ELEVATOR GIRLS IN BOSTON.
Their Pretty Caps. Aprons and Buck
les Please the shopping Public
of the Hub.

Boston's latest and smartest girl
is the elevator girl. She suddenly has
made her appearance in the fashion
able downtown stores, luncheon
rooms for women, dressmaking es-
adjustments, the Young Women's
Christian association and the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union.
1t all came about because the ele-
vator man at the latter place left.
Looking around for some one to take
his place, one of the managers sug-
gested employing a girl, and it was
done at once. The new girl was
young and pretty and wore neat
cap, apron and shoes with shining
buckles. The patrons of the Union
lunchroom were pleased.
A week later n girl appeared in the
mirTor-lined elevator of the Young
Women's Christian association. The
idea became a fad and more girls
were given places. Their employ
ment is fast becoming popular in
other establishments.

NEW NAVY coALING RECORD.
Playing of Band on Cruiser New
York Helps Sailors TO Pat In $50
Tons In Six Hours.

The cruiser New York broke the
navy record for coaling at Honolulu
the other day. putting in $50 tons of
coal in six hours. This remarkable
speed was due to the fact that the
full band of the ship played during
the whole time that the jackies we're
rushing the coal aboard.
The employment of the band was
suggested to Capt. Mackenzie by the
bandmaster's application for 4s
hours leave of absence from the shin
to get away from the dust and dirt
of eoaling. Instead. the captain or
dered the band to play for eight
hours. 1t was stationed on the bridge
during the coaling and reeled off mar
tial airs.
Two rival gangs of jackies we're
coaling. one getting coal from a
lighter alongside and the other from
the wharf. The jacl1ies trundled
wheelbarrows of coal at a lively
trot.

RELIGION BASIS FOR DIVORCE.
An Important DeciaIOn on the Matter
Made by the Courts in
Austria.

An important decision was rendered
the other day by the provincial civil
court at Vienna which shows the ur-
gent necessity to American and En-
glish women who may be contemplate
ing marriage with an Austrian sub
ject of first obtaining competent legal
advice in the matter. In the present
instance an Austrian named Clemens
Koischer was married in London in
1898 10 an English woman, a singer,
by a civil ceremony. Kolischer de-
scribed himself as having no religious
faith, and the bride gave herself as
belonging TO the Protestant church.
Kolischer recently applied to the Vi
emma courts for legal separation, and
the tribunal in its decision held that
the marriage was invalid on account of
the differences of religion between the
contracting parties, in spite of the
contention submitted by the woman's
counsel that such marriages are per-
fectly legal in England. France and
Germany.

VIOLINS IN CONTEST.

DIR. Henry Watson, a well-known
authority on music and himself q

the violin, incidentally had a short
piece played on two violins, one a
Stradivarius, worth $1,000. and the
other one of n lot worth half a

SAILS A RAGING SEA,
Novel Life-Saving Globe Is Subject

SuccessfulIy Rides the Waves on

Too High for Ordinary
Lifebont.

Another test has been given the
hfe-saving globe invented for use in
Shipwrecks by Capt. Donvig, a Nor
wegian, says New York Herald dis
patch from London. The object of
. this test was to ascertain how the
craft would behave in heavy seas.
While the waves were running ex-
tremely high and a sea was running
In which it was declared no lifeboat
could live, the globe was towed by a
tug from Dover harbor into the chan
mel.
In order that the apparatus should
De as near as possible in the same
condition as it would be if used in
case OF shipwreck, it was weighted
with sandbags, which, with four
men who were in the globe, made the
weight equivalent to that of 20 men
and 30 days provisions.
The globe, without its crew, was
hrst towed out to sea, between Dover
and the South Foreland.
The strong wind raised terrific seas.
several times the tug was caught in
the trough and her decks were COM
pietely swept, SO that it was neces-
sary to batten down all the hatch
ways. But the globe rode over the
waves like a cork. Finally it was
towed into quiet water where Capt.
Donvig, accompanied by three Dover
seamen, went aboard. They fastened
the manhole and the globe was again
towed TO sea.
When the full force of the wind and
seas was experienced Capt Donvig
signaled through the manhole to cast
off the tow rope.
The globe, left to itself, bobbed
about in the heavy seas. but showed
no inclination to roll over.
After tossing about for ten or fif-
teen minutes Capt. Donvig and one of
the sailors emerged from the man.
hole and, flashing themselves to the
outside of the globe, set a small sail,
which they pulled through the man
hole with them. The air funnel was
used as a mast and the queer craft
was navigated back to harbor, dis
lance of several miles.

cal preparatory school met at the AS
tor house, and it was decided to be-

the nautical school, which is to be
"a school on a ship, but not a school

Commander c. H. Harlow, u. S. N,
now executive officer of the Raleigh,

DEWEY'S INFLUENCE
Over New York Police Is Retarding the
Work of Reform.

New York, April 10.-POlice Commits
sioner Partridge made a statement, to-
day, in which he said he had been at
work since he assumed office formu-
!ating measures for the reform of the
magnitude of the task he had been
forced to proceed slowly. The COM
missioner declared that there was no
doubt in his mind that Former Chief
of Police Devery still had powerful
influence over the force and that many
men in the department clung to Dew
cry with apparently an all-abiding
faith" Mr.. Partridge said he dared not
trust the captains; some officers in
whom he had reposed confidence had
betrayed him.
Later in the day. Commissioner Part
ridge was summoned to the City hall
by Mayor Low. After a talk with the
mayor, Col. Partridge gave out an
official interview which modified
what purported to be his former state
ment. He said in part:
What | said was that the Devery
influence was still too prominent in the
department. So it is. What mean is
that these conditions which carry bad
influence which were brought in here,
don't say by whom, are still there
7 do not say that Devery is giving or
ders and debating appointments and
transfers. but / do say that the subtle
influence which prevailed under Dew
cry is still there"
