. A
telegram from a correspondent who
has been reporting the celebrated trial
said:
Mrs. Grogan and Mrs. Eastman are
living together, and there is every ev-
ldence of harmony among the accused,
his wife and the widow of the man he
killed. Mrs. Grogan is small, slender
and dark. She goes to the courthouse
every day with her sister, but is ex-
rluded from the proceedings, as she
is witness. Mrs. Eastman watches
the scene all day. She sits far from
her husband. who under one of the
many peculiar provisions of the Bay
State law. is isolated in silvered
steel cage. the front of which is open.

Boom in ImmiGrdfion.

A natural but almost unnoticed re-
suit of the present good times in the
United States is found in the records of
the great steamship lines which bring
steerage passengers across the water
Without exception these transatlantic
steamers are carrying more immi-
grants just now than they have had
to carry before for years. Each of the
big boats arriving at New York brings
with it from one to two thousand Eu-
ropeans who are coming to make their
homes and, If possible, their fortunes
in the United States. AS has been the
case for a number of years, a large
proportion of these new citizens are
natives of the south of Europe or of
some one of the Slavonic countries.
When business is depressed immigra-
tion falls off. Just now business is at
the flood tide and the steamers from
Europe are consequently crowded be-

THE EAS6MAN 6RIAL.

though congress failed to make an ap-
preparation for this exposition, the
Charleston people are far from dis
for the buildings and the scheme has
been placed upon a sound financial
basis. Several Eastern cities have
promised to participate, among them
Philadelphia and Baltimore. Cuba,
Porto Rico and adjoining islands will
contribute exhibits. AS the exposition
is commercial in its character, and in
tended to develop trade relations be-
tween North and South, the Charles
ton people are determind it shall be
a success, and they will offer unusual
inducements to attract exhibitors and
visitors. One of these will be the cot
ton palace, which is to be built by the
city of Charleston, in which cotton
will be on exhibition in all its stages.
from it's growing in the soil to its
preparation for the spinner and its
final appearance as manufactured

opens almost directly after the close of
the Pan-American undoubtedly many
of the exhibits as well as popular en-
tertainments of the latter will find
their way there. and thus add to its at
tractIveness. But apart from this the
spirit with which the people of that
state have entered upon the work
promises a decided success.

Col. Sim" Baston, now a reputed

amusing story of the only direct com

says, while on my uppers in Louisi-

the government was s119, and used to
lie awake nights planning how would
blow the money in, was terribly dis
appointed when the supervisor told me
l would have to wait for government

mittance would be along in a few days,
and began to haunt the postoffice, eX-

that up for about sixty days, and
meanwhile missed several good
chances of getting job. About a

Capable of discharging 116 bullets
A minute. at high initial velocity, the
new automatic pistol adopted by the
Board of Ordnance and Fortihcatioh
Tor the United States army is In many
respects a remarkable weapon. AS
first step toward the equipment of the
army with the new arm, an order for
one thousand of the pistols for the
use of the cavalry has been placed
with the manufacturers. Exhaustive
tests by government experts have been
made. which seem to indicate that the
principle of the automatic field gun
and the magazine rife have been COM
bined in practical form in a pistol
no heavier than the revolvers with
which the army is now equipped.
Named for its inventor, George Lu-
ger, a former officer in the Austrian
army. the Luger automatic pistol is
made by the German Arms and Am
unition factories. This concern has
manufactured about five million
Mauser rifles for European nations,
and has also brought out several types

that the new pistol was the result of

Recent tests in Springfield armory
covered accuracy of aim, penetration,
velocity of projectile. speed of fire, en-
iurance and the usual dust. rust and
iand tests. and a speed of 116 shots
per minute was attained, while the
accuracy of aim with rapidity was
ihown by a score of twenty-four bulls

who could make only nine out Of
twenty eight with the other styles of

Ing into any of the precious metals.
There is the ever handsome and ever
useful shell, amber, which is beautiful
with some tresses-not least frequent
ly with blonde. Combs of amber with
waved tops of lovely design are some
times ornamented with rhinestones set
in sterling silver. The combs OF tor
toise shell have lost none of their pop
ularity. Among the fads of the mo-
ment are hair clasps. or barrettes, of
plain or chased matt gold. A novelty
is the stout hairpins with jeweled
heads. These come either singly or in
pairs and are used at the back of the
head, crossed. If desired. and, as an
excuse for their existence, they are
supposed to keep stray short hairs in
order. Verify, II many more of these
dainty devices are brought into daily
use, we shall soon have as many differ
ent pins and combs to support our coif-

Show Bull of Golden Gate Park Re
ceives Castigation.
Somehow or other bullies always
are come up with" and when that
time arrives they find there's no sym
pathy for them. For months Ben had
bullied the other buffoloes in Golden
Gate park, San Francisco. He had
three companions, and while he wasn't
especially vicious-merely ripping
open horse as he was being placed in
the paddock-he was lover of rough
house" But one day Ben got off his
feed. He played no practical jokes.
His companions didn't know what to
make of it, and they still kept at a re-
spectful distance from him. AS the
days went by the keeper noticed that
Ben's coat was losing its gloss, that he
was getting thin and seemed shaky on
his feet. 1t was at the early morning
feeding one day that Ben stood at the
usual place, but he ate not. His com
panions, being somewhat used by this
time to seeing him refuse his food,
cantered up to the breakfast place, al
most touching Ben. To their intense
surprise Ben didn't manifest any re-
sentiment. When he was well he
would have beloved and butted at
such familiarity. Just to see what
would happen, one young bull gave
Ben a shove, and Ben walked off lit
tie way. With a snort of scorn the
three once-bullied bulls went to feed
ing. After breakfast they began to
feel gay, and the same brash young
fellow trotted off, then turned and
faced Ben, sounded the charge and
charged. But the old fear got the bet
ter of him, and a few feet from Ben he
executed a quick right turn and faced
about. Ben, however. never stirred.
This satisfied the enemy, and he
made a second charge at Ben that
meant business. Ben went over in a
heap. yet rose pretty groggy but now
in the ring, for he lowered his head
and prepared to meet his jubilant an
tagonist. They did meet, and it was a
knockout for Ben. Then the other two
bulls, seeing that nothing more was
to be feared from Ben became nightly
courageous. and the three took out
their ancient grudge until the hide and
head of Ben was. scarcely fit for mu-
scum purposes. The bully had been
