Osprey Plumes.

If there is one thing distinctive of the seasons headgear 1t is the osprey plume. Combined with fur, this is the essence of fashionable millinery, sable and white osprey hat may be seen on leading so- ciety woman when she drives, and most of her friends have at least one example of osprey feathers. The vogue of this plume was not started until late in the season, when London aristocratic women announced themselves in it's favor. Os- prey plumes derived immense impetus from the Hartopp divorce case. Every time Lady Hartopp, the defendant ap- peared in the courtroom her golden brown hair was surmounted by one of the deli cate plumes. Osprey thereupon came into high favor.

Louis Philippe,s Throng.

An interesting relic has been found amid a lot of old lumber at the Palais Bourbon. It is the throne which Louis Philippe was wont to occupy when he went there to open the sessions of par liament. It was thought that the throne had disappeared. like that of the Tuileries after the outbreak of the revolution in 1S4S, but it has turned up certainly not the worse for wear as it has never been used since that date, and only requires little dusting

NO MERCY FROM LEDGER.
Evans Proposes to Make Us Look Like
 Dimes Worth of Dog Meat.

The captains of the Age-Herald and Ledger baseball teams had their men out yesterday and two hours of good prac- tice was taken on. The men were chased up and down the alley for an hour or more and then taken back in the press room and rubbed down with lubricating oil. A shower bath was then indulged in and the men all appeared in the pink of condition
 The management of the Ledger club has seen fit to refute statements to the effect that their team had been practicng with a ball in the alley, but an Age-Herald carrier boy asserts positively that he saw three men practicing signals at 4 o'clock in the morning and in case of an injunc- ton he is ready to go on the stand and prove It.
 The Age-Herald uniforms arrived yes- terday and are very natty. They consist of dark hats. either brown, gray or black. and negligee shirts of any color. The belts are of leather canvass and the trousers of some dark material. Every member of the team is required to wear leather or canvass shoes.
 The Ledger uniforms will be somewhat of the same material. Home-Run Ryall was out yesterday af- ternoon giving exhibitions of his famous hit and expects to hand out nice one for the school children Thursday after noon.
 With cynical look on his face. J. Troublesome Evans, press agent for the Ledger team, said yesterday afternoon: well it's all off with the Age-Herald. and you had just as well stay away from the park. We propose to make your sg- gregation look like a dimes worth of dog meat. and Pains fireworks will be a sell ing platter to the balloon we are going to turn loose"
