The Night Was Fairly Clear.
The cause of the collision is not
known. There was no fog whatever,
and the night was fairly clear. The
lights of the City of Venice were
burning brightly. To this both the
passengers and crews testify, saying
they could see the lights of the Ven

would make.
A Terrible Crash.
1t was shortly after midnight when
the accident happened. The City of
Venice, laden with 3,Go0 tons of ore,
was bound to Buffalo, while the Se-
guin was going north to Parry Sound,
from Ogdensburg On board the Sc
guin all were asleep save the second
mate, w. \. Lavigne, and the watch
man who was with him in the pilot
house.
The first mate of the Venice, Sui
IVAN. was on watch aboard the boat
that went down. How the collision
happened can not be ascertained, as
Sullivan is lying in the hospital and
Layigne will not talk. The first that
was known that anything had hap.
pened was a terrible crash which
brought both boats almost to stand
still. The Seguin had struck the Ven
ice fairly amidships, and plowed it's
way half through the boat.
Went Down In Deep Water.
The City Of Venice went down in
very deep water in less than Is min
utes after the collision occurred. At.
ter standing L for an hour, the Se-
guin headed for Cleveland with the
survivors.

A Mormon Family Reunion.

A Salt Lake City correspondent
sends us clipping from Mormon
newspaper describing the family re-
union of Grandfather Merrill. This
prolific gentleman, an apostle Of the
Mormon church, is the father of forty
living children, and his living grand
children number 1875. Nearly all of
these honored the occasion with their
presence. The newspaper correspond
ent delicately suggests the harmonious
relations which subsist among the var
ious wives of the patriarch. From
the many expressions of love and es-
TEEN it was evident the kindliest Nnd
best of feeling exist in the hearts of
all members of the family. Many tears
of Joy were shed when the different
mothers narrated the experiences of
the early days." Incidentally one is
reminded by this story of the strange
fact, substantiated by all observers,
that the Mormon women, who have
suffered the most from polygamy, and
gained the least advantage, are the
most fanatical and incurable adher-
ents of this abominable doctrine

Some New Hair Ornaments.

Tortoise shell combs are worn as
much as ever and the usual set in
cludes three or four, the extra one
being a pompadour comb, which is
placed in the hair entirely for service,
as 1t does not show when the couture
is completed. The newest combs are
certainly designed with some idea of
comfort, for the rims are rounded
down in the center to fit about the
fiat knob on the top Of the head. Even
the larger comb, intended to keep w
stray "scolding locks" is curved After
the same fashion.
This, by the way is narrower than
formerly, and does not give the head
so broad look as the heavily trimmed
ones that have been the correct thing.
For evening wear there are jeweled

boarders could hardly await the com.

to be most sumptuous elimination.
BY noon the house began to take on
its decorations. The boarders who
came for their midday meal were loud
in their praises Of the excellent taste
manifested. And when evening at
last came and they began to assemble
In the parlor, there was a veritable
buzz Of talk about things In general.
Finally the guests had been ushered
in, all but one, and that one would not
witness the ceremoney. In an upper
room she sat alone at an open win
dow, with a handkerchief to her eyes,
weeping. She could hear the minis.
ters voice as he made them man and
wife. Later, when she heard the hi.
larity below, she knew that 1t was
all over. But she still sat at the win.
dow. She saw the carriage drive up
and halt at the stepping-stone. She
heard loud talking out on the side
walk. She saw figures scurrying back
and forth. Then she heard chorus
Of shouts. A moment later the sound

bang to Of the carriage door. After

the sound o. wheels on the cobble-
stones. Then more shouting.
Within the vehicle sat two very hap.
by beings. The ride to the station
was short, and when they entered
their train Mr.. Barnston was surprised
to see, seated at the other end Of the
car, a former chLm of his.
Barnston ind his bride had hardly
got comfortably seated when his
friend left his seat to 60 to the smok-
er. AS he came abreast of the newly
welded couple he recognized Barnston
and halted:
"Jove, but am glad to see you"
Barnston laid, raising and taking his
friend by the hand, "Mr. Horton, allow
me to introduce you to my wife, for
merly Mrs. Winifred Hyssop, of the AL.
gonquin."

Pineapple Juice.

In peeling q fresh pineapple the
eyes and pulp should never be thrown
away until they, too, have contrib
uted to the larder. Put these frag-
ments from large pineapple with six
unpeeled greening or other tart, Juicy
apples into a saucepan, turn on water
enough to nearly cover them, cook
until they are soft and drain through
jelly bag. Boil the liquor thus OBJ
tained for twenty minutes. Then
measure 1t, add an equal proportion
of sugar and cook again for ave min.
utes. Fill into tumblers.
II time Is scarce an easier process
is to cook the eyes and core in water
suf1cient to cover them until they are
soft, and then press them through q
sieve and boil the juice with sugar
for few minutes. The favored
syrup will be useful in an apple or
peach pie, in pudding sauce. in lem
onade or fruit punch, to serve with a
fruit macedonia or with cut up ba-
nanas and oranges, and for no end Of
purposes.

Satins and Brocades.

Next to the sumptuous yellow sat
ms, moires and brocades that rank
prominently among the evening tex
tiles to be worn for two seasons to
come, the beautiful rose tints stand
supreme. In dancing toilets of silk
or satin draped with lace and trimmed
with satin ribbons, a soft pink gown
imparts an exquisite glow to the COM
plexion. Many of the French toilets
in cameo, orchid or sea-shell pink,
and pink alone, are Of chiffon or NOUS

cygne of a deeper shade. Other
toilets are mixed or delicately toned
with reseda or sea green, pale mauve
or honey-suckle yellow and also GER

zhe --latest Ideas
From Paris

Flower boleros represent the latest
idea in floral garniture so much in
favor this and last season.
Some of the newest combs for the
hair are surmounted by artistic decora-
lions of fruit or flowers or foliage.
A wrist bag of suede frequently has
the ordinary chain handle replaced by
a narrow ribbon Of the same shade as
the suede. The ribbon is doubled and
tied at one side in bow.
Ecru Valenciennes lace is used again
this year on gowns of white organdie,
though preference is given to the pure
white laces as trimming for the new
gowns of this dainty material.
The rage for green this season is
carried out in laces, dyed in several
shades of this vivid color. A hat trim
med with green and white shows .
crown and brim of pleated white tulle,
draped with deep green lace. A bow
of dark green and red velvet is placed
at the back.

A Merlnaue THAT Never Fails.

Never use wheel beater for a
meringue. Only with an egg whip can
one obtain good results. Use a deep
plate. Take the whites of two fresh
eggs, add a speck OF salt, and whip
until the whites are frothy; then add
as much cream of tartar as would
make lump the size of common
bean; continue whipping until you
have a dry froth; fold in lightly two
level tablespoons graduated sugar;
If flavor is desired, add it before
whipping; spread on pie, and set In
the front of the oven with the door
open; turn it once, and let it stay for
at least two minutes, then push into
the oven, shut the door and brown
slightly. This meringue is always
perfect, and will be good when several
days old. 1t is dry on the outside
and tender within.

General Federation Roll.

0VuSs ~ SoSso ssV' shS'''
According to list which appears In
the Club Woman, the organ Of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
III organizations have been admitted
to the General Federation since April.
Kansas contributes IS to this list, the
largest number from one state, and
California is second, 20 being the num-
Der admitted from that state. The
American Women's Literary Society
of Shanghai, China, and the Woman's
Club of Sitka, Alaska, have become
affiliated with the General Society
since the May biennial held in Los
Angeles. The Shanghai organization
is the first club from the Flowery
Kingdom to be admitted. Two fedora
tions have also come into the fold,
namely, the National Federation Of
Catholic Women's Clubs (headquar-
ters in Chfcago), and the Seattle Fed
Grafton of Seattle, Wash. New York
city is represented on the list by two
organizations, the Emma Willard AS.
ISOLATION and the College Women's
Club, both of which have number OF
Brooklyn members. Application for
admission has been made by the Wom-
ems Club of Saltillo, Mexico. Mrs.
DIMES T.. s. Denison of Manhattan is
president of the General Federation.
The new clubs referred to have been
admitted since the present administra-
ton came into power and the increase
in membership is regarded as an aus
picious beginning by the friends of
Mrs. Denison and her associates on
the executive board.

Lace 1unIcs on Gowns.

Lace tunics are appearing largely
on evening gowns; they are capital
way of renovating skirt, the thicker
the lace the more la mode. A re-
gretable feature in the modes of the
moment is the wearing Of gowns that
are suited for evening in the morning,
and now satin shoes, with lace
timmed stockings, are to be seen at
many of our fashionable resorts. All
stiffening is vanished from skirt lin
ings, except just at the hem, to the
depth of three inches. Sleeves ex-
pand at the elbow, skirts at the hem.

tells this story illustrative of his
wife's cleverness. One day they Wis

A dead silence followed the ques-
ton. Finally one little girl raised her
hand and made the most unexpected

her fancywork.
"Well. what are you going to do
about it?" Mrs. Hyssop asked.
I'm going to do my best to win Mr..
Barnston."
81 hope you are not angry with me?"
Mrs. Hyssop asked.
"Oh, no. not in the least" was the
reply. II thank you very much for
your advice"
Two days later Mrs. Hyssop was
again sitting upon the front veranda.
A frail creature in white, with last
years sailor on and music-roll in her
lap, sat beside her. Both were gazing
absently across the street.
81 don't see how shall get through

summer. must make living some

"You poor DEAR" solaced the feeling
widow. mo one knows that better
than 1 do. When my dear husband
died he left me almost destitute. But
thought at once of starting board
ing house, and the first thing l knew
Mr.. Barnston-"
The frail creature suddenly. raised
her eyes. She was the other girl with
whom Mr.. Barnston was taking up"
as his landlady put it.
"Mr. Barnston came, and before long
l got more boarders than could &C.
commodate," ended Mrs. Hyssop.
Again she had set the ball rolling
Barnstonward, and again her hopes
rose, for the frail creature with the
music roll at once plunged headlong
into the subject of Mrs. Hyssops frat
boarder.
"Of course" she said, you must
have noticed that Mr.. Barnston has
been paying attention to me of late.
He seems to be very nice. He is al.
ways SO gentlemanly."
HE is indeed" put in the landlady.
There have been times" went on
the girl, "when felt as If just must
come to you for advice about Mr..
Barnston. If any one could give 1t,
knew you could. Do you think he
would make good husband?"
Having had experience, this time
Mrs. Hyssop's calm was something to
wonder at.
"My dear Louise" she began, "I feel
deeply the honor you put upon me.
Yes, l have studied Mr.. Barnston very
closely for the past two years. And
of late have noticed that he thinks
very we'll of you. But Mr.. Barnston
is-is-well, Louise, dear, wouldn't
marry him if were you"
For a moment there was silence on
the front veranda. Then Louise burst
out:
IT believe you are in league with
that cat Fanny. l know you are, just
because she gave you that doiley for
your parlor table. suppose If had
things to give to you, you'd say it
was all right for me to marry Mr..
Barnston. l won't ask you to tell me
what you have against him, because
you'd make up things. But you just
bet Fanny'll have hard race to win.
From now on I am going to do my
utmost to cut her out"

A cyclone seemed to strike Fanny
and her fancywork. for both went to
pieces-Fanny on her chair, and the
fancywork on the floor at her feet.
"Oh, Mrs. Hyssop!" she gasped.
