Tage, Flagship of the North At
\ Iantlc Squadron, Now in This
Harbor, Prepares for CeIe-
bration Tomorrow.
LIKE OUR FOURTH OF JULY.
AoeaI French Societies viii Enter.
tain Officers Of Visiting Warship
and tackles VIII Be Allowed More
than Usual Shore Leave.

The French colony of New York will
have the cruiser Tage. flagship of the
North Atlantic Squadron, and her guns
and searchlights and bunting to aid in
the celebration tomorrow OF Frances
republican birthday, the anniversary of
the fall OF the Bastile. The Fourteenth
OF July to the Frenchman is as the
Fourth to the Yankee; no matter what
land he may be in he never forgets the
day.
In anticipation OF tomorrow this was
busy day aboard the Tage. The jack
les had their washing done early and
sent UP forward to dry. Most OF the
clothing consisted OF white duck, for 1t
is the order of Admiral ftlvet that the
bao OF the crew must appear at their
best. There was a general "house-
cleaning" of the Tage and she'll be shin
ing as bright as a new pin when to-
morrow dawns.
Many OF the local French societies
have arranged to entertain officers and
men ashore, and in the evening the
compliment will be returned by the
sailors. 1t has been suggested that some
Of tho American patriotic societies in
New York show the Jackies of La Belle
France some attention in return for the
courtesy and honor they paid the Fourth

opened with a salute to the tricolor,
followed by all hands being mustered to
attend chapel There will be an extra
allowance of something to drink during
the day and certain observances OF the
occasion IN the menus of the wardroom
and tween decks.
The Tage will wear a most gorgeous
array Of bunting all day and at night
u 1t Is clear her searchlights will be
brought into play as they were on the
Fourth. As further recognition of the
day the liberty parties-the men who
are given shore leave-will be larger
than usual 1t Is the custom in many
foreign ports to permit sailors of ma
ttons celebrating holidays to have a
shade more leeway than usual, and It
% believed that the police will be IN
olined tomorrow to overlook any little
pranks of the jaclles who come ashore
from the Tage and who don't act just
like Sunday-schooi boys.

has been at anchor in the North River

ICE FAMINE NOW
CONFRONTS BRONX.
According to American Ice Com
pany's Official There Is Not
Enough to Meet the Next Hot.
Spell Demand.

Although the ice famine In Harlem
and the Bronx was not so pronounced
to-day as 1t was Saturday and Sun
day. small hopes are held out to the
poorer people of that section for the
coming heated periods Of the sum-
mer. The superintendent OF the Amer
lean Ice Company's depot. at One Hun
dred and Twenty eighth street and East
River. stated to-day that the supply
qlate to the demand. lie further said
that persons who had contracted for
a supply of ice would be served first.
and that the poor families, who depend
on small dealers. would have to take
their chances.
"rho ice crop last winter" he said
twas remarkably poor. and when the
first spell OF hot weather came we could
mot begin to meet the demand. We
chartered fifteen extra boats at 800 a
day each to bring us ice from Albany
and We kept an extra large force ot
men working night and day. but 1t did
but little good. Our territory, which
runs from Ninety-tirst street to the end
of the Eronx. demands from 1000 to 1850
tons Of ice daily. bit wo cannot supply
tins demand on extremely hot days.
To-day we are all right. but the next
hot day means suffering for the tene-
ment-houses and the small homes un-
less some means Is devised to remedy
the existing condition OF affairs
THE real trouble is that this section Of
tho city has grown rapidly, while our
facilities have not been increased. 1t Is
all folly to say, as some people have said
that the ice famine is the result OF
deliberate attempt on the part OF the
American Ice CO. to serve consumers
direct thus dispensing, with the middle
mans prohts. II we had Ice to sell the
small dealers they would get all they
wanted. As 1t is, We must serve our
customers under contract to us first.

ART IN SKIRT LIFTING.
French Girl ExceIs American in This
Matter

Inherent grace is no greater in
French girls than in American girls, :"
said Nine. Baker at the national con-
vention of dressmakers. But in the
dainty art of carrying their skirts in
their hands while taking the air of
the boulevards, French girls are in
comparably superior to their Ameri-
can cousins. The secret Is that the
French maids petticoat is made to
clear the ground, while the Ameri-
cans drop skirt is asleng as the
outer garment The American must
lift both skirts to prevent their trail
ing in the dirt of the streets. She
grasps a great bundle Of unwieldy
cloth, so heavy and clumsy that
almost invariably she pulls it around
in way that plays havoc with the
effectiveness of her gown. The
French demoiselle has only the outer
skirt to care for and she has no need
of muscle to lift with fairy grace the
fabric.-Chicago Record-Herald.

outward, in the position in which
good housewives put away this kitchen

fiatiron in shape, for it is made of
stout cardboard cut the shape of a
small flatiron face"This is padded
with cotton and covered smoothly with
satin. A handle of heavy wire is added
and wound with narrow ribbon, which
is tied in bows where the handle joins
the cushion part.-Brooklyn Eagle.

about the foolishness of hens, but
when it comes to right-down, plum
foolishness, give me rooster, every
time. He's always strutting and
stretching ana Growing and Dragging
about things with which he had moth
ing to do. When the sun rises, you'd
think that he was making all the
light, instead of all the noise; when
the farmers wife throws the scraps
in the henyard, he crows as if he was
the provider for the whole farmyard
and was asking a blessing on the
food; when he meets another rooster,
he crows; and when the other rooster
ticks him, he crows; and so he keeps
it up straight through the day. He
even wakes up. during the night and
crows a little on general principles.
But when you hear from a hen, she's
laid an egg, and she don't make a
great deal of noise about it, either"

Horace Greeley was one of the

Cursing was second nature to him.
He even called himself names that
would cause duel In the South if

he realized that he was dying he said
aloud: well, the devils got you at
last, you id old - A week after
the funeral his daughter, Miss Gabri-

words of her father. Reid wrote:

business men of Cleveland, for whom
the police of the country have been
looking for the past ten days, is in this
city. White left home without telling
any one in his family where he was
going, it is said, and thereby caused
great anxiety, resulting in the notifi-
cation to the police. The theory was
advanced that he had committed sui
eide, and search was made for the re-
mains. He simply said he was wor-
ried and tired of work and came away
for e rest. He has communicated with
his parents and will return home at

his wife on his arm. They were ad-
miring the beautiful buildings which
dot the campus several of them hav-
ing been erected by wealthy alumni.
Presently they came to an especially
noble hall, built of stone, and occu-
plying commanding site. Over the
main entrance was marb' tablet
which announced that the 4.all had
been erected by John c. Blank as a
memorial to his Beloved Wife,
President Hadley stood and looked
at the noble pile for moment. Then
ne heaved sigh that was almost en-
vious.

should like to do for my college,

Those who have seen women who

Many ladies are taking fencing les

Strength of leg is necessary, as
we'll as of wrist, and much activity.
But it is most admirable exercise,
improving the figure and developing
the muscles, and is worthy to be
made an art.
1t is not only physical strength that
is required for this amusement, but

Old fashioned women always pro-
vided themselves with fine gowns for
use in the possible event of being
forced to face fire in a scanty night
toilet. The modern women meet the
same possibility by storing, in a con-
venient place in every room, bottles
filled with a mixture made from ten
pounds of salt, five pounds of sal am
moniac and four and half gallons
of water, says the Chicago News.
Should fire start break bottle or
two of this over the burning place.
