SOCIETY ON TROLLEYS.
Country Fad of Riding In Palattal
ParlOr Cars.

ParlOr Cars.
Miss Erwin Martin, president Of the
College Women's club of New York
city, made an experiment in the outing
line the other day that proved so sue
cessful that 1t rs likely to be adopted
by the exclusive social set in New
York, says special dispatch from
Stamford, Conn, to the New York
Press. Miss Martin gave trolley ride
to a party of friends, among whom
were Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Sage, Helen
Gould and Frank Gould, and the ride
was such charming affair that even
Mr.. Sage admitted that, though he did
not exactly believe in vacations, he
was much In favor of jaunts of this
kind
All of Miss Martins guests were
pleased and promised to give some Of
their own accord during the summer.
The party Travelled in private parlor
car from New York to Stamford. 1t
was the intention to send the car to
Tarrytown to take Miss Gould and
some of her friends aboard, but the big
car was too high to pass beneath a
bridge near Mamaroneck, and the ex-
cursionists had to travel from New
York to New Rochelle by steam cars.
They left New York at 10 in the morn
ing and boarded the private car at
New Rochelle about II. The car was q
palace on wheels, and nothing was
lacking that might add to the comfort
of Miss Martin and her guests.
The run to Stamford was made lei
surely, and there were frequent stops
along the route at points Of interest
On the way up delicious luncheon
was served aboard the car by an ex
perienced chef The party arrived II
Stamford at i:15 and after brief stay
returned to Rye Beach, where Mis-
Martin entertained her guests at ar
old fashioned inn. After dinner thu
party sat for awhile listening to thu
music at the beach, then boarded thu
car and returned to New Rochelle. r.

Chasing Shadows.

The world is coming more and more
to the conclusion that the mad pursuit
of riches, which it had regarded as the
securing of substance, is after all but
the chasing of shadows. Very many
rich men have recently borne testimony
to the fact that money is not an end
to be sought. Even Russell Sage, the
last man who would have been sus-
pected of holding such views, has ex-
pressed the opinion that many things
are more valuable than dollars. For
all this, we have not observed any mad
scramble among the millionaires to
give away their wealth. They per-
ceive that the idolatry Of it is very
harmful sort of fetch worship, and
yet by their actions admit that they
are still slaves to their possessions.
If material things are but symbols.
as the idealist school holds, and money
In turn is but the symbol of these
material things, then money is the
symbol of symbol, the shadow
of shadow. Yet we talk of those who
donate dollars as "giving of their sub
stance" 1t is in this way that men
invert the truth. =
1t is hopeful sign that the dollar
idolatry is passing out. Money has its
function and In its right use and place
is helpful. When men cease to regard
it as their god, they will find it very
serviceable slave. They should master
1t, not let it master them.
Everywhere are to be seen. signs Of
returning sanity on the question:, even
in Wall street. Here, where the great
god Mammon was thought to be en-.
throned and the golden calf was wOr.
SHIPPED, at least one man gives crafty
ing evidence that he sees the inward
ness of it all.
AS the compilers Of dictionaries bear
witness, Wall street is good word
factory, turning out daily new terms,
about one in every score successfully
running the gantlet of the word critics
and finding its way into the big die
tionaries.g
"Pseudoic" is the latest production OF
this word mint. The adjective has
been coined by Wall street lawyer
William Augustus Smith. for the title
to good humored but merciless satire
on the worshipful pursuit Of money
With the buzz of the tickers in his ears
Mr.. Smith created an embodiment OF
the moving spirit of the street, and hi
dubbed it Ibis pseudoic majesty" The
word means more than false. It in
cludes the idea of self deception as vel
as of hollowness and mockery.
In its insane scramble for ''pseudoie'
things the race has lost its way. It |,
time for it to return to the path.

Now that mosquito time is here
a description Of newly invented mos
quito trap will be Of interest, says the
Louisville Ky3 Herald. A mosquito
trap is novelty in it's way, 1t being
generally understood that human in
genuity did not reach the point Of trap
ping this willy insect The trap in ques-
ton is a boy about foot square and
made Of plain wire screening. latticed
like window shutter. The merit Of
the invention, however, lies within,
where there is a small automatic music
box, which. when set in notion makes
a noise similar to that made by per-
son breathing in sleep. Around this
box Is a gummy substance, which is
calculated to hold and poison the insect
the moment it lights. The Invention
is based on the theory that mosquitoes
are attracted to human beings by the
wheeling noise, made when sleeping.

ONE OF FOLKS STORIES.
Missouri's Democratic Nominee FOR
Governor on Meanness.

Mis.ouri's Democratic Nominee For
Governor ON Meanness.
II was Joseph W. Folk; the circuit
attorney of st. Louis, who brought the
St Louis boodlers TO justice, and VINO
has been nominated for governor OF
Missouri by the Democratic state con-
vention. Talking one day about boodling
and the meanness of 1t, Mr.. FOLK said
to a reporter:
"There is something small and little
about robbing taxpayers, robbing wild
ows and orphans and all manner OF
poor folk. He is a mean man who
commits this crime, as mean as one
saw once on a Mississippi steamer.
"And he was strangely mean. that
chan. He was travelling with his
daughter, little girl of five or six.
He was holding her over the rail 30
that she could see monster catfish,
when. somehow, he let go of her, and
she fell into the deep stream with a
splash.
"A deck hand was after her in an in.
slant HeadfOremost he shot In, and
she was back in her fathers arms
again before three minutes had passed
"The father was profoundly grateful
to the deck hand. He pulled out dollar
bill.
"'Got any changer he said.
"The man had none, SO the father
went bustling nervously here and there
over the boat, waving his dollar bill
and saying:
Got any change? Got any change
Who's got change for a dollar? Here,
a man has just saved my daughter
life and l want to give him quarter

And upon his return 1t is almost al
ways YES IL the project however
does not come up to his exacting re-
ouirements 1t is turned down without

! "Going upstairs" Mr.. Lawson as
serts means consulting with William

Mfr. Lawson says also that every maj
