NO lady cares to be commonplace
either in dress or jewels. There is
distinctive mark Of culture in the
refined woman that pervadee not
only her manner and personality
but also her garb, and this inde-
scribable atmosphere can be cul-
tivated only by employing the SER
Vices of the dealer In refined goods.
Nothing appears more tawdry
than an ornament that is one of a
thousand perhaps, stamped out by
machine methods like so many

Houses to which no one went have be-
come crowdednight after night by keen
and eager admirers of the play of some
man who never succeeded at anything
before or of the grace and skillof some
modest wife or blushing maiden who
can play the gameas Paderewsh plays
the piano, and who has seemed to be
almost magician aslong as she held
, and manoeuvred a Ping-pong racquet.
! know why the Americans in London
like the game. 1t is because some are
busy in the daytime and are glad to
find q way to exercise and have sport
after hours in the evening, and because
the others long to enjoy, indoors and at
night, the exercise which is practically
barred by the weather out of doors in
| the daytime. But why, think you, do
the ladies love the game SO heartily?
1t is a thing that they can do as we'll
as the men. to be sure, and that might
be sufficient reason. But not every
thing that they can do. or can do WELL
is pretty in the doing. AT Ping-pong
they look beautiful. The eager pose,
the quick ad graceful movements of
the body, the graceful motions of the
playing arm. the kindling eyes, the
consciousness of skill, the applause of
the spectators and their admiration
these are all attendants upon the secret
answer to the question, why do women
love the game
Then, again, it makes them ali beau
tiful to be healthy through exercise.
IF wished to keep beautiful until
dropped in my grave, I would dance
every night of by life" said world
famous beauty to me III London not
long azo.
And Ping-pongis almost as good as
dancing, which latter Is no good at all
unless the dancer can sleep her full
eight or ten hours after eacn dance.
Why has it not caught the favor of
our people over here, wonder. There
Is too little fun in this world for us to
miss any of it, and yet we are missing
Ping pong. which is simply fun done

THE YLRY BiG & EST.

These are big times and it is entirely
appropriate that the st. Louis Exposi-
ton managers are planning to have
the biggest show. Their plans are GER
tainly big. The Centennial exposition
at Philadelphia covered 236 acres; the
Paris exposition of 1S99-1900, 1888 acres;
the Columbian exposition at Chicago,
633 acres; the Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo, $50 acres. The worlds fair
at St. Louis, it is promised, will cover
1900 acres at an estimated cost for
construction of $50 1000, 900. The con-
struction cost of the Paris exposition
was 100000; of the Chicago exposi-
ton, $4,000, 900; of the Buffalo exposi-
ton, $10,000000 IT is further stated
that the city of st. Louis, before the
fair gates open on May /, 1908, will
have expended 500, 100000 on this enter
prise. Five million dollars was appro-
priated for the fair outright through
the municipal assembly. Five million
dollars more was raised by private sub
scription, and charter amendments
adopted last autumn authorized the
city to disburse S10000,000 for street
paving and other public improvements
in connection with the fair.
Perhaps, not to say probably, ST.
Louis will find that her exposition will
not directly pay, but the enterprise she
is showing merits appreciation. There
have been too many expostions lately,
but the very biggest ought to draw.

CRISIS ~ VENEZUELA.
CASTRO SORELY BESET IN CARACAS
AMICABLE SETTLEMENT WITH
COLOMBIA REPORTED.

Washington, June PA report of an impor-
tant development in Venezuela, which, if con-
frmed. undoubtedly will make great change
in the status of affairs there, has been received
here from unofficial source in the republic.
1t is said that Venezuela has adjusted her rela-
tons with Colombia, so as to allow Of the with
drawal Of the government force of about eight
thousand men from the Colombian border, and
that this army he rushed to the relief
Of President Castro at Caracas who is repre-
sented in the advices reaching Washington as
being sorely beset by the revolutionists under
General Matos. Late mail advices received here
say that General Matos has divided his forces,
and is approaching Caracas from the rear
and from both east and west.
The State Department to-day received a cable
dispatch from United States Minister Bowen at
Caracas. The officials declined to make the text
of the dispatch public. but it is understood that
it makes critical state of affairs arising
from the present revolutionary movement
against President Castro. which is generally
recognized as the strongest that has yet threat
ened him.
The Navy Department stands ready to meet
almost any exigency which may arise in Ven
ezuela. The Cincinnati and the Topeka are at
La Guayra, and the gunboat Marietta is on the
way to San Juan Porto Rico. The departments
intention is to have the Marietta proceed thence
to Colon and relieve the Machias but she will
remain at San Juan until it appears assured
that her services will not be needed to rein
force the Cincinnati and the Topeka in protect
ing American lives and property in Venezuela
No report, it is said, has yet come from the
comman nders of the two sYarships at La Guayra

their course of action in Venezuelan waters and

means the absence of any important change in
the situation, so far they view II.

received in his official mail yesterday letter
from the Secretary of State Of Venezuela deny

CANAL CONFERREES MEET.
SENTIMENT IN THE HOUSE TURNING
TOWARD PANAMA ROUTE.

washington, June o4.-The conferrees on the
lsthmian Canal hill net at Il O'Clock to-day
In view Of the prospects of an early adjourn
ment apprehension was expressed by House
members that prolonged contest in conference
might lead 10 the postponement of all canal
legislation. But when this prospect was sug-
gested to some Of the House conferrees who are
thoroughly aware of the situation they said
that there was practically no doubt that canal
legislation OF sort would be enacted ow-
ing tc the favorable temper Of the House toward
the Senate amendment. The conference to-day
lasted hour and half and adjourned until
Tomorrow. Il was largely devoted to discus
sion Of the legal aspect of the Panama route
but no settlement on that point reached.
When the conferrees go into the merits of the
case it is expected that the House members will
point out number Of incongruities which are
said 10 exist in the Senate amendment For
from the Caribbean Sea TO the Pacific Ocean,
whereas the westerly outlet is said to be on the
Gulf OF Panama al in0entetiOn over one hun
dred miles back from the Pacific Ocean line

provision OF the amendment reference is made
10 a canal from shore TO shore. This is said to
leave out Of account the fact that the canal
should embrace not only the cut from shore to
shore, bur also the three marine miles from
either END, which by international usage comes
