Ensign Mitchell on Leave Of Absence.
Personal and Social Men.

Ensign A. N. Mitchell, of the United
States navy, is visiting his uncle, DR..
Hugh B. Mitchell in Canton. His home
is at New Philadelphia, and he is now
enjoying a two months leave of alb
sence.
Ensign Mitchell has been eight years
in the navy, having graduated from the
Annapolis academy. During this time
he has been in all parts of the world
and has had some rather thrilling
experiences, but was denied the dis
tinction of having been engaged In
either of the great naval fights Of the
Yanko-Spanko war. He was, however,
on board the cruiser Columbia, which
was part of General Miles escort when
he went to Porto Rico.
In 1893 he went round the horn"
and the year following went to the
Philippines, where he was located for
two years. The Philippines, he says.
are even richer in products of hemp,
tobacco, rice, sugar and hard woods
than reported. Their possibilities are
great If properly developed. In some
of the ordinary huts and novels ar
ebony, mahogany and other variet
of hard wood that IL they were in
this country would be worth fortune,
The Filipinos are varied people.
There are some who are educated and
refined, and there are all grades down
to the naked savages.
From that point the ensign went to
China, then to Japan and finally te
the Behring sea, where he spent two
months. He was In Colombia during
opening of hostilities there and al
sisted in protecting and keeping op
the Panama railroad.
Ensign Mitchell has three weeks
more of his leave, and will spend Q
portion of 1t in this city. Like all
sailors he is looking forward to his
two years of shore duty.

was the central figure on the political
stage in the whole middle west. For
three years he has been heard from
but little. But in its wholesome can
dor of expression and the true sim
cerity and unselfish devotion to the
cause he had espoused, the story Of
his unfiinching loyalty will be held up
to future generations as an example
equaled by few statesmen of the pres
ent generation.

Under the present circumstances the
outlook is permanency in the cabinet

From his manner 1t is quite appar-

sense of relief. During his term Of
office the country has passed through
the only war it has waged for more
than third of a century, and since
then has been rent by the most serious
controversy in the naval service that
has arisen in its history. Both Incl

BARE SHOULDERS. S.

Some social .wiseacres of London are
prophesying that bare shoulders at day
light functions will not be the mode
during the reign of Alexandra.
Even in the earlier years of her reign
Queen Victoria was short and fat. In
those days she cared more about her
personal appearance than she did later.
and she knew that a decollette bodice
was infinitely more becoming to her
than a high collar.
80 cecolletage was the rule at court
functions during Victoria's reign, and
through drawing rooms and took home
cold as a souvenir of the function.
Queen Alexandra, tall, slender and
blessed with a throat long enough for a
choker collar, is not aVerse to decollet-
age, but she favors the high bodice. At
the opening of parliament she Wore
high bodice, blazing with jewels, under
her mantle of velvet and ermine and
the rumor has been running around that
permission to wear the high court bodice
will be given.
Many an elderly woman, ciinging to
social responsibility in spite of rheuma-
tism, would welcome the change, but it
Is doubtful whether even the thinnest
selves of the permission. English women
have, perhaps from the habit gained
through court requirements become so
welded to the low bodice that English
decolletage is a proverb, and that in
spite of the fact that few English women
have beautiful necks and shoulders.

To look into Jan f>ubelik's eyes is to

useful, in his way, though, for he some
times brought in bits of news from the
Italian quarter that could be work ed
up into Sunday stories, and when the
triple murder took place on Robert street
two years ago 1t was PietrO who put
Johnson, the police man, on to the hid
ing place of the murderer. 1t was a
big beat for the Planet and johnson got
his salary raised and compliment from
the 'old man. at the same time. Ot
course, Johson made it all right with
Pietro and kept mum as to the source OF
his information
But PietrO was beginning to be bother
in the city room, coming in at all hours
of the day and night with some piece
Of information about the advent of new
baby, or the finding Of a whole dress in
the rag barrel; things in which the Plan
ct readers were not at all interested. In
the summer Pietro ground hurdy -gurdy
and in winter kept a chestnut stand
just around the corner from Ehe news
paper offices, and no reporter known to
the Italian failed to stop and help him
self when he passed the stand. Pietro's
hurdy- -gurdy was an inharmoniOus ma
chine that had long since passed its
prime but he ground it every day in
pleasant weather and the children in the
courts danced to it's tiny notes.
Some days Pietre was accompanied ty
his daughter. She played the tambour1ne
and collected the pennies with business
like air. She wasn't pretty except in
her eyes and hair. They were Jet black
and sparkIed when she moved or spoke.
She seemed about fifteen years old, but,
like all Italian children. dressed as
though she were forty. She was childish
in her manners, however, and not al
together unattractive.
When she began coming into the
Planet office with her father even the
city editor forgot to be gruff, for there
was something instinctively gentle in
the girls manner of speaking. Her
mother was dead, Pietro had told us,
and the girl was his only companion.
He seemed to think a great deal OF
her and always smiled when one OF
the men complimented her. The re-
porters began to watch for her coming
and whenever q tambourine accompani-
ment was heard to Pietro's hurdy- -gurdy,
at least one Of us would take the trouble
to go down stairs and give the couple
coin. No one ever knew what the girl
did in winter while her father attended
his chestnut stand, and in fact no one
ever had occasion to ask.
