Novel summer Coat For Men.

This summer has witnessed many
varieties of thin summer coats of wash
silk, brought out for the comfort of
man and intended strictly for use and
not for ornament, but nothing has yet
been offered in the way of q coat quite
as gay as the new kimono smoking
and Office jackets Of gauze trimmed i'll
plain bands or fancy borders to suit
tie taste of the wearer. says the New
York Tribune. The gauZe ground of
the coat is dark. varying upon shades
of color that look black at first sight,
and the mesh OF the material is strong.
These coats are trimmed in bands of
various colors. the dark. plain ones in
tended for more public appearances
and the fancy mes meant to be worn
when Il man lounges in his smoking
den or private apartment.

RIFLE SHOT TROPHIES.

Two New Ones ia he Competed For
by National nnd state Riicmen.
Riflemcn. national and state, are tax
ing an extraordinary interest in this
years rifle matches, and it is confident
ly predicted by those in authority that
the present will be a record" year in
all the principal contests, says the New
York Tribune.
This impetus to proficiency in marks
mansllip is due directly and indirectly
to United States Senator John r. Dry
den Of New Jersey, who by his official
and personal acts has furnished the
country two of the most valuable tro-
phies ever contested for on the rifle
range. 1t was through Mr.. Dryden's
| personal and persistent efforts that the
military committees of congress last
year agreed to insert a clause in the
army appropriation bill authorizing fol-
the first time "a national trophy, med
ais and other prizes to be provided for
and contested for annually " y by
the army and national guard or organ.
lied militia of the several states and
territories and of the District of Co
lumbia."
This national trophy, coupled with an
especially valuable and handsome one
which Mr.. Dryden recently presented,
has naturally aroused a spirit of the
keenest interest among those ambitious
for honors for the small arm.
The Dryden trophy is to be shot for
on the range at Sea Girt, N. j., under
the auspices of the New Jersey State
Rife association. 1t is to be of bronze
5 feet Z inches high, mounted on an
ebony base eighteen inches high, max.
ing a total height of about seven feet
The cost will be about $4,000. The gen
eral design represents a banner bear
ing on the front q wreath in relief ant
twenty-five convex disks for the names
of the winners of each year. The pane
at the top bears the words "Dryde1
Trophy" The letters themselves viii
be Of IA carat gold in relief. The fig
ures of the i%nfantryman ION the left
and marine ION the right will be in full
relief. The coat of arms of the stat
at the top will also be in full relief
The panel at the bottom bearing the in
scription will be of bronze. The troph.
will be open to teams from the army Q
the United States, one team from tn
] ftaffy departments; United States navy
one team; United States marine corps
one team; national guard or uniforme'
, militia of the several states and terri
tories, including the District of Colum
bia, one team from each state or terri

BOYS OWED FOR DIMES.
New Christian Endeavor Way o
Inducing Newsboys to Battle.

Inducing NewsbOys to Battle.
If any one has an idea that the Chris
tan Endeavorers are sparing with
their money those persons would have
changed their minds if they had seer
how eagerly they throw nickels, dimes,
quarters and even half dollars into the
north fountain at the courthouse In
Denver for the sole purpose Of COM
polling our street newsboys to take a
bath, says the Denver Post.
"They have already begun good
work." said one bystander.
This sort of new amusement did not
fail to attract attention. There were
about $50 OF Denver's business men in
the audience who began to enjoy this
new fad and soon followed suit. One
little fellow who had Joined the mone,'
searchers came out $2.94 ahead: anoth-
err who, besides getting rid of a layer Of
real estate about half an inch deep.
had added S1.94 to his capital.

The Sock End.

There's been a lot of tall; about
The women's latest fad,
The style Of wearing socks so short
They'd barely suit a lad.
Some men are saying it's a shame
That women thus conspire
And to their use appropriate
Things meant for male attire.
But when one think of other things
That women took for dress
IT'S plainly seen that this new f1d
Need no man distress.
For long ago the women onned
Hats made like those for men,
And when they wearied of that fad
They started in again.
They took to shirts of mannish style.
And, though hat caused surprise.
They promptly added mannish cuffs.
Mans collars and mans ties.
And when cold weather came along
Some thought they We're not dressed
Unless they wore a mannish coat
AS well as manniSh vest.
They've broken into many sports
Man thought were all his own.
And on the field athletic girls
Their proves oft have shown.
We've heard them at the baseball games
Join in the fans refrains,
And we have seen them promenade
While pertly. swinging canes.
So when we think of all thee things
There's no excuse for shoes
Because the women hav a fed
OF wearing half length socks.
Don't make n fuss about the style.
Don't say that it's a shame.
For no odds what the fair ones wear
They're charming just the same.

PIGEON FED BY'LEO IN BED
Picturesque Incident of the Late
Pontiff's Illness


The Rome correspondent of the Ber-
lin LokalanZeiger wired his paper of a
picturesque incident of the illness Of
Leo NH. For a long time a pigeon
had been in the habit of flying to the
window of the pope's bedchamber daily
to be fed. 1t grew to know it's gentle
%benefactor and would feed from the
pontiff's hand and allow him to stroke
its head.
A few days ago it flew to the win
dow. No one came to feed it, and it
tapped with it's beak until the pontitf
ordered the easement opened. Then it
flew into the room and perched on the
pope's bed. Contra, the valet, was dis
patched for Lfead crumbs, and the pope
fed the bird and caressed it. He in
structed Contra to see that the bird
was fed after his death.

NEGOTIATIONS ENDED.
Moffett System vii Not Go to Bell
Company.

\ Negotiations between the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company
and the Montana & Wyoming com
pany for the purchase of the latter's
local system are at an end, for the
present at least, if not for all time.
L. l.. Moffett, president of the last
named company, has been informed
by the president and secretary OF the
Bell company that his offer has been
rejected. In return they made him
a proposal, which he declined. The
matter of price is one on which the
two concern split. 1t being settled
definitely that the competing company
will not buy, Mr.. Moffett has begun
an effective campaign for business
and says he is meeting with good re-
| suits. gaining many new subscribers
for instruments.
When the matter of the sale of the
| Moffett lines was pending, some per-
sons who were in a position to know
considerably of what was going on
predicted that no sale would be eff
fected. They said that the Bell com
pany would not entertain any propo-
sition that might be submitted to
them by the competing company. The
value of the Moffett plant, they said,
was too great to be sold for any price
that the other "nncern would care to
pay, consequently they were satisfied
that the deal would not be consum
mated. They also called attention tc
the charter from the city under which
the Moffett system is operated. II
it is specifically provided that the
grantees shall never sell or assign the
system to any one, but shall operate
it themselves. Sale or transfer, it il
held, would cause a revocation of thu
franchise.

REV. D. S. YALE RESIGNS.
Surprises His Congregation at Bath BY
rendering His Resignation.

Bath Me, March S.-(SpeciaD.-A the
forenoon service of Central Congregations
al church, today, the pastor Rev. David
l.. Yale, read his resignation and asked
that it be accepted so as to take effect.
April IA. The notice came as a complete
surprise to the whole church and parish
as Rev. Mr.. Yale had given no intiination
to his friends of his intention, and gives
no explanation farther than to say that he
believes that another can do more for the
church and the city itself than he
his passionate here has not been alto
gether pathway of roses, owing to the
severe criticism which was the result of
certain sermons and acts. although It is
believed that these have had nothing to do
with his resignation. 1t was Mr.. Yale who
denounced prize fighting year ago and
temporarily stopped it. and then last fall
attended, an exhibition at the Alameda
in company with Mayor Hyde.
The members of his church are very sor-
~ to have him resign, but Mr.. Yale is de-
termined in the matter and the resigna-
ton will doubtless be accepted.
