GROVER oLEvELAND,s BOY.
President Would Rather Have Him
 Bridge Builder Than President.


 Bridge Builder Than President.
 Chicago, Oct 16.-Ex- President Gro yer Cleveland went to Armour institute yesterday. where he got an ovation from the lusty-lunged students which reminded dlim of the noisy enthusiasm of the college boys of his home town of Princeton. He made speech which brought forth more rounds of applause, and mo sentence was so loud ly cheered as TIis:
 'fI ann great stickler for higher edu- catdon, but I want to tell you this: The opportunities to-day are greater than ever for boys to get practical educd- tion-an industrial education and I would rather my own boy grew up able to build great bridge like the Brooklyn bridge than to receive the highest honor that the people could be- stow upon him."
 Before visiting the Armour school MT Cleveland. accompanied by James H. Eckels, called upon Mrs Walter O. Gresham, widow of Secretary of State Gresham of the Cleveland cabinet. MT Cleveland was guest of honor this afternoon at the public reception held in the Art institute The ex-presi- dent left fox Princeton at 6 o'clock last evening.

WHEN ONES NERVE FAILS
Emergencies in Which Mems self-Pos-
 session Deserts Them.

It is a curious thing, and one that remains standing puzzle even to those connected with the business all their lives, that tightrope, trapeze and other daring performers, who chiefly work in the open air at galas and so on, are far more liable to sudden nerve failure and to stage fright, if it may be. so called, than are their fel. lows who only show their prowess under a roof.
 Another fact equally well known is that once woman performer has heard the ringing shouts of an ap- plauding public, once she has learned some dangerous feat. she will run risks and quite fearlessly perform tricks that no male in the same line would ever dream of. The woman athlete has not to be urged on; she has to be restrained more often than not. It may be said at once that few among the public know how near death such people occasionally are.
 As Illustrating both the facts stated above, the writer can never forget seeing a woman tightrope walker whose rope had been left too slack She was performing at great height, and when she got to certain dis tance along the rope the latter sagged so that she could neither advance nor retire The public knew nothing of the danger until the manager, in an agony tried to get two immense lad ders. tied together, up to the rope. Bnt this arrangement fell short and even if it had not done so, no one would have dared to rest it against the sway ing rope. At last the ladders were held bodily upright by strong men till the topmost rung just touched the rope, then gallant young fellow, a sailor, went up while the ladder sway ed about as though in breeze. He snatched the woman on the rope and held her, just as she tainted and drop ped the balancing pole.-Tit- Bits.

Philadelphia, September 9.-That the Consolidated Lake Superior company, which has extensive interests on the great lakes and in Canada and which is capi- tallzed at more than 600 will be Involved In litigation with some of it's stockholders seems inevitable.

For Madame q Ia Mode.

During the earliest weeks of autumn, when cotton gowns are just a bit too sug- gestive of hot weather, and even the light weight woolen ones are somewhat heavy, taffeta silk Is an excellent material for between season costume, both for street and house wear, says Paris letter. While black taffeta has had long and deserv- edly popular reign, and is by no means out of fashion, there are numbers of wo- men who do not care to wear black silk of any description. especially in the street They consider 1t unbecomlng or imagine that 1t collects dust readily, while there are others who contend that nothing so quickly stamps the wearer as
 middle aged" when, as a matter of fact, black silk may be made into as youthful looking and becoming a cos tune as any other color.
 For street and shopping purposes the darker shades of brown or the black and white check taffetas are considered smart est and are usually made up on extreme ly simple lines, sometimes with a coat and slSirt-the latter either long or short-but in shirt waist style, a combi- nation which now embraces innumerable designs and may be very elaborate or se- verely simple. One of these taffetas In a medium shade of brown has hair line of white through it and is made into a short walking costume. The front of the skirt consists of broad box plait with six plaits on either side which are so deep as to afford that fullness around the bot

THE YELLOW JASMINE'S
 CLAIMS TO RECOGNITION

TN the long list of bills introduced in
 the legislature there Is one that must
 have caught the eye of even the most casual reader. This bill carried with it no appropriation and it seemed an ideal re- action from the stress of bills preceding it. It carried instead the fragrance of wondrous flower, the breath of spring time, the flashing of golden petals. You were at once conscious of their perfume, the subtlest, the sweetest that ever reaches you in early spring on your ram bles in the woods.
 MT. Hall of the house, has introduced a bill to make the Yellow Jasmine the floral emblem of Alabama. Of all the flowers indigenous to this soil, the jas mines charms to such recognition comes first. In selecting it there could hardly be a dissenting voice, unless there is some unfortunate enough to have never seen the jasmine in it's wild and perfect beauty. To those nature lovers who have appreciated it's almost mystical lovelness, shining as 1t does star-like amid it's foli age MT. Halls suggestion will seem peculiarly happy one For those who come in the unfortunate class 1t is not yet too late for them to test the jasmine's claims to superiority over even the mountain lau- rel. the golden rod. and the countless wild flowers that make Titania bowers after the winter winds are stilled
 In those countries where the jasmine grows even more riotously than in the south. it's petals furnish the rarest of perfumes and in the far east the almond eyed women string the flowers on threads and wear them as necklaces. From the roots of the jasmine Is made yellow dye, pale, and yet scintllant with its pe- culiar lights. The jasmine groves of the East are as familiar in the stories of the Orient as Is the primrose of England. In India alone there are forty species of jas mine used in manufacturing oil and otto of jasmine It gathers it's snbtleness and power from its native home, Persia.
 In America there are many varieties. The south produces both the cape jessa- mine and the beautiful night jessamne. the former growing to large trees. the white blooms waxen in their purity, and in strong contrast to the scarlet jasmine of the West Indies.
 The jasmine in any cline and reflecting a hundred different tints still retains its sweetness, alluring, mystical In it's wild state this scent Is even more languorous, more irresistible. Blended with 1t may be the fragrance of those wild and love- ly things that grow about our brooks and cling to the trees, but the scent of the yellow jasmine is always compelling In It's sweetness.

tom which bids fair to be a marked feat ure Of next winters walking skirts. and which. by the way, can only be hung pro- perly by an expert dressmaker, for If the shsrt skirt of the present day does not hang perfectly it is a dismal failure.
 The waist made over a boned and fitted silk lining has one broad box plait down the front, with two narrow ones at either side, each plait having a narrow piping of brown velvet the same shade as the silk. The back is plain, with the slight fullness gathered into tiny plaits at the belt, which is of the brown velvet. The sleeves of medium size are laid in plaits from the shoulder to a little below the elbow whence they are allowed to form puff to the wrist where they are gathered into velvet cuff. A high stock collar of vel vet finishes the waist at the neck.
 Black and white checked taffeta made on severely simple lines furnished the ma terial for another pretty street gown. The skirt was short and laid in innumerable side plaits which were caught down mid way to the hem, and there was noticeaby more fullness put into the back of the skirt than has been the case with skirts worn during the past few months. The blouse, fitted in the back to clearly define the lines of the figure, had attached skirts reaching half way to the knees and was worn over a white shirt waist of em- broidered linen. The only touch of con. trasting color was seen on the deep turn ed over collar of the blouse, on which was appliqned design of maple leaves in pale green silk overlaid with coarse white lace
