35o STATE ST.
NOW TIE HOUSE THRONE
It Has Displaced the Cozy Corner
How to Put One To-
gether.

The latest indication OF luxury in the
homes is the introduction Of the throne.
an idea which has been borrowed, like
many others, from the far east. 1t is o
ereat improvement over the ~stereotypeG
cozy corner, says the Washington Star
The throne is especially desirable in a
room where there is a high window com
handing good view. Monotonous lines
will thus be broken, and the window be
made useful.
The first step in the securing of a house
throne is to erect a platform of the de-
sired height and size. II more than Is
inches high, steps lead to the platform
When finished, the platform is carpeteG
or has a rug thrown over it. The latter
Is usually considered better, a~siftcadi

the carpet. 90 'fa
A box couch. upholstered with good.
springs, Is then set on the platform, and
over this an artistic Grapery of tapestry
is thrown. Bright colored cushions to
harmonic with the draperies and rug
help to make the corner attractive.
The high window beside the couch is
%curtained with a soft silk, chintz or
velvet. If the latter is used. it will also
make good portieres to hang over a pole
in front of the throne. The portieres not
only add TO the artistic effect, but will be
found usaful when any member of the

household wishes to take a siesta. A
quantity of cushions on the platform, a
set of book shelves with books. and, II
space admits, a tea table, add to the cor
ner's attractiveness.
A high window is not an absolute
necessity. A throne seen recently in a
living room vas arranged in a dark cor
ner for a cozy retreat, 1t was up
holstered in red and green, and the colors
frightened the entire room. AS there
wa no window, a frize of red velvet was
stretched about the orn Of the wall,
and framed on this was a frieze Of the
prophets in black and white effect.
A big drop electrolier, with shades Of
green and red, was swung over the
couch, SO that the occupant could read
in the evening. The cushions were OF
velvets and soft bright colored silks.
1nis idea can be carried out in accurate
Japanese, Turkish, East Indian OF any
oriental effect, at comparatively small
expense. The cushions, to be oriental,
must have their corners punched In.

At 1880 o'clock yesterday afternoon
q Hebrew FROM Perth Amboy came
down Main street, Tottenville, with
some barrels in a wagon. He stopped
in front Of Edward Corson's grocery
store, Main street, and filled up the

With'him we're two boys and the
driver thought Of a bright idea to say
paying fare for them from Tottenville
to this city. He made the boys climb
into the barrels and he placed other
barrels on the top, and started off fol-
the ferry congratulating himself.
But he forgot that q number of
people had been watching him and
one of them told Thomas Connors, the
ticket chopper. Connors allowed the
team to get aboard the Warren and
then told him it would cost him ten
cents more, The fellow asked why
aud Connors took the top barrels off
the wagon and showed him the two
boys. The Hebrew found that the
game was up and he paid the money,

UBURBANTOHERMIS
Handicap at Sheepshead Bay
Won by Thomas Horse.
PICKET SECOND, IRISH LAD THIRD
Son of Hermence Took Command OF
the Field at Once and Was Never
Headed-Hnlf a Million Doll
lars Changes Hands.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Hermis, own
ed by Edward X. Thomas, easily won
the Suburban handicap, valued at $780,
900, at Sheepshead Bay. The son of
Hermence was on his toes when the
barrier snapped. He crossed in front
Of six competitors from the outside and
passed the judges stand in the lead on
his journey of one and one-quarter
miles. From the position of command
thus secured on the rail he was never
headed and won under a perfect ride
by Arthur Redfern in the time of 2:05,
the best on record for the Suburban
and two-fifths of a second slower than
the track record of 2:04 80, held by
McChesney. Irish Lad, the public ia
vorite, failed entirely to Justify the
confidence of his hackers and finished
third, nosed out of second honors by
The Picket.
The field was lined up and sent away
in perfect order by Starter Fitzgerald.
Hermis, from outside position, shot to
the front as if hurled from a %catapult.
Passing the judges stand he had Sc
cured the coveted place on the rail,
with Irish Lad and The Picket close
behind. The others did not appear to
be in the same class. On the racers
sped, around the turn and down the
backstretch, never changing position
for an instant. Irish Lad challenged
again and again, but to no purpose.
He crept up on the flying leader re-
peatedly, but was unable to hold the
terrific pace. much less overhaul him.
The Picket, the hope of the western
and southern contingent. ran along un-
concernedly in third place until the
mile post had been reached. Then he
drew up and crept past the Duryea
horse incl by inch. Hermis, never
touched by the whip, simply threw de-
fiance out to the others in the dust
from his pattering hoofs, and through
the stretch he was not wen challenged.
The Picket nosed out Irish Lad for
second money, and the great race was
over. Proper, Major Daingertield and
Africander brought up the rear.
Had the winner been pushed he
would have broken the record for the
track with ease. When the vast crowd
realized the splendid exhibition of
equine worth shown by the victor it
arose en- masse and cheered him wild
ly despite the fact that the bookmakers
had accepted and won nearly $4,000
on the defeat of Irish Lad. Hermis
was heavily backed, however, and at
least one-quarter of the amount taken
in on the defeat of the favorite was
paid out on the winner.

GOVERNOR GENERAL SHOT.
Ruler of Finland Mortnlly Wounded
by Anti-Ru ssian AgitatOr.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 17.-Gen-
eral Nikolai Bobrikolf, governor gen
eral Of Finland, was shot and MORALLY
wounded at the entrance to the Fin
nish senate at Helsingfors.
The assassin, Il man named Schau-
mann, Il son of Senator Schaumann,
Immediately committed suicide. Bo-
hrikotf was shot in the stomach and
neck. He is being brought to st.
Petersburg in n dying condition.
Three shots were fired, two of which
caused slight wounds in the neck and
chest. The third bullet penetrated the
abdomen and necessitated Il serious
operation, which was successfully per
ormcd after the sacrament had been
administered to General Bobrikoff,
The bullet was extracted and IA portion
of the intestines removed.
The attack is ascribed to Finnish pa
triotism. Schaumann was Il member
of what is known as the Finnish Pa
triotic party.
General Count Bobrikof was appoint
cd governor general of Finland in
April, 1890, and soon aftcrward dis
tinguished himself by his severity. He
inauguratcd Il campaign against the
Finnish press which aroused consider
able feeling.
While little is known here concerning
the motives behind Schaumann's act
the authorities entertain no doubt thai
it grew out of opposition to the policy
of the classification of Finland.

OUTSIDERS IN THE HOME.
When They Are Brought In, the
Whole Family Should Share in
Caring for Them.

II Is an injustice to an aging mother
who has brought up her own children,
through the trials that have broken her.
to surround her too constantly with the
eager, insistent life of our children, life
that saps even our sturdier vigor, says
fIarper's Bazaar. 1t is good for children
Ia have a grandmother, but It is not al
ways good for a grandmother to have so
many grandchildren. She needs long in
tervals free from any sort of disturbance,
and IL is almost impossible to secure
them for her in our teeming households,
We who attempt 1t generally had our
seyIes buffeted like a breakwater that
stands between some shoreward stretch
Of SILL water and the wild ocean forces
without. 1t Is for the grandparents
sake. then. quite as much as for IL own,
or fur that of our husbands and children,
that We exhaust the possibilities to find
All outside shelter for them and a sepa-
rate Neld of activity.
And still there remain cases where
some helpless or unhappy old person
must be received into our very home,
must i've close with us between four
walls. Then let us make it a family mat
ter; the burden ought not to be carried
by one alone-indeed, 1t cannot be. A
| frank talk over the situation, without
| temper or tears. will usually make this
| clear to the reasonable family we ought
| to nave made our family. The Il is,
we too often endure past the limit OF en-
| durance and then demonstrate past
| iusice of remonstranCe. We-the whole
| family-are now elected to a high once
| by that unacceptable circumstances
which always bears the stamp OF a
| higher will. AS a unit we are to bear q
burden; as a unit. give kindness, cour-
tesy, careful consideration; as a unit
master personal rcpugnances; as a unit

TO TRACE CRIMINALS
BY THE FINGER MARKS.
Chief of Police of Central Rail
road will AGOpt the Sys-
tenn.

Chief of Police Dougherty, of the
New Jersey Central Railroad, who
has Just returned from the st. Louis
Exposition, where he attended the an
nual convention of police chiefs, was
favorably impressed with what is
known ms the fnger-print system in
police circles ana he intends introduce
ing 1T in his department on the rail-
road. 1t may prove to benefit to
him, and at the same time assist the
various departments along the line of
the road.
This system is considered by the
chiefs of the big cities to be at valu-
able addition to the Bertillion system,
which has been in hse for a long time.
The finger print system to be effective
must be accompanied by a photograph
of the person whose firger-prints a G
kept as a record. The remarkable
feature about it Is that it is claimed
that the fingers never change and thu
the prints made a year or more from
now would be just the same as those
made at the present time. The prints
are made by the use of ink, the fingers
being placed on a linked plate and theI
on a sheet of paper to be kept as q re-
cord. There is space for each finger
and also for the fingers collectively.
