The court of appeals has rendered a
decision settling two important ques-
tions Of interest in second class cities.
One Is that the mayor does not have
to report to the board of aldermen for
ratification, appointments made to fill
vacancies, and the other is that an
acting mayor has no right to perform
any duty which the mayor himself can
perform. although the regular mayor
may be absent from the city. The de-
cisions were in case from Lexington,
in which the acting mayor had availed
himself Of the opportunity to appoint
q police commissioner while the may
or was out of the city, the lstter's APP
pointment being rejected by the board
Of aldermen called in special session
for the purpose, and which ratified the
appointment of the acting mayor.

Which reminds me of something over heard the other evening as party of us was going over to the hotei for a dance.
 Mir. Stupid, one of the escort, stepped on Mary De Smythe's lace skirt, beautiful and elaborate affair. She glared at him. and Helen Irresponsible for Mir. Stupid's presence) hastened to change the sub ject.
 What a pretty gown you have, Mary"
 she gushed hypocriucally. Did 1t come from abroad?"
 Yes, snapped the irritated Mary. with a still worse glare at the abashed Stupid ."rhe gown was made in France but 1t has the stamp of America all over the train! Awful silence,
 And now I must tell you all about some of the pretty gowns have seen: A good many of them-and it's a good idea for the girl with a white but thin neck-7are made collarless and begin just where the bones alas, that we should have any-begin to show Such a one was worn by a pretty little blond at an informal hop Thursday night. It was of white dotted null over sepa- rate sea green slip of tafeta. The trans- parent yoke was made of lace braid and fagoting. The close fitting upper caps of the sleeves were of the same while an
 unequally full shirred bodice and a full
 skirt, also set into yoke of shirrfng. A beautiful dress worn one cool even ling was of amethyst crepe de chine all em-

Give me. above all others. a yachting place in which to pass the summer. There is something monotonous about the moun- tains. with their blue gray heat haze and their ever lasting calm. but never about a blue sea ruffied by the wind and dotted over with countless dainty white sails. Then if you happen to be friend of the owner of one of the sails. what fun! There is no pleasure so keen as a sail over partially rough sea. with a stiff wind. Of course there are other times when there Is no wind and yp.i have to whistle for it and be broiled alive by the sun in the meantime. But we won't talk of that.
 In such a resort there is apt to be a clubhouse also. and a clubhouse means a lot of fun in the way of teas. dances etc. with water sports and a gay band playing. These things all bring the men .,.,s f,, ff1II Ix,1a

gowns, with their hair meekly plaited over their demure but mature faces. for the older girls must be married off first. of course
 I am in favor of woman's progress in anything that will get women out of the idea of considering their daughters as per ishable wares, to be disposed of as quick ly as possible.
 The only trouble is that it is the higher class which Is the last to be reached by any reform movement in behalf of Wo- men. They worship the conventional too much and are willing to suffer because they do not dare to follow their own opin- ions.
 At Larchmont. from which place I am writing this, society fairly revolves about the boating contingent and principally about the club.
 If you are not on the water from morn ing till night and if you are not in for all the club festivities you might as well be out of Larchmont, They do things very pretily, too. They string the place with gay Japanese lanterns and color the fountains with pale tinted electric lights and then on special occasions there Is dancing on all the larger yachts in the harbor.
 Another reason why like Larchmont is because there Is so much cottage life, not merely the ephemeral and hashy note crowd. There are cottages. too, that sui' all tastes-"white muslin" cottages. where you meet bevies of young girls and drink lemonade with smart young widows; cot tages where tea @ is served and you heal the following sort of witticism:
 Do you like your tea, Mrr Jones? 'Yes. indeed, Mrs. Giltrox. But 1t isnt 1 the tea; it's the spirit in which is i' .

fault of the parents too. They instill the idea into a girl from her earliest ankle length frock.
 My dear. love exists but in books. You must be clever. do justice to your educa tion and capture d man with money!
 And the young feline claws are sharp encd for the encounter.
 But it is the mother of four who has the hard time. especially if the girls be of the overgrown, weedy type. Then you hear conversation something like this:
 Yes, Ethel and Marion are slight. but so was l at their age. They are only IS and l9 you know"-the girls in question are 2 or IS if day-"but they will fill out and have fine figures by and by"

EVANSVILLE FAIRY TALE.
A Modern AlIadin's Lamp Invented by
Aquilla Walker.

Special to Times Republican.
GAINESVILLE, July 10.-Aquilla Walker,
of this place. the president of the Ce-
dar Falls and GAINESVILLE Heat, Light
and Power Company. has perfected a
light after long term of experiments
which he says for Illumination will sur
pass the electric light by several de-
grees and will revolutionize the light
problem. Mr.. Walker has patents
pending and will manufacture the
lights on large scale as soon as suffi-
Gent capital can be interested in his
discovery. BY combination of chem
icals he produced a light in an air.
tight glass globe. similar to those used
for incandescent lights. and when once
sealed and protected from the air the
light will last until the globe is broken.
There is no current. no expense, after
once made. The lights can be suspend
ed from wires or fixtures to suit the
customer. Mr.. Walker claims that a
light of this nature erected 1000 feet
from the earth, will shed light to the
ground sufficient for reading purposes,
and that for street purposes 1t cannot
be surpa SSed. He has not revealed the
ingredients he uses. He says that he
has been corresponding with parties
who will take hold of his enterprise
and push 1t as soon as he demonstrates
that his claims for his discovery can
be fulfilled. When patented, the rights
will be sold for states. He expects to
reap handsome profit from his labors.
