AS SEEN BY LADY MoDIsH.

One sees checked suits everywhere,
says Lady Modish," in Town Topics.
There were dozens of them at Graves
end last Saturday, and they were
eharmingly cooi-looking as well as
dressy One of the most effective cos
tunes of this sort was made with a
long, tight skirt, strapped and beauti-
fully stitched and tailored. The coat
was made with point de gaze lace for
a foundation, over which was a tiny,
full tucked, loose covering of the silk
reaching just below the arm hole. An
other was made far more simply, and
was of very large shepherds plaid in
black and white. 1t was primarily a
shirtwaist suit, buttoned up the back,
from the very tip of the long train to
the top of the low collar. There was
no lace with this gown but the ma
terial was pinched to form various lit
tie figures, like miniature suns, with
covered buttons for centers. These
ornamented the skirt flounce. and also
the bodice and short sleeves.
Black Chantilly lace mitts are par
ticularly good form with silk gowns
They come in all styles and all lengths
Some reach quite to the shoulder 9TH
ers to the elbow, and others are short
and tight, like those our grandmothers
wore A dark-haired young visiting
beauty from Baltimore wears a white
organic over palest pink, which is a
work of art. 1t is trimmed with a
dozen or more rows of narrow black
velvet ribbon about the skirt and the
sleeves The bodice is of heavy crochet
lace, with the velvet ribbon wound in
and out. Wherever the organdie is
used it is finely tucked. The gown has
a sash with lace-trimmed edges, reach
ing nearly to the hem of the skirt in
the back No side nor front sashes are
seen this season. They all depend from
the back

From the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
Game Protector Barger has a rather
novel case on his hands. Tuesday he
notified Henry Parker, who runs the
far mowned by Walter L. Prudden, a
Lockport merchant, in the town of
Lockport, five miles north of this city,
to appear before Police Justice Brad
ley yesterday morning on a charge of
having a golden pheasant in his pos
session illegally.
At first Mr.. Prudden directed his man
to disregard the summons on the
ground that he had locked up the
pheasant to protect his property. but
after a consultation with a lawyer
deemed 1t best to have Mr.. Parker APP
pear and defend the case. Mr.. Parker
says he had to lock up the pheasant
as a matter of self-defense.
He claims that during the terrible
snowstorms of February the pheasant
came to his barnyard and consorted
with the fowls, sharing their meals
and the shelter there. When the warm
days came the wild bird continued his
vicits, but insisted on being boss. TO
accomplish this the pheasant fought
every rooster on the farm and was in
variably the victor. He then tackled
the gobblers and defeated them. The
domestic poultry was demoraliZed by
the intrusion of the Monaghan.
One day he followed rooster into
the coop and one of the Parkers shut
up the troublesome bird. They had
him in confinement thirteen days when
Protector Barger discovered the tech
nical infracton of the law which pro-
tects golden pheasants until 1905. The
Niagara County Anglers Club has been
stocking the county with the birds and
they have been multiplying.

the piano, and directed the singing.
The feature of the morning was the
reading by the children of original pa
pers on the life of Davis. Miss Ger
trude Falligant recountCH the story OF
his bOyhood and youth in a most in
teresting manner. Miss Nellie Everett
read an excellent paper on Davis as
President. Master Carlisle Thornton
related an anecdote entitled WAS He
a Coward?" Miss Ruby Mongin spoke
on the"Prison Life of President Davis, &"
and Master Frank George of the closing
years of his life. A recitation on def
ferson Davis" was delivered by Miss
Fannie Howard, who charmed the au-
dieEce with her clever rendering of the
poem.
The most interesting as we'll as the
most enjoyable event of the meeting
was the paper by Mrs. Louis G..
Young, on the boy-life of the beloved
President of the CCnfederacy. 1t was
written in Mrs. Young's finished ele-
gance of style, and yet with simplic-
ity that made it easily ineligible to
her youngest hearers and charming to
Young and old alike. A rising vote OF
thanks was offered to Mrs. Young, and
she was requested to permit the chap
Ter to place a copy of the paper among
its archives.
Several of the Confederate Veterans
We're present at the meeting, among
them, Capt. Louis G. Young, Mr..
Dreese, Mr.. Lucien Jones, Capt. A. F.
Marmelstein, and Mr.. Everett.
Before the close of the meeting Capt.
1oung addressed the children briefly,
expressing his interest and pleasure in
the exercises, and encouraging the
young people in their patriotism.
After the singing of Dixie" the
meeting adjourned

IN UP-To-DATE CHICAGO.

Making calls by telephone is the lat
est thing in absolutely correct social
circles in Chicago, says an exchange.
The new and convenient social GUS
tom is an outgrowth of the practice
that has for some time been prevalent
among clubmen of transacting business
over the wire.
1t was an easy matter for the women
to get in the habit of calling up one
another for a little gossip instead of
following the old and more laborious
custom of arraying themselves in their
good clothes and going to call in per-
son.
So much easier was it found to thus
pay off social obligations arrayed in
a comfortable morning gown and slip
pers that the new custom is now firm
ly ablished.

THE HINDU EDITOR.
DisbeIieves in OverwOrk and Prints
Excuses for SHORTCOMINGS.

Disbe1eVes in OverWOrk and Prints
Excuses for SHORTCOMINGS.
From the Detroit Press Press.
In amusing candor and ingenuity of
excuses the Western editor might learn
something from his Hindu brother,
who, when anything goes wrong with
the paper for which he is responsible,
is as fertile in excuses as a Chinaman,
says an English writer.
When the first copy of a new Hindu
newspaper made it's appearance recent
ly it's subscribers were amazed to see
that nearly half of it consisted of
empty columns. The following edito-
rial note, however, explained this va
gary:
I'VE regret that this, our maiden
number, should lack completeness due
to a miscalculation. We thought we
had sufficient material, and conse-
quently did not trouble to collect more.
We can assure our indulgent readers
that this will not occur again; and we
trust the quality of the contents will
make up for their lack of quantity !"
Another Hindu editor found 1t neces-
sary to suspend the publication of his
paper for a fortnight without any
warning. When the paper again made
its appearance 1T contained this anus
ing notice:
I'VE regret that, owing to a misun-
derstanding with a rival editor, in
which we failed to get all the best of
the argument, it was necessary fer
us TO retire unexpectedly from the con-
duct of this paper for the space of two
weeks, during which we have had OPP
portunities of devising certain improve
ments which we propose to Introduce
into it. The rival editor. we regret to
report, is still confined to his home. ."
When the Hindu editor wishes to rest
for time from his labors he calmly
and confidently announces the fact in
these or similar words:
LAS we are beginning to feel the ply
steal and mental effects of years UNI
renting devotion to the interests of
our readers, we feel it due to them that
we should take the rest which our la
bors in their behalf demand and de-
serve and, as a natural consequence,
beg to notify that this paper will cease
to appear for the space of four weeks"
A short time ago an Indian newspa-
per appeared with two very conspicu-
Gus blank columns on the front page.
The editor explained this eccentricity

At THE FRESH AIR HOME.

The formal opening of the Fresh Air
Home at Tybee took place yesterday
afternoon. Almost all the members
of the Froebel Circle were present to
welcome the children and to receive
the guests. About twenty-four chill
dren from the Day Nursery were al
ready in possession of their holiday
quarters, and very happy they seemed
to be, and very much at home, as
they trotted about the pretty rooms,
cunning little figures in their checked
Bingham aprons.
The home has been much improved
this year, with it's wide new piazza,
and a fresh coat of paint inside and
out. The windows are hung with spot
less curtains, and ferns and palms
have been added to make the rooms
attractive. Another improvement is
pretty sitting room, which was deco
rated yesterday with flowers and
plants in honor of the gala day. Re-
freshments were served to the visitors.
The matron in charge of the home
is Miss Ada Hull, who is assisted by
Miss Marie Icaid.

A RELIC OF SOME WAR.
Rust and Mud Covered Cannon Dug
Up From the River Bottom.


An old iron cannon covered with
rust and mud was taken out of the
bottom of the river yesterday by the
Babcock dredge at work opposite the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company's wharves. There is no doubt
Of its being an old timer, but from its
apparent age it could hardly have been

tumbled to the bottom of the bluff by
the Liberty Boys on June 8, 1875. 1t
would take but trifie of imagination,
however, to class the old gun as relic
of Revolutionary days. 1t is more than
likely that it was one of the guns lost
overheard from the pontoon bridges
thrown across the river and on which
the Confederate forces marched on the
evacuation of Savannah in 1864
