FAIR A N ATTRACTIONS.
Eugene CowIes and Madame Sapinsky
for Last Time

The last two opportunities to hear Eugene
Cowles and Madame Sapinsky at Fair Ban
will be offered the public this afternoon and
evening. There will be a matinee concert
this afternoon, at which Mr.. CowSes will
sing a number of love songs admirably
suited to his sympathetic bass voice, and
Madame Sapinsky will render some charm
ing operate and ballad selections. As these
two concerts will be the last ones at Fair
Bank this season presenting vocal soloists,
there will doubtless be large crowds present
upon both occasions. The excellent Osten-
dorf Band, under the direction of Mr..
Barnes, will continue at the Park for sew
eral weeks, but after tonight the pro-
m will be composed entirely of In
strumental music.
The band programme for this evening,
with l.. K. Fisher, cornetist, as the in
strumental soloist, will be as follows:
March. With Sword and Lance. .Starke
Medley overture of popular songs......S Smith

country has been greater during the past
year owing to the prosperity of the people.
Many are now buying precious stones who
never thought of IL before. The great de-
mand for pearls is due largely to a fad
started by the royalty of Europe. Ii has
reached this country and women now wear
these jewels in preference to other stones.
The demand has become so great that 1t is
almost impossible to get a sufficient sup
ply. In talking with jewellers from other
countries whom / met in London and Am
sterdam all said they were unable 10 get
a proper supply for their trade, so fast are
their countrymen and women taking to
precious stones.'
Mr.. Sipe said he was kept quite busy
during his four weeks stay in Europe, run
ming from one broker to another. He had
little time. he said. to note any changes
that had taken place in either of the cities.
But one day aid he take a rest, and that
was to visit one of the scenic parks out
side Amsterdam. His shipment of jewels
has not arrived here yet, but he thinks
they will come early next week.

Mrs. Riley Refused to Let Mrs. McPeaI
See Sick Father.

A. family quarrel occurred yesterday
afternoon at H7 Goodlet avenue, In which
Mrs. John S. Riley and her s~tepdaughter
Mrs. Martha McPeak. were the main par
Elephants. Mrs. McPeak vas called to the
home Of her father, John Riley, to see him
in his last illness, and on arriving at the
door was confronted by the irate STEP
mother, who refused her admittance. The
younger woman told Mrs. Riley that she
came at the request of her father, who
was on his death bed at the time, but a
the mistress of the house, and, instead OF
allowing the woman to see her father, Mrs
Riley, it is said, beat her numerically and
turned her out into the street. Patrolman
Scribner, who happened along about that
time, saw Mrs. McPeak and sent her to the
police station to get a warrant for her step
mothers arrest.

Bicyclemen Trimpe and Lowe were called
to Walnut street and the Belt Railroad yes
terday evening to pacify two women who
were looking for a quarrel and, to all ac-
counts, getting it. Mrs. Samuel Smith, it
is said, engaged in a fight with Mrs. j. +.
Brock, and the two women fought long and
spectators until Mrs. Smith, forgetting the
Queensbury rules in a moment of excite
ment, caused by her antagonist closing in
on her. bit Mrs. Brock three consecutive
times on the left arm. The bicyclemen ar
rived just as the fight was over, but they
made no arrests, as the women both said
they had enough of the quarrel and were
willing to let their differences drop.

1t is to be hoped hat the time is not far
distant when the handy woman can be
found in every community, willing to sell
her skill at Is cents per hour. If she is still
in embryo let us hope she will take the
suggestion of one who has smothered as
pirations as well as ordinations, and take
a short course In carpentry at a manual
training school, so she can put up a shelf
in a closet and drive a nail without in
curing the derision of men by her failure.
The handy woman who can pack a trunk,
cover a chair with c~retonne, varnish a bu-
reau, screw hooks In the wall and darn
stockings for money, not love, has a wide
field and so far no competitors before her.
The woman who can do dainty watercolor
work and make Illuminated text booklets
for Christmas may find 1t lucrative. though
the woman who has a talent for lettering
can make twice the amount of money by
learning silver and gold engraving, but the
handy woman who will let it be known
that she can be depended on to get the cell
lar satisfactorily whitewashed may be sure
of a steady income and hours to suit her
own pleasure.

Smile at the claims of long descent"
but. then, Adam and Eve only came from
Eden, instead of from Kentucky, which
virtually makes a difference. At least, so
would think the heroine of this tale. She
is a nice old colored auntie and the young
lady-a temporary resident of the city-for
whom she had done some fine laundry
work. was talking with her. The old woman
looked admiringly at the girl, a blonde of
radiant complexion n sumptuous figure,
and said:

OLD MAN INJURED.


H. H Parkhill, 143 North Delaware street,
stepped from a moving Central-avenue car
at the corner Of Massachusetts avenue and
New York street, late last night. and was
thrown to the ground with such force that
he suffered several scalp wounds and a
number of bad cuts on his nose and face, as
well as a badly bruised hip. He was taken
to his home in the City Dispensary ambu-
lance, attended by DIR. Jeffries.
Mr.. Parkhill is seventy-two years old, and
stated to Sergeant Rockefeller, who carried
him from the street to a drug store, that he
holds the street-car company free from all
blame, as he did not wait for the car to
stop before getting off.

A nice little black-eyed mother i'm a white

a vision OF little red frock and red hat-of
bright little black eyes and curls tied with
red ribbon-came on to a Pennsylvania
street car the other morning. After the
child had into a seat and had
looked out of the window a few minutes
she turned to a gentleman in the seat be-
hind her and confided to him with evident
great delight:

JEWELS IN GREAT DEMAND.


j. c. Sipe, the jeweler, who has been alb
sent in Europe for more than a month. ar
rived home yesterday. Mr.. Sipe makes a
trip each year to purchase precious stones
for his trade in this city. He said that his
increasing trade here forced him to pur-
chase so per cent. more stones this year
than last. Mr.. Sipe went direct from here
to Amsterdam, Holland, where he made his
purchase of diamonds. Later he went to
London. where his colored stones were pur-
chased. He was in company with his
brother, Samuel +. Sipe. who remained in
Europe and is now visiting in different
parts of Germany.

sterdam there were buyers from ali parts
OF the world. 1t is difficult for the cutters
TO fill all the orders. In London, where the
colored stones are sold, the greatest de-
mand is for pearls These stones are very
rare at this time and consequently much
higher. The same might be said OF dia-
monds and other stones. The trade In this

A headache caused by exposure to the

Take off the waist. loosen the clothing,
knot the hair out of the way, and hold
the head over a basin of hot, steaming

Performances are Enjoyable for Both
Young and Old.

The fair weather of last night brought
cut q big crowd to the Heck Carnival Show
on West Washington street. All the shows
were largely p~atronized. The many free
attractions in the open space on the
grounds did not keep the fun-loving crowd
from entering the tent shows. The crowd
remained until nearly midnight. when the
performers, tired and weary from their Ia
bors, were forced to quit.
The shows will open again this afternoon
and will run continuously until midnight.
The management has been slightly handi-
capped by the weather during the past
week. and this fact has kept lots of people
away from the grounds With clear weather
to-day, however, IL is expected that the in
closure will be taxed to it's utmost capacity.
All the shows will be In full blast and the
free performance will be repeated in the
afternoon and at 10 in the evening.
