oLD-FAsHIoNED COLLARS IN.
Women May This Year Wear FriIls of
the Designs Popular in 1880.

Efforts were made in several fash

try last summer to revive a collar in
vogue in 1880, and slight measure OF
success attended the movement. It's

drawn up in numerous rows of shir-

but any cable cord heavy enough will
serve the turn. The scarf is then fit

GIFTS FOR TIN WEDDINGS.
Many Queer Articles Are Fashioned
These Times for Such Occasions.


In these days one need not be at a
loss to find appropriate articles to
present to friends on the occasion of
tin wedding-the tenth anniversary
of the ceremony that reduced loving
couple to one individuality. Formerly
gifts to tin articles OF a practical
nature-tubs, pans, coffee pots, ETC..
meant for actual use. But now a
gorgeous bouquet of tin flowers may
be had or a fancy tin hamper for
candy, perhaps an elaborate tin belt
for the woman or a garlanded tin
punch bowl or cigar jar for the man.
The tin bouquets are facsimiles of
tie genuine flowers so far as shape
goes and are brightly FURNISHED tin.
Baby go-carts in miniature, with cano-
Ply, afghan and lace trimmings com.
plete, are among the gifts; so are
handsome tin scrap baskets, imposing
looking vases, fern dishes and cabinet
ornaments. All are destined to be
kept by the wedding pair until the
novelty of possession wanes and then
to find their way to the junk dealers
Among the nonsense gifts are we'll
fitting mems collars with buttonholes
and bindings in place, tin boots, tall
stiff-crowned hats, memoranda books
and wallets; also tin walking sticks,
TN watches with chains and seals and
elaborate ornaments and tiaras for the
hair in imitation of the jewelers. fur
nlshings.
The manufacturers of such goods
are frequently called upon to make to
order some article that hits on the
! known habits or foibles of the couple
to be honored. These orders are often
filed at short notice, directions for
quite elaborate articles completed in
time to be delivered that night.
A good business is now done in
these articles. Few people entitled to
celebrate their ten years of wedlock
fail to take advantage of the occasion.
And frequently those couples who pro-
fess to have little sentiment in such
matters are reminded of their lapse
from etiquette by the curious and
/ laughable tin junketry which finds its
way to their doors on the festal day

DON'T WORRY.

It's not the heavy burden
That is hard for us to bear,
But the many little trials
That seem scattered everywhere
IT'S not today that worries us,
But what the next may bring,
And the next; the worries of yesterday
Are gone-have taken wing.
If we could but learn this lesson
To live only day by day;
If on the morrow comes care,
There also comes a way.
IT'S said that trouble comes half way,
Don't you so half way to meet it.

small loan in the middle of the week,
and above all, her had never missed

For some some months, however, he
had become moody and distracted in
his manner. He had declined either to
rush the can himself or to partake OF
the cans of his mates, eating his lunch
apart in remote corner of the shop.
The hall, where with red carnation in
his buttonhole, he had been wont to
officiate as floor manager, knew him
no more. He would not even buy a
ticket for the rattle for Scotty Green's

Miss Johnson is one of the most
beautiful young women in Cleveland
society. She is only 20 years of age

WHAT BREAKS A MAN UP.

1t is not this playing at billiards
That tires man most to death;
But it's bringing coal up from the cell
lar
That takes away his last breath.
And it is not the base balls fierce
pitching
That will knock him all of heap;
But it's saving a few sticks of green
wood
That will give him a grave long and
deep.
And it's not through the midnight
carousal
That so many give up the strife,
But it's walking the floor with the
baby
Deprives a poor fellow of life.

Variety of Business Gifts.
New York Evening Post.-Anounce-
ment of the plan to reorganize the
affairs of the Cramp Ship-Building
company so as to save the great plant
from failure gives point to the
criticism often made by bankers that
good business ability rarely goes with
unusual talent for other purusits. So
many old-established firms have had
to be helped out by banking syn
dicates of late that such predicaments
no longer attract attention. Bankers
get well paid for such services, re-
ceiving anywhere from $4,000 to $780,
600 where the risk is not great and
very much more where there IS
definite liability involved. During
the reorganization period from 1895
to 1897, when SO many roads were re-
constructed by bankers, $1,000, 900
was about the lowest fee paid by
roads of any magnitude. In the case
of one industrial enterprise the
bankers are known to have asked
100000 for simply merging several

Speaking of reorganization deals, a
banker who has achieved much
notoriety as corporation doctor"
said: 1T takes usually from three to
five years to straighten out large
concerns affairs. The work is attend
ed with great difficulty and much an
noyance. There is apt to be more or
less litigation, with all sorts of
spurious claims to settle and other
matter that have to be sifted. We
have to be absolutely merciless about
cutting down salaries and throwing
out pets long in Office. Then, too,
there is usually period of sending
good money after bad, which means
heavy advances and long delays. For
this a fair compensation is paid,
sometimes on the commission basis,
but quite often at salary which is
not excessive, considering the risk
run. While each case has to he
judged by itself, these embarrass-
ments usually result from dry rot
Some one has gone to sleep or has
been travelling too long on the reputa-
ton of a great name, with the result
that he finds himself decade or two

AMBITION NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Tom L. Johnson's Daughter Will Not
Shine as a Dramatic Star.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland
has a beautiful and talented daughter,
Miss Bessie, who is in open rebellion
against his paternal authority, albeit
she is compelled to submit to man
date that perhaps prevents her from
becoming one of the bright and shin
ing lights of the dramatic stage. For
some time past Miss Bessie has been
seriously thinking of becoming pro-
fessional actress. and after numerous
appeals to her father got permission
to visit New York and make an inves-
tigation of her chances for success.
A few weeks ago, accomplished by
her mother. she arrived in New York
and stopped at the Waldorf-Astoria
while visiting the different theatrical
schools in the city. She finally de-
cided upon taking course at the
American Academy of Dramatic Art
and made frequent calls at the offices
Oh this shcool.
One of the conditions under which
she was to take up the study was that
the regular allowance granted her by
her father should be sufficient TO pay
the tuition and all other expenses
upon investigation the dramatic agent
declares that she found this was moi
enough and tried to have the authori
ties of the school make special ar
rangements for a reduction in tuition
This could not be done, however, SC
