service, who lost his life when Shah-Ie- han saw that the glorious bull ding was iu the form of a cross!
 Bethat as 1t may, the tracery ofthe h. laid work on the tabourette5 which tells the ninety-nine Beautiful Names of Al lah, repeats again and again the Roman cross, saysa special from here to the Chi cago American. Perhaps the unnamed Italian martyr-architec of4the Tai de signed the tabourette. s.
 On the stand rests a circular tray, which holds the five articles actually forming the smoking set; a match stand ash tray, candlestick, box for cigarettes and cigarette holder. All these are oi heavy gold, reproducing old Indian pat terms and incrusted with jewels.
 The happy girl recipient of this present was born in December, although not on Christmas day; and the turquoise, De cember's stone, is the gem used most Jav- ishly on the smoking set which she will employ Blue, yellow, green, brown turQuoises lend their beauty and bril- liance to the red gold of the set; and am ber-amber Of pureness seldom found --zformsa the nouthpiece of the holder through which the rosy lips of the belle will draw the perfumed smoke of Tur- keys finest tobacco.
 To smoke or not to smoke may be 2 question in the minds of some society girls, but the habit which prevails so uni versally abroad is fast being adopted ir America. American women who move ir court circles abroad openly defend the cigarette, and even Mrs. CornWa1Iis Wes; has been credited with deprecating op. position to the custom prevalent in Flu. ropean society. .
 The beautiful girl for whom this sci was made learned the virtues of the weed during a winter in St. Petersburg, where she was admitted to the inner circles o1 diplomatic life and entertained lavishly by prominent women of the Russian cap itaI, .s.%
 The charm of the cigarette as an ac- compartment of the after dinner deml. tasse captured her, and on her return tc America her girl friends were surprised to find her boudoir fragant with the odoz of the rarest tobacco of the orient.
 She is not the only woman in her sci who enjoys a cigarette, but it is safe to say that she will possess such an outfit for smoking as no other woman in this country has ever seen.
 And remember it is not the gift oi some suitor maharajah, but a token oi love from the fair smokers own father and mother.

A DECIDED BENEFIT.

To Yaehtmen and others-B -Buoys Piac-
 ed In East Side of Harbor.
 For a long time owing to the ab- sence of buoys on the east side of the harbor, yachts and other craft have been exposed to the danger of getting aground in the mud on that side of the harbor. and many have 50 ground ed, causing much delay and discom- fort. Lawyer c. s. Hamilton, who is well known as an experienced yacht man, becoming interested in the mat ter, wrote letter to the lighthouse board at Washington some four weeks ago, calling the boards attention to this subject, and setting forth the need of having buoys placed at suitable in- tervals along the harbor's east side. The lighthouse board gave immediate attention to the matter and replying to Mir. Hamilton's letter informed him that they have instructed the person who has charge of the placing of buoys in the waters this side of Long Island sound to attend to the matter. The result is that suitable number of buoys have been placed this week in the water in that quarter and large num- Der of yaehtmen and others will heart fly thank Mir. Hamilton for his valu- able intervention in the case.

TRAnn nr ALASKA.


 The value of. Alaska trade for the twelve months ending June 30 is esti- mated at twenty million dollars. How large a share of this goes to the credit of Puget Sound, which. in this instance, means primarily Seattle. may be judged by the figures furnished by the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor. The to- tai shipments of domestic merchandise to Alaska during the eleven months ending with May, for which alone full figures are at hand. was sS,10s,ss7. Of which amount $5.sss.15s was from Pu- Iget Sound. The ports at which the shipments of Alaska merchandise were received are not given in the official figures, but as matter of fact by far the greater amount was received at Se- attle, for it is from this port that the vessels of every regular line plying to Alaska depart. The increase in ship lments from Puget Sound to Alaska, lover the corresponding period of last year, was $529. .78S. figures which give the lie to the statement that the trade of Alaska is falling off. In truth and in fact it is expanding with regularity month by month and year by year. The same statistical tables show that the receipts of gold from Alaska during ithe eleven months were SS,O70,26S, exclu- Isive of gold from the British Yukon. This is a gain of over $1.5Oo,U00 over the corresponding period of the previous year.
 The trade of Puget Sound with other
 non-contiguous territory on the Pacific is expanding in a similar proportion to the trade with Alaska For example, we shipped to the Philippines during the eleven months ending with May of this year domestic merchandise to the
 value of s1. .45S. 769 out of a total of s4,- 396, ,759 from all of the ports of the Uni- ted States. This is nearly double the amount shipped from Puget Sound last year and is within $34e,OO0 of as much
 as was shipped from New York. It was over six hundred thousand dollars more than was shipped from San Fran cisco.
 Imports from the Philippines show an extraordinary increase. indicating that Ithe bulk of the trade is destined to lcome this way. Tn. the previous fiscal
 year the imports of Philippine products | at Puget Sound were valued at thirty live dollars. During the eleven months
 ending in June the imports at this port
 were valued at $1,SSO,175. The Atlantic
 ports showed heavy decline in ini-
 ports and the total volume at San
 Francisco was valued at but $550,231.

ANTroUIrY oF THE ROSE.

Rose cultures beginning goes back
 beyond records. The flower is men,
 toned in the earliest Coptic nanu- script. India's tradition takes the rose
 to the times of the gods on earth,
 Egypt had roses. wild and tame, before the Roman occupation made it. in a
 way. Ronle's commercial rose garden;
 yet, curiously enough, there is no ref
 erence to the flower in painting, sculp-
 ture or hieroglyphics. Japan in our time parallels Egypt. Roses flourish
 there, but do not serve as motif for |artists. There is this further likeness neither Egypt nor Japan has rose song. or a love song proper-so 1t may well be that madam the rose Is avenged for the slight.
 The Jews, returning from the Baby ..lonish captivity. took with them a re- compense of roses. seniramis. with the world at her feet, found her chief joy in bower of roses. Mohammed turned back from Mamascus after viewing it encircied with rose gardens. Tt is too delightful. A man can have but one paradise" said the prophet. Damascus Hes in the heart of Syria, whose name some geographers derive from seri, meaning wild rose, and wild roses are abundant there. The

coRoNER's OFFICIAL FINDING.

I z GF s Verdict on Railroad Wreck Above Ce-
 dar Hill Saturday
 Yesterday Coroner Mix issued the full text of his finding in the case of the wrecking of the White Mountain express above Cedar HilH last Saturday might. The coroer finds that from tes- timony taken August that Engineer James H. Mcintosh of the White Noun tain express disregarded or did not ob-
 serve the danger and ca1ltionary sig nals which were set against him as he
 was coming up the main line from New
 Haven and by the Cedar Hill yard.
 The coroner found that Conductor John B. Foley Of extra freight No. 292 | at the time his freight train was mak- ling the siding at the Cedar Hill yard
 did not order or compel his flagman, Thomas McNally, or some other nem-
 Der of his crew, to go out upon the. main line and signal the approaching White Mountain train, that train was upon the main line, as it was his duty ! to do, and is as specified in the rules ofthe conpany conductors shall do, and that by his neglect to do this he con- tributed to the accident which caused the death of Engineer James H. Me. Intosh.
 Coroner Mix also found that by the failure of F7agnlan Thomas McNally
 to go out upon the main line and warn,
 as he well knew 1t was his duty to do l by the rules and regulations of the
 company in the movement of trains up- on it's tracks, by signaling the ap- ljroaching White Mountain train that
 there was train upon it's tracks, he
 also contributed to the cause of the &C., cident which resulted in the death of
 Engineer James H. Mcintosh.
 l He found that the failure of Freight
 Conductor James B. Foley and Flag
 man Thomas McNally to perform their
 duties, which duties they knew should
 be performed, resulted in the death of
 Engineer James H. Mcintosh, and that
 they are criminally responsible for his Ideath.
