The sleeves. however. have a cachet all
their own. these running up to the neck

The fit Is close around the forearm,

item in the price. and hence the smart
girl who dislikes to see her especial choice
in clothes become too popular may set
her mind at rest anent her possessions in
moleskin.
The pelt itself is so delicate and the
cost OF its manufacture SO high, proper

reaching the bargain counter for many
month to come.

clever ways Of piecing the little skins to-

TWO MOSQUITO YARNS.
They Were Sc Extraordinary That the Third Liar Did Not Dare to
 Tell His Lfxflo Story.


 They were telling mosquito stories. Gney hadsprevarioated right along, to the amusement of the listeners, and each was about to run out of yarns. Each felt that it was time to get in his best yarn.
 Why, over in Jersey" saidthe ;Har- lem man, q was spending tAe night with 8 friend near . big swamp. Alter I crawied in bed I heand crashing noise near my. head, ndturnadaround to find chat a mosquito had beensper- ambulattng through the hallway, had goSten mad, and had driven his bill through the ceillng into my, room. [ jumped up, seized asmon4cey wrench, and braided the bill on the inside. Then I walked through, the side door, seized a shotgun, loaded it,vvith buck shot, fired the whole load into that mosquito, and went to bed again.

At Hartford.

Hartford, June 1S.-Bridgepor out played Hartford yesterday and by very fine work captured the game when Hartford had very good opportunity to win it. Rowen pitched finely but he did not get in tight holes that McCul- tough did and the Bridgeport pitcher must get the credit Of doing the better work!
 Mccullough certainly had the Hart ford batsmen on the griddle yesterday. But one clean hit was made off him.
 It was in the last inning that Hart ford fell down so badly that the work of the stick artists bordered on the dis graceful. Walsh, the new fielder, who had been playing a fine game and bat ting in poor luck, was given his base. Battam bunted, beat 1t out and Walsh ran around to third on the play by speedy footwork. Larry stole second With men on second and third and none out the 900 spectators were will ing to wager current coin of the realm that the game would be reincarnated then and there. O'Brien hit to short and Walsh did not have a chance to make break for the plate. Captain Daily was looked upon to do some thing brilliant and Mccullough showed good judgment in letting him ramble. This filled the bases. Morrison hit to short, Daly was forced at second and Buck was doubled at first.
 Mccullough was the hero of the game, Merrick umpired finely, and there were many nice plys. The score: R.HB. Bridgeport 70 o 900 o o 2 o-2 5s1 Hartford 70 0 0 o 1 o o o 0-1 3 3.

The Czar Among His Subjects.

The Cxar Among Ills Subjects.
 During the ezar's recent visit to Moscow, the populace had an un- usual opportunity to see him at close quarters. He was taking 8 walk, with members of his family, on the wall of the Kremlin. At the Niko1ski gate he had the choice of returning or. going down into the street and up again to the wall on the other side. He chose the latter alternative, and walked, without military escort, through 8 dense concourse of his sub- jects. These were wild with joy at seeing the imperial couple among them; many began to sob, and the czar himself had tears in his eyes, London News.
