Constantinople, Sept. 1. = Childrel
playing in the street of the Ortakeny
district near Yildiz Kiosk, saw an al,
balloon alight When examined It
proved to contain bomb with a fuse
attached. 1t is believed that the bal
loon was set free by agents of the Revo-
lutionaries, who hoped that it would
alight within the Yildiz Kiosk itself
and blow up the sultan's palace.
The incident has aroused the Wild

New York, Sept 2.-For the first
time since her divorce suit was insti-
tuted Mrs. Roland B. Molineux's al

THE DOMESTIC REALM.
Bints and Suggestions That May Be of Value to the Progressive
 Housewife.

Large, heavy pieces of furniture are out of place in 8 small house or small room, only making the re- stricted space appear even more so.
 Before throwing aside a garment remove the buttons or hooks and eyes. Sometimes the want of one of these trifles is very great, particular ly if one is far from the shops.
 A cement that will unite card to tiE is made by boiling one ounce of borax and two ounces of powdered shellac in 15 ounces of water till the shellac is entirely dissolved, says the Chicago Daily News.
 The size of small room is only made more apparent by a figured car- pet. A plain carpet is best here, and if possible carpet two rooms opening into each other alike, so as to give the idea of greater space.
 To make liquid glue dissolve the glue in strong, hot vinegar, then add one-fourth as much alcohol and lit tie alum. This is 8 very useful ce- ment for mending various things, end will keep a long time in a close ly stoppered bottle.
 Too much matching is not consid- cred desirabl in home-furnishing, as it is apt to result in a tiresome lack of variety. One authority says: Anybody can match, but it takes a master hand to introduce the prop CT color touches and produce har- mony."
 At one very large and very elab- crate dinner given in honor of de butante, tho sherbet was served in small tubs of Japanese ware, orna- mented with gilded gold sticks, which were the favors to be carried home, In another case the ice cream came on in small gilded covered boxes, which could be used afterward to hold trinkets. A removable lining, it is scarcely necessary to say, protect ed the metal from the ice cream.
 Acorn portieres are a suggestion that comes from Japan by the way of England. They should be gath cred in generous fashion, bushel being none too many. On dark brown cord heavily waxed, string long lines of acorns, mixing the tans. browns, golden yellows and greens as fancy dictates. The nuts may be stored into piles according to the col bring, and each strand threaded with one tint. Or the lines may be variegated. When enough strands are finished and the ends of each SC. curely tied, arrange on rod or bit of gri1le-work as portiere. If liked, the strands may be caught together, making diamond-shaped squares about halfway down their length. The portiere is effective in den or summer cottage.

sEWELL GOING TO BRIDGEPORT.
Trolley Workers Down That Way Said
 To Be Getting Uneasy.

!.
 Bridgeport, March 24-According to reports now, a conference will be held between General Manager Sewe1 and a committee of employees of the local trolley system either tomorrow or Thursday afternoon. The conference will be held per the request of the rep resentatives of the local men com municated to Resident Manager Smith Saturday afternoon and accepted by MT Sewell. There appears, however, to be difference regarding the under standing as to the time of the confer ence, as Mir Seweil says he understands that it is to be held Thursday, while one of the men announces that he ex- poets it will be held Wednesday, as re quested. Manager Sewell said last night that he had agreed to meet dele gation of the local employees. .'I will confer, or expect to, on Thursday af- ternoon with thern," he said last night, land while don't know just what rep resentations they will make, I under stand that the time tables are to be discussed. You may say that am al- ways willing to meet any of the em- ployes of the road" One of the troll leymen said last night that the commit tee had requested an interview with Manager Sewell, and when asked for a statement as to what the demands of the men would be, he replied that they "desired civil recognition" but just what they proposed to ask he did not feel at liberty to state. He said: "In- formation must come through a vote of the union. We are not disturbers, but peaceful men, and are not inclined to be unreasonable in our demands. I cannot tell you whether we shall ask for shorter hours, neither can I tell you if we shall ask an increase of pay. It is n rule of our organization that de- mands of that kind must first be voted upon by a majority vote of the organ ization and must then be presented to the national association before they can be acted upon. Tn this meeting of the committee with Manager Sewell. which may take place Wednesday af- ternoon, we shall look for recognition of our men as union, desiring to stand on as good footing as such, as we ], did before such union was formed. can say that we are 1aw-abiding mes and are in no way inclined to do any thing but what is proper and right"
 When asked last night if he had been approached Tor conference by the Bridgeport trolley men, Manager Sew. ell replied that he had seen the story in the papers for the last two or three days. He did not know what griev- ances they had, if any. He had al ways conferred with them and their relations were always friendly. He expected that they would be so in the future. He would meet the Bridgeport trolley men on Wednesday or Thurs. day.
