How many women know where fo sit in a hanson? Not the large ma. jority, as seen in the streets toolinp about in what Lord Beaconsfield calls the London gondola," and whichs is as popular here to-day as with our English cousins across the water. To sit properly in a hansom a woman driv- ing alone never should occupy the mid dle of the seat. To do so is, according to Mime. Grundy's decrees, very bad form, for it makes her conspicuous particularly when she shows a ten dency to lean forward on the doors man fashion. Such a trick is not to be indulged in by the woman who desires reputation for the correct thing. For her the proper place to sit is in the corner, and this not only for rea~ sons of propriety, but safety as we'll. In case the horse stumbles, or other accident occurs, the woman who sits in the corner stands fair chance of preventing herself from being thrown out of the cab, for she has the pillar on which the door is hung, as well aa the side of the cab, to protect her. Time was when girls were not per- mitted to ride alone in hanson, but that has passed. Mime. Grundy's only restriction now being that they shall occupy the vehicle in what she decreea the right way.-N. Y. Herald.

ELOPED IN AN AUTO.
Modern Invention Aids in Thwart-
 ing an Irate Father.
Young Parisienne and the Man She Loves Rum Away from Parental Distractions in a Fast
 Motor Car.

There are ways of escaping the French marriage de convenance-not many, but at least one. One of the requisites is lover sufficiently bold. The other, in the case of record, at least, was a motor car. Another requisite is bride sufficiently reyolu- tionary, daring and rebellious. In this case she was not wanting, and there fore Paris has bit of gossip all the better because the principals are prom inent and because papa is furious and now appealing to the police.
 It was shocking jolt to cherished French ideal-that concerning the do- cility of French daughters when the question of their hand and heart is be- ing considered. If it had not been for the motor car, and for one other fea- ture to the elopement, Parisian senti- ment might have been decidedly with papa and against his daughter and his new slon-in-1aw
 Mile. Cordelia Le Play handed over her affections in the first place readily enough to Dr. Marcile at the parental command. After this affair had been progressing happily for some time the father found richer suitor for his daughter, and ordered all bets off and a new book made. That is where the daughter objected. She carried on T clandestine spondence with Dr. Marcile, who was under the ban, and finally asked him to carry her away. The physician consented. Mile. Le Play left home ostensibly for the opera. She went to the establishment of one Mme. Bob" Walter, who used to be music hall singer, but who now rents automobiles.
 Dr. Marcile met her there. They were furnished with a speedy motor car, one of the kind that can make speed. At Chantilly they were met by some of the physicians comrades and a little dinner was served. Then they went on to Italy.
 As soon as the escaping couple were out of sight Mme. Walter, with an eye to the advertising the escapade would give her autom obile ablishment, prepared and gave the newspapers de- tailed account of the runaway, so that Paris had its sensation and papa learned that his. daughter had flown from the parental vine and fig tree.
 The fathers description of the rum aways, which he has sent to the police, does justice to his daughters good looks. He says her stature is tall, her figure slim and elegant, her hair fair, touched with gold, her eyebrows dark, her eyelashes black, her face oval, her complexion fair. Even Dr. Marcile could not have been more fattering than his angry father. He describes the physician as being man of 3Owith corpulent and muscular figure, with curly auburn hair, black mustaches round face, forid complexion, fiat nose, prominent black eyes, large hands &nd short nails.

 "Nice cigar, isn't it?" she said in her pleasant way. Don't you find it SOP"
 The, boy couldn't steady his voice sufficiently to reply, but he forced him self to take another puff and when his hand with the cigar in it dropped he gave the smoldering thing a glance that expressed nothing but the deep- est loathing.
 sI always like the looks of these nice, large cigars" said. his mother. "They seem so"
 ''Pp-please d-don't, mother" gasped the boy. 'I-I-think I'm g-g-going to d-die.'
 Twenty minutes later he promised in broken voice that he would never again attempt to smoke until she told him he was old enough to begin.

M. Le Play IS said to be getting an- grier as the days go by. His daughter can get married in Italy without his consent-that is, can be married by the church Such marriage would not count in the eyes of the French judges and she cannot overcome the parental veto for two years yet, being now but IS. Before the two lovers ran away the physician offered to renounce all right to dowry and the girl to reinquish all share in the estate after her fathers death if the parents only would consent to the marriage. This the father refused to do, but the offer has served to make the Parisian public all the more sympat thetic with the run 0wauS.

white lady who stopped at his home in Williamsburg county, S. C., where he was engaged in picking cotton and killing tobacco worms. He became fired with the ambition to be great educator of his race, and one dark night he stole away from home and started on his search for the school. Caleb strolled all over the south, he said, being directed by one person and another, and a few days ago was amazed to find himself in Washington. In this city, he said, he first learned that the school of learning which he had been seeking was far away in Alabama. He went to Baltimore and visited Morgan college there. The authorities advised him to see the supervisors of charities in. the hope that they would send him to Tuskegee. The supervisors, however, stated that they were unable to send him to the school, and the little fellow left the headquarters with the remark that he guessed he'd ''jes' have ter wall1.''

General Stan Bill Reconsidered and Pnssed--House Considers Post- office Approprintions-PIan
 to Pension Ex-SIaycs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Toward the end of the session of the senate yes terday there was a lively passage of words between MT. Gallinger and MT. Beveridge. The former declared in un- mistakable terms that Mir. Beveridge and his followers on the statehood bill were prolonging the debate in pursu- ance of q deliberate and premeditated system of obstruction" MT. Quay in jected some humor into the debate aft. CT MT. Kean, who had held the floor for some time in opposition to the bill, announced that he would postpone his remarks on account of a severe cold by saying that the infirmities of the oppo- nents of statehood were increasing to such an extent that he expected soon to see them all in a hospital.
 The general staff bill was reconsid- cred and passed with an amendment putting the chief of staff under the di- rection of the president land the secre- tary of war under the direction of the president.
 In the house the general debate on the postotfice appropriation bill was en- livened by an interesting discussion of the tariff question. It was participated ill by MT. Sibley (Rep., Pa), Mir. Will Hams Oem., Miss.l and MT. Griggs Dem., Gal. The consideration of the postoffice bill in committee of the whole was completed, but it was not passed.

THREE WARSHIPS READY TO SAIL
The WarliIxc News From Honduras Causes Actfvity--severnl Vessels to He Made Ready With the
 Greatest Possible Dispatch.

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD, Cal, Feb. 5.-Rush orders have been re- ceiyed from Washington ordering that all work now on vessels in the navy yard be completed with the greatest possible dispatch. Tn view of this or der an extra force of men will be em- pIoyed at once, and a night force has been inaugurated to complete the re- pairs on the United States cruiser Bennington, which is practically ready for service. Several other vessels can be made ready for sea within short time.
 Large quantities of stores have been shipped to San Francisco to be trans ferred to the Boston, New York and Ranger, now lying at anchor in the harbor.
 It is thought that the trouble brew ing in Honduras is the only reason for the animation now being shown at the navy yard.
 The warships in commission in San Francisco harbor will be on their way to Amapala, port on the Pacific coast of Honduras, early next week. The New York, the Boston and the Ranger are now in the bay ready to start on short notice.
 In view of the orders, Admiral Glass has relieved Admiral Casey in the command of the Pacific fleet. It had been arranged that the flags of the ad- mirals should be changed on Feb. 10, but the hurry orders to the fleet to get into southern waters prompt the change being made in the commanding officers in advance of the arranged time.

the man in the navigator's suitable landing
place.
The machine had balloon attachment but gets

in readiness. the fastenngs to the machine were
released. and IL started down incline. The navi-
gator Wilbur Wright. then started a small gaso-
lene engine, which worked the propellers. When
the end of the incline was reached the machine
gradually arose, until IL obtained an altitude OF
sixty feet. In the face Of the strong wind blow
ing it maintained an even speed Of eight miles

The idea OF the box kite has been adhered to in
