Newest Sensation at Saratoga Was
Furnished by Wife of n New
York Contractor.

AS at Newport, the pretty women
at Saratoga are racking their minds
in search of fads that may divert
their friends and help to pass the
time.
Nobody in Saratoga is likely to
give monkey dinner and the fish
suppecs at the lake are not suscep-
tible of elaborate variation, but
novelties in driving rigs have APP
peared on Broadway that overshad-
ow anything ever seen on Bellevue
avenue, Newport.
The three horses abreast, Griyen by
Mrs. Barnes-Allin, have created
sensation such as Saratoga has not
known for many years. William {.
Whitney's double team of chestnuts
is superior to anything seen on the
Lake road since the days of the elder
Nanderbilts.
In She search for a special sensa-
ton pretty woman has hit upon an
idea that for the moment outshines
mere hcrsefesh. Mrs. c. \. Barthol-
omea, wife of large railway con-
tractor in New York, and a near rel
dllNt III AQlillIdl Dewey. Has taken
advantage of the presence in Sarato-
ga in summer OF an ostrich farmer
from Jacksonville, Fla, to secure one
of the trained birds for driving to a
light blue pneumatic tire wagon.
The ostrich, most thoroughly brok-
en- to harness. is named Oliver w,
and is splendid male bird. standing
over nine feet in height. Four years
of infinite patience on the part of
trainer, Mr.. Campbell, were required
to render the bird tractable.
THE skull of the animal is so small
in proportion to his body that he has
almost no brains" explained Trainer
Campbell. The rig was already har-
messed. The ostrich stood, quite do
eile, with hood over his head. That
is the device for hitching the great
birds. AS long as they cannot see
they confidently believe themselves
invisible. a brass band or score
of painting automobiles will not
cause them to move Il muscle.

OF modern times, her popularity be-
ing said to exceed that of even that
much sung queen, Carmen Sylvia.
Marie Amelia is possessed of
character as remarkable for it's low
able positive qualities as that of her
royal spouse is for its disagreeable neg
atlve traits. She is a woman of strong
character and high intellectual pow
er, generous, quick witted, far-see-
ing. She is a close student of hu-
man nature, or, rather, has an intu-
tive perception of it; she is a Sci
enlist of high standing. is grad
uate in medicine and an expert
upon matters of hospital nursing and
sanitary cooking. The fact is, Queen
Marie Amelia is most extraor-
dlnary woman. Her distinction of
being the only royal NJ. d. in the
world is but one of her many unusual
attractions. Although a devotee of
quiet domesticity and a model wife
and mother, she is thoroughly mod
ern in her beliefs, and has the cour-
age necessary to reduce these beliefs
to actions. She is an exponent of
common sense in the matter of dress.
and has succeeded in elevating pub
lie opinion in Portugal to that height
where tight lacing is considered low
taste. questionable and immoral.
With all this she is artistic. and has
the reputation of being one of the
most tastefully gowned princesses in
Europe.
Queen Marie Amelia is generous to
fault, She. not only refuses to ac-
cept from the government one cent
of the princely allowance made her
each year, but she spends more than
three-fourths of her magnificent for
tune inherited from her father and
his family, in charities and humani-
ties for the poor of her realm. which
charities are as original and inter
esting as is their royal author. They
include among other things expert
mental stations for the production
of the serum of diphtheria, from
which dread disease Portugal suf-
fers more than any other country
Of Europe; model sanitary bakery
for the poor; hospital and free dis
penSary for stricken women. The
queen who is an authority ON these
subjects, is personal and intimate
friend of Florence Nightingale, to
whom she has paid several visits, and
with whose ideas she is in full ac-
cord. In fact, it may be partly due
to this influence that the queen has
made efforts so persistent and so
we'll directed that the hospitals and
charitable institutions of otherwise
decadent Portugal are in so flourish
ing a condition.
Adored by her own people, be-
loved of English society, worshiped
in Paris, Queen Marie Amelia is one
of the handsomest, wisest, most low
able and noblest queens of Christen-
dom. If a sovereign's possession of
these virtues may constitute the
safety Of people. Portugal need
have no fear for the present.

Is Williston to have Fourth of July
celebration this year? It would seem
that it was about time to let some of the
younger generation know what is usual
ly done on this great nations birthday.
For the past two years we have not even
had the customary fire cracker or lem
onade, to say nothing about a band or
fireworks. We would suggest that it is
about time for frst-class, genuine old.
time Fourth of July celebration. As q
suggestion we would ask "Why can't the
band get up the celebration" They
would be sure to make a success of it,
and with the money they could collect
from patriotic business men and citizens,
and what they could make from stand
privileges and from dance to be given
on that night, they could clear a neat
sum, besides giving us grand and glori.
GUS celebration.
