THE Chinese Exclusion bill, which

THE Chinese Exclusion bill, which
has passed the Senate, is practically
nothing more than the present law
made to cover the island possessions of
the United States as well as the United
States proper. The present law ex-
pired next month, but by the action of
the Senate is extended until Deem
Der, 1904, or during the life of the
resent treaty with China. The last
ensus shows that the law has operat-
tdas it's trainers intended. The Chin
sc have been kept out by it. There
may have been evasions, but the cen
sus shows that there were fewer China
men in the country in 1900 than in
1890, so the law must have been fairly
effective.

How to Make Some of Them at
Home.
Most of the trimmings of the present
day are expensive to buy, but consid-
erably cheaper to make with the aid of
a sewing machine, and they are nearly
all of the band character. The painted
silks and chiffons and the many elab-
crate designs could not, of course, be
reproduced easily, but it is otherwise
with fat trimmings. They add much
to the appearance of a dress. Cross
cut strips of velvet, cloth or satin have
tiny garland embroidered in the cen
ter, with silks or cordonnet, or a very
good effect is produced with round
spots the size of peas, each one encir-
cled with a thread of chenille.
Tartan taffeta is cut in crossway
strips, carefully joined and the seams
pressed fiat, after which the edges
must be turned down and pressed.

ONE of the things that Kenosha
needs as much as anything is play
ground for the exclusive use of the
small boy. AS things are now there is
no place within a reasonable distance
of the city where the boys can enjoy
outdoor sports without trespassing
upon somebody's private property. A
level field large enough to lay out a
base ball diamond is all that would be
required. No Improvements are neces-
sary or desired. The boys would adj
just things to suit themselves in short
order. In the rapid Improvement of
the natural beauties of the city parks,
which has taken place within the last
few years, the needs of the small boy
have been forgotten and no place has
been provided for his use during his
play hours. If some generous minded
phi1anthropist wishes to gain the un-
dying gratitude of succeeding genera.
tions of small boys he can do it at COM
paratively trihing expense by provid-
ing a plat of ground to be held in trust
by the city for their exclusive use.

THE NEW DRESSES.

Gowns For the Coming Season Have
a Distinctly Different Effect.
Although the alteration in shape is
not very marked, yet gowns for the
coming season have a distinctly diff
ferent effect by reason of the changes
in make and trimming. Some models
show an immensely Of tucks, cordings
and stitchings, and others are incrust-
ed with stenciled applique laid over
color. Incrustations of lace are as pop
ular as ever, but separate sprays, mo-
tifs or placements are more fashiona-
bic than the continuous trimmings
heretofore worn.
Graduated spots Of velvet or of con-
trasting materials are laid on portions

MADE OF PINK BUDS.

Of gown or a combination Of plain
and fancy material is worn, but the
background matches in color. A charm
ing effect is gained by the mixture of
velvet spotted poplinette and plain of
the same tint.
Russian blouses with short coattails
are made of soft gray silk tucked in
clusters. Worn with pale gray cloth
skirt and full front of soft lace they
are very effective.
One Of the newest millinery models
is shown in the illustration. The hat
is made of tiny pink buds and their
foliage. 1t is trimmed with loops of
pale blue louisine ribbon.

Altar in a Tree.

Curious was the find made in Shar-
on, Ct, by couple of youths while
hunting. They discovered an old
tree, into the hollow of which an alter
had been built by cementing in fiat
stones at from 10 to IL feet from
the ground and piling others at the
base up to height of some three feet.
A tablet was fastened in the back of
the hollow, about six feet from the
foot, which bore in Greek the inscrip.
ton which st. Paul saw on the altar
in Athens: "To the unknown God. y
This use of biblical quotation was
evidently made in spirit of mockery.
The altar is supposed to have Der
erected by an irreligious sect or so
ciety which flourished in Sharon in
the early years of the century, and
to have been the seat of their atheistic
orgies and revels. The altar has
since been defaced by some curiosity
hunters carrying of the tablet but
luckily a photograph of it had been
taken before this vandalism was COM
mitted.

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY
Few men would think it possible to shake
a fortune out of a corn pepper; yet that Is
what Mr.. Dudley S. Humphrey of Cleve-
land, with the assistance of his wife. his
sister and his two brothers, has done.
IS more remarkable. the feat has been &C
compiished within ten years. Less than a
decade ago the Humphreys were worse than
poor, for they were loaded with debts. To-
day, If not worth $1,000, 900. they are in a
fair way to possess that sum soon.
Twenty years ago the father of the
Humphreys died on his t-housand-acre farm.
near Wakeman, Huron County, Ohio. He
had been one Of the wealthiest men in that
part of the State, but at the time of his
death his farm was ineumbered with debts
amounting to $4,000. The boys, Dudley s.,
David and Harlow, and their sister, Miss
NJ. N. Humphrey, undertook to manage
the farm and free 1t from debt.
For fourteen years q struggled. and in
that time they had earned and paid out
sse,0Oe on the principal and interest of the
debt and in improvements. Then they had
to quit. The Sheriff disposed of the farm.
The brothers and their sister were left with
nothing but a debt of SIS, goo, which re-
manned unpaid. They borrowed 500 and
went to Cleveland. There they were at
their wits end how to make a living.
Previous to that time Dudley Humphrey
had been a correspondent of an agricultural
newspaper. and In the summer OF 1890 he
wal sent Is one Of a delegation to represent

thte various industries of the United States
at the Paris Exposition. Therefore, he was
a man of observation and intelligence, but
His Way to Wealth.
In the summer of 1892 he was glad to take
a place working about the stables of the
Cleveland Driving Park. Later he became
interested IN the success OF the few vendors
of popcorn who sold the toothsome edible
from pushcarts in the downtown streets.
He saw that most of this corn was popped
in the old-fashioned peppers that are
swung back and forth over a fire.
Humphrey thought it could be done better
than that. Therefore, he invented a pop
per of his own. 1t was a sheet-iron device,
in which the corn was cooked and sea-
soned, rather than popped in the old way.
A revolving piece OF iron inside the covered
iron vessel kept the corn moving, and thus
allowed IL to open in imitation of snow
flakes. Humphrey saw that the other corn
vendors were at least making a living. He
thought he would try II himself. He pur-
chased a pushcart and began business.
Meeting a man who had known him for
some time, he said: 81 suppose you viii
think am getting down pretty low"
'fWhy?' asked the friend.
We'll, was the reply, Il have got to
make a living, and / am going to try to do
it selling popcorn. / am going to sell it
from a pushcart, too"
well" said the friend, there Is nothing
dishonorable about that, Dudley, and I
hone you will succeed"
That pushcart, which was purchased in
June. 1893. was the foundation OF the
Humphrey Popcorn Company OF to-day.
The popped corn had a delicious. s,dor, and

LETTER FOUND AFTER 10 YEARS
Careless Clerk Placed 1t in Cincin-
natl Hotel Vault.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL


Cincinnati. o.. Aug. "a letter mailed at
the Post Office here ten years ago has been
returned to Postmaster Monfort. with the
request that If possible. 1t be delivered to
the sender.
The letter was addressed to a travelling
salesman. In care of the Sherman House.
Chicago, Ill, and was mailed in this city on
November q. 1892. In returning the letter
TO the Chicago Post Office the proprietor OF
the hotel stated that it had been placed in
a vault in the safe by one of the clerks, and
had remained there until a few days ago,
when a general cleaning and stoek-taking
were in progress. The clerk who placed the
letter In the vault had forgotten all about
IL.
The receipt of this letter served to call
to mind to attaches of the local post office
a similar incident that occurred here sew
eral years ago. Several letters were deliv-
cred at the Office of the City Hospital for
employees Of that institution. and the clerk
inadvertently put them into a book, which
he closed and replaced on a shelf. He for
got all about the letters, and. as there was
no occasion to use the book again, the incl
dent was forgotten. Fifteen years later in
a general housecleaning the book fell and
the letters slipped out from between the
leaves. Tn persons to whom they were adj
dressed had left the hospital IN the mean
time, and the letters were returned to the
Post ONCE.
