REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

lkTom the New York Press.l
Next to having a pearl necklace her
self, a woman gets the most JOY out of
her best friend not having one.
When woman isn't jealous about a
man she loves it is because he is sick
abed, where he can't see anybody.
What makes woman specially
happy is to do something for loves
sake that she would be ashamed to do
for dutvs.
You can tell a girl who isn't engaged
by the way she pretends to be and a
man who is by the way he Dretends
not to he.
1t Is hard to make some people I'M
dersta1d that you can't pour water into
an income as you can into a teapot. to
make it go further.

within the past six months would prob
ably have precipitated financial disaster.
1t is generally believed that there would
not have been such a disastrous panic
in 1893 and 1894 had the currency been
upon steady basis. 1t was the uncer-
tainty as to the value of money which
caused most of the trouble. Yet within
recent months there has been a constant
shrinkage in the value of stock, due to
liquidation, and it has been unattended
by severe shock. Only a few failures
have resulted, and these are attributed
in the main to speculation. Money rules
in the stock market absolutely, and If 1t
is good money it's rule is attended by
less danger than it would be il the mon
ey were of unstable value. What mon
ey can do to avert a panic was proved
when the Bank of England stepped in
after the failure of the Earrings In 1890
Thirty-seven millions Of securities were
taken up and held until the trouble had

Germany in the late nineties when ter

ey saved London a year or two later
after the collapse of the South African
mining shares. The men who control
Wall street appear to have firm grip
upon the situation, and there is every
reason to believe they will prevent dis

HOW TUNNEL WAS DUG.
Nobody Knew Anything About It
Until Finished.

It appears that an interesting work
has been going on in Chicago for sew
eral years without the knowledge OF
the public, in the excavation of a tun-
mel fourteen miles long under the bust
ness district of the city. says the
American Architect. This tunnel is a
business undertaking simply, and Is to
contain a railway for the transDorta-
ton of freight among the great mer-
camille houses and between them and
the freight stations of the forty two
railways which enter Chicago, besides
furnishing accommodation for tele-
phone wire4 and possibly wires of other
kinds. 1t is almost incredible that
tunnel of this length, varying in width
from to 13 feet and in height from 8
to IA feet, could have been constructed
under the most crowded part of great
city without the knowledge even of the
newspaper reporters, but the tunnel is
far below the surface, the depth vary
ing from q to 65 feet. so that it was
unnecessary to make temporary road
ways over 1t, and the excavated ma
terial has been taken out at night
through shafts opening in private
ground and taken away to the lake
front. The ground under Chicago is
soft clay, which was easily excavated.
everywhere with concrete.
A considerable portion of the tunnel
is already in use, and many business
houses have shafts opening into it.
equipped WIFI elevators. AllnOuRn an
underground freight railway of this
kind seems an expensive substitute for
trucks and horses, it is quite possible
that it may promote economy, as well
as convenience, in handling and trans
ferring merchandise. Every one must
see that the maintenance of a stable
full of horses and wagons and of a null
titude of grooms and drivers is an i'm
portant item in the cost of carrying on
business, especially when, as is often
the "a W. half
the time empty. or with only one small
package in them, and a system by
which goods arriving by mail could be
at once delivered at their destina ton,
with the minimum of handling, while
those shipped could be billed through
from the shipping clerks desk, would
be of immense advantage to merchants
as we'll as to the public.

FOR MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN.
Dress Limitations If Kept Within the
Pale of Quiet Elegance.

There is a limit, you know" said a
middle-aged woman, whose milliner
had been urging her to buy a large,
fiat hat, shelving out in front. Its all
very well to say that there are no old
women nowadays, and that we can all
dress alike, at any age, but it's a mat
ter in which good taste and common
sense must set a check upon fashion"
But you look young, said her
friend.
THANK you, my dear. But if that
statement has any foundation in fact,
apart from your favorable view, 1t Is
simply because 1 don't pretend to be
young. If dressed like a young girl.
1 should look old. It's true that there
are no distinctive styles now for young
and old but there are subtle mod1Hca-
tions that make all the difference. At
my age we must be freer in some par
ticulars and more restricted in Others"
II don't quite see what you mean by
that. though 1 do understand about
your subtle notifications 1 think you
manage them to perfection. But, as to
freedom and restrictions"
well, we can have a little more free
dom from the tyranny of styles FOR
example. We needn't always appear in
two-year-old waist that has not a very
long front, or stock collar too high
for this summers prevailing mode, We
can wear them without fear that the
girls Will say we look as IL we HdO

honors, we have surely won some little
emancipation from the smaller tyran-
MES of fashion. We have outgrown our
dread of a back number We may
even dare to adopt an individual style
of our own. which ultra conventional
youth could hardly venture upon. But
on the other hand there are some
things We must not, cannot, dare not

For instance, big picture hats. fiat
hats without trimming on the top, big
flying wells hanging down at the back,

Pittsburg Dispatch: Reports from
New York. Chicago and St Louis state
that the rush of buyers to these mar
kets and the size of orders placed for
fall and winter goods exceed all rec
ords. AS these buyers represent every
section of the country and their de-
mands are based upon intimate knowl-
edge of local conditions the fact that
they are preparing for an unprecedented
fall and winter trade is the best kind of
assurance that these specially qualified
observers of trade tendencies look for no
decline in the present prosperity They
ind no diminution of industry, no sign
or siackening business in their commun-
tiles. If there were they would be the
hrst to notice 1t and their orders would
reflect the result of their observations.
When, upon the contrary, they are
found placing even larger orders than in
other years it is an excellent indication
of their faith in continued prosperity
and a stimulant to general confidence.

Great violins Scarce.

Taking the fact that Joseph Joachim,
the violinist, has used up a Stradivarius
violin in his career as artist as
text, an English writer sees the danger
in the not very distant future that the
great instruments of the past will soon
er or later enter the cabinets of million
aires. where the artists will be unable
to make use of them. Not only will the
masterpieces of Stradivarius, Amati,
Guarnerius and their pupils go into OBJ
livion, either through loss or retirement,
but there will be no adequate instru-
ments to take their places. Thirty years
ago a good Strad could be bought for at
most So, 800 whereas now the same in
strument cannot be bought under $10
600. The remark by Joachim that those
who could not afford Strads should buy
Guadagnini violins has driven the price
of the instruments of this maker up
from $3.50 to $500. The Strads and
Cremonas seem to be the particular
hobby of the rich collectors while many
of the artists prefer the stronger mod
ern Guarnerius. Paganini, Vieuxtemps
and Ysaye have by preference used the
violins of this maker. being stronger
players. while Joachim and Sarasate
prefer the sweeter toned Strad.-North

EXCITES MUCH COMMENT.
Burton-Tlilman Conversion Letter
Taken Seriously.

The following is an editorial from the
Washington Star.
1T was only the other day that
Brother THlnan converted a pretty
hard 'huckleberry' in Kansas. He was
not consciously evangelizing, but was
talking politics. Still the poor fellows
heart was touched. and he confessed in
public his obligations to the senator
from South Carolina. Is this sort-of
thing spreading? In a speech delivered
in New York state yesterday David B.
Hill described the kind of men upon
whom the country is relying at this
time to bring 1t safely out of its diff
culties. He characterized them as cool
headed, and said:
Their ways are ways of pleasant
ness and their paths are peace, and
they believe that righteousness, more
than the triumphs of war. exalteth a
nation
Shall we hear from this in a relig-
ious way? Are the 'huckleberries' of
New York to be touched as have been
the 'huckleberries' of Kansas? Is
Brother Hill to compete with Brother
Tillman in a new field of labor?"
